Sakura's Point of View
Lately I've been having these fantasies of mine in my sleep. I'm with Li. That's all there is to them. I'm always with him. One that I'm very fond of I dreamed the day before his birthday celebration. The same one I am dreaming now.
I never know where we are exactly. But I'm in a bed sleeping peacefully while he is beside me in a chair his head on the sheets of the bed. I wake up in a dark room with only a lamp on the bed side. I look down at him and watch him as he breaths softly in his sleep. My hand plays with his already disheveled hair. Then I lower myself so our heads are level. He mummers something but I can never seem to make out what it is. I wait for a minute to see if he will wake up. He never does. So I continue and with my lips quivering in anticipation I place a soft kiss on his lips. But before I get startled or flustered or he notices what I've done, I wake up out of my sleep.
Just like right now. My eyes slowly open to the darkness of the room. I stayed in the bed in the same position wondering, what had happened the night before. Then images come into my mind and immediately I wish I had not thought about it. I had been attacked by a drunk Pure Blood. Terrifying wouldn't even begin to describe the experience. And somehow my nose still remembers the scent of the man. He had also bitten me. More than once he bit and bit me as if I was some piece of meat. Li had come and saved me after I had screamed his name. My face warmed at the thought of my cheek against his firm chest. Afterward he had told me something that made my whole body feel like it was on a cloud despite the slight pain I still felt. I was important to him. Yet still, still he left me in my confusion as to why. He wouldn't answer that question last night and I'm afraid of even hearing the answer now. Still I wouldn't have hesitated if he had wanted my blood. That was a fact that wouldn't change no matter what he tells me.
I finally sat up and looked around the room. I stared at the spot where he had cornered me then at the balcony where he had saved me. But then my eyes slowly wandered to the edge of the bed. I saw something kind of hairy. My skin was suddenly covered in goose bumps. I hope it wasn't what I think it was. So slowly I lifted my bare legs off the bed and onto the floor. There was no tail, I sighed in relief. My curiosity was tickled now. If it wasn't a rodent then what was it? As I glanced down I finally recognized what it was. Li was sitting at my bed side, his head on one arm sleeping soundly. His face had the same expression as the first time I had seen him playing the grand piano, calm, serene, happy. My heart stopped for a moment then started back up. It happened once, twice, three times. He breathed through his nose and his lips remained in a thin line. My throat got dry and I swallowed a couple of times to moisten it. He was asleep right? I could do this, he was asleep so he wouldn't notice...right? I took a deep breath and knelled down in front of him. I stared at his calm face for a moment then breathed in deeply again. He was asleep so he won't know. I kept telling myself, he won't notice, he won't notice, he won't notice.
"Sakura..." He breathed out my name in his sleep. I was startled thinking he had woken up but he was still asleep.
"You said my name." I said my cheeks flaming. He had said my name in his dream. Was he dreaming about me?
I took another deep breath and came a little closer to him. I lifted my hand, then hesitated looking at his face making sure he wasn't awake. Then slowly I put my fingers through his hair. My fingers got tangled while twirling the locks of soft hair. Amazing, I thought. How could any boy keep their hair this silky and soft? But my hand didn't stay there for long, it slid down to his cheek and my thumb rubbed circles in the center of it. I had never touched him this way before, would he be angry if he discovered me? Then my eyes locked with his lips. My hand feel back to my side. I pressed both of them on the floor and let my upper body lean into him a bit. I tilted my head to the side so our noses wouldn't touch. Before I got closer I looked at his closed eyelids then the rest of his face. I really couldn't wait anymore. He's asleep so he won't notice. I said in my mind. He won't notice, he won't notice. I told myself as I pressed my lips gently down on his. He won't notice. He won't notice. I kept them there for a while then moved away from him. His face hadn't changed, he was still asleep. But I felt my whole face burning. I knew that it was red. I touched my lips softly, hesitantly, but I rested two of my fingers on them. I looked at his calm face and rubbed my lips. He won't notice...
"X..." I swallowed again. "Xiao..." I breathed out. "Lang..." I said his name. But he couldn't hear me, nor would he know of what I did.
