Disclaimer: I own only my thoughts This is fictional none of this is true. (only in my mind)


For the whole week Ohno has spent every night with Sakurai in his bed chambers, every morning he would close Sakurai's curtains blacking out the room and close Sakurai canopy bed curtains making sure no sunlight would touch his vampire. Leaving the vampire chambers Ohno nodded to the guard that was posted at his door during the day. Returning to his room Ohno began to change his clothes to his gardening clothes. Nino saw him changing as he was waking up also from spending the night with Masaki. “What are you doing Oh-chan? It's too early to do any duties.” “I want everything to be done early so I can be with Sho tonight.””You have been spending every night with him Oh-chan I'm starting to feel lonely in here.” “I'm Sorry Nino I don't get to spend time with him during the day and I only have just the few hours with him at night.” Nino got up and walked over to his friend hugging him from behind. “I know Oh-chan I don't mean to make you feel bad.” Ohno turned into the hug hugging Nino back with an tight embrace. “It's OK besides how can you feel lonely when you have the wolf all night last night.”

Nino pulled away looking at Ohno shyly. “It's not what you think Oh-chan we only talked. He doesn't come here to our room.” “What do you mean I thought you two was...You know...” Nino smacked Ohno on the shoulder. “Oh-chan just because you do it doesn't means...” Ohno eyes widen “Nino are you still a vir..” Nino slapped his hand over Ohno's mouth quickly so he didn't finish. It was only just the two of them in the room but it was still embarrassing for him to hear it out loud from his friend mouth. “I thought you and Ariki-chan from the village...” Nino shook his head “She rejected me when I tried to kiss her, told me she didn't want just a mere farm boy.” “Oh Nino I'm so sorry I knew how much you liked her.” “What about you, wasn't you going to marry the Suzuki- san daughter? He was so trying to persuade you to his daughter every time he took you fishing.?” “I know. But when we had that date something was off, I didn't feel like I belong with her, something was missing in my life.” “Something thing like the vampire?” Ohno blushed and Nino didn't have to ask anymore.

Sitting back down on his futon Nino asked “So you will be with him tonight again?” “Yes.” “Then I will ask Masaki to come to our room tonight.” Nino blushed at the wide eyes Ohno was giving him. “Seriously? Tonight? Don't force yourself Nino... You love him right? Then it should be OK.” Nino nodded before laying back down. Ohno left to go out to do his duties in the garden.

What Ohno was not expecting was a young boy who looked like he was only 14 or 15 years old in his garden tending to it. “Who are you? And what are you doing in my garden?” The young boy jumped in fear. He turned around and bowed down to the ground. “I'm sorry my Lord you scared me..” Ohno was shocked and confused at the term used at him. “You must be mistaken I'm not the Lord and your in my garden who are you?” “My name is Chin my Lord... I was brought from the pantry and was told this would be my new duties starting of today.” “What! Where's Aya?” “She's in the greenhouse my Lord.” Ohno left immediately for the greenhouse he was upset and confused as to why he was removed from his duties without notice. Ohno opened the glass doors almost slamming it into the wall behind it. “Aya!...Aya! Where are you?” Aya came running from behind a very large plant that could double has a tree. “Yes my Lord my I help you?” Ohno stopped in his tracks Aya too was calling him a Lord. “Why is everybody calling me Lord and who is that guy in my garden doing my duties?” Aya froze she was not prepared to answer the questions that was directed towards her. But a familiar voice was heard and Ohno was shocked to see a pair of green eyes coming from around the same plant Aya was behind. “He is to replace you in the garden my Lord.” Masaki said “What?...Why?...” Was all Ohno could say, he thought Masaki was together with Nino, they was suppose to be in love with each other. Why was Masaki here with Aya in the greenhouse alone together. “You are now a Lord of this castle. You are the lover of Sakurai aren't you? So the lover shouldn't be doing slave work. It was Sakurai orders to replace you as the gardener.” Ohno's heart felt like it was crashing and burning. “Why didn't he tell me?” “That is something you have to ask him.” Masaki said as he started to walk past Ohno.

“And what about Nino?” Ohno had to ask if anything he was not going to let Nino get hurt he's been through too much. “What about him?” Masaki stopped and turned to Ohno. “Nino is in love with you and I find you here with her. I thought you loved him too or at least cared for him.” Ohno turned and stared the wolf in his eyes. It was not wise to stare a canine in the eyes dog nor wolf. But Ohno felt protective over Nino. “What is between me and Nino is just that between us.” “Not if I have something to say about it I will not have him hurt.” Ohno hissed before he left the greenhouse. Ohno walked into the castle heading for his room hoping to see Nino. But unfortunately Nino was already gone. Ohno headed toward the kitchen thinking Nino got an earlier start just like him. Entering the kitchen he saw one of the head chefs cleaning up the left over remains of breakfast. “Ah... Genji Where's Nino I need to talk to him.” He's down in the pantry my Lord serving breakfast.” Ohno shivered at the thought of being called Lord again. “Thank you.”

