Lost Memories – The Sequel to Nightmare Aura

Chapter One

Kei sat at the kitchen table, studying Sho as the new vampire washed the dishes that were practically decaying in the sink. It was merely a month after Kei had turned him into a vampire, yet everything still stayed the same. Well, despite the fact that all of their friends were dead, Chan and Son were dead…and Sho was a vampire. So almost everything was the same.

There were no more fights between the couple about not understanding what Kei had to go through. They understood each other's pain and suffering, helping each other through it all. Although they still had the occasional quarrel about who had the last cigarette or who's turn is was to wash the dishes. Their main problem was Sho's forgetfulness. Twice since Sho had become a vampire, Kei had to pull him out of the sunlight when he had tried to go out for groceries in broad daylight. Sho still hadn't adjusted to not going out in light.

Kei noticed that Sho acted almost exactly the same, but he looked different. He had started to wear his braids down rather than in a ponytail; his skin (although still flawless except for the hard-to-notice bite mark in his neck) was now pale—almost as pale as Kei's; his eyes still had a bit of the childish sparkle, but they had grown much more fierce. Kei missed the mysterious twinkling in Sho's eyes, but he was slowly getting over it.

He watched as Sho sighed, staring out the window to their tiny backyard. Kei knew Sho was staring at Toshi's grave. They had bought a casket and buried Sho's long-time best friend in their backyard. Rather than a tombstone (Kei thought it would haunt Sho too much), they planted dozens of flowers at the head of the casket.

Sho set down the dish he was drying and sighed again. Kei stood up quietly and walked over, bringing Sho into his embrace. He ran his hand up and down Sho's back comfortingly. "It's okay Sho. Everything's going to be okay."

The major problem at the moment? Sho was becoming depressed. And Kei knew it was going to happen, but he couldn't stand watching it take place. He had done everything he could within the past month, but it was no use. It was going to be a tough ride and he knew it, but he was willing to stick by Sho through it all. After all, Luka had stuck by him and after Luka, Sho had stuck by him through it all, too.

"I-I miss them so much, Kei." Sho said, hugging Kei tightly.

"I know you do, Sho-chan. I do too." Kei replied, still running a hand up and down Sho's back softly and lovingly. "But you need to let go. Otherwise it'll hurt—a lot—and it will keep hurting forever." Sho looked at Kei with a look of utmost horror on his face. "You know that I'm not kidding either…Just—if you want to remember them, hold onto your memories of them. Let yourself realize that they aren't coming back."

"But I want to see them again…just one last time." Sho whimpered, resting his head on Kei's shoulder.

"You can see them in your dreams, Sho-chan…Are you mad that I made you like me?" Kei asked with a small smile on his face.

Sho looked up at him. "How can you even ask me that!" He paused. "Of course not!" He said softly, hanging his head. "But—I just can't believe that they're gone…they've always been by me…it's just so different without them here."

"And it will be different until you get you to it," Kei replied, running and hand through Sho's soft hair. Sho looked up at him. "You'll have to get used to the fact that Toshi won't be walking in on us when we're making out on the kitchen table." Sho laughed lightly, remembering that passion-filled day, even though it had begun awkward with Toshi walking in on them making out.

Sho's light-hearted laughs turned to soft sobs as he suddenly broke down, crying into Kei's shoulder. "I miss them so much…" Sho sobbed. Kei was used to the crying by now. For the past month, Sho had cried so often, Kei was almost tired of comforting the new vampire. But if he stopped, he'd lose the careless Sho he loved forever. He would be left with a Sho spiraling deeper and deeper into depression. And he didn't want that. He never wanted that.

"Sho—please pull yourself together." Kei said softly, lifting Sho's head up. "I can't stand to see you like this. It tears me up inside." Sho stopped sobbing, but he sniffed slightly.

"I'm sorry…" Sho said quietly, pulling away from Kei to go back to drying the dishes. "I'm just—it hasn't sunk in yet that they're gone. I keep waiting for them to walk in and just start talking…"

"Sho—please realize that that won't happen anymore." Kei said softly, walking up behind Sho and placing his hands on Sho's broad shoulders. "I know it's tough—"

"I'm just not used to it yet, Kei."

"I know, I know. And it will take time." Kei said, resting his head on Sho's back, sighing softly. He could hear the gentle heartbeat of his lover quicken slightly, which made him happy. "That's why I'm here to help you get through it." Sho turned around quickly; Kei started to fall, but Sho caught him, leaning down and capturing his lips in a soft kiss, a finger tracing down Kei's chest.

"I love you," Sho said as he pulled away, several tears tracing down his pale cheeks. Kei lifted up his thumb, wiping the tears away.

"I love you, too." Kei replied with a smile, running a hand up and down Sho's arm. "You need to remember that everyone you love is gone. Remember that I still love you; I'm still in love with you." He brushed away Sho's bangs from his eyes, letting his fingers trail down the side of Sho's face and neck to rest on his shoulder. "I miss my careless Sho…" Kei brushed his lips past Sho's, adding seductively, "I miss my passionate lover." Sho blushed, an embarrassed smile on his lips. "I miss you."

"I miss me, too." Sho said, making Kei laugh.

"I miss your humor…do I need to go on?" Kei asked.

"Mm hmm." Sho said. "I want you to say everything you miss about me."

"Well, that could take a while." Sho shrugged.

"We've got the time, I'm sure of it." Kei grinned.

