Serene Night

He sighed and looked down at his arm. Blood covered it from his shoulder to his fingertips. Bra had hit him good and she'd done it in the form of a Super Saiyan Two. It had shocked him but then Trunks had been the first of them to go Super Saiyan. That Kieran guy had bit him. He had been trying to defend Bra just as much as she was him. He growled deep in his throat. The vampire had drained much of his blood but he wasn't dead and Goten was sure the vampire was. He sighed, knowing they'd all be looking for him. He didn't know where to go but he had to go somewhere. He couldn't stay here in this condition. He was too vulnerable. Goten rose to his feet and began walking around the forest he grew up in. There had to be somewhere he could go.

Kieran opened his eyes at the fall of night. Energy surged through his body as he knew it would. He swung his legs over the side of the couch and walked toward the stairs, finally noticing that his shirt was gone. A grin played on his full lips. Only one person was to blame for his lack of shirt: Bra.

Bra sat at the kitchen table when night fell. The others were in the living room talking about what to do about Goten and Kieran. Bra knew what they would say. Goten could be forgiven because he was part of their huge family but Kieran was a vampire and couldn't be trusted. Tears filled her eyes, knowing that him saving her life so many times wouldn't make up for the fact that he was a night-walking blood sucker.

Over the course of a few nights, she'd fallen for a man she knew nothing about and then had him torn away from her by those she loved. A few tears escaped and rolled down her cheeks just as the basement door opened and Kieran walked into the kitchen. Bra quickly wiped away her tears and looked up at him. He quickly caught on and looked down at her. He walked to her and sat down in a chair at the table.

"What's wrong?" He asked, tucking a few of her hair strands behind her ear. Bra just shook her head.

"Nothing."

"I can read your mind, if you've forgotten already. I'd rather not have to." Bra looked up, more tears rolling down her face.

"They won't let you stay here forever. I know they'll forgive Goten because he's Goku's son but they won't let you stay."

"Why?" He asked, brushing away her tears as they fell.

"Because you're a vampire. You suck blood to survive." Bra closed her eyes as Kieran leaned in and kissed both her cheeks. His heart suddenly filled with dread. In a few nights, he'd have to leave anyway. He couldn't just leave her without a goodbye but it would break that spirit of hers he loved so much, the one that saved his life.

"Bra, I…I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stay, anyway." Her eyes dreadfully met his.

"Why?" She asked, her voice strangled.

"Be---because. Other vampires know how I usually work. I only stay in a certain city for about a week and I leave. In a few nights, another vampire will come here, maybe a coven. They'll expect me to be gone and if I'm not the reason will be investigated. If they find that I'm staying because of a mortal…I'll be killed. I'd rather leave you knowing I could come back than dying because of prejudice." He said, his voice soft but carrying with it hidden pain. "I know you can't wait for my return but just let me think you will." More tears falling, Bra nodded and rested her head against his chest. Taking a deep breath, Kieran held back his tears until they finally fell. He didn't want to leave but either way he'd have to.

"Kieran, do you think you'd ever come back to see me again?" Bra asked still resting against his chest.

"Yes. I wouldn't forget you that easily. I don't forget those I love…" He stopped, realizing what he had just said. Bra seemed to hear it, too. She straightened and looked at him, her eyes searching his.

"You…"

"Bra, I…" She leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. She shifted from her chair to his lap and put her arms around his shoulders, pulling him closer. Kieran put his arms around her waist, his lips pressing hungrily against her own. Bra put one leg on each side of him, grinding her thighs against his hips. He pressed up, the bulge under his jeans pressing up to her.

Bulma walked into the kitchen and froze. Kieran's hands were slowly traveling up Bra's back under the shirt. Gohan followed Bulma and stopped.

"Bra?" Gohan said. Bra and Kieran were pulled from their world and back into reality.

"Bra, this is…you…" Vegeta put a hand on his hip and paced in front of his daughter. He looked down at her, straight into her eyes. "Were you ever like that with Kakarott's brat?"

