No Choice

In Ferids car they had four people. Mika sat in the front by Ferid and in the back was Yuu and Narumi. As the two humans shifted uncomfortably no one said a word. The ride was silent other than Ferids random bits of laughter.

**

In the other car was Crowley and Yoichi in the front. Crowley was obviously driving. Shinoa, Mitsuba, amd Kimizuki sat uncomfortably in the back. Kimizuki and Mitsuba were by the doors with Shinoa in the middle (she was the smallest so she fit best.)

As tired as they were they refused to fall asleep while in a car with a vampire who wasn't Mika or Yoichi. They had been driving for a long time and Shinoa couldn't see where they were since she was stuck between Mitsuba and Kimizuki.

"Hey Mitsu? You okay?" Mitsuba glared at her. Like hell she was okay! They were in a car with a vampire! And not a friendly one like Mika and Yoichi but a vampire progenitor who they were supposed to kill! 

Mitsuba wanted to yell that at her but now wasn't the time and she didn't feel like argruing with Shinoa about how they were doing it for their family. Family. Thats what they're here for. The only reason they all left together. Because they saw eachother as family and agreed what the JIDA was doing was wrong.

"Peachy...." She said. She wanted to add more but that was all.

Shinoa nodded and turned to Kimizuki who was staring at the back of Yoichis seat like he was trying to see through it. She sighed. She knew this was a stupid idea. All of them going with two extremely powerful vampires to an unknown location. But she didn't want to let Yoichi go alone. He was family now. Yeah, Family sticks together right? Honestly Shinoa wasn't sure how to be their family. Her family was never like this to her. Trusting her and having little play fights that only kept going for fun. Her real, blood related family would never have done any of that. Maybe Shinya would but when they would 'play fight' it was never really fighting at all because they both like to be the one who tells the jokes and messes with the other. Even know she can say Shinya is her favorite of all her relatives, and he's not even her blood. 

It had been about a hour before Mitsuba nudged her and pointed to a sign on the side of the road they were now one. It read, " Welcome to Setagaya"

"We're... Going to Setagaya??" Shinoa asked out loud.

"I'm just following Ferid. I have no idea where he's going..." Crowley sighed again. 

"He didn't tell you?" Kimizuki asked still staring through Yoichis seat.

"He doesn't tell me much. We don't necessarily trust each other." Crowley shrugged, "Honestly I have no idea what he plans to do."

Yoichi turned back to face his team. He wasn't expecting Kimizuki to be staring at him. Kimizuki quickly looked toward the window and Yoichi was a little upset he wouldn't face him right now.

**

They were right. They were in Setagaya. The car Crowley drove ran out of gas a few builings before their destination and they had to run after Ferids (who was most definantly speeding.) 

"Where are we?" Mitsuba asked while panting lightly from the run. 

They stood before a large white building which had several rectangles connected to it. Anyone could tell it was some sort of hospital. 

Three old cars sat in front of the building, one was in a employees spot though they doubted the worker was still alive. 

"This it the Matsuzawa psychiatric hopstial, right?" Yoichi asked. 

"You know this place Yoichi?" Yuu asked in response to his question. 

"Yeah, I had seen it a few times before, before the apocalypse that is." Yoichi was scanning the outside of the building. "But why are we here?"

"Well I never said you'd be staying at my mansion. I'll be near here for a while so you can stay here in Setagaya." Ferid grinned and gestured to the building with both hands. "Come on, go inside."

Reluctantly they each made their way inside to a huge room where they assumed patients used to check in. They wondered up and down hallways and stairs but stayed together.

"Shiho?" Yoichi approached him as he tested a locked door. He hummed to himself and pushed a little harder on the door.

"Kimizuki? Look at me." Yoichi whined.

"What is it?" Kimizuki asked turning on his heels. 

"I- Sorry... I know you're mad at me." Yoichi made eye contact for only a second before forceing himself to look away.

"I'm not mad..."

"Wha? Really?" 

