Hello minna~ Its Honey Kisses typing. This is my latest story known as Bite X Kiss. Yeah, if you can guess, it's a vampire story. Hopefully, this story would be a great hit like the 'Here Comes The Bride'. This is actually as a way to say sorry to the previous readers of 'Extra Sweetness' for the lame, epic and failure ending… Gomen… but this is especially for you readers, so hope you enjoy this. Here's chapter 1~

Chapter 1: Midnight Nightmares

"Death Toll Rising In Tokyo-Victims Have Bite Marks On Neck." The newspaper headlines expressed so loudly it caught everyone's eyes.

"Hey, hey, did you hear about the news this morning?"

"Mmhmm, bite marks? Could it be..."

"VAMPIRES?" the two screaming. Both had hands clasped with each other and they squealed. (You know how fan girls act, or rather, how Amu's fan girls act when they say Cool and Spicy. That's how, if you're wondering)

The pinkette had her ears covered when the two girls squealed. She was looking outside the window when they came over to her place.

"Oi, Manami, Wakana, lower down the volume a little will you?" she asks them with a little annoyed look.

"Sorry Amu-chan." They apologize. She then smiles and shakes her head.

"Nee, Amu!" Yaya from the other class asks. "What do you think? Vampires?" she says, obviously excited.

The girl gives a look at Yaya. It said, "What the hell?".

"Obviously not. Vampires are fictional characters. You're reading too much of manga." She says and flips her hair.

"Aww, Amu, don't be so cool. I know you're thinking of something." Rima says with a smirk.

The girl looks at her with a surprise look. "Wh-What are you talking about?"

"Cheh, stop acting like that. I know you're thinking, 'Oo, vampires. I love them. I wanna meet one. I wonder if Tadase-kun is one." Rima replies.

The pink haired girl just looks down. Suddenly she looks up with an embarrassed look. "Kyaa~ Vampires are just so amazing. They're the coolest creatures. They're so romantic and… and…" she replies. That is Amu Hinamori, a 16 year old.

AMU POV

Actually, Rima's got something wrong. No, I'm not thinking of Tadase-kun as a vampire. He's too innocent. I'm thinking of someone else. Someone I had met when I was only 9.

He had midnight blue hair and violet eyes. He was very good looking. He was the same age as me, but he looked much more matured.

I fell in love with him. But I don't remember much. I only remember when I cut my hand and he helped treat it. He was nice. There was this one thing I remembered. He gave me my first kiss. A kiss on the lips before he left. And a few words. "If you're in danger, just call out for me, and I'll be there. I promise."

"I'll come back to look for you, Amu." He said. He had told me his name, but I don't remember who he was. All I know is that, his beautiful eyes still stay in my memories. Those sexy eyes. Ah, it might as well be a dream. But it isn't. It never was. It was reality.

Basically, I didn't really tell anyone about it. I wanted it to be our secret. Between me and him.

I've been waiting for 7 years for his arrival. But I haven't stopped waiting. Nope, I still wait patiently, coz I know, a promise is a promise. I always hang around the garden we first met. The flowers keeping me company while I wait for him to appear. I often stare in the sky, wondering if he still remembered me.

I went there again today after school. I observed the clouds. Today, I spotted a shape of a cat, dog, flower…

I closed my eyes, thinking about that boy. I keep thinking about the midnight blue hair, his violet eyes, his husky but still sweet voice that made my heart melt.

"Amu…" I imagined him calling me.

"Amu…" again he calls. I'm dreaming, I thought.

"Amu…" am I really dreaming? Its sounds so… real?

"Amu. Wake up…" the voice, this time, sounded so urgent my eyes flew open.

"Eh… emm, what's his name again?" I wondered. "What is his name?"

I got up and looked at the surrounding. Must be evening already, I estimated using mental time. I got up and brush the leaves that stuck on my skirt.

"Maybe I should use a shortcut." I thought. I didn't want Mama to be worried about me. I walked towards a dark corridor. I've used this way before quite a few times, but usually in the day, never at night.

I slipped through the small holes easily. My slim body doesn't stop me from anything. I jump up and down the brick walls. At this rate, I would be able to reach home in a few minutes. But I stopped.

Swoosh!

Huh? I turned behind, looking around. Nobody. Can it be my imagination? Yeah, that must be it, my imagination, I soothed myself.

