I'm pretty sure this is very out of character... but I'm having fun!

Something that Yui came to know well about Shuu is that he could be almost anywhere at any given time. On their first encounter, she found him laying in her bathtub, fully dressed and soaked in the freezing water. He teased her about the encounter, saying she just wanted to see him naked. Of course that wasn't her intention, but she couldn't stop the blushes, and Shuu seemed greatly entertained by that.

She had found him in the living room, on each couch at least once. On more than one occasion, he was in the kitchen, laying across the counter top. It was bizarre simply because sleeping on stone sounded quite uncomfortable and a bit silly. Yui would take a seat and silently eat her food with Shu only inches away. He would tell her to not chew so loudly, each and every time.

While wandering the grounds and gardens, she found him laying on the benches. He would be lounging, one arm across his stomach while the other rested against his side. Each time, Yui passed by him, she would pause and admire him, then quickly scuttle away before he could notice her and tell her to piss off. Even though he spoke like he was tired and acted as if he was unable to stand from exhaustion, she was fearful of what he would do if he got angry enough. His lack of speech, perhaps, made him more frightening. Even Ayato and Laito seemed convinced that Shuu was far more powerful than he let others believe.

If she ever got lonely during school, or needed to escape Laito's grabby hands, she could find Shuu in the music room. He would complain about her being there, of course; however, after the third or fourth time that she joined him in there, he stopped bothering with complaints. He would just lay there and not move or speak and Yui would sit down in a chair across from him. When it was quiet enough, she could hear, very faintly, the music coming from Shuu's MP3 player. While it was a bit difficult to hear, she could tell it was clearly classical music. She could hear the humming of pianos and singing of violins.

On some days, when he had turned it up louder, if she was really quiet and listened carefully, she could hear it well. Yui could get lost in the melody, just the same as Shuu did, though not to the same extent.

As time passed, Yui spent more and more time with Shuu. At first, it seemed impossible. The boy was either asleep, half-dead, in a temporary comatose, or just ignored her during most of the time they spent together. She would sit there and either stare at him or the wall and just sigh at the situation. Eventually, she found at least some solace in their time together.

Not long after that, she was able to tell the difference between him being asleep or awake. The patterns in his breathing would shift. Normally, he was completely still and silent, like a beautiful corpse. When he fell asleep, his breathing became audible, light whispers. She knew better than to ever tell him this. He probably would avoid her even more than he already did.

Feasting became a regular part of her life, as well.

If he was in the mood, he would beckon her over, taunt her a little, and then drink her blood as if nothing else in this world would satisfy him - and she believed that too be true. He liked to drink from different places. Sometimes he would lay her on top of himself and drink from her chest, right above her breasts. Other times, she would sit next to him while he lay sprawled out, and he would suckle from a tiny wound on her wrist - that he had caused, of course. Once or twice, he nibbled on a finger or her palm. He would suck harshly on her neck when he was in a bad mood... or feeling extra spunky.

One thing never changed. While he often preferred to insult her, he always complemented her while he drank her blood. Your blood is of the finest quality... Mmm, yes, make that face... You're arousing me with those sounds... The list went on and on. When he was done, he would fall asleep and not care what she did after. She could stay or leave and he new none of it.

It didn't take long for his feasts to become a regular routine for her. In fact, if he didn't drink from her for more than a couple days, Yui would begin to worry. She would wonder if she smelt bad or if he was angry with her. She surprised herself simply because she looked forward to it. She longed for him to caress her and drink from her as though she was the only thing keeping him grounded. Sometimes, she would search for him so she could wake him and hear him growl...

"Take responsibility, for you are the one who woke me," before pulling her in so he could satisfy his thirst.

As time went on, Yui became more and more aware of her longing for Shuu; she was surprised with her new feelings.

During an uneventful Saturday, Yui ran around the mansion until she could find Shuu. It was a well known fact that being with him helped prevent the other brothers from attacking her. Perhaps it was because he was the oldest that the younger brothers would avoid him. She wondered if it was out of spite... or fear. After running around for at least an hour, she found him lounging on one of the benches outside.

Yui approached him as quietly as could be, hoping her shoes didn't click too loudly on the pavement. Unfortunately, his eyes opened and he gave her a pathetic, uninterested glare.

"What," he sharply whispered. It did not sound so much as a question, but more of a statement. She knew he could care less about a real answer. He just wanted her to leave and he didn't want to put in the effort. Strangely, she felt unafraid of him. Yui had a strong feeling it was simply because she knew he wouldn't get up and do anything about it. He would complain for a second and then go back to sleeping.

That was exactly what he did.

To keep herself occupied, Yui wandered from rose bush to rose bush, ensuring she never moved too far from Shuu. She feared he would teleport away from her, that she would look back and he would be gone. Poof. Vanished. Luckily, every time she glanced back at the bench, his sleeping form was still there, earbuds tucked nicely into his ears, and his chest would rise and fall with his breaths.

The sun was not super bright today; in fact, it was rather cloudy outside. Perhaps that was why he chose to sit outside.

