Rays of Midnight

Turned

She looks so beautiful… Syaoran thought while his fingers lightly traced over her skin. What he couldn't understand was how they both had fallen asleep.

Vampires don't sleep.

He leaned in and wrapped her into an embrace, his brow furrowing when he felt her heart-beat. Granted that it was an irregular heart-beat, but she had been turned, so… why?

This made no sense. Was it because of her lineage? Does that mean that she would age? Panic entered him suddenly. Do I have no chance of spending eternity with her? Worry poured over him like ice cold water. He shivered from it.

Sakura stirred. "Nmh.. Syaoran?" He felt her stretch in his arms, his arms held her closer reflexively. "How do you feel? Is your body ok?" Their eyes met.

That's right.. she thought, her face catching a lovely rose undertone. "I am a little thirsty.." She started feeling his body go stiff under her. "You're hungry?"

She shook her head. She leaned her head down and inhaled his scent. Her throat started to feel dry suddenly, making it almost impossible to speak.

Syaoran felt her thin fingers trace up his bare chest, her perfectly shaped nails lightly scratching his skin as she ran her hands down again. She looked up, her eyes hungry. "This might sound a bit off.." she started, his eyes focused on her pearly white fangs begin to surface from her strawberry lips. He swallowed, Why am I salivating?

"Go on.." He pressed, Shit.. why am I getting worked up over this?

She blushed, "I'd like to try and.. " Her pretty face heated further, not being able to say, she traced his neck with her fingers instead. His eyes widened. "You want to feed on me?" Disbelief in his voice.

".. Un," She nodded. His form became stiff.

She took his lack of response as confirmation. He stood there completely still as she slithered her petite form over his, he realized she was naked under the sheets, his face heated. He could feel her perfect breasts mesh against his chest, but…we don't feed on each other.. What if she gets sick? "S-saku-" He felt her fangs trace over his neck, it brought a nostalgic sensation.

"ra.." He stuttered a response while he felt the sharpness of them, her fangs perched on the crook of his neck, pressed, and suddenly sank in. The pain he felt from it was almost erotic, her tongue coaxing more of his blood out. "Nm.." Her eyes closed as she drank from him.

She never noticed it before, but he had a wonderful scent. He had a heart beat as well, but it was very low and soft, she could barely feel it against her lips. His blood felt cool and heavy, soothing and calming. She released his neck once she was full, she licked the mark she left, earning a shiver from him. "I didn't hurt you did I?" She asked, her voice low. He said nothing and flipped her over.

She squeaked feeling his full groin on her. Her pupils dilated when their eyes met. "My turn.." He whispered angling his head and bit into her. The pain felt different. She moaned, tracing her hands up and down his sides as she felt him suck.

She bucked her hips against his, earning a strange noise from him as he released her neck. A surprised look on his face. His hands took hold of her hips, parting her legs and forcing his way inside of her. Her mouth opened in a gasp at the sudden intrusion. She bucked against him while he matched her movements in hard thrusts.

His hands reached to grab her perfectly shaped breast. He released her neck and delved his tongue into her mouth. He felt her hands dig into his hair, pressing him deeper into her mouth. His mind was spiraling, his other hand grabbed her rear and lifted up, and pushed further into her. "L-Li-AH!" Her legs were dangling on either side of his waist.

He was on his knees on the bed, her lithe body in full view, only her head touching the bed. I want to scar her… he thought lovingly, he watched her breasts move back and forth harshly in time with his thrusts. He loved how desperate she was to push his hips away from hers. Her mouths open in rapture of her orgasm.

His eyes closed as he went, thrust quickened, going in and out more aggressively. . Fuck… oh fuck! He felt her little muscles tighten around his cock almost painfully. He shuttered, his orgasm thundering through him and he collapsed on her. For some reason his breathing was labored.

He shakily reached over and moved a stray hair away from her face with tender care. She had the biggest of smiles on her face, eyes closed.

"Your blood…" He mused, his cheeks red. "You taste even better than before…" He said in surprise. I can still… feed on her? Their eyes met. "You feel satisfied as well?" He asked. She nodded, his look turned confused by the look on her face. "Are you crazy?" She asked rhetorically, "Of course I'm satisfied."

"Syaoran.. nani desu ka?" Her little hands touching either side of his face. "This is impossible…" He breathed, "We aren't able to feed on each other… this shouldn't happen…" He said in disbelief.

