❝  i’m  feeling  a  little …  dizzy.  ❞ [Ren @ Asaka

Drinking blood from another. To vampires, this sacred act meant many things, with the meaning different depending on who you asked. To some it was simply is an act of survival, one done out of necessity so they could survive. To others, it’s an act of vengeance, one meant to cause harm to their enemies. But for the president of the Pale Moon Club of Keter University, she saw it was an act of necessity but also one of passion. At least...when she as drinking Ren’s blood that is, which she had been doing exclusively ever since he found out here true nature and offered to be her main source of blood. 

Vampire couples showed their affections for their romantic partners, who in the olden days were sometimes referred to as called ‘mates’, by drinking from one another almost as much as they did other acts like kissing or cuddles. It was a sign of trust between two individuals, an act that allowed them to be able to taste and feel one another on a deeper level. That’s why the mark of possession, the deepest form of love and care a vampire could give to one another, could only be given after a feeding. 

Vampire and human couples, on the other hand, had different circumstances. Humans couldn’t feed from a vampire. Well...they technically could, but the taste of vampire blood on a human’s tongue would surely cause them to be sick. Some people theorized that fact is a biological defensive trait that came about as vampires evolved and humans became the only real creatures who could stand up to them, as powerless and weak as they could be in comparison. So, they couldn’t exactly do that equal passionate exchange like two vampire's could.

Though, that didn’t mean passion could not be found between a vampire and a human. Oh it surely could! Asaka and Ren’s relationship was proof of that, especially when it came to feeding times like what the two were doing now. They were inside of their own shared bedroom in the penthouse of the Pale Moon Club, the nicest and largest room in the entire dorm that was down the hall from Asaka’s office. It was so nice and spacious some people often thought it was like a hotel, but that’s only because Ren loved to spoil Asaka and buy her all sorts of expensive things to make the place feel that comfortable and luxurious. At least her boyfriend’s awful and abusive father she wanted to strangle to death was good for supply funds, making him have some sort of use if nothing else.

Her fangs had sunken deep down into his neck as she laid next to him, Asaka being sure to do in such a way to please both her and Ren’s preferences. For some strange reason, he liked it when she bit down hard, the surge of pain feeling pleasurable to the human. She isn’t quite sure why, but as long as she is careful about it, he shouldn’t be hurt by the intensity. So, she indulges him. Ren indulged her plenty enough. It’s only right she do the same back, right? 

It’s only after what felt like an eternity (but in reality was a few minutes) does she release her hold on Ren, his blood dripping from her lips and onto his neck as the vampire was now pleased with her blood intake.Thankfully they both had worn older clothes during this feeding session and the bed was covered in a protective black sheet, fabrics they didn’t mind getting stained or dirty. She couldn’t let even Ren’s fruity blood stain the nice covers and sheets he had gotten her, especially not when they had planned to cuddle up and watch another romantic comedy on their giant TV that was hanging up on the wall after this.

❝  i’m  feeling  a  little …  dizzy.  ❞

“R-Ren!” The words make the vampire jump straight into action, Asaka sitting up and gently placing her hands on Ren’s shoulders. Slowly, she adjusts to have him sit up, thinking a change in position might be good when dealing with the after effects of a feeding. She did take a bit more blood than usual with this one, but that couldn’t be helped. Asaka had been so focused on studying as of late that she had grown rather hungry, and even with her trying to play it off that she was fine, Ren wouldn’t let her do anything else until she fed.

 Seems like she and Ren had more in common with Toshiki Kai and Aichi Sendou than she might have realized.

“I’m...I’m sorry. I should have...I should have stopped sooner, but I was just so...” Her head shakes, not wanting to make excuses for herself. Ren didn’t need to hear them. “Nevermind...Do you want me to get you anything, Ren? Like something to eat or a cup of tea? Just say the word and I’ll get it for you.”

Thankfully, her dorm room had a full kitchen that was stocked with all of Ren’s favorite things, from tea flavors to snacks. She was prepared for any situation. It was how she liked to be, and why the other vampires here liked having her as a leader.

Though, not even Asaka herself could be prepared for what was to come in a few months, the beginning of the end and the start of a new era for all...when the ones with eyes of ruby and sapphire will return to this world to enact their revenge and begin the life they were promised..

[ THIRTEEN ] sender was kidnapped, receiver shows up to save them. [Club: Junos @ Luquier & Fullbau loloolol

Luquier isn't the only vampire hunter in the area. If you knew where to look, you'd find a slew of people in the same business of killing bloodsuckers. It's not surprising at all considering how many people on both sides hated those in powers, humans hating the subjugation and prejudice and fellow vampires hating how despite their people's power there were still those among their ranks who were struggling for food to survive. Indeed their world was a messed up place, one truly needing change.

