Chapter 35
"Do you have to go out…today?" Aiyora hesitantly asked buttoning up her husband's over coat.
She was a little nervous after all according to her knowledge none of the servants were home except for the chauffeur. Nina went to visit her family and Mr. and Mrs. Marino were called due to a family emergency. Thus she will be all alone in this large manor. But what she did not know was that her husband was no fool surely he was not leaving her alone, he asked Seiran to watch over her but from far.
"I will not be long." He said picking up the brief-case. "Lock the door properly and stay inside," he said pecking onto her lips and continued to instruct her while the back of his hand tenderly rubbed against her skin taking in its moisture. "And remember; do not open the door to any knocks. I have my own keys so you do not have to worry about me."
Just as Kaname was about the exit Aiyora's voice stopped him on the tracks. "Eyan! We actually do not have food for dinner."
"I will bring something on my way back then." He responded thinking she wanted outside food.
"No, there is no need for that." Aiyora said stepping forwards. "I was planning on cooking anyways I just wanted to know if there is anything you have been craving for a long, I will make that for dinner."
For a moment Kaname Kuran was actually taken aback by the question. He gave it a little time to think and then gave her the most weirdest answer she could have ever received to a question she asked.
"How about some rice and vegetable stir fry." The smile from Aiyora's lips disappeared. To her it sounded more like sick joke, after all who the hell answers that when you ask them about their craving. No the question is who on earth actually craves such kind of basic food?
"Is that your favourite food?" Aiyora could not stop herself from asking it sounded too unreal.
"Actually yes," Kaname responded with a smile kissing her fore head. It may sound odd coming out of his mouth but nobody has ever asked him what he wanted to eat. In this life time he was served the best dishes made by the finest of chef everywhere he dined but no one even bothered to ask him what he actually craved to eat. They always assumed he would prefer the expensive food coming from the rich royal background.
"I know you are finding it hard to believe, but you are the first person who genuinely asked me what I wanted to eat and that is what I am craving for."
"But…it's so simple." A small laugh left Kaname's lips hearing that.
He took Aiyora's hand and placed it over his beating heart, "I don't know how their view me but you should know that I am very man at heart."
"Then you must come home fast, I will be done cooking soon." Aiyora said cupping his face with the same hand that he placed over his heart.
"One more thing Aiyora,"
"Yes?"
"Can you make the vegetable stir fry a little spicy; I actually enjoy spicy dishes with rice."
"Yes SIR! Consider it done. Your wish is my command." Aiyora said jokingly saluting him.
…
"I'm home Aiyora!" But she was already there waiting for him. With her hand she motioned him to hand over her the coat and the brief case. And as he did, she noticed the burnt flash of his hand.
"What happened?" she got a grasp of it before he could escape. "What happened to your hand?" to her utter horror Aiyora noticed the flesh from his right palm was burnt to the point where she could almost see his bones.
Without a word he simply snatched his wrist back from her with ease and with his signature cold hard stare he glared at her. "It is better if you stay out of this." His voice was harsh.
"But Eyan-"
"Aiyora," his voice was firm while his eyes glowered crimson all of a sudden and his voice took a hypnotic turn as he spoke the next sentence. "…I said its better for you to stay out of this."
His wave of power froze the girl to the ground and against her wish it took control of her and made her give him the answer he was look for, she said yes and stood there in trance as he walked towards his room.
While washing his hands under warm tap Kaname felt a presence appear behind him standing on the door way. He did not need to look up in the mirror to see who it was, who else would it be but Aiyora.
Aiyora stood there for a while hoping he would look up in the mirror but no he was too consumed with his wound. By now Aiyora had good knowledge about vampire and she knew they heal very quickly. But for some reason his ones were not. He was in pain despite his expressionless face. The slight squeeze of his brow told her that he actually was in pain. Hell ya! There will be pain once your flesh is that badly burnt out.
And it could only mean one thing…he came into contact with anti-vampire weapon.
A sudden rage passed through her mind and soul. She was angry, in fact extremely angry at him. First of all he injured himself and now he is showing her attitude.
Enough is enough!
Taking in deep breath Aiyora went up to the basin, slammed the tap shut and grasping both his arms forcefully turned him towards her. And this time Kaname Kuran was beyond started to say anything. Just like he said earlier no one ever asked him what he wanted to eat the same way nobody ever dared to behave in front him like this, with the exception of insolent imbecilic Zero who only raised his gun at him few times.
For a long moment their eyes ding deep holes into each other with their death glare.
This time too Aiyora acted fast and yanked him out of the bathroom and forcefully pushed him till he was sitting on the bed.
"Don't move from here!" Kaname blinked his eyes in surprise. Did she just scold me? Huh…like a mother.
AIyora rushed towards the bathroom and came out with a large first aid box. She placed the box on the floor and knelt down before him. Then, started to work on her hands one after the other.
Kaname simply watched clearly amused as Aiyora worked on his wounded hands as if she is some sort of professional surgeon operating; first wiping the would clean with anti-bacterial liquid, then apply some creams over the brunt flesh.
"Is it hurting?" Aiyora asked, he simply nodded his head no like an obedient child.
Aiyora continued to put gauze and finally bandaging both his hands up making them completely immobile.
"And Eyan," Aiyora called knowing that his attention was already on her; while she packed up the first aid box and stood up on her feet. "Never Ever tell me to mind my business…especially when it comes you and your injury."
Acting like a mother already…how adorable! My cute little Aiyora.
Kaname continued to chuckle silently as Aiyora went back to the bathroom and his time she came back with teary eyes.
