A Game for the Damned

[Captainsassypants]

Eri glared at Demetri as he slapped her hands "If it covered more of me I wouldn't have to pull at it" She mumbled under her breath and wrapped her arms around herself instead. Hearing the dress belonged to some mistress only made her feel even more uncomfortable. Was that what they were trying to make her into, some sort fo mistress? The thought made her ill. The ill feeling only increased as she was grabbed around the waist and Demetri admitted the dress was his favorite. "Please let go of me" She said looking down not liking the way she was being showed off.


Kei brought a hand to his chin and smiled "They both look quite nice in their dresses, I don't know how our guest will be able to keep their hands off them" he said eyeing both the girls admiring them both."Well party begins" He said clapping his hands when he heard the maid announce the guest arrival. He walked towards the stairs and took one of Shiori's arms steadying her. "Wouldn't want you to fall" He said looking at her. "Just go I got it" Hiroki then said taking her other arm and giving a sharp look to Kei, but Kei didn't budge. So both boys escorted the girl down to the first level where their gues were just starting to arrive.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Demetri shook his shaggy head. "Don't pull any of that shit that you normally pull. There are very important people here." He hissed as Kazuko grabbed her other arm, Sokijo already at the foot of the stairs and among the other guests, where ladies would start fawning over how babyish his face was, then shooting glares at the girls.


Some would surround Kei. "Tell me it isn't true!" One whined. "You can't possibly desire their blood!"


Shiori thought that these girls were a little pathetic. Truthfully, she didn't give a damn about them wanting Kei. They could have all the vampires, if they wanted. It was absolutely disgusting. One by one, each vampire was fawned over by a group of girls. Hiroki's group was extremely bitter. "Why her?!"

 

[Captainsassypants]

Eri rolled her eyes at him "Worried I'll make you look bad?" She asked with a smirk. She really didn not give a damn who was at the party she wasn't going to just do what they told her to do just because they told her too. walking down the stairs she scoffed as the boys were surrounded by girls. Why did they even need her if there were already so many girls just dying to give them their blood? She thought all the girls must have some sort brain damage. As both Kazuko and Demetri were surrounded by their own group of girls Eri slipped out of their grasp dissappearing into the crowd.


As girls game up to him Kei only laughed kissing each of their hands. "Oh it's true, but don't worry I still have room for each of you" He said with a wicked grin his teeth just grazing the wrist of one of the girls.


Hiroki sighed as the angry group of girls approached him. 'Now now, don't be rude or I'm going to have to ask you all to leave" He said giving them all a warning. He did not feel he needed to justify his actions to them. They could either except Shiori or leave he would not tolerate rudeness.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"No!" Kazuko's girls started squirming and screaming in despair. "Don't be so rude to us, Kazuko! They don't even like you!" Two girls practically went nuts and threw themselves at him, but his thoughts were on Eri. Where was she?


The girl that was graced by the fangs of Kei giggled like a madwoman. She wasn't hurt at all, but, she was being watched, closely, by her own vampire family. She sighed. "I have to go, dear." She disappeared.


Demetri was entertaining his girls with some old stories about his family's success and takeover of their territory. "And, what did you do then, Demetri?" An overzealous female asked. "Oh, dear. They were attacking my brothers. I killed them by ripping their throats out."


Sokijo couldn't return to his normal, pale face as the girls around him started playing with his hair and asking him to dance.


Shiori immediately felt self conscious as she looked at these girls, who were all beautiful. "Hiroki, I need to sit down." She held onto him, trying to keep from falling. "Please, Hiroki."

 

[Captainsassypants]

Eri wandered off into the crowd of people that filled the house. She was looking for a way to slip out unnoticed. She was glad that all of the boys seem to distracted by their fan club of girls to pay much attention to her. However as she moved through the group of people someone caught her arms stopping her. " My, my what have we here" an unfimilar man said as he eyed Eri up and down " You must be one of the new little servant girl" he grinned pulling her into his chest in one quick motion. "Don't you just look delectable"He cooed into her eam making her squirm. "Please let me go" she said firmly not likeing how she was being handled


Kei shrugged as the girl he was currently teasing said she had to go. "Oh well, who's next?" He said looking to the other girls in the group around him a playful look upon his face. He would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying all the attention he was getting.