When Ohno reached just outside the entrance of the pantry he could hear faint talking. He heard Nino serving out the food with a fake smile in his voice. He knew Nino didn't like his duties but he did them anyway with a heavy heart. What Ohno heard next was something that made his heart bleed. “You is a traitor to your own race. You and Ohno. How can you call yourself humans? Garbage your nothing but garbage. Kissing and laying with monsters. Ohno sleeping with that vampire and you laying with dogs!” The sound of someone spitting was heard and Ohno peeked his heard through the door just in time to see an middle age man spit at Nino. Ohno was about to rush in but stopped when he saw Masaki grabbed the man by his throat and slung him against the wall. Masaki fangs was pushing through his gums and his ears was spreading up into points. His nails which now looked like large black claws rose up and came down across the face of the man leaving four claw marks that blood oozed out down the mans face leaving him blinded from the color red. Nino didn't even bother to wipe the spit off. But he begged for Masaki, “Please No Masaki...Please stop.” Masaki turned and he saw the pain in Nino's eyes and the spit that was on his left cheek. Masaki lifted the man high above his head with his right hand cliched around his throat and threw him across the room. “Akita take him to the dungeon he will be punished.”

As the guard took the man Masaki walked up to Nino wiping the spit off his cheek with a clean yellow cloth. “I'm sorry Nino. I will talk to the Master about moving you from here.” Nino nodded he wanted to lay his head on the wolfs chest and cry but he didn't want anymore people to see that the man was right. He was a traitor to his people, not by choice, he's a slave just like everyone else but he was in love with one of his en slavers. Turning, Nino was heading out but stopped when he looked up and saw Ohno watching the whole thing. Nino ignored Ohno and continued to walk passed him refusing to lift his head. Masaki stopped at Ohno “The whole reason I was out in the greenhouse was for Nino's sake. I was asking if Aya had room to place him out there. Nino can not be in the kitchen anymore not after this. Especially after this.”

Ohno felt guilty for thinking that Masaki was using Nino playing with him. But it was evident that the wolf really do care for Nino. “I'm sorry for doubting you... How long has Nino been like this? The people how long have they been calling him a traitor?” “Come I think we shouldn't talk down here.” Masaki directed Ohno out of the pantry and back up into the castle's kitchen. “Nino says he is OK with it after we talked that day in the kitchen but it's not true. He just can't handle seeing the faces of the people he use to know and lived with be eaten by the Master.” Masaki said handing Ohno a goblet of cider. “Thank you... But Nino told me just the week of last when you confessed to him of your feelings that you talked and he was OK with it you made him think about it more.” “Yes I did I explained to him it was the same if he was back on his farm and tending to his livestock, but it's not enough Nino is fragile and he's angry. It's just a matter of time before he snaps and I'm trying to help him before he does.” “I'll do what I can to help him too, I've been so consumed by Sakurai that I just didn't pay Nino any attention.” “Thank you my Lord, I'm going to go find Nino.” Masaki bowed and Ohno blushed “Stop calling me that. I be looking for Sakurai when I here that just call me Ohno.” “Very well...Ohno.”

Masaki left on the trail of Nino's scent. Ohno left to go back to his room to wait for his creature to awaken. While he was waiting and had nothing to do sense his duties was taken by the new boy from the pantry Ohno pulled out some paper from Nino's side of the dresser chest and started drawing. At first he drew his creature's face of the first time he saw at the cell of Matsumoto castle. Lost annoyed angry eyes was drawn first. There was no smile on those thick lips. And the borrows was heavy with thought. His next drawing was of Sakurai and it was when the vampire had come to his room to apologize for the promise he couldn't keep towards his family. This creature eyes was more sad and worried than the ones before. They was almost full of tears when he finished lining and shading them in. The lips seemed to be trembling on the paper when he finished running his fingers over the lines smoothing the edges out. That night there was a small urge to kiss his creature's lips but he didn't so he thought nothing is stopping him now. Ohno laid his soft lips on the drawn lips of his creature and smiled when he pulled back.

The next one was of Sakurai, his eyes dark and evil. There was no soul behind those eyes. And the lips was pulled back showing off his fangs in razor sharp points. This was the night Sakurai showed the monster that he was to the wolf who killed his family and betrayed the crest of Sakurai. Ohno didn't want to ever see that side of Sakurai again. He made a silent vow to make sure that his creature will always be happy. Ohno drew one more picture of the vampire, it was when he spent his first night with him. Losing his virginity and the first time they said they loved each other. Ohno stared at that drawing for quite awhile.

