CHAPTER 29: BITTER CONSEQUENCES
Jun looked over at Ruka and smiled softly, "Ruka, dear, I'm afraid this may not go as smoothly as I intended. May I ask that you go about your studies? It seems like Kain would like a further discussion with me."
Ruka nodded her head as she stood to her feet. The young woman was torn between Kain's attempts of freeing the night dorm from Jun's authority and Jun's attempts at keeping himself in a respectable position in the eyes of all the students. "Yes, Jun-sama." Said Ruka as she bowed her head respectably before leaving the room.
"All right, let's settle this like men...One will talk, while the other listens and vice versa. Agreed?" Asked Jun as Kain smirked and replied, "Good, I say you get the hell out of here and let things go back to the way they used to be. No questions asked or else the council will see who you really are."
Jun chuckled as he replied, "If there's one thing life has taught me, it's that things never go back to the way they used to be, no matter how much you wish they would. Isn't that right, Ka-chan?" Jun looked over at Kaname before the younger pureblood looked away from Jun, not wanting to look directly at him; feeling shame from his past once again.
Jun made his way towards the front of his desk and faced Kain for a moment before walking past him. "Come, sit." Said Jun as he motioned his hand to a small sitting area that was off to the side. A small coffee table and a couch on either side of it.
"Please." He insisted as Kain let out a small sigh before walking past Jun and sitting on the furthest couch. Aido followed Kain, but was stopped as he reached Jun. "Aido, you can sit with me." Said Jun as he pushed the boy lightly, causing him to lose his balance and sit on the opposing couch Kain was on.
Kain narrowed his eyes and stood up quickly, "Don't touch him." There was a threat hidden in those words; Jun could hear it. Jun smirked as he sat next to Aido and motioned his hand for Kaname to make his way over towards Kain. Kaname walked over towards Kain as Jun replied, "I listened to you without interrupting. Now, you are going to listen...and you will not interrupt me or remove yourself from your seat, understood?"
"What're you trying to pull?" Asked Kain as Jun sighed and looked at Kaname. "He doesn't quite understand, Ka-chan, show him to his seat." Said Jun as Kaname let out a quite sigh, afraid what Jun was planing. All he could do was listen for now. Kaname placed a hand on Kain's shoulder and smiled up at him.
"Go ahead and have a seat Kain." Kaname said delicately, giving Kain a little reassurance that the younger pureblood had his back, no matter what happened. He had hoped at least. Kain nodded his head and sat down on the couch as Kaname walked around the the back of the couch and stood behind Kain, incase he needed to keep Kain in his seated position.
Jun smiled as he leaned back and rested his right arm across the back of the couch, keeping his eyes on Kain. "It seems like you no longer want me here." Said Jun as Kain scoffed and replied, "We never wanted you here. Kaname is the rightful president of this dorm and everyone agrees with me. They just don't say anything because you've put them in a state of fear."
"Well, I've found out that..." Jun paused as his hand slide from the back of the couch and grazed it along Aido's right shoulder before caressing the boy's hair delicately. "Fear is the most effective way when keeping people in line."
Kain went to lean forward, but Kaname quickly placed a hand on his shoulder and pulled him back, warning him not to disobey. Kaname didn't want to see Jun do his worst to Kain. "It's amazing what simple things can instill fear into someone." Said Jun as his hand caressed Aido's cheek before leaning the boy closer to his body.
"Huh?..." Aido felt his body being pulled closer until his hands were against Jun's chest in a delicate manner and he was able to gaze up and see Jun's handsome smile. "I've also noticed..." Jun started as he brought his hand away from Aido's face and placed it on his thigh instead. "That the best way to make someone fear you..." Jun continued as he hand trailed from the boy's thigh to his knee, where Jun hooked his hand under and pulled on the boy so his body twisted just perfectly. Aido gasped at the sudden movement, feeling his leg being pulled over Jun's so his groin was snugged tight to Jun's outer thigh.
