Let Me Love You

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Please excuse my writing, I haven't had enough practice.

Chapter Thirteen - Distraction

"Kaname!" Yuuki moaned in ecstasy.

Her thighs tightly gripped together around her lover as he plunged into her deep core. She yelped in pleasure as he hit a sensitive spot in her nether regions. His strong hands were on her hips, while her hands were planted behind her on the table, supporting her body as he rocked his hips into hers. The antique table beneath them was squeaking, but they paid no heed, lost in each other's warmth. They don't know how much time they had already spent and were feeling strains on their muscles but didn't mind, and just kept going.

xoxoxox

"Harder," Ruka begged as she held on to the headboard with Akatsuki sliding in her from behind.

She tried her best to hold her place in order to meet with Akatsuki's forceful thrusts. Akatsuki had always liked it rough, and so did she. They were both breathing haggardly as they continued with their lovemaking, a fine sheet of sweat covering their bodies making gliding easier. Ruka moaned loudly when Akatsuki pounded into her, directly hitting her spot along with his thrusts.

xoxoxox

"Kaname," Yuuki sighed. "I—"

He crashed his lips onto hers, interrupting her, already knowing what she was about to say. And as soon as she responded to his kiss, his hands immediately clawed at her hips. He gripped her flesh tightly in his hands and started to ram himself into her. Yuuki moaned deeply and tried to meet her hips with his. But Kaname held her still and thrust himself harder and faster, earning another muffled scream from her lovely lips.

xoxoxox

"Ruka," Akatsuki groaned.

"Yes?" she replied weak with pleasure.

As soon as Akatsuki leaned down, his face next to hers, she knew what he needed and nodded her head to make her permission clear. He lapped at the skin on her shoulder, still gliding into her then bit roughly. Ruka let out a loud moan making his feeding more pleasurable.

xoxoxox

He let his lips wander from her face to her neck, never breaking his tandem. He so loved the sound of Yuuki whimpering and moaning underneath him. He couldn't control himself anymore; he wanted to taste her blood on his tongue again. So he bit her neck, receiving an ardent sigh from Yuuki, and fed once more from his very own fountain of life.

xoxoxox

He drank the blood greedily from her body, feeling the pleasure she felt from his bite and his groin. He reached under her belly and found her swollen nub; he gave it a pinch and was enamored with her reaction. He started to rub it in circles, adding more and more pressure and gradually increasing the speed. He let her shoulder free from his fangs once he heard her gasp. Then he firmly placed his other hand on her back while rubbing maddening circles on her clit and drove himself inside her faster.

xoxoxox

Her feelings were as deep as his and this thrilled him like no other. He could feel that she was close to her climax. Knowing that he too could hold no longer, picked up his pace and was eagerly rewarded with another loud moan from Yuuki; he pushed himself harder inside her, then with another clasp of her thighs, they both reached the end.

xoxoxox

She was practically screaming from the intensity of their lovemaking, and he found it so fulfilling to please his lover like this. He pressed his fingers harder on her nub, and felt the release they were both so desperate to reach.

xoxoxox

I love you...

Meanwhile, in the living room at the foot of the stairs, was one lone vampire, desperate for an excuse to leave the mansion. He was by himself sulking; there was no other to spend the time with since Takuma decided to stay with Shiki. Such erotic happiness, he was not able to understand, for he who has not yet found a lover had never experienced it. Sure, he used to drink from humans he had entranced and had also indulged in the feeling of sex. But had never felt the way his friends felt before.

They sounded so happy, satisfied and peaceful. He envied them in a way, but couldn't blame them for being so natural. Just because he's lonely, it doesn't mean that he had to make everyone around him suffer. He stretched on the sofa he was lying on and sat up. He took one last gulp to finish the chalice of diluted blood tablets on the table. He left it there, and walked to the door, thinking of going away to town for a moment, it was very clear to him that the people in the mansion weren't planning on stopping anytime soon.

He took his coat from the hanger then slipped into it and opened the door. It was already sundown he observed. He took Akatsuki's car, sure that he wouldn't mind, if there was anyone in that house that would know how much Aidou needed to escape, it would be Akatsuki. He pressed the pedal as far as it could go and sped off. Within half an hour of driving swiftly, he was beginning to see some buildings.

