Descendants of Darkness
Chapter 5
Die kept his word and the next night, Shinya's body was brought to his own apartment where the police found it the following morning. It was clear what had killed the young man, and the death was written into the books as 'unexplainable'.
Although Toshiya wasn't able to forget the picture of his friend lying in the pool of blood on the cold floor, he still didn't stop his daily visits at the house, simply craving for the redhead's presence. He began to spend even more time there, and to his surprise - a pleasant one - Die didn't seem to mind.
He was even allowed to spend days there when he had the time, simply sleeping beside the redheaded vampire, sometimes even daring to embrace him. It caused this certain kind of contentment to well up inside him and he held on to those moments with all his might.
After some time, Die even took him along when he went out. Not on the hunt of course, but when he was amusing himself amongst humans, be it a pub or a funfair, watching a movie even, he allowed his "pet" - how Kaoru called the human - to come along. The other vampire watched them suspiciously whenever they left together without him, but never said a single word. At least not that Toshiya knew about it.
One couldn't tell what a vampire thought and Kaoru made no exception as his features, his eyes and everything in him was simply unreadable for anybody.
It went on for some time like that, and at one point, Die even allowed Toshiya to drag him out to some places the human desperately wanted to visit. Toshiya was getting slightly more relaxed with the passing days, the memory of his dead friend fading slowly, being pushed to the background.
It wasn't long until Toshiya even stayed in the house till after dark without them going anywhere. Nothing had changed though, as Die had never promised he could protect him against his fellow vampires, but for some reason the human trusted that the others would respect Die's relationship to him and would leave him alone.
He was right with that, because at least the vampires who were occupying the house at times didn't harm him. Some scared the wits out of him, yes, but they never lay hands on him.
Nightfall had been a few hours ago already, when Kaoru quietly opened the door to the bedroom with the red walls and silently slid inside, arching an eyebrow at the sight that was presented to him. Die was lying on his back, gazing straight into his eyes, one arm wrapped loosely around the young human's naked form. Toshiya was fast asleep, probably exhausted, and still clung to the redhead as if he was his anchor to life.
There were no words exchanged, nothing else but a long knowing glance. Die didn't move a muscle, didn't blink and neither did the other vampire as they were staring each other in the eye. Then, Kaoru turned on his heels only to leave the room again and close the door behind him.
He went on the hunt alone that night, not having the needed patience to wait for the redhead, and not wanting to take anyone else with him either. It wasn't as if they didn't hunt alone at times, but it had happened more often lately.
It had become winter and the air smelled like snow. An easy season for the undead creatures as the days were short and the humans wrapped in thick coats, hoods on their heads which prevented them from hearing or seeing anything that was going on around them. Maybe that had been the reason why Kaoru had become careless.
Casually, he approached his victim, but before he could lay his hands on him, the young man turned around, a dagger in one hand and a small bottle in his other. Instantly, Kaoru dodged and the sharp weapon missed his neck only by inches, but drew a long deep wound across his chest. If that had been a perfect hit, he certainly would've lost his head.
Before he really noticed what was going on, there was a bunch of humans surrounding him. "Finally we got one of you bastards!"
For a short moment, the vampire looked into the distance as if he was waiting for something… or somebody. Yet, nothing happened and he barely managed to dodge another aim from his first opponent who now threw the small bottle at him.
"Shit! Gasoline," the vampire growled annoyed, the substance hurting the wound on his chest. He knew that one spark would be sufficient to light him like a torch and kill him. Shaking his head, he tried to gather a clear thought and acted only on instinct when he grabbed the dagger with one hand while the man tried to stab him again.
That action surprised his opponent so much that he didn't remember to light the Zippo in his hand and only stared Kaoru in the eyes for a moment, shocked. The next second, he was lying on the floor, his neck broken, and the vampire was already attacking the next one. But as the man lit a match, Kaoru rather fled and vanished in the darkness of the city streets.
He ran until he was sure that the humans had no chance to find him anymore, finally stopping in a dark alley to calm down and sort his thoughts. He was just about to get going when a voice cut through the darkness, carrying an amused undertone. "I told you, you won't be always there for each other."
