"A Simple Message?" - Message Six – Pure-Blood Fangs
So sorry for the really long wait for those who actually waited for this update. I just didn't think it was quite right but, it's way better now. So everyone's happy my story updated. Okay just "warning" you all one last chapter after this, and an extra Ch. 8. and then feel free to wait for the very last part of it all listed under, (In My Profile) Story Status- called, A Simple Message: This Distance, which I think you'll love. It will contain three chapter's each explaining Zero, Kaname and Yuki's individual thoughts and more. An aftermath.
Thank you for waiting and enjoy!
I'll do my best to update faster.
Yuuki sat freely with a smile on her delicate face. She appeared to be writing some kind of return letter in her suite. With a steady hand she ends it with her signature: Yuuki Cross Kuran. As she gently brushed her tongue over the envelope's seal she overheard some familiar voices echo beyond her door.
"Adioh, Kain, please get ready?"
"Wait, we're moving again? Not so soon!" Kain protested.
"Sure." Adioh sounded somewhat depressed before Yuuki heard his footsteps move further away.
Upon hearing their small conversation, Yuuki completely disregarded every other word that came from their mouths. She quickly studied the room to find that the drawer nearby the bed was inclosed. Familiar footsteps echoed closer to her door. Without a second thought Yuuki slammed the letter inside the drawer only for it to fall before her back and slide just enough to hide itself under her bunk.
A sudden knock came from beyond her door. Yuuki casually laid in the middle of her bed toward the edge and pretended to read a certain book she borrowed from Ruka. "Yes?" She asks as if she didn't know.
"Yuuki!" Kaname's voice carried over.
"Come in Ka-san!"
Kaname went in with a smile only for it to fade to a 'what?' look. "Still in your turtle pajamas I see." He laughed. "Are you leaving to go to the cabin like that?"
"Oops, no. I guess I forgot again." She lied. "Please wait here Kaname-onii, while I take a quick shower." She thought. 'I won't be able to say "no" to my brother. I must leave before he.'
Just before Yuuki stepped any further toward the bathroom door she felt someone breath down her neck. The slow but, smooth pattern was notifying her of this pure-blood's dry and immediate thirst.
"Forgive me." She heard his voice pass her ears. "I have not partaken in blood for quite sometime." He brushed his head against hers before sitting on the bed behind him.
Yuuki sat as well. She simply held the arms that creased her and smiled at his warmth. "You are able to resist this temptation no longer, but longer than I." Yuuki mentioned.
Kaname shivered at the thought. "Yuuki, I feel so... ashamed."
Yuuki felt his hands slowly slide down her shoulders. She turned to see his sad face and glanced down at his right hand. Upon his hand were his own pierced wounds. "Don't be." She sat beside him to lift his right hand and rub it firmly against her cheek. "I see, or rather I know. I felt it was time for you."
He quickly pulled his hand away. "I..."
Yuuki put her head out to clearly see his blushing face and asked. "Did you run out of blood tablets yet?"
He nodded with a slight smile and gentle look in his eyes.
"Well,..." She thought. "Daddy's supply should come in soon. Each month actually!" She smiled more as she lifted her index finger.
After a few moments it grew silent…
"Hm?" She wondered, looking back at him. "Kaname-san?" He seemed lost in thought, looking to the floor so she tried once more and shouted. "Ka-san!"
"Yes?" He directed his attention back to her. He noticed she pulled off her froggy jacket and threw it on the floor below them.
"Don't be ashamed." Her tone of voice changed, becoming more subtle. She forced a hug on him. "I love you,.. onii-san." She whispered.
Silence was near... Kaname's eyes grew big as he hesitated.
Yuuki stretched her neck and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "Please." She stated. "Drink my blood." 'These words.' She remembered. 'they once gnawed at my mind before. Spoken by someone else with the knowledge of a vampire.'
Kaname sighed in relief. As requested he moved down with her. With her back to the comforter, he pulled off his own jacket, and began cleaning her neck with his tongue.
Yuuki closed her eyes and thought only of bliss. She was not scared, for her brother wouldn't hurt her, would he? She felt a sudden pain from his fangs and felt as if her head had been in disrepair The sharp edge of his fangs broke through a vain within her neck then blood shot out past his teeth and down his throat. She could hear the violent gulps of her blood overflow within herself.
"Ka,.." She gasped, tightening her grip on his shoulders. "Kaname!" She was finally given the chance to breath.
Kaname's eyes tightened. "Yuuki?" He asked as if they were in any other normal position.
She waited a few moments as the liquid flowed faster. "Okay. You've had your fill." She softly stroked the back of his head and urged him to stop to no avail. "Kaname-sama!" She screeched with no choice, but to bite his right shoulder. Her own fangs held back with no such blood drained from his clavicle.
He jolted back at the sudden pain which broke his unorthodox focus. "I. Yuuki..?" He asked once again while looking into her shocked eyes that changed to an apologetic, but sweet and scared expression.
