Chapter 4
"Shit..."
Melissa bit her lip as she searched the dark yard from her window. A soft breeze blew by, tossing her hair into her eyes. She pushed it aside and pulled herself back into her bedroom. Shutting the window, she leaned against the frame and sighed. A tear slipped down her cheek and caught on her lip. Her husband has been turned into a Vampire...
Soft footsteps approached the bedroom and a curious face peeked around the corner. Keeren cocked her head to the side when she found the door wide open, but when she looked up to find Melissa alone in the room, she became worried.
"Missy?" She started, walking into the room, her socked feet causing no sound on the plush carpet. Melissa looked up, her eyes watering. "Missy, what's wrong?"
"He's a vampire..." The healer replied quietly. "He left."
Keeren stood for a moment, not knowing what to say to comfort her friend. A situation like this had never come to mind for her. She was usually prepared with some kind of comfort in a difficult situation. She sat down at the edge of the bed and beckoned Melissa to sit next to her.
"What should we do...?" Melissa asked, leaning against her friend. Keeren frowned, and shook her head.
"I don't... know..?"

Chiriko stretched his arms above his head as he yawned. Such a beautiful evening. He had taken a break from his usually night reading to take a brief walk. He hadn't taken a walk in the dark for a long time, so he had decided to take advantage of the warm night.
The twenty-nine year old seishi rested his arms behind his head as he looked up into the sky, the sky was cloudy. Which made it very hard to see in the backyard. He had specifically not turned on the flood light fo the back yard because it would make his walk seem shorter. If he could not see how large the yard really was, the walk would seem longer, right? Chiriko smiled and checked his watch. The illuminated screen said it was just past midnight.
Behind him, he heard heavy footsteps coming towards him, fast. He barely had time to turn around before he was thrown from the ground and landed heavily on his back. He tried to get up but he was being held down. At first, he thought he was being attacked by a dog, butt from how the breathing sounded and the fact his shoulders her pinned by hands told him, differently. He tried to see who it was, but it was too dark to see anything. The hands gripped his shoulders so tightly, Chiriko let out a small whimper of pain as the fabric tore
He felt something warm around his neck. Whoever was on top fo him, was sniffing at him. Chiriko tried to push the being off of him, but the grim on his shoulders moved to his wrists, holding them above his head.
"Who are you!?" The seishi ordered from the being. Only a chuckle was returned. Chiriko knew that chuckle.
"Tasuk-- ahh!!" Chiriko cried out as pain erupted in his neck. He tried as hard as he could to free himself but his energy was soon leaving him. Soon, he lay limp in the grip, barely conscious.
Before he knew what was happening, he felt himself being dragged across the grass by his wrist. His head was clouded and he was struggling to stay awake. His robe caught on a stick imbedded in the ground and was pulled off his shoulders, barely in one piece. Chiriko began to daze off as he was being dragged into the forest.
"Tasuki..."

