Misaki's Pov
Why was everyone leaving now? Takuma had left early this year, Aido had left two days ago to find him, now Shiki and Rima were going away to find Aido!
I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, what was going on? What could possibly be happening now? Obviously something to do with Sara the pureblood, but what?
"Misaki! I found those shoes!" Yuki yelled happily as she flung my door open.
"It took you two days to find a pair of shoes?" I sat up and raised an eyebrow, "Maybe you should stop letting Kaname buy you things, that or get a more organized wardrobe."
"Wow," She sighed, shuffling her feet and looking down at the floor, "You're really moody lately."
I let my head fall back on the big plump pillows, "I'm sorry Yuki, I'm scared for Aido."
She nodded and sat with me on the bed, "I understand Misaki. Kaname says we shouldn't worry, they all should be fine, they can protect themselves."
"I wish I was with them." I turned on my side and grabbed the pillow as if I was hugging someone, maybe that's all I needed, or was it that I needed someone in particular to hold me? "I wish I could protect us all."
Yuki lay on the other side and gave me a look, one that only I knew, pillow fight! She would do anything to cheer me up.
"Aggh!" I yelled as she grabbed the pillow quickly and started hitting me with it, I put my arms up in defence and giggled. Looking about for a pillow, I grabbed the biggest one and was about to hit her with it when we felt another pillow from nowhere hit us both, we looked up from where the pillow came from to see Kaname stood in the doorway smiling. An actual smile. Maybe he was happy to see Yuki laughing again.
Yuki saw this as a chance to play with him which happened rarely; she looked to me as if to say 'can I?' I nodded and Yuki ran at Kaname with a pillow giggling. They both ran off down the corridor leaving me alone again. I sighed, my heart felt heavy again, maybe I shouldn't be alone tonight, I wonder if Ruka will stay with me?
Takuma/Aido's POV
She's really just going to lock us in this room?
It looks like it Aido. We need to just stay calm and figure what we are going to do.
Just kill her!
Aido..
Fine..what are we going to do?
For once..I don't know.
Well we have to think of something! What about Misaki?
My mind wondered to her face, her smile and those eyes, I sighed, I needed to protect her.
Too right we do!
Ok so we..
What's wrong Ichijo?
I looked over to the bed, there lay a familiar figure. My body. I went over and touched my hand hoping I would go back into my own body. Nothing.
"Ah, poor Aido." I turned, Sara stood in the doorway giving me a cynical smile, "Or poor Takuma should I say."
"Get me into my own body now!" I nearly shouted, Aido's anger wasn't helping either; my rage made me start to feel flushed and dizzy.
"Well I guess we can make a deal." She glided over and raised an eyebrow, "I'm sure you will accept Takuma."
"My own body?"
"To keep you a little longer." She tilted her head, amused she giggled and made a circle around me.
"Aido, you can go back, speak of this to no one." She whispered in my ear, "Otherwise your little wife shall be dinner for my lovely girls."
I flinched, Aido was trying to control his own body, seemed he wasn't too happy, I felt my fist clench and I tried to calm Aido down in my mind.
I will kill her Takuma!
I know your angry Aido, please keep calm, do as she says and it will be ok.
What about you! Misaki misses you, we all do!
Aido, for now we need to protect Misaki and Yuki, don't we?
Ok…
Misaki's POV
"Shiki! Rima!" I hugged them both close as they came through the main door.
"Whoa, mind the hair." Rima whined.
"Well?" I stepped back, wanting to hear where they had been and if they found Aido or Takuma.
They looked at each other before looking down nervously, "Well, we followed for a while but lost them, they are definitely together." Shiki answered.
"Well, that's good! Right?" I smiled, trying to keep optimistic. So what if they lost them, I knew they weren't hurt.
"They are both with Sara." Rima stated, my heart sank, I knew she had something to do with this!
"We need to go there now and get them!" I said grabbing my coat, as I opened the main door, someone stepped in.
"Misaki." His blue eyes made me feel safe and full again.
"Aido!" I felt tears come to my eyes and I wrapped my arms around him and held him tight. "Are you ok?"
Shiki and Rima behind me looked at Aido with questionable eyes.
Aido looked at the floor, his heart was heavy with something, where was Takuma?
"Aido?" I whispered, he looked up at me slowly, making a little false smile.
"I'm fine, Misaki." He kissed the top of my head and held me tighter. Maybe I shouldn't ask questions yet, Shiki and Rima sensed this too and left.
But there was more eyes watching us behind us, I turned to see Yuki and Kaname, Aido looked at his leader with sorrowful eyes, as if asking for help. Kaname nodded, reached for his long black coat and turned to Yuki, he cupped her chin and held up her face and kissed her gently.
"I have to leave, be careful, Aido, Misaki" he looked up, "Keep her safe."
Immediately Ruka and Kain were behind him in their coats read to leave with him. Yuki never said anything, just watched with sad eyes as he left.
"Misaki, please keep her safe." He whispered as he passed me.
I nodded, I was her protector.
Now Kaname, Ruka and Kain was gone the mansion lost its safeness, even curled up next to Aido I found it hard to sleep. And for some reason, I knew not to ask questions, Aido was weak when he arrived back, his mind and his body. I lay with him stroking back his hair and watching him sleep.
"He loves you, you know." He whispered, opening his eyes to look at me.
"Who?"
"Ichijo, I felt it. It was so strong." He murmured, still sleepy he rubbed his eyes. "Makes me look a real mug!"
"Well, he's not here, is he?" I opposed.
"Oh, he would if he could Misaki."
His eyes closed again and he fell asleep. My heart thumping in my chest, had Takuma said something to Aido?
"But.. I love you." He whispered in his sleep, and my heart broke.
