No sooner had the door closed behind them than Yuuki felt herself pressed up against it by Kaname.

"Kaname wha—" she began before she was cut off by Kaname's lips on hers. As they continued to kiss he pulled back for a second and said in a breathless tone. "Never do that to me again."

She intended to ask him what he meant, but then he was kissing her again and speech was impossible. Needing to increase the contact between them, she reached up and grabbed his shoulders to pull him more tightly against her. Only to pull back in surprise as he flinched when she touched him. She looked at her fingers, surprised to see them covered in blood.

"Kaname, why are you still bleeding?" she asked.

"It will stop," he said simply.

"That's stupid," she snapped. "Let me look at it."

"Yuuki," he said "I'll be fine, there is no need for you to look at it."

She looked at him with her eyes hard. She didn't say anything but she didn't need to. It was quite evident from her expression that she would see his wound with or without his compliance. He sighed deeply and reached up to unbutton his shirt for her, moving a little gingerly from the wounds he had sustained in his battle with Kiryuu. He had to give it to that hunter. The boy was actually good. Yuuki quickly became impatient with his slow progress and brushed his hands aside to undress him herself.

"Yuuki, I can undress myself," Kaname said a little testily. I have been alive for longer than I care to remember. "I'm not a child."

"Maybe I want to do it," she said with a sly smile. "Besides, how many opportunities will we have for me to play nurse-maid to you? Unless of course you and I have a fight," she added with a suggestive raise of her eyebrow.

As comprehension dawned on Kaname, he was content to let her do as she pleased. "I had no idea you were bored with our lovemaking already Yuuki," he said in a mock-hurt tone. "That doesn't bode well for the rest of eternity."

She just smiled and blushed at what he had said. She was still not used to the idea of sex with any man, let alone her brother. "Who said that this was leading to that?" she asked innocently. "I just wanted to make sure that you were ok after your fight with Zero. What was it about anyway?" She gently tapped his unhurt shoulder, wordlessly asking him to sit so she could take off his shirt. He obliged her as he wondered if he should tell her that he and Zero had been fighting over her. A little frustrated with his silence, Yuuki was a little rougher than she could have been in taking off his shirt. She instantly felt bad though when he let out a small gasp of pain.

"I'm sorry," she whispered gently kissing his bare shoulder. "I should not have given into my frustration."

"Does it bother you so much to not know what caused us to fight?" Kaname asked, turning his head to survey her with his garnet eyes.

"Yes," she answered honestly. Then she looked away from his eyes to examine his injuries. His torso was littered with bruises that had yet to fade. And on his right shoulder was what was unmistakably a gunshot wound. "I never thought he would actually shoot you," she said tears filling her eyes as she gently touched the ragged edge of the wound. "At least he didn't actually kill you," she whispered hugging Kaname from behind. "I couldn't have lived with that. I don't know that I can forgive him for this."

Kaname chose not to tell her that if not for Seiren he would be dead now and that Kiryuu had actually tried. He couldn't bear to bring her such pain. He also couldn't let her hate Zero for something that had been mutual combat either, as much as it pained him to defend that Level D. "Yuuki, he and I both said provocative and cruel things to one another. And as much as I hate to admit it, he was probably justified in shooting me."

She looked at him in shock, "What the hell were the two of you talking about that led to that!" she demanded.

Kaname shifted uncomfortably then said, "You."

"Me?" she demanded. "What would make either of you think that fighting over me would be a good thing?"

Kaname could tell that he might be in trouble with her if he didn't answer that question carefully and figured that the truth was probably the best thing. "Well, for me, I can't speak for him of course, I was defending you to some extent. He caught the two of us together," he said. What is it about this girl. I could easily destroy her if she attacked me, but I don't want to anger her. This is not like me usually I would say what I wanted to in this situation and damn the consequences.

"unhuh," she replied her eyes narrowing. "So how do you figure he was justified in shooting you if all you did was defend me?" Kaname had no desire to tell her what he had said to Zero and decided it might be time for a change of topic.

"Yuuki," he said in a soothing voice, "Can we please do this later?"

"Why," she asked.

"Because I'm thirsty and wounded," he said gently.