Morning came quicker than the girls wanted it to. The sun rose above the horizon, sending warm light into bedroom windows. Teri and been alerted of what happened, as well as Chichiri. The four now stood in Melissa's bedroom, trying to come up with some way to bring Tasuki back. The only known cure for it, was death.
"You have to understand Melissa, the only way we can cure him is if we kill him" Keeren put a hand on her friends shoulder. Melissa was stiff. "We can always wish him back with the dragon balls in six months."
Melissa didn't reply. Keeren frowned and moved away from her, in case she got angry from staying around too long.
Teri crossed her arms and gave her sister a stern look. "Look, it isn't like this is a condition we can treat. Yes, it is like a sickness, but we've told you the cure."
"It's not--" Melissa interrupted. "It's not like I'm trying t' deny it." She looked up, looking at her sister. "But I just don't feel like letting go of him just yet."
"Missy, there is no other way! Unless you want someone to die!" Teri argued.
"I know there's no other way!" Melissa snapped. "How would you feel if you had t' KILL Legolas, just t' save him!"
Teri was taken aback from the sudden outburst. She frowned and replied. "I would do it, because I'd know he would be back within half a year..." She shook her head. "I'm not saying it will be easy, but you know you have to do it."
The room was silent for a moment, as Melissa looked over her one, and only option. The dragon balls... they'd bring him back in half a year, right? The was suddenly struck with a though.
"The dragon balls..." She muttered. "Why don't we just use th' dragon balls t' wish him back into being a regular human!" She looked around the room excited, there was no way the idea wouldn't work. Keeren looked to Teri, who shrugged, and Chichiri shrugged as well.
"That might work." Keeren said with a smile. Teri smiled as well. "But we still have to find the dragon balls. They're scattered all over our dimension and Mirai's. I remember we found two, and we hid them carefully. There's one more still unknown here in Terra."
"I'll go get them." Melissa said. "It's the only thing I can--"
She was suddenly interrupted when Star burst into the room uninvited.
"Mommy! Mommy!" She cried, running up to her mother. Melissa looked at her friends and sister apologetically before kneeling to tend to her daughter.
"What is it?"
"In the back yard! I saw it! I was so scared! You gotta to come see! Hurry! Hurry!"
"Saw what? What did'yeh see?"
"Come one! Hurry! Hurry!" Star called, as she rushed out the door. Melissa shrugged and followed her. Chichiri, Keeren and Teri went after her.
In the back yard, near the forest was where she lead them to. There was a light green robe in the grass, torn at the shoulders. On the collar was a dark reddish purplish stain. Melissa went up to it and recognised the robe to be Chiriko's, she also recognised the stain to be blood.
"When did you find this, Star?"
"Like, just a little while ago, before I got you." Star looked down at it, then back up to her mother. "That's Chiriko's robe, isn't it mommy?"
Melissa nodded, and picked it up, draping it over her arm. "Go inside Star. Don't come outside anymore without one of us, okay?"
Star, nodded. "Yes, mama."
The healer patted her daughter's head, and smiled. After Star had gone inside, the four adults looked at the forest, then at the robe.
"So... Tasuki got hungry..." Keeren started quietly. "And he found Chiriko..."
"Indeed..." Teri agreed.
"Is he in the forest, no da?" Chichiri asked.
"Probably." Melissa replied with a sigh. "Keep Star away from there. Tasuki was attacked during th; day, we don't know whether he can or not either."
"Are we going to go look for him?" Keeren question, looking into the forest.
"Chiriko? Yeah, we should. We don't know if Tasuki will try and turn him or not. He might still be alive." Teri stated. She looked at her sister. "Go ahead and take that inside." She said, pointing at the robe. "And do me a favor and tell Legolas, he might be able to help us find Chiriko."
Melissa nodded and began walking back to the house, while Teri, Chichiri and Keeren went into the forest to begin searching.

