Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Get Backers. This is a Get Backers fan fiction, ideas purely fan-made speculations based off the relationship between the Get Backers duo and infused with several elements inspired – and not stolen off the Vampire Chronicles Universe by Anne Rice. It is also important to note that this does not contain ANY of her characters, thus this is strictly NOT a Vampire Chronicles/Get Backers crossover.

Chapter 9

Ginji absentmindedly wound a lock of Ban's dark hair around a finger, whose head was rested on Ginji's lap. Four days had flew by after the meeting with Kato-san, the old gardener, Ginji mused. He watched as Ban leafed through a thick book, the pages yellowed with age, wondering to himself of the people he and Ban had left behind in Shinjuku. Ban's vivid blue eyes seemed to crackle across lines of black-inked words, absorbing the information from the book. Ginji smiled at the picture he made, brows knitted together and concentrating on the text held out before him.

Ginji didn't even realise that Ban had closed his book and had sat upright in his seat, looking at Ginji's face intently. It was only when his calloused fingers stroked down the side of his neck that he noticed the deep stare Ban had on him.

"Ban-chan? Is everything okay? Is there something on my face?" Ginji asked, feeling a self-conscious blush creep up onto his cheeks.

Ban laughed softly. "No, there's nothing on your face. I just-" He moved closer to Ginji, eliminating the space between them both. "-wanted to admire you, that's all." With that, Ban licked down the side of his neck, a devious grin playing on his lips.

Ginji giggled a bit, but pushed Ban away. He held his grinning lover an arm's length from him, and spoke in a more serious tone. "Ban-chan, you're always like this. No offense, but," Ginji paused at Ban's indignant squawk and continued. "You seem to always want to say something to me, but you don't. So tell me, what is it you want to say to me?"

Ban was startled at Ginji's question. He raised his hands up in defeat. "Okay, you caught me, Ginji." Ban hesitated, but continued at Ginji's probing look. "I'm just curious. How did... Cadmus's blood taste like?"

Ginji giggled again. "Oh, so that's what's bothering you. Well, it's hard to describe..." Ginji paused thoughtfully. "The taste is like nothing I've ever tasted before... it kind of rushes into your brain and shocks your body in a GOOD way, you see..." He blushed at the memory, and Ban smirked at Ginji's implication.

"That good, Ginji? I'd better ask Cadmus for one of his blood kisses, then," Ban murmured wickedly into Ginji's ear. The blond boy responded with a cute pout and a frown. Ban ran his finger teasingly across his full bottom lip. "What, you can do that with him, and I can't?"

"It's not that, Ban-chan..." Ginji protested, swatting Ban off him playfully.

"Then what is it? Could you be... jea-lous?" Ban said in an unusual sing-song voice. Ginji passed it off to one of Ban's rare good moods, which made him do things which were unlikely for a person such as him.

"You seem very happy, Ban-chan," Ginji grinned at his partner, and cleverly avoiding Ban's question. He expected Ban to protest, but instead, he grinned wider.

"Of course I'm more than happy. I'm with you," Ban stated honestly, and moved closer to Ginji, leaning in for a kiss.

"And with me as well, I hope," A familiar voice sounded, startling them both.

"C-Cadmus-san!" Ginji stuttered, being startled at the vampire's sudden presence and began moving away from Ban as far as possible. Ban smirked at Ginji's prudishness and gestured to Cadmus to sit in between them.

Laying an arm onto Cadmus's broad shoulder, Ban smirked again in his attractively arrogant manner and spoke.

"Hey, don't I get any attention from you at all?"

Cadmus flashed iridescent violet eyes in surprise and smiled at his good mood. "What do you mean, cherub?"

"Cherub?" Ban muttered incredulously, then shrugged. "Well, anything is better than Snake Bastard, or Man with the Evil Eye, I suppose." Ban paused, then leaned into Cadmus's personal space, and grinned when he heard a hitching of breath from the vampire. "What I mean is... don't I get any blood kisses, Cadmus?" He purred, hot breath tickling his ear. "I'd kill to have a taste of you..."

Cadmus stilled for a moment upon hearing those wicked words. He grasped and lifted Ban's chin to meet his eyes. "You're lucky that I have already fed before coming here, cherub," He whispered softly, bringing Ban's full mouth to his.

"So - warm," Ban gasped between his furious kisses, purposefully nicking his bottom lip onto Cadmus's sharp fang. His warm blood trickled into Cadmus's mouth. His eyes widened and he let out an involuntary gasp as he ripped his mouth away from Ban's.

"What are you doing?" Cadmus choked out, as he struggled to let go of the spell of his hot blood. The heady taste of Ban's sweet essence still lingered in his mouth.

"Please," Ban mewled, grabbing the back of Cadmus's neck forcefully and meshed their lips together once more, nicking a fresh cut on his tongue with a fang. Pleased with the dull throb the cut made, he pushed his bloody tongue into Cadmus's open mouth and gasped as Cadmus sucked hard on his tongue, drawing every single drop of blood from the cut. He heard Ginji's light footsteps move away from them, and halted.

"No, Ginji wait," Cadmus panted and stopped mid-suck, releasing Ban. His eyes roved to Ban's flushed expression and his ravaged lips for a moment, and then to Ginji's retreating back. Ginji stopped.

"The three of us should move... somewhere more comfortable," Cadmus murmured, raising an eyebrow in suggestion.

Ban shook his head as if to clear it, sitting up. "Yeah, you're right." In a quick flurry of movement which surprised even Cadmus, Ban had both Ginji and Cadmus by the hand, half-dragging them to his and Ginji's room. A determined expression was plastered all over his still-flushed face. If Ginji didn't know any better, he would have mistaken that expression for his battle face.

