Resend Anon

Bestie, I need a short story on Ruki or Azusa accidentally getting themselves trapped by an old fish net, within like the middle of the ocean and the shore, where their visible to the public eye. But their trapped in a area where no one really goes except the hunter brothers, the trap was actually very old and not for them but regular fish or any other kinds. So they spend days in that trap (unable to call their brothers for help cause the net was also tied around their mouth don’t ask questions) and when Carla or Shin finally came, the mermen were really weak idk what happens next ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Three hooks, one life

(Thanks for resending this btw because it would be a pain to scroll through post to find it)

Azushin Mermaid AU…

Who would’ve thought things would turn. In a blink of an eye, the dark pit where a kraken lurks has finally got its tentacles around its prey. Months, months, and weeks, the plan initiated and swimmingly sailed along the fog.

Thrashing and squirming, the repeatedly thudding of a tail and canal fin wasn’t a match for weighted nets and tranquilizer darts along Azusa’s curved hips and backside already marked the end of his living in the vast ocean. Blood sharks wouldn’t dare imagine to spot thinned and mixed with the water for small critters to get a whiff of. Blurred vision only spotted Ruki’s sealed fate to officially succumb to the Hunter Brothers.

Everything hurt and water in the small, open cuts from the darts didn’t smooth the stinging like a jellyfish wound. Go back, go, like a thought would normally put in your head, but your body won’t fall through with it.

The shore was right there yet so far, but the area was hidden well for a blind man not to poke at. The scent of blood filtered the blue water and swirled into thin lines and curls with each wiggle Azusa gave with his tail. If he could drown, life would've ended five minutes ago, two in fact. Sharpened teeth attempt to rip through the nets covered in debris, only turning out fray and rigid. Everything hurt.

The moments from being brought onto land was awful. Gills that could take in oxygen acted like shrivled leaves in the winter, arteries that couldn't pump blood back to the heart. No sight of Ruki with a terrible glance around already made Azusa's queasy belly worse. No method to scream as rope acted like jungle vines that managed to wrap at the mouths; it was brutal. Tiredness sunk from those darts and that was it, for now. Lids that felt like anchors only grew heavier and heavier, like being stuck between real life and a nightmare sucking you back in for more. The surface of the water, the rainbow of plants, fish, and rocks below- All gone. Nothing would stay, but won't be forgotten.

----------------------------------------------------

"Mmm..." you whimpered, running your fingers through Shu's hair as he expertly stroked your folds with his tongue. He held your shaking legs steady with his strong arms, rendering you powerless to escape the overwhelming pleasure he was delivering. He sucked your clit between his lips and your hips bucked. Shu gripped your legs firmer. "Mmm...Shu..." you whimpered. In response he slid a finger in your opening and continued long licks that had you writhing and trembling with ecstasy. "Shu...more..." you begged him. You heard Shu chuckle to himself. "What a lewd girl." "Shu..." you whined and your lover complied, running his tongue over your clit.

"Haa...nnn..." you felt your orgasm approaching. Your body heated up and you felt the building...your legs shook above Shu's head...you broke, moaning loudly as your orgasm crashed down on you.

Shu chuckled and leaned up to kiss you on his arms. You breathed heavily, coming down from your high. You smiled at him and pushed him down on his back, then bent down to kiss the tip of his dick, smiling to yourself when his thighs quivered. You draped the side of body over his torso.

You opened your mouth and took him into your mouth. With one hand Shu stroked your hair, the other went between your thighs. You whimpered around his dick in between sucks as he rubbed your clit. "Good job. You're doing well." Loving the praise, you continued to suck and took him deeper in your mouth, eliciting a low moan from him.

Shu's thighs shook and he gently pried you off. He kissed you gently and you leaned on top of him, pouring yourself into the kiss and touching his strong biceps. "Not yet." He murmured against your lips. You moaned into his mouth, tilting your head. He cupped the back of your neck gently, running his fingers through your hair. The other hand massaged your breast.

He kissed down your neck. "Good girl." He purred and you beamed at him, which made him smile at you with such love that your heart swelled. "I love you." "I love you too." He leaned in for another kiss, touching your breasts, kneading them. "Shu..."

Shu adjusted himself so he was back fully on his back, only his head elevated by the pillows. "Ride me." The instruction was gentle, loving, yet dominant enough that you got aroused. "I've never ridden you before." suddenly insecure. "First time for everything." Shu replied casually. You laughed and he held your hands to help you climb on top of him. He held your waist steady as you positioned your core over his stiff member. "I'm gonna lower you down. Are you ready?" "Yeah."

You held onto his shoulders as he helped guide you down onto his length. Like always, you gasped as he slid in. You whimpered as he continued to fill you up. "Yes, good girl, just like that." He felt even bigger than usual and you bit your fist to stifle a moan at the stretched feeling. You moaned as one. "Mm...good girl...nnn...keep being a good girl, yes." Your other hand was still on his broad shoulder. You traveled it down a little, feeling his toned chest. His eyelids lowered in lust as you sat on top of him completely, and you stilled, the pleasure overwhelming.

He wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you in for a kiss, which you happily returned, wrapping your arms around his neck. Your forward mocement made his dick shift inside you and you cried out at the pleasure it gave. You pulled away from the kiss and looked at him. His eyes were closed with pleasure, which made you smile. He opened his eyes and met your gaze, then smirked, knowing exactly why you were smiling.

"You like making me feel good?" He asked huskily. You nodded. "You're a good girl for me." Just like that, you melted again. He moved his hands so they were settled on your bottom. "Ready to move?" You looked down at your conjoined bodies, then back up. "Uh, I think so. But I don't know how-" Shu stroked your hair. "Don't worry, I'll help." and you laughed again.

You lifted your body to start to ride him, your jaw dropping for a moan. Shu guided you steadily, moving his legs up slightly to assist you. He moaned your name. "Good girl. You're being such a good girl." You moaned again louder, and your head fell forward. You bit into his shoulder. He kissed the top of your head. "I want to hear you. Be a good girl and let me hear your cute little moans." As always, the praise melted you and you moaned. "Heh, that's my good girl." You bounced on top of him, gaining more confidence, and Shu groaned, his eyes devouring your body with admiration. "Fuck." Shu growled. Your brows knit together and you clung to him. "Good girl, yes, fuck..." He wrapped his arms around you again and held you close, thrusting up into you." "Ahhh!" You moaned, digging your nails into Shu's flesh. One his hands traveled down your breasts and stomach to flick your clit. His other arm remained hook around your waist, holding you close.

You tightened your hold on him as your orgasm sent you moaning and writhing in his arms. Shu growled and thrust up faster...harder...until he climaxed as well, filling you with his seed.

"Hah...hah..." you both panted. He held you close, lovingly, and kissed your head. You tilted your head to face him and kissed his mouth. With him still inside you, albeit softening, you held each other close.

