5th Chapter of Yuki's Snow
THE BLOODLINE OF ROYALTY
Who would have thought I'm capable of emotions? That a species like me that is bound to be alone could fall for his own prey?
A couple of months ago an acquaintance came to visit him. He was a half-breed and very greedy. He had his eyes on the heir apparent since Yuki was thirteen years old.
He didn't know that the man dropped by, Yuki was shocked when he saw him leaning over his sleeping lover, Shuichi's neck exposed.
"What are you doing, Seguchi san?" I asked, more frightened than surprised.
Tohma Seguchi is my father's right hand man, my family had entrusted me to his care. But I refused to go with him and stayed at the family mansion. He hadn't come by for a couple of months and I thought he had forgotten about me. I was more frightened now because he found a human in my house, unharmed and not taken.
I took him to the other room, and there we argued and shouted at each other. He wants Shuichi if I'm not gonna have him. I told him I'm saving Shuichi for my next birthday. But he wanted proof. He want me to show him my true worth of my birthright and draw my first blood as a rite of passage as an Eiri heir.
I shuddered at that thought of biting Shuichi and let alone sucking his blood.
Tohma Seguchi knew the boy all too well. He knew that Yuki is not cut out to be a vampire despite his lineage. Actually he's got no interest with the pink-haired boy. But it was Yuki whom he wanted so bad, because Yuki is a pureblood, a royalty amongst vampire. To have Yuki will make him powerful and all the neighboring vampire clan would bow to him because the last of the last of the rare blood is his lover. So he twisted the younger man to his will.
"Either you take him or submit to me." Tohma said, smiling sweetly. Yuki felt ill, there's an unbearable pain at the pit of his stomach.
"I would give you one week, Eiri kun, and then I would come back for your answer." Tohma said, he transformed and vanished into the open window.
Ryuichi offered that he would take Shuichi away. Erase his memory and leave him back to where he belongs. But the mere thought of not seeing Shuichi again almost killed the young heir.
"I can't." he cried, "I can't live without him."
Ryuichi gathered his master in his arms, as the younger man cried weakly in his arms.
There's no other way, Yuki had said, the week is almost up. But Ryuichi knew that Tohma Seguchi is a ruthless man, he would only use his master to his whims and then dump him. He decided to tell Shuichi and let him decide what to do. If he really love Yuki, he must convince Yuki to take him. If not everything would be lost. Yuki would be another pureblood in Seguchi's harem.