Putting aside Sakurai's pictures he took in a deep breathe and began to draw his family. It was the last time he saw them alive, at their breakfast table talking and laughing. His sister was supposed to go off to stay with her future husband that weekend but yet she was sold off to another vampire that day. Ohno drew many pictures of his mother and father laughing and kissing each other. There was one he drew with them in their living room and in his memories behind his mother was an chest on the book shelf on the outside of the chest was the crest of Sakurai. Ohno took a good look of the picture and a wet spot dawned onto it. Ohno was shedding tears the crest was right in plan view so the wolf had to have seen it. It was just hatred towards humans and murder of his family. He will never forgive those wolves involved. He feels a little hateful to Masaki even thou he was not part of the other wolfs actions just the fact he is a wolf bothers him sometimes, if it wasn't for Nino being in love with the wolf Ohno would flat out hate him for being one.

Nino, was the last drawing he was working on. Lately he hasn't spent time with his best friend so he's not sure what Nino is feeling right now, so he drew Nino when he was the most happiest he seen him and it was hard to choose when that was. Nino was so happy working in the fields training his horses pre-vampires and wolves and then there was post vampire and wolves when Nino fell in love with Masaki. The smile Nino had on his face was the same one when he was with his horses. Ohno choose to draw Nino post vampire and wolves, with Masaki behind him wrapping his arms around Nino's shoulders. Ohno was so engross in his drawings that he did not notice that it was becoming dust out. When he no longer could see without light he quickly got up and almost ran to the vampire bed chambers.

Ohno enter the room lighting a candle so he could see in the pitch black room. Pulling the curtains open to let in the dim light of dusk, Ohno turned to the bed he as known for the past week. He pulled back the canopy curtains on each side tying them to the post. Ohno removed his shoes and shirt and climb in the bed with the sleeping vampire. He laid his head on the vampire chest listening to the breaths and feeling the vampire chest rise and fall with each. “Satoshi my love.” Was heard a few minutes later. Ohno lifted his head smiling to his creature, Sakurai eyes was dark as the night to come and Ohno knew it meant that the vampire was hungry for blood. “I'll call for someone to come... for feeding.” Ohno lifted off Sakurai's chest but was pulled back down. Ohno's heart raced for only a beat or two. “Satoshi fear not, no matter how hungry I will become I will never feed of you my love.” “I know...It's just sometimes you look... I forget that your a vampire and you need blood for food till the very last second. But I know you will not hurt me.” “Never, But Satoshi there is something we must discuss.” “Yes, I do need to talk to you too.” Sakurai titled his head before sitting up allowing the blanket to fall off his naked chest.

Ohno had to turn away and take a very deep breathe to control the urge to not attack the vampires chest with his lips and tongue. “Satoshi? Is there something wrong? I can feel that you are worried.” Ohno pulled himself up and back to the headboard where Sakurai was on his left. “Today a lot of things happened that I was not being aware off.” “Such as?” “Today I wanted to start my duties early and I found a boy in my garden, you had him replace me...Why?” “You are not a servant,slave or food, you are my lover my soul mate. And I don't want you to be treated like one, my home is your home also.” “But that leaves me with nothing...” “No that's not true, I know you have done something that you loves dearly to your heart and it is something you haven't done in a very long time.” Ohno was shocked how did Sakurai know he was drawing if the vampire can't read his thoughts. The confused look on Ohno's face made the vampire chuckle “Ninomiya.. his in your room right now and I heard him, he saw the drawings. He's happy that you are drawing again and he loves the one of him and Masaki.” Ohno left the room so quickly to see Sakurai he forgot again about Nino and guilt started to fill his heart yet again.

Sakurai senses this and lifts Ohno chin before pressing his lips to his very gently “Tell me.” “It's Nino... I've been neglecting our friendship this past days and today I saw something that I wished he never had to experience.” Sakurai sat straight and turned to Ohno “What happened?” Ohno can feel that his creature is beginning to become upset and he vow for it not to happen again. “Please Sho don't be that monster again.” Ohno reached for Sakurai's cheeks his eyes pleading into the darker ones. “Satoshi if something has upset you I can not promise that I will be able to control myself. So please tell me what happened between you and Nino.” Ohno sighed “It wasn't something between us but with one of the people in the pantry. They called him a traitor and spit at him, I was about to step in but Masaki protected Nino. I'm grateful that he has someone to do that. But I've been here with you and I never knew Nino had these problems going on inside of him.” “Do you wish to return to your room at night to be with him.” “No, but I would like to spend more time with him during the day.” Sakurai folded his arms thinking. “What do you think we should do to get Nino out of the ill feel he's in?”

