Chapter 4: Getting the blood TO him
I stared at the plastic bag… That was full of blood. Tomoyo stands before me, staring unsurely at me.
"I don't think that's the problem. If they catch me… I could be killed!" I say frightened. Tomoyo looks at me then sighs.
"Sakura, you better go. Otherwise, you're going to be screwed." Tomoyo said with a smirk. I nod and gently pick up the bag full of… blood.
"Be careful! Don't break the bag; otherwise it will spill all over you!"
I glare at Tomoyo and carefully put the bag into my bra. Tomoyo snorts out and her hand quickly goes over her mouth.
I snap my head to look at her. "What's so funny?" I ask, annoyed. But Tomoyo just snorts out another laugh and I glare meanly at her.
"Oh I'm just playing, Sakura! You have to lighten up! If you were in my position, you would find this funny too." She says. I truly doubt that.
I let out a sigh and look at myself in the mirror. Tomoyo begins to brush my long auburn hair and pulls at it until it is in a French braid. I smile at her and she grins back.
"I always have a skill for fashion!" She tells me with a weird glint in her eyes. I stare at her for a moment before I burst out laughing. Tomoyo rolls her eyes but soon joins me in laughter.
"Ok! Stop stalling! You need to go give your man life!" Tomoyo says with a smile.
"He can't wait forever."
I let out a sigh and with a last look in the mirror; I get up and walk to the door. I turn to look at Tomoyo and she ushers me on.
"Don't be afraid." She says gently.
I slowly turn the knob and peek through the crake. There is no one is sight. I take a deep breath and step outside. I shade my eyes with my hand and walk confidently to the cafeteria.
My heart is beating widely in my chest and I feel the bag of blood, swish around in my bra. The cool feeling I get from the blood is nothing compared to the cold, frightened feeling I have in my chest.
"Sakura?" I hear a voice behind me and my stomach does three flips. I slowly turn around and see Eriol standing behind me, looking confused.
"Hey! Shouldn't you be resting?" He asks. I stare at him for a moment before a small (forced) smile comes on my lips.
"No, I feel better."
"That's good."
We look at each other for a moment before he suddenly steps forward, almost closing the gap between us.
"You know, I was so worried when I saw you collapse on the ground like that. I… I wasn't sure if you were going to live." Eriol said gently, his eyes never leaving mine.
"Uhh…" Is all I manage to say before someone comes up behind us.
"Hey you're the Li girl right?" A slightly familiar voice asks me and my head snaps to look at the boy. It's the same boy that is in the uniform.
"Ahh…" Is all I get to say before Eriol interrupts me.
"She is not someone you should be talking to boy!" He barks out at the poor boy and the boy flinches back.
After a quick second, the boy replies, "I'm sorry, but shouldn't the lady choose that for herself?"
I quickly suppress my smile and stare intently at the floor otherwise I'm going to burst out laughing. The boy grins triumphant at Eriol.
"If you would excuse us." The boy holds out his hand for me to take and I slowly take his hand, a small smile gracing my face. He leads me away and I only smile at Eriol as a goodbye.
Once we are a safe distance away from Eriol AND from the Cafeteria, we stop and burst out laughing.
"Thank you for saving me back there!" I laugh out. The boy grins back at me.
"It was my pleasure." He says dramatically, which starts out another round of laughs.
We finally stop laughing and I look down and notice our hands are still connected. I quickly let go of his hand and he stares bewildered at me.
"I'm sorry…" He says quietly, looking at the ground. I immediately feel bad and say quickly, "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."
An uncomfortable silence surrounds us. I look over at the Cafeteria and notice it's vacant. It's time to make my move.
"Well I have to go. Um thank you…" I say as I'm turning to leave.
"Li." He says and I snap back to look at him.
"L- Li?" I ask, knowing I've been caught. He smirks at me and chuckles.
"Ya. I'm related to the famous Li Clan. So… what's your real name?" He asks. I shift uncomfortably before letting out a sigh.
"Sakura… Kinomoto." I say quietly.
"Ahh. The very girl I needed to give the letter too. Well I'm glad it all worked out." He said with a playful grin. He knew. He knew the whole time.
I smile slightly at him before turning to leave when I feel a hand grab my own.
"Hey, will I see you again?" He asks suddenly and I turn to look at him.
"Sure." I say and pull my hand free. I walk to the Cafeteria and open the door. I enter and notice this place is not vacant. It has about a hundred people in it!
I stay close to the wall and hope no one will notice me. I feel my heart beat widely and my stomach does flip flops.
BOOM!
I flinch back and hear screams all around me. Suddenly vampires begin to pile in by the millions. I feel paralyzed and no matter how much I beg my legs, they refuse to move.
