Diabolik Lovers DARK FATE ー Kou Ecstasy [08]

ー The scene starts in the storage room of Banmaden

Yui: ( What now...? There’s the two Founders here in the castle, and outside there’s a Vampire Hunter waiting for us. )

( I’m worried whether Yuma-kun and Azusa-kun are safe as well...Ruki-kun as well. )

( We haven’t seen him since we left the manor but to think that he would send a Vampire Hunter after Kou-kun...I want to believe that’s a mistake. )

Kou: ...Let’s leave this place.

Yui: But, Kou-kun...I’m sure the Hunter is still looking for you. It’s dangerous. 

Kou: Yeah, we might get chased again. ...However, we have to hurry.

He talked about killing Karlheinz-sama...If worse comes to worst, the Demon World could be in huge trouble. 

I have to inform him sooner rather than later. 

Yui: ( I do agree that it’s very likely we’ll eventually get caught if we simply stay put here... )

( I doubt we can fool those Founders forever. We have to get in touch with someone before it’s too late. )

Yeah...I understand. Let’s get out. 

Kou: ...Will you come with me? 

Yui: Of course I will. I told you that I’d stay with you forever, right?

Besides, I feel the safest by your side. 

Kou: ...Right. I’ll definitely protect you, Yui. 

Yui: I trust you. Also...I will keep you safe as well. So let’s push through together, okay?

Kou: Yeah...Thanks. 

ー The scene shifts to the entrance hall

Kou: ーー Awesome, nobody’s around. Let’s go. 

ー They leave the manor

Yui: ( Thank god. We safely made it outside...! )

Kou: Let’s head back to the forest with haste. 

???: I don’t think so. (1)

Kou: ...!

ー Shin walks up to them

Shin: Hey! It’s been a while! You seem to be doing pretty okay. 

Yui: Oh no...!

Shin: You seriously thought you could trick me with that pathetic attempt at hiding? Hehe. 

*WOOSH*

Kou: ーー! Where did he g...

Shin: Where are you looking? 

*THUD*

Kou: Guah...!

*Thud*

Yui: Kou-kun!! ーー Kyah!

Shin: Nii-san is asleep inside, so keep quiet. 

Yui: ( My arms...He has them restrained behind my back, I can’t move at all...! )

Kou: Fuck...!!

Shin: Woah there, not another step! Not my problem if this chick ends up ripped apart. 

ー Shin tightens his grip

Yui: Guh...!

Kou: ...!

Shin: But well, you guys really showed up at the perfect time. I’ll give you props for that. 

I’m grateful, honestly. I couldn’t be any happier!

*THUD*

Kou: Guh, hah...!

Yui: Kou-kun!!

Shin: Can you tell how grateful I am?

Kou: Shit...!

Shin: Hehe. Oh come on, don’t be modest! Let me show you some more! Here!

*THUD THUD*

Kou: Gah...Ah, aah!

Shin: Haha! Nice face you’ve got there. You’re more of a man than I thought. 

Kou: Uu, guh...!

Selection

→ Don’t be so cruel!

Yui: Don’t be so cruel! Stop...!

Shin: ...Your whining is so annoying. Were you never taught how to ask someone a favor? 

For one, are you in any position to say that? 

Yui: Eh...?

Shin: This guy has chosen not to fight back. Isn’t he doing all of this for your sake? 

Yui: W-Well...

→ Stop, I’m begging you! (♡)

Yui: Stop, I’m begging you. You’ll kill Kou-kun at this rate...!

Shin: Who cares if one Vampire bites the dust? 

Yui: No way...

Shin: Or maybe you’ll get down on your knees for me? 

Yui: ...I’ll get down on my knees as many times as I need to if that’ll make you stop. 

Shin: Woah, heavy shit! (2) You’re making me gag.

Yui: ( I don’t care what he says about me...As long as I can save Kou-kun. )

Shin: But sure. If you promise you’ll become mine, I guess I can let him go. 

Yui: ( Who knows what he’ll do once he gets his hands on me...But still... )

If I come with you...Will you stop beating up Kou-kun? 

Shin: Yeah, promised. 

Kou: Stop...! Cut it out!

*THUD*

Kou: Gah, guh...!

ー Kou collapses

Yui: Kou-kun...Kou-kun!!

Shin: Come on, make your decision. 

Yui: Okay...I’ll do what you say! Take me anywhere you want!

So please, just stop!!

Shin: ...Sure. 

Yui: ( We can’t meet our ends here. As long as we’re alive, there’s still hope...So... )

*Rustle*

Shin: Well then. 

Yui: W...What are you doing? Let go of Kou-kun!

Shin: What’s the problem? Just like I promised, I’m not punching or kicking him, right?

Yui: Dragging him along like that...Where are you taking him?

Shin: Just up ahead. Now just follow along as well. 

Yui: Follow...?

( But there’s nothing there...? Only a cliff. )

Shin: You’re a human, right? Did you not have any parents growing up?

Yui: Eh...?

Shin: Did your mama never tell you to clean up after playing?

Yui: What are you talking about...!? Wait, stop...!

There’s a cliff over there...!!

Shin: I have to clean up my own mess, right? 

*THUD*

Yui: ...!!

No...! Kou-kun, Kou-kun...!

Shin: Ahー What a great feeling! That annoying piece of garbage is finally out of the way!

Yui: How could you...!! You’ve gone too far...!

Shin: Haha...! You’re quite nice! I’m really digging your current expression. 

Way better than when you act all docile. 

ー Shin steps closer

*Thud*

Yui: ...!

Shin: Maybe I should have given that guy a little show while he was still conscious. Of how I’ll make you mine. 

Yui: Ah...No...! It hurts, stop...!

Shin: Nn...Nn...Nnh.

Yui: ( Oh no...His fangs keep on sinking in...deeply. )

( If he sucks my blood so vigorously, I’ll...! )

Shin: Phew, nn...Haah. Your blood’s still tainted...But oh well. 

I’ll make sure to give you the full treatment. You’ve become mine after all...!

Yui: N-Nooooooo...!!

Monologue

Everything is being engulfed in darkness...

It only took a split second. 

Completely painless, the darkness simply,

descended (押し寄せて) upon us. 

...Where exactly did it go wrong (間違っていた)? 

I can’t see a light.

I can’t see a path.

Not here...not anywhere. 

ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Translation notes

(1) Literally he says ‘That would be troublesome/bad.’

(2) With ‘heavy’, he is most likely referring to the way Yui is so utterly devoted to Kou and would do anything to save him.

Haikyuu characters catching their s/o coughing so hard it hurt their chest

Warnings: excessive coughing, cursing in Bokuto’s part,

Characters: Kuroo, Bokuto, gn!reader

Genre: fluff, angst to fluff in Bokuto’s part, comfort

a/n: Hi everyone, I’m Umi. This is my first work so please bear with me, hope you enjoy this! Oh and please tell me if I missed to put things in the warnings.

Kuroo Tetsurou

· You packed your things in your bag as soon as the school bell rang

· You made your way down the stairs and to the lockers to collect your things

· It was pouring outside but you forgot to bring your umbrella

· Your boyfriend, Kuroo was at volleyball practice and you did not want to disturb him so you opted to run in the rain until you reach your home

· You reached your apartment and took a shower so that you won’t get sick from being wet due to the rain and went to sleep immediately

You wake up the next day with a massive headache and an itchy throat. You sit up from your bed as you cough, and text your best friend that you won’t be able to go to school. “Must’ve gotten sick due to the rain yesterday” you mumbled. You went to grab some medicine to relieve your headache and went back to bed.

Meanwhile, Kuroo wondered why he didn’t see you in school the whole day so after classes he asked your best friend slash classmate as to why you were nowhere to be found. Your best friend told him that you weren’t feeling great because you ran home while it was raining cats and dogs yesterday. Hearing that, Kuroo ran towards your apartment while texting Kenma that he was going to miss practice.

Kuroo arrived at your apartment out of breath, he reached for the flower pot near your door remembering the secret compartment under it where you keep your key and opened the door. He took off his shoes and left his bag on your couch and silently made his way to your room. You were awake by the time Kuroo entered your house. You suddenly felt a massive itch in your throat so you coughed so hard that your chest started to hurt. Kuroo didn’t miss your coughing fit and rushed to enter your room only to find you coughing so hard while clutching your chest with beads of tears in your eyes. He hurriedly goes to your bed and sits near you, holding you near him as he runs his hand up and down your back hoping to alleviate the pain.

“i-it hurts so bad Tetsu” you whimpered in his embrace as you continue to cough in his arms

“I know baby, hang in there. I got you, I got you.” he responded as he continued to rub your back hoping the coughing would stop.

You continued to cough for a minute until the itch went away, thanking Kuroo as you sniffle.

“Tetsu?”

“Yes kitten?” he responded

“Not to be rude but don’t you have practice today?” you asked him

“I skipped because you weren’t in school. I asked your best friend and they told me you ran in the rain yesterday so I went here to check if you’re okay. Lo and behold, you were not okay.” He explained as he hugged you closer to him.

“Thank you Tetsu, for being here with me. ‘M sorry I didn’t tell you I wasn’t feeling well.” You told him weakly.

“It’s alright kitten, what matters is that I’m here and I’m going to help you be better ‘kay?”

“Okay Tetsu, I love you.” You confessed.

“I love you too kitten, more than the number of stars and planets combined. Now, drink some medicine for your cough okay?” He replied as he hands you a cough medicine which you immediately accept knowing that he won’t rest until you take the medicine.

Bokuto Koutaro

· You don’t even know why the fight blew out of proportion

· You know that you fought because of an umbrella

· A small matter that could be easily solved but here you are with your boyfriend Bokuto, fighting because you left your umbrella home

“Why the hell would I lend you my umbrella? Weren’t you always perfect!? You never forget anything, and even boss me around and remind me the mistakes I made!?” Bokuto shouted at you as you try to catch up to him with big strides towards the gym.

“I can forget things too, Kou. I am afterall, a fucking human being who can make mistakes!” you snapped at him for being so unreasonable.

“What about me?! I’m also human, so why do nit-pick every mistake I made!? I don’t fucking need you to mention every single thing that irked you! I am not a fucking idiot and I have a fucking brain that I can use! If you can’t accept that then get the hell away from me you fucking control-freak, don’t you dare talk to me.” he stated while trying to put some distance between you.

Control-freak. You haven’t heard that word for a very long time. The last time that word was used against you was when your ex broke up with you. You were too shocked to hear that from your boyfriend that you stood there motionless. You looked back to the moments you spent with your boyfriend and racked your brain to think if you ever pushed him too much that you come off as a control-freak.

You walked home as it rained on you, numb to the cold as you remember the memories you’ve had with Bokuto. You couldn’t remember a single moment where you pushed Bokuto too far, you only reminded him about the things that he could forget and told him some things that was not agreeable with you but you did not command him to follow you or anything. You reach your apartment soaking wet but that did not mind you, not one bit. The word your boyfriend used lingered, mind racing at the possibilities that might happen after that day.

Will he come here and talk things out?

Will he avoid me from now on?

Does he still love me?

Will he break up with me?

Your thoughts scared you so you just hopped in the shower and went to bed, wishing for the events that occurred to be a dream.

Akaashi witnessed the bickering that happened while he was on his way to the school gym. He saw how hurt you were and how you walked away, so he made sure to talk to Bokuto about this matter after practice. A few hours of practice went by and he approached Bokuto about the matter and after what seemed like forever, he managed to convince the captain to visit the apartment of his s/o. It was still pouring when they exited the gym so Bokuto whipped out the object of your fight, an umbrella.

While walking towards the direction of your home, he realized that the fight was pretty petty because of a simple umbrella. He realized that he shouldn’t have blown things out of proportion. He was coming from a place of insecurity since he was making simple mistakes often and you were always able to witness it so he was pretty embarrassed and insecure since you almost never make a mistake and it made him seem unreliable. Like how he used salt instead of sugar when the both of you were baking in your kitchen so the end product was absolutely salty.

He made a mental note to apologize to you when he reaches your house and make it up to you. After a few turns, he finally made it to your apartment. He brings out the spare key to your house which you gave him.

He takes off his shoes as he enters and goes straight to your room. He practiced how he was going to apologize to you as the distance between him and your door decreased. Mustering up the courage to face you and apologize, he finally opened the door.

He imagined every possible situation he could when he sees you while he was on his way walking to your apartment, but he did not picture you on the floor clutching your chest as you cough excessively. He swore his heart stopped when he saw you, but immediately snapped back and rushed to your side. He rubbed your back trying to ease the pain and hopes that it would make you stop coughing. You grabbed his shirt tightly as the pain you feel remain. Bokuto shushes you as you cried due to the pain, he hoped that it was him instead of you that was in pain.

“Kou, i-it hurts. H-help me, please.” You plead between your sobs as you grip his shirt tighter while trying to pull him closer to you.

“I’m here baby, I’m here. I’ll help you, shhhhh don’t cry angel.” He states as he alternates his actions from rubbing your back to patting it hoping that it would comfort you.

After a few minutes, your coughs died down. You were both drowned in silence that the only sounds you can hear were each other’s breathing and the sound of each other’s heartbeat.

