Dusk To Dawn ( Tsusuku X Koichi)

Chapter 16 - Burning Flame

“That day, I loved and a forgotten flower blossomed,
That day, I knew love, just like a flame.

That day I loved opening the buttons of my heart,
Stealing glances at your profile.”

“Tsuzuku!!” His screams echoed through the place.

“Hold on my love, you’ll pull through this.” I spoke with tears in my eyes. Hizaki and Teru rushed in and out constantly obeying every order of mine. I had forgotten what it was like to transform into a complete immortal . My plan had worked but it was putting him in so much pain.

“It burns!” He called out holding onto me tight, that was the venom seeping through his veins. It had felt like a forest fire burning and spreading through your body. Breathing was hard , seeing became difficult, everywhere you touch seemed like it was on fire like yourself.

“It will be over soon, I promise.” I replied holding him close to me.

He just shut his eyes and nodded, yes speaking was kind of hard, shouting on the other hand was only way you could talk quickly.

“I want it to stop now!” He said his voice a little quieter now.

Then silence as the last of his heartbeat came to an end. I can't even describe how hard it was to turn him. My fangs in his skin, my lips inches away from tasting the blood I craved so much. I almost lost my aim, I-I almost thought about drinking him dry. Though I thought hard against that I  thought. Now I would no longer have that problem. A smile spread across my face at the thought of it.

All I need was let some venom from the tips of my fangs drip into his blood and that was it.

He was on the beginning of the road called ‘Forever’. Now his heart had stopped and his eyes were closed. In any second he would open them with a new bright red colour. I stayed close to him, my eyes never leaving him; waiting for that moment so I could be the first to see his reaction.

Moments later he opened his eyes, the bright red colour I had been expecting. He gasped an unneeded breath of air as he looked around. His senses adjusting to everything, it's a whole new way of life.

“Tsuzuku?” He spoke my name only to see me smiling up at him.

“Right here.” I spoke.

“W-what happened? There was nothing but darkness and then burning… a lot of it.” He sighed as he said as he spoke the last part.

“I turned you. Your a vampire now.” I answered nothing but the honest truth.

“You turned me…” He repeated my own words with a tint of sadness in his voice.

I watched him as he got up and walked to the tinted windows and looked out at the sunny day outside. I heard him sigh once more, a deep sigh. Before he turned and looked at me and then lurched  himself at me, pinning me to the wall.

“What the hell Tsuzuku, why the hell did you do that?!” His grip was tighter, stronger than mine; normal for a newly transformed vampire.

“I wanted to solve all our problems and turning you seemed like perfect solution.” I replied pushing him off me lightly.

“Except you forgot the fact performing in daylight is my thing, it was my job, the one that kept me happy besides you and you took that away from me!” He sighed with anger more probably frustration.

Then it came back to me, every moment I had watched him before we met was in the shadows while he performed in pure daylight. I remembered how I felt, how I had hated myself for not being able to meet him sooner. If you look at the bigger outlook of it; the problem wasn't him, it was me. Yet I couldn't change what happened to me centuries ago and I had changed what I do. Damming another soul to the darkness. That's when I realised my mistake, an action done without asking for permission, happy thoughts turned into a sad reality. On the truth factor of this our species were made to kill each other and yet we had gone against nature and this was my punishment for thinking there was a way out. A more tragic story than Romeo and Juilet; they died and their sorrow ended, while my loves sorrow and my regret would last for an eternity.

“I am sorry my love. Please forgive me for foolish and dumb mistake I have made without your concent. I will do anything to make you happy again.” I spoke falling onto my knees in front of him.

He looked down at me with dull red eyes that looked well in contrast with his pretty pink hair. A smile played on his lips fading and then reappearing from time to time as ideas came and left his mind.

“How are you going to bring back something that is too far gone, too far lost?” He asked looking down at me as he went on sat on the bed once more.

“I will find a way to make sure your able to perform your perfect melody again. I will anything.. J-just don't leave me.” I muttered the last words my eyes looking down at the carpet below me.

I heard his footsteps come towards me as he kneeled down in front of me. He lifted my chin with his finger so I was looking straight at him. His red eyes that seemed like they would see into my deep dark soul, a soul lost without him.

“I would never leave you.” He spoke moments before crashing his lips against mine. It took me by surprise but I wasn't going to complain.

He was stronger, faster and no more needed the need for air to fill his lungs. Minutes blended into one another as somehow we had made it back to the bed again. I was wrapped up in my sheets with nothing else as I sat up and looked around. I saw him sitting by the window in light of the moonlight looking out at the night sky. Slowly but ever so surely coming to acceptance of what he had become.

If was to be the king of darkness and then he would become my queen.
