Chapter Ten: MINE

"Your eyes, they look different," said Tsubame.

"Really. It must be the tension of a few things. You know what, I'm going to go out for a bit of fresh air. Do call me if anything happens," said Kirei as nice as possible as she grabbed her sword that she left down here and went out into the back garden.

Battousai was certain that something was different about her and was going to find out. He grabbed his sword and without a word followed her.

Katsu was about to go too, but Cho stopped him.

"They're some of the strongest here, let them handle it," said Cho.

"He's in M.R.U. and she's probably... I don't want to think about it. That type of combo is not a good thing. Or have you forgotten what M.R.U. does to a vampire?" asked Katsu, Kaoru was like a sister to him and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

"Battousai isn't careless. He won't do the Ritual until the Red Moon. As you know the first time is the one that increases power the most. As Battousai, he knows that he'll be needing all the power he can get to get rid of Shishio and Enishi," said Saitoh.

The others looked at each other worried, and then nodded. This was their battle, and there was nothing any of them could do anyway. All they could do was wait and watch, and pray to the heavens that they didn't devour each other or destroy anything. Let alone kill them all.

*~*~*~*~*

Darkness seemed to engulf the whole mansion and garden within it's inky shadows. These shadows weren't as hollow as they had looked before; they seemed to carry many whispers within the night.

The garden was simple, it had rows of flowerbeds and looked very pretty compared to the old looking mansion that it surrounded. There were waterfalls and ponds outside. The moon was one step out of the full moon, signaling the Red Moon's arrival was soon to come.

Kirei walked to the darker and open area of grass. There was dew on the grass and the smell of rain still fresh in the air. She stood in the center and allowed the moon to bathe over her.

Battousai had to say that she was a very tempting creature. The moon's light touched her milky skin making her look like an angel, despite her deadly aura around her. It cast over her dark locks and brought out her azure eyes. He had to use all of his control not to just take her right then and there. No wonder his other half had no control around this delicious vixen.

"You can come out now Battousai," said Kirei coldly.

He should of known that she would have been able to sense him. Battousai only chuckled.

"If it's a fight you want, then come and get it," said Kirei as she unsheathed her sword.

She was rewarded by a dark laugh.

"Why would I want to fight such a beautiful creature of the night?" asked Battousai hotly in her ear, as he suddenly appeared with his arms around her waist, crushing her to his muscular body.

Kirei froze, her breath caught. How was he able to move without her knowing? He was much stronger than she thought. She cursed inwardly.

"What's your name kirei?" asked Battousai as he moved the back of his hand against her right cheek, sending the darker half to shudder a bit.

"You already said it," said Kirei calmly, as she tried to control the pleasurable shocks going through her from his mere touch.

"The name suits you," said Battousai seductively in her ear, making her shiver in delight and yet something told her to be afraid, very afraid.

Battousai's hands moved down her lithe form eliciting her body.

He's feeling me up. Bastard. Thought Kirei, she would not be played with.

Kirei turned on him quickly and brought down her sword, but he vanished.

"Shit! Where'd he go?" asked Kirei in a whisper as she tried to sense his ki.

"Tsked. Tsked. You shouldn't play with sharp objects," came Battousai's mocking voice.

"Shut up and fight me," said Kirei, she came out for a fight, and she was going to get one.

"We're going to be mates soon, why fight?" asked Battousai's calm voice.

Suddenly her sword was thrown to the other side of the courtyard.

"Damn!" said Kirei as she cursed at him and went to get her sword.

Suddenly she was picked up from behind and swung around. Then her body was crushed into Battousai's muscular form. The guy was just too fast for her.

She was panting as he spoke in her ear hotly, "You're mine, and will be for an eternity of darkness. I will have you on the Red Moon, willing or not. You can't win against me Kirei; no matter what, you'll forever be mine."

It was spoken soft and gentle, yet she caught the threat clearly.

"I am not an object for you to own. Let me go," said Kirei as she struggled to get out but to no prevail, the guy was just too strong.