“I’m so sorry baby, for what happened earlier.” Bokuto started.

“I know that what I said hurt you and that I was wrong for saying those things to you. You are not a control-freak. I know that you are just looking out for me because I can be forgetful sometimes. You don’t nit-pick the things that I do, I know that you just say honest facts to help me improve and so that I would not make the same mistakes twice. You are so thoughtful and you always look out for me and I love you for that.” He explains to you as you stay still in his embrace.

“I’m sorry too Kou, for snapping at you and making the argument blow up.” You answered.

“I love you so much angel.”

“I love you too, Kou.”

What are your favorte jshk fanfics? also where do you like reading them the most?

Hi Anon!!! today is the day I can finally answer this question😈 ahaha you know how much I enjoy making fic recs so 👀 Let’s go!!!

To answer your second question first, I like reading them on AO3 the most! Mostly because I get almost unlimited number of characters to rant in the comment section........... 😆but also the tagging system is very helpful.

Okay, now to the fun part of this ask😏

You said JSHK, but I mostly read Hananene ones so all of my favs include that pairing... as  I already did a fic rec here of my favs, this list will continue that one, so please check that one first hehe ((I apologize in advance..., I would love for people to recommend me some mitsukou ones tbh... I’m really lost when it comes to other pairings orz)) 

If I’m completely honest with you anon-san, my favorite JSHK fic right now is the one Roxanne ( @istoleyourboat )  wrote based of my art and her snippet:

Star-Crossed and Falling- Where Stars Go to Die by lilaflo

Hanako is Princess Nene’s personal knight 👀. A tale of forbidden love. They slowly fall in love as they exchange a series of gifts, one that includes a pair of matching earrings that remind them of their love when they’re apart. Also, jelly Hanako of Nene’s suitors😏... Oh, but nothing lasts forever and those sweet moments will come to an end when they have to face their cruel reality, in this world, they don’t get to choose neither their battles or the ones they love.

Now more of Roxanne, because I seriously enjoy her work so much (I’m sure everyone knows by now lmao sdkj) 

Night of the Phantom King by lilaflo 

This one is a spooky one. Nene’s regret for never realizing who she truly loves takes her to mourn her deceased friend Amane and cry on his grave in a Halloween night, then suddenly the Phantom King comes to take her away👀 & he looks suspiciously familiar... Beautiful world building btw, also the ending is just, excellent. 

12 Year Romance by lilaflo

Amane meets Nene at the Tanabata festival, she’s older than him, but he falls for her instantly, fast forward, Amane is now in middle school, he’s a troublemaker, & gets constantly into fights, but he swears the new school nurse looks familiar... he then realizes it’s her and thinks it must be fate!!!... This one hits close to home bc I’ve been in this situation irl, so I can confirm all of Nene’s struggles are real (and ofc how a love with an age gap should be handled the correct way, this fic really teaches you many life lessons hahaha) 

took a sip then another sip, then you turned and said to me by chivalrousamour 

This autor has a bunch of good JSHK fics!! I recommend you check their AO3 out, bec you may find something you like for sure! But, this is my absolute fav from them. Nene is a mangaka, celebrating the finishing of her long serialized manga, while Amane is a delivery boy who happens to find her in a very questionable state in her house👀 (it’s all family friendly ofc, anon, I’m not a slimy pervert like some ghost boy)

Maid for Each Other by corologs ( @corologs )

Courtney has this amazing College AU collection series that I encourage you to check out!!! But Maid for each other is my fav!!! So it’s the Yugi twins birthday, and it’s Tsukasa’s turn to choose where they go to celebrate it... you can already tell where this is going... (let the chaos begin) & as the title said, it involves maids!!! (it has Kaicho wa maid sama vibes if you liked that anime~~)

If I Could Tell Her by corologs

What if the picture perfect arc plan was successful??? Well, this fic explores this idea, and it’s very interesting to read. I like how Amane and Hanako are two separate people here.

the horizon tries but it’s just not as kind on the eyes by sincerelyand ( @sunlightinourheadlights ) 

(Oh my sweet Karen, she writes such good fics, so go check her AO3 out as well!!) Amane and Yashiro are friends that share an apartment (& they were roommates-- OMG they were roommates), even if Amane has its complains, because Nene can be a handful sometimes (and in denial of her true feelings as always, are we even surprised at this point?) he loves her dearly anyways😭.

for real, this time by sourlemoncandy  ( @sour-lemon-candy )

Did somebody say fake dating AU?????? Because hell yeah I did asajj I loved reading this so much!! Nene and Amane are childhood friends, and Nene overhears some girls talking about Amane and how one of them plans to ask him out... but she senses these girls are up to no good so she... well, you gotta read it to find out more~~ it’s no fun If I tell ya everything hehe... so go go go!!

lemon cream by sourlemoncandy

Amane and Nene, just two good friends having a road trip and sharing donuts... what could go wrong??  😏 seriously, I loved this fic so much!! Instant fav! Also makes me wanna try some good sweet donuts...

Trip Down Memory Lane by insipidenvy ( @insipidenvy )

This fic is so sweet. I have such a huge attachment to it, because I read it when I really needed some fluff in my life hahaha. It’s sort of a collection of memories between Amane and Yashiro’s relationship over the years. So heartwarming... if you need the fluffs you’ll enjoy this very much!!

The Radish Princess and the Toilet Prince by insipidenvy

This is my favorite fic from insipidenvy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know how I am a slut for Royalty AUs so that’s why!!!!! Also Toilet Prince!! hahahaha such a good nickname lmao. I love how they bond over their insecurities, it’s very relatable tbh. 

Between Wind and Water by WingSongHalo  ( @wingsonghalo )

My beautiful Wing always delivering the good Hananene content, as she should!! This fic is so fun to read!! I laughed so hard at Nene and Hanako being awkward with each other!!! So you know how Hanako is super clingy with Nene, he’s always touching & hugging her, but this time something weird happens and he’s so distant~~ Nene doesn’t want to admit it at first, but she misses his clingy ghost boy~~ you’ll have a good time reading this for sure!  

The Monster's Bride by Hammsters ( @uglierdaikon )

Have you heard about the myth of Cupid and Psyche? Well this fic rewrites it in a very Hananene way <3 hehe I loved it so much (as I’m a huge fan of mythology~) To sum it up, Nene is fated to marry a monster that lives in the mountains so she’s devastated... to her surprise, her husband is far from what she expected... she only had one rule to obey and well... we all know how reckless Nene is so... you go find out what happens next now!! hehehe

Morning Reflections by FalalalaLa  ( @miss-sternennacht )

So you’ve heard of Hanako watching Nene sleep, but what about Nene watching Amane sleep???!! this fic offers you this and so much more fluff <3 Also Nene remembering how they met and how their relationship evolved during the years, aww <3 

Cursed Coin by DaikonSenpai  ( @daikonsenpai )

There’s a school dance, Yashiro’s supposed to be dancing with Kou (since she can’t go with Hanako, which causes him to be jelly~~ and bitter), but she loses a coin Aoi gave her for good luck so she goes out and searches for it on the last place she saw it, the school fountain. Suddenly Hanako spots her, what’s she doing outside??? is she drunk or something?? what happens next you may find out when you read it~~~

Between Love and Hope by Baronesscmd (SweeterThanYourDarkestSin) ( @baronesscmd )

Oh to be Nene and get to sleep between the Yugi twins... God really has favorites uh... ISTG, this collection of fics is so cute. I love how Nene loves the twins so much in this AU, they have their little cute family. She ofc is in love with Amane, but their relationship with Tsukasa is so tender... it’s mostly this trio having fluffy moments together to heal your soul... if you need some, you’ll get it here for sure hahaha. 

Ghost of You (And All the Futures We've Forgotten) by Indigo_Floof  milkteamoon  ( @indigosienna , @spades-queen )

So anon you may have been wondering, well this bitch likes fluff only???? how about some angst for a change, uh? DAMN, OKAY THEN, here you have some angst to rip your soul out and wish you never sent me this ask in the 1st place, bec of the emotional damage this fic will leave you sdajjsa, also if you liked “Erased”, you’ll love this fic too! 

Hanako of the Opera by zxrstan

Finally, but not less important, me being annoying about Hanako of the Opera & POTO AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! This fic is based of the AU Aidairo created mostly, it’s really fun to read if you didn’t get much of what was happening during the Hanako of the Opera event, it has a nice ending also! very satisfying I must say. 

AAAAND THIS IS THE END OF MY ALL TIME FAV LIST OMG;;;; Kudos for me for searching through all my damn AO3 and Google Chrome history (from both my PC and phone, since I am a FOOL and forgot my AO3 password so I read a lot of these in the past as a guest before recovering my password LMAO, please be patient with me omg, and also if you see me bookmarking them now, you know why 😭) 

Kudos to all of my writer homies as well, I love and appreciate all of you so much!! you have no idea! 💖

I hope you find this list useful, anon!! Thank you for sending me this ask and have a wonderful day! 

Ps. Please everyone feel free to add more fics to this list if you want! this is all my personal picks, but I’m aware there are a lot more fics that I haven’t read and deserve as much recognition as the ones I listed!

[sol-luminosus]

Same verse as that of ‘Creep’. Happening first chronologically before they ended up on the hallway. Only that this is a Hananene version.

A look into Amane’s own point of view of love.

Title: Lego House

Fandom: Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun

Pairing: Hananene

Genre: Romance/Angst

Rating: T

Chapters: 1 (One-shot)

Summary: And out of all these things I’ve done, I will love you better now.

Yugi Amane was captivated.

It coiled and coiled and turned in the very expanse of his chest, gripping his heart so hard and so intently that he was positive his chest would burst into a thousand pieces at any given minute.

 Nene was gazing at him questioningly, tilting her head of glittering silver locks so a few strands would cascade and slightly obscure her face as it waterfalled and framed the edge of her cheek.

He’d resisted the urge to tuck the stray pieces at the back of her ear.

Just by a moment’s brave surge of will to control himself.

Amane simply answered her concerned expression and previous barrage of questions about his well-being with a gentle smile, hoping that his beguiling expression would be enough to ease the worries in her mind.

He could tell however, that his strained effort had failed, given by the way her brows had furrowed further in a mixture of what seemed to be annoyance and worry from having something clearly hidden from her.

Indeed, the eyes were windows to the soul.

His in that very moment, must have been filled with desperation and longing. Perhaps at least surely, only those two emotions had leaked out.

She couldn’t have seen it, he was positive.

He’d never let her see it.

The clear and vulnerable emotion of love he’d tried so hard to will down and forever entomb in the very depths of his heart. It screamed so deafeningly, almost numbing his senses at times and making him forget of the actuality of things.

That he was dead and Nene wasn’t.

That his future was long gone with his wishes to remain rooted to where he is now as the only thing he should cling to,

That he had let go of his dreams to fly to the moon a long time ago.

A few decades which oddly, seemed to span for as long as an entire lifetime.

That at the very least, he knew he had the power to alter Nene’s fate.

So that he won’t drag her to the same empty abyss that he had long accepted to be irrevocably submerged in until the day he’d received his judgement.

This journey to redemption was and his alone. It will and would have nothing to do with her.

For a moment, he was sure his heart had swayed. When she’d regarded him with those iron-willed gems for eyes expressing her desire to live her life the way she wanted with a lifespan that could barely be a fistful, Amane just couldn’t seem to peel his eyes away from her. She’d called out to him—reached out with those two hands clasped together as if in a fervent prayer.

The same position as she had back when she’d first summoned him in the bathroom stall.

And all the while, although it was her own wish that should have nothing to do with him, she’d undauntedly declared that she would no matter what, journey to the moon together with him.

He knew he’d seen them before. On that very night however, they’ve shone and glimmered much more blindingly than they’ve ever before. The stars in her eyes had enthralled and bewitched him so that at that moment, he was certain he’d forgotten about anything else for a split second.

That he wasn’t the infamous Honorable No. 7 called Hanako-san.

That he was simply a child burdened with a sacrifice far too heavy for him to carry than what his small shoulders could have handled.

That he was just Yugi Amane, a socially awkward teenager who was in pieces and had eyes which reflected an unsettling amount of wisdom for his age.

And she was just Yashiro Nene, a girl with her head up in the clouds in search for dreams of true love and a promising long life ahead.

But he’d only forgotten for a split second.

How he’d wished, that he could’ve told her with all the honesty and transparency that his resigned heart could offer, that he was content enough with seeing the entire universe in the depths of those two luminous, ruby eyes.

Those very eyes he’d come to love ever since he was just at the tender age of nine all those years ago in that festival.

“Hanako-kun, what’s with you today? You keep spacing out for no reason and there’s clearly something wrong. I’m not going to stop prying unless you tell me—“

The sudden boisterous noise of the bathroom door swinging open and slamming on the wooden wall had both of them jumping out from their positions.

“Oi, Hanako! This is bad. Nii-san is out on a rampage right now because the mokke are running wild in the student council office. He’s talking about ‘exterminating all spirits’. What if he goes after you during his crazy fit?”

