Dark Kiss

Chapter 10: The Vampire's Mister

Taichi checked himself over in the mirror in the bathroom at his house, taking note of each and every bite mark all over his body, his neck, shoulders, legs, thighs, this wouldn't be very good if it were still summer, since he'd have to get dressed in the dressing room with other guys for soccer practice and they would definitely notice.
Taichi sighed as his arms dropped to his sides, his shirt following after "Damn it..." he mumbled to himself with a grumbled tone of voice, not quite happy about this siutation "I told him to stop..."

Taichi knew very well however that Vamdemon desired to taste every bit of him during their passionate night together, so there was really no getting around it even if he begged Vamdemon to not leave any marks.
Vamdemon was just as he said before, merciless, he may have fallen for Taichi but he still struggled with being good, his villainous side always got the better of him, but... It's not like it could escalate to something worse from here, right?

"Big brother!" Hikari hollered out, wondering what was taking him so long in the bathroom "Ah sorry Hikari!"
Taichi shuffled his outfit together before opening the door and walking out "Why did you take so long?" Hikari pouted

"Uhh... I was... just... my mind started going through a lot of thoughts and I ended up getting swept away in them" Taichi wasn't lying, he really was swept away in thought, but he couldn't tell his sister the whole story.
Hikari's pout turned into a small smile "Well, you have a lot on your mind right now, so I'll let it slide"

Hikari then walked into the bathroom to begin brushing her hair and prettying herself up, Taichi watching her for a bit before walking towards the apartment door and putting his shoes on "Where are you going?"
Hikari asked in curiousity, she was in the bathroom but she could still hear Taichi getting ready to head out, it wasn't a big unit after all.

Taichi slipped his second shoe on as he held onto the door handle before looking in Hikari's direction "I'm going to see Yamato, I want to ask him something"
Hikari blinked once before turning towards the mirror again "Alright, take care of yourself big brother"
With that, Taichi opened the door and finally left, closing it behind him.

As the sun fully rised, Taichi had finally shown up at Yamato's place, ringing the doorbell, then waited for someone to answer, thankfully it was the man he wanted to see as Yamato opened the door noticing Taichi was there "Taichi?"

Taichi shuffled his feet nervously "Hey, are you busy? There's something I want to talk to you about"
Yamato noticed Taichi was fidgeting a little, mostly with his clothes, it wasn't like him to be this nervous so of course Yamato wanted to help soothe whatever concerns Taichi had "Sure, no one is here but me, come in"

As Yamato invited Taichi inside, he went to the kitchen to prepare both of them some tea.
Taichi stepped inside as he softly muttered "Sorry for the intrusion"
Yamato stared at Taichi as he waited for the water to boil, wondering what it is he wanted to talk about "So? What brings you here?"

Taichi sat down at the dining table as he let out a huge sigh, well, he made it this far so might as well tell him the truth "It's about Vamdemon"
Yamato's attention was at it's fullest now, usually Taichi was hesitant on talking about Vamdemon but today, it seemed like he really needed to let something out "Yeah? Did something happen?"

Taichi's expression became awkward, what was he supposed to say? He wanted to tell him about how he feels about Vamdemon but should he give the specifics of how it happened? He knew Yamato would ask him what made him decide this...

"I just... We... he uh..." Taichi tried to push the words out of his mouth but every time he did it felt like someone was zipping his lips shut over and over again, it wasn't really helping that Yamato was giving him a look of confusion and concern, he knew Yamato cared about him a lot but maybe... maybe he cared a little too much.

"Don't... think I'm weird for saying this, okay?" Taichi's expression became even more awkward as he fumbled his hands together nervously, Yamato leaned back against the counter with his arms folded, having his full attention "Okay, so what's up?"
Taichi closed his eyes as he let out a long sigh before slowly opening his eyes again, staring down at his lap, his hands on top of his lap, slowly forming into fists "Vamdemon... and I... confirmed to each other yesterday, about our feelings for each other"

Yamato was now paying more attention than he previously was, even though his attention was already at it's fullest "You did? So how do you feel about him then?"

Taichi immediately thumped his head onto the dining table as he groaned, Yamato blinking as he watched Taichi's sudden grumbled reaction "You like him too then? Judging by your reaction"
Taichi muffled his speech into the table "Yeah..."

