Prologue

"Seiji...I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," he sobbed as he watched the brunette youth struggle against the chains inside the coffin, blood continuously pouring from the slit wrists.

The young man glared at him, hatred flaring within his beautiful hazel eyes. He bared is fangs at him, growling and hissing. "Why?! Why are you doing this?! You made me into this! How could you do this to me after making me into this, Shusuke?!" Seiji roared.

Seiji pulled at the chains, but only succeeded in making himself bleed faster. His struggles started to slow, becoming weak and his eyes began to droop. His breathing slowed till it was so light, one couldn't see the heaving of his chest. The chamber fell silent as the screaming stopped, leaving only the sound of breathing from Atobe and Shusuke. Lips trembling, Shusuke reached out to touch the cold fingers of Seiji's. He could never apologize enough for doing such a cruel thing to him, but he couldn't bare to kill Seiji either. Atobe's patted his shoulder, giving him a small squeeze.

"This was the only other choice. He'll be locked here, remaining in a deep sleep. As long as no human enters and let him feed, he'll remain asleep for a long time," Atobe said.

"I know...and I'm sorry. I couldn't..." Shusuke stopped, shaking his head. "Let's go."

They left the mausoleum, the door closing with a thud behind them. Atobe chained it tightly and added a lock. When he was done, he waved for Shusuke to go. Taking a deep breath, Shusuke took one last look at the mausoleum, then turned on his heels, following after Atobe and silently saying his last goodbye to his lover.
