Nightwalker Fan Fiction ❯ The Bells ❯ Bell Chimes- Part 3 ( Chapter 12 )

Disclaimer: No, I don't own Cain and Shido or any of the other characters from Nightwalker, no matter how much the voice in my head sounds like Guni…

Further Disclaimer: I myself (though half German by lineage) do not understand nor speak a lick of German. All of the translations within this fic were provided by an online dictionary. If they are wrong or I (more than likely) have screwed them up, I am VERY SORRY! Please be gentle, but feel free to correct me if you know otherwise. Please do not take my translations as fact!!!

Warning: As in just about all the fan fiction I write, this fic contains YAOI, or Male/Male relationships that are, as always, incredibly graphic. To me, it's art, and therefore restricting it would be not only stupid, but futile as my muse would beat me into submission and scream for me to write it anyway…

Chapter 12: Bell Chimes- Part 3

"Ken'ichi?" Cain growled. "What does that have anything to do with right--"

"No, Cain--ah. Please, listen," Shido panted.

Cain nuzzled his lover's neck, "Must we discuss--"

"Yes!" Shido snapped, then tensed when Cain did as well. "It's just…you've changed. I don't know how, or why and…and I don't think I really care. I--I love you too much to care. I know it can change. It probably will and…and I know I can handle it, if it does--"

"Shido--"

"No, Cain! I--I don't care anymore. I just…Ken'ichi is so impressionable, right now. I don't ever want him to be like me. I don't ever want him to have to second guess. I--I want him to stay innocent, for as long as he can." Shido took a deep breath. "I'm willing to give you what you want and in exchange--"

"Don't do this to me, Shido--"

"And in exchange, I want you to do everything in your power to see that Ken'ichi isn't ever harmed. In any way!" Shido sighed. He'd done it. If Cain agreed, he'd be giving away the one thing he had left…his freedom.

"Don't do this, Shido. Don't put conditions like this on our relationship," Cain almost choked. It was a struggle to keep his voice even.

"Promise me, Cain. If I mean anything to you, promise me."

"You have my word, Shido," Cain said, finally.

"As a vampire?"

"As your lover--"

"As my mate?"

Those words made Cain pause. Time and time again, Cain had referred to themselves as mates, but never once had it come from Shido. He'd never acknowledge that, despite him knowing it, deep down. "As your mate. As the man holding you right now. As all that I am, ever was, and ever shall be."

"I love you," Shido said, his hand coming up to the back of Cain head, pressing him closer to an ivory neck.

"And I you," Cain replied before kissing the pale column, then sinking pearlescent fangs into soft skin, relishing his mate's strangled moan of ecstasy…his mate.

Ken'ichi looked over to Everard. "As much as you're allowed?" He leaned over intently. "What do you mean allowed?"

"All the vampires at this coven," Everard laughed briefly, "Well, those of us that were here before the beginning of the Golden Dawn, were sworn to secrecy."

"Secrecy of what? By who?"

At that moment, Everard seemed older that his vampiric body let on, as if a weary old man were staring at him through a young man's eyes. "Cain," was all the elder vampire said, an he tilted his head downward to avoid seeing the reaction, but heard Ken's audible gasp…

***

Shido cried out as Cain thrust a slickened finger deep enough to rub against that one spot deep inside him. His vision swam with want and need, even as his conscience swam with guilt and uncertainty. He'd finally done it. He'd undoubtedly, unerringly and inexorably committed himself, mind, body and soul, to Cain, for the rest of his life. And though his mind told him it had come at a price, his heart and his body cried out that he would have given himself freely, if given the same choice again. He wanted Cain. No. He needed Cain. And that final thought scared him the most.

Shido shifted down on the bed, trying to get more of that delicious friction, but his mates fangs prevented it. Thought not actively feeding from him, Cain was still very much inside Shido, in more ways than one, and more ways than he knew. The elder vampire had, somehow, found a way into Shido's heart once more. This time, it was Shido that was vulnerable, and he hoped to any god that would still listen, that Cain would cherish the trust the younger vampire had placed in him…

***

"Shido is a very special vampire," Everard said, "I cannot tell you how, or why, or even how I know the boy as well as I do, that if for your sire to explain, but I can tell you this much. The power that resides in Shido's body is amazing, incredible…but not stable."

"How so?" Ken asked.

"How can I put this in terms that you will understand?" Everard paused. "Shido is…he is like a battery, for want of a better comparison. The only problem, is that he is a battery that is constantly charging. The longer Shido doesn't use his power, the more energy that builds up."

"But how is that a bad thing?"

"Think of what happens when a battery overloads, Kleines."

"You mean--?"

"Yes. Shido needs to discharge a certain portion of that stored energy, or it will backfire on himself."

"But, why doesn't Tatsuhiko just use his power then?"

Everard shook his head, "That is the equivalent of setting off a nuclear bomb just because all it is doing is lying around."

"So Shido has to find another release?"

"Yes."

"And that release is…?"

"Kleines, what is the thing which brings us life in the first place?"

"Blood," Ken whispered, "he gives up a little bit of power when he gives up his blood…"

***

Cain slipped in another finger and drank the heavy gasp that Shido issued. He kept the pace slow, but steady, growing even slower when he sensed his mate reaching the brink. His mate. The very thought sent a jolt through his body even as it sent a chill through his spine. Finally. And after so long waiting for that, there was no way in heaven, earth or hell that he was going to lose it again. He slipped away from Shido's neck, marveling over the now bright red patch on ivory that would soon turn purple. "Are you ready, love?" Cain whispered….

