Note:
Well this is the last chapter.. I'm so proud of myself for finishing this story, no matter how sappy and stupid and horrible pun-y it may be! I will not quit! I'm also happy at how extended I made the chapters.. well grab some more popcorn and a drink, to continue this chapter... if the length of these chapters are annoying you, Gomen, this is the only story I am going to do it to! Anywho, this story is mine, but the charaters are not (belonging to Maki Murakami of 'Gravitation')
I landed soundlessly on the pavement, sniffed the air, and then I made my way to my old apartment complex. It was only twenty minutes to dawn now. I climbed up the brick wall, and found my window, then peered inside. There was Ryuuichi sound asleep, Kumagoro in arm. As he dreamed of... me. I made my way to the front door, and opened it... it was unlocked. I better leave him a note about that. I made my way past the kitchen and living room, and the bathroom, into our room, now his only. I stood over him as he slept, so peaceful he looks. How cute. His eyelids so soft, as well as his cheeks. His hair its usual dark brown, the length of the bottom of the back of his neck, with shorter bangs that always annoyed me, cause they were always in his face. His skin, shiny and smooth, like a glass doll. The tint, lovely olive. I leaned over to pop-kiss him. And he sighed; I stopped then crept into his mind. He dreamed of when we use to spend our time with only each other, and what might have happened to me. I heard him now humming some song of mine from a demo I recorded once in his sleep. I wept for the times we had, I looked outside, and the sun was about to rise. I kissed his soft cheek, leaving a drop of blood. I ran to the kitchen and began writing furiously:
My pal pal Ryuuichi,
Do not worry about me, I am just fine. I just stopped by to see you, and as I was leaving I noticed how you left the door unlocked. Please remember to lock it from now on. I could have been a robber or a murderer... I cannot tell you where I live now, what I am doing, and why I left. All I can say is I love you, and do not worry about me. You are always in my thoughts. Maybe I'll see you in a bar someday.
Love,
Shindou Shuuichi I kissed it, and then ran out the door shutting it quickly, but quietly. I flew across the grass towards Touma-chan's house as fast as I could. My eyes began to burn slightly, but my body had begun to burn. I screamed as I ran, sounding like an ambulance in a hurry to save a life. I was that ambulance... trying to save my life, what life I had. The sun was almost all the way up; I wasn't going to make it in time. I searched for a barren place to dig. I found an empty patch of land behind what seemed to be an abandoned house. It'll have to do. I ran to the farthest place from the house, near some crumbling bushes, and began digging with all my strength. This is just great! My first night, and I already almost get fried! I dig it so deep and long that it seems a machine made this hole. I jumped inside, and pulled the dirt after me. Barely missing the first blinding rays of the sun. I felt numb...so then I slept...
"Shuuichi!? Shuu-kun!! Answer me! Where are you?" I heard Touma-chan's voice above me. I tried to move, but my body was hurting from where I was burnt. I had been lying here for a few hours after dusk. I couldn't move that well so I called out to him, 'Touma-chan?' "Shuuichi? Is that you?" he asked frantically, 'I'm right under you. Just dig right where you are.' No sooner had I started talking then he had found me. I felt cold hands grab for me, it took so much strength trying not to scream. He rushed me home, kissing my burnt skin as he placed me in a bed with sheets made of silk, and a big frumpy comforter made of the thickest cotton. He told me to lie still, not that I wanted to move. He ran off, and he didn't come back until almost the next morning. I was hurting so bad. I couldn't differentiate between the pains, whether it was my burnt skin or the lack of blood. Before Touma-chan returned, Kanna-san came back into the room with a man that looked like the most sinister human ever to live... that I have ever seen. With his gruffy shaved beard, and his dirty body. His missing teeth, and tattoos galore. Not to mention the fact that he had a knife in his boot... I could hear it scratching. The dirty American. I questioned Kanna-san's mind, and not knowing if I would get an answer or not, told me that this man has a right to die, and that I should be the person to end his reign of evil on Earth. I smiled, or at least tried to without hurting my face. Now I wasn't completely burnt to a crisp, to the point where I'm hideous to look at, but my skin is a dark almond, and it's very tight. I nodded slightly, to show her that I understood. How she got him in here I don't know, and I'm too tired to search her mind to find out. But I conjured up enough energy to withstand the pain of sitting up. "What the fuck?" the man yelled, looking at