The Vampire Resurrected

Ah… the smell of blood… I haven't drank it in years…All I had to live on were the blood tablets Fuji gave me and the love for tennis…I yearn for the blood of humans…

"Kikumaru-kun, please start reading page 66."

Fuji was observing Eiji twitch and clench his fists as he stood up and began reading… It seemed like Eiji could control it no longer. The thirst of blood he had controlled since he was bitten by a vampire 3 years ago.

During Fuji's first year, he never took notice of Eiji because they were complete opposites. Eiji, always having the most joyous face on, the one who makes jokes and the one with the most honest feelings but Fuji was the one with a smile forced on his face, the one who enjoys people suffer and the only who could open up to no one. It had always been like that until the day when the most beautiful vampire came to Seishun Gakuen, saw Kikumaru and became so indulged in watching him therefore luring Eiji to isolation just so she could suck his blood; engulf him in an everlasting curse and make a bond between them. Fuji witnessed her sucking Eiji's blood under the cherry blossom tree with petals flying onto the ground and then soaking up in blood.

'Eiji, hang in there a little longer.'

Ring... Ring... Ring…

Everyone stood up and started to pack their bags as the end of school bell rang. Eiji was still standing until everyone left the classroom except Fuji and himself. Collapsing onto his chair next to Fuji's, he stared and paused at him with bloodshot slit-like eyes and fangs protruding from his mouth.

"Help me Fuji…"

Quickly, Fuji retrieved the white tablets from his bag dissolved in water and forced Eiji to drink it. Drinking the bloody water in one gulp, Eiji's slit-like eyes gradually turned back to his normal brown ones and the vampire fangs slowly disappeared from view.

"I'm so sorry, Fuji, for you to be able to put up with me for 3 years"

"As long as I can keep you under control, it'll be fine"

"Except you don't have to do it any longer, my thirst for blood will soon become out of control and I'll become a real vampire"

"Saa… Let's not linger on this matter anymore… Tezuka will punish us if we're late for practice…"

"I forgot nya… come on!! Let's go… I don't wanna run laps!! NYAA!!"

Hmm…I wonder whether Oishi knows about Eiji and the vampire 3 years ago… I should tell him about it and warn Oishi to keep a close eye on him when I'm not there.

Fuji knew this day would come. But he never would've thought it would be today. He knew something was wrong as soon as Eiji came to school in a pale sick face. The happy cheerful Eiji seemed to be replaced by a sick miserable-looking one. There were no hugs given or any smile of cheerfulness, only the blank, empty and trance-like stare. The fact that when a girl fell over and grazed her knee, Eiji looked at the blood and licked his lips confirmed his suspicions.

"AAHH!!" An Eiji and Fuji were running aimlessly towards the tennis courts so they weren't going to be late for tennis practice. The all the other regulars were already there and were standing in a row in front of Ryuuzaki-sensei, Tezuka-buchou and Oishi-fukubuchou.

"I need you to work harder as we aim for the Nationals. Our next match is next week on Thursday though its not an official match; everyone will need to have harsher training sessions which Inui has prepared for us... Oh, Eiji and Fuji, 50 laps around the court for being late."

With this the normal routine was in place; all the 1st years picking up balls, 2nd years playing on the B court, regulars using the new training menu and Eiji and Fuji running aimlessly around the court.

"Please keep this a secret. I don't want anyone else to know a vampire bit me; you already know what will happen."

"Don't worry, you can count on me… also, I found these in the medical cupboard."

"EHH!!... Blood tablets… what for?"

"I'm not sure whether you know, but I read once in a book that when vampires don't drink blood, they will reach into a state of mentality and forever lose control in sight of blood so if you eat blood tablets, it acts as a substitute for real blood."

"Thanks Fuji… I don't want to drink blood yet… so I'm going to promise you I will keep control as long as I can."

"But to warn you, the blood tablets only act as a substitute, so one day, you will have to drink human blood. It's only a matter of time."

Fuji sighed as he watched Eiji, now back to normal, hitting the ball acrobatically as if nothing happened. On the opposing side was Oishi, always running for the wildly hit balls until finally exhausted sat on the ground. Eiji was now telling Oishi to stand up and instructing him to serve. Just as Eiji returned the serve, Oishi ran for the ball, tripped over from exhaustion and scraped his knee and elbow resulting in small drops of blood. As Kikumaru's eyes caught sight of the bloody elbow, his pupils turned red and the fangs that disappeared started to reappear again.

"Blood…"

Stricken with fear, Oishi now saw his double's partner advancing towards him but just as he was about to back away and run, he heard Eiji's voice whisper…

"Stop it… Stop losing control"

The last thing Eiji saw was Fuji calling out to him and all the other regulars staring at them before his mind was consumed by darkness…

v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v v--v

He could see himself… 3 years ago on that cursed day…

The little boy screaming in pain as the vampire slowly sucked his blood. The sharp fangs were forced in deeper as more blood erupted from the skinny neck. "Stop!" the boy cried but no she wouldn't… not until he tasted the curse… The pink petals scattered on the ground morphed into red… he was losing his blood fast… On the brink of death, the lady vampire stood up murmured something in the pale boy's ear then vanished into thin air. "Tosaka Sakura" and passing out in an endless dream.

"Eiji… lack of sleep… needs to rest."

"Do know… Oishi? Understand?"

The blurred images soon came into view and became more focused. Eiji saw Oishi and Fuji sitting on wooden chairs and seeming to have a worried look on their faces. His head was throbbing and he really wanted to drink something badly.

"I assume you're thirsty" Fuji seemed to know everything about him… Eiji reluctantly nodded.

Going to his bag, he took out the box of tablets, mixed it with water and watched it turn red before handing the bottle to Eiji. Eiji drank it devouring the "blood" water carefully and gave the bottle back to Fuji before noticing Oishi looking in disbelief.

"Fuji, did he just see all that…"

"Don't worry; I explained it to him after you became unconscious from the thirst of blood"

"You… WHAT!! NYA!! Why did you do that?!"

"Eiji, why didn't you tell me… you know I am one of your most trusted friends… why didn't you tell me you were bitten by a vampire…?"

Silence lingered for a minute…

The shadow standing behind the door slowly crept away with the intention of telling the others about this… abnormal conversation.
