The dark night faded to daylight, then night came to Ohtori Academy once again. In her silent room in the abandoned dorm Utena smiled to herself dreamily, the sensation of warmth all around her naked body. She snuggled down on the battered mattress, luxuriating in the feeling, until something began to bother her. 'Wait a moment,' Utena found herself thinking as she gradually came awake, 'my body doesn't hold warmth like this anymore. What's keeping me warm?' She opened her blue eyes just a crack to look out, then Utena's eyes suddenly popped open in surprise. She was buried in the middle of a pile of naked young women! "Hmm, mistress," one sighed softly, shifting in her sleep beside Utena, her perky breasts rubbing up against Utena's cold skin. Utena felt the warmth of the flesh pressed up against her, and she could feel her fangs extending, hunger rising even against her will. 'I have got to get out of here before I do something I'll regret,' she thought to herself frantically. Thankfully, the moving girls generated enough room for Utena to slip out between them. She grabbed a uniform from her closet then slipped out of the room as quietly as possible. "I can't believe they followed me," Utena sighed softly. She had even recognized one or two of them, like Nanami's friend Keiko. "You might want to get dressed," an amused voice commented. Utena was so distracted by her unexpected guests that she hadn't even noticed that Anthy was waiting for her out in the hall. "How did they find me?" she questioned her, even as she quickly pulled her clothes on. "The blood bond," Anthy sighed. "It links you to them as well, Utena," she explained, "and it's unbreakable except by your death." "We'll save staking myself as a final alternative," Utena shot back, something in her tone showing she wasn't entirely joking as she pulled her shirt, then the jacket. "Are you sure there's no other way to free them?" she questioned. "I'll look into it," Anthy said. She noticed the hint of fang as Utena talked, and felt obligated to ask her, "Are they all right?" "I haven't fed yet, if that's what you mean," Utena said with a bit of anger in her voice, offended that Anthy might believe she had drank from the girls. 'Though I did that once before,' she thought a bit guiltily. "I'm sorry," Anthy's voice had a hint of apology in it. "It's all right," Utena conceded, feeling the need rising within her. She looked at Anthy, almost able to hear the blood pumping through the girl's veins then shook herself, surprised at how much she wanted to walk right over and take the dusky skinned girl. "I'm going out to hunt," she said, striding towards the window. "Wait, you may not be able to... ," Anthy started to say, but Utena had disappeared into the night. "Damn," she cursed softly. Utena loped across the campus towards the forest, towards food. The scents she had learned over may weeks drew her onward, and nearly silently Utena stalked through the dark woods, letting her unnatural senses guide the way. 'Here,' she thought, as the rich scent filled the nostrils. She gently parted the branches, and nearly gasped in surprise. Kozue Kaori lay tangled up with a paramour in the forest clearing, the sweat drying on their slick bodies. A bit of his blood has spilt on the ground, raking tears across his bare back from her nails and that very same scent filled Utena's nostrils. Kozue looked up drowsily at Utena then her eyes widened, seeing Utena standing there in the shadows. Gently easing the young boy aside she softly whispered, "What's wrong?" Meeting that hungry gaze Utena found herself moving forward involuntarily, and stopped herself. "Nothing," she turned away, disappearing into the shadows. Kozue lay there, thoughts racing as a fire pulsed within her slim body. 'Somehow I doubt that,' she though, grabbing at her clothes and roughly waking up her partner, thoughts racing. Striding away into the darkness, Utena was deeply confused. 'I was hunting animals, not...' Utena thought to herself dazedly, 'Why did I...' she shook herself. With fresh determination she stalked the woods, eventually finding what she really sought: a deer. The kill was done as mercifully as possible, then Utena bent to feed, burying the fangs into it's flesh. Only to suddenly choke on the first spurts of blood. She spat loudly, trying to clear the stuff from her mouth as quickly as possible. With a shaking hand she cupped some of the animal blood to drink again, and discovered the same foul taste. "I can't drink it," Utena murmured, then in a tortured cry into the darkness, "What's going on?!" Back at the dorm, things were getting interesting. "Where is the mistress?" the young woman demanded of Anthy, "I can feel she's in pain!" The other young ladies, all milled around restlessly, looking for their mistress, Utena. "I don't know," Anthy started to say, when Utena herself walked down the hallway