ACT THREE: Prove

---

“What, I have to come back tomorrow? I don’t understand—”

“Well sir, it’s an order issued by the head of Kuran family, Kuran Tenma himself. According to his orders, no one is allowed to visit his home at this time,” said the guard waiting by the gate.

Ichijou Asato sighed. His plan was ruined with the order by Kuran Tenma. “Exactly why, please?” asked him again to the guard.

“Kuran-sama decided to spend some time with his children, Kuran Rido-sama and Kuran Kazumi-sama. That is why he does not want anyone other than his family to enter. Nevertheless, he said he would not mind if Ichijou-sama would come later tomorrow. If it is like that, I would tell Kuran-sama right away—” explained the guard as he smiled and waited for Asato’s answer.

Asato nodded with agreement. “Well then, I’ll come here again tomorrow. Thank you” said Asato as he turned around and walked towards his vehicle.

Meanwhile in Kuran Mansion, it seems like there would be a small studying between Rido and Kazumi. Alongside with them were their parents, Kuran Tenma and Kuran Aine. Tenma who saw his older son getting along with his younger son was happy with the situation. He hoped it would not repeat again or else, something bad would happen. Aine noticed Tenma’s slight features and went to him. She touched his arm and kissed his cheeks.

“Wow, Mom kissed Father!” cried Kazumi as he smiled brightly. He scooted to a closer seat just to see his parents.

Rido who noticed Kazumi’s action laughed. “Come back here, Kazumi! Don’t disturb them, it’s inappropriate!” said Rido as he walked towards Kazumi and picked him up. “Sorry, Mother; Father. We won’t disturb both of you!”. After that, he walked back to his seat.

Tenma saw the scene and laughed. “Don’t go yet, Rido. Come here both of you!” said him as he opened his arms and they soon dashed towards him. “Well my beautiful sons, I am glad to have both of you!”

“Beautiful? Should not it be for girls, Father? I think ‘handsome’ is much better” corrected Rido as he smiled at his Father who was holding him.

Aine laughed as well. “Indeed...” she said as she curled Rido’s and Kazumi’s hairs at the same time. “You both are beautiful and handsome together—” finished her. Tenma agreed and kissed both his sons on the cheeks. “Dear, should tonight be that special night?” asked Aine again to her husband.

Tenma stared at her red lavender eyes. He then smiled with delight, “Yes, my dear. Tonight is the night. Boys, I want both of you to wear the best clothes you have for tonight’s dinner!” said him as he smiled.

“Are we having a dinner party?” asked Kazumi since he was confused. Seeing the smile at his Father’s face, he thought of something else, and said, “Ah, a special dinner for the four of us?!” cried him.

Aine clapped her hands and hugged both Rido and Kazumi. “Correct, now go and return to your small lessons. We’ll see you tonight later” said her as she kissed both her sons’ cheeks as they stepped down from their Father’s lap and left the room.

--

So now, they were alone in that secluded room. Tenma touched Aine’s hands and wondered what she wanted to talk with him. Aine turned and faced Tenma as she blushed a second later. She chuckled and touched Tenma’s hair.

“Your hair, I liked it so much—” started her as she curled his hair up and around. “We have never met formally before we were married, right?” asked her as she stared at his deep red eyes.

Tenma nodded and kissed her hands. “True, I didn’t even know you at all, even though you are also a pureblood vampire, like me—” said Tenma as he blew a soft kiss on her hands, making her blushed.

“But you are a different kind of pureblood. Tenma, your lineage! Your family is different from mine, and other purebloods families. You are a royal, while I am a not. I am just a pureblood, we don’t match well—” cried Aine as she pushed Tenma on his chest. Tears flowed on her beautiful face as she cried.

“What are you? Are you kidding me, Aine? You are my wife! My pureblood wife and the mother to my children! Even if before I am a part of the royal family, but it was no longer here anymore. Remember, the monarchy had been abolished by my grandfather long years ago! Now, I am just a pureblood like you. You are my mate, my pureblood lady, my Aine—” said Tenma as he pulled her closer to him and kissed her softly.

She accepted the kiss from Tenma. Indeed, Kuran Tenma was her husband, her pureblood husband, her mate and of course, he was hers alone. Tenma belonged to her alone, and no one can take him away from her. No vampires were going to take her husband. She loved Tenma, and she knew he loved her in return.

He sighed as he wiped away the tears from Aine’s eyes. “What was wrong with you, Aine? Since when did you think you were different from me? We are married for seven years, and we had two children. I loved you, and do you want me to prove it for you?!” asked Tenma as he stared at her straight, waiting for her answer.

Aine blushed on his question. When he asked what prove she wanted, she was thinking about their intimate moments in bed. She covered her face as she was blushing hard thinking more about it. Tenma crawled towards her, took her hands, and put it aside. He turned her face to his view and noticed she was closing her eyes and blushing hard. He smiled and whispered to her ears, “Are you thinking about sex?” asked him.

