Chapter 13: Close To The Show
When Allen woke, it was still dark. It could've been the same night, or the next, it was hard for him to tell from the hospital room. He blinked blearily, yawning. Kanda had gone. He stretched, wincing a little at the soreness of his ribs. "I'll be glad once I can leave here," he muttered to himself, fiddling with the sheets a bit. The room was dark. He sighed. Maybe he should go back to sleep.
"Why're you so sure that you'll be allowed to leave so soon?"
Allen's breath caught in his throat at the sound of the deep voice. His head jerked around swift to see a tall figure standing in the shadows he had overlooked when he had looked around the dark room. The vampire walked from where he was standing and a sliver of light from a street light filtering through the window hit the handsome features.
"W-what do you want?" the boy choked out, panicking. He shifted in his bed, getting to his knees so that he could move backwards. His ribs protested, but he ignored the pain, eyes locked on Tyki.
"Oh, I can't come visit the sick?" Tyki asked, with a small glance at the boy. "You do look better." He had moved even closer now.
Allen moved back on the bed, almost to the edge, but Tyki stopped him. He grabbed his arm. "What, you don't want to talk?"
"You put me in here!" he yelped. His panic had grown to almost terror. His eyes were wide as he looked up at the tall vampire. Tyki ran his free hand through his hair, watching the child with a bored expression. His golden eyes trailed down from Allen's face to his neck. Allen's eyes widened.
"But you see...I can't really have you leaving just yet," he said. "Or should I say we. We can't have you leaving, to be with your beloved Yu."
"...W-what are you...going to do?" Allen whispered, leaning away from the man as much as icy grip on his arm allowed. "You can't kill me! That would be bad for Kanda! You c-can't!" Had they given up on helping Kanda? Were they just going to kill him?
"Quite right you are, boy," Tyki said. "I'm not going to kill you, as I said before, on our first...I mean second...meeting."
Allen bit his lip. He needed to be strong. "Then...then what?" he asked. His voice was steady, with only a slight quiver. He was glad that he had gained control of that at least. "What are you doing to do?"
"I just need something from you. And I do remember your taste..." Tyki said, his lips curving into a smirk. Allen could see his fangs in the slight light of the street lamp. Allen didn't have a good feeling about this. He had a really really bad feeling about this.
"...What...do you need from me?" Allen asked. He was starting to lose the control he had gotten of his voice. There was a tremble in it that he couldn't get rid of. His heart beat swiftly as he pulled against the vampire's hold.
"Your blood," Tyki said, smirking darkly. The boy jerked back violently and managed to break free of the grip the man had on him. The vampire growled with a slight snap of his teeth and grabbed onto Allen's wrist. Allen let out a small cry, struggling.
"P-please don't!" Allen said, trying to pull away from him.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you," Tyki said, and yanked the boy's head back by his silver hair, exposing his neck. Allen's back arched slightly as well at the extent of the pull. He let out a hiss of pain and fear. Tears had appeared in his silver eyes. No, no, no, no! This isn't happening! It can't be! KANDA!
Tyki had leaned down and a shudder went through the small figure as he felt the vampires lips against his neck. And then the familiar burst of pain as he sunk his teeth into his neck. But unlike Kanda, he wasn't gentle in his bite, if that was even possible. He bit down harder.
"A-ah..." he gasped, eyes closing partially. He had already lost a lot of blood, he could tell by the way his head spun. He could feel something hot and wet running down from his neck, knowing his blood was overflowing from the gash. Tyki drank deeply, growling slightly. "S-stop..." His voice was weak and broken.
Tyki gave no sign that he had even heard the boy. Allen trembled, eyes half lidded. The vampire was holding him up from his wrist and the hand tangled in his hair and he could feel the slight strain. Would he stop? Allen didn't know. He was having trouble thinking.
"P-please...s-s...t...op..." Allen lost consciousness, going completely limp in Tyki's hold. He noticed the dead weight and pulled away.
