Chapter 13: Pull the Trigger?
"A gun?" Amu asked, holding up the silver gun.
"Yes, gun." Nikaidou says.
"What's this for?" she asks, turning to Ikuto's parents.
Aruto cleared his throat. "Well, recently, your life has been in danger because you have the 'Holy Blood'… and also because you're Ikuto's future wife."
Ikuto came to them with his cat, Yoru. He stroked the fur gently. The cat 'Nyaa'ed and 'Nyaa'ed. Nikaidou shuddered.
"Cats…" he muttered.
"Heard my name and came over." He said, putting the cat on the ground.
"Gun." Amu said, aiming it at the cat.
"Say, can I give it a try?" she asks, still aiming at the cat.
Nikaidou smirked. "Sure, go ahead."
Amu continued to aim at the cat. Ikuto's eyes widened. So did his parents'. Nikaidou waited excitedly while Amu licked her dry lips.
BANG!
The cat screeched and ran off. Amu giggled while Nikaidou slowly joined in. Ikuto sweat dropped.
"Erm, Amu… I think that's only for vampires." Ikuto said. His parents nodded.
"I know, but it was fun!" she said, now aiming at Ikuto.
"So, this is your protection weapon. Keep it safe, and get the bullets from Yuu." Aruto says.
"Okay!" she said. Then she stroked the cat's fur.
"Sorry, Yoru… didn't mean to scare you." She said. As though it understood, he cuddled around her.
"Aww, aren't you the cutest?" she asked. Nikaidou sneered.
"But be careful with it. You don't want anyone else to know about this." Aruto says. Amu nods.
Amu looks at the gun, then to Ikuto, then back at the gun and then back to Ikuto.
"Did you do this?" she asked. She pointed to a blue streak around the sides of the gun.
He shrugs. She sighs. "Well, it's good." She smiles, touching it.
He chuckles as he walked towards her. Then he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Gah!" she yells, surprised. He chuckles again and after that, she playfully pinches him.
"Ah, puppy love." Souko says. Aruto just nods.
THE TOKUTO RESIDENCE (THAT'S A FIRST)
Violet looked at the picture. It was her when she was younger. Her black hair was long, around the waist. She had a shy smile, but her green eyes sparkled slightly. She was hugging a white kitty plush doll. It was slightly brown because it was very old. On the left, it had an X to replace it's missing eye.
Then she looks behind. There was a similar doll, except it's black in color. It was still in good condition.
She sighed. Her favorite white doll was missing. She left it back home. That little doll was her best friend when she was a little girl. Till today, she still missed it so badly.
She sighed again. It was a gift from her mother. Her mother gave her a pair of them because…
"When you've found someone who you love and loves you back, give this black one to him and keep this white one for yourself. That way, the both of you would be a pair forever."
She looked at the black one. "In that case, I'll give mummy the black one." She said and her mother just laughed.
Thinking of her mother made her feel uncomfortable. She missed her so badly. The warm smile her mother always gave when she was a young girl, the flowers they planted when she felt lonely. Everything came back to her mind.
Without her realizing, she started to cry. Her eyes blurred her vision. She hid her face in her hands.
"Violet?"
She looked up. Ken walked closer to her and hugged her. "What's wrong?" he asks. She shook her head.
"Tell me." he said gently.
"Mummy." She said. "I miss mummy. I miss her so much." She said, and hugged him tightly.
He continues to comfort her, just like the way he did to Airin when she cried.
Airin, he thought about her again. The girl he loved. This girl who was crying, the image of her.
Slowly, he lifts her head up, she stares at him then closes her eyes.
And their lips slowly meet. He gently kisses her and she responds by kissing him back.
After they broke, Ken realized what he did.
"Sorry." He said. She shook her head. She stood up and looked for the picture.
"Where is it?" she thought. Little did she know, Ken had hid it. He looked at the white doll.
I'll get it for you, he thought.
THE NEXT DAY
LESSON ENDS
Amu looked around the first year's building. She wanted to wait for Violet. Then she saw a girl with black hair and a pink streak on the bangs.
"Violet-chan!" She waved. Violet looked up and smiled.
"Amu-senpai?" she called out. Amu smiled. "Ikuto's a jerk. He's leaving me today." She said, pouting.
Violet laughs. "Okay then. Since Ken-kun isn't here today, let's walk home together." Amu nods.
"Speaking of Ken, where is he?" Amu asks. Ken didn't come to school today.
"I'm not too sure myself. Hagui-san said he had some business. When I woke up, he wasn't home anymore." (Hagui is his servant. Awesome right?)
"I see." Amu said. As they walked, Amu made up some conversations and they laughed when Amu said something funny.
"Ne, Amu-senpai." Violet called.
"Hmm?" Amu replies. Violet didn't know how to say it. It was hard.
"Why does Tsukiyomi-senpai hate me?"
Amu stops. "Wh-What are you talking about?" Amu asks, shocked. Violet looks at Amu.
