Dark Nights
The standard disclaimers applied.
A/N: Another ficlet which I have whipped up. I'm not sure on continuing this since it's intended to be a one shot. If I received many supportive reviews, I might reconsider doing it in CHAPTERS instead of a puny little one shot.
Summary: AU. Vampire Fic. A poor boy…an object of the high ranking vampire of the night was one he had resisted.
Pairings: Hao/Yoh
The bright moonlight burned his eyes as he looked up at it, admiring it from afar. It was so dark…so dark that he could almost felt the poor and lost soul whispering to him. They didn't show up but he could feel it. They're there. They're here. They're everywhere, laughing at him of his new founded stupidity. His throat was dry…very dry. His eyes were swollen from all of the crying.
The soft yet so horrifying wind blew deeply from one place to another, sending chills down the boy's spine. Even the wind spared him no solitude. It mocked him, played him making the young boy punching the air like a crazy maniac. But this particular action only made him shivered more since the dark wind avenged by tuning up a bit. The boy wiped another tear from his lonely eyes, walking down the nearly forgotten neighborhood.
The gloomy colored clouds did their job perfectly by shrouding the almost lifeless moon which seemed to have lost its normal bright color. The poor boy hugged himself to provide sufficient warmth.
It had been a terrible night. He just came back from an embarrassing night – the prom. He arrived there only to find himself being tricked by his girlfriend, the ever so popular Anna Kyouyama. For all of his life at high school, he was despised by the entire student body. His looks were admired and the envy of all students. Somehow, the envy turned to hate. The Asakura was very surprised when the ice queen suddenly confessed to him and he blindly agreed to this.
Only to end by laughter, mockery and imprudence. He hated himself for it. It wasn't his fault that he looked like this. It wasn't his fault that he as the envy of the student body. Did he really deserve this kind of treatment? What did he do wrong to deserve this?
Nothing…
He did nothing wrong…
The answer remained hidden in the dark. How he wished to hide beneath here in the dark, long forgotten and long locked away. With no one to be with, with no one to hold to, won't it be nice for change? Strolling in the night with the coat of his black tux dangling by his side, Yoh stared into the nothingness above. The moon was already half-shrouded by the cloud…
Eyes widening in fear, his adrenaline kicked in. The poor boy ran like there was no tomorrow, trying to save his own pathetic life. Afraid to even turn back, Yoh continued on running since it was the only thing he was able to think of at the moment. He ran and ran as fast as his skinny legs could carry him but accidentally tripped into a puddle of water.
He had almost forgotten about everything in his newfound fear. It was raining. The rain soaked him wet as he scampered onto his feet again, turning at a corner. Plain and really exhausted, he paused for a while, panting hard and wondering if the dark 'shroud' he seen was gone or not.
The young boy was not one who was afraid of death. In fact, death was afraid of him. He wouldn't mind dying if it meant being erased from the surface of this cruel world. He wouldn't mind if there's an empty coffin in front of him, beckoning him to move in. It was all too good to be true. He would have just chosen to stand there, waiting for the 'shroud' to engulf him.
Something was wrong…
And Yoh knew it.
His well-known instincts told him this was something which he wouldn't want to mess about. This was something which would have been better to be left alone. But it was too late, the thing had spotted him. That was why he ran in the first place, not bothering to stop once in a while.
Peeking out of the dark alley, the area was cleared. No dark figure was chasing him around in a mouse and cat game. No dark figure was standing anywhere near him, waiting to pounce in his prey. And Yoh was thankful for that. Sighing to himself, he prepared to run again, hoping he would get home as soon as possible. The warm cozy bed enticed him since he was very tired.
Creak.
Yoh halted in his footsteps. He could only hear his heavy and rapid breathing in the dark night. The rain only acted as background music to his ears.
Thud.
The sound of something fell over.
Crack.
The sound of twigs cracking in agony.
Footstep.
And that was the one which caused Yoh to immediately stopped breathing. His heartbeat was as fast ever. Sweats trickled down his grieving face.
The night turned darker than ever, scaring the boy out if his own skin. He was unable to move as he felt a dark shadow walking closer…and closer to him. Having the sudden urge to run, he restrained by doing so. He knew it was too late and hopeless. He would be caught soon.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
His eyes shut tight.
Heavy and foul breaths were felt impaling onto his exposed neck made his tanned skin crawled.
Panicking, the boy did one thing which was currently available for options for a moment. With a sudden jolt, he boldly whirled around and hit with all his might. His clenched fist only collided with cold air and more rain. Feeling no contact within his reach, the young Asakura slowly fluttered open his eyes.
Nothing.
Not even a soul was there.
The aid boy sighed in relief and shrugged all of it off. His mind must have been playing tricks on him.
Crack.