"Damn you taste good," Tyki grunted, before pulling two glass vials from his pocket. He filled them with Allen's blood, which he was still losing. He slipped one back into his pocket, dropping the boy. He fell against the bed, head to the side. His neck was still bleeding. The other vial he placed hidden on a shelf. "Now I can't have you dying..." he murmured to himself as he left the room, closing it with a small click.
He had made sure as to not get any blood on him. That wouldn't have been good. He went to the first nurse he saw and said, "I think you should check up on Mr. Walker," then walked away. The nurse stared, startled then rushed to Allen's room to check on him.
Tyki fiddled with the vial of blood as he walked through the hospital. He heard an announcement for security. "Time for me to go," he said and hurried on before anyone could catch him. He was outside before anyone had suspected it was him. He whistled as he walked down the street. He could totally tell how Allen was a Blood Child, with blood that sweet.
"It's about time we end this nonsense," he muttered to himself. "You're coming back to us, Yu."
-ooo-
Kanda had walked into the hospital, intending to visit Allen. But immediately, he knew something was wrong. Terribly wrong. The feeling grew the farther into the hospital he got; the closer he got to his Blood Child's room. Why did he feel like this? Something had happened. And when he saw several nurses around the door, which was open, he knew it had.
He hurried forward, eyes narrowed. "What the hell happened?!" he snapped at a nurse. She glanced at him, but said nothing for a moment.
"You're going to have to go wait in the waiting room, sir," she stated.
"I'm not going anywhere until someone tells me what happened," he growled, eyes flashing dangerously. The nurse glanced at her companion. She gave a slight nod and went into the room. Kanda could hear voices, then the doctor came out. "What happened?!"
"I knew you would come...Someone came in and...I'm not sure how it happened, but he's lost a large amount of blood. We've stabilized him, so he'll be alright. Don't worry. I'm still concerned about it happened....do you know anyone who would do something like that to him? Or that would be able to get in?" The doctors eyes didn't leave Kanda and he knew that the man suspected him.
"Can I see him?" he asked, instead of answering. The doctor was silent for a moment then nodded. He moved aside and Kanda went in. The doctor let the door close behind him and then Kanda was alone with the boy. Allen was lying still on the bed, his neck bandaged. He had an IV in his arm, containing some sort of clear liquid.
The room reeked of Allen's blood, so sweet and strong it made Kanda's head spin at the strength. And then another scent that made him freeze. Tyki. He gave a loud growl. It had been Tyki! He clenched his fists tightly at his sides, eyes on Allen. Then he frowned slightly, inhaling. Where was that scent coming from? It smelled like fresh blood. He turned around, stalking to the shelf and pulled the vial of blood out.
In case you feel hungry was written in scrawling pen. That was Tyki's handwriting, no doubt about that. "Damn you Tyki," the long haired vampire growled, closing his fingers around the vial of Allen's blood. He slipped it into his pocket. Walking over to Allen, he leaned down and kissed the boy's forehead before leaving the room.
His eyes flashed dangerously as he walked down the hall and out of the hospital. He wanted to find Tyki and drive a stake through his heart. He had a terrible feeling that the ancient vampire hadn't done that just because he wanted a taste. He probably had taken some of the boys blood with him. He had no idea what they were planning.
Kanda paid no attention to the people around him and ran into a few of them. But after giving them a sharp glare they backed off as he walked passed. They didn't want to deal with someone like him. He stalked back to the house, and nearly flipped the couch completely, forcing Lavi, who had been dozing, onto the ground.
"W-what?! What?! I didn't do anything! I was just sleeping! God, Yu, what's gotten into you?!" the redheaded vampire yelped, staring up at his sire. Kanda held out the vial of blood and the note for Lavi to see. The green eye moved slowly, reading the note, then he blinked slowly. "Uh...am I supposed to...have done this?"
