Title: Bloodlust

Pairings/Characters: Jack/Ianto, Captain Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato, Gwen Williams

Warnings: Not sure at the moment, I'm betting for Fluff and Angst though

Summary: Here's my weird way of explaining this one: Ianto is bitten by an alien which slowly changes him. Can the Team stop the effects before it's too late?

Author Notes: …why do I always write it with the question at the end of the summary…it's like…dum dum dum!!!! I couldn't come up with a name for this story so I stole it from a TV show, so special thanks to them. Okay I'm done.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Torchwood, if I did, Ianto wouldn't be put in all these life or death situations, he'd be in my room. But I don't, sorry. I don't own the name of the story either, sorry guys.

Chapter One – Field Assignment

Jack, Ianto and Gwen walked carefully in the darkness of the night, the shadows almost jumping out at them. The cold air chilled them to the bones and the only way they could see through the darkness was with the small flashlights they carried.

"Do you know what it is we're actually looking for yet?" Gwen asked irritably.

"Still waiting for Tosh to tell me that." Jack mumbled into the comm so that the Japanese woman could hear him.

"I don't know what it is Jack. I've never seen anything like it. All I can do is warn you if it's coming."

Gwen sighed, "Thanks Tosh."

"Jack, look I don't –"

"Ssh Tosh, radio silence, please?"

Silence roamed between them and the cold air hit them, making them shudder.

"Why do aliens always choose the worst times to come out?" Ianto groaned as he moved forward.

"You're just upset because this call interrupted my very thorough –"

"Stop!" Gwen interrupted the captain, "I really don't want to know."

Jack grinned cheekily as he continued moving forward next to Ianto. They looked around the area for any signs of the alien. Jack smirked as he realized that they were in the same forest he had met the Welshman in, when he helped him with that weevil. He sighed happily, relishing in the memories of Ianto in tight jeans.

"Jack." Ianto mumbled.

Jack moved towards him, looking over his shoulder as Ianto gestured to the tree, shining his light on it. Blood stained the bark and Jack grimaced as he saw it. That meant there'd have to be a clean up, they'd have to make up a cover story for a victim. Jack really hated having to make cover stories.

"Tosh, do you have any idea where this thing is?" Jack asked hesitantly.

"I lost it. You're going blind until I find it again. I'm sorry Jack, I wish I could help you."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jack hissed angrily.

"I tried to tell you but you wanted radio silence."

"Well what are we supposed to do now?" Ianto whispered, trying to understand the situation.

Jack murmured, "Stay perfectly still."

The whole area went quiet as they waited for their next move.

"Ianto, it's behind you!" Tosh yelled through the comms as she saw the creature reappear on the CCTV.

Ianto turned around just as the creature pounced. Ianto yelled out in shock and terror as he fell to the ground, trying to hold the creature back.

"Ianto!" Jack ran towards the sound of the Welshman's screams.

Jack threw his light over the creature. His eyes widened as he saw the creature trying to bite Ianto and the younger man losing the fight to stop it. Jack pulled out his webley and shot the creature, getting its attention. The creature looked over at Jack, preparing to jump at him before the older man shot it again and again, until it finally fell to the ground, lifeless. Jack ran over to Ianto, still screaming in pain on the floor.

"Ianto! Talk to me, what's wrong!?" He asked, panic stricken.

"Shit! It burns Jack, my arm is on fire!" He yelled out in agony.

"Owen, we need you down here now!" Gwen yelled into the comms.

"What happened?" Owen asked.

"Just get down here, I think Ianto's hurt."

Jack looked over the younger man and saw the blood flowing from his arm.

"Ianto, look at me, you're alright okay, it's a flesh wound, Owen can fix this. You're going to be fine." Jack said sternly.

"It's burning! Why is it burning Jack?" Ianto whimpered.

"I don't know Ianto, just look at me. I'm right here alright?" Jack tried to sound reassuring, no matter how scared he was feeling.

"God it hurts so much." Ianto's voice got quieter and Jack panicked, grabbing the Welshman's shoulders. Ianto yelled out in pain at the sudden touch.

"Sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't know. Just stay awake Yan, Owen will be here soon." Jack smiled up at him, "Owen, hurry up!"

"I'll be there in a couple of minutes."

"I'm so tired Jack." Ianto murmured, struggling to keep his eyes open.

"No!" Jack yelled, shaking the younger man lightly, "Stay awake. Talk to me, tell me about your day."

"You know about my day Jack, all you ever do is watch me walk around the hub." Ianto pointed out, making the older man chuckle unenthusiastically because of the situation.

Owen pulled up and ran out of the SUV towards Ianto.

"Damn, this looks rough. Come on Jack, help me take him to the SUV, bring him back to the hub. We'll have to come back for that thing. We don't have time."

Jack pulled Ianto up in his arms. The younger man screamed out in agony as the older man lifted him.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Yan!"

"Just hurry the fuck up!"