Hiroki shot Shiori a look as he heard her speak " Well go sit then there are plenty of seats around" he said letting go of her arm. He knew Kazuko shouldn't have taken so much blood from her just before the party he was certainly going to have to have a talk with him later.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Kazuko looked left and right for Eri. Upon seeing her with a familiar vampire, his heart sank out of fear. She was trapped by a member of the royal family, it looked like, though he couldn't place who it was. They were too far away.


Yui nodded, her head spinning as she did. "Right, thank you, Hiroki." She fell onto a couch on the left side of the room, head still swimming. "I really need to get over this, don't I?" She saw the boys all with their own groups. This would be the perfect time to escape.

 

[Captainsassypants]

"Hmm you're quite a rude one" Jasper ,one of the sons of the king, commented seeming a bit taken aback by the girl's attitude. Eri on the other hand didn't care if he thought her rude she just wanted his hands off of her. "I'm not a servant now let me go" She ordered. "Now why would I do that? I haven't even had a taste yet, and besides if you knew who I was I really don't thing you would be ordering me around like that" He said a hint of warning in his tone. A long finger trailed up her arm to her shoulder and neck then under her chin to lift her face to look at him. Her mouth was a straight line as she looked at him breathing hard out of her nose. "Awh don't look so grumpy all I want is a little fun" he said with an exaggerated frown. Eri looked past him spotting Kazuko a little ways behind him. She almost wished he would come push this creep off of her. At least she knew Kazuko, she had no idea what this guy was planning.


After a few moment of forced meaninless small talk Hiroki excussed himself from his group of girls and left grabbing two drinks and a small plate of food. He walked to where Yui was sitting and held out one of the glass of champagne and the plate of food to her. "Take this, you're going to need your strength for later" He said and sat down next to her sipping his own glass of champagne as he watched their guest mingle.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"Excuse me, your highness." Kazuko came up and spoke to the Prince. "But, wouldn't it be considered rude to take her blood before your mother and father?" He didn't want that to happen, but, it was a tactic to get the girl away from him. "Either way, it is rude to treat a lady so viciously." He reached for Eri.


Shiori took the food gratefully. "Thanks, but I don't see why I have to go through with this. Who cares what my blood tastes like?" She nibbled the food, slowly, waiting for him to speak. "I just want to go to bed."

 

[Captainsassypants]

Jasper scoffed when Kazuko came up telling him of all people what would be rude. "They wouldn't even notice and I think I am more entitled than anyone else here to have a taste don't you?" He asked giving Kazuko a challenging look. He was still holding her by the arm even when Kazuko pulled her away. Jasper was not the type to back down easily. "Besides isn't that what she's here for?' He continued. Eri kept quite during all of this. Hearing the words 'your highness' shot fear through her. At first she was afraid the man must be the king but hearing the mention of his parents she figured he must be a prince. Either way she wanted to be no where near him. Him and his family were the main people she was trying to avoid seeing by sneaking away.


"Everyone cares and especially the king and queen. You should care too if you hope to live" Hiroki said bluntly. The girl could be so silly sometimes. Of course it mattered what her blood tasted like, everyone what drank from her would care what it tasted like. "You can't leave until the party is over or at least you have to see the king and queen " He said looking over at her. He placed his free hand on her knee to keep her from getting up.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"Forgive me, Prince Jasper, but I don't think that you're more entitled than your parents, m'lord." Kazuko pulled Eri closer. If she could just keep quiet during this encounter, they could probably get away with this. "Excuse me, but she is my human and I would appreciate it if you wait for the ceremony." He squeezed her close in a desperate attempt to tell her to stay quiet and still. "Let me handle this." He hissed in her ear.


