Thought that I was done huh? Well actually a friend of mine from DeviantArt actually convinced me to start sequel of The Six Brides. So you can thank him/ her for that. Anyways! Here is the first chapter of Eve and The Six Brides!! Enjoy!

Chapter 1

The moon is full and it's shining bright in the night sky and down below are a pack of wolves with red auras, galloping through the forest. A shadow is engulfing the full white moon and the one-eyed vampire with bright red hair grins.

"The time is finally upon us." He turns his head. "Brother."

A man waves his hand and the wolf beside him disappears. He has long white hair with red tips and yellow golden eyes.

"Yes. Now we will have our vengeance."

The white moon is engulfed by the darkness and it turns into a full red blood moon.

"Then for the future of the founders, let us begin." The one-eyed vampire grins sadistically.

~(XXX)~

The bright orange sun is setting in the horizon and hidden within the vast forest, resides the Sakamaki mansion, which contains six residents that happen to be all full blooded vampire brothers: Shu, Reiji, Ayato, Kanato, Laito, and Subaru Sakamaki.

Soon the number of the residents within the mansion increased into a number of twelve as soon as the church sent six sacrificial brides for them to awaken. The brides were the Tanaka sisters: Rena, Sayori, and Aina. The individual brides with no relations with any family were Selena Nai, Luna Odachi, and finally Yui Komori.

These brides were meant for two things to these men. And that was to slake their every thirst whenever desired and to be awakened whenever a full blood moon arose.

This tradition with mortal brides has been going on for centuries as they hopelessly tried to awaken one into becoming a vampire. But unfortunately many of the previous brides they tried to awaken have lost their lives to the painful process. None of them have ever survived the Awakening until now.

Yui Komori was the first bride to ever survive the Awakening. It is because she obtained the heart of a full blooded vampire, Cordelia Sakamaki, the first wife of Karlheinz and the mother of the triplets, Laito, Kanato and Ayato.

Compared to her, the rest of the brides had a very low chance of surviving the process since they were just ordinary mortal women but they somehow managed to awaken anyway. There was no logical explanation of how they survived but the best they could come up with is true love.

Each vampire chose a bride to feed on and once they all got to know each other personally, they slowly but surely fell in love. And now since the brides have awakened as vampires, the brothers claimed them as their lovers or mates-for-life as they have planned for them. And they do not intend of letting them go.

Luna slowly begins to stir awake as she starts to see the sun shining through the dark red curtains in the dark room. She sits up and looks down to the other side of the bed where her short tempered vampire lover, Subaru, slept. She smiles softly at his peaceful slumber and her fingers start to brush his side bangs away from his face. He looks so at ease when he's asleep and she finds that adorable.

She gasps when he's suddenly on top of her, holding onto her wrist in a firm but harmless grip. She blushes at his lusting gaze and her blood thirst starts to rise when she eyes his neck. She tenses up when the tsundere vampire clasps his hands with hers and intertwined their fingers together as suppresses a moan when he licks her neck.

"S-Subaru-kun!"

"What? You don't like it when I do this?" He licks her neck again.

"I just-mmm!! I'm still new to this!" She squirms, trying not to enjoy this so much.

"Well you better get used to it fast. Because I can't restrain myself when I'm with you. Now be a good girl and let me drink from you."

"Huh?!" she blushes more.

"You can drink my blood too, I can already tell that you're thirsty as I am."

"B-But Subaru-kun!! The rules are that we can't-"

"Oh just shut up."

He sits her up and moves her hair aside before sinking his fangs on her neck. Now that she's been a vampire for a while, Subaru's bites no longer make her feel pain whenever he bit her. Now all she feels is the riveting pleasure and ecstasy which always made her and Subaru go crazy at each other. She moans as he gulps down her blood and she stares at his bare shoulder.

She licks her dry lips and gently grabs his shoulders and extracts her fangs before biting down. His grip on her gets tighter and he groans when she starts to drink. She moans when his sweet blood coats her throat and runs her hands up his bare back, which makes him fall forward on top of her. Heated kisses are exchanged as soon as their thirsts are satisfied. Luna runs her hands through his white hair while his run down her slender hips and legs.