He was almost near a town. Just beyond the entrance, he felt compelled to take a turn, to a nearby barn. What's peculiar is that the barn was already abandoned. Signs of age and debris could be found just outside one of the cattle houses. He slowed down, staring at the place carefully, asking himself why he went here. The town was in the opposite direction, he rolled down the window to get a better gander, but as soon as he did a familiar scent invaded his senses.

Blood.

He got out of the car immediately just about a mile away from the barn. He was starting to wonder why would there be a trail of fresh blood in this abandoned area. He could sense that there was trouble afoot. It looks like he got himself a distraction after all.

He ran as fast he can, maybe it was one of those cases that they've been investigating. He got to the entrance, and the smell of fresh blood wafted over his face. Judging by the smell, he could tell that it probably belonged to a man. He walked around, senses on high alert at the sense of danger. He could sense three vampires around, but another of a human, still alive. But the presence of other vampires washed away the essence of the human.

He leaped into the air quietly, Level E vampires are not as dumb as they seem. They probably already know of the presence of a higher class vampire. He followed the scent of the blood; he guessed that the creatures were probably feasting on the corpse right now.

He was hiding behind a shack when he found the source, he could see a man in his thirties, lying on the ground already dead, but only died recently he observed as the blood rushed from the corpse. Two vampires were sharing the body, which means that the other one is hunting for the other human.

CLACK

The noise came from inside the shack, about half a mile from where the vampires fed. And immediately they stopped, and glanced where the sound came from. They stared with beady red eyes, still hungry, and their mouths drooling with saliva at the knowledge of another meal coming their way as soon as they hunt it.

Hanabusa acted as quickly as possible, as soon as the vampires ran toward the shack, he froze them at just the right moment and destroyed them, easy enough for one of his pedigree. He ran towards the shack, opened the door loudly, to see a shadow of a girl with a pistol in her hand, the pistol pointing toward him.

"It's okay," Aidou started in a reassuring tone. "I'm not here to hurt you."

"A-" the girl stammered. "Aidou-sempai?" She asked, astonished.

This came as a surprise to Hanabusa too. As the figure walked further into the light, he saw her face. And then, realization hit, it was none other than Sayori Wakaba.

"It's you!" He exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

"Um," she stuttered.

"Let's talk about that later, we might still be in danger."

"Aidou-sempai!" She screamed and pointed behind him.

It was a little too late, for the vermin had already pierced his chest with his claws, driving it deep enough to slice his heart. Aidou gurgled in pain but fought it, as he made an icicle from the tip of his finger and forced it through the head of the vampire that assaulted him. The vampire screeched loudly as he fell to pieces on the ground, leaving nothing but ashes.

Aidou fell to his knees, blood flowing from his chest, he breathed in deeply trying to make himself heal faster. But even without a vampire weapon, once your wound is deep to the heart, it would take so much longer to heal, and so much blood.

"Aidou-sempai," Yori said as she began to approach him. "I'm so sorry, this is my fault."

Aidou held his hand up, stopping her from moving any closer. He doesn't need this type of temptation especially after getting wounded. He struggled to lean himself on the door to relax, and dug in his pockets. He looked for the little box that held the tablets to cure him, but didn't find it in his pocket. Then he remembered that he left it on the table beside the chalice he had drunken from.

"Shit!" He cussed.

"Aidou-sempai, are you alright?" Yori asked; her voice laced in worry.

"I'm fine." He muttered. "I just need to get home."

He was lying and she knew it. She could tell the exact difference just by looking at him. He looked extremely fatigued and out of breath, his skin looked a lot paler than a while ago, and the circles under his eyes had become deeper and slightly purple. She started, when Aidou tried to get himself up on his feet; he was now standing, but his back was still glued to the old door.

"Let me at least help you." Yori ran to his side and supported him.

"No need," he said icily as he shoved her hand away.

He fell immediately, along with the force of his hand, landing him in Yori's arms. Yori cradled him without any difficulty, he seemed weaker already. She pulled him along inside the shack and sat him down gently.

"Please don't waste your energy anymore." She crooned. "It wouldn't be of any help."

"I said I was fine." Aidou spat, trying to hold his self together.

Before he could make another comment, Yori placed her hands on his cold, clammy cheeks and lifted his face up to stare at him.

