Blood Lus†: Chap†er †wo
Jus† Spending some quali†y †ime wi†h †he Vampires
Bit awoke the next morning at what his stolen watch read 11:49 AM. He was awoken by the fact that he was starving. He got up as Moro stared at him, wagging her tail, tongue lolling happily. He smiled and put a finger to his lips, giving her a scratch behind the ears. The golden haired teen stepped over the vampire who looked dead to the world--even moreso than he should have, his pale shoulders rising and falling with each breath, his long hair falling into his closed eyes. He grinned to no one but Moro and Lír, who'd awoken as well, and admired his sleeping form until another rumbled sounded from his stomach.
The teen foraged around in the small kitchen area and found a box of cookies, half eaten. He finished them off and was still starving. He sat on the couch with Lír and Moro, waiting for someone else to arise from their slumbers. A half-an-hour later Brad stumbled in with a yawn, looking still half-asleep, tousled and almost dazed.
/He looks so cute!/ Bit thought smiling. "Good Morning, Brad!" He said cheerily.
The Vampire merely grunted in acknowledgement, fishing out a pack of cigarettes and lit up. He moved to an old looking coffee maker and turned it on, letting out a cloud of smoke as he did.
"I'm hungry." Bit stated as he groaned.
"I loathe babysitting." He mumbled, digging around and tossed him a candy bar.
"Thank you!" He said, munching happily as Brad smiled slightly, tapping off the ashes.
"I'll take you shopping later for real food."
"Okay." He said as Brad poured himself a cup of straight black coffee, pouring some of the contents of a liquor bottle, one of many on the counter, into it.

Bit sat with Leena and Naomi, the two females had stayed behind since Leena was too weak to hunt again, and Naomi was taking care of her, and protecting Bit along the way. Jack and Brad were out hunting for the night. Naomi picked up another mango slice from the plate and popped it into her mouth, licking her fingers clean. Leena was painting her nails, while humming some song Bit couldn't recognize.
"What's with the sweet foods, you're always eating sweet stuff, like candy bars and chocolate and sugary fruit, why?" He asked, picking up an apple wedge. Naomi shrugged.
"Why do humans eat junk food? It tastes good. That and we get sugar highs like you wouldn't believe, and we don't come down as hard. Y'know, like how you're always so drained after eating lots of sweets? That, we don't get." She said, swatting Moro's wagging tail away from her face.
"Oh. Gotcha."
He waited, gathering his courage.
"Can I ask another question? How did you become Vampires?"
Naomi tensed and Leena smiled, stroking the other female's inner thigh.
"Naomi." She said simply as Bit's eyes went wide.
"Huh?"
"I wanted her to. I want to be with her forever, and this is the path I chose."
The red head had a guilty look on her face and she wrapped her arms around the other's hips.
"Oh." He paused. "How…"
"How Did I?" Her voice was soft and slightly rough sounding. "Quite some time ago, I was raped and the man who did it, was a vampire, and he transformed me…"
"I-I'm sorry." Bit said sadly as Leena tilted up her lover's chin and placed a kiss on her full black lips. His curiosity gnawed at him and he couldn't stop. "What's it like to be a vampire?"
Leena answered.
"Not much different than being human. You are still 'alive', you can move freely, though bright sunlight is bad if you aren't, since your senses are heightened and all. Garlic smells like garlic but ten times stronger, when you don't feed you get weak." She said painting another nail.
"Why do you get weak?"
"Well, When you become a Vampire, all the blood is drained from your body, before you die. When a Vampire drains you, there's some agent that somehow triggers the 'reawakening'. The first thing you need to do when you wake is feed, and you'll still be extremely weak, barely able to move. The purpose is to refill your body with blood, along with dull the extreme hunger. You need to feed regularly for almost a year to gain a cycle, where blood flow will then become a natural function again. But, here, in the Hunter Clan, we try and kill as little as we can. Therefore food is scarce."
"But, why not animal blood?"
"We've tried, and my father is a scientist and experimented with us and found that it doesn't have the right proportions, of iron and other minerals."
"Oh. The Hunter Clan?"
"What we call ourselves." Naomi put in, shifting onto her back, her head resting on Leena's thigh.
"Why? What's the significance?"
"We are a group who takes jobs, from clients for cash or food. Almost like bounty hunters, or mercenaries." The red head replied, picking more holes in her fishnet stockings.
"Oh, Hunter? That's Brad's last name, right?" They Nodded. "So, he's your leader?"
Naomi nodded again. "He is also the oldest."
"Really? When did he die?" Bit asked wondering just how old the handsome Vampire was.
"He was a Pagan , during the Salem Witch Trials, his whole family was, he still is, but he was the only one that got caught. They were to burn him at the stake the next morn, but another cellmate got him and turned him before they did."
"THAT LONG AGO!?" Bit exclaimed remembering back to those ancient, history books he studied from before he dropped out of school. Another nod. "Whoa."
Leena gave a devious smile.
"He really likes you, Bit. I've never seen him like this, have you Nomie, sweetheart?"
"Never. In all I've known him. Brad can be quite antisocial and grim. I've only seen him smile a few times, and he does all the time with you." She gave a cat-like smirk. "And besides that, you've touched him a million times, normally any human that did so would have a broken bone or two."
Bit could feel himself blush.
"I'm sure he was just doing that because you're getting paid to protect me."
"Nuh uh!" Leena giggled as he blushed a tad more and smiled.
"Well, good then. He's absolutely amazing."

