Chapter One

Talon sat in front of the pure blood and head of the moon dorm. His name is Kuran Kaname. They were playing chess and it was the final move.

"Let's make make the final move more interesting. Shall we make a bet?" asked Kaname.

"The bet would be what, Kaname-sama?" asked Talon.

"If you win, I will allow you to remain Aidou's lover." Kaname replied with a mischivious smirk.

He had other plans for the beauty sitting before him. He wanted her for himself and would not let anyone else have her. Talon thought about his bet. She loved Aidou very much, but she didn't want to think about what would happen if she lost. Kaname's mischievious grin didn't help either.

"If you win Kaname-sama?" Talon asked hesitantly.

"If I win, than you, my dear, belong to me." replied Kaname, his mischievious grin growing as he spoke.

Talon sat frozen in her chair.

~What did I get myself into?~ thought the woman, also thinking about Aidou.

She looked at the board and decided on her move.

"Well played, my little pirate. Howeve," paused Kaname as he made his move. "my knight claims your king."

"I... I lost, it...it's not possible." said a distraught Talon.

"It is possible, my dear. Since you lost, you belong to me." said Kaname with a grin.

Talon got up from her chair and ran out of the room in tears. She threw herself onto her bed and cried.

"Talon-chan, what's wrong?" asked Takuma, the dorm vice-president.

"I'm never going to see Aidou again." came Talon's shaky voice.

"That's the bet Kaname mentioned?" asked Takuma, alittle shocked that Kaname would go so far.

Talon nodded her head.

"I have to see him at least once more. Ichijo-san, will you help me?" asked Talon in a pleading voice.

"I'm sure it will be ok if it's to say your farewells." said Ichijo with a small smile.

"Thank you, Takuma-san" said Talon, wiping away the few tears still on her face.

They went downstairs to look for Aidou. They saw him talking to Akatsuki and it looked like he was leaving.

"Aidou." said Talon sadly.

Aidou glared at her and smacked her across the face, obviously not wanting to hear her side of the story.

"Hanabusa." said Talon with tears in her eyes and holding her cheek.

Aidou just left and Akatsuki, Ruka, and the other night class members glared at her. They left her in the hallway in tears.

"Talon, come on. I'm sure Kaname is looking for you." said Takuma quietly.

Talon stopped crying and clenched her fists.

"No! I am NOT going anywhere near him!" Talon replied angrily.

"Talon-chan, please. In time, I'm sure your heart will heal and see that Kaname-sama is not so bad." said Takuma softly.

"My heart, you say? What heart, Takuma-san? I no longer have one. Kaname destroyed it when he ordered Aidou to leave." Talon growled bitterly.

She followed Takuma reluctantly back upstairs to Kaname's room. When they got to said room, Takuma stopped before knocking.

"Talon, please just give it time. I know it will be easier for you if you just give Kaname a chance." said the boy.

"I-I'll try, Takuma-san" Talon replied.

Her nerves took over her previous anger and Takuma smiled softly.

"Ready?" asked Takuma.

"As ever as I'll ever be." replied Talon, nervously.

Takuma knocked and they heard a soft enter.

"Kaname-sama, I-" said Talon, more nervous than before.

Ichijo just squeezed her hand reassuringly.

"I-I'm sorry I took off earlier." said the girl.

"Its alright, my dear. Thank you, Takuma. You may leave." said Kaname kindly.

~Maybe Takuma's right. This might not be so bad. I still wish I could have at least said good-bye to Aidou.~ thought Talon.

"Did Aidou do this?" asked Kaname, gently stroking her sore, red cheek. "Yes, but I know he didn't mean it. I can't blame him for being angry with me either." replied the girl.