"Kaname?" She searched through his unusual eyes. They were darker than normal. "Could.." She spoke, holding his arms length apart. "Could you hear me?"
His eyes dilated in and out. "..." Saying not one word, he shook his head as a responding 'no'.
Yuuki hugged him apologetically. She licked her crimson-covered lips as the same time she wiped away the blood from her brother's mouth.
"Alright." She stood up showing a smile from ear to ear. "Wait for me, okay?"
His eyes flowed her steady movement to the bathroom's entrance. His tone of voice was a soft one. "Alright." He put up a discouraged smile.
Yuuki waved nervously before shutting the door. Kaname's smile slowly curved downward. "Oh, loving sister." He chuckled. "There can be only one of you."
Yuuki's eyes widened. She leaned back on the door and breathed roughly as she cuffed her hand around her neck, thinking. 'Kaname-sama?' She staggered, taking one step forward. 'What's happened? .. That sharp pain before his teeth entered my neck,... those were the tips of his fangs.' Yuuki fell to her knees and looked at her shaking hands. 'Just for a moment, they paralyzed me.'
She forced herself to laugh as she stated. "Kaname-onii. bit off more than he could chew." She sighed heavily in relief. "Ka-san,..." Her eyes grew big once more. She gasped then whispered. "He must have really tasted my blood. My blood ran sour for him because of the memories of Zero-kun radiating within himself. I wonder if he realized it." She covered her mouth, feeling overwhelmed.
Kaname was left alone to think. He took out two chess pieces from his pockets, not queen nor, pawn but, a rook and bishop. He stood still looking at the molded glass rook in his right palm. "My imouto still has her old humanly traits. That's a mild part of being human, I guess." He chuckled, before breaking sweat. "It's too warm in here." He looked above himself to turn on the fan.
The fan twirled around, blowing wind in his face. He smiled as if to enjoy the cool and thin air. "Much better." He thought as he felt for his pocket only to drop the glass pieces that soon rolled by the bed side. "Hmm?" He crouched down to search for them and saw a gleam of light from the one piece which had rolled next to the bed. After laying on the floor, he retrieved the one glass bishop and spotted Yuuki's newly written letter and a recent letter from Zero.
Kaname pulled them from the floor only to feel a sharp pain in his palm. "Ugh.." He barely spoke, looking at the cause of his pain,... a small glass shard from one of the game pieces had slipped down through the surface of his palm. He used his fingers to quickly pluck the thin glass out and continued gathering the material along with his other chess piece.
The pure-blood prince stretched out his hand. The wounds healed immediately except for the fang piercing which finally closed from the night before.
He struggled from the floor. It was obvious he still suffered from the minor shards that enlarged into his skin. Kaname scanned the words on the envelopes. One of course addressed to Zero from Yuuki and the other to Yuuki from Zero. "I wonder..." He whispered then peeked at Zero's letter.
He took a paper and pen of his own and wrote much faster. "Wha?" A tear of blood moved down his palm and onto the letter itself, just as he finished. "I'm still?" He wiped away the substance from his hand and tried removing the stain on the paper itself.
The vampire finally took his letter to the door. 'Kaname-sama?', a certain voice ran through his mind. He turned back and got Yuuki's letter as well as his almost forgotten envelope and exited.
Yuuki stood wet under the shower rod. She clearly still had the blood drinking scene trapped in her mind as she scrubbed her arms to rid herself of that particular moment's vibe. She held the towel over her chest, stared at the dim light above her, and thought. 'If onii-san did see the letters? I wonder if... Zero-kun should be safe, although that dream I had. Will someone die? She told me not to interfere, but what if I do, then I'd die.' "No Yuki!...Yuuki." 'I hope this will end happily or at least with the truth."
She switched the rod off, stepped out with a towel wrapped around her self, and threw another towel over her newly wavy hair. She sighed and listened to the empty echoes from the other room. "It's quiet. Did Kaname step out?" Yuki peeked threw a small crack in the door. 'I don't see him. Hm?"She stood back from the door.
"I must hurry." Yuuki put on a determined demeanor. After dressing in a casual black mini shirt, white shirt and slim black vest with a black tie, she put on black rose earrings, a left half glove, slipped into gray thigh high stockings, and black leather sandals. She carried her dirty clothes inside a large towel and put it in a laundry bag by her luggage outside the door. "I'll wash these later."
She walked back over to her bunk to notice the shelf was still open. "Ah.!" She yelled upon seeing Kaname enter the room. "Kaname-san!
"Hello, again Yuuki. You look cute." He smiled as he closed the door behind himself. "And you smell nice too."
"Um, thank you onii, though my hair is still wet and wavy." Yuuki blushed slightly as she sat on the bed and glanced up at him. "So?" She began. "Did you go somewhere?"
He nodded. "I sent those letters of yours. I even sent one of my own because of you."
She thought. "Oh.""Maybe he didn't see the letters after all."
"Hey, Yuuki." He got her attention.
"Yes?"