I see Tomoyo, in the front of the room, attacking a vampire.
"It's us against them!" Someone yells as they go charging at one of the vampires.
A vampire spots me and comes running. Blood is dripping down from its horrid mouth and it has a beyond craze look in his eyes.
"Hello, babe. How 'bout you and me go some place to be alone so I can drink your blood and that pouch of blood you have hidden by your breasts." He says, coming closer until I can smell the revolting stench of blood.
"G- Get away from me!" I say, my voice barely a whisper.
The vampire grins widely and leans forward. But then he stops. He analyzes me for a moment and then gasps at me.
"You're her…" He says, his voice unbelieving. I stare into his frightening eyes but for a moment I can feel my legs and I know I can move, but I'm going to have to be quick.
I push the vampire away from me but he was quick to react and his claws scratched my palm. I flinch slightly from the pain but my other hand pulls off my key and jab it into the keyhole.
I open the door and see the vampire launching at me, but the door shuts and I lock it from the inside. My heart is hammering in my chest but my feet run me to the other door leading me to where he is.
I unlock the other door and run down the dark pathway. Tears are blurring my vision but none have fallen; yet.
I see the silver cage and I push myself to go faster. Faster to him. Suddenly my feet stop me in front of his cage door.
His eyes dart over to me and stare surprised at me. His eyes are the color of coal or even darker. I push the key into the hole and the cage door opens.
I walk in and my hands get busy and I unlock his hands. My hand clenches the key and the tears that were unshed, began to slip down my face by the millions.
"It hurts!" I cry out and I clench the key tighter. He looks as me and pain reflects in his cold eyes.
I sob and cover my face with my hands and sob out loudly. Suddenly I feel strong arms wrap around my body and cradle me to a marble chest. My arms circle around the holder and I bury my head into his cold marble chest.
He pets my head gently before I feel myself being pushed away from him. I open my eyes and then slowly close my eyes and his breath gets closer until I can inhale his wonderful smell. But I push all my senses out; except for touch.
His lips loom above my own. They are centimeters away from each other. His hands tighten around my body and pull me closer to his chest.
His lips land on mine. It is such a sweet kiss. My body feels like melting even though it feels like it's on fire. He pulls me even closer until our chests are touching. I feel the bag of blood squish around; but I ignore it. No way am I going to interrupt this drop dead gorgeous man that is kissing me.
His lips begin to kiss me more hungrily. I could feel fire cascade all over my body and I feel myself becoming more and more… lustful toward this man.
"You're making me crazy, Sakura!" He moans out my name and I feel myself want him more and more to touch me.
"How?" I ask as he leaves my lips to kiss my neck.
"By…" He pauses to suck for a second before continuing. "Your porcelain skin, your blood colored lips, your beautiful emerald colored eyes, and your smell. You have no idea how magnificent you smell!"
A moan escapes from my lips and my legs open just slightly. He notices this and smirks.
"Your really wanting this, aren't you?" He asks, playfulness etched in his velvet voice. Unlike the evil other vampire's cold voice, this vampire's voice sounds so velvety and warm and hot!
His lips leave hot trails on my neck. Moans leave my lips and I grip onto him harder.
"Sakura…" He moans out my name and then it hits me again. I have no idea what his name is.
"What's your name?" I ask, my voice sounding indifferent, as though it's not sure if I should break this passionate moment between us.
He sighs and let's go of me; which makes my hands let go of him too.
"Why break such a beautiful moment with a question like that?" He asks, his voice sounding dangerously annoyed.
I look down at the dungeon's floor. "I'm sorry." I said, my voice sounding soft.
"No… I'm the one who should be sorry. I sh- What is that?!" He suddenly asks, alarm in his voice.
I look up at him and follow his eyes to my hand and notice the blood that seemed to be streaming from the two small cuts that the evil vampire made on me.
He stares at it in dreadfulness. "It's a cut one of… the vampires made on my way here." I said, realization finally dawning on me. He's a vampire. He thirsts for blood. And for some unknown reason, particularly my blood.
My other hand immediately covers my bloody hand and I snap up, feeling dread run throughout my body.
"No, wait!" He suddenly barks at me. He grabs my hand and pulls it about an inch away from his lips.
"No…" He whispers as he analyzes the two scratches. He suddenly jerks my hand down and he stares frightened at me. For once his eyes, are the color of chocolate; not black.
"That basterd gave you poison! If you- no if I don't get it out, then you'll die!" He says, his voice actually full of fright.
I stare speechless at him then at the scratches. If I don't get the poison out… then I die? I look up at him and we stare intently in each others eyes for a moment.
"Do you… trust me?" He asks, his voice soft.
