Toshirou's P.O.V.
I could expect the worst, but I didn't. And the only reason for that was just because of her unconcious actions of a few seconds ago. I could almost swear that she wouldn't be scared of me. I just hope that she wouldn't be...
And I also hoped that that damn Hichigo just leaves us alone already. I don't know what the fuck he wants. Gods, I don't even know where he comes from. He is not like any other vampire. He is different somehow. And I was wondering if he had killed Rukia's brother since there was another scent besides his.
I shook my head and closed my eyes while I inhaled Rukia's scent. And then I slowly let the darkness embrace me for the first time in years, knowing that I was not alone.

Rukia's P.O.V.
I woke up the next day. It was just like any other day, and at the same time it felt different as well. Alright, maybe it was me again, imagining other stuff. But I swear that I felt way warmer and nicer than I usually do.
I could hear loud clashes of waves which made me assume that we were located on a beach. It is quite funny. I know for a fact that I would have freaked out a few days ago. I sighed contently and snuggled closer to... I don't know what, but it felt good anyway. I didn't want to get up yet.
And that's when I actually realized something. Did I actually went to bed at all yesterday? If not, then where would I be now? And why did it feel like I am lying on something? Or maybe I should say someone?
My eyes shot wide open and I almost wanted to jolt up when I noticed that someone was actually holding me. I blinked and saw Toshirou's face. I started to smile and almost wanted to squeal at his peaceful face and his smile. And then I started to frown. What happened yesterday? I don't remember a lot, so I don't really know what I should think now. I am sure that I would have a full panic attack by now if it wasn't for Toshirou's calm face to calm me down. Gods, what kind of sentence is that?
I yawned and just started to relax myself again. And that's when I heard another clash. It was very loud which made me actually think that we could be in the Bermuda Triangle. I hope we aren't, because then I would have a serious panic attack.
I tried to keep my body motionless for a few seconds, just to see if I did something unexpected which could wake Toshirou up.
And as if he knew what I was thinking, I felt his arms tighten around me. I squeaked while I started blushing furiously. And then he opened his eyes, a smirk visible on his face. "Good morning Rukia, did I startle you?"
"Maybe just a little bit..." I muttered. then I heard him chuckle which made me start to smile. How rare actually. I never thought that I would take a situation like this so calm. "How long were you awake?" I asked him while I was actually quite curious about the answer.
"Quite long." He said then. I looked at him in confusion. What does he mean with 'quite long'? The whole night? A few hours? I don't know what to trust since his eyes were quite emotionless and his voice distant. I wondered what he would be thinking about at the moment. Ant then I felt it. A big headache hit me. Thought too fast probably.
I heard him chuckle again while he pulled me even closer that I already was. "Thought too fast?"
I nodded and buried my face into his chest. And it was quite odd. I felt so save in his arms.
I heard him chuckle again and felt that he started to stroke my hair. Then I remembered something from yesterday. The feeling of perfection, even though it just lasted for a few seconds. The sensation of having his lips on the mine. I wondered if he would be willing to kiss me again since I had passed out on him yesterday. I sighed silently and started to feel warm again just imagining that he would kiss me again... Or did my mind made the kiss up by itself?
I yawned and then heard another loud wave of the sea. I frowned slightly. "Toshirou, tell me, do you have any idea where we are at the moment?"
I looked up and saw a sheepish smile gracing his lips. "You wouldn't believe me, but we are on Hawaii."
My jaw had dropped at this. Wow, Hawaii.
My mind couldn't progress it yet, so I just simply buried my face into his chest again while I heard him smirk. We lied there for a little while. And slowly but surely, I started to notice something. His skin felt awfully cold and it seemed to suck the warmth from my own body. I shivered and he noticed that.
"Rukia, are you alright?" I heard the concern and I just nodded while I shivered once again. But this time I couldn't stop shivering. "M-maybe we should get up..."He suggested. I was surprised to hear him stutter, but I quickly just shook it off. I got off him after he let me go. And instantly, I missed his arms around me. We both got up and just stood there for a moment.
I looked around, just to take my mind off things. And that's when I noticed that we were in Toshirou's room. Gods, that just made me blush and feel incredibly uncomfortable.
