Animus
Chapter Six
-Prize-
Ming chuckled as she lounged on a maroon settee in a warm-lit room. She and the other three witches were spending their evening enjoying a burning fire and books of their choice, but the purple haired woman couldn't stop her musings. "I wonder how long it will take that undertaker to get a pureblood. She'll probably come back defeated and ashamed."
"Don't say that Ming." Faia said softly. "How would you f-feel if it were you?"
Shusui snorted. "As if Ming would ever dirty her hands that way." he said. "She'd rather trick some poor human into doing her work. Or some warlock."
"Lettie won't come back until she's found someone anyways." Valencia said, not seeming worried. "And she'll be successful, especially if she wants to prove you wrong."
"Please." The purple haired witch scoffed. "I can't wait till-" They all fell silent when the doors slammed open and Viletta walked in, a victorious and uncharacteristic smirk on her usually blank façade.
"I have returned." She announced, stopping before them. Ming nearly jumped for joy when she saw nothing in the dark witch's hands, until she snapped her fingers and a cage slammed down behind her. "Behold. A pureblood."
Valencia gasped, hopping up from her seat and forgetting her book. "Oh Lettie, I knew you'd bring one back!" she clapped, bouncing over and hugging her sister.
Shusui smirked, rising as well. "Good job Viletta." He said, walking up to the cage and taking a good look at the vampire inside. "And you're sure she's a pureblood? What line is she from?" he asked.
"Uchiha." Viletta informed them, making Ming's eyes literally glow with rage as she began to sizzle in her seat.
The dark haired woman snapped and the spell on the vampire's mouth slipped off like unzipping a zipper. The brunette gasped out for hair, nearly exploding in rage. "You damn witch! Let me go! What do you want with me?!" she hissed, barring her fangs, her eyes red now in attempts to threaten them.
"Are all Uchihas this feisty?" Shusui chuckled, walking around the cage and getting a good look at her. "A perfect specimen Viletta. We should have sent you out from the beginning."
"I told you." she scoffed, giving her sister a somewhat disappointed look, though the green haired witch knew it wasn't aimed at her. "But I got the job done."
Ming stood and huffed, glaring at the group before stomping past the vampire and leaving the room. Viletta glanced after her before she was forced to look back at the vampire. "Why do you smell of my cousin!" the brunette demanded.
Valencia's brow furrowed. "Her cousin?" she looked to her sister. "What does she mean by that Lettie?"
"Who knows." The dark witch shrugged. "I was in vampire territory." she informed them, before leaving as well. "I'm tired from my travels. Don't awaken me unless absolutely necessary."
"Come on Faia, let's go and make Lettie her favorite meal as a little treat for her hard work." Valencia said, walking out of the room with the other woman, leaving Shusui alone with the vampire.
He continued to walk around the cage, examining her as if she were a prize he wanted to buy. "So what's your name, hm?" he wondered.
The brunette snapped at him, her glare narrowing dangerously as she watched him. He chuckled, only seeming to take great amusement from her actions. "That's not a real name."
"Why should I tell you my name?" she hissed once more.
"You could try to use it as a means to appeal to my humanity." The witch smirked.
Her gaze narrowed further, though it was obvious she was considering his words. "Do you even have any humanity?"
He shrugged. "If you consider me going to great lengths in order to save and free my people, then I suppose so."
"Save your people?" her brow furrowed. "From what?"
"Vampires, of course." Shusui said matter-of-factly. "Now, are you going to tell me your name or not?"
She stayed silent for a while longer, trying to think of what he could be talking about. How could he be saving witches from vampires? It just didn't make sense. "Shiori."
He smiled. "Ah, that's a pretty name, so I suppose it fits. I'm Shusui." He bowed in a bit of a grand gesture.
Shiori looked over him, not fully seeming to understand. "Aren't you…you know, a boy?" she asked.
Shusui huffed. "Witches can be boys." He said. "As it happens, I am the king of them all."
"I thought there was only a queen." She said, arching a curious brow.
He pressed his lips together. "…technically there is, but in an odd occurrence that nobody is quite sure of, I am the only one that came from the royal line, and so I am a king. Because I'm a boy." He clarified.
"So…you're the Queen of the Witches." She tried not to laugh, but it was becoming harder. "That's…um, interesting."
"King of the Witches." He repeated. "It's not that hard to say, I don't know why people seem to have so much trouble. King! Not queen." He began to pace back and forth from her cage as he ranted.