Ohno had to think also and he was brought back to the decision he had to choose earlier “Back on the farm Nino was happiest when he was training his horses. Is there a duty that he could do with horses?” Sakurai hummed to the thought of Nino and horses and then back to Nino trying to escape. “Do you think he will runaway?” “Well at first I would say yes but now with Masaki by his side I don't think so.” “Then I will have Nino removed from the kitchen and placed in the stables as a horse trainer.” Ohno was so happy he slide onto his vampires lap kissing the plush lips sucking them into his own mouth before letting them go. “Thank you Sho thank you.” They continued to kiss nibbling on each other lips. When Ohno ran his tongue down Sakurai's neck He had to pull Ohno away. “Satoshi I need to discuss something with you.”

Ohno pulled back thinking he did something wrong. “Tonight I will be away at Matsumoto castle.” Ohno really panic believing he has done something wrong. “What?...Why?” “Each month there is a celebration of the first moon, We hold what humans call a blood bath.” There was fear on Ohno's face along with confusion “W...what is a blood bath?” “It is where we drink large amounts of blood from many virgins that was brought to us from different lands across the world. We dance and bathe in the blood.” Ohno sat up and swept his feet off the bed so it was dangling to the floor. He could not believe what he was hearing, it was one thing to feed upon the humans for survival for food but another to slaughter them just for fun.

“This is what I must talk to you about. When we join to become one soul on your 21st birthday you will also take part in this. But the most important part is will you be able to feed upon those you may have known?” “Sho you have to go to this... Blood bath?” Ohno asked without looking back to his creature. “Yes it is tradition and has been for thousands of years.” Ohno finally turned to face the vampire “Sho do you have to kill... I mean you can feed but not take all right?” Sakurai scooted closer to Ohno and laid his chin on Ohno's shoulder “No, I do not have to kill. But I would have to feed more often then usual by taking less blood.” “Then I believe I can do it if it means I do not have to kill.” “And the blood bath?”

Ohno lowered his head “I do not know.” Sakurai nodded and rose from the bed. Walking into his wardrobe naked, only after a few minutes he came back out in a pair of dark red velvet pants a black silk shirt that was left unbutton from chest up. “I'm sorry to leave you alone but, I shall return tomorrow night my love.” Sakurai bent down to kiss Ohno's forehead but Ohno lifted his head and captured the vampire's lips in a heated kiss. “Be safe and return to me my love.” Ohno walked Sakurai out to his carriage and kissed him madly once again before Sakurai closed the door. He watched as the carriage rode off into the night before turning to head back into the castle in search for his best friend.

Ohno returned to their room in hope Nino was still there. Unfortunately the room was empty, Ohno asked one of the servants that was cleaning the hall outside their room if she has seen Nino leave the room. After the hesitant girl informed him that Nino had left toward the back of the castle. Ohno thanked her and ran down the corridor to the back doors leading him out to the back hills of the castle which lead to an clearing looking over a lake that was shining and clam. The lake was dark purple with the hint of moon light reflecting the stars of the night. Ohno walked through the trees and bushes, when he reached the area he was looking for he heard two voices speaking softly to each other. Ohno duck under a bush listening to the voices that belonged to his best friend and the wolf. He can just make out the bodies of the two leaning against a tree Masaki was curled up in Nino's lap almost in a fetus positions or you could say like a dog curls on it's master's lap. Nino was running his fingers through the wolfs hair as he was staring out to the lake.

“Nino I don't want you going back to the kitchen duties.” “I have to there is no other duties for me, they had to find this one in order for me to be here.” “You are here because the Master want's you here. I am looking for other duties for you.” “I am here because my family is gone and the vampire...The Lord is in love with Oh-chan, if it wasn't for him I would either be already eaten somewhere or being prepared for food somewhere.” Nino had just a hint of venom in his tone but it was mostly sadness that Ohno heard coming from his friends words. “I almost killed that human for what he did to you. If you was not there to stop me...” “Masaki why do you hate humans so much?” “Humans believe that they are the rulers of all creation of this world and it is their say who lives and who dies. You believe us monsters are cruel, but nothing is more cruel than a human.” Nino had confusion dancing in his eyes when Masaki looked up at them. “Humans...Hunt they hunt for food which is fine it should be that way the circle of life. But humans don't just hunt for food they hunt because they believe they're god over the animals. I seen where humans hunt just to be killing an defenseless creature. It is fun to them and they torture it before finally releasing it of it's pain. You tell me Nino who is the true monsters of this world. This is why I truly hate humans.”

