Chapter 3. Fire Dance

Apparently, Aido decide to stay the night although Kain went back. I know that Aido had stayed the night since I saw him come into the living room, where I was, looking sleepy around 2:00 in the afternoon. He walked into the room, rubbing his eyes, then came to sit next to me. I turned down the TV show I was watching.

"You know, if you are still tired, then you should just go back to bed." I said but he just mumbled a, am fine. I didn't really believe him. I could see that he was still tired. He kept yawning and his eyes kept opening and closing.

"Aido, just go back t..." I couldn't finish, since Aido then leaned on my shoulder, sleeping. As Aido took the deep breaths people do when they sleep, I just looked down at him and smiled.

I had never seen Aido sleep before so I couldn't stop myself blushing over how cute he looked sleeping. I then start to play with the little bits of hair that went over his eyes. He mumbled in his sleep a little and shifted a little, rubbing against me. I sighed a little as I looked at Aido. For a minute, I forgot that he was a vampire, since right now he just looked like a boy that happened to be leaning and sleeping on my shoulder.

I then got up, gentle holding Aido so he wouldn't fall and wake up. I then gentle put his head on a couch pillow then lift his legs onto the couch so he would be lying down and more comfortable. I then turned off the TV and walk out of the room to let Aido sleep. In a couple more hours, at 5:30, Aido walked into the kitchen, where I was eating supper. He didn't look as sleepy like he did at two, but he was still rubbing his eyes.

"OK, I'm guessing you are up for good tonight. Are you hungry?" I asked, getting up to make something for him if he wanted.

"Hia, I am." He said and walked up to me. Before I could ask what he wanted, he grabbed one of my hands and put two of my fingers in his mouth to nibble them. I'm assuming he bit through the skin, since I then felt a light sucking. Aido was smiling lightly as he did this, with his eyes closed.

"Aido, stop it." I said and yanked my hand away from him. I saw that Aido had a pout on his face. What was it with him and pouting?

"But, Ash-San, you got such good tasting blood. I can't help myself but to try it ever then and now." His voice was just as pouty as his look. His comment made my stomach not.

"Aido, I don't think that is something you should say. I'm a witch, but I'm still human, and you telling me that I have good tasting blood, makes me feel a little sick. Oh and another thing, when I asked if you were hungry, I didn't mean you could snack on me." I half yelled the last part. Aido sighed and slightly looked away.

I had used my magic to heal the little pin prick bite marks that were on my two fingers, one mark for each finger. I then went out the front door and I was in Japan again. Aido came out after me and closed the door. Instead of taking the normal walk with Aido, I wanted to have a little fun, my kind of fun. I climbed the nearest tree and then started to jump and flip from branch to branch and from tree to tree.

"Hey, is that a very safe thing to do?" Aido asked when I flipped in the air and caught a branch.

"What might not be safe?" Another voice asked before I could answer. I sat in the tree in was in and looked down to see who it was. Kain.

"This." I said and as Kain looked at me I jumped to another tree and then landed on my feet on the ground.

"If you keep doing that you are going to end up getting hurt." Kain said and I shook my head.

"It's OK, I've done it before and never got hurt." I said with a 'I don't really care' shrug. I then got a little bored and took out a lighter out of my pocket, which I had put in my pocket earlier. I lit the lighter and started to play with the flame until Kain grabbed my wrist, stopping me.

"Why are you purposely trying to burn yourself. I didn't make you out as the kind of girl that did this sort of thing." He asked and the lighter flame went out. I was a little confused.

"Huh?" I asked. 'OH, that's right, they don't know.' I thought to myself but lipped the word Oh. "Don't worry, I wasn't trying to burn myself, not that I can, aways." I said and took my hand back from Kain. Both boys looked at me confused. "Here I'll show you." I said as I relight the lighter. I then touched the flame and my hand caught on fire. The fire was touching my skin but it wasn't burning. Both Aido and Kain went wide eyed.

"How are you doing that?" Kain asked me, looking a little more shocked then Aido was.

"I just have control over fire, alone with water. I've told you before that I had control over elements, remember?" I and I saw them both slowly nod as they remembered. I then touch the hand that was lit on fire to my other hand so it was also caught on fire. I then made the fire spread up my arms then waved them, doing a kind of dance with them. I had sort of forgot that the other two were there until I heard one of them speak.

"Show off." Aido whispered under his breath but I still heard him. I made the fire die out then put the lighter back into by pocket. Then Kain showed me why he looked so surprised. My own eyes went wide as I saw him make a fire ball. I had found that really cool. Then Kain walked away to leave me and Aido alone.

Aido then bugged me until I showed him my power with water. After I showed him, I got tired. I had used too much energy with doing, I mean showing, off my powers. Before I could leave to go back home Aido hugged me and asked me if he could stay the night again. Since tomorrow would be a Sunday, I said fine, but he had to keep out of my room. Before I walked into my room, he said good night to me with a sparkling smile. I said good night back, then went back to bed.