She opened her eyes and felt hot throughout her spine and all over her body. Her face was hot red as she saw Tenma grinned at her. “Ten— Tenma, would you do that for me?” asked her as she formed her knees to stayed in front of her blushing face. Unknowingly to her, Tenma saw her panties and blushed just by seeing it.

Tenma smiled and kissed her lips passionately. “You are voluptuous, Aine. You responded to my kisses quite well” whispered Tenma as he pulled Aine’s long legs and opened it wide, revealing her mons. He noticed the hot white-crystal liquids pouring out of her insides, and that made his eyes rolled. He touched it and moved his finger around it just to arouse her more and more.

“Ahn, Nn!! Tenma, do not do it like that! You aroused me, ah!!” cried Aine as she tried to escape Tenma’s playful finger. However, at the same time he locked her body with his powerful arms. Finally, he removed her panties revealing more of her private parts. Again, he played with it but then, he inserted his finger in her and did it many times. Aine managed to put her legs on Tenma’s shoulder as she tried to keep up with him.

It was not enough, Tenma said in his mind. He wanted to see more of Aine, and he wanted her bare from her garments. He also remembered that he himself was still clothed. He wanted to be free of his garments, and he was doing it in front of her. He stripped his shirt and returned to her to take off her upper garment, revealing her soft, round breasts. He held it firmly in his hands as he played with it.

“Aroused, wife?” asked Tenma as he kissed Aine’s lips romantically. His tongue went inside her mouth, tickling her own tongue. He managed to lick her tongue outside her mouth. Then he kissed her again before moving around to her neck. He sniffed her neck and found the source he needed, but before he could do anything, Aine took off his trousers and so, they were both naked.

“Do you want to do both at the same time?” asked Tenma when he realized Aine wanted to do both at the same time. Satisfied with her views, he moved closer to her and brought her to his phallus as he moved inside her slowly. As soon as he got the rhythm, he moved faster and much faster. Aine was clutching his back trying to keep up with his movements.

Waiting for no time to spare, Tenma who was still inside Aine went to her neck, opened his mouth wide, and lick her. His actions startled Aine but he continued pleasuring her. When he found the perfect spot to bite, he bit her. It was harsh and he did it too early. His bite hurt Aine’s neck but she bear it for him as this was his prove of his love towards her.

They stayed on in that position for a quite some time, and as soon as both parties were satisfied with their partners, Tenma released Aine. He sat on the floor and cried his satisfaction. “I love you, Aine. You always made me feel like I am in Heaven, with you” said Tenma as he brushed his lips to Aine’s lips. Aine closed her hands around Tenma’s back as they shared a passionate kiss.

--

Asato returned home and faced his Father who was waiting for his return. “How was it? Do you get to see the boy?” asked Ichijou with demand in his eyes.

Asato shook his head. “Not yet, Father. Tenma said that he wanted to spend some time with his children and forbid anyone from entering his home. I promised I would come tomorrow instead. Seriously, it was nonsense!” cried Asato as he sat down and cursed around the house.

Ichijou re-thought about everything that had happened. “I don’t mind anything; just try to make the plan to succeed. As long as we manage to make the boy listen to us, everything else would be fine. Well, go and rest now. I am sure you are still pissed with what happened just now. Are sure no one suspected you?” asked Ichijou.

Asato shook his head again. “The guard didn’t looked suspicious to me at all, I’m sure it would be fine. Good day, Father. I’ll take a look at Azuma before taking a rest—” said Asato as he left the room to see his son.

--

Kazumi peaked into the room and saw his brother just left the bathroom. Rido was drying up his hair, but he was not wearing his clothes yet. Kazumi slowly slipped into the room, escaping Rido’s suspicious eyes that were looking around for traces of someone entering the room. He bent down and looked for any clues. He walked towards the table, where Kazumi was hiding and slowly slammed the door. “Caught you!!” cried him as he ran around the table and found Kazumi who was hiding. “Kazumi!!” cried Rido as he dragged little Kazumi out from his hiding place.

Rido dragged Kazumi and easily, Kazumi fell down on the bed. Slowly, Rido bent on top of Kazumi and stared at him. Practically, his position made Kazumi’s blushed. Rido was a six years old, and Kazumi was just four! What would Rido do?

“Kazumi—” called Rido as he trapped Kazumi’s arms and bent lower towards him. “Kazumi—” called him again as he was reaching for Kazumi’s neck. He was sniffing on his neck and suddenly his mouth opened and he bit Kazumi harshly.

“Ugh!” yelped Kazumi as he tried to push Rido away from him. “Brother, it hurts!” cried Kazumi as he ended up crying. “It hurts!” complained him as he cried loudly.

Downstairs, Aine who was with Tenma rushed to their son’s bedroom to see what happened. As they opened the door...

“Kazumi, my baby! What’s wrong?!” called Aine but she screamed when she saw what happened.

“Dear, what happened? Why are you screaming?” asked Tenma as he touched his wife’s shoulder. His eyes widened when he saw the scene in his son’s bedroom. “Rido! Leave your poor brother alone!” hissed him as he ran towards both Rido and Kazumi and quickly pulled him from Kazumi who was crying hard.

