Chapter:5
Author's Note: I feel like some parts of this chapter was a bit crappy. I'd like to state also that you will see attitude's changing. I hope we all didn't forget Sephiroth truly isn't some wonderful sweet-hearted man. Shame on you if you thought that! Note to the queasy people, there is blood in this chapter. Now that all that's needed to be said is said, on to chapter 5, An Unforgettable Sunset.

Tifa sat there upon the steps of the back porch and watched as the sun drifted slowly, but surely, away from the sky. The sky was filled with vibrant shades of orange, red, pink, and yellow. As she watched, thoughts ran through her mind, thoughts she never even considered in the past. Allowing Sephiroth to transform her into the beautiful creature entitled a vampire was a matter more serious than she realized in the previous hours. If Tifa should become a vampire at the hands of Sephiroth, those sunsets, so unreal and beautiful like paintings, could kill her, that ocean of mysteries and dreams, will mean nothing.

An almost unheard door creaked open as the final part of the sun dived beneath the horizon, and out slid the silhouette of Sephiroth. He was so quiet that none of his movements were audible to Tifa's fragile ears. She sighed softly, watching the sky, which was missing the golden circle, as Sephiroth stood there behind her, he was no longer in danger of that fireball.  He stood silently for a few minutes, and then placed his hands amongst her shoulders and rubbed them lightly, waiting for that gorgeous melody to escape her lips.

"Sephiroth..." she started.

"Yes my dear?" was his response.

"I've made a decision," she paused for a moment, "You may take me…"

"Excellent," he responded as his hands abandoned her shoulders.

Tifa stood from the steps that she had been sitting on, and proceeded into the kitchen with Sephiroth. He came to a halt when those four walls that formed a cube surrounded them both. He turned to face the angel, and sinister grin appeared on his magnificent lips. His left hand moved over to his right. On the thumb of his left hand was an odd ring with a part that came out on the nail side that resembled a bottle opened almost. It was smothered in the color of silver, and was sharp enough to break the skin easily. He pushed the sharp end of the ring on the wrist of his right hand, creating a small wound that good enough for the right amount of blood to be released. He edged his wounded wrist to the lips of Tifa, and instructed her on what to do.

"Taste it," he spoke softly.

Tifa placed her lips on the sides of his wrist and allowed the blood of a vampire seep into her mouth. It had the most luscious flavor to it, and every drip that went into her mouth made her desire the taste of that crimson liquid more and more. She never thought such a crimson fluid could bring such temptations. She began to suck upon his wrist, attempting to get more of her new favorite dish. As she sucked, fangs began to form, but only a little. The transformation of a vampire wasn't something that happened in two seconds, her fangs would be ready to help with her appetite within a day or two's worth. Maybe even longer.

Sephiroth had withdrawn his arm from the transforming beauty, he couldn't allow her to take too much of it. Her crimson pools glanced up into his emerald shaded orbs as a frown smacked her in the face. She wanted more, that was no where near enough for her.

"You may drink later," he said.

"But I want it now," she responded in a depressed tone.

"You may not complain. No talking back to me falls under that rule also," he told her as his hand grasped a hold of her chin gently and looked into her eyes.

"Why not?" she questioned him.

"Now that you are my mate, you must have respect for me dear," he answered as he removed his hand from her chin and grinned slyly.

"What if I do not respect you?" a second question slipped out of her lips.

"Well then, you'll just have to pay some painful consequences you earned yourself, any more questions?" he asked.

"No," was her response at first, "Actually, may I go to my room?" she said.

"Fine by me," came out of his mouth as he exited into the quarters of his own bedroom.

 She exited the kitchen and went into her empty bedroom. Had she made a bad mistake? She hoped Sephiroth's attitude would soon adjust back into his kind self. She didn't like this jackass version of him; it made her feel the need to run away from this horrid household. It might not of been long time that she had known him, but she felt in love with that soft side of his.

Author's Notes: Did you enjoy chapter 5? I love writing cliffhangers. It's so fun to tease you guys. It's a shame I didn't finish this last night because I was in the greatest writing mood ever. I felt like writing 20 typed pages of my fan fictions.  If you did, that's great. If you didn't, please tell me why. Compliments and suggestions are welcomed with open arms, if you hate the story, please don't flame me like a retard and say "omfg this story sux," or that will just royally piss me off. I don't think I need to worry about that, you guys seem like a good crowd of reviewers. Thankies! Review and I'll love you!