It had the effect he had wanted because instantly her eyes widened and her face showed her regret. "I'm so sorry Kaname-oni-sama. I forgot that you would need blood. Is that why these wounds have not healed yet?"

"It's fine, dear one," he said pulling her against him with his good arm. "This is easily fixed." She came to him gladly and tipped her head to the side exposing her neck so he wouldn't have to do it with his wounded arm. He licked up the side of her neck gently and then whispered "I'm sorry" before he plunged his fangs into the soft skin of her neck. He felt a twinge of sorrow as he felt her body tense as his fangs broke this skin but it was soon lost in the pleasure of her blood. Though he was thirsty, he intended to take just enough to satisfy his basic needs and sate the thirst for now, even though she could have withstood him taking more as she had just gorged herself on Kiryuu's blood.

Yuuki felt the initial pain of the bite and felt her body flinch and herd her involuntary gasp of breath but soon the pain faded to an exquisite bliss like she had never experienced. Aidou had been right; the sound of Kaname drinking her blood thrilled her. It made her feel powerful that he needed her to help him satisfy his basic needs of survival, but she realized that she needed him for the same and that they were finally the equals she had always wished they could be. They were meant for each other. Too soon for her taste he quit feeding and she was worried that he had not taken enough to even heal himself, let alone feed himself. She was impressed to watch the wounds on his body heal, bruises fading before her eyes and the gunshot wound closing up.

"We really are fascinating creatures, aren't we?" she said, wonder shining in her eyes at what she was witnessing. He was pleased to see the fascination in her eyes but was not willing to get shot on a regular basis to see it more often.

He just smiled and reached up to put a hand gently on the side of her face to pull her into a passionate kiss. Surprisingly tasting her blood on his tongue excited Yuuki in ways that she still didn't fully understand. Letting that excitement and passion take control, she reached with one hand to grab a handful of his hair and let the other hand stroke him through his pants. He gasped into her mouth, he hadn't been expecting her to do that. Smiling against his lips, she lightly nipped him on the lip careful to use only her front teeth and not her fangs. He whispered her name, gently and reverently as though it were a prayer that would shatter and cease to be effective if it was said too loudly.

Though Kaname would never admit it to anyone, this slightly dominant and totally self-assured Yuuki made him horny. Though he had always loved her, she had always been so innocent and child-like. This Yuuki was a woman, and was a strong enough woman to reign beside him as queen when the time came for them to seize power. But there was another part of him that refused to give her complete dominance and this was the part that rolled her onto the bed rather than let her stay in a position of power in this game of foreplay. For no matter what she had said a little earlier, they both had known where this was headed when they entered this room. She breathlessly gasped his name in surprise at her sudden change in position, but took it rather well.

Her hands began to roam his upper body as his tongue and teeth explored hers. The feeling of his teeth on her skin was amazing, even the slight pain from where his fangs scraped her only served to fuel her desire for the man above her. When he gently bit her nipple through her nightgown she let out an involuntary moan and blushed as she saw the look on his face. The only word for it was smug. Yes, Kaname was looking at her smugly. Well, she thought, two can play at that game. And then she surprised him again by flipping him over onto his back and taking control once more.

"Yuuki," he said in quiet protest at her action.

She just smile down at him from her position astride him and put one delicate finger to his lips. "Shhhh," she said. "It's my turn." She pinned his wrists with her hands and began to explore his upper body with her mouth.

Truth be told, Kaname could have just flipped her back over had he wanted to, and would when he decided it was time, but he was too intrigued by what she had planned to do so yet. Yuuki was not sure what would really cause him pleasure but she imitated all of the things that he had done that she had enjoyed and was surprised at the reactions she got from her dear brother. She laughed gently and leaned forward to whisper in his ear, "You make such interesting noises, oni-sama." She was surprised to see that the skin around his ear covered in goose bumps at the touch of her breath. I wonder what happens when I do this, she thought as she gently and slowly ran her tongue up the skin below and behind his ear. In response Kaname clenched his hands and his neck elongated as he breathed her name.