Sitting back up again Taichi leaned back in his chair as his head hung over the back of it "I don't know... I mean I know now that I love Vamdemon too but... I still don't know how this will work between a human and a Digimon... I know you told me it's like dating a hologram since they're both data pieces but..."

The water was now boiling as the kettle went off, Yamato turning towards it and turning it off before pouring the water into the cups "I understand why you're worried about this" Yamato softly replied.

Yamato finished up making their tea as he brought Taichi's cup to him, setting it in front of him before sitting himself down at the dining table.
Taichi gladly took the cup and sipped it, then placing it back down again "What if... I'm making a mistake..."

Yamato sipped his tea as well before setting it back down again, staring at Taichi "To be honest I don't like it either, I've been very worried about you because of Vamdemon lately"

Yamato shamefully lowered his head "That's why I've been invading your privacy every time you start acting weird about this, I know I shouldn't but..."
Taichi's face turned into a pout "Yeah you really shouldn't, I get where you're coming from though"
Yamato stared at Taichi as he watched his friend take another sip of the tea "So how did you confirm your feelings for him?"

"Ghk!" Taichi choked on his tea as Yamato asked him about his confirmation towards Vamdemon, coughing up the liquid in his throat before leaning in towards Yamato and giving him a pissed off expression "I know you worry about me but seriously, for real, that's none of your business"

Yamato's expression remained unchanged, he kinda picked up on what they did based on Taichi's reaction "So you went the whole way with him"
Taichi's face was now bright red "Ahhg! Just-!"
Taichi scratched at his head in frustration "Yeah fine! Whatever! You're right but you don't have to say it so casually!"

Yamato placed his hands around his tea cup, staring down at it as he huffed a long sigh "I'm pretty jaded by this kind of information at this point"
Taichi stared at Yamato as he lifted an eyebrow in confusion "Jaded?"
Yamato looked back at Taichi "So, you need advice on this?" Yamato was quick to go back to the topic at hand.

Taichi relaxed in his seat again, thinking about what he should say "Liking a Digimon in this way..."
Taichi didn't know what to say, was he really doing the right thing? He knows now he loves Vamdemon too but is this relationship... a sin?
Has he become tainted in order to open his heart to a villainous Digimon?

As Taichi thought about it more he began thinking about Vamdemon and how their relationship was, how he acted towards him, how he was both gentle and merciless, depending on his mood, however Taichi wasn't prepared for what was about to happen.
"Nnh..." Taichi's eyes widened slightly as he felt himself become hot, his blood felt like it was burning and his body was heating up, soon enough his breaths were becoming visible "What the hell? What's happening to me all of a sudden!?"

Taichi thought to himself as he began to panic, Yamato quickly taking notice as soon as Taichi hugged himself "Taichi?"
Taichi began panting "What... What's happening to me?"
Yamato was quick to jump out of his seat and put his hands on Taichi's shoulders, looking him over "Taichi! What's wrong!?"

"Hahh... Hahh..." Taichi couldn't respond to his friend, he felt dizzy, hot, shaky, his body shivering despite heating up, in fact, it was kind of like he was in heat.
Yamato took notice of this sudden change, he figured Vamdemon did something to him to make him this way "Taichi!"
Yamato placed his hands on Taichi's face to make him look up at him, only to have Taichi's eyes half lidded, his panting continuing and his mind somewhere else.

Soon enough, finally, Taichi passed out, Yamato catching him before he hit the floor "Taichi!"

Later... Taichi regained consciousness, his eyes slowly opening, noticing some of his friends were hovering over him "Taichi! Thank goodness!" Sora exclaimed, grateful that her friend was awake.
Taichi slowly looked at everyone around the room before attempting to sit up, only to have Koushiro push gently on his chest "No, don't move for awhile"

Taichi blinked curiously as he stared at Koushiro "Huh? How come?"
Koushiro gave Taichi a slight concerned expression "...Judging by your condition I'd say you took my advice"
Taichi stared at Koushiro for a bit until he remembered that it was Koushiro that suggested for him to go the whole way with Vamdemon, then... That means his body acting the way it did must have something to do with it? Considering Koushiro is connecting the two right now.