He let her go and vanished again.

Kirei was panting with anger and pure hatred, why was she so weak?

Then out of the blue she felt her back being pinned to an old tree, blossoms began to fall around her and her captive from the impact. Battousai was crushing his body to her.

Kirei was about to scream, when his lips crushed hers. It was extremely gentle for all of the lust that was welling up in him right now to claim her right now. He had to coax her.

She felt her body wanting to melt right into him, his kiss heightened all of her senses, and all she could do was focus it on him. Her every thought was about him. She felt so dizzy all of a sudden. Her body threatened to clasp, but Battousai held onto her waist.

"I told you, I will have you willingly or not. So just give into me," said Battousai seductively in her ear as he bit at her lobe.

Kirei was breathless from the kiss, she had no chance of winning and she knew it.

Then he suddenly pulled back despite his body's cries from lost of contact.

"I'll give you until the Red Moon to realize that you can't win. By then, I'll have you hot and yearning for my touch," said Battousai with a grin as he strolled, no glided back to the mansion.

Kirei's shock and sudden passion was turned into anger. She would not be played like a doll, she would not give in if it was the last thing she did.

*~*~*~*~*

Battousai walked calmly into the mansion, not bothering to hide his ki. He knew that the others had figured it out by now. He calmly walked up to his room.

Then Kirei came in with her sword by in its sheath, and her eyes were still swirling. She went up to her room without a word.

"What do you think happened? She looks pissed," said Sanosuke.

"What do you think moron?" asked Cho as he hit him upside the head for last time.

"Why you mop head..." began Sanosuke, but stopped when he saw Megumi's shocked face.

"H-how can someone... be... so powerful?" asked Megumi, she never felt such power from anyone before, and Battousai's appearance was quite shocking.

"On the Red Moon his powers will be ten times more powerful," said Saitoh.

(*My vampires can get powerful in a few ways; One) The Mating Ritual. Two) the Red Moon. Three) the very first time the Ritual is done between two vampires. It doesn't matter if one did it before, it's if the two vampire's first time together. Battousai and Kirei will get really strong since they're going to be doing all three of those. The Red Moon only boosts a vampire's ability times 2. Wanted to clear that up.*)

The other vampires shuddered at the thought of someone being stronger than that.

*~*~*~*~*

Kirei punched her pillow until feather began to fly out.

"I will not lose to him," said Kirei angrily.

You can't win. Said Kaoru.

"Shut up. There has to be a way to win," said Kirei.

Well if you get effected, so does he.. Began Kaoru.

"That's it, I'll use that to my advantage. I'll make him snap. We'll see who makes who hot and yearning by then. If you can't beat him, join him. I will not be tamed that effortlessly, I'm not one to give into things so easily," said Kirei as her eyes turned completely red.

Kaoru had a very bad feeling about this.

*~*~*~*~*

A/N: The game is on. Battousai won round one easily, but it looks like Kirei isn't out of the fight yet. I know that was corny, but still. Don't kill me that it's short, but I just had to put this up. This chapter was about Battousai and Kirei. The next chapter will be long, and include some of the other couples. Is it me or is it getting hot in here? The plot is kind of subsiding for a while, and the action shall take place on the Red Moon, that's also when you all get your lemon. It's going to be my first so don't flame.

The reason that I'm writing such short chapters is because once it's the Red Moon, it's practically all over. So I want to get more reviews before then. The ending is probably going to be whack, so don't kill me.

This is a K/K, A/M, S/M, S/T, Y/T, Soujiro/Shura, and Katsu/Tae fic. As I get to the Red Moon, it'll be like that. I never said that it would be a happy ending, and I probably won't make it one. If I do, then it'll most likely get a sequel. It all depends on my reviewers. And I never said that any of them would last, it's just that the couples will get together then something happens and then leads to more trouble. It's to add a bit of drama and spice to my story. So I warn you all now.

From all that I told you, you probably know that this is going to be a long fic. So please enjoy and give me suggestions.

PLEASE REVIEW!
