He couldn't believe it, staring straight into the others eyes, after all these years someone beat him, someone was actually stronger and faster than him. Closing his eyes he rose to stand facing the blue-net sighing in defeat. "This is bullshit…."

Aomine laughed lightly, walking past the redhead and heading back to the living room to lounge on the couch, lazily slinging his legs over the arm rest and sighing in boredom. "That's what you get for thinking you could beat me…. Weakling" he could only imagine the look he was getting right now, and it pleased him to know he could so easily aggravate Kagami. Alright so maybe the fight wasn't fair, after all he was injured and he did have quite an advantage over him strength and agility wise but it intrigued him that this redhead was able to keep up with him…and come so close to winning, at the end of the battle he wasn't holding back his strength from the guy and he was still able to land 4 marks out of 5, and that look in his eyes, the same as his, a fire that could only be brought out by facing someone worthy of his skill, and was he worthy. Heal your wounds quick Kagami… I want to see what fighting you full force is really like…. Tilting his head back to gaze at the redhead he couldn't quite put his finger on it but there was something different about this guy and come hell or high water he was going to uncover every dark secret he and his body holds.

Staring out on the lake he went through the fight in his head, remembering the smirk on that guys face, it pissed him off that he was going to have to do whatever this guy wanted now, it's almost as if that guy knew what buttons to press to piss him off, everything about that guy pissed him off but a promise is a promise and he never broke his word. Though his heart felt as if he was betraying it by staying here and not leaving in search for him….The one that took…. Shifting his gaze to the sky he took a deep breath clenching his hands into a fist, "I'm sorry…. Kuroko I promise I haven't forgotten and I will never forgive but give me some time… I will find him" A slight breeze caressed his face, sighing with a slight smile feeling as though that was Kuroko accepting his promise.

Smelling the air orange and red eyes surveyed his surroundings, a little town, smaller than the last one he took his time destroying, at the edge of a forest seemed like a good enough place to start, after all the stench of that redhead seemed to have passed through here not too long ago and after searching for two days, braving the burning sun as he fallowed the smell of that sweet and powerful blood, he built up quite an appetite.

"My dear lady" He bowed taking her hand and gracing it with a kiss as he took in her sweet aroma, virgin, a smile crossing his lips, "You wouldn't happen to know of a place I might stay the night would you" He eyed the beauty in front of him, tall slender body, well-endowed chest, long flowing red curls and the perfect neck.

"Why good sir" a blush darkening her cheeks "If you like… my father owns an inn close by, would you like me to show you the way?" she smiled sheepishly as she made a gesture for him to fallow her.

God how he loved using his powers of persuasion, a simple kiss is all it takes, "Might I ask your name? or should I just call you Rose…. You are just as beautiful as one if not more so" She looked away blushing harder, heart pounding, he could hear it in her chest, like sweet music to his ears, calling to him. Hell hath no fury like a thirsty vampire, and right now, if it wasn't for the fact he needed her, he would take her in a dark alley way and drain her dry after, of course, he had his way.

"Victoria…." She glanced over, "And yours kind sir?"

Oh kind sir, HAHAHA, if only you knew my dear…. "Akashi"

"Get inside or you'll catch a cold idiot" Aomine put out the fire and made way for the bedroom, he reluctantly did as he was told and closed the doors behind him. Placing a hand on his stomach as it cried out, IM HUNGRY WHAT ARE YOU DOING? FEEDING ME, blushing lightly at the sound it made, it was loud enough for the slightly taller of the two to hear. "Um….." He scratched the back of his neck looking to the side.

"The kitchen is down the hall, make whatever you want just don't burn down my house" Waving his hand behind him as he disappeared down the dark hall leading to the room.

GOD he pisses him off, his attitude is unbearable, his 'I don't give a shit about anything' look and posture just pissed him off more and more. "Uh… I don't think I'll be able to take living with this guy… let alone do whatever he asked of me." A shiver ran down his spin at the mere thought of that cocky smirk plastered on the blue-nets face as he gave him orders.

Slowly he made his way to the kitchen, this guy really doesn't like the light does he, the rooms are all dimly lit by candle light, and felt so cold. Opening the French doors leading to the kitchen he was taken aback by the sheer size of it, dark marble counter tops hugging chocolate brown cabinets, a huge pantry and large fire heated stove, he even had an ice box to keep cold foods, it was amazing. Starting the fire under the stove to heat up some water he began to make something small and simple. Used to being alone and always on his own he picked up a few tricks when it came to cooking and considered himself quite the chef, any woman would be lucky to have a man like him he always thought. A sweet smell of fresh herbs mixed with some beef filled the room, cooking was one of the things that he could really take his time and enjoy, it was an art, something you had to be good at to actually get something worth enjoying.

Plating his food and taking a seat, cutting a piece of the succulent beef and razing it to his lips, stomach gurgling, he placed the fork in his mouth ready to enjoy the taste of his only food in two days. It tasted….. Metallic…. Opening his eyes and looking down at his fork sure he had cut a piece he froze.

"Not bad…." He turned to see Aomine licking his fingers, one at a time, with a smirk as he glared down at the redhead, "He can cook" Reaching forward to grab another piece.

Glaring back at the blue-net he waked his hand away with the fork "Get your own food you savage" he smirk receiving a deadly glare from the other challenging him to try that again.

Leaning forward, inches away from Kagami's face, "You seem to forget whose house you're in and who's food you're eating Bakagami" reaching forward a second time and snatching a piece and walking away.

"What's with that guy" heart pounding from having the others face so close he turned and looked down at his food, half missing. "Damn it" Skewering his meat and placing the whole piece in his mouth afraid that Aomine would come and take the rest he felt kind of stupid choking on it instead of enjoying it…

Cleaning up the kitchen and putting out the fire he made his way for the bedroom he was in earlier, opening the door and sighing in exhaustion from the fight and the wounds which were already healing he removing his shirt and crawling into bed, pulling the covers over already cold body. Lying his head down on the soft down pillow he drifted into the dark abyss of his dreams.

"That was utterly satisfying" Sitting at the table in his room with his feet propped up on the chair in front of him he slowly drank from his win glass caressing the red curls resting on his lap. "I must say your family is quite welcoming Victoria… who knew they cooked so well" Akashi looked down at Victoria lying next to him, head resting on his lap.

Taking another gulp finishing his glass and promptly rising from his chair Victoria fell limp to the floor, "Well thank you everyone for this delectable supper and all, Victoria you made an absolutely delicious desert, but I must excuse myself from the table, Sleep calls" walking past Victoria's body, over her father's body and stopping at her mother's kneeling down. "Thank you so very much for letting me stay at your place miss….. What was your last name again?" He smiled down to the almost lifeless woman lying next to the door where she had tried to run away.

"M….Mon….Monster" she whispered between desperate gasps for air.

"Now, now is that any way to treat your guests…" his smile quickly turned to one of murder as he took her face in his hands and….SNAP…. the body fell limp to the floor.

"I AM no monster, what I am soooo much more…."
