Sorry this is late. I didn't manage my time well, so the next chapter for "Cookies, Cakes, and Cigarettes" will also be late. But, I decided that I would do this. Continue the one week update for "Stupid Womanizer" and do a two week update for "Cookies, Cakes, and Cigarettes". Meaning, one update every two weeks. So anyway, on with the chapter!

"Are you sure you cant stay longer?" my mom asked, hugging me good bye. "Yeah, Aido is agitated and I feel bad that I cut his visit with his parents short." I said as she stepped away from the car, where I sat in the passenger seat. "Can you tell dad to stop his worrying? He's not going to see Yori ever again." I said, settling down in my seat as Aido slipped in beside me in the driver's side. "Hmm, all right." she said, skeptical that that would happen. "Bye mom! Bye Haku! See you guys on summer brake!" I yelled out the open window as Aido drove away from the house. Leaving the sun behind as we went back to the academy.

On the same day, I had been discharged from the hospital the day after my leg had been broken, again. I could see Aido was more agitated than I was, and wanted to leave what happened behind. I didn't argue, partly because I saw that what happened, upset him more than it did me. To me, Yori was gone, and I didn't have to go through it ever again. But Aido blamed himself for what happened. He argued with me that if he had gone with, I wouldn't have been injured like this. To which I said back, that if he had gone with me, Haku would have gotten hurt, and I didn't want that to happen.

After an hour of driving in silence, Aido spoke up. "So, how did you meet with my mother?" he asked, looking straight ahead. "It was after your sister's gave me that make-over. She wondered who was screaming, and then she asked if I was the girl you brought home." I said, looking at his face carefully. "Did…did she like you?" he asked hesitantly. "Yeah, she warmed up to me after we talked for awhile." I said, smiling at the memory. Aido stiffened, and he looked to the side. "W-what did you talk about?" he asked, a little hesitantly.

'So this is what he's getting at.' I thought amused. "We just talked about how we met, and all that." I said, watching him. He relaxed a bit. "You know, a lot of your family seem to think that you like to tease me." I said, looking out the side window, a smirk on my face. "Oh no." I heard him say quietly. I smiled and continued. "Your mom gave me a few photos of when you were younger, and your sisters gave me plenty of baby pictures." I said, laughing a little. I looked at his face and saw how dark and red his blush was, despite it being already dark. "Which ones?" he asked, the blush on his face darkening, if that was even possible.

"Let me put it this way. You loved bath time, and you hated wearing your baby clothes." I said, laughing afterward., remembering the first time I had seen the pictures. "Oh God!" he exclaimed, bumping his head on steering wheel after slowing down a little so as not to swerve. "Ha ha! Don't worry Hanabusa, your…erm…private area was still covered. And you looked very cute." I said, leaning towards his ear and whispering the last part. "And besides, you brought it on yourself. You created your own reputation for teasing people." I said smiling.

"How many do you have?" he asked, a little dejectedly, looking back up at the road as we neared the academy. "Enough to make sure you don't tease me that much anymore." I said, leaning my head back on the head rest. " 'That much?' You like being teased." he said, looking at me from the side with a grin on his face. I turned me head away and blushed slightly, further confirming his statement.

"So what did you tell the headmaster?" I asked as he stopped near the gate, where a very distressed headmaster was clinging to the bars of the gate, and crying a mini pool of tears. "Just the basics." Aido said, parking the car beside the gate and getting out to get the wheel chair. Meanwhile, the headmaster had already rushed out of the gates and opened the car door on my side. "Hikari! What happened! Are you okay?" he gushed upon seeing my broken leg. "Yeah, I'm fine headmaster. It'll be better in a few…months." I said, choking a bit on the word months. 'It sounds worse when you say it out loud.' I thought, climbing out of the car and balancing on my one good foot as Aido got the chair out.

"I miss my crutches." I whined as I sat down in the chair. "It's only for a few weeks while your bones heal." Aido said, silently mocking what I had said yesterday, about it not being so bad. "That was before, this is now." I said, pouting I little. He smiled and bent down, biting my bottom lip. "You should pout more often." he said, leaning down and kissing me again. We stayed like that for a while before we heard two sounds. One was the sound a camera makes when it takes a picture. The second was the quiet click of a gun, followed by a not so quiet whack on the head.

