I gazed at the ground, a pleased smile on my face as he spoke. Ah, how funny it was to know that I was probably one of the few people to stand before him and not be swayed. I was probably the only one of them that was human. "And a human at that." I grinned like a sheepish little girl. Oh how it had been fun winning him over and there was only going to be more fun and different things in our life. Though mine would be much shorter than his, the time we spent together would be full of happy memories, or so I hoped. That was the moment I realized my hands were still on his chest and I stared at them for a moment, thinking about removing them, but really finding no reason to. He was warm and well, being a typical female, any part of me that wasn't covered was freezing cold.

His quiet voice was soothing and I worked to not lean into him and place my head on his chest. I had to hold my own for the moment and I ran my tongue over my lower lip over and over. It was as though I couldn't get that taste off my tongue and it was delightful. I had to keep telling myself to stop doing that or he was going to notice and possibly start looking at me funny and I really didn't want that. It would have be awkward for me. My eyes focused on the movement of his hand as he stuck it in his pocket and drew a vile from it. I tilted my head as I watched him. My eyes moved up to his face and my lips parted as I answered him, "I promise." The words came from my mouth in a smooth quiet tone, almost a whisper. I nearly jumped out of my skin when he split his lip again, but then I realized what he was going and quickly settled myself. I needed to be calm or he'd think I was scared. I wasn't though. I was just an excitable person at times.

I listened to what he was telling me, about breaking the vile and how it could also heal my wounds. I raised a brow at him when he mentioned just smearing it. Yeah, he'd just wanted to kiss me. I looked to the side and down, lightly biting my lip to keep from smiling. I really could have kicked him for that one, but I couldn't say that I minded too much.I'd wanted him to kiss me, so it was fine. Arrogant jerk that he was at times. I felt him tie the vile around my neck and I stared up at him as he did so. The hands that remained on his chest slipped around to his back and I hugged him, hard. I knew it wouldn't seem hard to him, but I put all my strength into it as my head came down on his chest. I could feel the vibration of his speech against my cheek and I closed my eyes against the feeling. It was nice, soothing. How odd that I enjoyed him talking so much. "A little of both, I guess." I looked up at him and pressed my lips just under his jaw. "I think I'm just glad you caved in." The words were said against his jawline as a grin spread over my lips.

[Eri]

Kyo looked at her calmly when she mentioned her being a human and having tamed him. "Perhaps it's a good thing that my family is dead, otherwise they might change or kill you just to spite me." He said, frowning slightly. Perhaps Sai had done a good thing when he'd destroyed the clan. Ah well. He had loved his parents but ah well, perhaps now it really was for the best.
He looked at her curiously when he could have sworn he felt her muscles tensed. One eyebrow rose slightly though it was likely to be unseen under his headband. He shrugged it off. She probably wasn't used to the bizarre things that vampires did. Hell, he could pull his arm off right now and put it back on and it would function well, at least once he had a little more blood in him.
He nodded and smiled when she promised to keep his demands in mind. His gift was a blessing and a curse at the same time because it could help her, but his enemies would hone in on her thinking to strike at him, and he would rather die than to have her hurt because of him.
He noted her look and chuckled slightly. "Do you blame me? It was such a tempting place for a cut that needed to be healed." He said with a playful little smile. He grunted softly in surprise when she hugged him. "No breaking any ribs please, I kinda need them." He said easily, looking down at her with his curiously dark eyes. Had he seen the color of his eyes he would have likely fled, fearing for her life.
As it was the beast that desired the girl was keeping him firmly rooted to the spot he was standing on. Not that he minded right now but he didn't like letting the beast have control over him in the least. His will wavered for a moment when she kissed him. He could take her if he so wanted. He shut his eyes and took a deep breath before bending his neck and brushing her cheek with his lips. "But let's hope I don't cave too much, else we'll both regret it." He whispered as he opened his once cool colored eyes. [/size]

I looked away from him as he spoke. I wasn't sure I liked knowing that his family was dead, but it didn't seemed to bother him so I just brushed it away. Allowed it to fall from my mind as I turned my gaze back up to him. I knew what I was getting myself into, but that didn't matter. I kept my hold on him, arms still wrapped tightly. Maybe I was just glad to not be by myself right now, but that could also be down fall one of these days. How I was one of those people who got close to others fairly easily, but still.

The nod of his head was felt rather than seen and I grinned as I looked up at him, seeing his smile. It was nice, knowing that he actually cared whether or not I promised. I felt my fingers play along his spine, slowly and without my telling them to. I was always moving in someway and my body was so still right now that my fingers were what shifted and glided. It was weird having something solid against me. Normally it would have just been my pillow that would have gotten this much attention, but no. It was an actual male. I wondered if he could tell that this was new to me.

