[One-shot #3: Hanabusa Aidou: Hate it when I love you]
Oh how I hated the golden-haired vampire so much... He get on my nerves as quick as a rabbit could leap, but if he saw one, he'd might as well go after it instead of girls. His electrical-mesmorizing blue eyes are like traps that capture you and then it eats you up like a venus flytrap!
Wait... did I just say his eyes were mesmorizing?
I scowled to myself and Yuki blinked, frowning.
"What's the matter, Xera-chan?"
"Oh... some doofus's eyes popped in my mind..."
"Doofus? Aidou-kun?"
I nodded.
"Do you ... like him?"
I did a spittake with the morning milk in my hand and Zero moved out of the way from being sprayed. I accidently sprayed two Day-Class girls and I chuckled slightly.
"Sorry... I'll pay for your laundry cleaning. So... go. Shoo."
They scowled at me and left, I smiled and scowled at the thought of Hanabusa Aidou again.
"UGH, it's like he INFESTED my head with his stupid face..."
"Well UNINFEST it," Zero snapped. "We have to get to our duties soon."
I chugged the milk till it emptied the bottle and I tossed it in the trashcan, hurrying after Zero and Yuki.
"And for your information, Yuki-chan... I DON'T LIKE AIDOU. Stupid bloodsucking idiot," I muttered the last part since there were still people around, and I didn't want them to find out. Yes... Cross Academy is infested with good-looking vampires, hurr-...
Did I just say good-looking vampires?
I'm going to kill Aidou...
I glared in the back of my head, but kept on a poker face when we arrived at the crime scene. Fangirls were all infested with vampires mites and we were there to keep them in line... not cured. Because getting cured from it... is impossible, unless you want to be drained of your blood by sunrise that is.
With outstreched arms, I held back with all my strength, a pack of wild-canine fangirls and dug the sole of my boots in the ground. They were strong, but I exercise before breakfast,s o i was set to go... until the gates open that is.
I rolled my eyes as the Night-class guys appeared and in the group I could see Aidou just sending air-kisses and smirking, or winking at the girls. Then he spotted me, I turned away and scowled.
"Hey, don't pu-"
They pushed... me... right into the Night-class students. Luckily, a pair of strong arms caught me from injuring anyone.
"You have to watch where you step, Xera...chan~."
My eyes widened in annoyance and surprised.
No... NO WAY.
I looked up to see a pair of electrical blue eyes staring down at me. His smirk replayed in my head as I gasped silently and pushed myself away from him.
"D-Don't touch me..." I muttered, scowling at him.
Aidou chuckled and waved to the fangirls behind me, making them wilder on purpose. I yelped and got back to my duties when Zero looked our way, glaring at me with his sharp eyes. With outstreched arms again I held them back.
I'm so going to kill him...
Once they passed, I was patted on the back by Yuki and just recieved another glare from Zero.
"How 'bout going to a party tonight?"
My head snapped up as I stared wide eyes at her.
"Party?" Zero's brow arched.
"Yeah, the Night-class students are having a party, and Kaname just invited us to go."
Zero scowled. "No, you're not going."
"C'mo, Zero! Just this once! And you can be there to watch over us!"
"Yeah, I agree with Zero, I don't think this is a good idea," I facepalmed. "I mean... what if you get jumped?"
"I can fight too, y'know."
Right... though when you fight, you hesitate and get distracted easily... What if your capturer was Kaname? You'd definitely get distracted.
"Pllleeaassse, Xera-chan? Just this once," Yuki looked at me with innocent eyes. I rolled mines and growled.
"Zero, deal with... this," I pointed at her. "I'm leaving."
"Yuki, for the last time n-"
Just when he was about to say 'no', he saw Yuki's puppy face and I sighed.
I'm going to be by the buffet table if you need me...
I got dressed in a loose black t-shirt and jean shorts that went an inch above my knees with a white tank top underneath and flats on. My hair was tied to the side loosely and I had my Arachnid bow transformed into my silver spider ring before we left.