DIABOLIK LOVERS More,Blood Stellaworth Complete Set Tokuten Short Stories ☽ Ruki ver.

Original title: DIABOLIK LOVERS MORE,BLOOD ステラワース全巻連動購入特典ショートストーリ English translation by @otomehonyaku Scans can be found here (courtesy of @karleksmumskladdkaka!)

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

SUMMARY | This short story provides a slice of Ruki and Yui's daily life after the events of More,Blood. Ruki has always had a preference for soup, but when Yui prepares a particularly hearty vegetable soup for him one day, he comes to an important realisation.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

—The first time I learned to appreciate soup was when I was in that dark cage.

“It had already gone cold, but to me, it was the most delicious thing on Earth back then. It was infinitely better than the junk I ate while I roamed the streets, after all.”

“Oh…”

Somehow, as I ate the soup she had prepared for me, I had somehow started talking about all the reasons why I had this particular preference for the dish. The story had stolen the words right from her mouth.

“I’m sorry,” I said. “I shouldn’t have brought up such an unpleasant story during dinner.”

“That’s… that’s not it,” she explained, hurrying to wipe the tears from her eyes. That’s not what I meant…”

“Do you pity my past self?”

“Pity kind of feels like… a high-handed way of putting it. I don’t mean it like that…”

“I see.” My voice was monotonous while I spoke. 

I took up my spoon again and continued to eat. 

It was a simple consomme soup, filled with colourful slices of a variety of vegetables. The soup that we were served during our time in the detention facility was a far cry from this. Back then, the few off-coloured beans that floated in the soup, though they barely had any nutritional value, were enough to bring me at least an inkling of happiness. 

While the memory resurfaced, it occurred to me that I had obtained true happiness since then, no matter how absurd it seemed.

“And to think a human would accompany me at dinner…” I mumbled to myself, earning a surprised look and a soft what did you say? from her. 

It’s nothing, I swiftly replied.

My life was saved by Him. The four of us had been destined to die a noble death in that filthy cell, and yet He had rescued us. Just like that, he became our god. Our saviour.

Someone to serve.

My brothers and I would do anything to fulfil his wishes without batting so much as an eye. And yet… What was I even doing right now?

I let her make soup for me like this. She willingly stayed with me all this time, even though she cannot become Eve. Even though I cannot become Adam.

“Ruki…?”

As we sat in silence, various thoughts stirring inside of me and picking at my resolve, I reached across the table to take her hand in my own.

“...?”

“Sorry. Would it be alright… if we stayed like this for a little while?” I said, my grip on her small, soft hand tightening. 

Greed is a grave sin according to God. 

Considering that I agreed with Him, I was awfully addicted to this greed all the same. I was the sinner of all sinners, thriving on such atrocities. When a simple bean soup was all it took to please you, the first taste of a good vegetable soup makes it easy to take such happiness for granted.

“Still, I will…” 

Never let you go, I wanted to say, but I could not manage the words. She likely did not want to listen to the mutterings of such a weak, pitiable man.

It was difficult to gauge her thoughts, but it was then that she spoke with a gentle smile on her face. “Don’t worry.”

“What?”

“I’ll be by your side, Ruki.”

My eyes unconsciously widened in response. Her soft smile made my chest ache. She was Eve and I was her captor—she should be miserable, and yet she was so extraordinarily kind. 

Did she not realise that it would only add to my suffering?

“Alright,” I replied curtly. Then, ever so unwillingly…  I let go of her hand. “The soup is getting cold. Let’s eat.”

“Yes, let’s.”

After that, we ate the soup together in silence. 

I found myself thinking there was nothing in the world that I wanted more in that moment. No matter how lavish a meal I would be served, I would cherish this vegetable soup as my favourite dish for as long as I lived.

Diabolik Lovers More, Blood Stellaworth Complete Tokuten Short Stories (Ayato, Kou, Ruki, Azusa, Yuma, Kanato)

(Click here for Laito, Subaru, Shuu and Reiji)

A decade ago this booklet was a tokuten you'd receive for buying the complete set of More, Blood CDs from Stellaworth. Nowadays, if you're really lucky, you can find it sold at Japanese flea markets or second hand stores. As with a lot of the booklets, the short stories in this one have nothing to do with the plot of the CDs, but are simply standalone moments between Yui and the Diaboys, written from the POV of the guys.

Enjoy (*^▽^)/★*☆♪

Yesterday, I ran into OC hate, which makes today an even better day to post this amazing thing I just received. Such a great reminder that we all should do what makes us happy if we aren't hurting anyone.

And creating Yuriko’s story makes me happy. I love writing this story and sharing it with others. Surely, it's not for everyone, but that's okay. As long as I enjoy doing this, I'll keep writing and publishing. For me and for people who also love OC stories.

So, new chapters of Her Calamity will be out on Saturdays until I'm done with Maniac. After that, I'll release the free ebook version, if you would rather have that. It's a digital copy of this physical one I ordered for myself.

[vampires-bitrs]

Bride or Sacrifice?

I like Yui, but I love the sacrificial brides.

The psychology behind it all: thinking that they would be the one to survive, yet they just die. We all think we would be Yui in the situation, but more than likely, we'd end up just like all the other brides.

So, this is a shoutout to:

All the brides who died due to the boys overindulgence and greed.

All the brides who tried to escape but got caught.

To all the girls who died due to Shu's apathy and carelessness.

To all the girls who died due to Reiji's poison.

All the girls who died due to Ayato's torture.

All the girls who were driven to insanity because of Laito.

The brides who were turned into wax dolls by Kanato.

All the girls who died at the hands of Subaru's reckless brutality.

Most importantly, all the girls who died during the awakening because of an old vampire's sick, twisted game.

Am I Your Feet of Clay?

Prompt: Daddy Issues, Bad Relationships.

Person: Yui Komori & Seiji Komori

God, are you listening?

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

🎬 Yui spent her entire life waiting.

🎬 Constantly tapping her heel on the floorboards, awaiting a the clocks hand ticked again, and again, and again. The seconds going by slow, the minutes; even slower. Blinks of battered lashes became strenuous, and nails grazed clenched palms, threatening to bruise.

🎬 Her breath would stiffen, her body; host an unmarked tremble. She’d been used to the cold nights, and the even colder times spent alone. Waiting. Waiting for her father, the nuns, someone to pay her any mind.

🎬 Yui couldn’t tell how long had passed, her thoughts and visions consumed with seeing one fated man. Like a predator stalking its prey, she sat in anticipation.

🎬 Food was prepared, the table was set. Warmth dulled down to cool and cold as a hesitant smile stayed plastered upon her face.

🎬 She waited. Until the girl was far too tired to continue. And despite it all, with her eyes threatening to close shut, her tapping becoming slowed, and her fists unclenching by the second, she sat with her sulking posture up against the wooden chair.

