WW0604: Haha, wow I'm going to type while high on sleeping medicine…this has to turn out interesting. Well, as you might know--with that last note on being 'high on medicine'--I'm sick. Like, sick as a dog…kidding about the dog thing, for all I know, a dog may be healthier than I am at the moment. Anyway…uhh, it appears I've became friends with a cold and it makes sleeping almost impossible for me since my nose is so clogged up that I can't even breathe. Soooo, my mom made me take some flue medicine that's suppose to make me sleepy and easier for me to sleep. Yeah, not tired! *sighs* So I'm going to try to get a chapter posted with my (what's suppose to be) messed up, drowsy mind.
Now for the actual story stuff. NO ONE SEEMS TO LIKE MY LAST CHAPTER!!!!! I was going along with the 'ok so 3 reviews and I'll update' thing, but only ONE person reviewed my last chapter and now I'm like…crushed. Lol I don't know why it turned out so bad, I actually had some confidence with that chapter. Now that I think about it though it could be the stupid 'yaoi moment' that I threw in there, that turned out miserably bad, I guess. I'd like to know what made that chapter not as…what's the word…enjoyed (I think…) as the ones before it. Ok ok, DISCLAIMER!
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!!!! SERIOUSLY, NADA!! but I do have a cosplay for this anime now, teehee.
Ok now, someone (I forgot who and I'm too lazy to go look up the user name) asked me, 'why is Fuji a vampire and the rest of his family isn't?' Well, I think that question may be answered in the chapter. Honestly, I can't be too sure myself, I write as I go, but I'm almost positive that Tezuka will bring it up.
The story left off right after Fuji and Tezuka had some 'fun time' in the shower together and now they're both walking to a public tennis court.
Chapter 3: A Vampires Fear
-Fuji's POV-
I'm walking with Tezuka now, going to a common public park where he and I usually plays tennis at. It was a bit of a long walk, but naturally it doesn't bother us. This type of thing gives us a good chance to talk, usually that is. It was oddly quiet this time, the only sound crossing my ear were our foot steps and the occasional car passing by. My eyes were glued to the concrete pavement below me as I walked right next to Tezuka, matching my strides to his. It was his voice, that angelic voice I absolutely love, is what brought me out of the trance the pavement had apparently given me.
"About before…in the shower…" I look at him as he speak. He's looking forward, not looking at me in hopes to hide the embarrassment in the topic that's to come.
"Yes?"
"You realize that is was only because I suddenly got a rush of hormones right? I mean, it wasn't like I was trying to…claim you or anything." He fought with trying to pick the right words, glancing at me only twice as he said those few sentences.
I bite down on my lip; I was hoping for something different like 'I meant to say that I do love you, Fuji. All those times I called my love for you only as the love for a brother were just me trying to be overprotective of my captain status. Will you be mine forever?' I knew I was far from what he wanted. It seemed really silly, especially the last part about me being his forever. One thing's for sure, he has my virginity forever as I have his.
"Oh yeah, totally. I wasn't born yesterday you know." I say with slight amusement in my voice, gently elbowing his right arm with my left. It earned a strange, confused look from Tezuka. Ok, maybe I was trying too hard to keep my mask strong.
"Right…just wanted to make sure there was no…misunderstanding or anything." he mumbled slightly while staring forward again. I sigh in relief when he didn't bother asking about my strange behavior. I bed strange was an understatement, that was way out of my personality line that not even I, the one who said it, knows where it even came from.
The tennis courts are coming into view now as we finally enter the park. Like usual, it wasn't occupied, but you'd be surprised with how Tennis is becoming a hit when you hear about the amazing and miracle middle schoolers and how they can to intense moves like Snake Shot or The Twist Serve. Even though those two can be common for those who come right out of the beginner stage.
Tezuka and I are both wearing our regular tennis uniforms, so of course it's going to cause some attention, but it never bothers us. For some reason though it seems to be getting to Tezuka today. For all I know it could just him being 'overprotective of his captain status'. I laugh at myself. Boy how that silly thought of him confessing is getting to me.
"We'll warm up before we actually get serious. No need to rush ourselves or pull any muscles." he grumbles out. Yup, he's annoyed with our audience.
"Whatever you want, Captain." I say, getting a small chuckle from Tezuka. We both stretch out our arms and legs, just like any other athlete and finally remove our jackets and sweat pants to reveal our actual tennis uniforms. I'd say there's about twenty people around the fence now and obviously Tezuka's glaring at each one of them. Right as he's about to serve I stop him. "Tezuka, are we going to pick someone to be ref?" I fight the smirk back. I can't help but make a comment like that for him and the stupid sex we went though this morning. Does he realize that I'm totally out of focus now because of that?