me. He had obviously not known I was there. Kanna-san hit him over the head with a fire prod. He fell right into my lap. I didn't hesitate to act; I sank my teeth into his neck, and gored myself on his blood. Kanna-san sat and watched, pleased to finally feed one of our kind once again. She clapped her hands and cheered. I was strong enough to help drag the body outside, but was soon tired and had to come back inside to lie down. Kanna-san sat by my side until Touma- chan returned, with a tall white-faced demon like Touma-chan and I. I studied him; his hair was a more golden yellow blonde, cut short. He had the facial features of a marble statue. Eyes, the clearest blue with a small green ring on the outside of his irises, and skin same color as mine. He wore black dress shoes, like the business men of this age wore. Black loose comfy-looking dress pants, with only a loose unbuttoned white colored dress shirt, that didn't cover any of his chest. I thought to myself how incredibly handsome he was. Touma-chan was beautiful, but he was handsome. I automatically thought that this was the creature that created Touma-chan. "No shit Sherlock," he said to me, turning his back to Touma-chan, who he had been talking to. He spoke perfect English, but with an accent that lingered. One definitely not from America. I tried to trace his mind, failing in seeing his name or the other needed information. He smiled as he blocked me out, "Don't make it so obvious that you are reading minds, dumbass. Nobody in their right mind would let you read them. But enough of this, I am here because Touma begged like a dog... just like when he wanted to be reborn as a vampire," then said as a side note, "Not that he wasn't already a vampire" Not obtaining the information that I wanted I became frustrated slightly, but I nodded my head and asked him in our silent voice, 'Anata no o-namae wa? How will I call upon you when I need you?' he now walked away from Touma-chan then glared at Kanna-san, she soon moved out of the way, then sat at my side, stared at me in the face then thought, 'You do not need to know my name, to aid you in your search for me, whenever it may be. Just call out... I will hear.' This wasn't good enough, so I turned my thoughts to Touma-chan and asked, 'Touma-chan? What is your master's name? He refuses to tell me?' he didn't look at me, but I knew he had heard me, 'you truly are an idiot aren't you Shuuichi? Ever since I made you, and before that when you were still a ningen.' I sighed, 'that's my brother... well technically he's my father since he created me, but when we were still ningen, he was my brother in law. Before I found out that he was changed, I was married to his sister. A few more years passed and I finally realized that something was very different about him. I also began doubting my marriage with his sister, and soon began loathing to be just around her. I finally found out about what had happened to him and I asked him if he could change me... he did later than sooner'
I sighed, 'Well... what is your brothers name? Jeez and you said I was stupid' Touma-chan glared at me angrily then grunted, 'His name is Uesugi Eiri... though he prefers to be called Yuki Eiri. Now I have a question... why the hell are you asking me? Why don't you ask him you slow-minded twit' I shrugged after chuckling. 'Yuki' turned his glance in Touma-chan's direction and said aloud, "Stop talking about me He noticed how surprised I was, and shrugged it off then reached for me. I jerked, my reflexes working without my control. He smiled, and then held out his arm for me. I took it then he grabbed me quite suddenly, biting, piercing my tight skin like the first bite of a fat sausage, just off the grill. I made a noise of alarm, sounding like a tiny squeak, then as he finished drinking half of what blood I had, he held his arm back out for me again. Whether he wanted me to or not, I plunged my fangs into his wrist making him jerk as I had. I held tight for what seemed to be like hours, large mouthfuls of sweet, thick, hot blood dripping over my lips. I was a messy eater. Not long after I was gulping my sixth mouthful of blood, did he pull his arm away before I realized it was gone. As I licked the air, I then took notice that he retrieved his arm.
The blood sang through my veins, beating monstrously in my ears. I swayed to the beat of my heart as it flowed through me, returning me to my paler complexion. Forcing its way into my very muscles, pumping and pounding. Tearing the very skin off my arms to replace it with brand new, beautiful, unblemished skin.
I sat up in my bed and suddenly realized that I wasn't in MY bed at all. I was in Touma-chan's room, covered with his covers, and comforted by his comforter. I clenched my teeth to feel the strength of my jaw, and then balled my fists to feel the blood force its way into the folds of my fingers. A jolt of pleasure went from my toes, through my spine, to the back of my neck, causing me to shiver.