"No," the other vampire growled dangerously and Lavi shifted, nervous. "But I'm thinking that you might know something about it. It was Tyki. The vampire who you're currently playing the role of toy of, you know? I know you're helping him, so tell me what this is about." His eyes flashed. He was about ready to kill him.
"Y-Yu...calm down...Just...calm down," Lavi said getting to his feet. "I'm sure there's a reason..."
"The reason is some sort of plan by Tyki and Road, to get me 'back'! And they don't want Allen with me, that's for sure, because Tyki nearly drained him completely," he snapped viciously. Lavi flinched, then scratched the back of his head.
"Look, I don't know anything about this, Yu-chan," he said with a small nervous grin. "Promise."
"Just because you were too enthralled to hear anything," he spat back. "Pathetic."
"Oi!" Lavi said, looking annoyed. "I'm not some dog, that comes when its called. And I'm not enthralled. Not a toy either!"
Kanda snorted. "Could've fooled me. Tyki says jump, and you say how high. I've known him for a long time, a great deal longer than you, idiotic traitor, and I've seen what he does to the weak-minded. Tch. Has he done you yet?" His tone was spiteful, full of hate.
Lavi's jaw clenched slightly, although Kanda didn't miss the light blush that spread across the vampire's cheeks. "No."
"At least you're not totally his yet then, but its only a matter of time. Bastard. Next thing I know, you'll just be handing Allen to them," he said, turning away from Lavi.
"I don't want the kid dead!"
"Spare me," Kanda spat, not wanting to deal with the redhead any longer. He disappeared into the bedroom, slamming the door shut with such force that it cracked. Lavi stared at it for a moment then turned away, fixing his hair. He walked passed the couch and out the door. He didn't want the kid dead, really. He couldn't help that the elder vampire was...stronger than he was.
He walked down the sidewalk, hands in pockets. He paused, turning slightly at a familiar scent. "Tyki?" he murmured, his green gaze traveling around. He wondered where the other vampire was, the scent seemed new.
"Quite right you are, love," a voice said behind him and the redhead jumped turning around. Tyki had come up behind him. "How're you feeling this fine night?"
"...Kanda nearly crushed me with the couch," Lavi stated, watching the vampire closely. Tyki was circling him, and it was rather distracting, the way his gaze lingered. "He hates you, you know that right?"
"Well of course," Tyki said. "But he'll be back to his normal self soon enough, and he won't be so spiteful." He stopped his circling, standing in front of the younger vampire. His golden eyes didn't leave Lavi.
"...About that...what exactly are you doing?" the redhead asked. "You took some of Allen's blood? Yu said that you nearly drained him..."
"He's very sweet," Tyki commented.
"...Yeah...Anyway. You're doing something. To...get him back? Besides the ritual?" he asked. He was still himself at the moment, but he didn't know how much longer that would last. He didn't know if Tyki would be angry or not for him asking questions. It seemed to him that Tyki wasn't one to get angry.
"Oh, my dear boy...you are very smart, aren't you?" he said.
"Its not that hard to see that you're planning something," Lavi said.
"Ah well. Yes, we are doing something before the ritual. The time for the ritual isn't yet right, but if we do this, then we will have a much more cooperative Yu..." His golden gaze went to the sky, where the moon was floating, almost full. "A couple more days, and the moon will be right...We just have to get Yu in the right place."
Lavi was silent, eyes on Tyki. He was starting to have his normal affect on the redhead, his mind getting foggy. Tyki met his gaze. Lavi sagged slightly as he started talking again. It was hard to resist.
"And you're going to help us with that..." he said in a low voice, smirking. "You're going to help get Yu to a place where we can do the rites. It won't be that difficult. The graveyard might do nicely...Yu was created in a graveyard...fitting." He backed Lavi up against the wall. The redhead stumbled slightly, green eye wide but glazed, back against the stone. "Correct? You're helping us."
