Chapter 6:

The chapter title contest is still going.

XxRandOm-Qu33NxX had the best idea for chapter 3 :)


Ashlen sat in the library, hold her pencil in her in her thumb and index finger. As she tapped her pencil on the table she was at, she lightly chewed a small lock of her hair. It was a bad habit she'd admit, but a habit she started when she was about six.

Ashlen was only in the library because the classroom had been a little too noisy to concentrate on her new assignments. The Headmaster was right after all; they were harder then she thought. Although that was perfect to her. She wanted a challenge and she got just that.

Although, Ashlen was still able to get a few work sheets done; they only took a small while of thinking over the answers. Now she was only working on a few sheets and then she was free to go.

"Hmm, after the scene you mad last night, I thought that you might not me here." A voice said from behind Ashlen.

The girl looked behind her and saw a grinning Aido. He was in his Night Class uniform and he was holding his notebook in one hand.

"Shut up, Aido. I don't want your help." Ashlen said softly before turning her back back against Aido.

"Then why are you in the library? I thought you'd only come here is you needed help." Aido said back and sat beside Ashlen, putting his notebook on the table.

"The classroom was too noisy. I came here for peace and quiet. I don't need your help so just leave." Ashlen said without looking at the vampire

"Ha, like that's going to happen. I'm staying here whether I help you or not." Aido said with a small laugh and a smirk.

Ashlen turned her head to look at Aido, seeing the smirk. She frowned slightly as she felt her heart hurt a little. The smirk sort of reminded Ashlen of Rido's, except that Aido's was more childish.

"What?" Aido asked when he saw she was staring at him. Ashlen quickly looked away.

"Sorry, it's nothing." She said softly as she continued to look at her work.

As Ashlen looked over the questions, she flipped her pencil in her two fingers again. Although this time it was in the air with her elbow on the table.

The scar that was on her wrist was in plain sight so when Aido turned his head, it was quite easy to see it.

"Where did you get that from?" Aido asked out of boredom, staring at the mark on the girl's wrist.

Ashlen quickly put her arm, wrist down, on the table. She hadn't meant for Aido to see it.

"I got it when I was five. I was playing with a knife." Ashlen lied. There was no way she was only to tell Hanabusa Aido she knew about Rido Kuran. That would give away that she knew about vampires and all that.

"Ouch, and you call yourself smart?" Aido asked in a teasing tone, with another smirk.

Ashlen turned in her seat to face Aido, taking her book and smacking it on his side.

"Shut up. I was only five years old then." Ashlen snapped. She hated when others called her stupid. The vampire boy only laughed and rubbed his upper arm.

"Alright, I'm sorry." He said as he continued to chuckle and stopped rubbing his arm.

"Just go away; I said I didn't need your help." Ashlen said, looking away from the boy. Her tone a little harsh since she was still upset.

"I already said I wouldn't leave." Aido said and crossed his arms.

"Oh, and why not?" Ashlen asked, turning her head to looked back at Aido.

"Because it's better then sitting in class. Plus I get to be alone with a pretty Day Class girl and I can't get in trouble for it." He said with a cute grin and a wink.

Ashlen rolled her eyes yet felt herself blush softly. Although she was somewhat annoyed at his cocky attitude. So, when Aido wasn't paying attention, Ashlen cast a spell the weaken the strength of the chair seat he was stilling in.

"Hay, what the hell?" Aido yelled out when he fell through the seat, getting stuck in the now seatless chair.

"SHHHHH. Hay, no yelling." The librarian snapped from the front of the room as Ashlen giggled.

"Fine, stay all you want, but I'm leaving." Ashlen said, standing up and taking her notebook and work sheets in her hands.

"Wait, no, where are you going? Help me out first." Aido begged as he struggled to get himself free.

"I'm going to my dorm room to work on my work in peace. Also, as you can see, my hands are full. Although if you ask nicely, I'm sure the librarian will help you. Bye, Aido-Kun." Ashlen said teasingly as she then turned her back to Aido, walking away.

Aido's P.O.V

'Huh? She's just going to leave me like this?! WHY?!" Aido though in shock as he watched the girl walking away. Normally any girl would drop dead at teh chance to just touch him, let alone help him.

"Baker-Chan, please." Aido whined in a pouty tone as he struggled some more.

He heard the girl sigh before she turned back around. Aido smiled when she walked back to him, putting her things back on the table.

Ashlen's P.O.V

Ashlen reached out a hand for Aido. Although her hand past Aido's hand touched his chin. Ashlen then titled his head back a little she they'd be eye to eye together.

"Ah, don't you just have to love Carma?" she said in a teasing tone before winking.

Ashlen then re-picked put her stuff and quickly left, leaving a dumbstruck Aido behind, still stuck in a chair.