"Feel better?" Touma asked grumbling, noting my amazement of my newly absorbed powers. I answered by standing up, pulling off my dirty grass stained snug shirt, practically tearing off my leather pants, torn from the sticks in the Earth. Retrieving a new pair of pants, and another shirt (blue). Everyone except Kanna-san (who had then blushed furiously and turned around), who left as soon as I started to change, smiled in amusement, then Touma-chan said, "I guess so" I ignored him. I thanked Yuki, crying happily over dramatically, then got smacked over the head and then left the house.
I wondered for a few months, hunting just to satisfy my thirst, trying to forget about Ryuuichi. But on the day after these events I went out to hunt differently... and to think.
I made my way to the busiest part of the city of Orlando, once again checking to make sure Touma-chan hadn't followed me. In no time I had found a group of gigglers, heading towards a nightclub, that didn't seem too busy. I walked up behind them then asked in the most pleasant tone, "Hey I'm looking for a good place to get a drink, and you know, hang out. Do you know of any good places?" the girl that seemed to be the leader of this 'group' said with a smile and a wink, "Yeah, we were heading to one now. Just tag along and we'll show you the way cutie"
Gotcha, easy prey. So I did...I played the 'tag along', and along the way they asked me questions.
"So, like, why is your skin so pale? You not from around here?" "Well... I'm from Japan, but I've lived here for a few years.... It's just that I don't get much sun," I said with a chuckle. Another girl asked me, as we came up to the doors of this shaggy club, "How did you get your skin so smooth?" I almost burst thinking that that was the funniest thing I've ever heard. Instead I said, "It's in my blood to have good skin" then one final girl asked as we sat at a table, "So it like runs in your family?" I held my mouth forcing me to swallow my laughter, and just nodded.
I admired the style the people had when they made this little place. 'The Chill Pill' was the name of it, and everything was made in the style of ice. The carpet of the wall was many different shades of blue and white; the floor or dance floor was transparent with blue and white lights under them, making the floor glow. From the ceiling hung icicles, and white Christmas lights. The chairs were made of clear plastic, and shaped into blocks of ice. The tables the same. And many blue and white lights decked all over the bar. It was like the ice age, made modern. There weren't very many people here, but there were a nice amount to fill the place.
I sat with the girls not listening to their conversations, but admiring their beauty. The only thing I didn't like was how they giggled, I despised that.
Watching as the so claimed leader spoke of some incident that took place earlier that day between her other friend and a guy, I stared at an area of skin in between her ear and shoulder, watching her varicose vein pump. I reached my hand out to touch it, and as soon as my hand met her neck, she jerked but not fast enough to stop my mouth from closing in upon her throat. Now it was dark, but not dark enough. Every girl at the table stared in horror, and the whole place seemed to freeze at the sound of her weeping and screaming, even though the place still pumped with the sound of dance music. As I took what last drop I could out of her, without killing me, the girls began to move slowly away, so as not to alarm me...I suppose.
With seemingly red glowing eyes under my pink hair... very menacing; I then threw the body across the room, and watched as people scattered away from it, but not moving any more than they did.
I now stood up and walked around admiring all the different kinds of people here, not bothering to wipe off what blood had dripped on my chin. I read their minds; a young man named Charles was terrified of me, yet attracted to me all the same. In a second I appeared behind him, sending everyone away from him, and then I gripped him by the arm and asked in his ear, "Hey Charlie, are you scared of me? Tell me... what do you think I am?" his eyes widened, I wanted to be known! I traced the sharpest edge of my nails along his cheek. He shook his head then said, "I –I –I don't know. W- w- what are you? How do you know my name?" I laid my chin on his shoulder then asked, "Questions, questions, questions! What is it with you ningen and questions?" Then I sent him wild, fighting me as I bit his shoulder. And as I drank, strong arms snaked their way around my waist and throat, and pulled me off Charlie.
Kicking a yanking I could not get free, and I suddenly knew who had a hold off me... Yuki. I stopped trying to hurt him, but continued trying to get free. I was furious with him for holding me down like an animal. I wasn't an animal, I was a demon! There is a difference!
