16 The first and the lord of the night

I let out a sigh and got the scrub and poured the soap on it squeezing it and making some foam. Then I looked forward to seeing Ai's pearl white skin and gulped. Closing my eyes I extended my hand and I felt it contact with a familiar skin. I started scrubbing her back and that was when I noticed, I did not feel any string on the back.

I opened my eyes and saw that Ai had taken off her top from the back exposing her entire pearl white back. She is trying to kill me for sure here.

"Kazu-kun, why did you stop?" she asked me bringing me back to the earth.

"N-Nothing," I said and I heard her giggle.

"Hehe, I made Kazu-kun flustered," she said clapping her hands together. "It is Kazu-kun's fault for teasing me so much."

"Okay, okay," I said continuing to wash her back.

In this little conversation between us, all the nervousness I felt was gone and my mind calmed down. Ai's little childish side was enough for this so I was washing her back trying not to be too rough. Once I was done, I just stopped realizing something.

"Kazu-kun, now do the front," she said making me stiffen.

"Do that on your own," I said as I turned on the shower and directed it at her.

"Eh? But I want Kazu-kun to do it for me," she said as I started cleaning the foam off her back. "Your hand is so warm."

"Well, I am a human so obviously it is," I said washing her back and reminding myself just how soft her skin was. "Ai, can you tell me something about the conversation you had with those vampires? About the blood of the first and this lord of night."

I felt her ears perk up at the name and she clenched her fist. I thought she was hesitant to tell me but...

"I will if Kazu-kun does my front too."

...she came up with a childish request.

"Fine, but you have to guide me since there is no way in hell I will look at you from that angle," I said letting a sigh. She plays dirty.

"Yaay! Kazu-kun will wash my front!" Ai cheered.

I closed my eyes and felt a cold hand grabbing mine as I felt the owner of the arm turn around. She guided it down and I felt something really smooth and soft and feeling it once more, I realized what it was. It was the ultimate and the most appealing part of the female body. Now, I am not materializing them since I am not doing that. I am merely stating a fact.

It was her thigh.

"Hehe, Kazu-kun loves this doesn't he?" Ai said in an alluring voice.

"You bet I do."

I started washing it occasionally feeling Ai move for maybe I was a little too hard. Not wanting her to feel uncomfortable, I moved down to the second-best part, her lower legs and calves. They were smooth yet packed a good amount of muscle mass which is probably why she could jump so high.

"So about the first and the lord of the night, I have to start with a story I was told by my dad when I was a kid," Ai started explaining. "There lived a man who was researching on ways for humans to become immortals. He was in fact a doctor but also a chemist at the same time. He made different drugs that would alter his body in many different ways giving him a horrendous look. But he did not waver and after years of researching, he made a drug and used it on him. That drug gave him superhuman abilities and otherworldly powers but it was also a curse since he started craving blood. Human blood to be more specific because if he did not drink it, his body would start disintegrating."

I was done with her leg and she held my hand again and lift it up placing it on her soft belly. I used my other hand to put more soap on the scrub and started washing her belly region with my hand often touching the lower part of something really soft and round. They were really big.

"The church found that out and somehow captured him. While they said what he did was dark magic, no one heard to his pleads which were telling them that what he did was not dark magic but the evolution of humanity. He was being publicly executed and was set to fire. He thought that there was no one who would ever come to his help. He had indeed locked himself from the outside world but he was wrong. There was someone who was there for him to help him."

When done with her belly area, she raised my hand and brought it to her shoulder. Is that something I am supposed to wash? Who knows? Without asking anything, I started washing them.

"She ran from the crowd and jumped in the blazing fire to help the man. She was able to get him off and as soon as he got off, they tried attacking the man but he ran away along with the woman who saved him. Her body was burnt to a dangerous level showing her inner muscles. Not having any other way, the man injected the second and last dose of the drug he was able to make. The rest all just failed and turned into dust. What he didn't know was that the second dose was a little different. While it gave her superhuman abilities but it made her body burn under the sun. The man asked why the woman helped him and she said that she had been watching him try and fail for years. Since he cut himself from the outside world, he didn't realize that the entire outside world was not cut off actually."