Although, changing the world was far from her mind. No, what her mind was focused on today was the fact a rival huntress, the songstress named Farah who used her voice to lure her targets in, had taken the very person she staked a claim on. It was a rule that hunters wouldn't seek other's targets, but since Luquier has failed in killing this one several times now, it seems like Farah thought it was fair game. Big mistake if you asked Luquier. For everyone should know never take the prey the silver-throned assassin has claimed.

"Oh, that siren is going to pay for this...No one is going to kill that idiot but me!"

She quickly leaves her seat at the local bar she often visits to gather information about her targets to be on her way, leaving the bartender a nice tip for telling her about the trouble lord idiot had gotten himself into this time. With a whistle, Fullbau appears in a flash from where she had left him, the woman gently stroking his head and praising him before jumping on his back. Her whip crack to the ground signals the High Beast to charge forth, knowing he can track his former master's location from his scent, even if it was faint. That idiot's smell was one of a kind, so fruity and sweet like candy, perfectly unfitting for a vampire like him.

Then again, she saw him unfit to be a vampire anyway. He was more like an impudent child than anything else. And here she was, coming to his rescue, like she was his knight in shining armor or something. Ridiculous...She's only doing this because he's her claim to kill, and she wasn't about to lose to a rival vampire hunter, especially not that singing bitch. That's all.

Right...?

The trek takes her up through the local mountain pass, a remote location that seemed to have either humans or vampires living there. It was the perfect place for any hunter to have as a home base. Luquier preferred having hers in an underground bunker in one of the major cities. It was easier to get jobs and resources, after all. Though, even she can't deny the appeal of being so far away from everything. The peace and quiet would at least assist in her beauty sleep, at the very least.

Eventually, ice-blue hues find themselves glancing upon a rather nice home. From what she could tell by the architecture, it probably belonged to a vampire noble and their family, who Farah killed. Not a bad place, not bad at all. Guess Luquier will have to put it to good use after she's done with the one who dared to take her claim.

Using all of his strength, her beast breaks open the door to the place, and within sight, she finds her target. Looks like he found himself being strapped to a table and about to be cut into by the songstress. Looks like she was just in time to spoil the fun. At least Lord Idiot hadn't found himself dead just yet, despite her nose instantly smelling his blood from some bleeding wounds he probably got during his capture. He was going to die at her hands and her hands alone. That was a promise.

"Hey, bitch! He's mine! As in, he's my prey to kill! You got that?! Now, hands off!"

“If you wanted to hold my hand, all you had to do was ask.” [@ Asaka]

The night is quiet, a rarity for the house of the Pale Moon Club that usually is filled with avid parties each and every night since it’s opening. One couldn’t blame the members for their constant celebrations. Vampires were not exactly allowed to...fully express themselves in the world in which they lived very often, especially on a large college campus like this one. It was that need for a safe haven for them that inspired the young women to pull together enough resources to create such a space, all the while keeping it’s true intentions secret from the even the top staff at the university. 

Tonight, however, all was peaceful and calm. Why? Simple. Midterms were right around the corner, and well, everyone needed to study. The last thing they needed was to get kicked out of school. Not only that, having a large number of their students fail classes could see them evicted from the club’s space as well. No way that was going to happen under Asaka’s watch, and that is why she enforced strict quiet hours that thankfully everyone was following, herself included.

Her face had been stuffed into her textbooks, scanning and absorbing all of the knowledge on each and every page of her biology textbook. While being a Theatre major, she still had to take some general education classes that required a more traditional study approach. Normally she doesn’t have too much trouble with school, but she’s definitely feeling the pressure and stressed as she looks over the book and her notes for what seemed like hours on end.

 “If you wanted to hold my hand, all you had to do was ask.”

The voice of her human boyfriend then breaks her out of her study trance, icey blue hues glancing towards Ren. He was a rather odd human, to put it simply, but it was that oddness that Asaka found to be very charming. Even right now, as he offered her his hand, he is doing it to try and help calm her anxiety in his own way. 

It was...sweet. Simple, but sweet nonetheless and a gesture she very much appreciated. She, of course, accepts it and feels a lot more relaxed as soon as she feels his soft warmth of his skin make contact with her own.

“Ren, I...” She starts, but is having trouble finding the words. Despite the two having been in a relationship for a while now, Asaka is still blown away by his kindness and handsomeness, one that never changed even after he learned what she really was. What a lucky gal she was, huh? “Thank you. I...I needed that. I know with your support, I’ll be able to do well enough on this exam to score high in this course. The future of the club is riding on this, and I...I won’t let anyone down.”

