Bloody Lips

Lucky, Unlucky

The cold wind blew against me as I walked through the streets. I was on my way home from a quick errand, eager to get away from the cold. I've always hated the cold. It always seemed to get in between something. Between me and Reita, between the whole group. I hated it. It always gets in the fucking way. With Miyavi's inclined senses, he came to us with the news this morning.

" Thunderstorm will hit Kanagawa by tonight."

Because of that, I insisted on dropping by the grocery store tonight. Just a few drinks, snacks and coffee. Fewer people were in the streets now, unlike in Tokyo. Homesickness took over me, and I wondered when would we get back. Another breeze blew past, and I shivered. Not only because it was cold, but because that wind felt different. As if it was... something. Something that moved gracefully fast. I turned the corner and stopped in surprise. Has it always been this dark in this street? I don't remember... "Hello, love." a low, menacing voice said from behind me. I gasped, and my body was suddenly frozen. I willed my body to move, but it was paralyzed from head to toe. He moved in front of me, and I gasped as I saw his face. He was one of Gackt's companions, for sure. I could recognize him. If I remember correctly he was... Hiroto. "It's your lucky day, love." he whispered, his hand caressing my jawline. I felt him release his control over my body, and I collapsed hard against the cold pavement. My vision started swirling, and I was panting for breath. I heard a ghostly chuckle. Reita... I wanted to speak, but I couldn't. I was positive that Reita could hear me even if I was here, but my body felt weak and heavy. I felt Hiroto carry me in his arms before I fainted completely.

I woke up to a room. My vision was still blurry to see anything clearly. I could feel shackles on my wrists, and my hand flew to my head. I was still dizzy from whatever Hiroto did to me. I heard chains clanking together as I moved my hand, and the door suddenly opened. A tall figure came in, and it didn\'t take a genius to know who it was. "Ah, you're finally awake." He said in relief. He crouched down to my level and smiled. He caressed my face, and I looked away. I didn't like the way he touched me. It felt wrong because only Reita can touch me like that. "Don't worry. Your friends will be here any minute now." he assured. I glared at him in reply. If he was going to kill me, why not do it now? Why wait for the others to see it? "Kill me." I pleaded in a soft whisper. Gackt chuckled. "Not now, dearest. I haven't had my fun yet..." he murmured, his lustful eyes scanning my entire body as he licked his lips. It was uncomfortable. I feel naked, and it didn't feel right that he was staring at me like that.

The door opened with a loud bang, and I jumped in shock. "They're here." he whispered, seemingly amused. He stood up and faced the seven dark figures standing near the doorway. "You're a sick piece of work, aren't you?" Miyavi said. He was leading now, and not Kai. "As if taking Melody from me wasn't enough." Gackt laughed at his words. "I was merely doing my job, brother." "You lost the right to call me brother seventy years ago." Miyavi growled. His eyes glowed, and he looked different. For a moment there, he looked... like a vampire. They moved so fast that I couldn't see where it was all going. Five others joined Gackt, and they kept on fighting. They moved so fast that all I could see were shadows and blurs. "No!" I heard someone shout. I felt a cold hand at my arm, and I turned to see Gackt. He smiled devilishly before sinking his fangs into my wrist. Pain engulfed my wrist, and soon, my arm. I screamed in pain. This was different... the pain was worse than when Reita claimed me. I could feel the pain spreading to my shoulder. "Mao, get him!" I heard someone say. I couldnt recognize their voices anymore. "Aki... Aki, stay with me." I heard Reita's voice say as he held my hand tight. I couldn't answer him--the pain was too much. "Kai!" he called out. I saw Kai suddenly kneeling down beside him. "Fucking bloodline. Venom's too poisonous." Kai said. He took my wrist and wrapped something tight around the crease of my arm. "It won't stop." Reita said. My vision was fading now. "Reita... you're immune to venom." Kai reminded. Silence followed, aside from the snapping and crunching sounds from the far side of the room. "No." Reita breathed. "You can do it." "I can't. I'll kill her." "No, you won't. Do it Reita, or she'll be..." Kai didn't finish his sentence. I yelped as I felt the pain rise in my chest. "Reita, do it!" Kai commanded. I felt cold lips at my wrist, sucking roughly. The pain suddenly retracted. Most of the burning sensation was in my wrist now. "She's not gonna make it." Reita breathed. "Bite her." Kai said. "What?!" "I said bite her!" I flinched as the pain suddenly stung. "Fucking bite her, Reita!" Kai commanded. I gasped as my vision was completely out. I could hear the snapping and crunching sounds from the far corner of the room. I felt something warm hover over my neck, and a soft whisper. "Aki... I love you." I felt my eyes widen. HIs fangs sunk deep into my neck, and I gasped in pain. My senses were useless, for all I could feel was pain. I felt like my body was on fire. After what seemed like hours and hours of agonizing pain, I saw...

...light.
