He approached the bed where Yuuki was still slumbering and climbed over her, resting lightly on her hips. With an indiscernible expression, he took her left hand in his and brought it to his mouth. He bit down hard.
Yuuki Kuran's eyes flew open and she yelped in pain. "Ahhhh."
Kaname did not release his grip on her hand, but bit down harder, releasing a flow of blood all over her already bloodied nightgown. "Ahhhhhh, Kaname-sen…aaaaaahh."
He took his teeth out of her skin, moved up to her wrist and bit down again. He held her other arm tight and had pinned her down with his body. She was helpless.
"Ahh. What are you doing?" Yuuki Kuran cried out, struggling against his weight as tears sprung to her eyes from the pain.
He released her again, moved another few inches up her arm and repeated the bite, leaving a trail of marks down her arm.
"Kaname, please, stop. please. Are you thirsty? What's going on?"
He didn't listen to her and made his way up her arm in this fashion, leaving around a dozen severe bite marks.
Tears were streaming down her face now in the pain and confusion that she now was experiencing. She whimpered quietly as he continued the ritual all the way up her arm until he reached her collarbone. He brushed the shoulder of her nightgown away and bit into the tender area right above her breast.
Yuuki's face winced in pain, but she felt drops of liquid sprinkle her chest. His fangs were still pierced in her, so it wasn't her blood that she felt dripping onto her skin. She felt Kaname loosen his grip on her other wrist and so she brought both her hands slowly towards the head buried in her bosom. She cupped his cheeks in her hand and felt his fangs retract from her skin. She brought his face up to look at her.
Tears streaked down his face as he looked at her. Kaname was crying.
"What happened?" She had never seen him cry before. She didn't think that he had ever cried before in his life.
He buried his face back in her chest and mumbled, "I'm sorry." He licked the wound, that he had just made, closed. A shiver went down her spine when he did that. He returned down her arm healing the wounds he had made with his tongue and planted kisses as he did so. As the last bite mark on her hand was healed, she brought his face up towards hers again and kissed his cheek. She licked the tears that still streamed down his face gently and held his face there, with their foreheads touching.
"What happened?" she repeated in a quiet tone.
"A hunter came into your room today while you were sleeping. He was holding an anti-vampire weapon. A knife."
Yuuki froze and her eyes widened in fear. Kaname heard her heart beat slightly faster. "Where is he now?"
"Dead."
"Did you…?" Yuuki started.
He broke from her gaze and rested his head on her collarbone again. "I blacked out, I couldn't control myself. I should've kept him alive to see who sent him." Kaname sighed a deep sigh. "I'm supposed to protect you. What would I do if.. I couldn't live if you.." Kaname sighed again. Yuuki felt droplets of water on her skin again.
"Hey.." She lifted his face up to meet her gaze again. She wiped the remaining tear from his face and kissed his forehead. "I'm okay. I'm alive, I'm here with you. Don't beat yourself up over something that could've happened. You saved my life." She looked him in the eyes again with a different expression. She really loved this man. And she owed him so much. "I'm okay," she reassured him.
"Okay," he repeated, as if to remind himself that she was. "Okay." He turned his face so that his cheek and ear rested on her chest. He felt her heartbeat. She's okay. She's alive. She's okay.
Yuuki heard him sigh once more and relax with his head on her heart. She cradled his head in her arms, stroking his hair back and forth in order to calm him down. She felt him drift into sleep in her protective embrace. When she was sure he was asleep, she whispered.
"Oh, Kuran, you're an idiot. How could anyone ever hurt me, if you're stalking me half the time."
