There are two types of human beings in this world: the divine, and the demonic.

Characters: Akiha Tohno and Katina Tarask
Date: 1/30
Summary: Akiha's willpower finally breaks and she inverts... on an unsuspecting soldier.
Warnings: violence, blood, and a forced kiss (no death!)

The days had begun to wear on Akiha, straining the limits of her tremendous amount of willpower. Too much had happened recently, starting with her discovery of what provided the blood in the Lake that she'd been sating her bloodlust with. She'd stopped drinking all together, not even partaking of the freely offered blood of her magician. Then Kohaku had tried to take her own life and Akiha had to divulge secrets to her maid she hadn't wanted to. But Akiha was tired of the lies. She was just... tired. And her blood stirred.

Encountering the supposed 'Queen of Demons' several days earlier had her blood running hot. She could feel her inversion impulse beating against the back of her head, pounding in her chest. Akiha should be in her mansion, should be taking heat and blood from Kris, and calming down. She should, but she was stubborn. She hated her Tohno blood and resisted it. Yes, it was her pride causing this...

She wandered the Gardens, restlessly, as she was moving more on instinct than on intellect right then until she came upon a towering mechanical creation. Standing in its shadow, Akiha looked up at Katina's 'doll' and sneered. What a worthless waste of energy for something that would never work. What was so special about it that the lieutenant had dedicated so much time to it?

Without hesitation, Akiha climbed up on the thing. Perhaps she would understand the point of having it here if she got a closer look. In reality, she knew she shouldn't be touching it, much less climbing on it, given it belonged to Katina. There was no love lost between them, but she ignored the internal warning to avoid this place.

But maybe part of her just wanted the confrontation that would come from this...

"...you'll warm me up nicely," came the reply as Katina ran from the demon. The sadistic amusement, that superiority, had returned to her voice as AKIHA watched the pilot sprinted away from her as if a tiger with its tail on fire.

What an apt comparison.

Though, Katina was running, AKIHA walked in an unhurried pace after her. A few seconds later and something seemed to wrap about Katina's ankle and pull back, accompanied by a searing sensation, not unlike the kind of burning one would feel after grabbing dry ice.

And yet, when Katina looked at her ankle, she saw nothing about her ankle despite the feeling that something was.

Katina ran, with no intention of stopping. Her lungs and muscles wouldn't burn; the human body was amazing at trying to preserve itself in the face of incredible danger. It was all she could do though, and she knew AKIHA would catch her, giving in to her fear only in the hopes that she might live through whatever AKIHA had planned for her.

As recklessly as she was running, there was no compensating when something tugged at her ankle, sending her flailing to the ground. Her ankle slammed into a stone, tearing open a gash, but the shout that escaped Katina was surprise and fear, the pain going unnoticed in the face of being grabbed and tripped by a burning nothingness. "Fuck... fuck fuck fuck..."

"My, my, you're bleeding already... and not by my hand."

There was a mocking quality to AKIHA's voice as she continued to steadily close the distance between herself and Katina. The grappling, burning sensation seemed to slip away, leaving the pilot with her own pain, as the demon approached.

"And such language... Am I going to have to wash your mouth out with soap?"

All that goading Katina to run, and she went own like this. In an instant, she went from a fearful adrenaline rush to her legs feeling like jelly, unable to lift her to try and make another break for it. She rolled over, looking up at the demon with fear plainly evident in her eyes.

This was it, she was caught, AKIHA would do whatever she wanted to Katina. She was already bracing herself, or trying to brace herself, for pain, for torture, for taunting, maybe for death. It didn't matter what she said or did. "Akiha! A-a-are you in there?! Come on, please, I know we've... we've had our differences, but I know you don't want this!" Begging was almost physically painful for her, but if it was her last line of defense against a monster she'd damn well take it.

AKIHA came to a stop over Katina like a Harbinger of Death as her long vermilion hair moved about her almost as if it was alive. The chase had indeed been entertaining, but not nearly as entertaining as watching Katina beg for her life. And she tried to call to Akiha as if she was something separate from the demon staring down at her.

Knealing down, AKIHA put a hand to Katina's chest to hold her to the ground and that same icy burning sensation wrapped about the pilot's primary arm, immobilizing it. Slowly, all the crimson hair seemed to settle, to fall down to rest over Katina's body as the demon leaned down.

"On the contrary, Katina... she does want this. She'll just never admit it." And that would be when AKIHA moved quickly to seize Katina's jaw and kiss her, tongue with the taste of blood on it immediately moving to invade the other woman's mouth.

No... no... Akiha would never admit to having wanted this.

There was still a sharp divide in Katina's mind between the prissy, arrogant Akiha, and the demon that stood over her. If this was what Akiha had been hiding the whole time, though, how close had Katina come to putting herself in danger before? Having to tread lightly around Akiha would be infuriating, but it would be worth not having to deal with THIS.

Katina laid there, trying to not give away her terror any more than she had. Her breathing was starting to come in gasps as AKIHA pressed her against the ground, her arm immobilized even if she did want to fight back. "Wh-what... does..."

Before she could even figure out what she was trying to say, she was being kissed. Kissed. She tasted blood - her own? - as AKIHA forced a kiss on Katina. Katina didn't resist, too surprised and fearful to do anything but lay back and let herself be kissed, but she wasn't kissing back either.