"...Y-yeah..." Lavi said, trying to think clearly but with no luck.
"Good boy," Tyki said and pulled away. "Now..."
Lavi, hand on his head, looked at him. Now that he wasn't as close, it was a bit easier to formulate a thought that made a bit of sense. "...I think I want you to come with me..." the vampire's voice was low again and Lavi nearly fell over with the extent of the power, head going blank.
"Ok..." Lavi said, dazed. Tyki wrapped an arm around his shoulder, leading him out of the alley they had ended up in. It was late and there were very few people out at this time. No one saw the two vampires as they walked down the street, one half leaning against the other.
"Good your back," Road chirped as Tyki opened the door to the old house, then looked at Lavi, head to the side. "What's this?"
"Never you mind, Road," Tyki said lightly, walking passed her into the house. "...Business..."
"You think I can't figure out what that means, Tyki?" she asked, pouting. "You can't just tell me? I know what you're gunna do."
"Oh, here Road. Your blood," Tyki said and handed her the small vial of Allen's blood. She took it with a gleeful giggle and skipped off to her table where an assortment of objects lay. She opened it, smelling it before stoppering it once more, setting it down. Tyki swept passed her, arm still around Lavi's shoulder, disappearing upstairs.
Road settled down into a chair in front of the table, starting to put something into the stone basin she had settled on the table. She hummed to herself happily. "Yu's gunna come home!" she murmured.
Tyki closed the door with a snap. "...What..." Lavi said blinking up at the other vampire, but he was cut off as Tyki kissed him crushingly, backing him up to the bed.
"I think its time to make you mine..." Tyki murmured a smirk curving his lips. Then Lavi would have an even harder time breaking free of him.
-ooo-
Lavi jerked awake. For several seconds, he had no clue where he was. He was staring up at an unfamiliar ceiling. He looked around slowly, before realizing he was lying in a bed, under the covers, without clothing, and there was a body very close to his.
He let out a yelp jerking away and ended up falling off the bed. "Oh...my god...Oh my god..." he spluttered out, staring up at the bed, and the vampire who had just sat up, sheets around his waist. Tyki smirked. Lavi pushed his way away from the bed, looking shocked and confused.
"What's wrong, love?" Tyki asked. "You seem distressed."
"I seem...distressed?! And you...wonder why?!" Lavi spluttered out, eye wide. His mind was clear, but it hadn't been the night before. He wouldn't have agreed to this. "You tricked me!"
"I did nothing of the sort," Tyki said getting up. He started to dress. "You didn't stop me."
"I was...dazed...and...enthralled!" Lavi used Kanda's wording, since it seemed the best in this situation.
"Enthralled?" Tyki said, amusement in his golden eyes as he pulled his shirt on. "I rather like that wording."
"Gah!" Lavi pulled his clothes on swiftly, flustered. He winced. He was sore. He fled the room and the other vampire, running down the stairs.
"Did you have fun?" Road called. A blush dusted Lavi's cheeks but he didn't stop, just continued through the door. It was the next night. Oh god. What the hell had gotten into him?! After a moment he answered himself Tyki. But that just made him turn scarlet, when he realized how wrong that sounded.
"Ehh!" Lavi shook himself vigorously. "Oh...my god...gah...I need something to eat." He tried to push away the thoughts about Tyki, trying to focus on the hunt. He shuddered, mind drifting back. He wouldn't have done that in his right mind. He didn't think he would've done that even if he had been thinking straight, but he was wrong.
-ooo-
Kanda knew something had happened to Lavi when he didn't return to the house. He hoped it was horrible, like getting hit by a truck then burning or something like that. But in the back of his mind, he knew that it wasn't that. He couldn't shake the feeling that Tyki had finally claimed what was his. He shook his head. Good riddance. If that was the case, then he didn't have to deal with the traitor. He was Tyki's now.
