Darkmaster2: That's what I'm hoping for. I really hope that this chapter is even better then the last one. Enjoy the read.

strangegirl106: I was hoping that as the story goes on that things would make more sense. I know I could have worked on the first chapter a lot more, but I hope the rest to the story makes up for that.

Chapter six: What did Guni say?

Silver helps Shido sit down at his desk as Guni flies in from the kitchen.

"What happened?"

"There was a breed attack and he got in a lucky hit."

"Where do you keep the bandages?"

"Over in the bathroom. Guni will you show her?"

"Sure. Come on Silver."

(She said that she may love me? I don't know what to do if she loves me. I mean sure I love her, but that's the kind of love a father would give his daughter and that's how I view her right now.)

"Silver what's going on between you and Shido?"

"What do you mean Guni?"

"Well, I mean why are you bothering to bandage his leg when it will just heal up soon?"

"You can never be too safe. I don't want it to get infected or anything before it has a chance to heal up."

"If you say so. Well anyway what do you think about him? And I mean really, what do you think about him?"

"I...I'm not really sure what to think. I mean he did save me from dieing and without all he's done for me... I just don't know right now. Let me get back to him so I can bandage his leg."

She walks back to Shido with everything she needs and kneels down to take a look at his leg.

"Shido, I'm going to have to cut most of your pant leg away to get to the wound, is that ok with you?"

"Ok, I guess. Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Not really. Just sit still and try not to move as I clean and bandage it up."

About five minuets later Silver looks up from her work with a satisfied expression on her face.

"There you go Shido. That should be better for you."

"Thank you Young One. Now can we talk about what happened earlier?"

"What needs to be said about it? You were trying to protect me and I took it as if you were trying to baby me."

"Um, well I guess your right with that Young One. But I still should not have said it the way I did."

"If you can forgive me for the way I got mad at you I'll be fine." She stands up from her position on the floor to look at Shido in the face. "Besides Shido I was stupid to do it. I realize that now."

"No you were right to be mad at me. I did treat you like a child to some degree."

"But you were doing it with my best interest in mind. You are right to want me to learn how to use my strengths before going to fight a breed."

"I'm glad we got everything worked out Young One. I'll start teaching you tomorrow to use your powers."

"Thank you so much Shido!" She goes to hug him, but she trips and lands in his lap missing his injury with her arms around his neck. She starts to blush from head to toe, but stays still unsure of what to do.

(Crap this is bad very, very bad. Oh man why did I do that? This is just great! NOT! Ok so fine I love him, but I mean come on, why would he want me? We just met and he's the one who nursed me back from death.)

She is about to move slowly away from Shido, when the door opens with Yayoi coming in. Silver jumps about a foot in the air and Guni starts to laugh even harder then she was before.

"Was I interrupting something?" She asks with an amused smile on her face at the site of the now extremely crimson skinned Silver standing as far as she can from Shido.

Shido is the first to recover and says, "Nothing at all Yayoi. Silver was just bandaging my leg for me."

"Oh? Then why does she look like she's about to run out of the room if we get closer to her?"

"I, um...Nothing's wrong Yayoi. I was... You startled me. I got scared." She forces herself to sit down and appear relaxed. "See everything's fine."

"Yeah sure. If you say so Silver. Anyway, everything's fine over at the scene."

"That's good. So are you going to stick around for awhile, or do you have to go back?"

"I have to go back and fill out some paper work. Are you sure you don't need any blood Shido? I could give you some before I leave."

"I'm sure Yayoi. The wound will be healed soon."

"Ok then I really do need to get back to work. I'll come back tomorrow night."

"Ok. I'll see you then."

"Bye Yayoi. Oh, before you leave I wanted to thank you for earlier."

"Earlier? Oh I remember. It was no problem Silver. I hope you remember it next time."

"I will."

"Good. Well I have to go now. Bye." She opens the door and walks out.

Silver relaxes visibly letting out a sigh of relief.

Guni takes one look at Silver and starts to laugh again.

"Do you find something funny Guni?"

"Yes."

"What?"

"You."

"I don't think it's funny."

"Come on Silver, you can't tell me that you don't find it at least a little funny."

"I can and I will. She really did scare me."

"You just didn't want her to see you on Shido's lap."

"That had nothing to do with it. I was getting up already, but then I got scared by the door."

"You know you wanted to be on him."

"You know Guni, Silver. That will be quite enough. There is no point arguing about it. You are both being a little childish."

Silver and Guni look at each other and say, "I'm sorry."

"There that's better."

Guni flies over to Shido and lands on his shoulder. She starts whisper in his ear so low that Silver can't hear her.

(I wish I could hear what she's saying. I thought vampires get better hearing then this. I think she's done now. Hang on. Is Shido blushing a little?)

"Shido?"

"Yes Young One?"

"What did Guni say to you right now?"

"Nothing. Why do you ask?"

"Oh no reason. Just that you seem to be blushing a little."

"I am not."

"Then it is just the light then?"

"It could be."

"Shido, why do you lie to her?"

"I'm not lying. I'm really not blushing."

"Ok fine. You're not blushing."

"I'm glad you agree with me."

Guni gets off of his shoulder and flies to Silver with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Guni, what are you doing?"

"Nothing Shido."

She lands on Silver's shoulder and whispers the same thing in her ear that she did in Shido's, "I told Shido that you two should just go back there and fuck each other senseless before the sexual tension in this room chokes me to death." She then gets up and flies to the kitchen laughing her ass off.

Silver turns a bright crimson, looks at Shido, then becomes very interested in the back of the coach.

"She told you didn't she?"

"Young One? Are you ok?"

"Yeah."

Shido gets up and goes over to Silver. He sits down next to her. "Young One? Look at me." He grabs her by the shoulders and turns her to face him.

"Silver, Young One. It's alright Guni likes to joke like that. She didn't mean anything by it. There is no reason to be embarrassed."

"I..."

"Yes Young One?"

"I..."

"You can tell me. It's alright."

"But Shido, remember what I told you before?"

"Before we left? Yes I remember."

"Never mind. Forget that I ever said it."

"No. If you have something to say to me I would rather you tell me then let it stay inside and torment you."

"It's nothing Shido. I only have a crush on you. It's probably because it was you who saved me and I don't remember anyone else."

"Young One? Are you sure it's nothing?"

"Yes Shido, I'll be happy with your friendship."

"If that is how you feel then I'll believe you."

"Good. I don't want either of us to feel uncomfortable when around the other."

Silver reaches over and gives Shido a friendly hug. Before she pulls away completely she moves to give him a kiss on the cheek. He moves at the last second though and there lips meet. They are both stunned, but Silver recovers first and starts to kiss Shido passionately. She moves closer to him and tangles her fingers in his beautiful lavender hair.