Shiori felt her face redden when he did this. "Please don't touch me. I'm not going anywhere." She whispered as she ate. Her stomach tied itself in knots, she could feel bile build up in her throat. "What's going to happen if I pass out when they do this, Hiroki?"

 

[Captainsassypants]

Jasper narrowed his eyes at Kazuko for a moment his hand tightening around the girls arm making her let out a small whimper. "Fine but I'll have her later" He said letting the girls arm go and disappearing into the crowd of people. Once he was gone Eri let out the breath she had been holding. "Thank you Kazuko you can let go of me now" She said looking at the red haired boy. She never through she would be thanking him but in this circumstance she could help but be greatful for him getting rid of jasper for her.


Hiroki shot a sharp look at her. "Don't tell me what to do" He said quickly had she learned nothing? He slowly took his hand of her knee. "You're not going to pass out before, that's why I'm having you eat. If you pass out during the ceremony then you will be brought upstairs"he said hoping she would even be alive after the cereomony it would be a shame if they had to go through thr trouble of getting comptetely new girls.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"Don't be daft." Kazuko smirked, still holding onto her. "That was the stupidest thing you could possibly have done." He pulled her back to their little family. "You could easily have been bitten by him. It was just a matter of keeping him talking. If he talked, he didn't bite." He thrusted her into an empty chair. "You won't be going anywhere, pet." He paused. "You are easily the biggest pain in the arse I've ever met."


Shiori whimpered. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." She was grateful when he released her. "I'm sorry." She curled her legs up to her chest, hugging them. "I just want to go home." A tear fell. "And, I'm not hungry, thank you. Please, take the food away." She handed the bread and cheese back to him.

 

[Captainsassypants]

Eri quickly changed back to her normal self "What are you talking about I didn't do anything! He was the one who came out of no where and grabbed me! It's not like a threw myself at him. Honestly the last thing I want is to be bitten again by anyone" She said with a "Hmph" As she was thrown into a chair her arms crossing over her chest. "Yeah well you're no walk in the park either" She said rolling her eyes. So much for her plan of making a run for it. How on earth was she supposed to get away now?


Hiroki sighed "You are home, what other home can you pissibly have? You're an orphan." he said setting his glass down on a end table. He stood up taking her plate. "Get up the ceremony is starting soon anyway and the King and Queen will want to see you" he said handing the unwanted plate to one of the servants before offering his hand to Shiori to help her up.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"We're out of time for training." He growled. "Who was in charge of that anyway?" He turned to the others. It would definitely reflect on them badly if their humans were to complete ruin their own homecoming party. Demetri looked the most upset. He was in charge of their training. "Remember, you are to stay with us. Be polite, be silent, be still." That's all he could say.


Shiori gave one last pathetic sob before wiping her face and standing up with Hiroki's help. "They're going to kill me, Hiroki." She murmured toward her feet. "I just know they will." She turned to make sure that no one was breathing down her neck before walking forward.

 

[Captainsassypants]

Eri just huffed and looked away. She handn't done anything wrong so why were they angry with her? They were much more stupid than she originally though if they honestly thought she was just going to do what ever they said after a day of yelling at her. "Yeah well apparently I'm dying soon so I guess it doesn't matter" She said spitefully.


Hiroki helped her to stand his arms around her waist keeping her up. "They wont as long as you do as you are told" He told her with a sigh. "Just don't be difficult and be repectful" he said leading her over to where his other brothers were standing around Eri. "The ceremony will begin soon is she ready?" He asked shooting a look towards Eri. From the looks of it things weren't going well he was slightly amused at how incapable his brothers were to train some silly little girl.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Kazuko was about smart remark away from breaking Eri's neck. Honestly, today of all days we have to put up with this? He hissed in his own mind as they moved forward.


Sokijo was the first to reach the nobles. "Your majesties." He bowed and stayed like that until he was told that he could rise. "We pray that you accept our offering."


Demetri followed his brother's lead. "Sire, as head of my family, I also hope that you will accept them as part of our devotion to you."