Shiori watched him as he moved. "So you're really the most powerful witch…er-warlock?"
At this he stopped and gave her a cocky grin. "You bet your cute ass I am." He winked.
"So if you're the most powerful why did you send out some dark and depressing woman to come and get me? What do you even want with me?" she demanded once more, not allowing herself to be amused by his behavior.
"As if I would put my neck on the line to capture a pureblood. If anything had gone wrong my people would descend into anarchy and chaos, and our plans for freedom would have been lost." Shusui said. "And Viletta likes to piss Ming off, so by capturing you she was successful."
"Huh?" she blinked, shaking her head. "The witch smells like my cousin!" She yelled once more. "There's only one way that could be possible."
He just stared at her. "Which is…?"
"Well he either drank her blood and made sure his scent was all over her so no others would come after her, or they had sex. Or both. Most likely the second. My cousin isn't one to rub his scent over anyone. He likes to have his fill and watch as the rest tear them to pieces."
Shusui looked disgusted with that. "That's sickening." He said. "But I doubt either happened. Viletta probably tricked your cousin, knowing he was too strong for her, before going after you, one she was confident she could capture."
Shiori's eye twitched, "I am not weak! She took me by surprise because I thought it was my cousin! And it has to have been one of those. There is no other way!" she snapped, now looking angry.
"And why should I trust a vampire over my own subject?" he asked. "You probably just want to trick me in order to save yourself somehow. Keep you from being sacrificed."
Her blue-green depths widened. "Sacrificed?!"
"Yup." He sighed. "Every powerful spell requires one sacrifice or another. You happen to be the one we need for this one."
She lowered her head in defeat, refusing to cry. She couldn't move, she couldn't do anything in attempts to free herself from this magic. She only hoped that it took long enough for her to die before they could use her for their heinous plan.
"Oh, don't be so sad. It's for a noble cause." Shusui said. "Now, when was the last time you fed?"
Shiori remained silent, staring down at the ground. She would make this as difficult as possible, though she couldn't help the small hope in her heart that her family would come after her and save her from this place. "Not going to answer?" he wondered, walking up to the cage and bending a bit to get a look at her face. "Very well. We shall just make sure you're properly fed during your stay."
"You can't make me eat." she said lowly, baring her fangs, though she didn't meet his gaze. "I will starve myself before helping you in any way."
"Oh really?" he almost laughed, pulling out a dagger and pricking the tip of his finger. He smirked when he saw her body tense. "You want the blood." He said, walking up to the cage and wiping the crimson liquid off on one of the bars. "If you're hungry enough, you'll eat, no matter what your will. And if not, there are spells around your…resistance."
She looked up slightly, her gaze on nothing but the blood. "Your spell can't outlast my will." She hissed lowly, shutting her strained eyes and letting her head fall down once more so her brown locks were covering most of her face.
"You'd be surprised what magic can do." The brunette said, walking past the cage. "See you around Shiori. The sun will be up soon, and I have things to attend to before then. Don't worry though, you'll be safe from its rays while in here." He told her, before leaving the room, the door shutting behind him with an almost foreboding thunk.
Shiori tried to look back, but it craned her neck too much to be comfortable. She focused forward once more, her eyes on the blood left on the cage. It smelled so delicious she could hardly keep her mouth from watering. She'd been about to head out to hunt for the evening and now, she was beginning to feel the tax on her hunger. She shut her eyes once more, resisting all thoughts and wants of her precious life force.
Ming sat in a tavern far off from the manor, a crystal glass in her hand filled with a fruity wine. She glared off into the crowd, though she was lounging on a sofa surrounded by men who were ogling her and offering to buy her dinner and jewels. She was used to this though, but for some reason the attention did not pull her from her sour mood. She was so angry. How was it that dark little bitch witch never messed up? It really put a thorn in her side how good she was in the dark arts, not to mention her confidence was never swayed, just like her own. Viletta was the only person Ming had ever come against that wasn't intimidated by her power and her beauty. She didn't understand how someone so plain looking could be so confident. Though on occasions when she admitted it, Viletta was in fact beautiful in her own dark way.