A tear fell from Nino's right eye landing on the wolf's left cheek. Masaki sat up looking into the eyes of his lover. “So you hate me also?” “When the Master introduced you that night he told me you was interested in me. I couldn't figure out why a human would have an attraction to me so I watched you for a couple of days before I made my move and I'm glad I did. Because you Nino I don't hate there's something about you that is not heartless like the humans I have came across.” “For me it was your eyes, I've never seen such a color and there is also beauty behind them.” Masaki licked the lips of Nino wetting them with the tip of his tongue, he then nipped Nino's bottom lip before sucking it into his mouth and letting it go with a soft pop. “Masaki... Come to my room tonight.” The wolf knew of Nino's intentions he can hear the boys heartbeat pound heavy in his chest. “Are you sure? What about Ohno?” “He's been staying with the Lord at night.” “Hmm not tonight the Master is at his monthly...gatherings at the Matsumoto castle.”

Ohno quietly got up and walked back to the castle he didn't want to intrude more than he already have on the two lovers. He headed back to his room. Ohno grabbed some clothes for the next day and some drawing materials to keep him busy for the rest of the night and day until Sakurai returned from his blood bath. Ohno left a letter on Nino's bed saying to enjoy his evening with the wolf and not to worry he would see him in the morning. He went to the kitchen to prepare an evening meal just for himself. Ohno walked carrying his packed bag of items to the vampire bed chambers. Ohno sighed it was his first night alone since he confessed his love for the creature. Blacking out the room Ohno laid in bed feeling alone and not able to touch his creature face Ohno let a tear fall on the white sheets. “I miss you already.”

Morning dawned upon Ohno's face. The sunlight coming through the window with it's warmth made Ohno panic in fear. Sitting up and almost falling out of bed to get to the window “Sho!” Was the only word that went through his mind. “Oh-chan relax it's just me! He's not here remember.” Nino had to shake Ohno fully awake. “N...Nino...What?” Ohno had to blink a few times to knock the sleep out of his head. “I got your letter you left. Thank you.” Ohno sat back down on the bed looking up at Nino when he handed him a small cup of hot tea. “Thank you... So the wolf stayed the night?” “Yes... How did you know I ...We...” “I went looking for you last night and I found you with Masaki at the lake, I kinda heard some...of it.” Ohno blushed nervously on the fact that he was eavesdropping on his friend and his lover. “Oh.” Nino nodded. “So?” “I was so nervous, but Masaki was gentle. It was nice Oh-chan.” “I'm glad.” “Masaki asked me if I wanted to be his life mate.” Ohno blinked tilting his head.

“When a wolf choose a partner it is for life. They will never mate with another for the rest of their life.” “Really! Nino!...What did you say?” “I said yes what else was I to say.” Ohno was so excited he just had to tease Nino more. “So what about puppies you can't have them and neither can Masaki.” Nino bowed his head before looking back up. “Well I told Masaki what you said about pups the week before and he laughed said he wanted to have them.” “What... But how?” “Before we become life mates Masaki have to mate with a female.” Nino had a sad look in his eyes.”Why can't you mate with a female and continue your family blood line?” “Because Masaki is a alpha. Alpha's don't care for other pups but their own. The Ninomiya name stops with me.” Ohno scooted down to the floor with Nino and hugged his friend. He wished he could do more to help Nino with his pain of losing his family. But there is one thing he can do to make Nino smile again. “Hey guess what... I talked to Sho about what happened in the pantry and I asked him if he can place you somewhere else. Do you remember how happy you was when you were training your horses, well I asked to have you placed there giving that you don't try to runaway.” Nino had a very big smile on his face, pulling back to look Ohno in his eyes. “Runaway? Where would I go when you and Masaki are here.”

Ohno and Nino headed to the horse stables after breakfast to get a familiar feel of the place. Ohno watched how Nino was in his old element, concentrating on his new duties smiling and more important laughing. “Nino that guy was wrong... The one in the pantry, you are not a traitor and your especially not garbage. Your my best friend and my family.” Nino stopped brushing the snow white horse who's name is Almay to look at Ohno “Your my family too Oh-chan.” The horse huffed at the interruption of his grooming from his new trainer. Ohno and Nino both laughed at the horse attitude of being a diva. “Well I think you have a super fan of your skills Nino.” “I really missed this... Thank you again my Lord.” “Hey just because Sho wants everybody to call me that I'm not, and for you no matter what always call me Oh-chan OK. Leave the Lord-ness to Sho.”

“OK, speaking of which do vampires have children also. I mean you can continue your bloodline with him can't you?” Ohno lowered his head, he knows that female vampires can have children he's not worried about Sakurai mating with a female to give him a child but he was not sure how he would tell Nino the only way it can be done was to have a soul. “A vampire has to have a soul first before they can have children.” “Oh...So...” Just when Nino was about to ask his question that Ohno feared he saw a strange person duck behind one of the horse stalls. “Who was that?” Ohno turned but the person was gone. Nino walked over to see if the person was still there but there was no trance. “I could have sworn I saw someone.” “Maybe it was a servant who not supposed to be out here.” “Maybe your right, come on my Oh-chan just because you are the Lords lover don't think you have a free pass with me, be useful and get the hay over there so we can feed these beauties.” Ohno stuck his tongue out at Nino just like they use too when they was back home.