A made a face at his words and brought a hand forward to hit his chest lightly. "I don't blame you, but yesh!" I said with a wicked smile before placing my hand back where it had been against his back. "Ha! Me break your ribs? I don't really see that happening." I said, pressing my forehead against his chest while trying to hide a smile. I felt his lips brush my cheek and I took a deep breath, listening to what he was saying with a temptresses gleam in my eyes. "How do you know I'll regret it?" I said, turning my head and brushing my lips over his.

[Eri]

Kyo looked at her curiously wondering what she was plotting. Though he shivered slightly feeling her fingers playing with along his spine. He chuckled slightly when she mentioned not being able to break his ribs. "Vampires are only stronger because we're faster to dodge blows, it doesn't mean we're invincible against broken bones, though we do heal faster." He said calmly, so it was viable she could break his ribs if he wasn't paying attention. Of course he'd suffered worse. He grimaced slightly remembering some of the fights he'd gotten into with Sakon, or even other vampires through out the years.
He shook his head to banish those thoughts as she hit his chest. "That's not very nice." He said, giving a wry smirk. When her lips met his he pressed his mouth harder than he intended. "Because my lovely, if I lose control, you could end up dead." I whispered, lifting my hand to her face and freezing when I felt cold skin. "Shit, you're as cold as death." He muttered, gaze sharpening slightly. Of course she would be, and being around a vampire wasn't likely to help body heat issues.
He grumbled slightly to himself. "Come on, you need to get to some place warmer before you freeze." He said easily, searching for his cloak and fastening it to her shoulders before lifting her. "Time to go some place warm." He said with a soft smile before easing into a run. He lurched slightly so that he was almost flying as he jumped. "Easier to run up here." He said, wondering if she heard him as he moved quickly until he found what he was looking for and stopped on the fire escape, before forcing the window open and easing inside. "It'll do I suppose, sorry if it's messy. Bachelor for over three thousand years after all." He said with a shrug as he stood inside waiting for her to come in. He wondered absently if she would freak over how old he really was but shrugged it off. He glanced around the place frowning slightly, well, it wasn't too messy but it wasn't as clean as he'd like it to be. Ah well. He glanced behind him for Ashe before it struck him that she might be a little messed up after the little trip. He turned around, gaze flicking around for her.[/size]

I raised a brow at him and nodded my head slowly. "This is me we're talking about. I couldn't hurt a fly."

I looked down then a slow smile spreading over my lips. It was kind of nice, knowing that I could hurt him and he could hurt me. It made us almost equal because we could make each other very happy if we wanted to. Very happy indeed. A teasing tone came into my voice as I said, "Like you dodged my blow?" I looked up at him once more with mischievous eyes. Oh what an entertainment I was. I listened to him tell me that hitting him wasn't very nice and I rolled my eyes. "You didn't dodge that one either." I stuck my tongue out at him with a grin.

The hard press of his lips to mind was a delight and I pressed back just as hard. Sure, I would probably manage to give myself a bruise, but that was okay by me. It was a bruise caused by bliss. "I don't think you could do that. I think you'd end up stopping yourself far before that point." My voice was a low whisper just like his and I looked up at him with total trust even as he remarked on my cold skin. "I'm always cold. I can't help it. I'm a typical human female." My shoulders lifted in a shrug even as he grumbled. I tilted my head as he fastened his cloak about my shoulders.

I gasped as he picked me up and struggled for, but a moment. "What!?!" I wasn't sure how I felt about this as he took off at a run and jumped up. I nearly screamed as we went up, but I was able to hold it back as I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face in the curve of his shoulder and neck. I hardly knew when we stopped and when I was on my feet again. I leaned against the fire escape rail, eyes shut tightly for a moment, listening to him talk about how the place was mess. I didn't even mind when he said he'd been alive for over three thousand years. I opened my eyes slowly and looked at him with wide eyes as I let out a funny little laugh.

