I know! I know! I should focus on finishing WAI before starting anything else, but this one had been bugging me since the last chapter of Who Am I? and with a slight push of one of my favorite readers and reviewers, I decided to give it a shot.

Title: I hate your darkness, but…

The blackout curtains were drawn, bathing the spacious room in complete darkness, except for the neon light glaring from the computer sitting at the corner.

Forest green eyes stared in horror as the film played in front of his eyes.

*click* *door open*

Takuma clumsily fumbled with the keys and managed to hide the film just in time before his visitor caught a glimpse of it, thanking the lord for the highly soundproof headset he had.

"Ichijou-sempai…" the copper haired noble stared with a blank expression that Takuma learned to read as a worried expression, "You have been in your room for too long… Are you still feeling sick? Do you want me to call your doctor?"

Takuma smiled at his protégé. He always felt special when the usually stoic and very quiet noble turns talkative with him, but he felt bad all the same for keeping him at arm's length lately. It is for his own good.

"Shiki…" He sighed "I told you that it is not a good idea to associate with me right now… It won't do you any good to be framed as a traitor… Please!"

"I does not matter!" an equally calm feminine voice resonated from behind the visiting noble. Fiery orange pig tails poked and Rima's face was revealed with a Pocky trapped in her pouty mouth. "We do not belong to any faction, nor did we swear loyalty to any of the purebloods here. If loyalty was your argument, then you lose because ours lies with you… Am I not right?" She directed her question to Shiki who nodded, leaving Takuma speechless.

The copper haired noble resumed his conversation, "So? About that doctor?"

"No…" Takuma answered, defeated "I am fine, there is no need to go that far"

"Pale, tired with dark circles under your eyes is quite a stretch from fine" Rima deadpanned.

"Look guys! I am okay. I just need some rest. Moving back to the Academy, the power struggle between Yuki and Sara, keeping the newly enrolled vampires in check and upholding the rules for the safety of the day class student is not easy… So, yeah! I am tired even if I hate to admit it, but it is nothing a good couple of days resting and a good batch of blood pills can't fix."

The two younger nobles stared at each other before shrugging simultaneously "If you say so…" they trailed in a sulky voice.

Rima turned around to the corridor and pulled a trolley that is usually used for food. Takuma's brows arched up as he glanced at the food already sitting on a table, "Rima, I just had food deliver-" His words died when he saw her pushing a cart stacked with books and a small smile tracing her small face. "Since you feel like slacking off, how about doing something you enjoy."

Shiki took a book from the top and flipped its pages without focusing on the content "These are the newest release of many comics, we picked them based on the genre and few titles that we remembered you reading before."

"You guys…" Takuma shook his head, not finding the right words to thank them. He would be jumping up the skies at the treasure they gifted him if not for one thing… He glanced at the idle screen for a second before Shiki snapped him back by announcing their departure for work. He wished them a safe trip and sighed in relief when the door clicked. He quickly jumped to lock it and made sure that the windows were locked as well.

He sat back on his desk chair, a grim expression took over his cheerful mask and his lips tightened as much as his fists on his knees.

He replayed the video again. This time, he did not bother putting the headphones on because the sounds just made him feel sick. He observed with cold detachment, contrary to the panicked state he was in minutes ago.

I don't give a fuck about what you think and what you do, but it pisses the hell out of me when you look down on me when you are no better… I could have overlooked everything if not for that disgusted look you threw my way every time our paths crossed… Here! Check this and then try to sue me if you want.

At that time, the angry words of the hunter did not make sense. Takuma's brain blocked everything out, translating it into a bad dream. Even after the hunter hinted to what happened, Takuma countered with a sarcastic remark, making him out to be a liar. He wanted it to be a lie. He did not want to believe that it happened. Even with the evidence glaring at him that day, he still brushed it off as a stupid set up, he was desperate to deny everything and anything that had to do with that night.

However, with the evidence glaring back at him, he had nowhere to run or hide from this mental torture. The film was just as sickening even without sound. He cursed the good quality of it that left no room for imagination. He could not believe the conversation that happened at the beginning, he could not believe what the shorter man in it dared to do, and he could not believe the lewd sounds and encouraging words that spilled out of his mouth. He did not want to believe that he was staring at his own sweaty back, swaying up and down as he rode the obvious arousal of the hunter, seeing that length penetrating the deepest part of his body that nobody else had access to. He could not believe that he just lost his virginity to none other than Kaito Takamiya. What worse can happen? He replayed the video for the last eight hours straight, as if trying to find a reason to call it fake, as if it would just get replaced with one of his favorite anime, as if he might pinch himself and discover that it was just a nightmare woven from reading and watching too much hentai.

Sadly, none of those assumptions would ever come true because his memories of that night were coming back to him in bits and pieces over the past couple of weeks. This video just confirmed it, a little too well…

What now? Why did he give me this? What does he need from me? Why should I care anyways… He proved his point and we are even now… I will just destroy it and ask him to forget all about this… Destroy! Wait… What if… OH MY GOD! He can't be…

P.S:

I have the plan for a couple more chapters. Unlike Who Am I?, I am not sure as to where this story will lead to, so depending on the reviews that will let me know what you guys think and what you expect from it, I might decide to keep going or to drop it.

For those who did not read Who Am I?, Chapter 25 is the one which unleashed the flood of ideas for this story in case you are interested in checking it out. KaiTaku will make appearances in that story starting from then, but this story will be more focused on the development of their relationship.

Looking forward to your reviews and you are welcome to ask any question and make requests about this pairing XD

Love you.
