Chapter 19
The human girl napped in the arms of her cold protector for what lasted through most of the day light and into the early evening. When she awoke, her eyes were no longer heavy, but rather relaxed and refreshed as she gazed up from the lap of Azusa Mukami and weakly smiled at him. He stroked her blonde bangs to the side, parting them from in front of her eyes, to get a better look at her and silently inspected each element of her fragile face. Her skin was pale, besides her lips that looked as if they were kissed by fire, and her wide eyes were enchanting enough to hold his attention for longer than any other could. They were warm, sleepy, and even appeared to be happy; something that was often missing from her gaze. "I half expected... this is be how it always felt. Being Adam..." Azusa's voice trailed off as he stared down at Yui and he watched intently as her smile slowly vanished and was replaced by a mixed expression of confusion and concern. "Azusa-kun?" She muttered before he said, "Holding you in my arms... there is no other feeling that could possibly compare. You are... precious." His fangs were exposed from the lower angle but Yui hardly even noticed, all she could focus on was his mesmerizing eyes and sweet smile. She returned the smile and whispered gently, "Oh, Azusa."
The touch of Azusa's finger tips along the front of her chest caused Yui's blood to boil, instantly causing her lustful desires to surface and thoughts of love making to strike. Despite everything that Ruki had put her through in the past few days, she still wanted Azusa in every way possible; pleasing him was her number one goal. Pleasing him in a healthy way that is. But the longer he touched her, the slower that Yui began to realize it wasn't her sex that he was after. "Are you thirsty?" She finally asked. Her tone was naive and innocent. It's as if she could read him like a book when they were in these intimate situations and, without a second thought, Azusa lifted her from his lap and aggressively clasped his lips onto the base of her neck. He didn't even bother easing her into it with meaningless kisses or lappings of his tongue but instead jammed his teeth violently inside of her flesh and began mercilessly feeding on her.
The aggression that Azusa inflicted onto her was something that Yui had nearly forgotten; she hadn't experienced it since their first time making love, and she had blamed that on the hormones all together. He hadn't fed on her for a few days though. It was understandable that he would be parched, and that is true nature would come to view. "Azusa-kun," she choked finally, y-you're hurting me." Her entire being began cringing and fidgeting in his grasp, even as he tightened around her, and he seemed to ignore her and continue feeding on her without another word. He sunk his teeth down onto another area on her skin and stirred his fangs in her flesh, listening to her sweet whimpers as he began to purposely inflict pain bit by bit. The sounds that she made caused him to melt inside. Azusa didn't awake from his lustful trance until his lover began pleading and begging for him to stop, and at once he pulled away and rubbed the remaining blood off of his lips with his shirt sleeve. He stared at her with dull eyes at first but then grabbed her again, holding her in a softer grip before whispering, "Forgive me..." and sinking his fangs down to break the skin of her shoulder.
Though Azusa's drinking was now softer, it wasn't enough to make up for the pain he had just caused and Yui used all of her force to push him off of her. Her eyes were wild, large with both fear and rage, and she quickly backed away from him and towards the door. "Yui-san..." Azusa said slowly, returning to his usual calm state, and reached a single hand out to her. Yui cringed at the gesture and quickly touched the knob of the door. "I asked you to stop," she said. "And you didn't. You're just as bad as he is," she cried before running out the door and slamming it behind her. Azusa sat up straight in bed and listened to the sound of her bare feet tapping on the floor, farther and farther away until they disappeared somewhere in the mansion.
The dark haired vampire boy cursed himself silently for allowing his instincts to overtake his respect for the girl he had vowed to take care of. He laid in his bed with his legs hanging over the edge and his hands twisted tightly in his hair. This rage inside of him had exploded and was overflowing and there was no way of stopping it. At first, he considered it was the pure adrenaline releasing for him to save Yui, the Eve to his Adam, and that's why he had cut his brother and locked the other away to starve in a lonely room. But now he was unsure, for he was positive that he would never overstep his boundaries with the blonde ever again. The conflict inside of him only caused the anger to grow and he feared that this wasn't the end of it.
It was the first time that Yui had seen her bedroom in days and the sight of it caused her heart to shatter. The mattress was completely gone, as well as the sheets and pillows, and clothes had been shredded and thrown all over the room. Glass from the shattered mirror pierced into the bottom of her foot and Yui sucked in a deep breath, attempting to forget about the pain and slowly reaching down to take the prick out. She was trying to be careful not to bring any more unwanted attention to herself after Azusa's attack and the last thing she wanted was another vampire in her bedroom. My home, she thought to herself, it's ruined. Not only had Ruki thrown her into a cell, but he had absolutely destroyed what he knew to be her only safe space. The dresses she had gawked at only days before were now completely destroyed and laid among the glass at her feet. She collapsed onto her knees and stared at the ruins. She needed to get out of here, but she had nowhere to go. She was stuck in a house of horrors.
"Aw, M Neko-chan," Kou cooed from behind Yui. He had walked in when the pathetic girl was 'having a moment' amoung the mess that he had witnessed Ruki created only two days prior. He clicked his tongue a few times and said in a tauntingly childish voice, "Poor sick little girl. All you wanted was a nice nap and this happened, huh? Well, how about you come sleep with me?" He watched, trying to control his laughter, but the girl didn't budge. He sank down beside her, practically on his knees himself, before pressing his lips close to her ear and whispering, "Behavior like this is no good for the baby."