When Aido let go of my tongue and looked behind him, letting me see too, we both saw my camera in the hands of a smiling headmaster, Zero, looking angry, and irritated, with his hand tucked inside his jacket, his gun pulled halfway out, and Yuuki lecturing Zero about something or another. It went along the lines of 'Not shooting the Night Class students' and 'Not shooting two people in love' and all. "So what happened to her, vampire? Is it your fault she has a broken leg?" Zero asked, putting the gun away while glaring begrudgingly at Aido. Aido looked down at the ground and put a hand on the back of my chair.

"It wasn't his fault. And further more, it's none of your business what happened." I said, sitting up straighter in my chair and glaring at Zero. "It's my business whether or not a Night Class student hurts a Day Class student." Zero said, turning his glare on me. 'Now I know why the Day Class girls are afraid of Zero.' I thought. Compared to Zero, my glare looked like the look a middle school girl gave her first crush. "Who said the vampire who hurt me was him?" I said quietly, leaning back in the chair. The question took him by surprise, and there was a flash of pity in his eyes before they turned cold like before. "Sorry." he muttered, looking away.

I didn't say anything, no one did. The headmaster decided to brake the silence after it grew uncomfortable. "Zero. Stop pestering Hikari-chan about that, and please get their bags. Now let's go to my office so we can talk more. You two must be tired after all that happened." he said, directing looking at me and Aido.

"Sorry to burden you like this." I said, as Aido went behind me and pushed the chair forward towards the school. "I don't mind." he said quietly. I tilted my head back and looked up at him. He saw this and looked down at me. He smiled a small, sad smile. I lifted my hand up and gave him a motion that said 'come here'. He leaned down a bit so his head was next to mine. I got close to the side of his face, making it look like I was telling him something, but instead bit his ear. He jerked away from the sudden motion and looked at me, a small blush spreading across his face. "Don't make such a sad smile. It doesn't suit." I said, nuzzling the side of his face. I felt his face heat up under mine, and then we heard the unmistakable click of a camera.

"Okay, give me the camera." I said, reaching out my hand for the camera. The headmaster smiled and dropped the camera in the my hand. He turned and kept walking. When we got to the office, Zero and Yuuki were gone. "Hey. Where did they go?" I asked, when Aido and I entered the office. "They went to take your bags back to your rooms." the headmaster said, sitting behind his desk while Aido wheeled me between the two chairs in front of it, while Aido sat down next to me in one of said chairs. "So, would you mind telling me what happened?" he said, suddenly becoming uncharacteristically serious.

I looked off to the side, and said "I thought you said you weren't going to ask about that." Aido saw my discomfort and laid his hand on mine. "With all due respect sir, with what happened over the last few days, Hikari shouldn't have to relive the details of this event." Aido said. "I understand, but I just want to know what happened. If it makes you feel better Hikari, Aido-kun and I could talk outside." the headmaster said gently. I nodded my head, not bothering to look up as they got up and left the room.

I heard their voices muffled outside the door. After a while, I heard Aido's voice get louder, and a little desperate. Then I heard the headmaster's voice, soothing and gentle calm him down. After a few minutes, they came back in, and sat down again. The headmaster changed his expression from quiet worry to sudden happiness. "So Hikari, about your sleeping accommodations." he said, folding his hands on the desk. "I think you should stay in my guest room here until you can use your crutches again since your room is on the third floor. How long did the doctors say you had to be in a wheelchair?" he asked. "Two or three weeks. What about classes?" I asked, not sure how I could get up to my seat in the back row anymore.

"You should probably take a week or so off of school, I'm sure the recent events have taken a toll on your mind." he said, becoming a little more serious. "What about homework?" I asked. "I'll have one of your classmates bring you it." he said easily. "What if I don't know what to do?" I asked. I didn't want to miss school anymore than necessary. "Just ask Aido-kun to help you. He is one of the top students in his class after all." he said.

