"K-Kain-senpai! What're you…? Let g-" I cut off with a gasp as I felt his fangs scrape my neck. I shuddered, unable to suppress the groan of pleasure that escaped my lips. He nuzzled my neck once, before slowly sinking his fangs into my neck. I gasped again and whimpered. At first it was heaven, the feeling of his gentle tugs on my neck. But then I started to feel light headed. My knees began to go weak and I could barely force my eyes to stay open.

"K…Kain! Stop! You're taking… taking too…" That was as far as I got before my eyes closed again and I went limp, passing out in his arms.

Kain

She was different around me than anyone else. I could smell her attraction, the change in her pheromones.

At first I thought it was maybe Hanabusa who caused it, a thought that made me scowl. But then at the library I smelled the same thing, and again in the bathroom just an hour before. I heard her try to control her heart rate. It set me off even worse than her blood scent did, that attraction I could hear and smell. It was radiating off of her. I loved it.

Stroking her hair one last time, just to hear her sound of approval, I slid my eyes shut. I was staying here with her for the night. I wanted to stay with my future mate. I kissed her forehead and turned to my back, pulling her on top of me. I tightened my arms around her and pulled the blanket higher. She smiled and made a happy sound of approval at the extra warmth. I fell asleep, relishing in her warm body against mine and musing over how light and tiny she was.

His hands wandered down my back and stroked my sides as he nuzzled and kissed at my neck. I pressed harder against him and couldn't help but make a happy whimper. My hands were on his chest, clutching his shirt. His scent was driving me wild. I wanted him so badly, in every sense I could imagine. Why was he teasing me like this?

"Kain…" I whimpered, stretching my neck to give him more access. "Kain please, I-I need…!"

"I know." He whispered against my neck. "I just like to make you beg for me." He licked and kissed at my neck some more, drawing louder moans and whimpers from my body. Why did he enjoy teasing me so? It wasn't fair, that I wanted him so badly in the only way I could have him yet he was denying me my pleasure.

"K-Kain!" I whined breathlessly. "Please!" I begged again. He chuckled against my neck once before scraping his fangs along my neck. I whimpered in anticipation and squirmed against him. He pinned me to him so I could not move. As he sank teeth into the tenderness of my neck I opened my eyes and released a moan. It was incredible. His fiery scent was everywhere, we were in one as well, surrounded by the reddish-orange and yellow flames no matter where I looked. His natural heat and the heat of the fire were so warm! I had never been so comfortable before! My tail flicked back and forth and I purred in pleasure…

I tried to bolt upright only to be pinned by two, strong arms. I recognized the smell of the beds other occupant immediately. I wanted to relax and curl back up on top of him but I knew I needed to get away from the man I recently began using as a heater, both in and out of my dreams apparently. I flicked my tail nervously back and forth, trying to figure a way for me to get away without him waking and noticing my position on top of him. That's when it dawned on me; I hadn't taken my belly ring out. Why was my tail waving behind me? And why the hell was it out with Kain here? I had a vague recollection of the night, up until the bathroom. He was sucking on my blood… Taking too much… When did we? How did we end up in my bed? I sat there distressing mentally until his chuckled called my attention.

"You're lively today, kitten." He said lazily. I stiffened at the name but knew I couldn't deny what he saw.

"What? How? What?" Was my brilliant response. In my defense, I was freaking out.

"Your belly ring seemed strange when I was putting on your pajamas last night." He explained. "When I took it out I got to see your cute little ears and tail." He sighed and stroked down my hair and spine. I instinctively arched into his touch and purred in pleasure before mentally slapping myself.

"Kain let me go." I demanded. "I need-" He cut me off.

"To rest. You were cut up by a rogue and I took too much." He said, lightly tightening his grip. "You need rest, and you need be taken care of for the next few days until you're at your best."

I began to protest but never even got the words out.

"Go to sleep." He said in a coaxing tone. As he began stroking my back once again, I couldn't help but purr and this time my body won out. I curled up on his chest and stomach; I fell into more Kain-filled dreams while I was slowly coaxed asleep by soothing tones and whispered teases at my expense. All centered on how much cuddlier I was like this. And that he liked it. I let my eyes drift shut and inhaled deeply to enjoy his scent while I could. I knew I couldn't stay, no matter how much I enjoyed being in his arms. Being with him in general. I would have to leave the academy now that he knew. It wasn't safe for me anymore.

Neko blood called to vampires like you wouldn't believe. Being here was a risk already, but I was sure that now that he knew the others would find out. I'm sure they'd attack, my kind… We are considered trash according to the myths. For centuries we were viewed as no more than playthings and food. What can I do? I wanted to live. We're too close to animals to be considered human. I wanted to stay here, for the first time I wanted to stay confined and I couldn't. It's always like this. Even when I want to stay, I always have to go.

I dreamed of the past. But this time Kain was with me. He was there to hold my hand, stay close to me, through every heartbreak of every new home, every minute on the street he was there to watch over me. I wished that could've been my reality; that I hadn't been alone, but the past was the past. You can't change it, whether you want to or not.

Kain POV:

A single tear rolled from the corner of her eye and onto my chest. I slowly sat up so I could wipe it away less awkwardly. I moved gently so I was leaning on the wall beside me with her on my lap and continued to wipe away the tears that began to rain down. I held her tighter to me and kissed her forehead. I hated whatever could cause her so much pain. I didn't know how long I stayed like that, or when I fell asleep. I didn't care, because when I woke up she was gone.

A small bag in the corner of her room, her combat boots, and her other belly ring was gone as well. Jumping from the bed to the floor, a single piece of paper that I hadn't noticed fell from my lap. I picked it up and read it carefully. It only said one word but that one word sent more pain through me than anything else than I had ever endured. More than Ruka's rejection, more than being the one she turned to cry on every time Kaname rejected her blood, more than any punishment Kaname could ever rain down on me when I didn't stop Hanabusa from being stupid.

I jumped out the window and began to follow her scent where it was strongest. I vaguely heard the paper flutter in the wind from my movements. I was catching up to her when I smelled it. More Level Es. Three of them. And the worst thing to ever cross my path. The scent of her blood increasing tenfold. I ran faster than I ever had before, praying I wasn't too late. The entire time my thoughts were on her smile, the word on the page flashing through my mind over and over.

"Goodbye."