Without even realizing it I ran out of the room and closed the door behind me, hopping that I had done it softly as to not wake him. I stayed there for a moment, my back pressed against the door. My fingers hadn't left my lips. My heart hadn't slowed down either. I was...excited and elated that I had finally shared something so intimate with him.
I heard a little rustling behind the door and quickly dashed to the other end of the hall. I didn't stop there, if he found me I would have no idea what to say to him right now so I continued to walk and walk and walk. As I kept walking I started to notice things that the night before I couldn't even think about. The mansion although large and extravagant was very simply decorated. There was white and brown here and there. Some portraits of people or scenery littered the halls not close enough to be overwhelmed by the, The rug was a nice light cream and spotless. Everything was just quaint. Nothing from what I expected from vampires. Especially not...him. Its now that I realize this but, I don't know much about him at all. I have no idea of his family, his hobbies, his likes or dislikes, nothing. I just stole a kiss from someone I know nothing about. But that still didn't change the fact that I had dared to even get that close to him.
"What do I know about him anyways..." I mused to myself walking aimlessly through the halls. "Well, he's a narcissist, a sadist, he hates half-breeds, he's cocky, ignorant, idiotic, annoying, a narcissist, petty, a narcissist, he makes me mad, a flirt..." I looked up at the white ceiling before choosing one more definition for him. "A narcissist, how many times have I even said that? Oh it doesn't matter because he is one!" I sighed thinking about how he''d flirted with that other girl last night then told me I'm just a possession. Then he has the audacity to give me that confident, I-win look! What do I even see in him!
"Excuse me." A girl's voice said from behind me. I turned around and found a maid carrying a basket of cloths. She looked at me up then down then wouldn't look at my face.
"Oh, sorry" I said stepping out of her way. She gave me an insignificant look then passed by, without even a thank you. Then it hit me, she was most likely a vampire. Though she didn't smell the same as the others, she was just...a normal smelling one like Suki.
"Could you move out of my way?" Another one said carrying plates and cups on a dirty tray. I stepped aside but as the last one, she didn't pass. She looked at me for a good second. "The festivities are over so I would kindly suggest that you leave this house." She said a nasty look on her face. "And a shower is in order for you as well, Miss." She finished passing me. I blushed in embarrassment, I know I didn't smell that bad.
"You don't have to be so rude!" I said before she could completely disappear from my site. "You don't treat guests that way."
"Oh, since when are you a guest." She replied looking back at me. "The last time I checked you might have been sleeping in the balcony or in the living room. For all I know you might have gone whoring around in our Master Xiao Lang's room!" She accused stepping closer to me. I kept silent. All that wasn't necessary. But my silence was misunderstood and she spit at my feet. "As I thought, whoring around with our Master. Filthy half-breeds." She murmured.
"I wasn't doing that!" I retorted trying my best not to let my voice quiver. "I wasn't doing that with him."
"What was that?" She said obviously not hearing what I had said. Before I was able to reply a woman loomed over her. Her hair was in a high pony tail and she wore a short skirt and a nice ruffled white blouse. Her facial features very displeased. She took her by the ear and twisted it painfully.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Mistress Femi that hurts!" She shouted dropping the tray.
"Those words shouldn't have come out of your mouth, little girl." She said pulling her ear up. I couldn't say I felt sorry for her. "Your just a regular vampire maid working in our house. You should get back to work."
"Yes, Yes, Mistress but my ear!" She cried tears finally rolling down her cheeks.
"And make sure to clean up your spit from off this carpet, do you understand me?" The women said yanking her ear a little more.
"Y-Yes!"The girl shouted. The women nodded pleased.
"Good." She said letting the girl go. She quickly picked up the tray full of dirty dishes and without even a glance at me she rushed down the hall. The women looked at me, her eyes locking with mine. I was startled for a second, she had the same eyes as him.
"Uh...ummm..." I stuttered trying to find my words. The women broke into a big smile and came over to me to pat my head.
