Living at Gunpoint

Chapter 2: A Vampire Called Aoshi

By: Black Chaos

Misao grinned devilishly; Aoshi had no idea what she would do to him. "Why should I tell you?" Misao said with a giggle. Her hyper-ness had finally caught up to her. "Why, why, why, why, why?"

"Because I said so."

"Fine!" Misao shouted, "I'll tell you. But first you have to pay the price." Misao whispered her last comment, giggling at her own idea. {Aoshi has no EARTHLY idea what I'll do to him.}

"What is the price, my little one?" Aoshi's cool sheen fell over him once again. He walked up to his lady-vampire. "What? I hope you know I don't like to talk."

"I'll. TICKLE YOU TO DEATH!!!!! Muahahahahahaha!!!" Misao screamed at him.

"Now Misao." Aoshi's voice faded away as he reached for the girl in front of him. His arms wrapped strongly around her small body. Aoshi's icy blue eyes locked with Misao's sapphire-jade ones. For a long time the two merely stood, with their arms around each other. After an absolute, noiseless time, Aoshi swept Misao off her feet and carried her to the bedroom. He lay his lady on the bed and lay down next to her. He watched as she slept peacefully and looked deep into her essence *a trick Misao will learn later* and saw that she simply wanted to be with the vampire called Aoshi.

"Misao, don't fret. I'm here," Aoshi told his lover. He looked at her sleeping form and sighed. [Dear God, how I love her] Aoshi leaned over to his lady and kissed her forehead. Tears leaked out of Misao's eyes from some unknown evil in her dreams. "Hush my sweet, don't cry. Hush." Aoshi whispered, wishing that he could fight away whatever pushed at her mind.

"Aoshi." Misao whispered groggily. "Is that you? Why are you still here?" Misao looked over at the face of the man holding her and saw that it was indeed Aoshi. She smiled as his bangs tickled her neck.

"Misao." Aoshi whispered into her ear. He twisted her around in his arms and kissed her. Aoshi brought his hands up to her face and held her face straight as he ravished her mouth. Misao squeaked as she fought to regain control of the situation.

"Aoshi. Please come on. let me go! I just need time." Misao looked horrified at herself; she was not acting like herself. {Why am I acting like this? It's not like me.} She pushed away from Aoshi and got up to go get some space. She went to the bathroom and splashed ice-cold water on her face.

Water ran down Misao's face as she gazed at herself in the mirror; she saw a girl who was deceiving herself and everyone around her with these mood swings of hers. {Mood swings. Why do I get them when another vampire is around?} *Female vampires get mood swings when another vampire is around, particularly male ones*

{Aoshi is a really nice guy and all but I don't know if I'm ready for the type of commitment it is to belong to a male of our kind, right Ri?} *Ri is the name of Misao's 'other half.'*

{Sure Misao. I think we're ready for it.}

"Whatever," Misao told herself out loud.

"Misao if you can't handle some light cuddling while you sleep, will you at least let me hold you on the couch?" Aoshi looked at Misao with his pure blue eyes and sighed.

"Get out. Please. I don't think I'm ready for this yet." Misao whispered and opened the door to the hallway of the apartment. "Maybe someday this will work out."

{But not today}

{Right. I know this is not me, but I don't like the idea of giving my memories and whole life to a vampire that I've just met, you know what I mean Ri?}

{Sure I do, you aren't even half as laid back as I am}

{I agree.}

"Not today." Misao whispered, tears running down her cheeks as she leaned against the door to her apartment.

*************************************************************

Aoshi stood outside the door looking like he had just been killed; his face paled even more so than normal. (If that is even possible, ha ha ha!!!)

"Misao, why? Why don't you think you're ready?" Aoshi whispered to the door as he rested his head on the door. "Come back. Talk to me. Let me get to know you, please?" Aoshi finally gave up and went back to his own apartment a block or so away.

*************************************************************

{Ri do you think we should get to know him?}

{Sure, it might be a good idea.}

{I think we should. But that doesn't mean anything}

{He is a good-looking guy. I do think it would be smart to get to know a male of our kind. Hey, are you hungry?}

{No why?}

{I don't know. I'm not either.}

"Makes no sense at all. But all I know is that I want Aoshi around. That is that." Misao wasn't talking to Ri or herself so much as just to talk.
