Loving Evil by Moonlight

Chapter Three - Usagi's 'Fields and Dreams'

--+--

"I could get used to this." Wufei muttered. He currently sat in the palm of Usagi's hand. She stood with her back to the wall, staring out the open window. He was so fired.

"Yeah, this place is so pretty!" his new friend said grinning, "Who would have thought that some evil, ugly vampire would have such good taste?" Wufei sweatdropped, ugly? She'd never even seen him! Talk about prejudice...

As they were in one of the towers the view was pretty darn good. The Master had beautiful fields all around his fairy-tale castle, daisies and tall golden sunflowers seemed to rule the surrounding area. There were actually mountains off in one direction! A river stretched off to the south and wound around a dark forest. Usagi winced, the place didn't seem very inviting, then again she couldn't say for sure since the castle had first seemed really dark and scary!

Well, it was still kind of dark and scary, but when she finally got the chance to open all the windows and stuff this place wouldn't look too shabby! Which it wasn't, especially after her and Wufei's conversation on the Master's infactuation with beautiful things.

"The Master wouldn't appreciate your meddling, girl." Wufei said suddenly. Usagi glanced down at him and huffed.

"So?"

"He's a vampire, stupid! You could end up killing him!" Wufei stood up, dusting himself off.

"Oh yeah...so? For the senshi and me that would be a good thing! I should try and kill him!" Usagi glared at Wufei. His black eyes looked sadly up at her, thus surprising the girl.

"This castle is cursed, girl. You think I've always been a fairy? If the master dies then so do we." Usagi gasped--she couldn't kill little Wufei! He was too cute! Well, this explained the whole half-fairy thing...

"Cursed? Why does everything have to be so freaking complicated!?" Usagi threw her hands up in the air, causing Wufei to go falling out the window. The girl winced as he came huffing back up with a glare to melt chocolate.

"Sorry, I guess I'll just have to find a way to get rid of the curse--then kill him!" Usagi said shrugging. Wufei face-faulted. He flew up in front of her face.

"Are you stupid or something, girl? Why go through all the trouble? It is complicated and none of your business! So just...go to your room and do your hair or something!" he growled.

Usagi blinked. She had a room?

"I want to go through all the trouble because you're my friend, Wufei! I've done lots of hard stuff in my life so this will be easy! Sort of, and it is my business since I apparently live here now--hey wait, if I live here does that mean I'm cursed too?" Usagi furrowed her eyebrows suddenly, going deep into thought. Wufei face-faulted again. At one point she was giving a warm, dramatic speech and then her mind had wandered off onto a semi-complete different subject! What, did she have A.D.D. or something?

Wufei feared the worst. Then again, maybe she would be able to help. Now all they needed right then was some light. Not just a little bit from one stupid window.

"...and if that guy is a vampire then how come you guys say he goes off everyday? How does he do it without dying? And isn't he already dead? And..." Wufei sighed, this was going to be a long curse.

"...what are you going to do with her then?" Milliardo asked his 'friend'. His 'friend'--the master of the fairy-tale castle--shrugged. The guy wasn't very good at expressing himself verbally.

So then what's a vampire like yourself doing with a vampire like him? Oh yeah... Milliardo thought. Their friendly chat was going a bit oddly, or at least to anyone else it was. For one, there was no light whatsoever. Two, the Blood Bank in a hospital wasn't a normal place to catch up on old times. And three, vampires didn't have friendly chats anyway.

"I suppose you'll have to bite her." he continued, receiving a nod from his partner, "And make her your servant or something..." the 'man' trailed off at the angry look his 'friend' gave him.

"...What? It's the proper thing to do--or at least when my sister comes for a visit." Milliardo smirked, "And you know she's getting a bit more suspicious too, you'll have to at least get some candles in there boy! It's not normal for humans to live in large castles by themselves with no light or food!"

The younger vampire sighed slightly, nodding once again.

"Her friends will be coming around soon enough as well. I'll take care of them--they'll do as workers if I can get them to cooperate." he said, Milliardo smiled slightly.

"Even after all these years you're still new to the whole human thing. It's time you learned more about them, here's your chance! I don't want Relena finding out about you or myself! And I don't want her to get hurt either, boy. If she get's hurt...I'll kill you." Milliardo's 'friend' rose an eyebrow. He apparently wasn't the least bit threatened.

"Well you know what I mean!" Milliardo snapped. He took a sip of his drink and smiled.

"...she loves me, she loves me not..." a little half-fairy named Wufei sighed. In his small hands was--to him--a large daisy. He was pulling all of the little petals off and playing a game Usagi had just taught him. It really was kind of fun.

Usagi smiled down at her little friend, he was so cute! She wondered who he liked, maybe another half-fairy?

The two sat outside--after much begging from Usagi--and had gotten lost in the sunflowers and picked hundreds of daisies all morning. Usagi was pretty sure that many hours had passed. She was as sure as her stomach was growling every ten minutes! This annoyed Wufei a lot.

The Master didn't eat regular food, Wufei and his friends lived off of sunflower seeds. Usagi found this stupid and got sick of the seeds quite fast--what was she, a nutcracker? Or a hampster?

"...she loves me not!" Wufei suddenly cried out, a horrified look in his eyes as he stared at the petalless stem in his hands. Usagi sighed and handed him another flower.

"Try again." and with that the mantra started up for the sixteenth time.

Usagi re-crossed her legs and looked around, nothing had changed since the last time she did this. What kind of enchanted fairy-tale castle was this? Talk about cheap!

Usagi looked forward, the field of daisies blew in the wind, her hair seemed to fly up to the west, as if trying to reach the mountains. There was something in the field...

"Wufei..."

"...she loves me..."

Usagi sighed and leaned forward, squinting. Her hair flew in front of her face and she quickly shoved it back and tried to find the little black thing... which now seemed much bigger...

"Uh, Wufei?"

"...she loves me not..."

It was moving, the thing, whatever it was--it was moving...forward? It was getting closer! Some kind of animal? Or, it was coming closer! And getting a bit bigger too! A lot bigger! It was huge!

Usagi was panicking, the - dog? Whatever! It was coming their way!

"Wufei!"

"...loves me--what?" the annoyed fairy grumbled.

"There's a dog--a bear! No--it's coming! It wants to eat us!" Usagi pointed to the field, the beast wasn't far away now. Wufei flew up to Usagi's shoulder and merely gave it a glance. He sat down and was about to start the 'counting' when he couldn't remember if it was love or not...

"Stupid girl! Now I have to start over!"

"But WUFEI!" Usagi screeched, "there's a monster that's going to eat us! Can you not SEE IT!" the blonde was going into hysterics and Wufei picked up another flower.

"That's not a monster, Usagi!" he swatted at a ladybug, "that's my pet--Nataku. She's just a little dog."

Usagi's head hit the ground with a thump! as the 'little dog' stepped out of the daisies.