When we reached the frontdoor of the Moon dorm, the first one to greet us was, of course, Hanabusa Aidou himself. I hid behind Zero, so Aidou seemed dissappointed at first, but the minute he sniffed the air, his frown turned into a smirk.
"Xera-chan did come!"
I facepalmed and stayed close to Zero as we entered the dorm. There were vampires dressed up everywhere... and I felt out of place. Though some vampires were in their uniforms though like Kain, Ruka, Rima, Shiki, Kaname, Ichijou and Aidou.
"W-Were we suppose to dress up too?" Yuki asked as Kaname appeared. Zero growled underneath his breath and I swore this love triangle/ square if you included Ruka, was intense.
"Not if you don't want to, but I knew you wouldn't so I stayed in this uniform to make you feel comfortable," Kaname smiled. "Our guests mustn't be bothered my anything tonight."
To Zero, it's a fact that you're here that makes him bothers, Kaname...
"I'm gonna head to the buffet table then," I said to Yuki. "Don't stray, Yuki-chan."
I made my way to the large table to only be confronted by Aidou himself. I backed away and frowned.
"What?" I asked.
"Do you want a Basil Faux-Jito?"
Wait... how does he know that's my favorite cocktail?
"How did you... know?" I frowned.
"I can smell it sometimes whenever you drink it," he smirked and handed out a cocktail glass with the drink in it. I took it and smiled a bit.
"Uh, thanks, Aidou-kun..."
"I like the ring of that," he smirked and took my arm intwined with his. "Tonight, I'll be the one to escort you around and dance with you. I'm going to make this night the best of your life."
I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Alright. But no tricks."
"Why would I need tricks to capture this pretty lady's heart?" Aidou winked at me and I felt my heart leaped.
Wait what? ... my heart?
I blinked as he dragged me to show me the other foods and I just started at him. My heart started racing for some odd reason and I felt my body heated up.
Aidou was smiling brightly and his electical eyes were sending sparks into me whenever he glanced at me.
He stopped in the middle of saying something unaudible and blinked.
"Are you alright?" he asked. "You're not feeling ill are you? Am I talking to much?"
"O-Oh, no... not at all. I'm just thinking."
"Thinking about what?" he smiled.
"Why do you want to know?" I frowned.
"I would like to know all my lady's thoughts tonight, because... I'm your partner, right?"
"Oh... it's just... hey, what does it mean when your heart starts leaping and beating really fast... and whenever you look at someone you just... feel all weird?"
"Hm?" Aidou blinked and put on his thinking face. "Well... I think that's called love, right?"
"L...Love?"
Then he frowned.
"What's wrong? ... Could it be... you love someone?"
I stopped breathing and felt the air wedged in my lungs. I blinked and my blood was racing.
"I... don't know."
"Who is it?"
"What?"
"Who is the guy you love?" Aidou asked, as his grip tightened around my arm.
"I don't know, I told you."
Suddenly, I noticed the pain throbbing on my arm now.
"A...Aidou, you're hurting my arm," I winced a bit.
"Oh, sorry..."
He completely let go like I had dirt on me and he glanced away.
"I... need to go talk to Kain for a bit, please... enjoy yourself."
I nodded as he hurried off and I felt the feeling loosened... but now there was a hollow-feeling in my body. It felt ... cold.
I shivered and went to getting something to eat.
Once I stuffed myself and drank three glasses of cocktail, I was on the couch, not able to move while everyone gathered around us since Ruka announced we'll be playing a game.
Everyone was asking and bombarding her with all kinds of questions until Aidou appeared and interrupted them.
"It's seven minutes in heaven," he announced a bit excited, but somehow...I saw sadness in his eyes.
It'd been two hours since he left and I was left alone to talk to Rima and Shiki the entire time and sometimes with Ichijou or Zero. The rules for the game was to have at least ONE KISS and if you didn't do that, you'd have to take your turn untill you do. And since there were all vampires here, besides me and all, she said not to kill your partner when you get her/him or drink them dry.
"Xera-chan! Since you're the first human here, how 'bout you go first?" Rima exclaimed with a wild smile. I facepalmed a bit.
