Vampire Kisses

57: Kokichi

I smiled against his lips feeling at peace in that moment. It was nice to be able to mess around like this every once and a while, being able to forget the more dangerous issue at hand. The reality of the situation we are in is that Shuichi is a vampire...and I have been turned into a vampire and everyone and everything didn't seem simple anymore. We are being hunted by some dangerous people, and it's partially my fault for letting that man get so close to me. It makes me feel sick anytime I remember the time he was putting his hand around my neck...because he wanted to bite me he wanted to take the bond me and Shuichi have.

I clenched my fist and looked up as I grabbed onto my plate. I need to make sure this isn't dangerous for others...I need to make sure that the bond we have is solid, and that it will not be taken away by some outsider...who just wants it for his own benefit.

"Kokichi," Shuichi said, making me turn around with my eyes still furrowed. "What," I growled, making him flinch a bit before he moved his hands to grab onto my shoulders. I blinked a few times before my focus came back on him.

"Are you doing okay?" He asked tracing his hand over my cheek making me feel guilty about the random outburst earlier. "You seem tense, do you want to talk about it?" He asked. The offer sounded rather appealing, I can just tell him about my worries and it all gets better right? Wrong. I don't want him to feel guilty for any of this...I want to be with him and I'm going to stay by his side no matter what!

"Yeah..." I whispered moving over to the table before sitting down. He brought the plates over to the table and made sure to place one in front of me while the other was placed in front of his spot next to me. He moved his chair closer to my own so he was sitting next to me so our legs were touching.

"Okay, I won't pressure you or anything, just know I'm here for you," He said with his same kind smile. It made me wonder to myself if it was genuine. I mean I am good at telling when others are lying...but all these events seem way too convenient. I thought to myself as we started to eat. I moved my head to rest it on his shoulder. He breathed out and leaned his own on top of mine.

I hated the silence in between the both of us, but I think it made it feel a little more calm in a way. Sure I wasn't a big fan of the silence because it always seemed to remind me of how I felt so alone. But I can't say I dislike being able to just be in a room with Shuichi, even if it is in silence. It was still a nice feeling. Being able to know even if I wasn't actively talking or trying to keep him by my side, he was still there for him.

"Hey Koki," Shuichi said as I had finished up my food. I looked back at him and smiled before I noticed something behind him. What the hell? Is that a camera?

"Shuichi!" I called out before the camera seemed to have a red light on the top, they must be recording us!

"Kokichi, what is it?" He asked moving over to me before standing in front of me. I smiled at this but moved my arms around his waist. We might have to bolt out of this house if who I think is recording us is here already...

"Well well well," Some masked figure walked into the room. "I didn't expect the two of you to be in this house out of all the ones we checked," The figure said, making me feel even more confused. Who the hell is this man?! And he was looking for us? Does that mean he is the man that wants to steal our bond?!

"Don't come near him," Shuichi said, putting his hands up ready to fight. I moved one of my hands to his own as to tell him to calm down. "Oh you do have a feisty side Shuichi!" He exclaimed, making my eyes widen. Is this one of the members of DICE? Could it be Jodian? He was acting fairly suspicious before--

"You always know how to find the good ones huh boss?" He said removing his mask, making my heart stop in my chest.

Wait...oh my god! Riko! "It's nice to see you both still in tact!" He said with a laugh before another man walked in through the window in the living room. Shuichi tensed and I could tell he was giving into his urges to keep me safe...the urges the bond causes us to have when the other is in danger.

"Riko?" I called out before he removed his mask as the other man walked into the room throwing Jodian onto the floor. I felt overly confused by this. Every person from my organization swore to never break the code...no matter what, they would never seriously harm or kill another human being. "Bastard," I said behind my clenched teeth.

"Jodian?!" I called out, moving to help him up. Shuichi moved over with me and helped Jodian sit up.

"You didn't expect this, did you?" He said with a teasing smirk making me frown. "How could you?" I asked before the man from before came out from behind him. He quickly went to attack me but Shuichi got to him before he could get close to me. He punched him in the gut before following with another punch to the face. The man staggered back as Jodian slowly spoke from besides me.

"S-sorry...I exposed you...they told me they would get information on finding my girlfriend...but I guess I was wrong about that huh," He said with a small laugh before his eyes were fluttering closed. "You can't die on me!" I screamed, making Shuichi flinch a bit as the other two men slowly inched in towards us. Riko, I knew he was jealous of never being in the limelight...but I had no idea he wanted it this bad.

"Please please, oh god!" I yelled out again with tears pouring down my cheeks. Shuichi moved towards the other two men that were going to try to apprehend him to get to me...

"Just give us the boy and then you can go on with your night," The man said, making Shuichi flinch. "Riko, why the hell are you working with this man?! What's in it for you?" He screamed. Riko seemed unnerved by this.

"Oh?" He asked, spinning on his heel. "You really want to know~," He said in a more sadistic tone. I shuddered at this and looked up at him.

"Well, the beautiful Veronica knows how to keep her promises," He said with a smile as a blush came to his cheeks. Oh god...who the hell is this slut anyway?

"Get out of this house damnit!" I heard a boom from the other side of the room as Kyoko and Cathy came in through the door. "What makes you think that you can do that?" The man asked, making Cathy flinch.

"We have you surrounded, so if you are smart, you will leave or let yourself be turned in," Kyoko said with a dark glare. How did they know to come for us? I looked over at Shuichi and saw he looked as confused as I felt. What the hell?