"This sounds like a romance story now," I commented once done with the washing and I grabbed the shower and directed it over Ai.

"It actually is. While the man could walk in the sun, the woman was not able to so they ran away under the bright shining full moon. They met many people and earned more knowledge and then both of them realized that there was a way to make more people like them. It was by their blood. Since the drugs were also injected in their blood, if they injected their blood in a dying person, they would rise up as a vampire. While they thought they were helping people, they did not realize that they were actually creating monsters who made them their god. This is the story of the first and the lord of the night."

"I think I can now understand why they were called this but they called me the human with the blood of the first? Why is that?" I asked her and stood up and dipped myself in the bath while Ai did the same.

"That is because Kazu-kun, what they thought was science became so advanced that it could be called magic. It was then it was found that the first will soon lose his life fifty years after the lord of the night fell into a deep sleep. The only way to wake her up is when one of the humans born on the night of his death gets to inherit his blood and it starts maturing."

"So I inherited his blood on the night of the super moon," I muttered.

"Yes, and that is why even if it was completely by coincidence, you have inherited that blood. It was not under any special circumstances except that you were born on the night when the first died. Your existence and actual place should have been known when you turn sixteen and your blood starts to mature. I knew about your existence a lot before that," Ai said drifting towards me and wrapping her arms around me. "In fact, I was the first one to taste it long ago. That is when I found out how special you are along with how much danger you will be and thus I have sworn to protect you with my life Kazu-kun."

"So you got to know about my blood being special a long time ago and these attacks which just started were because my blood started maturing but what does that mean?" I asked her with more questions coming to my mind.

"Unfortunately, I don't know about it that much. I tried to find out but I could not let my eyes off you. I still remember the Kazu-kun when he got his first-ever baseball. You looked so cute and happy back then," she said in a nostalgic and soft tone. Her bare breast pressing against my chest.

If she knew about that incident then it meant that she knew me from even I was six years old because there was no way I could forget getting that baseball. It was a limited edition one and was even signed by my favorite player. Too bad that I lost it the next day and came back home crying. Mom did not scold me but trapped me in her warm and gentle embrace ruffling my hair.

Just remembering her kind smile and dad's loud laughter when he got the news is still embedded in my mind like it happened just yesterday.

It was the day before they died.

Remembering those memories, a single drop of tear fell down my eye and I felt a familiar cold hand stroking my head gently. It was so soft and gentle that I could just fall asleep.

"Why didn't you confront me back then?" I muttered just thinking of the possibilities of how things might be different if she did.

"I wanted to confront you Kazu-kun. I really wanted to but when I finally steeled myself, that incident happened and I was overcome with guilt. I was around the area that happened and if I was not too late, they would have been alive. I am so sorry for being a coward back the-"

"Why the hell are you apologizing idiot?" I said interrupting her and put some distance between us staring into those beautiful eyes of hers. "There is nothing we can do. Apologizing won't bring them back. Nothing will, so at least don't beat yourself down like this. I won't like that."

Yes, nothing will change the fact that they are dead. We can cry our eyes out and scream in pain till our voice is gone but nothing will bring the dead back. Nothing was ever able to since it is against the law of nature. The only way for one to come back is not as a human but as something else. Something unnatural.

Thus, I averted my face away from Ai who cutely tilted her head in confusion. Does she still not realize it?

"Can you please cover those? It is bad for my mental health," I said trying my hardest to not look down no matter what.

She had still not worn her top back and her bare breast could be completely seen and I don't want to look at it. It would be too rude.

Seeing where I meant, Ai's face turned red and she covered her chest with her arms. There was a little cute pout on her face and the redness was covering her entire face.

"I know you liked it," Ai muttered.

"How can I like something I didn't see?"I said and just remembered that I still had dinner to make.
