A/N: I'm sorry about the wait and the shortness of the chapter. But I am not getting any ideas at all of how to continue with this story. Think of it as a miracle I even updated. I was just about to put this story on Hiatus, but thought it would be such a waste. This chapter is short, mainly because I wanted to put anything up, for the sake of it. Hopefully, the next chapter will be nice and very long. But I'm having huge writer's block whenever it comes to this story. I've been focusing mainly on my other stories, Intrigue - Kaname/Yuuki & Fun Filled Summer - All types of pairings.

Until next time, please read and review,

A soft yawn escaped Rima's mouth as the last rays of sunlight poured in through the windows. The curtains had just now been pulled back by Ruka, and the windows opened to let in a small breeze. Her strawberry pink hair fell onto her shoulders untidily as she sat up, her eye lids still heavy from sleep. She pushed off the lacy covers and placed her feet on the cold floor, standing up and streching, letting another yawn escape her mouth.

"Well, well," Ruka started looking up from her vanity. "Look who's finally awake." She said, brushing her hair again.

"I don't know you get up so early, seems like too much work." Rima said, whilst Ruka giggled. Rima huffed, wiggling her toes.

Rima padded over to the bathroom, grabbing her uniform and ribbon, and closed the door. She walked over to the sink and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was all over the place and her bangs swept to the side. She stuck her tongue out at her reflection and made a face. She stretched again, before taking of her pj's slowly, trying not fall while doing. Apparently, she was still way too sleepy.

She stepped into the shower with a sigh of relief and twisted the jet up to full strength, letting the water batter her stiff shoulders. She stuck her head under the shower and ran her fingers through her hair, lifting it up so the water could get to her scalp. She shampooed her hair carefully, massaging every place on her head.

Warm droplets trickled soothingly through the roots of her hair and down her neck, filling the bathroom with steam. She gave another sigh, of weariness and deep contentment, leaning against the shower wall and turning her face up to the spray, her eyes closed.

This friday, she was going on a date with Shiki. No doubt about it, it was most definitely a date. She was kind of looking forward to it too, she wanted it to come sooner so she could get hear anxiety done and over with, instead of having to worry about why.

After a few minutes, she turned the shower off and grabbed a white fluffy towel off one of the racks, quickly drying herself. She went to the mirror again, passing her hand on it to clear some steam off it, grabbing her hair brush and passing it gently throughout her hair, careful not to pull any out. She set the brush back down, and dropped the towel, getting dressed in her uniform. She kept the white and black lined jacket off, opting to put it on before they headed out.

She grabbed her ribbons, and swiftly put her hair up in her trademark pigtails, making sure they were both levelled. She opened the door and walked out, jacket in hand, placing it on one of the hangers above her boots. She had 15 minutes to spare, while the maids brought them breakfast. After she was done eating, she flopped down on her bed and turned her head to face Ruka.

"How long until we head out?" She asked. Ruka looked up from the book she had just opened.

"Hm? Just a few minutes. Better put on your jacket and boots so we can go downstairs soon." Ruka responded. Rima nodded, blowing a strand of her bangs away from her nose.

She got up, and quickly put on her remaining clothes, grabbed her books, and headed towards the door.

"I'm going to get Shiki first, we'll meet you downstairs, alright?" She said, opening the door.

"Yeah, whatever. You two love birds go have fun." Rima paused outside, and sent Ruka a look, to which se just smiled back. She closed the door and strolled down the now-darkening hallways, barely heeding the other vampires.

She got to Shiki's room, and knocked twice. A muted "Hm" came from inside, so she took that as 'Enter' and waltzed right in.

...Only to find him still half buried in a nest of sheets and pillows. Rima rolled her eyes at him, and walked over to the windows, and pulled the curtains open. The sunset was almost over now, only a few streaks of orange lining the sky, and the time of twilight switching completely over into dusk was bound to happen soon.

L'heure bleue, as they say in France. Meaning 'Blue hour', she kind of knew why now. There were brue streaks high in the sky, clashing beautifally with the disappearing orange blobs. 'How romantic...' Rima thought. Looking at the sky a bit longer before turning her head back to Shiki's form, under the sheets.

She took three long strides before plopping down on the bed, and ripped the sheets off him.

"Wake up." She said, shaking his shoulder until his eyes drifted open.

"Nngh...What time is it?" He asked, closing his eyes again.

"6 minutes until we head out, actually." Rima said, glancing at the clock in his room.

Suddenly, he got up from the bed and quickyl zipped past her, and ran into the bathroom. She heard a quiet 'Thud' probably meaning he had bumped into something while rushing, but then heard the shower running. She glanced at the clock again. 4 minutes until they were supposed to meet downstairs and head out...

She heard the shower stop, before the sink was turned on a few seconds after. After one more minute, the door opened to reveal Shiki clad in his uniform, tieing his necktie, or atleast trying to. She padded over to him, slapping his hand away before proparly tieing the tie, and went to sit down on a chair.

"Are you ready." Rima asked, tilting her head to the side. He sent her a smile. "Are you?"

"Of course. I'm always ready before you are." She scoffed.

"Hm. Maybe in some things." He said looking around for his books. She stifled a laugh.

"What, like sleeping? Don't worry, I know you're always ready for that." Rima said smiling. He finally found his books, and looked back at her.

"Ready if you are," He said, nodding towards the door.

Rima stood up walked to the door, pausing on the doorknob, when he put his chin on the curve of her neck.

"Do you still want to go out with me on friday?" Shiki murmured, inhaling her scent. Rima blinked in surprise.

"Y-yeah, of course."
