Chapter 3
World End stood silently as he processed everything Rin had just told him. He was Rin's mate? Wor had never been one to discriminate when it came to sexual partners, but was he ready to become this man's mate? Although...was it really any different then him asking Rin to become his eve? Either way, they would be bound together until one of them died. The only difference was probably just that as a mate, he would get sex as a bonus part of their relationship.
'Rin! The guards are coming,' Kuro warned.
"What? Why are the guards coming? It isn't time to eat yet is it?"
"The guards are coming?" Wor questioned. If it was true then he knew exactly why they were coming here. Kuro meowed a few times and Rin nodded, affirming that there were guards on their way here.
"We'll have to talk later, but if you want to prevent us from being separated...and maybe escape in the process...come here," World End motioned for Rin to stand in front of him, by the bars. As Rin struggled to get up Wor continued. "You need to decide if you want to be my eve. I still stand by my decision, but it's up to you. If you do then you just need to give me a name and an item of some sort. Then I need to drink a drop of your blood."
Rin had finally managed to drag himself over to the bars and his hands grasped them tightly, trying to keep himself upright. As if sensing what he needed, Wor placed his hands over Rin's on the bars. A jolt of pleasure shot through Rin at the contact and he bit back a moan. As he felt the strength returning to his body, Rin knew his answer. He pulled the tassel of Kurikara out of his pocket and placed it in World End's hands.
"I name you Kōzan. You are mine," Rin stated confidently as the blue flames flared in his eyes momentarily. Wor smirked at the name and then took the tip of Rin's finger into his mouth, pressing it against his fang gently until a drop of blood spilled onto his tongue. He swallowed just as the guards came into view.
"No!" Tsuyuki shouted. He saw the position the two inmates were in and assumed that World End was killing Rin. "Open that cage! Get Rin out, and shoot World End already, for God's sake!" One of the guards had just thrown the door of Rin's cell open when a crackling red light suddenly appeared between the two inmates.
The guards watched as World End grinned before reaching through the bars and tearing the metal collar away from Rin's neck. The crackling red light had formed itself into a chain that connected World End's neck with Rin's wrist and Tsuyuki ran. A contract had been made, and they were all going to die. The prison warden was going to try to get as far away as he could before World End broke through his cell door.
As soon as the collar left his neck Rin burst into flames showing his true demon form, and World End felt the comforting warmth roll over him once more. Fueled by his eve's blood and rage, Wor shot forward and punched the door of his cell, sending it flying and killing a guard who was unfortunate enough to be in its path. More guards were running toward them from every direction and Wor began searching for a way out.
'Rin! Make him take my collar off! I'll carry you out of here!' Kuro meowed frantically.
"Kōzan, break this collar too!" Rin ordered and Wor quickly obeyed, a shiver of pleasure running down his spine at the younger man's treatment. He shook his head. Now was not the time to be distracted by sexual thoughts of domination. Suddenly the small black cat grew to an enormous size and Rin jumped up onto its back. A guard raised his gun and fired at Rin. Wor jumped in front of it, taking the hit in his shoulder before landing haphazardly in his eve's lap.
"Shit," he cursed at the slight pain, but before anything else could happen, Rin wrapped his arms around Wor, holding him close and sniffing his hair gently. Kuro suddenly bolted forward, crashing through the wall of the prison with the aid of Rin's flames. The cat stumbled on the rubble and they fell from its back, landing in a heap on the ground with Rin on top of Wor.
"I really hope you'll accept me," Rin spoke as he nestled his forehead against Wor's for just a moment. He pulled away, all to quickly for Wor, and turned to face the large number of guards that were pursuing them.
Sensing that Kurikara was nearby, Rin tore his attention away from his Servamp and spun in a circle searching for the weapon he loved so much. The close physical contact with his mate had given him strength and he didn't intend to waste it. Closing his eyes, Rin focused on controlling the flames around him. He pushed them out and Wor watched in wonder as his eve's flames gently caressed himself and Kuro before moving on to burn and kill roughly thirty of the guards that had gathered around them.
"There you are," Rin growled as he turned to the left and began stalking toward a guard that was holding a sword shakily in front of him.
Wor felt the rage rushing into him through their bond and he stood, darting forward to meet more guards, quickly snapping two of their necks before punching a hole through a third guard's stomach. He hadn't fought like this in nearly 60 years, since before these people had captured him. Killing was not something he normally enjoyed, but these people had tortured him for so long that they deserved everything he gave them.
Glancing around, Wor noticed that Rin was now holding the sword he had been searching for and was fighting furiously along side of the Cat Sídhe. No matter how hard the three of them fought, guards continued pouring out of the prison. Rin began growing tired and Wor felt less rage pouring through their bond. He darted forward, breaking a hole through their ranks that allowed the trio to escape. Rin pulled Wor onto Kuro's back again and the cat carried them off into the night.
