Chapter 5
"I hate him. I wish I could eat humans without the consequences." Jina said, Sally wrapped and arm around the angry vampire trying to calm her down. Jina and Heero hadn't stopped fighting ever since they'd met, and Sally knew it was love at first sight.
"Calm down Jin. You know how men can be. Heero's just being a dick." Hilde said sitting beside her.
"I just want to kill him; bite his head off. I could and no one would ever know. You all wouldn't have to tell." Jin quipped. Sally and Hilde smiled at her, the girl vamp was hilarious when she was angry.
"Really Jin, I can think of then thousand other things you can do with your mouth other than feed on him." Hilde said smiling. Jina snarled at the raven-haired girl.
"You're a sick girl, Hilde." Sally said, a smile on her face from the joke.
"You know you like him. You'd do him if you had the chance. I mean really, there are five of them and five of us. Trowa and Roddy are a given, I don't see why we can't have a little fun while we're at it." Hilde chuckled.
"Because, they are vampire hunters and we are their prey. They'd kill us before they'd sleep with us." Jin growled again.
"I don't think I've ever seen you this completely infatuated before, Jina. I'm proud of you." Hilde said receiving another snarl from the already upset vampire.
"I am not infatuated with him!" Jin said.
"Whatever. Like I was saying, there are five of them and five of us." Hilde reinstated her first point.
"Wufei is kind of cute, and I haven't gotten any in a long time." Sally said.
"I knew it, that's great now all I need is Jin and Catherine. Where is Catherine anyway?" Hilde asked.
"She went to go see if Trowa was okay in there with Roddy." Sally said. As soon as that was said, Catherine walked through the door with a rather large smile on her face.
"What are you so happy about?" Jina asked.
"I pinched Blondie's ass." Catherine smiled giddily.
"What did he do?" Sally asked.
"Blush." Catherine giggled again.
"See, everyone is admitting their infatuations Jin. It's obvious that you and Heero have got it bad for one another." Hilde joked.
"This is ridiculous."
"What's ridiculous is that you two are pining for one another. The sexual tension is so strong between you two that it's killing us, and we've only known those guys for a couple of hours." Catherine said.
"Catherine, the sexual tension between you and Quatre is killing me. If you want him, why don't you stop teasing him and take him to your bed right now?" Jina said as a challenge. Catherine stared at the other woman accepting the challenge with her eyes.
"Fine. I will." Catherine got up from her seat on the bed and walked out of the room with the rest of the girls following her. She waltzed into the room, all of the women (especially Jin) noticing that Heero wasn't present, and walked quietly up to Quatre who was reading a book. She didn't say anything as she made her attack. She only sensually bent down behind him and whispered something inaudible into his ear. The blonde blushed and instantly dropped his book taking her hand as she led him into her room. Cathy smiled at Jin as she walked towards her room.
"Poor Quatre doesn't know what he's in for." Hilde said smiling.
"Or maybe Catherine has gotten herself in too deep." Duo's baritone rose behind her. Hilde turned and smiled at him.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, coyly twirling her hair.
"Nothing. I just think that Quatre is going to give Catherine the ride of her life that's all. It's always the quiet ones." Duo smiled.
"Well, you're far from quiet, what does that make you?" Hilde smiled seductively. Duo leaned in close to her ear and whispered into it.
"Why don't you let me show you?" Hilde shuddered at the suggestive tone in his voice and took his hand to lead him to her room.
"Look at us, we're just a bunch of horny, thousand-year-old women." Sally said shaking her head at Hilde and Duo entering the shadow.
"I can't watch this debauchery, I'm going outside on the balcony." Jina said, leaving Sally alone in a room with Wufei.
Sally looked at Wufei who pretended to be interested in something on the television. She knew he was feigning interest because all he'd be interested in lately was her. She couldn't lie to herself, she'd noticed the Chinese man the first day she'd seen him. She liked the way his coal-colored hair flowed to his shoulders and the way his golden skin contrasted the black, leather attire. He was attractive, she wouldn't lie about that, but to get him into her bed was another story. Morals sucked, and this one Chinaman had plenty of them. Maybe she could break some of that righteousness.
She walked over to the couch where he was sitting and sat as far away as possible. She knew the type; playing hard-to-get was a good plan. She stared at the TV and said nothing; he said nothing as well. It was only when she decided to fiddle with the magazine on the coffee table that he got annoyed and finally said something to her.
"Onna, will you cease, I'm trying to watch this program and I can't hear it over that incessant paper rattling." Wufei said, looking over at her.
"I'm sorry." Sally said, smiling inwardly. She didn't say anything.
"Do I smell, onna?" Wufei asked. Sally looked at him with a strange look.
"No, why?" Sally said.
"How would you know, onna, you're sitting so far away?" Wufei said again. Sally laughed at him and scooted over a bit closer, but not close enough to touch.
"You don't smell Wufei." Sally said and continued to pretend to be interested in her magazine. Again Wufei turned his attention to the TV.
"Onna, will you quit turning the pages so loudly?!" Wufei said again.
"I could leave if I'm bothering you." Sally said, looking the Chinese man in his black eyes.
"No, just keep it down." Wufei said.
