Chapter Two :

"Freaking unbelievable," Annette muttered to herself as I snuggled my head into Kaname's shoulder.

"What's so unbelievable? Upset that you were wrong?" I teased, pulling back from him but still holding onto the sleeve of his black dress shirt.

"No .. It's just I don't know how this is possible .. " She pouted, turning away from mine and Kaname's gaze, her face obviously flushed.

"Well, hey. Look on the bright side. This means Zero-kun exsists." I poked Kaname's side and giggled when he smiled at me.

Her head pricked up at that, although she tried hiding the fact that what I had said caught interest. "So?"

I laughed, bending over from the pain it caused. "Ohmigod. Okay, fine be a party-pooper. I'm going with Kaname, see you later." I turned with him and started heading back to the car when her frail hands gripped the back of my jacket.

"Huh?" I asked, turning so I could look at her.

Her face was red and tears of frustration were building up at the corners of her eyes. "You can't just leave!"

"And why not?" I glanced at Kaname, who had a rather patient expression; the exact opposite of what I was feeling.

"What about everyone? Your mom, dad? They'll worry about you!" She was practically shouting.

"Shush or you'll wake the neighbors!" I hissed. "Now, you're actually worried about me leaving you behind right?"

This caught her off guard. "N-no! That's not it!"

"Uh-huh. That's what I thought." I glanced behind her at Takuma who had a small, sly smile written across his face.

I smiled right back and turned just as Kaname was holding the car door open for me. "Thank you," I mouthed as I climbed inside.

Kind of expecting it, I found the silver-haired hunter that Netty liked so much sitting across from me. I kicked his black tennis-shoe and smiled at him. He just glared questioningly.

"Em!" She sighed heavily but frantically.

"Push her Ichijou," I smiled devilishly as Kaname held the door open wide enough for Takuma to push Annette inside the car.

Using his pureblood speed, Kaname climbed inside the car and shut the door so she couldn't get out. "H-hey! Em! No fair!" She was on her hands and knees, trying to push herself up.

Chuckling, I helped her to sit on her knees and then pushed her back into the seat where Zero sat. The moment her eyes locked with his grey orbs her face flushed a few shades of red. "I don't wanna go!" She protested, finally being able to tear her gaze away from Zero's.

"Aw, c'mon, Netty. We've been best friends since we were three.*"

[[ * : True Fact, Annette and I have been best friends since we were three years of age. We met at a McDonald's playscape (: ]]

"B-but.." She tried reaching for the door handle when a pale hand smacked down onto it before she could even get an inch away from it.

"I don't want Emily being unhappy now, and if she wants you to come along ... you're coming along. Willing or not." His silky tonewas that of a leaders; of a pureblood's anyways.

I flushed and moved my gaze to my feet when I found his wine colored orbs on my face; but not before looking at Annette's expression. Her eyes were wide, kinda with fear and shock. Her hand shook uneasily as she nodded and sulked back into the leather cushion of the car seat.

The vrooming of the car engine startled me the slightest; the car rumbled to a start and soon I watched as we pulled out of my cull-dee-sack. I placed my hand on the cool of the glass and watched as my house disappeared into the distance. Like a final farewell, I bowed my head and shut my eyes, having a small moment of forgotten memories flash through my mind like an instant-replay.

Kaname's firm but comforting hand rested on my knee, making me look up and gaze into his wine eyes. I nodded my head as a thank you, before kicking off my ballerina flats and pulling my feet so I could sit on them and lean into his side. A long, strong arm wrapped around my upper-torso as I buried my face into his chest and inhaled deeply; his scent of roses and musk filling my nostrils. My hands clenched onto his dress shirt, the material crumpling in the action as I tried my best to hold back my tears of joy/melancholy. I felt his lips press onto the top of my hair as my eyes closed once again, and I heard him whisper, "We'll be home soon enough."

Boy ... I hope.

Uhm, I'm really really sorry for the short chapter! Please don't hate me.. I'm on a deadline. I have lots of grocery shopping to do .. and therapists appointments and I'm in the process of having my hair dyed purple ... lots of things to keep me from writing things properly and on-time, typically. So I apologize! I hope that you enjoyed anyways.

There will be a next chapter, so please be patient with me. It is appreciated!

Reviews are not necessary, but help for inspiration for the story. Thanks either way~!
