The Undying Rose

Chapter 21

Chapter 20

Back again with chapter 20! Thanks for all my readers for keeping up with me so far. Also thanks for the reviews, which most of them were positive and expressed how much you guys liked this. That was until recently since I read a couple of new reviews.

I read the whole thing, and most of it was right and I admit it. But what made me upset was the last sentence: please stop writing. I mean look, I know this story has a lot of mistakes. One of the noticeable mistakes is how words are merged with each other. I myself don't know the reason for that because when I post it using the iPad's FanFiction app, it gets like this. So, I thought of a solution for this and decided to post the chapters using the website instead of the app. For the grammar mistakes, I think you can just ignore them and enjoy the story. About Sama being dominating, well, it's how this story is different from the others so I won't change that. I mean, the anime was all about Yui's suffering and her being unable to do anything about it. And we all know, that's one of the reasons the anime didn't get a high rating isn't it? The only thing that I liked about Diabolic lovers the anime was the characters looks that's all. And besides, in the original game, the brothers change and start being nice to Yui. And in this fanfic, I'm focusing on that kindness since Yui was already there when Sama came and she already did a fine job of changing them so they won't be as sadistic as the anime. Besides, this story is supposed to be for fun. And if you don't like it, you can always move on to another fanfic that suits your tastes. Calling my grammar pathetic and telling me to stop writing won't make me stop this since I already wrote 500 pages. And as I said at first, I'm writing this for my friend and posting it just for other people to see, so don't take this too seriously.

I apologize if this note was long but I needed to reply. I also apologize for the many mistakes of this story. And for all of you my good readers, thank you for bearing me all this time and I'll try my best to make this story better.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my character Sama and her family members.

This fanfic's idea belongs to Sushi-chan99.

"...have someone that I like..."

After I said that I got everyone's full attention. Even my family seemed shocked.

"Liar!" That was Fahd.

I smirked. "Too bad I'm not lying this time."

"W-when? And w-who?" Omar was really shocked that he was stuttering a lot.

"It's a secret~" I winked to him.

"It's unforgivable!" Miriam yelled. "Who in the world would seduce my big sister and get away with it?!" She sounded really annoyed.

"Now big sis's gonna kiss?" Hala asked curious.

"Kith!" Sushi repeated.

I giggled at their comments. "Nah~ this all goes after marriage." I looked at the six brothers faces and they were like "what the hell?!" To make them believe me I took out a necklace and showed it to them. "That's his latest present to me, isn't it beautiful?" All my family gathered around me to see the necklace. The others were just standing there as they were before.

"L-like I care!" Subaru yelled and was about to make another hole in the wall when he stopped himself midway.

"She's definitely lying... don't you think too, teddy?" Kanato's face looked scary.

"Heh! Who the hell would want a girl like this as his girlfriend?! If it were me, I would've killed myself!" Ayato gave his own unneeded opinion too.

"True, living with this lady has been tough enough. But having her as a lover would be worse, I imagine." Reiji blabbed too.

"Now, now... this is my first time hearing about this... but why not? My daughter is pretty and single so that's possible..." she turned at me, her usual dark aura showing. "I prefer you give me the details right now my dear..."

(If I'll have a partner in this, she's got to be my mom!) I thought as I walked to her and pulled her away from the rest to tell her my plan.

When I told her the full story her face twisted into a smirk. I did so too. Then she turned normal and faced the others. "Enough talking about this topic already! Let's resume our morning exercise!" She did as I asked her.

"B-but!" Laito whined.

"We need to know who..." Reiji was saying something too.

"No complains! Boys, you play any kind of sports?" She changed the subject.

She was replied by a little of silence at first but it was ended by Ayato's reply: "I play basketball..."

Mom's eyes sparkled "Ooh! That's perfect since Omar and Fahd plays it too!"

"Mom~ that was a while ago!" Fahd said clearly bragging.

"Yeah, were not good anymore." Omar added.

"No, of course not my dears... that's why you'll play with younger fellows and it'll be fair for them." She imagined this in her mind completely.

Now the Sakamakis were staring. "Play with them...?"

"Yes~" Mom was super exited for the idea. "Fahd, Omar and Sama will play with the three you chose to form you team! We'll be waiting for you outside." She stopped for a moment. "And if you don't..." she was looking dangerous again so she left them no choice.

We went to the near gym and after a while the Sakamakis followed us as they chose Ayato, Laito and Shuu as the players. (Shuu?!)

"You're looking down on us suckers?!" Fahd was glaring daggers at the Sakamakis and it was most likely because of Shuu participation since he didn't know why Shuu was selected. But I guessed the answer easily: he was pushed in by evil glasses at the last moment.

"Don't you think if we're old then we're weak. If you do, you're gonna eat it boys!" Omar was pissed too.

"Ha! As if ore-sama gonna lose to a team with a girl in it!"

(Now he's done it!) I was about to go punch him in the face when Fahd held my hand. "Don't sister, we'll show them at the game..." he was smirking at them from above.

Both my brothers were in the 180s. Fahd 185cm tall and Omar 183cm. I was 170cm so I wasn't that short. Ayato and Laito were 174cm tall and Shuu was 180cm. To sum it up, if we look at it from any angle we clearly had the advantage. As the tension grew hotter and hotter between the two teams, mom announced Reiji as the referee. She also decided that it'll be a normal game and who gets the most points wins.