"Stop you idiot! If you are an immortal kedamono, then you are sure as hell an animal... I swear... but now is not the time to argue." Yuki said directly into my ear, then added, pointing at a figure in the doorway, "You see there? Who is that?" I didn't need to look to know who it was. I gasped, nearly choking on the blood that lingered on my tongue. Yuki let me go, and I stumbled like a drunk ningen towards the figure. I couldn't look at the face, in fear that mine would be seen, but I stole a super quick glance.
His face was blank as he looked stuck in space, but then he started to shake, holding his Kumagoro tighter. His brown hair headband-less, loose and flowing free just like that one night as he slept. He reached out for me, "Shuu-kun!" I recoiled then vanished in front of his eyes, running from him and leaving a trail of blood.
All I can remember was running. I didn't stop, not once. Whether I ran around the city, or I ran straight, going through a few states, I'm not sure, and I didn't really care at the moment. But I found myself in a hole in the ground once again. I felt the worms wiggle around me, feasting upon the warm soil that I lied in. and I slept for three days, then once again I felt the thirst come on as strong and as forceful as some men have been to me in my ningen years.
For as long as I've been an immortal kedamono, I have always been an early riser. I would be wide-awake just as the sun was on the horizon, but after I drank Yuki's blood I now found myself awake while the sun was still up. I gradually began to dig to the surface, clawing the walls of dirt with my talon-like fingernails. Pushing the worms and mud out of the way... it had just recently rained. By the time I made it to the top, I could feel that the sun was now down. As I came up out of the ground, filthy once again, like from the movie "Night of the living dead" a few hands took hold of me before I received my senses. Four hands, or two people altogether, both stronger than me, but one significantly weaker than the other, both obviously vampires. Unfortunately, my hair was so dirty and wild I couldn't see... yet I could just... feel.
I tilted my head up as I was being restrained, and beheld Touma-chan and Yuki chaining me up and putting me in the back of a car. No expression, but I could feel their anger, this confused me. What have I done this time?
'Shut up... you didn't do anything.' Yuki thought, not even looking at me. I knew that was a lie, they were probably mad because I went ballistic at that club three nights ago. I looked into Touma-chan's wide blue eyes and asked in a weak whisper, "Are you going to kill me?" His stare burned holes through to my soul, telling me that they aren't going to kill me. But I knew... they were going to punish me.
"I probably deserve to be killed" I began to laugh hysterically. And with all those chains around me, and them dragging me to the back seat of the car, I probably looked as if I was one of the mentally ill, being taken to a rehabilitation center. I took a nice nap during our trip back to Touma- chan's home, but by the time I got there I could not even think of sleeping. They pulled me below the house into a hand-dug tunnel, leading to a small cell with a large steel loop in the center of the room. They sat me in the center, and chained me to it. I suddenly knew what they were doing, and I began to weep.
'Ack! Touma-chan... Yuki, don't leave me here. I'm sorry for whatever I did. I promise I'll stop. I promise, I don't care if I don't have blood, I just want at least one of you with me. I'd rather wither to nothing, and still have someone to talk to, than to sit here and wither alone. Please don't leave' I thought to both of them, they didn't say anything. They just chained me then left me to my screaming, pleading, and crying pitifully.
I was in that room for who knows how long. But it was well hidden from the sun, so I wouldn't die from the blinding rays of day. But I haven't had any blood since after I left Ryuuichi in the club, so my veins were screaming as loud as I was. I thought about what he might have thought he had seen, and if he has gotten over it if he believed it.
I prayed to Jehovah, the one God, the creator of the heavens and earth, to protect me... the demon... the unnatural fiend that has upset the balance of nature itself, and to watch over Ryuuichi... the light bringer... the REAL angel, while I was the fallen one as Touma-chan so plainly put it. I couldn't even cover my face in my hands to wipe the blood stained tears from my cheeks and lips. I had to stop crying or I would loose more precious blood.
Locked away from the world and it's beautiful blood filled beauties that walk the earth like it is free of harm, and free of demons. They should be glad that I am chained, or I would destroy all I could, just to satisfy my outrageous thirst. I began to twist and turn, the millionth escape attempt since I've been here. No use. I laid back on the dirty floor, my hair covered with dust and mud from when I arose from the earth so many nights ago, I was filthy my white torn up shirt now black and red from dust and my tears, was barely nothing now. My shoes coming apart from me rubbing them on the ground so hard, they became over twenty years old in two seconds, and my pants torn in areas where I struggled to get up and was forced back down by a loose thread holding on to a cut in the stone floor, tearing the material loose. I lost my interest in my clothes and studied the low ceiling instead, barely being illuminated by a torch coming from the hallway.
