Waves to everyone hello people! Thanks for all your great reviews! Sighs I know this chapter has taken awhile to get out, but I've been trying to catch up on all my homework and junk. Ah well, I'm finally getting to it which is what counts. A lot of you guys asked me last chapter to raise the rating and violence level, so I'm doing just that. Sorry if it took a few of you guys a little longer to find it now that it's in a new section. So anyways…. ACTION!
Yuki looked up and saw that Shuichi was still sitting on the ground with his former meal still in his lap. Seeing a mix of sadness and disgust go across Shuichi's face, he stood up and walked over to him. Reaching over, he picked up the still limp body of the former pizza man. Throwing the body over his shoulder, he looked down at Shuichi and saw that he still hadn't budged.
Yuki sighed "Come on Shuichi, it's not like it was a big waste or anything." Shuichi glared at him and turned away, eyes watering. Yuki shrugged, slinging the guy over his other shoulder, he checked his watch. 'Damn, it's only 11:30, I still have awhile until night.' Yuki looked over at Shuichi and saw for the first time that the boy had in his opinion, beautiful eyes. Yuki had always fallen for big-eyed women when he was human. He'd never noticed this before in Shuichi. He guessed that the change had something to do with it as it usually caused the person to become more beautiful than before. Seeing Shuichi's eyes tear up again, he mentally punched himself, hoping that Shuichi wouldn't become one of those vampires that were spaced out the whole time.
Shuichi, seeing Yuki staring at him, looked up "What? Do I have some blood on my cheek or something?" Yuki smiled and shook his head. Taking hold of the pizza guy again, he set him into a corner where he would stay until night when they could dispose of him. Straitening back up, he went over to the bed and sat down. Opening a drawer on the cupboard beside him, he took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one up. Taking a long drag of the cigarette, he closed his eyes.
"Yuki… I'm hungry!" Yuki sighed as Shuichi whined 'Just when I'm getting in a comfortable position.' Motioning for Shuichi to come over to him, Yuki put out the cigarette and moved to the back of the bed, sitting with his back against the wall. Shuichi's eyes lit up and he bounded over to Yuki, cheerfully jumping onto the bed. Crawling onto Yuki's lap, Shuichi looked up at him with his big round eyes. Smiling, he wrapped his arms around Yuki's neck and lowered his head down. Closing his eyes, Shuichi began to suck on Yuki's neck, choosing to ignore his hunger for the moment. 'Okay, where the hell did this come from?' Yuki was momentarily confused. Shuichi had never even shown an inkling of desire for him. Feeling Shuichi's teeth rest gently on his neck, he closed his eyes. Instead of feeling a bite like he expected, Shuichi slowly raked his teeth down Yuki's neck, extracting a groan from him. Yuki could feel his body start to respond and put his hands firmly on Shuichi's shoulders, stopping him.
"If you want blood, take it now, otherwise get the fuck off." Shuichi looked momentarily hurt, then smiled and shrugged. Putting his mouth back on Yuki's neck, he quickly bit in and began sucking hungrily, careful not to let a drop spill. Leaning against the wall, Yuki closed his eyes. Starting to feel dizzy, he pushed Shuichi back from him. Opening his eyes, he saw that Shuichi was now slightly flushed from the blood that he'd just taken. Standing up and swaying slightly from the blood loss, Yuki made his way over to the kitchen. Leaning against the counter, he looked back at Shuichi, who now looked to be curled up in the center of the bed. Yuki watched his small frame move up and down as he breathed. Still shirtless from the change, you could already see the paleness of death setting in. Except for the slight flush on his cheeks, his skin was a deathly pale color, and Yuki knew that it would stay that way forever.
Hearing the phone ring, Yuki jumped, unused to the noise. Looking around for the phone, he momentarily forgot where he had the damn thing installed. Seeing it on the wall next to the fridge, he walked over and picked it up.
