Love in Dark Realm
By AngeL From Chaos
This is a plain story about a secret vampire clan, the Lamias,who were believed that they are just one of those myths. The folk tellers often describe them in three words: Immortal, brutal and lethal. Despite of these characteristics, there are capital laws that are strictly prohibited when dealing with humans: Limit their blood lust and don't dare to fall in love with humans. But what are the consequences for rule breakers like the princess of the dark realm, herself, Sakura Kinomoto?
However, there is this mystical book of the Legendary King Lacudra that possesses an ancient power to bring the dead to life… in exchange of someone's soul.
A/N: Love in dark realm is actually a comic strip of mine that's why I decided to publish it on the net, too. Yeah, right! I sketch this on my sketchpad! Anyway, this is just my 1st fanfiction to be submitted on this site so. Please pardon me for having some grammatical errors. I am not that expert in English grammar but I'll try my best not to have errors. It will be my pleasure if you'll review / post a comment.
Chapter 15
Naoko's eyes were fluttering as she lay down inside an opened tomb located in a catacomb. "Huh?" she pushed herself up to escape inside. The dark subterranean cemetery was composed of galleries or passages with tombs. "What is this place?" Naoko began to look around. "Damn, my glasses! Where are my glasses?" She finally went out from the tomb and…
"Looking for your glasses?" Yue asked the woman as he held the pair of glasses. "You look better without these, you know?"
"Oh! Thank you!" Naoko received the glasses kindly and quickly wore it. Yue just looked at her. "Hey! Something isn't right! My head hurts!" she suddenly removed her glasses. Out of dizziness, the glasses slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. "Shoot!" but then Naoko felt relief afterwards. "I… I can't understand this. Why? What?" Naoko became confused for a moment as she stared at the broken glasses on the dusted floor.
"You really don't need them anymore. Lamias don't need eyeglasses because they have sharper visions than humans do," he smiled faintly. "Come with me, I'll show you something." Yue offered his hand.
Still confused, Naoko accepted the offer and went with him.

Sakura watched the person embracing her who smiles sweetly. "This is amiss…" she thought weirdly. "You're not Syaoran!" she exclaimed as she pushed him away. Sakura could see the forming fangs and silver eyes. "Oh no… Oh no no no! Syaoran! What's wrong with you?"
Syaoran was somewhat hurt of her words, not expecting this outcome. "My princess, I thought you'll be happy to see me as one of your kin. I belong with your clan. You and I are one now. With this new form, we'll be together… forever," he pulled her once again back in his arms.
"I can't believe this, Syaoran. I want to be with you, too. I love you, Syaoran." Sakura hugged him tight, her breasts pressing against his.
"I'm happy you said that. Now, let me hear your answer to my question a while ago. I did ask you a question." He spoke seductively. Sakura blushed because the way he was looking at her was sending tingling shivers down her spine. Syaoran stared at her flushed cheeks. "Don't deny that I didn't turn you on, princess. You want me as I want you…" he smirked and gently pushed her against the wall. Then all of a sudden, butterfly kisses were placed on her sensitive neck, grinding her.
Sakura can't help but moan from the sensations he is giving.

Yue showed the entire catacombs to Naoko. "This is supposed to be my kingdom. This catacomb is where my soldiers' bodies are buried," anger swept through his calm face. "That damned Daidouji clan built the sealed chamber resulting my men's souls to be separated from their bodies. Their souls were engulfed by the sealed chamber. And until now, those souls were still imprisoned in that dimension." He looked at Naoko. "As for you, Naoko, you are now my new apprentice."
"Huh?" she's still confused, thinking she's just dreaming. "What? Your new apprentice? Why?"
"You're a made vampire…" Yue answered tilting her chin to face him. "I grant your wish to be one of us. And there, you have incredible strength and immortal." He watched Naoko's startled look.
"So… Later on, I'll begin to drink blood, uh?"
"That's our nature," Yue looked at the tombs. "I need your help to bring those soldiers come to life. I want them resurrected!" Naoko just listened. "The Legendary Book of Lacudra is in the hands of a human. You should give it to me so I can rebuild my empire." He smirked. "And after we succeed, you and I will share this Dark Realm."
Naoko smiled evilly. "Anything you want, master Yue."

