Back to short shots again. I'm preparing for Kyoya's party in my other fic. You just don't know how hard it is the please that 'Low blood pressure Evil Lord'.

Title: Lifemate

Rating: T+

Pairing: KyoyaXRenge, past KyoyaXHaruhi

Prompts: lifemate, vampire, human, blood, Carpathians

WARNING: This is AU, inspired by the fictional universe of the Dark Series belonging to Christine Feehan.

Kyoya looked at the human girl who was dancing around her room, unaware of his intense watch on her. Once he had seen her he knew that she was his other half, his lifemate.

Until her Kyoya's life had been grey, dull for he felt nothing since becoming an adult. But this was how it was supposed to be, it was the nature of his race, the Carpathians. When a male passed from fledgling to adult his emotions dulled, in the end becoming nonexistent, colours started to fade, until they were only a memory and darkness consumed them. And when they were swallowed by this darkness they became vampires, cruel beings wanting nothing but destruction and pain.

Kyoya had met a woman before this girl who gave back colour to his life but the shades were flat and everything went back to grey when he understood that she was his best friend's lifemate. Yes, Haruhi was Tamaki's. Now looking at the girl before him Kyoya could see bright colours before his eyes and his breath caught with her every movement.

From where he was, outside her window perched on a tree branch, he could hear her heart beating and the blood rushing through her veins. It hurt so bad, not being able to be near her. Kyoya knew that he wouldn't last much longer but he had to keep himself hidden from her. Otherwise he feared he would rush things and she would be frightened of him. He couldn't bear that. After all, he had seen fright in her eyes the first time her mind had felt his presence, dark and dangerous. She was a telepath so he would slowly make his way in her mind and establish a connection with her.

During his lapse he became lost in his own thoughts, unconsciously letting his mind reach out to her. He felt her tense and then as if she knew that he wouldn't hurt her she relaxed and opened her mind to him.

'Who are you?' Her question rang clearly in his head, her voice sending chills down his spine.

I plan to make this a mini-series as well. A few shots of this and then I'll move to something else.
