Did anyone think that my story was complete? I bet at least a few of you did! Lol, that's ok. I understand why. Well I'm not done… I haven't broke Cain's heart yet! ^_^

Who is She
Chapter 28
(From… Shido's POV…at first…. I think)
~~~~~~~~~
In all my life, I have never seen Cain or Ta…err… Aaron getting along so well, or being so happy for that matter,
But…
I knew this wouldn't last. Cain would not in the end get what it is he wishes for. And that was for Aaron and me to stay here with him for all eternity. We both had lives and friends who probably are missing us deeply. Nightbreeds to kill, I bet they are having such a good time killing innocent humans and jacking their bodies. Taking advantage of the fact neither one of us were there to stop them.
It was sad really. To see Aaron so very happy now, to think that when she would leave all this would be shattered, like an old mirror, so very fragile. I would never see her smile or laugh like this again.
Two days have past since that happy night. And we now were going to that ball. Getting ready for it really.
I was in the room I had awoken in. I had decided to wear a dark green satin shirt, blue pants, and a long blue coat with golden designs across the back and front. I fastened a silk green hair tie into my hair, pulling it back like it normally is.
After all this I made my way to the grand staircase of the castle. Cain was leaning on the railing with his arms crossed waiting. He had a walking cane in one of his hands, it was black with a gold top, was it a lions head with ruby eyes?
Cain's holding a cane… I thought to myself with a smirk.
I walked over to him and leaned on the railing too. I glanced at him, he really looked rather handsome with those black pants, a little shorter coat then mine...which was black too, and a white silk shirt and red velvet vest. Oh, and black silk ribbon tying back his hair.
Damn he looks good in that… I thought again to myself…Cain turned his eyes to me and most likely noticed that I was staring. I turned my head away; a little heat became felt on my face.
I then heard a quiet chuckle come from him. He moved closer to me, pulling my face to his. Cain's lips touched mine in a gently kiss.
He pulled away, "I think you look good too, dear." He whispered
His kisses didn't disgust me as much anymore. They just took me by surprise.
"Where's Aaron?" I asked still rather close to him.
"Right here." Said another voice that caught us both by surprise.
We both turned our heads to see someone, who at first glance didn't look like Aaron or Tao. She was wearing a blue dress! It fit her body's figure nicely. With two straps, one was going over each shoulder. Her hair neatly done, the only make-up I saw on her was lipstick. Aaron also had a pair of long gloves going up just above her elbow.
"Aaron? Is that you?" I asked playfully.
"Yes, it is, Mrs. Shido." She shot back.
"…" I opened my mouth to respond but I stopped when Cain started to walk over to her. He circled her like a shark a few times before stopping on her left side, staring at something. I heard that cane of his come in contact the ground.
"What is this?" He said pointing to her shoulder, well, just below it anyway.
I moved closer to see what 'this' is. He was asking about a tattoo just below her shoulder I've never seen before. Of course she always did wear long sleeve shirts and coats.
This tattoo was of two black dragons out-lined in red facing one another.
"It's a tattoo I've had for at least 50 years." She answered
"I see…" Cain said, I don't think he liked the idea of Aaron having a tattoo…but wait; didn't Cain personally lick each of her wounds earlier in our stay? Why didn't he see it till now? Oh well, at least the tattoo isn't a picture of Cain's face with a red circle around it and a red 'X' through it. That would have really pissed him off…
He moved away and started for the stairs.
"Well, come along you two. We're going to be late." Cain said walking down the stairs.
We followed him to the front door where he opened for us. As we walked through a carriage pulled up. The driver was a vampire, which was plain and simple. I had seen this carriage before…yes, it was the same one Cain and myself rode in so very long ago. I remember riding in it after a successful hunt. We'd come back and…well…you know…
The driver came off his seat and opened the door. I was the first one to go in, and then Aaron was helped in, last was Cain. The door was shut and the cab shook at bit as the driver made his way to the driver's seat.
The ride was bumpy. Aaron was leaning on Cain who didn't mind. I still couldn't believe Aaron was wearing a dress.

Later
~~~~~~~~~~
We came to a stop in front of a rather large castle. The door opened and we stepped out. We made our way to thee front door. Two guards were kind enough to open the doors for us. Cain stepped back behind us and told us to go in first. Neither one of us moved forward, so he gently hit our heels with his cane, when we finally went inside we saw many, many people dancing and talking.
As we walked into the room together and down the stairs a man came forward. He had short red hair and was as tall as Cain; he wore red silk and velvet suit.
"Glad to see could make it, Cain. How has everything been lately? I hear you've been having a few troubles with your Court." He said extended his hand to Cain. Cain moved from behind us to in front of us and took this man's hand.
"A pleasure to see you again too, Lord Amyen." Cain greeted, "Everything has been quite eventful these past few days. As for the troubles, it's just a few fledglings in one those moments where they think they're on top of the world. Nothing to bad."
"I'm glad," This Amyen then glanced at us, "And…who are these two creatures? I only recognize one being that run-away, but the other, I don't know."
"Yes, he is that run-away I've been after for a while now, but he came home," Not of free will… I thought to myself, "This girl though, is my daughter, Aaron. She just came back from a stay with friends, so that would be the reason I haven't said anything about her."
Amyen took a long look at Aaron before turning back to Cain.
"I bet they both will have men and women wanting to come home with them after tonight, because they're so beautiful." I saw Aaron get a little red after that comment.
"I certainly hope not. I don't want to have to chase anyone away tonight." Cain replied. They both started to laugh.
Amyen walked away into the crowd. Cain turned to us saying that he wouldn't be with us for a good time because of his master vampire duties. He said that we should stay together so no one else could separate us.
And that's how it when most of the time. Aaron and me would stay at the edges of the dance floor watching Cain dance with lots of people, at time we ourselves danced together (me and Aaron). A times Cain would come at dance with one of us. When he was dancing with Aaron I couldn't help but catch the glimpses of young women not for from me smiling and giggling at me. A lot of times they touched me as I walked by. This made me wonder if all these people really were vampires…
The same would happen to Aaron. She'd be sitting down watching Cain and me and men would come to her flirting and hitting on her, but she ignored them. When I was with her we'd pretend to be in love. It'd scare away the flirting men and women. At this we'd laugh together.
