DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vampire Knight, this anime/ manga series was written by Matsuri Hino. However, I do own this Plot and OC; Aria, as well as any other OC's I add.
Note: This Chapter is from Aido's P.O.V, just something fun I thought up. I just need to add a few filler chapters so this might be a little out of place but yeah… hope you enjoy anyway.
Chapter 10: Wonder
Stretching languidly, a yawn escaped my lips. Staring at the window my sea blue eyes stared at the bright crescent moon that adorned the night sky in all its beauty, nothing could rival such a magnificent thing. Lazily clouds drifted past the moon, creating a haze over the forest landscape that sprawled around the Academy. As the clouds drifted across the moon, the silvery rays illuminated a slender frame that stood precariously on the turret of the rooftop. An extremely short black under tulle skirt fluttered around her shapely thighs as she stared down at the Academy grounds, one arms lying loosely against her side.
The black day class jacket she usually donned was held in her fingers against her back so that her white silk sleeves were bare and I could see the definitive curve of her chest through the tight vest. Her hair, much to my disappointment was still pinned up in a messy pony tail; I liked it loose around her shoulders so that it could curl around her slender waist. But the way her neck was bared was just as appealing, and only a few curls brushed against the nape of her neck. She shifted her weight slightly and the already short skirt played higher along her thigh only to reveal her sheathed dagger.
I swallowed slightly remembering the scent that lingered from it only a week ago, blood and roses. And not just any type of blood, powerful and strange vampire blood, with a hint of vanilla. Her scent lingered upon her own weapon and it confused me, until I had smelt her spilled blood upon her skin and clothes. Perhaps she had used her won weapon against her, but I had yet to figure out why. Glancing around I realised I wasn't the only one that had noticed her, Kaname's already strange crimson gaze was fixed on her in an almost possessive stare.
Even though he was a Pureblood, the look he was giving her made a shiver crawl up my spine, and not the good kind, I shuddered. Returning my gaze to the girl I watched as she tilted her head staring up at the crescent moon that seemed to hang in the sky like an illuminating light. A small smile tugged at her rose quartz coloured lips and she gazed longingly up at the sky. Something about her intense look caused something to pull at my heart; it was like she was longing to be set free from the bonds that secured her to this life. A light nightly breeze rustled through the leaves sending the small loose tendril of her hair dancing around her face.
Watching in fascination as she brushed a few stray strands from her face I watched as her body stilled, her gaze was turned to the left so I could no longer see the side of her face. Almost unnaturally fast she jumped from the roof; the whispering sound of rushing air through clothes drew most of the vampire's attention. A blush painted my cheeks. As she had jumped from the building her skirt had fluttered quite high, revealing lacy black underwear. I swallowed around a tight throat, trying to hide my embarrassment about seeing her undergarments but at the same time, a part of me wanted, desired to see more of her.
Standing slowly I took one step before Kaname's voice filtered down from the top of the classroom to me, "Aido, spill one drop of her blood and you will be answering to me." His voice was like ice cutting through my skin, nothing like the ice I controlled. These words were like a knife covered in blood, the blood was mesmerizing but the knife was to be feared.
Turning I bowed politely, "As you wish Kaname." I mumbled respectfully but I still left the classroom, claiming to my cousin Kain that I wanted to go for a stroll and no I would try not to do anything stupid but I don't think that he truly believed me. A secret part of me didn't even believe me but I wanted to find the strange girl and figure her out. She was like a puzzle and all I needed was that one last piece to complete the puzzle before me.
A secret part of me whispered that I may not be ready for the truth but I dismissed it, ignoring the knowing feeling in the pit of my stomach that maybe I was trying to fit myself in somewhere I was unwanted, but I had never been one to follow the rules. Throwing the doors open I sighed in pleasure as the cool night hair hit me square in the face the crisp scent of the night wind teased me as the light crunch of leaves beneath my feet assaulted my ears, along with the sound of the night creatures wandering the forest. Just as I was, the night was the time of the Vampires.
Silvery moonlight gave the forest an almost ethereal light, as everything was washed with beautiful greys, blues and blacks. A tree once beautiful in the sun was now radiant under the light of the moon; a bubbling brook once pretty in the day was magical at night. Night creatures called to one another and the answering calls of animals and bugs filled the air. But an intruding sound entered the once peaceful forest; a rustle of leaves, too loud to be an animal caught my attention to the right and further in front of me.
Sliding forward I kept to the shadows of the tress as whispered conversations reached me, "Really don't be such a baby." One girl hissed almost cruelly. A resounding whimper answered her harsh words. Skulking forward I peered around a corner and relaxed, as the sight before me unveiled.
A girl with short messy blonde hair was frowning at a girl that clutched an olden looking camera to her chest, while shaking her head back and forth in an answering no. "Just give me the camera and I can have those pictures by tomorrow." She mumbled, reaching out a hand as her fingers curled, in annoyance.
"But what if we get caught?" the other girl asked, her mousy brown hair was up in a messy ponytail, that bobbed as she shook her head.
Smirking to myself I stepped from the confines of the forest and watched with amusement as they both scrambled to their feet, "Idol!" they both gasped in surprised unison, my smile grew wider as I watched bright blushes stain their once pale cheeks.
