Hey there! This is the first fanfiction ever that I uploaded here since I made my account at about... I don't know, 2 years ago? _ Yeah, how sad. Anyways, this ficcie was inspired to me by a friend who just recently found the joys manga can bring.

This is my first ever Barajou no Kiss fanfiction, so please bear with me if some of the characters are OOC.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own BaraKiss. If I did, Seiran would've married Kaede. I'm kidding of course.

"White Rose! I need you desperately!" Anis yelled at Mitsuru once more, vines appearing on his neck. She brought her hand up to his cheek while he held her close. This is an order you cannot disobey!

Kaede felt as if his heart was ripped out of his chest.

"Very well, I Tenjoh Mitsuru... The White Rose shall now grant the Rose Princess's desire!"

Instead of joining his comrades, he ran back to the direction from whence he came. His mind went blank.

'Red Rose...'

He stopped as he heard a female voice call out to him. "Who's there?"

'Red Rose... Join me...'

"What?" He turned looking for the source of the mysterious voice.

A girl in a black dress appeared behind him. She brought her lips to his ear. "Red Rose... Be mine..."

The Rhode Knight pulled away and turned to face her. The girl grinned and floated towards him. Kaede remained in his position as though he was paralyzed. "Be mine... and mine alone..." She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought her face inches away from his. Purple orbs stared into ice blue ones.

"I will be yours only..." She leaned in slowly. "...forever." She muttered before closing the gap between them.

The next day...

Looking for the Arcana cards was no joke. Anis stretched her arms as she walked towards the entrance of the school. She had her first Awakening yesterday. It was an amazing display of power, yes, but why did it have to be Mitsuru of all people? She sighed opening her shoe locker to change to her school shoes.

Mikage and Kaede weren't found among the bodies at the park yesterday. Maybe they left before something happened. She thought before heading to her homeroom.

She then saw a familiar red head going up the stairwell.

"Kaede!" Anis called out to him. He ignored her and kept walking.

"Oi Kae-baka!" She shouted once more, trying to catch up with him. He ignored her still and entered their classroom. She couldn't summon her vines because there were too many people.

Anis went into the room quickly as the bell rang. She went to her seat and glanced at Kaede who was two seats away diagonally from her. The teacher entered and all was silent.

As the bell rang to signal for lunch break, Anis tried to catch up with Kaede, but was gone as soon as the teacher left. She then went to the school roof to eat lunch with the other Roses.

"Is something the matter, Lady Anis? You've barely touched your food," said Seiran as he watched her fiddle with her chopsticks.

She sighed before speaking. "Kaede. He's been avoiding me since this morning."

"I see. Did you notice anything different about him?" The blue haired teen asked before taking a bite of his sandwich.

"Not that I can think of... He seems normal, but he wont talk to me."

"Might it be something happened between him and his date yesterday?" Suggested Mitsuru.

"Something...?" Anis shook off the thought and tried to continue eating.

Mutsuki glanced over the school grounds. A pair caught his attention. The White Rose noticed this and turned to the direction Black was facing. "Look, it's them."

Anis shifted her gaze to see the two of them walking together. Mikage looked happier than usual, she thought. Kaede smiled at her as they talked. What's going on? Just then, she latched onto his arm before they entered the school building. Anis swore she just saw the girl smirk at her.

"Oh ho ho, Red's got a girlfriend."

Anis stayed quiet and started to fix her things. "I'm full," she announced before standing up.

"Shall I escort you back to your classroom?" asked Mitsuru as he closed his lunch box.

"No, thank you." She left without saying another word.

What the heck was that just now? What happened yesterday? Was that why we couldn't find them in the amusement park after all that trouble? Those questions screamed in her mind. "Ooof!"

"Hey, watch it," said a familiar voice. It was Kaede. Anis stared at him for a few seconds before speaking.

"Kaede, where were you yesterday? What happened after your date with Mikage-chan?"

He replied with a glare and tried to walk away but was stopped as vines appeared on his neck.

"Don't ignore me, Kae-baka!" She shouted tugging at the vines.

He scoffed and glared at her once more. "Shut up."

Anis was taken aback by his words. The vines loosened and eventually disappeared. She was left speechless in the hallway as he went over to their classroom. His eyes looked different. They seemed to have lost their usual shine.

Kaede... what's wrong with you?

She entered their classroom and went to her seat as the bell rang to signal the end of lunch. Anis shifted on her chair to face her Knight's direction. He only seemed to be staring at the girl sitting in front of him. It was disturbing to see him act this way. She turned as she heard the door slide open. Maybe it's better to consult with the other Rhode Knights first.

Anis sighed and looked out the window. Everything seemed peaceful and serene. Why can't her life be more like that? She thought and lowered her gaze. But then, I wouldn't have met them if my choker never disappeared...

There was someone lying on a tree branch. She then saw the person glance at her. Blood red... She quickly looked away and blushed as their eyes met.

Wait a sec... What's Mutsuki doing out of class? Her eyes widened.

"That's it!" She shot up from her seat.

"Is there something you want to share with the class, Yamamoto Anis-san?"

"A-ah, nothing ma'am! G-gomenasai!" She sat back down quickly and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Hmph. Now class, turn to page..."

Stay tuned for chapter 2~