She huffed. Since when was a new moon better than a blood moon? Never. They were both powerful dark omens, and she was just as good as Viletta, if not better. Ming growled lowly, sipping at her wine before her navy blue depths stopped on someone who'd entered the bar. It was a tall, hooded man that walked in, before he pushed his hood back to reveal gorgeous golden locks. Her eyes widened slightly as she drank in his perfect form and figure. The black outfit he had on was very form fitting, giving her a good idea of his physique beneath his cloak. Deep forest green orbs scanned the tavern, pausing on her briefly before continuing their perusal. And when he finished, he walked right up to the bar to order a drink.
Ming shoved off a man who was trying to get her attention and stood, walking over to the bar where she'd seen the blonde go. She went to the open spot beside him, sliding between him and the man he was next to, allowing her breasts to graze his arm. "Hey there." She purred, sipping her wine once more. "I couldn't help but notice you checking me out over there."
"I was checking out everyone." He said, picking up his ale and taking a sip as he glanced at her. "Never hurts to be aware of your surroundings."
She tried not to let her irritation show. "Oh? Were you now?" she asked, whispering a few words before lifting her hand and brushing his soft blonde locks behind his ear, a slightly dazed look coming over his emerald depths. "Are you sure you weren't just checking me out?" she asked, leaning closer to him.
"Well…I didn't want to be obvious in my perusal of your assets." He said, his full attention now on her. "Because you have the most amazing body I have ever seen."
Ming practically glowed at the attention, glad her spell had worked. "I know, don't I?" she giggled, latching onto his arm. "How about you join me?" she asked, tugging him slightly.
"I would love to." He said, rising at her prompting.
She pulled him over to the place she'd been, shooing the others away before sitting him down and snuggling against him. "So tell me about yourself." She sighed happily.
"I'd much rather hear about you." he said, placing his hand on her knee and rubbing it. "You're so beautiful and so amazing…I could spend days listening to you tell me all there is to know about you."
"Okay!" she practically squealed. "Well my name is Ming and I love the color purple. The moon fascinates me, and I really like when men throw themselves at my feet, but I've yet to meet that one who can really sweep me off them."
He chuckled. "Well there's probably not a man out there that could measure up to your level. Even someone as powerful as me is worthless when next to you and your glory." He sighed, staring at her in adoration.
"Ohh…and just how powerful are you?" she wondered, moving closer to him. "I like powerful men."
The blonde smirked. "I'm in line to rule over my people." He confessed. "Once I beat out my cousins, that is. But it shouldn't be too difficult."
She gasped, practically bouncing. "Well that just sounds marvelous. So you're a prince?"
"Better." He said, his gaze straying to her jiggling breasts before returning to her navy blue depths. "I'm a pureblooded vampire of the ruling family."
Her eyes widened as she stared at him in slight amazement. "A pureblood?" she gasped. "An Uchiha? But…you're blonde."
"Uchiha Ryousuke, at your service my lady." He smiled. "The blonde fools a lot of people. I get it from my mother."
She moved closer, crossing her leg over his lap. "I think your blonde hair makes you sexier. Perhaps a sexy vampire like you could show me a good time." She purred, tracing her finger along his jaw as she thought of the possibilities of this little spell.
"I would be more than happy, if it would please you Ming." Ryousuke said.
"It would please me greatly." She sighed happily. "Why don't you tell me more about how beautiful I am."
"Well, with my heightened senses, I can tell just by looking at you how real and true your beauty is." The vampire said, picking up a strand of her hair and twirling it around his finger. "Your hair is finer than silk, and I bet your skin is just as soft. And you smell divine." He said, lifting the section of hair and inhaling. "Like a cool breeze on a summer's day."
She giggled, soaking in the attention. "I'm pretty powerful too you know."
"Are you now?" he wondered, continuing to play with her hair. "How so?"
"I'm an all-powerful witch." She explained. "In fact, I'm one of the best ever. I'm so powerful I could make you fall in love with me. Just like that." She snapped, watching him as his whole body stiffened, filling with uncontrollable arousal.
He made a soft noise, almost like a moan. "That's impossible." He whispered. "I've wanted you since the moment I stepped foot in this place. You're just that desirable."
She nodded, stroking his cheek before trailing her finger down his chest and lower. "I know I am, I just like to speed things up." Ming smirked, kissing his neck before nibbling on him teasingly. "You look like you could rock my body so hard."
"I'd let you ride me until the sun was highest in the sky." Ryousuke told her, lowering his hand and placing it on her thigh.