"Yeah... But don't do that again. You thought we would let you go for our own protection? Have more faith in your family than that. I wish I didn't have to keep telling you this."

"Right, Sorry." Yoichi was smiling up at Kimizuki and the taller male couldn't help but look away to hide his reddening face. 

"You should still apologize to the others. And stop doubting them. I'm sure if Shinoa hadn't said anything someone else would have. At least I would have." Kimizuki was still blushing but it was faded pink and he had a serious look on his face. 

Yoichi nodded and Kimizuki planted a kiss on top of his head before he could look back up. "Eh! What was that for?!" Yoichi squeaked placing his hands where Kimizuki kissed him. 

"Just to make you blush." Kimizuki winked at Yoichi and a flustered Yoichi walked away. He only moved a few feet to get to where Yuu and Mika where standing. They seemed to be having a serious conversation.

"Mika-kun, Yuu-kun? Um... I'm sorry for interrupting. I just wanted to apologize. For earlier. You wouldn't be here if I wasn't being so stupid."

"I agree, you were being stupid." Mika stated looking dead into Yoichis eyes.

"Mika!" Yuu yelled.

"Let me finish Yuu-Chan." The blonde held a hand to Yuu and continued. "Don't worry to much. Its not only your fault and I understand wanting to protect your family but you must be careful when it comes to Ferid."

"Mika-kun... Thank you but it really is my fault. I'm sorry." Yoichi looked over to Yuu who was, for the first time simce his return, avoiding eye contact with him.

Mika sighed and nodded and Yuu stared into space beside him.

Yoichi decided that meant okay and finally went to see the girls and Narumi. Again they weren't far. No one wanted to be to far away from the group. Mitsuba was sitting against the wall listening to Narumi and Shinoa. Every once in a while she nodded or shook her head but she didn't respond to them verbally.

"Look Shinoa I know we had to come for Yoichi but be more careful and actually think first if something like this is to happen again." Narumi was saying.

"Yeah, Fine. But I was thinking. I knew exactly what I was doing Narumi." Shinoa stepped back and grumbled some offenses to Narumi before slidding down the wall next to Mitsuba.

"Hey, Um, sorry." Yoichi said still walking forward a bit. 

"What for?" Shinoa asked confused. Mitsuba and Narumi were also confused by the sudden apology.

"Uh, you know. You wouldn't be here if not for me... So I'm sorry." Yoichi said.

"There you are!" Ferid approached them in the wide hallway. "So do you like it? Comfortable enough for all of you?" 

"Ferid." Mika growled and Yuu placed a hand on his shoulder. Mitsuba and Shinoa stood up right away and Narumi watched carefully as Ferid approached.

"Yoichi, Mika, why don't you help yourselves to the children a few buildings over? No one would mind." Yuu grip on Mikas shoulder tightened and Yoichi flinched when Narumi grabbed his arm for reassurance. The thought of blood made the two vampires, who only received blood every three days, throats feel dry and they each were tempted to accept.

"Is that a no? Well anytime you want I'm sure they're not going anywhere." He shrugged.

Crowley walked up behind him. "Are we going soon?" He asked.

"Yes Yes, I was only being sure they were comfortable staying here." Ferid waved his hand over his shoulder and turned to Crowley who was now beside him. They began walking away as a "ByeBye For Now." was heard from Ferid.

**

No one moved until they were gone. When they did begin moving Yoichi scooted over to Kimizuki while everyone sighed breaths of releif. Yoichi wouldn't wait for Narumi and the girls to accept his apology.

Kimizuki looked right into his eyes and Yoichi again couldn't look away. He wanted to though, he needed to in order to ask him. It took all the effort he had but he looked down at Kimizukis feet and took deep breaths.

"Yoichi? What is it?" Kimizuki tried to pull Yoichis face up by his chin lighty but Yoichi shook him off.

Yoichi, after a lot of hesitation, grabbed Kimizuki by the arm and lead him into one of the rooms nearby. "Hm? What are you doing Yoichi?"