The blonde girls pale blue eyes glittered as she stared at me, almost possessively. I have to admit it was kind of creepy, because she didn't seem like a very nice person even though she beamed at me now, gushing about how lucky she was to be seeing me. I tried not to narrow my eyes at that; she wasn't the one who was lucky.
"It's so nice to see you out here Idol." She gushed as the other glanced around furtively as if I had brought someone along with me, "What are you doing out here alone?" the other asked.
Shrugging my shoulders I smiled, "Class was boring so I wanted to go for a stroll, so lucky of me to come across such beautiful flowers." I practically purred. Their blushed darkened as they both stared at me in wonderment. Smiling I took a few stalking steps forwards knowing that my eyes had begun to glow a strange crimson lustre as I heard their pulse beating beneath their skin. Turning my gaze to the blonde I took her hand, smiling slightly.
Lifting her hand to my lips I allowed my mouth to open, revealing the slender fangs that had finally slid through in my desire for their blood, "Fangs?" the brunette squeaked as she dropped her camera and fainted, the blonde began to tremble in fear, I slowly turned her hand my fangs a heartbeat away from her skin. A flaring pain shot from my own hand and I dropped hers with a agonised shriek as I flung my hand around as if something had bitten me and was still lodged into my skin, the blondes eyes widened in shock and then she too fainted from the overwhelming memory of my fangs mere seconds from piercing her skin.
A rustle of leaves and then a slender form literally fell from the upper branches of the tree, "Aido." Her voice was colder than ice and sharper than a blade, in her hand was a medium sized rock, no larger than a quarter. I stared at my hand, it was unblemished because of my increased healing but a small smear of blood my otherwise perfect skin. I stared from the back of my hand and the small pool of blood to her fingers where she held the rock.
Narrowing my gaze I spoke, conscious of the fact that my fangs were still visible, "Did you throw a rock at me?" I asked annoyed yet filled with wonder at how stupid she could be.
Her stance was defensive, as she glared at me, her strange peacock coloured gaze staring into my own crimson coloured one, "And if I did?" she questioned her voice still cold but something flickered in the depth of her own harden eyes, almost as if she wanted to smile but was too furious to.
I moved with amazing speed and pinned her against the tree, "You really shouldn't have done that." I could feel her gentle curves pressed against my lithe body and I forced down a moan about how good she felt in my arms, even though I was restraining her. Staring down at her, I saw the pain cross her face, but it wasn't physical it was emotional. Leaning in close to her I inhaled deeply just at the curve of where her neck met her shoulder, "So sweet…" I mumbled.
I felt her trembling body stiffen against me as she struggled to move, but all she did was press herself closer to me, resting my head against her shoulder I relaxed against her. Her small gasp of shock filled the forest and her breathing hitched and changed coming faster, "If you bite me I swear I will hunt you down." She whispered into the night sky, her breath stirring the strands of my hair to tickle against my ear.
I smiled against her neck so that my lips only briefly touched her skin, I felt her trembled beneath me, "One can only wish for such a thing." I whispered against her throat. She whimpered and then I felt a something cold touch my temple, sighing I turned to stare at Zero as he pointed the Bloody Rose directly between my eyes.
"Release her or I swear I will shoot." His voice was far more like a glacier than hers could ever be, staring at him, I knew he wasn't joking. I noticed that he wasn't even paying attention to me, his eyes were locked on Aria, something flickered in those purple depths that I had never seen before, and it infuriated me. That he was looking at her with such wonder and longing, that she probably would have burst into flames. Releasing my hold on the beautiful woman I watched as she stumbled slight from both shock and terror.
Her hair was dishevelled and falling from her hair tie as she moved behind Zero, something about that motion annoyed me to no end. That she would run to the Hunter to protect her, but a nagging thought entered my mind, why hadn't she pulled out her knife? Zero lifted the gun but he paused to turn slightly to stare at Aria with shock, she was holding a fist full of his jacket and she was tugging on it, trying to get him to move away.
"Aido, what did I say about spilling blood?" the smooth voice like silk spilled through the air, followed by none other than Kaname Kuran, his eyes were narrowed as he stared at me. "My apologies Aria, you shouldn't have had to go through that…" he trailed off, nodding slightly to Zero.
Fear filled me but Aria spoke slightly, "Doesn't matter, one can only break so many times..." Then Zero moved his arm around Aria's slender waist and they vanished into the night.
Kaname looked at me thoughtfully, "What do you think about the girl, the Angel Arias?" he asked curiosity evident in his voice but he was silently staring at me as he did so.
I thought for a moment then turned ocean blue eyes to meet his, "She doesn't smell human." I whispered the only accompanying sound was the rustle of leaves. Kaname nodded his head slightly and then slowly walked away, without so much as a backward glance at either me or where the two Hunters had disappeared too.
If Kaname agreed with me, then what is she?
READ & REVIEW: Yes, excellent question Aido, what is she? He's supposed to be the smartest vampire ever and even he doesn't know. I guess you will have to read to find out. (Aria has been at the Academy for about a week, so there was a time-skip but a brief one, will make sense in the next few chapters). The next Chapter will be this through Aria's eyes, let's find out why she didn't pull out the knife shall we?
Please read and tell me what you think…
