21: After
I don't own VK and its rightful owners anything else belongs to NR13
After he finishes telling us he leaves because he has things to do so leaving Takuma and I alone in my room. I try to ignore him while I finish putting the bandage on when he comes up to me.
"So what's the real reason why you're siding with us? I know that the excuse you used isn't the real reason I know you that much." I cross my arms over my chest and look at him.
"Ha so you know then." He pretty much inches closer to me to the point that his faces in mine.
"Because of me?" I ask then he nods.
"I know that I don't compare to Zero I know that you still love him and he claims to love you but if he really did then would he have done all of the things he did to you? Make you shed so many tears that you couldn't take it anymore? That's not what a relationship should be Akahanna." He grabs the side of my face then runs his thumb over the cut. My eyes drop because I know that he's right but I just don't know.
"You don't understand Takuma." I look back at him but he offers a small smile.
"You know that we're not supposed to call each other by our first names unless if we're in an intimate relationship." He points out by pulling me closer to him to the point that I'm up against his chest. Something in me stirs
"Then why would you always call me by my first name and not Ceil?" I dare but his smile widens
"Because I always wanted to be something more to you." He kisses me like the first time but this time he doesn't pull back but then he deepens it by pulling me more up against him as if he's afraid that I'll slip away. I pull his face towards me when his tongue slides into my mouth pushing me against the wall so once when I'm cornered his hands slide from my the small of my back to my shoulders tracing my body's curves. My hands run down his chest taking off his jacket but as soon as its off he stops then whispers into my ear
"I noticed that you recently started calling me by my first name before I confessed to you and when we were back at the Academy so tell me Akahanna, have your feelings changed towards me?" He looks at me then I see that he's wearing a tight black shirt that outline his chest and torso that are sketched with muscles making goose bumps race over my skin. "I'm waiting," he teases but I push him off playfully.
"You're so full of yourself you know that right?" I laugh making him smirk so we sit down on the couch getting the laptops started so we can check on what the Senate posted online because Sara's death's all over the Vampire Society News on TV.
I push the screen down while the laptop loads so I glance over at Takuma.
"You have anything yet?" I ask but he shakes his head.
"No, my account isn't working meaning that they're catching on that I'm with you guys." I nod opening the screen back up once when the laptop dings meaning its done. I type in the Senate's website and click on the recent article that appears on the list.
"Look at this," I motion him to look so he leans over and we read the article
"Takuma Ichjio has disappeared after the slaughter of Sara Shirabuki and based on witnesses at the scene he was last seen entering the same room where Sara was found slaughtered so the Guard was sent to investigate and they've confirmed that he has left with Kaname and Akahanna after they killed Sara. Questions arise more than answers; why didn't they kill Kaminari Amaterasu when they had the chance? Why didn't they also kill Yuki Kuran? The Senate has also declared that Takuma has been captured/went missing so now the Senate, the Guard, and Vampire Hunter Association have joined forces to capture the deadly criminals. The man hunt will start soon; Aketo Ceil has been cleared as a suspect because evidence has shown that he had no involvement with the slaughtering. The real question is will Kaname Kuran and Akahanna Ceil be captured in time before they murder everyone?"
"Why aren't they suspecting that I've joined forces with you guys?" Takuma questions but I shrug
"Maybe they suspect that you're not helping us because your family has been in the Senate ever since it was created but yet again they might know but just want you to become a double spy so that way they can track our movements and try to intervene before anything happens." I reason
"True but if that was really the case they would have contacted me by now don't you think?"
"You're right but knowing Fang and Kaien they want to catch us off guard to contact you once when we get comfortable with you being our accomplice." I sit back in my chair thinking like how Fang would if I was in his shoes.
"But knowing Kaien he would have tried to resort this as soon as possible because he cares about all 3 of us so this isn't making any sense." that's when it hits me straight across the face
"What if Kaien isn't allowed to take any action because of that reason? Because they know he'll be thinking with his emotions at heart so they prohibited him and replaced him?" He's about to say something when Kaname storms in.
"They sent out Yuki and Zero to hunt us down. I tracked their scents heading towards the old Kuran Mansion so Akahanna I need you to make an appearance to draw their attention away from their because if they set up their we're at a disadvantage. They'll be able to find our scents from there. Hurry!" I stand up to get ready when Takuma whines out
"Let me go with her! I want to help!"
Kaname shakes his head, "I'm sorry but I need you to help me to look out for other hideouts if anything goes wrong; besides you're an Aristocrat I can't risk sending you going up against a Vampire Hunter and a PureBlood, Akahanna can take them on now get going!" he says the last part to me so I gear up, put on Kaname's trench coat that's encased with his scent and sprint over to the Kuran Mansion.