-Tezuka's POV-
Oh, damn Fuji and his stupid rules. Personally I was hoping for a self judge match, but whatever floats his boat. I'm actually not in the mood of any screaming fan girls…and boys. With a sigh, I turn to face the fence and pick a random male to be the ref. The one time I picked a female she was too goo-goo gaa-gaa over me and Fuji that she couldn't even keep an accurate score.
When the stupid boy finally makes in the high chair I make the serve, not giving him a chance to even make the final call that the match is about to start. Fuji easily returns my serve and immediately approaches the net. It doesn't really catch me by surprise for I always process the possibilities while in play. I make a high lob to the back, right corner of the court, but before I even knew it, Fuji was there. High in the air, racket up, Fuji makes a smash in the opposite corner on my court.
"Love 15." the boy calls. I fight against flashing my fangs in an irritated way towards Fuji. With there being too many witnesses, it would be a desaster is someone happens to see them and call out 'Vampire!' I grab a new ball and bounce it a few times on the court before making another serve. It was a new one though, not one I haven't used in this match yet. My Ace Serve. Fuji never stood a chance for the unexpected serve as it bounces once on his side of the court and right into the fence, making a few people recoil away thinking it was going to go through the fence. "15-15." the boy calls again.
"Saa, I forgot that move." Fuji says while his serious expression starts to show. This is when things really gets interesting, but before I even had a chance to make my next serve both me and Fuji locks gazes at each other before looking to my right, his left. We both can smell it. Another vampire like ourselves is in the park with us. To fight back the snareling and the 'show and tell' of my fangs, I bite down on my lips, but no too hard for there to be any blood and carefull enough to not show my fangs. "Shit…" I hear Fuji cuss under his breath, only low enough for me and whoever the other vampire may be to hear.
We had to think of something and something fast in order to get off the courts. For all we know it could be someone from the Vampire Council. In situations…almost similar to this, me and Fuji has a plan. We once again meet each others gazes and I make a simple quick serve for the corner of Fuji's court. He returns it right to me in a simple lob and I smash it right for his courts again, making a quick glance at the area where we smelled a vampire to see a new pair or eyes watching us from far behind the crowd. It wasn't anyone I recognized and due to that my nerves started to rise. It was only a second that I looked at the man and now I was watching Fuji and he pretends to be pulling off his Higuma Otoshi, but instead of pulling it off like the master he was, he twisted his leg in a way that would make anyone cringe and fell to the ground, yelling in pain while gripping the calf of his right leg. Now the charade act begins.
"Fuji?!" I yell as I keep my racket in one hand and easily hop of the net and right at Fuji's side. I hold him up and close to myself. "It's ok Fuji, I'll get you home and we'll take care of that leg."
"No!" he protests. "I can continue…I-ow!" He once again yells in pain as he tries to stand.
"Don't be silly…" I casually say while taking his racket from him and carefully lay him on the ground. I quickly wink at him, a signal we use to let each other know that the act seems to be working then run over to our bags and started to load out rackets.
-Fuji's POV-
I know this has to be serious. If it was a false alarm it's usually Tezuka gripping his left arm, yelling in pain and me going to his side to see if he's well. Of course, then we'd have a small argument and finally go to the compromise of continuing the match, but for him to skip his act only means that we really need to get out of there and so, while doing one of my counters I have to pretende to pull a muscle. Actually, I kinda over did it with the stunt.
Finally Tezuka's back at my side, both bags slung over his right shoulder as he uses his good arm to help me stand. He then leans over to whisper in my ear, "You really over did it this time huh? You didn't fallow our script." I only shrug slightly as I allow him to help me off the courts. When we were sure to be far enough from the humans as possible, he quickly hands me my bag to make the carrying loads even and we both take off running at our inhuman, vampire speeds. But we were slightly too late as after about a quarter mile of running, that same man that got Tezukas' nerves acting up is standing right in front of us.
"Syusuke Fuji?" the man asks. Both me and Tezuka exchange looks, neither of us speeking. When we look at the guy again he speaks again. "Is one of you Syusuke Fuji?" He was clearly annoyed at us.
"Yea--" I was about to responde, but Tezuka took a step forward and interrupted me.
"No, we don't know him. I'm Kunimitsu Tezuka and this is Yuri Shina."
'Yuri Shina? Come on Tezuka you can do better than that.' I thought while rolling my eyes. The man seemed to not buy it at first before noding once.
"I see, I'm sorry to have interrupted your match, but if you happen to come across and vampire by the name of Syusuke Fuji then you must contact your local vampire agency. He's highly dangerous to humans and is on the death roll." the man explained. I quickly look over at Tezuka as he nodded at the man.
