'His servants don't last long.'

That's what you were warned on the first day of your service at the Sakamaki House.

You had gotten out of your car and walked up to the side door, where you were instructed to go. You knocked three times, just like the sheet said and hurried into the house. You were immeadiately splashed with holy water and given a rosary to wear.

"Uhhh....What is this?"

"They're asking The Lord for your protection," said one short girl, a few years older than you as the other women prayed.

"Hi, I'm Sarah," she said.

"__________. What going on?"

"Right, well your résumé said that you can 'work with all types of people,' correct?"

"Yeah, what? Are they like West Boro Baptists, or Scientologists?"

"No no! They're a little less extreme!" she said, smiling.

Then she gave you the whole vampire speech and you shrugged it off. These people were crazy, but the money was good and you had a place to stay. Sarah didn't believe the crap the other women said either. She just decided to deal with the Adam's Family for as long as she could until she paid off her student loans.

"We're each assigned a Sakamaki," she said, handing you your maid clothes. "I have the second oldest, Reiji. You have the middle triplet, Kanato. We basically are their secretaries, their cleaners, their drivers, whatever they need us to be.

"They also have their own fetishes, which you might not enjoy knowing about. Especially Ayato. Sadist, much?" she said. She leaned down and handed you some shoes. She put her hands on her hips and said, "That should do it. Come on."

She lead you down the hall of the servants quarters and said, "There are approximately 80 servants in the house, unfortunately your room has to be the very end of this hall. It gets you could excersise though. Anyway, they all have their own preferential taste in breakfast, Gina, our cook, will handle that part. All you have to do is be docile and smile softly. Kanato enjoys it when people smile. It's good to have him happy, by the way. Making these boys mad is not advised. They have short tempers and if they don't like you, you're gone. The other ladies think that they die but they just leave really quickly. I mean seriously, I've been here for three years, not once have I seen a bucket of blood or a coffin. Just Ayato's Iron Maiden, but that's a bit different, eh?"

You listened to her ramblings and smiled. You liked her.

Three days later, you bowed and moved away from the table, watching as Kanato ate in his room. He took one bite of his beignet and then put his hands back in his lap. You watched as he stared off and said softly(not too loud), "Is the food not to your liking sir?"

"Do you believe in the occult _________?"

You paused.

"Well?"

"No....No sir," you asked confused.

He remained silently. Slowly you watched as his hand covered his mouth, he hunched over and you ran to his side, "Sir!"

Then his childish laughter rang through the room, down the hall. You froze and awkwardly smiled.

He grinned at you, his lilac eyes glinting, "I like you _________....You're cute...."

You blushed a bit, "Th-Thank you sir-"

Two incisors dug into your wrist. You almost screamed, until his hand clapped over your mouth. He pulled away and licked his bloody lips. He smiled, "How cute.... That expression you make.... Of fear and confusion.... It's beautiful.... Promise you make those kind of expressions for only me, ne?"

You stood up and raised your hand, slapping the taller boy.

He grabbed his cheek and you glared at him, "What....the....hell.....?"

You growled, "What the hell was that?! Did you just drink my blood you sicko?! I swear, if you ever do that to me again, you'll have hell to pay, you bastard!"

He widened his eyes as you stepped up to him, gripping your wrist tightly.

Your vision was crossing but you wanted to finish what you were saying, "If you want something, you brat.... THEN YOU FUCKING ASK!!"

And with that, you hit the ground, shoulder banging against your jaw.

"Damn...How'd you do this, girl?" Asked Sarah, dabbing your wound.

"That bastard bit me...." you hissed.

"What?!" she cried, hand tightening the flesh of your arm.

You cried out, "H-Hey!"

"S-Sorry...." she said. Sarah finished cleaning your bite and wrapped your arm.

"So am I fired?"

"That's Kanato's decision, but most likely yes."

"Damn....And I needed the money too...."

"What for?"

"My sister's chemotherapy...."

"Oh I'm sorry...." she trailed off. "But you never know! Maybe...."

But she was doubtful. You didn't blame her. You were too.

You tied your apron and glanced at your suitcase by the door, packed and ready.

You put your hair up and walked down the hall, picked up Kanoto's breakfast and walked to his room. You knocked three times and you heard, "Come in ________~!"

You shivered. He must be really mad.

You pushed the door open and set the food down on his table. You took a few steps to the side, still standing across from the bed. Kanato stood up and made his way to the table.

However, instead of sitting down, he did something else.

He put both hands on the table and leaned across to where you were. You couldn't move from where you stood and watched, wide eyed, as Kanato gripped your chin.

"I love you ________. However, you're not mine. No.... You're a special person to have tamed me. Whatever you say, I will do. Whatever you desire, will be yours. That's how much I love you. Because you are not mine.... I am yours...."

"Kanato, will you hold this for a second?" you asked, handing him a vase. He smiled and took it from you. You smiled back and dusted the side table in the hall.

'How did you do it?!'

'Are you our angel?'

'You must have done some sort of spell or something!'

You were bombed with questions about how you did it. How did you tame a Sakamaki and not die?

'Uhh....I yelled at him? I sorta....stood my ground and slapped him when he bit me.... and.... yeah....'

No one had the balls to do that. Sarah would have done it, but she was in good terms with Reiji already and didn't want to blow it.

"_________~ Will you kiss me~?" asked Kanato, handing the vase back to you.

You smiled up at him and kissed his lips. He smiled and hugged his Teddy.

You knew Kanato had many a complex. A mother-complex, a vampire-complex, a __________-complex...... But never really knew the reason why. You understood what he had with you, but seriously, having his mother's ashes in a Teddy Bear was just sick. And the vampire thing was probably from parental influence.

You sighed. Whatever.... It was probably nothing too unusual.

^     ^     ^     ^     ^     ^

"S-Sir.... Could you not?" you asked as Kanato smelled the crook of your neck.

"You smell natural.... Untouched.... Raw...." he sighed.

"Uhhh.... Kanato? Seriously? What are you doing?"

"I can't hold out any longer.... Everything else tastes bland.... I need to...." he opened his mouth and then suddenly pushed you away. You hit the wall and grabbed your wrist. It had started to burn.

"________! P-Please! G-Go away! Run away!" he yelled.

"K-Kana-?"

"GO NOW!" he screamed.

You pulled the door open and ran. You ran down the hall to the library. You pressed your back against a shelf quickly, knocking a few books down in the process.

The house fell silent and you slid down to a squat. Something on the floor caught your eye. It was a picture in a book, of a man drawn with red eyes.

You read the caption below the picture:

"Whenever a vampire, has tasted the blood of a human who they have love for, all other food and blood taste bland to them. This is for an unknown reason. If they do not REGULARLY taste the blood of their human lover, thy will go into a 'Blood Frenzy,' where they consume their lover alive."

You jumped at the sound of the library doors being slammed open.

Tmp..... Tmp...... Tmp.......

Slow footsteps sounded through the room. You covered your mouth and tried to slow your breathing.

'He is not a vampire....They're not real! He's not. Kanato is not a-!'

"Good evening _________...."

You stared in horror at Kanato Sakamaki. He kneeled down and said, "I was such a fool..."

A smile spread across his face. It was soft and sad, but also cruel and malicious.

"I thought I could suppress it.... No.... I need to have you ________.... Nothing tastes right anymore.... It's because of you _______...."

Kanato grabbed your wrist, tore off your bandage and kissed your, mostly-closed, wound. He whispered against your skin, "Feed me...."