Ohno and Nino continued to work and play passing the time till it was becoming dusk. Ohno looked up realizing that his Master should be returning soon jumped in hast. “Sho should be on his way back I need to go and bathe... Um Nino...” “It's OK go see your love...Mine's here for me.” Nino saw Masaki walking up to the stables with a smile on his face. “Hey let's continue this everyday OK.” “Yeah sure, now go so I can spend time with my puppy.” Ohno hugged Nino before running off but stopped when he was in front of the wolf. “Masaki.” “Ohno... Thank you... He's happy I can tell.” “It's nothing his happiness is mine. Enjoy your time together.” Ohno bowed to the wolf and continued to run to the bath chambers.

Sakurai walked into the bath “Last time I was in here you almost drowned falling asleep in the water.” Ohno smiled this time he didn't jumped but welcomed the voice of his creature. “I smelled like horses so if you want a stable in your bed I suggest you scrub my back and help get the smell off.” “As you wish.” Sakurai stripped down and stepped into the hot steaming water. “Turn around so I can wash you.” “Watch me?” Ohno joked, “That too.” The vampire smirked kissing the left shoulder of Ohno. “I missed you.” “And I you.” Ohno moaned at the suction on his neck a shiver ran down his spin sending his mind into many thoughts. Ohno turned into the vampire arms wrapping his around Sakurai's neck. Starring into the tense eyes of the vampire Ohno swallowed heavy building up his courage. “Sho I... I want to see you... Show me your other face.” “Last time you saw my...other face it frightened you. Are you sure you want to see it again?” Ohno nodded slowly. “I want to see it.” Sakurai eyes turned it's darkest black but there was no anger or rage behind them this time. Opening his mouth just slightly enough for Ohno to witness his fangs grow to it's deathliest points, Ohno looked on intently he had no fear this time just more curiosity.

Running his fingers over the vampire lips and barely touching them with his tips, Ohno straddle Sakurai in the water before slowly lowering his lips to met the plump kissable ones. He paused just before touching them looking over the face of his creature “So beautiful.” Ohno placed his bottom lip on the tip of a fang piercing it enough for just drop of blood to evade Sakurai's mouth. “Satoshi... Stop.” Sakurai pulled back to look Ohno in the eyes confusion was on the face of the vampire but Ohno moved forward replacing his lips, the kissed silenced the vampire protest. Sakurai deepen the kiss moaning into the heated cavern of his lover tasting the smallest of blood that was aloud to escaped the flesh of Ohno's lips. They joined they're bodies in the hot bath moaning and calling each other names in ecstasy.

Sakurai was breathing heavy against Ohno's neck after the waves of his orgasm subsided, “That... I was not... expecting of... you.” Ohno tighten his hold on his creature's waist. “That was different.” Ohno hummed into Sakurai's hair. “Maybe be I should go away more often.” “No... Never leave me again.” I have too every new moon Satoshi I told you this...” “Next...Next new moon take me with you.” Sakurai lifted up pulling himself out of Ohno's arms “Satoshi it's not a sight you are use to seeing.” “I know... but I love you and I want to be your soul mate. I want to accept you for who and what you are, my love and my creature.” “OK next moon you will be my date to and evening you'll never forget.” “Can't wait.”

Sakurai laid his head back into Ohno's neck breathing his sent. “I think we need to exit the water your turning into a prune.” Ohno turned his nose up at the idea, “I don't like prunes, horrible fruit they are.” Sakurai laughed loud and boyish helping Ohno out the water he grabbed a robe to cover Ohno exposed wet body, “Satoshi have you told Ninomiya about your choice to be my soul mate?” Ohno hesitated before answering “No... Not yet.” “You have to tell him.” “I know it's just we are barely spending time with each other now, and he's finally happy I don't want to lose that.” “After our... ceremony you will have even less time to spend with him, enjoy what you have with him now and treasure it.” Ohno nodded quietly he pulled Sakurai with him out of the bath chamber and headed to Sakurai's bed chamber.

For the next four months Ohno has accompanied Sakurai to the blood bath at the Matsumoto castle. At first he was as terrified as the first day he ever came to the castle. But this night was going to be different for him. On the fifth hour of the festivities Ohno was up in the balcony watching his creature dance, he was covered in the blood of a virgin. It would've been a very disturbing sight if it wasn't for Sakurai trusting his hips in the direction of the balcony, Ohno only kept his eyes on his creature. The other vampires was a little apprehensive at first but soon they came to welcome Ohno and a few tried to get him to join in the dance, Ohno only would say maybe next time in a plight way of rejecting the offer. A servant walked onto the balcony offering Ohno some white wine, He looked up to thank the servant but what caught Ohno's eyes was a pair of soft brown eyes he hasn't seen in over five months. “Satomi?” “Satoshi?” Ohno jumped and almost hugged the life out of his lost sister. Tears of joy and pain crossed each other eyes and hearts. Feeling the extremely heightened emotions coming from Ohno, Sakurai leaped from the ground floor to the balcony landing on the edge, perching like a cat about to pounce to protect his lover Sakurai let out a deep growl of warning first.