"I love you Subaru-kun." she whispers breathlessly. "I love you Luna."

They share a long kiss and before things could go any farther, a throat clears itself and they freeze.

~(XXX)~

Sayori sleeps soundly in her warm bed until she feels a pair of lips and fangs brushing her shoulder.

"Morning Little Bitch." Laito cooed in her ear before kissing her neck again. "I was wondering when you were gonna wake up. I'm incredibly thirsty today."

She groans groggily and shrugs her shoulder up, keeping her annoying and persistent boyfriend away from her.

"Laito-kun, it's too early." She grumbles tiredly. "Lemme sleep for God's sakes." She yawns.

She yanks the covers up and over her head and Laito grins in amusement as he places his hand on her hip.

"My you really are a drama queen, aren't you Little Bitch?"

"And you are really wanting to die today, aren't you?" she shoots back. "Need I remind you, my body has been transformed into a deadly weapon now. I could easily snap your twig body in half!"

"Oh come on baby, don't be so cruel. Why don't you come out so we can have some fun together hm?" He tears off the covers and starts to fondle her, ignoring her enraged protests.

"Ah what the- Laito-kun! You son of a bitch! Don't touch- ah Laito-kun!! Get your hands off- I swear to God!! Laito-kun!!!"

He finally manages to pin her down and crush his lips on hers. He purposely seduces her with his mouth in order to let her anger fade and resurface the lust that's inside her. She tries to fight the urge to submit to him but the way he's handling and kissing her is just too much for her to handle. He knows how to make her bend at his will and he will always know her ultimate weaknesses which she hates but also loves about him.

Feeling her thirst rising, Sayori roughly grabs two handfuls of his white dress shirt and yanks it open before biting down on his collarbone. She reverses their position where she's now on top and he on bottom and greedily drinks his blood. Laito sighs heavenly with pink tints on his cheeks and moans at the pleasurable feeling of his lovers fangs inside him.

"You little minx." He grins before wrapping his arms around her and biting down on her shoulder. She flinches at the sensation of his bite and bites down harder, moaning herself. What is this man doing to her? Before anything else could happen, Sayori's ear gets suddenly gets snatched and she's pulled away from Laito.

"Ow!!" She exclaims in pain as her eldest sister, Rena, glares down at her.

"And what exactly is the matter with the blood bags you were given for feeding? You know the rules about feeding off of each other."

Sayori slaps her hand off and rubs her aching red ear. "God Rena! Will you stop doing that?!"

The huntress looks at Laito.

"Laito-kun, I thought it was clear to you that you are not to engage in such a manner with my sister. You two have been secretly fornicating and you both know how concerned I get about that."

Sayori rolls her eyes and sighs. "Oh my God Rena! For the last time! We're using protection! We know better!"

"Oh really? Then what were you about to do with Laito-kun if I hadn't interfered just now?" She questions, making her sister blush in embarrassment.

"Oh don't mind her Little Bitch." Laito wraps his arms around her waist while grinning at Rena. "Rena-san's just jealous because her and Reiji are not as romantic as we are."

Rena arches an eyebrow with a calm face.

"Sexual intercourse is something I don't need with Reiji-san 24/7 Laito-kun. Like normal couples, we respect each other's space and go about our business until we want to see each other. That is the kind of relationship that you two need to work on. Now if you will excuse me, I have the others to awaken for school. I better not find anymore bite marks on either of you when you come down."

With that she walks out and Sayori groans as she falls backwards on the bed.

"She always has to ruin everything!!" She throws her hands up.

"Which is why she's a perfect match for Reiji." Laito says.

"Still! When is she ever gonna realize that I'm a full grown woman?! I make good choices, I can take care of myself! Hell that's why I wanted her to train me to becoming a hunter!!"

She looks at Laito and points to him. "It's you who can't be trusted. You always forget to put on condoms and you always make me forget too. So I guess I can kinda see why she's always harping on us."

He hovers above her. "Is it really that big of a deal?"

