An Obsession with sex
Chapter 11: Lost and broken love
It had almost been a full two weeks now that Tohru lie in bed at the Sohma Estate. Everyone could tell Akito was enjoying this. She didn't seem to be in as much pain as usual. Her shrieks at night would slowly fade to soft groans. Her turning was happening faster than Hatori had ever seen.
The Sohma boys took turns watching her in the bed in Hatori's office. She was her normal self again. Sweet and innocent…well for the most part. Yuki was proud of her. She had cut off all ties with Hard Candy, or so he thought.
Tohru's eyes blinked open drowsily. Her surroundings looked hazed over and fuzzy. She could only make out the colors of things. "Hey, you're awake." Came a soft, velvet voice.
"Yuki-kun?" She called as she blinked a few more times. Finally, she was able to see more clearly.
"Yes, it's me." She felt his slender fingers run through her sweaty hair. She had to of looked horrible. Tohru couldn't even remember the last time she bathed. As Yuki moved her hair back, it slowly fell behind her neck and his gums ached. The scent of her blood was more potent and almost impossible to bare.
He quickly whisked his hand away from her. His sudden reaction made the girl flinch. "Yuki-kun are you okay?" Beads of sweat rolled down his body. He was on fire. It had been so long since he'd had a reaction like this before. Actually, the only time he ever felt like this was when he fed for the first time. His body shivered and he immediately stood and began to walk out of the room.
Tohru shot up, noticing he was leaving her. "Yuki-kun wait!" she begged. Yuki did as asked and he froze. His amethyst eyes glanced at her.
"I'm sorry Tohru…but I have to go." Yuki slid open the door and rushed out, slamming it closed behind him. Kyo had fallen asleep on the floor outside the room and the noise woke him up abruptly. He shot up.
"What happened? Is she okay?" Kyo asked a little frantic. Yuki eyed him cautiously.
"Kyo…don't you dare go in there." Yuki threatened. Kyo was taken aback.
"Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?!" Kyo put his hand on the door and began to slide it open, Yuki caught Kyo's hand with his own and pushed it back, the bones snapping.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" Kyo demanded an explanation as he gripped his broken wrist. Of course it didn't hurt. His bones were healing as they spoke.
"Because Tohru's changing, her blood is way more intoxicating than usual. I had to leave before something bad happened." Yuki felt ashamed of himself, not being able to control himself shows weakness. Which he just so happened to point out for his ruthless cousin.
"That's the difference between you and I." Kyo began. "Unlike you, I know how to control an urge." Kyo knocked Yuki to the far wall and slid open the door. Yuki watched as his orange-haired cousin breathed in the sweet aroma that filled the room.
"Kyo-kun." Tohru smiled. But it faded all too soon. Her eyes widened in fear, she knew that look he had all too well. The whites of his eyes disappeared, along with his pupils, they were completely enveloped with red. "Kyo-kun…no snap out of it please!" Tohru begged and begged. Kyo just smirked, the sound of her pleas was like angels singing in his ears.
Tohru cowered on her bed as he sauntered over to her. "Mmm…Tohru." Kyo sniffed in the scent. "You smell so delicious." He took another step but suddenly was cut off by Haru and Yuki. Both had their arms spread out, making a barrier.
"Yuki-kun, Haru-kun!" Tohru smiled. Yuki smiled back, reassuring her. Haru just smirked. His own transformation suddenly completing itself. His nails grew into long, sharp claws and his wings flapped out from his back.
"Haru, be careful. Keep that lemon juice in your nose." Yuki demanded. It took only half of a second for Kyo to rush towards Haru and punch him in the face, knocking him backwards.
Haru jumped up, almost as if he had never gotten hit. He decided to retaliate and dashed at his cousin. Soon, they were in a full out brawl. Tohru's eyes were able to keep up with their speed! She noticed every move, every breath they took. She was amazed at their speed, but even more dazzled that she was able to watch it.
She jumped out of the bed, surprising all three boys. They stopped to watch her. Her brown eyes slowly faded to a brilliant, electric green. They were suddenly mesmerized by her appearance. Tohru was a beautiful, elegant pale. Her brown hair lengthened to the low of her back and she walked with grace. As if she was gliding across water. She sashayed over to Kyo who was paralyzed like the others.
Her slender, pale fingers clenched his chin. He noticed her nails were long, and sharp. The tips of her claws cut into his tanned skin. The three boys watched in ecstasy as she breathed in Kyo's aroma.
