"Oh it's so on now you bitch. Get up Alice right now" he spat at me
This only caused me to laugh harder. Pretty soon he was so mad his eyes turned crimson and that's when i knew i had stop. I got up off the ground trying my hardest not to laugh again.
"Ha-ha does you like your surprise Zero?" I asked
"No why? How did you know it was that one song? Did Yuuki say something? Oh swear to the gods I will-"
"No Yuuki wouldn't do that to you but I'm thinking your old master would." I say
"Yagari no he wouldn't"
"Well um yeah he did he even set it up so that instead of the bell we'll hear I'd lie" I smirk at him.
"Why would he help you though?" he glared at me
"I don't know but at least we both have an ally in our war. You're lucky you know" I say
"Really how?" he asked sarcastically
"You're lucky that you finally revealed those feelings for Yuuki that you have kept hidden all this time because I had a whole other idea..." I trailed off
"What was your idea Alice?"
"Well you see I was going to tell King Bastard that Yuuki wanted him to ask her out on a date so that he would and then I was going to drag you out to the same restaurant just so you could watch. But then I remembered how much it hurts to see the one you love in love with someone else" I say
"Well thank you for not doing that to me because I swear I would have killed you and King Bastard without a second thought." he mumbled
Pretty soon our little conversation was interrupted by squealing girls. We both turned around now looking to see who they were screaming about. But when we couldn't see them through the masses we turned around and continued on arguing.
"So what is it that makes you hate King Bastard so much Zero? I mean you now have Yuuki and yet you still have to beat him"
"Well it was his kind of leech that turned me into one of them. So to exact my revenge I must kill all of the pure bloods but imp going to mostly enjoy killing King Bastard" he smirked evilly
"I hope you're not revering to me as King Bastard Kiryu" a smooth deep voice said from behind us.
We both stiffened we both shot annoyed glares at each other before turning around to face the bastard himself.
"Of course not why on earth would we do that?" i say sarcastically
"Good, so who are you?" he asked looking at me
"I guess he doesn't understand sarcasm" i mutter to Zero.
"Im Alice Monteith im new" i smile as kindly as i could at him
"Ahh so you're the famous Alice that kept Akatsuki Kain from class last night" he said a small smirk playing on his lips
I glared at Zero when he snickered. Honestly we have our nice moments but they never last.
"I guess so" i say blushing and looking down.
"Hmm so what is so interesting about you Alice that keeps the boys hanging around you for so long?" he asks snidely
"Well i guess it's because im a whore" i say bitterly my voice laced with sarcasm again.
I hear Zero snort. I guess he won't mind if i continue to argue with this leech the way i am.
"Come again?" Kaname said
"No sorry i only sleep with a guy once, it's my rule" i say bitting back my smirk
"So you Alice Monteith are a whore?" he asks
"Im sorry Alice but i have to go Yuuki and i are going out on our date" he says smugly
"That's cool Zero go have fun with Yuuki. Oh and please tonight when you get back do not wake me when you come in ok. I nearly threw up this morning when i caught you two. PDA is not a very good wakeup call" i say helping with rubbing it in Kaname's face.
He nodded and strolled off.
Kaname chose to ignore the hurt from our words as he turned to me and pushed me against a tree. He was too close now, i tried to push him off but i am a mere human and so weak compared to him. I began to whimper in pain when his grip on me tightened, i could feel the tears of pain well up in my eyes blurring my vision. He smirked as his faced moved closer to mine.
"So if you really are a whore why are you trying to fight me off i thought you would just give it away." he whispered his lips as my neck.
"Kaname it was a joke i was being sarcastic but im assuming sarcasm is a foreign language to you" my voice cracked i was very near panic now.
There was no one around to help me and the headmaster still hadn't got me a weapon.
"Alice darling please it is not wise to start with me when no one is here to save you" he whispered
And without me even realising his lips crushed into my. I nearly puked too. Think Alice think, aha. With one quick knee to the nads Kaname was on the ground. That will teach him i thought as i sprinted off.
"You won't get far Alice don't forget i know where you sleep" i heard him yell after me.
I didn't know where i was going all i knew was i needed to be with someone so i wasn't alone anymore. I came to a door i knocked as loud and as hard as i could. My wrists were bruising already from that leeches grip. To my relief someone finally answered the door but it wasn't who i expected. It was Hanabusa Aido, my stomach dropped. After going through that and now coming here to be face to face with a guy who reminds me exactly of Finn. But then i realised just how lucky that was.
"Aido where's Akatsuki need him please" i plead tears streaming down my face
"Hey aren't you the girl we found in the woods?" he asked eyeing me suspiciously
"Yes yes i am but please i need Akatsuki" i plead again
"Ok I'll take you to him" he said seemingly annoyed
He led me up the stairs and to a door.
"He's in there im not following you" he said as he swiftly strode away
I knock lightly.
"Come in" Kain's deep monotone voice replied.
"Akatsuki, Akatsuki please i don't i can't..." i gasp for breath helplessly trying to form a sentence
He got up off his bed and walked over to me. He wrapped his arms around me picking me up and carrying me over to his bed sitting down and placing me on his lap. He gently stroked my hair whilst i tried to calm my hysteria. When i had finally calmed myself down i pulled away to look at him. He was clad in nothing but boxers and grey hoodie.
"Alice what happened?" he asked looking at me.
