Last Chapter:

�You and Sora are still in danger...I don�t think you understand that, Roxas!� Namine said, her voice soft as she looked at the vampire, "Sora's a human...he's helpless. He can't stand up to a vampire and if Axel wants him dead and you're not there to protect him...then..." Her voice drifted off.
"I know this, Namine.� Roxas said with a heavy sigh, �I�m going back to Sora and staying there with him.�
�Axel�s out to hurt you. Remember that, Roxas. He�ll do anything to get to you. And, I don�t just mean physical pain...�
�I get that and I�m leaving right now!� Roxas said, turning on his heel before giving the girl one last look, �You coming?� He asked Marluxia as he strode past.
�Right behind you.� The elder brunet answered, following.
Namine heaved a sigh, watching the two leave her room, �Be safe...� She said, turning her gaze back to the window, �And, protect Sora."

Chapter Ten: The Dying Flame

It didn't take long for the two vampires to return to Sora's dorm. Upon reaching the dorm block, the males split up. Roxas heading for his brown haired lover�s window, hoping upon hope that it was still locked, as Marluxia rounded the building to the front door. The blond haired vampire stood on the thick branch of the tree closet to Sora�s window, peering into the darkened room...
...and, he didn�t like what he saw.
Trying the quell the blossoming fear in his chest, he pushed open the window. A fearful frown appearing on his face as the window swung open as through the lock had been broken.
Through the darkness of the room, he could see pages torn from books scattered across the floor, their bare covers stained with something Roxas didn�t even want to think about laying in a heap on the small dining table. The chairs from the very same table thrown across the small sitting room, one actually broken in pieces in the kitchen.
But...perhaps the most disheartening things about what Roxas had found in the room were the ominous smears of blood on the walls and floors leading down the hall right into Sora�s bedroom.
Roxas stood at the end of the hall, staring down the darkened corridor only lightened by the thin strip of light that filtered from his lover�s room.
�Roxas?� Marluxia said softly, his eyes looking around the room as he walked to the blond vampire who had jumped at the sound of his voice.
�S-sora...� The blond said, not even acknowledging Marluxia as he started down the hall way, his face paling as he stepped closer and closer to the opened door, afraid to see what laid beyond that door.
His blue eyes followed the trail of blood to the bed, where he was almost afraid to look up and when he did, he had to choke back a sob.
The trail of blood had led him to what he feared the most...
Sora was laying in his bed...seemingly not breathing, but Roxas could pick up the faint sounds of struggling breaths with his heightened senses and the metallic scent of blood that seemed to be permeating through the dorm room. The smell alone was enough to cause bile to rise in the back of his throat as he rushed to the bed to his lover's aid.
His mouth fell open as Sora's dim eyes met his, "...Rox...as..." His voice so soft as blood gushed out of twin puncture wounds on his neck and immediately the blond knew who was responsible.
But, he couldn�t dwell on that bastard right now, �Sora!� He blurted out, pulling the brunet to him, �Damnit...� He cursed, his hand brushing damp bangs out of Sora�s eyes, �Sora...hold on, please just hold on!�
The brunet�s lips curved into a smile, �...I...l-love you.� He murmured, his breathing becoming shallow as Roxas held him.
In his panic as he watched the life leave his lover, Roxas made a decision. A rash decision, his fangs elongating in his mouth, he bit his tongue before pressing his lips to Sora�s. Thrusting his profusely bleeding appendage into the brunet�s mouth, his eyes squeezed shut as tears sprung from the corners.
He couldn�t let Sora die.
He...just couldn�t.