And as if he had read my mind once again, he said: "I really enjoyed sharing the bed with you and I would be honored if we could do it again sometime soon."
I swear that he did this on purpose. I could feel my cheeks flush even more and I started to feel warm again. What I would have given to have his body against mine right now. And besides, I would really jump onto wrong conclusion. That's when I actually looked down and wondered if I actually had my clothes on my body.
I sighed in relief when I saw that I was still wearing my nightgown. Then I looked at Toshirou and saw that he was still wearing the same clohes as yesterday. It should have relieved me, but it didn't. Not at all actually.
I froze when something hit me. If I was wearing my nightgown and he still his clothes, and I was still able to feel the cold radiating from his body, what could that possibly mean then? Would he be dead? Would he have some kind of disease? Gods, another headache.
I felt my knees almost giving out when strong arms wrapped themselves around me. "Hey, maybe you should lie down again." He helped me back onto the bed and pulled me close. Yes, I was not dreaming. His body was really sending out a lot of cold waves. I shivered again and he then just lied me down and got up.
I felt too dizzy to even look up, but I knew without looking at him that he was staring at me. I just felt his eyes burning its way towards my soul and I shivered again.
I closed my eyes and the next moment, I felt his whole body pressing itself against mine again. My eyes snapped open and the first thing I saw this time were his beatiful turquoise orbs. I felt my breath hitch, especially when a smile appeared on his face. And this time, his body was actually quite warm. It made me question his health. Or rather my brains.
Then I heard him mutter something which made me question him even more. "So that's what lies behind this." What lies behind what? What did he find out?
Toshirou was staring intently at me and I was just about to ask what he was actually doing when he suddenly bent down and pressed his lips onto mine. I was surprised, but my instincts actually kicked in quite fast.
I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck to pull him even closer. I felt that he was licking my lips slowly and I opened them slightly for him, hoping that I wouldn't pass out so I could enjoy these sensations just a little bit more.
He had slipped his tongue into my mouth and I would almost moan at the feeling. It gave so much pleasure and excitement. I ignored my need for air as long as possible before pulling away and panting heavily.
When I calmed down again I could hear him chuckle. "Let's get up and walk on the beach. And maybe just take a dive into the sea."
I looked at him and smiled slightly. He was amazing...
I nodded and he got off of me this time. I walked out of his room, a little bit unsteady, but I would manage. I entered my room and started to smile when I actually saw that it was a very nice day. The bright sunrays were shining through the windows and I could see the sea sparkle because of that. Maybe today wouldn't be as bad as it seemed.
And I was quite shocked to see the black greyish ground that surrounded the house. We were probably somewhere near a vulcano. The thought made me question this location.
Soon, we found ourselves walking on the beautiful beach. The air was intense blue and there were no clouds. The water had also a blue color. I could swear that you could see every single movement you did in that sea.
I was wearing some short pants and a white tank top. It was incredibily warm out here.
We slowly walked over the beach while holding hands. His skin actually comforted me right now. Somehow, I felt really nervous. I got the feeling that someone was watching us and I tried to shake the feeling off as soon as possible. "Hey Toshirou, where are we going?"
He just looked at me and shrugged. We walked for almost half an hour before we stopped. I looked around and saw that there were no people on this part of the beach. I frowned at this. "I wanted to go somewhere quiet, I don't like crowded places." He then said. It sounded quite normal to me, so I just bought his story.
"Are you up for a swim today?" He asked me while he took off his shirt. I just couldn't help but stare at him.
After he took off his shirt, he looked at me and smirked. "You're staring." He stated.
I shook my head and pouted. "I can't help it that you just took off your shirt without warning... besides, do you think that I am able to swim in these clothes?" I wondered if his perverted mind had thought about the fact that if my clothes got wet, he could see almost everything. Then I shook my head. What the hell am I thinking?
I looked down and blushed again. If this continues like this, I am sure that I will get a bleeding nose anytime soon. I could swear that he was grinning when he said this: "Oh, you'll see how we are going to solve this problem."
I heard something else drop onto the ground. I was afraid to look up and the next thing I knew, I felt the warm water hitting my body. I could see the surface of the water, so I got my head above the surface again while I took in a huge breath of air. "Toshirou! Where the hell was that good for!" I was so glad that we were somewhere quiet now. I wouldn't want to draw any attention since I should be 'missing'.
