Sanity's Boundary
Part I – Chapter 1
Humming…
There was a voice humming a sweet melody as its owner walked down the streets of Tokyo.
The melody rang through the unusually quiet city.
It was the only sound audible.
The voice's owner smiles pleasurably, noticing a figure walking down the empty streets.
"A victim."
The voice's owner was hungry. Its owner hadn't eaten in quite a while.
The melody continues.
Soon, the melody was joined with another. The figure was closer, much more visible, and whistling a tune. The two tunes went on as one.
The figure was a young male.
"Perfect."
The indigo eyes of the young male looked up towards the voice's owner and he smiled…then continued his stride down the path, short pink hair bristling in the slight wind.
The owner followed after him, lurking in the shadows.
Finally, the pink-haired male stopped at the bus stop…and so did the owner. The young male started as he heard footsteps and quickly turned around.
The voice's owner was there.
"Oh! You scared me for a minute. I didn't even notice you following behind me!"
The boy's voice was music to the owner's ears. He was definitely a vocalist.
"Sorry to have startled you…"
The owner stared intently at the younger male and grinned. The pink-haired boy looked up at the man sheepishly and scooted a bit away.
The voice's owner frowned.
Finally…it was time. The owner took the opportunity of there not being anyone around and pounced on the young male. He could hear the boy's melodic moans as he drained his victim's blood.
It was sweet like the strawberries he smelled of.
He let go of the boy and walked away, leaving the boy in a trance…oblivious of what happened.
He could see the boy board his bus, taking no notice of the twin marks on his neck.
"Till we meet again my strawberry treat."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Baka, wake up!" Yuki Eiri lightly nudges his young lover, trying to awake him.
Scratch that.
He'd been lightly shaking 20 minutes ago; now, he was roughly shaking the pink-haired singer in a failing attempt to awaken him. Though he'd never admit it, he was getting unusually worried. It wasn't anything new that the boy wasn't getting up, but there was also his appearance. Coming home the previous night, Shuichi looked paler than usual and his skin was cold and clammy.
What was wrong with his pink-haired fluff? Though he'd never mention it, he was really worried about the younger boy.
After one last shake, Shuichi finally groggily opens his eyes and grins lightly at Yuki. "G'morning Yuki…"
Yuki cracks a small smile and sighs with relief. "Baka, you're late for work."
Shuichi grins wildly and pounces on the writer in sheer glee. "Ne, Yuki~~~~~! You were worried about me!"
Yuki's smile turns upside down as he tries to pry Shuichi off of him. He was thinking on replying with an insult but thought over it again. He was really worried about the boy, so he smiled instead. "Baka. Of course I was…"
Shuichi, being surprised by his lover's sudden show of affection, loosens his grip and Yuki takes this as a chance to get up. He walks towards the door and turns around in the doorframe. "I'm working so don't bother me, brat."
Shuichi frowns playfully. "Ne~~ Yuki, Imma be bored…"
Yuki notices the playful tone and glares at the singer, "Try going to work."
Shuichi falls back on the bed as Yuki shuts the door and sighs.
Seguchi-san was going to kill him.
But…what was bothering him so much since the previous night? He gets back up and slides off the bed, heading towards the bathroom. What he saw in the mirror surprised him to no end. His normally slightly tanned skin was now as pale as the living room walls and his eyes gave off a wary look. He made a muffled yelp and stumbled back.
Suddenly, a hummed tune and his own whistling filled his ears.
Sorry to have startled you.
Trying to keep his balance, he grasps the shower curtain only to have it give in. Random accessories were knocked off the counter as he fell down.
Teeth clamping down…
Yuki rushes in the bathroom, unprepared for the sight of a fallen Shuichi. "Shuichi!"
…draining of blood…
"Shuichi! What's wrong?! Shuichi!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
"Eiri-san, walking back and forward like that isn't going to help Shindo-san…"
Yuki stops pacing, sighs, and takes a seat on one of the waiting room's chairs. He had been pacing back and forward for twenty minutes ever since they rushed Shuichi to the hospital. It was no doubt about it now, something was wrong with Shuichi.
Ryuichi was, for once, quiet and was latching himself in Tatsuha's arms. He was worried about his pink-haired friend. When he and Tatsuha were out for lunch, they'd gotten an urgent call from Tohma saying Shuichi had been hospitalized. That was all they needed to hear before they rushed out the restaurant, without paying. He could faintly tell that Tatsuha was stroking his hair, whispering comforting words in his ears.