King Fujitaka and Nadeshiko were on their way to the Tower of Realm. Fujitaka tightened his grip on the wheels. "Having Yue reborn is a serious thing to deal with. His wrath is dangerous especially when there is full moon" he tilted his head to see the rising sun. "Gladly this sun weakens him for a while. Where else Yue's power with the moon is intense so he's really the ultimate killing vampire." His chest thudded hard.
"I'm afraid that the prophecy is already beginning." Nadeshiko responded. And all of a sudden, the sky was getting dark. Flapping of wings was heard. "Honey, look at the sun, something is blocking it."
"Solar eclipse… The moon blocks it…" a pair of black wings soared above them. It was not some sort of lost crow or vulture looking for shelter. Certainly, the creature above wasn't seeking for shelter. He was seeking for trouble to be exact. Then there's a sudden thump on the car's roof. Someone'sup there. Fujitaka pressed the gas pedal and tried to escape from the creature, not because of fear but he's just trying to protect his beloved wife. "This is insane! Yue is here!"
"What are we gonna do?" Nadeshiko asked. "I'm sensing that he'll find a way to kill us."
Yue chased the sprinting car. "If you think you could make it to the Tower of Realm, well, you're mistaken!" he thought and raised his speed. He quickly grabbed the steel bumper of the car's back and smirked. "You'll both die with this…" with full strength, he shoved the dashing car against the fire tree like a man throwing a sack of hay. In a split second, it exploded. The blazing flames spread on the grasses as Yue retracted his wings and landed. He slowly walked towards the main source of explosion and smiled. "Don't try to fool me. I know you're still alive and waiting for a chance to hit me…" his long white hair swayed as he walked.

"Hold me, Syaoran. Hold me…" Sakura was moaning, little breathless cries, pleading for more. This time, his body slid down and his mouth found her breast, a thudding heartbeat behind it. The mound was warm to his tongue, but the nipple was tight and a flush of pink was spreading from her breastbone outward. She was so delicate, so quivering, and so vital. And he wanted her so badly he could have thrown her down. But he couldn't hurt her. Not Sakura.
"Let me see," Syaoran trailed kisses around her collarbone.

Fujitaka grasped a pointed wood from a tree bark, hoping he could hit Yue. Nadeshiko was on his side. "Honey, please stay away from here. If something bad happens…" he paused.
"No, I'll go with you…" she interjected.
"Touya and Sakura… They need you. I'll take care of this twerp."
"I can't…" she cried softly.
"Please! Go now!" he pushed his wife away from him. "I'll always love you, Nadeshiko…"
Yue saw them and tried to get Nadeshiko but Fujitaka blocked his way. "You reigned the Dark Realm for more than six millennium. That's an incredible term of kingship" he said with a fake smile. "It's surprising that the vamps didn't make an attempt to be against your leadership" Yue smirked making Fujitaka frustrated. "What do you think you have done to your damn monarchy?"
"I made the rules, you see. I also built the La Vampiere for vamps to educate some… Anyway," the king eyed Yue. "My rules aren't the point here! I want to know about your plans. Are you here to bring disaster to humanity?"
"I'll rebuild the city of Sarcoz. And I am here to get the book in order to resurrect my men whose souls are imprisoned at the sealed chamber!" Yue replied.
"You shall not resurrect them! Your soldiers were punished due to their breaking of my laws!" Fujitaka scowled. "The outcome of your plans is dangerous to humans"
"Foolishness! Our nature is to enjoy killing humans!" Yue interjected. "Every vampire in this Dark Realm originated from my blood! Keep that on mind! I am one of the cardinal vampires therefore my descendants shall be identical for what I used to do"
The king smirked. "Yue, you actually don't know what you're talking about. The reason why I banned the too much feeding on humans is to make it evenly distributed. We feed everyday with different people and limited blood volume. Why can't you just think of it?" he asked trying to change Yue's mind. "Just imagine what will happen if there would be less humans… There would be famine to us because of imbalance."
"I don't mind," was Yue's brief respond.
"What?"
"Domination… is what I want." Yue is really out of his mind. "Food imbalance is not a problem."
"You're insane! Please listen to me!"
"Cloning is the solution for that problem. A sample of human cell can bring dozens of clones. Thus, infinite cloning of humans means infinite blood supply" was Yue's statement.
Fujitaka was silent. "When did he had the idea of cloning? This shit is a little keen thinker sometimes. Still, it's a bad idea." He lifted the sharp wood and aimed at Yue. "I won't let it happen, bastard! I'll kill you."
Yue smirked. "Haha! Go and try!" he flew backwards to prepare his attack.