At some point while wandering the rose bushes, Yui noticed something tiny and fuzzy crawling along one of the rose stems. She smiled and cautiously reach into the brush to retrieve the tiny bug, having a strong feeling of what it was. Sure enough, as it crawled along her palm, she knew immediately it was a caterpillar. It was definitely well fed as the tiny bug was fat, almost looking more like a slug in her palm. She giggled as it tickled her palm, wiggling around harmlessly.

"What the hell is that?" a voice snarled. While his words might have been uncharacteristic, his tone was on spot. Yui tilted her head back and, sure enough, Shuu was standing closely behind her, looking down at her with his typical, stoic expression. Some blonde locks had fallen over his brow. She watched his eyes examine the creature in her palm and his face change from uninterested to disgust.

"A worm! Ugh! Why the hell would you touch that?" he snapped at her.

"It's a caterpillar," Yui muttered, shocked by his response. She turned around to face him and he stepped away from her. Was he actually afraid of this tiny little insect? There was no way.

"Disgusting," he snarled.

"Shuu, it's just a-" Yui went silent when Shuu vanished before her eyes. She blinked and he was gone, teleporting away from her in the mere blink of an eye. With a heavy frown, she glanced down at the bug in her palm. "He was so bothered just by this..." she thought to herself as she carefully set the caterpillar back onto one of the bushes leaves.

As suspected, the clouds only got darker and thicker as the day went on. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon and rain began pouring down. The sounds of water hitting the rooftop created a bizarre melody inside the house. Yui wandered the mansion, aimlessly moving about, unsure of why the place had become so silent. She could normally hear Kanato singing to himself, but he was quiet today. She had not seen Shuu since the incident in the garden. Ayato and Laito were missing, though she didn't dare complain about that. The last person she saw was Reiji, and she did not want to bother him. Honestly, he was more terrifying than Shuu was.

Eventually, she realized that she did not really know where any of the boy's rooms were. She was lucky if she could find her room in this maze-like place. It was tempting to go back and find Reiji, just to ask him if he knew where Shuu had gone to. She wanted to apologize for frightening him - of course, she wouldn't even think about wording it like that.

Yui never got up the nerve to ask Reiji that question. She paced back and forth, considered asking him, and then decided it was a horrible idea. It was no secret that he didn't like Shuu. He definitely wouldn't want to help Yui find him.

Just as she turned a corner to another hallway, her foot hit something. She immediately lost balance and toppled to the ground. Sprawled out on her stomach, bottom in the air, Yui groaned. She managed to, somewhat, cushion her fall with her forearms. After regaining a bit, she turned to the thing that tripped her. Shuu was leaning against the wall, his legs stretched out, which were precisely what she was laying on.

His eyes slowly opened and he looked at her with his typical, stoic expression.

"Oh, are you done playing with the bug?" he muttered. Yui didn't reply right away as she was struggling to get back up. Shuu watched her, slight amusement on his face. Yui tried to avoid placing her hands on him, but ended up accidentally laying a hand on his thigh so she could prop herself up. Once she was finally seated beside him, she quickly drew her hand back, as though she had been burned. He looked amused and it kind of angered her.

"I'm sorry about the cate-" she begin, but her cut her off.

"Falling all over me, eh?"

Yui glared at him, though it was more comical than frightening. "You tripped me, Shuu," she said as-a-matter-of-factly. "I'm sorry about the bug-" she tried again and he, once more, interrupted her.

"You woke me up," he tossed back at her. "-and then, you straddled me."

"I did not-" she tried to defend, but he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall, as if planning to go back to sleep, and ignored her. She huffed and decided to let it go for the time being. She could always mention the caterpillar later...

"If you're so sleepy, why don't you sleep in your room, Shuu?" she suggested. Yui watched him for a moment, as the boy took forever to reply to her. She admired the way his long eyelashes curled against his closed lids and the flawlessness in his pale skin. His blonde locks were curled beautifully against his brow and she resisted the urge to touch it. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes and looked at her.

"I might as well. Since you are just going to sit there and stare at me," he muttered, staring into her eyes, unblinking, with a fierce gaze.

Yui stood up and looked down at Shuu, expecting him to stand up, as well; however, he didn't move. He just stared at her. After a few seconds, he finally said something.

"Aren't you going to carry me there?" he asked. Yui stared at him, mouth hanging open. She honestly could not tell if he was serious or not.

"I can't carry you, Shuu," she finally answered.

"Hn. Well, aren't you completely useless."

Yui crossed her arms and glared at him. "I am not useless, Shuu."

He hummed in response and got off the wall. He slowly turned his head from one side, then to the next, loudly popping it twice. It was only at this moment that Yui realized that he was wearing his school uniform, the same one he wore yesterday. It was wrinkled; she wondered if Reiji complained to him about it. It was very likely that he did.

Shuu, oddly enough, did not teleport to his bedroom, but walked. She was able to follow closely behind him because of this. She wanted to ensure that he made it there and did not collapse on the floor. She expected him to make a snappy comment about her following; oddly enough, he was quiet.

