Chapter 4
Sho awoke abruptly to the sound of feet scuttering about on the ground. He stared at the alarm clock beside his bed.
"2 AM? Who's up at this time?" He mumbled, and got out of bed, and peered through the blinds.
It was difficult to see, but under the light of the streetlamp, he was able to see the figures of Luka and Kei as the left the house.
"Where in the world are they goin'?" Sho mumbled, and shook his head, before he flopped back down onto his bed, and was soon fast asleep again.
"Shoooooo!"
Sho cracked his eyes open as his mother's voice called to him from downstairs.
He grumbled under his breath, and closed his eyes again, thinking if he didn't reply, Miho would leave him alone.
How wrong he was. Miho barged straight in, and tore the sheets and cover from his body.
"Time to get up, lazy bones!" She said, with a big smile on her face.
"Leave me sleep. I beg you." Sho pleaded, and tried to grab the sheets back, but she held them out of his reach.
"I don't think so young man. We're going to go and watch a movie after breakfast. Luka and Kei have already gone to work, and Luka left us some spending money. There's a movie I wanna see. So hurry up and get your ass out of bed." Miho said, before she stomped out of his room.
Sho glared as he found she had taken his bed sheets with her, to insure he didn't go back to bed.
"Annoying woman!" He growled, but he dragged his ass out of bed. He had a shower and got changed, and went downstairs.
Miho smiled at him from the kitchen table. "I made eggs benedict. Eat up, then we're leaving." She said.
"You've never made Eggs Benedict before." He said, but he ate the food gratefully.
"Luka bought me a cookbook. I've been reading through it daily, and it's very interesting." She said, as she poured him a glass of juice from the pitcher that was on the table.
"Speaking of Luka. You said he and Kei go to work of a morning, right?" He asked and Miho nodded her head.
"At 2 in the morning?" Sho asked and she frowned, looking confused.
"2 in the morning? Why would you say that?" She wondered.
"Well, I was woken up by noises outside, and I looked and saw those two leaving the house at 2 AM." He told her and she giggled.
"It couldn't have been them. Maybe you were just dreaming and you think you saw them. Now, eat your breakfast. I'm going to get my bag." She said, and left.
"I sure as hell wasn't dreaming. Where the hell did they go at 2 AM?" He wondered, and went back to eating his food.
Sho cringed at his mother's choice of movie. They had arrived at the cinemas, and she picked out the most chicky-flicky thing she could find.
"The sisterhood of the travelling tshirt?" He read out the ticket label in horror.
"Don't knock it until you've watched it." She merely said, with a flip of her hair. Sho rolled his eyes.
"Do you want popcorn? I'm gonna get popcorn." She said, and hurried off to get some.
Sho waited for her when two girls came up to him, and started conversation.
"Are you alone? You can't be alone, a hot guy like you. Wanna watch a movie with us?" One asked him, and he blushed. Were these girls hitting on him?
"Uh...you see-" He was cut off as Miho returned, carrying a large bucket of popcorn.
"He's with me." She said, smiling sweetly at the girls. They girls both left, Sho hearing one mumble something about 'him having a girlfriend.'
"She's...She's not my girlfriend!" Sho said, causing Miho to laugh, the popcorn almost going everywhere.
"Come on, lets go see the movie." She said, and pulled him to the movie.
When the movie was over, Sho sat there, wishing he could get back his 2 hours.
"Why did I even watch that?" He said, as they walked out of the cinemas together.
"Because I wanted to see it." Miho said, and smiled happily.
Sho nodded his head. He loved seeing his mother happy, finally.
They were so engrossed with chatting, that they didn't notice the purse snatcher sneak up and grab Miho's bag off her arm, and run off with it.
"THIEF!" Miho screamed, and Sho was instantly after the thief, running as fast as he could after him.
"Sho, don't-!" Miho called out, but Sho had already vanished into some alleyways.
Passersby came to her assistance. "Do you have anyone to call?" One asked her.
"Call? That's right! My phone!" She said, and dug her phone out of her pocket.
Thank god it hadn't been in her bag. She dialled Luka's number.
Luka and Kei sat inside a darkened room. The windows were all painted black. No light shone in the room at all.
Kei looked up as Luka's phone started to ring. Luka picked up his phone at looked at the caller ID.
"It's Miho." Luka said, and he answered it.
"Oh, thank god!" Came Miho's voice. Luka put it onto speaker phone.
"What's happened?" He asked, sensing the worry in her voice.
"A bag snatcher ran off with my bag, and Sho..." She trailed off.
"Sho!" Kei spoke, and instantly stood up.
"Is Kei there too?" Miho asked, and Luka held up a hand to stop Kei from saying anything else.
"Yes. We're both in the office." Luka said, and Kei sighed, biting his lower lip in worry.
Miho told them everything, about the bag being stolen and how Sho had ran off after the thief.
"Alright. I'll see what I can do." Luka said, and ended the call.
Kei was on his feet, headed to the door. A hand grabbed his wrist, pulling him back harshly.
"I have to find Sho! He doesn't know his way around! What if he gets lost, or worse?" Kei said, panic evident in his eyes.
"If you go out now, you'll burn. And I'm pretty sure a pile of ashes isn't going to help anyone!" Luka said, and let go of Kei.
"I know. I'm just worried is all." Kei admitted, and he sat down on the sofa.