"So my hunches were correct, you really do suspect the son of the humans." He only nodded to answer Tezukas comment. "Quite a shame, I heard he's a swell Tennis player. I was hoping to have a match against him."
"Sorry to put your dreams on the low end." Tezuka only shrugged, keeping his eyes locked onto the stranger in front of him. If I hadn't known better I'd think they're having a mental conversation.
-Narrators POV-
Fuji was right even though he didn't think he was. Tezuka and the stanger were having a mental conversation. Tezuka was keeping this secret from not only Fuji, but any vampire he comes across, but he really can read minds. The vampire they happen to come across happens to be able to do the same.
'I know who he really is. If you were smart you'd let me take him about to the Counil and live.' the man thought to Tezuka only to get a glare in return.
'I don't know what you're thinking about. My friend here really is Yuri Shina.' Tezuka mentally replied.
'I see…so it's going to be like that? You're really going to defy the council and protect a fugitive?' Due to the lack of human witnesses,. Tezuka wasn't afraid to bare his fangs to the stranger.
'I think you mistook him for someone else. And if you were smart you'd not mention your mistake to the low life council you work for. Yuri and I are mates and I'd never do anything to allow people to assume that he's a fugitive. I keep my eyes on him at all times and never has he tasted humans blood.'
'I know what he is. He's a low vampires, one with very limited control over his sences and the craving for blood. Due to that--'
'Due to that you think he's the serial killer who got a hold of the Fuji's?' Tezuka continues to glare and bare his fangs at the stranger, during this Fuji was looking from Tezuka and the stranger nonstop. It caught Tezukas attention and he shoved Fuji's head down so he was staring at the ground.
'I can tell you're hiding something, but if you really think that he's not the criminal I'm looking for then you wouldn't mind me looking into his eyes right?' Tezuka growled at his request. After drinking human blood there's no going back. It stay locked into their eyes, only the mind readers can see into vampires eyes, the windows of their souls, to see how innocent and clean they are.
'If you wish…' Tezuka replyed before looking at Fuji.
"Mr. Shina…could you look up for a second, I need to look at you to confirm my suspicions. Fear was clear on Fujis face as he looked at Tezuka, desperate for instructions. "If you really aren't Syusuke Fuji then why would you be seeking help from this man?"
"He uhh…" Fuji tried to think of something to work well enough as an excuse.
"I'm his captain as well as his mate, it's only natruale for the uke to seek help from their seme." Tezuka replyed while wrapping an arm around Fuji's shoulders. "Go on Yuri, let him look at your face." Fuji was too far in shock at what Tezuka had said to even move. It was the stranger who had to move Fuji's head to look into his eyes.
He took a good, long look. Surely he was sure that Fuji was who he was really looking for, but nothing. Nothing came up in Fuji's eyes and it really bugged the stranger. "Tell me, what is your real name?" Tezuka snapped a glare at the stranger.
"Syu--"
"Kyo Sukimaru." Tezuka quickly replied. "Did you see anything?"
The stranger then looks at Tezuka with another hard glare. "No I saw nothing, and why are you lying about his name?"
"Who said I was lying?"
"At first you said his name was Yuri Shina and now it's suddenly Kyo Shuki…sato?"
"Kyo Sukimaru…" Tezuka corrected.
"Whatever, you're changing his name on me, so how do I know the truth?"
"Would you rather have him say it?" Tezuka asked with a raises eyebrow. 'That way you can read his mind if he's lying. Now would I jeperdise my love's life like that if he really wasn't who I say he is?'
"Yes I'd rather have him say that." The man seemed a little too eager to say that and then directed his attention to Fuji once again. "What's your real name.
-Fuji's POV-
I didn't know what to do. If Tezuka was changing my name it had to have a good reason, but if he was really from the council then he would have taken me away right? I think I mise as well go with Tezuka's game and just lye.
"I am Kyo Sukimaru. I'm a amature tennis player who looks up to my…love for tennis instructions. He's pretty much my free personal tennis tutor who comes with a big heart and a great sex rounds." I quickly say. Hopefully it's believeable enough and it seems to be. Tezuka is fighting back a laugh as the man stares at me with slight disgust.
"Ok then, too much info, but I guess you're telling the truth. You two may go and don't forget what I told you about the fugitive." Both me and Tezuka nod before running at our vampire speeds together, too eager to get away from the man who almost gave me my death certificate.
We reached Tezuka's house in a matter of a few minutes and he quickly shut the door and lock it, even though a vampire can easily get past that, but our sudden burting through the door caught his parents attention. "Tezuka, what's wrong?" his mother asks.
"Nothing Mom, just ran across someone who nearly cause our deaths." I look at Tezuka, a clear glare on my face. A little too honest, isn't he?