We stood in one of the sides facing the vampire team. Thanks to my family, they can't use their teleport stuff or they'll be found out. So they'll play normally. To my experience, Ayato is the only one who's actually good at basketball. I didn't see Laito play before so he may surprise me. Shuu, well... I didn't expect anything from him anyway. And I was right. As the game started we dashed at the ball like hungry beasts except for Shuu who was still standing in his place in front of the basket. I don't know why but I think he never played basketball before and he thought he was some kind of goal keeper or something. I really just wanted to yell: "Dude this is not football!" But I didn't do that cause it was to my benefit.

As we played, the ball went from one team to another with no goals at first. Ayato and Laito were good and they were able to play well against us. "They're not bad!" Fahd was excited.

"Yup! Should we stop playing around then?" I asked him referring to 'that'.

"You got it sis!" Omar got the massage.

The three of us then changed places and each went to his position. The ball was with me. As I dribbled it on the floor as I waited for Omar and Fahd to be ready. When they were I smirked at Ayato who was in front of me waiting for an opportunity to take the ball from my hands. "Now we begin the real game, takoyaki sucker!"

"Huh?"

I left him to be grasp what will happen as I jumped and threw the ball to Omar who threw it to Fahd who was just next to the basket so he scored a goal. Ayato and Laito were just staring at us as they couldn't react at all.

"All right!" We yelled and did a triple high five to celebrate our first goal.

"What the hell just happened?!" Ayato said.

"Y-yeah! How did you cheat?!" Laito was shocked as well.

I smirked at them again. "If anyone can cheat, it would be you my boys~" I referred to their vampiric superpowers so I got couples of glares from here and there. But I didn't care.

We resumed the game and we got four other goals using our technic: "The triple dribble throw". Soon Ayato and Laito understood what was happening and formed a counterattack. We had to use something else. Shuu thankfully, every time the ball get his way, he dodges it leaving the basket quite open. And no matter how much scolding he gets, he gives no s**t and continues sleep-standing. Until I did that...

*POW!*

Hehe, the ball hit Shuu's face roughly till he fell on his butt. The guy stared at me shocked from the sudden and painful wake-up. The boys looked too and I pretended not to see anything. Well, that did it for Shuu as he left the court with a red face. What amused me more, that I caught Reiji chuckling at his brother. (I think now he'll make my punishment lesser...)

Subaru moved in as a replacement of Shuu. He cracked his knuckles and looked real pissed. He game got harder after he got in, but more fun. Each dribble of his almost broke the floor and popped the ball. We played and played until we were one minute away from victory. They got the same amount of points as us.

"Huff, huff... those little shorties are kinda good..." Fahd was tired.

"Who are you calling a shortie old man?!" Ayato yelled at my brother.

"Shut it you're 4cm taller than a GIRL!" I yelled back.

"W-what?!" Ayato blushed a bit.

"But you're not a girl Sama-chan, you're a gorilla!" Laito commented.

"At least I'm a big strong gorilla you girly monkey!"

"Okay that's enough!" Mom slapped the back of our heads. "Continue!"

I sighed. "Okay let's do this!"

"Hey sis, should we use 'that'?" Fahd winked to me.

"Ooh! Why not?" Omar got it again.

"Good idea, it's our victory anyway!" I said that and they began to move to the sides of the court. As planned, the three idiots ate it and followed my brothers. (Too bad for you guys...) I began moving too till I was in the three points range. I lifted up the ball and...

Throw! The ball flown and went in the basket to score three points.

*Beeeeep* Reiji announced the end of the match.

"YES!" The three of us cheered and went to a group hug that soon turned into a family hug by mom and the girls joining in.

"B-but how...?" Ayato was the most shocked one of losing.

"That's what you get when you underestimate a girl!" I held my head high at the fallen guy on the ground. He looked too hurt so I kinda felt sorry for him. "Here, get up..." I stretched my hand to him.

He stared for a moment then he slapped my hand away. "I don't need your mercy!" He got up. "Don't think you're all high and mighty because ore-sams lost to you once!"

I sighed. "Ayato, I think that you were good."

"Haaa?! Are you mocking me?!" He looked like he would pop any second.

"Nope! Just saying the truth here. You know why you lost?" He didn't say anything but looked like he was listening. "It's simple. You see, basketball is a team game, and to me, you weren't like a team at all." He said nothing. "Ayato, the reason you lost is because you resent your brothers too much to even be able to play as a team with them." I said it straight and clear.

He looked shocked. "How could I like them?! You don't know..."

"Stop telling me that. I don't know anything, but I can tell that you don't like each other for some reason. And as I understood so far... it's all your father's fault." Now all of them gave me their attention. I knew that I shouldn't talk anymore in front on my family so I just brushed the topic off. "Anywaaaay!" I went to my brothers again. "Let's go grab ice-cream to celebrate our victory! Since we won the game, it's on Reiji-sama~" Reiji heard me as his face darkened. I giggled imagining how much ice-cream I would eat that day.

As we were walking to the ice-cream shop, mom turned to me and asked: "What was that about, Sama?" She looked concerned.

"Well, it's exactly as I said. I don't know why but these brothers sure hate each other and it's really annoying." I answered honestly.

She whacked my head. "Don't say that, it may be a serious problem!"

I rubbed the place she whacked "Sorry... But it's completely out of my hands so..." that was right, since they were just shutting me away every time I ask them about their past.

Mom held her hand under her chin, then her eyes brightened all out of a sudden. "Sama... how about we do something special for them?"

"Something special?"

What do guys think the mom will do? I'd love to read your opinions about this. And for the parts of the brothers dominating Sama, I'm sorry to tell you but you won't see those for a while since her family is going to stay for a week. But she'll get a payback don't worry.

Thank you for reading this chapter, please continue with enjoying this story.