🎬 With a slight prayer, her hands would clasp in front of her in a desperate plea. Like a proud and obedient devotee, never could she understand why her god dejected her cries, ignored her woes, laughed at her misfortunate sorrows.

🎬 But like most nights, her routine stayed firm. She uttered words, familiar on the tongue, scratchy on the throat. Yui knew it all too well, now having memorized it.

🎬 It was a simple request, not too much to ask for, she’d insist. But overbearing at best, when presented with a man dressed in saintly robes and silks.

🎬 “God… if you are again listening, you know by now who I am.”

🎬 A pause, a stifled whimper, an inhale of the nose; a sniffle, if you will.

🎬 “Please…! For once… allow father to stay for dinner.”

🎬 That’s all she ever wanted, something so mundane, so simple. Yui didn’t like to be alone. But that’s all she’s ever known. So for every night she stayed awake, sacrificing her sleep and patience, she prayed that she wouldn’t have to eat alone. Just like all the nights and years before.

🎬 Blonde curls get lost in clasped hands, “For once…” Tears now threatening to fall, her prayer now being lost to the world.

🎬 So as the clock strike close to midnight, the food long cold and mouldable mush, the blonde waited. Never to be met with her fathers gaze, or the warmth he dare steal from her soul.

🎬 She waited. Just as every other night and the nights before that, hoping for an instance that her father would one day pause, reset his clock, and sit across from her at the dinner table.

🎬 She was born waiting.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

HC’s:

🎬 Yui canonically always ate dinners alone, meals alone, etc.

🎬 She was heavily neglected, and left to her own devices regularly.

🎬 She wanted her father to spend time with her, even if it was something small.

🎬 Every small moment spent, like gardening, church service, and more, she cherishes it.

🎬 Yui canonically also has daddy issues.

🎬 Presented by the neglect, coupled with the conditional affection, it’s no wonder that Yui waits around for men.

🎬 To go from the religion she once devoted herself and prayed to, waiting at alters and staying behind masses, to finding no sense of self and betrayal at the end of the light— Yui’s tired.

🎬 Her father cared in his own way, however despite her constant go lucky, faithful facade, it could never mend her broken heart, and the nights she stayed up crying herself to sleep.

🎬 Yui had a stuffed bunny from when she was younger. It was battered up and tearing at the seams, but it was the closest she had to a friend. Something to confide in when she found herself losing faith in herself and the world around her.

🎬 The bunny represented innocence and fragility, terms that she found was associated with her far too much.

🎬 Only when she would come into contact again with her father after the vampiric houses, would she realize it held merit.

🎬 Yui was replaceable, but yet considered to be an integral piece of the puzzle, the queen on the forgotten chess board.

🎬 How was it that her ideologies up until now had been nothing but falsities fed to her with a wooden spoon?

🎬 She was raised to be cattle, the sacrificial lamb.

🎬 To be pure, docile, subservient, and above all, obedient.

🎬 It was unfortunate that she hadn’t been taught anything other than being a good obedient housewife, a trophy wife, a placeholder to make the man a true man.

🎬 When Yui was gifted her rosary, she vowed to never swap it out. Not only for it serving as a true devotion towards her Catholic faith, but towards her fathers subtle care.

🎬 She likes to look at the moon, for it held opportunities like no other.

🎬 She always wondered who else was watching the same moon, perhaps in a different area, and what their life and normal entailed.

🎬 Yui used to cry when watching the moon, finding small tears stray down her cheeks and hit the floor.

🎬 Perhaps it was the fact that subconsciously, she knew that she was trapped. Until someone would tug her free.

🎬 She has a bad habit of picking at her skin, and clawing at the wounds in her nails and nail beds.

🎬 This normally occurs when she’s stressed, taken from her undiagnosed anxiety, and the meds she so desperately needs, but will never have the chance of taking.

The snow haired boy was as beautiful as his mother yet felt like a beast. Filled to the brink with anger and despair, he resented everything about himself. He did not see the beauty in him, he believed he was damned. An abomination.

“I don’t deserve to be here. I’m nothing but a burden for my mother to look at.” He would tell himself all the time, hurting himself in the process. He never told anyone about the nights he spent in the tower cell his mother was constantly locked away in, and how he tried to save her from herself…he was too late, he wanted to join her in her lasting peace but remembered that he would ruin it for her.

“Mother I miss you, and I love you dearly..I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused you..” he says to himself whenever he visits the white rose gardens. The white rose just like her, no one meant more to Subaru than his mother so when she died it felt like half of him died with her, he knew she was unstable but she kept him sane and gave him stability.

For years the boy remained angry and upset with himself, blaming himself for being the way he was and everything that had happened to his mother.

“In the end I couldn’t protect her.”

An Azusa x shin ball dance 🥺

A Stare Well Known

Azushin Short Story

Also sorry this is really late, I’ve been busy with irl stuff so sorry if it's choppy towards the end with barely any character dialoge :(

Polished as the glassy floor and not dull enough like dimmed lights. The fog has lifted for once along a full moon and already a large amount of people flourished to the event.

Like always, Karlheinz’s balls were always packed and brewing with life, nothing from that ever changed. A lot of golds and silvers, black and white created the Royal theme of tonight, though it didn’t reach nighttime yet.

To this day, even through other social gatherings, it never settles comfortably in Azusa’s system. Even when being told otherwise, he ends up ditching or hiding away out of pure shyness. The rarity of heading home stoops so low knowing how Ruki is, but this hideout other than home was more calming.

Like a broken type of affection, the weeping garden in the back of Eden’s castle coats land larger than a football field, perhaps three of them. White and more white coats bushes as roses bloomed sadly, only white.

Droplets stain the solid colors of the garden as rain from earlier had now passed. So he sits, dangling both legs with a cute kick on the bench. A break is all Azusa needed, five minutes specifically. He admits, he’s bored by himself, but only till he caught on.

Sparkled barely, blue with silver blending with a proper fitting of an outfit, Shin winded up in the field of roses. The two easily managed to share a stare; It was awkward too, unreconstructed with what intentions were. The case everytime when Shin sees Azusa is normally to get far the hell away, but at an event held by a man considered God, it’s impossible to stage left.

How long was this eye contact gonna last? Pretty long before Azusa stood up and came over.

Reading a room is easy, therefore no hesitation of esculation was taken place. For limbs to be tangled in an embrace in a garden, then returning to the indoor party, and further up into an empty room of Eden's castle- Fate was already set. Refusal to stay longer was in Azusa's hands, but winded up catching Shin's interest at the last minute. It's as if he already knew.

Casually treating the bed like one at home, it's just the impure plus founder sharing this well hidden bond from others, including their siblings. Nothing extremer dared to happen since this is a place filled with many, many people, familiars too. Answers in knowing from Shin laid among Azusa's eyes; The stare well known to be left alone, least from a huge crowd.

