AN: Hiiiii. I decided to write a story again. This is different from the last one I attempted. Hopefully this one will turn out well.
I'm warning you all now, this story contains mature content and it should not be viewed by anyone who can't handle it.
As a side note, I stink at summaries. If I ever come up with a better one, I'll post it right away.
As another side note, some of the characters may seem a little OOC at times. Just bare with me, okay?

Chapter 1
"Come on, Cagalli! We don't have all night!" shouted a girl with brunette hair and stunning blue eyes, "We need to make it to that party!"
"Alright, alright! I'm coming. Jeez," replied another girl with golden hair and gorgeous amber eyes, also known as Cagalli Yula Attha. "I don't understand why you're dragging me to this party anyways. I have many things to get done," she sighed as she walked out of her bedroom clad in a pair of denim jeans, a black halter top, and pair of knee-high boots.
"Cagalli, you need to let loose for once. You're over-working yourself again. You know your loving brother, Kira, is going to kill you once he finds out that you're not having fun with your best friend!" her best friend, also known as Miriallia Haw, chuckled. She stood up when she saw her friend enter the room.
Cagalli rolled her eyes at her friends responses. "Let's just go before I decide to change my mind," she sighed as she grabbed her coat, her keys, and her cell phone.
"That's what I thought!" Mir thought. She walked over to Cagalli.
They both exited the apartment that Cagalli lived in. Cagalli had made sure to turn off all lights and lock the door before leaving completely. The last time she left a light or two on, her boyfriend, Yuna Roma Seiren, had scolded her because they were wasting electricity which means they were wasting money. As if it mattered, Cagalli was the one who paid the bills.
"Cagalli, you're taking forever! Must you check everything?" Mir suddenly burst out.
"You remember what happened last time," Cagalli began, "Yuna screamed his head off at me." She turned towards her friend to signal that they could leave now.
"Oh as if it matters! Why are you even with him, Cagalli?! He's sooo not worth it," Mir replied.
They both began walking down the hall towards the elevator. One of them reached up to press the down button, as they waited, their conversation continued on.
"Ya know, I don't even know why I'm still with him. There's just something about him that's keeping me going," Cagalli said, waiting for the elevator.
"You're one weird person, my friend," Mir sighed.
Just then, the elevator rang and the doors flew open. They both stepped in and Cagalli pressed the first level floor button. The doors flew closed and the elevator started it's descent. As they reached the bottom floor, the doors of the elevator flew open once again to let it's passengers off. The two girls exited and continued toward the front doors of the apartment building. As they left the building, Cagalli and Mir stopped on the sidewalk.
"So where exactly is this party at?" Cagalli asked with one eyebrow raised.
"It's at one of my friend's house. I work with the guy," Mir responded with a light laugh. "Let's get going!"
The two girls began to walk towards Mir's car. Before they actually got to the car, Mir took out her remote control and unlocked the doors. Mir climbed into the driver's seat while Cagalli climbed into the passenger seat. The engine soon roared with life and off they went.
About 20 minutes later, the car pulled up to what seemed like a building that held what looked like condominiums. They ended up parking on a side street not far from the building. The two girls climbed out of the car and were off to the party.
"I can't believe I agreed to go to this party with her. Yuna's going to kill me when I get home," Cagalli though as they neared the building.
"You do know where this party is right?" she said while turning towards her friend.
"Of course I do, it's on the third floor," Mir replied while entering the building.
The two companions made their way to the elevator that was wide open as two other people were leaving. They ran into it and hit the button for the third floor. The doors flew closed and up they went. In a matter of seconds, the lift had stopped and the doors flew open again.
"Ah! Here we are!" Mir smiled.
Cagalli sighed again as she followed Mir closely into the condo.
"Come on, let me go introduce you to my friend and then we can start having fun!" Mir shouted with excitement in her voice over the music that was blaring from speakers within the living room.
Within a few minutes, Mir had found her friend and quickly walked over to him with Cagalli still following close behind.
"Hey Tolle! This is my best friend, Cagalli, the girl I was telling you about yesterday at work!" Mir shouted to her friend.
