Blood Five – Sanctuary
-
The pub door opened with a 'ding-a-ling' and Kyo entered with Yuya. The pub was only occupied with three to four customers, all wearing black. The big muscled barkeep smiled at them and clicked his fingers and the lights on the stage, where a girl wearing a red dress stands, were now on. She smiled, bearing fangs and started swaying as the music started and began to sing…
Hold me tight, don't let go
Until the sun rises
Will you be, here with me
When the battle passes?
Oh, the memories fade
But I'm right here with you
Oh, hold me tight
The song will always end for you
Bite me on my neck
Lick me 'til I'm fed
Don't stop until I'm dead
Oh harder, oh harder…
Kyo smirked and led Yuya to the nearest stool and prompted her to sit quietly. Yuya looked around her nervously as the other 'nice' customers stared at her being. She gulped before glancing at Kyo worriedly. Kyo just shook his head and ordered the barkeep to get him a bottled of beer.
"What would the lovely miss 'ere be havin'? Milk? Gwahahahah!" the barkeep winked at Yuya with his right eye as his left one was patched and she grimaced. The barkeep raised his eyebrows as he continued to wipe the glass he was holding. "So?"
Yuya just forced a smile. She knew there could never be milk in a bar like this. "I don't drink… so, just water would be nice."
"You should drink, you've been through a lot… hey, a glass of beer for her too," Kyo ordered. Yuya just sighed and looked down to stare at her small hands.
"That's okay with me!" the barkeep kept laughing and whistled as he pulled out a big bottle of beer from the racks behind him and slammed it on the counter. He pulled out two clean glasses from below the counter and slammed it too, making Yuya jump.
The barkeep pulled out a corkscrew and undid the cork from the mouth of the bottle and then hurriedly poured the drink into the glasses. After he finished, he passed the glasses to both of them. "Drink up, it's on me."
Kyo smirked. "Really? Bontenmaru, you're really getting old…"
The barkeep known as Bontenmaru barked a laugh. "Nope, it's you who's getting old…"
Yuya stared at both of them, surprised. Bon glanced at her and took out something from the racks yet again. He passed the bottle containing white liquid to her. "Want milk? I got 'em too, ya know?"
Yuya took it with a faint blush. "Thank you… um; it's not what I had in mind but…"
Bontenmaru smiled at her before turning his attention to Kyo who was quietly drinking his beer. "So… any news about the whereabouts of them?" he questioned.
Kyo shook his head. "No, but I did meet up with 'young master' White…" he said through gritted teeth.
"Ah, Kyoshiro… so, how's he doin'? Still drooling over Sakuya's blood?" Bon joked and started to laugh but stopped immediately as Kyo narrowed his eyes at him. "Alright, alright… I'm just kiddin'… sheesh!"
"So… the Old Town seems quiet. No low-classes too… what's been happening around here since my absence?" Kyo inquired. "I was expecting an ambush from a certain someone too…"
"Well, Akari's been doin' his job nicely lately, sayin' that'd get her praise from you when you get back… he wiped some of them before you came here. You can still get the bloo-" Kyo stopped Bon before he continued.
"She doesn't know."
Yuya looked at him questionably. "Who doesn't know?"
"Mind your own business, little girl. Anyways, any rogues while I was away?" Kyo questioned again, not letting Yuya get any chance of asking him further.
"Nope, not of what me and Akari and Hotaru know off. Hotaru's been searchin' though; he needs more blood than expected." Bontenmaru pointed to a nearby man with a cloak, sitting alone, looking very down. "Blood's the only fun thing for him…"
"Well, since I'm back, I might as well allow him to hunt with me. Where's Akari?" Kyo looked around and saw that the singer was now not on the stage. "Where did he go?"
A pair of slender hands wrapped around his neck and someone leaned in closer to him. "Kyo… miss me?"
Yuya looked at the woman with a displeasured face. "Who's this woman?" she asked as she took a chug of the beer instead of milk. She spat out instantly seeing that it was the wrong drink.
The beautiful singer smiled at Yuya with a sultry look. "Well, I'm Akari. Did you like my singing?"