The golden specks in Amane’s eyes had turned dark with mischief, hovering over to the loud intruder in the name of Kou with a teasing expression and fingers touching his lips in a bid of mockery.

“Oh, what’s this? You’re suddenly so worried about me? Could it be? Are you in love with me?”

The blonde haired boy had reddened a dusty shade of pink from both shock and embarrassment, before the bellow of his voice had come booming in a strong effort of denial. “I am not, you crazy apparition! Maybe my brother’s already tried smacking you before I came here that’s why there’s suddenly something wrong with your head. In the first place the one I love is sen—“

His sentence had been cut off none too curtly, with an audible slap of skin ringing through the four corners of the room from having a palm slammed flatly over Kou’s mouth, effectively silencing him down. The leader of the School Wonders could barely show any sense of sympathy for the exorcist’s angered protests from the evident pain of having his teeth graze and split the skin of his lips.

“Oh, look at the time. Shouldn’t we hurry over to this mokke massacre you were talking about?” Amane had animatedly declared, glancing over to the wrist of his free arm where a nonexistent watch was strapped.

Kou had struggled to wheel away the hand clasped so tightly over his face. If he’d had the sense to be as livid as his brother would be in situations like these, then he’d be absolutely convinced that Amane had actually tried to suffocate him just to get him to stop talking, with the sheer amount of pressure he’d used reminding him far too irksomely of wood glue.

“What are you saying? We haven’t been here for long. In the first place we should hurry up and think of a strategy firs—“

For the second time on that afternoon, Kou had found himself being stopped midway of his musings, only having to have realized then that Nene had been in the bathroom all along. His eyes had grown wide with startlement, before having the familiar creep of a blush climb its way back up to his face with the difference in shade ten times as strong compared to the previous flush of color he’d donned just minutes earlier.

His dimwitted self which entirely lacks self awareness had almost confessed to her indirectly and in the middle of a bathroom of all places. Nene had only stared at him with an exasperated expression, a combination of what was obviously that of displeasure from the two of them bickering nonsensically and the urgency of the situation which they were very, very clearly stalling at that moment.

“Oh, yeah. You’re right! Let’s get going already.” Kou had laughed nervously to himself, the embarrassment hiking further up in his throat with his voice clearly about two octaves higher than normal before speeding up and out first out of the bathroom.

“What the heck was that about? Is there something wrong with my face?”

“Other than still looking human and not resembling a radish yet, I think you’re perfectly fine.”

Nene had turned to him with a brief look of irritation, before harshly spearing him on the head with the sharp ends of her hair pins.

“Hmph, stupid Hanako-kun acting all weird and suddenly calling me a radish, again.” She’d grumbled in frustration under her breath, with an injured Amane cradling his head in his palm and having his complaints about Yashiro’s ruthlessness ignored to be whisked away by the wind.

In the midst of his half-heartedly hurt reverie, his thoughts had peddled back to Kou’s would-have-been confession, noting how easy it was for him for the words to flow and cascade from his mouth.

And he was certain that had he been not there and the setting at the very least, had been somewhere that wasn’t as peculiar and off-putting as a bathroom, then the blonde boy would have not hesitated. He could picture him perfectly in his head, the words which Amane had kept from spilling running freely with his heart completely exposed and in its rawest for her to have as her own if Nene would willingly accept.

The very thought of her responding and reciprocating his feelings had caused an unutterable amount of fear to brew in Amane’s chest.

For he who was nothing more but a sham that could merely falsify and imitate what little of his memories could correctly recall as ‘life’, Kou was the living, breathing counterpart to his lies—someone who actually had the ability within his reach to promise her happiness.

He knew, and frankly, he didn’t really need to be reminded.

It was never a competition from the beginning.

And Amane was neither a willing contender.

His eyes in the shade of a precious mineral had darted on her back, watching with a somber fondness as the slope of her slight shoulders further sagged from her dipped mood exclusively caused by him just minutes prior.

Amane’s stare had narrowed in a sentiment of strangled affection, one that he was absolutely terrified for anyone or anything to ever decrypt from him.

“Maybe just for a little while. If it means I can keep you, I can stay in love with you for a little while longer.” The words had gone out and died in a whisper, coherent but with every syllable surely indistinct enough for anyone other than himself to understand.

She’d whirled her head around in query, certain that she’d heard him speak but not quite catching his words as she’d been lost in her own embittered sighs and grievances over the grating spectral being.

Amane had simply smiled at her, that same tenderly lonely smile he’d given her earlier that day when they were in the bathroom.

And Nene had only felt the same sting of emotion she’d felt back then as well; puncturing and aching yet beckoning her to him at the same time.

Creep: (Same verse/Tsukanene version)

GO READ CICADA SUMMER

@spades-queen​

So I wanted to write down my thoughts about Cicada Summer. Which oh gosh if you love Hanako at all please just go read this. You won't regret it! I PROMISE YOU!

I’ll put this under read more now cause I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone . So just know spoilers are under the read more.

I feel I should say this just beforehand though these are just my personal thoughts and i’m not really good at holding back my emotions. If I love something I let you REALLY know I love something and cry over the simplest details if they mean something to me. I may not have interpreted everything in the way you wanted them to be interpreted as the writer OR I might have thought a character was an OC or like that cause I am not fully caught up on the manga (I’m on ch 61 as of rn) and fair warning my grammar is horrible sometimes and my key pad keeps freezing so apologies for that in advance. Ok with that out of the way please allow me to gush :,))

This took me forever to put into words and I scrapped this twice but I think I’m just gonna go with it this time. This is a jumbled mess but my thoughts just can’t stay in a straight line today for some reason. So we’re just gonna run with this. I mean this in the nicest possible way when I say THIS FIC IS BREAKING MY HEART! I love it! I love it I love it! But the PAIN I feel and the immersion when reading these chapters is like I’m also there wandering adrift with Amane at night. Feeling the crushing weight of everything and so so empty. (Probably doesn’t help I was up till 5 am reading this the other night)

But the way you write completely does that for me!! TSUCHIGOMORI again I mean this with all the love but GOSH I CAN’T! The torment you are making him feel! (Secretly slow claps 👏🏻 in the background) Yes I love the pain. I love the genuine emotion from all this! But I won’t deny my eyes were watering. Really watering I can’t remember the exact scenes but at times there was this big lump in my throat.

I have to confess how much I love canon. I know I know it’s not something most people love. But I do I really am strange I just love more then anything either deleted scenes to canon or something that could basically be canon. I know that’s a dangerous line to tread and I’m not saying I don’t love AU’s but I just have a special place in my heart for origins and deleted scenes. The problem with most of those though is they are so out of character.. or there’s just this one particular thing that bothers me. I’m really not trying to over gush.. but really I can’t see anything that seems off (And I’m using a telescope) Your characterization is SO GOOD! Not only the characterization but the characters actions don’t seem out of character either! You really really know how to get into the minds and view points!

Particular scenes like When Tsuchigomori is talking to that kid in class who “lost” his jacket and trying to break up their argument over the ghost discussion. It’s such a not important example but it’s so true to tsuchigomori! Even scenes like that I see them in a film strip play out in my mind. His expressions and attitude about even that small exchange. That’s when you know your writing it top tier for even scenes like that.

Another example is when Amane first spots what he thinks is a white weird looking cat and meets Yako. The way you write her.., sorry I just could go on it’s brilliant!

(Ok I’m staying more focused now)I also wanted to bring up the level of significant detail. Well personally I think these are significant details cause they are a few things I latched onto and wanted to expand on this ...

I’m just gonna list them. Like I said this is a bit jumbled but it’s the best way I can get my genuine thoughts out about this.

1- There’s this scene in actual canon that makes me have a similar feeling about the timing in how you write so I’m just gonna talk about that first.  It’s the scene in the Book Stacks Arc when Nene and Kou have to tell Tsuchigomori their secrets and then they think Hanako should have to as well.

“Oh my you want to hear secrets about me? “ “No thanks but I do appreciate the offer. I know more then enough.”

I won’t go on a tangent about this but this detail destroys my soul and when you go back and re read or re watch the anime after it’s only then that it does! Cause then you know! It’s the timing of it!

The way you use timing in your fic going back to the origin story’s (not just Amane’s but the interactions with all the other people and supernaturals around him) like when Amane first meets Yako and then in my mind I think forward to when he goes

“Hey number 2. It’s been a while. Do you remember me?” .... “So you guys are ... friends?” “She’s a wonder. I’m a wonder. Sometimes it’s assumed.”

We don’t know much about Hanako’s origin. Actually we know practically nothing about Hanako’s origin. We know more about Yugi Amanes backstory then Hanako’s origin of how he came to be Hanako and THAT is really saying something. (Gosh I so hope soon will get to know some more about both) But the way you wrote the introduction with Amane and Yako before Hanako was even a Wonder... I can’t describe it but it’s that kinda detail that makes me feel a slight similar feeling to the “You want to hear secrets about me?” example if I go back now and watch the Missaki stairs episode.

It’s because of your word choices and timing (it’s seamless) It’s just the story telling itself with those details..I hope that makes some sense? I can’t think of words. Obviously you know I’m not a writer cause I’m not good at this but it was something that was a significant detail for me.

Second-Your original character of Nakamura. How her sweet and pure  personality and inquisitive helpful nature wanted her to try and see if she could see over that mountain that was Amanes guarded wall and how she just kept trying until that was completely taken away from her with his death. I really like her and I have this suspision it was an intentional parallel to Nene In a very natural subtle way (that’s just what I interpreted) to think now thinking forward how Hanako gravitated to Nene’s personality cause a part of It might have slightly reminded him of a could have been friend he never took the opportunity to let even slightly in and regretted that. Even worse with that reminder and seeing Nene at first glance and knowing she was just gonna die. You really REALLY know how to bring on the hints and detail driven Angst!

Third. I have to bring up Tsuchigomori’s and Yako’s dynamic. It always took on a most light hearted feel with these two who are basically stuck with each other for eternity. And they may or may not at times slightly reminded me of a very old (we’re talking ancient) married couple. Your dynamic and internal thought monologue from both their povs about each other were solid gold 👌🏻.

Forth Emi and Shuuya THE TENSION IN MY BODY WHEN EMI... AHHH! And then he ran into Nakamura LITERALLY INTO HER BODY! Jumping out the window and then the scene outside .:. Ahh I get chills. Chills. Then Tsuchigomori protecting his student .. his surrogate son ok I’m fine. I’m fine. :,( Anyway .. yea that was so good! 😭 The scenes were so fast pace it was shock and awe I was feeling mostly and then when it calmed down with Tsuchigomori and Amane just being there together that’s when my chest got tight again. But I’m so intrigued about Emi. I mean I know she’s established and important but how you are gonna continue to write her is what I’m so curios about. We know so little about her.

The exchange between Amane and Emi after when he seeks her out and tells her one day she will be a great exorcist and the hesitation she mulls over in her mind. Not understanding this supernatural at all. Brings me back to Kou and his conflicting emotions towards Hanako when they first met and the parallels just make me so emotional!

I will also confess I’m not completely caught up on the manga I have around 7 more chapters to go as I’m on chapter 61 right now. So unless they said Teru and Kous grandmothers first name in those chapters I’m gonna assume you chose it.

Same goes for the first clock keeper Shuuya I don’t know what to make of him as of right now and haven’t gotten to the part in the manga I think you said in your authors note that he was briefly introduced in? But again I love what you did with this! He was such a fun and contrasting character to the newest clock keeper.

Introducing this character and what Amanes first response was to him. Someone else who could see him! How that made him feel. Really makes me think of his response to Akane now and Hanako just hoping that that he can have another friend and someone to interact with and even though Akane um.. let’s go with dislikes him he doesn’t care cause it’s someone else that he can actually interact with.

The flashbacks with Tsukasa. Oh boy. Oh boy. Gosh I have no idea what to make of Tsukasa in general like it pains me so much cause I hate his actions but I feel SO SO BAD FOR HIM! Something made him the way he was! I love your flashback scenes so much! I love seeing that human small child side to him. It’s just so so sad :,( Wait how old were they in the flashback scene of the festival? Does the one in 1964 when Nene traveled back still exist in the canon of this story?

And also speaking of Tsukasa (I know this one you can’t answer cause this might be a plot point) but why couldn’t Tsuchigomori find his book? That’s what I am dying to know.

I could go on so much more about Amane and Tsuchigomori but it’s so hard for me to put into words for all the chapters so far. My next review will be more focused on just the latest chapter so this is a bit of a mess. You really understand this dynamic and it’s a dynamic that personally means so so much to me. What changed everything for me when I first got into Hanako was the Bookstacks arc. That changed everything for me. Knowing who this boy of Yugi Amane was and the dynamic we got to see with the only person who knew who he was when he was human! (I really hope they dive more into that and we see more Tsuchigomori telling us about that) Some of these themes and concepts hit me so personally and my heart breaks for Yugi so much.

I probably missed a lot but I really feel like this is just such a mess even though these are all my genuine thoughts im sure more will pop back into my head later.

Lastly if you wouldn't be opposed I may try to make something for it creatively. You know how certain fics have their own fan art and such ... 

