wakes up in a bed that isn't her own.....oh yeah.
Chrome
has
a headache. How long was she asleep for anyway?
Kikyo
is
still sleeping in the bed.
sits up and feels really dizzy.
shifts his body.
should probably lie back down, but of course she tries to get up.
starts to wake up from feeling someone else's movement.
nearly falls over when she stands up.
hears noise, he sits up. feeling a bit disoriented.
Chrome
thinks
she has her bearings, but when she tries to take a step, she falls back on the bed.
sighs. "You shouldn't push yourself too much".
Chrome
has
a headache. "I'm not..."
Kikyo
asks
How are you feeling?
Chrome
says
Dizzy.
gets out of the bed. "Why don't you just lie down a little longer?".
sits back up. "I'm fine."
hums, "Alright". looks at himself... he still has on the clothes covered in blood from last night.
Chrome
thinks
he should probably change.
Kikyo
will
go change.. and shower too.
lays back down after he's out of the room.
out of the room, he sees that there was blood on the floor too. he'll clean it later, he thinks as he makes his way to the bathroom.
realizes she's still in her clothes from the day before...and all her other clothes were in the fire......
in the bathroom, he looks at the condition of his clothes in the mirror before he starts stripping. guess he'll need to go shopping later, that was his second jacket in two days.
contemplates sitting up again, but she decides to stay laying down for a little while longer.
getting in the shower, he turns on the water. he looks down at the cut that was now healed. gone as if it never happened, even though there were a lot of events the other night.
Chrome
is
finally able to sit up and she catches her reflection in the mirror. She looks pale, more than usual, and has two small marks on the side of her neck.
sighs. the water feel nice on him. he combs back his hair, recollecting the events. he didn't see any of this coming, nor could he truly explains his actions.
places her hand on her neck. It's really red and a bit sore.
Kikyo
feels
strangely energetic, even when he drank he didn't feel this active. maybe it was just her blood?
's blood is probably a lot different from a normal human's.
figures as much, she is a slayer.
Chrome
wonders
why she isn't bouncing back as well, normally she does.
did drink more than he was suppose to.
rests her head in her hands.
finishes showering, he stops the water.
probably should eat something...
gets out, only to realize he only has a towel and forgot to bring clothes with him. oh well.
look up to see a shirtless Kikyo. Oh hello...
sees that Chrome was lying down, he meets her stare. maybe forgetting clothes isn't so bad. "still feeling dizzy?".
Chrome
is
bright red seeing his naked chest. "A little..."
smirks at how much she was blushing. "That's good to hear". he turns to the closet, his back facing her.
sits back up.
looks through his clothes. "You need something to change into as well i'm guessing".
nods, looking at his back. "Yeah."
pulls out a few options. "those should do for now, we can always go out for something better longer on". he places the clothes on the bed for her.
looks to see what he pulled out.
had picked a mix of shirts, sweaters and pants. he turns back to the closet to pick clothes for himself.
Chrome
wonders
why he has women's clothes in his closet.....
had lots of visitors.
grabs a pair of jeans and a tank top. She wonders if he has any....undergarments but doesn't ask.
probably adding it in the bunch he gave, he just didn't want to say.
found it. She goes to change in the bathroom and finds that walking gives her a headrush.
changes while she's gone. putting on a pair of black jeans and a t-shirt. he pulls on a jacket he's willing to get a little dirty in case of anything.
walks out in the clothes. She's pretty sure her jacket's in the hallway from last night.
Kikyo
is
cleaning the floor when she walks out.
pulls her jacket on. "Do you want help?"
shakes his head. "I'm almost done". luckily there wasn't too much blood.
eyes the staff she pulled out of the secret room the night before.
finishes cleaning. he goes to wash off the rag. "So you gonna tell me how you got that staff?". he saw her looking at it.
Chrome
says
I found it. Why do you have it?
puts the rag in the sink. "it was mine when I was human".
tilts her head. "And all the other weapons...?"
nods. "some of them i got after i was turned, mostly the guns". oh she found the trap walls.
Chrome
asks
Why do you have a whole artillery of weapons?
pauses. "I didn't know how to use my abilities as a vampire at first. So i needed to learn other means for survival and protection"
nods. "Kikyo....when were you turned?"
turns to look at her, leaning against the counter. "100 years ago not very long in vampire terms".
nods. "Is the per-...um, vampire that turned you still around or....?"
sighs "No, He's still around. alive and well in this city too actually".
listens. "Slayers view it as a high crime. Changing someone..."
hums. "It's understandable why it would be viewed as one".
sighs. "What happened at the meeting last night? Before you almost got killed." She smiles slightly.
laughed softly." It was fine, the issue was discussed about the delinquent vampires and the fire, we had to put it out too. I was put in charge of hunting them down, then that was when i was almost killed".