"Sit down..." Yoichi demanded, pointing to the bed, and Kimizuki followed the order out of confusion. Yoichi sat down next to him then got on his knees on the bed and faced him. He still didn't dare to make eye contact. He just continued to stare at Kikizukis chin, then his neck. 

"What is it? Whats wrong?" Kimizuki was sincerely confused but a few moments of watching Yoichi twitch and shuffle while glancing at his neck and to the side, he got it. "Oh..."

"Um, can I... You know...uh..." Yoichi couldn't even get out the words.

Kimizuki wasn't wearing the best shirt for the moment. He was wearing a shirt that got up to close to the neck. Usually he wore more comfortable, loose shirts but he was hiding Yoichis earlier bite marks. He did it so Yoichi wouldn't feel bad but now it just made things awkward.

After an extremely awkward attempt to pull it to the side he sighed. "Uh, thats not gonna work...." He carefully removed his shirt over his head and held it around his arms. 

"Oh my god..." Yoichis voice was quiet and muffled in his hands. He was blushing about as much as a vampire, a creature with minimal blood flow, could right about now.

"So, um, g-go on..." Kimizuki closed his eyes tight bracing himself for the sharp pain of fangs sinking through his skin. He peeked an eye open when the feeling didn't come. 

"I'm sorry..." The brunette whispered into his hands barely loud enough for Kimizuki to hear. Kimizuki shuffled over so he was now against the wall. He figured he'd be more comfortable if he wasn't tensely sitting up without back support.

"C'mon Yoichi... It's Okay. I promise I don't mind." Yoichi took deep heavy breaths and got closer and closer to Kimizuki.

Yoichi hovered over the spot where he planned to bite down but seemed to be reconsidering. 

The brunette allowed his lips to linger over Kimizukis steadily increasing pulse for what felt like forever to the strawberry-haired boy. Once he actually bit down Kimizuki was thankful to have moved against the wall. He felt like he was gonna melt. For a short moment that lasted forever, the only noise was Yoichi gulping down the thick red blood and Kimizukis light breathing. The area of impalement was tingling and starting to go numb as Yoichi continued glupping down the blood. 

As soon as Yoichi found himself pulling away a loud SMACK was heard across the room. The door had burst open and smacked the wall. 

And of course, Mitsuba stood there. She looked extremely angry and was about to begin yelling when she took in the scene.

Kimizuki, leaning against a wall to steady himself on the bed while Yoichi leaned upon his bare chest. Yoichi, with blood dripping down his chin in the dark room, with Kimizuki who had obvious puncture wounds on the side of his neck. 

"I should... Uh... Not see this. I'll tell the others you're, um, 'Busy.'" Mitsuba closed the door as quickly as she had opened it and backed away from the door. 

Yoichi and Kimizuki sat there, blinking at the door where Mitsuba had emerged and disappeared, and wishing they had told the others before leaving. Then the team wouldn't have looked for them.

Yoichi slowly turned back to Kimizuki who was already staring back at him. Yoichi quickly noticed the blood still flowing out of the others twin wounds and immediately went to clean it all up. A set of chills went up Kimizukis spine as Yoichis tounge glided over the bite marks he had just made and any access blood that escaped down his neck and shoulder.

Yoichi smiled with blood-stained lips and the crimson liquid dripped down his chin. Kimizuki was tempted to wipe it away like last time but he let Yoichi take care of it.

Yoichi wiped his mouth with the back of his hand but that only smudged the red around his chin. Kimizuki couldn't help but laugh and help him. He licked his thumb and rubbed the blood from his chin before wipeing it onto the old sheets of the bed.

"Th-thanks..." Yoichi said but Kimizuki wasn't sure if he was thanking him for the blood or cleaning his mouth.

Yoichi got up and mumbled another apology. Kimizuki wished he would stop with the apologies already. He was getting sick of Yoichi thinking he had to apologise for everything he did.