Hiro was more worried than almost everyone in the room (Yuki was going crazy). The young pink-haired vocalist had been his best friend for years and yet, he's never seen him that way before. Shuichi was an abnormally healthy person and to see him sick even once a year was rare..
Everyone slowly looks up as the doctor slowly walks into the room, clipboard in hand. "Well, I'd like to say that Shindo-san is doing fine." Everyone sighs. "But there's something puzzling us.." Yuki frowns, hearing this. "We've come to the conclusion that Shindo-san passed out from blood loss .. but .. there are no cuts, punctures, or anything to justify this. It's very abnormal and from the excessive amount of blood he lost, we don't expect him to wake up for another week."
The group of people in the room were shocked. Blood loss? Yuki was even more shocked. He'd been with Shuichi all day except for that night..
"Also," Now the group was very worried. What else could possibly be wrong? "His body temperature is very oddly low. It's equal to the average temperature a corpse would have."
Just when K was about to say something, a nurse rushes out of Shuichi's hospital room, stuttering in her strange accent. "Dr. Schwarz! Z-ze boy i-iz awake! 'e j-just woke up, iz no' normal, I say!"
The doctor's eyes widen in shock and he, along with everyone else, rushes in Shuichi's room. When they get inside, they are shocked to see Shuichi chewing on a stick of gum while reading a magazine. Though he looked cheery, his skin was paler than when they brought him there and his eyes seemed to be a different color. He tiredly looks up from his magazine and smiles weakly. "Oi!"
Everyone rushes to Shuichi's bedside, asking a heap of questions at once. Hiro was almost sobbing with relief, as was Yuki. The doctor and nurse stood in the doorframe in shock and the boy's sudden recovery. Just a few minutes ago, he was tossing around in his sleep, sweating even with his low body temperature. The boy was suddenly active like he never lost blood at all. It was medically and psychologically impossible!
Shuichi smiles, glad to see that his friends were worried about him. He could slowly remember the flashes of images that went through his head when he was in the bathroom and even sleeping. Was that the night at the bus stop? He had an urge to touch his neck where he could remember something being there. He had supposedly been suffering from blood loss but how could that be possible? Not only did he feel normal but also he hadn't shed a drop of blood all week. So how could he have lost blood without shedding any?
"…Shuichi? Were you listening to me?" Hiro had been talking all along.
Shuichi flushes a bit in embarrassment and sighs, "Aa…gomen nasai, Hiro. I was thinking of something."
Hiro smiles sadly, "It's okay. I was just asking if you were hungry. I bet you are, after being in this hospital for a few hours."
Shuichi frowns, "No .. not really."
The whole group stops their talking. This wasn't possible .. Shindo Shuichi of BAD LUCK was not hungry?
Fujisaki smiles nervously, "Not even for any pocky?"
Shuichi shakes his head 'no', causing the group to go into temporary shock. Food they could understand but .. no pocky? Shuichi himself was surprised; he had no urge for pocky or even his favorite pizza. Nothing. At least not the usual foods…deep down he could feel a desire for something else. He shakes it off and smiles up at the group of people in the small room. "I'm not really hungry but I would like to go home .."
The doctor snaps out of his stupor and frowns. "That's not possible, Shindo-san! You need to stay in the hospital for another day before being able to go back home. Not to mention a relative has to sign him out---" The doctor is cut off by a lit cigarette and a pistol in his face.
Yuki frowns, "I'm taking the brat out now. He lives with me. Unless you want a cigarette burn on your face?"
K smiles and clicks the safety on his gun, "Now, I think you'd better listen to Eiri-san."
The doctor gulps and eyes the two objects in his face before nodding slowly, "Ahem .. er.. the sign out sheet is at the front desk. Miss Caldwell can you take them to sign out please?"
The nurse visibly shows her dislike for the group, huffs, and then in her strange accent says, "A'iight Doctor Schwarz, if ye say so. I'll help zees kidz sign out zen zey get out! Sheesh! Kidz zees dayz."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In Yuki's apartment, Shuichi was in the bathroom mirror examining the flesh of his neck. He was bored and Yuki locked him out of the office for being annoying. He sighs, 'And here I thought Yuki changed.' After about five minutes of searching and expecting something to be on his neck, he sighs. Nothing. Not a mark of any sort was there .. but it burned in a way. He sighs again and makes his way to the shower.
Perhaps he could wash away all the nightmares.
