Chapter Two

Kyou came to with the feeling of a body behind him. It confused him for a few moments until it all came back in a rush: the horrible monsters, Aloys, and then how he fell asleep eventually from exhaustion and fear.

'Son of a b.i.t.c.h,' he groaned to himself and recoiled under the weight of Aloys' arm that was slung over his hip.

Kyou was afraid to move at first, but after a few minutes, he tentatively slid the vampire's arm off of him. The man didn't move to stop him, and Kyou breathed in relief. Through the dimly lit room, Kyousuke figured it must still be daytime. His heart sped up as he recognized his chance to escape. He withdrew himself carefully and slowly and went to stand, but as he straightened, his knees buckled underneath him.

His head spun as he gripped the bedpost to ground himself, and the muscles in his legs burned. Kyou knew it was from the excessive blood loss and exercise the night before, and, through his half muddled thoughts, he realized was s.h.i.+vering with cold because he was still in just his underwear.

He hissed and sank to the cool hardwood floor, his gaze swimming as he stayed still and tried to calm down.

Aloys, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d, had chosen that moment to sit up with a yawn. A look of amus.e.m.e.nt crossed his sleepy face as he saw Kyou on the floor. "What, were you trying to escape while I was sleeping? You know that contrary to human belief, I can be awake during the day, love. At least for awhile," he chuckled and got to his feet. Kyou glared at him as he realized the a.s.shole was still fully clothed in a s.h.i.+rt and sweatpants.

The vampire got up and went to the bed to help Kyou up and set him back on the bed.

"Don't touch me!" Kyou objected venomously as he struggled in Aloys' grip.

Through his violent squirming, Kyou was let go and landed on the bed roughly after the purplette's elbow connected with the vampire's face. After rubbing his chin out of habit, Aloys sighed, "I'm going to make something for you to eat. What would you like?" He asked as he went to the door and waited for an answer.

Kyou tried to scowl. He opened his mouth to snarl out something vicious but shut it before any words could come out. He felt like he was going to throw up whatever he had left in his stomach, so instead, he pulled the sheets up to his shoulders and silently glared at the vampire across the room. He wished-not for the first time in his life- that looks could kill.

Aloys stood there patiently and waited for the purplette to answer him. Finally the irritation Kyou felt overwhelmed him.

"Just go away," he said through gritted teeth.

"What's wrong?" Aloys questioned mockingly, as he walked back over and casually sat on the bed.

Kyou stiffened even more at the vampires nearness. He was going to be living here as a prisoner either until the day Aloys lost interest in him and drained him dry, he died of old age, or he found some way to escape. How the h.e.l.l did this happen?


"Its none of your concern," he snapped, hating the way the vampire's gentle voice made him feel like he was acting like a petulant, disobedient child. "I told you to leave me the h.e.l.l alone!"

"And leave you to cry? I'm not going to do that~" he said and reached out to touch Kyou.

"Do. not. touch me!" he yelled again and shoved Aloys away to make some distance between them. "I don't need you or your f.u.c.king high and mighty att.i.tude! I have always been able to take care of myself, and I don't need you to treat me like some brat!"

Aloys sighed softly again and put his hands up in surrender. After a moment he stood back up. "I'll be back later, clothes are in there if you want some to put on," he said as he motioned to a dresser.

Kyou's eyes flicked toward the dresser, and then to his tattered and b.l.o.o.d.y clothes on the floor. The images of the night before made him flush in embarra.s.sment and pull the sheets up to his ears.

After a few more moments of silence, Aloys left the room. He pulled the door closed quietly behind him. Kyou waited until Aloys' footsteps faded before he shakily made his way over to the dresser for clothes.

Once he grabbed a handful of clothes, Kyou looked around the room for a possible way of escape and spotted another door. He wobbled over to it and opened it carefully in case there was something unpleasant on the other side.

After he turned on the light, he is surprised to find out that it was only a bathroom. A really big one too. It had a separate tub that looked more like a hot tub, and shower that big enough to comfortably fit three people inside. An ornate mirror that hung over the marble, double sink counter top, showed Kyou how wretched and exhausted he looked.