"Why do you do this to me?" Aiyora spoke between her sob. "What is wrong if I want to know you more?"
"Aiyora?" Aiyora stopped him with a raise of her hand.
"You know what hurts the most Eyan…you always tell me how much you love, you never fail to show it, I can tell by the way you coddle me but when it comes to the most important pillar of a relationship, trust…" Aiyora paused to process the words in her head a little. "I can tell that you don't trust me, at all."
Kaname opened his mouth with excuses but Aiyora's words completely silenced him.
"You know…finding out that you are a vampire, was really hard for, but then I realized it was you who made it hard. Till to this day my love for you has not changed and it never will…but a part of me wishes you would have told me rather than me finding out when the inside you took control of your thirst and made you bite me."
Aiyora rubbed both her eyes with her wrist and continued. "If only you would have told me that you were a vampire, I would not have let you drink this hideous table." She took his face in both her hands and just as the next line came out of her Kaname felt his heart jumping out of its place.
"I would have given you my blood every single day…okay twice every single day…no as many times as you need every single day."
Kaname wrapped his long arms around her locking both his wrist behind her back be brought her close to him placed her on his lap to rest and buried his face into her chest.
"Please Ai," he whispered. "…Don't cry. Your tears make my heart ache." This time he pulled back and cupped her face with his bandaged hand. "Aiyora this old heart has received far too many wounds, now it can no longer take anymore, at least not from you."
The old Kuran felt air leaving his lungs as the young female placed her small palm over his beating heart and asked shyly. "Then will this heart share it's pain with me?"
"What are you intending to do little one? Reopen my old wounds?" Kaname asked tilting her face towards him.
"Exactly!" Aiyora replied boldly. "I am trying to re-open your wounds." Kaname's eyes widened slightly out of shock. "You are trying to keep your wounds closed and hidden but this way it will never heal. And I'm trying to open them completely, it may hurt a little but it will heal…" Leaning forward she pressed a deep kiss on his lips, taking his lower lip between hers giving it a gentle suckle, making him tighten his grip he already had on her.
"I promise you Eyan, once you tell me there will be no pain…do why know why? Because you will no longer be alone. I will be with you, right here, holding you in my arms, whispering into your ears that it will all be okay in the end."
His blurry eyes closed down tightly, his hold on her once more tightened. This time the purpose was to hold himself back from breaking down before her. But he could not, a drop of tear indeed betrays him as it dripped down his eyes and fell on Aiyora's arm.
"It will all be ok." Aiyora chanted in his ear. "Believe me, believe in yourself it will all be okay."
"Do you really want to hear my tale…Ai?" He asked barely holding his broken voice.
"All of it." She whispered deep into his ear.
And he finally started the tale that he never shared with anyone till to this day…he showed Yuki fragments of his life with his ancestress mate but this story goes way ahead of time; it started even before he was born with this cursed long flow of eternity.
"The story started long…long time ago when a poor farmer failed to pay his debt to lord of the village, Younuske Okhuda Roy…"
"Who is this man Eyan?" Aiyora asked.
He remained silent for a long moment, quietly shivering in her arms. His mind and soul filling up with bitter hatred.
"…the man who put me inside my mother…my real father." Aiyora wanted to ask what did he mean by real father but decided just patiently listen, as the man in her arms slowly continued with the tale that he kept buried inside himself for this long.
Meanwhile at Cross Academy...
the night class session for the following night just ended. Since Sara Shirabuki did not show up it was upon Yuki Kuran to take the lead. She was actually the last member to exit the class room. And as she come out of the class she was greeted by the sight of Yori conversing with the teacher's assistant, day class heart throb Kaito Takmiya.
"Being best friends with a vampire and you are still walking, you are indeed an odd sight." LIke always he commented sarcastically about Yori and she too responded with a very smart answer.
"Yuki may ave become a vampire but she still is my best friend and I know she will never do anything that may cause harm to her loved ones. She is very kind hearted."
The sound of Yuki's foot steps gets both their heads turning.
"Yori-chan!" Yuki almost half jogged her way and Kaito decided to walk past Yori while passing his last comment of the day.
"No vampires are kind hearted, especially not the Kurans."
Little the vampire-human friends combo knew they too were being watched from quite a distance by Sara Shirabuki and her current slave Takuma Ichijo.
"Ichijo look at the delicious little girls, embracing each other." Sara commented exaggerating her voice like a child's. The smile from Takuma's face fell. In truth he was not happy about what Sara was doing but then there was nothing he could do to stop her. Still he tried to voice like always.
"Are you planning to unite Yuki and Kaname. Then what will happen to Aiyora." truth be told Takuma was not very happy with Kaname's decision to leave Yuki. They all worked so hard all these years, he ruined so many lives just to protect Yuki and then suddenly one day he changes his mind and decide to go after another. "I will actually support you if you are planning to bring Yuki and Kaname back into each other's life."
Sara laughed out loud and continued to laugh as if the blonde beside her told her a really good joke.
"Tell me Takuma do I look like someone who runs a match making agency for vampires? Seriously." Sara sneered. "...but then look," she pointed her finger towards the hunter, Takamiya who was passing by. "Let me update you with the latest day class gossip Takuma," the said person's face hardened. "Did you know that this Takamiya-sensai has his hearts for throbbing our little Aiyora!"
Takuma gave Sara a stare,
"Let's do something for the poor hunter this Valentines Day!" Sara chirped clapping both her hands "...shall we?"
"You mean between Aiyora and Takamiya Kaito?" Takuma inquired.
"Exactly!...smart boy!" Sara said ruffling his hair carefully taking in the sight of his blush, that he was not even aware of.