Yuma x Female Reader Smut

Handcuffs, teasing, begging, vulgar language, oral, fingering

-------------------------------------------------

The sound of the handcuffs snapping onto the bed's headboard went straight to your core, intensifying the aching in between your legs. Yuma trailed his hand down the valley of your breasts and stomach, chuckling. "I like seeing ya all tied up, Sow." You giggled. "You see this sight often enough." He kissed your breast and you let out a sigh of pleasure. He lifted his head again and said, "I won't ever be able to get enough of ya." Despite the fact you and Yuma have been together so long, you felt a blush form on your cheeks and your body filled with warmth.

Yuma leaned down, pressing kiss after kiss on your breasts, trailing his tongue down your stomach. Reaching your core he flicked his tongue over your clit briefly. Your thighs jerked. He looked up at you and chuckled. "I can't get enough of your taste." "Taste me more, please." He grinned and obeyed, burying his face inside your thighs and began to eat you out. "Ohhhh...." you moaned, your legs already twitching at the delicious sensations his tongue gave you. "Mmm..." your legs jerked again and he held them down with his strong hands.

It felt amazing as his tongue stroked your folds expertly, loving every inch of you. He kissed the insides of your thigh and you giggled until he bit your flesh lightly and you yelled. He chuckled again. He pressed a kiss to your clit before circling his tongue with it. "Yuma!" You bucked your hips. "Fuck, I love your taste." "More." It was a demand, but your pleading tone took any force out of it. Nevertheless, Yuma complied with your wishes.

You felt yourself approaching release and you twisted and writhed on the bed, moaning as your body heated up and your sex pulsed. Normally you would've grabbed onto Yuma's hair, or maybe the bedsheets, but you were handcuffed to the bed and all you could do was thrash as your lover's tongue brought your closer to the edge. The inability to grab onto something was frustrating but it aroused you beyond words that you had to be entirely focused on the pleasure, with no way to alleviate your tension.

It built until you shattered, crying out. Yuma licked his lips. He kissed up your stomach and inserted one of his fingers. "Mm!" Yuma watched through half-lidded eyes as his finger pumped in and out of you. "Fuck, you're so goddamn wet." You giggled, even as the pleasure increased in intensity. "Well, you certainly made sure of that." You teased and Yuma grinned, still eyeing your womanhood. "Trust me, you were wet for me on your own, Sow." Heat flushed your cheeks.

Yuma climbed over you, naked, strong and tall. You admired his abs, his eyes, his broad shoulders and your toes curled in delight. "You like what you see, huh?" He asked in a deep voice. "Yeah." You breathed out the same time he kissed you. He settled in between your legs on his knees.

With a wicked grin, he began to rub his length against you, close enough to your entrance, but never penetrating you. "Yuma!" You whined in complaint. The aching down there was almost unbearable, you needed him to fill you. This time Yuma didn't cooperate. He kept rocking his hips, so close to your entrance, ghosting over it but never actually inserting himself. "Yuma!" You lifted your legs and wrapped them around his waist. He exhaled, definitely aroused by that. "Not yet, Sow." "Don't you want to be inside me?" You tried, making a pleading face and arching your back, making sure the movement would move your breasts. Yuma's eyes raked over you.

He stretched out, never breaking eye contact, guided himself to your entrance and slowly pushed in. Your jaw dropped and you couldn't help but moan as he filled you up. Yuma, too, couldn't hide his pleasure. His eyes closed and he let out a sexy groan. He filled you to the brim and began to thrust slowly. "Uhhh...Yuma..." you moaned. "Fuck." He breathed out and moaned your name, before dipping his head down and kissing you passionately. You kissed him back, whimpering against his mouth, which made him smile against yours.

He sped up a little and got off his forearms, holding himself up with his hands, his muscles flexing beautifully. "Fuck, you feel so goddamn good around my dick." You moaned in response, again your twisting was futile, the handcuffs making sure your wrists stayed put. Yuma got on his knees and wrapped his hands around your breasts. He went harder and faster and you kept crying out in ecstasy. He growled, fangs glinting. "Fuck, yeah, just like that. Take my cock inside you, Sow." Your legs fell open, now completely wide apart. And you bucked your hips to grind against him, loving as he rammed into you.

His shoulders tensed and his breathing quickened, you knew he was getting close, and so did he. He continued fondling your breasts with one hand and moved the other one down to flick your clit. The combination of his length pumping inside you and him circling your clit made you close to your release faster than normal. Yuma growled again before reaching releasing, cumming inside you and moaning loudly. You shattered as well. Yours lasted longer than his and his eyes closed as he enjoyed your walls clamping down on him. "Fuck..." he breathed out. "I love it when you cum on my dick." He caught his breath. "Feels so fuckin' good." He kissed you and you eagerly responded. He pulled out and stretched out next to you, wrapping in his arms and pressing a kiss to your neck. You smiled. "Yuma, didn't you forget something?" You nodded up to your arms. His gaze followed your nod. He looked back at you. "Nah."

"Elia! I've been looking for you. There's something we need to talk about. Our last conversation ended somewhere I didn't want it to, but I had no other choice."

"But please, just hear me out okay?"

The girl grabs your arm gently, trying to pull you away from any stray eyes. You both end up in the bathroom as she continues to ramble while simultaneously pulling you with her in a state of what seems like desperation.

Alright alright I'm listening.

And look I am sorry about our last chat. I didn't mean to come off as threatening or anything. I just hate people trying to trick or lie to me with false personas. So just ..... don't do that please.

I'd actually prefer being your friend.

Droplets of rain tapped against the window panes and quickly converged into small streams, drawing curved lines on the glass on their way down. The rain had started the day before yesterday and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Maybe that might have been why, by the time the oppressive humidity began to make everyone feel uneasy…

“Hey, Kitten. I need to talk to you. Do you have a minute?”

With a smile bright enough to wipe away any worries caused by the weather, Mukami Kou—the idol with a household name—approached Komori Yui in a friendly manner. His presence caused a stir among the other students around them.

Yui grabbed Kou by the sleeve of his uniform jacket and quietly uttered, “Kou, we’ll stand out if we talk here…”

“Alright!”

Yui was puzzled by Kou’s unusually good mood, but followed him to a spot that would keep them away from prying eyes.

“Kou… Did something happen?”

“I heard a very interesting rumour. I thought I’d ask you about it, too.”

“A rumour?”

“Yes! It’s a little strange for this time of year, but it’s about a ghost story. Apparently, most of the students and teachers are familiar with it. Have you heard about it?”

“No… What’s it about?”

As soon as he realised Yui was completely oblivious, Kou gleefully talked away.. 

“Apparently, when it’s very late on a night of endless rain, when most people have left the school… strange sounds start coming from one of the classrooms.” Kou lowered his voice in an attempt to stoke her fear. “Nobody knows exactly where the sounds are coming from. It could be an empty classroom, the art room… You can hear it from various places depending on the day.”

