"M-Neko-chan! Come out come out wherever you are!"

Yui tried to breathe as silently as humanly possible, but she knew it was futile. Sooner or later he'd catch her scent, and it'd be over. She had overhead the Mukami brothers discussing a new addition to the 'Adam' plan and she got scared. So she ran. But what was she hoping to gain? There was nowhere to run, after all.

"Here kitty, kitty~" his giggles were unmistakable, and his footsteps were too close for comfort.

"Found ya!"

She screamed as he picked her up, and struggled against his hold. "Put me down! Please!"

He giggled some more. "No can do! Ruki's orders."

She continued to struggle, but Kou just laughed. "Eve is particularly feisty today."

"My name's not Eve!" she said breathlessly for the millionth time. Why did they insist on calling her so? She was no Eve. She was just Yui…

He finally tossed her down on one of the living room couches. All four Mukami brothers stared back at her.

"Please," she begged, "I don't want to-"

"It's not up to you, Livestock. These are orders from that person, and so we shall follow them without question."

"It's the only way to become Adam after all!" Kou bubbled.

"Eh…Eve…pick me…ok?"

"I'm not Eve! I've tried to tell you all-"

"Quiet Sow! Hurry up and choose already! This is making me damn anxious."

Yui trembled. To become Adam, they were told they had to…she couldn't even complete the thought.

She had never done such a thing. To be forced to do it with all of them…what type of woman did that make her? But if it was against her will, did that count for anything? Would God forgive her for a sin such as this one? If she refused they'd only force it on her all the more. So, at least, for now, she was given the liberty of choice.

Was it truly a liberty, though?

She looked at the four brothers, trying to decide the fate that would be the least traumatic. Which one would be patient enough, the first time? She knew it would hurt, but maybe one of them would be compassionate enough…

Her heart began to beat in erratic patterns. Were any of them compassionate? They had been humans before, but any trace of that seemed to have vanished long ago.

She glanced over at Azusa. He was kind. More so than the other brothers. Perhaps he would be the best option. But then again, he was quite intent on creating pain. If she let him know that she was hurting, he wouldn't stop. He might even make it worse. Her breathing hitched. Did he have his knife on him? If he did then that would most definitely end painfully. Not to mention that he would then insist on her 'returning the favor,' so to speak. Hard as she tried she couldn't understand him. How could pain bring someone joy?

Then there was Yuma. He never exactly hurt her on purpose, but he was so big that his actions were just brusque by nature. Her eyes widened as she realized she might be crushed just by having his weight on hers. She was practically half his size, after all. But looking at him, he appeared to be just as uneasy as she was. Maybe…maybe he wouldn't go through with it? Was that a likely scenario? She didn't know. She didn't want to know. He didn't have very much patience though. He might get it done and over with quickly, but she would be forced to endure the pain. Of course, it'd be nothing compared to Azusa's pain…

Ruki was staring at her with such intense eyes. She wanted to almost call them passionate, but she knew that even if it was passion, it was not directed towards her. The only passion he had was for the plan of Adam. She knew he wanted this the most. She didn't know why becoming Adam was so important to him, or why it was something that needed to happen in the first place, but from the fire burning in his eyes she knew he needed it. Cringing, she remembered his bites. They could be rather unforgiving. Would he be the same way, in this situation? She couldn't imagine him to be very romantic. His actions would be quite platonic, and, maybe if she did as he said, he'd show a bit of mercy towards her. If she played the role of a good livestock and listened to her master…

She shook her head. What was she thinking? Is this what brainwashing was? Even still, there was no doubt that Ruki would be quite mechanical about it all. So maybe it would hurt the least with him.

When she stole a glance at Kou, he winked at her. She couldn't help but bite her lip. As an idol, he probably had the most experience with women, out of the four brothers. So maybe he would be understanding enough to where he wouldn't try and hurt her on purpose. But there was no telling with Kou. Which version of him would she end up with? Like his eyes, he displayed dual personalities. Would she get the calm sky-like blue, or the fiery hell of red that was ready to snap at any given moment? She suddenly began to feel incredibly dizzy. Which Kou was the real Kou?

"Gah, this is pissing me off!" Yuma slammed his fist into the coffee table.

"Yuma." Ruki scolded calmly.

"What the hell is taking her so damn long for? Oi, Sow, just pick one of us already!"

Ruki held up his hand to silence his brother, and walked calmly up to Yui. "We will let the blood of Eve decide."

Yui trembled in her place, not sure what he meant. Were they all going to suck her blood at once? She'd die…

Ruki backed away and tore out some pages of a nearby magazine. He quickly scribbled a few things, and flipped them over.

"Go on, Livestock. Choose."

She stared at the four men in front of her. Choose? From random scraps of paper? Was this all some sort of game?

"Don't be shy, M-Neko-chan! If you're lucky it'll be me!"

With a shaking hand she reached over to the table, not fully realizing which piece she had chosen. She flipped it around, reading the name that glared back at her, her mouth going dry.

"Y-Yuma-kun."

A/N: Guys I'm so depressed. All of their stories are so sad *bawls* But in any case, welcome to the Mukami version! *cheers* If I could be so bold as to kindly ask for everyone's patience on this one, since I'll be heading back to school next week so updates may not be completely regular :/ So now I have to ask, where my fangirls at? I know all of your Sakamaki favorites, but what about Mukami? In me-like fashion, I can't decide! Hehe ugh I should get better at decision making. Once again, thank you all for your support for Bitten, and I'm looking forward to meeting and chatting with even more of you this time around ^_^ For all my Shuu and Reiji people, that fic is now up and running as well, under 'Masks of Glass' if you haven't already checked it out. Don't forget to review! Let the Mukami shenanigans begin! Happy reading~