He walked in, clutching the clothes to his chest, and eyed the room with envy. It made him think of his cramped apartment, and how it could easily fit into this one bathroom. It was against his better judgment, but the purplette suddenly found himself over at the tub, his hand already reached out to turn the handle.

With a twist of the k.n.o.b, hot steam soon filled the room as the basin of the tub was filled with steaming water. After it reached a satisfying height, Kyou climbed in. A sigh of pleasure escaped Kyou as his body relaxed from the almost scalding water, and sunk lower into the bath. d.a.m.n the water felt good.

Through the whole process, he'd tried to rationalize a good reason to be dawdling. Kyou was ashamed to admit that although he had learned to live without a lot of things over the years, a lot of times his f.u.c.king impulses just took over whether they made sense or not. He usually could ignore them, but seeing something like this had filled his mind to the point where he couldn't even control his body. When things got to that point, he had figured out it was better just to let it happen.

He leaned back, and grabbed shampoo from the dispenser on the wall and began to scrub at his sweat-matted hair furiously, angry at his lack of self-control. After a while, he carefully began to comb his fingers through his hair, and once he was satisfied his hair was clean, began to rinse it out. It wasn't long after he got a bar of soap for his skin and began to scrub that clean as well.

He was so preoccupied that he didn't hear a light knock on the bedroom door. A blue-haired teen peeked his head inside the room after hearing no answer and curiously went to look for the purple haired stranger who he had seen last night while getting Sera.

"h.e.l.lo?" he asked as he stuck his head in the bathroom to see if the man was in there.

Kyousuke's head shot to the door, and he let out a small shriek of surprise. His body reflexively shot to the side and away from the figure that now stood in the doorway.

"Who the h.e.l.l are you?" He demanded, and then realized he was completely naked and covered in bruises. He automatically grabbed for a towel to try to cover himself with the water.

The boy snickered at Kyou's actions and grinned.

"Didn't mean to scare ya. I'm Kain. I noticed you when I pulled Sera back into my room to get her back to sleep last night."

Kyou glared at the teen. "Are you a vampire too?"

"Nope," he said as he stretched and scratched the back of his head.

Kyou relaxed somewhat.

"Did you get brought here too?" He asked slowly.

Kain shook his head. "I've been here for around eight years now. Out of choice," he added. "Aloys' little sister brought me here to live."

Kyou couldn't stop the growl that escaped from his throat at that mention of the vampire's name. "And you don't leave?" he demanded, standing up in the tub, arms akimbo. He really didn't care at this point anymore -if Kain had lived with this vampire for eight years, then who the h.e.l.l knew what he had seen. Probably more than a few bruises… It made him angry about it all over again.

"I could be stuck here for the rest of my life while you can leave anytime you, please! What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?!"

"Well, it's much better than living in abandoned buildings!" he protested. "And I have nowhere else to go! I was barely alive when I was brought here!" Kain said angrily through gritted teeth.

"Tch. Being on your own is better than depending on others who will only let you down in the end," Kyou snapped darkly. He stepped out of the tub after he wrapped a towel around his waist and began to rub his body dry with another. He ran his fingers through his soaked hair before he toweled that too. "Depending on others only hurts you, kid."

"If I wasn't brought here when I was, then I would have died from starvation or someone would have killed me. This is MUCH better than where I was before!" Kain shouted before he stormed out of the room slamming the door shut behind him.

Kyou rolled his eyes as he pulled the clothes he grabbed, on. It was a pair of black sweatpants, and a dark grey s.h.i.+rt. Did this guy own anything remotely colorful? He sighed.

The top was too long in the arms, and too big in the chest, and drawstrings in the pants had to be tightened all the way, but he didn't care. As long as he was covered it didn't really matter what he wore.

Aloys had walked back in while Kyou was changing in the bathroom, carrying a tray of food. "What did you do to get Kain so angry? It's rare that to see him that worked up," he said to Kyou as the purplette shuffled back into the bedroom.