"Hi Cagalli! Nice to meet you! I've heard so much about you from Mir! There's drinks in the kitchen and the bathroom is just beyond the stairs over there! Have fun!" Tolle yelled over the music while she shook hands with Cagalli.
Cagalli shook the mans hand and nodded her head to let him know she heard him. Once they let go of each other's hands, she pulled Mir to the side for a second.
"I'm going to get a drink, do you want one?!" she shouted over the music.
Mir just shook her head and pointed to Tolle, "I'm going to hang out with him for a bit, are you okay by yourself?!" she replied in the same tone.
Cagalli nodded her head and shooed her friend away. "I think she might like him a bit," she chuckled to herself. A second later, she entered the kitchen and began looking around at what drinks were present. From what she could see, there was nothing but alcohol and a few soda brands there. " I might as well let loose a bit like Mir said." she thought as she took a beer from a big cooler filled with nothing but beer. She cracked open the bottle and took a few sips before exploring the place a bit. She had found that there was 2 bedrooms downstairs and a bathroom that both rooms shared. There was also dining room and of course, the living room. As she continued strolling along the condo, she remembered that there was stairs. As she came upon them, she stopped and looked up. Not wanting to be rude, she decided that she was going to stay downstairs.
About ten minutes before Cagalli and Mir had joined the party, another person had joined. He had emerald green eyes and midnight blue hair and went by the name of Athrun Zala. He wasn't a normal human being though, he was much, much different. He was, in fact, a vampire.
He usually came to random parties so he could feed on people he didn't know that way it would bother him less. He wasn't fond of the fact that he had to drink human blood to live, he hated it more than anything in the world.
As he was staking out his next "victim," he just happened to have looked over at the front door as two girls were entering the apartment. He instantly froze up when he saw a girl with golden hair and what looked like beautiful amber eyes. He immediately forgot about the fact that he wasn't here to meet new people or what not, his thoughts were filled with nothing but the golden haired girl he saw a few moments ago. He shook his head to rid himself of the thoughts as the two girls were walking by.
As the girl and her friend passed Athrun, he backed up a bit to let them pass to go into the living room. He decided to move into a corner and watch as the girl conversed a bit before heading into the kitchen. He continued to watch her as she roamed the home. He also watched as she grabbed beer after beer every 20 minutes.
Cagalli was on her fourth beer when the alcohol started kicking in. She wasn't completely drunk, she was merely buzzed by this point. She was good when it came to alcohol. The last time she was drunk, it took her eight beers to do it. Kira definitely wasn't happy when he found out about that, but he didn't hinder her drinking though. She kept at it when it came to the next party.
"Mir! Let's dance!" she shouted over the music while walking up to her friend. She didn't even give Mir a chance to answer, she grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to the dance floor.
Mir couldn't contain her laughter. She hadn't seen her friend having this much fun since she started dating Yuna. She was happy that she finally let loose. She was a little shocked when Cagalli invited two other guys to come dance with them. When she said that she let loose, she didn't mean this loose. Those thoughts quickly left her mind when she noticed that one of those guys Cagalli invited over was Tolle.
The whole crowd that was dancing then went crazy when the DJ began playing "Low" by Flo Rida.
(AN: Sorry, I thought it was a good song that everyone could dance too. :D Check it out if you haven't already.)
Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans Boots with the fur The whole club was lookin at her She hit the flo
Next thing you know Shawty got low low low low low low low low
Everyone on the dance floor was dancing all over each other. This included Cagalli on some random guy and Mir on Tolle.

Next thing you know Shawty got low low low low low low low low
Athrun was the only one who wasn't on the dance floor at this point. He was sitting in a chair in a random corner of the room. He just couldn't take his eyes off of Cagalli. With her dancing all over a guy made it even harder.
He gritted his teeth just seeing her doing that with someone else. His anger was slowly flaring up as each minute passed. If anyone actually looked at him, they'd notice his anger was causing his eye to twitch a bit.
"Wait a second...," he thought, "Why am I even getting mad? I don't even know who that girl is." He ran his fingers through his hair and then down his face. "I'm not even here for her anyways, I'm here to feed." he concluded in his mind. That thought instantly made him freeze up. He hated thinking about having to feed on other people. He had tried feeding on animals once, but it just didn't help him at all. It made him want more and more, so he went back to humans.