He headed straight to the hospital hoping that Allen had woken up. He didn't even pause at the desk, just walking through passed the nurse and to Allen's room. He knew the way. As he neared Allen's room, he paused. He hoped that he was alright. Then he opened the door and went in.
"Kanda..." Allen said softly. The vampire looked over, seeing the boy lying in bed, looking pale but otherwise fine. He was smiling. Kanda walked over to him, sitting down.
"How're you feeling, Moyashi?" he asked, watching the boy carefully.
"Bit fuzzy," Allen mumbled. His silver eyes were glazed. "But fine. They said I can still leave the same time...I just needed more blood."
"Tyki won't like it that you'll be able to leave the same time. I think he wanted you to have to stay longer," Kanda said.
"Yeah...he said that," the boy said softly. "Oh Kanda...I was so scared..."
The vampire hugged him close. "I'm sorry..."
"For a little there...at the very end...I thought he was just going to kill me. He took so much," he said. Allen took a shaky breath. "But I'm okay. Soon I'll be able to leave here and we can be together." He smiled. Kanda kissed him gently.
"You're strong," he commented. "Even after all this craziness, you can still smile and say you're okay." He played with a bit of Allen's hair as the boy watched him.
"Are you hungry?" he asked Kanda.
"No," he answered. "Anyway, Tyki was kind enough to leave me some..." Allen made a face.
"...Do you know what he needs my blood for?" the silver haired boy asked.
"Some ritual, besides the one that cuts the bonds between a vampire and a Blood Child, thats for sure," Kanda murmured.
"Ug. I'm really getting tired of rituals and things too," Allen said. "Almost as tired of them as of having to stay in the hospital..."
Kanda couldn't help but chuckle. "But you'll be out of the hospital soon. You get out tomorrow, don't you?" Allen nodded, beaming happily. He was glad to get out. Although Kanda thought he might be a bit, even just a little, safer here than at his house or around. The old vampires were planning some sort of ritual, that needed Allen's blood, and some of Kanda's hair. Both weren't good signs. They symbolized life and a connection to whomever the ritual was supposed to target.
"Then you should sleep," Kanda said and kissed him gently. "You'll need to be strong, if they're going to let you out. See you tomorrow then?"
Allen nodded, although he looked a bit sad as Kanda got up. "Bye," he said. Kanda left the room. He wished the nervous feeling would go away. But it wouldn't. He shook his head vigorously. Damn instincts. Every one of them was telling him that there was danger forming. And he knew it would be bad, because Allen was getting out, and then he'd be stuck in the middle.
He didn't feel hungry, so just headed back to the house. He seemed to be spending a large sum of time there, he realized. He really wanted to spend time at Allen's, with Allen, but that would just have to wait. He stalked in, finding Lavi there.
"Oi, where were you last night? I thought you might've been killed. I guess I didn't get my wish," Kanda said, looking at the redhead.
"Oh...out hunting and stuff. Got stuff somewhere else when the sun came up," he said.
"Yeah, lier. You're Tyki's pet now," he said venomously. "Why'd you even come back?"
"I am not! Where'd you get that idea?" Lavi asked.
"The mark on your neck plainly states it," Kanda pointed out flatly. "So leave. Go be with your master."
"Yu! He's not my master...he just...got me..." Lavi said, cheeks slightly pink. "I was dazed, I couldn't say no!"
"Weakling," Kanda said.
Lavi fell silent, following the dark haired vampire with his lone green eye as he walked across the room to the bedroom. "I totally believe you," he said sarcastically, glancing back from the doorway.
"...How's the sprout?" he asked, wondering if he'd answer.
"Fine," Kanda spat, then added without thinking, "he's going to be released the same as before. Tyki's plan didn't work." Then he turned and disappeared, closing the already broken door. Once inside, he realized what he had just said "Damn it." He gritted his teeth. Lavi would just go and tell Tyki.
He heard footsteps and the door close and knew Lavi was now running back to his master.