"Hel-
"HELLO? HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME? I-IS THAT YOU YUKI?" Yuki flinched and held the phone away from his abused ear. "I-I CAN'T FIGURE THIS THING OUT! I-I'M NOT SURE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT!" Yuki braced himself and put the phone to his ear.
"BAKA! Shut the fuck up! I can hear you just fine without you blowing out my eardrums!" Yuki was pleased by the silence that ensued. Sighing Yuki continued a little more calmly than before. "Tatsuha, I'm guessing that's you. Only you would be idiot enough not to know how to use a phone." Yuki sighed and massaged his temple. He could tell that a headache was coming on.
"Heh heh, right, anyways, so I heard last night that you're in a pretty serious mess. Something about Kitazawa screwing over your blood toy or something. Anyways, just wondering if I could help." Yuki stopped dead. He could never remember Tatsuha offering to help him before.
"All right, who, or what, is possessing you?"
"Huh?"
Yuki sighed "Never mind, you said you want to help? Fine, but what about that girl you were looking for Miaka, Ayaka, or something like that.
Tatsuha sighed "Wherever she is, she's someplace well hidden. My guess is that someone's hiding her from my senses."
"Okay, whatever, I really don't care." Yuki glanced over at Shuichi who was still sleeping "Why don't you come over right at sunset, then we can go ahead and set out."
"Fine, hey, by the way, whatever happened to that blood slave of yours? I mean, if you don't want him or something, give him to me, I wouldn't mind having him," Tatsuha sighed lustily "he looks so much like my Ryuichi baby."
Yuki frowned "That is none of your business dick wad. Just be glad that I'm not going to break something on you for having a go at him already." Yuki hung up the phone before he could answer. Rubbing his temples, Yuki sighed 'That god-damn brother of mine is so fucking irritating!' Almost as if he could hear Yuki's little mind shout, Shuichi yawned, barring his sharp new teeth, and woke up. Yuki couldn't help it; he just had to smile. Shuichi pretended not to notice and stretched.
(Change of POV now)
Shuichi stretched, pretending not to notice Yuki smiling, but inside he grinned. 'Success!' Standing up, he looked at Yuki's neck, noticing that the small bite marks that he'd made had all but disappeared. Feeling his stomach roll, he quickly looked away. Turning his head away from Yuki, Shuichi happened to turn towards the former pizza man. Groaning, he covered his head in the covers 'I just can't win today…' Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he looked up. Seeing Yuki, he put on a feeble grin. Shuichi looked away from him and looked up at the clock. 4:30pm, still another three hours till sunset.
"Um, Yuki?"
"What?"
"I-I'm still thirsty…" Yuki smirked. He knew that feeling well. After just being turned, you seemed to have an endless thirst that water couldn't quench. Yuki rubbed his neck absentmindedly where the bite marks where slowly fading. Shuichi looked back at Yuki with large round eyes. Yuki sighed and sat back on the bed, not able to resist the big Bambie eyes that he was currently on the receiving end of. Sitting with his back against the wall, Yuki looked over to Shuichi, as if giving him permission.
Shuichi could feel his fangs start to grow slightly and his pupils shrink up in anticipation. Bounding over to the bed in little skips, Shuichi practically flew into Yuki's lap. Wrapping his arms around Yuki's neck he happily snuggled against him for a second. Putting his mouth down to Yuki's neck he hesitated then put his tongue out and slowly ran it up Yuki's neck to his ear. Lightly flicking his tongue on the inside of Yuki's ear, Shuichi let his hands drift down to Yuki's pants. Playing with the button on Yuki's pants, he suddenly found himself pinned to the bed, looking up at Yuki.
"I thought you were thirsty."
Shuichi smiled up at him "Well…I was…but then I changed my mind!" Yuki rolled his eyes and looked down at the pale boy under him. Suddenly, on what seemed like a whim, Yuki lowered his head and kissed Shuichi. Shuichi's eyes widened then he closed them and kissed Yuki back. Wrapping his arms around Yuki's neck, he quickly deepened the kiss. Suddenly feeling something warm and liquidly enter his mouth, he opened his eyes and drew back, unsure of what it was. Looking at Yuki he saw a thin trail of blood under his mouth. Smiling he guessed what the "mysterious liquid" was and craned his neck up to Yuki's mouth. Sticking his tongue out, Shuichi slowly licked the blood off of Yuki's chin. Shivering slightly, Shuichi felt his pupils shrink up almost all the way at the taste of the life giving blood.