Eventually, they arrived at a door she had seen a million times. Shuu casually strolled in and Yui hesitantly followed. Although she had not touched the door, it somehow closed behind her and startled her in the process. Shuu didn't bother turning on any lights. The room was dim, lighten up by the gray haze of light coming in through the large window. He had a massive bed, a couch, amongst other necessities.

Shuu stood at the foot of his bed and faced Yui. He stared at her as if he expected something. After she stared back in silence for a minute, he finally spoke.

"Honestly. You aren't even going to undress me?"

Yui frowned deeply at his comment. "Shuu... you can't undress yourself?"

"You followed me in here to see me naked, didn't you?" he said, allowing a tiny smirk to grace his features.

Yui huffed. "No. I wanted to make sure you were safe!" her words were insistent, but she knew he did it only to press her buttons.

"You're a horrible liar."

"I'm not lying, Shuu!" Yui insisted, even stomping her foot in frustration.

He chuckled at her and the sound shot electricity down her spine. She had never heard Shuu laugh like that. It was sincere; although, he seemed to forget about it immediately for his expression changed back to his typical, uninterested scowl. He stepped backwards and was about to lay down, but Yui stopped him by grabbing the front of his shirt and yanking him slightly towards her.

"Fine, Shuu."

He watched Yui with great amusement as she slowly undressed him. She knew she was blushing because she could feel the heat in her cheeks. Her heart was beating wildly, too, and she mentally scolded herself for the reaction.

"Your heartbeat is really loud..." he complained, and she decided it was best to ignore him.

She removed the first layer of his school uniform and then folded it carefully before placing it on the bed. She then began undoing the buttons on his collared shirt. Her fingers were trembling, causing her to take longer to undo each button. Shuu simply stared down at the girl, completely still. Her fingers slid across his skin, accidentally. He was soft and warm, oddly enough. Once she got all the buttons, she grasped the top part of the shirt and slid it down his arms. He did not move or help, at all, just watched. Yui avoided his gaze with embarrassment.

He was flawless and it almost annoyed her, because it made concentration more difficult. He was beautiful, slightly muscular, but lean, with perfect, pale skin. His shoulders were wide and he towered over her, almost frighteningly. After folding his shirt and placing it at the corner of his bed, she stopped undressing him. She turned to leave, but he grasped her forearm and whipped her back around.

"You aren't done yet," he said in a way that was so matter-of-factly that it almost sounded childish.

She gulped at the odd way he murmured to her. "Your pants, too...?" she whispered back, a little annoyed with herself because of how pathetic she sounded.

He hummed in response and placed her tiny hands at the front of his pants. They were hanging low, just a bit, and gave her a view of the curve of his hips and the distinctive V-lines that curved towards his - another gulp.

"You're having fun, aren't you?" He teased, breathing lightly on her forehead. "Dirty girl."

She wanted to tell him no; but, not only would that be a lie, it would sound like a lie. He would catch her lying and it would be a disaster. She unconsciously licked her lips when she gripped the hem of his pants and Shuu exhaled a brief chuckle in response.

Yui was careful as she unbuttoned his pants and slid the zipper down. She kept her eyes on his shoulder, unsure of what else to look at. It seemed that she would become too flustered if she looked anywhere else. As she slid the zipper down, her hand grazed his crotch. His hips jerked, barely, but she still noticed it. He was hard. Oohh. Damn. Now unzipped, his pants slid to the floor, leaving him in nothing but the MP3 tied around his neck and a pair of boxers.

"-when you fell on me," he breathed into her ear, grasping her hand and forcing it to touch his crotch. He rubbed her palm against his half-hard erection. "You want it, don't you?"

"N-n... Shuu," she pathetically whimpered, trying to remove herself from his grasp. She wiggled around pathetically.

"Come here," he demanded, breathing heavily into her hair. He dragged her with him to the bed as he stepped backwards. She was helpless to resist. Once the back of his knees touched the edge of the bed, Shuu let his body go limp and his back hit the bed with an almost inaudible thump. Yui was still standing, now with her knees pressed against the edge of the bed, between his slightly parted legs. One of his arms was laying on the bed while his other hand was holding the side of her neck.

He pulled her in, forcing her to arch her body over him. For leverage, one of her hands pressed against his unclothed chest and she unconsciously hummed at the softness. His lips gently caressed hers. It was a quick kiss for he immediately released her lips and pressed his forehead against hers. He stared into her eyes and breathed heavily against her lips, "don't resist me. I can smell your sex. You want me."

His blue orbs stared longing into hers. She didn't want to resist him... He was right. She wanted him. He kissed her again and she tried not to whimper; however, when his erection brushed against her abdomen, the whimper slipped from her lips. When he pulled back, he smirked, and she was done for.

I read somewhere that Shuu is afraid of worms... I couldn't resist.

Please let me know what you think!
I plan to update with the other half real soon!
