CHAPTER 6 ( Yui x Kanato)

Scene: At night, at the Sakamaki Manor. Kanato sings "Scarborough Fair" from the balcony.

Kanato: ♪ Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

♪ Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

♪ Remember me, to one who lives...

Yui opens the door to the balcony.

Yui: That was you, Kanato?

Kanato: Oh, Yui... Isn't it a nice night?

Yui: Why are you sitting here? It's dangerous.

Kanato: I'll be fine.

Yui: Come on, it's really dangerous.

Kanato: Heh... Fufu... You wear an expression of anxiety mingled with fear. It's very cute.

I actually hate it when you make that face. It makes me worry why you're so afraid of me.

Yui; I-I'm not right now. I'm only afraid that you're going to fall.

Kanato: Fufufu... You really don't have a clue... how conceited that makes you.

Yui: Ah...

Kanato: You're so incredibly foolish... Fufu... It's so cute, it makes me laugh.

Yui: Is it so wrong to worry?

Kanato: I don't need to worry.

But... do you want me to get down from here that badly?

Yui: Yes.

Kanato: Okay, then kiss me.

Yui: Huh?

Kanato: If you kiss me, I will be happy to get down.

If you can't do that, then leave me alone and get lost. Okay?

Yui: Ngh... Ahh...

Kanato: Heh...

Yui: Ah...

Kanato: Hahahaha!

Yui: W-What is it?

Kanato: You took me seriously... You really are hopelessly stupid.

I'll get down now.

Yui: Ah... Really?

Kanato: Yes.

Kanato stands on the balcony railing.

Yui: K-Kanato?

Kanato: Well, so long.

Yui: Huh?

Kanato falls backward off the balcony.

Scene: At the Sakamaki manor. Yui makes her way down to Kanato, who is lying on the ground where he fell.

Yui: Kanato, are you all right?!

Kanato! Kanato!

Kanato opens his eyes.

Kanato: You're annoying!

Yui: Ah...

Kanato: Did you believe a tiny fall from the second floor would actually harm me?

Kanato sits up.

Yui: But you...

Kanato: I only wish I could die so easily.

Yui: Do you want to die?

Kanato stands up.

Kanato: Maybe, but not right now.

Yui: A-Ah...

Kanato: Anyway, there is a place I am fond of. I would like to take you to see it today.

Scene: In a crypt filled with wax figures wearing white dresses. Kanato opens the door and enters with Yui.

Yui: What are these?

Kanato: As you can see, they are wax figures.

Yui: I've never seen one before.

Kanato: Even Teddy perks up when we come here. Isn't that right, Teddy?

You don't look like you're enjoying it much.

Yui: Wax figures are kind of eerie.

I wish they were as cute as Teddy.

Kanato: I do realize that Teddy is the cutest of them all.

But in terms of soullessness, Teddy is just like them.

Yui: Soullessness?

Kanato: Fufu... You would be so beautiful as a silent corpse.

Yui: Huh?

Kanato: Say, would you like to become a figure right here and now?

Yui: K-Kanato?

Kanato: I would keep you displayed so carefully.

Yui: W-What are you talking about?

Kanato: And it would make Teddy so happy to have a new friend.

It would be a win-win situation for you!

Kanato puts his hand on Yui's shoulder.

Kanato: What do you say?

Yui: I don't want to become one of your sick figures!

Yui shakes Kanato's hand off and turns to run. Kanato grabs Yui's wrist.

Yui: Ah...!

Kanato: Fufufu... Hahahaha!

Kanato pushes Yui against the wall.

Kanato: Fufufu... Why are you so frightened?

However, that is an excellent expression.

Kanato licks Yui's neck.

Yui: Ngh... Stop!

Kanato: Ahh... I love the look on your face. It's wonderful.

I wonder why faces twisted in fear excite me so much. Fufufu...

Kanato licks Yui's neck again.

Yui: No...!

No, Kanato, please don't!

Kanato: I will sew that noisy mouth of yours shut with neat, tidy stitches.

Yui: Huh...?

Kanato: And I will give you glass balls for eyes. What color would you like?

Drained of blood, your transparent skin will probably become smooth and white like ceramic.

Kanato bites into Yui's neck.

Yui: Ugh... Ngh...!

Kanato: Ahh... I will drink every drop of your blood, so please don't worry.

You will be lovelier than the prettiest bride.

