Chapter 4
Kain sped down the road at full speed, his foot pressing the accelerator right down to the floor, he was so full of rage that nothing could slow him down, he was rapidly making up the distance between him and Ruka, he could sense her not too far away it would take a day to get there maybe less if he hurried up. He hoped Ruka was ok, he hated that bastard Kaname and he would not even hesitate to kill him if he had done anything to hurt Ruka.
Meanwhile Ruka was sitting uncomfortably in a long, elegant dress that flowed off her body in silky waves, her hair was pulled lazily off her face and she was sitting on the cold, lonely bench in the moonlight. Kaname was inside with the ancestors and she refused to be anywhere near him- he disgusted her and she would not be able to hold her anger in when she was around him and she really didn't fancy getting herself killed just through spite. All the women were wearing stupid, girly flowing dresses and the men were wearing tuxedos and serious expressions. A few happy couples were dancing slowly, their bodies entwined- her heart ached to be with Kain, she hoped he was ok and that he wouldn't come looking for her, she didn't want him to get hurt- she couldn't live with herself if he got hurt. As Ruka was basking in the pale moonlight a tall man with flaming orange hair walked over to her, he was wearing a black tux that was lined with red silk, he was wearing a black masquerade mask that was lined with red lace and Ruka couldn't see what his face was like- except his eyes, they were a bright emerald green and were strangely familiar to her. Kain gasped when he saw her, her face was heavily bruised, here eyes were black and swollen and a large cut dominated her right cheek, her lip was split and her whole body was covered in bruises that bastard he thought as he made his way over to her, his body shaking with anger . They were filled kindness and tenderness, and they shone brightly and beautifully, the man walked over to her and flashed her a charming smile and she felt her heart flutter unexpectedly "What's a girl as beautiful as you doing in a place like this" he asked as he sat down next to her on the bench, he smelled minty with a hint of vanilla, Ruka loved it! "Trust me, I'm wouldn't be here if I had the choice" she scoffed to herself as she sipped some more champagne from the designer glass flute, the man frowned "well now, who is this awful offender who is keeping such a beautiful woman caged up like a bird?" she smiled softly, this man reminded her of Kain, he would always call her his little bird "Kaname Kuran" the man scowled again and moved closer to her "keep calm and act natural" he whispered into her ear, his lips almost kissing the top of her ear "what?" she asked, her brow furrowed in confusion, she shuffled away from him, she was feeling slightly uncomfortable and scared. His arm grabbed her arm firmly- but not enough to hurt her "follow me, it's important" he dragged her away from the bench and along the path away from the large mansion that the party was being held at, he led her into a small clearing where he let her arm go when he was sure she wasn't going to run . "What the hell do you want with me ?" she spat at him, her eyes glowing with anger "shh, keep your voice down Ruka" he looked at her pleadingly "how do you know my name" she asked, cowering away from him in fear, anger still dominant in her eyes the man removed his mask slowly "it's me" he smiled as her face lit up and was washed over with surprise and happiness, her swollen eyes welled up and her cracked lip burst open and bled as she grinned widely, she threw herself into his waiting arms and placed her head firmly into his chest while he stroked her hair lovingly "Kain" she whispered.