❝ can you make everyone else just go away? i know they mean well but i just want to be alone— alone with you i mean. ❞ [Ren @ Asaka, nobles or club or any verse lets be real lolol

Things had been hectic as of late around the Pale Moon Circus, ever since Asaka had decided to do a revamp of the entire show. After all, what was being performed prior had not been good enough for Ren. She could see from the brief glimpses she would get as she dazzled the stage with her beauty and tricks that he was becoming bored with the acts they'd perform each night. So, she had decided to incorporate changes, a lot of changes, to hopefully draw his attention back to her show and not the thoughts he'd continue to have about that runaway dragon.

Constantly competing with someone who was more like a ghost at this point was beyond irritating. Ren has told her that he hasn't seen Kai in his visions in years. On top of that, their group had not yet managed to capture that beast despite several attempts over the years. It was clear Kai didn't want to return to the circus, and while he was certainly powerful, Asaka had managed to acquire many powerful dragons to suit the circus' needs. They no longer needed him.

At least, she thought that. The director disagreed with that statement, saying Kai was needed to fulfill the visions he had been seeing. Asaka wasn't the type to doubt or disagree with Ren. She was devoted to him and had been since he saved her when they were younger. But this? She thinks his obsession with a dragon who abandoned him is doing more harm than good, especially when she sees the negative effects of his gifted eyes late into the night, when no one else can see.

There was no stopping him at this point, though. Ren would only stop this hunt once Kai was captured. As much as she doesn't want that lizard to return and once again take the spotlight from her, she cares more about Ren's own happiness. If having Kai under their thumb and performing alongside herself made the man she loved happy, then she'd do her best to try and make that image a reality, even if it's not what she wants.

Until that day came, she'd just have to continue working hard to satisfy him with what she had available to her. The Ringmistress had been putting together new acts for the show, putting people in different arrangements, incorporating the new beasts that were captured, and even changing the order of performances. She was trying something fresh, something to catch Ren's eye this time. Asaka couldn't bear to see him fall asleep again during one of her shows. It hurt too much...

With all the changes, however, came commotion in the form of everyone coming up to Ren to see if he approved of everything. Asaka had explicitly instructed everyone to bother her, and not him, for Ren was recovering from yet another spell from the lights which gave him visions of the future. He was in no place to be giving feedback right now. She also wanted the changes to be a surprise for the show tomorrow night. Looks like she was going to have to have a little talk with everyone for not listening to her instructions.

Before she can even go and arrange such a meeting, the voice of Ren grabs her attention completely. He was seeking a break from everything around him, just as he often had done, by seeking sanctuary with her and her alone. Who was she to deny his request?

"Consider it done. Please, give me a few minutes."

Asaka then gives a quick bow at her waist before leaving, slipping into that formal routine she's used to displaying when they're anywhere but the safety of her room. Out here, they both had roles to play. She was the tough and elegant Ringmistress and he was the charismatic Director. Only could they truly be Asaka and Ren when alone in their dark, dimly lit sanctuary, the place she intends to bring him to in order to relax.

The crowds of performers and staff all disperse at Asaka's command. They had all been practicing for hours and taking breaks was necessary to ensure everyone would be in peak condition for the upcoming show. Though, she was more concerned with following Ren's request. He was always her first priority, even over herself.

After returning to his side upon completing his request, the Ringmistress slips her hand to grab his own gently. Carefully, she leads him back to their shared room, far away from the prying eyes of the circus. The only people who had clearance to enter this area of their camp were Tetsu or that Psyqualia know-it-all Rekka, but Asaka is certain her pets guarding the door will do a good job keeping anyone from bothering them.

She closes the curtains, dims the lights, and then finally rests her head on his chest while wrapping her arms around him. They were alone together at long last. Even though it's only been a few hours since they were last in this room, to her it's felt like an eternity. That's how it always feels when she's apart from him, the very man she loved more than anything in this world or any other.

"You can stay with me, like this, for as long as you like. My chambers are always open to you, Ren."

❝  i’m  allergic  to  dogs.  ❞  [Junos to Luquier for Club lololol, junos trying to convince himself he’s not hurt by this absolute betrayal

This idiot...

Luquier had thought after their last encounter that night she’d never see this guy again, let alone so far away from the palace. Though, she should have predicted the possibility considering the beast she had tamed by pure accident. The fact it happened at all was still surprising to the young vampire assassin. In all her years she’s never seen a High Beast abandon their master, especially when they were facing down an enemy.

