Because I was bored, not being able to type up the rest of 'Another Word
for Strength' cause I finished it, I decided to find something else to do:
type up another story I have notes for!
Immortal Blood
Chapter One: Secrets
Kai winced and grabbed his chest in pain. He groaned and rolled over again in his bed. He had been there for over two days and everyone was beginning to get worried. It was two years after the Russian tournament and the Bladebreakers had reformed for the 2004 Asian tournament held in China. They had decided to grab a lodge a week earlier and ever since they arrived, Kai had not once left his room.
He cried out as yet another stabbing pain shot through his chest. He hadn't felt this weak since he was first turned. When the pain went away he stood finally and went to the newspaper his fellow team mates had shoved under the door. It was nothing more than the local news, but Kai's attention was caught on the front page. The story was about the nearest hospital having to step up its security after the previous night's raid. Kai rolled his eyes and sighed. There went his chances of getting help. There was no way he could sneak in now. And he refused to do things the proper way, so he had locked the door in case he couldn't control his urges around the Bladebreakers. Not even Mr. Dickenson had talked to the boy face to face since they got there.
"Kai!" Takao banged on the door. He tried this twice, daily, and had yet to get Kai to open the door. "What the hell is wrong with you? Other than the usual. You know, we haven't seen you for two years and some of us are starting to worry about you. Are you okay in there?"
"I'm fine!" Kai snapped. "I just need some time alone." He heard Takao grumble again at not getting him out and walk away. Kai winced again as he felt a weaker twinge of pain shoot through his head. He looked to the window and sighed. There was no other way out. He'd just have to take his chances getting in and out of the hospital that night without getting caught. He waited for the sun to set before grabbing his scarf and opening the window.
He jumped onto the ledge and down to the grass and began to run towards the mountains, following a small dirt path. He remembered from the bus ride that the hospital was only over the range and it was about a two hour hike going through them. He set his pace at a quick jog and tried to ignore the building pain in his chest and head. Within minutes he had to slow down to keep from wheezing. He walked slowly over the first foot hill and came panting to the second. Before he could even get to the rocky base of the mountains he was fully passed out, sprawled on the grass.

Rei woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and energised. He looked at his mini-calendar and grinned. There was only a week and a half until the tournament and five days till his sixteenth birthday. He was excited, even though no one else knew of his birthday.
He pulled on his clothes and went outside for a morning walk. Normally his walks were straight to the foot of the mountains but today he decided to go around the back of the lodge and to the lake before heading towards the mountains. He didn't know what had made him to decide to go around the lake first, but he was glad he did. The view was breathtaking and the radiant sun's rays bounced off the surface in a jumble of colour.
He found a large rock and sat down to stare at the lovely scenery for a few minutes. When he was ready to continue his walk, he went back around the cabin and towards the beaten path, heading straight for the mountains.
Just as he rounded one of the little foot hills, he caught sight of a heap of clothing. He moved closer to check it out and his breath caught in his throat when he recognised the scarf wrapped around the figures neck.
"Kai?!" he exclaimed and ran over to the mass of body. He kneeled beside his friend and pressed two fingers to his neck to make sure he wasn't dead. He was relieved to find a faint but steady heartbeat. He looked around for a second, but sighed when he realised there would be no one to help him carry Kai back to the lodge. It would take to much time to run there and back. He'd just have to drag him there himself.
He picked Kai's hands up and shivered at the coldness. They were freezing. He pushed away the feeling and pulled Kai onto his back, similar to the way Takao had carried him to the Asian tournament when he fell. Although Kai was heavy, he straightened himself out and began jogging back to the lodge they shared with the other Bladebreakers.
As soon as he got close enough, he began to call for help from anyone who was up and would hear him.
"Kenny! Max! Mr. Dickenson! I need some help here!" he called. He didn't even bother with Takao, knowing that even after two years he was still a late sleeper. Everyone called came out of the lodge to see what the problem was.
"What's wr- holy shit!" Max cried, seeing Kai's pale face slumped over Rei's shoulder. "What happened to him?"