My hands shoved off the rail and I slowly made my way into the room. I was shaky as I touched my feet onto the ground and had to close my eyes for a moment longer. "I'm pretty sure I almost had a heart attack." I said, giving him a glare that could have peeled paint. It probably wouldn't have really bothered him, but as I took a step forward my balance seemed to fail me and my legs gave out.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

[Eri]

Kyo chuckled slightly at Ashe's comments."Who says I'm not mildly masochistic? Or perhaps I knew I deserved to be hit you know?" He said calmly. One brow raised slightly when she mentioned being a typical female and getting cold easily. He didn't remember anything like that happening with Mother, or Eri, or even any of the other female family members. Oh wait, vampires, riiight. Ah well. "We should both hope I'd be able to stop before anything bad happened." He said calmly.
He smiled slightly, though it was a sad smile when she mentioned nearly having an heart attack. "Sorry, it was quicker than walking though, and now you're some place warm, at least I hope it's warm for you." He said calmly as he turned to look at him and saw the glare and then her stumble. He shot forward, moving as quickly as he could to catch her. "Ashe?! Are you ok?" He asked, worry edging into his tone. Had he over done it with carrying her? No, he hadn't even been running full tilt then. Had she just merely stumbled? He hoped so, even if he would be a fool for being so dramatic. It was better safe than sorry at least.[/size]

I lifted a hand to my head and laughed softly. "Just a head rush. I moved to fast, I guess." I smiled up at him easily. It was no big deal. I was known to have simple things like this happen. He'd have to get used to it too. I tripped over nothing often enough that it was just sad sometimes to see how I would brush it off with a soft laugh. I pressed a hand to his chest and moved back a little, looking into his face. "I like how you call yourself a beast and yet here you are, catching me before I fall." I shook my head and straightened fully before stretching my arms over my head. Usually I would have been home by now and fast asleep. It was late for me. Really late, but it looked like my sleeping patterns would be changing and I rather liked that idea. Change was good and this was just what I needed.

[Eri]

He sniffed slightly, as if knowing she was lying when she said she moved too fast. He found that hard to believe but he stayed silent otherwise as his gaze focused on her, just watching her to make sure she was fine and unharmed.
He chuckled slightly though it was almost sad sounding. "Even a beast is noble on some occasions. And if you ever see me fight, which I hope you never do, you'll understand why I'm a monster." He said calmly. As she stretched he turned and started to roam through the rest of the apartment, kicking anything that happened to be in his way as he made his way to the fridge and opened it with a jerk, hoping that perhaps there would be some food in there for the girl should she get hungry. He wasn't exactly used to entertaining guests, unless they were for dinner, and that wasn't exactly often. The good thing of being an elder vampire, he could control my thirst better, even if the more he starved the more the primal beast within him emerged. He loved blood, don't get him wrong, but he hated ending the lives of others, except for Sakon, but that was a different story.
He moved back towards the room and jabbed a thumb over his shoulder. "There's food if you get hungry. I doubt you can sustain yourself on blood like I can." He said calmly as he leaned back against the wall, lifting a knee and crossing his arms slightly. What was he doing?! He shouldn't have brought her here. "Or you can crash if need be. I won't do anything to you." He said with a small smile. At least he wouldn't do anything without her permission first, maybe.
That's when he noticed how strange he felt without his cloak on and his fingers twitched. It wasn't a big deal, but he liked the cloak, it made him feel like he could hide his emotions better, especially since most could barely meet his gaze because of the sheer oddity of their color. Not that he minded much at least.[/size]

I knew he believed me to be lying by the sound he made and I just shook my head and looked around myself. It was nice, for having a lone male living in it. A lot cleaner than my friend's place had ever been. I glared at him for a moment, refusing to give his statement and answer because I didn't believe it in the least. I turned in a slow cirle, taking it all in while he want off into the kitchen. I glanced that way and made my way further into the room and leaned around so I could see within, but quickly resumed my glances here and there. I ran a hand through my hair, pulling it out from under the cloak that he had placed about my shoulders. It fell about me in silky waves and I looked at him with a wicked gleam in my eyes.

A smirk came over my face as I moved toward him. "I don't want food or sleep." I said in a sultry whisper before running an arm acrossed his waist and walking away with a bit of a swing in my step. I moved easily through the apartment, guessing my way until I found the bedroom. I tossed a place over my shoulder, raising an eyebrow at him before walking into the room, leaving the door wide open and laying back on the bed, arms sprawled over my head while one leg was raised and the other lay smoothly out in front of me. I wondered for a moment what he thought of his picture. Probably not much since he was so in control of himself. I rolled over onto my stomach and allowed one of my arms to come up over my head. I would wait right here. For him.