Her eyes rolled back into her head and she lightly smiled. Her lips were a light purple but they still seemed lush and soft. Kyo wound his arms around her little waist.
"Kyo don't…" Haru stopped as he realized the lemon juice had dissipated and caught the whiff of Tohru. He sighed and suddenly tensed. Black Haru quickly grabbed Tohru's wrist. She released Kyo from her gaze, and her embrace. The orange-head held onto her though. "Kyo, why don't you go elsewhere. The adults are busy." He winked at his older cousin as Tohru's electric, emeralds traced Black Haru's figure.
"Adults? You've got to be friggen kidding me. You're younger than--" Kyo lost his breath as Tohru kissed his neck. Yuki watched with horror as Tohru and Kyo slid to the ground.
Black Haru scowled with disgust and jealousy. Kyo lost all control, his hands fell to the floor and he craned his head so Tohru had better access. Her finger tips stroked his throat, she could feel his heart race. "Kyo-kun…why aren't you stopping me?" Tohru finally spoke. Her voice was like silk. Haru and Yuki finally lost there composure and too, fell to the floor beside her.
"Tohru… Kyo's dirty, take me instead." Haru beseeched. She looked at him questioningly and then glanced at Yuki, who had said nothing. His eyes were the normal, amethyst color. His fangs weren't out and he looked like plain old Yuki.
Haru and Kyo waited for her decision with out much patience. They soon realized she was staring at Yuki. He sat there, stunned. His eyes gazing into hers. "Yuki-kun…I'm so confused." Tohru let go of Kyo and he pouted.
"What are you so confused about?" Yuki asked her. He swallowed hard. His yearning for her grew painful. His gums burned and not just that, his pants were growing tighter as well. Tohru glanced at Kyo and Haru.
"Kyo-kun….Haru-kun. Can I have a moment with Yuki-kun." She asked politely. They immediately frowned but did as asked. They changed back to normal suddenly and trudged from the room. Finally, they were alone. Tohru almost pounced onto Yuki the minute the door slid closed.
"Tohru stop." He gripped her shoulders before her body came in contact with his. "You're not ready." he sighed.
"Ready?" Tohru sat back down on her knees.
"You don't understand what you're feeling and…I know you'd hate yourself if you accidentally killed me." Her heart skipped a beat.
"I…can kill you?" Her eyes widened. Yuki grabbed her cold hand and interlaced their fingers.
"There's a certain amount of blood you can take from someone until they die. Usually we don't need that much blood to live and feel satisfied." Yuki sighed. "You must be very hungry."
"For…food?" Tohru asked, she felt nauseated about the idea of drinking someone's blood. He shook his head.
"Go look at yourself in the mirror."
"But…"
"That's a myth. We can see our reflections, don't worry." He laughed and Tohru joined in. Their fingers released and she glided to the mirror. Tohru gasped at her eyes and how pale she had become. "When a vampire is hungry or needs the blood they'll turn. Also, the changing will happen if you are badly injured or your emotions call for it."
"Emotions?" Her green eyes sparkled. Yuki blushed.
"We also turn when we are in pleasure or completely relaxed." Tohru's pale features lit up with a light shade of pink. "Or when we are frustrated or angry. On rare occasions it will happen when upset about something."
Tohru sighed. How am I ever going to tell Ako and Yuna that I'm…a vamp-" She stopped. Yuki placed his hands on her shoulders.
"You can't tell anyone under any circumstance you are a vampire. It'll take a while before you get used to all of this but it's not that bad."
"But Ako…she knows Haru-kun is a vampire." She now faced Yuki, their noses only an inch away. They blushed and turned their heads.
"I have to talk to Haru about that. I noticed Miss Takeshi has been really out of it lately. I think Haru has been letting himself get out of hand. See that can happen too."
"What?" Tohru asked befuddled.
"when you fall in love with someone like Haru and Ako have, you'll want to feel connected some way. Humans feel connected when their blood is being taken by said vampire." Tohru looked at him lost. "When Haru takes in Ako's blood she feels closer to him, they can see each others emotions and feelings. Their weaknesses and strengths."
"I get it. It's like Haru just had his first sip of sweet, red wine. And he enjoys the taste and feeling of nirvana that it gives him so much he doesn't know how to stop himself. And because the wine likes him too it doesn't want him to stop drinking it." She smiled. Finally, she had gone back to her usual appearance.
"Uh…sure I guess that sounds about right." Yuki scratched the back of his neck. "You want to try your first sip of wine?" Yuki asked.
"Um…I'm not sure. It sounds really…." Yuki grabbed her hand.
