For much of the day, Rubi and Kamijo didn't speak to each other more than they needed to. Rubi roamed around on his own as Kamijo seemed to be busy with some things that he didn't want to explain to Rubi. The small male couldn't find anyone else around. He wanted to find someone who could answer his questions. Walking around aimlessly, he stopped when he across the door with Teru's name on it. Hoping the kind vampire would be in his room, Rubi knocked on the door twice. After a short moment, Teru opened the door and blinked at Rubi."Um.." Rubi was nervous about talking to Teru, but he seemed like the best choice."I hope I'm not bothering you." He nibbled on his lower lip a little."Can we talk for a bit?"

Teru smiled softly and nodded."Sure." He moved a little to the side."Come in." He let Rubi enter his room then closed the door."What would you like to talk about?" he wondered.

Rubi let his gaze sweep across the layout of Teru's room before answering him."I was wondering if I could ask you about some things." Receiving a nod in reply, Rubi continued."That room through those big double-doors..What is it for?"

Teru sat down in a chair that was at a wooden desk and crossed his legs, setting his hands on his lap."I'm sorry, but I'm not supposed to tell you. That room is not a good place."

Rubi sighed softly. His curiosity almost made him want to go through the double-doors and find out on his own. But he knew that wouldn't be a good idea. Besides, he had already promised Kamijo that he wouldn't look in there again."Well then, can you tell me a bit about everyone?" That's also something he was curious about.

"Yes, sure." Teru thought for a moment, deciding what he should tell Rubi about everyone."Let's see. Hizaki is like a sort of caretaker. He looks after everyone and takes care of us if we get hurt. I think he's also the most level-headed one of us." Teru lightly tapped his index finger on his lap while speaking."Masashi is the busy type. He always tends to keep himself busy. I guess he just doesn't like to have spare time. He and Kamijo make the decisions around here. Though, Kamijo decides most things."

"What about Yuki?" Rubi asked. Yuki made the mortal curious because he always seemed unhappy.

Teru wasn't really sure about Yuki."I don't know. Yuki keeps to himself a lot. He's usually not so bad to be around, but he's been really cranky lately. That's probably because he hasn't fed in a while. None of us have. That's why we were all drawn to you when we heard you scream. When Kamijo bit you, we were all expecting to be fed at least a little." Seeing that Rubi didn't want to talk about that, Teru moved on."No one knows much about Kamijo. He's been here much longer than the rest of us. He makes sure everyone is always safe. He worries a lot if he can't find someone."

"I see." There was still one more person for Rubi to ask about."What about you, Teru?"

Teru blinked a couple times, as if speaking about himself hadn't even crossed his mind."Hm, well..I normally keep to myself. I stay in my room a lot. But I like to talk. Though, I also like to be around Masashi. So if you ever want to find me, I'm usually either here or with him."

"Okay." Rubi fidgeted with his fingers nervously."Do you know how to find out what Kamijo thinks or feels about something?" He really wanted to know how Kamijo felt about him, but he was too nervous and shy about it to just ask straight out. So he was hoping Teru would know an easier way.

Teru shook his head a little."I'm not sure. Sorry. Maybe you should just ask him what you want to know."

~X~

After talking with Teru, Rubi began walking around again. He went to the double-doors and thought about what that room could be used for. However, he didn't get to think for long. Someone stepped up behind him and grabbed his wrist, spinning him around. It was Kamijo."What are you doing here?" Kamijo asked him, obviously inquiring why he was in front of the double-doors.

"Uh, I was just..um.." Rubi couldn't come up with the words. He was sure that Kamijo would be mad at him.

"You were thinking about going through those doors, weren't you?" Not giving Rubi a chance to answer, Kamijo picked the small male up, slinging him over his shoulder. Rubi was about to squirm but didn't when Kamijo opened one of the doors and carried him into the room. When the closed the door, it became too dark for Rubi to see. He felt Kamijo set him down then lift his hands up over his head, feeling his back against the cold, hard wall.

Rubi's heart began to pound when his wrists were chained above his head."Wh-what are you doing?" He was silenced by Kamijo's lips pressing against his own. Kamijo then began to kiss and lick Rubi's neck as one of his hands slipped down the front of the human's pants, groping and fondling him."K-Kamijo.."

Both of Kamijo's hands moved up and ripped Rubi's shirt to shreds before pulling his pants and boxers off quickly, wasting no time in fully exposing the boy's body. Next, Kamijo lifted Rubi's legs, putting chains around his knees to keep his legs up and spread."You shall be mine. Only mine." For some reason, those words and Kamijo's demanding tone of voice really aroused Rubi. There were quiet ruffling sounds as Kamijo undressed himself. Rubi gave a slight squirm when two of Kamijo's fingers pushed into his hole, stretching and preparing him with scissor-like movements. His other hand held one of Rubi's thighs to support him a bit, making sure the chains would not hurt him. After removing his fingers, Kamijo could then hold both of Rubi's thighs.