I wish there were so many actual visual fan arts made of this story for more visualization! If only I had talent. ( I may possibly try my hand at one but I have only drawn one piece of art ever)

These are just the scenes off the top my head Tsuchigomori next to Amane on the staircase as he cries when he first realizes he’s a spirit

Amane sitting in his own desk next to Nakamura watching her sleep

Amane and Emi looking right up at the ghost of the moon in the daylight before Amane disappears from her sight

Tsuchigomori bandaging Amane yet again in the nurses office. Telling him he will eventually fade away he’s not attached to anything here anymore he’s just a drift.

Amane looking at himself in the bathroom mirror not recognizing himself gritting the phantom pain in his abdomen as looks to see it’s physically rotting away (that’s a bit darker of one😅 but I love it)

Amane telling Tsuchigomori as they watch the lanterns he’s not going anywhere again when Tsuchigomori tells him “maybe now would be the best time to cross”

Ok .. I made myself cry again but these scenes stick out to me so much. You should have fan art for them cause they are just that good! :,)

I hope in someway if you do read this you somewhat like my thoughts on this even if they are jumbled. I had to gush about this but also maybe I latched onto a detail that isn’t really brought up or something. That’s another reason I wanted to share my thoughts with you. 

Really your writing is such a privilege! I feel so lucky to come across something like this and to be captivated by it and (breaking down at 5 am over it) Thank you again for sharing this creation It’s inspiring creatively and I feel very grateful ❤️

[robin-the-enby]

Hi! This is Diavolosthots coming at you from my main!!! I wanted to ask for a double match up for Diabolik lovers (Sakamaki & Mukami) but if that's too much then just a Mukami boy please! I'm a fairly tall girl, pretty extroverted and confident but I get shy when someone is MORE confident than me. I like the outdoors and activities like swimming and hiking. I can be quite sassy and quite opinionated but I'm also super flexible and try to stay out of arguments. Definitely the mom friend! Thanks ❤

A/N: Hi! Thank you for the request it was so fun to write! I hope you’ll like it, it’s my first matchup and I haven’t seen the anime in a while so I hope this isn’t whack.

That being said, I can see you with:

Kou Mukami:

To me, Kou is a massive extrovert who radiates confidence and charm, so getting along with you wouldn’t be a problem for him. 

I think that if his confidence makes you shy while other people don’t, he’ll take pride in it, it will make him feel special in a way. 

However, I think Kou’s confidence and charm came with his proffesion. Being an idol is basically a 24/7 job, whenever you’re in public, you’re at work, so I think by acting confident he’s pushing aside feelings that would make him vulnerable.

At first he’d probably act bossy to make you do things for him, but in reality he’s just baby and wants affection and compassion (referencing the time where he made Yui take his shirt off, bc that’s what it looked like to me)

But if you two get close enough, he’ll let himself be vulnerable, maybe even accidentally and it’s up to you what you do in that moment. Mock him or wave him away and you might as well lost him forever or show him some compassion and he’ll be attached to you even more, treating you more gently than before.

Subaru Sakamaki:

This boy is a tsundere and he tends to fight with others a lot.

He’s also used to being ignored or being on the sidelines, never really in the center of attention.

Despite being so reserved and quiet he also screams confidence, but mostly in his body language.

He’ll definitely start fights with you and act like a jerk, because he doesn’t want to have anything to do with you.

However, if you talk back to him and fight back? He is intrigued.

The longer he knows you, the more he realizes you’re not a whiny puppy and so he stops being so mean.

Actually he kinda stops minding your presence, but won’t try to reach out to you, so it’ll probably have to be you to seek him out.

Although he wouldn’t be as agressive, he’d still keep his distance. You have to forgive him for that, that man has so much emotional baggage (but who doesn’t in that anime, am I right?)

If you’re persistent enough, he’ll losen up more and more around you, until he stops disliking you. And hooray! You two are friends now!

Honestly, I think that getting Subaru to like you in a romantic way would take much longer than with Kou.

But it’ll be worth it in the end, if Subaru sees he can trust you and that you actually care about him and will care for him, he’ll be the most loyal of them all in my opinion.

If his confidence makes you shy, he probably won’t understand it at first. How come you’re so confident around others, but shy with him? Are you scared or something? It’ll take him time to understand that shyness is a type of vulnerability, but when he does, he’ll feel happy that you’re comfortable around him to be vulnerable. Not that he’d say that out loud.

Others I can see you with: Shuu Sakamaki - like Subaru, he’ll be intrigued by your confidence, but he’ll enjoy seeing you suddenly really shy because of his confidence even more than Kou.

Chaos Lineage Yuma Chapter 1 Translation

Place : Scarlet mansion – Vacant room

Yui : I choose Yuma-san...

Yuma : What ? Me ? Well, I'm the one who turns out to be the best guard here

Fine with me, I accept. But you're gonna lend me extra help in return

Yui : Okay...

Yuma : Now that we're settled, I've got no choice but to take you... Hey, wait for a bit

Yui : O-Okay ?

*some time passes

Yui : (It's been quite a while since everyone left the room...)

(Should I just stay here ?)

(I imagined incredible things like being chained in jail or being tortured since it's a battle to become the supreme ruler...)

(That's a relief)

*someone suddenly enters the room

Yui : Kyaaa... !?

Yuma : Ah ? Why are you freaked out ?

Yui : Y-Yuma-san... ? Well, you didn't knock at the door before entering...

Yuma : Why would I do that ? I'm your guard so I enter your room whenever I like

Yui : I-I think that even if you're my guard, you can't enter my room without permission...

Yuma : How annoying... Looks like you don't understand your position yet

Yui : What... ?

*Yuma gets close to Yui and lifts her

Yui : Yaah... ! What are you doing all of a sudden !? Please put me down !

Yuma : Tch... Stop struggling. You want me to drop you ?

Yui : But you suddenly... !

Yuma : Shut up

Yui : … !

Yuma : Looks like you guessed it wrong, I'm not gonna have you sit like a doll

You're gonna... give me plenty of help

Yui : … !

(I was over-optimistic after all. I can't get away with this without a price. I have to do things from now on...!)

Yuma : Now, let's go

Yui : (Even if I struggle, I can't run away from him)

(Where exactly is he bringing me to...?)

Scene change : Scarlet mansion – Garden

Yui : (… T-This place is...)

Yuma : Look, we arrived. Stop dozing off and get off

*Yuma drops Yui

Yui : Kyaa !

Y-You didn't have to drop me all of a sudden... !

Yuma : You stay here. Don't do anything weird other than what I instruct you

Yui : Um, where are we... ?

Yuma : My vegetable garden. It's not big enough, though

Yui : Vegetable garden... So this is a vegetable garden

And... what are we doing in a vegetable garden ?

Yuma : Haa ? To grow vegetables and harvest them, duh. What else do you think we do ?

Yui : I-I thought you would take me to jail and torture me or find the way to become the supreme ruler...

Yuma : Heeeh... If you like that sort of thing, I can make you my pet

Yui : N-No thanks !

Yuma : Haha, you're getting all red. I don't have such bad hobbies, even if you ask me that badly

C'mon, take this

Yui : … A basket ?

Yuma : I'll pass the vegetables I harvested to you so hold it firmly

*Yuma leaves

Yui : (He began to check on the vegetables. It seems he really does farmwork...)

(I see, if he guards me while working in the fields, the best thing is to bring me here...)

(I'm ashamed of myself for panicking and imagining things...)

Yuma : We can harvest this area already

Yui : (He's skilled... What a surprise)

Um, do you always take care of the vegetable garden ?

Yuma : Yeah

Yui : I see...

(So Yuma-san takes care of the vegetable garden... It feels somewhat strange)

(He looks violent with his large build and not good with delicate work)

Yuma : Tch... You're staring at me. You got something to complain ?

Yui : T-That's not it... !

Um, is this one of your hobbies ?

Yuma : … No

Yui : Eh... ?

Yuma : It's not a hobby. But... I feel that I have to do it, sort of

As if I have always done this for someone...

Yui : (Yuma-san is troubled about something ? I can clearly hear some things he says until now, but...)

Yuma : Aah, shit ! Ignore that ! I don't have to tell you in the first place

Yui : O-Okay...

(Does he have an important reason... ? He's working very seriously)

(Yuma-san may be kinder than I thought)

Yuma : Tch... Hey, Eve !

Yui : Yes !?

Yuma : Are you gonna starin' at me forever !? Help me out a little !!

Yui : Eh ? But...

(You asked me to stay here...)

Choice 1 : Obey (white roses)

Yui : (Well, it's not good to just stand here watching Yuma-san working...)

(It may distract me as well if I move my body)

Is there something I can help you with ?

Yuma : Oh, showin' interest ? You face it well

Yui : I would feel sorry for not doing anything. So what should I do ?

Choice 2 : Complain (black roses)

Yui : Didn't you tell me to stay here ?

Yuma : So you won't do anything unless I tell you to ? You're well-off, huh

I asked you to help me out so you should obey quietly

Yui : … Understood

(T-That's preposterous...)

– End of choices

Yuma : Look, those are the vegetables to harvest right now

Yui : (Wow, the basket is full...!)

Yuma : Put them in that box. Sort them by size to make it easier to use later

Yui : U-Understood

(Oh, it's heavy...)

Yuma : You're unsteady ! Don't make a single scratch on my vegetables I'm proud of !

Yui : O-Okay...

(I can't believe I've been taken away by vampires and the first thing I do is farming...)

(But I don't feel out of place at all. I wonder why...)

*some time passes

Yui : Phew...

(It was very hard but moving my body made me feel a little better. All the vegetables look delicious)

(Huh ? Vampires are eating them, right ? So they also have ordinary meals ?)

Yuma : That should be enough. Now, let's just bring them for today's dinner

Yui : Do you and your brothers eat vegetables ?

Yuma : Well duh

Yui : I see. I thought vampires' meal is only blood...

Yuma : No, we only need blood to survive. But we're also hungry for other things because of the past

Yui : The past ?

Yuma : Yeah, after all, we were--

… ? What was that... ?

Yui : (Yuma-san began troubled again...)

Yuma : Shit, I don't get it well ! But we're eating meals, got it !?

Yui : I-I got it !

(W-Well, humans eat sweets even if they aren't nutritious to them... So it must be something like that ?)

(But to think he works so hard in the fields even if he doesn't need to eat vegetables...)

(Yuma-san is strange)

Yuma : You... What's with that weird look ?

Yui : Eh ? Well... I thought it was strange that you grow vegetables even though it's not necessary...

Yuma : Aah ? It's not necessary ?

Yui : (Ah... The atmosphere changed...)

Yuma : You don't know that painful feeling when you don't eat ?

Or you're laughting at us vampires for having meals ? For a tool, you're making a fool of us !

Yui : T-That's wrong ! I didn't... !

Yuma : Shut up with your complains !

*Yuma grabs Yui

Yui : Ouch... !?

(He lifted me from the ground... !? He's incredibly strong... ! I can't push him away at all !)

Yuma... san... !

Yuma : If me growing vegetables is so funny to you...

I'll eat a vampire-like meal as you wish

Yui : (He will... suck my blood...!?)

No... ! Stop !

Yuma : You'll realise in a snap how it was a mistake to make me rage that much

Yui : Hiiii... !

Yuma : Ha... I had low expectations since you have a poor-looking body but your smell isn't bad...

*sucks blood

Yui : Ah... Hmm...

(His fangs are... He's really biting me...!)

(I can see that he's sucking my blood. A-At this rate, he's going to kill me...?)

Yuma : Hmm... Haa... So sweet... Maybe even more than sugars. Looks like I'll enjoy it...

Yui : (H-He already finished...?)

Yuma : Hey, it's not over. 'Cause I haven't drunk from here yet

Yui : No... No more... !

Yuma : That expression's nice as well... It's pretty arousing... *sucks blood

Yui : (O-Ouch... His fangs are piercing me many times... I don't understand well anymore--)

(As it is... will I become... a vampire's meal...?)

(But... When his giant body's near me... I strangely calm down... Why...?)

*flashback

Yui : (…!?)

*end of flashback

Yui : (What was it just now ? It was a familiar place...)

*Yui gets other flashbacks of differents places from the Mukami house

Yui : (Uuh... I'm having a... headache)

*end of flashback

Yuma : … Haa... Your blood is the best. Looks like I can't stop

Hm ? Hey, what's up ?

Yui : My head... AAAAAAAAAAAAH !

*screen goes blank

Yui : (Ah... Why...?)

(Why did I forget ?)

Yuma : Hey, hey ! Tch... Did I suck too much ?

Yui : Ah... Yuma-kun...

(Why didn't I remember until now ?)

(Yuma-kun's my beloved one... He's someone precious to me, and yet...)

Yuma : What ? Have you gone crazy or something ?

If you become weird, that Reiji guy's gonna be noisy

Yui : (Reiji-san... ? That's right, why Yuma-kun is in the same family as Reiji-san and the others ?)

(I woke up in a church and was brought in this mansion...)

(I'm supposed to live with the Mukamis as usual. Since when am I in such a place ?)

(Where am I in the first place ?)

