Vampire Kisses

41: Kokichi

"Shuichi! W-where are you?" I yelled as my eyes shot open. I couldn't see Shuichi anywhere and I had this terrible feeling of pain in my chest. A feeling like I lost Shuichi and he was going to leave me forever...I wanted to cry.

"Kokichi! What's wrong?" He asked, moving to my side. When he sat down on the bed I got into his lap and buried my face against his shoulder. The feeling consumed by my thoughts as I cried. Will Shuichi leave me? Is it because I'm only a human...and because he is a vampire I'm no longer interesting to him? Am I no longer needed?

"I just felt this feeling of shame and worry come over me...so I was worried that maybe-" He cut me off by placing his lips on my own. I was able to relax a bit at this. Shuichi is right here with me now, so those thoughts don't matter...they never did because we were destined to be together...even when we were kids we knew

"I would never leave you. I love you more than the air I breathe. I love you more than any of the stars that light up the night sky. You are my Kokichi, you are my everything." He said before gently kissing my cheeks, making me laugh a bit. He is so poetic at the most random moments. Honestly it makes me feel so much more loved than a simple I love you. I love how poetic my emo little ShuShu is~

"You are an emo poet under all that Shu~ I knew it~" I said in a teasing tone. He blushed a bit before kissing me again. I smiled against his lips feeling a smirk come to my lips soon after.

"I know you love it," He said before rubbing my shoulders. I almost blushed at the statement...but I was feeling so groggy all of a sudden. Maybe it's because Shuichi is here with me, or even because I was tired before this...

"Y-yeah you got me there," I said with a sigh. After I said this my eyes grew heavy again as I leaned closer to Shuichi..

"Tired?" He asked before I looked at him one more time before falling against him. I felt all my senses go into sleep as I calmed down. Shuichi is here with me, I'm here with him. We are in love and nothing can change that...he will be here for me as I will be here for him. I need to become a vampire so he doesn't have to worry about me all the time. Sadly enough, being a human puts me at a huge disadvantage when vampires are targeting me...so to protect myself I need to convince Shuichi to change me. I know he is going to feel guilty about it...especially if it's painful for me. I need to try my best to hide if it hurts because that is going to make it easier for him...because I know the idea of me changing into a vampire scares him. Just as if our bond was taken.

...

"You said you changed," She yelled again as he was on the floor picking up the pieces of his phone. "But I guess even I can fall for the same lie twice," She said before shoving a ring into his hand and leaving the house. She ran past the both of us and we ran after her. She eventually stopped in the middle of the forest and broke down into tears.

"WHY CAN'T ANYTHING TURN OUR GOOD FOR ME!" She said screaming into her hand. I felt the same pain in my heart from the idea of Kokichi leaving me for another...we are destined to be together, a bond is a sacred thing...but she is right some things are really just a lie.

Cathay soon took my hand again and brought me back into the hallway of the house. "Shuichi," She said, making me turn to face her.

"What is it?" I asked, seeing some tears in her eyes.

"You better be the best you can be for Kokichi, because without your bonded partner loving you...you feel broken all the time...so please," She paused, grabbing onto my shoulders.

"Take good care of him...and love him as he loves you," She said before moving away from me.

"Cathy," I called out to her. She stopped in her tracks but didn't turn to face me.