"Just call me Aido-sensei." Aido said, smiling gleefully at me. I smiled at him in return, and reached into my pocket, pulling out a small number of glossed photos. "Headmaster, do you want to see some photos?" I asked him sweetly. "Never mind, never mind!" Aido said loudly, grabbing for the photos. I laughed and kissed his blushing cheek, pocketing the pictures. "Well, goodnight you two, just follow Yuuki to the guest room." the headmaster said, pointing behind us and smiling. 'When did she come in?' I thought, looking behind myself at her. "Good night headmaster Cross." I said, Aido wheeling me out of the office, following Yuuki down the hall.

"So Yuuki, how was your brake?" I asked, as she opened the door to the guest room. "It was fun, we went to the tropics." she said, smiling. "How was yours?" she asked in return, letting Zero in, carrying my bag. "Where's mine?" Aido asked, folding his arms and standing next to me. "It's at the Moon Dorm. Now come on. The headmaster wanted me to escort you back there." Zero said with bitterness in his voice. "I don't want to go back there." Aido said, his voice lowering considerably and full of sadness. But almost instantly, he was back to his old self. "So I wont be going back. I want to stay here with Hikari." he said, turning away from Zero. "Yuuki, get a rope, we're dragging him back." Zero said, pushing up his sleeves.

Aido quickly ran out of the room, followed by a very angry Zero. "When do you think they'll be back?" I asked Yuuki, as we looked out the window of my room at them. "Knowing Zero, it should take a few minutes." Yuuki said, sighing at the childishness of them both. "Yeah, but Aido's sneaky. He's probably doing this to piss Zero off." I said, looking away from the window towards the door. I turned the chair around and wheeled myself towards the door. "Hey, Yuuki, can you get the door please?" I asked, turning my head to look at her.

She was still looking out the window, but her mind didn't seem to be all there. It took me several tries to catch her attention. "Huh? What were you saying?" she asked, opening the door for me. "I asked if they were coming back anytime soon." I said, going down the hallway with her towards the living room. "They should be here soon. I saw Aido-senpai running back here." she said, as we turned a corner into the living room, and saw Aido sitting comfortably on the couch, and Zero panting, and kneeling on the ground.

"Don't do unnecessary things." he panted. Yuuki laughed a little nervously, and said "If you don't want to stay in the dorm, then we'll set up the other guest room for you. Or you can stay in Zero's room."

"Never!" they said at the same time. By that time, I had wheeled myself over to the edge of the couch where Aido sat. when I got there, he grabbed and held my hand. "Cant I stay with Hikari?" Aido whined like a spoiled three-year-old. "No." Zero said bluntly. "I think that would go against school rules Aido-senpai." Yuuki said, quickly explaining. Aido pouted, and I smiled. 'He's so cute when he pouts.' I thought. Then I remembered that I had taken my camera back from the headmaster. I turned it on and snapped a picture. Aido heard the click, and turned towards me, a quizzical expression on his face. "What? You're cute when you pout." I said matter-of-factly.

His eyes widened and his face turned a light pink. I laughed and took another picture. "St-stop that!" he said, blushing red and pouting again. I took another picture. "Then stop making cute expressions!" I said, laughing while he swiped the camera away from me. He blushed again and pocketed the camera before he said he was hungry. Yuuki, probably out of habit or past experience, hid behind the doorway. "No drinking blood on school grounds." Zero said glaring at Aido before glancing, or rather glaring, at me. "I'll eat human food. There's no need for you guys to be so worked up. Besides, I cant drink Hikari's blood anyway." he said, sinking into the couch with a slightly irritated expression.

"Why not?" Yuuki asked, coming out from hiding behind the wall. "I'd rather not talk about it." Aido said. "Do you want anything to eat?" Zero asked while Yuuki tried to get Aido to tell. "Oh, yeah, sure. Thanks." I said, Zero nodded and went off towards the kitchen. "For the last time: I'm not telling you!" Aido said loudly. "Fine. I'm going to go check on dinner." Yuuki said, giving in. when she left the room, Aido sighed and said, "Why is she so persistent about the reason?"