Yuma : Hey, we should go back soon. He'll sermon us if we're late at dinner

Yui : W-Wait, Yuma-kun ! What on earth is happening !?

Yuma : Haa ?

Yui : Where are we ? Who exactly this mansion belong to... ?

We're not in Kaminashi Town, right ?

Yuma : The heck are you talking about ?

Yui : (… ! Yuma-kun ? Could it be his memories are...?)

H-Hey... Do you remember Ruki-kun, Kou-kun... and Azusa-kun ?

Yuma : Ah ? I don't remember then but I know their faces well. After all--

They're all enemies who compete for Eve

Yui : N... No way...

(Enemies ? That... That can't be !)

Did you forget Ruki-kun, Kou-kun and Azusa-kun !? And you had such a good relationship...!

Yuma : Stop telling me sickening jokes ! Me, getting along with that Ruki bastard ? That eldest son dude from the Oranges ?

Even if we let the enemy part aside, he's a bad cocky guy. I dunno what he's thinking to himself

Kou and Azusa are those Violet brothers, huh ? They get on my nerves when they sneak in

Yui : (No way... Yuma-kun is...)

(For Yuma-kun to speak about his brothers like that...)

Yuma : What's with that pale face ? We're done here so let's return to the mansion

Yui : (Does Yuma-kun happen to have his memories altered ?)

(No, all the others are like that as well. Did they lost their memories just like me before ?)

(How did this happen !?)

Yuma : Hey, if you keep that shitty attitude towards me, I'll seriously get mad

Yui : P-Please... Let me check one last thing...

Don't you remember that we're lovers either... ?

Yuma : I'm your lover ?

Yui : That's right... We talked about various things and overcame a lot of difficulties together--

(We understood each other, and yet...)

Yuma : Okay, look...

*Yuma grabs Yui hard

Yui : Ouch... !?

(It hurts... ! My shoulder... He won't let go !)

Yuma : … Don't carry your jokes to extremes. I fucking hate annoying women like you

Yui : … !

Yuma : Your true intentions may be to beg for me to let you escape but that ain't gonna happen

Yui : I-It hurts... Yuma-kun, please... Let me go...

Yuma : This will teach you a lesson, don't say fucking nauseating things like that ever again

*Yuma drops her

Yui : Ouch... !

(The place where he grabbed me is numb... I can't feel it)

(Besides, Yuma-kun's eyes are ferocious and... scary. Like the time when we just met...)

Yuma : I'll tell you this so you don't misunderstand

I may be your guard but that's just because you're Eve

You're a tool to become the supreme ruler. You have no more value than that

Yui : … Yuma-kun...

Yuma : If you get it, don't say weird stuff ever again

Yui : …

Yuma : Don't keep silent. Say “Understood”

Yui : … Under... stood...

Yuma : That will do. C'mon, stand up and get ready. We're going back to the mansion

Yui : … Okay

*Yuma leaves

Yui : (An unknown land. Everyone having strange memories. A battle to become the supreme ruler--)

(What exactly have I gotten into...?)

Chapter 1 : End

[nerieda]

Chaos Lineage Subaru Chapter 2

I’m sorry this one took so long, real life kept me busy.  There’s a few lines I”m iffy on, but I really didn’t want to take much longer than I already have.

------------Monologue

 Subaru-kun released me from the cell,

grabbed my arm,

and started walking.

 Azusa-kun and Kou-kun too,

Watching me,

Sticking closely to either side of me.

 As if to bind a criminal,

As if to say they’ll never escape.

 To be treated like this by Subaru-kun,

Who should be my lover.

 The back of my eyes are hot.

Sadness seems to overflow.

 It’s like having a bad dream.

 ----------

 Place:  Violet Hallway

 Subaru: What are you so unsteady for?  Can’t you walk straight?

 Yui:  …ugh

(You grabbed my arm painfully…..Subaru-kun is blunt, but truly kind.)

(Such violence, I can’t walk with you dragging me…..  It’s not like Subaru-kun.)

(He really cannot remember me at all.)

…Oh, where are we going?

 Kou:  You didn’t hear us talking earlier?  I said you were being called by Carla-kun?

 Azusa:  Living….  Carla is waiting.

 Subaru:  Don’t ask where we’re going.

Anyway, you have to follow us.

 Yui:……

(It may be so. I’d like to talk to Subaru-kun about everything though…..)

 Azusa:  …….mmm.  ,,,,.what?

A sweet….smell.  Eve, it’s from you….

 Yui:  ….eh, me?

 Kou:  It’s true! This swee~t, nice smell is definitely the smell of you blood.

What’s making your smell so strong….Subaru-kun did it!

 Azusa:  You sucked….Eve’s blood…?  If you are selfish….Carla will be angry with you….

 Subaru:  I know he will.  

 Kou:  You’re hardheaded, Subaru-kun.

 Subaru:   Shut up!  I wanted to cooperate the minimum for Carla to become Supreme King.  I’m ordered to do extra things.

 Yui:  (Kou-kun and Azusa-kun seem to just be following what Carla-san says)

(Subaru-kun seems different.)

(Besides, does Carla-san think the vampires are his brothers?)

(As a Founder, Carla-san would never forgive this.)

(But being brothers….I wonder if it feels strange.)

(He is alone.  I hope he notices this situation is strange---)

  Place:  Violet Living/DIning Room

 Kou:  Carla-kun, I’ve got Subaru-kun and Eve.

 Carla:  Ah, sit over there.  I have something to say.

 Yui:  (As expected, he treats everyone as normal brothers.  That means Carla-san’s memory is also different.)

 Carla:  Now, our house has Eve, which is a step to becoming King.

But, because we just claimed her I do not yet understand the way to become Supreme King.

Until there is a King, the other houses will not give up.

Outside raids will be frequent.  Do not give the enemy a chance, never let your guard down.

 Kou:  Yes!  Leave it to us!

 Laito:  I will not give Eve to anyone.

 Carla:  Good.  From this point forward, be aware of the movements of the other families and always follow my instructions.

We will win the fight against the other families if you never defy me.

 Kou:  Yeah.  No one goes against Carla-kun.

 Laito:  It’s bothersome, but it can’t be helped.  I’ll do my best to gather information.

 Azusa:  Besides….none of my brothers….wants to lose.

 Subaru:  If we can end this stupid fight, whatever it is. Until then, we will cooperate.

 Carla:  Hmph….  You each seem to have a thought, I will not complain if you work tirelessly as my pieces.

Until I become King.

Kou:  So, what about the truth?  Eve came to our house, so is Carla the King?

Something like this…., the power springs up, or the method suddenly appears…

 Carla:  mmm…  There are no such signs.  To be clear, I have no idea how to take the seat of the King.

 Laito:  Ah,  is that so.  You seemed confident so I thought you had some clues.

 Carla:  Not at all.  So Eve, I have something to ask you.

 Yui:  Me…?

 Carla:  You have been in our hands over night.  However, I have not changed.

No, not only to obtain you, there are other conditions to becoming King?

 Yui:  Conditions to become the King…

 Carla:  If you have any thoughts about it, speak without hiding anything.

I will not forgive you as Eve if you act secretive.

 Yui:  That….

(I don’t know anything about Eve, or the King.)

(But it’s not like I can say I don’t know anything.)

 Carla:  …..sigh….

 *footsteps*

 Yui:   Th, that….  What’s wrong, Carla-san?

(He got up suddenly and came closer to me….  what is wrong?)

 Carla:  …Stay calm.

 *grabbing sounds*

 Yui:  ….what….?!

 Kou:  Ehhh, Carla-kun’s bold!

 Laito:  What changed the mood suddenly?

 Carla:  Woman, show me your shoulder.

 Yui:  Eh?!  Please stop for a moment!  Carla-san!

 Carla:  …this is

 Yui:  (Ah, the mark where Subaru-kun sucked is still there….)

( Carla-san will find out he sucked my blood….!)

 Carla:  I thought I smelled it a while ago,

What is this bite mark?

 Yui:  That’s….

 Carla:  Who drank Eve’s blood without my permission?

 Laito:  It’s not me.  Haven’t I always been with Carla?

 Kou: *groans*…….

 Azusa:  …..sigh….

 Yui:  (The air is heavy with Carla-san’s presence)

(What will happen if he finds out Subaru-kun sucked my blood….?)

 Subaru:   …ha-.  I’m the one who did it.

 Yui:  (Eh, Subaru-kun came forward himself….!)

 Carla:  You.  You acted selfishly, without my permission.

 Subaru:  I just sucked because the food was there.  I didn’t see the need to tell you.

 Carla:  No, there is.  As Eve is the key to becoming King, I will not allow others to have this woman.  

 Subaru:  Tch, wow…

 Azusa:  Selfish actions...become…jealousy….   Brothers…have to get along well….

 Laito:  It seems Subaru-kun was the first to get to Eve.

 Kou:  Well, if I smelled this sweet smell I wouldn’t be able to endure it.  But, it really is too much!

 Carla:  …..smell, hm.  Certainly it has a special smell unlike normal blood.

Eve’s blood, hm….

No way, is her special blood the way to become king?

 Yui:  I do not know, I am nothing…

 Carla:  If you don’t know anything, that is fine.  What we will do is just try it.

 *comes closer*

 Carla:  For exmple, I can just check by sucking your blood.

 Yui:  It’s not good to suck…!?  S, stop please!

 Carla:  Stay calm.  You don’t have the power to fight me.  .…*bites*….

 Yui: …groans…

(Hurts….he’s holding me in place, his fangs are piercing into my body…)

Ow…stop…

 Subaru:  Oi, wait Carla.

 Yui:  (Eh, Subaru-kun…?)

 -------------Choices

+ He’s trying to help? (White piece)

 Yui:  (Maybe, he’s trying to help me?)

 Subaru:  Is this okay? You’re hurting her a lot.

If Eve hates you, would you be able to become King?

 Yui:  (Now that Subaru-kun’s memory is messed up, I don’t really know the truth.)

(I wonder if Carla-san will let me go now….?)

(Somehow, even when I didn’t have my memory, weren’t my feelings for Subaru there somewhere….?)

 + Because I”m your food? (Black piece)

 Yui:  (Is he trying to stop Carla-san now?)

 Subaru:  Don’t show your anger.  Watch her when you suck her blood. [ムカツクもん見せんじゃねぇよ。そいつの血を吸うなら見えねぇとこでやれ]

 Yui:  (Subaru-kun, you’re still watching my blood being sucked.)

(Well, do you still have those feelings for me?)

 -----------------End Choices

 Carla:  …..*gasping*

What is this blood?  It’s too bad.

 Yui:  Eh…

 Carla:  Subaru, you like drinking this kind of blood?  

 Subaru:  Haa?  Is it so bad?

 Carla:  Aa, It tastes bad.  Eve’s blood, is bad as it is. It ruins my enjoyment of it.

 Yui:  (Well, that’s because my blood hasn’t been purified for a founder like Carla, so it won’t taste delicious. )

 Kou:  Hm, I don’t like it.  Why is the clue to becoming king so far away?

  Carla: ….No, the opposite is true.

 Laito:  Opposite?

 Carla:  The taste of her blood may be proof that Eve is not yet mature.

It may be that the way to becoming King only appears when Eve’s blood has matured.

 Yui:  (Eh?  Is that what it is….?)

 Laito:  Do we have to ripen this child’s blood then?  Well then, how about letting Eve be free?

 Carla: Why?

 Laito: If you want to make Eve’s blood delicious, don’t lock her in the dungeon.

If girls are stressed, it can have lots of bad effects on their bodies.

There are many vacant rooms, what if she gets better treatment?

 Carla:  ….I see.  In any case, I need Eve’s cooperation to find the key to becoming King.

Keeping her in the dungeon forever with Subaru on guard will not make progress.

 Kou:  Hhm.  In other words, if Eve’s blood becomes delicious, Carla-kun can become King?

 Azusa:  It becomes delicious….after maturing…?

 Subaru:  ….I didn’t think her blood was that bad, though.

 Laito:  Does Subaru-kun not have a sense of taste?

 Subaru:  Ha?!  That’s not true!  

 Kou:  Well then, we taste Eve’s blood.  We can see that way.

 Laito:  Besides, something may trigger if we all suck her blood together.

 Azusa:  If Eve’s blood….is delicious….then….I will cooperate…also…

 Yui:  (I feel this is going bad.  As it is….)

 Carla:  ….ok

At the present, we don’t have any other clues.

I will allow a little blood sucking if it brings me closer to becoming King.

 Yui: That kind of!  So selfishly….!

 Carla:  The stimulation of her blood being sucked may cause some changes to Eve.

 Laito:  Yes, then we need to suck too right?  It’s been a while since a smell was this irresistible.

 Kou:  So generous, Carla-kun

 Azusa:  Eve, that’s…good, I’m sure it will be delicious blood…..

Subaru:  ….tch…

 Yui:  Such….

Please wait, Carla-san.  I’m not the Eve everyone thinks I am….

 Carla:  Be silent.  I did not ask for your opinion.

 Yui:  ……!?

 Carla:  But, as I said before, I will treat you with courtesy from now on.

