Title: Bloodlust

Pairings/Characters: Jack/Ianto, Captain Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato, Gwen Williams

Warnings: Not sure at the moment, I'm betting for Fluff and Angst though Looks like some Smut too.

Summary: Here's my weird way of explaining this one: Ianto is bitten by an alien which slowly changes him. Can the Team stop the effects before it's too late?

Author Notes: …why do I always write it with the question at the end of the summary…it's like…dum dum dum!!!! I couldn't come up with a name for this story so I stole it from a TV show, so special thanks to them. Okay I'm done.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Torchwood, if I did, Ianto wouldn't be put in all these life or death situations, he'd be in my room. But I don't, sorry. I don't own the name of the story either, sorry guys.

Chapter Six – Blood

"Lock me up Jack, lock me up now!" Ianto shouted, trying to get his message through.

"Let's just see what Owen has to say." Jack's voice was quiet, feeling the pain that he knew the Welshman was going through.

Ianto grabbed him and pinned him to the wall strongly. Jack struggled against him but the younger man was too strong.

"Lock me up before I give you a reason to lock me up!"

"You aren't going to do anything Yan, I trust you."

"I don't trust myself. Lock me up!" Ianto pushed Jack back into the wall, earning a moan of pain.

"Ianto…stop." Jack murmured through what little air he had.

Ianto pulled away but stayed firm.

"Please Jack. Just until we're sure I'm alright." Ianto closed his eyes.

Jack watched him intently. Ianto's eyes stayed firmly shut. Jack put a comforting hand on his shoulder and Ianto shook away.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. I feel a bit faint."

Jack grabbed the Welshman as he fell. He lifted the younger man up, trying to rouse him but failing.

"Owen!" Jack yelled as loud as he could, not moving his gaze from the younger man's face, "Get the hell up here!"

Owen appeared in the doorway, breathing heavily from running up the stairs.

"What happened?"

"He said he felt faint and just keeled over."

Jack sat the still body of Ianto onto a chair, holding him firmly in place.

Jack had been pacing his office the whole time Owen had been looking over the younger man and had long since lost his patience.

"Is he okay?"

"He has all the signs of malnutrition. I would ask if he's eaten but I know he has, besides, this process hasn't been going for long enough."

"So, what are you saying?" Jack asked irritably.

"I'm saying that because of this change, he needs something in his body and fast. It's like you or me off food for days, we won't be able to take it just like he won't be able to take not having whatever it is that he's needing. Gwen and Tosh need to tell us what this thing is."

Jack looked down at the Welshman, carding a hand through his hair.

"There's something else." Jack sighed, wishing he didn't have to bring it up.

"Tell me. The more I know, the better." Owen urged when he saw the pained look on the older man's face.

"He wanted me to lock him up. He was scared that he'd hurt me, any of us."

Owen stared at Jack in thought before looking down at the younger man just the same, "I'm sorry but he might be right. We're running out of time. You can stay down there with him but it's probably best if you lock him in a cell for now."

Jack nodded, still running his hand through the Welshman's hair, "Fix this Owen. I'll put him in a cell in a minute, just fix this, please."

Owen nodded before leaving Jack with Ianto. Jack hugged Ianto to him, sniffling when he knew Owen was out of earshot.

"We will fix this Yan." He murmured before pulling away and kissing his cheek.

Owen sat in the Autopsy bay, looking for ways to fix what had happened to Ianto. Gwen and Tosh rushed over to him, flustered.

"What?" He asked, concerned.

"We took Ianto's advice and looked under 'V' for virus." Gwen began to explain.

Owen nodded and Tosh finished what Gwen had started, "Nothing was under 'V' for virus but there was something under 'V' for venom."

Owen's eyes widened, a smile ghosting over his features, "What did you find out?"

"It just says that it is a 'vampire like creature' and that they couldn't find a cure when they first saw it but that was back in the early eighteen hundreds. Surely there is a cure by now." Gwen smiled proudly.

"What else does it say?"

"It says, 'the bitten victim went through a fast transformation,' judging by this, I'd say you're right, Ianto's about half way."

"Ianto is suffering malnutrition, does it say anything about that?" Owen urged, feeling an incredible need to find the information.

"According to this, 'the victim craved blood and needed it for sustenance.' They refused to give the victim any…he didn't make it."

"Shit. We've got to tell Jack. So, it was under venom? I can fix venom." Owen grinned faintly.

I couldn't come up with a name for it!! ARGH!!! Don't worry, I'll get Ianto to name it, he's good with naming things. Reviews make me feel better about my shoddy writing skills haha.

Cheers,
