The Kiss f a Vampire

Chapter Five

"I am leaving, Relena." Heero said coldly.

Relena laughed a bit nervously. "You can't just leave. You have duties here, and you're going to marry me." She said.

"No. I'm not" Heero took a step back toward his room which happen to be what Relena was standing next to.

"Why do you want to go with him. I heard the two of you talking. Why would you want to leave me, your family." She looked stuck up at that moment, not caring, not the list bit worried that Heero would leave.

"There is nothing here for me Relena. No future, no life." Heero said coldly.

"What are you talking about, I'm your future, your life, you have a kingdom and money." Relena argued.

"And that means what, Relena?" Heero growled coldly. "I have told you before and I'll say it again...I do NOT love you." Heero walked closer. "I will Not marry you."

Relena stormed into Heero's room, glaring at Duo who was standing by the window, the curtains still drawn, but open a crack so that he could look through them. He looked up at Relena with disgust over his face.

"Get out!" Relena yelled with her hands on her fluffy pink covered hips

Duo just laughed a bit and looked back out the window. Relena glared and threw open the curtains when she saw the mirror behind Duo, lacking a certain person. The sun hit Duo and he back away, holding his gloved hand over the side of his face that was touched from the sun. He hissed in pain and backed into a shadow.

"Relena!" Heero growled as he entered the room and slapped the girl hard. He closed the curtains and went over to Duo.

Part of Duo's face was burned and he was glaring at the girl. "He's a vampire, you choose a vampire over a princess, he's brainwashed you." Relena cried out.

"It was his choice that I am even alive Relena." Heero remove his shirt to reveal the marks on his neck. "I will not allow him to drink of that filth you call blood that runs through your veins." Heero turned back to Duo and offered him his bare neck.

Seeing the skin and not being able to resist temptation any longer he bit into Heero's neck, his arms wrapping around Heero's waist. Heero's eyes closed allowing the Vampire to drink all he wanted.

"HEERO!" Relena cried. "What have you done to my love?"

Duo pulled away before Heero lost to much body. He bit into his own wrist and offered it to Heero. Glaring at Relena as he did so. Heero's hand slid around the back of Duo's wrist gently pulling it to his lips. He licked the broken skin and kissed it as he began to drink the thick crimson liquid.

"Heero, no, you'll become one of them." Relena cried, falling to her knees near Heero. Duo grabbed her face in his free hand and held the struggling girl there. His nails digging into her skin.

"Aahhh." Heero moaned at first as he felt the change start from within him. His eyes shot open and he fell to his knees in a vast pain. It felt like his body was being torn apart as the pain entered his lungs and veins. He could not breath for it felt like death had reached its black hand of bone down his throat, but still he refused to scream.

Duo knelt down to him and pulled him into his free arm, his wrist healing quickly. His grip still on Relena's face.

Heero started to shake. He felt cold and thirsty. Even more so then the other night when he had journeyed to the kitchen during the hours of the moon light. His cerialin blue eyes started to glow as he sat in the shadows at the vampire's feet. His gaze fell upon the trembling girl before him. They saw past the frilly pink dress. Past the skin that was pail from her growing fear. He watched as the heart pumped the blood through her veins and his thirst grew. He could hear her heart beating, fast in its worry and panic. His canines grew as his jaw opened. He moved closer to his ex-fiancée and roughly jerked her to him as his teeth sank into her. She paled with every sip. She cried out in pain as his sips tore the liquid of life from her veins with all his hatred for her .

Duo smiled at the scene and waited patiently for his new love to finish his first meal. His own thirst growing at the site of the two. Heero stopped before Relena was completely drained. His teeth exited her neck and he looked into her eyes. "Perhaps now you will listen though I doubt it will change your fate." He licked the blood from his lips

"Why..."Was all she managed to get out. To weak to even move, let alone continue to talk.

"You look thirsty." Heero looked up Duo. "Would you like some?"

"Go ahead and finish her off, if you've had to deal with that thing for longer then a day, you deserve it, but we will hunt tonight, together." Duo said with a smile.

Heero nodded and drained Relena down to the last drop. "What now?" He asked as he stood leaving the pink leftovers on the hard, cold floor.

"We leave, if you have no one to say good bye to, then we can leave now." Duo said pulling Heero close to him, licking the blood from his lips.

"In the daylight?" Heero asked. "There is no one I wish to say good bye to."