"Is by threatening the one's they love the most." Jun finished as he brought his hand back up and placed his index finger on Aido's bottom lip seductively, tempting him to take it. Aido's eyes showed nervousness, fear, but above all, lust. Jun smirked at the sight as Kain leaned forward and shouted, "Get you're hands off of him!"
"Ah, ah, ah; interrupting again, Kain-Kun?" Jun said the honorific mockingly as he let his eyes shift to the man and one of his eyebrows arched perfectly in false question. His eyes shifted back to Aido, the boy's head swam with a mixture of feelings that left him practically paralyzed in his spot, leaving himself completely defenseless against the tall pureblood that held him firmly. Jun's finger left Aido's lips and let it slide smoothly down to his chin, tilting his head to the side softly and running his finger down Aido's pale throat, caressing him gently.
Kain's fury raged within him as he clenched his jaw and fists; the urge to attack Jun coursed throughout every vein in his body for touching Aido as he was right now, but the firm grip on his shoulder told him to be wiser and stay seated. Kain glanced to see Kaname's head turned away, his eyes cast downward, but the hard grip never subsided, reminding him there were worse things that Jun could be doing at the moment. Kain felt as if he was a samurai of some sort,; bound by the utmost loyalty to protect his Lord, which in this case was Kaname, from any outside dangers and to listen to his commands. He blamed Takuma for the comparison because of the manga he had made him read, but, he knew entirely that he wasn't this brave warrior. He wanted to lash out to take Aido back, but instead let out a soft, low growl of anger and listened to what Jun had to say, wanting to get Aido back unharmed as quickly as he could.
The growl did not go unnoticed by Jun and he let out a smirk as he repositioned the smaller man, who let out a muffled moan through closed lips as his groin was pressed harder against Jun's thigh. A blush of embarrassment washed over Aido's features as Jun placed his forehead against Aido's and grasped his chin to lift to his face softly. The movements were fluid and Aido couldn't help but grasp onto Jun's shirt as his eyes widened slightly before returning to normal. The blush remained present on his features as he tried to fight the lust that was rapidly building inside of him.
Kain's eyes narrowed as he rose out of his seat, "Damnit Jun! Get your filthy ha-!" But he was cut off as Jun's mouth lowered, threatening to take Aido's lips in a kiss if he dared speak another word. "Kain..." Kaname said gently before reaching out and tugging at the man's arm, directing him to sit back down. Kain listened through he was ready to pounce if Jun tried, or did, anything to Aido.
"Now, Kain, why are you getting so worked up?" Jun asked the question with a hint of seduction, his eyes never leaving Aido's as his hot breath warmed the blonde's lips teasingly. Aido felt his breath hitch as Jun continued. "Why don't you just take a picture? I'm sure this one will be more satisfying; you can see the look of lust better." Jun said as his lips moved downward even more; just one wrong move and his lips would be firmly against Aido's. "That's exactly what you did to Ruka; why should Aido be any different? It'll be more evidence against me, you could send both pictures to the headmaster and the council. Though, I'm sure Ruka and Aido would be expelled as well. But then again, as simple apology for what you would do to Aido would suffice, right? All of the stares and snickers he would receive before he was removed from the school...an apology would just make them all go away; I'm sure." Jun's voice remained calm yet mocking and his eyes held that ever seductive look as they stayed locked onto Aido. "So, why not Kain? You want to get rid of me so badly; come on, you know, deep down, you desire to get more evidence for a stronger case. Take the picture," Jun almost demanded in a way, egging the vampire on for more of a rise out of him while giving him a lesson also.
Kain closed his eyes and lowered his head as he took in a deep breath; trying to calm himself. He didn't want to lose to Jun like this, but it was obvious Jun wasn't afraid to take any of this further. Kain lifted his head and saw Aido's eyes become lazy, losing his grip on reality. Right and wrong was gone from Aido, Jun was pushing against his lust, wanting to confuse the boy.