"No, Dad. We just kissed. Not like that." Bra said. Kieran had been locked in the basement until the others found out what to do with him. "You know, Kieran isn't an animal and he doesn't deserve to be treated like one."

"He was…"

"Daddy, I kissed him! Happy? I was the one to make the first move, not him! He just went along with it!"

"He went a bit too far with it, Honey." Bulma said. "Bra, he is a vampire so he's not too far from an animal."

"What about Saiyans? You treated Dad like an animal when you first met him! Kieran isn't nearly as bad!" Infuriated, Vegeta walked toward her and struck her left cheek. Bra looked up at her father, tears filling her eyes. Vegeta's eyes widened as he realized what he'd done. "Gohan and Videl accept that Pan and Dende are engaged. Why can you accept the fact that I love Kieran?" Bra asked just above a whisper. She rose to her feet and walked out the front door.

Kieran sat down on the couch in the basement. He'd heard everything that had been said and stopped listening when Bra walked out. So, she was in love with him. He needed to get out of here and go to her; however, having to deal with more of that searing fire didn't please him. Kieran sighed and put his head in his hands, leaning over the side of the couch. He knew that he could move faster than a…Saiyan but he couldn't stomach being burned again, especially if he got another hole through his stomach. Warm tears rolled down his cheeks. This was the second set of tears in about five hundred years.

"It seems to me that you need a way to get out of here without being noticed." Kieran looked up to see a man standing before him. This was the man who had saved him and Bra. Goku, his name was.

"How'd you…?"

"Want to get out of here or ask questions?" Goku asked.

"Wont the others get mad at you?" Kieran asked.

"Probably but if I know one thing, I know love knows no reason." Kieran smiled.

Bra sat on the shore of the lake not far from where the Son houses were but it was the farthest she could get without anyone knowing where she had gone. Her knees were drawn up to her chest as she looked down at her reflection in the water. She loved Kieran but she couldn't be with him. Her family wouldn't allow it and he could die for loving her. It wasn't fair.

"Life hardly is fair." Bra looked up to see Kieran walking toward her.

"How did you get out of the basement without anyone knowing?"

"Your friend, Goku." Bra smiled. She got up on her feet and walked toward him. "I, uh, heard what you said before you left. I think I want to hear it directly from you to me, though." Kieran said, running a hand through her teal hair.

"I love you." She said simply.

"I love you." He returned, leaning into her for a kiss. Bra got up slightly on her tip toes and lightly kissed him. His lips traveled lower to her neck and the same spot he'd bitten before. Kieran ran his tongue over his chosen area and slowly sank his teeth into her neck. Bra shuddered at the feeling, her center tingling with anticipation. He suckled for a minute before pulling away and licking his lips.

"If we can't be together, I want to give you something." She said her hands in his hair.

"What?" He asked his voice suddenly heavy and hoarse.

"Me." She kissed him again and pulled him down on the grass with her, straddling him. Bra unzipped Kieran's pants drawing them down to his hips and pulling away her own pants. He put his hands on her hips as she settled herself over him slowly, taking him in. As soon as he was inside, Kieran guided her hips over him. She leaned her head forward, her hair falling around her face. Her heart sped up as he met her every move.

He pulled her down and bit into her neck again, suckling more and more. She felt the climax slowly build and enhanced by both places they were joined until he finally exploded inside her. Not long after, she reached her climax and bit her lip to keep from crying out. Kieran pulled away from her neck and rolled over so Bra was beside him. He helped her pull her pants back up and then he re-did his own. He placed gentle kisses on her lips and forehead while her eyes fluttered closed. Slowly his heartbeat returned to normal as did hers. Kieran took a deep breath and realized what exactly she'd meant. She's given him her virginity, something that women had cherished since his mortality.

He couldn't leave her, not now. She'd already given him more than she had Goten. Kieran looked down into her sleeping face. He kissed her forehead again and pulled her up close to his chest.

"I love you, Bra." He whispered as he closed his eyes and he relaxed against Bra.

"I've always loved you, Kieran." Bra whispered in her sleep. Eyes widened, Kieran looked down at her. Brushing it off, he fell asleep.
