This is the chapter that contains lemon. You have been warned! ;D

Caesar was in his study trying to figure out why a vampire would sell out another of his kind. "The bigger question is, how did he have such easy contact with a hunter?" The man had two hours to ponder before his meeting with the hunter princess.

He could not stop thinking about the presence he felt. All he knew was that there was a potential threat to his relationship with Ichihime.

The masked man spent the rest of the time getting ready to go see her. He wore a similar outfit to the one he used the night of the ball except the vest was now a beautiful silky turquoise color and the inside of the black cape was a grayish-lavender.

Later

The man was now walking to the cherry blossom orchard his love spoke about. He had been there once before, about a century before the maiden was brought into this world. It was at a dark point of his undying life. He wanted to free himself from his curse after centuries of abuse from humanity. Everywhere he went he was never accepted. When he came upon a cherry blossom orchard, his worries all faded away. Almost as if a goddess had been residing there, comforting all that was existing. It was the same feeling he got from Ichihime when he first ran into her. Was it pure coincidence? Perhaps..

In the distance the white-haired vampire heard a beautiful sound. It was singing but it was not just any voice. It was the voice of his beloved. The masked man was marveled by what he saw when he followed it. Her pink hair was blowing gently in the wind, cherry-blossom petals gracefully blowing the same direction, tears were rolling down her face as she looked up to the moon, and her voice contained so much grace along with sadness that words themselves could not describe. As the girl finished her song, she held a full cherry blossom in her hand.

"That was amazing, my dear Ichihime" he could not resist complementing her beautiful voice.

"C-Caesar-dono?!" Her face was a bright red now, she didn't think he was there listening to her song.

"You have a beautiful voice," he placed a hand on her cheek, "everything you do is amazing".

"A-ano singing is really all I could do. In time of discomfort or stress, I find it being a way to relieve it. It really helps calm my nerves" she wiped her tears.

"What is causing your discomfort right now?" He stroked her hair gently wearing a some-what forlorn expression.

"I just.. I think I really love you Caesar-dono..but my elder brother he..he cannot allow it because you are a vampire. But I know you're different!" The girl was determined and Caesar was shocked that she would be willing to take a risk to love a vampire like him. He loves her too but he does not know how long he will be able to be with her.

"My beautiful Ichihime, I've loved you from the moment we met. Something about you, it just pulled me in. I realized it was not just your blood" he placed his arm around her waist and pulled her close, giving her a small smirk.

"Caesar-dono" the girl blushed madly as she placed her hands against his chest. He was ice-cold like a vampire should be but yet, Ichihime felt a warmth from him. "Perhaps he's not bad at all, perhaps he did not mean to victimize so many people" she moved one of her hands and placed it on his face as she thought to herself.

There was a brief silence. The two lovers just stared at each other. There was no need for words to express how much they yearned to be together. Caesar slowly grasped the warm and gentle hand she had placed on his face.

"Caesar.." the girl looked at him in a loving gaze. The man slowly leaned in and placed his lips gently against hers.

Ichihime kissed him back and placed her arms around his neck.

Caesar had both arms around her waist now as their kiss grew more passionate.

He ran his hands up and down her back and the girl moved her hands along the snow-white curls of his hair.

Ichihime gasped as he ran his lips across her neck, planting sweet and gentle kisses along it. She kept running her hands through his soft hair, gripping it sometimes as if begging for more.

Caesar tried to be as gentle as he could as he kissed her neck. Although he was overwhelmed by the scent of her blood, he was still going to cherish her. He moved her hair gently away from her neck and kissed it more.

"C-Caesar!" The girl was becoming aroused, she wanted him to drink her blood. His eye began to glow a gentle red as he licked her neck. Eventually, he sank his fangs into the soft, tender skin, that belonged to his beloved.

The scarlet-eyed girl gasped in ecstasy. She did not want this feeling to end. There was more passion in his bite than the other night. The sound of him drinking her blood, burned into her mind and she began to moan. It was arousing her more knowing that he was enjoying it. He only wanted her blood and no one else's.

The sound of her moan rang into his ears as he kept drinking her blood. He stopped gently, licking the blood from her neck and picking her up.

"C-Caesar where are we going?" she was still aroused and wanted more.

"I know of a beautiful place where the light from the moon shines brightest" the man smiled and eventually led her to a beautiful flower meadow. There were many different species of flowers, most being the most magnificent of their kind. The man removed his cape and placed it on a spot where all the flowers could be safe from harm.

Ichihime blushed at his care for flowers and then giggled.

"You really are a kind vampire, Caesar."

"I'll do whatever it takes to make the one I love happy" he placed her gently onto the cape, and looking at her eyes sparkle under the moonlight.

"As long as you're with me that is all I need, my masked man" she placed her arms around his neck again and they began to kiss yet again. He began to caress her body, opening the layers of her clothing gently.

Ichihime shivered as his hands roamed across her bare skin. They were cold and although she was nervous, she was enjoying the sensation. Eventually Caesar was kissing her inner thigh gently, and at some point bit into it. The girl was moaning from the bite. It was different than when he drank blood from her neck. She was in more ecstasy and could not hold back. Caesar stopped and went back up to kiss her lips. From there, things got more intimate and passionate.

They began to make love. The girl was gripping his shoulders, calling out his name and moaning. She could not help herself. A blush flushing her face as her body begged for more. Caesar had his arms, one on each side, resting besides her head. Moaning along with her with each movement he made, also calling out her name. The two were in their own sanctuary. A place where they felt safe in each other's arms. A place where they could release all of their passion.

Ichihime watched as his pale skin glowed under the moonlight. A setting that was most fitting for him.

Caesar could not describe to her what he felt at the moment, it was beyond love, it was almost worship. She made him feel as if he had a heart, she made him burn with passion. Ultimately, she made him feel all these things he's never felt before. To be human.

The two gripped hands. The man was moaning into her neck, sweating, as they kept going. Ichihime had tears of joy running down her face as she kept moaning as well. Eventually the two finished it off together. Both feeling satisfied and happy in each other's arms.

"I love you Caesar" the girl was resting her head on his chest.

"I love you too, Ichihime."

With that they stayed there for a while longer, looking at the stars and moon..

Unaware that a certain figure lurked in the darkness of the night..
