Chapter 7:You Can't Come

(Yuuki is in her room getting ready to go do the job)

The sun had set. The day had turned night. The headmaster had told me to hunt down a level E vampire. He has gone blood lust. Right now, I was getting ready to leave so I could go and hunt him. I grabbed Artemis so I could use her to fight him. I put Artemis in a bag along with the documents about the guy and, a first-aid kit.

I opened my door. I started to walk down the stairs to go to the front door so I could leave the dormitory. I reached the front door. I was about to leave but a voice had stopped me. I turned it was Aido.

"Yuuki-chan, where are you going?" he asked.

I sighed. Knowing him, he would of course want to tag along. I had actually wanted to go by myself. It would be nice to be by myself and just think. I still told him the truth though.

"I'm going to go hunting for a level E vampire who is on the Wanted list." I answered.

"Then, I'll come too." He went to the coat stand and took a coat off its peg. "I'll accompany you."

I tried to smile. "It's okay. I won't need your help."

That was a big mistake. Aido started to look sad. He even started to do his puppy dog face on me. I sighed.

"Why do you want to come?" I asked.

He stopped looking sad and started to smile a little. "To make sure you won't get hurt. I'll be able to protect you if I were to come along." he said quite confidently. I started to think about it. If Aido came along, the job was most likely, was going to be done faster.

I smiled. "Fine, let's go."

Aido also smiled. "Let's go, Yuuki-chan!" This guy….It's not like it was a field trip or anything. Why is he so excited? I kind of wanted to know why Aido seemed excited so I asked him.

"Why are you so excited?"

He smiled at me again. "I'm excited because I'm goanna be hanging with you." I don't know why but I just started blushing by what Aido said. My stupid heart kept thumping.

He had noticed that I was acting weird. "What's wrong?" he asked. Crap! I need an excuse.

"Um-uh…" I couldn't think of anything. My heart's thumping wouldn't let me concentrate enough to think of an excuse. I couldn't just say that what he said made me feel um-uh…I didn't even know what's wrong with me.

He started to look at me funny. Then, he made his right hand into a fist which hit his left palm. It looked like he figured something out.

'Please don't let him know what I was thinking.' I had thought.

"You're…" Here it is! "You're cold, right?" he said bluntly.

I started to laugh nervously. "Hahaha…yeah, I am cold. How'd you know?" I lied.

"Well, you're wearing the school uniform which includes a skirt and, you're not wearing a jacket or coat. So, you must be cold." Sure, I'll take that as my excuse. Thanks, Aido!

"Yeah, I'm sure am cold. Brrrrr!" To be honest though, I was actually starting to feel cold now that he mentioned it. I should have been smart enough to get something warm to wear.

I started to shiver a little. After a few seconds, I started to feel something weighing down on my shoulders. It was Aido's coat. He had put it on me so I wouldn't be cold. I started to blush a little. "Thanks."

He smiled. "You're welcome." Aido can really be a nice guy sometimes. He started speaking again which just stopped my thinking. "I can't believe you forgot to get something warm to wear. It's nighttime so of course it would be cold. You're so stupid." he said bluntly. Never mind what I've thought about him being nice.

My face became red from embarrassment. "I had a lot on my mind." I said lamely.

He started to laugh. "Yeah, sure you did." he said in a sarcastic tone.

"Aido-sempai, let's just go and get the job done already." I tried to change the subject.

He stopped laughing. "Fine, I'll stop."

I sighed. Thank goodness, he wasn't going to keep bothering me about it.

He changed the subject like I had wanted. "If we finish the job quicker, we can go and hang out. We've already ditched class to do this job."

I smiled a little. It would be nice to just hang out and have fun with Aido.

"Let's get him!" I said cheerfully. I did a fist pump in the air.

Aido stopped walking. "Where are we going to find him?" he asked.

I started to look through the documents were in my bag. I skim through them to see if it had anything on where the guy might be. I just saw past records of people trying to get him. Then, I saw one that had what he looked like. I read it out loud so Aido could know a little about the guy.

"Height is 6 foot 2 inches. Eyes are the color green. They may turn red for his lust for blood. Hair color is reddish brown. Age is 40 years old." The document also had a picture of the guy and I showed it to Aido. After that, I started to skim some more. Then I saw what I was looking for so I read it out loud to him. "Places he would most likely be at. They include the following: the Dark Night Bar, the…" I stopped talking. Why did it have to say this place? I thought.

Aido grew curious to why I had stopped. "What's wrong?" he asked.

I said nothing. I just kept thinking. 'I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO THERE!'

Aido started to look over my shoulder to look at the document. He started to reread what I've read. "Places he would most likely be at. They include the following: the Dark Night Bar, the Cupid Love Hotel and, the Ice Cream Parlor." he said smoothly.

I started to blush. Aido's eyes started to widen. "The Cupid Love Hotel?" he screamed.

I just nodded. Sadly, we had to go there.

He started to nervously laugh. "Let's check out the bar first." he said.

I just nodded. We started walking to the Dark Night Bar. I hope that guy was at the bar.

As we walked through the night Aido and I were both silent. I kept on thinking the same thing.

'LOVE HOTEL? I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE! I should've asked Rima and Shiki to also come. It would have been less uncomfortable if they also came along.'