Then again, this noble idiot wasn’t much of a master, was he? That much was evident by the pathetic tone lacing his words. He might be trying to act tough, but she could see it in this wine-red eyes of his that he was upset beyond belief she stole his dear canine away. Serves him right for what he put her through that night. The fact he’s not a dead corpse right now was a blessing Luquier was giving him considering he wasn’t her target at the moment. No need to waste her energy when no payment was to be delivered after.

Besides, she’s sure he’ll be up for bounty again eventually. It seems like with all the trouble he causes and gets into, he’s a walking target for assassins and mercenaries. Noble vampires had no use for weaklings among their ranks. In fact, she’s heard a rumor the only reason the current prince of the vampires was still alive was because of his rare royal blood. Guess he’ll be an easy target if some vampire or human wants to stage a coup of some kind, something Luquier suspects will be the case at some point in the future.

Vampires...Humans...They all just loved getting into fights with each other for power. And while she has a preference towards the idea of the humans winning, regardless of which side wins she is sure she’ll benefit from it. With both sides hating each other, she’ll always have clientele, after all. As long as she had that, she'll continue to further her own position in the world. That was all that really mattered, anyway.

“Is that so? Well, I guess you won’t be needing your precious beast back, will you Lord Idiot?” The assassin smirks, petting the beast she had learned was called Fullbau’s head. She was enjoying seeing this idiot squirm. It was almost as satisfying as beating him to a pulp. 

Almost.

“You take can your leave now that your business here is finished.” She assumes he was just here to try and get his dog back, after all. Why else would he willingly seek out someone who was hired to kill him before? “Be grateful you’re not my target today. You might not be so fortunate the next time our paths cross.”

[NECKLACE] - sender fastens a necklace around receiver's neck- for AsakaaAAAAAAAA, this works for any verse tbh tbh go ham

Asaka sits comfortably in front of her makeup mirror, carefully applying her heart face paint under her left eye in preparation for tonight’s performance. This show the circus was to conduct was going to be like the rest, a dazzling spectacle that wowed all the senses and brought joy to those who were lucky enough to witness it. Well, for everyone but the Ringmistress and the Pale Moon Circus’ Director, that is. 

Yes tonight was to be a special night for the two of them whose eyes shone with miraculous power, a night that had become a special occasion every time it came around each year. For this night many years ago marked Asaka’s glorious return to the circus after her long journey of self discovery, the day that the Pale Moon Circus really started to become the marvel that it is today thanks to her beast-taming abilities. The days of having to struggle to get creatures to perform for them were over. With Asaka’s eyes, one a brilliant sapphire and the other a shining ruby, she had the power to tame any beast and use their power and might to make a dazzling spectacle for all.

She had truly made herself a vital part of the lifeblood of the circus, which meant she was also vital to Ren and his dreams and desires. Ren, the man who had saved her when she had nothing, gave her a place to call home, and who stole her heart, was someone who she desperately wanted to stay beside for as long as she could. That’s why she left in the first place back then, realizing her abilities at the time were not enough to remain with him and help the circus become what it needed to. But thanks to her transformation, combined with the awakening of Ren’s own power they had learned from the little diva of a brat Rekka was known as Psyqualia, the circus had become a renowned name throughout the land.

Everything was almost perfect in Asaka’s mind. The only thing that stained the perfect life she had managed to build for herself, the one she had made sacrifices for, was a certain person of the past that Ren just won’t seem to give up on...Someone who haunted her thoughts for years now...

That damm flame dragon...

Toshiki Kai...

The beast that still held some of Ren’s attention even after so many years apart.

Asaka didn't understand why the director still desired to capture that beast. The circus had plenty of dragons to entertain the crowds, with more being brought in with every new region they visited for one thing. Though, deep down the woman knows the reason why. None of the dragons they had, according to Ren, were even close to Kai, and thus were not fitting enough to fit the ‘image’ that Ren had seen during the circus’ debut. 

Until he has that dragon was captured and brought to his knees before Ren, Asaka fears that the wine red hues of her love will never fully be focused on her. That’s why she has assisted in the search and retrieval efforts of the damm beast, sending out some of her best dragons to sniff him out. Kai was a strong dragon, stronger than most, but even he couldn't’ take down an army by himself. He’d have to stop running sooner or later, because he should realize that his resistance is futile.

Ren will always gets what he wants, even if it goes against what Asaka herself would want. That much was a fact that even Toshiki Kai should know well by now...

Asaka shakes her head lightly as if to rid herself of the thoughts of that dragon. Tonight wasn’t about him. It was about her and Ren, a celebration of their beloved reunion and the rise of their circus. The young woman finishes applying the makeup and turns to grab her comb to finish her hair when she is suddenly stopped in her tracks by the sight of the director standing before her. Guess she had been too preoccupied with getting ready to notice him come into their shared room. 