Three days later they finally stopped for some real rest. World End knew that they would still be pursued by C3, probably for the rest of their lives, but they could afford to take a little break while they came up with a plan. They stopped at a hotel on the outskirts of a small city. They looked pretty beaten up, and were still wearing their prison uniforms so they tried to avoid drawing attention.
They went to their shared room and took turns showering before they walked across the street to a small clothing store. After making their purchases they rushed back to their hotel room to change. Rin had picked out a pair of tight, black jeans, a white t-shirt and a dark gray hooded sweatshirt. Since they were inside, he left the sweatshirt off for now. Wor had picked a tight black t-shirt that had two jagged orange stripes down the front and a tight fitting pair of orange pants to match. The pants actually appeared to be more of a jump suit, but Wor wasn't wearing the top part. He left it hanging around his waist.
"Ah! Feels so good to be back to normal," Wor exclaimed, stretching his arms above his head. The action pulled his t-shirt up, revealing his stomach and Rin had to force himself to avert his gaze.
"Maybe we should talk...now that we have a moment," he suggested and Wor shrugged. Rin was sitting at the head of the large bed that dominated the room and Wor moved to sit opposite him, leaning back against the foot board.
"What'd you wanna talk about...master," Wor smirked at Rin's answering blush. He knew exactly what his eve wanted to discuss, but this kid was just way to much fun to mess with.
"Have you thought about...what I said?"
"As much as I'd love to talk about someone getting fucked into this mattress...shouldn't we be talking about what we're gonna do next?" Wor countered and Rin froze. Did that mean that he was accepting?
'Rin, you need to tell him,' Kuro prompted from his spot on the cushioned windowsill.
"What does it look like I'm trying to do!" Rin shouted as he and Kuro glared at each other.
"Okay, I'll admit that I have a lot of questions before anything happens between us, but there is one question I just have to know right now. Why do you always talk to him like that? Can he understand you?" This was not a response Rin had anticipated and he blinked. He turned away from Kuro to face the man across from him.
"He can understand everyone actually. I can only hear him because of our demon to demon telepathy, though. When he talks I hear it in my head."
"Weird. Well, anyways, I thought of something that might help us, with our C3 issue anyways. My siblings have all been hiding from them for years and I think we should go to them to ask for help."
"Right, you said you have a brother named Kuro right?"
"Yeah, he's my oldest brother, but I have seven siblings total. I'm sure one of them can help us out, unless you have any ideas?" World End asked, sounding hopeful. He wasn't entirely sure of where his siblings were at this moment and if his eve had any thoughts on how to escape he was happy to listen.
"Not really. I can't put my friends in danger and my brother wants me dead. All of my half brothers are in Gehenna and I can't go there."
"Why not? You are a demon after all," Wor pointed out and Rin flinched. His mind brought up the image of himself above Wor, saying that he hopes Wor will accept him. This would have to happen at some point so he may as well admit the truth.
"I'm not just any demon. I'm the offspring of a human woman and...Satan," he hung his head, feeling ashamed and angry. He waited for the inevitable anger and fear from the man in front of him. Everything in him expected Wor to react much the same way his friends had when they first learned the truth. He couldn't bear to receive the same hatred from this man who was meant to be his mate.
"Oh, so dear old dad would kick your ass for running away from home, or something like that, if you went to Gehenna right? Makes sense. We'll just roll with my idea for now then." Rin glanced up, astonished. Wor was thoughtfully staring at the blanket in front of him, one thumb nail in his mouth as he chewed on it gently. "I think I know where Old Child might be, so we'll start there in the morning. Let's get some sleep."
"Uh...okay," Rin blinked as he was snapped out of his thoughts. He then watched as Wor pulled the blankets back and crawled into the bed. The white haired man reached out and pulled Rin under the blanket beside him. "What are you doing?"
"You need physical contact with me right? So you don't get all weak again?" Rin nodded. "Well, this is physical contact." Wor tucked one of his arms under Rin's neck, supporting his head, and wrapped the other one around Rin's waist, keeping him close. Rin felt strength and pleasure flow through him from the area where Wor's bare arm touched his neck and he found himself nuzzling into the feeling before drifting into an easy sleep.
Morning light drifted in through the window as Rin was slowly pulled out of his slumber. As he woke he realized that his head was resting on Wor's shoulder and he was hugging the man to himself like a pillow. His right leg was wrapped around the man's waist and he moaned softly, wiggling his hips ever so slightly.
"Well, good morning to you too," Wor chuckled and Rin felt the vibrations against his arm and cheek.