"C'mon Laito-kun. You know the risks of having sex without protection. And even though Rena can be a real pain in the ass, I kinda agree with her. I mean... what if I become pregnant? What's gonna happen then? I'm too young to become a mother and I'm not quite sure you're ready to become a father."

He nuzzles her neck with a big grin on his face.

"Oh Little Bitch, if you became pregnant then I would love you and our baby for all eternity. I would drown you with everlasting ecstasy and spoil our kid rotten."

His hand rubs her stomach fondly.

"I would be truly honored to have you as not only my beautiful bride but as the loving mother to my offspring. Just imagine it, you and I on the face of the earth, holding our precious child together! Basking off the rims of glory and eternal bliss when we spend our time together! Nothing will ever make me as happy if that were to happen."

She stares at him awestruck when he says these things and then she yanks him down to her lips like he was air itself that she needed to breathe in to survive.

"How fast do you think we can do it without Rena or Reiji-san noticing?" She asks breathlessly.

"5 minutes tops." He replies already lifting up her nightgown.

"That'll do."

They lock lips again and when things get a little fast and rough, they subconsciously roll off the bed and hit the floor.

~(XXX)~

Rena came in to wake Selena and Shu up and once Selena's fully awake from her slumber, she yawns and stretches her arms out as she sits up from the bed. She brings the sheets up to her naked chest and puts her hair up in a messy bun before laying next to Shu, her lazy vampire lover. Her finger traces circles on his chest while smiling.

"Shu-saaaan." She kisses his cheek. "Shu-san, it's time to get up. We have to get ready for school now."

He responds with a small grunt and keeps his eyes closed. Selena sighs and shakes his arm.

"Oh come on Shu-san. It's not that hard to get out of bed and get dressed."

"Yes it is. It's too much work and it makes me tired just thinking about it."

She sighs in defeat and fully collapses on the bed.

"You're always tired Shu-san." She gets up and puts on her robe. "I wonder how you don't manage to gain any weight when all you do is lie around and sleep."

She walks up to his side and puts her finger on her chin, like she's contemplating.

"And yet, you have the energy to make love to me like you did last night?"

He smirks. "A man can never be tired to help his woman with her special needs."

She gawks at him and huffs out.

"You are impossibly indecent Shu-san!! If I remember correctly, it was you who took advantage of me while I was enjoying my leisure time! Hmph!" She crosses her arms and looks away.

"Well you are the one who put me under your spell first, you siren."

"When I was playing the violin?" He snatches her wrist and pulls her on top of him.

"Yes, because these fingers of yours make the music come to my ears and it lulls me to sleep."

She blushes when his lips brushes against her fingers.

"I could listen to your music forever and never get tired of it. It's simply erotic for me to ignore." His mouth is near her wrist now. "Just like your blood."

He sinks his fangs in her wrist and she bites her bottom lip, trying not to moan. If he knows how much she's enjoying this, then they both will be in bed forever and they're always the last ones to get to the limo.

"Sh-Shu-san. We better get ready before we're-"

She squeals when he pulls her forward and sinks his fangs on her chest.

"Late!! Shu-san!!" She moans when he wraps his arms around her burying his fangs in deeper.

"Shu-san, we-we can't be doing this! We-"

"Oh be quiet."

At first she sets her hands on his head to push him away but she ends up running her fingers through his hair when she could no longer hold back the feeling of pleasure course through her body.

"Oh Shu-san." she moans.

"I'm not getting up for school." He licks the running blood off her chest, making her shiver. "And neither are you."

"I would have to disagree with you on that."

Selena squeals and her face burn cherry red when she sees Reiji in the room with his scowling face.

"Reiji-san!" Selena closes up her robe when she jumps off of Shu.

"As you two are fully aware, I do not appreciate your lack of punctuality. It is simply aggravating when we have to wait for you."

Selena bows. "We're so sorry Reiji-san. We'll try to be on time for now on."

"For your sake, I hope you will. Now quit wasting time, hurry up and get ready."

With that Reiji teleports away and Selena sighs. She looks on the bed where Shu is and he's already dressed somehow. She gawks at him and looks around as he grins.

