Chapter 5

Author's Note: Chapter 5 is finished and posted before Christmas! YES! For the record, this chapter doesn't contain any plot development. It is mostly just pure fluff and romance between Shu and Sarah. There will, however, be a few details mentioned that will tie in to future chapters. That's why this chapter is slightly shorter than the others. Also, I apologize if Shu seems OOC in this and the next few chapters. In this story, I figured that once Sarah regained the memories of her past life with Shu, he would try to act more like he did when they were kids and less like a lazy ass! Anyway, on to chapter!

It was Sunday night and Sarah was getting her things ready for school the following evening. Two nights ago, she had regained the memories of her past life. She and Shu became couple, as well. It was certainly a Valentine's Day Sarah wouldn't forget. She fingered the locket that hung around her neck as she thought about Shu. 'When I first met Shu a few weeks ago, he was so lazy. When I got my memory back, though, he changed. He's starting to act more like he did when he and my past life were kids.'

As she entered the living room of her apartment, she gasped when she saw Shu laying on her couch. 'How did he - ?! Oh, right. I gave him the spare key,' Sarah thought to herself. "You startled me, Shu. I didn't hear you come in. What brings you here tonight?" She asked as she stood in front of the couch.

"I wanted to see you," Shu said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her down on the couch with him, kissing her in the process. Sarah moaned softly and wrapped her arms around Shu's neck as she closed her eyes and kissed back. As they deepened the kiss, Shu rolled them over so that Sarah lay on the couch beneath him. Shu eventually broke the kiss, allowing Sarah to breathe, and began kissing down her neck. It was at this moment that Shu realized Sarah was wearing a Spaghetti-Strap tank top, revealing her neck and shoulders. Shu pulled back slightly to get a grip over his thirst.

When Sarah opened her eyes, she realized the problem immediately. "Shu, if you're thirsty, then drink. I don't mind," she said softly as she moved her hair away from her neck. "You won't hurt me or scare me away. I love you too much."

Shu met her eyes, searching for any sign of fear or hesitation. When he saw the truth of her words, he leaned down to her neck once more. He kissed it lightly before whispering in her ear, "I love you." Then he bit into her neck.

Sarah gasped as she felt Shu's fangs sink into the soft skin of her neck. However, the pain slowly faded away to nothing as he continued to suck the blood from her neck. She eventually wrapped one arm around his neck, threading her fingers through his hair, while her other hand clutched the front of his sweater. Though Sarah was unsure of why, she had to admit, Shu's fangs buried deep in her neck as he sucked the lifeblood out of her was beginning to feel good.

Once Shu had drunk his fill of her blood, he kissed her neck once more before pulling away. He could tell he had drained her of much of her strength, though she had yet to lose consciousness. He once again flipped their positions so that Sarah was now resting comfortably on top of him. The steady beating of her heart against his chest a soothing reminder that she was alive in his arms. Neither knew how long they laid there, but eventually they both drifted off into a light slumber.

A few hours later, Sarah and Shu stood together on Sarah's balcony. (A/N: Sarah's parents were wealthy. After her parents died and she moved out of their mansion, she used some of her inheritance of buy an apartment with a balcony.) "You said you had been home-schooled all your life before starting school here. Did you ever have any friends?" Shu asked her.

"Not really. The children of some of my parents' wealthy friends tried to befriend me, but I was so busy with my studies that I didn't have time for friends," Sarah replied with a sigh.

"Do you have any friends now?" he asked.

"Besides you?" She joked lightly. "Yes, actually, I do have one friend. Her name's Yui Komori. Ring any bells?"

"How the hell did you meet and befriend Ayato's "Girlfriend" and when?" he asked, wondering why Yui hadn't mentioned her.

"It was when you skipped school on Thursday. Since you weren't there, I decided to spend the day in the library instead. Yui was there, struggling with her math homework, so I played tutor and helped out. We started talking during lunch period and things just went from there," Sarah explained.

"That explains why Yui never mentioned a new friend. What did you talk about anyway?"

"This and that," she said. "What year we were in, my being home-schooled, that Yui is living with you and your brothers, and Ayato's "possessiveness" as she called it."

"I think "possessive" is putting it mildly," he told her, rolling his eyes. "Truthfully, though, I think his feelings for Yui are the same as my feelings for you." Shu pulled her close as he said this.

"I think you're right. And you know, even though she won't admit it, I think Yui's feelings for Ayato are the same as my feelings for you," Sarah replied with a coy smile as she wrapped her hands around his neck. "I love you, Shu."

"And I you, Sarah."

The two then met in a passionate kiss. The stars shining brightly above them were the only light and witnesses to the love they shared together. And in that moment they both wished that these nights of happiness that they spent in each other's company would never end. However, all good things must eventually come to an end. And these nights of happiness were not meant to last. They would face struggles before they could truly be together forever.

Gasp! Sorry for the cliffhanger, everyone! Next Chapter: Tragedy Strikes! Sarah's Turning!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years, everybody!