As Kaoru turned his head, he spotted a small blonde figure sitting on a pile of boxes, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "How does it feel to be alone for once?"
"Oh shut up, Kyo!" Kaoru wasn't in the mood for something like that and glared at the other vampire. "That was just tough luck and it could've happened to all of us. Besides," he tilted his head a bit, grinning confidently, "I got the situation under control."
"You did, but it was a close call," Kyo shrugged a bit, obviously not really impressed in any way. "It would've been so much easier with someone covering for you. And now you are left without your prey." His eyes snapped up, looking straight into Kaoru's. "Where's Die? With the human again?"
There was nothing in Kaoru's eyes that gave away his thoughts when he nodded. "He's having his fun probably. Enjoying it while he still can." He stepped closer to the small one, bending down to look him straight in the face. "It's not like I'm dependant on him."
"And apparently he's not dependant on you." Came the carefree reply along with a crooked smile from the small vampire. "And a while ago, I thought you were inseparable. Everyone thought so."
"Just allow him his pet. That doesn't mean anything." Kaoru sounded a bit too casual to appear as if he didn't care at all. Yet, only a vampire might have noticed the slight change in his voice. "One word from me and the boy's history, so why worry?"
"You sound pretty confident." Kyo chuckled, jumped up to stand on his feet and winked at the taller vampire. "Just be sure that you won't be history before that. It wouldn't be cool to lose to a human, would it?"
"You better make sure that nobody slashes your throat in your sleep. I heard you were fooling around with some chicks that are somebody else's property," Kaoru replied with a wink.
"Don't worry; I'm used to being alone." The smaller vampire was already making his way further, had turned his back on the other one. Still, his words were clearly audible as he spoke up. "Unlike some others..."
The words made Kaoru think though and from that day on, he eyed the relationship between the redheaded vampire and the human more carefully. When Die asked him about the huge wound on his chest, he waved aside, telling him it was nothing and that he was glad Die hadn't been there as it would have only brought more troubles.
Toshiya on the other hand was glad that the redheaded vampire seemed to slowly grow apart from his companion or at least spend less time with him. He used the opportunity to find out if Die would be willing to leave with him and start a new life somewhere, a life where he would feed on humans without killing them, maybe even only live on blood donations from a blood bank. Who knew what was possible?
Still, it took a few weeks before he openly suggested things like that for the first time. It had been after making love and he was cuddling close to the vampire although he didn't provide warmth, drawing random patterns on his chest with his index-finger. That day, Die hadn't reacted at all, hadn't abandoned the idea nor agreed upon it.
That had caused Toshiya to grow more determined though, since at least the other man hadn't told him straight out to shut up about it. He began to mention it on different occasions, first carefully and then more straight, trying to convince the redhead it'd be the best choice.
He was convinced that now that Die had protected him against the other vampires, he would be able to protect Die against people in return, and they would be able to start all over somewhere together.
Even the lack of enthusiasm from the vampire didn't make him falter, and he persistently went on asking every time he sensed his chances; when Die was in a good mood, during mellow, silent moments together... He never got an answer though and was growing impatient slowly.
***
Toshiya sighed deeply and looked straight at the redheaded vampire who was leaning against the wall beside him. "Don't you think it would be so much better if it were just the two of us? Nobody to threaten my life and nobody to disturb you or drag you out to hunt. It would make stopping that easier."
"Hunting together makes things easier," Die answered shortly, almost disinterested, his eyes directed somewhere into the distance as he took a drag of his cigarette. He had developed a habit to smoke. After all, it wouldn't be able to kill him so he had no reason to drop it.
"But that's the point," Toshiya smiled triumphantly and even snatched the cig from the redhead to take a drag. "This is about stopping. No more senseless killing people but more like finding a way to live together. Don't you think this would be wonderful? Your conscience would be clean and mine too. You just have to take the step and leave this shithole and the others behind."
"What makes you so sure that I would be willing to stop it?" the redhead asked curiously, arching one of his delicate eyebrows. He didn't make a move to snatch the cigarette back though, patiently waiting until it was handed to him. "I've led this life for years, I think I know what I want."