I sat up abruptly hoping to find Yuki, praying that maybe he'll let me drink from him, so that I may grow stronger, and either break loose some day, or last longer until they feel that I have been punished enough and release me. I felt my fingers again, a very ningen gesture.
Not only did I feel the presence of my kind, but also the heart beat of a ningen, blocking out all other sounds I had heard earlier. The heart thumping rapidly presently scared of my companion vampire. I prayed that they were bringing the ningen to me, so I could last longer in here on the pure rich blood, and not bringing it to taunt me. I became restless, and the present immortal kedamono knew it. I knew that whoever was bringing this ningen, smelt my blood... I could feel it. As the door opened, the light of the torch was diminished, and the ningen was thrown to me. The vampire that did this task was Yuki. I tried to reach him, but the chains kept me back from him.
"Bon appetite, my fallen singer" is all he said, then as he walked down the hallway back up the stairs, I could here his laughter the whole trip. All I heard now was the whimpering of the ningen, I didn't waste time with introductions or explanations, he was right next to me, obviously unaware that there was another demon in the same room. The ningen was male, I leaned closer to him, my breath on his neck startling him and with my teeth ripped open the flesh of his throat and feasted on him, savoring the taste... so rich, as I had thought. Before his heart stopped as I backed away, dripping in blood, not being able to wipe my mouth clean, I then noticed a pink familiar bunny placed in my face. The ningen said, "Shuuichi-kun? I- I understand" I looked down upon Ryuuichi's dying body in astonishment, and anger.
"Kumagoro mira.... cle beee-" Ryuuichi mumbled smooshing Kumagoro further into my face, smearing his blood on Kumagoro. 'He tricked me! That bastard! He tricked me!' in desperation, I tried to give him my powers; I cut open my wrist and watched as the fresh blood dripped along his still warm dead lips, no sign of life, my cut quickly healing itself.
I stroked his messy yet soft hair with the side of my face as I lay down beside him. I wish I had wasted time with introductions and explanations, because now he was gone; I had killed my best friend. I cried silently, leaking more blood on his eyes and lips. I kissed his chin, and then licked the blood off before it dried and was useless. Suddenly without me knowing, Yuki was hovering above me.
"I just hunted," he said, not taking any notice to Ryuuichi, "I want to let you go now, but Touma doesn't agree. I'd tell him to shove it... but I suppose you already know that he has a way with his fucking words. Anyway, it is almost sunset, and he is still asleep. He doesn't know I am down here, and I can help you get out and away from him forever" I thought about it, then thought to him still too struck with grief to want to speak, 'I hate you, both of you. But because I hate you two so much, and I want to get away, I am willing to cooperate' he nodded telling me he understood, and that I have a right to hate him. So it was his idea to feed me my own ningen companion. He shook his head at my thoughts, then bent down beside me as I laid down on my side opposite of him, and took Ryuuichi and his bunny companion out of my arms and in less than two seconds had placed him by the far back wall, and returned to me. I still lay on the floor, blood tears dripping from one eye over my nose, into my other eye and onto the ground. He unchained me, but I didn't move. He took hold of my shoulders and forced me to my feet. Then he leaned me against himself, I cried as I bit his stone solid skin, and drank his steaming hot demonic blood. He pulled me away, and then told me to stop crying or he'll have nothing to work with. I immediately choked my tears, and then was placed back on the wound that was almost fully healed.
I felt his life slow down, and as his heart quicken its rebellion Yuki pulled me away once more, then attached himself to my shoulder. And as my life slowed down, without him getting off I bit back into him.
Drinking... and loosing... drinking... and loosing
It was a never-ending cycle. Our blood was now one and the same; I felt my body becoming stronger than it ever was. It became as strong as it would be in a few thousand years. Soon we both stopped, with the same amount of blood within each other, but I still thirsted. Not as much as before, but I thirsted for the blood that would fill in the empty space. He didn't say anything, he didn't need to. He leaned over and took my lips into his, at first tasting my lips, but then becoming more adventurous, delving his tongue deep playing with mine. I soon hugged him tightly as we kissed much more, I began crying, he mumbled something then backed his head and licked my cheeks where the blood tears rolled slightly. I then shivered and laid my head on his chest, still embracing him tightly... desperately, "Dakishi metai noni!" he said nothing once again, just held me close for a moment, but then soon backed away and headed towards the cellar door, opening it, and we both walked out me trailing behind Yuki.
