Title: Bloodlust Bonus chapter - The Vampire who saw the sun

By: Uchiha-chan aka Hayashi11

I remember that I once asked her this question.

"How does the sun feel like?"

I was sure she didn't expect that coming. She was standing behind cuddling me. The hands around my waist tighten; a sign that says that she's thinking. She was a little taller so it was natural for her to lean into me and rested her chin on my shoulders; a position that we share whenever we were out on the roof of the castle, watching the moon and stars, sharing the warmth. She thought for a few minutes, both of us sank into the comfortable silence.

"It feels… totally different from what you see here. In fact, it's totally opposite… How do I put this…"

I nodded and nudged her to continue. Her warmth seeped through the layers of clothing to my cold skin. As a Vampire who had lived a considerable length of time I almost forgot what warmth felt like but time to time, she will sneak up to me when no one is around and hold me like that to give me the warm and secure feeling.

"Sometimes it shines very brightly… So hot that it's scorching… "

She tried to explain in broken sentences. Not that I mind, I am used to that.

"Sometimes it's a welcoming blanket of warmth after some long harsh winter…"

I closed my eyes and tried to put that image in my mind. That seems so familiar even though I have never seen or felt it before. I nodded again and put my own hands on hers.

"Er…sometimes it feels hot and muggy, that you will feel like getting under water and never come up… Sometimes it will get so hot that you will feel like being burnt to chips!"

It's crisp my dear… crisp…

That thought came to my head almost immediately but I made no effort to correct her. She knew that I understood her. Or maybe, she didn't know that she made a little vocabulary mistake.

"It gives light to the world and shines on it protectively…"

Where there is light, there is darkness…

That saying seems to relate to the relationship between Humans and Vampires. It describes a balance between all things.

"Discribe it to me in detail…"

A swamp of bats flew past headed out to the night for a feast of moths that settled in the western area. After those shrieks from the bats died down, she continued.

"…er… Why did you ask?"

"I want to see the other part of the world that I cannot touch… I want to understand it through your eyes…"

"Alright, let me think…"

I leaned back and rested against her, her soft whispers tickled my neck; a funny sensation that I still could not understand till this day. The normally noisy, boisterous girl was capable of being so romantically quiet. I must say I am impressed.

"I guess I have to be detail…"

It seems like you and everyone else who lives in daylight, take the sun and it's warmth for granted. Just like what we who live in the night do, we take the shadows and it's darkness as a natural comfort zone.

"It's very bright. Looking directly at it will damage your eyes…"

"…As bright as the moon?"

Of course I knew that the moon is not the one giving out light. I've read enough scientific notes to understand how the whole thing operates but it is the feelings that was lacking in the papers.

"Would you feel happy in it?"

"Happy?"

She tilted her head and looked at me. It was more of a thinking pout than a smile on her face…

…Utterly adorable.

"Well… If you are talking about children, they will be happy. They feel safe and warm under the sunlight and will run about everywhere. Workers laboring under the sun may not like it that much. Grannies and Grandpas will like to sit under the shade, watch kids play under the sun and think about their good old days. I think mothers will be glad too! They won't have to wash rain soaked clothes or muddy pants…"

"Haruka-chan...get to the point please."

Another thing cute about her was that she easily sidetracks. Not that it is bad, but for a scientist who only wants the answer… it might be a little long and hard to follow. But I like it.

"Yea? Oh… sorry… Well I guess they will be happy."

"So…Am I right to say that the sun is a positive thing in terms of emotionally and mentally?"

After much thought, she nodded in agreement.

"Yea, you can say so…"

"I think I understand… And I think I have been looking at the sun for a long time…"

"Won't you get burned to crumbs? I mean… Don't you…"

There was a glint of panic in her eyes. She knew of the devastating effects the sun have on us.

"Hush…"

My soft gaze, gentle words and a finger on her lip silenced her effectively. She looks like a confused puppy waiting for me to continue.

"Haruka-chan… You are that sun …. that shone brightly into my life…"

"I am?"

I could slowly see the transformation from confusion to anxiety. What's she thinking? I could only wait and see…

"You mean … I… I …caused you pain?... Did I hurt you?"

Sometimes you are just so adorable and dense but really dead to romance…

There was a hurt in the look that she gave me, her grip around me loosened.

"No silly, I mean that in a good way. I love the Sun."

I took the opportunity and turned around, putting my arms around her and pulling her close. Those light purple eyes changed dramatically from thinking to realization. At the first sign of the blushing, I guess she understood.

"I..er…I……"

This time I silenced her with my lips. This was not the first time we shared a kiss; scientifically known as exchange of saliva. But still, she could blush and stutter so hard, making her look like a young girl with a crush.

Despite that, she had some improvement. The blond in my arms gingerly put her hands back around me and deepened that little exchange, quietly slipping her tongue in and played with my sharp and slightly longer canines. She knew my teeth were sensitive to human flesh yet she did it which made me wonder. But honestly speaking, I liked that. She broke away before I did, gasping for air. In such an experiment, it shows that Vampires have better lung capacity.

"This may sound like corn but if you think I am the sun, you are the moon."

For once she lost me. Her warm hand glided up to my cheek, looking at me dearly.

"Corn?...Ohhh!… You mean corny?"

Usually she won't mind letting me correct her English but this time since I broke that wonderful atmosphere that could lead to another round of kissing, she was a little irritated.

"Does a single letter matter?"

Her brow was creased, but I smoothed it with a finger. I smiled.

"It made a world of difference dear."

This time I slipped my arms around her neck and shoulders and pulled her in for a closer look. Just as my vision refocused at the face so close to mine, she shut her eyes and closed the gap between us, sealing it with another kiss. I was surprised that for once she threw away that strict and harsh bodyguard look. For once, she took the initiative…but…

"Ha……Har… Haruka-chan! Wait…"

I broke away, but not that I needed air…

"What?"

"I know you like my teeth… but you are playing with fire you know…"

If she continued tempting me with her tongue, I might lose control and sink my fangs into her. That is not something I want to happen.

"I'm willing to be burned by you…"

The seriousness in her eyes melted my heart right away. She made me realize that I love her as much as she loved me.

"…and I am prepared for anything that can let me stay with you… forever…"

A drop of blood, a sacred ritual, an ancient prayer; our wish was granted.

That night, we celebrated our love with a new blood bond that bound us together for eternity.

Looking back at this unforgettable night, I knew I made the right choice. I didn't make her into my kind. She should not be bound to the darkness by the blood in her veins because she belongs to the world under the sun.