Syaoran drew Sakura slowly up his body until her breasts tipped his mouth, his tongue glancing off the peaks. Sakura was ready, eager for the weight of him on her. "No more play, princess…" he was about to remove Sakura's undies when…
"Wait… I…" Sakura said worriedly. An aura swept through her half naked body. "No way…" She felt something seriously bad.
"What's the matter?"
"My father…"
"What?" Syaoran was interrupted by this.
"He's in danger…"
"Oh c'mon, princess. Not at this moment…" he pleaded. "I mean…"
Sakura quickly rolled out from bed and got dressed, leaving Syaoran frustrated. "I'm so sorry Syaoran. We can do this anytime but not now…" the bad aura was bugging her. "My father is in danger and I'm sure of it"
"It doesn't feel good stopping like this. It's hurting me…" Syaoran begged her to come back into his arms. No good. "Wherever you'll be going, I'll go with you…" he said, the blanket covering his lower body.
The doorbell rang. "No, I'll go by myself. Hey! It's the pizza delivery. You can handle it for the meantime." Sakura said. "I'll be heading to the Tower of Realm…"
"Where is that place?"
"It's a few kilometers from here, northwest of Aegis. However, it's not in the human map. It's located at the LBKL."
"Huh?"
"Legendary Book of King Lacudra. Yamazaki-kun had the book. Damn! I gotta go now. Bye!" She pulled up the window and jumped out.
Syaoran sighed desperately. "Shoot! That was close… damn it! What a wrong timing. Anyway, chances are still there." Another ring was heard. "Oh! Right! The pizza!"
- - -
But before Fujitaka could move closer, Yue's bat wings spread and its sharp pointed tip struck Fujitaka's lower abdomen. "Shoot! He got me!" he dropped the pointed bark on the ground. The flames were still blazing and Fukitaka saw Yue's cold silver eyes. "Darn you, Yue. Why do you have to live or the second time?" Yue's right wing hung Fujitaka in the air using its sharp end. Even though the king is a lamia, he could still feel the pain trusted within his abdomen.
"Perhaps, I was destined to live for a second chance. And living for the second time means ruling the Dark Realm for the second time. Not only Dark Realm but the whole humanity! I'll dominate this human world and rebuild my lost empire!" Yue laughed crazily as he deepened the talon-like wing to the exhausted king's abdomen. "Die…" he lifted him up on the cliff.

When Touya was about to enter their mansion, he heard a familiar voice. "Touya…" came a weak voice.
"Huh?" he saw a wounded lady and she's no other than his mother. "Mom! You're injured! Who did this?" He helped his mother get inside their home. Laying her in the sofa, he began asking questions. "Where is father? Is this all about Yue?"
"Exactly, your father and I were heading to the Tower of Realm to talk to the chief vampires. And all of a sudden, Yue obstructed us. He attacked us and I am worried to your father for confronting Yue." She explained. "It will be impossible to your dad to defeat Yue."
"Alright, take a rest, mom. Your wounds will take hours to heal. Let me kill Yue first before he hurts others or my sister."
"Your sister… is she doing fine?"
"I think so…" he got up.
"Before you leave, I want to tell you that it will be hard for you to kill Yue" Nadeshiko uttered. "Yue possessed Yukito's body."
Touya's eyes narrowed. "What?"
- - -
"Yue… You won't succeed," Fujitaka coughed with blood. "The prophecy is true… All you have to do is wait for the two warriors to extinguish you."
"Oh, how brave you are, king Fujitaka. It won't happen. I would've crushed their necks before they could've swing their swords against me."
"Mark my words, old fellow…" he watched Yue's other wing talon as it hovered above him, ready to finish him. "I believe that if there's sacrifice, there is always victory…"
"Dad!!! Noooo!" Sakura speeded up. "Stop it!" tears were falling down her cheeks.
"Sakura…" Fujitaka smiled weakly.
Yue turned to see the beautiful princess running. "The future queen…" he smirked. "You're too late to save your pathetic father" with those words he made his final strike, immediately killing his hooked victim. The other pointed wing plunged through his chest, striking the beating heart. "Finally, you're finished." He let the king's body fall on the cliff.
Sakura couldn't do anything but watch her dad fall from the cliff. "Dad!!!…" a motorcycle blocked and Touya tapped her. "Onni-chan… He's gone…" she sobbed against her chest.
"Yue will pay for this. Get in the motorcycle, Sakura…" Touya stared at the ending solar eclipse then to Yue. "Yuki! Can you hear me?" he called. "Yuki!" he repeated. "Don't let that jerk possess you!"
Yue was just laughing out loud. "Your best friend can't hear you. I already own his body. Yukito's soul must be eating dust now." He said and noticed the eclipse getting smaller. "Hmm… I'll spare your lives for now. I think I should resume tonight."
Little by little, the eclipse was gone and Yue immediately flew away. "Yue is strong in moonlight, but damn weak by sunlight. Does it make sense?"
Sakura was speechless, still hurt by the death of the king of Dark Realm.
"Now I know how to end this dilemma…" Touya said as he escorted his sister on their way home. "We must seek Yue's hideout at sunrise."