"Very well love." A small wind swirled around them, there feet left the ground and darkness surrounded them. It felt like they were dropping, straight threw the floor, into the shadows that surrounded them. Small screams filled there ears, and ghostly hands reached out for them, but never touched them. Duo's arms were wrapped around Heero protectively and his cloak swirled around them like fire. Everything went still and their feet were on grey stone floors.

By that time Heero's arms were placed firmly around Duo's shoulders and his face into the tempting crook of his neck.

"Are you alright?" Duo asked, running his fingers along his back.

Heero pulled away and nodded as he looked around the room they were now in. It was a large chamber, with a bed that was large, and covered in black and red silk sheets and three comforters, two black, one red, of down feathers. There was a single large dark red wood dresser and also a large wardrobe of the same wood. The floor was a cold grey stone, covered in a black carpet around the bed, and blood red drapes hung from the four posts. There were no windows and the ceiling was high and dark, small squeaks could be heard and an occasional bat would take flight, resting somewhere else in the room. "This is my chamber, the rest of the mansion is pretty well lit, so I will wait until night fall to give you the tour." Duo said.

Heero nodded again taking in the layout of the room.

Duo removed his cloak revealing his thin body once more, his puffy white shirt and tight leather pants. He sat on the bed kicking off his boots and holding his hand out to Heero.

Heero laid on the bed next to Duo feeling oddly tired. Duo pulled the covers over them and closed his eyes to sleep. "No matter how much you sleep, the day will always drain you." Duo said.

"Hai." Heero said and closed his eyes

-----

"Duo's back and he brought someone with him." Wufei said, walking out from a shadow, caring Duo's warn cloak. He threw it into the laundry and smiled at Quatre. "This could be both, good, or bad." He added.

"Heero must have come earlier then expected." Quatre smiled "Poor human. He seemed so lost went I met him"

"Well, Quatre, I will tell you this, it's defiantly not a human and a vampire in that room." He smirked at Quatre and lifted his eyes brow.

"What is going on?" Trowa entered from the shadows behind them.

"Our king has brought home another." Wufei said with a smirk. Trowa nodded, having some suspicion on who the new one was.

"What's all this chatting about?' Zechs asked, coming into the room caring a bucket of water for the laundry.

"Heero has joined us." Trowa answered before he stepped back into the shadows.

"Oh really." Zechs said in a happy tone. Wufei and Quatre looked mildly surprised. "We were once his gauds."

"Oh." Wufei said. "That's interesting. Duo usually doesn't take people from the same place, but he's chosen three now. Hmm." Wufei sat down in the chair and thought for a moment. "This Heero, must mean something to him if he's willing to make his life here comfortable with familiar faces." He said at last.

"Serving Heero was kind of a pain. The boy was always cold and never let a soul in." Zechs said a little amused. "He was never a bad lad, though."

Wufei lifted an eye brow. "Really, then why does Duo like him. Duo's hyper to say the least, lately he seems to have been distracted. He's scary, to say the least, but a forgiving master." Wufei said.

"That should be a nice change for the little Prince" Zechs smiled. "He has never had someone like that around him before."

"Well, I hope everything works out for the two of them, now come on we have to get the place cleaned for when Duo awakes, he doesn't like a messy house." Quatre said.

"No, just a messy room." Wufei said with a smirk. "It helps to not have any guest." Quatre said with a sigh.

-----

Heero awoke and found himself in Duo's arms. Duo was watching Heero with a small smile on his lips. "Are you ready to get up, the suns setting now." Duo said.

"Hai." Heero said as he stood dislodging himself from Duo's hold. Duo got out from the bed also and removed his shirt, going to his closet and pulling out a purple loose shirt, that he could wear unbuttoned.

"Let's go fit you for some cloths." Duo said, leading Heero out of the room. the rest of house was decorated similar to Duo's room, just a lot cleaner, and something's carried the Eltwo shield on them.

"Are we in Eltwo?" Heero was a little shocked but he did not let it show. He had just made that up before. "Next thing ya know you'll be telling me that you really are the prince"

"I stopped being a prince over five hundred years ago." Duo said with a smirk, pulling open a curtain to show Heero the city below them. Lit up with thousands of lights.

"That's a very odd coincidence" Heero said as his eyes fell upon the city below.

"Your bath is ready m'Lord" a serving girl bowed and walked off.

Duo smiled. Looks like his servants went out and hired new help. He would have to thank them later. Duo started walking towards the baths. "You may look around if you wish, we will leave for a hunt in an hour, be ready. Quatre should be down in the kitchens, he can find you some cloths." Duo said, he entered a room and shut the door.