He turns on the shower and leaves the bathroom to gather his underclothes; Yuki had told him not to let the water run, but oh well. After grabbing his clothes, he sets them atop the toilet seat, undresses, and steps in the shower. His tense muscles loosen up, hot water trailing down his pale skin. He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. He could still remember dying it pink, all traces of his originally blonde (?) hair gone. He smiles slightly at the thought of bleaching it back to blonde and lets the hot water trail down his face.
'What is going on lately? Why do I feel as though I'm missing something .. ?'
He starts as the shower door slides open, revealing a certain blonde-haired writer.
Shuichi smiles up at Yuki, eyes glowing with seductiveness. "Care to join me ..?"
(AN: LISTEN UP! – LEMON ALERT! ._. My first one so comment if you will .. )
Without even waiting for an answer, Shuichi pulls his lover into the shower, clothing and all. Yuki, not too gently, pushes the vocalist against the wall. "Baka .. you got my favorite shirt wet."
Shuichi grins, "I love you t---" He was cut off as Yuki's lips cover his own, pulling him into a mind-blowing kiss. Shuichi closes his eyes and purrs a bit as Yuki's fingers trail around his wet back in circles. His face flushes and he moans, feeling Yuki's concealed erection brush against his own. Yuki smirks against Shuichi's lips and crushes their soaking wet bodies together, earning the pleasuring sounds of Shuichi's whimpers.
"Yuki .."
Shuichi's quick hands unbutton the writer's collared shirt and toss it to the side. Yuki teasingly trails kisses down his lover's neck, stopping at the nook of it. The writer suckles and then bites down, marking Shuichi. Feeling the teeth on his neck, Shuichi's eyes widen and he gasps in bliss. At this Yuki raises and eyebrow. Shuichi was never that sensitive there before. Slowly, Yuki's hand trails from his lover's back, to his stomach, and finally at the area right above his erection.
Shuichi squirms and whimpers impatiently, bucking his hips forward. Yuki smirks and takes a step back. Shuichi was about to question this until he opened his eyes a bit and caught sight of Yuki removing his soaking pants. The writer tosses his pants aside and smirks at the sight of the flushed, vulnerable looking boy. He wraps his arms around Shuichi's waist and enjoys the strawberry scent he gave off. The vocalist gasps as Yuki's hand makes its way towards his entrance then stops.
The pink-haired singer moans out loud at his lover's teasing. "Yuki…now…" Using the wall as support, his legs straddle the writer's waist. Yuki's smirk widens visibly. "Aa.. Shuichi. What do you want now?" Shuichi gasps out as Yuki's had wraps around his erection. "Yuki~~~! Stop teasing .. "
The blonde haired man's eyes narrow and he tightens his grip of Shuichi's member. "What was that?"
Shuichi cries out and tightens his grip on Yuki's shoulders. "Aa~! Take me now!" Finally hearing what he wanted, Yuki Eiri pushes himself inside his lover, groaning as he did so. He was more tight than usual! Shuichi gasps a bit and waits for his body to adjust to the familiar feeling. Feeling Shuichi relax, he slides out and pushes back in with more force than before.
Shuichi moans, seeing stars as Yuki repeats the process at a faster pace. The vocalist moans and trails kisses down Yuki's neck, smiling in ecstasy at his lover's groans. For some reason, Shuichi could feel that Yuki was being more loving towards him today. Shuichi's legs tighten around Yuki's waist. The writer moans music to Shuichi's ears and with every push, the pink haired vocalist's back was slamming against the wall.
Yuki gasps out as Shuichi's lips suck at his neck, marking the sensitive flesh. "…Shuichi…I'm…"
The pink haired uke's eyes glaze over as his lover spills his seed into him. Yuki groans and squeezes on Shuichi's erect member, causing the boy to cry out and spill his own seed onto their stomachs. Shuichi smiles and nuzzles his lover's neck, eyes widening as his unknown hunger increases. Yuki holds Shuichi close to himself and slides down onto the shower floor, letting the hot water wash them off.
Shuichi's vision goes hazy as he kisses Yuki's neck, tasting the chocolaty flesh. He unconsciously runs his tongue along it and bites down softly then harder, puncturing his skin. Yuki gasps and pushes Shuichi away, "What the hell?!" Shuichi's eyes widen and he shakes his head, pushing back his odd hunger. "Aa~! Gomen ne Yuki! I don't know what came over me…"
Yuki frowns, kisses the boy's nose, and then stands up. "I'm going to my office. Turn off the water, running up my bill." Shuichi smiles lightly at the grouchy blonde's retreating form. He gets up, turns off the shower, and looks in the mirror.
'Why did I do that ..? What the hell is going on?'
