Love in Dark Realm
By AngeL From Chaos
This is a plain story about a secret vampire clan, the Lamias, who were believed that they are just one of those myths. The folk tellers often describe them in three words: Immortal, brutal and lethal. Despite of these characteristics, there are capital laws that are strictly prohibited when dealing with humans: Limit their blood lust and don't dare to fall in love with humans. But what are the consequences for rule breakers like the princess of the dark realm, herself, Sakura Kinomoto?
However, there is this mystical book of the Legendary King Lacudra that possesses an ancient power to bring the dead to life… in exchange of someone's soul.
A/N: Love in dark realm is actually a comic strip of mine that's why I decided to publish it on the net, too. Yeah, right! I sketch this on my sketchpad! Anyway, this is just my 1st fanfiction to be submitted on this site so. Please pardon me for having some grammatical errors. I am not that expert in English grammar but I'll try my best not to have errors. It will be my pleasure if you'll review / post a comment.
Chapter 10: My First KissEriol's arrival on Vermillion Institute was not that welcoming to Sakura and Syaoran as well. As the break time struck the class 3-B, Eriol swiftly appeared before Sakura who was heading for her locker. He smiled at her seeing her frustrated reaction. "Would you mind if we'll talk at the rooftop alone?" Eriol asked the green-eyed lass.
Sakura tightened her jaw and replied, "Why do we need to talk there? Can't we just talk along the corridor?" She walked ahead of him as he followed her.
Eriol smirked and pulled her arm. "I need a private conversation with you," he said with a cool voice. He watched her put her things in the locker and shrugged. "I intended to help you with those things but I guess you won't let me carry those books of yours," he said with a gentleman gesture. "I know how much you hate me…"
With that dialogue, Sakura froze. "Why the hell are you saying those words to me?" she questioned with wonder noticing his sudden odd attitude. She closed her locker and faced him straight to the eyes. Sakura observed his eyes and seemed to be thinking of something. "Let's go to the rooftop then…" she sighed. And so they reached the rooftop. The air was fresh up there. So quiet and peaceful. Only the voices of students playing tennis could be heard from the court.
"You killed Meilin," she began with hatred in her eyes.
"Yeah, I should've killed the to other guys especially that messy haired lad who gave me a deadly blow on my abs," Eriol said jamming his hands into his pockets.
"Kill them? Oh, c'mon Eriol. Take it easy! You've already killed hundreds of people, didn't you? Are you not satisfied with their blood and yet you want to suck up blood to those pathetic innocents!" She asked with a stern look.
Eriol slowly shook his head. "Haha! You really don't know the meaning of vampires," he said. "That is why we're called vampires! We're born to hunt… and to kill," he finished his sentence abruptly.
"But don't you abuse it! We all know that we must control our blood lust…" Sakura remembered her victim on the dark streets. "I have tried to feed on a human and killed him immediately. I didn't control my hunger that time…" she admitted. "…But that was the first and last time I did it! I promised to myself that I wouldn't do it again."
Eriol studied her face. "You're making a sorry to yourself? How funny?" he uttered. "Let me tell you this, Sakura. More human blood, more power."
"My father was the ruler in Vampire world. And one of his rules was to limit our feeding," Sakura explained. "We must limit our sucking of blood," she repeated. "We could just hypnotize our victim so they won't remember anything after the feeding, we knew that fact."
Eriol nodded. "I don't care on such rules because I'm a rule breaker. I always hate humans and nobody could ever stop me from killing! You know, Sakura? I always dreamed to become the ruler of the vampire world. Tomoyo and I will govern this dark realm after I rebirth her." He smiled evilly.
"Darn you…" she murmured. "I just can't understand how you managed to escape from the sealed chamber (see chapter4: Brutality). If you remained jailed inside of it, this world will be peaceful!"
"Ah, yes. The sealed dark chamber…" he smirked. "I successfully escaped from it with the help of one of your guards. Using a very simple tactic, the hypnotism, I controlled the guard to free me from that hell," Eriol could still recall his suffering inside the hot cell. "I've been inside the sealed chamber for thousand of years."
Sakura raised her brows. "How do you feed yourself inside?"
Eriol crossed his arms against his chest. "Murderers like me were provided with human blood once a week. And I really suffer that time, no doubt. Anyway, here I am, full of strength and I'm in search of that damned ancient book to rebirth my lost lover." His azure eyes glistened as he step forward to Sakura. Eriol made giant strides as she stepped backwards until he cornered the evading girl on the rails of the rooftop. He lifted her chin so she could look at him. "Your eyes were kinda alike with Tomoyo."
Sakura frowned as she leaned against the railings. "You don't have t-to worry… I… I know where the book is…" she said with a stammering voice. His gaze really made her weak.
His jaws tightened. "You mean it?" he asked with assurance. "Where is it?" his voice was cold clasping Sakura's shoulders.
Sakura's brows narrowed. "Wait a second!" she placed her hands on his chest. "I won't tell you unless you promise me that you will not kill humans anymore. Deal?"
He thought for a while. "I won't kill humans anymore…" he finally said with a smile. "So then… Where's the book?" he focused his eyes on hers, his hands still holding her shoulders.