"Is it my turn yet," Kaname asked in a slightly breathless tone. He had had no idea that she would prove to be so good at this so quickly. She had already figured out trick Kaname hadn't known. But despite his long life, he had to admit that he hadn't had that much experience with sex. More that Yuuki, but he was sure that there were mortals out there who had more experience than he did.

"Who says you get one," she asked seriously, her eyes glinting with mirth and passion. Slightly dissatisfied with where she was as it limited what she was able to do, she slid off his chest onto the bed beside him. Slowly she trailed a hand down his chest to play with the button of his pants. She looked at him shyly and lifted an eyebrow in question. With her prodigious skills with her mouth he had forgotten that this was only her second time to actually have sex (he was choosing to try to forget what had happened earlier and didn't think that she would count it either). He nodded gently and watched her as she gently unsnapped the button/snap. Then he helped her to remove his pants and underwear and laid back down to let her do what she wanted.

She reached out slowly and touched him. She was surprised at the smoothness of his skin. The skin of his upperbody was smooth, but this was more of a silky quality. She gently ran a finger along his penis but stopped when she heard him let out a low hiss. "I'm sorry!" she said pulling her hand back. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me," he said in a quiet voice. "I enjoy your touch Yuuki. Please continue." At his invitation she stretched her hand out again and began stroking him with more fingers this time. Her feather light caresses did things to Kaname: ungodly things. He closed his eyes reveling in her touch and trying not to allow any of the noises rising up his throat to escape for fear of stopping her again.

Even though he was trying to suppress them, Yuuki could still hear the quiet noises coming from Kaname and by listening to them figured out quickly which of the ways she was touching him he liked the most and made sure that they were the ones she used most. Soon he shifted his hips a little on the bed and gripped the sheets in pleasure.

It was too much for Kaname. He didn't care if it was "her turn," he wasn't going to last much longer if he let her keep doing what she was doing. That girl had a talent for pleasure. "My turn," he said sitting up suddenly and rolling her beneath him again.

"Who says you get a—" Yuuki asked her last words cut off in a moan as Kaname reached between her legs and rubbed her. Kaname found that he really liked that noise and did it again to get her to make it again, which she did. Her hands came up to grip his shoulders and her breath was already coming in pants. He gave it a second and then stroked her again. She arched her back a little, eyes wide as she looked at him. The look on her face was so precious that he had no choice but to lean in and kiss her. She kissed him back with passion he had never expected.

"Please," she breathed in his ear. He needed no clarification as to what she meant and gently slid himself into her. They both let out appreciative moans and smiled at the other. Then they both began to move, both knowing that this wasn't going to last long this time. As a particularly strong wave of passion hit her, Yuuki's hands curled a little driving her nails into his shoulders and drawing blood. The smell of his blood in the air increased both of their passions and drove them over the edge of sanity. In their passion, they each bit the other not for food, but as a way of releasing the pent up forces within their body and giving into the animalistic urges they had. Unlike their first time, this was all power and passion and could almost have been described as violent, though neither intended to cause the other harm. Eventually they both reached climax, Yuuki sliglthy before Kaname and they collapsed together in a sweaty heap.

Kaname was looking at Yuuki's face, soft in the aftermath of lovemaking and saw when her eyes fluttered open. She extended one small hand and touched a smear of blood on the skin between his neck and shoulder. "I'm sorry I bit you," she said with a smile. This made Kaname laugh, a vampire apologizing for biting her mate. It was such a pleasant sound that Yuuki decided she needed to do what she could to hear more of it in the future. Her brother didn't laugh enough. He was too serious for his age.

"I love you Yuuki," Kaname said traces of his laughter still present in his voice.

"I love you too Kaname," Yuuki said gently kissing his lips as she had wished to do so many times.

Zero awoke slowly, his entire body aching and the burning feeling of intense thirst in his throat. Without opening his eyes, he turned the sound of a heartbeat in the room and began approaching it silently. Then he grabbed a handful of hair and tipped the neck to the side and took what his body needed. The blood that flowed down his throat was rich and filling and despite his injuries and thirst, he was soon sated. Only then did he open his eyes to find himself staring straight into the eyes of his victim.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he yelled into the familiar face. Only to get a sardonic smile in response.