As he lifted his head to scan the floor again, he noticed that Cagalli was walking away again. His eyes followed her as she left the room. He got up to get a better view of where she was going. He noticed that she had stopped at the bottom of the stairs again. After what seemed like a little inner struggle, she decided to finally go up.
He cautiously followed her up the stairs making sure that no one had noticed he was following the blonde girl. He slowly entered the room that the stairs led to.
Before the song had ended, Cagalli decided she was going to get another drink. She used her head to show Mir that she was going towards the kitchen. Her friend nodded back, quickly understanding what she was saying and continued to dance with her partner. Cagalli winked at her friend and left the room.
"Those two look so great together!" she thought to herself. As she came upon the stairs, she decided to stop again. "Maybe I could just take a peak...," she thought again, "I'll just say I thought the bathroom was up there if someone asks," she thought up as an excuse.
Having her excuse ready, she made her way up the stairs fairly quickly and entered the room. She was a little surprised when she found out it was just another bedroom. She slowly made her way around the room gandering at little items set among the dressers and shelves; when she came across a picture, she would stare a few extra minutes.
"This guy is either a player or he has a big family," Cagalli thought with a look of disgust on her face.
"Ya know...It's rude to snoop around someone's personal things," Athrun scoffed with a smirk on his face.
Cagalli instantly turned around wondering who was watching her, "And it's rude to sneak up on someone," she replied while raising an eyebrow at him. She stared at him for another moment before going back to her business.
Athrun chuckled a bit before pushing himself off the wall he was leaning on. "Is this person that interesting that you need to continue to stare at his belongings?" he questioned her while slowly walking up to her.
Cagalli decided to ignore his question and continue on with her business. As she came to the end of yet another dresser, she noticed that there was a slightly opened door right next to it along the wall. She silently leaned in and soon learned it was a bathroom. She quietly pushed the door open and entered the bathroom.
Athrun couldn't help but chuckle again at her actions. "Now you're snooping around in this person's bathroom. This person must really interest you very much," he said as he walked up to the entrance of the bathroom and leaned himself on the wall again.
"What about you? You seem to keep following me when it's clearly obvious I don't want you around," Cagalli retorted as she hopped up onto the bathroom counter.
"Maybe I'm interested in you," he smirked. He pushed himself off the wall and sat down on the closed toilet.
"And maybe I'm interested in you," she responded with a little glint in her eye. "I'm Cagalli. Cagalli Yula Attha," she continued.
"Pleased to meet you, Ms. Athha, I'm Athrun Zala," he smirked again.
Cagalli hopped down off the counter and started messing with her belt buckle. She leaned in towards Athrun and stopped at his ear. "Tell me...How interested are you?" she whispered into his ear seductively. She had completely unbuttoned her pants and began untying her top that was around her neck.
His heart skipped a beat when she whispered into his ear. He didn't except that to come from her. He quickly regained himself. "Now, I don't think you want to do anything you're going to regret in the morning," he responded with a light laugh.
"What's there to regret?" she replied while taking her shirt off.
His heart stopped this time, or so it felt. He quickly regained himself again. "She's definitely drunk," he thought, "She won't even remember this. I better leave while I have the chance." He stood up and walked over to the entrance of the bathroom.
"I'll be back. I'm going to go get a drink. Would you like anything while I'm gone?" Athrun politely asked. He was about to lose himself when she started taking her pants off slowly.
"Bring me another beer?" she responded.
He nodded his head and exited the room as fast as he could. He felt like he was going to explode any minute if he continued watching her so-called strip tease. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs to see what was happening around the party. He noticed that they were now having a drinking contest and people had started making out all over the place. He raised his eyebrow at the actions being performed and entered the kitchen. He grabbed two beers and sat down at the table for a few minutes to collect his thoughts.
"I'm not supposed to be here doing this. I'm here to feed," he reminded himself, "I need to quit this and find someone." He took a sip of his beer that he opened seconds ago. "I guess I could wait until tomorrow night to feed. I'm sure I can last that long. I've lasted longer." he thought.