You too, will care about the treatment of Eve.  You will not take actions to corrupt her blood.

 Kou:  Ye-s

 Laito:  No-o.  I’ll follow that rule.

 Azusa:  Uhn….,  Follow…Carla’s instructions….

 Subaru: ….tch….

 Carla:  Eve, you do not have to return to the cell anymore.  We will give you one of the vacant rooms.

You should spend time in your room from now on.  It should be somewhat cozy.

 Yui:  Carla-san….

 Carla:  Subaru.  Guide Eve to a vacant room.

 Subaru:  Aaa

Hey, follow me.

 Yui:  …….

 Place:  Hallway

 Yui:  (It’s nice to be out of jail, but I simply can’t rejoice.)

(When it became an opportunity to become King, it became a situation where everyone is aiming for my blood.)

Uhm, Subaru-kun…..  You really don’t remember anything about me?

 Subaru:  You are persistent. I don’t know anything about you.

 Yui:  But….., Are you okay with hearing everyone can suck my blood?

I hate this.  To be bitten by someone other than Subaru-kun.

Aren’t you feeling bad at the moment?  If so, that feeling is the truth.

 Subaru:  Shut up!

 Yui:  Eep….!

 Subaru:  Don’t say selfish things.  Didn’t you hear me tell you to stop being so persistent?

Don’t you know I’m not going to hit you?

What if I want to drain your blood here and now?

 Yui:  (In my ear…!)

 Subaru:  Then, I will shut you up so we don’t have to deal with Carla. [そしたら，うるさいお前も黙るしカルラにあれこれ偉そうにされなくてすむもんな]

 Yui: ……

 Subaru:  What happened?  You don’t even have a voice?

 Yui:  …..Don’t.  Subaru-kun don’t.

 Subaru:  Ha?

 Yui:  I know.  You talk violently but you really are kinder than anyone else.

So Subaru-kun will do anything terrible.

 Subaru:  You say stupid things…..

 Yui:  (It’s not stupid!  Remember your true self….!)

….…..

 Subaru:  …..Shit

Look, you are Eve.  Nothing else.

 Yui:  (Subaru-kun….)

(I am not Eve.  I know nothing about the Supreme King.)

(I don’t know what’s causing them all to target me…..)

(Even if I wanted to ask for help, there is no one to help me.)

(Even Subar-kun, the most reliable won’t turn to me now.)

(Subaru-kun, did you really forget your brothers or that you were my lover….?)

Scene: Dungeon

Kou: (Kino is here.)

Kou: (Because I wanted to hear various things from him, I gave up being able to have meals, but)

Kou: (Subaru knocked me into a nail, I wonder what I should do...)

Flashback

Kou: Hey, Subaru. If you’re willing, I’ll take it.

Subaru: Do what you want. Don’t say unnecessary things.

Kou: Yep yep. I understand. 

Flashback Ends

Kou: Haa...

Kou: (Even if I do this, I doubt Kino will answer willing.)

Kou: (I went to Kino quickly, as I need to fix this. I wont leave out the talk of Eden...)

Kou: (If things stay as they are, I’ll be stuck here forever.)

Kino appears

Kou: Would you look at that, You’re here.

Kou: I haven’t eaten, but I’m unbothered by it. Are you unaffected by the change?

Kino: ....

Kou: Well thats fine. But even if you dont eat...

Kou: Hey, Just a moment ago, I was talking about---

Kino: You too? You also dont believe me?

Kou: ..uh..Its nothing like that, I just dont believe that everything is a total lie.

Kou: Its because I remember the look on your face. 

Kou: When I lived in the manhole and other such places when I was a child, I also had that look in my eyes....

Kino: Aah. Thats why. Even when all that happened to me,  you feel guilty?

Kino: Oh I know. Is it because it was that person who took you out of that situation? 

Kou: But I’m scared. I came here to investigate.

Kino: You and your brothers aren’t of the same blood. You’re all just a group of pitiful taken in children.

Kino: Ah-ha, I wonder that If you guys weren’t taken in,  maybe he would’ve seeked me out instead...

Kou: So thats it.

Kou: You really are the son of Karlhienz?

Kino: ....

Kou: (The jail bars... just now they..?!)

Kino: How do you think I got this power? Its whatever you think though...

Kino: Fuaah... Hm, Well I think thats enough. Good night.

Kou: Wai....I cant get out?! The jail bars are broken down yet I still can’t get out....

Kino: There’s no reason for you to leave. This place suits you pretty well....Hahah...

Kou: ....

Scene Change: Sakamaki Castle Grand Hall

Kou: (Well suited enviorment for me....)

Kou: (Kino... You must have some awful eyesight to see it like that.)

Subaru appears

Kou: Ah...

Subaru: I dont know what you said, but I’ll believe your word.

Kou: ......

Subaru: He was asking for pity. I dont know what I should try but I’m hungry, 

Kou: Haa..? What kind of thing is that? Using your power, you’re capable of stealing from me? Is that what you’re trying to tell me?

Subaru: Wha..thats..

Kou: Always, the principal is to have a habit of doing something they’re not aware of. I feel like I should argue against that. 

Kou: I think that you dont deserve that power.

Kou: I think that Kino deserves that strength, Dont you think?!

Kou: Also, that you should make good use of your strength! Only a thought though!

Subaru: Tch...you bastard!

Subaru pushes Kou

Reiji: Please stop that. Its not a good look on both of you. 

Kou: ..Tc..

Subaru: Tch.

Reiji: Kou, There’s something I need to tell you. 

Reiji: Its about Azusa and your girlfriend. 

Kou: C-Could it be that they are looking for me?!

Reiji: Earlier, while you were there, I recieved this information from a familiar.

Reiji: Apparently, when they were in a forest in the demon world, they were caught by a member of the Vibora clan.

Kou: (Why? Why would they go to Eden together...?!)

Kou: e-Eh...Ruki’s familiar..?

Kou’s Monologue

Because of the familiar’s letter, I’m tired.

-----The Sakamaki family was facing a difficult matter when Yui and Azusa headed here. 

And so the letter was written.

Kou’s Monologue Ends

Kou: (Perhaps, it was because they were told about Kino?)

Kou: Why... This is my fault...!

Kou: I’m gonna go rescue them!---

Kou tries to leave, but Subaru pulls him back

Subaru: Wait. If you go, there could be a different outcome of what will happen. 

Kou: I dont care about what you’re saying! I’m going to help them!

Subaru: No. You dont have the strength to go alone.

Kou: ...hh...

Kou: (I dont have the strength.... that may be true, but....)

Subaru: I’ll go and rescue them. You wait here.

Kou: Ha....What are you saying!

Reiji: ....Calm down. I can’t forgive you if you act selfishly.

Reiji: Its probable that the Vibora family that kidnapped your girlfriend will give you a hard time if you encounter them.

Reiji: We have to wait until we can get all the information on the matter. And then we will propose a strategy to go rescue them efficiently.

Subaru: Tch. Thats a waste of time!

Kou: I agree! What if we dont encounter anything awful like you say we will! 

???: Ahahah. What Reiji is saying sounds reasonable to me.

Kino appears

Kino: They will aim for her heart. That girl, is who Karlhienz in the demon world made Eve.

Kino: Her heart is important. Dont try to pretend like its not. 

Subaru: You bastard! How did you get out!

Kino: Hm---? Kou left it open when he left. 

Kou: Wai.... I dont think I left it that open. 

Kou: Anyways, just now, what did you say about not saving M Neko Chan and Azusa!

Kou: If you and Reiji are skeptical that it was a good idea, I honestly dont know but, 

Kou: What if she doesnt know and they try to kill Eve, did you think about that!?

Kou: (About that, Azusa is a vampire. Without her, he’ll think that there’s no reason for him to stay alive....)

Reiji: What other thing can we do? Subaru, go to the Vibora family’s king and deliver him a letter. 

Subaru: Haaah?! You want me to deliver some stupid letter? Anyone can do that!

Reiji: Please understand the position you are in. Right now, you are the king of the vampires, are you not?

Reiji: If you try to start a war with them, our problems will only grow worse. 

Reiji: Make this go smoothly. Dont do something that could permanently harm us.

Subaru: B-But...

Reiji: Subaru. Think about what you’ll do from here on out. 

Subaru: .......I understand. But, Reiji. You write the letter.

Reiji: Eehh? They will probably be able to tell that it is an unfelt letter, and that you didnt write it. 

Subaru: Tch. Dont make me look dumb!

Kou: ......

Kou’s Monologue (Its a bit long so I’m not putting all the screencaps)

While I was watching them talk to each other, I saw that they didn’t have an inferiority complex. It was only because since I was out of the trap, that I realized this. 

I was supposed to save Yui. 

-----Anyways, In myself, I’m growing impatient not being able to do anything. 

In my own mind, I’m making the decision to not hesitate in doing something. 

But there is a physical problem. Because I dont have my own strength, I have nothing to show. 

When it comes to that important son, it only worsens my thoughts. 

As I grew aware of this, I turned my back on them and chose to leave anyways. 

Even if its a small action, I dont want to hesitate anymore. I dont want to believe that I’m powerless. 

Kou’s Monologue Ends

Kino: Hey, You’re thinking that you want it, right? Subaru’s strength. 

Kou pushes Kino

Kou: ----I dont need his strength! I dont need it!

Kou: I dont need that kind of strength to save M Neko Chan! 

Kou: (Hh...But, If, its her, than I will do whatever I can to help her....)

Kino: But are you being honest?

Kino: We are similar, I understand your way of thinking. 

Kou: ----Hhh! Dont group me together with you!

Kou: Even though you also had a rough childhood, 

Kou: The person of the past’s despair, I cant believe it was just recent!

Kou: I mean it when I say, that I dont believe it!

Kino: But, how much of yourself did he pick up? You uphold Karlhienz’s ideals. 

Kino: Its useless having high faith in him. Thats only what I think though, right? 

Kou: ...tc...

Scene Change: Vibora Clan’s Dungeon

Azusa: Eve... Are you alright....?

Yui: Yea. I’m sorry, Azusa. 

Yui: (Perhaps, Kou is on his way to the Viboras, as we were captured....)

Yui: (What am I supposed to do here? What do the Viboras want with me?)

Vibora Person A: Tsbaik is calling for you. ----Come. 

Yui: Kyaaa?!

Azusa jumps in the way

Azusa: Dont do it! Dont take Eve!

Vibora Person A: Tch! Get away, there’s no need for you!

Azusa is hit

Azusa: Ugahh!

Azusa falls down

Yui: Azusa!

Azusa: E-Eve, Escape!

Vibora Person A: Fuuh... Shut up vampire! 

Azusa: Guh......!

Yui: Stop hurting him! I’ll do what you say!

Azusa: ..uh... its.. no.. good.

Yui: It’ll be alright. Because, I am not worried. 

Yui: Please show me to where Tsbaik is....

Scene Change: Vibora Clan’s Castle Grand Hall

Tsbaik: .....

Yui: (..uh..This person is the Vibora clan’s king....Tsbaik...)

Tsbaik: Hey. Release her restraints. 

Vibora Person A: Understood. 

Yui: Eh....

Yui: (Why did he release me?)

Yui:----uh.....

Tsbaik: Fufu. Dont be scared. 

Tsbaik: You’re eve. Are you the bride from the demon world?

Yui’s Monologue (Its long, so again, I’m only putting the first screencap)

The Vibora clan’s king, Tsbaik, seemed heartfelt in the way greeted me, it can’t be imitated. 

It seemed that I was welcomed probably because of the fact that my heart’s owner, Cordelia, was the daughter of Burai, the king of the demon world. 

However, Even though Tsbaik’s words were confusing for me, It was a meaningful opportunity. 

Seeing that---- 

I asked about the state of the Vampire’s castle, but he only shrugged his shoulders. 

It is certain that there was an intrustion there. There is nothing to be afraid about, as I know there will be a letter to arrive. 

In his hand, he had the letter of the Vampire king, Subaru. 

I unexpectedly got weak and needed to lie down. 

Yui’s Monologue Ends

Yui: ....So, is Kou not coming cause it isn’t safe for him.....?

Tsbaik: Just because it wasn’t written in the letter, you’re worried if he’s alright or not? 

Yui: I guess its like that. 

Yui: (If Subaru had to write a letter, it must be some special circumstances,)

Yui: (Seems like that ever since the Sakamaki family was attacked, they’ve been doing strange things.)

Yui: (But, they are alright, I think....)

Yui: (Still, I am worried, Kou, what if you are suffering from an injury?)

Tsbaik: Even as a vampire, he seems to have your heart. You dont think its wrong, right?

Yui: Really?

Yui: (Tsbaik seems to be friendly and kindhearted....)

Yui: (However, this means I dont need to stay here, right?)

Yui: (I need to help Azusa out, and together, we can escape.....)

[00:15] “...Ah! Seems like you finally woke up! Ahー Thank god! You just kept on snoozing forever, for a second I thought you’d never wake up again!”

You look around, seeming confused.

“Eh? You want to know where you are...? Eeh...~ How cruel! You don’t recall? ーー Everything that happened before getting here, I mean.”