"Hello there." She said in a much friendlier tone than before. "Sorry about her, she's new and most of our maids don't take kindly to overnight guests, gives them more work." I laughed at this and she patted my head once more. "You smell like Xiao Lang though. Where you two really..." She trailed off but I didn't quite understand what she meant so I just stared at her with a blank expression. "You know...did you two actually..." She said trying to jog my memory. Then I understood.
"NO!" I shouted more forceful than I had intended. Him and I doing...doing that? My face was really hot know and I couldn't stand it. I felt my body go limp and about to drop.
"Hey now! Don't faint! Wait do you have a fever?" She asked frantically checking my temperature. "Your burning up, hey! Are you alright?" My eyes opened and found her face. It was blurred.
"I'm alright." I whispered pushing myself off of her. She still persisted to hold my shoulders. "I'll be alright." I repeated. She gave out a small sigh of relief.
"Sorry, its just rare to have my little brother have a girl in his room, especially all night. Its a natural curiosity, do you blame me?" She asked. I stared at her for a moment hopping that she understood that I did blame her. She just looked sheepishly at me. "Sorry?" She asked. I shook my head. She was just like Tomoyo, maybe even worse.
"Xiao-"I stopped short before saying his full name. His sister gave me a surprised look then she arranged her face to look normal again. I chose not to linger on that. "Li-kun and I don't have that kind of relationship..." I finally said. My heart sunk a bit; some of the happiness I had acquired along with it.
"Oh, I see." She said sounding a bit sympathetic. That was the last thing I wanted to hear but whatever. "Oh! I'm sorry for being so rude, I'm Feimi Li, one of Xiao Lang's older sisters, and you are?"
"Kinomoto Sakura." I replied. Once again she looked surprised. What was with her?
"You mean, the Kinomoto Sakura?" She asked. I honestly couldn't do anything but stare at her.
"I don't know any other ones around." I replied sarcastically. She began to giggle and I had the sudden urge to roll my eyes. Seriously what was up with this women?
"I hope he doesn't do what Father asked him. You're too much of a jem." She said still giggling. I had no idea what she was talking about. "Such a perfect fit."
"Feimi!" A voice behind me shouted scaring the daylights out of me.
I turned to see none other than the man of the subject marching over to us. His suit in one hand and his white stained dress shirt on and unbuttoned. When I saw him my face immediately began to burn and I was rooted to my spot. Then was when I first realized that I was half naked. I only had on my under-ware and a tank top, not even socks. I was mortified. How long had I been walking around like this? Now he was here! But when he finally caught up to us he didn't even look at me. He stood beside me and draped his suit jacket on my head. He turned his head to the side and I saw his ears where a little red.
'You should not have left the room like that!' He whispered into my mind. It was only the second time that we were actually going to have a conversation like this.
'Its none of your concern! I'm just your possession remember? What do you care what I wear and where I wear it!'
This time he really did look at me. His large, amber eyes bore a hole in me. He backed me up against a wall just like the night before. Was he angry?
"It is my concern woman." He said under his breath.
"Oh really?" I responded still sarcastic. "Last night you didn't seem to mind. I'm just a possession. So its none of your business!" Now I was shouting completely angry at him. He had no right to come at me like that! Its not like I did it on purpose.
"You are not making any sense." He said as if to completely dismiss the topic trying to convince me that I was wrong. He must be out of his mind if I'm taking the blame for this.
"Making sense?" I cried even more hysterical. "Your joking right? First you sweet talk me in my mind telling me at the end that I'm just a god-damned possession to you," I shouted jabbing a finger into his chest. He stared at me almost indifferent which made me even angrier. "Then you dance with some Pure Blooded bimbo that you get upset at for trying to say stuff that pleases you. And yes I heard all of it! This communication thing is quite useful when your not paying attention. Then you tell me I'm important to you in the bedroom after I'm attacked by someone! Maybe not in chronological order but it all happened last night! Why should you even care how I dress? So what is it Xiao Lang, am I your possession or am I someone important? Pick which one damn it!" I stopped. My breathing was labored as I stared into his surprised eyes. Really that was it? "You know what forget it!" I slipped passed him and was about to go in the opposite direction when he suddenly caught my wrist.
