Haku walked past the classroom peeking inside seeing the handsome teacher. He looked down at his schedule seeing if he had this class at all sighing when he didn't see it. He walked inside bowing his head to the teacher "Hello my name is Haku, I'm new to the school" He smiled softly looking at the nice classroom thinking about trying to get into this class.

Music was pouring from the Dance Hall, trickling down the entry hallway. It was extravagant, it flowed like silken curtains. The smell of the food filled the air with its sumptuous aroma. There was everything from caviar, arrays of foreign cheeses, canapies, exotic fruits and mini fancy cakes. No expense could be spared on the decorations. Exquisite silken ribbons are draped all over the ceiling like tinsel. There are balloons arranged in bouquets in every corner. In the centre of the dance hall was a majestic fountain. It was carved from white marble. It was not water which flowed from it but champagne. This ballroom was truly the apex of opulence.

Stood by the fountain was the ever regal Valiant Black. The vampiric gentlemen of esteemed blood seemed to be a statue caved in the whitest marble. After the young scallywag had introduced himself there was silence. The uninjured eye homed in on the scant figured Haku. Instantly he snapped his fingers indicating the weakness in his posture.

“I am Lord Valiant Black." He purred in a deep baritone. "When you address an elder, a teacher and a royal you should display the correct behaviour. Your back should be as straight as an iron board so I could balance a book on your head. Good posture is paramount when dancing with a lover to maintain balance and strength. When you address me you should give your complete title and bow your head in respect which was the only thing you did correctly. My dear Haku you are untrained but not unsalvageable. I could craft your rough edges into a diamond.”

Haku blushed standing up straight as soon as the man brought it up. "M-My name is Haku Takamau sir" He bowed his head again then moved his hair out of his face shyly. The man in front of his was beautiful he felt silly for even walking into a class like this.

Looking around the smells were intoxicating, and the room itself was gorgeous. "I would like to join this class if you'd have me" He smiles softly looking back at the man holding his arms to his sides and standing straight.

The instantaneous obedience pleased the lordly vampire. He had no time for unruly students who didn’t want to learn. Even before they began Haku seemed to ooze enthusiasm. This zest was quaint in the slender lad. “Young master Takamau I will unsure your admission to my class is submitted post haste.” A finger rested under the young lad’s chin as he investigated his boyish features. Eyes of golden honey had an almost feline feel to them. The critical Lord found them to be charming. Then his eyes honed in on the lip piercing. “Is your facial ornamentation removable? Personally I am not offended by it but some cultures are. In the vampiric society a piercing has an explicit meaning. You are advising that you like to be bitten. I am sure you are aware of the eroticism associated with a biting?” He removed his finger after the scrutiny was completed.

“Young master Takamau give me your body. I need to polish your posture.” A powerful arm engulfed Haku’s meagre waist and pulled him into a slow waltz. “Follow my feet, loosen the tension in your arms and step with ease.” Pressed hard against a silk clad chest he massaged his fingertips up the length of the spine to create a new straighter alignment. “Stop look down or away. I noticed an inherent shyness in you. You are a man young master Takamau. Keep your chin up and look me in the eye. I have your hand as well. Let me feel your strength. Squeeze my hand.”

Haku looked at the vampire unsure of how to feel about the news of his lip ring. He'd never heard about another culture like that and he smiled softly "I've never heard of a piercing meaning something like that, I'll think about taking it out I suppose" He then gasped being pulled against the man.

He looked at him as he was told slowly moving his feet with Valiant's, it was soothing and he bit his lip ring when he felt the mans fingers rubbing along his spine. Haku blushed but kept his eyes on Valiant trying to impress the Vampire.

Valiant didn’t tolerant a student merely thinking about something. If the youth was to ever be present in vampire high society that ring wound be removed. “Do you know what vampires like to do to lip rings Haku.” He emphasised the fact he used the informal title of the student to demonstrate that he was about to act less than a perfect gentlemen. With a low hiss he flashed an almighty set of fangs. “A vampire likes to thread a fang through the ring.” With pin point accuracy he looped the fang in the ring and tugged slightly on the lip. “Vampires like to suck lip rings as well.” Once his fang unhooked itself he sucked upon the metal item. “Vampires like to bite those wearing lip rings.” Threatening fangs brushed against Haku’s lips threatening to n** and kiss him. Inall the dance was over and the youth was released near the glorious fountain. “Any questions?”  

[KawaiiPiderman]

When Haku saw Valiant's fangs his eye widened almost afraid of what was going to happen next. He blushed trying not to let a sound slip out of his mouth as the man pulled then sucked on his lip ring. When he was let go Haku looked down touching his lip softly still feeling Valiant's fangs still against his lip. "I-I... I don't think so" He leaned against the fountain trying to calm down to get rid of his flushed color.

The fact that Haku was flustered by the interaction made no difference to Valiant. Emotions were there to be dealt with no matter how difficult that may be. Instead he was relentless in his interpersonal teaching method. “I only allow a small number of students to enrol in my class so that the teaching experience is personal. The moment he requested admission was the moment you signed your body over to me. Since your body is now mine you will train it. By next week I want you to be able to walk fifty steps with a book perfectly balanced on your head. The book will only stay in place if your posture is excellent. I will also be checking on you anytime I want. You might be eating in the cafeteria and suddenly I will be seated opposite. You could be asleep and suddenly I am perched at the end of the bed.”

Haku’s body was now in his possession. He wanted the slender frae to be well groomed. Valiant was never subtle in his detection of grooming habits. He thrust his head into Haku’s armpit for a good smell of his body odour. “When did you last wash and what did you use?” The question was slightly stifled by the fabric of Haku’s attire.

Kiyoshi walked to this class expecting someone there, but disappointed when no one was there. He had hoped to learn something new and not spend much stamina. Decided to hang around here for a little while before heading to another class before a food break.

Kiyoshi spent some time reading while waiting for class to start. He let out a loud sigh when nothing went on in this room after a few minutes. Feeling a little hungry he decide to head off to the cafeteria thinking it would be a hassle to go back to the manor to eat. [exit]
