Cousins Fight
Karima walked out of the room Kain shared with Aido. Aido saw them and started stuttering. Karima waited for the nervous tick in his eyebrow to end before she gave him a hug. Kain smirked, but inside he felt a small twinge of jealousy. Aido blushed and hugged her back.
"Do you have split personality disorder, Kat?" he asked. Kain pretended to cough to cover a snicker. Karima ducked her head into his shoulder, pressing her face against his neck. Aido turned pink.
"N-no. I'm bipolar. I'm sorry about yesterday," she said sweetly. She started giving him butterfly kisses along his neck. Aido sighed and ran his hands down her sides.
"I forgive you. Ahhh, that's nice," he murmured. Kain's eyes flashed angrily. A small flame appeared on the edge of his door. Karima noticed and a splash of water put the flame out. Her control of the water wavered when Aido kissed her along her jaw line. Kain's anger grew as Aido kissed down her throat and back up to press gently against her smooth lips. Kain flicked a spark into Aido's silky blonde hair. It lit up and started burning his hair. Aido shrieked and started hitting his own head.
"Akatsuki! What the hell are you doing?" he yelled. Karima's eyes widened. She put a slender hand on his chest.
"Kain! Kain look at me! Hon, please don't do this," Karima said worriedly. Kain's eyes had a red glimmer to them. Karima pressed her hands to his cheeks. She pulled his eyes to hers.
"Don't you ever touch her again, Hanabusa," he said angrily. Aido raised an eyebrow.
"Kain! Kain, honey, please. Don't worry about it. I'm just playing," Karima said. Kain growled once at his cousin before slinging an arm around Karima. He kissed the top of her head. Aido turned pink with anger. A trail of ice followed them and wound its way around her ankle.
"Let her go, Akatsuki. She's mine," Aido said. Kain let go of Karima, kissed her cheek, and turned around to melt the ice around her leg. Aido's eyes turned bright red. Kain's fire covered a nearby area. Ice surrounded Aido. Karima stepped between the boys.
"Boys, boys! Come on! Listen, Aido, I'm into Kain-kun. I'm just not into you. Sorry," Karima said. Aido sat there for a minute. His ice melted. Karima saw tears in the corner of his yes at the same time as Kain.
"Oh, shit. Get ready for the water works!" Kain muttered. Aido started bawling in a way that only anime characters can. Karima sighed and used her power to pull his tears away. He tried to keep crying but she pulled the water clear off his eyes.
"L-l-l-let me c-c-c-cry!" he pouted. Karima rolled her eyes and let the water she had pulled away travel to her garden in the veranda. Aido pouted for a moment longer before, half falling into Karima and taking both her hands in his. He kissed her hands, her palms and her wrists.
"Please, Kat. Please don't leave me. I can't stand it," he pled. Karima wrenched her hands free and turned away. Kain felt a certain amount of pity for his young, exuberant cousin as he gave a small animal wail of bitter sorrow. The young noble vampire fled, tears blinding him as he ran at an inhumane speed. He tripped though a yards away from the couple. He fell and instead of getting up, he curled up into a ball and sobbed violently. Karima pressed a hand to her lips, feeling like a large ugly thing to do what she had done, resulting in a sweet, child-like person crying in fetal position. Kain hugged her tightly.
"There was nothing you could do. He'll be fine. Please don't cry over him," he whispered gently. Karima started to nod and was half turned back to Kain, when Aido gave a loud howl of despair. Tears falling from her eyes, she broke free of Kain and rushed to Aido's side. His eyes were red and puffy, from his violent sobs, and she could tell that he would have a headache when he was finished. She pulled him to her and held him, rocking slightly until his shudders went down. He looked up at her. Kain frowned slightly but didn't interfere, understanding that Karima-while mischevious-didn't like to see people hurt. She held Aido's cheeks and made him look into her eyes.
"Aido, listen, and don't freak. I love you, but like a brother. Your cousin is really nice. I really like him...maybe even love him. I promise, I'll hang with you, and maybe even check out my options, but please don't get your hopes up. And please don't cry. I hate to see people cry," she said gently. Aido nodded and Karima helped him get up. She kissed his cheek, then turned and hugged Kain.
"All set, uh, Kat?" Kain asked, almost saying her real name.
"Yeah, let's go, Kain-kun," Karima replied. They left with Aido returning to his and Kain's room to stare at straight ahead for hours. Rima and Senri passed by giving Aido simpathetic look. Yuki started to pass by on her way to her brother, Kaname's room. She glanced back and frowned slightly.
"A-aido senpai? What's wrong?" she asked. Aido just shook his head and continued staring at nothing. Yuki frowned again, patted his head, and gave him a hug. Aido shook his head, a low moaning sound escaping his lips. Yuki hugged him tighter, trying to help him get rid of his pain. After a few more seconds, Aido broke and started bawling, hugging Yuki around the wasit and crying against her stomach. Yuki blushed, but petted his hair, trying to calm him. Instead of going to visit her brother, Yuki spent the rest of her afternoon petting Aido and letting him cry on her fresh white Night Class skirt. Meanwhile Karima spent her time in her sister's room arms around Kain, his lips moving down her throat, until he finally bit her. She gasped and leaned into him, tilting her head back to give him better access. When Katani retuned that night she saw the blood stain and groaned.
"Awwww. Karima! Why'd you have to do that on my bed?" she complained. Karima didn't hear her. She was to busy kissing Kain on her 'temporary' bed. They all knew she was going to stay, for Kain at least.