She'd been half-expecting Katina to bite down in her tongue in a final show of defiance. It was disappointing that she didn't. Did this mean AKIHA had broken Katina's spirit, truly terrorized her into the cowering rabbit she'd taunted her as being before?

Somewhere, deep in the back of her mind, behind the madness and the bloodlust... this possibility bothered her. The fight in Katina was one of the more appealing things about her - not that Akiha would ever admit it. She didn't like the pilot, that was for sure, but the attraction was there deep down. And this lack of reaction bothered her.

Breaking the kiss, those blue eyes stared into Katina's for a moment before flat words were issued.

"I expected more from you," she said. "How disappointing."

A heartbeat later, AKIHA shoved Katina's head back, bearing her throat, and her teeth sunk into the woman's neck. Her mouth flooded with hot, fresh blood and she began to drink.

For now, the fight had nearly been beaten out of her. She'd recover, and become more defiant when she realized that AKIHA didn't intend to kill her, but fear and anger had worn her down. She could barely catch her breath when AKIHA pulled away, defiance all but gone as she looked back up at the demon who'd caught her. "Maybe... next ti-"

And she was cut off again, but this time by a loud gasp as fangs sunk into her neck. Finally, at least, she was taking what she wanted, and maybe she'd be satisfied with this. Aside from shuddering breaths, Katina was deathly silent as AKIHA fed, her warmth flowing into the demon's mouth. Her heart hammered in her chest, feeding the the rush of her own precious blood. Katina raised her free arm, giving a weakened, useless shove, a token resistance as she was drained, wondering just how greedy the demon would be.

The fangs weren't very long at all, barely enough to even be considered as such, so there was more teeth involved in the bite, more pain, than a vampire's bite would be. In fact, if one were to stick their finger in Akiha's mouth on a normal day, they would find those canines to be a bit more pronounced than one would think. Not fangs when human, but certainly something.

The taste of the blood, feeling it slide down her throat as she drank, was divine. She'd gone over two weeks without a drop of blood and she craved it. More and more and more, the unique taste of Katina filled her mouth and brought warmth coursing through her body, raising her naturally low body temperature once more to that of a normal person. Some of it slipped past her lips as Katina gave that pathetic shove. That small display told AKIHA that somewhere inside the pilot there was still fight, and her lips turned up in a smile that was easily felt against Katina's neck.

But she didn't stop. She continued to drink... and drink... and drink...

stop NO. you will kill her soon SO BE IT. we don't kill NO, YOU DON'T KILL. you will cease now I WILL DO AS I PLEASE.

YOU WILL CEASE NOW.

With an internal hiss, AKIHA released the bite leaving Katina on the verge of unconsciousness and stared down at her as the pilot's blood slid down the demon's chin.

Katina felt that pain. At the very least, she could feel pain, as she felt her blood leaving her, sliding down her own neck. It meant that she wasn't dying, as long as she could feel those teeth against her skin.

...then that started to fade a little. It wasn't just adjusting either. She could feel herself starting to grow lightheaded at first, as though she'd donated blood. Nothing unusual, and if AKIHA stopped there, she'd be fine in a few days. But the demon wasn't stopping; that lightheaded feeling was slowly turning to dizziness, her neck growing numb. AKIHA was going to keep going, and her eyes shot wide open in fear, her struggle renewed with what strength she had left, for a moment, as she realized that maybe she wouldn't get out of this alive, all of her blood slurped down by this monster.

Black spots roamed in front of her eyes as her arm dropped, nearly giving in to her lack of strength when AKIHA broke away. Katina couldn't focus on her, blinking her eyes a few times to try and get a better look. "Finished...? Please..." Her voice was small, but more even than it had been.

There was no need to restrain her prey anymore, so the burning sensation left Katina's arm and AKIHA took her hand off the woman's chest. She brought it up to brush back the hair from her face she gazed at her, blood pattering down on her from above as it dripped from the demon's mouth.

"It seems I cannot obliterate that line, no matter how much I want to." For as much as AKIHA had wanted to keep feeding, to drain Katina dry until there was no life left in her, Akiha would have none of it, mustering up just enough willpower to make herself stop.

"Your tithe has been paid, my dear Katina. I will send someone to see to you, lest too much of your delicious blood stains the ground." She leaned close again, her voice dropping to that flat, tone once more. "If you are wise, you will keep your silence or next time I will take your tongue as well as your blood. Understand?"

It wasn't as though she'd be getting up under her own power right now anyways. She'd lost too much blood on top of her earlier exertion, leaving her limp on the ground, her gaze unfocused. Just staying awake was taking effort, and Katina knew that it wasn't wasted effort, if she didn't want to end up dying bleeding on the ground.

She nodded weakly at AKIHA's demand. No, she wouldn't have to ask anyone else about what happened - she was going to go to Akiha directly, no matter how many threats the demon made. The side that didn't want her dead was strong enough, apparently, so she had to hope that it stayed strong. "Gotcha. I like... my tongue... where it is."

"Good, little rabbit. Good. Now rest."

Those last two words, whispered as she pulled away from Katina and stood, almost, almost sounded like Akiha's normal voice. But it was a fleeting moment as the demon walked over to the Vine and activated the mirror, leaving Katina laying there as her blood continued to drip down her neck, and disappear before help would arrive.