Shiori saw the king eyeing the two bowing vampires, then saw Kazuko do the very same thing. "Welcome to our home, my lord." He spoke in his most respectable tone.


Shiori stopped moving. She was frightened of the one that she assumed was the king. With thick black hair that passed his shoulders, a young face but with a mustache and a thin beard covering his chin, one hand holding the hand of his queen.

 

[Captainsassypants]

Following suit with his brothers Kei aproached the king with a bow and charming smile. "Your majesties, welcome and I do hope our gifts to you are too your liking" He said rising when he was told to do so.


Hiroki did the same "Welcome, your majesties" he said all the while he had a hand on Shiori ensuring that she didn't fall and did exactaly as she was supposed to. As long as she didn't anger them he was sure she would be ok he just hopes she understood the seriousness of the situation


Eri gulped as she along with Shiori and the rest of the boys were brought before what she had to assume was the king and queen. She was terrified she though she would have had more time to avoid this but now it was happening and there was nothing she could do. Standing still she watched each of the boys bow greeting the king and queen and presenting their "offering" which she knew they meant her. Hering herself being refered to in tht way made her sick. It was like she was a chicken some poor farmer would offer royalty in the olden days.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

The queen was a soft spoken, normally flirtatious vampiress with strawberry blonde hair, a pale, porcelain face and stunning green eyes. Her dress was one similar to the human queen, Elizabeth. "Thank you for having us. It has been such a long time and it's become extremely difficult to come out of hiding now that we're expecting. Don't you think so, my lord?" She smiled at her husband, who agreed with a broad smile toward his queen's belly. "I do, my dearest. " With all of their servants now standing, the queen hid a blush from them all. Shiori sighed. The king turned to her. "Relax, child. It will be over before you know it. We would never intentionally harm you." He promised with a creepy, unsettling smile. He indicated a restraint chair before him and his family. "Have a seat, dear." For a while, Shiori didn't move, she watched Eri. When she could avoid it no longer, Shiori trudged over to the restraint chair, which automatically tied her up. She couldn't move an inch.

 

[Captainsassypants]

"Well it's wonderful to be graced with your presence once again" Kei told the queen with a smile Hiroki did not saying but offered his own smile that was not quite as enthusiactic as Kei's was. When Shiori was adressed by the king Hiroki gave her a small shove forward towards him hoping she would not be a problem. If she was it would reflect badly on all of them. Eri glanced at Shiroi her eyes widening as she saw her being restrained. She tried taking a few steps back knowing soon that would be her. She couldn't bare to watch what happened to the poor girl and she desperately wished she could do something to help her but they were in a room full of vampires, to act out now would only spell both of thier deaths.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

Again, the queen smiled at Kei. She favored him before any of the others. "Thank you, my dear." She watched in amusement as Shiori was restrained. Her majesty sensed no trouble, not an ounce of fight coming from her. She would be obedient, easy, but, she would also be fearful. As the woman absentmindedly stroked her stomach, her husband stood up. "Don't move. I will be gentle." He swore. Shiori wanted to believe him, but it was hard. Praying to God, she waited for the inevitable. The king stood beside Shiori for a moment, as if teasing her. "Be wary of the other girl, my servants." He warned, seeing Eri back up. He placed a clammy, cold hand on Shiori's shoulder, flicking her hair away with his little finger. Then, Shiori had to stifle a scream by biting her lip, drawing even more blood as she was drained of her blood. The queen watched Sokijo and Kazuko grab Eri before taking her own turn and feed from Shiori.