"You care about him." Luka said, and Kei nooded. Smiling, Luka ran his hand through Kei's hair.
"So my little fledgling has found someone he likes." Luka said, causing Kei to blush.
"Don't tease me." Kei said, snuggling up to Luka's side.
"Alright, I'll stop." Luka said, snickering softly.
"I wanna look for him as soon as the sun goes down." Kei said, and Luka nodded his head in agreement.
"Of course. But let us rest." Luka said, and the both of them rested in each other's arms.
Miho had gotten a taxi back to the house, and was sitting nervously at the kitchen table. Her phone rang, and she looked at the caller ID. It was Luka.
"Luka?" She asked, almost bursting into tears.
Luka informed her they were searching for Sho. "What about the police? I think I should call them." She said.
"No, don't get the police involved. Too much hassle." Luka said, before he ended the call.
Miho merely sighed, and placed her head in her hands.
Sho walked through alleyways all throughout the city, trying to find the scumbag who ran off with his mother's bag.
"Damn asshole, just wait till I get my hands on you." He mumbled, as he searched everywhere for the thief.
He walked and walked, until even Sho knew it was a lost cause. The guy was long gone. Sho looked up as the sky began to darken.
He decided to head home, but some thugs that came out of an alleyway had other plans.
"Money, now. Or it's your life." One said, waving a switch blade around.
Sho rolled his eyes. "What is it with this city? Does it lure scum like you?" He said, sarcastically.
The man with the switch blade grabbed a fistful of Sho's braids, and smirked.
"You should be careful how you speak to people. You might get hurt, kid." He said, before throwing Sho to the ground.
A broken bottle was on the ground, and made a cut in Sho's hand when he fell. Sho hissed in pain, and the thugs laughed.
"Let's go guys, this fool don't have no money." One said, and they left.
The cut in Sho's hand wasn't deep enough to reach the bone, but it was bleeding quite a bit.
He balled his hand into a fist to try and stop the bleeding. Ignoring the pain, he began to head back home.
As soon as the sun had set, both Kei and Luka emerged from their hideaway, and went into the city.
"How do we even expect to find him? He could be anywhere." Kei mentioned.
"Use your senses, Kei." Luka said, as he did the same, listening to various noises, trying to pick out Sho's heartbeat.
Kei tried to do what Luka said, but his abilities were no where near as polished as the older vampire's. He tried to concentrate on locating Sho's scent.
His eyes flashed golden, and Luka noticed the change in Kei.
"Kei? What is it?" Luka asked, noticing how Kei's eyes flashed golden.
"Blood. I smell blood. Lots of blood." Kei said, and licked over his lower lip as his fangs emerged.
Luka could smell it also. And the scent that accompanied it. "Sho..." He said, and was too slow to stop Kei from racing toward's the delicious scent.
Sho was walking through the alley that led to the train station, when a noise interrupted him. He turned around, and he noticed Kei, lurking in the entrance of the alleyway.
"Kei? What are you doing here? Did my mom call you?" He asked, and Kei walked towards him. He had a glazed look in his eyes.
Kei had followed the scent, maddened by the sweet delicious aroma. When he found the scent, he couldn't believe that he was staring at Sho. His eyes stared at the hand that had been dripping that delicious blood.
'What a waste.' He thought, and before he knew it, he was closing in on the handsome boy.
Sho almost gasped at the speed in which Kei moved towards him. "Kei?" He said, and winced as Kei shot out an ice cold hand, and grabbed his wrist.
"Sho..." Kei said, in a voice that seem thick with hunger for something. "You're bleeding."
"I know. I cut myself...on some broken glass." Sho told Kei, not realizing the danger he was in.
"It might get infected. Allow me...to help." Kei said, and Sho gasped as Kei raised his hand to his lips, and ran a pink tongue over the wound, and began to lick at the blood that oozed out.
"Kei...eww! That's gross!" Sho made a face, and went to move his wrist away, but Kei held on tight, and instead of licking, started sucking on the wound, causing Sho to wince.
"That stings! Stop it!" Sho said, and tried again to pry Kei away from his bleeding hand.
Kei suddenly let Sho's hand drop to his side. Before Sho knew what was happening, Kei was pressed up against him, pinning Sho against the wall of the alleyway.
"It tastes so good." Kei gasped, as he leaned in to nuzzle the tender skin of Sho's neck.
"Wh...What are you doing? K-Kei?" Sho stuttered, completely in shock at how Kei was behaving.
"Let me have another taste..." Kei said, as he dragged his tongue along the pulse along Sho's throat.
"Another taste? Let go of me!" Sho snarled, and winced as Kei grabbed him by the jaw, and looked into his eyes.
Sho gasped as Kei's eyes weren't the normal light shade of green. They were golden, and those eyes looked deadly.
"It won't hurt, Sho. I promise..." Kei whispered, and before Sho knew it, sharp fangs had pierced his neck, as Kei began to drink from him, draining his blood.
'Liar. It does hurt.' Sho thought, as the world began to spin before his eyes. Kei was a vampire and he was feeding on him. Before he slipped into unconsciousness, Sho thought he saw Luka running over to them.
'Vampires...are real'? Was Sho's last thought, before he fainted in Kei's arms.

A/N: Chapter 4 is complete! And another cliffhanger! Oh, don't you all just love me? Anyway, I'm going to remove the tag of LukaxKei, because I kind of think of them more as 'close friends' than lovers.