Then her lips parted and seemed to have difficulty of choosing the right words. "The moment I tell him where the book is, Eriol will surely dragged it away…" she tried her best to shield her thoughts to Eriol. "I'm sure that he'll take me away, too. Afterwards, that's the end of me…" she licked her lips.
Eriol's lust grew as he saw her tongue licking her dry lips. He tilted her head back and lowered his head to hers. She made a startled, sound of protest and tried to jerk away. But unfortunately, he was too quick for her. His mouth came down hard on hers. For a couple of seconds, she was too paralyzed to murmur or even breathe. Her green orbs were wide open as she saw Eriol's face, his eyes tightly closed.
"This is insane,…" she thought dazedly. "He's… actually… kissing me!!!" She had never kissed anyone with her eyes open before. Of course this is her first kiss! It was very strange, seeing a face from this angle.
Then, Eriol lifted his mouth slightly from hers. "Kiss me back, darn it!" he rasped. It was totally a shock to look her wide, astounded emerald eyes.
She was confused as she gazed at his eyes. Sakura wanted to slap his face and run from him. But hell! She's too tantalized to make a move! "I… I… don't want to kiss you! Darn you!"
Eriol smirked. "Well, then I'll have to make you want to, won't I?" His mouth opened over hers once again and felt Sakura's weak struggle. No use. He's too strong for her.
"No… I'm so weak… Oh, Syaoran… Help me!!!" she shouted in her mind. "Syaoran-kun!!!" she felt the probing of his tongue against her closed lips.
Eriol emitted a groan and thrust his tongue deep into the warmth of her mouth. Even if her mouth was unwelcoming, he angled his head and sealed their mouths in a searing kiss.
It was like nothing she had ever experienced or done. Sakura's eyes fluttered shut as his tongue rubbed against her own. She pummeled his chest with tight small fists to try to break the kiss. Useless. Eriol's arm was around her, her head wedged against his shoulder while his hand cupped her neck, stroking the smooth sensitive skin. He shifted slightly and thrust his thigh between her legs.
Syaoran quickly paced the school grounds. "Sakura… She's looking for me!" he thought and felt guilty. "I was supposed to be her private guard as I promised but… why do I leave her alone?" he rushed upstairs and tried to sense her presence. "Where are you?" He looked in every classroom but she's seen nowhere. "Dammit! Where is she?" he thought for Eriol. "I'll kill that guy if he hurts Sakura!"
Back to the rooftop, Eriol broke the kiss. Their mouths were swollen and moist with kissing. He stared at Sakura's flushed face. "Why Sakura?" he asked smiling. "For what reason are those tears, huh?" he put a finger on the edge of her eyes and Sakura slapped it immediately.
Sakura was crying. "Gross!!! You… You demon…" she landed on her knees and rubbed her eyes. "I hate you so much!!!" she yelled with a strained voice.
Eriol laughed and leveled himself to Sakura. "You're not a kid, Sakura. You're matured and old enough to experience things like that. And you won't regret it, you know?"
She cried even more and spit on the floor. "I just can't accept that my first kiss was not from the guy I like! And so freaking reality that my first kiss just came from a man I most hate!!!" she rubbed her mouth and couldn't stop her tears.
"Don't be stupid…" Eriol murmured and stood. "Get up there and tell me where the book is… C'mon," he commanded as if nothing happened that frustrates Sakura.
Her eyes narrowed until they heard a loud slam and a sound of footsteps. "Uh-oh," a genuine alarm was heard from Eriol's voice. "I didn't expect you will come here…" he said to Syaoran who was raging. Eriol smiled, "Ah, so you're trying to play a role of a prince rescuing his princess? How stupid?" He sighed and paced towards the exit where Syaoran was blocking the way. "Hey, can't you see I'm going to exit? Move away…" he glared at Syaoran, saying nothing but his eyes could tell that he's ready to crack Eriol's bones. Then, he shifted his glare on Sakura who's still landed on her knees. "What are you still doing there, Sakura. Let's go…" as he returned his gaze to Syaoran, he was rewarded with a fast, jaw-breaking uppercut from Syaoran.
Sakura liked the scene. Her tears started to dried up. "Syaoran-kun…" she had the strength to smile now.
Eriol was dropped dead on the floor. His eyes were constricted. "You… You deceived me once again!" he thought rubbing his chin, swollen with a deadly uppercut.
A/N: Whoah! Just imagine Jin Kazama of Tekken doing an uppercut to Hwoarang! Cool! Isn't it?
Syaoran glared at him furiously. "That's not enough… I still have more time to hit you with more painful blows…" his eyes were cold as ice. His fists were ironically cold and merciless. Syaoran slowly walked to Sakura and bent his knees. "I know you're not okay…" he murmured with a soft, caring voice. "Let's go…" he helped her stood.
Sakura was touched with his care as he held her hand. "How did you find me here?" she asked with questing eyes.
He shook his head. "Don't ask that… I just feel it… I heard your voice." He dragged her away from the rooftop leaving a sharp glance at Eriol who's helpless. "Good for you…" Syaoran thought. And they left the rooftop leaving a wonder to Sakura.
"He really can read minds… He heard my scream… Nice…" she thought as Syaoran held her hand downstairs.