Cagalli hopped up onto the counter again and crossed one leg over the other and waited for Athrun to come back. While he was going to get drinks, she had successfully removed the rest of her clothing except for her bra and panties.
"Who the hell are you?!" somebody yelled from the bathroom's entrance, "And why the hell are you half naked?!"
"You're...You're the guy in the pictures?" Cagalli questioned while jumping off the counter.
"Damn straight I am. Now why the hell are you in my damn room?!" the owner shouted back clearly angry.
"I...I...," she stuttered. She couldn't come up with a response. This man had her afraid.
Within seconds, the man had lunged at Cagalli and began strangling her.
Athrun sighed as he leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. This was getting too complicated for him for some reason. Seconds later, he shot up out of his chair. "Cagalli!" he thought, "Someone's hurting her!"
He rushed out of the kitchen and up the stairs as fast as he could without making a scene. As he entered the room, he noticed that there was another man in the room. His eyes instantly lit up with anger. From what he could see, the man was strangling her and it looked like he was about to hurt her even more when he saw a hand got to his pants.
"I would suggest you let go of her..." Athrun began as he inched closer and closer to the man, "Or you won't live to see tomorrow."
The man turned around to see who was threatening him. Athrun could tell he was just as drunk as Cagalli possibly was.
"And what are you going to do to me if I don't let go of her?!" the man shouted back stupidly.
"Like I said...You won't live to see tomorrow," Athrun replied with more anger in his voice.
"Hah! Whatever! Me and this bitch have some business to finish. Why don't you go and take your puny self and bother someone else?!" the man scoffed. He turned around to continue his business.
This made Athrun more mad. As his anger flared to it's full capacity, he lunged at the man. He had successfully removed the hand that was around Cagalli's neck and began strangling the other man in her place. He watched as Cagalli dropped to the ground holding her neck and gasping for air.
Cagalli looked up to see who her knight in shining armor was. To her surprise it was Athrun, the man she had been waiting for. She was shocked even more when she saw a pair of fangs protrude from his mouth and his eyes were bright red with anger. She became scared even more.
Athrun looked at Cagalli one last time before he began to have his "victim." He saw the look in her eyes and he knew that she was deathly afraid of what was unfolding in front of her. He retracted his fangs and brought the man's ear close enough for him to listen.
"I swear, if you ever just so much as look at her again...I won't spare you next time," Athrun whispered into his ear before you tightened his grip on the man's next. The man soon passed out and Athrun let go.
He anger quickly resided when he saw the frightened girl in front of him. He dashed over to her and kneeled down in front of her. Since she was already against the cabinets, she couldn't move back any further.
"I'm sorry you had to see that, my dear," he quietly said to her, "I promise you'll never witness that again." He reached out to touch her but she pulled away. He could see how frightened she was through her eyes. "I won't hurt you," he continued, "Don't worry." He tried to touch her again and failed.
"Has there ever been a reason for me to hurt you?" he sighed, showing her a look of concern.
She shook her head indicating that her answer was, in fact, a 'no.'
"Will you trust me, then?" he asked while holding out his hand.
She hesitated for a second before slowly reaching out for his hand. He grasped her hand and held it tightly.
"Gather your clothes." he commanded and she did as she was told. "Just trust me," he said before picking her up, bridal style. She was afraid at first and struggled a bit before she realized he was just holding her.
"Close your eyes and hold on tight. Don't let go to anything no matter what," he whispered to her. She did what she was told once again.
Seeing that she ready, he had walked over to the balcony that was just across the room. He opened the doors and walked outside.
"Trust me," he said to her before he leaped into the air.
AN: Well, I don't think that was too bad for my first chapter. I hope? I'll let you guys be the judge of that.
If I see that all I get is flames, I'm probably going to post one more chapter and see what happens after that. I hope you guys like it. We'll see what the next chapter holds!
Also...Flames are accepted. Any type of profanity that is used with an intent to flame, will be ignored though
Oh, if there's any grammatical or spelling errors, please excuse those. Hee hee.
Until next time!
Ciao ciao!
