Silent Night

Chapter 3

-

Usagi woke to silence. She looked over beside her on her bed and it was empty, Mamoru's head impression on the pillow. Usagi got up and wrapped a robe around herself. Wandering out of her bedroom, she saw Mamoru standing at the window, framed by the moonlight. She padded softly behind him and wrapped her arms around him. Usagi felt Mamoru's hands come up to cup hers.

"What're ya doin'?" Usagi asked sleepily as she rested her cheek against Mamoru's back.

"Couldn't sleep," Mamoru answered.

"I can help you with that," Usagi said as she stood on tiptoe and sunk her teeth into the soft flesh of Mamoru's neck.

-

Usagi shot up in bed, breathing hard. She ran her tongue around her teeth, feeling for fangs. She didn't find any. Arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her down to the bed. Mamoru pulled Usagi close to him and nuzzled her neck.

"Was goin' on?" Mamoru drawled sleepily.

"I just had a bad dream, that's all," Usagi said. "I have to go to the bathroom," she said, and pulled out of Mamoru's arms. She didn't turn on the light, fearing what she'd find.

Entering the bathroom, Usagi closed the door and blindly turned on the light. She almost shrieked at what she saw. Although her fangs hadn't come in, she had turned deathly pale, and her hair had turned silver. Her nails were also long and black. She quickly opened her medicine cabinet and pulled out a bottle of her blood pills. Dry swallowing two, she watched as her appearance returned to normal.

'That hasn't happened before,' Usagi thought to herself. She opened her mouth once more, and satisfied that the pills had worked, she flushed the toilet and turned on the water for two seconds. She then opened the door and turned off the light, feeling her way back to bed. Slipping under the covers, she cuddled close to Mamoru's now sleeping body.

-

Usagi sat in the kitchen with her legs pulled up on the chair and a cup of coffee in her hand. She stared out the window. Mamoru appeared from out of her room, dressed only in boxers. He dropped a kiss on her forehead before grabbing the mug that Usagi had set out for him, and pouring himself some coffee.

"Wanna go to breakfast?" Mamoru asked. Usagi finally turned her head to look at him.

"Not really, I don't feel like getting dressed. If you want, I have some food cubes in the cupboard. You can make some eggs or something," Usagi said, pointing to the cupboard beside the InstaOven. Mamoru nodded and got up. He pulled out bacon and eggs, then turned back to Usagi.

"You want something?" he asked.

"No thanks, I'm not hungry," she said, having turned back to the window.

"Okay, if you say so," he said, popping the small package in the InstaOven and pressing the 'Start' button. 30 seconds later, the beeper went, and Mamoru pulled out a full meal. Grabbing a fork from the holder below the oven, he walked back to the table and dug in.

-

After having seen Mamoru out, Usagi ran to her phone and called her brother.

"Moki! I need to ask you something. Can we meet somewhere?" Usagi asked.

"Uhhh... sure Sis, but if it's about Mamoru, it's perfectly fine for you to date him," Motoki asked.

"It IS about Mamoru, but not about that," Usagi said. "Meet me at the park in 15 minutes," she hung up the phone.

-

Usagi took a taxi to the park, not wanting to find a parking spot, and waited by the front entrance. Motoki showed up 2 minutes after Usagi did.

"Well...?" he asked.

"Not here," she said, dragging him to a spot in the park where rose bushes bloomed around a small lake.

"Well, you see, the thing is..." Usagi said, trying to find the right words to tell her brother that she had slept with his best friend. "Mamoru and I had a 'sleepover' last night, and I had a dream about biting him... I woke up and I had changed except for my teeth. What is that about!?" Usagi asked, frantic to know the answer.

"Well, Usa," Motoki said, thinking. "To be perfectly honest, I have no idea. We should probably go to the library," he concluded. Usagi knew that he, of course, meant the Vampyr library, full of Vampyr literature. She nodded in agreement.

-

Two blonde-headed people entered a shabby establishment and greeted the proprietor. The male asked the owner a question, and was pointed in the direction of the romance section. On the female's face was a look of shock, which stayed there as they wandered to the back of the library.