"I don't know." Rei replied. He walked into the lodge and carried Kai to his room. Max tried to open the door but found it was stuck.
"He must have snuck out through the window." Kenny pointed out. Max nodded and left the lodge. A few seconds later he unlocked Kai's bedroom door. Rei nodded his thanks and dropped Kai down on his bed. Him and Kai were supposed to share a room, but Rei had been forced to sleep out on the couch since Kai had locked everybody out.
"I was out walking and I found him lying near the mountains." Rei explained. Mr. Dickenson entered the room and held up his cell phone.
"I've just called for a local doctor. He's got a patient but can be here in an hour." He told them. Rei nodded and sat down on his bed.
Kai turned his head and his eyes snapped open. He sat up quickly and looked at the three other occupants of the room.
"What the hell are you doing here?" he wheezed slightly. He winced slightly when a sharp pain shot through his chest. He brought a hand to his throat and coughed a couple of times before standing from the bed.
"Rei found you out by the mountains." Kenny exclaimed. "You were passed out and he carried you back. Mr. Dickenson has called you a doctor." Kai's eyes widened at this. "Why a doctor?" he asked, feigning his health. He couldn't have a doctor look at him right now.
"You're sick, Kai!" Max exclaimed.
"No, I'm not." Kai argued, putting on his expressionless face. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with me. I must have been out for a walk and fell asleep." He glared at them all. Mr. Dickenson returned to check up on Kai.
"Oh, you're awake!" he exclaimed.
"Call the doctor back." Kai demanded. "I'm not sick. I don't need his services." Mr. Dickenson looked doubtfully at the boy.
"Well, why don't we just have him come and do a check up, just in case."
"If I feel sick, I'll go to a doctor." Kai said, stubbornly. "I wouldn't want to waste the doctor's time with a stupid little check-up when he could have other patients to attend to." Mr. Dickenson sighed.
"Fine, glad to see you're doing fine." He left the room. Kai looked to the remaining people in his room. Max had a slight frown on his face, Kenny was yawning and fidgeting and Rei's expression was unreadable.
"I guess we'll be heading back to bed if you're okay." Kenny squeaked and both him and Max left the room. Max turned back and cast a doubtful glance at Kai before leaving the room.
"You can leave too." Kai exclaimed gruffly, trying to hint to Rei that he wanted some privacy.
"Why should I leave, this is my room, too, after all." Rei replied and fell back on his bed. He looked up at Kai and gave him a slight grin. "Plus, you're act might have fooled Max, Kenny and Mr. Dickenson, but you will never be able to fool me. I know there's something wrong with you, only because I was the one who found you. You were barely breathing and I almost couldn't find a pulse." Kai looked down at him and realised that nothing he did would deceive Rei. He sighed deeply and let go. His legs failed him and he collapsed to the floor. He smiled when he heard Rei yelp out in surprise.
"Kai!" he cried, softly and jumped up. Kai pulled himself up enough to lean against his bed with his legs crossed. "What do you need?" he asked sternly. Kai opened his eyes, which took a lot of effort on his part.
"Blood." He whispered. Rei's eyes widened before he settled on a confused look. "I... I'm a vampire. I need blood to survive." For a few minutes it looked like Rei was about to scoff disbelievingly, but he stopped and let Kai explain. Kai opened his mouth and let his fangs grow out. Rei found he had to sit down. He across from Kai with his back against his own bed.
"What about the sunlight? Aren't you supposed to hate it or something?" Rei asked, still trying to let it all sink in.
"Bull shit. None of the superstitions are true. Except that I have to drink blood once a month." Rei nodded then looked troubled for a moment.
"How are we supposed to get you some blood?" he asked.
"Well, I usually got it by breaking into the blood banks but now it's impossible."
"Why?" Rei asked. Kai picked up the old newspaper and tossed it at Rei. Rei read about the robbery and nodded.
"So, why don't you just ask for some?" he asked. Kai scoffed and glared at him.