She blinked.

"Maybe I didn't turn correctly?" She asked.

He scoffed, "There's no such thing, and if you couldn't turn you would have died by now." He said his voice going lower and serious. Their eyes searched each other, "Maybe it's because I'm part elf?" She asked, he seemed hesitant to agree with her.

A knock sounded on the door.

"Who is it?" Syaoran demanded roughly, making Sakura jump under him, his hand petting Sakura's cheek tenderly in apology. His eyes never left the door.

"It's Meilin… " Said a quiet voice, "It's starting to get hot out here, you guys have been in there for 4 days, it's bright out today."

Sakura jumped up and grabbed her clothes, quickly putting them on. Syaoran mirrored her actions, slapping on one of her bigger shirts, since his was scorched through from the sunlight. Wait..

"Come in." Sakura mused, dusting off her skirt as the door opened. They got a good glimpse of the brightness outside. Syaoran stilled, his head facing the open door.

Before, he could only compare the sun-rays to thin lines of fire that would hurt and burn even when his skin came close. He saw Meilin cringe her way inside. His eyes widened. "Sakura-chan.." Syaoran called, his eyes gazing out the door while he leaned his hand out in her direction.

Meilin stilled as she watched the newborn flow toward Syaoran. Meilin had huddled to a darker part of the room, nursing her irritated skin. It was then she realized that the sun light wasn't bothering them. "Li- you should cover yourself.." Her voice died down when he removed his cloak, and walked toward the exit.

"Li! What are you doing?!" Meilin demanded in a loud whisper. Alarm written all over her face. She noticed him stick his hand out, pieces of the sun hitting his skin…

It.. doesn't feel like fire…

Both Meilin and Syaoran were stupefied. "How are you doing that?" Meilin asked, not believing what she was seeing.

"Just before you interrupted us, we had just finished feeding." Li murmured, looking to Meilin. "I fed on Sakura after she was turned."

Meilins eyes widened. "You can't feed on the blood of the dead you idiot! You'll get weak and she's going to get sick!"

Sakura shook her head, "I fed on Li and I'm perfectly fine." She said in gentle protest. Meilin-li's jaw fell open. "Are you both crazy!?" She stopped once she saw the mark on Sakura's neck, confusion entered her, "Wait… did she really turn?"

Syaoran and Sakura nodded.

"We think it's because im part elf." Sakura murmured, looking to Syaoran, "When I woke up… it felt like my throat was burning." She said, "The thirst was unbearable."

Syaoran's face heated, "And then she bit me."

"And now you're immune to sunlight."

Syaoran nodded.

"Doesn't everyone come back with a gift?" Sakura thought out loud. Syaoran's eyes widened, "So you were granted the gift immunity?" Meilin said in disbelief.

"That's… one helluva gift…" She murmured, then turned to Li. "So she has the power to give anyone immunity to sunlight so long as they feed on her?"

Sakura pouted, "And here I thought I'd be safe from being fed on…"

Syaoran held her possessively, "You aren't going to be fed on by anyone except me Sakura."

Meilin noticed, Indeed Sakura's skin was a pale color, her eyes still retained that evergreen emerald color. It was deeper somehow, darker, but still there. Sakura had managed to salvage her soul.. She stiffened noticing something about her that remained. "Li please close that damned door!"

"-Oh." He closed it quickly, and just as soon as he did, Meilin was behind Sakura in a flash. She pressed her head against Sakura's back, Syaoran's eyes turned angry, "What the hell are you doing!?"

" It's ok Li." Sakura said soothingly, her hand going to hold his cheek in her palm. Syaoran stiffened, "Meilin never fed on me even when I was partially human, what makes you think she would feed on me now?"

Syaoran visibly calmed. "You have a point.."

Meilin's eyes widened. "You… you have a –"

"Heartbeat?" Syaoran finished. Meilin met eyes with Li, "But that means she's still alive…" Her voice breaking. "No.. I thought that she would stay with us forever now… why?.."

Sakura hugged Meilin reflexively. "You have one too Meilin." Her eyes widened. "It's very low, and barely there, but I can feel it."

Sakura stilled suddenly, then separated herself from both of them, her eyes gleaming. "Sakura?" They both spoke in concern, they made a move toward her but she just lifted a hand as if to say, 'halt.'

"Is it ok now?" She asked, seeing their looks turn confused. "Can I come home now?"

"Sakura…"
