A/N: Couldn't get this out of my head. I just watched The Forsaken and felt the need to write a vampire fic. Anyways, this is Matt, Tai, and Daisuke, with a lil' appearance from Ken. They mention Takeru's name once. It has a little Yamasuke, Taito, and Taisuke. Dai kisses Ken once, does that count for Daiken? Oh well, just read it. Oh, and leave a review, please?
Warnings: A teeny bit of cursing, mentions sex, and Daisuke getting a lil' horny. Um, yaoi. I think that's it. This is an AU, though that's probably obvious, since the boys aren't vampires in the show. Or are they? **creepy music**
Disclaimer: I don't own Matt, Tai, Daisuke, Ken, or Takeru. I do own Sirius, Rufus, Cyrus, and the unnamed guy from Fang. I don't own Digimon either, though it really isn't mentioned.
Southside Vampires
"Matt," the voice whispered in the dark room. The owner of the voice shook his sleeping friend's shoulders. "Matt, get up."
The blonde boy groaned and slowly turned his head to look at the spiky-haired redhead next to him on the bed. "What?" he asked groggily.
"The sun went down over an hour ago. It's time to get out of bed. I want to have some fun."
Matt groaned and turned back around. "Make Tai go with you."
"He already went out somewhere. Please, Matt, get out of bed."
Matt growled into his pillow and reluctantly sat up, running a hand through his hair. "I'm going to kill Tai for going out alone," he muttered as he slowly stood. "The dumbass never listens, though. No, has to have it his way."
He muttered to himself as he went into the bathroom to fix his hair. He glanced up into the mirror and grinned to himself, seeing nothing at all. He lifted his brush and began to brush his hair, imagining what he hoped he looked like.
His redhead friend glanced at him from the doorway, grinning. "Why do you still do that?"
"Do what?" Matt asked, setting the brush down and running a hand through his hair again.
"Look into that mirror and pretend you can still see your reflection. Why do you bother brushing your hair? Even with it messy, you could get anyone into bed."
Matt grunted in response and slowly walked back into his room to pull a shirt on. As he felt around under the blankets on the floor he found what he was looking for and pulled a black shirt from under it. As he put the shirt over his arms and got ready to pull it over his head he felt his friend's arms sneak their way around his waist to his chest.
"Do you have to put a shirt on? You look so good without one," the voice purred at him.
"Daisuke, stop it," Matt replied, removing the hands from his chest and pulling his shirt on all the way.
Daisuke growled at him before turning and stalking off towards the door. "Hurry up."
Matt rolled his eyes and followed him to the door, slipping his feet into his combat boots on the way out. He grabbed his coat from the coat hanger in the hallway and slipped it on, the long black leather sweeping over the floor around his feet. "Ready."
Daisuke turned and opened the door, stepping outside and walking down the stairs two at a time. Matt closed the door behind him and leapt off of the stairs, landing as smoothly as a cat and walking like one also. He quickened his pace slightly to walk beside Daisuke and shoved his hands into his pocket. Daisuke glanced towards him, fingering his black dog collar and grinning, exposing the tips of white, pearly fangs.
"You're so sexy, Matt."
"Daisuke, shut up. I'm not in the mood."
"And so vicious. I wish I could tear you up right now." Daisuke slid his tongue out of his mouth and waggled it at Matt, ducking under his punch.
He laughed and held his stomach. "Calm down, Matt. What's with you, anyways? You know I like to tease you, but you never usually get so worked up about it." His expression turned serious. "What is it?"
Matt looked away from him, not wanting to look into those dead eyes. Those eyes were all he saw in everyone around him. Dead, lifeless, uncaring. So unlike the eyes he used to look into, a long time ago.
"I'm just pissed that Tai left the house without telling anyone. He knows better than to wander the streets alone. He could get jumped."
"Aw, Tai could hold out against most of the vampires around here. There isn't too many that reach our level, you know. That's why we moved out here, to get away from all those other strong ones back in the old neighborhood."
"I know, but just in case."
Daisuke smiled slightly and looked forward towards the lights of the city they were approaching. "You care about him a lot, don't you?"
