Dream 002 - There is no refuge for the deprieved in dreams

Warning: Lots of imagery of blood...probably not suitable for kids
Effects: (optional) A strong sense of hunger, agonizing pain, feeling of being restrained, smell of blood and maybe a metallic taste

There's nothing but darkness, so dark that nothing could be made out. And since sight could not be used, the other senses were heightened.

Drip,drip, drip

A fluid plummeting to the ground in small, constant amounts.The sound of that echoes,bouncing off the walls and resonating within the space. The sound of the dripping grew louder, becoming more apparent.

But it wasn't only the sound, but the smell of it ,too. A coppery, rustic one that hung in the air and lingered. It was almost teasing, how the metallic smell took up the space. And to add to the insult, the smell was strong enough for it to be tasted. Mingling with memory of the tongue.

The urge to go after the source of the sound and aroma followed soon after, but any movement to go towards it was negated by this pressure placed on the body. Hindering it from moving anywhere. Making the whole predicament worse, being stuck in the middle of the assault of senses. Hearing, sight, and sound all doing it's part to torture.

----

The dream is cut short when the dreamberry is thrown off the edge of what appears to be a bed. It hit the floor with a clatter, but fell onto it's back so it continued to record. A dark figure emerges from the bed, clutching at his stomach and staggering as it got its footing. However, that seemed difficult, so the figure allowed himself to lean on a nearby wall for support. The figure picked up his head, realizing that the dreamberry is on. He stumbled over to it, shutting off the device.

Heh...I don't feel I need to explain anything to anyone. I don't care what they think of me, plus things are better this way.

[Kamui looks to Kio when he says the last thing.]

I can't promise that. I'm stubborn. I act that way towards everyone, even the people closest to me, so you shouldn't take it personally. I just don't like appearing weak, or having to ask for help. It's not something I can change just like that.

Asking for help isn't being weak, it's knowing your limitations and being strong enough to not get in your own way. Not to mention your friends and those close to you are part of your strength, besides I'd never think that Kamu-chan is weak. But as long as you'll try that's fine.

[Stretching and leaning forward from where he was sitting he looked up at the vampire.]

Being stubborn is a part of who you are, but that's why you need friends too so they can help even when you don't want to ask for it. [Besides even if Kamui didn't ask for it, Kio would worry about him anyways.]

...I'll try.

[Feeling as if the worse was over, Kamui decides to sit down.]

I have enough friends. And I won't be able to call them a friend if they couldn't figure that much out.

Good. [Turning to face Kamui Kio's smiling again, it was good that he had at least agreed to try. That meant that Kamui would at least consider letting someone in rather than having to face everything on his own. Not to mention it meant that Kio didn't have to worry as much about if he were taking care of himself.]

So. . . what can I do to help?

[Kamui looks to Kio, his face completely serious.]

I need your blood.

[That's what Kio was afraid of, but he couldn't just back out now. Besides he really wanted to help Kamui and the other had said it wouldn't hurt and nothing bad would happen to him. It really couldn't be any worse than the piercings or the tattoos could it.]

So do you have to bite my neck?

Biting is considered bad etiquette, purebreds don't bite often. And it doesn't have to be the neck, it could be the wrist...

[There were other places he could take blood from, but he already senses how nervous the other was so, he didn't suggest it.]

...But I said this before, you don't have to agree to this. You can walk away now and I won't hold it against you.

[Well if they didn't bite then how did they get the blood?]

I already said I would do what I could to help Kamu-chan, and I meant it. Besides you said nothing bad would happen and it wouldn't be any worse than giving blood so I have no reason not to help, right?

...What I said is true,but the choice is yours to make. No matter the facts.

[But if Kio still wanted to help him, then Kamui would believe him. He held his hand out to the other, eyes changing from blue to gold.]

...your wrist.

My wrist? [Kio pulled up the sleeve of the shirt he was wearing a little holding the wrist out towards Kamui a little. He was amazed at the change in the color of Kamui's eyes being drawn in a little by them.]

They're pretty.

[ The vampire reaches out for the wrist, coming closer to Kio in order to cradle the other's wrist within his hand. Kamui turns to Kio as he gave the compliment about his eyes. No one ever said anything like that about his eyes before.

