Vampires Don't Cry...

By: Liz and Kate

Summary: Hey! Me again! Sorry for the EXTREMELY Delayed update but I'm kinda banned from the net for a while... This is the new Chapter. Kenta outsmarts Ruki and Ryo, who wind up in a cage themselves... N'uff said... Can't say anymore or I'll give away the whole thing! (Kate was sick today and couldn't write anything, ::Tomatoes hit Liz in the face:: It's not my fault! Honestly!!! It was the food's fault! ... I... gave her rotten food for Christmas... oh... OK! Maybe it was my fault! ::Holds arms in front of her face:: Don't hit me...)



Chapter 5: Colorful Children



*Lee's POV*

He wants to get to know me he says... then why is he letting me hold him? I know he needs comfort but I know before he was going to say he hated me... "Takato...?" I nudge him a little... he moans...



Taking a poke of fun, I run one finger along the inside of his leg... he arches his back a little, sits up and stares straight at me. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"I just wanted to see your reaction... Was it a bad idea?" I ask with a smile.

"Hell yeah, it was! I'm not in love with you yet! I told you I'd get to know you then we'll think about it!" He shouts, "Even if you are cute... and tall... and warm... and nice... and sensitive... and... aw Hell!!!" He plops down in dirt and puts his face in his hands, "What am I gonna do..." A droplet slid between his fingers... He was crying... Suddenly I realized...



I was, too...

"Iie!" I shouted, obviously startling Takato. He stared at me as I wiped the tears from my eyes. "I mustn't..."

"You mustn't... what?" He asks.

"...Cry..." I said. "It's against our policy! If I cry... Arrow will come..."

"Who is Arrow?" He asks.

"Believe me you don't want to know..." I say. "He's our leader, that's all I'll tell you..." We suddenly hear yelling. I reach my hand out through the bars and gave the tarp a tug. It fell to floor so we could watch the whole fiasco.

"Why did you bite him?! H-How?!?!" Ruki screeched.



"Arrow came... took blood from me..." Kazu says. Takato gripped my hand and looked worried... was he worried Arrow would come for me? "I was weak..." I looked and saw the Kenta boy stir a bit. 'That boy is Oroteiyuu, isn't he?' I ask myself.

"But that does NOT explain how you bit him!-" Ruki was cut short...

"I let him!" It was Kenta. I stared in awe... THE Oroteiyuu let a low life vampire like Kazu bite him? Unbelievable...



"Why did you let Kazu bite you?" I asked suddenly. Ruki glares but lets it go.

"Well... I-I wanted t-to sa-save him..." Kenta stuttered.



"What?!" Shouted Ruki and Ryo in Unison.



"Kenta-san...?"Kazu stared, Kenta was backing into a cage... with Ryo and Ruki walking in after him. "Kenta!"

"S-stay back Kazu!" Kenta says. He makes a run between Ryo and Ruki, turns just outside the cage and slams and locks the door, only receiving deep, critical scratches and cuts from the two as they tried to grab him. "I let him bite me because I love him..." He said to the two in the cage. He collapsed on the ground in pain. Kazu ran up to him and cradled his head in his arms. "H-How long til th-their s-souls return?" Kenta could hardly talk. Being so weak... Kazu bit him?

It finally hit me... 'Kazu must have his soul back!' Why else would Kenta let Kazu, of all people, bite him...?

"Well... it'll take Ruki three days but... I'm not sure about Ryo though... Have you bit anyone yet, Ryo?" Kazu asked. His eyes... his soul has returned.

"Why should I tell you?!" Ryo shouted back.



"He hasn't..." Takato said, startling even me. "He was my best friend... I should know..." He glared at Ryo, who pounded on the bars, causing his hand to bleed.

Takato turned toward me. "Takato?" He had tears in his eyes.



"I'm afraid now... What do I do now that I'm like... this?" He asked. He fell forward into my arms and cried. I suddenly felt guilty about teasing him earlier... There was a clink next to us. Kazu pushed the cage door open and I led the crying Takato out of the barred room, to the couch.



"Takato? Daijoubu?" I pulled Takato into my arms... I loved him... He knows it, too... He says he'd give me a chance but... I feel like he's pushing me away rather than trying to get closer to me...

Two days... It's been two friggin' days! It was hard to let Ryo out when he got his soul, because Ruki was still soul-less... soul-less... is that even a word?!?! I think I'm going crazy... yesterday he said he was going think about 'us'... if there was even going to be an us... and he's been away for more than half a day!!! I am beginning to go insane... waiting for him to come up with an answer... If he says yes, then yippee! I've got the perfect lover! But if says no... I think I might stake myself...

"Lee...?" Takato! He's back!

"Yes, takato?" I say as casually as I can...



"Whaaaaaaaacchhhhhhaaaaaa dddooooooiiiiinnnnn?????" Ryo... I could kill him...

"Ryo? Do you value your existence at all?" Kazu asked from the other room.

"Why?" I answered him... I pushed him roughly into the room and slammed the door...

Suddenly Ruki pipped up from the normally quiet cage... "Rainbow... pretty rainbow..." it's only been two days! Is her soul back early? I looked at the cage and, sure enough, a child-form of Ruki was sinking into the yellow-eyed girl. Soon, she was the white-eyed object of Ryo's effection... Ha!!! Good luck buddy...

"Anou... Lee?" Never Takato... Never would I forget you Koi... Stoppit Lee... Bad Lee... Down boy...

"Yes... Takato?" I glare at everybody, who left the room...



"I've decided..." He took a breath... I held mine... "I want..." He paused... "I want... to be with you..."