 

[Captainsassypants]

"Oh you're quite welcome" Kei said before turning his attention the king and Shiori he couldn't help but feel a small pang of jealousy as he watched the man bite into the girl but he held it in only leting it show in a slight clench of the fist. Hiroki was relieved to see Shiori behaving, her scream would be forgiven. Eri looked very distressed as the king ordered his servant to keep an eye on her. She only struggled a little when Sokijo and Kazuko grabbed her. She squeezed her eyes shut not being able to look while the king and queen bit into Shiori she was convinced they were going to kill her and the thought was making her sick.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

"Thank you, my dear. I really needed that right now." She stroked her belly once more, then looked up to find her son, the one that was harassing Eri earlier. "Where did he go?" She asked her servants. He would miss out on the ceremony for nothing? "We aren't entirely certain, majesty." One answered. "Oh well." The king muttered, offering Shiori a hand to help her up. She accepted and was passed on to the boys. Demetri held onto Shiori lightly, knowing that the child was too weak to fight if she wished to. He was wrong about one thing. She did not wish to fight. Instead, she laid her head against his chest. Sokijo and Kazuko watched for the signal: a simple curling and uncurling of the king's finger. That was the cue to put her in the chair. It came quickly enough. The brothers walked Eri to the chair, which strapped her in automatically.

 

[Captainsassypants]

When she felt herself being brought forward Eri's eyes shot open as she struggled against the the boys holding her. Frantically she looked around as if she would find someone to help her but no one would dare. "Please stop! don't do this!" She pleaded and fought as she was strapped down. "Don't touch me!" She yelled fighting against the restraints feeling helpless. "I apologize, that one is a bit mouthy." Kei said to the queen with a frown as Eri was placed in the chair.


Hiroki stood back and waited for the king and queen to be done with Shiori. Once she was taken out of the chair e stepped forwards towards Demetri "I'll take her to her room" he said grabbing the girl from him picking her up bridal style. He knew she must be tired and would need rest now he figured someone else would take care of the other girl. Without another word her carried her through the crowd and up the stairs to her room laying her down on the bed while he sat on the edge making sure she was alright.

 

[Saiyan Princess]

The queen pat Kei's hand. "It's not your fault, my dear Kei. Everyone has their faults." She blushed. "I'm certain that you can think of a few of my own and a few of yours as well." The queen ignored Eri's attempts to stop her and said quietly, "what am I supposed to feed my unborn child then, dear?" She questioned with a raised brow as her hot breath pierced Eri's skin. "Oh, never mind. There will be plenty time to chat later." Her fangs pierced Eri's tender flesh. Her husband soon joined her.


Shiori turned over when she was laid down on the bed. "I-I thought it would have been worse." She quickly covered herself feeling air hit her sweaty body. "You've been so kind to me. Thank you." She reached for his hand, but was scared to touch it. "I'm sorry, for how I behaved earlier. Truly, I am."

 

[Captainsassypants]

Kei gave a small nod to the Queen and then stepped back. Eri squirmed in the seat as the queen drew near 'It could starve for all I care' She thought to herself as the queen mentioned having to feed what ever monster she had growing inside her. Tears stung her eyes as she felt the piercing of her sink. As if on cue Jasper arrived just as his father was finishing up with the girl. "Mother, Father, I do hope you don't mind but I've had my eye on this one for sometime" He greeted them and stood behind Eri his hands around her shoulders. Tilting her head to the side he narrowed his eyes at Kazuko a devilish smirk on his face. " Oh I do think I could just drain her completely. Then we wouldn't have to deal with her awful attitude" He said darkly and lowered his mouth to her neck wasting no time in sinking his fangs into her. By that point Eri was so weak she couldn't possibly fight him even if she wanted to. The most she could do was whimper, her eyes squeezing closed as she felt more pain.


Rubbing a hand through his hair Hiroki looked down at the girl laying beside him. He was a little surprised she even had the energy to talk seeing as how weak she looked. "I told you it would all be okay as long as you cooperated" He said bluntly even though deep down he was glad she didn't have to endure much pain. "It's fine, I'm just making sure you don't die. It would be a hassle to find a replacement" He brushed off her thanks. He wasn't one to show his feelings openly or be touchy feely and he wasn't even really willing to admit it to himself yet but he did care for her. Despite how many times he told himself she was just a toy, deep down he cared for her. He surprised himself by taking her hand when she reached for it a small sigh escaping him. "It's okay, all is forgiven. You should rest now, you've lost a lot of blood."