towards the room. She looked terrible, her uniform dirty, animal blood smeared down the front. But it was the despairing look in Utena's eyes that most shook Anthy. "Leave us alone," Utena coldly ordered the girl groupies, and they obediently went back into the dorm room. Anthy took a step towards Utena but she raised a hand to stop her. "I don't trust my self control right now," Utena said to her with a sigh. She met Anthy's eyes, "I couldn't feed, the deer's blood tasted foul. What's happened to me?" "I tried to tell you before," Anthy said softly, her heart going out to the bedraggled young woman who was standing there before her. Bedraggled, and strangely sexy with that feral hunger about her. "You never fed on human blood before last night," she said to Utena softly, "so your body was used to only having the animal blood. But once you tasted human blood for the first time, your body chemistry changed." Utena was shaking her head, her expression despairing as she asked, "I can only feed on human blood now?" "I'm sorry," Anthy said softly. "Stake me," Utena whispered softly, eyes closed in pain. "What?" Anthy asked, unsure of what Utena had just said. "Stake me!" Utena loudly demanded of Anthy, as a single blood red tear ran down her pale face. "I won't become a parasite like Akio and the others," Utena softly vowed, "and this is the only way to prevent that!" "But what about the other vampires that Akio may have created?" Anthy asked her, trying to reach past the despair she heard in Utena's voice, feeling a bit surprised at how much she was concerned for the lovely vampire. The pink haired woman paused, stiffening. "The only way I can live, now," Utena said softly, "is to feed off of human beings." She met Anthy's eyes again to ask, "Is destroying Akio's creations really worth that?" "I think so," Anthy said to her honestly. Not letting herself reconsider she unbuttoned her sleeve before rolling it back to reveal her arm, "Take what you need." Anthy's eyes widened, she saw the fangs gleam as Utena clenched her jaw, fighting for control. "Don't feed from her," the quiet voice said softly, "feed from us." The naked young woman led her five fellows out, surrounding Utena. "We serve you in all things, m'lady," she said to her evenly, then taking a blade from behind her back she slit the flesh of her arm. The blood fountained, and before Utena could even think about resisting the hunger she was upon her. The other thralls drew the feeding pair into the dorm room, leaving Anthy hesitating in the hallway. "She'll be fine," Keiko reassured her, her long brown hair flowing free before she turned to go in after them. Utena lapped at the red blood, guilt crushing in as the tall, dark haired girl drew her backward towards the waiting bed. "It's all right," she said as the nude young woman drew her down, the other girls helping them climb onto the bed. "Who are you," Utena managed, her voice coming out husky. She drew Utena close, a supple grace to her movements. "My name is Motoko Aoyama," she murmured, full breasts pressing into Utena's own, "my Mistress." Utena moaned, blood still gently flowing into her mouth as hands began to tug her dirty uniform away, striping her naked relentlessly. One hunger had eased, but Utena was shocked as another need rose up in her. "You shouldn't...." Utena murmured, gazing into Motoko's gentle eyes. "I want to," Motoko answered as she drew gently Utena's bloody mouth away from her wound as they slipped into a hungry kiss. Bare flesh pressed close from all sides as the sweet scent of female in heat rose up all around. A blue haired girl smiled a bit sheepishly as the girls drew close, her glasses gleaming as she explained, "When Touga fed we would all comfort the chosen one, give her pleasure." Keiko looked at Utena hungrily, "Will you join us, Mistress?" Utena let her hand slide down from Motoko's shoulder, cupping a full breast as the other girl moaned softly. "Yes," she agreed, tongue sliding out to stroke across salty flesh, letting her other hand sliding down to stroke across delicately wet flesh. "I think I like her better," a little blonde sighed happily as the girls piled on.... Outside in the hallway Anthy nervously waited, a faint blush coloring her cheeks as she listened to what was going on in there. 