The devil must've been getting dressed while Reiji was scowling them. She wants to say something but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. So she humphs and storms into the bathroom where she gets dressed.

~(XXX)~

Aina woke up earlier and instead of going back to sleep, she stayed up and stroked Kanato's head that's laying on her stomach. He's latched onto her waist like a sleeping child would do with his mother and when Rena came he didn't even wake up, not until Aina started to hum his favorite song. He slowly stirs awake and lifts his head up to see Aina's precious smile that always brought up a smile of his own.

"Good morning Kanato-kun." He takes her hand and kisses it. "Good morning my princess."

He looks around then back at Aina with concern. "Where's Teddy?"

"It's okay." She lifts the covers off of Kanato's one-eyed stuffed bear. "I made sure he was safe and warm while you were asleep."

He snuggles his face on her stomach before kissing it. "You spoil me and Teddy!"

Aina giggles when his lips kiss her ticklish stomach. "Kanato-kun, that tickles!"

"Oh really?" He grins and she knew from there on she was in trouble.

She busts out laughing so hard when he tickles her whole body. He tickles her so much, tears start to run down her cheeks.

"Kanato-kun!!! Stop!! I can't... breathe hahahah!!!!"

She finally stops him by reversing their positions. Now she's on top, straddling his waist and she beats him with a soft pillow. But he then switches their position, so now he's on top again. They both laugh and he lays on top of her with their lips close to touching.

"Give me a kiss."

She giggles and gives him a long sweet kiss until they separate.

"I love you!" He presses his forehead against hers. "I love you too Kanato-kun."

He pulls out his bear. "And what about Teddy?"

"I love Teddy too." She pecks his small black nose. "I will love you both forever and ever."

She hugs them both until they get out of bed to get ready.

~(XXX)~

Rena walks into Yui's room and actually seemed to walk in on Ayato about to bite her shoulder. And as usual, she keeps a calm face but her eyes tell how she's really feeling about this situation.

"I see that you're already up and ready to go Ayato-kun." She stares at the triplet who's glaring daggers at her now. "Now if you don't mind, I believe that Yui-chan needs to change into her uniform. And she will need absolute privacy for that, so if you'll please."

She stands aside and gestures to the hallway. Ayato growls but says nothing as he humphs and walks out. The huntress nods to Yui and leaves the room with Ayato.

"Don't you know it's rude to interrupt someone's meal like that?" Ayato sneers while Rena walks calmly beside him.

"Just like you know that you can't feed on a young lady like you were specifically ordered not to? You know the rules in this house Ayato-kun. Disobedience is something Reiji-san and I don't tolerate and you above all should know that by now."

He growls in annoyance and Rena glances at him. She remembers how he's been acting towards Yui. At first he was after her because of her blood but ever since she almost died that time, he looked so concern and worried. Like he was going to lose her forever.

She knows that he doesn't want to admit it but the huntress knows that he's interested in Yui. She can tell because of the way he's acting with her right now. He's been treating her more harshly and rudely by yelling and teasing her so much.

Now that may not be the obvious way to see that he likes her but to Rena, he was a little boy bullying a girl because he likes her. It's the only way for him not to let the girl realize his true feelings for her.

She looks back ahead of the hallway. "You know Ayato-kun, being rough with Yui-chan will not make her fall for you."

"Hah?!?" He whips his head at her. "The hell are you talking about?!"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. If you wish to court Yui-chan then you need to treat her with respect and take care of her. She cares about you but she also fears you. She went through a lot of hell when she came here and the last thing she needs is you to suck her dry."

She walks ahead of him when he stops walking.

"Be sure to be in the limousine when the others come. We're already late."

~(XXX)~

Rena and Reiji both meet up in the den room as soon as their errands are done.

"Everyone is awake and getting ready now. They should be down in a short while." Rena informs him.

Reiji sighs and pushes his glasses back up.

"Why must they all be so stubborn to get out of bed? Is it too much to ask to require punctuality for school hours? Not to mention, they purposely disregard the rules about feeding off of each other. It's very irritating."