"It's ok, I have what you need." Yori whispered gently.

For a second, Aidou thought that Yori was carrying tablets with her. But much to his dismay, he realized what she was talking about when she pulled his face closer to her neck.

"No," Aidou panted, gritting his teeth together.

"If you don't drink, you'll die." She said gently but firmly as she pulled his face closer. "Fresh blood will heal you completely, right?"

"I can't," he hissed biting his cheeks, his eyes glowing scarlet with thirst.

"Aidou-sempai, please," Yori begged, this time she straddled his waist and moved her head so that his lips were touching the skin on her neck.

"Please," she whispered again.

And that was all it took as Aidou bit into her neck slowly, trying as best as he could not to scare her. Her legs quivered and gave out as soon as his fangs pierced her skin, so now she was completely straddling him, her hips resting on his. It didn't really feel painful; it felt quite nice to her.

She felt Aidou's hand cradling her back, pulling her closer to him, his strength regaining little by little as he drank slowly from her. She tasted so pure, probably a virgin, with a hint of flavor resembling honey, much like her scent. She gasped when she felt Aidou, rubbing small circles with his hand on her thigh, surprised by the sudden contact, but made no move to push him away. Instead, she found herself subconsciously lacing her fingers through his hair, her other hand resting on the back of his neck.

Was it really this ecstatic to have a vampire feed on you? She asked herself.

Aidou held her tighter to him, their crotch rubbing against each other, earning a weak moan from Yori. She could feel something building up in the pit of her stomach. He could already feel the effects of fresh human blood; he could feel his wound patching up. He took one last gulp from her then released her; he licked at the puncture wounds on her neck gently. Yori shivered as she held back a groan.

He stopped licking, as soon as her wound stopped bleeding. Then, he carefully pulled Yori away from him; her hands felt like jelly as they slithered from his neck to his body. He looked at her dazed expression, her half-lidded eyes, her flushed cheeks, her slightly gaped lips, and for the first time, he considered that Yori looked sexy.

"Are you okay?" she breathed.

"Yes, thank you," he blushed slightly, clearing his throat a little. "How about you? I'm sorry I took so much."

"Well, I do feel a bit woozy."

"Yes, I heard that losing blood could do that to you." Aidou said sarcastically, teasing her.

Yori's lower lip jutted out in a pout, which he found adorable and him laugh.

"What's so funny?" Yori asked; her frustration reduced due to her weakness.

"This was the reason why I never wanted you to come near me in the first place." He replied in an I-told-you-so tone.

"Well, if I hadn't persuaded you to drink my blood then you wouldn't be alive right now." She snorted. "It's as if I could carry you to who-knows-where-you-live."

That silenced him for a moment. They both sat still in place, with Aidou cradling Yori's limp body in his. They were both trapped in an awkward silence. None of them were expecting some thing like this to happen, so neither one of them knew how to progress from this state onwards.

"Um," Aidou paused. "I think I should send you home." Yori didn't even argue with him; she was exhausted. "And I believe you owe me an explanation as to why you're here."

He carried her effortlessly in his arms and started to walk to the car; both were silent through the ordeal until Aidou placed her gently on the passenger seat. Once he had her buckled, he made his own way to his seat and revved the engine.

"So," he started. "Why were you in this kind of place again?" He asked; he waited for a full minute before Yori could reply.

"Remember when I told Yuuki-chan that I was a member of the association?"

"What? You mean you're a hunter now?" He asked incredulously.

"No," she whimpered. "Not exactly, I was assigned on desk jobs at first. But all of us undergo SOME kind of training, in case of emergency."

Aidou remained silent, waiting for her to finish.

"I've been to shooting practices, and became very good at it." She looked away, embarrassed that he might argue with her remark, but to her surprise nothing came but silence, so she continued.

"So, um, this area right here, it's supposed to be an easy training ground. Vampires like them usually like to be alone, since they view each other as competition when it comes to mealtime." She breathed. "So it really took us by surprise when we found four of them there."

Aidou lifted an eyebrow at her.

"Kumi-san was able to dispatch of the first one." She looked down, remembering pain. "But he never had the chance when two others jumped at him. He told me to hide, but the nearest place I could get my legs to was the shack." She swallowed back the tears about to rise from her eyes. "I had to watch how they murdered him from my spot; I just couldn't seem to look away."