Kyou glared at the vampire for a long moment as he pulled his damp hair back into a low ponytail and tying it off with a hair elastic he had found in the bathroom. "I only told him the truth. He's the one that got upset," he finally said, his tone sour.

"Well, what you believe to be the truth might not always be the case," Aloys sighed before he set down the tray he held. "I brought you some food," he offered it to Kyou.

"I said I wasn't hungry. And since when can vampire's cook?" Kyou retorted scathingly as he sat in the chair by the fireplace, his beat-up sneakers in hand.

"That's insulting. Just because I don't eat means I can't cook?." He asked offended.

"Che," Kyou grunted as he rolled his eyes, and pulled on his shoes without socks. " Why don't you let me out of here and try to find another human. Like a pretty lady or something? You already have that Kain kid, so why do you need me?" he said in reply.

He also wanted to mention something about the fact that Kain said Aloys had a sister, but he didn't. It wasn't his business and didn't care to make it his, either.

"I prefer men," Aloys said with a sniff as he let Kyou change the subject. "Plus, my sister would not take kindly to me eating her adopted children," he added in annoyance, his eye twitching at the thought of her

Kyou frowned. "Well, another man then. Go find a model or something, one that's charming and s.e.xy, and will be happy with you. And although I'm just trash you found on the street, I have a job, and life of my own, you know!" Well...not a job anymore, but he was sure he could find something quickly!

Kyou ground his teeth and stood abruptly.

Aloys chuckled humorlessly. "Oh, love, you aren't trash- more like a discarded treasure that I picked up~" Aloys walked over and gently grabbed Kyou's chin before he kissed his cheek with a smirk.

Kyou grunted in surprise, and shoved Aloys away, and said angrily while whipping his cheek with the sleeve of his s.h.i.+rt, "Stop touching me so casually!" His heart thrashed wildly in his chest at the contact, and he was sure Aloys could hear it judging by the f.u.c.king smug smirk on his face. "And stop trying to use your glamour on me," he added angrily with a glare.

"I've never been one to use glamour since my natural appeal is usually enough," he said in a slightly smug tone. "So you're blaming me for something that's your own fault~" Aloys grinned as he pulled Kyou against him and nuzzled his neck like he had the night before.

Kyou sputtered and felt his knees go weak as Aloys' breath tickled his skin. His heart skittered for a moment, and he sucked in a choked breath before he shoved the vampire away, and tried to run for the bedroom door.

Aloys pouted a moment before going after him. He calmly hugged Kyou's back to his chest as the purplette grasped the door handle.

Kyou wriggled in Aloys grip. "Let GO!" he yelled and dropped all his weight into the vampire's arms to throw him off balance a moment before he could slip out of his hold and flee down the hallway. It lurched with every rushed step, causing Kyou to sway and tip against the wall with a m.u.f.fled thud.

Aloys chuckled at the human's attempt to get away and went after the purplette. This time he grabbed him a little more roughly and lightly nipped his neck.

Kyou's weight dropped into Aloys again, but this time for reasons like weak knees and a swimming head. He knew that trying to escape right now was next to impossible. It made him even angrier, mostly at himself, and less at Aloys. It made him want to leave even more.

"Stop trying to run, love," Aloys murmured in Kyou's ear before he kissed the younger man's cheek again gently and pulled him closer to keep him upright.

It p.i.s.sed him off even more that Aloys' arms felt strong and steady, while his own gripped the vampire's arms as strong as a newborn kitten's. He hadn't let anyone touch him so nonchalantly since he was a young child at the orphanage, yet here was this vampire touching him like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"You don't smell of hate, more like fear. Is that why your knees are shaking?" he whispered against the purplettes' skin as he held Kyou in place.

"What do you know about how I feel?" Kyou tried to retort hotly. "And I am not afraid! As if I would be! My body just hurts from the things that attacked me last night, so of course, I can't stand very well!"

