Lust for Love or for Blood (Book 1)

The Pain

Shiro's pov.~

My speed increases at each step, bringing me further and further away from civilization. But I don't care. I only care for the screams that I had heard only a few minutes ago, but those screams have ceased now, and new fears ebb into my mind. He may have betrayed my feelings, but I still love that stupid strawberry.

'Why does he never listen to me!' The trees seem to grow ever denser every time I rise over a hill, damn trees! My anger starts to grow but stops at the sight of a run-down, cranky looking facility. For some reason, this facility smells like Ichigo. My nose crinkles for a second, but then it hits me. 'This is were Ichigo is! This is where I'll find him!'

Yeah. Find him dead.

A small nagging voice enters the back of my mind, but I push it away, too scared of it being true. Slowly, my feet carry me toward it, then faster and faster until I'm at the door. As I lift my hand to rip it open, I am pushed off to the side, hitting the ground with a loud 'thump!'

I gather my self, and look around for my attacker, but no one is around me; he may be hidden, but scent isn't, and I smell Ichigo on him.

"Bastard!"

I shoot off the ground in the direction of the smell, as my fist reaches the bushes, an arm shoots out with a syringe. At first I sneer, but realization dawns on me that what's inside it is lethal in large doses. I jump back just in time, and land with an angry huff; out of the bushes steps a strange man. Tall, handsome, and vampire.

"Finally! We were waiting for, like, ever," his voice is smooth as well, how cunning this vampire must be with his prey. But a small fear webs itself around my unbeating heart.

"Why do you smell like Ichigo?"

"Oh. You mean "pet"? That's because I had a little fun. I can see exactly why you like him so much. He's so vulnerable. One little touch," he makes a motion with his hand, "one little kiss, and one. Little. Taste. Can unravel him into senselessness," he licks his lips, but that's all I need to lunge at him in blind furry.

He must have planned this, because he side steps me easily, then plunges the syringe into my neck. I hiss and grit my grown out fangs, my vision slowly dispersing in little black dots.

Ichigo's pov.~

I wake to find that I'm still in the same room, still tied up like a puny hostage. I'm a hunter and a vampire! Why can't I get out!?

My internal screaming stops when Aizen walks in with Zero behind. Strangely, Zero is carrying a man over his shoulder. The man is wearing a red, zip up, sweatshirt, with a black jacket over that. his legs, covered with black jeans, and on his feet are a pair of black and white All stars. He looks normal on that note, but when you look at his facial features, nothing is normal.

"What is with that man?"

They look at me in surprise, but Aizen quickly smiles then ruffles my hair, I wince, but stay still for the most part, "This man is a vampire known as a Shiki. Knowing you, you wouldn't know what a Shiki was. Well my little one, a Shiki is a vampire decended from the very first pure blood. He may not be very smart, but he is strong. So we have to be careful."

"Careful," I am quite talkative even though I know I am being held against my will, but for some reason, I don't see why I don't want to be here with Aizen and Zero.

"That's right my "pet"," Zero sets the man on the ground, and chains his arms and ankles to the floor. His body is positioned so that he looks like he is sleeping on his knees, and his arms are out to their sides, hanging loosely as far as the chains will let them.

"Why are you chaining him? If he is dangerous, why not get rid of him?"

"That's because this is the man who turned you into a vampire, and he needs to pay."

My body tenses as Aizen tells me this. This man....turned me?

I look up at Aizen, my chocolate brown eyes round, "Why?"

"Because he is Shiro. And Shiro does what he wants, even if it means taking away an innocent boy's life," he rests his hand on my head, then he pulls on my hair, making my head hurt, "but you're not all that innocent, are you, Ichigo?"

He lets go of my hair as roughly as he had gripped onto it, making my head sway back. I am confused but let it go, my gaze lingering on the man known as Shiro.

His body starts to move just a little, then finally his head lifts slowly, looking around groggily. When his gaze passes over me, he stops, then tugs at his chains. His eyes.....they're so beautiful. A molten gold set in a sea of black; I've never seen anything like that. 

Wait. I think I might have seen that before, but where?

"Ichigo!" He pulls on his chains even more.

I don't know who he really is, but I speak to him, "I don't see why you're trying so hard to get over to me. You deserve to be there."

He flinches at my words, and stops pulling for a second, but starts up once again, "I don't care if you are mad at me for what I said. I'm going to get you out of here!"

"What you said? I havn't been with since you bit me. How could I be mad for more than what you did then if we havn't even talked?"

"What are you.."

"Don't you see Shiro," Aizen walks up behind me, and rests his hands on my shoulders, "he's ours now, and do you know why? It's because, Zero's venom inside this boy. But you see. If he ever truly loved you, he would still remember you."

"You damn bastards!"

Zero slaps him across the face, and with a disgusted face at that, "Vile creature."

Shiro hisses at him, and for the first time, I see his fangs; long, and a pure white. No matter how you look at him, he is just beautiful.

"Why is he a vile creature Aizen?"

Aizen looks down at me, and pets my head, "Because my little Ichigo. He turned you into a vampire...then he raped you."

My body freezes. All my thoughts of him being beautiful leave my mind; and as though to top it off, an image of him standing over me, taking away my innocence fills my head. I clench my eyes shut, feeling tears coming on.

"No! I did not! Ichigo! We made love, I would never, ever! Force you like that!"

I hear a loud smack, then Zero's words, "SIlence vile beast!"

Zero must hate him a lot, but, what he said, I feel as though it makes sense. I don't know what's going on!

All of a sudden, I feel my restraints loosen, then fall off. I open my eyes to find Zero picking me up, and leading my to the back of the room. Aizen is standing there, and he pulls a bed out from the wall; confusion fills me when Zero sets me on the bed on my back. He pulls out some cuffs, and cuffs my hands to the head board, then he reaches for my pants. I start to squirm, not wanting him any closer anymore; I know what he's going to do, and I don't want that!

Zero slaps me, making me go into a daze, taking advantage of this, he pulls off my pants and my boxers, tossing them to the side. Zero then leans in close to my ear, "This is going to hurt....a lot."

Aizen then pushes him out of the way, and towers over me, I start to squirm, but to no avail. My head tilts to where Shiro is screaming his head off, trying to break free.

Then came the excrutiating pain.
