Chapter 6:

Kaname had no idea what had caused him to wake but he had been having a good dream. His dear Yuuki had been sharing a bed with him and he was sad to see it pass. In fact he could still smell her warm sunshiny scent in the air. It had been so real. Then he felt a breath on his neck and opened his eyes. Lying beside him on the bed was none other than Yuuki! Smiling, he reached out his hand and brushed a stray dark-brown strand of hair that had fallen across her pale cheek. What he didn't expect was her reaction. Rather than smile or lean into his touch, she reacted like a wild animal. Suddenly she began striking him and writhing like an animal. "Yuuki," he whispered gently grabbing her wrists in one hand to keep her from striking him and using his other hand to gently shake her shoulder in an attempt to wake her.

Yuuki was asleep when suddenly she felt phantom fingers on her face. Though the touch was delicate in her nightmare she saw mismatched eyes looking at her as a long fingered hand stroked her face. Only this time, she knew that her limbs were not bound and she could fight back. She began striking out where she felt the warm body beside her. She had though she had killed him and was surprised when she actually struck a flesh and blood body. Once she realized that she could hit him she continued to do so until her wrists were restrained.

"Yuuki," said a voice that soothed her, "Please open your eyes." The voice was so different than the voice from her nightmares that she decided to comply. Rather than two mismatched eyes, she saw two perfectly matched ruby irises.

"Kaname," she breathed. Tears filled her eyes as she realized that she had just struck him. There was a slight cut on his lip where one of her hands had hit him. The sight of his blood had an odd effect on her. She was sad that she had made him bleed and more upset that it would be going to waste. She leaned in slowly, warning him with her eyes and licked the blood off his chin. She followed the line of blood up to his split lip where she finished with a kiss.

Though it had been a chaste kiss, it thrilled Kaname. Even after all she had been though she was able to be tender with him. "Yuuki," he breathed against her lips. "What did I do to upset you?"

"Nothing," Yuuki replied pulling back to look at him, "You did nothing. It's just that I can still feel his hands on me when I close my eyes, and I can still feel . . ." she broke off in a sob thinking about what else he had touched.

Not sure if it was the right thing to do, he pulled her against him and tried to soothe her. Rather than pull away she held him more tightly. Something about his loving touch helped to erase the memory of Rido's hands on her skin. In fact the feeling of his lips on hers was gone, replaced by the warm gentleness of Kaname's. Surprised at her own boldness, she reached up and gently grasped a handful of Kaname's hair and pulled his lips to hers for a less than chaste kiss. From the point where their lips met, warmth radiated through her body and she couldn't feel Rido's fingers on her face now, only Kaname's as he gently cupped her cheek in response to her kiss.

He took a chance and licked her lower lip asking for entry into her mouth and she opened it gladly. As his tongue gently explored her mouth they were both surprised at the taste of the other, though it had the same basic composition of their blood, the taste had other characteristics as well. For Yuuki, every touch from Kaname spread warmth through her body.

Both knowing what she was doing and not knowing at the same time, Yuuki unbuttoned Kaname's shirt needing to feel more of his skin. She reached out with a small trembling hand and placed it in the middle of his chest. That felt so good that she moved her hand across his chest enjoying the satin feel of his skin.

Kaname loved the feel of Yuuki's small hands on his chest, but it was awaking something in him that he wasn't sure if she was ready to deal with. He knew if he let her keep touching him that there might be no way to restrain himself. So he gathered her hands in his and gently kissed them before putting them in her lap and putting his hands on her shoulders to gently put some distance between them.

At his rejection, Yuuki felt her dejected. "Do you not like me touching you, Kaname-oni-sama?" She asked.

He was slightly hurt by her return to honorifics, but gave her the answer to her question. "My dear girl, I have wanted nothing else since you forgot about me ten years ago. Every time you even hugged me as I child, it lifted my soul more than I can tell you. I love you so much Yuuki."

"Then show me," she said reaching for him again.

"You don't know what you're asking for Yuuki," Kaname said gently.

"I know exactly what I am asking for Kaname," Yuuki said, anger in her tone. "Do you have any idea what happened today? What was done to me? What the others went through? What I did to all those other vampires?"

Kaname was shocked into silence. He wasn't aware that Yuuki, his dear sweet Yuuki, was capable of such outbursts.

"I feel polluted," she said looking down. "Polluted in so many ways. I killed today, and not by accident," She said tears falling again. "I chose to kill Rido and all of those other vampires. It wasn't the wave of power that killed them. My consciousness went with it and chose who to kill and who to let live. And Rido. . . . what he did . . . I have no innocence left." Then she seemed to gain strength again, "All I have left is love and that's what I need from you."

At her sorrow he felt anger again at what she had been through and a fierce need to protect her. He pulled her to him rubbing her back, "I'm so sorry Yuuki," he said. "I would have protected you from all of that. If I had known what would happen, I would have taken you somewhere safer and left you there. I'm so sorry."