Then he was standing next to me. I blinked and was quite surprised. I was probably too busy within my own world for a few seconds. "Yes Rukia?" He asked innocently. I looked at him and saw that he was smiling like an idiot. I really had the urge to...grr, never mind it.
I glared at him instead. "Couldn't you warn me before you just pushed me into the sea like that!"
I saw a smirk appear on his face. I could almost swear that he would be the reason of my dead. "It wouldn't have been as funny as this you know."
"Bastard." I muttered. Then I got a little idea and since he was standing next to me, I pushed him so he fell. And then I immediately started to swim away, hearing him yelling that I should come back. This was a little piece of perfection in my opinion.
I looked back over my shoulder and saw that he had already started to chase me. I smiled and started to even swim faster, forgetting all my worries for a little while.
After a few hours, included the breaks, I found myself still swimming. We kind of chased each other the whole time. It was fun, but tiring at the same time. Toshirou gestured to me that we were going to take another break.
I was glad we did so. I got onto the beach again while he was already sitting against a palm tree. I sat down next to him and saw a smile on his face. "That was fun." I couldn't help but agree with him.
And in a blink of an eye, I found myself in his lap. I immediately started blushing again, especially when I realized that he was in his boxers. He just smirked and started to bury his face in the crook of my neck. The breath tickled and made me wonder what he was actually doing. But the only thing I actually could think about now was how the burning sensation was spreading through my body. And which actually suprised me the most was that he whispered the word 'adorable'.
He then let me go and looked over me. I blushed when I remembered... my clothes, they... I don't know what to think anymore since I stared in his eyes. I felt like I was just pulled into his world. Something was hidden in those orbs of him, and I wanted to know what. "Y-y-you're n-not g-going to g-get p-p-perverted now, r-right?"
And his response was crashing his lips onto mine. I didn't even know what to think at this point, but my body was already acting on its own. Trying to get him closer and let him stay that close.
His lips tastes a little bit salt, his body was hard and I could feel it since my were still wet. I could hear him groan softly which made me moan in response. We both froze for a moment while we stared at each other, wide eyed. "I guess you enjoyed that." He muttered. Inhaling his scent made me crave for more than a kiss actually. I shook my head.
"Let's head back." I quickly nodded and I got off his lap. I heard him dress himself and after that, we both slowly made our way back.
On the way back, I felt him glancing a few times at me. I looked up and met his gaze after a few times. I saw that he actually was surprised at this. "How...?"
"How I knew that you were looking at me? Is that what you wanted to ask?" I asked him while raising an eyebrow.
I saw him nod dumbly while he tried to mask his surprise with little avail. I chuckled at this. "It's not very difficult. I just can feel it when you look at me." And I know now that you were the person who had that calling effect on me the very first time we had met. I added mentally. Not that I was going to tell him that. I just figured it out myself about an hour ago, when I caught him staring at me.
I saw him frown. "That's strange. Normal humans can't feel that..." I heard him mutter. I frowned. Why did he want to say with that?
I rolled my eyes then, just to hold myself back from asking all the questions that had been raised these days. "Maybe you should visit the doctor Toshirou. Or maybe you just got a lack of sleep."
He shook his head, but kept silent now.
When we got to the house again, Toshirou cleared his throat. "I suggest you take a shower." His voice was a little bit teasing.
I looked at myself in a mirror and laughed. My hair was absolutely a mess and I liked it. My clothes were, of course, being covered with sand. The front part was still wet and, well, you could see a lot more than I wanted to be visible. The outlines of my bra, cough. So he did get perverted after all. I shook my head at this. "Yeah, I guess that I have to take a shower." I said then, turning my attention to him for a few seconds.
Toshirou smiled. "I am in my room, so you know where you can find me."
I nodded and walked to my room. There I grabbed my night dress and some underwear. And while I was taking a shower, many thoughts were still running through my head. But I started to get a feeling that something dramatic was coming my way.
When I was done, and I was sure about the fact that there were no exposed parts where Toshirou could get pervert thoughts from, I knocked on the door of his room. There was no response, so I was not sure if I could enter or not.
After a while, I entered anyway. I wanted to know if he was alright.