[Eri]

Kyo's gave seem to be riveted on her, what was going through his mind was something that probably should never be repeated. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to try and calm himself as he lowered his lifted leg to the ground. At the moment he was going to exhale he felt her touch over his waist and his eyes flew open, following her as his breath was exhaled in a shudder.
He watched her calmly, noting her words. No food or sleep? Fine, but did she know what she was really asking for? It seemed so, or rather he was hoping so. He could hear her moving in the bedroom and he muttered darkly under his breath before walking after her.
That's when he saw her roll over and he sighed softly, his gaze flicking over her quickly and he moved before he even realized he was moving until he was kneeling on the bed and bent close to her ear as he lightly kissed the back of her neck. "Now you've gone and done it." He whispered, just barely letting his lips brush against her neck as he spoke. [/size]

I laid there and wondered if he would stand there all night. I didn't like that idea too much. I heard footsteps and figured I would get reprimanded for what I had done. Oh well, whatever. If that was how it was, we would work on it. I closed my eyes and allowed my mind to wonder off to places that it shouldn't have been going, that's when I felt a new weight on the bed and lips against my skin. I shivered at the brush of his lips on my skin. I hide my smirk in the mattress and turned my head to the side after a moment, attempting to look at him, but not full managing the motion. "Gone and done what?" I asked in a soft whisper. Sure, I knew what I had done, but that was for me to know and him to tell me. I pressed my lips together and stretched one of my arms over my head while the other reached back and tangled in his hair.

[Eri]

Kyo smiled slightly despite himself at her comment. "You're begging for trouble you know?" He whispered with a small little laugh even as he felt her hand get entangled in his hair and for the first time he thought about getting his hair cut since it was awfully long, not like he'd ever had to consider this before but he drove that thought from his mind. He leaned into her hand a little like a dog might getting its ear scratched.
He sighed slightly before kissing her neck a couple times and pausing. Oh how simple it would be to just sink his fangs in. He shut his eyes tightly as he fought the urge. He wouldn't have to drain her, just a little sip, that would end up leading to greater amounts. He released a shuddering sigh. "You know, this is kind of an awkward position for us both." He said with a playful little grin as he leaned a little further out to kiss her cheek. Oh sure he could have rolled her over himself, but that also meant he could do something like break her arm or something else, like ripping his own hair out which wouldn't be pleasant. At least he was relatively patient and considerate.[/size]

I looked over my shoulder at him and raised an eyebrow. "Only for trouble with you. The good kind that is." I released his hair and placed my arm infront of me with the other one. I'd felt him lean into my hand and I almost hadn't wanted to take my hand away, but I did, knowing I was going to have to roll over in a moment or he'd do it for me. Maybe. He was always careful with me, which was sweet and delightful.

The press of his lips was a warm welcome everytime he did it, but he stopped and I almost wanted to move my head around and glance at him, but I would be good and wait to see what happened. "Yes, I guess your right." I said as I felt his lips brush my cheek. I rolled over slowly and looked up at him with half closed eyes and a very sultry smile. My hands reached up and landed lightly on either side of his face. I held it as I would a presious object that might run away from me. I leaned up and kissed him once before droping my head back down.

[Eri]

Kyo sighed softly, almost in resentment when she had pulled her hand from his hair. He smiled broadly at her comment. "But how much trouble can you put up with?" He asked, though it was a rhetorical question. He wouldn't let any trouble within even a mile of her anymore, if he could help. He'd do a bigger radius, but that would be too much trouble. Ah well.
He shifted slightly when she started to move and he smiled softly, almost longingly. He was how old and been single how long? Yeah, rather sad but it didn't matter to him. He'd been waiting for the right woman and it so seemed that she happened to be a human that wasn't even a hundreth of his age. Which was rather creepy to think so he pushed the thoughts from his head even as he felt her hands on his face.
He returned her kiss and shifted once again, leaning towards her and wanting to sink his teeth in yet again but he forced the thought away with a blink of his eyes. Was it getting that easy to control himself? Good. He eyed his cloak calmly, noting that now it was getting in the way. His gaze flicked up to her as reached up to unfasten the cloak. He leaned forward a little to kiss where her chin and neck met. "You don't know exactly what trouble you've just invited." He muttered softly as he moved a little more onto the bed and moved to kiss her lips vigorously.

I was utterly blissed out, sore but in a really nice way. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, letting my mind come down from the high it was on. My eyes opened once more and I looked over at him. There was a weakness coming over me, a need for sleep and relaxation. Sure, I was already totally relaxed, but still. I looked up at the ceiling and smiled lightly up at it. My mind was far from being in the totally normal spectrul of my mind and I was more than willing to curel up in a ball and never move from this spot again. I reached out to him and ran my finger tips over bare skin and sighed before rolling onto my side and cuddling into the bed. My eyes closed tightly and a smile bloomed over my features as I leaned against the person behind me. This was so nice. So very, very nice.