You flinch.

“Ahaha~ Seems like you remembered, huh? Exactly. I kidnapped you here~”

You ask him why.

[00:52] “...’Why’? You’ve been asking an awful lot of questions this whole time, haven’t you? Oh well, I guess it can’t be helped. After all, you’re currently stuck in pitch-black darkness. I guess it makes sense to grow anxious or scared...Fufufu~ But rest assured.”

*Rustle*

“I’ll explain the whole situation step by step, okay? First and foremost, you’re currently blindfolded, lying on top of my - Mukami Kou-kun’sーー

*Rustle*

ーー bed, you see~”

*Rustle rustle*

[01:31] “As for why I kidnapped you. Hmー There’s a few, but one of them would be because you’re a special human. ...Fufu~ Do you know what that means? It basically implies that you’re in a different league from just any other regular human out there. You might not be aware of it yourself, but to our species, your existence stands out as extraordinary.”

*Rustle*

“Actually, you know that already, don’t you? You’re being kept as a pet over at the Sakamaki manor after all.”

You protest.

“...Eh? You’re not being ‘kept’? Ah, sorry, sorry! I didn’t quite put it right, did I? I take back my words. More accurately, you’re their...prey, aren’t you?”

He pins you down.

*Thud*

[02:23] “Fufu...Ahahaha~ No need to look so dissatisfied. It’s the truth, isn’t it? Besides, that’s the second reason which made me interested in you so I dare argue it’s a good thing?”

*Creaaak*

“Hm? You want to know who I am? Didn’t I name myself earlier? You’ve got such bad memory.”

You shake your head.

[02:51] “Ah...That’s not what you meant? Ahー Gotcha. Hm...Can I spill the beans already? But I feel like Ruki-kun will give me an earful if I do and he’s a pain to deal with when he’s upset. ...Let’s see...~ Fufu...~ I’ll tell you when I feel like it, okay?”

*Creaaak*

“Anyway, I gave you an answer to your questions so happy now? More importantly, I want to know about you first. All sorts of things...~”

*Rustle*

[03:32] “We actually managed to get a hold of their weakness, so just like Ruki-kun is always saying, I should get an idea of what I’m dealing with. So to start off, I better do a little investigating to find out what exactly makes you so special...~”

*Rustle rustle*

“Fufu~ You’re shaking...My touch is still foreign to you, isn’t it? No need to be so scared though. I’m a nice guy after all.”

He pulls you close.

[04:04] “Here, I’ll stroke your head for you. ...Good girl, good girl...So stop trembling, okay?”

*Rustle*

“Hm...You’re more alert than I thought. Fufu~ You’re letting them have their way with you despite that?”

You protest again.

[04:28] “How odd...Or perhaps you’re simply feigning this cautious attitude? In that case, you’re one hell of a naughty kitten~ They say that a skillful hunter gets a kick out of going after highly alert prey and honestly, I think I may understand where they’re coming from. It’s boring when something is too easy to get. ーー I can already get my hands on pretty much everything I want through my job after all.”

*Rustle*

“...Ah! But I don’t really like how I’m implying those guys are skilled by saying that. What do you think? As the one they’re hunting for, how do you feel about them?”

You remain quiet.

[05:17] “Heeey~ Aren’t you going to answer? Giving me the silent treatment is a little mean, don’t you think? Hmー I guess it’s a little difficult of a question to start off with. In that case, let me ask you an easy one. Ah, right! How about this? ーー Does it really feel good to have them suck your blood? You know, does it make you feel like you’ve ascended to another world? Like your body is just floating mid-air~”

*Rustle*

“...No answer once again? You really are dull, geez. What will get you to talk? Should I ask you about your favorite spots? Or perhaps you really don’t care about those guys at all?”

*Rustle*

[06:12] “Ahー I’m kind of fed up with this already. I’m out here trying my best to be nice and all I get in return is the cold shoulder. What are you playing at?”

You explain.

“...You can’t say those things to someone you’ve only just met? Heh~ I see...That makes sense now that you mention it. In that case, I suppose I have to introduce myself  first.”

Track 2: Mukami Kou

He removes the blindfold.

*Rustle*

“Here. Take a cloooose look at my face. I removed your blindfold as well. See? I’m this close to you. Our lips could almost touch.”

You look straight at him.

[00:19] “...Fufu~ Can you see me? I guess I should say ‘nice to meet you’? I’m sorry for suddenly abducting you like that earlier~ However, it would have been difficult to take you away otherwise. I guess you could say it was the optimal timing? It really was my one chance.

...Say, are you the type who doesn’t watch television very often? Well, I guess you don’t strike me as a girl who would.”

You tilt your head to the side.

“Ah, no, I’m just talking to myself. I just figured that you’d probably recognize me if you watched TV every now and then. Not that it matters though.”

*Rustle*

[00:57] “But really, things went surprisingly well if I may say so myself. I’m sure those guys are frantically looking around for you right about now. After all, their precious little treat was snatched away from right underneath their nose, haha~! Fufu...Ahahaha! Just remembering those foolish expressions on their faces makes me laugh.”

*Rustle rustle*

“And I’m going to dig into their precious meal soon...Haah...Somehow just being this close to you makes my breath hitch.”

*Rustle*

“Is this what you’re capable of? Say, how come you’re this delicious?”

*Sniff sniff*

“...You smell amazing. What kind of scent is this? Hm...~”

Kou takes a deep breath.

[01:55] “I can’t get enough of it...I wonder where it’s coming from?”

*Sniff sniff*

“Not here...”

*Rustle*

“Then here maybe?”

*Sniff*

“I can’t quite tell through your clothes...”

*Rustle rustle*

“Why not take them off? It’s not like you need them, do you? ...Come on, hurry. The scent on the fabric is throwing me off.”

*Rustle*

“Come on, go ahead!”

You hesitate.

[02:29] “...Hurry up, will you? You might not guess it, but I’m not the most patient guy around. If you refuse to take them off yourself...You’re not going to have a good time.”

You refuse.

“...Tsk. Ahー What a fucking drag! Do you think I’m a joke or something? Do you have any idea what’ll happen if you oppose me like that?”

*Creaaak*

“Ugh...”

*Thud*

“I’ve gotten a little irritated you see. And once that happens, everything starts to annoy me. So that look you’re giving me...Ahaha...It pisses me off.”

*Rustle*

[03:12] “...I’m going to gauge out those eyes of yours, for real. I happen to kind of like that sorta stuff.”

You start taking off your clothes.

“...Huh? You’re gonna strip? Ahー So you’ve chosen to obey? How boring. I just had so many good ideas of things to do to you.”

*Rustle rustle*

“Anyway, if you’re just gonna bend to someone’s will in the end anyway, wouldn’t it be better to simply listen from the very start? Or did you want me to snap at you?”

You shake your head.

“Ah, I see! Right! You’re that kind of girl, aren’t you? You wanted me to lose my temper...so I’d treat you horribly, right? Fufu~ What an M-neko-chan you are~”

You seem confused by the nickname.

[04:03] “Hm? You want to know what ‘M-neko’ means? Isn’t that obvious? You’re more stupid than I thought. The ‘M’ is the same one as in ‘Do-M’, duh! Masochists, you know? You’re the type of girl who gets a kick out of the pain, aren’t you?”

*Creaaak*

“With that kind of personality, I can understand why you’d enjoy spending time with those guys. We’re capable of pleasing you in ways a regular human never could after all. Fufu...~ Is it true the pain is addictive?”

You try and explain.

[04:45] “When you put it like that, I almost want to turn into a human girl for one day and have a bunch of Vampires feast upon my blood~ Well, of course, I much prefer being the one doing the sucking. ...Aah, I was told this as well. Apparently having your blood sucked feels like strong currents of electricity running through your entire body, is that true? How nice~ I’m envious~”

You frown.

“That being said, I’d rather not get bitten myself. I’d love to get a taste of that pleasure, but I’d rather die than let some other Vampire pierce me with his fangs. Heh~ ...Ah, oh no, I’ve been rambling...”

*Rustle*

[05:39] “Come on, take those clothes off. I’ll figure out where this delicious scent is coming from first. You’re hiding it underneath that dull (1) outfit of yours, aren’t you? ーー Your precious secret~”

You start to take off the rest of your clothes.

“Fufu...Exactly~ You’ve got to show me your meek side like that, or else I might just poke your eyes out~”

You tell him you’re done.

[06:08] “...Eh? You took them off? Now don’t be ridiculous. When I say ‘strip’, I obviously meant everything, right? You move your jacket to the side a little and call that ‘taking off your clothes’? Heeh...You really must be making fun of me, aren’t you? ...Listen, I hate being ridiculed more than anything...There are many girls in this world who would kill to be in this kind of situation with me, you know? Yet here you are, living that dream...”

*Rustle*

“Ah, right! You’re just pretending to be embarrassed but you’re actually happy, aren’t you?”

*Rustle*

“Oh! Or perhaps...You want me to rip you apart? I would never resort to such violent actions though. I mean, there’s nothing fun about tearing apart someone who won’t even scream from the pain, is there? Fufu...~”

Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; More, Blood ー Azusa [Manservant Ending]

Monologue

I belong to Azusa-kun. 

And Azusa-kun belongs to me.

We shall live until our deaths,

yearning for each other like that.

I would not mind leaving my own life,

in Azusa-kun’s hands.

No, Azusa-kun is simply,

that important to me.

Azusa-kun.

You are the only treasure in my life.

These feelings are the absolute truth.

There is absolutely nothing you have to worry about from here on out.

Yet...

With each passing day,

Azusa-kun seemingly began to grow afraid of something.

What exactly,

is making him feel that way?

And what can I do for him?

No matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t find the answer.

I would simply feel the blood pumping through my veins grow hot,

as if it was trying to tell me something...

ー The scene starts in the living room

Kou: Anyway, I’m glad Azusa-kun is safe...I was really fearing the worst at some point. Right, Yuma-kun?

Yuma: ...Not really.

Kou: You say that now but you were actually worried sick, weren’t you~?

Yuma: Don’t be runnin’ yer mouth now.

Kou: I’m not telling lies! I got worried just watching the stress slowly eat away at you from the inside! (1)

Yuma: K-Kou! Stop spoutin’ random nonsense!

Kou: Nonsense? It’s nothing but the truth though.

Yuma: Oi! You bastard...!

Kou: Uwah! No violence in this house! Don’t just stand there watching and save me, M-neko-chan!

Yui: Ahaha...

( Fufu, like this, they’re really no different from humans. )

Azusa: ...

Yui: ( Huh...? )

Azusa: ...

...

Yui: ( I wonder what’s wrong? It’s almost as if he’s glaring at Kou-kun and Yuma-kun... )

Azusa-kun...?

Azusa: Ah...Yes?

Yui: You were spacing out, so I was wondering what’s up...

Azusa: Well...

...Let’s go, Yui.

Yui: Eh...?

ー Azusa drags her away

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the forest

Yui: Haah, haah, haah...

( He tugged me along so strongly, I couldn’t stop him... )

W-What’s wrong, Azusa-kun?

Azusa: ...

Yui: Kou-kun and Yuma-kun will be worried?

Azusa: Are you more concerned about those two?

Yui: T-That’s not what I meant but...

Azusa: But, that’s what you’re implying.

...Did they tell you something?

Yui: Eh...?

Azusa: ...Sorry...

...

Yui: Azusa-kun, is something wrong? You’re acting a little weird.

Azusa: That’sーー

...It’s nothing.

Haah...I really am sorry.

You’re right.

Let’s return to them.

Yui: Y-Yeah...

Azusa: ...

...Say, can I ask just one thing?

Yui: Yes?

Azusa: You’ll stay with me regardless of what happens, right?

Your feelings will never change, will they?

Yui: Yeah, they won’t.

Azusa: Really?

Yui: Yeah, really.

Azusa: I see...But...

I can’t...be the one. I can’t become Adam...

Somebody will eventually come take you away from me.

Yui: Azusa-kun, it’ll be okay. Nobody will come here, and I belong to you.

Azusa: No. You will be taken by someone, and there is simply nothing human feelings can do about that...

By Adam...By the people who are qualified to become Adam...!

I don’t want that...You’re the one person I don’t want to give up.

I’m begging you, don’t stray away from my side. Not physically, nor emotionally, not even the slightest bit...

Yui: Azusa-kun...

Don’t worry. I’m right here. By your side.

I’m not going anywhere.

Azusa: ...

Yeah...

Yui: ( ...I feel as if Azusa-kun is acting a little off after all. )

( I wonder what happened? )

Azusa: ...

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the classroom

Yui: Haah...

( I’ve been lacking sleep as of late because I’m so worried about Azusa-kun... )

( Ah...Ruki-kun might know something. )

Ruki-kun! Uhm...!

Ruki: ...Yes? Do you need something?

Yui: You see...Azusa-kun has been acting strange as of late.

Ruki: Azusa has?

Yui: Y-Yeah...

I was hoping you might know something more...

Ruki: ...

Yui: I’m not sure but...Could it be related to this Adam or Eve thing...?

Ruki: Well...

...No, it’s nothing. Best of luck figuring it out yourself.

