Vaeda's POV
I had just come back from prefect duty which had been extremely stressful, as usual. And now I was getting ready for the dance that I don't even have an escort to; Ichijo had asked me but if my dad saw me with a vampire I'd be dead. I browsed my closet for a decent dress, which there was one. It was a boring light blue that was short in the front and long in the back. Not impressive but- I stopped when I noticed that there was a note on the table. I picked it up and opened it:
Dear Vaeda,
My delightful daughter I have been asked for your hand in marriage. The boy was my pupil and is rising to become important to the vampire hunting association. His name is Ryota Yutaka, you've probably heard the rumors about his parents being vampires and turning on him. I know you knew this day would come and I wasn't expecting it to come this soon. I have arranged for him to come to meet you at the Valentines dance.
Sincerely,
Your Father,
Touga Yagari
I closed the letter and leaned myself against the table, my face to my palm. Despite the fact that I knew Ichijou and I wouldn't work out, I still had my hopes set high. I choked back my sobs and tilted my head back against the wall. I didn't think I would be marrying a guy this soon; I'm only 16 for Christ sake. I sat myself up and got ready. If I give this guy a chance maybe I could learn to love him. I thought as I put the light blue powder on my eyes.
This was going to be a long night.

I walked through the ball room, scouring the room for my father and the mysterious boy named Ryota. I finally located them on the balcony; my father leaning against the door as he always did, with his head down. The man was to his right, balancing on the railing.
"Ryota Yutaka, meet my daughter Vaeda Yagari. And vise versa." My father said relieving from his position and moving toward the young man; who was more than I had expected. Ryota was handsome, his hair was a platinum blond with bright green eyes like jades. Strangely, he reminded me of Ichijou; who shouldn't be on my mind at the moment.
"Pleasure to meet your acquaintance." He said bowing, in his charcoal black suit.
"I'm pleased to meet you as well."
I walked closer so I could face toward the ballroom without looking suspicious. I was slick like a snake while I eyed through the room, probing to get a glimpse of the ever so charming Ichijou. My eying was interrupted by the silent boy named Zero handing me a manila letter with a light purple ribbon.
"Blah blah blah, when blah give blah Ameratsu blah blah blah." He added.
I chose not to reply because I hadn't been listening to a word he had said, Instead I nodded. Zero just walked away after speaking to Touga for a second. This was my chance, my escape from this 'meeting'.
"Sorry dad I really need to take this to Ameratsu, its extremely important." I bowed before leaving.
I was going to have some heavy consequences later but I decided that was fine by me.

"Hey, Ama-Sensei"
"You look ravishing Vaeda." Sensei said while looking me over.
"Hey that silver haired guy told me to give this to you." I handed her the note and walked off.
I was going to blow this pop stand, and go to the café in town. Things didn't go as well as I planned. On my way out I ran into Ichijou.
"Where ya going?" He smiled
"Just to the café in town. Why?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to dance with me."
I blushed. " I wish I could."
"Then why don't I go with you. It would be irresponsible for me to let you go by yourself."
"Uh...alright." by now my face was so red that I couldn't hide it.
He took my hand, and we left. If only we had left permanently than we could be more at ease, but I knew better.

"Ichijou I'm glad you came with me, becaus-"
he cut me off, "Because you're a vampire hunter and we just don't mix. Am I right?"
"That too, but I wanted to hang with you but my father was there and..." he cut me off again, but for a different reason. His gentle lips were pressed against mine, we backed alongside the wall of the café. Shortly he released the sweet kisses, "I really like you, and I've never felt that way before." he said before I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him softly. Unexpectedly Ichijou pulled away, and silenced me. He pointed to the alley,when without warning a level E sped out. Reaching his claws for me; Swiftly I pulled my chisakatana from beneath my skirt and slashed it's hand off at the wrist. I was pulled away when Ichijou unsheathed his katana. At the sight of Ichijou the level E burst out into laughter. It didn't phase Ichijou, as dispersed into air then returned behind the level E. He plunged the sword into the stomach of the disgusting beast.
"Aren't you glad I came?" Ichijou laughed as he re-sheathed the bloody sword.
"Don't get cocky, I could've handled that myself."
"Sure you could have." he replied sarcastically.

Okazzz, so look Chisakatana is a short katana. And this is just a little blip about Vaeda and yeah.