“And… it couldn’t just be a burglar?”

“That’s what I thought, too, but I haven’t heard anything about things going missing, and even if that were the case, wouldn’t the police have been involved already? There’s also rumours going around about it being the students’ own doing, but apparently there are scratch marks in the rooms where the sound came from. Like, in places higher up than the curtains, so people generally wouldn’t be able to reach that high.”

With the odds of it being a student prank getting smaller by the minute, Yui’s throat grew dry. She swallowed loudly.

There shouldn’t be any sounds coming from an unoccupied room. The first thing that came to Yui’s mind was an unscientific explanation—something she would rather not think about.

“So, you mean… it’s a ghost?”

“Yes, yes, exactly! People are saying it might be a ghost.”

“But couldn’t the sounds be coming from the building itself (1)? I heard that ‘strange sounds’ people hear inside their houses are usually just the rattling of the building.”

 “But that’s so boring, Kitten! Ghosts are way more interesting than rattling houses! Besides, people think it’s a ghost for good reason.”

“W-what reason…?!”

The way Kou purposefully explained it to her with such kindness, patience, and in such detail, made Yui shiver. A broad grin spread across the vampire’s face as he pulled Yui’s body closer while surveying their surroundings as if he was afraid of being caught, and started whispering into her ear.

“Some students have already snuck into the building at night as a test of courage, and apparently they saw dark shadows along with the strange sounds they heard. If it had been only one or two students spreading the rumour, it wouldn’t be a very credible story, but when so many people have had the exact same encounter, it’s difficult to still call it a trick of the mind, right? There’s also some students who claim they saw arms wrapped in bandages emerge from the darkness, at the exact timing that the lightning struck outside.”

“Oh…”

“Hm? What’s wrong, Kitten? You look a bit pale.”

“It’s because of your strange story…”

“Hehe! How cute. It’s going to be alright, Kitten. I’ll be by your side, after all.” Kou met Yui’s frightened eyes and shot her a sweet smile to put her at ease. “I’ll protect you. So… it has been a bit boring with all this rain lately. Shall we do some nightly exploration of the school for ourselves so we can figure out the truth behind the rumours?” 

“What?!”

“Come on, let’s go!”

“W-wait a minute! Where are we going?”

Kou, who would not have taken ‘no’ for an answer either way, grabbed Yui’s hand and hurried pulled her along, down the hall. He swiftly dodged the students who were already starting to head home at this hour.

“W-wait! Slow down…”

“But there’s no time like the present, right? Besides, if we don’t hurry, my fans will only try to pull me aside. Let’s go to the others quickly!”

Kou led her in the direction of a far-away third-year classroom.

When the two of them walked through the door, the other Mukami brothers were already there. Yuma was straddling a chair, Azusa lingered by the window, and Ruki stood leaning with his back against the wall, his arms crossed. 

“Hi, everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting. I brought our little Kitten!”

“You’re late, Kou. I was this close to goin’ home, even though you urged us to stay here ‘n wait.”

The discontent was plain on Yuma’s face. Kou muttered a half-serious apology to him and let go of Yui’s hand.

“Eve… did you run on your way here? You sound… out of breath…” Azusa tilted his head slightly to the side in concern for Yui.

“I’m okay, Azusa. Thank you.”

“Kou… If you need something from us, why gather us on campus?”

“Hehe. That’s because I need you all to be at school for this, ” Kou said, still beating around the bush.

Ruki glared daggers at his brother. Knowing he could not hold it off much longer, Kou decided to explain the situation.

“I was talking with Kitten about this earlier, but I heard an interesting story and I’d like you to know about it too! Have you heard the rumour that a ghost is haunting the school?”

“The one that’s making strange noises at night? I heard my classmates talkin’ ‘bout it.” Yuma clearly just wanted to know what mischief Kou was up to, making the blonde’s shoulders droop in disappointment.

“Oh, so you already know. Word certainly travels fast among the third-years.”

Ruki had a glaring suspicion about Kou’s intentions and decided to drive the point home before his brother could do it himself. “I suppose you weren’t going to ask us to look for the ghost with you, were you?”

“Hehe, bullseye!” Kou smiled broadly.

“Seriously? It’s just a rumour, though,” Yuma replied, sounding exasperated.

“How old are you? Don’t get so excited about this, Kou. Ghosts do not exist.” Ruki was referring to the fact that when someone dies and the moment their body perishes, a peculiar thing called the ‘soul’ perishes along with it. Ghosts were merely ridiculous fantasies; illusions invented by humans. Only ignorant children would be afraid of them… right?

However, Kou had already expected this reaction from Ruki and did not back down.

“Heh… I don’t think it’s good to decide that ghosts aren’t real without confirming anything ourselves. Right, Kitten?”

“Huh…? M-me?”

“Do you really believe this nonsense?” When Ruki turned to her, Yui instinctively straightened her spine.

“Not necessarily, but… It sounds a little scary, I think, but whether they’re actually real is another thing…”

“Kou, do you… really think the ghost… will appear? It might have just been… a trick of the mind, you know?”

“Of course I don’t believe the ghost actually exists.I don’t sense any other supernatural presences around here either, besides ourselves and the Sakamakis. Doesn’t that make you all the more interested in the hype around this ghost story?”

Ruki’s curiosity was piqued, if only a little, at Kou’s words. “Hm… You do have a point.”

It was easy to dismiss urban legends like this right away, but if there was a reality to this particular ghost story, that would change things.

“And what if people besides us are purposefully stirring up a ruckus at the academy? We can’t let that slide, right? So, I want to expose the truth behind these rumours! It won’t be fun if it’s just the four of us, though, so that’s why I brought Kitten with me.”

“I-I’m not going! Walking around the empty building at night sounds scary enough already, let alone when an actual ghost shows up…”

If the Mukami brothers could barely even make sense of the situation, didn’t that mean there was an actual chance a ghost was haunting the premises? When Yui thought of it like that, a chill ran down her spine.

“Heh, sounds fun!” Yuma put a hand on the back of the chair he’d been straddling and stood up with great vigour. “If she’s coming, I’m in, too!”

Yui was taken aback by his enthusiasm. “Yuma?!”

“I knew you’d come around, Yuma! Hey, Ruki. Please join us!”

“Alright. I do not care for ghosts, but I agree that we have to find out who’s causing all this trouble.”

“Right? Azusa, you’re coming too, aren’t you…? Azusa? Hello—?

“...”

Even as Kou’s eyes intently watched Azusa’s puzzled expression, the younger brother still didn’t answer. He raised a hand to his mouth as if in deep thought. Thinking it strange, Yui instinctively called out.

“Azusa?”

“Huh? Ah, I’m sorry… If you’re all going… then I will join you.”