The servant dropped to the floor in fear screaming. “Sho!...No! It's my sister Satomi!” Sakurai immediately pulled back stepping down from the balcony, his eyes going back to its hazel brown and his fangs returning to it's place of rest. “Your sister? But she was sold off to another vampire... What is she doing here?” “I don't know.” Ohno said crouching down to calm his sister. “Satomi look at me... It's OK he's our creature.” Satomi looked back and forth between Ohno and Sakurai confused as hell. “W...what?” “Do you remember the story's of our parents? The one's mama told us. This is him Satomi... They are true.” Satomi looked up at the vampire who was still covered in blood. Realizing this Sakurai started to wipe off the blood with some napkins that was on the food tray Ohno was eating from. “I'm sorry...I'm so sorry. I know I must frighten you.” “Some creature?” At the words that was coming from the girl mouth Sakurai let a deep heavy sigh out. “I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to your parents.”

The three was quite and the atmosphere was thick and heavy. “Why? Why?” Was all Satomi could get out her mouth. “I'll tell you everything sister, but first how are you here?” Matsumoto enter the balcony. “What is wrong? Servant why are you up here bothering my guest?” Ohno looked up, he was scared of Matsumoto still but after finding his sister he no longer felt fear of him. “She's my sister Lord Matsumoto.” “Matsumoto how long have you had her?” Sakurai asked stepping in front of Ohno, Sakurai knows that Matsumoto does not care for humans who talk back even if they are to be the soul mate of his friend. “She just arrived two weeks ago, She was trying to escape from her other Lord one to many times he had enough but the fact that she was still young instead of using her as food he sold her to me as a pro creator.” Ohno looked to his sister feeling the guilt clinch at his heart. Sakurai could feel it too and it was as strong as Ohno's fore Satomi was under his crest. “Matsumoto I know this may sound unbelievable but this girl is under my crest, she is Satoshi sister...Please can we talk in private?” “This way Sakurai we can talk in my study chamber.”

Matsumoto escorted Sakurai down a hall leaving the siblings alone on the balcony. “Satoshi let's go we can run while there are not watching.” Satomi grabbed Ohno's hand trying to pulled him to the door. “Satomi no I can't.” “Yes you can we just have to be careful.” “No sister you don't understand. Sho...Lord Sakurai he...he is my creature from our stories. He is my soul mate.” Satomi blinked as she could not believe her ears. “Satoshi you are not saying that you are in love with that monster... with these monsters?” “I am. I love him with every fiber of my soul Satomi.” “Satoshi they killed our parents! Destroyed our home and the village!” “Wolves killed our parents! They ignore Sho's family crest!” “Sho?... So you are on a first named bases now? Satoshi wolves, vampires they are all monsters!” “And our some creature who saved mom and dad twenty years ago?” Satomi sighed “He maybe a more kinder one but Satoshi he is still a monster.”

Tears was falling to the floor of both siblings eyes. “Satomi I just found you...I don't want to lose you again.” “What are you saying Satoshi? Are you choosing these monsters over your own kind? Over your blood!?” Ohno said a quite “Yes. I love him... and Nino's in love also.” “What? Nino is still alive? Where!?” “With Me and Sho. At Sho's castle... He's in love with a wolf named Masaki.” “Unbelievable the two of you. Both are traitors and you chose to be. I refused to be somebody's food source or baby making thing!” Satomi left running down the hall crying to get away from her brother that she feared to be dead for months.

“Satoshi... What's wrong where is your sister? Matsumoto agrees to allow Satomi to come home with us.” Ohno was crying with his head in his hands, he looked at Matsumoto and then back to Sakurai. “Thank you but if it's OK with Lord Matsumoto... Can my sister stay here? She may hate me, but here at least I know she will be alive.” Sakurai was in disbelief. “Satoshi why?” “She... She will never understand my love for you and I'm not going to force her too.” “She is welcomed here for as long as she is under the crest of Sakurai.” Matsumoto bowed to Ohno. “Thank you... And I'm sorry if I ruined your celebration.” “It's fine Ohno we could use some excitement during our ritual. You should have brought him sooner Sakurai.” Matsumoto said before leaving. “Let's go home Satoshi.” Sakurai lifted Ohno and carried home to their carriage.