Teri wasn't searching long before she found a hold in the side of a tree. She peered inside of it, hoping to see something in it. It was dark inside, so she couldn't make out anything. She really didn't want to, but she slipped inside to have a look around. She lit up a small ki ball to discover that the small cavern had partially caved in already. It was dangerous for her just to be in there. But, she had to look everywhere. A dark place was a kay place to search to look for a Vampire. The room was only about fifteen feet deep. Illuminating the room with her ki, she suddenly caught sight of a small form curled up in the corner. She moved closer to find it was a young man, closer, it was Chiriko.
"Chiriko!" Teri gasped. She let the ki black float near the ceiling as she bent down to inspect the seishi. Turning him onto his back, she found him unconscious, but still breathing. His skin was cold and sweaty to the touch, and he looked deathly ill. On his neck was a collection of messy teeth marks. Tasuki's first feeding was a quick and sloppy, but at least Chiriko was still alive. The only thing was, was she to retrieve him and take him back home? Or was she to leave him to be changed back with the dragon balls?
The elementalist sorted over her options, but she finally settled on the fact she should go alert the others that she had found Chiriko first. She went to stand up, but with all the dust and dirt in the air, she was over taken by a sneezing fit. From the outburst in energy she released, the ki ball imploded on itself, shattering the ceiling near the entrance. Teri let out a howl when she was suddenly trapped in the cavern, with no way out. The lack of space in the cave made her on edge, she didn't know if it would completely collapse on her or not, if she blasted her way out, she'd most likely kill Chiriko in the process.
While she was nearly panicking, she was suddenly grabbed from behind by a pair of large hands that she knew Chiriko did not have. Thrown against the collapsed wall, she was pinned by a figure she again knew was too big to Chiriko. Who was it? And where the fuck did they come from. She gasped, suddenly knowing who it was.
Tasuki.
How was he awake this time of day. That mattered not now, she knew she had to get out of this.
"Tasuki, stop this." Teri demanded, pushing against the flame haired seishi. Tasuki pushed back, muttering something.
"I can't stop myself." He said under his breath. "It's taken hold of me."
Teri looked up at the taller man. "What has?"
"It." He replied. Teri fidgeted under his hold, wondering if he was just going to take his time with her, but she suddenly realised what he was doing when she felt this hips grind against hers. She blinked, what? Her brother-in-law, vampire or not, was suddenly putting the moves on her. She tried to pusher him off her again, saying it was rude to molest her, but he laid his head onto her shoulder and nipped at her neck. She shuddered, knowing if she moved, she would just be taken by the Vampire in him. His hips ground into her's in a circular fashion as his hand moved to cup around her breast. Teri let out a nervous groan, and Tasuki continued to nipp and lick her neck. Tasuki gave a little squeeze at her chest and she suddenly felt her bond between her and Legolas tremble. God, that's the last thing she wanted taken from her.
"Tasuki--" Teri started, gasping as he nipped. "Just... just bite me! Take me away! Just.. don't take my Legolas from me..." She whimpered, pleading. "Give me the darkness, give me the power..."
Tasuki grinned, and took her flesh into his mouth.

Legolas stumbled a little as he felt his bond between him and Teri falter. What was that? Her ki flared in the distance. She was in trouble.
The elvish prince took off in a sprint in that direction and all he came upon was a large tree with what looked like a pile of rubble spewing out from underneath it. A collapsed cave? Teri's ki was close, so close he could almost smell it in the air. It flared again, and began to drain away. Legolas looked around frantically for her, the only possibility he could think of was that she was underground. He called out to her, through the dirt and stone, and began pawing at it, hoping to get through it. He dug into the dirt, calling out her name, telling her to hold on, he was on his way.
Suddenly, her ki disappeared. No, he wouldn't let her go with Tasuki, not now, not ever. He began to scoop out the dirt in frantic heaps, still calling out to her. He failed to notice Melissa come up behind him.
"Legolas!" Melissa shouted, he didn't seem to hear her. She went up to him and pulled him away from the hole he was digging in the hill side.
"No! I must help her! She is in trouble!" The prince wailed, throwing himself back at the hill side. Melissa grabbed his shoulders and dragged him away from it and held him steady on his butt.
"Legolas! We can't help her!" The healer exclaimed into his face, tears in her own eyes. "If she has been bitten, th' only thing... th' only thing we can do is wish her back to being a human when we get the dragon balls."
The prince bit his lip, holding back the cry he wished to let out. He was infuriated, frustrated, upset. He didn't want to just leave her down there... in the dark ground with a Vampire. A vampire Tasuki no less, who knew what he'd do to her.
"I know what you're thinking Legolas..." Melissa muttered. "I don't want t' leave her down there either..." She sniffed, gathering her emotions. "But it's for th' best... okay?"
Legolas nodded slowly, before standing up solemnly. Melissa smiled, and patted his back as they went off to the house.

Wow, long chapter! This one was fun... I'm sorry Missy & Teri! I'm sorry for the whole 'molestation' thing. But, it was the only way I could think of getting her to beg to be bitten, okay? And for those who are new, that part will play importantly later on. Ciao!