“Great, that settles it! Let’s wait here for a bit until the school empties out.”

“H-hold on a second… Don’t I get a say in this?”

“Your opinion does not matter. Were you thinking of going home all by yourself, then?” Ruki said.

“Oh…” Met with four stares that left little room for protest, Yui reluctantly went along with their plans.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Several hours passed.

By the time all lights in the academy had been turned off and the emergency exit signs were the only source of light in the halls, the five began their search. The building had fallen completely silent. Only their footsteps and the distant sound of the rain outside could be heard.

Kou pulled Yui along by her hand and walked slightly ahead of the others.

“Hey, Kou… I don’t like going first.”

“Why?”

“Because it’ll be even scarier if something appears…”

“It’s okay, really! You can lag behind if you want, but something might creep up behind you.”

“L-like what?”

“Who knows? But I’m right in front of you and Ruki and the others are right behind you. Don’t you think this is the safest position for you to be in?

Though Kou encouraged Yui to move to whatever position she wanted, she felt unable to do so. She decided to quietly follow behind Kou. They had been walking around the school for a little while now, but had not noticed anything out of the ordinary yet. 

Fed up with their aimlessly walking around, Yuma began to complain. “Hey, Kou. Nothing’s happened so far.”

“You’re too impatient, Yuma. We haven’t even been walking around for that long.”

“I feel no other presences nearby, nor have I heard that particular ‘sound’ you were talking about. Do you think it’s wary of us?” Ruki whispered, frowning as he surveyed his surroundings.

“Hey… If this really is a ghost’s doing, what do we even do? It probably won’t worship us or anything…”

Ignoring Yui’s worries completely, Yuma clutched his stomach and could not keep from bursting into laughter. “Pff, haha! You dummy. Why’d it worship us?”

“Because—isn’t that what they say about ghosts? That they worship people?

“Then they’d only worship you.”

“What…?”

“They only worship people, right?”

Yui tilted her head to the side, not quite understanding what Yuma was saying right away, but Ruki filled her in.

“Because we are vampires, after all. Besides, I don’t understand why you would be afraid of something as abstract as ghosts.”

“But… You never know! They might worship vampires too!”

While Yui desperately clung to her theory, Azusa and Kou decided to rub salt in the wound. 

“I think… we’re stronger than ghosts, though...”

“I know, right? I think they’d be repulsed rather than worship us.”

“Ah…” With nobody agreeing with her, Yui felt her position becoming more and more vulnerable. On top of being forced into this situation, she was the only one who was actually scared. 

Kou watched her intently, an almost reproachful expression on his face. “Oh, this won’t do. Even if you pout at me that way, I’ll just think you’re cute. But hey, I’ll protect you whatever happens, so stay calm, alright?” He winked at her in a way only an experienced idol could.

When Yui thought about it, being surrounded by four vampires—former humans, but still—probably was the safest position for her to be in, oddly enough. There was no way vampires would lose to an intangible ghost.

However, precisely because they were dealing with something intangible made it difficult for Yui to suppress her nerves. She desperately fought to keep the fear from overtaking.

The five walked around for a little while longer, Yui securely in the middle, but nothing happened.

“This is weird… Maybe it really is wary of us, like Ruki said. I wonder if it doesn’t like being ganged up on by a large group of people.”

“How about we split up then?”

“Right! If we go in small groups, the ghost might be more motivated to come out.”

“What…?! I don’t like the idea of splitting up.”

“We’re not asking for your opinion. That said, you would be in trouble if we left you alone, so… Yuma?”

Yuma looked puzzled when Ruki called his name. “Huh? What, Ruki?”

“Keep her company. If one of us goes with her, we’ll be able to swiftly deal with any unforeseen situations.”

“Yeah, true… Alright, Kou. We’re switchin’.”

Kou complied with Yuma’s demand, though the displeasure was clear on his face. The blonde might have rebelled against this change if Yuma had been the one to ask, but Ruki’s orders, on the other hand, were simply to be followed.

“Ah, what a shame. I was looking forward to holding hands with Kitten for a little longer.”

Kou reluctantly let go of Yui’s hand and surrendered his spot to Yuma.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

After that, Yui and Yuma split up from the rest of the group and began exploring the school anew.

It’s so quiet when it’s just the two of us walking around… Not feeling brave enough to speak up, Yui kept quiet and followed Yuma. I hope we can meet up with the others soon… If the ghost comes out now, I wonder if we’ll make it to them if we run.

“Hey, Sow… Why’re you shufflin’ behind me the entire time? Go out in front.”

“What?! N-no! I can’t!”

“There ain’t no way in hell that ghost is real, so no need to be such a scaredy-cat. You’re only makin’ yourself look more like an idiot.”

“I-I don’t care if I look like an idiot…! Some things are meant to be feared!”

“Ha! There ya go again… If I wanna leave , I’ll leave!”  As if to get the irritation out of his system, Yuma banged his fist against the wall beside him. 

Yui’s eyes snapped shut for a brief moment, but she did not flinch when she returned Yuma’s gaze, his face suddenly much closer than before.

“But…”

“But what?”

“Don’t you think… if vampires exist, then ghosts might exist too?”

“Hm… Sounds pretty funny comin’ from you, but nah, they don’t exist.” One corner of Yuma’s mouth curved upwards into a mocking grin. He let out a laugh. He seemed pretty convinced that ghosts were not a thing of this world.

CLATTER—!

“...!”

A clattering sound suddenly came from one of the classrooms. It startled Yui, making her tremble. “That wasn’t… in my head, was it?”

A lick of ice-cold fear slid down Yui’s spine. She quickly hid behind Yuma.

“You… Why’re you hiding? You’ve got some guts usin’ me as a shield.”

“B-but…” She could not find the words to speak—she was simply too scared. She crouched in on herself behind Yuma in an effort to hide.

The sound seemed to have come from the empty, unused classroom near them. It was pitch-black. Nobody seemed to be inside.

“I’m gonna go look.”

“What?! W-wait, Yuma!”

Yuma ignored Yui’s pleas and opened the door to the classroom. He thoroughly inspected the room, but still, there was not a soul in sight. As though expecting someone to be hiding, Yuma set foot into the classroom.

“Y-Yuma, don’t! It’s dangerous!”

“Ha! You’re scared shitless, aren’t ya? Just wait here. I’ll only have a quick look inside.”

The only thing coming in from outside was the sound of the rain. Not even a sliver of moonlight fell into the room. The ominous darkness gradually swallowed Yuma’s form whole as he walked farther away.

Oh no… If something comes out at me, I’ll…

Yui’s heart hammered against her ribcage, and just when her eyes inadvertently fluttered closed—she felt something brushing up against her leg. Goosebumps rose on her skin. She couldn’t keep her voice from leaking.

“Eek!”