'What are they doing?' she wondered, a particularly loud cry making her blink in surprise. There was the sound of footsteps, then a familiar looking young woman strode down the hallway, her eyes sultry in the dim light. "Looks like I missed the good part," Kozue murmured, her blue hair falling into her eyes. "Wakaba said you knew about Utena," Anthy said reluctantly, disturbed a little by the girl's sexual aura. She didn't just look sexy, she looked... seductive. "I saw Utena out in the woods earlier," Anthy was a bit surprised to hear the honest concern in the girl's voice as Kozue continued, "she didn't look good." "I think she'll be fine now," Anthy answered with a blush as yet another wanton cry came from behind the bedroom door. "I'll say," Kozue agreed impishly. Utena emerged from the dorm room only a few moments later, dressed in a clean school uniform once again. She looked a bit better now, her blue eyes were less wild and dangerous, but a bit of light pink was around her lips. Along with the peace, though, was a odd sense of danger, as if something unpredictable had been fully unleashed. "The girl's resting," Utena said softly, an odd look on her face. She looked... completely satisfied, maybe for the first time since Anthy had met her. "Do you mind if I?" Anthy asked, looking towards the bedroom door. Utena just gave her a shake of the head that Anthy took as a permission. She pushed open the door, then stopped cold at the conversation she heard. "She's so much better than Touga," one girl sighed the other. "Hmm, that was wonderful," Motoko sighed happily, sprawled in the middle of the bed. "She was firm, but oh so gentle, too." "And she drank much less than Touga did," another noted. "Yes, I'm merely tired," Motoko agreed. A merry laugh from the blonde, "We're all tired, but not for the same reason. I didn't know Utena could be such a lover...." "I wonder when my turn will be?" and a wistful sigh. Anthy closed the door without going inside, a faint blush on her cheeks. "Well isn't that cute," Kozue murmured softly, having heard at least some of the girl's conversation. Her eyes lingered on Utena, taking in that slim athletic figure, and she wondered how she might join in that lucky group. Utena saw it, and a slight smile tugged at her lips. "Thank you for being worried, Kozue," she finally said, feeling a uncomfortable stirring within her sated form, her body responding to the other girl's unrestrained sexuality. "I'd be glad to help," Kozue answered honestly, a wicked smile teasing her lips as she thought of the ways she'd enjoy helping Utena. "Thanks," Utena smiled back wryly, something in her eyes showing she understood that entirely unspoken message. She became a bit more serious as she gently drew the two women away, walking with them down the hallway. "There's something I'm starting to be a bit worried about," Utena said softly. Anthy fought back a jealous frown at how closely Kozue stood to Utena, how the girl carefully turned so that her full figure was so prominent. "There's something else?" Anthy said, looking a little bit startled. It seemed that everything that had been going on over the past few nights was beginning to catch up with her. "Someone, actually," Utena said softly. The trio reached a window, and paused there for a moment. Anthy looked up at Utena, her pale body lit by the moonlight, looking more like a statue than a former human being. She looked so utterly remote, yet the faint scent of sexual musk that still clinged to her showed that she felt those all too human hungers. 'She is beautiful,' Anthy admitted to herself. 'Too beautiful, maybe,' she smiled, thinking of her own fading resistance to that beauty, feeling a hunger to be dominated by her barely restrained power. "Who?" she asked Utena, looking away from her and out into the night. "Akio, our not so dearly departed vampire, had a girlfriend named Kanae," Utena coldly noted. "According to Wakaba, nobody's seen her since before I slew him," she sighed. "You think that he turned her, too?" Anthy asked her, unconsciously fingering a wooden stake hidden in her clothes. "Seems likely," Utena sighed. "Kanae's reclusive, she'll be hard to find," Kozue remarked, leaning forward with a unconscious kind of sexiness. "True enough," Utena conceded. Her eyes widened, and a smile tugged at her lips as she whispered to Anthy, "Brace yourself." "Utena-sama!" Wakaba shrieked happily, and glomped her. Utena staggered about the hallway a moment, and Anthy found herself laughing. 'She knew it was coming,' Anthy thought as she remembered Utena's warning to her. She smiled as she watched the two friends play, but it was a bittersweet moment. Someday soon, Utena might be truly dead, or maybe in some eternal self exile. "Kozue!" Wakaba blinked, "What are you doing here?" Kozue met Wakaba's eyes, a gentle warmth in them that seemed so different than the hunger that normally shone forth, "I did say I wanted to help." 'She cares for Wakaba,' Anthy noted, 'is there no end to this slut's surprises?' "Utena," Wakaba said in a dangerous tone of voice, "what are all those naked women doing in your room?" Utena actually looked kind of stunned at her question. It obviously wasn't something that she had even thought about, trying to explain the new state of affairs to Wakaba. She threw a desperate glance at Anthy, silently crying out, 'Help!' "Oh, no," Anthy chuckled softly. "You got yourself into this, so you get to explain it," she said to her firmly.