***

"Yes," Everard replied. "Every time Cain senses Shido's power growing too strong, he is the release. By taking a bit of Shido's blood, he also takes a little bit of Shido's power. It is that power that changes Cain, it brings out the kinder, gentler vampire he once was, before treacherous humans made him a cruel and jaded creature."

"But then…I gotta go tell Tatsuhiko!" Ken rose, but was hauled backwards by his arm, which Everard had grasped.

"Beware, Kleines!" He warned, "Talk with your sire first. Be careful with your knowledge--"

"But--!"

"Kleines! Beware, for I sense the same power growing within you!"

That made Ken'ichi pause…

***

"Yes, yes! Oh, God Cain, yes!" Shido panted. He felt his love's fingers slip away, and moaned at their loss, then hissed as something much larger began to press it's way in, to take their place. "Ngh…"

Cain grit his teeth at the exquisite pressure around his need as he pressed his way into Shido, careful to let his mate adjust before thrusting in a small way to seat himself fully. He was still for a long moment listening to his lover's panting slow once more.

"Oh-oh God!" Shido swallowed, trying to stop himself from acting like an over-eager virgin…but something…something deep inside needed to…something deep inside needed to be taken out, needed to be swallowed whole by the passion that Cain was stirring in his loins. "Cain…Cain, for heaven's sake, move!" Shido moaned out. He felt as though he would die if he couldn't feel Cain again. All thoughts of what had just transpired driven from his mind with rampant passion. "Please," he whispered fiercely, "please," again, and he pulled his lavender locks from his shoulder, baring a gloriously pale column of flesh. He wanted the penetration, but he wanted it everywhere, anywhere, he just wanted it…

Cain latched onto the skin of Shido's throat, bruising the skin possessively as he began to thrust hard into his mate's willing and prone body. Shido was curving gracefully off the bed with the aid of his forearms, begging Cain with his voice and his body.

Shido didn't hold back anything, least of all the noises his lover was wringing from him. He pushed up on his arms, meeting Cain thrust for thrust and let out an almost animalistic growl when the golden locked vampire's mouth widened on his throat, taking in more of the pale skin and sucking deliciously. He was so engulfed in the passion that he wasn't expecting what came next.

Cain pulled out of Shido, the younger man moaning loudly at the loss of contact, until his lover flipped him over onto his newly healed back, pulled his legs around his waist, and thrust back up into him…hard.

Shido howled and Cain took advantage of the open mouth, kissing Shido passionately, thrusting in his tongue as a mimicking shadow of what his cock was doing at the same time.

Shido pushed back on Cain until the older man was sitting, and sank down on his swollen cock, moaning as he began to ride his creator.

Cain wrapped strong arms around Shido's chest and thrust up into him as he sank down, again and again until he couldn't stand it anymore. "I love you," he whispered, the confession barely audible to Shido, who looked to him confused, before his sire sank his teeth into his neck and thrust up sharply, one final time.

Shido shrieked as Cain clamped down his jaws on his throat, as he came in spurts inside him, but Cain's hands held his own when they would have gone to his cock to stroke himself off. "Wha--what?" Shido choked as Cain pulled his flaccid cock out of him. The golden haired vampire lowered himself until he came level with Shido's very swollen, very erect cock, and Shido watched a rare smile blossom on the vampire's face. "Wh--when did you get so play--ay--ful?" but the protest died on his tongue as Cain blew over the tip of his arousal, moist and glistening with rivulets of precum.

Cain languished on the tip of Shido's arousal, licking, kissing, sucking, when he knew he should have not. The younger vampire was very on the edge, but with the buzz of power that he'd just received, Cain could go on forever. If Shido came now, he was sure he could bring the younger vampire to arousal again…and again…and again…if he wanted.

"C--Cain!" Shido cried as he was engulfed in a hot, wet mouth, a tongue swirling about his arousal, even as he ached to run his fingers in golden locks. Cain's hands were tight on his even as he began to thrust. Oh, he didn't want to come yet…he didn't want it to end…didn't want the passion to fade…but all too soon he did, grunting rather indignantly as he released in Cain's mouth. His back arched, regardless of its still tender state, and then sank back to the bed.

He felt his lover lap at his shrinking cock, cleaning him, then moving higher, to the tender flesh above the thatch of lavender hair that surrounded his cock, and lovingly sink his teeth into the thin, pale skin. He drank deeply while Shido tingled in the after effect of his release. He moved up yet again, running his teeth over the arches of Shido's ribs, then his pectorals. He moved again, his tongue searching out the thinnest patch of skin over the artery that flowed near the surface of Shido's chest. He sank his teeth in again, marking Shido again, drinking again.

Finally, Cain made his way back to Shido's neck, and pierced into the thick artery in his neck yet again, making another bite mark, marking Shido as his. Tentative arms wrapped around him as he fed again, this time in earnest. He finished and pulled back, his eyes automatically drawn to the four sets of teeth marks that still seeped a little, and smiled. His own face was speckled with blood, his chin covered in the smeared essence, his tongue red with its color, his mouth full of it's flavor.

Shido leaned up a little and ran his tongue over his lover's chin, lapping his own blood from the pale golden features. He finished and slanted his lips over his lover's mouth, closing it hotly over powerful but pliant lips, tasting Cain, tasting his flavor as well as his own blood…