"Now Reiji-san." She straightens his blazer and tie. "You know very well that your brothers are happy to have the girls in their lives. They feel the need to love and cherish them whenever they can and I don't blame them. I mean, we ourselves purposely broke our own rules recently, didn't we?" She grins softly at him.

He looks away, trying to hide the faint blush on his cheeks and she places her hands on his chest.

"You've seen how close they're becoming. Almost all of them are at the next level of their relationships. Surely you already know that by now."

He takes her hands on his chest in his and pulls her in close.

"Is there ever going to be a time where you won't be defending them at all?"

She chuckles. "We need to have a balance Reiji-san. Every family needs a sweet and wise mother figure while they also need a strict and bold father figure. If we are to keep this family in order then we shall continue our ways until we both believe that they're out of control."

"Hmm. That's sounds like a fair proposition."

"I know it is." She moves closer to him and he wraps his arm around her waist.

"Is that so? You know you're being far too cocky. Thinking you know what's best for this family when I obviously harbor the knowledge of their needs."

"Oh is that how it is now?" She wraps her arms around his neck. "I know nothing and you know all? Hmph! You might as well call yourself the Grandfather of all Knowledge, since you seem to know everything."

"Are you mocking my intelligence?" He questions as she purposely looks away, grinning.

"Hmm. Maybe. Why? Are you aggrieved now?"

He lowers her in his arms. "As a matter of fact I am. And now I shall punish you for you're indecent mockery."

Their lips lock in a passionate kiss and they freeze when someone speaks up.

"Oh I see how it is!"

They straighten up and separate when everyone is in the den room now.

"They forbid us from having any fun and yet here they are in each other's arms, being mildly intimate. Tsk tsk. Talk about being selfish and hypocritical." Laito wags a finger at the refined pair while Sayori snickers.

Reiji clears his throat while Rena pushes a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Well now that you're all here and ready, let us go to the limousine."

And they do. They all get inside and the vehicle drives off. It was quiet but tension and annoyance is sensed by almost every one of the brothers, for being interrupted this evening.

"Oi Pancake! Since we were interrupted earlier, why don't you let me drink from you right now? I'm parched." Yui shrinks away from him.

Reiji crosses his legs and pushes up his glasses. "Isn't it a bit early for that? Even for you?"

Ayato leans back and rolls his eyes. "Nice Reiji. Isn't there any buzz you can't kill?"

"Yes, you're also the one to talk. I bet you and Rena-san would've gotten to second base if we hadn't interrupted you. Feels unsatisfying when you're interrupted on the good stuff huh? I simply adore it when my Little Bitch squirms underneath my touch and screams out my name in ecstasy. Thinking about it just sends shivers down my spine." he sighs heavenly with pink tints on his cheeks.

"Laito-kun!!" She smacks his chest, blushing red. "Shut the hell up! No one wants to hear that!"

"Tch. You fucking perv." Subaru growls.

"Subaru-kun." Luna frowns at him.

"God shut up." Shu sighs tiredly. "You're all ruining my music."

"My how utterly expected." Reiji says sarcastically.

Laito smirks when he looks at Subaru and Luna. "Oh I see now. You're just jealous because you didn't have the chance take Snowflake."

"Shut up." The tsundere vampire snaps while Luna shyly looks away.

Aina sighs and Kanato looks down at his bear. "Everybody please be quiet! Can't you see your upsetting Teddy and Aina-chan?"

"Screw this." Ayato leans towards Yui again. "I'm thirsty as hell. So give me a drink."

Yui gasps fearfully and Rena glares at the red headed triplet.

"Ayato. Do try to employ some modicum of restraint." Reiji says

"Yes, have you no shame?" Rena adds.

"Shut up! And both of you piss off!!" He hisses at them.

"Asshole." Subaru says pointedly to Ayato.

"What's that?!" He glares at the youngest brother.

"Now, now, were all stuck together in this little car. Let's take it down a notch Ayato-kun." Laito says to him.

"Don't tell me what to do!" He growls, getting pissed off.