Matt caught the tinge of jealousy in his voice and looked towards him. "Oh come on, Dai. You know as well as I do that if you were the one out alone without me and Tai I'd be just as worried about you and bitching to Tai about it."
Daisuke looked up at him and smiled. "Yeah, I know."
They finally reached the downtown part of the city, where the lights were brighter to their kind and much dimmer to the normal humans. This part of town was reserved for the vampires that lived around where they did. Sometimes a vampire from a rival clan wandered in and it was up to the highest vampires there to get rid of them. If a human found his or her way down there, they'd be killed on sight. That was just the way it was.
They walked towards the local vampire club and slipped inside, immediately surrounded by thumping music and pale, beautiful people. There were a few that looked more colored than the ones around them, and those were usually surrounded by vampires, all taking turns playing with them. Those were usually drunk humans. Sure enough, in a few seconds they could hear screaming and a struggle, and Matt glanced towards the back where one body was covered with three others, who were trying to hold the frightened girl in place as they drained her.
"Hey, look, there's Tai," he heard Daisuke say, and his eyes shot forward towards where he was pointing, towards a corner of the room. Tai had himself surrounded by vampire females, and he was casually licking the blood from an older looking woman's neck.
Matt grumbled and stalked towards him. A few of the other vampires got out of his and Daisuke's way, recognizing them from other visits. He stopped in front of the table.
"Tai, I can't believe you," he growled, his fists clenching.
Tai looked up from the giggling girl and carefully eyed the angry blonde. He looked towards the girls and grinned, saying, "Excuse me."
He slid out of the booth and walked up to Matt, looking him in the eye and smiling. "Can't believe me how, Yamato?" he asked, walking past him and slipping his arms around Daisuke's waist.
Daisuke grinned and began kissing him, while Tai brought one hand under Daisuke's shirt and began feeling up his back.
Matt yanked him away and Daisuke groaned in protest. He spun Tai around and glared at him, head bowed and eyes narrowed, looking up through locks of his hair. "Don't ever, ever do that again, Tai. I mean it. I was worried sick about you."
Tai grinned lopsidedly and looked around the club. "Do what, Matt?"
"Go off on your own like that. If you ever want to go anywhere, just ask Daisuke or me and we'll happily go along with you, okay? Daisuke wanted to go out, anyways."
"And you? Would you just stay home and wait around for us?"
"I was sleeping. Happily sleeping. I wanted to continue sleeping, but I heard you were out and I had to come and find you to make sure you hadn't been killed or anything."
"Well, I'm sorry, then. I won't go out alone again, okay? Can I go have fun now?"
Matt narrowed his eyes even further, and Daisuke had to look away to avoid seeing the fury and anger inside of them. Tai bravely continued to look into Matt's eyes, having dealt with seeing him like this far more than Daisuke. Daisuke usually obeyed Matt, being somewhat afraid of the boy, but Tai absolutely hated to be told what to do and enjoyed making the blonde angry.
"Don't try to be a badass, Taichi. If I catch you sneaking out alone..."
"You'll what?" Tai sneered.
"You'll see. You'll see if you do it again."
Tai backed away, tilted his head down and grinning even wider. "I can't wait, Matt."
He turned and began walking through the club, quickly getting lost in the crowd. Matt turned to look at Daisuke, who instantly looked down at the floor. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. He reached an arm out to Daisuke and beckoned him to come near. Daisuke hesitantly stepped forward and let Matt put his arm around him. "I'm just a little cranky, that's all. Let's go have some fun, okay?" Matt smiled at the boy and he relaxed.
They made their way towards the bar. The bartender, a fairly newly turned vampire named Ken, walked over to them as they sat down. He knew them because he was living with Takeru, Matt's younger brother. "Hey Matt, hey Daisuke," he greeted, cleaning a glass and flashing them a grin. He winked at Daisuke and Daisuke leaned forward over the bar table, grabbing Ken's shirt and pulling him forward for a kiss. Ken kissed him back and then pulled back.
"That isn't buying you a free drink, Daisuke," Ken warned him.
