Yay, part 3 enjoy

Chapter Thirty Six

Backward

The explosion smoke dissipated, leaving Rei standing thought she was badly wounded, with most of her clothes ripped off and cracked like scars on her body and face that had been slowly disappearing. The vampire had tears falling from her face as she stood there, hearing the crackles of Elena's body burning into the sunlight…turning to ashes.

She turned around, seeing only the ashes left on the ground. She approached it, looking down at the only evidence that Elena had lived and walked this Earth…when something glinted gold in the ashes, catching her attention. Rei crouched down taking the object letting out a slight gasp as she recognizes it.

It was small necklace, bearing the symbol of an eagle. Something she herself had given Elena many years ago when the girl was a Human. Rei tightened her fist around it, feeling more tears in her eyes. In that single glance earlier, she had seen the same girl that she once knew…the girl that had loved her…still have, some part of her, she had seeing it…

Dead her own hands…

She ripped off some of her clothes and assembled the ashes into it before tightening her grip the small bag. This will be the least she could do for her…

"Rei,"

She turned seeing Lilly and Asuka approaching her. They both seems to be fine, thought Asuka had an angry red cheek.

"I'm fine," she said, sounding more controlled than she felt, "What had happened to your cheek?"

Asuka raised a hand rubbing it.

"She cut me with her dagger…thought it had been burning…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Asuka toppled forward, and Rei quickly advanced forward catching the redhead before she touch the ground.

"Asuka," she yelled.

Lilly had went to find the dagger, sniffing it.

"That thing is coated with Vamridic."

Rei looked at her, her red eyes frantic.

"Vamridic…you sure?"

"Yeah," Lilly said, "They must really want to kill you."

Rei frantically pressed her ear against Asuka's chest, listening to her heart. It was beating at an abnormally slow rate…

"It's already taken effect," she said, "I have to suck it out."

"Rei, that thing could kill you," Lilly told her.

"I'm not letting her die," Rei snapped at her, her red eyes flashing.

Then she turned toward the pale Asuka, "I…I already lost someone dear to me…I'm not losing another…no matter what the cost."

Lilly looked uneasy at the decision but she nodded.

Rei pulled Asuka closer to her, the redhead eyes were half lidded, her breathing labored. Rei used her nail to slice a cut at the side of her neck. She didn't want to take the chance of turning Asuka with her Vampire venom. Then, she brought down her lips seemingly kissing the warm skin, the blood splashing into her mouth.

It tasted better than she imagined, all her senses acute, subconsciously tightening her hold on Asuka's body. Felling her fangs lengthening, her primal side wanted her to mark Asuka as hers…to bite down on her so, so delicious flesh…

No, Rei thought, Must find the poison first…

Acute with Asuka's blood she searched the poison, her eyes closed, feeling the circulation around Asuka's body…the drumming of her heart…

There, she thought, finding the dark green mass within the blood. Tapping it with her hand, she sends a burst of dark magic, linking the poison to her lips. She then started to suck it out, feeling Asuka's body tremble in her arms, the girl letting out a slight gasp.

Rei pulled off, breathing deeply as her red eyes dimmed a little from the poison she had just swallowed…but she was relieved that Asuka would be alright…

BAM!

Before she could move, something slammed into her with forces making her stumble backward as blood dripped from it.

A bullet.

Across the roof, Hikari Hokari stood across them, both of her silver colts out. She was probably just arriving and probably misunderstood the situation and she hated vampires, so she jumped to conclusions. Then she fired again more bullets slamming into Rei's body until the vampire had fallen off the roof into the ground below. Then she switched to Lilly who had read her intentions, jumped after Rei, the bullets missing her.

The blonde vampire landed beside Rei's body that was on the ground, weakly moving. Then a car pulled up and a man dressed in all black stepped out, his red-tinted glasses shadowing his eyes.

"I'm Gendo Ikari," he said.

Lilly nodded. She knew who he was having heard about him from Rei.

"Knew we couldn't trust these bloodsuckers," Hikari mumbled.

"Shut up," Misato said, "I'm watching the news."

"The unexpected destruction in the near lower parts of Tokyo-3 had drawn many curious eyes of the media. Authorities are not releasing any details…but we are aware of a gas leak in one of the apartment had come close to a fire…causing the destruction you're seeing here. Stay tuned as we continue to develop this story…"

Someone is covering up the story, Misato thought.

But even herself didn't really know what happened. Hikari had told her that she had found Rei and Lilly feeding off of Asuka and had fired bullets toward Rei. But it didn't make any senses to her. she had felt allied to the vampires back in Rome, even if she didn't fully trust them.

Old Hunter's instinct, she concluded.

"Are you Mrs. Soryu's guardian?"

Misato stood along with Hikari.

"Yeah," she said, "Is she going to be alright?"

"Yes she will be fine," the doctor said, "But…I have identified some chemical in her blood…mostly had to do with the cut on her cheek. Trace of chemicals were found there, chemicals mostly found in dangerous poisons."

"She was…poisoned?" Misato said, blanching.

"Yes…but the amazing thing is, that we didn't find any trace of poison in her system," the man said, looking amazed as he spoke, "Someone had sucked it all out…without draining the girl of blood. Whoever it was, must be quite a skilled doctor."

Or a vampire, Misato thought, "Is she awake?"

"She is resting at the moment," the doctor said, "But you can go see her."

Asuka stayed on the bed on the hospital. It was the second time she had been there, both times; a vampire related incident…thought as she put a hand on her bandaged neck, a slight blush rising on her cheeks.

She didn't really recall what really happened after she had fall down, but she was still conscious when Rei's lips made contact with her skin. Never in her life had she had an intimate contact with someone of the same gender as hers, but she had found herself enjoying the contact…immensely.

And when Rei had started to suck…God, Asuka had felt her entire body trembling with desire…and before she could even stop herself, she had gasped loud enough to know both Rei and Lilly had heard her. But what had caused her to react that way? Sure she never hated Rei…but that doesn't mean she liked her that way does she? After all, Rei is a friend to her…a precious friend…a friend's whose lips she wants to have all over her…

Stop it, Asuka thought to herself, shaking her head blushing a deep red.

That was when the door opened, letting Misato and Hikari in, thought Asuka found herself feeling a little disappointed. She had been expecting Rei.

"How are you feeling?" Misato asked her, "Your face is all red."

"I'm fine," Asuka quickly said, "Just feeling a little hot…but I could have been better without the destruction."

"I'll bet," Misato said.

"Say, where is Rei and Lilly?" Asuka asked.

Misato jerked her head toward Hikari, "Ask her."

Asuka turned toward the said person, "Hikari?"

"I shot at them," she said curtly.

"You did What?" Asuka said, "Why?"

"She had her lips against your neck,' Hikari snapped at her, "I was trained to kill these damn pest, what I was supposed to think was happening?"

"They were our allies," Asuka told her.

Hikari gives her a death glare.

"I'll never trust a vampire…no matter who or what they are."