Yui: A-Are these wax figures actually...

Kanato: That's right. They are sacrificial brides.

Yui: Ah...!

Kanato: I will make you feel more comfortable soon.

Kanato puts his hand around Yui's neck and squeezes.

Yui: Y-You're strangling me...

Kanato: Fufu... Hahaha!

Ayato: Kanato!

Reiji wants to see you.

Kanato: Aw, what a pain.

Kanato releases Yui. She falls to the ground and gasps for air. Kanato leaves.

Yui: Ayato, thank...

Ayato: Don't get the wrong idea.

Ayato buries his face in Yui's neck.

Yui: Ah... Ugh...!

Ah...

Ayato pulls away without biting Yui.

Ayato: I'm not into it today.

I'm too tired.

Ayato walks away.

Yui: Ah...

Scene: In the Sakamaki manor. Yui walks through the hall. Subaru leans against the wall.

Yui: Subaru?

Subaru: You will definitely die if you stay here.

Yui: Ah...

But what choice do I have?

Yui clutches at Subaru's clothes.

Subaru: Go now.

Yui: Ah... Huh?

Subaru: Now's your chance.

Scene: In Yui's room. Yui packs her clothes into her suitcase quickly. She sees her father's diary and her photo on the bed. She takes the photo and sits on her bed.

Yui: No, I want to learn the truth, after all.

Scene: In another room. Yui confronts Subaru.

Yui: Subaru?

Subaru: You're still here?

You wasted a rare opportunity.

Yui: If you know anything about me or my father, please tell me.

I was told I was offered by the church as a sacrifice.

Subaru: I know nothing.

Yui: Ah...

Subaru turns to Yui but sees his mother Christa in her image.

Subaru: Ah...!

Subaru holds a silver knife out for Yui.

Yui: Huh?

Subaru takes Yui's hand and places the knife in her hand.

Subaru: That silver knife can be used to kill vampires like us with a stab to the heart.

Yui: Huh? But why?

Subaru walks away.

Christa: (Flashback) Take this with you. Keep it on your person at all times.

(Flashback) I need you to commit murder.

(Flashback) Please, for me?

Subaru: (Thoughts) Who do you want me to kill?

Christa: (Flashback) Let me go.

Subaru: (Thoughts) Hey, who are you talking to?

Christa: (Flashback) Please let me go!

Subaru: (Thoughts) Who are you reaching out to?!

Christa: (Flashback) If you become uncertain, plunge this knife squarely in the heart.

Subaru: (Thoughts) Who is it that you see?

Christa: (Flashback) You're such a gentle boy.

Subaru: (Thoughts) Sure, I'll commit murder for you. That's what you want, isn't it?(Thoughts) I will grant your wish.

Scene: In Yui's room. Laito lounges on Yui's bed.

Laito: Little Bitch, you kept me waiting.

Yui: Laito...

Laito: What is it? Why the face?

Laito gets up from Yui's bed.

Yui: Get out.

Laito: Fufu... Are you serious when you say that, Little Bitch?

Hm?

Laito notices the silver knife in Yui's hand.

Laito: Oh? That's Subaru's knife. Fufu...

Laito takes Yui's hands and positions the knife so that it points toward his chest.

Yui: What...?

Laito: What an honor! I never knew how much you loved me.

Yui: Huh?

Laito: To a vampire, murder is the ultimate way to confess your love.

You wield the finality that can end the knife of an immortal.

Yui: L-Laito?

Laito: Do you know how it feels to fall in love with someone so much that you hate them?

Laito pushes Yui up against the door.

Yui: Ah... Ah...!

Laito: When all is said and done, you and I are very much alike.

Your hot blood speaks to me with its incredibly delicious aroma.

Yui: Laito, let me go.

Laito moves in close to Yui's neck.

Laito: It knows that you want me.

Yui: How can you say that?

Please, let me go!

Laito: Say it. Scream that you want me.

There is no God. There is no real need to obey the rules. Is it so important to live, suppressing one's desires?

Yui: I don't know... why it's important.

Laito: Fufu...

Laito moves in to bite Yui's neck.

Yui: But... I will still believe.

No matter how painful life becomes, I will still believe.

Man is weak, so I must believe.

Laito: Fufu... Hahahaha!

I've never met a girl like you, Little Bitch.

I was only interested in your blood, but now... I've changed my mind.
