Chapter 67 - Confession

-----Yui's POV

Opening my eyes, I could see the familiar face I ran up to last night; Kaede. The room was still fairly dark as I notice I had woken up first with the others in the room still asleep. Looking at her face brings my heart at ease as I find myself smiling away while watching her sleep next to me. "I never thought a day like this would come." It's been over 15 years since I last saw her, and being like this with her again makes me not want to leave her side ever again, we have 15 years to catch up on. I brush some of her hair that was getting in the way of her face, brushing it over her ear to reveal more of her.

Kaede: "Zzz... mmm-"

Suddenly, her eyes quivered for a moment before slowly opening, revealing her bright, scarlet red eyes as they stare straight back into mine. Her body for the most part is exactly how I remembered, except for these eyes.

Yui: "Did I wake you?"

Kaede: "Yeah- but I'm glad. Means I get to see you sooner."

I agree. It was why I didn't apologize for waking her since that was what I was hoping to happen as we both smile at each other. We were speaking in our old language still in hopes that it won't wake the others in the bed next to us, her arms now wrapping tightly around my waist.

Kaede: "This isn't a dream right?"

Yui: "I hope not. If I'm to wake up with this being a dream, I'm not sure how long I can last."

Kaede: "Mmm- If it was I wouldn't be feeling this warm from our bodies together like this."

Yui: "I can't believe I passed out on you though."

Kaede: "Fufu~ It's okay. It was cute having you cling onto me in your sleep."

Yui: "D-don't say it like that~"

This time it was her now brushing my hair past my face with a big smile on her face. It felt strange since normally I'd be the one doing this stuff to her, it almost feels like our roles have been reversed.

Kaede: "I don't know how many times I had dreamed of this moment. To have you with me like this."

Yui: "It was tough waking up to finding out they were all just a dream..."

Kaede: "Mmm. Even now, I'm praying that all of this is real."

Yui: "Lets clear our worries then, with a test-"

Our faces were close enough that I easily go in for a kiss as she was busy playing around with my hair. The softness of her lips felt real to me, but I had to make sure. The sudden kiss must of startled her as I could feel her hand moving away from my hair and back down around my back before accepting the kiss. Our lips part from each other as we both open our eyes.

Yui: "Did that feel real?"

Kaede: "I'm- unsure."

She lunges forward, lips first as our lips connect with each other once more. At this point I'm scared if we accidently wake the people next to us. I don't want to get caught, however feeling the aggressiveness from Kaede's kiss only makes me wonder what's to come. Moments pass during our kiss where I suddenly feel her tongue hitting against my lips before I eventually give in, letting her do as she pleases, wrapping my arms around her neck. "There's no way this isn't real." I could feel every stroke her tongue was making against mine as we mix our saliva together. This is bad... I wanted to continue but this isn't the right time for this. So after some time I go to try and pull myself away from the kiss, however Kaede seemed to have other plans.

Yui: "S-stop. They'll- hear us-"

Cutting me off from finishing my sentence, she continues her assault on my mouth. I was filled with conflicted emotions whether to continue or to stop. However after some time, I give into this pleasure, my heart was beating too fast for me to suddenly back out now. I try my best to make as little of a noise as possible, with my eyes darting to the other bed to see if they were still asleep when suddenly, Kaede pushed me onto my back with her on top of me as we continue our kiss. I found it difficult to breathe in between our kiss as I found myself making loud gasps for air whenever I can, looking back over to the others to still see them asleep-

Kaede: "Don't worry about them. Look only at me."

She must of realized my worries, but it seems as though Kaede doesn't care about that as she only gets more passionate with her kissing. Suddenly, I could feel her hands gliding along my body, moving down from my collarbone to my waist before giving me chance to breathe as she shuffles herself lower, kissing the side of my neck in the process. Her hands are too stimulating as I felt like I couldn't move, like a fly caught in a spider's web.

The feeling of her tongue teasing my neck only made things worse as I tried my best to hold make any loud sounds-

Yui: "!!!"