But somehow, I got all defensive. I felt for my pepper spray in my skirt pockets. I'm fumbling for it, so that I can protect myself.

Swoosh!

I stopped. This time, I'm sure I heard something. I turned my whole body around.

"Wh-Who's there?" I asked, worried.

It was empty and quiet. But, I heard it. I really did. It's not my imagination. I know it.

"Come out and show yourself!" I tried to sound brave, but it came out as a whisper.

"Hahahahaha, you will regret for saying that!" a voice behind me said. I didn't manage to turn round because that person had held my waist tightly it was hard to free myself.

"Arggh! Let me go!" I said, scared. I wanted to yell, but my throat felt dry. I couldn't even let out a whisper anymore.

"Hehehehe, you are the prince's bride I see." He says, his hot breath on my neck. "They say you have the 'holy blood'. That's why the prince wants you." He whispers, sniffing my neck.

What is he talking about? What is a 'holy blood'? I do my best to release myself. I manage to escape but only for a while.

This man pushed me against the wall. Ouch, it hurts! I knocked my head.

The light from the moon wasn't helping much. I couldn't see him. The only thing I could tell about his appearance is his red eyes. And not all humans have red eyes which look so bloody.

"What do you want from me?" I ask. I'm close to tears.

He smirks. Then he comes closer to me slowly. "Blood. I want your blood!" he shrieks and I yell.

This man grabs my hair and pulls me closer to his lips. "Don't worry. I won't use my venom on you. You're too pretty to waste you know that?" he says, his hand slowly going up my thigh. What? What is he doing?

I managed to take a small peek and saw that his teeth were sharp. So sharp that it looked so scary. What does he mean? Blood, venom, sharp teeth? What…

No.

He can't be… a vampire? A vampire. I couldn't think of anything but this vampire. He was gonna suck my blood. Then what happens? I die like the other victims? I don't want to be left here and then appear in the news, "16 year old teen dies bitten."

Suddenly, something flashed in my mind. It was the boy who I liked.

"If you're in danger, just call out for me, and I'll be there. I promise."

Call out for him. He'll be here. This is emergency. Come on think, think, think! What was his name?

The vampire had started to lick my neck and I shuddered. It was uncomfortable.

I wanted to say let me go. But I can't voice out anything. My throat still dry, even though I wasn't thirsty.

What's his name? I closed my eyes to refresh my mind.

"…Nii-san!" I said when I was younger. And then I fell down. I cut my finger.

The blue haired boy comes over, "Amu, you okay?"

I smile and nodded. My finger was bleeding slightly. "Ow, it hurts." I showed him the finger. His body stiffens.

"…Nii-san?" I called. Why can't I remember his name? Why? Come on! Think properly.

"Nii-san." "…to-niisan" "…kuto-niisan!" "Ikuto-niisan!"

Ikuto? Is that it? I don't have much time. The vampire is about to bite me already. His teeth shone in under the moon light.

"Save me…" it came out as a whisper. "Ikuto…" I said this time louder.

"IKUTO, SAVE ME!" I yelled. Nothing happened. The vampire cackled so loudly. "Stupid girl. You think your prince will come save you if you just call him like that? HAHAHAHA! Now time for a bite." And his teeth was ready to sink into my neck.

I closed my eyes and I must have blacked out because I couldn't remember anything. But, I heard a sound. This time, it sounded really bad.

SNAP!

I opened my eyes slightly. I saw a pair of red eyes. I could hardly look at his face, but something told me I knew him.

He was licking his fingers while looking at me. "You alright, Amu?" he asks. Suddenly, his eyes turned violet! Those eyes, its... him.

"Mmm." I managed to say. He came closer to me. This time picking me up from the ground.

"What happened?" I ask. Something made me want to touch his face. I slowly picked my hand up and stroke his face. He just smiled. It is him.

"Ikuto?" I ask, softly. He nods and then puts his lips on mine. It was hard but… I liked it. His tongue in my mouth makes me even more want to kiss him some more.

When I let go to get some fresh air, he looks at me with his sexy violet eyes.

"Wh-what happened to the vampire?" I ask him. He looks behind and I look over his shoulders. There was a body. A dead one. It was pale and cold. Suddenly, my body felt weak. I looked at Ikuto again.

"Wh-what did you do to him?" I ask.

He kisses my forehead and I close my eyes, collapsing into his arms.

"Whatever I did, he should have known better. He's not allowed to touch my girl."
