Gackt and Hyde slept peacefully that night, Gackt cradled in Hyde's strong arms, happy to have finally told him the truth. He had already made the arrangements, in the morning they would meet one of Gackt's friends, Klaha, to find a real solution.
In the morning Hyde woke up and looked down to Gackt, brushing his fingers thru his dirty blonde hair. "Morning love." He said planting a soft kiss on his forehead. Gackt looked up at him and smiled, "Morning," he said yawning softly. Hyde stood up and walked to the window, "Beautiful day..." he said looking toward the rising sun.
"It will only get better." Gackt said standing next to him and placing his head on Hyde's shoulder.
"So, where do we have to go, Darling?" Hyde said looking at him with deep eyes.
"Klaha's." Gackt responded, pointing towards a large domed building in the distance.
They both got dressed and ate a light breakfast. Gackt's heart felt so much lighter as if the weight of the world was taken off his fragile soul. He knew only good would come out of this, they would be together forever, at least that's the impression he got from Klaha's explanation. Hyde grabbed Gackt's hand and said, "Let's go." Gackt looked towards him slowly and nodded.
The two of them began to walk down the narrow streets, their hand holding attracting some stares and looks of disgust. One man muttered, "fags..." as he walked past them, they were accustomed to this, they decieded to not let it bother them. Hyde looked towards Gackt, he didn't know what he would do without him. Before he knew he was living a lie, he had lots of girlfriends but he never felt connected to any of them. He only had them because the manager of his band, L'arc en Ciel, told him he needed to. He met Gackt while on tour in Japan. Gackt helped him realize that he was living a lie, at that point they became lovers.
The mid-day sun beat down on the cobblestone road as the two arrived at Klaha's office, Gackt rang the doorbell and yelled out for him. Klaha slowly opened the door and smiled at the two with his thin red lips. He was a tall slender man dressed in a pure white robe, his black hair tossed around his head in no real style. He embraced the two and said in a deep, graceful tone, "Ah, you both made it alright, come in, come in." He hurried them in and motioned for them to sit on a fine couch. "So, I have good news for you two, I have found a way." He said with a chuckle.
"What is it?" Hyde demanded with a rage Gackt had never seen in him before.
"Well we could turn you into a tree, those seem to live forever." Klaha said with an intensely serious look in his eyes.
"Klaha..." Gackt said shaking his head.
"Well, what I really meant to say is that we can preform the baptism of blood." Klaha said looking towards Hyde.
"Well, what do we do?" Hyde said demandingly.
"It's the only way to turn someone into a vampire without bites or solar problems. It will take some time and it will not be painless, but I think it is worth it. Think about it, you'll live forever and you just need to bite some bum every week or so." Klaha said pacing his office.
Hyde looked up at him and said, "That's perfect! When can we start?"
"Now I guess."Gackt said looking towards Klaha who nodded confidently. "Great then." Hyde kissed his lover gently on the cheek and whispered, "Thankyou."
Klaha led them down to a lower level of his complex and said, "I'm going to have to go get the necessary equipment and my assisstant, so you can have this time to do whatever." Gackt and Hyde both nodded and looked towards each other. Deep inside both of them knew something could go wrong, that there was something Klaha wasn't telling them. Klaha left and continued with his task, leaving the two alone. Almost the second he shut the door, Hyde embraced Gackt and said feverishly, "Thankyou, thankyou. Oh god, I love you so much!"
Gackt responed in a torrent of emotion, "I love you too, I'll do anything for you. I can't imagine a future without you, I never want to leave you." Hyde pulled him closer and kissed him deeply, letting his tounge slip in and out of his mouth. Gackt sighed and pushed up against Hyde's body, softly kneading into his back. Hyde moaned softly and arched his head back, exposing his neck for Gackt. He began to slowly trail kisses from Hyde's mouth to his neck where he slowly began to suck. He felt a new sensation, something familiar, from the past. He felt an intense need for Hyde, he wanted to cosume him body and soul. He began to suck more intensely, taking more of his succulent flesh into his mouth. Hyde yelped in pain slightly, but the pain slowly turned to pleasure, his eyes slowly began to roll back in his head as he reached a state of nirvana. Gackt closed his eyes and realized what he was really doing, he let go of his dazed partner and wiped the saliva off of the large red mark. Hyde slowly regained his reason and looked towards Gackt. "What in hell was that?" He said with a large smile on his face.
"Truthfully, I don't know. It just happened." Gackt said with a puzzled expression on his slender face. Gackt sat on the cold stone floor, trying to make sense of what just happened. Hyde sat against his back and put his head in his knees, he knew Klaha would be coming back soon to perform the ritual.
A few moments later Klaha burst thru the door and said, "We're ready!"