Still Kamui shrugs it off though.] ...not really.

[If the artist was marveling his eyes, then the blonde was going to get a kick of the next thing Kamui would reveal. His fingernail extending into a single talon, he hovers the tip of it over the other's skin.]

...I'm going to cut you now, you can still back out of this if you want to.

[Kio simply watched, the eyes had been something that captivated him where as the talon seemed to just make everything all the more real. He shifted a little bit but didn't make any move away from Kamui or show any hesitation outwardly.]

I promised that I would help Kamu-chan, I'm not going to back out. [Once he had his mind made up Kio could be pretty stubborn, more so when he had made a promise.]

[Kamui continues on then, seeing that Kio was adamant to help him or keep true to his promise. The vampires pressed the tip of talon into the other's skin and swiped downward, tearing the skin just enough for the other to bleed.

Kamui doesn't waste anytime bringing his mouth to the open wound and licking at the blood that spilled from the other's lips.Careful not to let one drop be wasted.]

[Kio flenched a little out of instinct, though it didn't hurt any worse than any of the times he had burned himself heating paints or bumped against something. Instead he sat there and watched quietly, not really sure what he could or should say.]

[Kio didn't have to say anything. It would have fallen on deaf ears anyhow. Kamui was very much focused on feeding himself,licking up the blood. But after a few moments he pulled back, getting his fill.

He licks over the wound one last time to close it. The other's cut starts to heal almost instantly. He then looks over to Kio,eyes still amber.]

...Thanks.

Are you alright?

[Bending his wrist and looking at where the wound had been Kio was in disbelieve though part of the feeling was a feeling slightly disorented.]

Yeah, just a little light headed I think. [Smiling he sat back a little, he grabbed the bag that he had brought with him which had a pair of bento boxes that he had picked up.] I guess these won't be any help huh?

[At least the blond wasn't fainting on him. As for the bento. He holds his hand out for one. If the other went through the trouble to bring it, then he could at least eat it.]

...I was hungry in a metaphysical sense, but that doesn't mean I can't eat this.

But if you feel lightheaded, maybe you have both of them. [He then adds with a stern look] And don't even think of getting up. Just tell me, I'll get you whatever you need.

[Well there was really one other kind of hunger that people usuall tried to hide that Kio was familiar with, but Kamui didn't seem like the sexual type. Handing one of the bento over to Kamui, Kio smiled.]

I figured it wouldn't hurt though in case you were or if you got hungry while I was here since I didn't know if you had food or not. And two would be too much for one person.

But you'll get me anything~

Heh...I can at least feed myself with normal food.

[At least going to the grocery store would raise less eyebrows than going to the local blood back.]

[As for it Kio's last statement.] ...Yes. That's what I said.

[Kio leaned a little close to Kamui, resting his chin in his hands as he looked at the vampire.]

Than how about . . . something to drink. I kind of forgot to grad water or a soda to go with the boxes. But is Kamu-chan really feeling better now, you looked like you were pretty bad earlier?

[Kamui watches Kio suspicious as he drew closer, but once the other gave his request. He nods.]

I have a few beverages here. Water, tea, coffee and juice. I can get you anyone of those.

[Kamui stands up and shrugs.] I'm fine. Recovery is quick for me.

[Nope, nothing at all. Thinking over the choices for a moment Kio was debating between the juice or tea. He had kind of hoped for a soda but didn't want Kamui to leave and he had been forbidden from getting up; not to mention he would have fell over if he had.]

Juice~ [It was a little sweeter than tea usually and would go good with the box lunch.]

Recovery is quick? That would be really great to have after getting a tattoo. [Though how fast would the holes close for a piercing if you healed faster. Hmmm.]

Okay.[nods as he starts towards the kitchen but stops.]

It's not all it's cracked up to be. Your body might heal faster, but it needs extra energy in order to do so. Which is why your food won't go to waste, I need regular food as much as blood to survive.

[Sits back on the couch turning around to face Kamui.] Then how often to you need blood if you can eat normal food?

Not often. Especially here. This world has lessen my need for blood, that's why I was able to be satisfied with blood tablets.

[With that he disappears into the kitchen and returns in a few moments with Kio's juice and iced coffee for himself. He hands the other his glass.]