We made our way through the tunnel, up the stairs, past Touma's room, with Touma still asleep in it, and the second guest room into my room. Yuki stopped at the door, while I walked on over to my bed and sat down, I looked over and out the window next to my bed and I saw the sky; it was still the tint of blue. I stood back up then sauntered over to it. The sun was almost all the way down, but to the point where the sky was still blue. I stared at the life outside drenched in light, then turned to face Yuki. He was no longer there. I could feel that he was now in the city hunting once again, and I could feel that Touma would soon wake. I was now more powerful than my master, and I could conceal my strength to make him think I was still weak. I still could not read Touma's thoughts, and I could read as much maybe more of Yuki's thoughts, then when I was weaker.
I thought of Ryuuichi's decaying body below the house in the cellar. I would not cry. I ordered myself not to. Instead I forced all my anger to be directed towards Touma, the backstabbing bastard.
As I continued watching the clouds move through the sky, I thought of the best way to enjoy ending Touma's undead life, and then headed down to the cellar once again. I opened the door, and locked it from the outside with my mind, then forced tears to flow, and rubbed them all over my cheeks and mouth. Then I tangled the chains around my body making it look like I was still chained, and I waited. No sooner had I felt that Yuki finished feeding then Touma woke up. I laid my head on the ground, and since I didn't clean myself once I came out, I still looked like I hadn't left at all. I started to scream for attention, and forced more tears to come forth, staining my already torn shirt even more with blood. Just as I thought he would do, he walked down the steps to see how I reacted to me killing my best ningen friend. I sensed a smile on his face, and a chuckle in his throat. I wanted him dead. I concealed all my new power, as he walked further down the steps. With my improved strength his steps felt and sounded like ningen's steps... slow and awkward. But he made it nonetheless. As he opened the door to the cellar I felt his anger and contentment flow through the air. I could tell by his expression that he sensed something was different. But I guess he shrugged it off, thinking it was the effect of me drinking. Then he spoke, "Shuuichi, my beautiful, playful, stubborn fallen singer! How was dinner? I got it to go, hope you don't mind." (lame vampire joke)I then said in a harsh whisper, "Touma, how could you? Why did you feed me my best friend, and at a moment where I couldn't have cared less?"
"I did it because I was tired of you always talking about him, it was always Ryuuichi this, and Ryuuichi that! Every boy you killed reminded you of him. Why did you kill them with such a similar resemblance?" I didn't answer him, I just ignored the question and asked, "What did I do to anger you both?" he kneeled next to me, so close that I could have torn out his heart out just by a flick of the wrist. Then he placed his hand on my thigh and the other on the ground next to my face, and leaned his face in closer to mine then said, "You did not anger Yuki. Hell, you didn't anger me; I love a monster in angel's wings. It's just that you had to go and spoil everything with Ryuuichi and all. He had to see you do your dirty work, and you had to feel bad about it. Why in the hell did you care so much about him? Now what do you have to care for? Nothing! That's what. You have nothing, except me. Without me there is no meaning to your existence. Face it Shuuichi, you can't be on your own, you wouldn't last a night by yourself" I felt my anger rise, I didn't say anything, I just waited for him to leave.
In time, he did leave me. I waited until he was out of the house, then I unchained myself and headed off after his scent. I felt Yuki come up behind me before I saw him, but I took no notice of him... I was hunting. I saw Touma racing across the roofs of the buildings, and hop off the Asian restaurant in the alleyway. He walked down the street entering into the bar that I went ballistic in approximately a dozen nights ago. It's nice to know that 'The Chill Pill' was still in business. I followed without him sensing me, with Yuki following closely behind me as well.