Chrome
asks
No one got on you about harboring a slayer?
stayed quiet for a second. "One vampire did".
listens. "Go on..."
sighs. "they said even if those delinquent vampires made the fire... it was to kill a slayer, or they wouldn't do it. When I was exposed, it was either I hunt them or they hunt you".
's breath catches in her throat. "How do you know they won't still......?"
looks down. "It wouldn't make sense if they did. I already killed those other vampires, they were ultimately the main cause not you."
Chrome
feels
the guilt setting back in. "They did it because of me!!"
looks back at her. "It doesn't mean you should blame yourself.".
raises her voice. "But I am to blame!! They wouldn't have started the fire if it wasn't for me. All those people....they'd still be alive!"
Kikyo
is
slightly taken aback, but speaks calmly. "This is just the way it is...For slayers or vampires and humans for that matter".
's hands are balled up in fists again and tears are rolling down her cheeks. "But it's my fault!"
reaches his arms out, bringing her into an embrace "It's not just your fault".
Chrome
is
shaking. "It is."
wraps his arms around her. "No it's not, it's also those idiot vampires".
leans into his chest. "But those innocent people..."
gently strokes her head. "will forgive you, you're just as innocent.".
looks up at him. "How? I've killed."
shakes his head slowly. "You didn't, those vampires set the place on fire, not you besides... what good what it do if you died in that fire too?".
's eyes become downcast. He has a point.
wipes her tears.
looks up at him. "How many were there?"
pauses. "...55".
's heart breaks. "My God....."
looks away. " I didn't find any children... some of the causalities were also dhampires and vampires that tried to stop the fire".
Chrome
asks
No children?
Kikyo
says
no children.
lets out a sigh of relief.
Kikyo
asks
feel a bit better about it?
sighs. "Barely."
hums. "Why don't we get something to eat?".
Chrome
gives
him a weird look.
looks at her. "what?"
Chrome
says
Think about it.
Kikyo
says
you mean about eating?
Chrome
thinks
he missed the point and her stomach growls.
hears her stomach. "what would you like?".
shrugs. "I don't feel like eating."
snickers. "didn't sound like it". he releases her.
blushes.
smirks. "sure you don't want anything?".
may be hungry, but she feels too guilty to eat.
isnt going to force anything.
Chrome
says
I don't want to.
understands. he sees the bite marks on her neck. "hows your neck feeling?".
rubs it. "Sore."
Leans down a bit to see the bite. "want some ice for it?".
has a small bruise forming. "It'll be okay."
Notices. "let's at least disinfect it".
nods, giving him permission
Leans down to her neck, placing his lips right where the bite was to heal it.
freezes for a minute.
's eyes turned red while healing her. he pulls back slightly to make sure the marks were gone.
's hand reactively goes to her neck.
smiles, seeing that her neck was clear before she covered it with her hand. "Any better now?". it should take the soreness away too.
nods. "Thank you."
hums in response, "Your welcome Chrome".
Chrome
is
glad it won't scar like a few of the other bites she's had, even though they were only for a few seconds.
isn't like those other vampires. he can see she's had a few scars on her now that he was sane.
catches him looking at the scars on her neck and blushes.
scans each scar. "looks like last night wasn't the first time you've been bitten". he says in a soft tone.
sighs. "No it wasn't. Rogue and newborn vampires smell the smallest drop of human blood and they bite the closest human."
knows that all too well. "and you happen to be that human". he says as his hand gently brushes on her skin where the scars laid.
nods. "I'm not the most careful when it comes to slaying."
gulps being so close to her neck, he pulls himself away. "... it all comes in practice". he wishes he could practice self restrain.
notices his reaction. "Is everything okay?"
nods and smiles. "perfectly". he's a spoiled vampire that's used to getting more than one round.
asks Are you sure?
clears his throat, it feels dry. "yes.. i'm sure".
Chrome
asks
Do you need to feed again?
sighs, guess he can't hide it. "that noticeable?".
nods. She's no dummy.
rubs the back of his neck. he doesn't want to feed from her again just when she'd feeling better.
isn't too fond of having to have her blood drank again, but if he needs it...
can just drink a blood pack. it'll hold him off for a bit.
lays back on the bed again.
grabs a blood pack from the fridge. he rips the plastic and drinks it from the tube.
Chrome
feels
her phone vibrate in her jacket pocket. Looking to see who it is, she hits the 'Ignore' button. The High Council can wait.
walks in while still drinking when she had her phone out. "your boss?". he asks nonchalantly as he leans against the door frame.
groans. "Worse. Leader of the High Council."
stops drinking for a second. "hm. that's not good".
shakes her head. "No. They can trace the call, but if I don't respond they'll think the worst."
bites the tube. "if that's the case, then just answer it".
looks at him. "They'll trace the call."
shrugs. "or you can leave, they'll want to see you right?". he resumes drinking the blood.
sighs. "I'll call them later." She's still tired.
chuckles at her reactions. "well you're free to stay as long as you like". he goes and lays down on the bed.
looks at him. "Why did they start the fire?"
hums, looking at the ceiling. "they probably thought the place meant something to you."