Suddenly, what I felt was pain coming from where she just licked as I couldn't help but let out a sharp yelp, wondering what had just happened. I try to move my body but it was no use. For some reason, it felt like Kaede was immovable as I lay there, wondering what is happening.

Yui: "K-Kaede-"

Kaede: "Ah!"

She pulled away from my neck where I could see a few drops of blood coming from the corner of her mouth.

Yui: "Are you hurt? What happened?"

Kaede: "No uhm. Sorry- I couldn't control myself that I went and did it."

Yui: "Did what?"

Kaede: "..."

She looked embarrassed and also ashamed at the same time as her eyes look away from mine. I go to check my neck with my hand only for my hand to become wet. Kaede quickly puts her hand in my place as I could quickly start to feel the slight pain coming my neck disappear along with glowing light coming from it.

Kaede: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you"

Yui: "You didn't! I feel fine."

Kaede: "... Yui, I'm a...a-"

?: "I have no idea what you guys are saying, can you speak in human language please!~"

Kaede: "Sicily!?"

We both turn our heads to find the 3 girls wide awake on the bed next to ours, all staring at us. How long have they been looking at us?

Sicily: "Have you told her you're vampire yet?"

Kaede: "..."

I look back to Kaede who was still on top of me after hearing that bizarre question.

Yui: "Vampire? What does she mean?"

I speak in this worlds language since it would be rude to leave out the others in this conversation now that they are awake.

Kaede: "...She's correct. Its more accurate to say I'm a half vampire. Turns out I wasn't as lucky as you to be reborn in a normal body."

She looked ashamed as she continued to look away from me, not wanting to look me in the eyes as she speaks. I find it difficult to find the next words as I'm still trying to process what I just heard. A vampire seriously? Weren't they extinct now?

Kaede: "You're probably scared of me now aren't you."

Her words brought me out of my state of confusion as I find myself more annoyed than confused upon hearing such a thing.

Yui: "What a stupid thing to say. You're Kaede right?"

Kaede: "Y-yes-"

Yui: "Then I don't care! You're the one I love, I don't care what body god decided to throw you into. Kaede is Kaede and that's what matters."

Finally, her eyes were now looking back into mine as I could see her eyes beginning to water up. I however remained stoic, making sure that my point was coming across to her, making her believe that these words are true, while waiting for her response.

Kaede: "... You're fine with me like this?"

Yui: "That's what I said no?"

I could feel her arms were beginning to quiver while she tried to keep herself up above me, propping herself up until eventually they fall as he body collapses on top of mine.

Yui: "Kaede?-"

Kaede: "Thank you. I was so worried- worried what you might think."

Seeing the opportunity, I gently pat Kaede's head as my fingers gently comb through her beautiful silver colored hair.

Yui: "It is startling. But what I said is true. I love you."

Kaede: "I love you too. Always have."

What a sudden turn of events. Here I thought we would go all the way, but here I am comforting Kaede after revealing such a huge secret. I'm still shocked as I wonder what her life must of been like all these years, living in a new body like that.

Sicily: "She's had it rough. I'm happy to see that you can accept that part of sis."

Yui: "Of course!- wait sis?"

Kaede now lifting her head from my shoulder, turning towards the others.

Kaede: "Hey that was just an act okay?"

Sicily: "But I wouldn't mind actually being your sister, right Lillian?"

Lillian: "Mmm!"

I could see the look on Kaede's face, looking to be completely exasperated at the 2 women that I found myself chuckling at this scene in front of me.

Kaede: "What's so funny?"

Yui: "Nothing. I'm just glad you managed to find people who consider you family, even with your situation."

Kaede: "That's- Haaah fine~"

The two sisters rejoiced as Kaede sighed, accepting their declarations before falling back onto me, seeming to be done with them as she clings onto me. I go to wrap my arms around her again as I smile in content, enjoying the warmth from her body.

Kaede: "You're the only family I need though."

She whispered in my ear as her breath tickles me, sending shivers down my neck. I was still sensitive from what happened earlier, but I had to keep myself under control for now... at least until we're alone...
