Chapter 4

Usui's head is resting on Akumi's chest and he's examining all of his partner's features. When he makes his way to the arms, Usui notices a tiny heart shaped mark on the inside of Akumi's wrist.

"What's that?" He runs a finger over the mark.

"It's a lust mark. Something I despise because it became my weakness."

"What does it do?"

"It causes me to lust over the one who gave me this at his will."

"But… Is there a way to get rid of it?"

"If there was I would have long ago."

"I see. Well what if you gave me the mark?" Usui looks up into Akumi's eyes with such an innocent expression.

"I will not give you a lust mark." Akumi smirks. "It could turn out very bad for you. However, I could give you a mate mark. If you truly want it, of course."

"Well, what would it do?"

"It would just ensure that you never cheated. It would most likely be painful if you did."

"I want it. I'm not going to leave you, so give me the mark."

"Are you positive? Once it's there, it can't be removed."

Usui slowly nods his head. Akumi leans in close and bites into his neck, breaking skin. There's a slight burning sensation in Usui's neck, but he just ignores it. Akumi pulls away licking the tiny would, and it quickly heals leaving behind a dull mark. A smile breaks across Usui's face and he snuggles into Akumi's chest quickly falling asleep. The next morning, when he wakes up, he sees Akumi watching him.

"G-good morning." He says bashfully.

"Morning. Are you hungry?"

"I am a little bit."

"Why don't I go get breakfast? You stay here."

Akumi stands up and leaves the room to get breakfast. Usui looks around the room and pulls on some pants, just as the door opens. He starts to smile but freezes when he realizes the man standing in the doorway is not Akumi, but Sayuri. He stumbles backwards onto the bed and Sayuri walks over, sitting next to him.

"Wh-What do you want?"

"I want you to leave Akumi. Leave Akumi and become mine. I wouldn't want you to get caught in the troubles I have in store for Akumi and his precious kingdom."

"Why do you hold so much hostility towards Akumi? Aren't you supposed to be brothers?"

"He is no brother of mine! No one who holds human blood will ever have my acknowledgement, let alone my respect!"

"Then why do you want me? I wasn't born a vampire, I was turned. I still have human blood, so aren't you contradicting yourself?"

"Oh no, dear, you misunderstand me. I want you as a plaything. Something I could feed from and nothing more."

"Then why the hell would I go with you?"

"Because in time Akumi too will get bored of you and leave. Who would you rather spend the time with?"

"That is a simple decision. I'd spend it with Akumi. Even if he decided to leave, I… I would be ok with that."

Sayuri lets out a low growl. "Know that I plan on stealing this kingdom. You refused my protection, so let's hope your precious Akumi can protect you."

Sayuri quickly gets up and leaves the room. Usui is consumed in the conversation that just happened. Sayuri is going to take over Lyscrit… to do that, he'll have to kill Akumi… Aside from that, what did he mean /when/ Akumi gets bored. Is he really that promiscuous? He's still wrapped in his thoughts when Akumi comes back in with food and he eats in silence. What is going to happen to Akumi if he's not constantly on guard?