Yuma rushed back when he heard her cry out, but still found no traces of anything lurking in the shadows close to where Yui was standing, nor in the deserted classroom. 

“Damn, don’t scream like that! I thought somethin’ happened!” 

“B-but… something… touched my leg…”

“What?! What the hell was it?”

In the end, the two never figured out what it could have been. The sky, still clouded with heavy rain, slowly started to become brighter.

“Shit. It’s close to mornin’ already. Hey, Sow? We should get back to Ruki ‘n the others. We’re done for today.”

“For today? You don’t mean…” A heavy sense of dread fell upon Yui, but she did not need to finish her sentence. 

The anxious look on her face made Yuma’s lips curl up into a sadistic smile.

“We’ll be back for round two tomorrow.”

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The next night, Yui was accompanied by Azusa on their rounds through the school hallways. Yui kept a tight grip on Azusa’s left arm and had no intention of letting him go.

“Eve… If you hold on to me like that… it’s a bit difficult to move…”

“Oh! I-I’m sorry, Azusa! I’m still not quite used to this…”

“...”

“Azusa?”

“Ah… What is it…?”

Yui was even more unsettled by Azusa’s restlessness. He’s been lost in thought the entire time, she thought. 

“Hey, Azusa? Is something wrong…? You haven’t seen the… g-ghost, have you?”

“Huh? Oh, no… I haven’t.”

“Ah… That’s a relief.”

“Are you… really that scared? Then… here.”

“Huh…?”

Azusa came to a halt and pulled Yui into a hug with his other arm, gently patting her back as he whispered into her ear. “Eve… I’m here with you. Even if something comes after you… I’ll protect you. But… are you maybe worried… that it’s just me…?”

“No, not at all… Thank you. I think I might be a little less scared now.”

“I’m glad… to make myself useful.” Azusa smiled softly, but then his gaze quickly shifted to the window.

He really is worried about something… I wonder what’s gotten into him…

Once again, the night ended without them coming any closer to finding the source of the strange sound.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Along came the third night of exploring the academy.

Carefully calculating when the building would empty out, the five once again split up and made their rounds. The never-ending rain had abated into a drizzle for a brief moment, but before long, it was pouring once again. The weather showed no signs of letting up.

“It really won’t stop raining. It would be nice to be able to see the moon, though…”

The night sky was covered by heavy rain clouds. Yui had been looking out of the window while she was walking down the hall, but in the meantime, Ruki—who had been right next to her only a moment earlier—had already put several steps in between them. Yui half-ran to catch up to him.

“You seem awfully careless today. Have you already overcome your fear of ghosts?” 

“N-not exactly, but… This is the third day already, so it’s getting a little… Ah!”

Maybe Yui’s attention slipped because she was relieved to walk beside Ruki again, as she suddenly stumbled and nearly fell over. Ruki immediately extended his arms, swiftly catching Yui and keeping her from falling.

“T-thank you…”

“If you let down your guard like that, bad things will happen—like this, for example.”

“Huh…?”

The ominous tone of Ruki’s voice caught Yui’s attention. She tilted her face upwards to look at him.

Ruki looked pointedly somewhere behind her, nodding in the same direction as if to urge her to do the same. Yui’s hands were braced on his upper arms as he held her, and her grip only tightened at the thought of something being at her back.

“I-is something there?” 

Yui was hit by an indescribable wave of anxiety. Her breath involuntarily caught in her throat, but she bolstered her resolve and gingerly looked over her shoulder. 

There was nothing but the long, dark, gloomy hallway stretching out behind her.

“N-nothing’s there, right? Wait, were you… Huh…?”

“You said you’d gotten used to it, right? I figured I’d test you. It seems like you don’t have your fear under control just yet, though.”

“Ah…!”

Yui’s cheeks flushed bright red. Had Ruki really been toying with her, even though he knew she was scared?

“That’s not fair…! You can’t just play with me like that… I’ve gotten a little more used to walking through the dark hallways, but you know I’m scared of ghosts…!”

Yui crouched down on the ground, her face between her knees, both mortified and scared beyond her wits. Any regular male student might have been worried, might have tried to calm her down, but Ruki showed no signs of showing her such kindness.

“Don’t make a fuss. How long are you going to sit like that? If you don’t feel like moving, I’ll leave you here.” Quickly dismissing Yui’s worries, Ruki did not bother to cast her another glance and began walking away.

“Oh… W-wait up!”

Not knowing where to direct her fear and frustration with being ignored, Yui’s head was full of chaos. Still, she would not be able to bear being left alone like this, and so she hurried back to Ruki.

Yui felt herself grow stiff while she walked behind him. Just then, a strange sound reached her ears.

“...Did you hear that?”

“It came from that classroom. Do you want to check it out?”

It was a different sound from the one she had heard with Yuma the day before yesterday. This one clearly sounded like someone was rummaging around… and it kept going.

“Ruki…”

“There’s definitely someone here.”

Ruki opened the door to the classroom with great force.

The moonlight did not quite reach the room because of the heavy rain—it was darker than the hallway had been—and the unoccupied desks and chairs were nothing but eerie silhouettes. 

When Yui’s eyes had gotten used to the darkness, though, she saw someone standing there with her back to her—someone familiar. Recognition struck her.

“Huh… Azusa?” The words just slipped out.

At Yui’s surprised voice, Azusa slowly turned around to face them. He looked just as surprised to see them. “Eve… Ruki…” 

“Azusa? What are you doing here?” Ruki took a step forward and had barely finished speaking…

And then, it happened.

“Found you—!”

Yui looked in the direction of the voice reverberating through the hallway, she spotted Kou running towards them. Their eyes met. Kou raised his voice as if he’d known all along how this would end.

“Grab it, Kitten!”

“What?!”

Yui followed Kou’s finger pointing ahead. A small, black shadow darted out in front of him. Kou had clearly ordered her to catch it, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it right away. While she stood there hesitating for a moment, the black shadow collided with her chest on its own.

Out of sheer reflex, Yui wrapped her arms around it immediately. It felt heavier than she’d thought, and softer to the touch. The unexpected sensation almost made her drop it, but she regained her posture and held it tightly.

“Nice catch, Kitten!”

Kou was out of breath, having run at full speed, as he pointed at the black lump in Yui’s arms. “That’s… the cause… of the ghost story… the source of the sounds… is that cat.”

Yui suddenly realised she was holding a black cat. Its tail pointed upwards, the fur fluffed up as it eyed Kou suspiciously. In an effort to calm down the evidently upset cat, she gently stroked its back. “It’s okay… Don’t be scared…”

“Wow… Have you seen the way it’s staring at me?” Kou breathed. 

“Isn’t that because you were chasing it?”

“I had to! Of course it’s going to run if someone tries to catch it.”

“Hey, hey! What’s with all the—what the fuck! What’s that black thing?”

