Chapter VIII

"Drink." Sayuri ordered extending his left wrist to the pink haired male. Ran scowled frustrated; irritated; disgusted, flash-stepping back with his deep blue orbs fixed on the other man's reddish wrist.

"I... I don't… want it." Ran stuttered insecure. A sudden desire bloomed inside his body. "I don't need your blood!" The pink haired mage yelled as if trying to get rid of that undesirable will. He kept walking back, unfortunately being stopped by the rough and cold wall of the cavern after a few more steps. He was scared and disgusted with himself; trying his hardest to resist to that tempting red liquid.

Sayuri took a deep breath and scratched the back of his head frustrated. He had no reasons to feel in such a way because he already knew that the other man hated him and would never agree with whatever he demanded or decided; yet, somehow, after having his blood sucked by Ran, Sayuri thought that maybe Ran had accepted him and his own fate. But, as usual, Sayuri was wrong. But even if Ran couldn't accept him as his soul mate, he still needed to drink the orange haired man's blood, otherwise...

"Listen, I know that you... hate... me but even so, please drink my blood Ran."Sayuri begged looking the pink haired mage in the eyes.

"I already told you killer, I do not need your dirty b-"

The orange haired vampire flash-stepped towards the beautiful mage, trapping him against the wall; he wouldn't let Ran escape anymore.

He closed more the gap between their faces, to the point where their noses were brushing against each other, and then Sayuri's light azure eyes stared straight at Ran's, intimidating the man.

"You will drink my blood, or else terrible things will happen to you." Sayuri warned the pink haired male with a serious tone of voice and expression plastered on his face.

"Did you understand, Ringo?"

"Don't you dare to say that name over again!" Ran's sharp fangs grew threateningly as he warned the older vampire.

"Heh..."Sayuri smirked, and moved his right hand to the pink haired male's face lifting his chin up. "So it annoys you when I call you that... But just so you know, I have all the right in the world to call you by your real name."

"What?" The scowl on his face deepened with Sayuri's words. The rage inside Ran just kept growing stronger and stronger the more that killer talked; even more if he dared to talk about such important things to Ran. That damned killer... He deserved death; so Ran's life would come back to normal.

The smirk on Sayuri's mouth widened, and he decided to take his provocation even further. The older vampire moved his hand from Ran's chin to the back of his head. He was enjoying this so much... It wasn't the provocation per se; it was the fact of knowing that Ran was unable to run away from him; he could see it in his eyes, that Ran needed him, his soul mate, to live. Even if he hated that; even if he complained, the mage couldn't escape from Sayuri and Ran was aware of that, that's why Sayuri felt the need to provoke him to this extent.

The orange haired vampire leaned his mouth to Ran's left ear and whispered, "Besides, you are very cute when you make that angry face."

Ran was angry. He felt extremely furious, like he had never felt before. That killer was playing with him; mocking him in the worst way possible by despising his deepest emotions. But, somehow, Ran felt too weak to argue back. He was irritated. Really irritated; yet that vampire's presence, his voice and his touch... The way his lips brushed against Ran's sensitive ear was more than enough to make him succumb to that wild and unwanted desire. Ran hated this. He hated it so much; yet he was unable to resist. He was at Sayuri's mercy.

The older vampire looked at Ran in the eyes one more time, expecting to observe a deep scowl of frustration on his face. However, what his eyes observed was a surprisingly luxurious expression.

Ran, also, stared at the hateful vampire with his half lidded red eyes full of lust and need. That strange and undesired will that had bloomed inside him instants before was now stronger making the mage lose control over his own body. There was something he wanted, and he knew that Sayuri would give him anything he desired.

Ran's tongue ran his upper lip hungrily and anxiously, seductively enough to make the vampire in front of him swallow hard. The mage entangled the other man's neck between his arms, pulling him down and closer to himself.

Sayuri was unable to reject his advances and leaned down, feeling the pink haired man's breath tickling his face. He moved his mouth, closer and closer to Ran's, finally expecting to connect them. However, when their lips lightly brushed together, Ran moved his mouth away to the older vampire's neck. Ran's fangs were desperate to penetrate Sayuri's flesh.

A week had passed since Ran had tasted the sweet flavor of Sayuri's blood, and now whenever he saw the man; whenever the vampire's scent filled his nose, Ran felt the need to dig his fangs deeply in Sayuri's neck. He missed the sensation of the other vampire's skin against his mouth and especially against his numb fangs. He missed the warm, addictive and vicious sensation of the orange haired man's blood sliding down through every inch of his throat, satiating his wild thirst. But what the pink haired mage missed the most, what he inexplicably craved for was Sayuri's touch and intense yet gentle stare. It was really frustrating but he couldn't help it.

