AN: sorry its taken me so long to update, my internet was NOT working! Grr! Sorry!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Hanabusa POV

I waited in the shadows as a long, white limo pulled up.

A wide shouldered man with a buzz cut black hair in a white suit was helped out of the car, followed by a gorgeous girl (almost better looking than Rima and Ruka).

She had past her hips blue-black hair with ice blue eyes. The girl had the usual uniform on, well top wise, her skirt was skin tight and hit her mid-thigh and her shoes! Oh My Freakin' God! White, 9 inch heels graced her feet. (I have to have them for my shoe collection!)

The driver moved to open the boot as another girl got out, This girl had shoulder length dark brown hair, deep brown eyes (the type you could tell their emotions in) except this girls eyes were closed off. She had a tattoo, like Zero Kiryu's on his neck, on her right cheek but on her left cheek there was fading red mark like she had been slapped recently. What was with that?

The girl was wearing a normal uniform.

OH the Chairman is introducing me to the first girl, "This strapping young man will be your guide, Miss Sin." ooohhh its Miss Sin is it?

The first girl looked at me with a horrified look on her face and turned to her father and hissed "It's a Vampire! I'm to be guided by a Vampire!" her face changed again as she turned to study me " I suppose at least he's cute." she murmured, half to herself half to us.

All through this no one paid any attention to the second girl, who had a face that looked like angels had carved it.

Wait a second! Cute? I am many things but cute is NOT one! But I have to be polite.

"Hello my name is Hanabusa Aido, you two must be the Sin Sisters! It is my great pleasure to meet you and an even greater honour to be able to guide you both." I never knew I could spout so many lies at once!

"Actually you shall be only guiding me," the first girl explained "My sister will stay by my side at all times though." Her father gave her a look and she hurriedly said "Where are my manners? My name is Ivy and my sister's name is Yuki." Yuki's face was expressionless all through this and she did not even try to make a sound.

"Ivy?" I asked "like the plant?"

"Yes," she said sweetly "Where shall we be resting?"

"Uh, you'll be sleeping in the old teacher dorms. It's completely empty."

"Take me there." she demanded.

I shrugged and led her to her dorms, with Yuki bringing the bags behind us.

Ruka POV

"There they are." murmured Akatsuki in my ear, making me jump.

"Sorry, What?" gosh his face was so close... FOCUS RUKA! He is talking to You.

"I said here the Sin Sisters come, looks like Hanabusa is telling them the rules." Akatsuki was always so patient with me.

"Do you really think he will handle them ok?" this had been bugging me all morning, that and if Hanabusa told anyone that I had been staring at Akatsuki's naked, oh-so toned, soft skinned back I'd be a laughing stock!

"Sure Hanabusa will be fine," Akatsuki's face looked closed off "I'll meet the Sins later, there's something I've got to go do. See you round, Rukes." Akatsuki hadn't called me Rukes since we were kids, in fact I still remember the day he gave me that name.

"Bye, Kat " I whispered. I wonder where he's going... probably to see some hot Chick. Sigh. He probably doesn't even remember that Kat was his nickname.

Akatsuki's POV

What is going on between Ruka and Hanabusa? Why is she so concerned about him? I know they have been going off alone together a lot but Aido said they were just friends!

And then there's those looks she has been giving me lately...

And why oh why did I call her Rukes and she called me Kat? She and I stopped calling each other those names years ago, she's probably forgotten the day I gave her that name...

Flashback

They were 13. Ruka had been given an entire new outfit by her Aunt, It was a lovely sky blue dress that came to her knees with spaghetti straps.

It was midnight, they both had bare feet and Ruka was running ahead of him, laughing, when 30 Level E's came out of nowhere, surrounding them.

"Akatsuki!" screamed Ruka, as three level E's grabbed her. There was a vicious intent in their eyes.

"Such a pretty thing." one growled, stroking her waist.

"And she smells SO nice." smiled another, nuzzling her neck.

"Nice is overrated." snarled Ruka, struggling hard.

The third one holding Ruka turned to her and smirked "But nice is still Yummy and so much FUN!"

"Don't touch her!" Akatsuki snarled, somehow tearing his attackers off him.

He called Fire to him and incinerated them all.

Ruka collapsed to the ground sobbing.

"RUKA!" Akatsuki rushed to her side and pulled her into his lap, stroking her hair and saying softly "Ruka its ok, come on Rukes let me see you're face." When she didn't, he started to panic "Rukes are you alright? Say something please! Rukes!"

Ruka drew a shallow breath and whispered "Something." a pause "Why did you call me that name, Rukes? I like it, Kat."

Then they started to laugh.

They were found asleep on the path curled up in each other's arms, surrounded by smouldering ashes two hours later.

End Flashback

Akatsuki lent against a tree. He missed how close they used to be. He missed those funny inside jokes they had, But most of all he Missed having Ruka by his side, having her with him. His heart Ached for those times to come again.