"Hey how about you shut up and stop being such a fucking shithead for once?! Ever thought about doing that?!" Sayori snaps at him.

"You asked you to but in skank?!" he shoots back.

Kanato looks and glares at Reiji and Rena. "This is all because of you two, you know."

Before the two of them could say anything, the limo suddenly swerved. Then the next thing they knew, the vehicle is airborne when something hits it with extreme force. The girls scream and each brother grabs them and flies out of the vehicle before it crashes into a tree and explodes.

They all float down to the ground and stare at the burning limousine.

"So what the hell was that?" Ayato asks before setting Yui down. "Oh my god you're heavy."

She looks up at him. "Thank you for saving me Ayato-kun."

"Settle down. Maybe I didn't feel like spoiling my dinner." He looks back at the crash site.

Subaru looks at Luna. "You alright?" She nods and he sets her down.

The brothers release their brides as Yui stands up. "So what happened? Was it an accident?" she asks.

"I doubt it." Rena says.

"The driver of the car was a familiar. They are incapable of that kind of carelessness." Reiji adds.

"Yeah but this wasn't just some random occurrence." Shu says.

"So then what could it have been?" Kanato asks.

Laito looks up at a cliff when something catches his eye.

"Oh hey, I found a clue."

Everybody looks up and in the distance are four figures in the shadows. The only thing they can see is a bandaged arm, a thin gold necklace with a small pendant, a hand with numerous bracelets, and a book being held. Everyone stares at them and Rena makes a move to take out her gun with silver bullets.

"Wait." Reiji stops her and Ayato steps forward.

"Alright who are you?!" he demands.

The figure in the middle moves his mouth like he's talking and that's when Yui hears the word Eve come from him. Smoke then surrounds them, blocking them from their sight.

"Hey!!" Ayato calls.

The smoke floats off and the four mysterious figures are gone now. Some of the girls like Aina, Luna, and Selena move closer to their lovers.

"Who the hell were those guys?" Sayori asks.

Kanato has a serious expression on his face. "Their odor. It's rank."

"Like the dead." Subaru adds.

"Man the smell of half-breed vampires always turns my stomach." Laito says pinching the rim of his fedora.

"Half-breeds?" Selena asks. "You mean they're-"

"Yes they're like us but these are impure mongrels." Reiji says.

"Hmph. They smell like a whole lot of trouble to me." Shu says.

"Ah screw 'em! If it's a war they want we'll give 'em one!" Ayato shrugs before smiling sadistically. "This'll be fun."

As everyone is staring up at the cliff still, Yui looks down, placing her hand on her ear.

"That voice." Yui thinks. "Where have I heard it before?"

Rena looks down and shoves the gun back in her blazer. Who were they? Why did they do this? She needs to stay alert now because whoever they are, they're up to something and she doesn't like it one bit. Not only that, they're now dangerous threats to the Sakamaki's and to everyone else. And she'll be damned if she lets anything happen to them.

~(XXX)~

It's a foggy morning at the mansion and each bride can't even sleep because of what happened last night. So they all do their own things to calm themselves down.

Yui goes outside to the rose garden, Luna dances in the ballroom, Aina starts baking sweets, Selena plays her violin, Sayori practices her kicks and punches in the training room while Rena supervises her.

Sayori grunts every time her leg hits the heavy bag.

"So!" She starts off. "When do you think you're gonna let go with you on your next killing? I think I might be ready to slay some bloodsuckers!"

"Not until you've mastered the lessons I taught you." Rena says. "You still need to work on your stamina and speed. You tend to tire when you go beyond your limit."

She sighs and goes to punching the bag now.

"How long exactly does it take to master these combat skills?"

"For me it was about two years. With my proper guidance and instructions, your agility will improve in a matter of weeks or more." The eldest replies.

Sayori pauses when her curiosity got the best of her. Her fists punches the bag again.

"Where did you learn to fight and kill vampires Rena? I mean we were homeless and the only place we lived in was a church. Not to mention you were eight years old when you started this whole slaying business."

Rena stays silent for a minute for she didn't know whether she should reveal this personal information to her sister.

