Chapter 8 ~A blood bound guest, tied to the past~
After a few more days, I was well enough to leave the infirmary. Mostly thanks to Takuma's blood.
And boy, was I glad to get out if that stuffy room.
With my newfound freedom, I decided to take a quiet walk alone in the gardens of the moon dorm. Before I left, Ai told me that wolves had been found in the garden…but I just told her that it would be ok, that wolves like me…
I needed time to think through things, I didn't have time to worry about my sister's silly teasing. The last week had been eventful, and I really needed this time alone to figure out what my next move is…
I sat down the edge of a fountain, feeling the cool marble against my legs. The water glittered silver in the moonlight, which made me wonder what my eyes would look like to someone right now… I quickly cleared my head of the random thoughts and focused on what I came out here for.
Let's see…I got shot in the stomach with a anti-vampire gun by a bipolar vampire hunter. Kaname says the shock from the bullet was likely what cause my memories to begin returning.
I sighed. On top of that, the weirdest thing was Takuma's confession…He said that he was in love with me…He looked so serious. I can't say that I haven't thought about that…it's just that for some reason it scares me to think about getting close to somebody…But…I also really want to be close to someone…someone sweet, like Takuma…
I blushed fiercely. I really do like him a lot…I'm just not entirely sure what to do about it…
"What am I supposed to do?" I asked aloud.
"You seem to have healed nicely."
I looked up at the sound of the unfamiliar voice. Seeing no one I growled lowly under my breath. "Who are you?" I demanded. "Don't play games with me."
The voice laughed lightly. "You really don't remember me, Lady Ayane? How sad."
"What the hell are you saying, kid? And why did you call me Lady Ayane? You had better show your self before I get angry."
The owner of the voice stepped out of the shadows, so that I could see them.
It was a male, somewhere around Kaname's height, with fire Red hair with wild blue streaks through it. When he looked up at me, smiling, I noticed his eyes were a violet color..
For some reason, he looked familiar. "Who are you?" I asked again.
He smiled more. "Hello, milady, I'm Riku Yoshiro…your servant, do you really not remember me?"
And with those words, the memory of him came back, hitting me harshly…
*Flashback*
~I was young, just past my 7th birthday, my fangs had just fully came in…and they hurt like hell right then…
Riku and I were playing, but I was getting really hungry…
I know papa said not to bite anyone, but I- ….***** nii-san won't find out…I won't tell him or Ai…
"Hey Ayane-chan! Come on, are you tired already?"
I said nothing, just standing there as a tear ran down my face.
He walked over, his violet eyes full of concern. "Ayane-chan? Are you alright?"
I looked up, my eyes red from hunger. Riku was human, and I could hear his blood pounding wildly in him…Whether it was from fear or worry, I couldn't tell.
I'm sorry Kaname…Ai…Papa…nii-san…Mama…Y***…Uncle and Auntie Kuran…
The sound of his blood was lovely, It was music to me…I couldn't control myself and pounced on him, biting his neck roughly as we fell on the ground.
"AYANE!" He yelped, obviously in pain…
That Sin caused him to turn into a vampire…caused him to be bound to me as a slave forever…~
*End of flashback*
"Riku? Oh my gosh Riku, I'm sorry!" I yelled, sobbing loudly. "I never meant to turn you, It was an accident!"
He hugged me, which I knew by instinct wasn't proper…He apparently realized it too, quickly releasing me and bowing respectfully…When he bowed, I noticed he had a short sword as a weapon…
"Milady, It's ok."
"That's really creepy, Riku."
"S-Sorry…I believe the proper thing for you to do now it tell your friends about me so that they don't attack me.."
"You can't stay here! There are hunters on the grounds."
"I know, one is like me, I could tell. Come on Lady Ayane, It'll be ok. I'll be your bodyguard…and I'm sure I can stay safe myself."
"Alright, come one then…" I got up and walked toward the moon dorm entrance, sighing…I wonder who the people in my flashback were that their names weren't said, one was my brother, but what is his name?…hmm….more than anything I sure hope he doesn't just end up as another pawn in this stupid game Kaname seems to be playing….