I found Toshirou there, lying on his bed. He seemed a little bit lost and it actually hurts me to see him like this. He then looked up and met my gaze. "Rukia." He whispered. The soft whisper made me whole body shiver.
I approached his bed and in a blink of an eye, he was straddling me and hovering over me. I squeaked when I realized that, but calmed myself down when I saw his face. It was way too serious. The most serious expression I had seen since I came here. And his skin had that same awful cold feeling again.
"I won't hurt you, trust me." He softly whispered. I immediately believed him. His eyes told me the truth that had been there all the time, a well hidden sadness. He surely should have seen something or heard something that... that... I don't know what actually.
"Please let me say whatever I want to say. Then you may react if you are still willing to do so." I nodded dumbly, wondering what had happened to get him just as sad as he now was.
"I have gotten this house quite a while ago for my birthday. About 50 years ago, or something like that." I felt my eyes already widen. What would this mean?
"I soon figured out that it was moving. I tried to make friends, but that was quite hard since the house keeps moving except for some rare occasions. I felt quite lonely those days. But the house wasn't the only thing that kept them away from me..."
I looked at him, confused. What was he trying to tell me. "I am a monster, just believe that." I was confused. How could he possibly be a 'monster'? "You're not Toshirou, who made you believe that?"
He shook his head while a bitter chuckle escaped his lips. "Maybe you don't understand Rukia. I always had craved for someone to stay at my side."
I shook my head. "That isn't weird at all Toshirou. Even I would understand that." I put my arms around him and just hugged him. He locked his gaze with mine and I could feel the sadness coming off from him in waves now. What had happened in this short amount of time? Why did the time on the beach seem so far away already?
"I am not what you think you are. You can be angry at me for hiding this. But..." I heard him swallow. And I was sure that I might not want to know this at all. In one swift motion, I pulled him close to me and pressed my lips onto his. I didn't have to know. All I knew was that my heart was clenching because he felt sad and it hurts. I didn't want to see him sad at all.
I tighten my grip and pressed my lips a little bit harder against his. I felt him stiffen at first, but then he relaxed and kissed me back as hard as I was kissing him. This time, I licked his lips slowly. He opened them and I slipped my tongue inside his mouth. It was a strange feeling. Even stranger than having his tongue in my mouth. I slowly started to trace around when I felt something sharp. My eyes shot open and I wondered how many more times this had to happen.
He had shock written all over his face. But instead of removing his lips from mine, he started to lick my tongue. I gasped at the weird feeling, but I could taste my own blood. That's when it hit me. The snarls. The reason why he is so fast sometimes. His sharp teeth. The cold that radiates from his body. The reason why he is licking my tongue right now. He removed his lips from mine by then and I could only stare at him in slight shock. "A vampire...?"
He smiled sadly. "Yes, a vampire." He gave me a full grin and I saw his sharp fangs. I nodded slowly, letting it sink in. And the first thing that actually popped into my mind was... "Oh. My. God." I saw the shock on his face. "I kissed a vampire! How cool's that?"
I saw his confused face while he just shook his head. "You discover that I am a vampire and that's the first thing you have to say?"
I grinned at that. "Yes, actually that is what I said. Didn't I?" He smiled and shook his head some more. "You're weird."
"Hey!" And then I remembered something. "Hey, Toshirou, can I ask you a few questions." He seemed quite relieved and got off me. "Of course."
"Well, if you are a vampire, why did you sleep then?" Remembering what Twilight had said about vampires. He rolled his eyes. "Not everything in Twilight is right. I do not need sleep, but I can if I want to."
"Okay then. And how old are you?" He stared at me if I was some alien. "Um, 115?"
He then started to smile. "So you're actually not afraid of me?"
I frowned. "Che, why should I be afraid? And why do you think that? I could have asked those questions while I tried to think of a way to escape this place."
He just smiled. "Well, your face is all calm. And so are your eyes and your heartbeat. And for being afraid, it's just a matter of time before you find out some things."
"Aw, tell me, please?" I begged while giving my biggest puppy eyes. He then laughed. "You're probably one of the most weirdest girls I've ever seen and met."
I just smiled. "Yes, maybe I am just weird. But weird in a good way. That much you have to admit!"
AN: Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! Till next week!~
