When they got to the front doors of the cathedral, Ichihime realized that the rumors were true about him living there. She started to giggle.

"What is it, Ichihime?" He still held his shoulder.

"It's just I remember there was a rumor about you living here with a vampire but, you were the vampire yourself" she smiled at him as she stopped giggling.

"Is that so?" he chuckled lightly.

Ichihime opened one of the doors and was amazed by what she saw. The stained glass windows glowed under the moonlight and the small light from the lit candles, a marvelous height from where she stood to the ceiling of the cathedral, and beautiful decorations everywhere. One thing caught her attention in particular.

The girl picked up a page from a book that had a rose painted on with blood. "Caesar-dono did you do this?"

The male nodded, "Yes..I did.."

"You drew this in the blood of one of your victims correct?"

"Yes..although I regret it..I'm a beast..in human form..that's all I really am.."

She held his face in her hands, "You are not a beast, not to me." She earned a slight blush from him.

"Thank you," Caesar smiled, "you are the first to mention something like that to me."

Ichihime blushed, "I-I speak the truth though." She supported Caesar yet again as the pain was coming back to him. "Where is your room?" She watched as he pointed to the stairs leading up.

They both climbed up the stairs, that led to the door of his chambers. As Ichihime opened the door, she looked around. The moonlight illuminated the room nicely, it was perfect for a vampire. There was also a large, comfortable looking bed with jet-black pillows and a royal-red blanket, white sheets peeping through, with a black veil over the bed. Next to it was a coffin bed, she never imagined that myth actually being true.

She giggled as she helped him sit on the larger bed. "I never imagined you actually sleeping in a coffin"

"It is actually more comfortable than you would think," Caesar chuckled.

After a few minutes Caesar was resting on the bed with his shirt partially removed, and Ichihime was preparing to remove the bullet.

"Please bear with me, it might hurt but, I promise it won't after" she did not want to hurt him.

"It is alright, please proceed Ichihime" the masked man smiled to reassure her.

Ichihime began to remove the bullet. Caesar was screaming, gripping onto the bed, hoping the silver would be removed already. The girl was determined, not letting her sensitivity take over. She wanted to make sure the bullet didn't hurt him any longer. After 15 minutes, it was finally out and she was stitching up the wound.

Caesar was panting, glad the pain was finally gone.

Ichihime put the things on the nightstand once she was done. "Caesar-dono I'm glad you're ok-"

The man held her from behind as he sat up at the edge of the bed, "Thank you Ichihime" he smiled against her hair.

The girl blushed, "is there anything else you need?"

"I just need you here with me," he whispered into her ear, sending shivers down her spine. It was not fear but arousal.

"D-do you need blood?" The girl gasped as his lips trailed down her ear to her neck, his breath hitting it.

He silently nodded, his breath growing more irregular as his need for blood grew. His eye glowed crimson yet again, and he began to lick her neck; agonizingly. Without a doubt he needed her. He could not live without her. She was the only thing keeping him sane now.

Ichihime was gasping and moaning lightly as he savored her neck. "C-Caesar" she stuttered as he pulled her closer against him. For the first time, his body felt hot. She couldn't do anything but enjoy this new sensation she got from him. "Caesar!" She cried out his name as he bit into her soft, warm skin. He held her chin up gently with one hand and had the other arm around her waist, as he continued drinking her blood. She heard small and muffled moans coming from him. Perhaps this was a new sensation to him as well. A type of passion only humanity can feel.

He licked the blood from her neck, enjoying every last drop of it that had dripped down her beautiful skin.

Caesar turned Ichihime around to face him. She looked into his crimson red eye as she wiped the blood from his lips, and kissed him.

After kissing for a while, the masked man placed her on the bed gently, looking at her with a yearning.

"Ichihime, only you have been able to make me feel this way. I can feel something deep in my chest. Something I haven't felt before." He began to stroke her cheek, leading his hand down to her chest.

"Perhaps I have been given a second chance.."

Ichihime blushed madly, he was telling her all these things; he changed because of her. "Caesar-dono..I-I'm glad I could help you," she smiled warmly as he leaned back down for a kiss.

The rest of the night, they spent their time in his chambers.

The next morning Ichihime found herself laying next to Caesar on his bed. The blankets covered them but he still had his arm around her. The girl blushed and snuggled against the white haired vampire. He was warm, and she wanted his warmth and nothing else.

She looked up at him, wondering why he kept his mask on so she decided to remove it and find out.

There was nothing wrong with his face, there was no scar or burn. Was he always afraid to show his true face? She kissed his right eye, hoping it would make him feel better about it when he awoke.

The pink-haired girl felt him grab her wrist in a gentle manner. Caesar woke up, looking at her with his blue eyes. She could not help but stare and blush at the beautiful sight; the sky in his eyes.

"Sumimasen, Caesar-dono. I did not mean to wake you from your sleep."

"You're so adorable even when you're curious my lady."

"Don't say such things," Ichihime pouted and blushed.

"It's the truth. I wouldn't lie to my beautiful maiden would I?"

"C-Caesar-dono!" She was turning a brighter shade of red and Caesar just laughed in amusement.

He held her closer against him. "Why don't we go out? Your brother must be worried as well. You should go home for a while," he smiled genuinely.

"Mm!" The girl nodded happily in agreement. "I also want to talk to Nobukatsu. I need to thank him for always supporting this."

"Of course. You can do anything. But first let us rest a while longer," he kissed her forehead gently.

Ichihime just giggled and they rested for about another hour before getting dressed.