Syaoran greeted the delivery boy with a lame voice. "I'm hungry…" was his greeting.
"Good morning, sir. We've arrived at less than an hour!" Syaoran stared at the pizza box blankly. "Lately I saw a girl jumped out from the window. I hope she's okay."
Syaoran smiled. "Oh! My girlfriend, she's really fine. Don't worry..."
"Okay, place that pizza on the kitchen table," Syaoran instructed, controlling his hunger for something else. He watched the delivery boy's neck and reacted weirdly. "The pizza looks yummy but… I want something more… yummy… a quenching food…" he thought dizzily, feeling his harsh breathing. "Darn… is it exactly what I need?"
The capped boy did so and went to Syaoran to ask for the payment. "It's two hundred and forty five Azels(money unit), sir" Syaoran remained still, not making a single move. "Sir? You're having difficulty of breathing," he examined. "Oh! I see you're asthmatic! Have you taken your medicines already?"
Syaoran's orbs went silver, his curved fangs emerging. "Sorry, pal. I think I should really taken my medicine," he pounced to his prey but his first attempt failed, leaving a scar on the boy's throat.
"Whoah! You're a vampire? I dreamed to see a vampire in person!" he mocked him, stepping backwards from the predator. "Hey! Somebody help me!" he yelled at the top of his voice.
"You shut up!" Syaoran pounded on top of him.
"Stop it, Syaoran!" the delivery boy shouted with fear as Syaoran's fangs grazed his neck.
Syaoran was surprised. "What the…"
"It's me!" he removed his cap to reveal his face.
"Yamazaki-kun?"
"Oh yeah! That's me, alright!" Syaoran was still on top of him and was embarrassed of what he did to his best friend.
Syaoran didn't know how to start this. "Yamazaki, listen… I… about this… I am like this because…" he stuttered, his fangs slowly retracted. He returned as a human form. "I discovered that my family tree is… kinda… scary…"
Eventually, someone came in. It's the street's guard. "Any problems here?" he asked with a muscular tone. "I heard yelling voice. What's this all about?"
Yamazaki whispered to Syaoran. "Now, here's your chance. Hypnotize that freak and drain his viscid blood."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. Turn around first. I don't want you to see me do this," he blushed.
"As you wish, vampire kid…" Yamazaki turned around and faced on the large mirror hanging on a wall so he could still see his best friend's nasty doings. "Who would have thought that the Vermillion Institute's heartthrob has a blood sucker blood line?" he thought crazily.
Syaoran will do the trick for the first time. "Hypnotism? Can I really do that?" he thought. "Fix my eyes on the victim's eyes…" he did it. And no effect. "It's not working!" he said aloud.
"Fool! How can you hypnotize him if you are in your normal form? Do I have to instruct you to change in vampire mode?" Yamazaki yelled facing the mirror.
Syaoran sweatdropped. "Right! I forgot! Sorry!"
"You guys are going to hypnotize me? How cruel you are?" the guard said angrily.
"We're just practicing for a play, sir," Yamazaki said with a confident smile.
All of a sudden, Syaoran changed into a hunter mode. He focused his glare on the guard infront of him. One second, two seconds, three seconds… No effect. Four more seconds, five more seconds until ten seconds… Still… No effect. "Something went wrong." He became dizzy as if he was inflicted by his own trick.
The guard was horrified by Syaoran's appearance and he fainted.
"You did it, pal!" Yamazaki said cheerfully. Then, an image appeared on the mirror making Yamazaki jump back. It was a brown-haired man with piercing armor, an armor designed for millions of years ago. There was a tattoo on his right cheek, a symmetrical cross identical to the logo of La Vampiere.
Syaoran fell on his knees. "No, someone else is doing that trick… " he turned around and saw the man on the mirror. "You did this…" he said to the man. "Who are you?"
The tattooed faced man introduced himself as, "…Roan" he answered. "One of the cardinal vampires a.k.a. the fierce knight…"