Brad lay on his bed, eyes closed as Bit stood at the foot. He sat down, facing Brad, resting his chin on his knees. He opened one eye.
"Yes?" He understood where this was going and separated his knees slightly , letting Bit slide forward as he hovered over his chest. Bit smiled and licked his lips, pushing forward slightly and softly kissed down the vampires throat, hearing him purr softly. He gently pushed up his shirt and kissed his exposed abdomen, then kissing down the front of his pants, getting a pleased, quiet moan. He sat up and pulled his own shirt up, dangling it in front of Brad.
"One thing."
"Mmm?"
"No biting." He grinned as Brad snatched away the shirt and pulled him down, gently.
———— † ————
Bit got back from shopping with Naomi and put away the items and retired to Brad and his room.
The Vampire lay curled up on the bed, in an almost fetal position.
"Brad? What's wrong?" He asked curling up next to him as he pulled away.
"N-nothing." He said softly as Bit gently forced him onto his back and sat atop his chest.
"What's wrong?" He repeated as the Vampire pushed his hands against his thighs telling him to get off.
"I….I just haven't fed that's all, okay? I'm tired…" He said as Bit stroked his cheek.
"But you all hunted yesterday."
"Yes, but there wasn't enough so I gave up my share for Leena." Brad admitted as his partner bit on his lip and got up as Brad rolled over.
He took the dagger from Brad's desk and took off his shirt, moving back to the bed. The brunette gave a slight glance over his shoulder and saw him cut a gash in his stomach.
"W-What are you doing!?" He breathed, obviously fighting instinct.
"Here." he said holding out his hand to the wound. He rolled back over and covered his mouth and nose, squeezing his eyes shut. "Why are you covering your nose, I thought it was 'hear no evil' not smell," He laughed shortly as Brad groaned.
"I told you! You can't bleed around here! Go patch that up, NOW!"
"It's for you. Drink up."
"Bit, you idiot…" He sounded like he was in pain.
"C'mon."
"Bit. If I start, I won't be able to stop." The brunette moaned almost as Bit shushed him and held his fingers to hid lips.
"Yes you will, and if you don't, I'll beat you off with a stick." He laughed huskily into his ear, nibbling it softly. "Besides. I know another way to make you stop." He pressed his hips into Brad and received a different toned moan. "Now, drink. It's going to waste."
Reluctantly the Vampire licked his fingers clean and straddled his thighs, bending to the cut, lapping up the blood that rose in pools and beads of ruby, while pushing his hands up Bit's thighs, hips, and chest. The golden haired teen purred and stroked his arms and strong shoulders. After a few minutes the long haired brunette half-collapsed on him, after closing the wound, resting his cheek on his torso and his arms around his shoulders, breathing deeply. Bit smiled and played with his hair.
"I love you." he said barely over a whisper, so softly he couldn't hear.
"Hm?" The blonde asked as he shook his head as if to say nothing…
———†———
Two soldiers marched up to the large desk occupied by a graying man in the chair behind it.
"Report." He said roughly, impatient.
"The thief is still with the Vampires…It has been confirmed that he has become quite close with the leader, Hunter. And the other way around. We have finally targeted their lair. When they leave to feed we will penetrate their defenses and recover the rogue."
"Good. Put this into effect as soon as possible."
"Yes sir!"

Hello all! Sorry that took so long. School's a bitch. But I have two great English teachers this year so that's good and I won't be ranting that "they don't under stand 'my genius', Damnit!" Hehe. I hate art this year though. I like to draw but I don't give a flying fuck how it's made. I know all that! Okay Anyone else completely miffed about the no more NC-17 rated stories? I AM!!! It's our fucking freedom of speech! And now we'll like just Rate them R or I will if I ever post any. So they were safer with that rating. It was a CYA (cover your ass) bid! Pfft. Well, I'm one happy little cat girl. I gotst someone new. *hugs to her*
Much better than my ex. She has a vocabulary, unlike Kara and has a great personality. I'm so lucky!! ^///^ *hugs*
Oh! I want to thank all my reviewers. ShadowWolf? You rock! * hamster dance* Dragon Winlan--- I'm working on putting Harry in, don't worry. It'll probably be a comedic relief thing since the first idea fizzled out. But then you may have some hope for a HarryxLeena coz vampires= group orgies basically. ^///^ . Lina the Outlawed Bomber-- you rock and I can't wait for more of your fic, even if you just mail it. As long as I get to read it ^_^. Everyone else who's usernames I remember but am fearful I will butcher, Gomen ne. I give equal amounts of thanks as well!
Yare! Mata ne!
Naomi Hun†er.