's eyebrows knit together. "It doesn't make sense though."
looks at her. "it's the same as taking a person as hostage, but instead they used a building. they probably stalked you for days before making a move". he folds his free hand behind his head as he drinks.
shakes her head. "It would have been a threat then..."
finishes the pack. "it more seems like a plan to just get you vulnerable enough.". the more he thinks about it, the more it seems that way.
Chrome
thinks
for a moment. "Vulnerable...."
nods. "that's what most delinquent vampires do to their targets first". he places the now empty pack on the night table.
places her hands over her eyes and groans.
turns to her. "vent if you want, i'll listen".
mutters, "I just don't want you to get hurt."
blinks. "You don't have to worry about me, i'm a vampire". a little smile plays across his lips.
knows that, but fire kills vampire.
can handle a little fire. he doesn't want her to worry about him when she already has enough to worry about.
sighs and closes her eyes for a minute.
's hand reaches out to pat her head in an attempt to comfort her.
sighs. "How many did it? Just the five??"
Kikyo
is
hesitant to answer. "No. it wasn't just them".
had a feeling about that. She opens her eyes. "Do you know where they are?"
shakes his head. "No, the five didn't tell me but it won't be hard to find them either.".
nods. "They'll show up sooner or later."
hums. "Well, it's safe to say they're somewhere in the city. it's just a matter of time".
Chrome
asks
So someone got on you about having me here?
Nods. "they probably saw me bring you here".
Chrome
asks
What did they say?
Kikyo
says
That doing Me letting you stay might attract unwanted attention from both the Slayers and opposing clans.
rolls onto her side. "Not if they don't find out."
chuckles. "That's true, i doubt any of them will say anything".
smiles. "They wouldn't mess with a slayer."
Looks at to see her expression, making him smile as well. "good to see you smiling again".
blushes.
Smirks, he turns his body to the side. "at any rate, things should cool down".
Chrome
says
I hope so....
Hears his own phone ring. "it will... so try not to worry too much He says while grabbing it from the night table to see who it is.
hears her phone buzz again and groans
sighs seeing it's his Clan leader, letting the phone ring out. "cooling down at a slower pace it seems.".
looks at her phone and sees it's the high council again....
's phone vibrates telling him he received a text message, he reads it before closing the phone.
ignores her phone again.
asks high council again?
nods.
sits up. "can't ignore them forever".
sighs. "I don't want them to trace the call."
Kikyo
says
Then let's get out of here so you can answer the call.
rolls over, not wanting to get up.
hears his phone ring again and decides to answer it. he gets up from the bed, leaving the room with a 'hello' as he walks out.
picks up her phone and listens to the voicemails. That just want to make sure she's alive, so she sends a text message.
gets a call from the clan leader making sure he's fine since news of the delinquent vampires and the fire got out. he was surprised nothing was asked regarding Chrome. he goes back into the room when he's done.
Chrome
asks
Everything okay?
nods. "Just a check in, but apparently the clan leader wants to see me". he sighs as he sits on the bed.
knows that's big business in the vampire world. "Do you know why?"
shakes his head. "No, but it has something to do with the fire". Or the fact a has a slayer in his home.
Chrome
says
Just be careful.
turns to look at her. "Same goes for you". he smiles.
stretches her arms above her head. "I can handle myself."
snickers. "guess we'll be just fine then". he slips his phone in his pocket.
sits up and her stomach grumbles again.
hears and tries not to laugh.
can tell he's trying not to laugh. It's not her fault she's human!
doesn't think its a fault, he just finds it slightly funny.
covers her face with a pillow. "It's not funny..."
tugs at the pillow teasingly. "really? but I think it's very funny".
's voice is muffled slightly. "It's not."
pulls on the pillow more. "it's hilarious". he teases.
hangs on to that pillow. "Nu uh...."
tugs a bit harder. "So hilarious".
isn't letting go of that anytime soon. "No."
doesn't plan on letting go of the pillow either. "Yes"
gets pulled, along with the pillow, close to him. "Nope."
uses his free hand to gently prying her hand off the pillow as he pulls her. "completely funny".
blushes as he pulls her to him. "Not at all...."
smirks, he lessens the amount of tugging, leaning down slightly. "absolutely priceless".
lets go of the pillow and doesn't say anything back.
moves the pillow to the side. he looks at her, taking in how close they were.
turns a light pink at their closeness.