"Of course not," the redhead replied smoothly, smiling.
Matt watched the exchange in mild amusement. He slowly reached into the pocket of his coat and brought out a wad of bills. He threw them towards Ken and muttered, "Get us two glasses. And you better assure us free refills, Ken."
Money didn't really mean anything to vampires, but it wasn't a secret that Ken loved collecting comic books. It was the one thing from the human world that he loved, so he gladly accepted any money he made as the bartender of that club. Any vampire could get a load of money, since it was so easy to take money from humans they drained.
Ken snatched the money from the table and stuffed it into his pocket, quickly grabbing two glasses and filling them with a dark red liquid. He slid them over to the pair and they took their respective drinks and took sips, looking around the club.
Taichi was no longer anywhere in sight. He had probably disappeared into a back room with a few of the girls he was with, and was no doubt having a bit of fun with them. Suddenly, a song that Matt liked came out and Matt turned to Daisuke. "Care to dance?"
Daisuke shrugged a shoulder and nodded. "Sure."
He took Matt's hand and let the blonde lead him out onto the dance floor, watching as Matt spun around to face him and carefully following Matt's lead. He watched Matt's body move in a very catlike manner and licked his lips, moving in closer so he could feel Matt's body against his as they danced. Matt smiled and put his arms loosely around Daisuke's waist.
They moved together in a fast, sensuous dance, grinding against each other's bodies. Matt closed his eyes and tilted his head to the side as Daisuke leaned forward to lick at his neck. He felt Daisuke begin to nibble on it and growled when Daisuke slid his fangs into the soft skin. He placed a hand at the back of Daisuke's head and opened his eyes slightly, his vision becoming redder and more blurred at the edges. He let Daisuke drink from him a while longer until it became too blurry and he pushed him away before he could lose control. Daisuke breathed heavy and licked the blood from his lips and teeth.
Matt carefully reached up to tilt the redhead's neck to the side. Daisuke's flesh was much paler now that he was a vampire, though not as deathly white as Matt's own skin. He gently began sucking at a bite he created in his neck and heard Daisuke moan his name as he pulled him closer. He gripped one of Daisuke's wrists and stroked it, feeling his veins throbbing just beneath his skin.
He felt Daisuke push him away and reached up to wipe his mouth off, licking his hand and eyeing Daisuke as he wiped at his own neck and felt the wound closing up and healing. He wiped the blood off and licked his hand again. He grabbed Daisuke's wrist and pulled him off of the dance floor.
"Come on," he yelled over the noise of the music. "Let's go find us some more action."
~ ~ ~ ~
An hour later, Matt found himself pulling his shirt back on after a long lovemaking session with Daisuke, another vampire boy, and a pretty young vampire girl that they had found at the bar. Daisuke leaned against the door, arms folded and foot back against the wood. He watched as Yamato stood up, pulling his coat back on. The vampire boy walked to the door and turned to give Daisuke a long parting kiss. The girl had left minutes before.
Daisuke turned to watch the young white-haired boy weaving his way back through the crowd and glanced towards Matt again. Matt walked towards him and grinned, his eyes glinting. Daisuke grinned back and turned to walk out the door, Matt close behind. He shut the door and turned to him.
"So Matt, how do you rate those two?"
"The boy was great, but the girl wasn't turning me on as much. I'd rate the boy a seven, and the girl a four."
"Oh, gosh, I simply loved the boy. I'd give him a nine. The girl was obviously inexperienced. She couldn't even give a proper blowjob."
Matt's eyes went slightly wide, as if to say, "Don't remind me."
Daisuke laughed. "Anyways, she gets a three from me. And how do I rate, my dear?"
Yamato slid his arm around the boy's rate. He kissed him and smiled. "You, love, receive a ten. After all, you're used to sleeping with me, so you know exactly how to handle me."
"Ah, of course," Daisuke smirked, "I know how to tame the wild beast."
"Oh, go on," Matt replied, smirking back.
They suddenly stopped in their tracks, looking up at Tai, who had walked up to them.
"Where have you two been?" he asked, hands on his hips.