"Koushiro" Taichi spoke softly before his expression became concerned and slightly angered "You didn't tell me I'd end up like this! Well... Whatever 'this' is!"
Koushiro put up his hands in a defensive manner "Calm down Taichi! I'll explain everything!"
Everyone listened carefully as Koushiro cleared his throat, preparing to make his explanation.

"So..." Koushiro finally spoke "Once you bond completely with a vampire you will start feeling differently, you will sometimes become... needy... for the lack of better words, the reason for this is because vampire lords are dominant creatures by nature, their partner is automatically attached to them in many different ways after the bonding is completed"

Yamato lifted an eyebrow at Koushiro "What do you mean by 'bonding'?"
Koushiro turned to Yamato, answering his question "There is a specific way to bond with a vampire lord, the typical way is by simply being bitten and your blood drained a little, however vampire lords I suppose have some kind of on/off switch with that, since they choose who their bites will affect for bonding purposes"

Jo scratched his head in confusion "So we already know Taichi was bitten, but he seemed fine during that one time we saw it on his neck"
Koushiro turned to Taichi again, his eyebrows furrowed in a serious manner "Did Vamdemon bite you a second time and drain some of your blood?"
Taichi immediately remembered that he did, but it was on his inner thigh very close to his... "Uhh..."

Taichi's face went bright red as he thought about it, that bastard claimed him in an area he'd be too embarrassed to openly admit! Koushiro noticed Taichi's face burning up from embarrassment "So he did"
Taichi groaned, covering his face with his hand "Yeah, yeah he did, but I didn't think that he was trying to..."

"Make you his mister?" Koushiro finished Taichi's sentence for him.

Taichi lowered his hand on his face as he lifted an eyebrow in confusion "Mister?" he repeated, Koushiro nodding in response "Yes, to become bonded to a vampire lord you would have to become their mister or mistress"

As Sora watched the conversation back and forth she remained very curious about how Taichi was bitten "So this is the second time he bit you, but this time he made you his mister"

Taichi choked a laugh to Sora suggesting that this was a 'second' bite, not so, he was bitten all over his damn body, this was simply the second time he drained his blood.
"What's so funny?" Sora questioned, feeling slightly offended by his laugh but it didn't take long for her to figure out why he laughed "Wait! How many times has he bitten you!?"

"Uhh..." Just then Taichi knew he messed up by letting that laugh slip, but still, how would he be able to explain this? He had sex with Vamdemon and he was biting him all over his neck, shoulders, legs and thighs, he was covered in them.
"Let's see..." Taichi thought if he told them how many times they'd let him off the hook without checking it out themselves, after all his friends were hyper cautious about his situation, he didn't need them stripping him right now...

Taichi began counting with his fingers "In total... I think 8 times..."

"EIGHT!?" Everyone shouted in shock, they weren't expecting Taichi to have that many bites on him, Koushiro however was the only one remaining silent, after all he sort of figured out where the rest of those bites came from since Koushiro suggested Taichi go the whole way with Vamdemon and Taichi basically spilled it with Yamato so his reaction was only shock towards how many times he was bitten.

Both Koushiro and Taichi being the only ones feeling awkward in the room while everyone else except Yamato were in complete shock.
Mimi was once again quick to take notice of both Koushiro and Taichi reacting similarly "Hey! How come you seem to know what's going on, Koushiro!?"

"Uh- That's...!" Koushiro immediately tried to defend them both "It's not something we should get involved with, it's just between Taichi and Vamdemon!... trust me..."

Mimi however wasn't having it "If it's just between them then why do you seem to know what's going on!?"
Koushiro was beginning to feel frustrated by Mimi's pushy behaviour "Mimi you seriously don't need to know and to be honest neither should I, I just happened to figure it out"

Taichi was feeling tense as he watched them both argue, he really hoped Mimi would back off, and sure enough she did, sighing a long sigh, she calmed down, a little disappointed but understanding "Alright..."

Taichi released a sigh of relief, but it didn't last as Mimi pulled down Taichi's shirt to see if she could spot the bite marks "AHG! MIMI!" Taichi hollered as he pushed her away and covered himself up again "What are you doing!?"