Yuuki was surprised to feel something hit the top of her head and pulled away so that she could see his face. What she saw was so odd that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Kaname was crying.

"Shhh," she said reaching up to wipe away one of the clear drops of moisture. "It's not your fault Kaname. You aren't responsible for everything that goes on. Even you aren't that powerful."

"But—" he tried to argue but she cut him off with a passionate kiss.

"No buts" she breathed against his lips before she continued kissing him. He kissed her back needing her affection almost as much as she needed his. When she pulled away for a second to breathe he took advantage of his free lips to trail kisses down her neck. She made a quiet sound of appreciation in her throat and it thrilled him. Suddenly he was thankful for the thin straps of the nightgown she was wearing, since it allowed him more skin to touch and taste.

Yuuki had no idea that a person's touch could do so many things to her. He hadn't even touched her anywhere inappropriate and already she was aroused. Needing to touch him as well, she again moved her hands to his chest, this time, however, they didn't shake. She ran her hands over the warm planes of his chest and back. His skin felt so smooth and flawless that she wanted to see for herself if it was. She gently removed his shirt from his shoulders and dropped it unceremoniously on the foot of the bed. Then she gently pushed him away so that she could look at him.

"Yuuki," he protested as he felt her pushing away. He had been afraid of this it was too much too quickly and she was going to reject him, for now anyway, and he understood that. He looked at his knees feeling bad for putting her in that position so soon after what RIdo had done to her.

"So beautiful," she said. "Are you sure that I'm allowed to have you?" Hearing an odd tone in her voice, he looked up at her face and saw something there he had never expected to see: pure unadulterated lust. Seeing her lust caused his heart rate to speed up as he realized that she was not rejecting him, she was admiring him. That caused changes in Kaname that he had not felt in a long time and he was surprised to realize that without seeing an inch of her skin more than was normal, he too was aroused, almost painfully so.

"Yes, you are," Kaname growled as he kissed her again, this time his hands going for the hem of her gown. He was prepared to stop when her hands joined his on the hem, but all they did was help him remove her clothes. Much as she had moments before, he pulled back to look at her.

At Kaname's scrutiny, Yuuki could feel a blush creep into her cheeks, but it was not because he was looking at her naked body, it was because of the love that shone in his garnet eyes. It made her feel good and happy. She felt herself smile and let him look for a moment more before she tackled him, pinning him to the bed.

"Yuuki," he breathed with a laugh, "what—"

"You looked like you were just going to sit there so I took control," she said with a laugh. Then she licked up the side of his neck and watched the goose bumps form there. She reached slowly between the two of them and tried to get the button of his pants open with one hand and let out a small snort of disappointment when the button wouldn't do as she wanted. She leaned back a little and put her weight on her knees rather than her arm so that she could use her other hand on the offending bit of metal. For some reason the stupid thing still wouldn't come undone.

"Would you like some help," Kaname asked smugly. Yuuki shook her head and continued to glare at the button. Finally she decided that she would just rip it off, if she had to she would sew a new one on for him. As she pulled she heard a small pop and realized that the button had been a snap and not a button at all.

Taking advantage of her surprise, Kaname gently but quickly laid her one the bed and began removing his pants. "Are you sure," he asked one last time. "I don't want you to think you have to do this tonight."

"I'm sure," Yuuki said. "I've never been more sure of anything." With her declaration Kaname finished removing his pants and underwear and knelt by her knees and helped her remove her underwear. Gently he reached between her legs to make sure that she was actually ready for this, and discovered that she was more than ready. He positioned himself over her and placed the head of his penis at her opening. Keeping eye contact he exerted a gentle pressure until he slid into her warm opening. They both groaned in pleasure at the gloriousness of the feeling.

Yuuki had been a little worried that it would hurt when Kaname claimed her, but that need was unfounded. It was the most wonderful feeling in the world, that was until he began moving and then that was the most wonderful feeling in the world. She was a little embarrassed at the noises that she was making from the pleasure of it, but then she realized that he was making the same noises, so it was probably normal. Even though her noises embarrassed her, his excited her. Without knowing what she was doing, she bit him as a particularly strong wave of pleasure shook her body.

As Yuuki bit him right below the collarbone, Kaname felt a noise that he didn't recognize rise up his throat. Which seemed to excite her more since she began moving under him, which in turn excited Kaname more. Soon, too soon for his liking, she began gripping his shoulders and her movements got more jerky. Then without warning, she let out a rather loud moan and her body constricted around his, the increased pressure caused his orgasm and he finished with a loud moan of his own.

The two of them lay like that for a little while, panting in the aftermath of their lovemaking. Then Yuuki raised herself up a little and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. "That was amazing, Kaname. Thank you," she whispered.

He rolled off of her and pulled her flush against his side, "No, thank you, Yuuki," he said, kissing the top of her head. Soon her breathing began to even out and she fell asleep. Once he was sure she was asleep Kaname looked toward the door at the figure who was standing in the shadows.