Aloys started to nibble on Kyou's' neck and bit down lightly without breaking the skin.

"S-stop doing that! We are in a house with children!" He yelped as he grabbed Aloys arms again and was able to pry them off.

"Where are you going?" Aloys asked with a pout.

"I am going back to my place," he huffed as he lurched for the front door. "So don't follow me!"

Aloys leaned against the wall. "I have a proposal," he called out as Kyou reached the door and tried to push it open with his shoulder. "You get to go out and live your life during the day, but come back here to stay at night, how does that sound?"

Kyousuke stopped despite the growing irritation in his buzzing mind. "Are you serious?" he asked in disbelief as he shoved himself against the door again, and gave a sharp twist of the doork.n.o.b. Who did this f.u.c.ker think he was?

"If I wasn't serious then I wouldn't offer," Aloys said as he ignored Kyou's sarcasm.

This was too ridiculous to be true. "Thanks but no thanks. I'll manage on my own."

Aloys looked at the younger man unimpressed as he walked up to the door to stand almost back to chest behind Kyou. The vampire put a hand in the middle of the door and leaned into it. "That is all well and good, but what about the monsters chasing after you yesterday? Hmm?" he questioned, his breath tickling Kyou's ear, but not a single part of them touching. "What if they attack you again? Will you be able to defend yourself?"

Kyou hadn't thought of that. What if they did come back? He s.h.i.+vered as he thought about those creatures finding him again.

He glanced at up at Aloys' hand. Maybe... he could use this to his advantage..."Alright... but if I stay here, I get my own room. And you can't do anything to me without my permission."

"I promise I won't do anything without permission, but just keep in mind that I'll be able to find you no matter where you run," he said. Kyou could tell without looking that the idiot was grinning smugly as if he won the argument.

Kyou rolled his eyes, even though he knew the vampire couldn't see them. "Yeah, whatever, but JUST until those creatures are gone for good. Any biting, licking, kissing -anything like that- is prohibited, understood?"

"I understand," he agreed. "Is it fine if I went to your place to help you get your things?"

Kyou looked at him for a moment. "Won't you burn up if you go outside? It's still daytime."

"Again, love, I am afraid you have been misinformed. I am old enough where I can go out into the sunlight, as long as it's not too strong, for extensive periods of time."

"Just keep your creepiness to yourself," he sighed as Aloys opened the door, and let in the cool, early evening air.

Kyou stepped out and breathed it in. "Where are we anyway? I have never seen this part of the city," he asked as he looked around. In the panic and terror the night before, he was even more confused as to where he was.

"My house is in a dimension that is in between the human and demon world," Aloys replied as he went to take Kyou's hand, but pulled it back at the last moment. "But this is on the outskirts of town."

Kyousuke felt a small blush start to form on his cheeks, but he forced it down. "I never knew so many Fiends lived in town…" his voice trailed off.

"It's not as uncommon as you might think," Aloys responded and stopped before they stepped out onto a busy street. "Now, where is your place?"

"My apartment is on High Street," Kyou said. "If we hurry, we can catch the train-" Aloys chuckled, interrupting the purplette, and patted Kyou's head, "Pfft. We don't need the train."

Before Kyou could ask what he meant, Aloys grinned mischievously and suddenly reached out. He grabbed the other man's waist before they were both engulfed in shadows.

Kyou barely had a moment to register the panic forming in his mind before Aloys released him just as abruptly as he had grabbed him. A sign showed him that the two of them were on the previously specified street.

"That power is so fun to use," the vampire hummed. He then looked over at Kyou and added unconcerned, "You okay? Sometimes people get sick~"

Kyou blinked in a mix of surprise, and irritation. He barely gave Aloys a glance before he rushed across the street and into the complex where he lived. He didn't want anyone seeing him with a Fiend.

Kyousuke took the elevator to the third floor and opened the mailbox for the spare key. He went to insert the key into the lock, but it was then he noticed the door was slightly ajar.