"It's okay," Aidou said. "You don't have to say anymore. I'm sorry I made to tell me such a story."

"Thank you, Aidou-sempai, for saving me." She looked at him with earnest eyes. "I'm in great debt to you."

The look in her eyes seemed to pull him in, but he shook it off quickly as he made a turn.

"Well, I don't think you need to pay much, since you also saved my life." He paused for a moment. "Thanks again."

Yori just smile weakly at her.

"Um, so," Aidou blabbered. "Do you still live in Cross Academy?"

"Yes." She whispered, the tiredness could easily be read from the tone of her voice. "I still occupy the room Yuuki and I used to share." At the sound of Yuuki's name her lips pulled up into a smile as she reminisced the good times they had together. "But now, I have the whole room to myself. Richijou told me I could."

"Then you should take a nap since it's a long drive there."

He turned to face her only to find out that she has already fallen asleep. He smiled to himself, as he drove slowly to Cross Academy.

"Thanks for driving me home." Yori said, smiling at him.

"You're welcome."

Yori unbuckled her belt and was about to leave when Aidou grabbed her hand.

"What is it?"

"Just be still." He commanded.

Then, very carefully, he leaned in close to her, his lips almost touching the skin of her cheek. He inclined his head a bit more so that his lips were nearly at her neck. Yori did as she was told and did not move; she was also wondering what he was going to do but thought better not to question him.

With the gentlest of pressure, she could feel his lips press to the bite mark on her neck. The contact made her feel strange; she felt warm all over the feeling of his lips on her skin ignited her from within. She could feel that lump building at the pit of her stomach again. She gasped when she felt him lick her neck lightly, then ever so slowly, he pulled away from her.

She placed the tips of her fingers to the bite mark on her neck and found that it had already been sealed. She stared at him, shocked, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"I couldn't let you go in there with mark like that, can I?" He smirked. "Or else people would be suspicious, especially those from the association."

"Thanks." She muttered, still embarrassed as she opened the door.

The Aidou did something that he himself hadn't expected at all. He suddenly found himself pulling Yori's hand again. But this time, he held her close to his body, then, without warning, he planted a soft kiss on her lips. He didn't feel her hesitate, so he gave her another one, this time he locked his lips with hers.

He heard Yori moan into the kiss, which only enticed him more. He licked her bottom lip, trying to get it open, and once she granted him access, he slid his tongue gently inside. Yori felt herself shiver and sighed; she never knew a feeling like this ever existed. And like what she did before, she threw her arms around his neck, while Aidou started to run his hands on her back, creating soothing circles that seemed to fuel the fire even more.

He needed to stop, or else this little encounter might end up into something even more. So he pulled his lips away from hers gently, his forehead resting on hers, the two of them out of breath. Then he gently pushed her away from him, still staring into her eyes. He couldn't help but notice that her lips have become a little swollen from their kiss, and he felt the need to do it again, but stopped himself for her sake.

"I'm sorry for attacking you like this." He said.

"It's okay, I didn't hate it." Yori murmured, looking away, her face red. "I guess I should go now." She finally said, and stepped out of the car.

"You know," Aidou said he peeked up at her. "I could take you to Yuuki sometime. I'll ask her if I can bring you to the mansion."

"Really?" Yori asked, extremely delighted, her eyes suddenly brightening at the thought of meeting her best friend once again.

"Yeah, I'm sure she'd love to see you too."

"Thank you so much Aidou-sempai!"

"I'll come pick you up on a Saturday."

"I'll be looking forward to it."

She waved at him as he rolled up the window, then turned her back to him and climbed the stairs to the main gate of Cross Academy. Aidou made sure she entered the gates before he left; he wasn't really sure why he was so worried about her. But he was certain of one thing; he's highly interested in her.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: I am SO sorry if ever you might find that the plot is getting more twisted, in a weird way. It's getting very difficult to write, since the manga is not yet finished. It's getting harder and harder to predict as the manga progresses.

So, maybe I'm afraid that I might write something that isn't really appropriate among my readers, like the fact that I made Takuma stay with Shiki, while in the manga he sticks to Sara. So I guess I'm saying that I might cut this story short, you know? Just to end it, but I won't be leaving it unfinished.

Thanks for reading!
