Hello here is chapter 2! YAY! Thank you for reviewing those of you that did. I really should be reading Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain for my English class, I'm going into AP/GT and I have about 100 so pages left and school starts Monday and I'm going to be busy this entire weekend! Damn my need to please you people.
4/30/05- Again, I'm going through and editing everything so that it can follow the story line as close as possible. And yes I am working on the sixth chapter for this story, and on the 8th or 9th for LFDA.
Kyou woke up for the first time feeling like whooping till his lungs and throat burned from bliss. Alice lay in his arms a ring around her finger, basking in his body's warmth. Her thick eyelashes covered her baby chub cheeks. Last night flashed through his head like lightning. He was amazing himself by staying still watching her sleep. But in his mind he was pleading for her to wake up.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Who ever it was scared Alice awake. She looked around to see Kyou next to her with nothing but love flowing from him.
"ALICE! ALICE MY LOVE! LET ME IN!" they head Frey whine from the other side of the door.
Her jaw tightened, eye widened in panic and her brow knit in fear. Desperately she looked at Kyou, who brought his fingers to his lips as her left the bed and hid in her closet.
"Vimiku..." Alice whispered, to find a Frey pile on her floor.
He bounced up and struck a pose that showed off his pale Scandinavian body. "Alice I have been looking for you since eight when I did not see your lovely face at breakfast." These words were rushed as he crossed the room embracing her.
Alice body was stiff. 'I think I heard Kyou growl...? If he did please don't let Frey have heard.'
Frey continued in his talk. "I grew suspicious when I saw that Kyou," he said the name with such venom that Alice jumped. "wasn't at breakfast either. So I came to find you. Darling you do not know how happy I am to see he is not with you!"
Alice felt him shift so that he could look at her. She hung her head. "Frey you need to stop."
"M'love?"
"Frey you need to stop doing this." She looked him in the eyes so that he would see she was serious, and at the same time sorry. "I love Kyou, and he loves me. Frey you know this." She wiped away her tears. "I love you, but not in a way that I could ever love Kyou. I want to spend the rest of my life with him, raising a family, growing old. Frey I just want to be your...friend." she ended softly.
Kyou peaked through the crack in the door. Never had he seen Frey look so defeated. It was as if everything had been taken away from him even his strength to fight.
"I-I have been making a fool of myself. I've known all along that you and Kyou belonged together. But I couldn't help falling in love with you Alice." His voice was shaky. "I will stop so that you and Kyou will be able to have a happy future together. I hope that I will find someone who makes me feel the way that I know you make Kyou feel." And with that he left the room.
This was a confusing feeling for the couple left in the room. A burden had been lifted from their shoulders from having Frey now know the truth, but at the price of hurting him felt costly to their friendship.
Kyou placed his hand on Alice's shoulder, to hug her right now seemed inappropriate. "You had to let him know at some point."
"I know." She looked down at her ring. "I don't think we should say anything for a while. You know, add insult to injury."
Kyou turned her around and took her hand. He turned the diamond so it faced her palm. "No one will notice."
Three days went by. Their secret safe the two became careless going to each other's rooms to sleep in warm arms.
Mei Lin watched as Alice left her room, a cute pair of pajamas on and matching slippers covering her feet. "Alice!" she called to her.
The brunette followed Mei Lin into her room. She sat on the empty chair as Mei Lin took the bed, waiting for her to start talking.
"You know everyone, except for maybe Frey have noticed that ring on your finger. It's not that hard to miss a silver band against your pale skin. Also the diamond glints when you move sometimes. I suspect that some girls at school have noticed. I know that I've known since before he proposed to you for the second time, but honey it's getting to the point where you can't hide it."
Alice was taken aback by what she was hearing. "Umm...I guess I didn't actually know."
"The thing is that your not even seventeen yet. People will be talking as to why you and Kyou are engaged. It's not as though your love is a huge secret." The Chinese girl paused. "Just be careful. Everyone is willing to play along until you two are ready to tell, just don't wait to long. Especially for Frey and Mayura's sake."
"Hai." She left the room deciding whether or not she should go to Kyou.
Ok well that's the end of the chapter. I wrote this in about an hour and a half. I didn't want to write to much, cause I'm not completely sure where I'm going with this, so when I do know I'll write more. Till then bye!
I was reading this to make sure that I had consistency in my story, but I saw some mistakes so I fixed them.
4/30/05- wow this was a short chapter.