"Okay…hmm…I miss your childish charm and that sparkle in your eyes that tell me you're still a child at heart," Sho laughed. "I miss your warm embrace—" Sho was about to protest, but Kei continued, "I mean when we're pinned together by your warm arms…" Kei gently grabbed Sho's hand, slowly bringing it to his lips and kissing the back of it softly and tenderly. "I miss your hugs in general…our passionate kisses I miss the most. I miss your hot, writhing body un—" Sho pressed his lips to Kei's, wrapping his arms tightly around the shorter vampire, pinning him against his chest. Sho slid his tongue stealthily into Kei's waiting mouth, tracing it over Kei's perfect teeth until he came in contact with the vampire's tongue. Kei's wandering hands found the edge of Sho's skin-tight black shirt. He traced his hand up and down Sho's bare chest. After a few minutes, Sho pulled away softly, a smile on his face.

"Mmm…I've missed that so much," Kei said, his hand still tracing down Sho's chest.

"Me too," Sho breathed. Kei noticed that his pale cheeks were now tinted a light pink—something he had never noticed before.

"So please can you try to be less depressed?" Kei asked. "It'll make me so much happier…"

"I'll try as hard as I can," Sho replied, pulling away and beginning to put the dishes away.

"Good." Kei said softly, resuming his position at the kitchen table. Things are certainly changing between us, Kei thought, smiling. Sho walked past, leaning down and kissing him on the cheek, a smile on his soft lips. Maybe tomorrow night I'll take you to the park…You do need to do it on your own sooner or later. I can't always do it for you.

"Kei—is it a bad sign if I suddenly feel utterly weak?" Sho asked suddenly a few minutes later, breaking through Kei's train of thought. Kei blinked, refocusing his vision. Sho was kneeling on the floor next to the table, both of his hands pressed to his forehead. "K-Kei?" Kei kneeled down in front of Sho, gently taking Sho's hands and holding them tightly. He didn't want to scare Sho off.

"Sho," Kei said, staring at the dizzy vampire. Sho had his eyes closed tightly. "Look at me, Sho." Sho opened his eyes and stared at him. "You need blood." He said simply. "We'll go to the park—look at me." Kei said sternly. Sho's gaze had wandered to the far wall, but it snapped back to Kei; he looked hurt. "It isn't easy for me to say this Sho, I need your attention."

"Sorry." Sho mumbled.

"We'll go to the park…you need to do it on your own anyway."

"Wh-WHAT!" Sho said, shocked. He grabbed Kei's shoulder in disbelief (and dizziness). "Kei—I can't! I'm too weak to—"

"It doesn't matter if you're too weak! You're not getting out of it, no matter what."

"What if I die!" Kei rolled his eyes. "What if I faint?"

"Then that's a different scenario. But no, I'd do it for you." Sho suddenly held his breath. "…That's not going to work. You don't need to breathe."

"Damn," Sho coughed, breathing deeply even though he didn't need to. "Kei—I can't do it! You've gotten the bodies for me before."

"It'll come naturally, don't worry," Kei said, softly kissing the back of Sho's hands. "Sho—come on!" Kei said, pulling Sho to his feet. He managed to pull him all the way out to their broken mailbox—which was what Sho was clinging onto for dear life. "Sho—what if I promised you something afterwards?" He whispered seductively. Sho stared at him for a moment.

"What is this 'something'?" Sho asked.

Kei smiled a mysterious smile. "I'm not allowed to reveal what it is yet." Sho looked away.

"I don't trust you." Sho said softly.

"What, do you mean about the 'something' or—"

"I…don't trust you…" Sho said quietly, his words tapering off. Kei stood there for a moment, letting the words sink in slowly.

Softly, as though the words meant nothing to him, Kei pulled Sho away from the mailbox and faced him. Tears were in Sho's eyes. He looked pathetic and guilty about what he had just said. Kei pulled Sho close and pressed their lips together softly. He slid his tongue into Sho's warm mouth, tracing over his teeth, careful not to cut his tongue on the now-pointed canines. Kei pulled away slowly, letting the kiss linger on Sho's lips.

"Trust me," Kei purred softly, resting his head on Sho's shoulder. "Like you used to…" Sho nodded, still caught up in the kiss.

"Okay…" Sho breathed. Kei lifted his head up off of Sho's shoulder, smiling softly. "I trust you…" He paused. "I love you." Kei put a hand on Sho's cheek.

"I love you, too." Kei replied, gently taking Sho's hand within his own and walking in the direction of the park……

Did you ever notice that all of the sequels begin with 'Kei sat'? I just realized that. XD Maybe Sho needs a turn to be loved at the beginning of a sequel…nah. He started this whole fic. He should be happy (if he were real, sadly, he is not. ;-;).

And did all of you know that apparently TMR is a man-woman? According to my mom. I've got a poster of him on the back of my door and she finally asked me one day, "Who's that man-woman on the back of your door?" XD Me: "That's TMR. He's definitely a man."

I was watching the Simpsons the other day and Marge made a comment about not liking the Cathy comics in the newspaper and Homer thinks Cathy's a man, so he says, "Oh sure! When a man does it, it's smutty. But when a woman does it…" And I started laughing…because we all know it's true. XD

And I laughed to myself this morning when I noticed that the major headline of the newspaper had the word "smut" in it. It was like, "Antispam registry to protect kids from smut". Well, all my of spams are addressed to Mana, so I got nothing to worry about. Oh, you didn't know? Mana's living in my basement. Yeah, I found out one Saturday night when I found several e-mails addressed to him…and then when I found him over by my furnace. He ran away from Japan/France (or wherever he was at…) because he was sad that Juka was leaving m10m…and then Klaha found his way here…(and Mana had three affairs on his way here, trying to get over Juka leaving. He went to therapy a few weeks ago…) So…yeah. Review please!