"Enough of this foolishness. Listen to what I am saying." He said.
I stopped. Then I looked at him, I made sure that I looked him straight in the eye. Foolishness? Is this what he thought of all I had just said, just foolishness? This made me even more livid towards him. Without much warning on my part I slapped his arm as hard as I could. He released me rubbing his bright red arm. I gave him another cold gaze which originally was his specialty and walked away. I slid the suit that was on my head to my shoulders and wrapped it around me as I continued to walk.
Normal POV
Sakura's footsteps quickened when she felt him try to follow her. She wanted nothing to do with him at that moment. If what she said was foolishness...then now she was even more ashamed that she actually kissed such a jerk. He had began to follow her but stopped when she walked faster. Of course he got the message and would not force the issue. He wanted to punch the wall and curse to the air, why was she doing this to him? He should not care what she felt, how she left the room, he shouldn't care for her at all. And yet he did, he knew that fact wouldn't change, not for the life of him.
"Xiao Lang?" Feimi asked coming beside her brother. She put a hand on his shoulder as if to console him. He made eye contact with her as if asking why she was trying to comfort him. She only smiled in response. Then he said the most surprising thing to her.
"Thank you, Feimi." He said closing his eyes and putting a hand to his face. Feimi's eyes widened in shock, her brother had never said anything like that before. Then her surprise changed into happiness. She hugged her brother from behind, crossing her arms in front of his body. He didn't move.
"What for?" She asked.
"For..." He sighed. Then looked back to the hall where Sakura had vanished. "For stopping those insolent hand maids." He inhaled deeply. "I was asleep when all this occurred and could do nothing to protect her from hearing such words."
Feimi stared down at her brother. Those may have been the same words that he himself was speaking to that girl on a regular bases. It made no sense that this would bother him now. And what was this about protecting her? She couldn't understand what her brother was thinking, which was rare. Usually the only expression he had was a cold stare, as if nothing really mattered in the world. This was a first, now that she thought about it, he was changing the more he stayed in this town. Unfortunately her other brother, Eriol, was still the same. That made her very sad, she had hoped that what this town was doing for Xiao Lang it would do for him. Apparently she was wrong on that point.
"Feimi..." He said holding her arm. One thing hadn't changed though. As she thought about this she smiled. He was still her baby brother and he was still very dependent on her.
"Yes, what is it?" She asked. For a moment he didn't respond.
"I do not understand, what these feelings are." He said still staring down the hall. " I do not care to understand them at this moment. But when the time does come I will rely upon you again. As for now, I want to protect that girl. I want to know that she is alright with or without me. That is what I know right now and that is what I am going to follow through with." Now he turned around and faced his older sister, his cold expression that she was used to wasn't there, even though he was trying to put it up, "You are the only person who will know this, but, I vow to protect Sakura."
"Then, what about Father? What about what he ordered you to do?" She asked concerned.
"I never said that I would not fulfill my duty." He said turning away from her, preceding to walk away from her. "It is something I promised to Father. I will follow through with my promise."
Feimi was saddened to hear that. But her spirits where instantly lifted when he started to run down the hallway. Then she noticed something that had slipped by the three of them. That Sakura girl had addressed her brother informally and he didn't mind at all. She giggled to herself.
"Oh my, the bliss of being so young."
Sakura turned another corner in the large mansion. She looked to her left and to her right wondering which way she could go down now. But it really was no use, she knew she was hopelessly lost. How could a home be so large? Plus, she doubted they used all of the rooms here. She saw no point in having them all. The only reason she was lost was because of her irrationality and stupidity. If she hadn't been so angry at him she would have had a clear head. Her question was, why was she so mad? He was just a mean Pure Blooded prince who hated her kind. There was no reasoning behind her reactions when he approached, or when he protected her. That didn't make sense either. Why was he protecting her? Now that she really thought about it, for the times she had been in danger, he was always there to help her. It was odd.