"You didn't have me before," the black-haired man smiled widely. All those weeks he had spent together with the vampire had given Toshiya the needed certainty that the other one felt something for him, returned his feelings and that made him incredibly happy. It also enabled him to act around Die like he would act around a human lover. "It would be far less dangerous for either of us to live together elsewhere, without Kaoru or the others watching us all the time."
"Would be less dangerous for YOU." Die pointed out and suddenly turned to stare the human straight in the eye. "And easier for your human friends to get rid of me." Nothing had changed in his casual appearance, if one didn't count in the dangerous glimmer in his eyes.
"Nono, you got it all wrong." Toshiya shook his head and placed his hand on the vampire's forearm soothingly. "Of course it would be less dangerous for me, but you wouldn't need to worry. Nobody knows what you are and we can just keep it a secret. Here in big cities people don't care for you that much. They don't wonder when you're only seen at night. Besides," he was smiling softly, took the cigarette, he had given Die back, away from his mouth and gave him a short kiss, "we would be together. Just the two of us."
The expression on the vampire's face was again completely unreadable as he looked somewhere into the distance. Despite the time they had spent together, Toshiya hadn't learned to read the expressions at all, and it was always a total mystery for him what was going on in that pretty head of his. Finally, Die turned to look at him though, shrugging slightly. "You say you've thought it all through?"
"Yes," Toshiya nodded, the smile on his face widening as he was hoping Die was about to agree to his suggestion. He really had thought this through well, had counted his money and if he would work during daytime, he could afford a small apartment somewhere far away from here for both of them.
The good thing was that Die didn't need to eat normal food, which would save them some money. There was only one thing that worried him and that was the small dark haired vampire. Kaoru gave him the creeps. Whenever he stared at him, Toshiya felt his hackles curl. It was as if the other one was only waiting for the right moment to drain him.
So he averted his gaze and spoke tentatively. "We should make sure though that Kaoru can't follow us. I'm afraid he's after me."
Laughter sounded from a dark recess and said vampire stepped into the light, mirroring Die's position by folding his arms across his chest and leaning against the opposite wall casually. "Did I just hear my name? Are you already plotting plans to get rid of me?"
Toshiya flinched, nervously glancing first at the smaller vampire and then at the taller one. Die didn't make a single move, his expression staying motionless like it had been throughout the whole conversation.
Finally, he turned to look at the human though, arching an eyebrow. "Don't you think it would've been easier to just cut off his head when he was sleeping? You should know better than to plot against a vampire."
Toshiya turned pale and he took a step closer to the redhead, bringing him between Kaoru and himself. "I- I didn't mean to kill him," he finally got out, his eyes fixed on the smaller vampire to make sure he stayed where he was.
"Not? It sounded like that to me." Kaoru chuckled amused. "You should at least have the guts to admit it. It's too late now anyways. You will have to come and get my head if you want it." Teasingly, he stretched his neck and bared his throat for a moment.
"See," Toshiya whispered to Die, "he's dangerous. We should get rid of him, we have to."
"We do?" There was an amused sparkle in Die's eyes as he tilted his head to take a look at the human, a small grin forming on his lips. "Why is that?"
"Because if we don't kill him, he will kill me sooner or later." Seeing the redhead so amused startled Toshiya a bit, but after all, he was used to the vampire's mood-swings and that he often laughed about things which didn't appear funny.
"He wouldn't do anything like that." The redhead pursed his lips a bit, arching an eyebrow and threw a questioning glance at the smaller vampire. "Would you?"
A short moment of silence followed throughout which both vampires were just staring at each other. Finally, Kaoru shook his head, pursing his lips. "Not if you ask me to spare him."
Toshiya saw that this went all the wrong way and he again addressed Die, grabbing his sleeve to get his attention. "Don't believe him. I've seen his glares. If he had had the chance to do it without raising your suspicion, he would've killed me already. WE must get rid of him. YOU must decide." The last sentence was spoken louder, pleading and Toshiya was hoping that the tall vampire would finally show his obvious affection for him even before his friend.
"Decide?" The word had barely left the redhead's lips when he had already pinned the human against the wall, using his bodyweight to keep him still. Almost admiringly he ran his index finger along Toshiya's throat, following the trail with his gaze. "I don't even have to think about that."
