Beginnings

Kiyami: Happy ending. Mmhmm…Gave you two chapters since I don't know if I'll be able to update once more.

Disclaimer: I do not own Tennis no Oujisama.

Fuji stared at Tezuka's face. His mind was overloaded with conflicting solutions to this problem. He loved Tezuka, but was it enough to let Tezuka die peacefully? Or would the choice to keep Tezuka forever dominate over the first one.

Blood tears streamed down his face. Tezuka lifted a shaky hand to wipe them away.

"W-would you stop c-crying? It's a-annoying." Tezuka grunted. The pain was becoming unbearable.

"Ten-chan…" Fuji stared at the ground. He wasn't sure what to do.

"Ten-chan…I…" Fuji stopped.

"What?"

"Would you live forever for me? Let me…let me turn you into a vampire." Fuji's eyes were wide open staring at Tezuka.

Tezuka looked at the ground. He wasn't a big fan of living forever and drinking blood seemed so primitive. But the feelings were starting to get overwhelming. He knew he had feelings for Fuji, but he never realized how much. Perhaps it was Ten-chan who influenced this love at first sight thing, but whatever it was Tezuka knew one thing.

He didn't want to admit it publically, but he had no choice. It was now or never.

"Fuji, I l-lo…" Tezuka was cut off as pain shot through his body. The katana had moved.

Once the pain had ended Tezuka sighed. "Get it o-over with."

Fuji carefully went next to Tezuka. Tezuka had lost enough blood so there would be no need to suck his.

"Hold on…I'm going to take out the blade. I don't want you to heal with it still in you."

Fuji carefully guided the rusty katana out of Tezuka. He had kept the sounds of pain to a bare minimum. Fuji used the keen edge and slashed his own wrist. He brought the bleeding wrist to Tezuka.

Tezuka closed his eyes and slowly started to drink the cold, sweet, but oddly spicy blood. Soon he found himself losing consciousness and blacking out.

"So…What were you saying before you got turned, Ten-chan?" Fuji smiled at Tezuka.

"Nothing."

"Let's visit Momo and Ryoma. I bet they're worried about us." Fuji watched Tezuka read.

"We can't."

"Why not? They're our friends. We can stop their worrying."

"Think about it, Fuji, you should know better...We're differenet."

"Ten-chan..."

"Hn?"

"Do you love me?"

Tezuka looked up from the book he was reading. He gave an annoyed look and went back to reading. Fuji sighed and noticably stretched out on the couch.

"Do you have to keep on reading? Let's go out. It's such a lovely day."

"I rather not get burned."

"Come on, Ten-chan, please?"

"No, stop calling me that too."

"If we go to the beach than I will." Fuji took the book from Tezuka's hands.

"Fine."

"Yes! I'll be ready in twenty minutes, Kuni-chan!"

Tezuka sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. This was going to be a long eternity.

Kiyami: Three fanfics have been planned for this universe.

Sequel to Bloody Cactus - Focuses around Tezuka and Fuji. Plotless antics showing their relationship. In other words I stopped thinking before I could write down a suitable idea.

Sidestory to Bloody Cactus - Focuses on Inui and Kaidoh. About their adventures as paranormal invesitgators/supernatural hunters. Expect lots of Clingy-Scared-Kaidoh. I have yet to think of a reason why Kaidoh would even do work like this.

The Other Sequel to Bloody Cactus - About Mizuki and Yuuta. A lot like the sequel with Tezuka and Fuji except Mizuki has problems. There is no way you can have no enemies acting like that, Mizuki...-cough- Poor, poor Yuuta...
