Hello!! Well, I thought I would have updated this sooner, but my holidays were unexpectedly busy, so I'm very sorry!

So here is the next chapter!

Things were awkward between Makoto and Ageha the next day. Ageha could tell that Makoto was thinking a lot, and he seemed to not notice things going on around him. By the time school was finished, Ageha was very worried. What if by him running out of the room, it made Makoto think he didn't want to be with him anymore? Fed up with the tension in the air and wanting to put things straight, he spoke to Makoto.

"Makoto, I'm sorry."

"Hm?" Makoto looked over at Ageha, who had his head down while they walked home from school.

"I'm sorry for leaving yesterday. I still love you, and I still want to be with you, if that's what you are thinking."

"Oh, no, that's not what I was thinking, sorry."

"Oh, well, what have you been thinking about today?" Ageha looked up, confused.

"Um, about last night, when I scraped my teeth against your neck. I just, had this feeling come over me, and I'm not sure what it was. When you pushed me off you, I didn't know what to think. But I've thought about it now, and I think I frightened you, am I right?"

"Um, yeah, actually." Ageha said, shocked and embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."

"That's ok. I just wasn't expecting your teeth there suddenly. I thought you would bite me." Ageha said, laughing slightly. Makoto looked down. Ageha then realised it; he would have bitten him.

"I'm sorry." They both suddenly said at the same time. They blushed and looked away from each other.

"I shouldn't have done that."

"No, let's talk about it."

"Talk about it?" Makoto asked. What was there to say? He was in the wrong, and he knew that. What else was there to say but to apologise?

"Mako, I love you, but I'm not sure about drinking each other's blood yet. From what I know, I think it creates something between the two, or takes something away. I just, I want to find out more before we do that. We don't know what would happen if a vampire drank another vampire's blood."

"Alright. Do you want to talk to Kiyoi about it?"

"Yeah, I think I might."

"Ok." They were quiet for a while, walking side by side.

"Ageha?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you, for understanding." Ageha smiled.

"Kiyoi, can I talk to you?" Ageha said later that night. He had found Kiyoi in his study.

"Of course. What is it about?"

"Um, last night, when we were kissing, Makoto tried to bite me."

"He did?" Kiyoi asked. There was a flash of an emotion behind his eyes, but Ageha couldn't tell what it was.

"Yeah. So we talked about it today, and I was thinking; what would happen if he did bite me?"

"Well, it depends."

"I know that if I drank another vampire's blood then the bond between you and I would go away, but what if he bit me?"

"I'm not too sure on the matter, Ageha, but I do know some things. When a vampire bites a human, usually nothing happens, but if that same human drinks the vampire's blood too, they will turn into a vampire."

"Like what we did when I was younger."

"Yes. And, as you know, a bond forms between those two."

"Yeah."

"When a vampire that was turned from human drinks a different vampire's blood, that bond dissolves."

"Would the vampire still have his powers?"

"Yes."

"So what would happen if that vampire drank the other vampire who was turned's blood too?"

"A bond would form between those two."

"So if I drank Makoto's blood, and he drank mine, then we would form a bond together?"

"Yes, but you would also lose that bond that you and I already have."

"Oh." Ageha looked down. He wanted to form a bond between himself and Makoto, but was it really worth it if he had to lose Kiyoi's bond?

"So why did Makoto try to bite you? Has he not been having enough blood?" Kiyoi sounded concerned.

"Um, I don't know. He just said this strange feeling came over him."

"Hmm... Has he tried this before?"

"No. And it's weird, because I know he feels uncomfortable drinking fresh human blood. Because of the first time he drank from a human, he thought he had killed the person so he's afraid to do it again. So, I'm a bit confused about that fact."

"Have you ever thought about drinking his blood?" Kiyoi asked. Ageha looked at him weirdly.

"No. Why?"

"Ok. I was just wondering. Well, if that's all, I should be getting back to work."

"Ok, thanks, Kiyoi."

"Anytime, Ageha."

Ageha left Kiyoi's office. As he walked back to his room, he thought about what Kiyoi said. Did he really have to lose his bond with Kiyoi if he wanted to bond with Makoto? He wanted to be with Makoto forever, and bonding would be one way to guarantee that, but if bonds could be so easily broken by just drinking another vampire's blood, was it really worth losing Kiyoi's bond to be with Makoto?

Ageha entered the room that he shared with Makoto and found the other fast asleep already. He smiled. Makoto really did look so peaceful and serene when he slept. Quietly so as to not wake the other, he hopped into bed and wrapped an arm around Makoto.

"Ageha, you forgot your lunch." Makoto said, holding up the other's lunch box that afternoon. The two were on the roof top, eating their lunch peacefully together. So far they had not received any criticism from others regarding their relationship, and everyone in their class had stopped giving them death glares.

"Oh, thanks." Ageha grabbed the box from Makoto and Makoto sat down next to him.

"So what did Kiyoi say yesterday?" He asked, taking a bite of his lunch.

"Well, um, he said if we drank each other's blood, then we would bond."

"Bond? What does that mean?"

"You know, have really strong feelings for each other, know when each other is in danger, understand each other better, that sort of thing."

"I already have strong feelings for you." Ageha blushed.

"I know, but they would be even stronger."

"So, should we do it then?"

"I don't know. They can be easily broken from what Kiyoi told me."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Let's think about it for a bit longer, ok?"

"Sure."

Ageha went back to his lunch, but he didn't feel like eating. He had deliberately not told Makoto that if they bonded then his and Kiyoi's bond would break. He felt bad for not telling him the whole truth, but he still wasn't sure what he wanted to do.

Ooh! So, will they bond or not? I hope everyone understood what was going on when Kiyoi and Ageha were talking.

Please review and tell me what you think!!! I appreciate it very much!!