Mimi's eyes narrowed, giving Taichi a suspicious expression "I'll let it slide if you tell me where he bit you, I only saw 3 on your neck"
"Mimi! Seriously just leave me alone!"

Yamato approached Mimi and placed a hand on her shoulder "Just let it go Mimi, he's already stressed about this enough as it is"
Mimi gave a concerned expression "I'm just worried... I need to make sure Vamdemon isn't hurting him, isn't doing anything horrible to him"

"What the hell do the bite mark placements have to do with it?" Taichi asked, a little irritated at Mimi's forward behaviour.
Mimi looked at Taichi, her expression of concern deepening "Because... I need to know how often he's draining your blood, it's dangerous if he drains all of it!"

Taichi understood her concern, but he still didn't think he should show her his bites "His blood was only drained twice" Koushiro spoke up for Taichi, everyone turning towards him, Mimi especially confused "What? But... he has 8 marks right?"

Koushiro scratched the back of his head sheepishly "The other 6 are..."
Koushiro looked at Taichi who was frowning with intense irritation, but nodded to let Koushiro explain it, since he'd be better at explaining it in the least awkward way.

"They're love bites, vampires that have a bond with someone tend to bite their partner a lot for no real reason other than to say 'I love you' to them, it's just Vamdmeon's way of expressing his love for Taichi"

Mimi's eyes widened slightly, falling completely silent for a short while, until she looked at Taichi, her expression now curious "Doesn't it hurt?"
Taichi gently shook his head "Not really"

Koushiro continued for Taichi "Because if you accept your love for a vampire their bites won't be painful anymore"
"I see..." Mimi softly said as she stared at her feet, not sure if she could say anything else about this.
Takeru stepped into the conversation, chiming in on it "So about why Taichi suddenly got heated up for no reason"

Koushiro scrambled his words together in a bit of a panic "Ah right! that's why we're here! Well... about that... the short story is it's because Taichi is now Vamdemon's mister..."

Yamato placed his hand on his hip, tilting his head curiously "And the long version?"

Koushiro struggled to find the right words to use, the long version wasn't so simple "The long version is because... well..."
Taichi blinked innocently at Koushiro, not knowing it would be an insane reason as Koushiro was about to explain "Yes it's because Taichi is his mister now... But his body heating up, sudden shivers, unexplained panting... It's kind of like he was in heat... but to be completely honest... uhh..."

Koushiro hesitated on continuing his explanation, stuttering his words as he tried to speak "H-He is actually uhh... Well he's..."
Finally Koushiro finally found enough strength to finally say what he needed to "Taichi is now experiencing what would be called "Devil Lords Craving"

Sora's curiousity peeked as she was first to ask about this 'craving' thing "Craving? So he is craving something? It's not blood, is it!?"
Taichi suddenly sitting up and forward quickly, feeling concerned about it as well "Wait! Sora's right! It can't be blood! I'm not a vampire!"

"Calm down you two" Koushiro reassured them both "The thing Taichi craves isn't blood, it's... something else..."
Koushiro turned his attention to Taichi, giving him a serious expression "Taichi... you're craving Vamdemon, his... embrace let's say... for lack of a safer word"

Taichi's eyes widened completely, another blush forming on his face as he slumped slowly back in the seat, his heart racing and yet his skin cold with goose bumps "So... I'm craving... him?"

Yamato sighed, sitting next to Taichi and placing a hand on his shoulder "Well we weren't far off, technically you go randomly in heat"
"Don't call it that!" Taichi shouted aggressively at Yamato, both embarrassed and very much bothered by his comment.
Takeru smiled as he watched Taichi's expression become troubled, stepping in to probably ease the ache a bit per say "Well, look on the bright side"

Taichi lifted an eyebrow towards Takeru "What bright side?"

Takeru placed his hands together happily "You won't be sexually frustrated anymore!"
Everyone turned white at the same time, the room getting very quiet as everyone's eyes were wide and their expressions had that of disturbance, Taichi being the most disturbed.

"Yamato..." Taichi quietly muttered, Yamato slowly looking at Taichi "Yeah?"
Taichi's face becoming both angered and awkward "Do something about your brother will you?"
