Kain still felt bad, weeks after the incident. It could have had something to do with the fact that Ruka had refused to attend any classes, or basically even leave the dorm at all. She drifted around, her once beautiful eyes empty. She seemed to be locked up in her own mind, and didn't reply to anyone's questions. She was an empty shell.
Kain knew what he had said to Aidou."I'll wait for however long she needs to get over it. Then I will be here still." But this was too much. He had no idea she would react this drastically! He needed to help her.
As he thought this, he noticed her ahead of him. She turned into an empty corridor. "Perfect," he muttered. He followed her.
Ruka noticed him walking behind her. She broke her gloomy thoughts as she noticed the look in his eyes. A strange - gleam? How could he be happy at a time like this? She turned and glared, then spoke for the first time in weeks. "What, Akatsuki? Why are you following me?" She said. "I want to talk to you," he replied with a smile. This only made her glare more strongly. "About what?"
"You."
"Me? Why me? I'm fine. I don't need anything," she lied.
Kain knew that she was lieing, and his vampiric anger finally awoke. How could she delude herself like this? "No, you're not! Who are you fooling! It's time to get over it! He didn't choose you! He chose her!" He yelled.
Something inside her shattered, and she returned this with as much anger- and sadness. "If I don't have him, what do I live for? What do i have without him?" She cried.
"Me! You can have me! Love me! Love me like i've loved you since we met! Love me like I always will love you, for the rest of my existence!" He shouted, and with a final, piercing glance, left in the most convienent method- jumping out the nearest window and running into the forest. Ruka watched him leave, and turned from the window. It almost looked like there were tears on her cheeks.
