Naomi smiled softly asking, "Would you like to play a game with me Ruka? I could use some help setting up the board as I only know the pieces, but I'd like to try a game if you are willing to play."
Ruka walked over to the board and quickly set up one side before saying, "There is an example you set up the other side to look the same. " Ruka looked over the overly dressed girl before adding, "You know Kaname is a pureblood he'd never have a relationship with you, he has to marry another pureblood."
Naomi sat down in the chair slowly setting up her side of the board to look like the one Ruka setup saying, "You obviously are in love with him, and from your behavior so far you are acting like I am competition. I am not sure how I can compete with you, your beautiful and I have a fear of men that you I'm sure don't."
Ruka slowly sat down as Naomi finished setting the board up. She was curious about the girl sitting across from her. She asked, "How did you know I loved him?" She moved the pawn in front of the rook forward two spaces.
Naomi replied, "It's not that hard to tell but if it helps any I have always been perceptive. Since you apparently perceive me as a threat can you tell me why Kaname would have any interest in me?"
Ruka sighed as Naomi moved her pawn in front of her rook two forward. After the move had been finished, she replied, "Kaname loves puzzles, and you're a beautiful girl. He won't be happy until he figures you out even if that means he has to take you as a lover to do so. Of course, because he's a pure blood the moment his fiancé arrives the relationship would end."
Naomi watched as Ruka moved her rook behind her pawn. Naomi was confused asking, "Are you telling me that for vampires duty comes before love. If that is the case, I feel sorry for vampires. Love is such a powerful emotion that should be experienced at least once."
Ruka watched as Naomi for the second time copied her movements this confused her. None the less she replied, "For us, vampires duty does come before love. However, in Kaname's case, I think he is incapable of truly loving anyone. Life is a game to him, and once he wins the game, he moves on to the next challenge. He won't care about who he destroys in the process of winning the game he is playing."
Naomi waited for Ruka to move her next piece watching as she moved another pawn two spaces away from the first one forward two. Naomi had a hard time believing that Kaname was as heartless as she was saying. She could tell that Ruka was hurt by Kaname not returning her feelings. Sometimes things didn't work out the way we want them too Naomi was very familiar with that concept. She had been through a lot in her young life, and she hoped that if any relationship occurred that she wouldn't be left with a broken heart. She sighed as she moved her rook from the first pawn to the second. Ruka had no idea what strategy Naomi was using, but she guessed the beginner wasn't using any. Instead, she was experimenting to see what would work. Ruka was curious about why she was so afraid of men or better yet why she seemed so shy and ashamed of her body. She stopped playing a moment to say, "Can I ask what happened to you?"
Naomi replied, "Well when I was about two years old I was found wandering the woods alone. They tried to find my family, but since none could be found, I was adopted. At about 9 I wondered into the woods. I am not sure what happened, but I was found covered in blood with a dead vampire, and a bleeding vampire hunter near me. The vampire hunter was my adoptive Father which I learned from my Mother. I was in shock for a year after that not talking to anyone. At 11 my Mother remarried sadly he didn't want her but me. At first, he seemed nice but as I changed into a woman so did he. At 13 he started sexually assaulting me and raping me until he was caught in the act, and was arrested. Of course to this day my Mother blames herself for what happened, and feels guilty for allowing him into the home."
Ruka was stunned the poor girl had been through too much, for someone so young. Ruka replied, "Your Mother shouldn't feel bad he apparently took advantage of her feelings for him to get what he wanted. He's just lucky he wasn't a vampire he would have been killed for his actions." Ruka couldn't help thinking; no wonder why the girl was so shy about her body. She was trying to keep from attracting unwanted attention from men.
Little did either girl know that Kaname had stopped outside the door, and had heard everything. A sly grin crossed his features as he thought about the possibility of being the one to show Naomi what pleasures sex could truly bring to a woman. He wanted to be the first to teach her everything a woman needed to know not only to pleasure her man but to experience the pleasure herself. He most definitely wasn't going to let the opportunity pass him by. To tend to her, and watch her bloom as the sexual creature all women are meant to be it was a once in a lifetime thing. If he walked away now, some other man would get the chance to show her the meaning of pleasure, and he certainly wasn't about to let that happen. Not when it was so obvious that she was ripe for the taking with the right amount of time, and patience. He entered the room saying, "Miss Tashio I am sorry it took so long I hope you weren't overly board."
