Every kyuuketsuki has a partner- a human partner, a blood servant (in Japanese, a "chi dorei"). Only the servant and the kyuuketsuki can be each other's partners, the bond that they share with each other is so strong that it cannot be broken, it had been determined by destiny and genetics. The kyuuketsuki receives the gene to consume blood and other powerful abilities, the servant receives slightly more strength and speed than the average human being and other abilities that kyuuketsuki have but to a much lesser degree; also, they have an endless supply of blood, a slightly faster healing process and very rarely physical characteristics which can distinguish them from other humans. In conclusion to that, the servant isn't like normal humans; they are still most definitely human.
Because of the connection between the blood-sucker and the blood servant, the kyuuketsuki cannot drink the blood of any other human but that one they are destined to be with. There are only two ways that the individual will know, the first is that the kyuuketsuki will go crazy when they are around that person and have a strong desire to suck their blood but this may not happen all the time; meanwhile, the other way is a little more difficult, kyuuketsuki and their blood servants share the same birth mark somewhere on their body that has a certain shape. But that method isn't always reliable because some may have similar birthmarks which can be confusing to some. Sometimes the kyuuketsuki authority from an organization named Hoshikuzu Kyu ("Stardust Nine") will introduce pairings to each other. Hoshikuzu Kyu keeps track of every single pairing in existence and usually helps them cope with the burden they were born with, they also provide kyuuketsuki and their partners shelter, food and training if they need any. Because Hoshikuzu Kyu keeps track of every pairing, partners register themselves with a title, some use a number to identify themselves, others may use a particular word that they like, and others use both in one.
If they are any kyuuketsuki suck blood from anyone other than their blood servant, there will be consequences because they are defying strong forces such as severe bleeding in certain areas of the body, their body will attempt to control itself and other physical symptoms. And most kyuuketsuki will look down at that behaviour because the desire to drink the blood of one who is not their own is against their biological nature. Although, if a kyuuketsuki is very strong willed, they can overcome this but a large portion of those do not because they are satisfied with what they have.
Due to the fact that kyuuketsuki and the blood servant are bonded by fate, they usually meet regularly and in most cases, they become very close and eventually consider themselves as best friends, lovers, etc. as they share the same fate and future but it is not unheard of that one sibling is a kyuuketsuki and the other is a blood servant. And in return for the blood that they receive from the other, they must protect them with all their life, going to their aid whenever they need it and being there for them.
