Chapter Three
Bloodlust
"It happened again Arata...just what should we do? If word gets out about..."
"It's alright, Satsuki. Otou-sama will know what to do. Arashi will be fine."
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT HER! WHY SHOULD I WHEN SHE'S 'THAT WOMAN'S' DAUGHTER!"
"Lower your voice Satsuki and do not speak of Arashi like that again. Know your place!"
As the bickering between the two escalated Arashi, who had been listening to all of it behind the door with Senri, tightened her grasp on the latter's hands. Her teary violet orbs began to glow a crimson red and as the tears slipped down her cheeks she turned towards her cousin.
"Senri...I'm so thirsty..." she whispered. Her hands wandered towards Senri's bare neck and as he moved himself closer to her Arashi could do nothing but indulge herself in his sweet blood...
Senri...blood…thirst…need…I need…BLOOD!
Arashi's body jerked up from where it had been laying on the soft sheets of her bed. Drenched head to toe in her own cold sweat and with an unbearable thirst ripping out of her throat as she gained more and more of her consciousness, Arashi tried to climb down from the wooden structure.
But just as her feet were about to touch the soft carpet floors Senri appeared out of nowhere to pin her back onto the bed.
At first Arashi playfully tugged at Senri's sleeves while trying to nudge him off of her. But as his grip got tighter around her wrists and her attempts to escape became futile her movements became more desperate, even violent.
Amidst the frantic clawing and animalistic growls Senri was subjected to receiving the younger vampire was able to catch a glimpse of what Arashi had become.
The gentle violet hues of her eyes had been consumed by the crimson red that was usually all too little to see. Her fangs which were normally hidden away were bared prominently and the familiar deranged look of it began to reveal itself.
What awoke from the bed wasn't the Hoshito heiress but the hunger she buried deep within her soul. That being said the sheer amount of bloodlust it had emitted from the beginning should have been enough for a Level B vampire like Senri to cripple under its pressure but the Shiki heir didn't even flinch as he restrained it.
If it was released on campus be it human or vampire none would survive. Every time Arashi's body weakened it would take over. The only way for it to be stopped was to satisfy its needs.
It was a need Senri was all too happy to comply with.
Even though he had a full packet of blood tablets in his left trouser pocket what he chose to do was rip off his tie and loosen his collar to reveal the soft muscles of his neck. With no hesitation whatsoever Senri pressed his exposed neck against its bared fangs.
Its struggles came to a stop once it caught sight of the offering before it. Almost immediately its fangs dug deep into Senri's flesh and greedily began to drink off of its host's cousin.
Very slowly its bloodlust started to fade along with its thirst and as it neared its fill Arashi's form suddenly went limp and fell onto Senri's chest.
The younger male's grip quickly tightened around his cousin's waist and gently lay the heiress back onto her silk sheets. His eyes lingered over the small remains of the blood crusted on her now healing wound.
With his scent already heavily laced around the room Senri didn't hesitate to nibble at Arashi's smooth neck as the tempting scent of her blood wafted into his nose.
The savoury taste of her blood was something Senri could never grow tired of and although he was upset that Arashi had gotten hurt there was a part of him that was also grateful for the strong scent of Arashi's blood that wandered through the Moon Dormitories, allowing his sin to be masked by its thickness.
Although the amount he had drunk was small compared to the amount he'd lost Senri could already feel his strength returning to him as he pulled away from Arashi. He gazed softly down at her pale features and carefully caressed her bloodied cheek before planting a loving kiss onto her moist lips. Unknown to him a dark figure was watching him closely from the shadows, clenching their fists at the scene before them.
A group of shrill screams awoke Arashi from her short slumber and for a moment the Hoshito heiress thought she was late for class until the bright sunlight proved her wrong. A short pause passed before Arashi realized just why the Day Class students weren't attending classes and she could only sigh as she saw the large black X marking her calendar.
"Valentines will never be a quiet event for us will it?..."Arashi sighed as she got up from the bed. "It is unfortunate that I will have to attend this year."
"You should stay in the dorms and rest then. You lost a lot of blood yesterday." Senri stated poking at the now non-existent wound on Arashi's cheek." Your healing speed always amazes me. I could almost see your bones when Kain-san brought you here."
"Akatsuki-san did?" Arashi's eyes widened at this news. Her cheeks then blushed crimson as she recalled the events between her and her fiancé." How embarrassing, he must have caught me when I fainted..."
A flash of pain passed through Senri's face before returning to its usual blankness as Arashi turned her attention to him. She was staring straight at his dishevelled form and it was only then that Senri realized he'd forgotten to hide the bite marks from yesterday. As Arashi's hands reached out towards his neck Senri could literally hear his heart pounding inside his chest. He was about to stop her when Arashi's hand suddenly changed its course and touched his cheek.
"Sleep, Senri. You will need it for later." She said softly, while giving his cheek a small pat.
Senri only nodded at this and lay back down, pulling his cousin back into his arms for another few hours of sleep.
When the two cousins woke up once more it was just turning into dusk. They hastily redressed into clean uniforms before heading out to join the others.
They managed to arrive just in time for the main gates to start opening. Both Arashi and Senri inwardly cringed at the sight before them.
"This is hell..."Senri said to her as they listened to Yuki's annual valentine speech.
Arashi hummed in agreement as did Rima who offered her a Pocky stick while they watched as Hanabusa was being chewed off by the dorm president. "Thank you, Rima-san. I have a few chocolates in my pocket if you would like."
Rima nodded and they silently swapped treats as they waited for Senri's line to finish. By the time it had night had long since fallen and it was decided that the remaining Night Class students would be returning to their dorms.
Arashi was planning on going back to sleep with Senri but as she caught sight of her fiancé in the dormitory's hallways, she quickly changed her plans. She turned to Senri and said, "I'm sorry Senri but I need to go speak with Akatsuki-san." before walking away, leaving her younger cousin to stare bitterly at her disappearing figure…