However, although he felt such luxurious and desperate sensations because of the other vampire, Ran was afraid whenever the orange haired man was less than 5 steps away from him. His body always began to tremble uncontrollably and his heartbeat always fastened; to the point it hurt him to breathe and move.

Why? What was the meaning to such inexplicably feelings and sensations? Ran was afraid, yet he wanted to find out.

Even though the pink haired mage had decided to discover the reason of his own reactions, another week had passed and the older vampire still avoided him. Sayuri never looked Ran in the eyes; his voice while talking to him was as cold as ice, and his touch was, of course, the thing Ran never felt again.

Yet, Sayuri had begun to give him blood once again, so the pink haired mage had been drinking the other vampire's blood. Sayuri made sure to give Ran a thin tube full with his own blood day yes and day no. Nevertheless the emptiness Ran felt whenever he needed blood was never again filled. He had, of course, figured out the reason. Supposedly, even though his thirst was always satisfied, he needed to drink blood directly from Sayuri's body to finally be able to fill that inexplicable, frustrating and unnecessary emptiness completely.

"Tsk, useless concerns. I will just do whatever I want. That's my way of living." The mage thought gritting his teeth tightly in rage and anxiety. He was tired of feeling so fucking fragile because of that bastard. If the orange haired vampire expected him to remain quiet and obedient to him, a damn vampire... a fucking killer, he would regret it.

"Here, your food of the next two days." Sayuri said throwing a thin tube full with his own blood to the mage. Ran's reflexes worked fast; the mage grabbed the tube without stopping what he had been doing for the last three weeks. Honestly Sayuri did not know why the younger vampire had been reading so many books about medicine lately, but as long as Ran didn't start any kind of commotions then Sayuri could have some peace to think about his own life.

Three weeks... It had passed three weeks already since the last time Sayuri approached Ran more than necessary. He had stopped looking at him, talking to him happened when needed only, and he always kept a certain distance from Ran. The orange haired male did not want to succumb to his wild and forbidden desires. He knew that if he felt Ran's being too near, then he would be completely unable to resist him.

The last time he had felt Ran's fangs penetrating the skin of his neck, Sayuri had finally understood how strong his feelings towards the other vampire were. The meaning behind their connection; the meaning of having found his soul mate, Sayuri had finally understood everything. And because of that, Sayuri knew he had to be away from the mage, otherwise he would do something that later he would regret.

"I will be back in two days." The older vampire informed leaving the cavern. When Ran looked in Sayuri's direction, the other male was no longer in sight.

"Tsk."

"Today… Today for sure I will do it." Ran muttered to himself as he walked from side to side inside the cavern. "But…" He stopped suddenly, too frustrated to walk one more step. "How many times have I said this already? That bastard keeps avoiding me, barely coming here, and it's already been a month and half." He sighed, feeling defeated. "Why must I feel this way? I hate that murderer so much, yet I want him near me." Ran supported his forehead against the wall hoping that the cold material would in any way wash his stupid and incomprehensible feelings away.

"What are you doing? Is that one of your spells?" The pink haired mage's heartbeat fastened. He quickly looked in the direction of that soft tone of voice; his baby blue eyes widening slightly.

"Oi are you okay?" Ran's surprised expression softened with the older vampire's concerned tone of voice and stare.

"What is this?" The pink haired mage felt too weak suddenly.

"Ran?" Sayuri walked towards the mage; approaching him slowly. Ran's heart was beating faster and faster. It was starting to be painful…

"What is this feeling?" Ran thought shutting his eyes tightly for a second. When he opened them once again, Sayuri was right in front of him with his right arm stretched out towards him and his hand almost touching his forehead.

"Eh- Is he going to…" Sayuri's large hand interrupted his thoughts for a moment, as it was, finally, gently supported against Ran's forehead. "…touch me."

"Ryuuya."

"R-Right now…" Before Sayuri could try to process what had happened seconds ago, he felt Ran's arms embracing him warmly. The surprise of such an unexpected act made him freeze. "Ran?"

"Don't leave me again." The pink haired male muttered softly as his fangs grew inside his mouth.

"W-Wait…" Sayuri tried to beg but in vain. Ran's fangs were painfully but gently dug on the warm flesh of his neck. Sayuri instinctively returned the embrace unable to restrain his strong feelings any longer.

"I don't care anymore. I will stop fighting against my feelings." The orange haired vampire thought decided to not run away ever again.
