Chapter 2 – Close Call
Same warnings as before
Yuki woke up, darkness surrounding him. He tried to sit up but failed, his body was against him, and refused to move unless it had its well deserved rest. He racked his brain for knowledge of the past previous hours………….blank….nothing…he couldn't remember anything that had happened. He looked around at his surroundings. He saw that he was in a small room, curtains drawn together, blowing in the wind coming through the open window. Car horns and people could be heard outside.
'Must be still on earth' Yuki thought
He sighed as he closed his eyes. He heard the door open and a figure move about quietly. Was it a demon? Thoughts racked around his head as he decided what to do. He heard a click and figured the light must have been turned on. Fingers racked through his hair, uncovering his eyes. A wet cloth was placed on his forehead, which seemed to cool and calm him down. The intruder started humming, which then turned into quiet singing. Yuki thought they had the most beautiful voice. He wished to open his eyes to see who the voice belonged to but realised he didnt have the strength, and was gently lulled to sleep by the voice of a stranger, who was stroking his gently.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aizawa, what happened to Ma" a voice in the shadows asked
"Those bastard angels killed him!" An angry voice called out.
Two figures stood in a dark forest. The perfect place for demons to meet, it was secret and they wouldnt be disturbed. Plus the fact it was covered by a spell to stop the angels from knowing their location.
"Aizawa, what are we gonna do? Our ranks are running low. the angels keep getting them..." he said
"We're getting careless you mean!" Aizawa shouted, walking past the man and leaning against a tree, 2Ken, I saw the whole thing! Ma picked an angel to feed on, we can tell and angel from a mile away! How did this happen!"
Ken stood there in silence, not knowing what to say.
"I saw a kid help him! I know where they went, and i tell you what, Ken! Im having my revenge! Are you with me or not?" Aizawa practically yelled, showing off his fangs, which glowed in the moonlight.
Ken, who was best friends with Ma, let the rage of losing his friend over take him and nodded at Aizawa as they disappeared into the night, dead set on revenge.

A boy, by the name of Shuichi, walked into the kitchen, humming the tune to himself. He placed the bowl filled with water in the sink and set to making lunch. He heard a small thud from the bedroom
'Looks like sleeping beauty has finally risen' He thought
He blushed at the thought of this statement. Sure he thought the angel was cute, ok, good looking, ok fine, drop dead gorgeous. He knew the rules of this job and he sure wasnt going to break them. He was shocked to find out that the angel had been bitten, by a vampire no less! This was bad, Yuki would have to be banished, his wings clipped and sent to the farplane limbo, a place where monsters are sent once captured. He wouldnt let that happen to Yuki. He would hide him here until he knew what to do.
He had placed a spell around the walls to protect his location from the angels. If they found him, he'd be in trouble as well but he didnt really care about ...
THUMP
'Ok that was loud, whats he doing in there?' He dried his hands with a tea towel and walked into the bedroom. He gasped at the sight in front of him.
Yuki was awake all right, he was on the floor groaning, trying his best to stand up.
"Yuki!" Shuichi cried out, rushing to his feet.
He was too busy trying to help Yuki stand that he didnt see Aizawa approaching him.
SMACK
Shuichi fell to the floor clutching his cheek, ears threatening to fall out of his eyes. His cheek stung. He'd never been hit before, and never that hard. The force made his vision blurred and lost conciousness. His body slumped to the floor.
Aizawa walked bac to Yuki and lifted him up, he looked at the side of his neck
'Nice going Ma' Aizawa grinned
He leaned in closer so that he knew Yuki would hear him. "You know whats happening Yuki? You're turning into one of us"
With that statement, Yuki's eyes grew wide. 'Oh my god' He thought, as the previous few hours came back to him. His mission, the monster, those piercing eyes. He had been bitten, been made impure, and never to return to heaven if they found out about this, which was certain, they know everything.
"Sooner or later, the thirst will over come you, and it will drive you mad" Aizawa continued, he turned Yuki's head towards Shuichi. "You will feed off your rescuer"
Aizawa let go off Yuki, who fell to his knees, making a soft thud on the floorboards. He held his head in his hands, everything he had said was true, he was the very monster he had trained to defeat. He looked up and saw that Aizawa had escaped. He crawled next to Shuichi, plulling him into his lap, his world had gone for good, to bad, to shit, to worse.
He placed a hand on his neck, the wound was slowly healing, but the stain upon his life was clearly visable. He had become...a vampire...a creature of the night. He shook his head.
'Calm Down Eiri, this is a bad dream, you and Tohma went drinking and you fell and now you're dreaming' He thought
These sort of thoughts where interrupted by a small groan. The boy was getting up. His eyes fluttered and shot open as soon as he realised what had happened. He quickly summoned his crossbow and franticaly looked around.
"Relax" Yuki said "They left about 5 minutes ago"
"What happened? Did they..." Shuichi asked
"No they didnt touch me, or hurt me or...bite me" Yuki looked down at that last statement, but looked up again 2So who are you?"
"My names Shuichi and im your new partner" He said smiling, his purple orbs twinkling
"Whatever" Yuki scoffed getting up and walking out of the room
"Hey, dont you know its rude to walk away from people when they are taking to you!" Shuichi stormed after him
"Well yes, but im gonna do it anyw..." He turned round and for some reason paided mroe attention to what the kid was wearing. An orange tank top with green shorts. It wasnt exactly the clothing he was interested in, it was what the clothing was showing off. His pale skin was glowing in the moonlight, and you could see the cures of his neck. Something took over Yuki and he walked over towards Shuichi and circled him, like a monster hunts its prey.
Shiuchi shivered at the way Yuki was looking at him. Yuki stood still when he was at the back of Shuichi, letting his fingers run up and down his arms.
"W..w..What are you...?" Shuichi stuttered but was cut short by yuki shushing him.
Yuki lowered his head to his neck, Shuichi could feel his warm breath and the goosebumps that he had made. Shivers run through his whole body.
"You look good enough to eat" Yuki smirked, placing his lips on Shuichi's neck
Shuichi closed his eyes and leaned back into Yuki. He knew it was wrong, but it was like Yuki had some sort of hold over him.
Yuki opened his mouth and fangs appeared, glistening in the moons light. He lowered his head, prepared to bite.
"Yuki" Shuichi moaned
This brought him back to reality. His eyes snapped wide open, and he pushed Shuichi off him.
"W..what?" Shuichi asked, shaking his head "What just happened?"
Yuki ran into the room he was in before, slammed the door and locked it.
'This is serious' He thought, listening to the banging shuichi made on the door. 'I need help'
He searched his brain for possible outcomes and came up with one.
Tohma.
