Chapter 5: The blood on the paws

Zero's POV-

As I ran down the windy corridors I began feeling bad, what if I caused Ryu to become a monster like me? Why do I even feel concern for her in the first place? I never felt so worried over another in all my life, I only cared about myself for as long as I can remember… so why should I care about some girl? Some girl I've only known for 2 days, only seen her smile a couple times when I walked in on her talking to a picture of a woman who looked exactly like her... I once walked in on her changing, but I quickly left the room.

"Fantasizing over that girl again, right? You naughty boy…" I heard a voice from behind me. I growled and turned. "What I think of is none of your business…. Ichiru…" I looked at my brother for the third time after the attack.

Ichiru's POV-

"What I think of is none of your business… Ichiru…" Zero said, growling having his head down. "So I guessed right? Well, she is very pretty… I might talk to her sometime…" I smirked at my meaning of 'talking'. "You sick… stay away from Ryu!" He barked at me. "Aww, you love her don't you? Well, I can tell you right now," I came close and whispered in his ear, "No one would ever want a monster like you…"

Ryu's POV-

I sat in the kitchen, my hand on my lips. What did I just do? I-I let him just… take my first kiss! I licked my lips and I went into the mirror. I looked at my reflection and saw how swollen my lips were.

I thought I heard something from the hallway and I walked out the kitchen. There I saw Ichiru and Zero. I blinked a couple times and blushed. I felt hot with embarrassment. "U-um… Am I interrupting anything?" They turned and looked at me. Ichiru slowly walked up to me, "Why, aren't you gorgeous? No wonder my brother wants you so bad…" I saw Zero tense. "Stay the hell away from Ryu!" Zero yelled, running up to his brother, tackling him.

I heard a thud and blinked. Whoa, they're so fast and powerful. I saw them blurring, fighting too fast for my eyes to catch. Ichiru pinned his brother down and kept him down with knives in his clothes. "D*nm it!" He yelled, fighting against the knives. Ichiru once again rose up and sauntered over to me. He put his hand on my chin, putting his hand flat on the wall, blocking my escape routes.

"I was only trying to anger Zero, but now…. I think I want you for my own this time…." His smirk was flirtatious and dark. My face became hot and red. "U-u-um… w-w-why do y-y-you want m-m-me?" My eyes were slightly widened. "Because," He started, getting closer, a hairs breath away from my lips, "your smell, your look…," he licked my neck, "your taste… everything about you…. Is tempting…" He licked my lips and pulled away, smirking.

"I don't have much time, otherwise I would've continued, 'till next time, my dear." With that, he walked away. Zero's anger was immense. He broke the knives and he ran after his brother, only to not be able to find him. "D*nm it…" He said, angered. He looked over at me, "You okay, Ryu?" I shook my head, "N-n-not really… t-today's been a lot, you know?" I half smiled. Zero wrapped his arms around me and had his head down. "I'm sorry…. Ryu…" His head was in the crook of my neck.

I felt heat once again, blushing hard, "I-I-I-It's not a p-p-problem, Zero…" "No, it is. I bit you, what if you turn?" I shook my head, "It's impossible for me to turn; my race is immune to vampire bites along with any kind of poison. I'm a neko…" I said. My cat ears unflattened and they twitched. He looked up in astonishment, "N-no way…." "Yeah, I've hid these for as long as I can remember." He chuckled for a second, muttering, "I would fall for a cat…" I heard it only with my sensitive hearing.

"Z-z-zero…" My face was bright red, embarrassed but also slightly content. "Y-you really feel for me?" I asked him, curious.