"Getting us a little action. You weren't around to enjoy it, though, too bad. We could have used you in there."
"I was looking for you two," Taichi snarled at Yamato, and the blonde boy held his hands up as if in defense.
"Hey, sorry. We thought you were doing your own thing."
"I got into a fight."
Daisuke's eyes widened and he instantly glanced over Taichi's shoulder, as if awaiting a vampire to sneak up and attack them. Yamato rubbed the side of his head and his eyes.
"Who was it this time?"
"It was one of those jerks from the north part of the city. One of those damned Fangs."
Matt looked up at him, shocked. "Tai, please don't tell me you messed with a Fang."
"I just did, Matt. Look, don't worry, I beat him good and he went running back to his part of town."
"Tai, you should have walked away and reported him. One of the stronger vampires could have gotten rid of him."
"Well, I did the job for them."
"They aren't going to be very happy about this."
"Who? The Fangs or one of the higher of our clan?"
"Both of them! God, Tai, don't you ever think before you act? Wait, don't answer that." Matt raked a hand through his hair again. "Now they're going to be on our asses. Did he get a good look at you?"
"I was fighting him, Matt. Of course he did."
"Well, did he recognize you?"
"Obviously not, since he fought me. He was a lot weaker than I expected one of the Fangs to be."
"He must have been a new one. Let's go report him right now, and the elder vampires will take care of that business. Chances are they won't find out it was you and if they send more over here for revenge, the elders will be ready for them."
"Why can't we just go home and forget about this?"
"Because they *will* attack us again, you know they will. They jump at the chance for any sort of revenge. That's why they go looking for trouble, Tai."
Tai sighed. "Alright, alright, let's go report him."
Matt walked past him, muttering, "What was a Fang doing way down here in the Southside part of town, anyway?"
Tai grumbled to himself as he followed Matt and a shaken-looking Daisuke out of the building. They walked on down the streets, keeping close and watching out for themselves. They went to the center of their part of the city and reached a large building that no normal human would think twice about. They walked towards the place, passing by a few young looking vampires sitting outside and throwing rocks against trash cans, setting cats on fire, and leering at the three boys.
Matt and Tai easily ignored them, but Daisuke glanced up once at a boy with shockingly red, messy hair, with one blue eye and one green. The kid hissed at him so he looked forward again and stepped into the building.
He doubled his steps to catch up to the other two and followed them all the way to what looked like an old office. Matt knocked on the door and waited until he heard a voice from inside ask, "Who is it?"
"It's Matt, Tai, and Daisuke," he called through the door.
He heard a little bit of moving around from inside and heard the voice call, "Come in!"
He opened the door and slowly peeked into the room, his eyes falling on the raven-haired vampire sitting in the seat behind the old, rotting desk. The vampire waved them in and they entered, one after the other, and Tai and Matt took seats while Daisuke sat by Matt's feet on the floor.
"What did you boys do this time?" the vampire asked tiredly.
Matt shot Tai a look and Tai sighed, looking forward. "I ran into a Fang just outside Ken's club. We got into a little fight and he ran off."
The man in the chair leaned forward and sighed loudly, rubbing his temples. He looked at Matt. "Aren't you the eldest?"
Matt nodded slowly.
"Can't you keep him under control?" he asked, exasperated.
Matt smiled slightly. "I try. He snuck out earlier than I awoke today, and I was pissed at him so I didn't watch him while I was at the club."
"Well watch him better from now on, alright? I thought I told you that the last time you brought him in with a problem. And the time before that, and the time before that. Do I have to continue?"
Matt shook his head. "No, sir."
"I'll see what I can do about the Fangs. You boys can go now, and don't worry, all will be taken care of, as usual, whenever you three get into trouble. Or at least one of you," he added dryly, eyeing Tai, who defiantly looked back at him, eyes narrowed.
"Thank you, sir," Matt answered, bowing his head, and he stood and began walking towards the door. Daisuke immediately stood and followed him out, and eventually Tai rose from his seat and broke his piercing gaze with the elder vampire to turn and walk out. After they exited, the elder vampire called another vampire into his office.
