Dangerous Love Bite

Chapter 8: White

The door opened as the green haired teen held a key chain with two keys on it, though his friend did not see him. He quickly shut the door and locked it, making sure his step-mother wouldn't come in; even though she could just kick the door down.

"L-Luffy. Are you alright?" Yeah, yeah, he was risking the chance of getting bit, but he has been before and Daypire's can't do much damage except suck your blood. He knelt down to his friend and touched his hand that was griping at his locks. He pushed him away and started to shake.

"D-don't come near me…" The pale boy whispered fearfully. He didn't want to hurt his friend. He couldn't.

"Look at me." Zoro said as he grabbed his friend's hands and pulled them away from his head. "Look at me. I know what you are. That night, the blood, the red eyes, I had seen it all!" He almost shouted, but was quiet with his words. Not wanting the whole world to know. "I don't hate you for being one. I wouldn't even kill you if you were one. I won't turn you in to the Vampters! Just look at me." He didn't know why, but he felt like he was going to cry, but he didn't. Men do not cry. His friend slowly lifted his head as his eyes slowly opened with the movement. The pure red in his eyes was showing as he was thirsty. He was clenching his jaw as he was preventing himself from jumping his friend and taking some of his blood.

"I… I don't want t-to hurt you, Z-Zoro." He whispered in stutters. He was trying so hard to control himself, but his self-control was slipping.

"You won't." The green haired teen responded as he looked at his resisting friend. He really was trying hard to resist and the swordsman could tell. He felt his heart beat a little faster as he was going through possibilities. He decided on one. He leaned down and hugged his friend. His neck exposed near the other's mouth.

"Z-Zoro." He whispered as his neck was right there. He could see the vein, the vein filled with sweet smelling blood.

"Go ahead," Zoro said in a whisper.

"A-are you s-sure?" Luffy was about to cry from how much it hurt to resist. His friend nodded and he hesitated. He slowly licked the man's neck and slowly bit into the spot. The person beneath him tightened his grip on the Daypire's shirt. It hurt, but he could handle it. As the Daypire was enjoying the taste he grabbed his friend's shoulders and gripped on them. Human blood tasted so sweet and scrumptious that he wanted all of it. He resisted that temptation and soon pulled his teeth out. He licked the puncture wound, making his friend shudder at the feeling. The brunette hugged his friend. "I-I'm sorry." He whispered as his body started to shake. He started to cry as his friend held him.

"It's okay, Luffy. Don't cry." The door opened behind him.

"Human, you must step away from the Daypire." He looked back at the one man he wished to never see again.

"Crocodile." He growled and held tighter on the crying boy. He was freaking scared senseless.

"Step away, he's ours and we will expose of him." The wretched man said. The pale boy soon stopped and gulped the lump in his throat hard. As this happened the swordsman was trying to figure out how to unlock the glass door without being stopped. A squeeze from his friend stopped him.

"Trust me." Luffy whispered lowly almost inaudible and received a nod from the older teen. Soon, he was picked up and the Daypire smashed through the glass door with his back. He had injured his arms doing that, but not making it bleed. He jumped on the balcony railing and jumped onto the roof. As he expected, reinforcements! He jumped to the neighbors building and held Zoro bridal style now. "Sorry for dragging you along." He whispered to his friend in his arms.

"It's alright… my step-mom will get over it." He started to wipe the blood off of his running friend's face. It was now dark and perfect for no one to see the running forms. Luffy jumped building to building and soon went into an alley way when he had lost the Vampters for a moment. He set Zoro down as they stayed quiet. His body was in front of the Human as he guarded him protectively. He heard it, the footsteps of his enemy. They were before him and he blocked the swordsman.

"Don't worry; we aren't going to injure your little friend. We just want you, Daypire." With the mention of his race he looked at his enemy. They weren't Daypire's, but they sure were Nighpire's. He recognized them. A special group of Nighpire's that worked under the head Vampter. They helped hunt down the hardest Vampire's to catch; which included him. Crocodile has been close to catching him four times now, but always lost him. Now he had him and he wasn't giving in easily. The special group was called CP9. The bastard's weren't going to leave his friend alone, he knew that much. He hissed at his enemy and held his guard. "Over protective much. So you have heard of us." Their eyes shined with red as well as the young Daypire's. The green haired teen was shocked by all of this as he stayed behind his friend, but carefully and quietly took out a dagger in its sheath from under his pants leg. He was always prepared.

"You won't get near him!" Luffy growled as he kept his stance. He didn't want to lose his best friend; especially to these Nighpire's. He protects people with his life; though he needs the blood. Right now he devoted himself to protecting Zoro. He did suck his blood and he owed him that one for the energy boost; nothing was going to happen to him. He was going to risk his life if he had to. His friend will be safe and that was end of discussion in his head. He glared at the men in front of him. One with black hair, which was back in a ponytail, approached them with long strides.

"We have no choice then." The man sighed and smirked slyly. He held his hand out to his men behind him. "Stay back, I got this one." He said before he attacked the Daypire. The Daypire blocked the punch and grabbed it. A kick landed on his side, but he stood his ground as he grunted at the slight pain. His free hand punched his way to the Nighpire's face, but he grabbed it. "Strong, aren't we now?" The enemy spoke as he hissed lightly. Soon they were separated and taking new stances. "Name's Lucci, by the way."

"Luffy, now shut up and leave me and him alone." He didn't say his name, but he probably knew it anyways.

"I'm sorry, that is not a choice, Daypire Luffy." Lucci said as he quickly appeared at the side and threw a dagger at Zoro. Luffy, on instinct, grabbed the dagger and yelp at the pain of it going through his hand.

"Luffy!" The swordsman yelled as he saw white blood spill from his hand. "What the…?"