(Change of POV)
Yuki smiled when he saw Shuichi shiver from the taste of blood. He'd cut his tongue carefully with his sharp tooth in order to give Shuichi some of the blood that he knew Shuichi craved. About to lower his head again, Yuki froze when he heard the doorbell. 'What the hell…?' Looking over at the doorway with the newly mounted door, Yuki glared at it, wishing that it were just his imagination. Instead of complying with his wished, the bell rang again…and again…and again…. Standing up, Yuki was on the way to the door when the person behind it seemed to go into overload, ringing the bell extremely fast so that it seemed to be only one long sound. Checking that the sun had gone down, Yuki yanked open the door so fast that it almost came off its hinges again.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"Heh heh… hey bro!" Yuki rolled his eyes and let his brother in. He'd forgotten that he'd told Tatsuha to come over after sunset. Carefully closing the door behind him, he followed his brother into the living room.
"Hey there Ryuichi look alike! How you doing today? I heard you got beat up pretty badly." Tatsuha studied Shuichi carefully "But…you don't seem hurt…at all…" Shuichi smiled coyly at Tatsuha and slowly got up. Walking slowly over to Tatsuha, Yuki noticed that Shuichi's button on his pants was undone, and he was sure that Tatsuha noticed too. Shuichi wrapped his arms around Tatsuha's neck and looked up at him with his now well renowned Bambi eyes.
"You know Tatsuha-kun, I never thanked you properly for not chewing my neck out entirely" Tatsuha looked down at Shuichi with clear question marks in him eyes. Suddenly a light bulb clicked on in his head and he looked over at Yuki.
"You didn't…!" Yuki smirked and nodded. Tatsuha looked back at Shuichi who was playing with one of his shirt buttons. Slowly moving away from him, Tatsuha backed up. "Heh, heh, you know, I never meant to do you any harm, honestly. I just wanted a little drink." Yuki decided that this had gone on long enough and stepped in between them.
"Okay, we all have one main goal tonight. That's Kitazawa. Shuichi, you will not chew out Tatsuha's neck. Even if he does deserve it," he muttered, "Tatsuha, you will stay away from Shuichi, you will not talk to him, not even a pass the gun please. Got it?" Tatsuha and Shuichi nodded, Shuichi with a small smile on his face. Satisfied, at least for now, Yuki nodded. "Well, lets get going, I'm sure that Kitazawa's pretty pissed off at me not coming right back. If we don't hurry he very well might come after us." Shuichi shuddered at the memories, and Yuki was sure that he was suddenly glad that he'd been turned and now had abundant strength.
Yuki walked over to the closet and opened it, grabbing his seldom-used leather coat. He suddenly felt the need of it. There was nothing better in his opinion than the visual appearance of a pale man with blond hair and a long leather trench coat. Sweeping back into the room and opened the door and quickly jumped down the stairs, landing cat fashioned at the bottom, his coat trailing behind him. Hearing the clatter of steps behind him, he knew that Shuichi was coming. Looking beside him, he saw that Tatsuha was also crouching cat style on the pavement. 'Hmm, he's getting better than when I last saw him…' Slowly standing he looked over at Shuichi who was breathing in the night air, probably testing out his new senses.
"So man, where to first?" Tatsuha was looking over at Yuki "The shop?" Yuki nodded and motioned to Shuichi who came over to him.
"It'll probably be easier if you understood some of your new advantages before we set out. One, your extremely fast and also whenever you run you very rarely run out of breath. Two, you can jump up or down large amounts of heights and not worry about broken bones. Three, you can scale up the sides up buildings. I won't teach you how to do this though unless need be" Yuki smirked at Shuichi "And third, you can heal really quickly given time. Well, that's about it, oh, and try not to get left behind." Yuki nodded to Tatsuha and they started out at a dead run towards the store.
