Chapter 26

It was night again. Hanabusa yawned. He tried to roll over on to his side. He couldn't. He noted Kain's arm around his waist. He blushed. The events of the night before rushed to his mind. It was the first time they had made love, consummating their bond.

"Hanabusa," said Kain desperately. Although he was the one who usually showed less restraint, Hanabusa was uninterested. Kain pressed his lips against the other's lips.

Pushing the elder away, "We shouldn't be doing this," said Hanabusa. "Everyone is trying to sleep."

"Shut up!" hissed Kain harshly. His body craved the younger boy's touch. He pressed his lips against the other more insistently.

Wanting nothing more than to give in to his mate's demands, Hanabusa abandoned all doubts. Like hell does it matter? With Kain's lips hot against his own, Hanabusa wrapped his arms around the elder, pulling him closer. Soon the need to breathe broke them apart. Kain smirked at the flush on Hanabusa's cheeks and his parted pink lips and mussed up blond hair, knowing that he was the only one who could do this to the younger boy. He leaned in. This time the kiss was less insistent, instead more sensual. The younger parted his lips to allow his cousin entrance. The heat augmented. Hanabusa's arms were no longer wrapped around his mate's neck. His hands couldn't seem to work fast enough. It seemed an eternity before each button came free. Unable to reign in his impatience, Kain just ripped the clothing off his mate's body.

Fire traced a line down a marble column. A snake slithered down it, and sank its fangs deep into soft supple flesh. A moan drew itself from parted pink lips. "Kain."

Ecstasy, the feeling gained from the drinking of ones blood. To enhance the pleasure, or perhaps to experience completion, Hanabusa shifted and pierced Kain skin with his own fangs. He could taste some of his own blood flowing through his mate's veins.

CUT actually that was my first almost lemon…so I can't actually go any further…that really sucked right? I know. END CUT

They had gone further, but Hanabusa knew that if he blushed at the memory of foreplay, he would possibly not be able to handle the memory of their love making. The boy smiled lovingly at his mate. He shifted slightly, trying to get out of the bed, yet not wanting to wake the elder. He sighed. What am I going to do? It was illegal for the Shichiyou to link their blood with one of the serving class of branch clans. We just did no…it started long ago, the moment I agreed to be adopted by our hime.

The others in the household were beginning to wake. A hard night's work was set. They were to research the answers to the questions that were given to them by Sakurada-sensei and Tsukon-sensei.

After taking care of their own businesses, everyone congregated in the drawing room. They were waiting for Kaetsukikko-hime and Kaname-dono, their leaders. When Kaetsukikko-hime entered, she said, "Ikuzo (let's go)."

She led them to the library. She did not wait for Kain to open the door. She stepped up and pierced her wrist on the spike that was above the doorknob, in which there was a small receptacle designed for the catching of blood. A sweet scent assaulted the nostrils of the nobles. They had each a meager meal of blood tablets. Though any pure blood would have satisfied their want, this was driving them crazy. Mindlessly they advanced upon herself, Kain, Hanabusa and Kaname. They had a fair share of Shichiyou blood.

"Tch, I should have known that you would not be able to control yourselves," muttered Kaetsukikko. "Kai!" She used several hand-signs, to complete the procedure. They were taken aback by what they were about to do.

"Gomen nasai, hime-sama, Kaname-sama, Hanabusa-sama, Kain-sempai," they murmured bowing their heads. Even a servant to the Shichiyou was in higher standing than normal purebloods and aristocrats.

"Hn, whatever," said Kaetsukikko-hime. The implied message was: show more restraint next time.

Kain held the door open, as Kaetsukikko-hime led them into the library. There, they sought the answers to the following questions:

What is the Old Order? Why was it dispersed?

What was the Code of the Olde Ordere?

What was the role of the Shichiyou in the fall of the Olde Ordere?

Why did the Vampire Monarchy change hands?

Who was Adelheid?

Who is Akabara Strauss? Give details of his life.

Who is Guilt-na-zan? Why does he still exist today?

Who is Count Dracula? Is he just fiction? Or has he escaped the pages of the novel of Bram Stoker? Who was Bram Stoker? Was the novel just a part of a biography compiled by Bram Stoker, using the notes of a young man named Jonathan Harker?

Who was the first King from the House of Kuran?

Were Adelheid, Akabara Strauss, Guilt-na-zan and Vlad Draculae members of the Olde Order?

The Night Class students spent the night, going from shelf to shelf, trying to find books about the Olde Order and the vampire monarchy. It was dawn when they found the books. They were titled: the Olde Order and Its Fall and The Heirs to The Shichiyou.

"I saw the questions on the board a few nights ago, do you not need information about Vlad Draculae?" asked Kaetsukikko-hime.

"Hai, hime," said everyone, except Alexander Lucard, who said, "I have information."

"We are done here for tonight. The books shall be left here on this table. Tomorrow, we will return to read and take notes from these books," said Kaetsukikko-hime.

"Hai-hime," they replied.

They returned to their rooms and got ready for bed.

In the master bedroom, though…

".me." said Kaetsukikko. "Are you alright?"

Kaname was lost in his memories.

I planned on adding spoilers for Kaname's memories, but I did not have time to because I want to post this today, I just finished it, ten minutes ago.