He watched me as i looked down at my wrists i gasped when i saw the bruises. I quickly tried to cover them but i wasn't fast enough. Akatsuki gently pulled one hand away and examined my wrist. His eyes grew wide.
"What or rather who did this to you, i swear if it was that cousin of mine i will kill him" he spat angrily.
I shook my head.
"No it wasn't Aido it was someone i don't think you will kill." i said looking down
"Who was it Alice?"
"King Bastard" i replied
"Kaname Kuran did this to you but why?" he asked shocked
"Zero and i were arguing over the music and then we began to talk about a plan i had had which involved Kuran. Then he actually showed up and Zero had to go because he was taking Yuuki out. This was after Zero and i had made a joke about me being a whore which im not. It was all a sarcastic joke to him and me. But Kuran doesn't get sarcasm so he took it seriously and after Zero had left he.. He..."
"He what Alice, what did he do?"
"he pinned me against a tree and when i tried to push him away his grip on my wrists tightened and then he told me to prove to him that i was a whore but i wouldn't because im not and then he kissed me and i didn't know what else to do so i kneed im where it hurts and then sprinted off not caring where i was going. But when i was just getting away he called to me saying he knows where i sleep. So i can't go back there alone. Then i managed to somehow end up here and Aido let me in and brought me to you"
"That bastard how dare he do that after everything that happened to you before this? I may not kill him but he has lost my respect." he said through gritted teeth.
I wrapped my arms around his neck i just needed him to hold me again. I felt his go around my waist, i began to relax and his anger seemed to subside. I yawned widely.
"Come on we need to get you back to your bed" he said
"No what if he's there or what if he comes when Yuuki isn't back?" i say the fear boiling over.
"I'll stay with you until she returns" he says as he picks me up and carries me out of the room. I hear some gasps from some of his fellow vampires but no one said anything.
He carried me all the way to my dorm; he placed me down on my bed and went to leave.
"No you said you would stay with me" i yelled at him
"Im going outside so you can change Alice" he says
"Oh ok" i blush then the panic starts again "wait Akatsuki what if he comes when you're out there?"
He sighs and shrugs
"I don't know what would you prefer to do?"
"Stay in here while i change i don't mind" i say
He blushes and nods his head
"If it will make you feel safe" he says as he sits on my bed.
I turn around and pick up my or rather Yuuki's green pyjama pants sliding them under my skirt as i slide the skirt off over the top. I threw it over in the pile of dirty clothes that i will have to wash tomorrow for Yuuki and me. I unbutton my shirt and add it to the pile too. I blush when i notice that i was wearing my Mickey Mouse bra. I quickly shove on the t-shirt that was once Zero's but he claimed after i wore it he never wanted it back. I turn back around with a brush in my hand and begin to undo the plait.
"So Akatsuki... How is everything with Ruka going?" i ask as i thread the brush through my hair. Flinching at every knot.
"What do you mean Alice?"
"Well i know how you feel about her. I see the way you look at her it was the same way Finn use to look at me" i say looking down as i place the brush on the bed stand.
I sat down next to him.
"Alice i don't like her that way anymore. Your words from last stuck with me, they echoed through my head the whole night. I feel as though i can move on from that. Fair enough i loved her but i don't feel it anymore" he says placing an arm around me.
The sudden contact made me jump the slightest bit. In a good way, within seconds as if on cue with the rapid beating of my heart butterflies erupted in the pit of my stomach. I blush.
"Oh ok so do have feelings for anyone else now?" i ask not looking into his eyes.
"Well there is this girl i know, she's really something. Beautiful waist length golden-brown hair, piercing blue eyes. A kind smile, infectious laugh and well at war with Zero Kiryu i think you might know her" he says as he places his fingers beneath my chin and pulling my face up to look into his eyes.
I flush with embarrassment. I didn't see this coming.
"Hmm yeah i know her, she totally owned Zero today too" i smile cheekily
He smiles too he leans in close enough for me to feel his warm breath on my lips. Then the flash backs started happening. The close proximity of Akatsuki brought on the memories of the many 'misadventures' of Finn and I and the horrible experience of the few hours before pinned against a tree. I flinch back; he drops his hand and looks away blushing.
"Sorry" he mumbled
"Don't be it's my fault, it's my stupid brain it keeps going on with the torture of those memories" i say as a single tear rolls down my cheek.
"Oh Alice im sorry for that i didn't realise" he mumbled at me again.
I wrap my arms around his neck i feel his wrap around my waist.
"Im sorry for ruining the moment i guess im just not as ready as i thought. Im sorry" i sigh into his shoulder
"No don't worry Alice im sorry" he says as he gingerly threads his fingers through my hair.
I release my grip but to stifle a yawn. He smiles at me.
"i think you should go to sleep I'll stay with you i promise" he says as he picks me up pulls back the covers and lays me down he then tucks me in. I smile,
"Aren't you going to join me?" i ask innocently
He smiles
"Only if you want me to" he says
I slide over and pull the blankets back for him. He climbs in and lies beside me. He pulls the blankets up over us, i snuggle against his side for a vampire he sure is warm.
"Goodnight Alice" he whispers
I lean up a little and peck his cheek.
"Thanks Akatsuki, night" i mutter
I lie back down beside him and snuggle closer letting his warmth lull me to sleep. I felt him place a kiss on my forehead and whisper good night again.