"Okay, I'll try." Sally rolled her eyes and continued to feign interest in the article.
"What is the article about?" Wufei asked.
"The American vs. the Japanese economy, very interesting." She said, not lifting her head from the magazine. In a swift motion, Wufei took the magazine from her hands and threw it behind him.
"Wufei…" Sally was cut off by a kiss.
"You weren't really interested in that stupid article were you Sally?" he said after breaking the kiss. She shook her head.
"Good, because I wasn't interested in that TV program either."
"I know." She said and kissed him again.

Jina was tired of being in the house. The horniness of her friends was getting on her nerves and she needed some time to think about Heero. Never had a man made her so angry before. She cursed herself mentally for letting the bloodlust get in the way of her senses. Or was that really the reason why she tried to seduce him? She shook all thoughts of him from her mind and stepped out on the large balcony. The sun would be rising soon so she wouldn't be out there for long.
She closed her eyes and took in the scent of twilight, then a familiar scent of human blood.
"Isn't it funny that we should meet again on this same balcony?" she heard Heero say from somewhere in the shadows. Why hadn't she noticed that he was sitting there?
"I thought you'd left." She said.
"So, you noticed that I was gone?" She could hear that he slurred his words. He must have been drinking while he had been out there. Yes, she could smell the faint scent of alcohol mingling with his distinctive male aroma.
"Heero, I don't feel like arguing, so if you're going to pick a fight…" she couldn't finish the sentence. He rushed her and plunged their lips together in a passionate kiss.
"I'm sorry about earlier tonight. I didn't realize what you wanted to give me." Heero said, a drunken smile plastered on his face. Jina pushed him away from her with strong force.
"What I wanted to give to you?" she snarled.
"Yes, I didn't mean to push you away." Heero said and stumbled backwards.
"You're drunk Heero, I think you should sit down." She pushed him back into a lounge chair on the balcony.
"Do you want a drink?" Heero asked holding up the bottle of Captain Morgan, " No, I suppose you wouldn't, being a vampire and all."
"That's always the problem with you mortals, isn't it? You are so vain that you can't see past your own nose when it comes to passion and love and desire." Jina said, she was getting annoyed with his drunken state.
"Or bloodlust. Tell me Jina, what does it taste like?" Heero asked, looking at her with clear, blue eyes.
"Whatever you want it to."
"You're holding out on me." Heero said.
"I don't want to talk about my feeding habits…" she said, stopping the sentence before they got into another argument.
"Then what do you want to talk about? How about sex? Because it's obviously been a long time since you've gotten laid." Heero said, a drunken snort coming from his nose.
"I don't talk about such matters with men. It's not ladylike." She said.
"Bullshit! You're just wound too tight. There is plenty of passion that is ready to burst from you. You're in desperate need of a good humping."
"You're a bastard." Jina snarled at him and started to get up. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into another kiss. This time he rolled his tongue over her lips and into her mouth. She surrendered, but only a little bit.
"Am I still a bastard?" Heero asked.
"Yeah." She replied and pushed him away from her. The night air was chilled and she could see the golden light from the sun creeping in over the horizon. She decided that it was time for her to get some sleep so she began to walk back into the loft.
"Why don't you like what you are?" Heero asked her. She stopped in her tracks.
"What is that supposed to mean?" she glared at him.
"Why don't you like being a vampire?" Heero asked again.
"Who said that I don't like being a vampire?" Jina said.
"Just answer the question." Heero ordered.
"Would you like living most of your life in the darkness, always on the run from other vamps and Vampyre Hunters, never being able to fall in love, not being able to eat foods and enjoy them? Do you know how long it's been since I've had Cheesecake?" Jina said, looking at him with truthful eyes.
"I'm human, and most of what you said applies to me." Heero said standing up and walking towards her.
"Then you're not thankful enough to be who you are." She said.
"There is one difference between you and I though. You can live forever, and I will die." Heero said.
"Then your misery will be over long before mine will." She walked back into the apartment and retreated to bed. Heero watched her as she left. His mind was cloudy but he refused to let his drunkenness make him forget this conversation. It was the first time they'd talked without arguing; he realized that they were too much alike. That relationship would never work.

Trowa lay next to a sleeping Roddy. A couple of hours after the ceremony she'd fallen into a deep sleep. Trowa hadn't slept a wink considering that he was extremely worried about his girlfriend. He was sorry he'd lied to her, because one day he had planned to tell her what he did.
He was bored lying there and extremely hungry, so he decided to get up and go get something from the kitchen. When he reached the living room there was nothing there, except for Sally and Wufei asleep on the couch with clothes all around them and covered under blankets. Trowa smiled and walked over towards the kitchen. He couldn't believe that he had forgotten to eat. Maybe in his nervousness he forgot how hungry he was.
There was nothing in the refrigerator but a can of soda and an apple; he'd have to get something from the local McDonalds tomorrow. For right now he settled for what was there and grabbed the apple and the soda. He ate quickly and returned to Roddy.
She'd rolled over when he was gone; maybe she was ready to wake. He climbed back into bed and she didn't stir. He kissed her on the forehead and whispered words of love in her ear. Tomorrow night would be different he knew, but he would have to love her nonetheless.