--- --- ---

Even though he didn't want to remember, memories of his own death and rebirth surfaced in Roxas' mind as he held the brunet to him. He was almost sure this was not what Sora wanted...but, he didn�t think Sora wanted to die either.
�You didn�t...?�
Roxas looked up, seeing Marluxia, leaning in the doorway. His arms crossed over his chest, �I had no choice.� He replied softly, holding the boy closer still.
�What if he resents you...?� Marluxia asked, looking at the couple.
Roxas frowned deeply, his eyes falling on the unconscious boy, �That�s a risk I�ll take for him.�
Marluxia sighed heavily, �Just don�t come crying to me when he hates you.� He said, pushing himself off the wall, turning to leave down the hallway.
Roxas ignored the brown haired elder�s statement. There was no way Sora could ever hate him...they were soul mates. Meant to be together, bound together by destiny. Sora...he wouldn�t hate him...right?
The brunet�s lithe body had long stopped rising and falling with struggling breaths. His human life was over and his new life as one of the undead just beginning as his heart kicked back to a start, pumping the blood throughout his veins.
The blood reawakening his body. Roxas knew it was painful, even if you weren�t awake for it. To go from sensing nothing...t-to sensing everything and then some. The rebirth...never took that long. The death of the human was always the longest and often hardest part to suffer through.
Then, as if he were merely sleeping, Sora awoke with a start. Held in Roxas� strong arms, the blond�s grip only tightening as widened blue eyes frantically darted around, �Where is he?!� The brunet said, his voice bordering on hysterics.
�S-sora...�
�Where�s Axel!� Sora cried, looking up at Roxas, �He was just here...� He explained, his voice cracking with emotion, �I don�t remember...w-what happened.� He pushed himself out of Roxas� arms.
His eyes widening as he took in the sight of his room, �W-why is there so much blood...?� He asked, looking back at his lover, �What happened, Roxas?�
The blond�s eyes drifted from Sora�s, for just a moment, before they locked with Sora�s oceanic eyes, �Axel�s gone...but, before he left...before I had gotten here...� His voice was soft as he fought against his emotions. Sora was alright. He was still here.
�Roxas?� The little brunet pleaded.
�He k-killed you.� Roxas said, a shaking hand running through his blond spikes, �You were taking your last breaths when I found you...� His voice drifted off, not wanting to continue. Not wanting to entertain the possibility of Sora hating him.
�Killed?� Sora asked, confused, �I was...d-dead. But, I�m alive now...aren�t I?�
Roxas shook his head, �I couldn�t let you die...it was selfish of me...but, I just couldn�t watch you die knowing there was a way I could save you.� He murmured, reaching for the brunet�s hand, �I love you, Sora. So much.�
�Y-you...I-I�m...wha-� Sora said, panting heavily as he tried to process what Roxas was telling him. His hand rose to his mouth, his fingers running over his teeth...which were no longer smooth and rounded. But, elongated and pointed. �I�m a vampire.�

--- --- ---

He would never be able to go back. He knew that. From the moment he sank his teeth into that human's neck. What he had done was considered a taboo in the world of vampires. You just don't feed from another vampire's human.
Axel had broken that taboo. No...no, he destroyed it. Broke it into a million little shiny pieces. And, he did so with no care or worry. Roxas was his fledging. His to teach. And, his to punish.
Except...
The punishment hadn't exactly gone according to plan.

Again!
He never expected Roxas to turn his human. He never believed that this concept of love had actually existed between the two. He never thought Roxas would go that far for his human.
No, vampire.
Love...would be the death of him.
This stupid human emotion would be his undoing. Axel could feel it as he stared into the brunet's dorm room window. As he struggled to hold back all the emotions running wild through his own veins. He couldn't believe that his plan had failed...again!
But...he'd have his revenge.
Even if he had to wait a hundred years.

--- --- ---
For once, the little blond psychic wasn't in her own room. She sat upon the recently cleaned and made bed in the room of a certain blond vampire. Cross legged against the soft newly washed sheets as she laid out her cards, sighing every once in awhile. She had been sensing something all day. What it was, she wasn't sure, but she knew whatever was going to walk through that door was going to bring about a change so great for the entire mansion including those who no long called it home.
Her powder blue eyes raised to the closed door just as the handle was jiggling and turning, watching quietly as it was pushed open to reveal the vampire to whom the room belonged to and a chocolate haired boy, "He hasn't returned..." She said softly to the blond haired vampire, "He ran away and hasn't come back...I don't think he will." Her eyes shifted, falling to the teen beside him, "Hello, Sora." She greeted softly with a nod of her head.
Sighing heavily, perhaps in relief, Roxas stepped into the room, pulling Sora along with him, "Good...we need to talk." He said, giving the brunet a sideways glance, "It's important."
"I kind of figured that." Naminé replied, gathering up her cards, "And, by the looks on your faces, I take it that it's not exactly a joyful visit, is it?"
Roxas shook his head, sparing his lover a look, "It's not." He answered, not letting Sora's hand go, if anything pulling the brunet closer to him.
"I assumed as much." Naminé said with a heavy sigh, sliding to the edge of the bed, "And, I'm guessing that Axel has something to do with it, am I right?"
"That...bastard..." Roxas growled out, his blue eyes narrowing dangerously, "...tried to kill Sora." He finished, his eyes drifting to the floor before continuing, "When I had found him...he was so far gone...I did the only thing I could think of to save him..."
"So, he's a vampire then...?" The girl asked, her eyes falling on the quiet brunet standing next to her friend, "That must have been what the Death card meant..." She muttered, mostly to herself, "The closing of a door for the opening of another and the start of a new era." She looked at the blond, "See? I told you, Roxas, the Death card doesn't always mean death."
"...Whatever." Roxas said with a sigh, "I need to know what we're suppose to do now...besides, finding Axel and kicking his ass. Sora's not used to this and he doesn't strike me as the type to just adjust to having to kill a living human to survive."
Naminé rose to her feet, giving the couple an apologetic smile, "That's...something you'll have to figure out in between the two of you." She said softly, "For now, Sora can survive on the blood we have stored away in the mansion, but eventually you'll have to take him out and teach him to feed."
"That's fine..." Roxas responded in turn, "Eventually I'll take him out and teach him...when he's more used to it." He was almost positive Sora wouldn't like it at all. Roxas had became numb to it over the years; at this point he did it to survive and saw it as something necessary.
The more Roxas and Naminé talked about his future, the more pale Sora got, luckily, Naminé noticed this and decided to halt the conversation for now, "As for right now...you two might as well get settled in..." She paused, her eyes looking around this room, "...this room won't do at all, though. Since, I'm assuming the two of you will be sharing..."
Roxas nodded his head in agreement; not really wanting to stay in this room with the memories it held...that and they really did need more space.
"Well, let me show you two to your new room." Naminé said, walking past the two vampires before beckoning them to follow her, "You can worry about cleaning out the room later, Roxas. I'm sure the both of you are tired with the long day you've had.
"That sounds like a plan." Roxas said with a grateful smile.
After a moment or two the trio came upon another room, "I'll just let the two of you settle yourselves in." Naminé said, giving the pair a smile, "And, it was a pleasure to meet you Sora...even if it wasn't under the best of circumstances."
Sora gave the girl a hesitant smile, "Likewise."