"Kinomoto-san?" Someone called out to her. She looked up and stopped walking.
"Hiragizawa-san." She greeted him with a simple bow being careful to remain covered with the little clothing she had. "Good Morning."
"Is there any reason," He began looking down at her feet then to her head. He lingered in some places which left her uncomfortable. She wriggled slightly where she stood. "That you are nearly naked around the house?"
"Well..." This could hardly be called a house. "I actually woke up like this." She whispered. He stared at her eyes for a moment. Then his gaze flickered to his right.
"I see." Was his simple reply. A slight chill ran up her back. She didn't like the feeling she got from him. She didn't like it at all.
"W-Where's Tomoyo?" She asked making a point to stare at the floor. The corner of his lips curled a bit, she didn't consider it a smile.
"She is resting. Last night her ankle twisted so I set up a room for her to rest in. If I remember correctly one of our servants told me she was asleep."
"Oh...ok...thanks Hiragizawa..." She stammered. His eyes settled on her own again and she squirmed even more. What was with him?
Then out of nowhere a hand grabbed her arm. It pulled her back and someone stepped in front of her. Syaoran stood there staring at his brother as if he was a menace which once again she found odd. But he didn't let go of her.
"Li...let me go." Was her feeble attempt of getting free. But he either hadn't heard her or completely ignored her.
"Brother, is there a problem?" Eriol asked his brow arched up and a crooked little smile decorated his lips. In response his brother frowned.
"You have not changed." He replied tightening his grip on Sakura. "If I did not know better, for these months I would have thought differently."
"Does it honestly matter if I change or not." Eriol said then looked at Sakura behind his brothers back. "They are all easy, so why must I hold back or change after all these centuries?"
The brothers remained silent for a moment. Then Syaoran responded, "That is the reason you are the way you are now." He said sadly. Eriol's cool gaze suddenly became a cold stare.
"Do not mention her." He hissed from between his teeth. His azure eyes glared at his only brother so fiercely that Sakura was sure hell would freeze over between them. To make matters worse Li wasn't backing down.
"Umm...y-you guys..." She started but when no one answered her she decided to move from her current location. But Li held her arm even tighter to keep her in place.
Her little words attracted Eriol's attention. Even if his brother was blocking off his prey. Even her voice sounded innocent and pure. All defenses were down making her an easy target for anyone, human or vampire. This was what made his game all the more interesting. Before she could react Eriol had suddenly appeared beside her. She looked to her side but he was no longer there. Then he knelled in front of her. His eyes examining her now frightened face. He smiled gently but behind it was a wicked intention.
"Dear brother, you know better than anyone that once I'm interested," He licked his lips and his eyes changed from calm to hungry. "I will be relentless to get what I want." His hand reached up to caress Sakura's cheek. "Neh, Sa-ku-ra?" He said.
Sakura stood paralyzed to her spot. Was he always like this? If she remembered clearly he was a sweet gentleman when they had first met. But now, what had happened, was it all just an act? But after those quick thoughts she just couldn't think anymore. He had single handly taken over her mind and body with only his words and eyes. He scared her, more than Li had. A hand quickly drew her back. She gasped catching her breath as Li stepped away from his brother. Eriol only watched him shrugged then walked away in the opposite direction. He waved his hand in the air as if to say goodbye. Li didn't waste another second. He picked her up off the floor and sprinted to his room. He set her on the bed and threw some cloths at her.
"Put that on." He said leaning against a drawer. Watching her. "This is unfathomable. You left this room with nothing on but undergarments. What is wrong in that head of yours?"
Sakura responded by throwing the cloths he had given to her on the floor. She stood up and crossed her arms around her chest his suit jacket still on her shoulders. She clutched it around her.
"Why is it that you are so concerned about what I wear? Will you just leave me alone?" She said glaring at him.
"Are you going to refuse me again, woman?" He asked returning her glare.
"What the hell do you think I'm doing now?" She brought up her chin. "If I'm your precious little dog like you think how about you try to tame me? Because I make this clear now, its not going to happen. No way in hell."
