Chapter 4: The Hero In Me
The crimson-eyed vampire had just exited the allies, and he couldn't help but think about that amber-eyed teen that he had met back there. He seemed so innocent and defenseless. (I sure hope he went straight home like I told him to, otherwise who knows what might...) Kai's thoughts were disrupted when he heard a shrill cry coming from back in the allies. He quickly spun around and headed back in that direction.
A small group of vampires encircled Rei, licking their lips hungrily, as they watched Rei who was currently unconscious on the ground. "Let's just finish him off already!" a short, green-haired vampire suggested, for the fifth time. "No Kevin!" a pink-haired vampire known as Mariah, snapped. "We all agreed that he's a present for our leader." "Well, I didn't agree," Kevin, mumbled under his breath. "Hey! Speaking of leader, here he is now!" one of the other vampires pointed out. The vampires broke their circle, in order to let their leader see his 'present.'
"Lei!" the pink-haired vampire cried, cheerfully. "Mariah," Lei nodded, acknowledging her presence. He was clad in a leather trench coat, and black jeans. He walked up to Mariah and they shared a short kiss, before Lei pulled away. "Why have you all brought me here," he demanded, his tawny- colored eyes glaring from one vampire to the next. "I haven't time to waste you know," he continued. "Whatever you brought me here for, it had better be important...or else." "Lei," Mariah spoke up, "We got you a present," she said, pointing to Rei's unconscious form on the ground. "Do you like it?"
Lei peered down at the unconscious boy, smirking. "Well, well, well," he laughed. "Look what we have here." The others watched as Lei leant down over Rei's body, studying his face. "Oww! Nice present guys!" he said, grinning. "You got me a cute one!" "Grrr! Forget his looks!" Kevin snapped, bitterly. "He's a human, meaning he's food for us! So bite him and then give us a taste. I'm starving here!" he finished. "I agree, the sooner he's died, the better!" Mariah grumbled, slightly annoyed that this mere human had gotten the attention of *her* koi.
"Okay then," said Lei. "If you insist." Everyone nodded. Lei smiled, a dangerous glint in his eyes. He leant down over Rei's body, by now, Lei was practically on top of him, his fangs dripping with saliva. Much to Mariah's disgust, Lei kissed Rei's cold lips, until Mariah cleared her throat loudly. Lei sighed mentally, sometimes his girlfriend could be so jealous! Didn't she see that he just wanted to play with his present? Oh well, Mariah's personality and good looks were what attracted Lei to her in the first place.
Using his rough tongue, Lei licked Rei's neck twice, secretly wishing he could have kept the unconscious kid for a little longer. But, he knew his group was counting on him. He lowered his fangs to Rei's neck and bit down. His teeth barely pierced through Rei's skin, before he was pushed off of him.
"What the..." Lei shouted out of frustration. He looked up to see someone standing over him. "Kai!" he breathed. "Still picking on helpless kids, huh Lei?" Kai teased. "Ya know you haven't changed one bit since I last saw you." At those words Lei immediately tensed in anger, and Kai just smirked, knowing that he was pissing Lei off. "This is none of your business! Why don't you just fuck off, alright?" Lei spat. "Not until you leave the kid alone, and crawl back under the piece of shit you came from," Kai retorted.
"Why do you care about this kid anyway?" Kevin piped in. "He's only a human!" "No one deserves to die at the hands of you," Kai said bluntly, but his answer was directed more to Lei than anyone else. Lei had had enough. He stood up in front of Kai, though he was slightly shorter. Their faces were only inches apart. Lei gave a low growl, indicating that he was ready to fight. Kai realized this and said, "Don't do anything you'll regret later, Lei. I've grown a lot stronger since our last encounter." "So have I," Lei sneered. Kai's crimson eyes pierced into Lei's tawny-colored ones. They held each other in their stare, both not wanting to let the other win. Finally, Lei broke the eye contact by turning his head to look at Rei who was still on the ground. Lei looked back at Kai, then walked over to his group.
"This is a waste of our time," he told them loudly so that Kai could hear. "Let's go!" Lei and his group began to walk away. "Oh, and uh...Kai," said Lei looking over his shoulder. "When he wakes up, tell your little friend he hasn't seen the last of us. He will suffer, and so will you if you get in my way, again." Lei began to laugh, his group soon joined in.