--- --- ---

Naminé left a few moments after bidding the boys a good night, leaving them alone in their new bedroom. And, Roxas wouldn't have it any other way. The room was bare, as was expected since no one had yet to stay in it. It was bare and empty, morbidly so, but it was so much better than his old room and the memories that it held.
"This room is huge!" Sora said in awe, looking around the empty room which was only furnished with a large four poster bed, two dressers, a couple chairs, and a table. The emptiness of the room made him miss his cozy dorm...then, he suddenly remember what happened in that cozy dorm room.
Roxas blinked, looking down at the hand that slipped into his own, frowning he looked at his lover, "Everything alright?" He asked softly, giving the hand in his a gentle squeeze.
Sora sighed softly, "No...not really..." He admitted, looking up at the blond vampire that had changed his life so drastically, "But, it will be."
Frowning deeply, Roxas pulled the brunet to him, wrapping his arms around the lithe body, "I'm sorry, you know, for everything." He whispered, burying his face into soft brown spikes, "I know...being a vampire was the last thing you wanted..." His voice was muffled as he continued, emotions welling in his chest, "I couldn't let you die, knowing there was a way I could save you."
The brunet sighed softly, resting his head against his lover�s chest, �I know...� He replied softly, �You told me.� He added, his voice just as soft as before as he pulled away slightly to look up at the blond, �I think...if I were in your position and it was you dying...I would have done the same thing.�
�I...I was just so afraid that you�d hate me for it...� Roxas admitted softly, cupping the brunet�s cheek, his thumb running across the smooth skin, �But, I couldn�t watch you die. I-I wouldn�t just stand by and watch you die.�
Sora laid a hand over the one on his cheek, �I could never hate you.� He replied, his voice barely above a whisper, �I love you. So much.� He continued on, his voice wavering with emotion as he spoke, �At least we have forever now.�
Roxas let out a breath he hadn�t realized he was holding before leaning down to the brunet, capturing his plump lips in an almost desperate kiss. One that was filled with every emotion he had experienced that day as he realized how close he came to losing his lover...again.
The feelings in his chest had grown and multiplied since the moment he had laid eyes on the little brunet that he later realized was his other half. His soul mate. As unbelievable as it sounded. They were meant to be together. It was as simple as that, even though the circumstances were a bit more difficult.
Roxas knew a long hard road lay ahead of them, but it was something he willingly took on for his little brunet. And, now, they'd be together forever thanks to Axel and his bitterness.
The kiss was broken moments later, both boys panting heavily as they clung to each other. Sora looked at his lover and Sire, "Are you alright?" He asked softly, his hand touching along the vampire's cool skin.
With Sora's own cool body pressed against his own, Roxas shook his head, "No..." He answered, "But, I will be." He repeated Sora's earlier line, giving the brunet a smile before pressing their lips together.
Time would heal all wounds. And, time was all they had anymore. Time and each other.