"I don't want to take a picture...I'm sorry." Said Kain as he looked away in shame. He had to throw his pride away just to make sure Aido remained safe. "I disrespected you...and Ruka. I apologize."
Jun smirked as he continued to stare into Aido's eyes. His stare wasn't something he liked to use and hardly used it's power to his advantage, but paralyzing the boy just slightly was necessary for this moment. "I don't believe you." Said Jun as he placed one hand behind Aido's back and rocked the boy's body closer, forcing a gasp and a small moan to escape him. Aido's face and eyes told the group of men that his instincts were screaming for satisfaction. Kain narrowed his eyes as stood up and replied, "I said sorry! What more do you want?!"
"I want your word you will no longer try to sabotage me and never consider giving that photo to the headmaster or the council." Said Jun as he didn't bother to stare at Kain, his eyes still devoted to Aido. Kain remained silent until he heard Jun break the silence, "Well, if I can't have your word on that, then I can't give you my word that Aido will remain safe on this campus." Jun whispered seductively as he brought his hand back up and began to trace the boy's lips again, enticing him even more.
Aido was lost in Jun's eyes and the lust his body was giving off. Without hesitation, Aido opened his mouth just slightly and began to lick at Jun's two fingers delicately. Kain's eyes widened at the sight. "Aido!" Kain shouted as he went to lean forward, but was stopped by Kaname once again. Kaname held him tightly as Jun smiled down at Aido and replied smoothly, "I don't know why you're so determined to keep the boy away from me. If I didn't know any better...I'd say he likes me." Said Jun before a small chuckle escaped his throat.
Kain felt a stab of immense pain at his heart as Aido continued his small, sensual act. It was a pang of jealousy, anger, confusion and guilt at the entire situation and Jun's words seemed to drive the knife that was in his heart further. Kain just didn't understand why Aido didn't move away, why he directed his lust toward Jun. Right now, all Kain wanted was to get Aido away from the pureblood, his concern and jealousy outweighing his anger. Kain clenched his eyes shut as Aido gave a small moan as Jun let out another chuckle and shifted himself closer to the blonde-haired man, making the smaller vampire's lust grow. Jun was waiting for Kain to finally give his word, determined to get it by any means, Jun allowed the tips of his fingers to enter Aido's mouth. Aido sucked on the fingers gently, the line completely gone as his lust fully overtook his eyes.
"You have my word, Jun..." Kain said softly, his eyes opened but he was turned away from the scene that tore at his heart. Jun heard him,and gave a smirk of victory, but still did not pull his stare away. "What was that Kain? I couldn't understand that incoherent mumbling," Jun stated in slight mocking.
Kain closed his eyes, the anger burning within him, but he pushed it away along with his pride, "You have my word that I will not send the picture to the headmaster or council, Jun-Sama, as well and stopping my quest to sabotage you; in return for Aido's safety..." Kain made sure his tone was humble as he spoke respectfully, trying to slow his racing heart. "Ah, all right, Kain," Jun said as he removed his fingers from Aido's mouth, the boy giving a small whimper. "But make sure that you keep your word; or I will not keep mine."
Jun pulled his eyes away from Aido, releasing him from the entranced state to look at Kain seriously. Kain nodded his head, his heart still throbbing painfully, even as Kaname let go of his shoulder and Jun grasped Aido's waist and moved him off of himself. Once Jun looked away, Aido felt as if he could breathe again, giving small pants as Jun stood with a superior and confident air surrounding him. Aido's senses started to return, that line becoming clear once more in his head as he felt an embarrassment for how far he had stepped over it. It felt like he couldn't help himself...for some reason he was drawn to Jun, though there were no feelings of love. No, those were only for Kain...but then how could he let his lust take such control of him?
"I believe we are done here." Said Jun as he looked at Kain for a moment before walking away from the group and retreating back to his desk. As Jun sat in his chair he glanced over at the group and continued, "Kaname, show them out."