Ming shivered slightly. "Well, how about we go back to my home then…" she urged, grabbing his wrist and forcing it closer, his hand sliding between her legs. "And we could play all day long. I need a good bang to get me in a better mood."
"Oh I'll have you in a better mood before the banging even begins." He smirked, rubbing her clothed womanhood in a teasing manner.
She moaned softly, placing her hand over his. "I can already feel it."
He chuckled. "Let's get out of here then, so I can make you feel better."
"Alright, but you have to be good and not let my…acquaintances know you're a vampire. They might get jealous and try and take you for themselves." She huffed, pulling him closer. "Got it? Be a good boy."
"Whatever you say Ming." He said, removing his hand from her and licking her flavor from the tips. "But when we get to your bedchambers, I'm going to be bad."
She shivered, rising from her spot. "That sounds marvelous. Let's hurry then." She giggled, grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the tavern. "You don't mind flying…right?" she asked, waving her hands as a shimmering golden broom appeared.
"Of course not. It's just like running, only off the ground." Ryousuke said.
"We'll see." She smirked, mounting the broom and patting the spot behind her. "Come on then."
He got on behind her, placing his hands on her hips and resting his chin on her shoulder. "Let us fly, my beauty." He murmured, nipping her ear.
Ming tried to contain her excitement as they shot into the air, causing him to grip her more tightly. "Hang on." She laughed, as they took off into the sky.
He did as he was told, not wanting to fall off but keeping from letting on that he was slightly worried about being up this high in the air. They sped through the sky until finally a massive black castle rose from the treetops, surrounded by a small village on one side, with a lake on the other. They dropped down, diving until they were hovering over a balcony. "This is my room." She said, gesturing for him to step off, since they were now near the floor.
The vampire dropped down, landing gracefully as he waited for her to follow. She snapped her fingers and landed, giving him a once over. "So were you scared?" she wondered, poking at his side before pushing her doors open and going into to the lavishly decorated room.
"I'm not scared of anything." Ryousuke scoffed, following her inside. He took in his surroundings, his gaze landing on the bed that was nearly stockpiled with pillows. "This is going to be fun." He smirked, wrapping his arms around her from behind and pressing into her as he gripped one of her breasts. "I want you so badly." He lightly bit the side of her neck.
Ming moaned softly, arching against his hands and rubbing against him. "I want you too. You've no idea how much I need this."
"I can guess." He said, quickly undoing the ties to her dress and yanking it down so that it fell to the floor.
She gasped slightly, now bare before him, though she did nothing to cover herself from him as she turned around. "So impatient." She scolded playfully. "You need to take your time marveling and feeling my body."
"I just wanted the marveling to begin as soon as possible." The blonde said, gripping her rear and pulling her against him. "You're a goddess." He said, leaning down and kissing her.
Ming moaned into his mouth, loving the feel of his kiss. "I know." She whispered, pulling away from him, before lifting her arms over her head and slowly beginning to smooth them down her body. "If you want more, you'll have to take your clothes off and join me." She winked, going to her bed and laying back so he had a good view of her body.
Ryousuke chuckled, staring at her as he removed his clothes, revealing his perfectly lean and chiseled body to her. Once he was as bare as she he walked up to the bed, grabbed her ankles, and opened her legs in order to get a look at her hidden flower. "Beautiful." He breathed out, yanking her to the edge of the bed before he lowered and licked along her folds.
"Are vampires always so rough?" she asked, a small pink blush actually coming to her cheeks, her body already retracting into bliss.
"Do you want me to be gentle?" he asked, his face still buried between her legs as he slipped a finger inside of her, getting a feel for her heat.
She moaned once more. "N-no." she trembled. "It's just I've never been with a vampire before…"
"Then get ready for the greatest experience of your life." he smirked, removing his hand from her and sliding them up along her body. He cupped her breasts in his hands once he was over her, kissing the valley between them as he tugged on her nipples.
Ming let her head fall back, having given up on watching him. He was just too dangerously sexy, even under this spell. She felt like she couldn't control him in this state. "You're a god." She whispered, his hands doing just the right thing to make her fall before him. "Make me feel better than I ever have!" she offered, resting her hand on his head and running her fingers through his blonde locks.