Or maybe not…
Trying his best to clam himself down, Yoh repeatedly told himself it was just a cat or a dog or just some kids pranking on him. Anything would be better than this. The terrified boy quickly turned around again only to face…
…nothing for the second time that night.
Puzzled, the boy scratched his head in confusion.
Footsteps were suddenly heard again, appearing from no where. They got closer and closer…
Closer…
And suddenly…
"Boo." A voice crackled, startling the boy in front of him.
His heart came to a complete stop as he backed away and tripped backwards.
A strong arm abruptly shot out to block the younger from the fall. Yoh, afraid, struggled to wriggle free from the strong embrace. But it was no use. In terms of strength, this person here was on a much higher level than him.
The lifeless moon decided to uncovered itself. As the gloomy clouds fade away allowing moonlight to shine through them, the boy froze at the sight.
Sharp eyes gleamed in the dark with his long black cape being swept playfully by the wind. The person looked exactly like him. Every piece of creation on his handsome face would be fatal for every girl in the world but Yoh was there and he done it. It brought nothing more than misery and pain.
His skin was as pale of the lifeless moon. It was paler than a corpse itself. The way those eyes shone in satisfaction made his stomach churned. And that arrogant smirk on his face…was irresistible. His heart skipped a bit, springing to life. The long hair swept onto the boy's face, almost covering his whole features.
But he still saw it, one by one. The way those features were perfectly traced would have made him look human but Yoh had a feeling that this one isn't one. And he isn't going to stay and find out.
"Let me go!" Yoh yelled breathlessly, breaking from his trance.
"As you wish." The boy spoke with such confidence in him, his voice as light and as deadly as a corpse.
With that, he let the younger boy go, smirking in delight.
"Oh and here's a nice welcoming gift." The boy stated again, gripping the protesting boy's wrist tightly.
Without further much warning, cold icy lips pressed onto warm ones, surprising the young Asakura.
Yoh squirmed harder under him, trying to get himself out of this. He tried biting on the older boy's lip but nothing came out. He even tried kicking him in the groin but still, lips were locked. The older finally let go, eyes eyed the younger hungrily- filled with lust and desire. Yoh back away frightened, until his back came in contact against a solid wall, blocking his chances of escape.
"What….what do you want from me?" The boy managed to speak up, stammering every now and then. His legs felt weaker and weaker.
His smirk widened even more in respond, pinning the smaller boy onto the wall in victory. How amusing… The older thought. He leaned forward, burying his head onto the other's neck. The boy struggled even more but it was no use. This rapist here isn't going to let him go that easily.
Yoh shivered as the sound of his tux was tore open in the middle, exposing more tanned skin. He felt the older nipped on his neck slightly, forcing a gasp to escape from his throat. Tears swelled up in his eyes as he continued to fight in order to free himself from the strong grip.
Suddenly, the sound of something fluttering caused the said rapist (who isn't really one) to loosen his grip and whirled around quickly in frustration. Yoh slouched down onto the ground, breathing rapidly. The rapist (who really isn't one for the second time) turned to face Yoh. A small growl escaped his cold lips.
"That will be our parting gift for now." He whispered down his throat before disappearing into the night. Yoh blinked and quickly ran home. He locked every door and window, silently wishing that this was all just a dream…
A horrible twisted dream.
----------------
The moon was shrouded by the clouds again, spreading darkness around the neighborhood. A boy with sharp golden eyes sat at a rooftop admiring the beautiful moonlight. It wasn't soon that his peace was abruptly and not to mention, rudely interrupted by the arrival of another who also felt displeased at the said boy.
"I was just getting to the good part." The 'guest' roared furiously.
The purple-haired boy faced his newly arrived 'guest', chuckling mildly. "What? You mean the part where you're going to fuck the poor by senseless or sucked the blood out of him? Who are you kidding, all high-almighty vampire of all vampires, Hao-sama?"
Hao glared at the boy in front of him. "Shut up, Tao. You know better than to interrupt me."
"You shut up too. I'm still second to you so don't use the whole rank thing on me. " He spat, fangs glowing in the dark, preparing to fend the 'intruder' off. "One day, I will surpass you."
"Like wise." The vampire replied in annoyance. "You cost me a good prey." He added again. The disastrous smirk present on his face every time he get all excited. With a small flick of his pale fingers, he faded into the dark.
Ren could only watch as the maniac finally went away. The golden-eyed vampire took a small sipped out of his midnight tea before disappearing as well.
The moon again shone like it always had shone, laughing at the vampires in many ways it did in all of the lonely and solitude nights.
Like I said earlier, I'm not sure on continuing this since it's intended to be a one shot. If I received many supportive reviews, I might reconsider doing it in CHAPTERS instead of a puny little one shot. XD
So be nice and review and don't forget to let me know if I should continue this or not!