Once there, he pushed both of them onto the bed, and began ravaging Cadmus's mouth and moved out of his clothes in one lithe wriggle. He sat heavily on Cadmus's hips, straddling him, and he couldn't help but to fall deep into Ban's intense stare as he locked his eyes to his.

Ban broke the heady spell with a devious grin, and he tossed his head over his shoulders to meet Ginji's own hungry stare. Cadmus finally noticed that he was the only one still fully-clothed between the three of them, and made a move to unbutton his own shirt, but was met with resistance in the form of Ginji's hand clasped around his wrist.

"Let me," Ginji spoke in his distinctively innocent voice, a blush forming in his cheeks. It was odd how he could still sound so innocent whilst having his half-hard organ exposed and doing not-so-innocent things to Ban's, Cadmus thought. His hands trembled as he popped each button out of its place slowly, and Cadmus lifted his body temporarily to help Ginji speed up the process of removing his clothes.

"Your skin... is like marble," Ban rasped, trailing a calloused hand down the length of Cadmus's lightly muscled body. Ginji made an impatient and needy sound, and engulfed Ban in a desperate kiss and startling the other. The surprise was quickly replaced with a grateful moan, though, as Ginji moved his mouth lower and licked the hot head of Ban's throbbing erection. Ban was truly beautiful writhing across the sheets in need.

"Gin-ji..." Ban cried out in pleasure, his spine arching as Ginji suckled hard on him. Then he said the unthinkable. "Take me..."

Ban groaned upon feeling the loss of warmth from Ginji's mouth on his manhood. "Are you sure, Ban-chan? I mean... I've never done that to you before..."

"Ginnnn-ji.." Ban growled. In a quick move, he pushed Ginji on his back next to Cadmus, and the next thing he knew was that Ban had his erection in his hot and eager mouth. Ginji groaned loudly, and in a move to stifle said sounds had engulfed Cadmus in his own hot and eager kiss. The intensity of his kiss made Cadmus enter a whole new level of arousal he'd never felt before in his life.

Ban's sight was hazy with lust, but his intentions were clear. He fully intended to let both Ginji and Cadmus claim him that night. With that thought, Ban sucked hard, letting his spit trickle down to the base of Ginji's erection. Ginji groaned loudly, but it was muffled as Ban's mouth left him still hard and hanging on by a thread.

Without warning, Ban had lowered himself forcibly onto Ginji's erection making the both of them groan loudly. Ginji ripped his mouth away from Cadmus's for a moment, eyes wide with desire. Panting, Ban ignored the burning sensation he felt and focused on the escalating spit-spark of pleasure as he rode Ginji's hardness.

"Mnh... Gin-ji..." Ban groaned, his hips undulating hard.

Ginji gasped as Ban's muscles clenched around his, who was unused to being taken in this manner. Ginji shifted his hips a little, and Ban let loose a little scream as the head of Ginji's erection hit his sweet spot. Just a little more, and he knew he was done with...

Cadmus could not take it any longer seeing the two mortals pleasure each other in front of him. The surge of lust he felt was making his preternatural vision blur, and he knew he had to do something before he went mad with the thought. He envied them, in a way -- he couldn't feel sexual peaking in the same sense as they could. But he had another thing to offer; and he bit down on the tip of his tongue, and raised his bloody mouth to Ginji's open and gasping lips, sneaking in his bleeding tongue into his mouth.

Ginji gaped soundlessly and stilled, and he shot his essence deep and several times into his lover as the taste of Cadmus's ancient blood flooded all his senses. Ban gasped as he felt most of his hot liquid flow down his thigh, and he couldn't think for a moment as Cadmus enveloped him in the blood kiss. He trashed wildly about as the blood clouded his vision and he reached his peak several times over, coating all three of them copiously with his semen. Ban felt liquefied as he flopped his body on top of Ginji's, not minding the mess he was falling into.

All three of them breathed hard, still recovering from the exhilarating high of their sex. Ginji was still buried deep inside his lover, but the both of them made no move from their positions.

"That was amazing," Ban commented, chest still heaving as he extricated himself from Ginji.

"Mhmm..." Ginji mumbled in acquiescence, winding an arm each around the two men. He looked close to falling asleep, and Cadmus thought he'd never seen something so adorable in his life.

Cadmus tightened his hold on both of them, and smiled as he settled into a light doze.

The next evening found the trio all cleaned up, and Ban and Ginji tucking into a much-needed satisfying dinner. He only heard slivers of muted conversation between them, but he wasn't paying that much attention to it.

Cadmus was starting to be really fond of them, and was still lost in the memories of the night before when he heard Ginji's voice calling out his name.

"Cadmus-san? Did you hear me?" Ginji asked.

Cadmus smiled. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking of last night," He admitted.

"What? Don't tell me you regret what we did, because I sure as hell don't," Ban remarked, then chewed on a piece of sausage with renewed gusto.

"Neither do I, Cadmus-san!" Ginji flashed him a brilliant smile, and relapsed into hurried speech. "Anyway, I was just talking about going back to Shinjuku, since it has been a long time since we've left this place. You're the only one who can take us back there, and I think that our friends might be worried that we've left them for a long time. I miss taking retrieval missions... even though we have no need for money for now. Ah, I know! You can go with us during the retrieving missions, and we'll be the new Get Backers, ne Ban-chan? It would be so exciting! I hope you can take us there, and maybe we can introduce you to our friends!"

Cadmus thought it over carefully, examining their hopeful faces. He finally relented.

"Oh, alright. Why the hell not."

"Really?" Ban was surprised, he had been expecting Cadmus to want to keep them in his mansion for a while longer before venturing out with them just like that. Ginji whooped in joy and punched a fist into the air.

"Yes, really. Now, quick, put your coats on before I change my mind."