Aine rushed to Kazumi’s side and soothed him with her kisses and cooing. “Now, now Kazumi, it won’t hurt badly it will go soon, I promise—” said Aine as she hugged Kazumi who was still crying.

“It hurts, mommy! It hurts!” cried Kazumi as he hugged his Mother tightly.

Aine looked at Tenma on what should be done next. Her son Kazumi was feeling unwell due to the bite made by his own brother, Rido. She looked at Rido whose mouth was full with blood, Kazumi’s blood. “Rido, come here—” called her softly. She waited for Rido to make a move, but he did not move at all. Seeing the condition, Tenma pulled Rido’s small arms and walked him towards his Mother.

“Mother, I’m sorry! I cannot control myself! Kazumi, I’m sorry!” apologized Rido as he returned with tears. “I’m sorry!!” cried he as he wiped his tears but he kept crying and Aine had to asked Tenma to make Rido stop.

“Kuran Rido, please! Stop crying, my boy! It is not your fault, but what you did certainly hurt your brother. There, calm down, Rido. I am not angry with you, please Rido. Stop crying, please—” pleaded Tenma as he caressed Rido’s small head.

Eventually, Rido stopped crying and so did Kazumi. Both of them faced each other and hugged each other in the end. Aine and Tenma joined them and hugged both their sons. Although the bloods ruined their clothes, as long as all of them have something beautiful to share with, nothing can stop them. Nothing would, nothing would ever stop them.

After all those troubles, eventually each one of them just decided to take another bath. However, they will not be taking bath alone, but together. She tied her hair and entered the bathroom. Kuran Aine, being nude in front of her husband and her two sons. Well, her sons were still much younger and it was all right for them to saw her not wearing a single stitch on her body.

Certainly, Kuran Tenma would always flushed when he saw his wife tending his children. Deep in his heart’s core, he does not want to let free of Aine, but for his sons’ sakes, he just would let her go. After all, in the end, she would climb back to his bed and they would make love together. He saw his two sons running around their mother, and also touching her back and laughing with her.

It was a perfect moment, and Tenma would not waste any of it. He stood up and went to his wife and children. He picked Aine and put her into the bathtub, while he caught the other two and put them in the bathtub. In the end, he entered the bathtub and managed to stole a kiss from Aine. Kazumi saw the scene and touched both his parents with delight.

“Kiss more, papa; mama!” suggested him as he play with the water. Rido agreed with Kazumi’s idea. The boys were so in love seeing their parent’s intimate moment and wanted to see more of it. “Come on, dad! Do it, please!!” begged Rido followed with Kazumi. The boys’ demands were too much for them to handle, but Tenma did just what the boys wanted.

“Come now, wife. After all, it’s your children we are talking about” said Tenma as he grinned.

“Dear! In front of them? I do not think it is appropriate! After all, we only do in when we’re in private—” said Aine as she moved behind to avoid Tenma’s possible attacks.

“Just a kiss, dear! Come on!” said Tenma as he took Aine’s hands and kissed her. Nevertheless, he was closed to her and she could felt his erected shaft trying to go inside of her. She blushed but kept kissing Tenma passionately. She then managed to touched his bottom and squeezed it so hard that he stopped kissing her and cried for pain.

The boys stopped playing with the water and saw their Mother’s legs had reached their Father’s body. She was bending and curling herself on Tenma’s body. It felt good, she thought. She felt no shame, nothing at all. She just felt the hotness of Tenma’s body. He felt so good with her, and on another minute, he was inside her. She cried with delight, forgetting her children who was watching her weeping and moaning in pleasure.

He was moving inside her, and he knew she was feeling good with him. She was touching his bottoms, and he was inside her. He felt good being inside her, although they made love hours before. However, doing it again would still work, he thought. Realizing the chuckles of his sons behind him, he kissed Aine’s cheeks and whispered to her that it is the end of their intimate moment.

She nodded and slowly fell down to the bottom of the bathtub. Tenma sat down on the bathtub and took the soap as he washed Rido’s back. Aine washed Kazumi’s back. While they were doing it, Kazumi noticed a bite mark on Aine’s neck and asked her about it. Aine touched her bite mark and blushed, she then softly told Kazumi that it was Tenma’s bite mark. Kazumi touched his neck and asked, “Then this is brother’s bite mark?”.

Tenma nodded. “But it would heal soon, don’t worry” added Tenma as he washed Rido’s body.

A while later, they stepped out from the bathtub and dressed beautifully for the special dinner party. They spent their time eating and laughing while eating the special dinner. It was simply perfect, a father, a mother and two sons eating dinner together. In the end, they all slept on the same bed.

--

A day later, in the Kiku Mansion, young Kiku Kimiko walked towards the gate. But she was called. “Yes, Maria?” asked her when she saw her maid, Maria, coming towards her. The maid told her about her visit and Kimiko quickly nodded and ran towards the car. “Thank you, Maria!” said Kimiko as she continued running towards the car.

Kiku Kimiko would be visitting someone special that day. She entered her car and it moved to its destination.
