Bloodlust
By Kaitourei
"The Lovers"
Dull throbbing pain was all the Fanelian King felt, as he lay somewhere cold and foreign. Thoughts and memories were blurred in the boy's mind as his mind chaotically raced through the day's events. Slowly a searing pain spread across Van's cheek.
Through the overbearing silence in his mind, Dilandau's voice cooed softly. "Look Van, we match…"
---------------------------
Hitomi Kanzaki was home alone that night. She was settling in for her night's rest when from the lower quarters of her house there was a bang, like something large had fallen. She rose and curiously peered from her doorway… a soft bluish glow had begun to fade away from sight as her eyes met the hallway.
Joy surged through the girl's body, her lips spread into a smile. "Van…" She softly whispered as she raced down the hall to meet her dragon-riding knight.
But in the doorway she stopped. She was right Van was there, but her was injured. Turning from the hall, Hitomi sprinted faster than she had ever before to the bathroom, there she grasped the first aid kit and sprinted back to Van, on her quest for the kit, she had missed the other figure in her living room slip away down the hall. Swiftly Hitomi rushed to her lover's side. She bent down to the sprawled figure.
"Van please speak to me!" Hitomi shook the dark haired boy's shoulders. "Please Van, please tell me you're alright!"
Slowly, ever so slowly, the King's eyes opened. Worry flooded through Van's rigged body as Hitomi held him close. From the shadows of the forgotten hallway, Van could have sworn her glimpse a pair of hungry red eyes and an infamous smirk. He inhaled sharply. Dilandau was in her home.
Van tried to speak, he tried to yell for Hitomi to run but his voice failed him. Instead he coughed.
Hitomi looked into the eyes of her injured lover, but what she saw on his cheek made her fears become a reality. Across Van's tanned skin was a scar, exactly the same scare that was worn by the bloodlust Zaibach General Dilandau Albatou.
"Van…?" Hitomi asked quietly as she hugged him closer. "Where's my pendant?"
Then Hitomi heard it. The slow tread of boots across the living room floor. She didn't dare look behind her. Chills ran up her spine as a pale hand grazed her shoulder and her pendant waved in frount of her eyes.
"This was you're looking for?" The voice confirmed her fears.
Slowly Van raised his eyes. "…Hitomi run…"
There was a sharp cackle following his statement. "I'm afraid it's a bit to late for that Van." Without any more than a millisecond to spare Dilandau jerked Hitomi into his grasp.
Deep red eyes locked with a fearful green pair. Dilandau smirked and pulled her closer to him. "So you're the bitch who ruined all my plans…" He smirked. "We finally meet."
"Let. Go. Of. Me!" Hitomi fought vainly against the albino's grasp. Preoccupied with Hitomi, the Zaibach office missed Van as he opened the first aid kit.
Hitomi, also oblivious to Van's actions, fought in Dilandau's grasp. Suddenly she found herself being pulled toward the albino. Within seconds her lips and his connected in a forced kiss.
Hitomi violently jerked away, "Bastard!"
Dilandau smirked and leaved in again, murmuring, "I hope you're watching Fanel…"
Again Dilandau moved toward Hitomi his lust filled eyes, sparkling in victory. They connected again, this time Hitomi couldn't break away… Dilandau felt mirth rise as he heard Van moving, but her knew the King could not attack him. Not with the broken legs, Dilandau had given him… But he was ever so wrong.
Dilandau broke away from the kiss abruptly. The General released Hitomi and grasped his side. Blood was beginning to pour down the albino's side. Dilandau gasped as pain shot through his body.
Ever so slowly, Dilandau raised his head to meet the two before him. Van Fanel stood crouched on his knees a pair or bloody scissors in his hands. Next to the young King, Hitomi was wiping her mouth in disgust. Pure, untainted rage filled the silver haired boy.
"Damn you Van," Dilandau drew his katana in a fluid motion. Without a thought he launched himself toward the seer. His sword swung in an almost useable rate and connected with Hitomi's neck.
Van watched helplessly was his lover's head seemed to jump of her neck. Blood erupted from her throat as her lifeless body fell onto the carpeted floor. Dilandau staggered backward and caught himself; taking a slim finger he traced the edge of the blade than brought it to his mouth.
"And they saw revenge isn't sweet," Dilandau liked his lips.
Van didn't care weather Dilandau was approaching. As Van felt the cold steal blade sink into his abdomen his mind was elsewhere. Even as the albino twisted his blade deeper into the King's gut, Van didn't cry out. He merely stared into the eyes of his dead lover's head.
Dilandau reached over and turned the raven-haired boy's face towards himself. "You realize I'm doing you a favor Van… I would have preferred you to die much more painfully."
When Van didn't respond Dilandau turned away. As the albino limped away, he turned and looked one last time at his enemy's body. Van lay, with Dilandau's katana through his stomach, staring into the dull dead eyes of his late lover.
A familiar smirk replaced Dilandau's unreadable face. He didn't laugh, for it hurt him too much, he just stood there and smirked. Then, with the pendant in his hand, Dilandau vanished from Earth forever.

*Blink, blink* That was oddly disturbing… even for me. Oh well, this chapter was supposed to be two, but I condensed it into one. Heh… I'm so lazy.
Sorry about killing Merle, she was ok in my book. (Just remember kiddies, if mass character death disturbs you in any way you're in the wrong fic and I don't want to hear any complaining.)
You like? Then review.