The other vampire leaned against the doorway, smiling slightly. "Yes, Sirius?"
Sirius rubbed his temples again and gestured for the other vampire to sit. He slowly crossed the room and sat in a chair, facing the other and grinning. "The boys giving you a hard time again?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Do you remember when we used to go around getting into trouble like them?"
"How could I forget? Those were memorable years. Ah, but a hundred more years passed, and soon we became what we are now. The elder vampires taking care of our wonderful part of the city."
"Do you think they will be good after we go?"
"Matt will be excellent in taking my place, I'm sure. Tai will be the best at 'taking out the trash', as Rufus calls it. Rufus loves his job at getting rid of invading enemies, especially the Fang clan. And dear Daisuke will be taking your place, running errands for Matt and helping in his decisions about what to do about the problems in our part of the city, the way you help me, Cyrus."
"I never did like being the leader in anything. I very much like following you. And Rufus is his own boss, which is just what Tai needs, I'm sure."
Sirius smiled gently at Cyrus and looked out the window. "It won't be too long now. We'll be voted out in the election, and we'll have to make sure those three get the jobs."
The door swung open again and Rufus poked his head in irritably. "What do you want, Sirius?"
"There was a Fang intruding in our territory. I'm sure you'll enjoy taking care of that, Rufus?"
Rufus grinned and slammed the door shut, his figure moving from behind the door and to his own office, probably to shove guns and knives into his pockets.
Sirius sighed. "I do pity Matt, having to live with those two now. Not that I hated living with you two before, but I quite like having my own house all to my own. No one to dig up my garden or accidentally burn my clothes while ironing."
"So I was horrible with an iron," Cyrus calmly dismissed the remark, waving his hand. "Doesn't say anything about me."
Sirius laughed and rolled his eyes.
~ ~ ~ ~
Matt shuffled his feet as he went into his bedroom and collapsed onto his bed. There was two hours left before sunrise, and he wanted to sleep for a long, long time. He curled his body around his blankets and sighed to himself, nuzzling his pillow and taking a deep breath. He was just about to nod off when he heard a bang and what sounded like a cat howling.
"Matt!" he heard Daisuke yell. "Tai tried to fry the cat in the oven again and it's a mess!"
Matt groaned and cracked an eye open. He slowly slid out of bed and fell onto the floor, rolling to his feet and dragging himself out of his bedroom to the kitchen.
"Starting next month," he muttered to himself, "I'm going to move out and go live with Ken and Takeru or something."
He peered into the kitchen, where Daisuke was chasing Taichi around and around the table. He leaned against the doorway and smiled to himself as he watched Daisuke leap over the top of the table and Taichi fly back, laughing and sneering at the poor boy. Daisuke landed on his head on the other side and Tai scrambled out of his reach. Daisuke slowly stood and rubbed his head, moaning in pain. Tai walked over to the young boy and gently touched the bump on his head as he kissed the boy's cheek.
"Sorry, Dai," he apologized, ruffling his hair gently. "Didn't mean to make you fall."
"Yes you did," Daisuke mumbled mournfully, and Tai merely grinned.
"Or maybe I should stay with them," he said under his breath, to himself, smiling. "I think they need me around here to keep things in order."
He slowly began walking towards them and enveloped them both in a hug. He kissed them both square on the lips, said, "I love you guys," and walked on towards the TV, plopping down on a couch and turning it on.
Daisuke and Tai stared after him, bewildered.
"He's high again, he's got to be," Tai said, raising an eyebrow, and Daisuke continued to rub the bump on his head and mumble that the world was against him somehow.
Matt watched the TV and smiled gently to himself. "Yeah, I'm definitely staying around, at least for another couple hundred years. They seriously need me. And I mean *seriously*."
~ ~ ~ ~
A/N: Well, there it is. I don't know if I want to continue this or not. I could easily leave it to be a one-shot...what do you all think? I won't continue this if you guys don't review and ask me to. All you have to do is ask, you know. Anyways, just wanted to write a vampire fic. It's three in the morning now, so I'm going to bed. 'Night!