"Kamijo.." Rubi was a little scared because he couldn't see anything, but he was also strangely turned on by this.

Without any kind of warning at all, Kamijo pushed into Rubi's hole, letting out a sort of grunt."Rubi.." The vampire began to move his hips, thrusting but starting slow, not wanting to hurt Rubi."Be mine, Rubi.." The mortal was beginning to make uneven breaths and small noises."Belong to me.." Kamijo quickly increased his pace, moving faster and rougher into the boy.

"Yes, Kamijo.." Rubi couldn't move. He wished he could touch Kamijo, or at least see him."I belong to you." As Kamijo's thrusts became faster and rougher, Rubi's small sounds became moans of pleasure, which pleased Kamijo."Please..Kiss me.."

Kamijo granted Rubi's request, kissing him deeply and passionately. They both moaned against each others lips, the vampire now slamming into the human boy. Their kiss didn't last long. Rubi broke it by leaning his head back against the wall, which felt like concrete. Kamijo was aroused further by the sounds of Rubi's moans, which were loud and a little high in pitch."Such beautiful sounds you make." Kamijo leaned down while keeping his thrusts fast and hard, grazing his fangs against Rubi's neck."I shall..claim you now.."

When the vampire's fangs pierced deeply into his flesh, Rubi cried out. However, his cry went ignored by the male who kept pounding into him. Soon though, the fangs were pulled out."Kamijo..I can't..handle anymore.."

Upon hearing those words, Kamijo slammed even harder into Rubi, causing the smaller male to cry out again but with pleasure this time. He smiled, which could be felt by Rubi because his mouth was still against the boy's neck, when the other moaned loudly as he climaxed. Rubi's ring of muscle tightened around Kamijo, earning a grunt. A few harsh thrusts later, Kamijo climaxed inside of Rubi. He slowed his movements and came to a stop, listening as the mortal panted breathlessly."You're mine now." Kamijo told him."All mine."

~X~

Kamijo had unchained Rubi, helped him get dressed, then dressed himself before scooping Rubi up into his arms and carrying the boy to his bedroom. He laid the mortal down then laid beside him, pulling him into his arms. The fresh bite on Rubi's neck didn't bleed much, so they didn't do anything about it."Get some rest." Kamijo told Rubi as he closed his eyes.

They both went to sleep, but Rubi didn't stay asleep for long. When Rubi woke up, it was so dark."Kamijo.." he spoke to find out if the other was awake. He got no response. Getting off the bed, he quietly left the room. He could barely see. Not to mention that he was aching. That rough sex with Kamijo had been his first time. So he wasn't used to it. He wondered if Kamijo was aware that he was Rubi's first. Listening closely for a minute or two, there were no signs of movement or of anyone else being up. Everyone else was probably in bed. But as Rubi wandered around, he noticed a small, moving light ahead. Moving closer, he saw Yuki carrying a candle. Rubi stopped, curious to know why Yuki was up. As Yuki was clearly going somewhere specific, Rubi decided to follow as quietly as he could manage. Yuki went down a couple halls then up a narrow, spiral staircase that Rubi had never seen before.

The staircase was long and led to a locked door. Yuki pulled a key from his pocket, unlocking the door then entering a small room. The room was filled with flowers, some wilted and others new. Then, Rubi noticed the purple flower in Yuki's other hand as he set the candle down on an old desk. The vampire laid the flower down gently beside the candle before kneeling and putting his hands together, as if praying. Rubi shifted where he was standing by the doorway and made just a tiny shuffle-like sound, which caught Yuki's attention. The vampire stood and quickly moved in front of the shirtless human."Why are you following me?" he demanded. However, he didn't give Rubi a chance to answer."You shouldn't be in here. This is a private room."

"I-I'm sorry." Rubi stammered."I'll leave. I'm sorry." He took a step back, not realizing how close he was to the open door.

"Watch out!" Rubi had accidentally stepped back just slightly too far and slipped off of the top step. Yuki lunged forward and pulled Rubi close, both of them tumbling down. When they stopped tumbling, they were about halfway down the staircase. Yuki was still holding Rubi. He had kept the other from getting hurt."Are you alright?"

Rubi looked at Yuki, whom he was on top of, and shakily nodded, tears forming in his eyes."Yeah.." His tears fell down his cheeks."I'm sorry, Yuki.." he whined, beginning to cry."I'm so sorry.."

Yuki was a bit stunned, unsure of how to deal with a crying human. In an attempt to calm the mortal, he began to gently rub his back."Uh..It's fine..No harm done.." He just stayed there with the mortal until he calmed down. Then, the vampire got up to his feet, lifting the small human up into his arms carefully."Let's get you back to Kamijo. He'll worry if he wakes up and can't find you."