"It'll be okay, I'll be there with you." He smiled and she beamed back. "Let's get into some decent clothes first." She had still been wearing the patient gown.
"Good idea."
-- meanwhile--
Yuna sighed and walked up to the front door reluctantly. She glanced back at the sidewalk where Ako stood smiling and telling her to go ahead. Yuna sighed and hesitantly knocked on the door.
Ako put her thumb up and beamed. Yuna rolled her eyes. "Maybe they're not home. Let's go." She started down the porch steps but the small blue, haired girl stepped in front of her.
"Knock again. Louder this time so an actual human being can hear it." Ako demanded, a small puff of air blew out of her mouth and into the cold, dark night.
"Alright, alright. For a squirt you sure are pushy." The blonde wearily walked back to the taunting door and knocked, louder this time. With courage she knocked again. And again. Over and over she knocked.
"Alright god quit knocking I'm coming!" Yuna flinched at the sound of the masculine voice. His voice. The one sound she had missed so much, so long ago it seemed that same voice called her name.
"Ako don't leave me." tears formed in her eyes and Ako nodded her head and gripped Yuna's hand.
"I wouldn't think of it." The listened as the door's lock clicked and it swung open into the huge house. A boy, maybe a little older than Yuna stared at the girls in shock. He was paralyzed. His deep green eyes widened.
"Y…Yuna-chan?" She tensed at her grip tightened on Ako's hand.
"Uh yes, sorry for bothering you but I'm Ako Takeshi, Yuna's friend. We came for a visit." She smiled and the boy opened the screen door.
"Sorry, where are my manners please come on in."
"Thank you." She bowed and guided Yuna into the warm home. She was speechless as the boy took their coats and showed them to the living room. It was the same room where Yuna played and laughed.
Her heart started to ache as she realized none of it had changed. The furniture the old paintings, the antique piano, all of it was where had been when she had left.
"Please have a seat. Can I get you two something to drink?" Yuna shook out of her paralysis and realized the boy wasn't talking to them any more. It was a middle aged woman. Her eyes seemed swollen, her face tired and weary from worrying.
"I'm fine thank you. Yuna?" Ako asked. All eyes were on the blonde. She opened her mouth but quickly closed it again. "Yuna…do you want something to drink? Maybe something to warm up your frozen tongue?" Ako giggled.
"N…no thank you." Yuna looked at the floor.
"Alright then." The woman sat down on the couch across from them. The boy sat down as well. Another man walked in. The same age as the woman. A small girl and a teenage girl followed into the room and they all sat down or stood in front of Ako and Yuna.
"Wow, Yuna never told me she had so many family members." Ako took in every single face.
"My apologies Takeshi-san." The woman bowed.
"Please, call me Ako." She smiled and twirled a strand of her light blue curl around her finger.
"I'm Mio, Yuna's…mother. This is Tori, my husband." Ako stood up and bowed. "This little one is Suki." The woman pointed to the small girl who was clenching her bunny tightly. Her blonde hair was straight at the top and curled neatly at the bottom, just like Yuna's golden hair. "This is my smallest child, Yori." She pointed to the teenage girl. She had short blonde hair with black streaks that almost completely covered her head. Ako bowed and glanced at the handsome boy with deep green eyes.
"I'm Kiro Tenchi." The boy bowed and Ako's eyes shot open.
"Tenchi?" Ako asked and looked at Yuna. "Yuna…you're--"
"Where have you been all these years Yuna?!" Kiro suddenly got tense and yelled at her.
"Kiro-kun please. We all want to know but yelling at her isn't going to help anything." Tori calmed the boy down and they all sat, relaxed but their nerves a little out of whack.
Ako sat down next to Yuna who was shaking, tears at the brink of going over the edge. "Go on Yuna, it's okay, talk to them." She shook her blonde curls. "Yuna, look at them. They missed you too." She glanced up at their faces and Ako was right. They seemed more at ease, as if relief had taken over. Her mother and father's eyes teard and they let them spill over.
"I'm…I'm home." Yuna blushed and began to sob. "I'm home…mom, dad! Yori and Suki! I'm finally home!" Her sobs turned into laughs as they all took turns embracing her. Mio laughed loudly as she held her baby tight. Tori cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"welcome back honey." Many minutes passed by as they hugged and laughed, sharing each others tears. Ako smiled at the scene. But her heart soon ached with jealousy. If only her family was like this, it made her wonder why Yuna would leave this perfect family in the first place. They obviously loved her to death and missed her profusely.
