A/n: Sorry it took so long to update but I was waiting until I got the Official Vampire Knight Fanbook to help me with this story since I want to try to make it as acurate(Probably spelt wrong) as possible and when I did get it, my account wouldn't let me upload the chapter so sorry!

Anyway onto the Shima!


Chapter 6, Warm


'This is really annoying' Shiki thought, squinting his eyes from the sun light. He was standing in the shade of a tree with Rima while the photographer set up his equipment. He was wearing shorts with a white and green stripped t-shirt. Beside him was Rima, who was wearing a blue skirt and white t-shirt. She, too, had an annoyed look on her face.

It was finally sunny enough for the shoot and though the and photographer was happy, Rima and Shiki weren't. Because they were vampires the sunlight bothered their eyes a lot and they got sunburn easily.

"Alright, you two come here, the lighting is just perfect," the photographer instructed them.

"I thought we were gonna do this in the shade," Rima said, moving back slightly.

"It's just going to be one photo then we'll do the next one on the swing you two are next to then of you two sleeping."

Rima didn't say anything. Shiki glanced at her, seeing the uncomfortable look on her face.

"It'll only be for a few minutes," he said..

"Yeah," She mumbled.

Taking her hand, Shiki lead her over where the Camera was.


"You idiot! I told you specifically, no shots in the sun! Rima's skin is very sensitive to sunlight! Shiki's too!"

"I-I'm sorry Cho-San, it was only supposed to be fifteen minutes-"

"And yet it ended up being Forty-Five! Now both her and Shiki-Kun are missing!" Cho shrieked. She didn't know if she was more angry than worried or more worried than angry.

"I didn't-"

"We'll talk about this later, right now we need to find them."

He looked around, trying to spot a familiar head of unusual blonde hair but he couldn't find her. He kept to the shade of the trees, suspecting that she'd be there or some dark area to hide from the sun.

'Where is she?' Shiki thought. The longer they had spent in the sun the more he noticed Rima's skin going from pale to light pink and slowly darker before she ran away, but not before he saw the pain fill her eyes. He chased after her but somehow lost her.

He winced as a branch brushed his arm. He also had some sunburn on his arms, though it was not as bad as Rima's.

He paused as a breeze came. It was faint, but he was sure…he was sure it was her scent. The scent of jasmine.


'Why…why did I agree to this? I know how sunlight hurts me, why did I think this time would be different?' Rima thought. Luckily, this area had a lot of pine trees to keep her hidden. She was sitting in the shade of the trees, moving as little as possible. As children, w Vampire's skin was very sensitive to light. As they got older they became more tolerant to it, being able to be in it longer though it still irritated it. Also, they could drink blood to help. Last time Rima had gotten sunburn she was four, her fangs hadn't even come in yet. It took a long time for her to heal, so her father requested to her manager that there'd be no shots in direct sunlight if they were to ever do shoots outside.

She shook her head, wanting to clear it from the memories of last time. Her hair, which had fallen out of it's pigtails as she ran, flying around her. She stopped right away, the movement painful.

"Shiki," She mumbled. She didn't want to be alone right now. Not while she was in pain like this.

"There you are," She looked up, seeing familiar clear blue eyes full of worry.

"Shiki!" Rima got up, running to and wrapping her arms around him. Then the pain from the burns came so she had to let go right away.

"Your skin is red," Shiki said, frowning, his brow creasing with worry. "It looks bad."

"It's not that bad," Rima mumbled, not looking him.

"Rima, your bad at lying…like me."

"It only hurts a little, it'll be better in a few minutes." Shiki stepped back, taking in her burns. They were healing but at a slow rate. They had to get back to where their manager, who he suspected was starting to worry by now, was soon but he wanted to make sure Rima was okay first. But that would only happen if she had blood and he didn't think she'd like the idea so…

"Kiss me," the words were out of his mouth before he knew what he was saying.

Rima looked at him, eye wide.

"Wh-What?" she stammered, a small blush on her cheeks.

"You'll heal faster if you take some of my energy," he shrugged, as though what he was saying was the simplest thing in the world, and in a way it was. Vampire children started getting their fangs in when they reached about eight or nine, and fully came in around ten or eleven. His and Rima's were already coming in but they could still take energy from a person if they wanted to.

"I…I don't know," Rima looked away, embarrassed. Shiki had to admit, she looked cute. They stood there for almost a minute when Rima finally sighed. Placing her left hand on Shiki's shoulder, she stood on her Tipp toes, and pressed her lips against his cheek.

A warm feeling filled her as her lips lingered. It spread through her body down to her toes.


"So, how'd the shoot go?" Ichijo asked. He came to pick Shiki and Rima up since they were going to be going to his mansion.

"We got sunburn," Shiki yawned. He was sitting across from Ichijo with Rima. When they returned to where their manager was, Cho almost cried with relief and dismay when she saw that they were safe, and Shiki's sunburn. She ended up firing the photographer and said she would be looking for a new one.

Ichijo frowned. "That's not good. Are you both okay?"Shiki glanced at Rima, who had fallen asleep, her head on his shoulder. He remembered how warm he felt when she kissed his cheek.

"Yeah, we're just fine."


Thank you so much for your reviews. The next chapter will be a year later when their nine, and in Rima's POV and will have some insight on her way of thinking, maybe Shiki's too, if not then the chapter after.