Yuma burst into the room after having heard the commotion. Yui had only just managed to calm down the cat a little, but in response to Yuma’s voice, the black cat’s tail fluffed up again.

“Whoa, that’s a pretty rough-lookin’ cat… But wait, what’s a cat doing on campus?”

A nod from Ruki confirmed his brother’s unspoken suspicions. “If this cat is the cause of the ghost story going around, I wonder how it managed to sneak into the academy and cause such an upheaval.”

If the cat had snuck in while the students and teachers were on campus, it could not have gone unnoticed. The fact that nobody was aware of a cat on campus must mean that it had snuck in sometime late at night, when the school was already empty.

However, that still begged the question how it came in. The campus was built in such a way that it seemed unlikely for the cat to have come inside easily. If that was the case, maybe someone had purposefully lured the cat inside and hidden it from everyone…

How did this little one even get here…? Yui was at a loss as she stared at the black ball of fur in her arms, but the only response she got from it was a loud meow.

Azusa, who had been quiet up until now, suddenly joined the conversation. “I’m sorry… Actually, this cat… is here because I was… looking after it…” He apologetically raised his right hand.

“Huh? Azusa, you’ve been taking care of this cat…?”

“Yeah… I’ll talk you through what happened…” Azusa began explaining the origins of the ghost story and how the cat had infiltrated the school. “About a month ago… I found this cat in the school courtyard, but…”

Azusa’s story went something like this: one day, he had found a weakened black kitten. He had given it something to eat and soon began to look after it. Even after it had mostly recovered, the heavy rain continued to fall, and Azusa had felt the need to keep checking in on it out of sheer worry. 

As he suspected, the cat had fallen ill again after a while. Azusa had pitied the little black cat and made sure to gently stroke it and talk to it. Eventually, he brought it to this classroom so he could take better care of it.

“Oh, Azusa, you’re too kind,” Kou said, carefully approaching the cat so as to not startle it, and petted it. The cat seemed to have gotten a little more used to him. It was more docile now, allowing Kou’s gentle touch.

“That’s not… true… In the end, I only… ended up scaring the cat…”

“What do you mean?”

“When the cat became healthier… I got a little careless… After it escaped from this classroom where I’d been taking care of it… I lost track of where it went…”

“So that means this cat roamed the school at night, and the kids mistook the sounds it made for a ghost… and that led to the ghost story?”

Azusa nodded in response to Yuma’s question. “I think those sounds… must have been the cat running away or playing around… and when I couldn’t find it for a while… it must have been hiding somewhere… because it was scared…”

“Yeah, that’s fair… It’s pretty scary to be chased around, after all.”

Kou nodded exaggeratedly, but the brothers’ reactions were pretty mild overall, as though these kinds of things happened on the regular. Yui thought it strange, but tried to gloss over it by shooting Azusa one more question.

“The students were talking about an ‘arm wrapped in bandages’ poking out from the darkness… So that was…”

“Yeah… They must have seen… me. As soon as I heard the rumours about the ghost… and knowing about the cat, it just clicked… so, lately… I’ve been looking for it by myself…”

“Ha… so that’s it. That ghost story was brought to life just ‘cause of Azusa and this black cat.”

“Good grief… You certainly caused trouble.”

With all questions answered, Yuma and Ruki looked even more exasperated than before.

“Azusa… Of all places to take care of a cat, you should not have done it at school. If you’d just taken it home, it wouldn’t have caused such a stir.” (2)

“I thought it might… bother you…”

“Well, that’s Azusa for you. But this wouldn’t have inconvenienced us at all! We’re brothers, right?” Kou said light-heartedly in an effort to cheer up Azusa, whose eyes were downcast.

“Of course. Don’t be so reserved, Azusa.”

Touched by the kindness of his brothers, Azusa smiled cheerily. “Yeah… Thank you, all of you…”

“So, uh… What do we do with the cat?” When Yui handed the cat over to Azusa, it began loudly purring in his arms.

“How about we bring it home with us?”

“I don’t mind either.”

The cat could suffer a grim fate if we leave it here like this and someone else finds it… What if it becomes weak again? What if it dies?

“Ruki… Would it be alright if we took it home?”

Everyone’s eyes naturally shifted to Ruki.

“We can’t decide that so easily. If the cat belongs to someone who lives somewhere around the campus, shouldn’t we return it to its home? Don’t they say that dogs tend to be attached to their masters, and cats are attached to their homes?”

Ruki had a point, but Kou was not yet convinced, especially seeing how Azusa felt for the cat he’d been taking care of for so long. “But look how attached it is to Azusa…”

“Thank you, Kou… I’m alright… The cat’s happiness is… the most important, after all…”

“Well, if Azusa’s fine with it, then I’m fine with it… Ah, I’m so tired from chasing the cat. Hey, Kitten. Can I lay my head in your lap (3) when we get home?”

“What?!”

The subject of the conversation shifted from the cat to something else so quickly that it almost gave Yui whiplash. 

When Yuma joined in as well, it became even more confusing. “Hey, Kou. You’re not the only one who’s tired! You don’t get to keep all the fun for yourself.”

“But I worked really hard, you know? Don’t you think I deserve to ask for a small reward?”

“I don’t. I ran pretty damn hard myself! Hell, I was the only one who actually ran.”

“What? How do you know? I definitely ran the hardest!”

“Nah, I did!”

“I’m telling you, I did!”

Kou and Yuma’s bickering escalated quickly, neither of them realising their fight was getting farther and farther away from the issue at hand.

“Christ, this is not worth fighting over.”

“But… it’s kind of fun, isn’t it?”

Ruki averted his eyes, clearly fed up with his brothers’ antics, while Azusa warmly watched over the two.

It would be nice if they forgot about the laying–his-head-in-my-lap thing, too… Yui thought. When her gaze flicked to the window, she noticed that the rain that had plagued the city, pouring incessantly for days on end, had let up.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

A little while later, the black cat left the campus, and the ghost story that had haunted the academy quickly receded into the students’ and teachers’ memories.

THE END

家鳴（やな）り：Lit. the ‘rattling of a house,’ meaning things like creaking windows, the air vents, the sounds you sometimes hear when the walls or window panes expand due to moisture or heat, things like that.

Not a translation note but Ruki, sir, with your history of ‘taking care’ of cats, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea…

膝枕（ひざまくら）: Lit. ‘knee/lap pillow,’ meaning to use someone’s lap as a pillow, laying your head in someone’s lap.

Diabolik Lovers More, Blood Vol.3 Mukami Ruki Stellaworth Tokuten Bromide & Short Story Paper

Originally, these were tokutens you'd get for buying Ruki's CD through the Stellaworth store. Nowadays you might find them sold at flea markets or second hand stores. The story is written from Ruki's POV, and takes place right after the ending of his CD, with him and Yui still on the rooftop.

Enjoy the angst (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)d