Kyou carefully pushed the door open, and what he saw filled him with a mix of fear and anger. His apartment was trashed. All the furniture was upturned, papers and books scattered everywhere, and there were gouges all along the walls and floor like an animal had been let loose in there.

He went into his bedroom and found it in a similar state. He felt a chill go up to his spine as he gathered some clothes quickly and avoided tripping over the disemboweled mattress as he made his way around the room.

Kyou was about to walk out the door when he heard a sharp chime sound through the ransacked apartment. Kyou scrambled to find it and found it was his cell phone under an upturned coffee table.

"H-h.e.l.lo?" he asked nervously after he opened the line. On the other end was just crackling static and silence. "h.e.l.lo," he tried again, but then the line abruptly disconnected.

He closed his side of the call and quickly made his way out of the apartment. Next, he called the landlord only to get a voicemail, and then the police station. Apparently, there was a high number of crimes being committed because he was unable to get a hold them either.

Kyou hung up his phone after leaving a message as he stepped out of the building, and looked up to see a group of giggling, gawking girls who had gathered to stare at Aloys.

'That stupid vampire!' he thought and was about to turn around and go in the other direction when he heard, "KYOUSUKE!"

Kyou felt the wind knocked out of him a moment later as he was tackled from behind and hit the pavement with a thump.

"Kyou, I'm so glad that you're alright!" The man-child on his back cheered.

"Mika, will you get off of me?!" Kyou said angrily and tried to shove the small ginger off of him.

"Where have you been? I have been looking for you all day! You weren't at work, so I was really worried!" Mika said as he got to his feet.

Kyou rolled his eyes and dusted off his clothes as he stood too. "I'm fine, Mika, so stop acting so stupidly. And how did you know it was me from so far away? You're blind as a bat when it really matters."

"So mean, Kyou, but I'd recognize your grumpy form anywhere. I'm glad you are alright, though~" the ginger's slightly off gaze was then directed at Aloys. "Who are you?" he asked.

Kyou groaned internally. He had been hoping the Mika wouldn't notice the vampire.

Aloys snickered at Kyou. "Aloys," he responded to the ginger's question with a grin.

"Oh, well h.e.l.lo, I'm Mika. Nice to meet you! Are you a friend of Kyou's? I didn't know he had any other friends beside me!"

"We aren't friends," Kyou snapped at the ginger-haired man. "Now go away."

Aloys ignored Kyou's words and answered Mika. "I helped him out last night, but he's been asleep most of the day," Aloys grinned mischievously as he explained.

Kyou slapped the vampire up the backside of the head without thinking. "Idiot! Don't tell him that!"

Mika just smirked. "Haha. Sounds like, Kyou. He has a sharp tongue, but don't let his words get to you. He just doesn't like to admit when he likes someone~"

Aloys blinked, "I've realized that it was quite obvious earlier," he chuckled before a man that Kyou recognized stepped up behind Aloys and slung an arm casually over the white-haired man's shoulder. "Lyall," he said dryly. "What a pleasant surprise."

"Y-YOU!" Kyou gaped and pointed at the redhead. "You're the creepy guy from the subway!"

Lyall looked at him with indifference. "I don't know what you are talking about, but that's rude to say to someone you've just met," the man sniffed indignantly.

"Aloys~" he greeted in return, turning his attention to the other man. "What are you doing out and about? I swear you need to stop doing that unless you want to get molested. I didn't save you just for you to get groped to death years later," he scolded as Aloys winced.

"Yeah yeah, I don't think about that stuff, which is why I keep forgetting it. Anyway, Lyall, why are you here?" Aloys questioned with a groan.

"Is it against the law to want to go shopping? What, did you think I was stalking you? I just happened to spot you, that's it. I'll let you kids get back to your date and be on my way now," the feminine man waved before continuing on his shopping spree now that he had scolded the white-haired man and left. Kyou more confused than before.

"Wow. You know that guy?" Mika asked, his grey eyes following the redhead as he walked away.

Kyou rolled his eyes and adjusted the strap on his shoulder. "Yeah, who the h.e.l.l was that creep?"