For a moment there was only silence between them. Li's lips twitched into a lop sided smile as he continued to glare at her. She was challenging him. With her chin raised and her eyes fierce it was clear that her pride had risen and she meant what she said. Well if she wanted it that way, by now she should have guessed, he never backs down from anything.
"You still lack the ability to chose your words wisely." He murmured under his breath.
"Shut up, I don't want to hear anything from you." She said turning her back to him.
"Oh is that so," He whispered. For a moment she thought she imagined it but his voice, was dangerously close. Her fears came to reality when his breath tickled her ear. "You are just a mere half-breed, are you positive that you should be speaking to me in that manner?"
She couldn't give her response even if she wanted to. His warm breath still tortured her poor ear. Somehow his arms, muscled and strong, had a crushing grip around her waist. Since she showed no signs of moving, neither did he. Her lips trembled to try a allow words to come out and her cheeks burned brightly as if the sun itself was scorching her skin. Then what took the prize was her heart, it was beating like a humming bird's wings. She did her best to stop all of the reactions but she couldn't. If he read all those signs and came to a conclusion he would never let her live it down. But her situation only became worse by every passing second.
"Heh, you have not answered." He said holding her waist tighter and her heart soared into the sky. "Well then, I will do as I wish."
He moved them to the edge of the bed so the foot board would not get in his way. Then he turned her to face him and layed her on her back. She stared up at him her eyes wide in perfect confusion of her reaction to him. He placed both of his hands on her wrists and secured them to the bed while he still leaned over her. He was surprised that she had not given him a fight. His face, she thought, was so close to her own. She etched every detail of him into her mind and stored him in an archive that she would later revisit. He was just so handsome. When she realized her thoughts and what his wicked smile meant she immediately turned her face to the side to avoid eye contact with him. Her cheeks still a brightly colored red.
"Where is that fierce pride of yours now, Half-breed?" He said mockingly. But somehow his insults no longer affected her. They were nothing compared to what she had endured this morning.
"I have pride in my race, Xiao Lang." She murmured under her breath. He stared at her for a moment. His eyes burned with desire and passion that he had never known before. The way her lips formed as she said his name made him hunger. The way it sounded with her clear innocent voice sated the hunger and calmed his passion. What would he do with this woman?
"I-I do not remember giving you permission to use my name." He stammered. He cursed himself for showing weakness but it went unnoticed by the still blushing girl underneath him.
Girl.
He had never thought of her as a girl. A real girl that was neither human nor vampire. But just the simple word the defined her gender. He had never imagined that it would have such a meaning to him. She was only a girl. His mind wondered further. She would become a woman if this world allowed it. But as of now she was still a girl and what he was doing to her was something that could only be dreamed of with a woman. Even if he tried to portray a cold heart, he couldn't in any way take away any ounce of innocence she possessed.
"Does it even matter?" She whispered bringing him back to the present. "I'm just a god damned possession to you. You would much rather have a vampire of your own kind call you by your name." Was that jealousy he heard? "If I call you by your name or by something else,its not like..." She trailed of nearly in tears which once again took him by surprise.
'Its not like he will ever acknowledge me as something more than a possession, more than just a damned half-breed...'
It was apparent that she had forgotten that he could read her mind at will. He continued to stare down at her. His expression slowly changed. Her thoughts, were respectable to him. That is why his face held the feeling of melancholy. This girl was simply too much. He didn't think on his next actions for this very reason. Gently he lowered his head keeping the rest of his body off of her. Never once had she faced him since she turned her head. So lightly he placed a feathery kiss at the side of her lips. Then he trialed his kisses to her ear lobe. He paused and breathed in the scent of her.
"You," He began then paused. He let go of one of her wrists and pulled her chin to the side so she would face him. But her eyes were closed and little crystal tears slipped from underneath her eye lids.
'I'm so stupid! All he's going to do is call me pathetic again!'
'I will not do that.' He stated firmly.
Her eyes flew open and locked with his smoldering amber eyes. He caressed her cheek and stopped to tuck some hair behind her ear.
