I looked up at Kaname a bit, hoping Kiyo would just let this go and that he wouldn't hurt her any.

"I said, put her down Kaname." Kiyo snapped.

I looked around, watching the other students snap out of odd techno dance positions and shuffle to their seats. I yelped a bit as Kaname shook me, glaring at Kiyo.

"I don't think I will. And I don't think you can make me."

Kiyo growled louder, stepping closer to Kaname. Suddenly I shifted in his grasp, placing my hand over his and batting my eyes a bit.

"Please Kaname-sama, let it go. I will take whatever punishment you will dish out to me." I nuzzled against his hand, trying to at least fluster him into forgetting what was happening.

Thankfully my plan worked and he dropped me like a hot coal, his eyes searching my face for some explanation.

~*~Kaname's POV~*~

As she nuzzled against me I dropped her in shock. Was she really falling for me? This didn't make any sense. My eyes searched her face, trying to figure out if she was playing at something.

I realized suddenly that I was actually attracted to her. Grabbing her hand I pulled her out of the room and into an empty classroom a few doors down. Pushing her inside I slammed the door behind us.

"What are you playing at dragoness?" My voice was huskier than I meant it to be.

~*~Kieko's POV~*~

I watched him walk towards me, the door slammed shut behind us. I hadn't expected this. Wondering how far he would let this go I looked demurely at the floor.

"What, is a girl not allowed to be attracted to her boyfriend?" I bit my bottom lip and blushed a bit.

"I must say I was not expecting it," he mumbled, still coming closer.

"Just as you were not expecting to be attracted to me, am I wrong?" I finally looked up at him and realized I really was kind of attracted to him… if he wasn't a vampire it would be better.

I jumped slightly as he crossed the distance between us and pressed his lips tightly to mine. It was a brief moment before he jerked away like he had stuck his tongue in an electrical socket.

"No, you are just a pawn, I can't let you have this over me…" he growled, half to himself.

His hands still lay on my hips and I took advantage of that, moving closer and pressing up against him.

"I don't have to be… You don't have to use me like you seem to plan to," I whispered, nuzzling lightly at his neck.

Then the door slammed open behind him. I jumped away like I had been shot, but he still held my hips so I ended up falling and he fell down on top of me.

I looked around his shoulder just in time to see Kiyo taking a flying leap at him.

"YOU BASTARD!" She screeched, landing on his back and rolling him off of me. Her fists swinging, she managed to land a few good punches on him before the noise from their scuffle brought the rest of the Night Class running to the room.

It took five of them to pull her off of him, even then it was a chore to keep her off of him.

"Kiyo! Please! He fell! It was an accident! Calm down!" I screamed, inches from her face.

She suddenly fell still and looked at me, her face contorted into a look of pain.

"But Kie… I don't… I… I'm sorry," she mumbled, looking to the ground.

"Put her down," I growled. The second she was on her feet I pulled her into a tight hug.

"Thank you, I know you were worried because of my past but only Ichijou here knows. Please don't make a big thing. He honestly fell sweets." I whispered against her ear as I held her.

She nodded against my shoulder and shrugged.

"I guess you're right, I over reacted." Bouncing back like she always did she pulled the rest of the class from the room with a cry of "let's get back to class!"

I went to kneel beside Kaname, looking at the marks that would surely become bruises. He gripped my wrists as I touched them lightly. Looking at his hands I felt panic rise in my throat.

"Please, don't grab me like that," I whispered, looking away from him.

He didn't answer, he just pulled me down into another kiss. I allowed him for a moment before pulling away.

"We should really get back to class as well," I whispered, standing and walking towards the door.

~*~Kaname's POV~*~

I watched her walk towards the door, staring at her curves. Why couldn't I keep my hands off her? This shouldn't be happening. I needed her as bait to bring the American vampires under my control, and that wouldn't work if I had feelings for her. I had to get her out of her quickly.

"Yes, we should," I mumbled, standing quickly and taking her elbow. As I escorted her to class I couldn't help but wonder what exactly about her was so appealing.

~*~Kieko's POV~*~

I kept my eyes on the floor as we walked back towards the class.

"I'll come to your room after classes to give you something to eliminate the bruises that will form," I mumbled as he opened the door to the classroom.

With a short nod he simply lead us to our seats.

~*~Takuma's POV~*~

I watched him lead her back in and frowned. She looked so sad again, but their lips were red… almost as if they had been kissing. Again I felt rage building inside of me. Could she really be falling for him? But she had just tackled me… Oh who was I kidding, Kaname had laid claims to her. Her and I were just friends. I pushed my feelings aside and resigned myself to being happy as just friends with her.

"Kieko-chan?" I whispered, tapping her hand gently as she sat between Kaname and I.

I watched her look up at me and there was something in her eyes… was it fear?

"You called me Ta-kun. May I call you Kie-chan just as Kiyo does?"

She nodded, smiling a little bit and patting the back of my hand.

"Of course Ta-kun, I'm glad we are friends."

I felt warmth flood through me at her words and it felt like my skin burst into flames were she touched me, but I pushed it back. We were friends and friends only.

~*~Kieko's POV~*~

I felt the urge to lay my head on his shoulder and sleep but I knew that would cause problems. Leaving my hand resting on Takuma's, I turned and lay my head against Kaname's shoulder yawning widely.

"Are you tired?" He whispered, looking down at me.

I nodded slightly but sat up, trying my hardest to pay attention to the lectures.

When classes finally ended, I sprung up from my seat.

"I'll meet you in your room Kaname," I grinned as I bolted out of the room.

I made it into my room to grab the balm and then into his room all before he even made it to the dorms.

~*~Kaname's POV~*~

When I walked into my room, Kieko was there jumping on my bed like a child. Somehow I couldn't stop myself. I flew at her and pressed her to my bed, my lips hungrily pressing to hers.

Do they? Don't they? Stay tuned to find out!