"U-Um... n-no thanks, I mean I'm just-"
"C'mon!"
She tossed me a box with a hand-sided hole in the middle and told me to get something from it. I sweatdropped and placed my hand in, feeling around for something. Suddenly, I felt something metallic and I pulled it out to see that it was a... necklace.
But not just a necklace... my eyes widened as I recognized it...
The silver symbol of a half moon and the letters
B. e. a. u. t. i. f. u. l. L. o. v. e. on it.
In the moon was an encraving that said 'Raikou', which was my last name. It was my mother's necklace. I had lost it when I walked the edge of the lake and I didn't notice it fell in when I woke up the next day. I looked all over for it, but I never found it.
"Who put in this pretty necklace with the words 'beautiful love' on it?" Rima asked out loud.
I saw the paleness on Aidou's face as he stared at me...
"Aidou, isn't that you?" Kain asked, nudging his cousin on the arm.
"No, I'm not doing this," he scowled. "I'm not-"
"You were phyched to do this," Ruka frowned. "Why're you backing out now? And when it's Xera-chan?"
"Wait-"
"Rules are rules," Rima smiled and had Kain tossed his cousin into the closet. I was escorted into the dark closet untill I knew what happened, I turned around to see the door closed and locked.
"Hold on!" I scowled. "Dammit..."
Wait... so the person who had the necklace... was ... Aidou?
"Aidou...k-kun?" I asked, feeling around for him. Suddenly, I felt something breathing, warm... and definitely moving. I yelped and backed away slightly. "A...Aidou-kun?"
"Do you... hate me, Xera-chan?" I heard him say.
Hate...him?
Do I?
I couldn't say anything...
"Xera-chan?"
"I... want to hate you... but I can't."
"What?"
"I mean... you annoy me and stuff... but without you it feels ... empty. If I go on a day without seeing you or hearing your voice... it'd feel... weird..."
What am I saying? I'm suppose to say 'yes, I hate you', not... that...
"I don't... hate you," I whispered automatically.
"Xera-chan, where are you?"
I could feel him feeling around, but I didn't want him to touch me... because I was crying. No... I didn't know why... but it just came . I was crying ... maybe because I felt something else than hating him. But what?
Suddenly, I felt Aidou's hand on me.
"Xera...chan? What's wrong?"
"I-It's... nothing."
"You're lying... I can smell your tears, Xera-chan."
Like he could see through the darkness, his hand found my face and he wiped the tears away.
"See? Now, tell me why you're crying... "
I sniffed and shrugged.
"I-I don't know... it's just... it came out suddenly... and I don't know why..."
My heart felt like getting crushed as I sat there with Aidou.
"Don't cry anymore... it's hard to know that you're hurt," he spoke and suddenly... I felt something pressing up against my lips.
My eyes widened and I gasped in the back of my head.
He's... kissing me.
Soon, I found myself kissing back. My hand touched his as they were still on my cheeks and he knew to kiss even deeper. I let him parted my lips and he clasped them over mines. It was like my breath was getting sucked away as I felt the warmth and heat mixed together at the same time.
Just when he had his hand at the edge of my shirt, the door opened and light beamed into the tiny closet.
Aidou stopped kissing me and glared at Rima who was smiling. Everyone was gasping and cheering while Aidou was pissed that our time was over. He took my hand and helped me out of the closet. His arm was wrapped around my waist as we sat together on the couch and I watched the next girl go.
"Xera-chan," Aidou whispered in my ear, which make me shiver in my skin.
"What?" I glanced back slightly.
"I love you."
My eyes widened again and he took the opportunity to place a small peck on my lips, smirking once he pulled away.
How did I reply? Well ... I guess that explains the feelings I felt tonight.
I smiled.
"I'm not sure of what... I feel right now... but I'll say it to you," I chuckled.
"I'll take that as you also love me," Aidou smirked and kissed the top of my head.
"Man, I hate the fact that I love ... you," I muttered the last few parts and turned around all embarrassed and red-faced.
