Chapter 4: Pains!

A sigh escaped from his lips as he placed her on the bed. She had passed out a while go. Only once did she seem to stir; yet the threads of a somewhat peaceful rest quickly replaced that. His stomach growled. If he did not eat something, he was going to be far too weak to escape the deadly rays of the sun and he didn't plan to stay held up within a very uncomfortable closet all day, even if that closet was Riku's. Placing a kiss upon her forehead, he left through the window, knowing that he couldn't be spotted by any of her neighbours. Landing like a sprung cat upon the ground, he looked up at the window, wishing silent good byes before wandering off further into Azumano. The night was still young, barely only twelve 0'clock. He would return to her when he had fed hopefully off something young and beautiful.

Just like her…He thought as he remembered testing out her blood and realizing that the salty liquid actually tasted a lot like strawberries. His nature seemed to hunger for more blood but his heart and his mind took control as he almost drained her dry. It wasn't long until he found a bar, one that seemed to be having problems with a couple of drunks fighting it out with each other. Placing an arm on the door of the pub itself and watched as two guys proceeded to hit each other with everything they had. No one was trying to stop them, yet as soon as they both seemed to lay eyes on him, the mood changed.

"What are you looking at loser?" He had to grin at this, he just had too. If he was a loser to them, then what were they? "Yo, I said…"

"I know what you said and I am no loser…" I am the legendary vampire Dark, he thought, trying not to laugh at how ridiculous this all was. Humans were always a true enigma to him. The one took a swing at him but he easily dodged it, marvelling the crowds slightly with his superb agility as he managed to grab hold of the one and throw him into the street where no one would disturb him, not even the other guy who his new kill was fighting with. This was just going to be a possibly high trip for him now anyway. This man was going down for becoming an evildoer by starting the fight.

The man stumbled slightly as he tried to get back up and throw a punch at Dark but he easily dodged that one too. Grabbing hold of the man by his neck, he made sure no one was following them before jumping up to the roof. He didn't need his wings that were hidden under a dark trench coat to pull this little trick off. The man screamed, his blood beginning to pound furiously underneath his tight flesh. Yanking his neck into a rough position, he heard it crack before sinking his fangs in. He didn't know what had actually come over him just then, he guessed that it was something that came back to haunt him once more. Blood rushed quickly into his system, turning his perfect violet irises from the beautiful colour they once were to the crimson of the blood nourishing his strength.

Dropping the body onto the ground below, he made it look like the guy had taken the plunge towards the ground before running off back to Riku.

What…what just happened? I felt like I was another being…of some sort…He knew that some vampire spirits could wander around, possessing others for a time being to enjoy the rush of blood before finally proceeding to rest once more. However that was extremely rare and it only seemed to happen if something bad had happened. Sometimes the ghost would even take the blood with him/her but he felt no warning, no violent tremors. No, it was all his doing. He felt blood stain his cheeks. He hated it when he looked weak. He that he looked pretty pathetic to the vampires who were used to seeing immortal beings cry tears of blood. Humans however acted differently when tears started to pour forth from his eyes. Some screamed insanely, others ran away from him. This was what made him feel like a monster in the first place.

Climbing up a drainpipe was far too easy. His god-like strength allowed him to hold on for ages to the pipe that was stuck securely to a wall. Placing a boot on the wall, he wrapped his arms around the pipe, his left arm on the bottom, whilst his right hand reached further up the pipe. Placing his other boot up further, he manoeuvred his spindly arms as he climbed effortlessly. Even though he hated being a vampire, he didn't mind having a little fun with his strength once in a while. It wasn't that long before he reached a ledge that he could just about swing his legs onto. Pressing himself against the wall of the building, he managed to shift off to the side until he could go no further. Looking up, a wicked grin formed across his face as he jumped up towards the window he was trying to reach. Sometimes it didn't hurt to be agile at all.

A face looked back at her, so much like her very own yet it was whispering something she couldn't seem to grasp. Trying to press an ear against the glass, she nearly screamed as the face began to bleed slowly, ever so slowly until it was nothing more but a bloody wraith-like creature. And then the sound of dripping could be heard, followed by the smell of blood. Looking down at herself, she noticed blood running from slits she never remembered creating before collapsing on the floor, shouting one name as she did so.

"DARK!!!"

She woke up straight into the arms of something cold. Her grogginess dissipating from her vision, she looked up into the eyes of dark, noticing flecks of crimson within his beautiful irises. That was definitely an unusual site to see.

Cold hands defiled her dark hair while soothing words whispered into her left ear. Nestling her head against his chest, she couldn't help but notice a slight hint of colour in his pale arms. He looked almost human yet his face was still too beautiful for that to be true. Delicate fingers stopped defiling her locks that were cut short to stop her from looking so much like her sister. However, they were quickly placed under her chin, cupping it as a gentle kiss was placed on her needing lips. She didn't what it was but his lips seemed to send her into a natural high, as if they were the equivalent to the drugs that were going around these days. Placing a hand upon the small of his back, she felt it rise as she began to moan into the deepening kiss.

She felt him smirk slightly, before the kiss began to become for more erotically filled. Moving away from her lips, she felt his delicate kisses moving down to her neck, her moaning increasing as each kiss was placed upon flesh. She felt his fangs grace lightly against her flesh, before he pulled away from her, hiding his face from her.

"Don't look at me…please! Stay away!" Pain emitted from his tone of voice. Placing two fingers upon her neck where she felt his fangs glide against her skin, she pulled them back only to see a crimson fluid covering them. He had tried to bite her!

"Dark…" She placed a hand under his chin just like he always did to her, lifting his head slightly as she noticed tears of blood pour forth from his beautiful irises. Placing a passionate kiss upon his lips, she dabbed slightly at his bleeding eyes. It seemed that this was the only fact in fiction that was actually true. She tensed a little as she noticed him begin to bring his head a little more towards her neck and shivered as she felt something sliver a little across the cut. A low chuckle reached her ears before she hit him playfully in the chest, sending him to the floor before following suit as he grabbed hold of her and landed right beside him. They both laughed together, each forgetting what had just happened between them as his delicate fingers traced along her revealed stomach.

Great…now he sees how ugly I actually am! She thought before feeling those delicate fingers begin to rise slowly to her chest, tracing a circle around her covered bosom.

"I don't think your ugly at all…" She heard him say before they embraced each other once more. Then she felt Dark tense a little. Looking over at the time, she realised that it was five 0'clock in the morning. He had to get back to the safety of his current abode before the sun rose up.

Walking away from the apartment, he couldn't help but think about what actually happened between them both in there. Never before had he been involved with someone Riku and yet he nearly hurt her because of it. Luckily enough his spit could heal a wound, turning it into nothing more but a scar. The faces of each victim may have been forgotten but the expression on Riku's face as she forgave him for what he did never left his thoughts. Suddenly, he felt his senses spin as if another vampire was close. Turning around, he thought he spotted a glimmer of gold before he realised that it was only Satoshi. What the hell does he want with me now?

Well that's a nice way to greet an old friend…
What do you want Satoshi?

Just to warn you that something is coming for you and your girlfriend…And with that message, the blue haired vampire disappeared, leaving Dark to ponder over what he had actually said.

Authors note: Sorry this one is a little shorter than the others...no sleep does that I guess. Anyway I'll be introducing the villain soon...but I'm not saying who he is yet...Do not flame me for this!!!
