"Err...girl..." Fubuki started, "umm...I was wondering...would you...could you..."

"Yes?" Mitsukai perked up, hoping that he was going to say what she wanted to hear from him.

"Would you err...could you umm...get me a drink from the refreshment table? I'm dying of thirst here..." he asked her.

Her jaw dropped open. 'W-why that-that JERK!!' she thought angrily.


CRIMSON STAINS

Mitsukai stared at him with seething eyes. 'That-that idiot!!' she thought angrily. Fubuki looked blankly at the expression on her face. Did he say something wrong?

"Mits-girl...is something troubling you?" Fubuki asked with a little bit of...concern?

"Huh? Wuh? Oh...no...nothing at all...your imajesty/i..." she mocked the last word in her sentence.

"Whatever," Fubuki said, waving her off, "now get me my drink, I'm getting thirsty."

Mitsukai muttered some inappropriate things under her breath as she got up form her chair and made her way towards to refreshment table. 'What's with her?' Fubuki thought, frowning slightly at the things she said under her breath. 'STUPID IDIOT!!!' Mitsukai fumed, 'who does he think he is?!!? Getting all embarrassed and then asking me to get him a DRINK!?! STUPID @#$%&*#!!!'
Mitsukai gripped the paper tightly in her hands, and she filled the cup with a red thick watery substance.

"Hmm...must be fruit punch or something...it awfully smells like copper..." Mitsukai took a little sip from the cup of 'fruit punch', and began to spit out the contents of BLOOD onto the floor, "AUGH!! Blood?! Why didn't anyone tell me!?!"

Mitsukai looked disgustedly at the cup before walking back to her master.

"Here you go." she grumbled, handing him the cup reluctantly, still mad at him.

Suddenly, someone tapped Mitsukai on the shoulder. She turned around and groaned inwardly in her mind, 'Not him AGAIN...he never does give up, does he...' Mitsukai smiled forcefully.

"Hello, Mitsukai. Now that you have gotten my little brother a drink...dance with me?" he grinned charmingly enough to have any girl swooning over him.

"Uh...okay!" Mitsukai said taking his arm, looking at Fubuki through the corners of her eyes to see what his reaction was to her little "jealousy" trick...nothing...absolutely nothing...coldness.

'DAMMIT!" she thought, frustrated, 'either he really doesn't care about me, or that there's some kind of problem with his FACE when he's displaying his emotions!'

"Is there something wrong, Mitsukai?" Sekkei looked at her worriedly.

"Huh? What? Oh...no....nothing..." Mitsukai dropped her heated gaze to the floor.

"Then why..." Sekkei chuckled deeply, "are you gripping my shoulder so tightly?"

"Eh? Oh..." Mitsukai blushed and loosened her vice like grip on his shoulder.

Sekkei saw this as a chance to reel her in towards him. He slid his palm around her tiny waist and pushed her lightly towards his body, not wanting her to feel that he was a pervert or something. Sekkei had just wanted to make his younger brother jealous. He gazed over Mitsukai's head and saw Fubuki's glowing red eyes watching him every so often. Sekkei smirked at him, "Loser..." he thought, seeing the enraged look upon his brother's face.

"Idiot womanizer..." Fubuki muttered under his breath, glaring at his servant and his brother dancing the night away.

'Well...' the little voice returned to his head, "you rejected her proposal to you when you had the chance...but NOOOOO you had to overrun yourself with your stupid pride...TSK! Hehe, now she's in the arms or another, and tonight Sekkei will take her to his room and they will make lo-'

"Shut up!!" Fubuki snarled quietly, clutching his head rather painfully, "why am I getting so annoyed over Mitsu-servant girl and her plans with my brother?"

'Because...' the little voice mocked him in his mind, '...you are JEALOUS!'

That was it. Those were the three little words that got him to snap.

"SHUT UP!!!" he roared, as he leaped up immediately, knocking down his chair with a clatter.

Everyone in the room quieted down to witness the incident. Fubuki glowered at the people around him and muttered a sorry, making his way through the sea of people. Big mistake. He almost tripped over someone's foot. He cast his eyes upon the person whom he did not want to see at the very moment...Mitsukai. Her face was full of bewilderment, anger, and....concern?

"Are you alright...master?" she asked awkwardly, looking off in the other direction.

'Am I really that detestable to even LOOK at, Mitsukai?' Fubuki thought sadly even though his eyes displayed no emotion whatsoever. He then got up and walked stolidly towards the dorms area. Mitsukai just stared dumbfounded at what had just happened. Why was he so mad? She did not know. Mitsukai gently pushed herself away from the source of heat her dance partner emitted, and swept silently after her master, leaving a bewildered Sekkei behind.

