Chapter 2: Thoughtful
Juuri was still asleep in his lap. She appeared to be sleeping peacefully for the moment. Her dark brown curls partially coverd her face and his lap. Haruka, looking down at her, felt the hot burning of blood lust in his throat. Ignoring the ache he lifted his hand to gently touched her face before letting it fell back to his side.
Then the music stopped playing. That probably meant that the ball was going to be ending soon. The guests would need to get back before the hottest part of the day. Want to know why? Well it just so happens to be that vampires have an adversion to sun light.
Looking down he saw that they were in groups. Proably just chattering, gossiping, and scheming as they usally did. Haruka gave an exasperated sigh. It seemed that was all that they did. Claiming you had their allegiances, yet the second your back was turned, they would stab you. It was a good thing that Juuri knew nothing of this world yet. This world of kill or be killed that most of the vampire race inhabited. He wished that he could forever shelter her from it, but knew, at the same time, that it was an impossibility.
Turning away from the scene below, Haruka smiled softly down at the girl in his lap. Juuri, HIS Juuri.....at least he hoped that someday she would become that. He imagined that for a while.
Juuri would except his love for her. Then they would get married and maybe have a child or two. They would happily live out their eternal lives together, loving each other. Oh, how wonderful it would be if this world worked out like that.
While enjoying his fantasies, he toyed lightly with her hair as he watched her sleep. Enjoying the feeling of her smooth curls between his fingers. The candle light making it shimmer and sparkle slightly.
Then he stopped and frowned as an unpleasant thought intruded into his head. She wouldn't choose Rido would she?!? When the day came for her to choose one of them she couldn't possibly choose him? He felt the sharp edges of sadness and panic cut his heart as he gazed down at the sleeping girl. He wasn't sure if he could let that happen. Even if she wanted it.
Then he reprimanded himself. "Well, if Rido is who she wants then she desirves him....even if he doesn't deserve her. However if I decide to look at it that way, I don't really deserve her either." he thought to himself. "Though, who could deserve someone so perfict? Not that it really matters, whether she likes it or not, she will be wed to a Pureblood. And seeing as Rido and I are the only male Purebloods who are not yet wed, she doesn't have really much of a choice."
A sudden movement from Juuri distracted him. She had twitched in her sleep and bared her fangs. Haruka stiffled down a laugh. "I really hope she isn't trying to scare someone. She's just too cute to be scary." It was hard to imagine her even hurting a fly....doors and windows maybe, but not flies.
He smiled slightly remembering about one of the many times Juuri had a tantrum. She had been four. At that time, she had nearly torn up a whole room of the house with her Pureblood power. Rido had been object of her fury then. He had sustained a few scratches, but she hadn't really hurt him. Juuri was just too gentle to do that.
"To think everyone calls me the gentle one. I wonder why they don't see how much more gentle Juuri is? Though," he thought "everyone says I've become even more gentle since Juuri has come. I wouldn't want to disapiont her by doing something bad or against her will....well too far against her will. Honestly, that girl comes up with the wierdest things." He then winced slightly "And why does it always seem I go along with them?"
Rido never seemed to go along with them, no matter how hard Juuri begged him to. And that was odd. Haruka knew Rido loved her...but ,at least in his opinion, he didn't act like he did. He wanted her to act like a "normal" Pureblood female...what ever that was. What he seemed to want was not who Kuran Juuri was. Juuri actualy had a personality for one thing. She wouldn't do what ever anyone told her to no matter what it was. Though some times that was a bit irksome he loved her for it. Infact he loved everything about her, even her temper. It would actually be sad if she acted the way Rido wanted her to. He would still love her of course, and if she truely liked acting that way he would let her. It would be sad though...Juuri wouldn't be as fun as she was now....
Haruka's head snapped up out of his reveries. He had sensed Rido coming. "Oh great." Haruka mused "Rido is not going to like this."