His voice was thick, coated with lust and the next thing Toshiya felt was the sharp pain on his throat. Blood splashed from the fresh wound and when Die pulled back he had changed, his sharp fangs glistening with the bright red liquid. The human tried to scream, but all that came out was a gargling noise as he fell down on his knees, his wide, desperate eyes still directed at the redhead.
Shock and disbelief were clearly written in the gaze as he pressed his hand against his neck, trying to keep the blood from seeping out of the wounds. Suddenly, something caught his attention though and he moved his eyes away from the redhead, watching Kaoru step closer.
There was an eternal grin plastered to the smaller vampire's lips when he stepped beside the redhead and wrapped an arm around his waist. "I warned you," he purred, pulling his companion closer in a possessive manner.
There was something in the way that Die leaned closer into the embrace that broke Toshiya's heart, and even the blood that was flowing from the wound, the pain and the fear of death became irrelevant for the moment. Tears were glistening in his eyes but he could still see the two vampires clearly, unable to look away.
"I told you it wouldn't work out," Die stated in a mock compassionate voice, staring straight at the dying man. "You honestly thought I loved you? Let me tell you a secret; there's only one for me." The words were accompanied with a smirk, and it was painfully clear of whom the redhead was talking about.
In a gentle gesture, Kaoru brought his hand up to the taller vampire's cheek, turning his head towards himself. For a short moment, one could see a deep sparkle in his eyes, something that gave away he had never feared Die could betray him. The next moment, their lips met in a passionate kiss.

"Because if we don't kill him, he will kill me sooner or later." Seeing the redhead so amused startled Toshiya a bit, but after all, he was used to the vampire's mood-swings and that he often laughed about things which didn't appear funny.
"He wouldn't do anything like that." The redhead pursed his lips a bit, arching an eyebrow and threw a questioning glance at the smaller vampire. "Would you?"
A short moment of silence followed throughout which both vampires were just staring at each other. Finally, Kaoru shook his head, pursing his lips. "Not if you ask me to spare him."
Toshiya saw that this went all the wrong way and he again addressed Die, grabbing his sleeve to get his attention. "Don't believe him. I've seen his glares. If he had had the chance to do it without raising your suspicion, he would've killed me already. WE must get rid of him. YOU must decide." The last sentence was spoken louder, pleading and Toshiya was hoping that the tall vampire would finally show his obvious affection for him even before his friend.
"Decide?" The word had barely left the redhead's lips when he had already pinned the human against the wall, using his bodyweight to keep him still. Almost admiringly he ran his index finger along Toshiya's throat, following the trail with his gaze. "I don't even have to think about that."
His voice was thick, coated with lust and the next thing Toshiya felt was the sharp pain on his throat. Blood splashed from the fresh wound and when Die pulled back he had changed, his sharp fangs glistening with the bright red liquid. The human tried to scream, but all that came out was a gargling noise as he fell down on his knees, his wide, desperate eyes still directed at the redhead.
Shock and disbelief were clearly written in the gaze as he pressed his hand against his neck, trying to keep the blood from seeping out of the wounds. Suddenly, something caught his attention though and he moved his eyes away from the redhead, watching Kaoru step closer.
There was an eternal grin plastered to the smaller vampire's lips when he stepped beside the redhead and wrapped an arm around his waist. "I warned you," he purred, pulling his companion closer in a possessive manner.
There was something in the way that Die leaned closer into the embrace that broke Toshiya's heart, and even the blood that was flowing from the wound, the pain and the fear of death became irrelevant for the moment. Tears were glistening in his eyes but he could still see the two vampires clearly, unable to look away.
"I told you it wouldn't work out," Die stated in a mock compassionate voice, staring straight at the dying man. "You honestly thought I loved you? Let me tell you a secret; there's only one for me." The words were accompanied with a smirk, and it was painfully clear of whom the redhead was talking about.
In a gentle gesture, Kaoru brought his hand up to the taller vampire's cheek, turning his head towards himself. For a short moment, one could see a deep sparkle in his eyes, something that gave away he had never feared Die could betray him. The next moment, their lips met in a passionate kiss.

Okay, but well, Die could've turned Totchi at one point if he had wanted to be with him, but of course his loyalty belongs to Kaoru.
We both,