I used the minds of the ningens to see where he was exactly; he had taken a seat in the same place I sat with those girls, in the far corner of the club. I now entered the club Yuki still following; and myself still filthy, so was getting some comments here and there from girls, and a few scoffs from the guys... but I didn't pay attention to them, I paid attention to not being caught just yet, so I told Yuki in my silent voice, 'You better not get me caught, or I will let him live' he made a gesture meaning he understood, then backed off and sat at the bar. Then I saw Touma, neatly and silently sucking on a young broad, probably around her early twenties, large figure, very voluptuous.
I appeared and reappeared in front of easily scared ningens, and I meant to do it, so that Touma would also be confused as to why they thought they had seen me, once he read their minds. At once Touma rose from his seat not a drop of blood spilled, over that young girl (proving that I was the only messy eater of our group) and entered the dance floor. He stood very still, seeming very odd amongst the active wiggling of the teenagers, and college students. He couldn't sense my presence now that I opened my powers and used them. I felt his mind reach out to me, wherever I was and it asked, 'Shuuichi? How are you out of your chains? What are you doing here? If you are here, then what are you doing? What games are you playing? How is it that I can't feel your presence?' his questions were so simple, questions I would have asked him before I became more powerful than him. I obviously didn't answer; instead I appeared behind him tapped him on the shoulder, then came around to the front of him, which was now the back and tapped him again. I played with him for until he became aggravated.
"Stop it!" He yelled, quieting some of the club, and getting some strange looks. I then appeared in front of him, in his face and I didn't move again this time. He stared back at me startled, then backed up. I smiled, and all he asked was, "How?" I zipped behind him, grabbed him by the shoulders whispered into his ear, "Yuki" then bit him in the back of the neck. He cringed in pain, as he tried to get me off of him, and began to fall to his knees as I drained his blood out more quickly then I did any ningen. I didn't want to talk, I wanted him dead... now!
Everybody in the club stopped dancing and stared in disbelief at this horror that is happening again with the same strange boy. I read their minds and they all were stricken with how all this could happen again. I smiled as my teeth were still in Touma's skin messaging his blood out faster, and the blood spilling into my mouth, and along my lips onto my chin once again. Like I said, I was a messy eater.
I could read Touma's mind only as his blood was going into me, and he now noticed Yuki in the same club as us. Yuki shrugged his shoulders, and waved to Touma who was now almost gone. I held his limp body in my arms, and then felt as his body weakened beyond belief.
I remembered Touma's lesson about drinking the last drop, then also noted the other several ways to kill a vampire.
Fire? To hot, draining? If I do, it will kill me, severed head? No, such a shameful way to die, the Sun? Perfect. I dragged his still living body with me out the door, only being intervened once and by the manager with a shot gun telling me to stop and that the police were on their way. I leaned in to his face, super fast then laughed in it, and shoved him aside, sending him flying over the bar hitting the bartender. I missed Yuki by about a foot, he laughed causing everyone to now look at him as I left, I felt Yuki stand up and leave following me, and everyone in the bar all looked at each other in disbelief as if to say, "Did that really happen?" then they started to panic, holding each other, whimpering, talking on cell phones, calling the police again and again. They'd never find me., even if they tried the most hardest they've ever tried in ningen history. I ran down the street and jumped three stories straight up onto a clothing warehouse building. I walked across the roof setting Touma's slowly healing body next to the metal poles holding a billboard sign upright.
He didn't have enough strength to move or heal quickly, but he had enough to whisper, and use his silent voice.
"I'm sorry Shuuichi," 'I didn't mean for it to end up this way.' "I do truly love you" I knew he was lying about how he was sorry, he was only saying that he was sorry so that I would forgive him, and give him my blood so that he could become strong again, and most likely kill me instead. I wasn't stupid, but he was telling the truth about him loving me. He didn't really want to hurt me, but he did it anyway, even when he knew he was. He did it out of jealousy.
I kneeled next to him, slapped him across his cheek as softly as I could, still hurting him, then kissed the spot I hit. I could sense Yuki's hurt as I had hit Touma, he still loved him as Touma loved me, mostly being that they WERE brothers... but I no longer cared. I did everything in my power to stop hurting from Ryuuichi's death, let alone Touma's betrayal. I left him, with Yuki staying to comfort him, I guess, and I went out to hunt.
I came back after killing only three, while on any other night I would have killed almost five an evening. It was almost morning, and I knew I could last an hour in the sun before I would begin burning. So I sat next to Touma, as blood tears began to role down his cheeks. I reached my hand to wipe them, and he jerked his head away. I placed my hand on his lips, holding him still with my other, and licked his tears instead. He became restless, I could sense as easily as knowing what a ningen will do next, that he didn't want to die.
