HikariXKurai - Same two votes.
ZeroXKurai - Still two votes (even though i have gotten multiple votes from one person XD)
So if you want to break the tie or get Kain and Kurai winning you need to vote! I'm only keeping this up until the end of the dance!
Last, since i won't have time to type the dance in one chap i'm making it three. Pre dance, the dance, and post dance. Each has Kurai with one of the three guys in it.
DISCLAIMER! So, do not own VK.
I watch the shadows dip down the walls. Their dark fingers sliding down the wall towards me, coming closer and closer. The orange glow of the window seems to fade into a monster of night. Wait, that's vampires.
I sigh. I've been in my room alone for the last week and it's lonely. I didn't know I relied on Zero for company so much, "Awe, to the hell with it." I grumble, planning on walking in the forest, and swing open my balcony doors. Tomorrow's the masquerade. I have a mask that matches my dress that I made when I was bored and Zero was ignoring me. But I can't think of that now. At all. I need to get my mind off it because then I start to think of Hikari.
I stare out over the trees in their orange glow. I hear distance screams which tells me the night class has just been let out of their cage, "Hey."
I turn around quickly startled by the voice, "Kain? What are you doing here? You're supposed to be going to class."
"Since when have you been the one to tell someone to get to class?" Kain stands on the other side of the balcony with a smirk on. His hair looks a bit messier than it usually does showing me that he ran here. He stuffs his hands in his pockets and walks over. He leans back against the railing still smirking at me.
"I heard you have a new teacher. Shouldn't you be there to greet him?" I state lamely not knowing how to begin the conversation. I look over to my left trying to see the day kids but, failing. So, I look back towards the vampire and find his hair is ignited by the sun. It almost looks like the sun is his yellow container to his fire hair.
He crosses his arms at me and gives me a childish frown, "Fine. I'll go."
My face turns to terror, "Please don't go! I've been so…" I stop for a moment and look at the scene in front of me.
I have a boy half turned away from me on a balcony, of all places. His eyes seem to be burning with playfulness. My hand is extended out to grab onto his shirt. My face is torn between agony and fear.
What a love story setting.
Kain's expression softens, "Are you alright?"
"You know something? I have only been without Zero for a week and I feel like I haven't seen a person in years. Am I that dependent on people to not be able to be alone for any length of time?" I nearly growl pissed off at myself more than anything. How can I be so dependent on a roommate that I don't even like that much! Or…didn't like that much.
Kain chuckles; he walks up to me with a smirk, "It's not a bad thing that you like being around people. If you weren't I wouldn't be able to spend time with you, Juliet!" He bumps me with his shoulder playfully, I even giggle a bit.
I roll my eyes, "Am I supposed to call you Romeo now?"
For a moment Kain stares at me with no expression. What is he thinking about?
I don't know what it is about Kain but, he always makes me happy, you know? And weirdly when I'm with him, I don't have such horrible luck. When I'm having a depressed moment, he is always there to make some weird joke and get me laughing again.
Before I can even think about what's going on I feel two strong arms on my upper arms and pressure on my forehead. I blink a couple of times trying to figure out where this is going. My thoughts are broken once more by a leave of the pressure on my forehead and a new pressure on my nose, "Kurai, I don't know what it is about you but, you make me want to just leave this place and go somewhere else. To forget about Kaname and Ruka. I want to go wherever you go, Juliet."
I bite my lip. Is this his need for my blood talking? Or does he truly mean this?
Before I know it I feel his cold lips on my neck. I naturally relax knowing it will be easier for him to take blood that way, "I know there is a lot of things going on here but, I think we should leave them behind. I can help you with your mission now."
I shake my head as I feel my eyes well up, "You don't want to follow me. Most of the time vampires curse my name and whoever is with me gets the same treatment no matter who they are. You do not want to bring shame to your family, do you?"
I know his family is one of the higher ups. I don't want to ruin him because I'm a selfish being. I know I want him to come with me. I know I want to leave this place. I know I want to be far, far away from Kaname…
"So? It's so redundant here! I can't handle anymore! I've been looking for an escape for months now and I have finally found you!"
I'm an escape?
"I can't handle watching Ruka throw herself at Kaname and I hate watch Aido getting in trouble all the time! I'm sick of it!"
I'm a second choice?
"I want to go with you and see the world through your eyes. I want to be able to relate to you. I want to see what you went through!"
I'm exciting?
"I want to help you!"
My breath gets caught in my throat. I notice that I've been staring at his tie for a very long time now. I notice that my hands are full of his shirt. I notice I'm crying.
My heart clenches at the thought of crying in front of someone and the thought of going weak because of yet another boy, "Why is everyone so stuck on making me feel like a school girl? Is that the new game? What do I look like to you? A little-"
Kain tilts my head up quickly making me stop abruptly, "Stop."
I frown in response. Why does he get the power to shut me up?
"It is not a bad thing to cry, Juliet. It shows that you haven't lost yourself to heartlessness. You need to love people."
I nearly growl at him. I look up at him with fire in my eyes, "I know how to love, Kain. I know what butterflies in your stomach mean. I have experienced a lot of things. I am not some naïve little girl!" I pull away from him and throw my hands up, "I know what it's like to be heartbroken! I know it all! I've been here for a while now, thank you!" I turn around and glare at him. He doesn't flinch away. He only shakes his head.
"Have you ever thought about having a family?"
My eyebrows come together at the word. The foreign word, "Family?"
Yeah, I know, I just found out that I have a mom and a dad that love me but, I'm still not used to it.
He sighs, "I know it's hard for you to believe but, hasn't your life been filled with lust?"
I scowl at this not really wanting to admit it.
"Haven't you ever thought about picking someone to have children with? You're going to live forever. Why not pick someone and be happy with little Juilets running around?"
I allow myself to laugh at the totally absurdity, "Me and children? That's crazy." I shake my head.
Kain grabs my shoulders roughly. I look up at him with a curious gaze, "Is it really that hard to see?"
I stop breathing for a moment. I feel a cooling breeze sweep over the two of us sending some leaves spiraling around us. Was it that hard to picture myself actually growing up and getting married and doing all that shit.
I find myself picturing a generic guy without a face. Nothing too special about anything to do with the wedding. Plain boring and hardly anyone was there. Which is because I hardly have friends…
"Are you saying that I should marry you?"
Kain gets a wide smile on his face before he lays his head onto my shoulder laughing, "Not yet! Talk about moving fast! I may call you Juliet but it doesn't mean I'm in love with you. I only like you…"
I freeze. What?
"Kurai?"
He likes me? What? What did I do to make him do that? I thought we were friends. I thought I come go somewhere without someone falling for me! I don't know what to do!
"Juliet!" Kain shakes me.
I blink.
And blink.
I feel my heart drop.
How am I supposed to just leave here?
Will Kain follow me like he said he would if I left?
How am I supposed to have no regrets?
Do I like Kain in the same way?
What if I don't?
I tear up.
Kain.
"Kurai? Are you okay?"
"I don't know how to deal with this."
Kain sighs, "I didn't expect you to." He sweeps his arm knocking my off my feet into his arms. "Now, since I'll only be able to dance with you tomorrow. I am spending the night."
"Zero's going to kill me…" Then I smile, "Never mind! He'll never know!" I smile and lean into Kain. If this soft and comforting thing Kain has going on is the new type of love he's talking about, I might have to drop everything and run away with him.
Hm... Was that a good fluffy thing? I know Kain is supposed to be lai back and everything but, everyone has a mischief side right? Right. Just tell me if he get too out of character!
REMEMBER! PAIRINGS PAIRINGS PAIRINGS!
