Chapter 3
Hilde sat there as her jaw dropped. She must not have heard him right. Duo gave her a strange look that made Hilde collect herself.
"Wh…what do you do?" stammered Hilde.
"I said that I'm a vampire hunter." Duo said giving her a strange look.
Hilde paled a bit. "That's what I thought you said." Hilde said, her voice slightly mote than a whisper.
"Are you all right?" Duo said noticing the paleness of her skin. "I didn't hear what you said."
"I'm fine," Hilde said forcing a smile. "It's just that I never imagined a person could have a job that hunts mythological creatures."
Duo gave her a skeptic look when Hilde said she was fine. He could tell that she was anything but fine, however he chose not to say anything. "It would be hard to hunt a mythological creature." Duo agreed. "But vampires are quiet real."
"You got to be kidding." Hilde said, who had decided to act like she didn't believe in vampires, like she had before meeting Relena. She thought it would be best because she really didn't want to die. This was the first time that she had seen a hunter but not the first time she had heard of them. "You're trying to tell me that you believe vampires are real."
"Yes I am." Duo said completely serious.
"Fine, if you say you believe that vampires walk the earth, I won't say anything. For myself, I don't believe it." Hilde told him.
"Fair enough." Duo agrees. "So what about you. What do you do?"
"I work at a club across town part time and I go to night school." Hilde replied. (A.N. can anyone guess which club she works at? ^_^)
"What is the name of the club that you work at?" Duo asked curiously, before he took a drink of his beer.
"It's called the Devil's Hideout." Hilde supplied as if it were nothing.
Upon hearing the name of the club, Duo immediately tensed. Hilde hid a small smile as she sipped her rum cooler. So, she thought, he knows of our club. This could be dangerous. If he and his friends showed up a good chunk of our population would be wiped out.
"You work there?" Duo said wanting to believe that his ears were just playing tricks on him. Wanting to believe that this beautiful young woman did not work in a club that was thought to be a major vampire hangout.
"Yeah," Hilde said innocently. "I work there and so do the girls that I came here with."
"Oh," was all Duo said. He was beginning to wonder if he was sitting with a vampire.
"We both seem to have jobs that cause a bit of conflict." Hilde observed. "Maybe we should get away from those topics."
"I think that is a good idea." Duo agreed. "What are you taking in school?"
"I'm doing an accounting program. You see my friends and I have this dream to start our own club soon. When we got out of high school, we each decided which part of the business we thought would suit us best. Mine just happened to be doing the books." Hilde explained.
"That's a nice goal. Are you just going to work at your club or are you going to do books for other places?" Duo asked, relaxing a bit.
"I'm not too sure on that part yet." Hilde answered. "If I could I would only do the books for my club, as well as work there. But if I nee to do other peoples books to make ends meet, so be it."
"You seem so set and focused on what you want. You know what you want to do with your life and your taking the steps to get it done." Duo said kinda dreamily. "I admire that I a man, but I admire it more in a girl."
"Thanks for the compliment." Hilde said with a slight flush. "What about you? What are your goals for the future?"
"I don't really have any." Duo admitted.
"I don't believe that." Hilde stated. "Everyone had a goal that they want to achieve."
"Well, in my line of work, a person can't really look forward to the future. You never know when you might get killed by a vampire." Duo said.
"I thought that we weren't going talk about our work." Hilde said in mock anger.
"Sorry," said Duo sheepishly, as he had read her easily.
"Ok. Putting work aside, what would you like to do?" Hilde said continuing their conversation.
"I don't know. Maybe see if the guys would like to open up a garage." Duo said.
"Are you all good mechanics?" Hilde asked curiously.
"Yeah were pretty good." Duo boasted, only a bit. "Although, I think that Trowa would prefer to open his own circus."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because that guy is seriously into and good at acrobatics. Sometimes you go into that living room of our house and nothing is where it should be. He moves everything to the sides of the room and he practices various moves." explained Duo.
Hilde chuckled before saying, "It sounds like he would like my friend Cathy. She isn't into acrobatics so much, but she is deadly with her daggers. Hell, when a fight breaks out all the bouncers do is get the drunks near the walls and Cathy pins them there."
"She sounds like a person that can handle herself pretty good." Duo said with slight admiration.
"Maybe we should try and set them up." Hilde said with mischief dancing in her eyes.
"What did you have in mind?" Duo asked while the mischief started to dance in his eyes as well.
"Well your friend Trowa was one of the guys that you came in with, right?"
"Yes. Hey how did you know I came in with others?"
"Shit, everyone in this club knew when you boys came in. But that's be side the point," said Hilde trying to get back on topic. "The point is to get Trowa and Cathy together. First of all, which one was Trowa?"
"Trowa is the tall one with the uni-bang." Duo supplied. "Which one was Cathy?"
"Cathy or Catherine is the red-head I was sitting with. Though I should warn you that she is a bit shy."
"And I should warn you that Trowa is rather silent.' Duo admitted. "So how are we going to do this?"
"Welll. . . ." Hilde paused a minute as she thought, "What are you guys doing tomorrow night?"
"I don't know. Probably nothing as fun as going to a club." Duo told her.
"Why is that?" Hilde wondered.
"Ya see each of us picks something that we want to do and everyone had to do it." Duo explained. "Tomorrow is Wufei's turn so he will choose meditation or martial arts."
"So it will be five days until you guys come back to the club?"
"Afraid so."
"That's alright. So Saturday night me and my friends will meet you and your friends here. When we arrive I'll make sure that our table is right by your. During the week I'm going to drop hints to Cathy that I know of a guy that she would like. By Saturday she will be so egare to meet this guy that she won't be shy. All that I'll have to do is point him out and she'll do the rest." Hilde smiled as she explained her plan.
Duo gave her a smile of his own. "Excellent plan," said Duo. "Not only is the girl beautiful she is cleaver as well."
"You think that I'm beautiful." Hilde stated going into major flirt mode wearing a smile that went from mischievous to seductive.
The change in her demeanor was not wasted Duo. Instantly he began to respond to her. Fuck she had a sexy smile, he thought. Hell she is sexy anyway but her full lips makes her smile sexier when she smiles like that.
"That's what I just said, didn't I. A man would be a damned fool not to see your beauty." Duo said huskily.
"He would," Hilde agreed as she slid her chair closer to his.
Duo let his eyes roam over her face, taking in every aspect. His eyes ended up on her lips again. Hilde watched as Duo's eyes darted over her face and finally settled on her lips. He had gorgeous eyes, Hilde thought being pulled into his spell.
"What would you do if I were to kiss you?" Duo asked.
"Why don't you try it and find out." Hilde challenged.
Duo took her challenge as he leaned over and captured her lips. Firm and demanding at first but then softened a bit to more of a caress. As the kiss softened Hilde leaned into it even more. She ignored all of the warning alarms that were going off in her head. She never thought anything about her being a vampire or him a vampire hunter. All that she thought about was the fact that he was a man, she was a woman and that they were kissing.
She was so caught up in their kiss that she didn't sense her friends or his friends approaching them. Neither of them were aware of the look of disgust that Wufei was giving them of the knowing look that the girls exchanged with one another.
"It's a good thing that none of us took your bet, Relena." Cathy laughed.