He continued to lavish her with his tongue and hands, exploring her body to the fullest. Grabbing her by the backs of her knees, he lifted her pelvis off the mattress a bit and rubbed against her, moaning at the feel. "Ming, my goddess." He breathed out, looking down at her slightly flushed body. "Can I bite you? It's the only way you'll really be able to experience being with a vampire, and I can assure you the entire thing will feel fantastic for us both."
"I don't want to be a vampire." Her gaze hardened slightly, though she was clearly trying to not show how badly feeling him was making her go crazy.
"You won't be." he assured her, dropping her legs and leaning over her so that she was looking into his eyes. "I won't use the turning venom on you, only the one that brings pleasure." He said.
"And it'll feel good?" she arched a curious brow, glancing at the small indents on his lip from his fangs.
"If it wouldn't, I wouldn't ask you." Ryousuke said, kissing her lightly. "I would never hurt you Ming, I adore you. I worship you."
She smiled, though it was somewhat sad. "Okay, show me all your love."
He returned her smile, kissing her once more as he gripped his shaft and slowly entered her waiting heat, his moan mixing in with her own. "So tight…so perfect." He murmured against her lips, pulling out slightly and starting a nice rhythm.
Ming groaned out. This felt amazing. He definitely knew what he was doing, she could tell just from their start. "Oh yes!" she cried out, thrusting her hips against his in want. "Oh please! Please take me higher!"
"Whatever you wish." He said, going faster and harder. "I'll make you see stars." He swore, beginning to suck on her nipple as he pounded her. She threw her head back, yelling out and allowing him to dominate her.
"Ryoyo!" she giggled, loving the sound of his name.
When he looked up at her, it was with red eyes. "I like that nickname." He tugged on her nipple with his teeth, before pulling back so that he could focus on the speed of his thrusting. Then he repositioned her legs so that they were hooked over his shoulders in order to allow him deeper penetration.
"Ah! AH!" she panted, gripping the sheets tightly and hoping all her associates could hear how wonderful she felt with the aid of a man.
Ryousuke's fangs extended even more as he continued to slam into her, and when he couldn't take it any longer, he threaded his fingers into her purple locks and pulled her head to the side, baring her neck. He sank his teeth into her flesh then, moaning at the taste of her life's essence as he began to drink, not slowing in his pace.
Ming's eyes widened as the small sharp pain surged into unbelievable pleasure. "Oh…my…" she moaned long and hard. Her body was growing hotter from the sensation, and she knew no sex with anyone else could ever compare to this completely satisfied feeling.
He continued to drink, a new understanding coming to his eyes. When he'd had enough he ripped his mouth away from her, straightening and gripping her hips to bring them both to their ends, completely disregarding the small trail of blood sliding from the corner of his mouth to his chin.
The purple haired witch groaned out, aiding him in their movements. She glanced up at him, trembling. "You look…so sexy…above me like that. You're like a predator."
"I am a predator." The Uchiha growled, reaching down to rub her clit as he slammed into her. "And you are the best meal I've ever had."
Her brow furrowed slightly at his words, but she was lost in so much bliss it was drowned out before she could really grasp the thought. She moaned again, her eyes rolling back as her toes began to curl. "J-just a little more! I'm going to cum."
"Cum for me now Ming." Ryousuke ordered, not letting up in his unrelenting pace.
She cried out, arching her back as the fire inside her blazed and erupted in absolute ecstasy. "Ohhh! Yes!" she moaned.
He groaned, thrusting into her one last time before his seed shot forth into her womb. And when he finished he pulled out, before lifting her lower half higher up so that he could lick away their combined juices. "Everything about you tastes so good." he moaned, slipping his tongue into her.
Her blush returned as she watched him with a bit of difficulty. "I'm glad you like it so much, but I'm so tired I need some rest." She said, though his tongue felt amazing against her stimulated sex.
Ryousuke slowly lowered her back onto the mattress, before he crawled over her. "Then rest my beauty." He murmured, brushing some of her hair from her face and stroking her cheek. "And when you're ready, I'll take you in a new position." He told her, kissing her tenderly.
"Your stamina is invigorating." She smiled, moving her sheets with her feet until she was able to crawl beneath them. "But for now my body needs a rest from that. So lay with me." Ming ordered, turning on her side and closing her eyes.
The vampire gave her a contemplative look, before shrugging to himself and getting beneath the covers as well. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against him, burying his face in her hair so that he could be surrounded with her scent. And as he waited for her to be ready for another round, he couldn't help but think of how much he liked laying here with her, despite her status as a witch.