"Dammit..." Fubuki thought to himself as he smashed his fist against the marbled wall of his room, not caring about the blood that began to trickled down his arm.

::knock:: ::knock::

"Go away..." he mumbled.

Instead, the door opened slowly.

"I SAID TO GO AWAY!!!" Fubuki yelled, throwing a lamp across the room, not bothering to look up.

"M-master? I-is this a bad time..." Mitsukai peered innocently at him from behind the door.

He sighed. She took this as a signal as a yes. She looked at the damage that was done. A broken lamp, an overturned desk, scattered papers, blood dripping from his fist...BLOOD!?!!

"Master, you are bleeding!!" Mitsukai said anxiously, pointing to his wound.

"It is nothing. Please leave." Fubuki grumbled.

"I'm going to get something to bandage up your wounds. I'll be back...don't go ANYWHERE." Mitsukai said sternly, ignoring his insensitive remark as she turned to walk out of the room.

"Stupid wench..." Fubuki growled after she had let the room.

"Fubuki-sama..." Kadaika appeared at the doorway.

"Kadaika..." he growled.

"You are bleeding...all over," Kadaika offered wisely, "be kind to her and she will heal your wounds...all of them..."

"What? What do you mean?" he asked curiously, but the old woman had already disappeared.

The words had left an echoing effect in his mind, 'you are bleeding...all over, be kind to her and she will heal your wounds...all of them...' these words kept repeating in his mind, until Mitsukai came back with a washcloth, a basin, and some bandages.

"Master, please sit down on a chair. It will be easier for me to wash your wounds this way." Mitsukai said gently.

Fubuki reluctantly grabbed a chair and held out his arm impatiently.

"Okay, this might sting a bit. I'm just warning you in case-" Mitsukai started, dipping the cloth in water, and wringing it out.

"-just get on with it." Fubuki said edgily.

"Okay, but don't say I didn't warn you..." Mitsukai sighed as she dabbed the cloth at his wound.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!" Fubuki howled with pain as he clutched his fist with agony.

"I warned you before!!" Mitsukai scolded, as she dabbed at the wound again, making him howl louder.

"DAMMIT, WOMAN!! CAN'T YOU DAB ANY BETTER?!" he yelled, baring his fangs at the stabbing pain in his fist.

"Alright, now that I BARELY just cleansed it, I'm going to bandage up your hand now!" Mitsukai ignored his protests and wrapped the bandages around his hand.

"There...is that better now?" Mitsukai said cheerfully after she was done.

"Whatever..." he replied with a voice full of distantness.

"At least a thank you would be nice..." she muttered as she turned around, remaining in a crouched position, to hoist up the basin.

"What was I supposed to say?! Thank you for ruining my night!?" he shot back at her.

"Wh-what?!" Mitsukai stood up abruptly, slipping the basin out of her hands.

The metal basin hit the floor with a loud clang, but neither heard the thunderous sound it made, as they were both glaring at each other.

"What's with you? Why are you so cold?!" Mitsukai snapped at her master.

"None of your business, WENCH! Now get out of here before I-" Fubuki snarled back at her.

"-Before you what? Pull the werewolves on me? Send the guards after me?" Mitsukai challenged him.

"Don't push it, woman." He growled.

"Beat the hell out of me? Or what? Sell me off to your bro-"

SMACK

THUD

Mitsukai stared at her cheek in horror, as crimson stains began to drip onto the floor with a silent splash. A sickening slap could be heard thousands of miles away. Fubuki stared at his hand in horror, as he realized what he had done. 'I...I had never hit a woman before...' he thought with shock as more blood began to taint the white carpet around Mitsukai. 'Oh, God...' he thought, 'what have I done?'

"I-I'm sorry!! I-I shouldn't have...I...I'm sorry, master!!" Mitsukai choked out the words she thought he had wanted to hear from her.

"Oh...Gods, Mitsu-woman...I didn't mean...I...let me take a look" Fubuki stuttered, taking a step closer to her.

"N-NO!! I-It's alright! Please! Just stay...away...I-I can manage...please, just don't hit me again..." Mitsukai sobbed, as she backed away from her master, "I just don't want...anymore pain..."

And with that, she stood up and flee from his room, running quickly down the hallway. Fubuki listened intently to the sound of her footsteps until they faded into the silence.

"Great..." he muttered, "how will she ever learn to trust you now?"

That was the one question that laid unanswered for the rest of his night.