"Is there something you need to tell me?" He stared into her eyes in the most serious manner.
His eyes filled Yuuki with shock causing her warm heart to race. She quickly shook her head. "No, nothing at all."
"Oh really?" Kaname thought.
She looked around the room nervously."Um.. Ka-san the pierced wound on your hand has gone away. So you've taken in enough blood. That's good." She pointed out.
"Oh, yes." He glanced at his wound which were conveniently on the same arm as his watch. "I'll be waiting for you down stairs, alright?" He sighed quietly.
"Sure." She watched the floor.
"Adioh?" Kaname saw the blond haired vampire standing in the door way with a glum appearance on his face. He stood in a black shirt and white pants."You should be with Kain." He announced after looking at his clothing.
"Yes, but I thought I'd walk Yuuki-sama down." His green eyes met Yuuki's brown ones.
Kaname grinned. "Alright, I see you soon Yuuki, Adioh." He walked past him, giving a glance unforeseeable to Yuuki in their presence.
"Adioh-kun you sound different than usual. Are you alright?" She addressed him as he stepped inside.
He nodded, answering. "I was thinking after we last spoke..."
She asked. "You want a huge tub of vanilla ice cream with pocky bits in it too?"
He shook his head as a responding 'no'. "Well, yes it sounds good but..." He groaned, slapping his hand on his forehead. "Why must I listen to Kaname Kuran? Is it because he's a pure blood? Am I scared of him? Or do I even respect him?" He heard sudden laughter coming from Yuuki.
"Adioh." She smiled, reaching his head then ruffing his hair. "Oh Idol, you have so much to learn."
"Yuuki-chan." A small tear stayed at the corner of his eyes. He let her pet him as if he were her blond haired little puppy.
She locked her hands behind her back and stared up at him. "I guess this little talk means that you trust me." He nodded. "And you didn't consider that I might be offended by those words."
He held a look of surprise toward her. "What?"
"I'm not offended don't worry. I feel sort of the same in a way." She search in her bag. "Here." She stuck a Gatsby, or soft brimmed hat on his head. "I was gonna give you this later but, since you're here. It's a very popular hat in New York."
"Thanks." He turned to retrieve her bags. "Lets go."
"Kay." She said happily, following him out with her bunny in hand. 'Adioh's funny when he's nervous."
Adioh walked down the hall thinking to himself. "I feel bad about doing this. I'll just walk her to the elevator. Whatever happens, happens and it won't be my fault." He nodded. "I mean, she gave me a hat." Tears of happiness quickly rained down his face.
"See you Adioh-kun. Thanks for the help." She smiled with her luggage in hand.
Adoih waves goodbye and Yuuki awaits the elevator's return. She hears something over in the next room of the floor. "That's Kaname-san. Why are they?" She thought and listened in around the corner.
Later she heard someone's voice. "What are you doing?"
"Ruka!" Yuuki covered her mouth and whispered. "I'll explain later, but right now I need your help with something."
Ruka was wearing a green short ruffled shirt, solid green gloves, a green vest over a black shirt and green tie. With the likeness of Yuuki's clothes she had thigh high stockings and leather boots. She walked up to Kaname with a worried look in her eyes.
"Ruka-chan your, dressed like Yuuki?" He had to ask changing his sentence midway.
She nodded. "We talked about it yesterday."
"Oh, well it looks good on both of you. So did you want something?"
Kain and Adioh walked out. Kain sighed like usual when it came to Ruka as Adioh thought. "Did Yuuki-chan put Ruka-chan up to something?"
"Um, well.. I overheard you said you were leaving somewhere. Is that true, is something wrong?"
Kaname suddenly wraps her tight within his arms and whispers in her ear. "Nothing is wrong." He stated simply, feeling no movement in his embrace. "I'm just meeting a lost friend at the next stop. Please, don't mention this to Yuuki, Ruka-chan."
Ruka's heart raced. He held for a while before, "I won't." she said as he released her from his embrace.
Ruka meets back up with Yuuki in the hotel's checkout lobby. "I'm sorry Yuuki-chan he told me not to tell." She cried.
Yuuki sighed and thought. "Hey Ruka-chan."
Ruka turned, asking. "What are you doing now?"
"Can you write me a letter? She smiled immensely.
Back at the academy the silver haired boy received two letters. One of which made the hunter smile, the other might as well have been written in clear blood itself. He showed each letter to Headmaster who noticed the blood tainted on the pure-blood's letter and commented. "Maybe it was an accident."
The words written in blood mentioned a challenge of sorts. Headmaster agreed to drive him to a specific location.
Kaien reads Kaname's letter, the end short and to the point. "Pure-blood Kaname Kuran."
Finally the time arrives as they reach the site. Headmaster stays put by the car door. Zero jumps from the passenger's seat with a letter of his own in hand.
The pure-blood sees eye to eye with the hunter. Each of them come wielding no weaponry. The green oak trees rustle in angst of this moment. They too feel the tension in the atmosphere as well as the birds and... their princess?