Kaname nodded his head as he walked past Kain and helped Aido off of the couch. "Aido?...Are you okay?" Kaname asked in a low whisper. Aido stood on his feet, still wobbly from what had just happened. He looked at Kaname in confusion and then slowly nodded his head. "Yeah..." He said as his eyes trailed over towards Kain.
The taller blonde looked away from Aido, still hurt at what had happened. Without another word Kain began to walk towards the door. Kaname and Aido followed behind until they reached the doors. Kaname nodded his head towards Aido and had him continued behind Kain, out of the room. As the door shut, Jun looked over at the window, staring at the moon as he spoke sternly.
"He'll regret it if he goes back on his promise. I'll make sure of that."
***
"Kain? Please talk to me..." Aido pleaded as he tried to catch up to Kain's fast paced walk. "I'm sorry...There was something in his eyes. It was as if I couldn't even control myself."
Kain clenched his fists as he stopped; he wasn't sure what his feelings were at the moment. Hurt was clearly evident in his heart, but the rest of his feelings were split in half. Part of him wanted to be angry at Aido, but the other part of him wanted to forgive the boy he, frankly, loved. No matter what part he leaned on more there was, however, the distinct part of Kain where his loathing and disgust of Jun grew tremendously.
Kain tightened his jaw firmly and forgot his surroundings for the moment, focusing on trying to sort out his inner thoughts that were divided and jumbled. He jumped unexpectedly as he felt a light touch to his shoulder, gently bringing him back into focus. The taller vampire turned his head to look at Aido, not needing to search the boys eyes for the evident emotions of regret, concern, sorrow and confusion. "Please Kain..." Aido said as the tears welled up in his eyes. He felt even more emotional at the moment than he had in a long time, his own lack of self discipline was humiliating...but he just couldn't turn away from those eyes..."Say something to me...anything! Tell me you hate me for what I've done...or what I couldn't seem to do...My body felt like it was almost...frozen..." Aido said, picking out the words he used carefully, "But I can't stand it when you won't talk to me... Kain....please...."
Once more Kain stared down at large, pleading blue eyes that begged for his forgiveness. Kain soaked in Aido's words before letting a very small smile slide onto his face, "Don't be stupid, Ai-Chan," Kain said his name affectionately before letting his hand slide up to remove Aido's hand gently and place it in the hand closest to the shorter man, lacing their fingers together before he leaned downward to give Aido a gentle kiss to the forehead, "I could never say I hated you. How may times have I told you that you talk too much?"
Aido couldn't help himself but smile brightly at Kain's gentle words as his tears seemed to disappear all together. He waited for a moment before he allowed Kain to motion to start walking forward. The two walked closely as their hands remained tightly interlaced, a feeling of peace washed over Aido for a moment as he allowed himself to clear his thoughts, knowing that the one person whom he could only truly love was standing next to him.
There was a silence that fell upon the two, but it was a comfortable one where it seemed words were just so...unnecessary. There was still hurt in Kain's heart, as well as anger, but had he not sacrificed any sort of revenge against Jun to protect Aido? He was determined to make sure that Aido was protected, so he couldn't really make any negative action. Besides, Kain, not only having a sharp tongue, had a sharp mind as well. He noticed how Jun had never taken his eyes off of the younger vampire's eyes when they sat, and with Aido's statement that it was like he was in a trance, brought questions to Kain's mind. These, he decided, were going to be saved for Kaname; surely the young pureblood knew something about what had happened.
Kain and Aido were making their way to their room until Kain came to an abrupt stop and sniffed the air a few times before looking around in question. "Kain?" Aido asked as Kain let go of the smaller boy before glancing down at his cousin. "Do you smell that?" Asked Kain as Aido sniffed the air a few times.
Aido shook his head before asking, "I don't smell anything...What do you smell?"
Kain took one more sniff before speaking in a worried tone. "Human."