Kai watched as Lei and his group disappeared out of the allies. He then turned to the still unconscious Rei, and knelt down beside him. Kai had to admit he was worried about this kid, though he didn't know why. "Hey kid, wake up!" he whispered quietly, as he gently tapped Rei's face trying to make him regain consciousness. Unfortunately, it wasn't working. "Rei, come on. Please wake up," Kai begged desperately, as he tried to shake Rei awake. Slowly Rei's eyes fluttered open. "You okay?" the crimson-eyed boy asked him, softly. Rei groaned and sat up. "I'm fine...I think." Kai let out a sigh of relief.
"K-Kai," Rei began. "Y-you, you saved me...why?" Kai was completely caught off guard by this. "To tell you the truth, I-I don't know why I did it," he confessed, lowering his gaze to the ground. "Thanks for doing it anyway," Rei smiled. "No prob," Kai said quietly.
Rei began to rub the side of his neck with his hand. This alarmed Kai slightly, "Let me see," he demanded, removing Rei's hand. "Was I..." began Rei. "Bitten?" Kai finished his sentence. "It doesn't look like it. He did cut you though. But, as long as Lei didn't take any of your blood, it doesn't count."
"Who's Lei? And what do you mean it doesn't count?" Rei blurted out. Kai sighed, and looked away. "Well, if a vampire bites you, and takes any amount of blood from you, you have a very large chance of either dying or becoming one yourself. But, because you weren't actually bitten and no amount of blood was taken from you, you should be fine," Kai informed him. "And about this Lei guy?" the amber-eyed boy raised an eyebrow. "He's the leader of a very dangerous group of vampires," Kai explained. "They've killed hundreds of people throughout years, and as you've seen tonight, they don't care if you're innocent or not," Kai finished.
"How do you know Lei anyway?" Rei inquired. "I-it's a long story," was Kai's only reply. "I'm willing to listen," Rei offered. "Uh, I'll tell you when the time comes," Kai answered. "But the bastered almost killed me! I wanna know who he is right now!" Rei said angrily. "You know, you sure ask a lot of questions. Why don't you give me a turn?" Kai suggested, suddenly seeming angry himself. "Go ahead," Rei grumbled. "Well first off, why didn't you just go home like I told you to? Then you wouldn't have run into those jackasses!" Kai lectured.
Rei looked shocked for a moment, his mouth dropped slightly. "You're blaming me?! I *was* going home! Till those guys snuck up on me!" There was a brief pause. "Listen kid," began Kai, quietly. "I don't know how to tell you this, but you haven't seen the last of them." "What do you mean?" Rei asked, nervously. "Now, that you know about vampires, Lei and his group are gonna want you to keep your mouth shut. And, they know that the best way to do that would be to...kill you. You're lucky that I saved you today, but I can't promise to be there all the time," Kai finished.
"So then what exactly are you trying to tell me?" Rei asked, knowing that there was much more to what Kai was trying to say. Kai sighed. "I'm prepared to give you the choice I never had. You can either go back to living your normal life, in hope that you won't run into any more vampires. Or I can convert you into a vampire for your own protection." Rei opened his mouth to speak but Kai quickly cut him off.
"You really should think about this offer, Rei. There are consequences as well as benefits to becoming a vampire. Let me know your answer tomorrow." Kai told him. Rei's gaze fell to the floor, a worried look evident on his face. Kai felt kinda bad for Rei. He knew he had put the raven-haired boy on the spot, and he didn't want Rei to become even more upset, especially after all that had happened that night. Kai leaned closer to the amber-eyed teen, as if he was going to kiss him on the lips. But, he quickly changed his mind. "See ya," he whispered to Rei, before running off.
Rei waved as he watched the crimson-eyed boy leave the allies. Soon he too headed home. Rei knew he had a huge decision to make, one that would affect him for the rest of his life.
Darn! This chapter wasn't suppose to end this way. It's not bad or anything, but it just wasn't suppose to be like this. *Sighs* oh well.
Hey, I don't know if I told you this or not, but this fic might turn out to be pretty long. Maybe like twenty chapters, or even more! And, don't worry, this story *does* have a plot. Just a warning, the next chapters are gonna be kinda sad, but then again this is a romance/angst fic right? Right! So that means it's allowed to be sad hehe. But that doesn't mean it'll be a sad ending. Wait! Why am I still talking, I don't wanna give away the end of the fic! Well, I better get going before I say something to completely give away the plot. Chow!
P.S. The more you review the faster I'll update! ^_^ And, I'm out. *Logs off fanfiction. Goes to porn site. "Hey! Mind your own business!* Just kidding! hehe! (No, honestly. I was kidding about the porn stuff)