"I met a man." She finally says, making Sayori stop training. "After our parents death, I went out for a little walk one night and I... I came across another vampire."

This causes Sayori to turn around to look at her with shock.

"At first my gut told me to run away but... my anger and hatred for those creatures told me not to." She looks down and closes her eyes. "So I stayed put and waited to see what he would do. I had the sword with me still and I... I was ready to defend myself. I was ready to kill this creature that was out for blood."

Her hands clenched into fists. "But he was too strong and quick for me. He was a vampire and I was only a young child. There was no way that I could ever kill him. I was too weak."

She opens her eyes and and crosses her arms. "Just when I thought that this was the end for me, he showed up and saved my life. He killed that monster with a silver stake and showed no hesitation about it."

She uncrosses her arms and walks up to the windows.

"Instead of asking me if I was okay, like any other person or savior would do, he only said, 'I watched you. You wanted kill this creature yourself didn't you?'"

"I didn't answer him but it appeared he already knew my answer. 'What if I told you that I could help you kill these creatures?' He asked me. 'What if I could make you become... a vampire hunter? Would you accept?'"

"I didn't know what to do. I didn't know him at all yet he saved me. And now he was offering me something that could help me protect you and innocent people. So I accepted his offer. Since then he's been teaching me all the ways to kill a vampire. It turns out that he too was a hunter and that he lost his loved ones to them. He was my mentor until he knew that I was ready to fight on my own."

"What was his name? And whatever happened to him?" Sayori asks.

Rena looks down. "His name was Kaiji Shuzō. And I don't know what happened to him. One day he told me that he was going away on a mission and that he would come back but... he never did. Everyday I would go to our meeting spot and wait for him until I knew that he was gone for good."

She looks up at the sky from the window. "I sometimes wonder if he's still alive though. He taught me everything I needed to know. He made me into the woman I am today. And because of that, I will always be grateful to him." She looks down solemnly. "He was like a second father to me."

The huntress looks back up and turns to her sister. "And just like with mother and father, I never got to say goodbye to him properly." She grins a little and looks aside. "I can't imagine what he would say or do to me if he knew that I became one of them. If he's alive that is."

The two women stay silent until Rena suddenly looks up like she heard something. But it was her senses that made her become alert and so did Sayori's. They look at each other.

"How many?" Sayori asks.

"Four of them. Find the girls and inform Reiji-san and the others." Rena orders before sprinting away.

Rena could still sense the four presences within the property and she has to hurry. Perhaps it was those four men they saw last night. Rena obtains her weapons before she runs out into the empty rose garden.

She pulls out her gun and cocks it as she's carefully observing the garden. She can still sense them. They're close by.

"Whoever you all are, show your faces to me now!! You are trespassing and we do not tolerate intruders!! Show yourselves now or I will kill you all!!"

She gasps when she feels the four presences flee. She whips her head up and sees four shadow figures flying or jumping over the mansion roof. Rena wastes no time aiming and firing her gun with silver bullets. She shoots until she could no longer see them. Just then some of the girls and brothers come running out to her.

"What the hell is going on?!" Subaru yells.

"Rena-san what happened?!" Selena exclaims worriedly.

"Is everything okay?!" Luna asks.

"What did you see?!" Aina asks.

Rena kept her eyes on the roof and lowers her gun. "It was them. They were here but now they're gone."

"What?!" Ayato exclaims.

"Them? You mean those half-breeds we saw last night?" Selena asks.

"Yes. They ran away before I could even a good shot at them." She shoves her gun in her belt and looks at the rose garden. "They wanted something from us. I could tell once they caused that accident." She picks up a red rose petal and inspects it. "They were here to obtain something. But what exactly?"

The huntress turns to everyone and notices that Sayori's missing.

"Where's Sayori?" she asks.

Just then Sayori runs out of the mansion to her, panting hard from all the running and searching she did throughout the house.

"Sayori, what's wrong?" Rena asks once she notices her sister's concerned face.

She catches up her breathing and shakes her head. "I can't find Yui-chan anywhere!"