"The way he looks at me is different. Everytime I come close, he avoids me. When I say hi, he just nods. Is there something wrong? Does he hate me?" Violet asks.
Amu sighs. She looks at the other girl, then down, then she sighs again.
"I don't know how to tell you. It's not that he hates you. It's just…" Amu didn't know how to tell her.
"It's just… you look like his little sister." Amu says slowly. Violet looks at Amu as though she just said some foreign language.
"What?" Violet asks. "Didn't Ken tell you about all this?" Amu asks. Violet shook her head.
"I only know that I look like Ken-kun's ex-fiancée." She replied quietly. Amu's mouth opens, then closes back. She sighs again.
"Airin is Ikuto's little sister. She died and he didn't take it well. It was a pretty big blow for him." Amu said, looking down the whole time.
"The first time we saw you, Ikuto was pretty upset. He couldn't believe his eyes. Airin died when he was 13, she drowned and he blamed Ken for everything."
"Shortly, they became enemies because Ken said something unreasonable. And Ikuto never forgive Ken for what he did."
Violet didn't say anything. "But, I thought he hates me."
Amu gave a small smile and shook her head. "It's the opposite. He cares for you. He doesn't want the same thing that happened to Airin. Sometimes, he'll asks me about you."
Violet realized her mistake and she blushed. "Can you tell him I'm sorry?" she asks. Amu nods and smiles. "Don't worry. I'm sure he'll understand."
"Violet, there's another thing I want to talk to you about." Amu said. Violet looks up.
"About what?" Violet asks.
"It's about…" her sentence didn't finish because Amu felt the lock vibrate.
"Oh shit." She muttered.
"What? What's wrong?" Violet asks.
Amu takes out something from her bag. It was the silver gun.
"Gun?" Violet points at it.
"Gun." Amu nods.
"Oh, a gun. How interesting." A woman's voice was heard.
"Come out!" Amu yelled. Slowly, they heard a swooshing sound behind them.
Amu aims the gun at the vampire. The vampire smirked.
"So, it's the prince's bride. And who's this?" she asks, holding Violet's chin up.
"Let her go!" Amu kicks the hand. The vampire winces, then chuckles.
"I don't know what the bride sees in you. Oh, I think I do. It's your blood. That's why he wants to marry you!" she laughs.
Amu aims the gun again. She was a little nervous but it wasn't time for her to feel that way.
"Violet! Stand behind me!" she yelled. Violet obeys.
Amu points it at the vampire. "Well, you're gonna regret for saying that." She says. The vampire stared at it, then gulped.
Amu smirked. "Now you're afraid, aren't ya?" Amu asks haughtily. She has never felt this proud.
"Say bye bye." Amu says and gets ready to shoot.
CLICK.
That was the only sound the gun produced. A click.
"What?" Amu pulls the trigger again. The same sound was heard.
Amu sweat dropped. "Why won't it…"
"Amu-senpai, are you sure the bullets are filled?" Violet asks.
"Huh? Bullets?" Amu thought. Then she snapped her fingers. "I was practicing the whole day yesterday I forgot to get another set of them from Nikaidou."
"So you're saying that the gun's empty?" Violet asks, eyes wide.
"Ehe, yeah." Amu cheekily says. Then she remembers the vampire.
"Are you playing games with me?" the woman asks fiercely.
"RUN!" Amu yelled. Violet gets up and follows Amu.
"Okay, run with all your might. We have to go to public and the vampire will ignore us." Amu says. Violet nods.
But the vampire was faster than them. She was already in front of them.
"Oh crap!" Amu cursed.
"Hahaha! Too bad! So, if you don't mind me… ITADAKIMASU!" she yells and heads for Violet.
BANG!
Amu looks up and she sees a figure with blue hair.
"Geez, Amu. I told you to get another set of bullets." A husky voice called out to her.
"Sorry, I forgot." She mumbled then she remembered Violet.
"You okay?" she asks. Violet nods.
"Let me see." Ikuto takes her left arm and lifts it up. There were scratch marks on her elbow.
"You have band-aid?" Ikuto asks Amu. She nods and gives it to him.
5 minutes later, Violet's elbow was bandaged.
"Th-Thank you Tsukiyomi-senpai." She thanked him. He just nodded.
"Be careful. Wash it when you get home." He says. She nods.
"Thank you." She thanks again then she looks at Amu. Amu winks at her and gives a 'I Told You So!' look. She smiles.
TOKUTO RESIDENCE
"Ken-kun?" Violet calls as she opens the door. Ken was sleeping on her bed. She blushed.
Then she looks at her table. And she thought she was dreaming when she saw it.
Her little kitty doll when she was a little girl. It was slightly more brown and under it was a note.
Keep it safe
Violet looks at Ken. Then she smiles.
"Thank you, Ken-kun." And she slowly puts the black doll next to him.
When you've found someone who you love and loves you back, give this black one to him and keep this white one for yourself. That way, the both of you would be a pair forever.
SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! I didn't have time to do the script. So that was chapter 13. Please review!
