Prologue: "Her Blood"

-Tamaki POV-

No.

Why is this happening?

I can't believe I just…

Haruhi…

"Se-senpai?"

Her voice filled the silence, snapping me off my guilt to her. I wiped my mouth clean once again. "Ha-Haruhi?"

"You're a—"

"I'm sorry, Haruhi… I'm sorry…" I continued to repeat those words to Haruhi, who is still holding her bleeding neck. I can see her eyes already wet. Then tears fall down slowly to her cheek. I tried to hold her, but she stepped away from me. She's… scared of me…? Why the hell is this happening, dammit!

A few moments ago...

"Thank you for your visit, princess." I bowed to his last customer for today, and waved her goodbye. I let out a sigh. Today was a very tiring day, since a team from another school visited for a friendly b-ball fight, with a whooping lot of cheerleaders. Girls. In other words, customers. I turned to my club members—well, member, Haruhi, and put my hands on my hips. "Phew! Days like this really tire me, no matter how much I love being a host." I grunted. "It's my first time serving like this, senpai. It's a lot more tiring for me!" Haruhi replied with a smile and a small laugh. Ahh, Haruhi's smile. Refreshing as usual, I thought. I smiled brightly, loving the view in front of my eyes. "Well, I though you must learn more, so I called you toda—"

*CRAAASSSHHH!*

The sound came from the snack room. It surprised me, and I rushed to take a look with Haruhi.

"Uwaaa! Takashi, I broke it!" It seems like our Loli-shota host Honey-senpai accidentally broke a tea cup. "Calm down, Mitsukuni." Said Mori-senpai. He proceeds to clean up the shattered cup. I ran to him and asked if Haruhi and I can help him out, and he nodded. But shortly afterwards Honey-senpai cried, so I told Mori-senpai to calm him down and let us do the work. I also ordered to host club to call it a day and go home. No, I didn't do it because I wanted to be alone with Haruhi, but to teach Haruhi about our club members' behaviours. Well, I also did it for something else… I hope it won't happen tho—oh, shit.

"Ow ow owww…." Haruhi clenched to her hands. Blood dripped from her bleeding pointer finger. This is what I hate. I faintly grabbed my throat and gulped. Then, I hold her hand, while still trying to hold my tongue from licking it. "Which one?" I asked with a worrying tune. "Thi-this one…" She blushed. Then it came.

"Ca-can you lick it for me, senpai?"

Damn.

"Why?" I replied.

"Well, saliva is a good pain killer, ri-right?" She blushed furiously.

Now, I'm having a debate on my mind. One thinking says 'No Tamaki, who knows what you'll do to her?', but another said 'Go on, this is your chance to taste it… Imagine how sweet it would be?'

Oh, shut up! I… I…!

-Haruhi POV-

Tamaki-senpai blanked out, silenced. I put on an embarrassed face. Maybe I shouldn't have asked him after all.

"S-senpai? It's okay if you don't want to—"

"No, Haruhi." He cut me off. Then, he slowly slid my hand and opened his mouth. He took my finger in his mouth and gently licked it. Wait, is it just me or were his canines really sharp? Well, I don't really care, but… he seems to be enjoying it somehow. Then, he changed his pattern from licking to sucking. "Sen…pai?" I asked him quietly. He looked at me, and I gasped. His eyes were crimson red.

"Wh-what the…?" My hands are trembling. Don't tell me he's what I think he is. Those are mythical creatures! They… They don't exist! He faintly grinned. Then, he let go of my hand and pushed me to the wall. I gasped and groaned in surprise and hurt. He locked me in my position, hands held tight to the wall above my head. I shivered. What is he going to with me?

"Haruhi…" he whispered to my ear. Then, he lowered his head to my neck and licked it slow. "S-senpai! What are you—ah!" I felt sharp things digging in my neck.

He bit me.

I could feel his canines… no, fangs, buried inside of me. I resisted, but he held me tighter. Then I felt my blood sucked out. I tried to pull away again, but he pushed me back and groaned. "Senpai! Stop!" I was finally able to pull him away. My suggestion was true. His eyes were the colour of blood, and I saw it widened. I grabbed ahold of the place where he bit me. Then, he muttered my name. "Haruhi…"

"Senpai… are you… a…" I scarily spoke to him. He looked away.

"A vampire…?"

A/N: Phew. My first vampire fic! Wrote one because there's not too many TamaHaru vamp fics here. And also my first fic that actually turned out good. My other fics are script-styled, so I'm not sure if I should put it up here. This is un-Betaed, but I put it up on facebook first to see my friends' responses, then put it up here if nothing else is wrong. But I'm always taking tips, so RnR please!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran, because if I do it would have vampires in it.