“O-Oh! G-Good evening, Ren! My apologies, I didn’t notice you coming in.” She says, quickly bowing her head in regret. Despite her and Ren having gotten so close (some might say a little too close), she can’t help but be formal around him on default. It was second nature to her, a sign of just how much she deeply respected Ren and wanted to show him that respect. 

Eyes of icy blue and ruby red then blink as Asaka takes notice of an object in Ren’s hands, a silver necklace adorned with the most beautiful rubies and sapphires. One could tell just by looking at how expensive it was. While the circus certainly had been very profitable and she and Ren lived in the most luxurious of all the tents, they were still no wear near the level of the nobility that the director used to be apart of. So to see him with an object such as this in his hands, one that seemed like it was made for her...

She was left speechless once again by the man she loved.

“Ren...Is...Is that really for-” Before she can even say anything, he moves so he is now positioned behind her with the piece of jewelry in hand. Asaka’s eyes shift towards the mirror, gazing upon it as Ren’s actions are reflected in the glass. He gently fastened the neckless around her neck, it falling perfectly along Asaka’s collarbone. The gemstones shined brilliantly even in the dimly lit room of their shared tent. If they looked great here, one could only imagine how they will look under the lights of the circus’ mainstage as Asaka performed. 

She moves her hand to feel the stones beneath fingers, being careful as to not damage the object. A gift from Ren on a day such as this...It was one that she would treasure forever and wear proudly always. It was a sign that Ren remembered the day, that he cared about her, that he loved her, and she couldn’t be more happy.

Now only if he would express those feelings out loud and more often...

“Thank you for this gift, my darling dearest. I will always treasure it. Just like I will always treasure you.” Asaka then moves to pepper a few kisses on his cheek, only a taste of the affection she would be sure to provide him following tonight’s performance. “I have something for you as well, but you’ll have to wait till after the show to receive it. I promise it will be worth the wait.”

She had just completed her training for the day, Asaka having won at least over 50 matches in a row. Her skills were as impressive as always, dominating the battlefield with her skilled manipulation of her Pale Moon units. These victories, while all cheered upon by her peers, were not enough for the beautiful assassin. It had been no secret she had been feeling more pressure on herself ever since the eldest member of Ultra Rare joined her and Ren on the team representing their school. 

After all, Suiko earned the second spot on the team while Asaka merely held third, and the easily jealous teen wasn’t too happy some newbie surpassed her in ranking. Not only that, she had seemed to have taken Ren’s attention away. No matter what she did, she felt as if he wasn’t noticing her. It broke her heart in two, fearing she might lose Ren forever if she didn’t keep getting win after win. 

That’s when she goes to check in on him to see if he needed a coffee or any refreshments, the simple words that escape his lips come as such a shock to her. Asaka was not someone to become dumbfounded like this. She had an iron hard resolve and anticipated the strategies of her opponents and broke through them gracefully. Ren, on the other hand, was able to break through all of that with him just being himself. He truly was a one of a kind man.

“R-Really? Just...Just the... two of us?” Rosey blush that match the color of her lipstick appear across her cheeks, her heart beating so fast she can hear it through her ears. Was this really happening, or was she dreaming again? “I-It would be my h-honor, R-Ren! W-Where do you think we should go, a-and what should we do? W-Whatever you decide is fine.”

While it had been fun having Team Q4 and their friends on this island getaway more than she would have cared to admit, Asaka was happy for them having finally left. They were certainly diverting the attention of her most precious person, and she couldn’t allow that. Ren deserved to focus on relaxing after working so hard to get to this point, not helping a bunch of sorry losers like Misaki Tokura retool their pathetic decks. And that’s exactly what she had been working to ensure.

Asaka planned out a whole day for just the two of them, one that included going swimming, playing volleyball, cooking, building sandcastles, and of course, playing a few games of Vanguard. It had been one of the best days of her life, making her feelings of struggle to keep up with him and Toshiki Kai all worth it. Asaka would do anything to get to spend time with Ren like this, anything it took.

She moved to stand beside him at the water’s edge, feeling the gentle roll of the waves on their feet as they watched the sun set together. It was the perfect end to the perfect day. She knows that a chance like this will not come again most likely. Thus, she is doing whatever she can to savor the moment, this moment with him that is like no other. It will be carved into her heart forever, just like he had been.

“The sight of the sun is truly breathtaking, but pales in comparison to you, Ren. I...I am really happy to have spent the day with you. I hope you enjoyed it as well, and that...maybe we can do this again someday.”
