"His Broken Treasure"
There once lived a baby lamb who cried every night, feeling broken and lost as she always stared at the cosmos. Yearning to escape her sorrow, she cried all the time, hoping to be one of the stars.
Head held high, a cocky grin plastered on the pale vampire's face; he spoke eloquently to both the wonderful ladies [who also happened to be vampires]. Like soft jewels in the sun, his baby blue eyes were stunningly similar to stars.
They stood high on the balcony, gazing down at the world from above like Kings. The orchestra rang through the air with conversations that involved businesses. It was a ball like no other.
His diamond eyes gleamed down below, scanning the people who looked like ants from his view. "Aido-senpai~" the women sang in high-pitched voice. At this point, he wasn't listening. Why?
Something, or someone, had caught his eye. Swiftly and gracefully, he lifted himself up over the balcony, jumping off the five-story building. To him, a vampire, it was no big deal. The only problem was that he had gotten dirt all over his new suit. But that didn't matter.
He found a treasure.
Striding his long legs toward you, he observed you with his keen eyes, seeing your fragile and timid figure. You were like no other human. You were a mess; you looked like you were practically ran over with a dirty mop.
Your dull and soulless eyes stared up at this stranger before you; a handsome man. He was so stunningly beautiful it was impossible to believe he was a human. It hurt just to look at him; his halo shined so bright.
You sat on a lonesome bench, your clothes in tatters and a few bruises on your rough skin. "I found a new treasure!" the man bursted with joy, causing you to shake in fear.
His hands met yours, grasping onto them tightly. You were shaken, your eyes trembling. Who was this man? What was he doing? Was he blind? Well that would've been a shame; for his eyes were so pure. To Aidou, broken things were treasure to him. You were definitely broken.
A secret so dark and humiliating that you couldn't tell anyone; it broke you. He was mocking you, wasn't he? Who would've seen you as a treasure? You were so dirty and beaten.. He was really making fun of you.
Furious, a hand had met the poor man's face, stinging him. He stood, unsure of what had just occurred. Gossips were already making their way through the ball as everyone exited out of the fascinating building to see what the fuss was about.
Aidou watched as you turned around, stomping away from the foul place. You didn't belong there. Not one bit.
Later
Aido searched frantically for you. You were the rarest treasure he had seen yet; he couldn't just let you go like that! "Ahh! I didn't even get her name!" he pulled his blond locks, regretting everything he had done.
He had come to the conclusion that he was just going to snatch you away when he saw you. That's right. If you weren't going to oblige, he was going to force you to be his treasure.
"Hanabusa-sama, this girl you are looking for.. Is she a meal-"
"No!" he shouted at the chauffeur. You were definitely not a meal. 'How could I eat someone so beautiful? A treasure like that must never be harmed!' That's what he thought.
The chauffeur definitely thought he was crazy and blind. Did he not see how the girl, you, looked? It was obvious that you were a wreck; but because Aido was.. plain ol' Aido; he saw nothing but beauty.
He rubbed his temples, frustrated and fearing that he had lost sight of you forever.
He opened his crystal eyes, suddenly jumping out of his seat, "Stop! There she is!" he pointed outside the window, causing the driver to stop immediately. He literally flew out of the car, stopping in front of you.
Your eyes went berserk, seeing this madman. "Not you again," you murmured, scratching the back of your head while staring at the slouched figure.
"Come with me or I will kidnap you!" he pointed his finger at you.
You looked left, right, and behind you. No one was around. Just who was he speaking to? He stepped up to you, placing both his hands on your shoulder. "Look," you explained, "I have somewhere I have to go. Now excuse me before I get caught."
"If they were to find out that I escaped; they'd surely hurt my family.." you shook off the nasty feeling and mood that lingered over your head.
Aido gave a loud groan. "What is your name woman?" he raised his voice, sounding desperate.
You quirked a brow, giving in. "It's Haruna."
Finally, you ended up at the place once more. You sighed, trying to head through the back window.
"My name is Aido and-"
You widened your eyes seeing as the light went on inside the house. You jumped at the man who never stopped talking, Aido, and covered his mouth. "Shh," you hushed sharply, dragging him behind the building.
Aido muffled words beneath his breath as your dirty hands didn't let him breathe. You stared at the corner, watching the 'bad people' come out of the house, looking around. "I thought I heard something.." the monstrous man searched for you.
Aido finally gasped, getting your hand to release. "I couldn't breathe baka!"
"Who's there?"
You face-palmed yourself; you were caught. You realized that if you were to hide any more, your punishment would already be worse as it was. You stepped out of the shadows, apologizing truthfully, "I'm sorry," you bowed your head, tears already coming to the surface as you were scared.
The man gave a low growl, "When did you escape?" he shouted, grabbing you by the shirt, literally lifting you up off your feet into midair.
Your petite figure shuddered, the thundering voice piercing you already. Immediately, you fell into soft arms as the 'bad man' was sent flying across the center of the town. Your eyes widened, stared up and met with Aido's blue eyes.
He held a gracious grin. "I don't know how you put up with someone so annoying," he sighed. Annoying? Wasn't he the one who was annoying too? You shook it off.
It then dawned on you that you were being embraced by this.. This gorgeous man. You panicked, pulled away from him and began to head into the house.
"Where are you going?" he exclaimed, following you. You shook your head, pushing him back. Aido obviously realized that this house was bad. He looked carefully at your shoulders, seeing them bruised and the state you were in. His face softened in the moonlight.
He grabbed your wrist, and you stared at him with frantic eyes.
Was he really going to take the joke this far? 'Who would want to have a disgusting woman like me?'
"I don't know what you want, alright? But this joke that you're playing isn't funny! We can all see that I am no 'treasure' and whatever you call it okay? But I have to go in there, otherwise my family is done for. I can take a few hits and bruises, but I am no treasure."
Tears streamed down your face as you gasped for breath. Aido gave a dumbfounded stare, not sure how to react after making a girl cry. He frantically stuttered, trying to spew out anything; anything that would make you stop crying. And so he did.
"You're beautiful," he calmly said [also in an awkward manner]; and slowly so that you would hear and understand. "Be mine forever," he exhaled hardly. Aido stared at your face turn from a frown into a quite peaceful expression.
Still, you didn't quite understand Aido's strange words and so you played along. "And what about the bad people? They'll hurt my family.."
Aidou stared at you, realizing that the only reason why you were living in a hell house was because of them. He sighed, a relieved sigh. "That's it? No worries; I'll have them properly taken care of. I'll give your family a big house to live in, a luxurious life!" he promised, nodding furiously.
Hm.. What did you think? He was crazy. Definitely crazy. It sounded too good to be true that this man was actually willing to take you in, plus your family. "What's the catch?" Obviously, there had to be something to being his. Although it should've been the other way around, you felt like you should've been grateful that he was making such an offer.
Aido answered your question with a smile, surprising you as he pulled you down to his chest. Your face flickered red, and his eyes flickered red. You blinked quickly, wondering if you saw right.
Aido's voice was extremely handsome, especially when he was whispering huskily into your ear; like he was now. "The only thing you have to do is love me back."
Aido's teeth bared, his fangs barely grazing the skin at your neck. You shivered as he spoke those words and quickly a gasp left your lips as a sharp pain stabbed at your pain shocked you, but what shocked you more was to realize that vampires existed.
But loving him back..? That you could do.
And so the brightest star reached down, hearing the cries of the baby lamb. Embracing her, the star took her away into the sea of diamonds where she became one of them, staying by his side forever.