"Seriously? What happened? This is what, the twenty-third time you came across something like this in a week?" his father this time asks.
Clearly I was confused. I had no idea why his parents are so easy going about us nearly getting killed by a council member, I mean seriously! This is Tezuka, their son! I was too busy staring at a black wall with a shocked expression to even realize that Tezuka had dragged me to sit with him on the love couch.
"Oh it's silly really, we just came across someone from the Vampire Council. He thought Kyo was that crazy murder, Syusuake Fuji. Can you believe it?! I finally had to let him look into Kyo's eyes to prove who he really was." Tezuka said with a few laughs here and there. I didn't understand him at all, why he as calling me Kyo or anything. And each time he said 'Kyo' he put some meaning into it, like he was trying to tell his parents something. It was too much and I quickly left Tezuka's grasp and ran upstairs, slamming the door.
-Tezuka's POV-
I don't know why he's upset, obviously it has to be something from him to run up to my room and slam the door. I look at my parents before getting up and fallowed Fuji to my room. When I entered he was sitting on my bed, stairing out though the window and out into the outside would. He seemed to notice my presence as his body stiffened and I quietly shut the door.
"Who's Kyo?" he asks right after I shut the door. I should have seen this coming, but I thought he'd be smart enough to know that it's a false name to keep him safe.
"That's you silly." I say in hopes he'd catch the message. Which he didn't.
"I'm Syusuke Fuji. The crazy murderer who killed his own parents and nearly his own brother. The vampire who commited the worst sin that puts immediate death upon them. I don't know where you got this Kyo fantasy from."
Ok, so he doesn't get it and clearly he doesn't care.
"I thought you didn't love me…" Ok what? Even I, a mind reader, didn't even see that coming, but of course I like to give Fuji his privacy and not invade his mind.
"Fuji…" I sigh out but before I could continue he snaps.
"Oh so you finally realise who I real am?!"
"Will you just shut up for a second!!" I yell at him. It scared him, I can see that, but honestly I don't care. He doesn't realize the danger he's in and the fact that the council has already set after him pisses me off. "Now that you're listening. The whole Kyo thing--"
"I don't care about him. I want to know why you said that I'm your lover, your mate when you obviously don't think of me like that!" Fuji yelled at me, interrupting me. Can't he see that doing that is just going to further my anger? I guess he doesn't care at this moment.
"Fuji…" I say before taking a breath in then suddenly I was in his face, yelling. "SHUT UP AND LISTEN! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE IN DANGER AND YOU'RE WORRYING ABOUT STUPID THINGS LIKE A FALSE NAME AND A STUPID LIE!!!" I stare at his face for a moment, pure shock and fear all over it.
'Ok I think I over did it with the yelling…' I thought when he didn't responde.
"Lies…is that all they were? Just fibs?"
"No…I was just saying that to spare your feelings." I say, rolling my eyes.
"You are…UNBELIEVEABLE Kunimitsu Tezuka, just unbelievable! I confess my feelings to you, willing to sacrifice my soul to you and when I finally think you're finally caving in and noticing my love for you, you claim it's just you SPARING my feelings?! I'd rather have the fucking Vampire Council kill me!" Ok so I clearly pissed him off, I think I got that part easily.
"You don't know the half of my reasons for lying." I finally say.
"Then say it! Damn it Tezuka, if whatever your stupid reasons are good enough for you to falsely lead my feelings then….then…"
"Then what?" I ask, lifting an eyebrow.
"I DON'T KNOW!!" I couldn't help but snort out a chuckle to that.
"I was afraid Fuji. There was a fear deep inside me that feared for your safety. I only did what came to my mind and that way to lie. I only hoped that if he asked to look into your eyes that your stubborn denial to what you did would block the turth."
"My denail? But I didn't do anything to deny."
"That's my point, you haven't accepted that fact that you killed your parents and nearly got--"
"Shut up! I didn't kill them!" he yelled at me, interrupting me again.
"Good, keep thinking that."
"'Keeping thinking that'? What the hell is that suppose to mean?"
"It means that even though the facts are true, that you really did kill your parents and that you really aren't Kyo Sukimaru, you need to keep thinking that you didn't do that for your…hey Fuji, you ok?" I realise that my little speech is really making him accept what he did instead of denying it any more. "Damn it, Fuji listen, I was kidding. You didn't kill them! Fuji!" I kept yelling for him, but he was far gone. My fear, the fear of losing him, may actually come true if another member of the council finds him. And when that comes, I may end up dying with him.
WW0604: Wow, ok sorry for the…oddly awkward (in my opinion) chapter. Hopefully I get some reviews this time, so please R&R and…yeah, surprisingly enough, I didn't pass out while typing this and I managed to do it in one night…wow.