still was holding her hand, he leans his body down, pinning her softly on the bed.
looks up at him as he pins her to the bed.
meets her eyes, not saying a word. he tosses the pillow somewhere.
looks back into his eyes.
lowers his body,keeping eye contact while bringing his faces inches from each other. "Chrome", he says in a soft tone that escape through his lips, himself saying her name without a reason.
closes her eyes for a brief moment. She rests her forehead against his.
loosens the hold on her hand, but doesn't move his away. He closes his eyes, taking in the moment serenity.
folds her fingers down to entwine with his, also enjoying the moment.
lifts his head slightly, their foreheads' losing contact. He opens his eyes, looking directly at her.
watches him, wondering why he pulled away.
inches his lips closer to hers' at an almost hesitantly slow pace before softly pressing against hers'.
softly kisses him back, closing her eyes.
seeing her reaction, he continues to kiss her gently. Increasing the intensity with each sweet kiss.
kisses him back each time, enjoying his kisses.
while kissing her, places his free hand on her waist. fingers playing with the end of her shirt.
lets her free hand come to rest at the junction between his neck and shoulder.
places a leg between hers'. he parts his lips, teasingly slides his tongue across her lips.
slightly opens her mouth for him, granting him entrance.
gulps, feeling his lower half reacting. he slides his tongue inside her mouth, being a bit more rough as he explores. His hand on her waist slips under her shirt, rubbing her side gently.
shivers at his touch. Her free hand moves to entwine in his hair.
smirks under the kiss. His tongue turns the attention to Chrome's, rubbing it against hers' in a swirling motion. While his free hand traveled up her waist, stopping when he feels fabric.
moves her own tongue against his. Her breathing hitches slightly when she feels his hand moving up her side.
Traces the lining of her bra with his fingers. He tilts his head slighty to the side, allowing for the kiss to deepen.
sighs as he deepens the kiss, kissing him back fervently.
continues to kiss her passionately, getting a bit rough with his actions. his hand follows the lining, snaking his hand under her stopping at the hooks. Swiftly, he unhooks her bra with one hand.
's breathing hitches when she feels her bra come undone.
leaves her bra untouched. He pulls away, breaking the kiss. planting kisses on her jaw line down to her neck.
tenses for a moment as he moves to her neck. Habitual response.
reaches her neck, kissing the skin roughly. he lets out a small groan, feeling his lower half calling to get out. his hand makes its way downward on her body.
really hopes he keeps his control and doesn't bite her. "Kikyo..." She sighs his name.
really is trying to stay in control. trying. he brings his lips to her ear, "Don't worry, i won't bite hard". he whispers, softly bites her earlobe.
lets out a moan. "Is that a promise?"
smirks, he licks her ear. "Yes it's a promise". his hands stopping again at her waist to teasingly play with the rim of her jeans.
shivers at him licking her ear. "Shouldn't you get back with your clan leader?"
continues his actions. "That can wait". he doesn't want to see his clan leader anyways.
cranes her neck up to his his lips softly.
kisses her back gently. places his hand on her skin and starts to pull up her shirt gingerly as he glides up against her skin.
shivers from the contact as well as his cold skin. Her skin forms goosebumps where his hand touches her.
stops his hands from pulling the shirt up more just before it exposes the bra fabric. He slides his hands over the shirt, swiftly onto her shoulder. Slipping the hand under her jacket, sliding it off her.
props herself up on her elbows for a moment to make it easier for him to get off.
breaks their links hands for the moment. he slides off her jacket in one smooth motion so that she wasn't holding up herself for long.
lays back on the bed and takes her other hand snake around his neck.
places a hand over her chest, while the other now free hand roams her body freely. He slips his hand on her back, taking his time to feel and touch her petite frame as he makes his way down.
sighs into the kiss as his hand roams her body.
chuckles under the kiss, he pulls away briefly. "Tell me how you like it". he asks her playfully as he takes notice of her reaction to his touches.
sighs. "It's nice."
smirks. "Lovely". he says as he sinks down, moving himself to her exposed stomach. he plants soft kisses on her fair skin.
giggles lightly as his kisses tickle her stomach.
does one of his soft kisses a little rough, he sucks gently on her skin. resulting in leaving a slightly reddish mark.
lets out a soft sound at that. At least he marked her in a place that's easily covered up....
wouldn't mind leaving them somewhere noticeable but holds back keeping in mind their current situation. He makes his way upward on her torso, rotating between kissing and leaving on or two marks on the way. a -
hand travels to her thigh, sliding up and down the length.
softly moans his name.
gulps hearing her moan, knowing he won't be able to hold off much longer. he reaches up to where her shirt covered her chest. he pauses his movements, sitting up, he takes off his jacket. throwing it somewhere.
((private now? lolll)).
[[yeah!]]