Heero took off looking for the kitchen making a mental map of the castle as he went.

"Well, hello again." Quatre said seeing Heero stepping into the kitchen.

"I was told to see you about clothes..." Heero gave Quatre a small bow of the head as he closed the door behind him.

"Um… did he say whether you need servants cloths or masters cloths?" Quatre asked.

"No" Heero said. "All I know is that I am to go hunting with him in an hour."

"Well, then Master's cloths it is. So don't bow to me any more." Quatre said with a laugh and lead Heero towards the laundry room.

"It's a habit." Heero said as he followed the little blond.

"And I thought you were a prince." Quatre said, handing Heero a shirt and a pair of pants.

"I was but having the mingle with other Royals will do that." Heero said as he changed.

"Oh, I guess I can understand that." Quatre laughed. "I have never seen Duo bow to anyone. Not even when he was a prince." He said thoughtfully. "But being born of the blood will do that too you." He smiled at Heero. "You look great. Now if anything happens to the outfit, don't fret over it, I can mend it up easily." He said. Heero looked at it in a mirror and nodded at the sight of the floating cloths.

Wufei came in then, and bowed to Heero. "My name is Wufei, a pleasure of meeting you sir." He said.

"Hn" Heero said retaining his princely ways.

Wufei smiled. "I guess Zechs was right."

"About what?" Heero asked as he put on his jacket

"You're cold." He said simply. "Can't even greet anyone with a simply Hello." He just smiled and left the room, taking with him a few sheets, and a pillow.

Heero left and made his way back to were Duo had left him by the window. Duo came out exactly an hour after he had entered and smiled at Heero. His hair was pulled back into a braid that ended halfway down his back, and hung loosely to the back of his knees. He wore pants that seemed tighter then the last ones, his shirt was loose and revealed a great deal of his pale chest.

Heero said nothing. He merely waited for the Dark King to speak to him.

"Are you hungry?" Duo asked with a smile.

"Hai" Heero nodded in response.

----------

"Take your pick Heero." Duo said a few hours later. They were standing in the shadows of a near by neighborhood and watching the few people out of the streets, the people completely unaware of the danger lurking only a few feet away. He eyed the people as they passed. His eyes taking in every detail. "Blue haired women in the yellow dress."

"Okay, I know you're already quick, but wait until she passes a shadow and simply pull her in. Make sure she doesn't scream or she'll get the attention of the others." Duo explained.

Heero nodded and left Duo's side and strolling to the woman in the yellow dress. "The moon is quite beautiful tonight." Heero said as he strolled beside her.

"Yes, beautiful. I'm terrible busy right now, so if you don't mind." She walked a bit faster.

Heero disappeared into a shadow and waited for the woman to past the little alley he was now waiting for her in. As she passed he pulled her in covering her mouth with his hand and biting into her neck. Duo watched wish amusement and pulled a random person into the shadows, draining the young man of his blood and dropping the dead body to the ground. He disappeared into the shadow and snuck up behind Heero. "Did you enjoy it?" Duo asked smoothly.

"Hai, but here blood was bitter." Heero used a piece of the woman's dress to wipe the blood off his lips.

"Just remember the younger the sweeter, but if you get too young it'll be two sweet. I find anywhere between 20 to 30 a good range." Duo said with a chuckle.

Heero nodded and glazed back at the people "They remind me of cattle."

"They are, we are a whole other breed." Duo said, licking the small drop of blood off Heero's lips that had been missed. "It'll be dawn in a few hours I think we should get back. I've been neglecting my duties this past week." Duo said stepping back into the shadows. Heero followed uncertain of what would happen next. It was the same as before, it felt like dropping, screams filled there ears and ghostly hands reached out but never touched them. Then they simple stepped out in one of the halls of Duo's mansion.

"I don't think I will get use to that." Heero said as he stepped away from Duo.

"I actually find it amusing." Duo said heading towards his great hall. He meet Wufei half way there. Heero did the one thing he could do. He followed yet again.

"There are a few people who want to talk to you. Howard, Noin, and Trieze." Wufei said. Duo nodded and turned to Heero. "Are Vampires the only demonic beings you have seen?" Duo asked with a smile.

"Hai" Heero nodded.

"Then you will love this." Duo said mischievously.

"Hai" Heero's icy glare was back up as soon as they started walking again.