"HEY! WAIT UP! I DON'T HAVE THE HANG OF THIS YET! Damn…" Yuki could hear Shuichi start up, slowly at first, then quickly matching their speed. Slowing down some so that Shuichi was able to catch up, Yuki looked down for a second and looked into Shuichi's large eyes, currently filled with an overpowering determination. Looking up the street, Yuki saw that they'd reached the store, Moon Light's Call. Coming to a stop with his coat billowing behind him, Yuki looked up at the small, innocent looking sign that held no resemblance to the inside of the store. Walking inside, he suddenly remembered that Shuichi was here and turned slightly, stopping for him. Shuichi was looking around in wonder, having never come in or out this way before.
"Y-Yuki?"
"Hmmm…?"
"I don't think I want to go in there." Yuki looked at him in surprise.
"Well you have to, I can't just leave you here." Yuki put his arm protectively around Shuichi and walked in the doorway, a little bell jingling in the background. Yuki walked into the lobby, Tatsuha closely following behind.
"Welcome! Welcome! It's been to long, I hope you've enjoyed your purchase! In fact that's him right there? Right?" Yuki sighed as the man came into the room. He'd forgotten how annoying he was.
"Yes this is hi-."
"Is there something wrong with him? Cause as I told you before we do have some really nice blonds" Yuki saw Tatsuha's head jerk up "that are truly the top of their categ-."
This time it was Yuki that interrupted him "No, there's nothing wrong with him. I actually came here on a separate matter. I need weapons and if I remember correctly, you boasted of a pretty superb weapons department."
"Oh yes, please come right this way. By the way, I believe that I forgot to tell you my name on our meeting which was extremely rude of me" Yuki cleared his throat suggestingly and the man turned slightly red "I know, I know, I'm blabbering" he sighed "but I can't really help it. Anyways, my name's Sakano. My lovely assistant who is absent today is called Ayaka." Tatsuha stopped dead at this name.
"What…?"
"Huh? Oh yes, Ayaka Usami. She's really quite the hard worker. Found her in the lobby one day and asked if she could have a job." Tatsuha's eyebrow twitched and he looked as if for a second he wanted to say something else when Shuichi hit him in the ribs…hard. Yuki could've sworn he heard something crack.
Tatsuha doubled over then looked up at Shuichi "Hey! What was that for! God damn that hurts…" He straightened up and Yuki could here the small crackle of the muscles as they re-knit themselves. Shuichi grinned and gave Tatsuha an innocent look that might have worked if he wasn't grinning. Adding the fangs into the picture kind of ruined it. Yuki turned back to Sakano who now was a slightly lighter shade of white and was staring at Shuichi's fangs.
"Heh heh… I guess you really liked him after all, huh?" Sakano gave a weak laugh and forced his gaze away from Shuichi. "Well, uh…the um…oh yes! The weapons department is this way…" Sakano led the way down the hallway that Yuki had gone down before on his first tour of the building. Coming to a door across from the electronics store, Sakano opened it and the four of them were blasted with the sound of heavy metal. The three vampires were instantly in pain, what with their extra sensitive hearing. Sakano rushed into the store and must of hit something for there was a small thud and then the music stopped. Taking his hands away from his ears, Yuki scowled as Sakano came back out.
"What…the hell…was that…?"
"God yeah, that shouldn't even be considered true music" added Shuichi who was also uncovering his ears.
"Erhm…well…our weapons specialist does have certain…interesting characteristics about him." Sakano opened the door a little wider and gestured them inside.
Hey everyone! I'm sooooo sorry that it took so long to get out! I have no excuse, well…maybe a few but I'm not going to boor you with the details. Also, I know there's not really anything in here yet to rate this as M but believe me, this next chapter is going to be full of it. Hey! Any guesses on who the weapons specialist is? Oh come on, it's really not that hard…! Bye! .