"Forgive me." He said slowly. "I have hurt you many times prior to this and I can not promise that I will not do it again." He paused watching her defeated expression become even more so. "You are not a possession to me. You are more than that but I do not know why. But...you are much too important to me."
Sakura inhaled a breath of air. Memories of the night prior flooded her mind. "You are much too important to me." He whispered his eyes closed.
"Is that true?" She asked eyes full of hope. "Tell me if that's really true." She demanded gripping the hand that was now on her cheek. He sighed and placed his forehead at the very spot his bloody kiss had been placed.
"It is the truth." He said then he glanced down at her half naked body. His hand trailed along the outline of her body. Making him feel the wonderful shape she had hidden from him until the night before. It lingered a little while on her thigh then came back up to her arm. He rested it there as if to make sure he did nothing else. "To you I can not lie, Princess." He whispered looking back into her eyes. "So this is why I will tell you the truth about how I feel." Suddenly he became angry. His eyebrows knitted together and his eyes burned with an uncontrollable fire that scared her deeply. "I despise my brother for seeing your body." He spat closing his eyes so his anger would not penetrate her further.
He stood up and walked away from her so he could breath. But most of all so he would not hurt her.
"My brother and that drunkard. I despise them both from the pit of my soul!" He said his voice rising through the ranks. Sakura had not gotten up from the bed as she still tried to recover from the anger that had seeped into her own body through him.
"My body," She whispered. She turned on her side and hugged herself tightly. He glanced back at her and saw that she was shaking.
"Princess?" He questioned. Then he realized his sheer stupidity. "Christ!" he cursed softly then immediately came next to her. She closed her eyes and she remembered the event of last night.
"I can still smell him." She whispered her shaking increased. "I can still feel him on me." The horror in her voice was undeniable. "I can-"
"Enough." He said. He sat on the bed and put one of his hands on her head. "That is quite enough."
"No. No its not. You don't understand." She shook her head. "More will do the same. Many more because of what I am, because of what I can do..." She shivered again. "The Crior is coming and so will the rest, I don't want to fight." She began to whimper. "Please, I don't want to hurt anyone and I don't want to be hurt." Her whimper became little sobs. "I'm scared and I don't know what to do..."
At a loss of what to say, he said the only thing that was true, the only thing that what make him feel useful to her, "I will protect you." He said patting her head. "I will stay by your side because you are mine."
"I-I'm not a child." She said trying to sound angry. He frowned a bit.
"I know." He responded.
She looked at him doubtful. Then she sat up, body still quivering she brushed her hair to the side and tilted her neck sideways. She felt it gingerly to where the previous vampire had bitten into her as if she was meat. She closed her eyes and breathed out.
"Then drink from me." She said. She knew his reply before it even left his lips.
"No." Her firmly stated looking away from him.
"Xiao Lang, please." She pleaded.
"My answer is final." He said unwavering.
"This is not for you!" She shouted at him. She stared at him with the green of her retina fading slowly. "You idoit! Do you know how I felt last night? It didn't happen as if me and that pure blood were lovers! He attacked me, damn it! I feel him still biting into me! And...and its the only way that you won't look at me as if I'm so inferior to you! I'm not resisting, you want my blood and I want to get rid of these sensations! So just get it over with!"
"No. I will not drink your blood." He wavered. "I will not drink it like this, while you are vulnerable." He looked to her half-naked body.
"God damn it, Xiao Lang your thirsty." She replied back. "I can see it in your eyes. The way you've been cautious around me. Its the same with your brother, he might just be acting like that because he's thirsty as well." She smiled sadly at him. "If you do this you'll alivate your thirst and my..."She stopped then lowered her eyelids. "My shame."
He looked at her. It was true he was thirsty. But she was broken. Not only from the attack but from previous things. His limbs would not listen to him as he laid her flat on her back, as he turned her head a little to the side and as he caressed her neck. He wanted this. His pure selfishness amazed him to no end. Then as he lowered his mouth and his fangs outstretched he stopped. He didn't bite her. He kissed her.
