I quickly change into my bathing suit and wear my sundress over my bathing suit. I walk out onto the deck to see everyone also enjoying the pool and deck except for Ash, Kirito, Kana, and the headmaster.
Ash sat in the corner away from everyone reading a book while Kirito helped the headmaster cook food. Kana wasn't allowed to swim since she is pretty far along in her pregnancy so she decided to get the tables set and then sunbathe.
I take my sundress off and toss it on the chair next to Kana, She looks up and giggles at me.
"Yuki I swear if I was a man or a lesbian id be all over that body of yours."
I instantly blushed but was shocked at the same time that that came out of Kana of all people.
"Geez Kana, Pregnancy hormones getting to you much??"
We laugh together as I sit down in the chair next to her.
For the next hour or so we all just had some fun till dinner is done. After a while, I notice Ash was gone and had a bad feeling so I decide to go look for him.
(He couldn't have gone to far... this ship isn't that big I wonder where he went?)
I search up and down the ship till I come across a partially open closet. I hear a loud thud and grunt which worried me even more.
"Ash?"
I push the door open to see his back facing me, I instantly got relieved and go to touch his shoulder.
"Hey, there you are I've been looking everywhere for you!"
As my hand touches his shoulder he shoves me away in a hurry it was then I could tell something was wrong, he was sweating and panting really hard.
"Ash hey are you ok??"
He stops me from coming closer to him.
"Yuki go away right now, im fine just leave..."
I was speechless for a good second before shaking my head. I force him to face me.
"I'm not leaving you, you're obviously in some type of discomfort!"
Once I see his mask fall off and his glowing red eyes I knew he was panicked. I quickly close the door behind us.
"Where's your blood bags Ash ill go get them is that what your needing?"
He shakes his head and groans in pain, I help support him as he starts to slide down to the floor.
"Ash! tell me what to do how can I help?"
Ash takes a deep and shaky breath.
"You can't...this is my body rejecting...the blood...I..."
(He can't keep going on with this, think Yuki...Think!)
A question popped up in my mind and I gulped before asking such a question.
"Ash...Just do what your...Instincts are telling you to do im here for you..."
Ash seemed to have broke at that point and gulped as well looking at me.
"But...Yuki..."
I shake my head and sigh...
"Just hurry up already."
I tried to play it off as nothing which seemed to help the situation because Ash instantly pushes me up against the wall and I yelp in fright, He then carefully bites into my neck, and when I gasp his hand covers my mouth.
The sound of him drinking echoed throughout my body, I could tell he was dying for the blood because of how fast he was drinking it. Soon I try to lift my hand up to tell him I was getting light-headed but he seemed to have noticed before I could and quickly parted from me licking the bite marks which makes them dissapear.
"Yuki im sorry I got carried away are you ok?!"
I clear my throat still feeling a bit hazy.
"I'm...Ok but I think I need to lie down in my bed for a little bit."
I try to stand but feel the wave of dizziness hit me ten times harder, Ash decides to help me up instead and walks me back to my room.
Once there he sets me on the bed and helps me put a nightgown on then hands me some orange juice.
"Drink this and get some rest Yuki...and...thank you."
I giggle a little taking the orange juice from him.
"Brother it's the least I can do for you, just...don't hide it next time ok?"
He looks back at me with pity in his eyes before nodding. He closes the door and I drink my orange juice and decide to go to sleep for the evening.
-Kirito pov-
Ash comes up and taps my shoulder. I turn to him and look at him with a questioning face.
"May I help you?"
Ash clears his voice I caught the hint and follow him to where he leads me to a room where I see Yuki fast asleep on the bed.
"What happened? why is she sleeping so early?"
Ash sighs before responding.
"Don't go getting pissed off and starting a fight, I...I lost control today my body is starting to reject blood it's something to do with not drinking from actual humans and Yuki found me...She told me to drink her blood so that I won't be in pain anymore and for me that..."
I instantly cut him off with a punch in the face in which he stumbles backward knocking over a vase. It smashes into the floor and Yuki instantly wakes up. She rubs her eyes and as soon as she sees us realizing the situation she darts out of bed placing herself between me and her brother.
"Stop it Kirito! He did nothing wrong im the one who offered my blood to him so leave him alone!"
Her words somehow hit me directly in the heart and I grew even angrier.
"Yuki do you realize what you just did?! You could have killed yourself and-"
She cut me off with a slap to the face.
"My brother was in pain! It's my fault he's even in this situation Kirito how can you be so selfish as to punch him when it was I who initiated the whole ordeal. It is my blood and if you were in the same situation as him id do the exact same thing no matter how many times it hurt me. I will NOT just stand on the sidelines and watch the people I love be in pain anymore!"
Shocked by her slap and words I walk out slamming the door behind me without another word.
-Yuki pov-
When the door closes It was like I felt a piece of my heartbreak as well. Ash turns me around and hugs me.
"Yuki don't fight him because of me, I can take care of myself you know."
I couldn't help but cry a little, immediately feeling guilty for yelling at Kirito.
(He hit Ash...And I...I hurt Him...But I don't want to lose either of them im so confused!)
"Ash I just don't want to lose anyone of you, I...Please promise you won't leave again...we can figure out how to cure you "
I had started to feel panic and Ash seemed to have sensed that I knew what he was thinking. He gently smiles down at me while wiping a stray tear off my cheek.
"You will never lose me, now rest."
Before I could say anything else he had placed his hand over my head, I try to take a step back but it was to late, I see the light come from his hand and my vision goes dark.