Ako's thoughts were interrupted at the suddenly silence in the room. Yuna stared at the green eyed boy, the only one who hadn't ran to her for her touch. "Kiro-kun…" Yuna stepped closer to him but he shook his head.
Treacherous tears fell from his hurt eyes. "Don't even come near me." His voice was harsh and pained.
"Kiro she missed you just as much as you missed her. Welcome her back." Yori demanded. Her eyebrow's furrowing at his pained expression.
"It's okay Yori. I knew, at least one of you…couldn't forgive me." Yuna wiped the tear from her cheek. "Kiro-kun, I'm very sorry…I'm sorry to all of you." Yuna glanced at Ako and her blue-haired friend realized why she didn't want to come back, sure she didn't know exactly what happened but the main problem was this man here. "Can…we talk in private?" Yuna asked. Kiro shook his head and immediately the family, plus Ako removed themselves from the room.
"Wha--" Kiro looked at them as he watched his family disperse. He sat down on the couch reluctantly. Yuna stayed where she was. "Why…why did you leave me here?" His eyes stabbed her heart, they lost their joy she noticed, they didn't glow anymore.
"Kiro-kun…I--I had to get away." Yuna moved closer to him and sat down beside the broken boy.
"If only you would have let me explained!" His hands tightened into fists.
"I saw what I saw Kiro, and I didn't need an explanation." She placed her hands around his fist. "I don't blame you for my leaving, I would never blame my Kiro for anything."
"Then why did you leave?! Why believe that stupid bitch over me! I never would have cheated on you I love you!" His arms suddenly wrapped around her. Tears poured from her eyes, leaving wet trails on her cheeks.
"Kiro how I've longed to hear you say that." She pulled away and her hands cupped his cheeks. "I was confused…and hurt. Everything was falling and breaking in my life. I was a coward and tried to run away from it. I couldn't stand watching and waiting for it all to crumble to pieces."
He sighed and pressed his forehead against hers.
"And I died inside. I no longer felt you only…loved me. So, I ran away with out a word to you or my family…"
"and a year later you brought Suki and left again." His hands fisted. "You left me with her alone, it was our baby girl and you made it seem you wanted nothing to do with her and my life ever again."
"She's grown up so much!" Yuna sobbed. "I missed all of it, I missed her first birthday, her first word, when she started to walk and talk and play and laugh, I missed all of it!"
"She's four now. She knows who you are Yuna. We told her stories and showed her pictures of you. She's always wanted to meet her mom." Yuna just fell apart, her sobs grew louder and she embraced Kiro with a death grip.
"I'm so sorry Kiro! I wish I had never left! Life didn't get better it just got worse!" Kiro saw out of his eye the family was listening on the steps. And he saw Suki, holding her bunny as she listened to her mom's cries. "I went and searched for love, but it was fake it wasn't anything like this!"
"Yuna…you--" He was shocked as he looked into her ashamed eyes.
"I want…I want this love always, and forever!" Yuna sobbed. Suki ran into the living room and jumped into Yuna's arms.
"I will wuv you wif all my heart mommy!" The little girl dropped her bunny and wrapped her small, arms around Yuna's neck. "I want to be wif mommy foreber and eber! Just me, mommy, and daddy!" Ako eyes poured. This was Yuna's life. She was married and had a baby with the man she loved. And she threw it away and instead had sex with all those strangers. Ako realized how much it must have hurt Yuna to pretend to enjoy it.
"And don't forget us either." Yori walked over to her older sister and played with her hair. "I love you too, and it's real." Mio and Tori followed into the room and exchanged kisses with Yuna. Her family was better, and Yuna was healed.
Ako grabbed her jacket and opened the door. Yuna jumped up and ran to her. "Ako wait!" She stopped at the foot of the porch steps and turned back.
"I'll miss you girl. I love you too, and I will always have a place for you in my heart." tears streamed down Ako's face.
"Ako…I--" Yuna stepped out into the cold. Ako shook her head.
"No, I hate good-byes." Ako turned and strutted down the sidewalk.
"I love you Ako! And you and Tohru better visit me!" Yuna yelled out into the darkness, but there was no answer.
Ako's heart pained as she started to lose her sight. Everything was becoming blurry and she fell to the cold ground. Tears poured from her eyes as she sobbed….
Did you guys like it? It actually turned out to be more about Yuna reuniting with her family which was totally unexpected, even I wasn't think about it until it happened. I actually was very sad at the part when she was finally back at her home I almost cried for some reason, any way please R&R!!!!
