The Answer To Her Prayers
Chapter Eight
By: Kagome13
Battousai didn't know what to tell her. Should he have told her that, since she had lost so much blood that she would have surely died from it, therefore what he had done was necessary? He had been forced to change her into a vampire to save her life.
"What did you do to me?'' she asked again, this time with worry laced in her voice.
He looked her straight in the eyes. He stared long and hard into those sapphire orbs. Inside he was having a mental battle. One side of him knew that he should tell her the truth, the other side was afraid that she would run away from him that would be his worst nightmare.
"I turned you into a vampire.'' Battousai said with a monotone voice.
"Why? How?'' Kaoru questioned.
"You lost much blood, when you were attacked. I had to save you, somehow.'' he said as he put a hand on her cheek, with his hand on her cheek, her body tingled with pleasure. His hand was warm to her flesh. Her body felt like it had some sort of calling for something, but she didn' t know what. Slowly tears started to form in her eyes, as she did not want to believe him.
"No.'' she said in deny.
She walked out of his embrace. She looked into his eyes. They showed fear. Fear that she would reject him. He looked into her eyes. Those sapphire orbs were filled with unshed tears. Kaoru turned away from him. She started to walk towards the door
She then said "I need to be left alone for a while.'' Then she walked out of the bedroom. He heard her run down the stairs and out of the house.
He leaned against the wall. He felt like crap. The only woman he wanted to call his own, had just ran away from him. Battousai's eyes started to feel with tears. He allowed one and then two of the blood tears to fall down his cheek, before Sano walked in the door.
Sano strode into the room and saw Battousai leaning against the wall, lifeless eyes staring back at him. He looked like crapped, period.
"What's wrong with you?'' Sano asked curiously.
"I told Kaoru that I turned her into a vampire.'' Battousai said gloomily
"Why did you?''
"Because I drank her blood.''
"You could have erased her memory.'' Sano said
"I wanted her to trust me, damn it.'' Battousai yelled angrily, punching the wall, making a hole.
"Okay, then why don't you go bring her back, future mates don't runaway, unless they want to be captured.'' Sano said with humor in his voice, trying to make the situation better, with all the gloominess going around them.
"I will, but she wants to be left alone for a bit.'' Battousai said, sighing
"Oh.''
Kaoru ran blindly, not caring of where she was going, she just wanted to get away, away from him. She found herself in her front of her father's gravestone. It read "Eric Kamiya. Beloved husband and father.''
"Papa, I miss you.'' Kaoru said as she touched the cold stone, gently running her fingers across the gray cold material.
"I'm scared of this man, but then I'm not. He saved me from death, but now I am no longer human
"I know that sounds weird, but I'm a vampire now. The man I met has beautiful long red hair and gorgeous amber eyes. He too is a vampire. He is the one that did this to me, but that is the truth. Somehow, when I am with him, he makes me smile, and my heart yearns for something, I do not understand.'' Kaoru said as her eyes began to water.
"I think I am in love with him.
Kaoru felt a presence behind her, and turned around. It was Battousai just standing there. In his eyes, agony was the only emotion that showed in his amber orbs.
"Kaoru''
"Battousai'' Kaoru she stood up and walked towards him.
"I'm going to tell you the truth. I could have let you down. But I didn't. I wanted you to my mate, someone to call my own, and someone to raise a family with.'' Battousai said as he drew Kaoru into his arms
"Oh.'' Surprised and happy with what he had said.
"I love you, Kaoru. I have always loved you, since the moment, I saw you.'' Battousai said as he played with a piece of her hair.
He slowly leaned his head down and gently kissed her on the forehead. Then he trailed down to her cheek and then to her nose.
"I will love you forever.'' he said as he looked her in the eyes. He then gently kissed her on the lips.
His kiss, made Kaoru shiver in pleasure. Once they were done they drew in there breaths, both panting. Kaoru looked him in the eye and said back "I love you too.''