'Touma, do not be afraid to die, you have been dead for more than one hundred years. This is no different' I thought calmly. He was still now, his wound almost completely gone. The tip of the sun now on the horizon. I had no way of knowing what he thought, being that I was his fledgling and could not read his mind, and Yuki being his master and even if I read it would find out nothing. But I did sense that he was still frightened, but trying to stay calm. I held him in one last embrace, lying his head on my shoulder, and kissing his hair. In a rush of panic he spoke into my mind asking, 'is there a God, is there Satan? Where will I go? Will my trapped spirit float free in the oblivious world, not seen? Or will it be cast out of heaven into hell and tortured far more badly than any ningen spirit? Tell me, please.' I shook my head and said, "After all this, I truly do not know Touma. But I do believe that we will be cast into hell for all the evil we have done to nature, being that we are not natural" he nodded his head, telling me he understood then lied there with his face to the now crimson sky. Our skin in the light seemed more ghostly, and frighteningly white. Than when it is in the dark and it glows. We seemed to be angelic demons, ready to die. I stood up leaving Touma's side and made my way to the edge of the building, Touma gathering up enough energy to reach out and grab hold of my ankle.
I reached down and took his hand off me, then pulled him up by the arms and dragged him with me to the edge, where I held him before me like a sacrifice to a bloodthirsty god. And as those first rays crept above the line of oaks a few miles away, I felt his body tremble, then become extremely hot. I let go of him, letting his body collapse on the edge nearly falling to the ground below. Then his body started to sizzle; I leaned over his burning body and thought into him while grinning evilly, 'Say hello to Lucifer for me, won't you?' then his body burst into flames. Even with his body being as weak as it was, he seemed to have collected energy from out of no where then screamed a shrill that made the tiny hairs on my neck rise.
I leaped back, away from Touma, landing next to Yuki, who held me. I turned away from Touma's body and threw my head against Yuki's cold chest to get away from the site of my master practically melting, his skin bubbling and popping like plastic in the microwave. My early feelings for Touma rose up to strike down my loathing of him, and cast me into convulsive weeping; I had no control, and could not order myself to stop.
I wept so hard, Yuki had to hold me tighter to keep me still. My face was not only covered in my blood, but Yuki's chest was dripping from it as well. He reached inside his jacket and pulled out a tissue, wiping his chest, and then pulled out a silken piece of cloth and handed it to me. I cleaned the new blood off my face, and had to scrub slightly to get the dry blood off, and then tried to turn to watch the rest of Touma's body fall. Which I couldn't, so instead I looked through Yuki's eyes, and found that there was nothing left, not even ash, and that the sun was now up.
I kept track of time; I had about fifteen minutes to find a place to rest. My skin was becoming warmer. I would soon end up like Touma, wherever he was, if I didn't find a resting place.
I backed away from Yuki without saying a word, and left towards Ryuuichi's old apartment complex. Found a nice place to lie, under the balcony of our old apartment, felt that no one was up yet, and then dug a large pit right there.
I practically fell into my hole, exhausted. And before I reached up to pull the dirt in after me, Yuki climbed in with me, and shoveled the dirt in after us. I hugged him, placing my head on top of his chest as he finished.
And as we lied there until the time came for us, to put us into our sleep, I spoke to him in our silent voice, listening to all the sounds of the world waking up above us, then he thought to me, 'Sleep well, MY fallen singer'
As we lied there I felt more love for him, then any ningen and immortal kedamono I ever knew. I knew I would be able to get through my immortal life, I knew he would be the one that would aid me through all these events. He said nothing, but I read his mind, and I knew he would. I drifted off with my thoughts, playing with Yuki's hair. I began singing one of the songs that I did a demo for as a ningen. With my new abilities, my singing was incredible!
"Destiny is unstoppable. I've tried laughter, I've tried tears, but it always over powers me. It doesn't care a thing about my fears, it takes my love, and it devours me."
...Then my mind became a black pit, like the one I was lying in. but before I lost all consciousness, I heard Yuki say, "You sing great... but the lyrics suck" My body went limp, like Yuki's had, and so I slept.