ー Ruki steps away

Yui: Ah...

( He left... )

( But something really is going on. )

ー The scene shifts to the hallway at school

Azusa: ...

Yui: ( Azusa-kun...He looks as if he hasn’t been getting a wink of sleep lately. )

( His complexion is pale too... )

...Yui-san?

Yui: Y-Yes?

Azusa: You talked to Ruki today, didn’t you?

Yui: ( I wonder if he was watching from somewhere? )

I did but...Is something wrong with that?

Azusa: Stop that already.

Yui: Eh...?

Azusa: Don’t talk to anyone. It upsets me...so very much...

Yui: O-Okay, Azusa-kun.

...But Ruki-kun is your brother, right?

Azusa: I know that!!

*Thud*

Yui: !!

Azusa: Listen...? Not even to my brothers.

Especially because they are my brothers...You shouldn’t...

You can’t, Yui-san...

That’s what becoming Adam means...

Since you’re Eve, they’d be able to take you away from me with ease...

Yui: A-Azusa-kun?

Azusa: You’ll be taken from me...!

Yui: ( He can’t hear me. )

( I wonder how I should make him understand I won’t go anywhere? )

( Right...There’s only one way... )

( For Azusa-kun’s sake, I will... )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to Yui’s bedroom

Yui: ( ...Aah. I wonder what date today is... )

( How long has it been since I quit school and isolated myself in my room? )

( I haven’t been seeing anyone but Azusa-kun. )

( Haven’t been hearing anyone’s voices. )

( As if Azusa-kun is the only person alive on this earth. )

( But that’s fine... )

( Azusa-kun, this should do the trick, right? )

( Like this...You won’t be worried no more, right? )

( Azusa-kun... )

Yui: ...

( Aah...I...must have been asleep... )

( I wonder how much time has passed...? )

Azusa: ...Are you awake?

Yui: A...Azusa-kun...

Azusa: I was a little worried because you’ve been asleep for days.

Even if you would open your eyes every now and then, you’d doze back off right away.

Yui: I’m sorry, I...

Azusa: It’s fine.

I could watch you sleep for days, for years.

Yui: Azusa-kun...

Are you...okay now...?

I’ll stay by your side like this...forever and ever.

For your sake only.

Azusa: Yeah...Thank you...I stopped having worries.

Yui: I see...Thank god...

Say...But what exactly were you worried about...?

Azusa: It’s honestly pretty trivial once you voice it out loud.

I was afraid that you - being Eve - would be stolen from me by someone else.

That’s when...I came to the realiziation. 

...That I should simply make you mine already.

Surrender your everything to me, before you are taken away.

Yui: Azusa-kun...?

Azusa: Say...You don’t mind, rightーー?

ー Azusa bites her

Yui: Aah...!

Azusa: Don’t worry. I’m only sucking you dry.

Don’t protest.

You’re the only one I have left after allーー

Let’s become one...?

Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ll treasure you...

Okayーー?

Monologue

Azusa-kun simply continued to single-mindedly,

suck my blood.

My body would grow heavy per usual,

and once moved beyond that point,

my thoughts grew faint...

Aah, I truly believed that,

I could become one with Azusa-kun.

By turning into Azusa-kun’s,

blood and flesh,

I get to be with him forever.

I will be closer to him than anyone else.

ーー THE END ーー

Translation notes

(1) Literally Kou says he was afraid a hole would open in Yuma’s stomach. However, this expression can also refer to someone being extremely distressed.

Diabolik Lovers GRAND EDITION for Switch ;; More, Blood ー Laito [Manservant Ending]

ー The scene starts in the kitchen

Yui: All done...

Laito: Biiiiiiitch-chan~!

ー Laito embraces her from behind

*Rustle*

Yui: Kyah!!

Laito: Nfu~ I just can’t help but want to do this to a girl standing behind the kitchen counter, you see~? Nfu~

*Rustle*

Yui: ...! W-Wait, Laito-kun! I’m using the stove right now so it’s dangerous! Get away!

Laito: When you tell me ‘stay away!’, it only makes me less likely to actually do so.

Yui: You’ll burn yourself, you know?

Laito: Who do you think I am? I’m a Vampire. I don’t need to worry about a burn or two.

More importantly, what are you making?

Yui: A pasta dish. Something light and refreshing, so I went with vongole bia...

Laito: Vongole bianco...

Yui: ...? Is something wrong?

Laito: No! It’s nothing. Say...Let me try some...

Yui: It’s not ready ye...L-Laito-kun...! Where are you touching...!!?

Laito: Haah...For some reason, I want to just gobble you up right here, right now~

*Rustle*

Yui: ...You can’t...Wait just a little longer...

Laito: Nfu~ ...So if I wait a little, you’ll give me an ok? Honestly, you never change, Bitch-chan...

You’re so lewd, aren’t you?

Yui: ...!!

Laito: I can’t wait...I want you right now...You don’t mind doing it while standing, do you?

Yui: Ah...!!

( I wonder what got into him all of a sudden...? )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the school library

Yui: ( Even though he’s still being his usual self...I just can’t help but feel as if something is slightly off... )

( I’m glad Laito-kun admitted to his own feelings and went back to normal but... )

Kou: Been a while, huh! Seems like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders? (1) Did things get better? 

Yui: Ah, Kou-kun! It really has been forever...! Yeah...It might all be thanks to you, you know.

Kou: Hmm. Well, I didn’t really do anything though. Instead...Close your eyes for a sec?

Yui: Eh? Okay...

ー Yui closes her eyes

*Rustle*

Kou: ...There we go. You had an eyelash stuck there.

Yui: Thank you!

Kou: Well, I wish you both the best. As much as it pains me...I guess I have no other choice but to back off.

Yui: ...Uhm...

Kou: Don’t apologize, okay~? I’m pretty popular with these looks of mine, you see? I’m an idol after all.

Yui: Yeah. Fufu, makes sense.

*SCENE SHIFT*

Laito: ...

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to Yui’s bedroom

Yui: Pwah...

( It’s still light outside (2), yet I woke up for some reason... )

( Lately my body has completely gotten used to the nocturnal lifestyle though, so I’m still really sleepy... )

( It’ll be evening in a few... )

( I guess I can take it easy for once...Right. I’ll flip through the magazines I bought yesterday. )

( Perhaps I should be a little more like your average high school girl as well and buy some new clothes... )

*Flip*

Yui: ( I wonder if it’d make Laito-kun happy too? ...Well, I feel like he’d just say I don’t need clothes. )

*Flip*

Yui: Ah, it’s Kou-kun.

( Seeing him inside a magazine like this, he really does look like an idol...Of course, he’s even more handsome in real life... )

( I haven’t fully grasped the concept behind ‘an idol’ either... )

???: What are you grinning at?

Yui: !?

Laito: Why are you so surprised? It’s just me. 

Yui: How long have you been there!?

Laito: Instead I’d like to ask you...What are you doing, awake all by yourself while everyone else’s still sleeping soundly? 

Yui: What...? I was just looking at some magazines...

Laito: Magazines that feature him?

Yui: Ah, that’s just a coincidence. He’s an idol after all, so he appears quite often in these kind of magazines geared towards female high school students.

Laito: What were you gonna do with that?

Yui: Eh? W-What do you mean?

Laito: Nfu~ ...Don’t play dumb now. Bitch-chan...I can read you like a book, you know?

ー He pins her down on the bed

Yui: Kyah!!

Laito: You like him, don’t you?

Yui: W-What are you saying!? I like you, Lai...

Laito: Even though you were smooching in the library the other day?

Yui: W-We didn’t do that...! Although did suck my blood...

Laito: Not that time. I’m talking about yesterday.

Yui: ...!? What are you saying? Nothing happened!?

Laito: I saw it, though?

Yui: ...!! Let go of my hands...It hurts...!

Laito: You claimed to...love me and all that jazz...But in the end, those were lies after all, huh? ...Nfu...~ 

Yui: It’s all...a misunderstanding!!

Yesterday we only...talked...!

...!

*Rustle*

Laito: !!

Yui: ...Cough...

Laito-kun, what’s wrong...? You’re acting weird...?

Laito: ...Weird?

Yui: Exactly. You were never...the type of guy to get jealous and grow suspicious of me...If anything...

Weren’t you more so someone who got a kick out of pushing me towards others...?

Laito: You’re right...Exactly...Yeah. That’s right...I wonder why...I turned out like this...?

I can’t seem to control my emotions very well...I’m sorry, Bitch-chan...

Something was wrong with me...

Yui: ...

ー Laito leaves the room

Yui: ( ...For some reason...I fee llike I’m only making Laito-kun suffer even more... )

( Someone like him who was always able to suppress his emotions and keep them in check... )

( Can now no longer fight back against them...being swept away by his own feelings... )

*TIMESKIP*

ー The scene shifts to the school’s backyard

Yui: ( Either way, I have to avoid taking any weird actions until Laito-kun learns to control his own emotions. )

( Like things that would make him jealous, or make him suspect me... )

Kou: What’s thisー? I was wondering why you weren’t in the library, but this is where you’ve been, huh? Whatcha up to?

Yui: ...Kou-kun...! S-Stay away!

Kou: Hah? What are you saying out of the blue? Something happened?

Yui: Ah, sorry...But, now’s not the right time...If you have some business with me, can you talk from there?

Kou: ...Well, it’s nothing serious. I was thinking of giving you these tickets for a concert. I’ve got two of them.

Yui: Eh? This is...For yours? T...Thank you.

( I feel bad now. Even though Kou-kun’s this nice to me... )

Kou: ...Anyway, what has gotten into you? You seem really distant all of a sudden?

Yui: ...

Kou: If it’s because of him, let me just ask this. Why now? (3)

Yui: ...You see...

ー Yui explains

Kou: Heeh. That guy’s jealous, huh? ...That’s pretty interesting.

Yui: It isn’t at all. It seems like he’s struggling with it as well...

I wonder if it’s my fault...?

Kou: You really are...a miss goody-two-shoes, aren’t you?

ー Kou suddenly moves closer

*Rustle*

Yui: ...!?

Kou: It’s fascinating, don’t you think? I kind of want to see just how far we can push him though?

Yui: What are you saying...!? 

*Rustle*

Kou: I wonder what he’ll do if I were to suck your blood right now? Aren’t you curious?

Yui: I’m not! Stop...!!

I don’t want to confuse Laito-kun any more...Let me g...!!

*RIIIIIIIP*

ー Kou bites her

Kou: ...Nn...Haah...

Yui: ( His fangs are...in my shoulder...!! )

You can’t...Cut it out...!

Kou: It’ll be fine. Let’s just enjoy ourselves...Okay? It’s not like the two of you are dating, right?

Yui: ...That’s...

Laito: I knew it.

*THUD*

ー The scene shifts to the torture chamber

Yui: ーー Uu...Kuh...

*Cling cling*

Yui: This is...

Laito: Are you awake...Bitch-chan?

Yui: Uu...Laito-kun...What on earth...?

Laito: Nfu. Are you memories all jumbled up because you got hit? Nfu...Let me tell you then.

You were having ‘fun’ with that guy despite claiming to love me...

So I dragged both of you to the torture chamber, as you can see. Nfu~ 

Yui: Torture chamber...!? What about Kou-kun? I don’t see him around.

*Cling*

Laito: ...

Yui: Say, what happened to Kou-kun!?

*Cling*

Laito: What are you worried about him...?

Yui: ...Well...He’s someone I know after all. 

I’m sure that if something were to happen to your family, you’d be worried as we...

Laito: I wouldn’t be.

Yui: ...Why not?

Laito: Why, you ask? I have you after all.

Yui: ...Laito-kun...!?

Laito: Which is why I can’t let this slide. Whether it’s you looking at other guys, or thinking about them, let alone come into contact them...

I’m the only one who should ever be reflected in your eyes...No, I should be the only one you need as well, right?

Yui: Calm down...Laito-kun...

Laito: I know...

*Cling*

Yui: What are you...going to do with that knife...?

Laito: Nfu~ Say, Bitch-chan...Ever heard of silkworms?

Yui: Silkworms...?

Laito: They are bugs kept by humans to make silk threads...

Silkworms are insects which have been thoroughly tamed.

They’ve forgotten their true nature as bugs, simply living on until they eventually die as livestock...

The worms desire this as well, and humans can make profit through them...In a sense, you could say this is the ultimate form of love.

Yui: ...Laito...kun!

Laito: Which is why I was thinking...perhaps I should take a lesson out of this story, and turn you into a bug as well? Nfu~

Yui: Stop...!

Laito: If I do that, both of us can be happy. We can give each other the most beautiful kind of love, right?

*Cling*

Yui: ...!!

Laito: Kukuku...Bitch-chan, you’re so cute...

You’re the one who told me about this ‘love’ thing, you know?

I like you. I love you.

*Cling*

Yui: ...Cut it...out...Laito-kun...Why are you doing this...?

Laito: It’s no use, I won’t let you get away...You’ll become my butterfly. A beautiful butterfly...only for me...

Well then, let’s forget about everything...and do something nice...okay?

All you need to do...is be my pet forever.
