Requiem Aeternam

Chapter II

Disclaimer: I noticed that no disclaimer was added in the first chapter. Oops.

Blurry eyes opened, and Shido moaned, sitting up. He instantly regretted it, clutching at his head. The young Vampire looked down and blushed, making an indignant noise. He was naked. "IYYYAAAA!!!"

The door opened and Kallias entered with several female Vampires trailing behind. He sank down on the bed Shido had been tucked into, reaching out a hand to stroke Shido's flushed cheek, "I can definitely see what Cain prizes about you."

"S-Shut up!"

Kallias clapped his hands, and the females advanced on Shido with measuring tools and bolts of cloth. Shido yelped when they held him down and took his measurements. "O-oi! Please, don't touch me there! Oi!" He was getting frantic, and Kallias sighed, putting a hand on Shido's shoulder.

"It is amazing how much blood can revive you, hmm?"

Shido froze. "Blood…?"

"Why yes. You drank half our humans last night."

"I…did…what…?"

Kallias cocked his head to the side, "Is there something wrong?" Realization dawned on him, "Oh, that's right. I had heard that Cain's lost consort had taken a vow not to kill humans. You must be terribly upset, little one." The women finished measuring, finally, and Kallias helped Shido up. He was crying, whimpering apologies to the unknown humans he had killed.

"Now, now, it's not that terrible, darling. Come. You must be prepared for tonight." He wrapped an arm around Shido's waist and helped him slide off the bed into a standing position.

The women surged forward, tugging him into a nearby pool of heated water. Tropical flower petals and lily pads floated on top. They lowered him into it and climbed in after him. They washed and combed his hair, making sure to clear away every inch of dirt, and massaged his tired muscles.

Shido melted, his eyes hooded, his mouth agape. He did not notice when Kallias slid into the pool next to him, as naked as he was. The women finished washing Shido and withdrew to get his clothing ready. Kallias pet the comatose Vampire's soft violet hair.

"My dear Shido…I do not believe you know how beautiful you are," He leaned over and kissed the young Vampire, his tongue penetrating the rather surprised mouth and roaming around. Kallias slid a hand down to tease the inside of Shido's thigh. "So soft."

"S-Stop. Stop it!" Shido seemed to snap out of his comatose state, though the fact that he had taken human lives dulled his senses with grief.

"Ah…you seem to be enjoying it, " Kallias chuckled, but withdrew. "There will be plenty of time to take you later. Come, pet." He pulled Shido out of the bath and stood him up. The women converged on him with clothing.

"Augh! I…this…this is so humiliating! Coward…hiding behind women!"

Kallias' yellow eyes flashed, and he slapped Shido across the face, "I would watch my mouth if I were you, little one." He turned and stalked out of the door, "Call me when he is ready."

Shido had no choice but to stand still as the women dressed him. He couldn't help but be embarrassed. Especially when he saw what he was wearing.

The person in the mirror was beautiful. He was adorned in sea blue robes that touched his jeweled slippers. The robes had emeralds sewn into the sleeves, and were heavily embroidered with silver. Hair flowed long and down to his knees, held only by a silver and emerald encrusted tiara. "That is…me…?" The women Vampires giggled and left. A moment later, Kallias strode back into the room. He was dressed in a fine tuxedo and flowing black cape.

"Come, pet." Kallias took Shido's hand and led him outside, into a carriage. "It is time."