"She probably wanted to know because it's rare for you to deny blood." I said, leaning forward and resting my head on my hands. It was quiet for a while, with only the sounds of something being chopped, and something else being washed in the background. "You know, I wouldn't mind if you drank just a little." I said quietly out of embarrassment. Aido looked at me for a minute, before a cheeky grin spread across his face. "Hikari-chan, do you like having your blood drunk?" he asked. "I-I didn't say that!" I said quickly, stuttering. Even if I denied it, it was true. The soft pain and slight dizziness from the lack of blood, had given way to something I enjoyed. Sort of like a pleasure. The more I thought about it, the more I felt my face heat up, and I knew Aido could see the blush on my face.

Aido leaned away from the couch, and pressed the side of his face against mine. "I'd be happy to drink any time you want me to Hikari-chan." he whispered in my ear before kissing down my neck. "You just have to ask." he said again, licking the sweet spot on my neck. My breath caught in my throat and my face heated up again. A small sound of pleasure escaped my mouth. I felt his fangs graze my neck, I anticipated the piercing of my skin before it happened. But, before he could bite down, Yuuki's voice rang out. "Dinner's ready!"

It jolted us out of the trance the heat of the moment had put us in. I felt Aido sigh against my neck before he pulled back. "Later?" he asked, nuzzling my face, that was still blushing madly. I couldn't say anything, so instead I nodded my head mechanically. He laughed low in my ear and kissed my quick on the lips, before he got up off the couch and rolled me into the dining room.

After dinner, which manly consisted of Aido eating enough for three people, and me, wondering where exactly he put it all, I went back to my room to sleep, and Aido went to take a bath. I don't know what happened after that. But I woke up in the middle of the night when I heard my door slam. I looked up at the door and saw Aido walking away from it. "Aido? You woke me up." I said still half asleep. I sat up in the bed and rubbed my eyes. "Sorry." he said quietly. I looked at him then, and saw him a little worse for wear. Mostly his expression. He looked a little more worried than before, and it looked like his mind was a million miles away.

"What's wrong? Do you want to talk about it?" I asked, motioning for him to sit on the bed. "No, it's nothing." he said, sitting down. I waited for him to speak again, but he didn't. I scooted closer to him and turned his face towards me. I kissed him softly, and pulled away. "If it's nothing, then don't make such a sad face." I said softly, kissing him again. He kissed me back, and cupped my cheek. After a minute, he broke the kiss and trailed his lips down my neck. He licked my sweet spot again, and I felt his fangs graze my skin. I felt them bite down sharply, eliciting a small gasp from me.

He drank deeply, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, tangling my fingers in his hair and pulling him closer. While he drank, he trailed one of his hands down the side of my chest, stopping at my waist. His fingers played at the edge of my shirt before they slipped underneath. His touch was cool and made my skin tingle where he touched it. He trailed his fingers across my stomach, making me squeak in surprise. He detached his fangs from my neck and kissed the wound tenderly. My vision was a little blurred, but cleared up almost immediately. I looked at him through half-lidded eyes. His eyes were red, that dulled to his natural blue, and they looked down to where his other hand had traveled.

While I was dizzy with pleasure, Aido had laid me down on the bed, still on top of me while he drank my blood. I looked down to where he was looking. He had rolled my shirt above my stomach to just under my chest. He was trailing his fingers along my stomach, making it tingle from the touch. I blushed a light red, and in doing so, I reached my hands up to my face to hide it. What he did next surprised me, and med me blush several shades of red in one second.

He leaned his head down, and kissed my stomach, again and again, going up to the edge of my shirt before he lifted his head up and took my hands away from my face, and kissed me. I still tingled from the touches, and I didn't move from surprise. He pulled away and looked at me worriedly. "Are you alright? I didn't startle you or scare you, did I?" he asked, quietly. "N-no. I-it's just t-that…um…I-I'm not used to it." I said quietly, my face hot. "You didn't like it?" he asked again, moving off of me to rest on his side on the bed. "I-I…I l-liked it." I said, barely a whisper. I was embarrassed by what I said soon after, so I turned away from him, and tried to hide my face.

His arms wrapped around me and pulled me closer to him. "So beautiful." he whispered in my ear while he buried his face in my hair. I blushed the smallest bit this time at what he said. I turned around to face him and wrapped my arms back around his neck. "I love you, Hanabusa." I said, burring my face in his chest. He hugged me closer to him. "I love you, too, Hikari."