Without a thought, I say, "Yes." And he stares bewildered at me. "Are you positive?" He asks again, his voice sounding sharp. I slightly was taken back by the sound of his voice but I pushed the surprise aside.
"If I didn't trust you, do you think I would be coming down here?" I ask. He stares into my eyes for a moment and I stare back at his.
Suddenly, without warning, He leans forward and our lips touch softly. My free hand wraps around his neck. His free hand went to my waist. Our lips began to want more and I moaned in our kiss.
"How do we always get like this?" He suddenly asks, his hand leaving my waist.
"No idea." I say, breathlessly. My lips feel slightly swollen but I'm not complaining.
"Ok… I need to get this poison out. Do you trust me?"
"Ye-AHHH!" He bit into my palm and began to suck. My blood. The most unbelievable pain shot throughout my whole entire body. I began to quiver with pain and my knees could barely hold out. But the vampire just continued to suck my blood right out of my palm.
My screams filled up the whole room and I'm shaking with so much effort to stay up.
"S-stop…" My voice sounds so weak and frail. My legs can't hold out anymore and I fall to the ground in a heap. My hand began to feel numb with pain and my eyes lids were getting heavy, so I closed them. Abruptly the pain stopped and I could feel blood rushing from my head to the rest of my body. My hand fell beside my body and I seemed to be paralyzed.
"You'll feel dizzy and tired for about three minutes. Don't worry you'll be fine." He said gently, touching my forehead. His fingertips left hot then cold trails. I slightly shivered but he continued, unfazed.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw his beautiful face. My hand reached up and touched his cheek. It is cold, but I don't care. My fingers travel all around his cheek. He stays perfectly still, not making any movement.
"You're very handsome." I whisper and I could see his lip twitches slightly.
"Do you?" I hear him mutter, barely moving his lips.
"Uh hum." I answer and start to trace his jaw line. I feel him tense under my touch.
"Do you want me to stop?" I ask my fingers still moving. He didn't say anything for a moment as he tenses even more.
"Yes." He finally answers and I let my hand drop to my side and I smile up at him. He looks at me for a moment then stands up. He holds out his hand for me and I gratefully take it and he helps me up.
"Alright. I think it's time you get back; otherwise they'll probably think you were eaten by a vampire." A smirk graces his stunning face and I wanted to paint that picture in my mind forever.
He noticed me staring and his smirk fades. "Leave now." He says with such force and such darkness, I'm taken aback.
"Uhh…" I say then remember the reason I risked my life to come here. I reach my hand under my kimono and fish around for the bag of blood.
While I'm doing so, the vampire is gaping at me. I look at him, bewildered for a moment, and then I feel a blush creep up. "Pervert…" I mutter under my breath.
I pull out the bag of blood. He stares at it for a long time, not making any movement but his chest is slightly moving up and down.
"Why?" He suddenly asks and I look away from his handsome face.
"Because… I promised." I say quietly and drop the bag on the floor. I see the blood swish around and it makes my stomach churn from the very sight. The vampire looks at it for another long moment before coming closer to it and gently picking it up, as thought it was a frail glass.
"I have to leave." I mutter quietly and turn to leave, but a hand grabs me and pulls me to a stone body.
"You're stupid for risking your life." He muttered treacherously in my hair. But then he let me go and waved me off with a shake of his majestic hand.
"Leave." His voice was hoarse and he was straining to stand. I look at him for a moment longer before I turned around to leave.
"W-wait." He calls out to me, his voice becoming very thin.
I turn around and my eyes bore into him. I hurry to him and wrap an arm around his waist.
"What's wrong?" I ask, my voice sounding worried. But his eyes slowly close and he slumps on top of me; which makes us both fall to the ground.
"The poison… the poison is attacking m-my…" He suddenly groaned out in pain and his hand took hold of mine and he squeezed.
"I- I need to d-drink… BLOOD!" He screamed out in agony and his hand on mine, began to grow tighter.
"Here!" I cry and hand him the bag that had slipped from his hand before. He gripped it lightly and he could barely hold it up to his lips.
"A-as soon as," He paused and shut his eyes in pain. "As soon as I d-drink the bl-blood, r-run as fast as you can!" He warns and I nod my head. I lean him against the wall and wait for my cue.
He rips the bag open and the blood begins to spill out on his arm. Then his chocolate eyes begin to change. They begin to change into… a black that's even blacker than black! Fear runs up and down my body and my legs begin to run me away from this horrid scene.
I run all the way up until I'm at the beginning. I lean back on the wall and slid down.
"I've never run so fast." I breathe out. My heart is pounding super fast and I'm frightened.
"I never want to do that again!" I whisper to myself. But even if I say it, I know I'm going to do it again. Again and again.