"Well, you could say that, although that's not exactly correct," Aloys sighed, seeming to ignore Kyou's part of the question. "I'm ready to go home," he yawned with stretch.

Mika opened his mouth to speak when his phone went off. "Oh c.r.a.p! I have to get to my other job!" With that, he hailed a cab. "See you later, Kyou!" he called as he got in. "I'll see you around. Nice to meet you, Aloys!"

Kyou just lamely waved back with a heavy sigh of irritation. " Yeah, yeah."

Aloys chuckled and grabbed Kyou's hand. He pulled them back into the shadows as a large truck zoom pa.s.sed them and suddenly they were back in front of the house again.

Kyou yelped at the sudden change in their scenery. "What the h.e.l.l?! Warn someone when you are going to do that!"

He laughed softly and hugged Kyou, resting his forehead on the other's shoulder casually.

Kyou pulled away and opened the door. "You sure are cuddly for a vampire..." he complained.

"I wasn't like this when I was human, so things change," he said with a sigh as he let Kyou go.

Kyou went to the living room. "Which room is mine?" he asked and looked at Aloys.

The vampire thought a moment, and went down the hall, and opened the door right next to the one that was before the end of the hall. He didn't have the energy to make the comment his room was right next to vampires.

He followed Aloys into the room, and after turning the light on placed his bag on top of the dresser, and opened the curtains.

"I thought you vampires slept in coffins," he said as he remembered the huge bed in Aloys' room from the night before with some embarra.s.sment.

"Some prefer coffins, some prefer beds. I got sick of coffins a long time ago," he said as he looked around. "This room is a little dusty, but it should be fine once it gets aired out."

Kyou nodded and s.h.i.+fted on his feet. After a moment he made way to the to the ornate bed.

It was easily larger than a king, and the bed frame was thick with a canopy cover, like in those Victorian movies, with the intricate carvings and the velvet curtains.

"Doesn't this seem a bit gaudy?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Aloys shrugged. "I didn't choose this rubbish," he said with a slight defensiveness in his voice.

Kyou rolled his eyes. "I never said you did," he replied as he grabbed the nearest curtain and ran his hands over the soft surface.

He waited for Aloys' reply, but there was only silence. After another moment, when he was about to move, he felt a hand touch the ends of his ponytail.

"What do you think you are doing?" he asked as he stiffened.

Aloys mumbled something as he curled his fingers into his hair.

"What?" he asked turning around.

He stopped short when he was almost nose to nose with the vampire.

"I said," Aloys repeated softly, "You amuse me."

Kyou rolled his eyes. "And you're an idiot." he huffed.

"I get that a lot," the other man responded, his mouth quirking in a smirk.

"I can see why," Kyou retorted with a raised eyebrow, the challenge to have the last word making his mouth move.

Aloys dropped the lock of hair and stepped back. "Why purple?"

Kyou glanced down and to the side briefly before he looked back up to meet the vampire's heterochromatic eyes. "Why do you think?" he snorted rhetorically after a moment. "To keep people away from me. Most people with a shred of safety awareness stay away from people with piercings and crazy hair colors." He tucked some hair behind his ears to show the small black gages in his earlobes.

Aloys nodded. "I see," was all he said before he added, "Well, I am a little intimidated to ask,love, but are you hungry yet? You haven't eaten since you've been here."

Kyou sighed. "Just some tea would be fine. Earl Gray if you have any with lots of cream and sugar..." He began to answer when his stomach let out a loud growl. "... And maybe a salad if you have the stuff for that. I'm a vegetarian, so no meat, got it?"

The vampire nodded, "I have all those things. Kain and Sera are both humans after all," he added tersely before he disappeared to go and prepare the requested drink and food.

Kyou sighed, and leaned back against the nearest bedpost, overwhelmed and exhausted. 'What a weird turn of events...' he decided, and not for the first time that day, wondered what the h.e.l.l he was going to do if this perfunctory arrangement went south...