"Mmm," Rin grumbled as he nuzzled his face against Wor's shoulder. The Servamp wiggled his own hips and Rin suddenly became aware of the reason for Wor's chuckle. His fully erect member was digging into the man's hip. Lifting his head, he stared at World End's face and was rewarded with a sexy smirk. Unwrapping himself, he slowly sat up, looking down at the man laid before him as though he were a five course meal and Rin hadn't eaten in months.
'No Rin! Not yet,' Kuro yelled at him as the cat transformed and snatched his master off of the bed and away from Wor. Rin growled and struggled against Kuro. 'You shouldn't try to complete the mating until you've told him everything and until you're somewhere safe!' Realizing that the Cat Sídhe was right, Rin managed to calm himself down. Wor sat on the bed the entire time, looking confused.
"You're right Kuro. I'm fine now, you can put me down."
"Uh, I guess we should get going then," World End stood and stretched as he spoke, choosing to ignore the odd interaction for now. He could demand answers later. Right now he just wanted to protect his eve and that meant getting them both as far away from C3 as possible.
They both showered again before leaving the room. Together, the three of them made their way down to the continental breakfast the hotel was offering. They nearly cleaned it out before they left as the hotel manager yelled at them. Grabbing a map from a bin near the front door, World End led the way and they began walking to the area where he thought they might find Old Child.
As they walked Wor told Rin a little bit about his siblings. Rin's first thought was that they all had rather unusual given names. He didn't really have any experience with vampires, other than Wor, though so he couldn't say to much. Perhaps all of their species was rather odd. Of course, with half brothers like his own, he couldn't really complain. When Wor described Old Child he smiled fondly. It was clear that the man had a soft spot for his (surprisingly) older brother.
World End had been imprisoned for the past 60 years, but according to him, Old Child never changed. He would be in an area that had easy access to playgrounds and hot springs. Also, given his animal form and abilities, he would be in an area that had at least a couple of caves. That sparked a question and Rin interrupted Wor to ask.
"You mentioned that your brother Kuro's animal form is a black cat. But you never told me about yours. Can I know?" He sounded hopeful and the way his eyes shone with curiosity made Wor smile. He stopped walking for a moment and transformed. When the small pig appeared on the ground in front of Rin he nearly squealed in delight. "So cute!"
"I don't really stay in that form much," he said as he transformed back. "But you're my eve. If it makes you that happy, I'd be willing to do it every now and then." He blushed slightly and turned his face away as Rin cheered.
They walked for the rest of the day in relative silence, broken only by the occasional question from Rin. They stopped for lunch at a cheap diner they came across, both eating large amounts of food, before continuing on their journey. The walk was mostly silent because both men were lost in thought. Of course, Wor didn't know that Rin's thoughts were often punctuated with input from Kuro.
World End's thoughts all revolved around the conversation they'd had before breaking out of the prison. He still was not sure of how he felt about being Rin's mate. It was easy to accept that such a thing existed, but to find out that he was one of them...that was something else. His mind took this moment to remind him that it wouldn't be much different than making a contract had been. They would be bound together either way, but over their time together he had learned that his eve was only 16. Of course, he was no child. The event that triggered the mating proved that, but still...and his thoughts continued circling around that point.
Rin's thoughts focused on the mating process itself. Kuro kept encouraging him to talk to Wor about the entire process, but Rin didn't think that now was the best time. They were in public, walking toward a certain goal. Besides, whether or not Wor accepted what was happening to Rin, they wouldn't be able to complete the mating until they were somewhere safe. They would need to be in a place that they wouldn't have to leave for days...maybe even weeks, if Wor's stamina was anything to go by. Rin shivered pleasurably at the thought and immediately tried to force it from his mind.
"Do you wanna stop somewhere? Get some sleep?" Wor asked, breaking Rin out of his thoughts.
"Uh, how close are we to our destination?"
"Not to far, maybe another couple of hours."
"Well, let's just keep walking then. The sooner the better," Rin smiled, trying to hide the fact that he might lose control if he had to share a bed with Wor again. "But...I do need some m-more...physical contact...please?" Rin blushed shyly, but Wor shrugged and took his hand, lacing their fingers together as they walked. Rin sighed audibly at the pleasure that shot through him at the contact.
The trio had no idea that they were being watched. Tsuyuki had assembled C3's strongest team to meet up with the one guard who had managed to trail them after they left the prison. Now the prison warden was riding with three of the teams members in an inconspicuous looking green car as they trailed the escaped inmates.
Tsuyuki knew that World End would try to find his siblings, seeking assistance in hiding from them and he couldn't allow them to escape. The opportunity to potentially locate and capture another Servamp was too tempting to pass up, however. They would not wait forever, but for now they would follow and see where they were led.
