Chapter Two: Explanations.

Yuki was frustrated. This rose was confusing as hell. The flames would turn different colors all the time. It had been two days since his run in with Hatsuharu, and this was getting on his nerves. Yuki decided he'd ask Akito about this. Yuki went over to Akito's apartment after school and rung the doorbell. Akito answered and he let Yuki in, Kyo was out buying groceries.

"What brings you here?"asked Akito.

Yuki took out the rose.

"This, it's confusing me. I met this guy two days ago and he gave it to me, as far as I can tell, it's harmless, except the flames change colors."said Yuki.

"I see. Well Yuki, did this guy have fangs?"asked Akito.

"Yeah, why?"asked Yuki.

"I've read enough books to tell you that he wasn't human. He's a vampire."said Akito.

Yuki gasped, Akito had always been obsessive over supernatural beings. He owned every book on them, so he probably knew what he was talking about.

"How did he come out during the day!"exclaimed Yuki.

"He's a day walker, not very common, but I'm positive he is a vampire. You see Yuki, vampires each hold a gift to give to their mate. It all depends on their personality. The Black Rose On Fire is the gift of a romantic vampire, and because most vampires aren't romantic vampires, it's an extremely rare gift. You should count yourself lucky to have received such a gift."said Akito.

"I'm his mate!"exclaimed Yuki.

"I'm guessing so."said Akito.

"Ok...what the hell am I supposed to do? Birth his child! That's physically impossible!"screamed Yuki.

"Yuki, don't be ridiculous. Vampires don't mate for children, they mate to lose their virginity, love that person until the day they die, and be happy. You just happened to have the blood and scent of his mate."said Akito.

Yuki looked at the rose in deep thought.

"Now, I know I have a book on the gifts of vampires, so hold on."said Akito.

Akito grabbed a large book, wiping off the dusty cover and he turned the pages to the Black Rose On Fire.

"Here it is. The Black Rose On Fire is the gift of a romantic vampire, symbolizing a burning passion of a fragile soul. It can not burn anyone, and the only time it will burn up the rose is if the mate rejects the vampire. If the mate rejects a vampire who holds this gift, the vampire will die a virgin, and will immediately burn into a painful slow death. The rose's flames change colors, based on the mates mood. Blue: lonely and cold, Red: Curious, Orange: Angry, Yellow: Happy, Green: Jealous, Purple: Heartbroken, Pink: Love, White: Ecstacy, Grey: Calm/serene, Black: Sad, Silver: Aroused, Gold: Overjoyed, and Rainbow: Complete and total love."said Akito.

"Ok, now it makes a little more sense. But how in this hell of a world am I supposed to find him? And what the hell do I do if I don't like him?"asked Yuki.

"He will gladly die if you reject him Yuki. Being a romantic vampire, means that he is still a virgin until he meets his one and only mate. And he will never force you into sex or anything like that. As for finding him, you're on your own, but I'm sure he'll come looking for you. Everything is up to you."said Akito.

"What happens if we get together and then later on I fall out of love with him?"asked Yuki.

"First of all Yuki, his appearance will never change, and once you do mate with him, you become immortal and don't age anymore, but you will not be a vampire. And next, he'd die if you cheated on him or fell out of love with him."said Akito.

"What if I was forced by someone else while still with him?"asked Yuki.

"He'd murder the poor son of a bitch and then reclaim you."said Akito.

Yuki sighed and sat down.

"Life just can never be simple, can it?"said Yuki.

"Not when you're a vampire's mate, or you're a teenager. And you're both."said Akito.

"Yeah...I guess I'll have to think about this."said Yuki.

"You've got time."said Akito.

Yuki put the rose in his pocket and he went back to his own apartment, falling into a troubled sleep on his bed.
