Heres yet another one-shot-ratedPG-13 ..to be on the safe side...
"Where were you yesterday?"
Shirra looked up from her obscure volume, cocking her head to one side inquisitively. She wore a long, flowing black dress tonight. Her hair was in a bun. She looked unusually feminine tonight.
"What do you mean?'
"If I'm not wrong, you left my side around 3am-only to return at late noon.."
A slight smile of understanding quirked up her lips.
"I was out practicing my Lord."
"Again?!"
"Blame the ronin blood in me."
Dracula muttered a curse in Romanian. As much as he enjoyed seeing how strong she was, it perturbed him that the ronin in her enjoyed waking up early.
FLASHBACK
She opened her eyes around 3am. She turned to see her love and sire, asleep, his arms round her. Surely not now...Sighing quietly, she disengaged herself before leaving the coffin and changing into a pair of pants and a blouse. Turning once more to Dracula, she kissed him before closing the coffin –and went to practice.

Dracula opened his eyes the moment she left. This was getting to be quite a habit, he observed. Wednesdays, around this time. Oh well, it could be worse... He went back to sleep. He would have a talk with her later...

Present Time...
Fortunately, it was once a week. For now at least.
"What is wrong, Vladislaus?"
She asked, sitting up on the divan they both reclined on. She bookmarked the page before closing it to look at him.
"T'would appear it is becoming a habit for you to leave me all alone in my coffin, dearest.Soon, I shall spend my days and nights alone-
"Do not be so petulant or melodramatic,"
She mock-scolded him.
"Or what? You'll punish me? Go ahead."
"No."
"Sadist."
She rolled her eyes and returned to her book. Or, she tried to, for Dracula took on a crushed look( read: puppy-dog eyes).
"Do you hate me so?"
"Don't be so extreme, Dracula...Of course, I love you."
She laughed, entwining her fingers in his raven locks. He knocked the book out of her fingers, where it fell upon the floor like a bird with too many wings, before pulling her into a kiss. She cried in surprise before returning it to him.
"So, my little kislany (little warrior-thanks imajere ), care to see how your practice has paid off?"
"Quite agile in speech are we? "
"That's not all that's agile, my little rose."
With that, he brought her to his chambers.