"It was nice… but, wait, YOU'RE Akari? That means you're a guy!" Yuya pointed an accusing finger at Akari's face which was shocked.
'Dang it! I'm BUSTED!' "But, oh, um, not really. I used to be a guy but now I'm a girl-" but before Akari can finish, Yuya's hands were already on her chest, groping his breasts. "HEY!" Akari slapped her hands away. "PERVERT!"
Yuya looked at her hands and imagined groping the breasts again in her mind. "Oh, they're not real…"
"Not that you'd have them…" Kyo butted in.
Yuya shot him a venomous glare. "You don't know! You've never- HEY!" Kyo's hand was now on one of her breasts…
…He then squeezed HARD…
"ARGH!" Yuya slapped his hand away. "THAT HURT!"
"Ah, I'm sorry; I forgot you're just a mere girl…" Kyo chuckled.
Now, it was Akari's turn to show displeasure…
"Kyo! Don't touch her in front of me! Do you want to break my dangerously fragile heart!" Akari said with much drama.
"Fragile? Want to prove it with a stake through it and we'll see how fragile it is?" Kyo smirked but his eyes showed dismay. He was seriously threatening him.
"Oh… al-alright…" Akari said with a low voice.
Bon witnessed the tension and was determined to de-tension-ize the situation. "Oh, why don't you drink up, Kyo? I'll get a room ready for you guys in a jiffy!" he turned to Yuya. "You too, young lady! Drink up!" he nervously started to pour more beer into her glass.
Bon shoved the glass back to her. "DRINK UP."
Yuya witnessed the tension too so she just gulped down the beer. Once it was safe in her stomach, she wobbled before resting her head on her hands and slept. Bon took a glance at Kyo and smirked. "Take her to the room upstairs, you can sleep there too if you want…"
Akari wanted to protest but Kyo glared at him. "Let me be. Take care of Hotaru, will you? He just fell off of his chair…"
Akari ran to Hotaru who was lying motionlessly on the floor. Lifeless. "HOTARU!"
Kyo walked away quietly with Yuya in his arms…

Kyo kicked the door open, entering the room with little interest. It's the only room suitable for him. It was HIS room. Dark crimson all around, the bed was inviting to him that night but he can't do so. He placed Yuya's motionless body, save for the movement of her chest, on the bed. He pulled the blanket away and rolled her body so that she was on the center of the bed. He then covered her with the blanket and secured her.
He sat down on the edge of his bed. He sighed, looking at his hands which were now trembling. He shook his head, trying to get whatever Sakuya had said to him before out of his head. Liquid fell from his mouth.
He looked down to his hands.
It was his drool.
He was drooling for her blood!
He turned to gaze at Yuya's sleeping form. Her steady breathing, heaved her chest, up and down steadily. Kyo turned to look at his reflection in the mirror opposite of him. He opened his mouth and saw that his fangs had grown, ready to suck blood!
He touched his fangs… he wanted no more than to grace it with Yuya's blood. He needed the blood too, so…
He turned to Yuya and leaned into her body. He stared at her neck. He took a deep breath before he bared his fangs to bite her. He nearly reached his goal… but he stopped.
He backed away and cursed himself. 'I shouldn't be doing this… I'm supposed to protect her!'
-
Sakuya hissed. "WHY DIDN'T HE PROCEED TO DO SO?" she shrieked.
"He hesitates… that's why… let Kyo be, we're the ones who need her blood… not him." Mahiro stared into her newly polished nails. "Kyo still has control over his lusts…"
Sakuya narrowed her eyes at Mahiro. "You, shut up! I nearly succeeded in doing this! If he drives crazy over doing this sin… I'd be able to lend him a hand and finally have him!"
Mahiro rolled her eyes. "Whatever…"
-
Yuya stirred from her sleep. She was disturbed by a certain smell… and she hated it. She slowly sat up from the bed. She glanced around and decided to get off of the bed but stopped when she saw the figure at the corner of the room.
She looked at him in horror before she screamed.
…Kyo was drinking blood… from a dead animal!

A/N: Ah, I didn't know what animal to use so I just put down dead animal… sorry it's short. I hope you guys liked this update. Read and review, please.