"What do you say to them?" he asked. "Hello, can we have a pint or two? My friend is a vampire and he's a little short in his supply. Oh, no... He's perfectly friendly, wouldn't suck the blood from a fly." Rei crossed his arms and returned Kai's glare.
"What other choices do you have?" he asked. "Isn't there another way to get blood?" Kai pointed to his fangs. Rei's brows furrowed and he began to fidget with his hands.
"Have you ever killed someone for blood?" he asked. Kai held up his hands.
"Never."
"What happens to people when they're bitten?" Rei asked, avoiding Kai's eyes.
"They're either sucked dry and die, or are converted into vampires themselves." Kai explained. He pulled himself back onto his bed and sat with his back against the headboard. Rei got up from the floor, too, and sat beside Kai. He took his wrap and pulled it aside and leant his head to the side, exposing his neck to Kai. Kai blinked, unsure of what Rei was doing.
"Go ahead." Rei urged, leaning his neck a little closer. Kai leaned back in mock disgust, even though his stomach protested.
"No way." Kai stated simply. "I'm not doing to you what my grandfather did you me. He didn't even give me a choice." He didn't want to do that to Rei. Rei furrowed his brows and glared at Kai angrily.
"You need this blood and this is the only way for you to get it." Rei said. "You should know I'd do anything for you." Kai raised his eyebrows, surprised. He hadn't really thought that Rei would be willing to give up his life as a mortal for Kai.
"You shouldn't have to do this for me." He said sullenly and hung his head. Rei growled and forced Kai's head up so he could look Kai square in the face.
"I've never said 'bite me' and meant it, until now." Kai saw the certainty in Rei's eyes and at last hunger took control of his senses. He growled back and pulled Rei closer by grabbing his hips. Rei was straddling Kai's waist and waiting for Kai to sink his teeth in. Kai smirked and brought Rei's head down to his and placed a deep kiss on his lips. Rei opened his eyes in shock for a moment but melted into the kiss as he felt Kai's tongue force its way past his lips. He groaned into the kiss and brought his hands up to Kai's hair. He had never thought a kiss could arouse so much pleasure from somewhere deep inside of him. He felt Kai's hands move from his hips up to his sides and then to his back. Each touch sent fire up and down his spine.
Kai left Rei's mouth and began placing long, hard kisses along Rei's jaw line. Rei tilted his head back to allow Kai easier access to his neck. Kai moved slower and began tracing circles along Rei's skin with his tongue. He paused at a spot just next to Rei's collar bone and licked along the skin. He heard Rei moan softly and grasp tightly at his hair. Kai continued his kissing. Rei moaned once more before speaking up.
"What are you waiting for?" he whispered, breathless. Kai gave in to his vampire needs and bit down hard on Rei's neck. Rei cried out in pain at first and immediately felt weak. Kai kept rubbing the torn skin with his tongue while suckling the blood that was trickling out.
When Kai felt he had enough he lifted his head and Rei fell limp in his arms. He softly let Rei fall back to the bed, appearing to be dead. His skin was pale and his eyes were shot open. Although he felt fully energised again, Kai sighed. He saw the exact same thing happen to the first person he sank his teeth into.
When he was first turned he was overcome by the sudden urges he was experiencing and his grandfather told him to take one of the servants and so he did. The servant had taken several days to regain his strength and begin work again. He frowned wondering how long it would take Rei to regain consciousness. He stood up from the bed and went to the door. He slowly turned the lock, so no one would hear it and made sure the windows were sealed shut and the blinds were drawn. He went back to the bed where Rei lay and curled up beside him and fell asleep. He slept all day and no one thought to bother him or Rei.

Wow, I'm actually finished the first chapter. Now on to chapter two. Now as you can see, this is a lot more... erm... 'graphic' than my first Beyblade fic.
Please review it or e-mail me at [email protected] . I don't know when chapter two will be posted but it is done. When I've gotten past typing up chapter five I'll post it. I'm in the middle of four... and I'll tell you this, it gets a whole lot weirder.