For the next few weeks Ohno stayed depressed over the fact that his sister refuse to understand and see his creature for the kind vampire that Ohno and their parents saw. He told Nino of the miracle that happened at Matsumoto's castle. Nino was still confused as to why Ohno was willing to go to the monthly blood baths with the vampire, even two months after the incident. But seeing his sister once a month alive even thou she hated the fact that he was choosing to be with the vampire, It gave Ohno the small happiness that lingered in his heart. Ohno had seven more months left till his 21st birthday and seven more months left to spend as much time left with Nino under the sun. Ohno invited Nino up to the hill that looked over the lake that turned purple at night but was as clear as the sky during the day. Sitting under the same tree that Nino and Masaki was under Ohno was ready to tell Nino his secret. “Nino if I tell you something do you promise not to hate me also?” “Oh-chan what are you talking about? I can never hate you, you are my best friend and brother remember?” Nino hugged Ohno as he saw the worry in his eyes. “Nino in seven months I will be 21 and on my birthday... Sho and I will become soul mates.” “Oh-chan that's great!” Nino smiled till he saw the fear in Ohno's face. “Oh-chan... How do you become soul mates?” “Sho will turn me at the ceremony... Once I am turned into a vampire I will no longer be able to be in the sunlight and I will feed on Blood for food.” “So I am losing another part of my family to vampires.” “No Nino I will still be the same Oh-chan...” But you will look at me as I am food from now on right.” “I will never see you as that and Sho said that I don't have to kill I can take only what I would need but I would have to feed on a more regular base.” “So every day you will have to feed?” “Yes... But I wouldn't kill anybody.” Nino was about to say something when he saw a figure in the bushes. “Oh-chan someone's over there.” Ohno looked over at the bush Nino was pointing at and saw two people crouched down hiding. He was about to ask them what they was doing till he saw that they had weapons, Swords and a bow and arrow. “Nino hurry and run find Masaki were under attack.” Nino started to run towards the castle but fell down in pain he was caught in the right arm by an arrow.

“AHH!” “Nino No!” “R...run O.. Oh-chan! Save...” “No I will not leave you come on!... Masaki can hear if I scream right?!” “Yes!” “MASAKI ! HELP!” Two men dressed in camouflage to blend into the trees approached the two friends aiming their bows at them. “Traitors to the human race must die!” Before Ohno and Nino could blink Masaki and Akita was running to them. Leaping over the boys changing into man size wolves and ripping into the trespassers. “OHNO TAKE NINO AND RUN TO THE CASTLE YOU WILL BE SAFE!” Masaki growled before completely changing. Ohno picked Nino up the best he could and ran to the castle. Running through the doors he order several of the guards to help Masaki and two to help him carry Nino to Sakurai bed chambers. “Stand guard and make sure nobody enters this room protect our Lord at all cost. Ohno helped Nino to an sofa chair that was in the corner of the room. He lit a couple of candles so Nino could see in the blacken out room.

The intense emotion from Ohno and the smell of Nino's blood woke Sakurai out his deep sleep. “Satoshi, Ninomiya are you alright?” Nino heard the vampire's voice and immediately try to cover his arm with the arrow. “Relax Ninomiya I have no want of your blood. Are you OK Satoshi?” “Yes... Masaki and the guards are out there fighting the intruders, we only know of two I'm not sure how many more there are.” Nino moaned in more pain when the arrow moved just a little when he laid back. “Ninomiya do you trust me?” The vampire asked squatting down in front of Nino. Nino looked into the eyes of the vampire then he looked up at Ohno and what caught his eyes in the candle light was a painting that was not finished. It had Ohno and the vampire sitting on a antique sofa and in front of them was Nino and Masaki sitting side legged their hand claps together. On each of their shoulders was a hand Ohno's was on Masaki's and Sakurai's was on Nino's.

Nino could just faintly make out the small writing in the corner Family The fight outside the castle went on almost through the night. Ohno and Nino was terrified they haven't heard any information since Sakurai left the room. Ohno wanted to go in search for him but he promised he would stay, he needed to look after Nino and to make sure he doesn't lose too much blood. The clock outside of the bed chambers chimed 12 times indicating that it was midnight. Ohno was about to forgo his promise and look for his creature. At the door Ohno was about to open it when he heard voices coming down the hall. “Oh-chan don't go out there.” “It's been too long Nino they might be hurt.” Ohno grabbed a sword off the wall in the room before exiting into the hall, He slowly walked down the hall and was about to make a right turn when he was grabbed from behind. Swing the sword wildly at his attacker, Ohno was kissed roughly. “I thought I told you to stay in the room.” Sakurai whispered into Ohno's ear. The vampire caught the sword's blade just before it connected to his neck with his right hand. “Sho!... I was so worried. Is everything OK? Where's Masaki?” Ohno dropped the sword and hugged Sakurai tight around his neck kissing what ever he could reach with his lips.
