Okay.. Please forgive me if this chapter is a bit odd, I have a fever, which hasn't died down in three days! OO' so yeah; please excuse any out of the norm. Things like random shout outs or something that goes way off topic. Anyways, here is chapter 8 which was the other one but, I deleted a chapter that was a copy of 7 and so yeah..ehem.. ; WELL! Its time we start this chapter hm?

Stalker!

I swear, the night that I was ready to go and sit down at my dinner table I would have never have guessed that someone was there for me. Maybe someone had found my ticket and wanted to return it to me at the restaurant! Like one of those stories of fate (heheh bad pun .;) with love or something weird but cool like that. Laughing with a small blush of embarrassment I looked at the waiter who was starring patiently at me, I must remember to stop talking to myself like that.

"Follow me please." Bowing his head the waiter brought me through the maze of tables and chairs within the place, it was very lovely and simple, little fish tanks were near by so specters wanting seafood could see their choices. Oddly for this place, they had an English chandelier, still, it kept to its Chinese theme, clearing a vase with a tall fern, and I saw someone sitting alone. That must be my table!

Right on the dot I was correct, the waiter stood adjacent to the chair I was to sit in and waited for any request the person and I would make. Smiling I seated myself down with my hands settling onto the table, leaning back into my chair I released a relieved sigh, "Thank you so much for finding my ticket!"

Slowly the person sitting in front of me turned, and to my surprise, it was Albel. Eyes filled with shock, I sat up stiffly starring at his amused expression with a look that would make a snake envious for not being able to drop their jaw that low.

"Albel! What are you doing here!" Haste filled my voice as I only starred dumbfounded at him.

"Having a date with you my princess." His voice was so calm, and his eyes would just hold me in place, their crimson glow of a bloody hue. Giving a purr-like 'Hm' Albel just seemed to enjoy popping in and out randomly into my life, you know, now that I think about it. I never met anyone like this, so maybe, which I cannot believe what I am thinking! Maybe, I should just give him a chance.

Sitting up I once again regained my smile, though I think it seemed to give off a sly kind of feeling because it made Albel's coy expression change. "Alright, lets have a date." So it was settled, Albel and I were to have our date right now and I think he was very pleased; though, for some reason, I cannot help but think. I am being watched.

A night filled with food and laughter, our little get together at the restaurant was coming to an end, though not entirely. We still had to walk back to the Academy. "Ready to go? Shall I walk you home Fayt? Heh." Nodding I agreed laughing a bit at his little joke of taking me home. Sitting up from out table we both headed out towards the door, opening the large wooden doors for Albel, it was night outside. The streetlamps were on leading the towns streets for passer Byers, looking to the side of me, my gaze fell on Albel who seemed to be transfixed of what was going on in the sky. Looking up myself, I saw that it was only a darkened night sky as usual, "something interesting up there?"

Looking at me Albel shook his head, "No, I just thought I smelled something fresh." Smirking he walked up to me to stand beside me, I suppose it was the glow of the street lamps but, Albel seemed more, attractive. Going on our way, I decided to look into the sky since it was a rather quiet walk; gazing into the blank darkness my left eye was suddenly hit with a water droplet. Soon, many droplets fell and then, heavy rainfall. This must be the "something fresh" Albel was talking about. "It's raining! Crap! And we don't have an umbrella, we might get sick!" and I knew we would. It was pouring! And we were now both soaked in the cold rainwater as it mercilessly fell from the sky.

"C'mon, over here, we can stand in the alley where the roof tops clutter together. It should give us ample safety." Grabbing my hand with his own, I felt I would have my arm jerked out of its socket as I remember how he would fiercely cut the steak he had to eat. But instead he gently tugged me along in the direction he was heading to. Now in the safety of the rooftops, I leaned my body against the brick wall of a building to relax against, releasing a sigh I soon sneezed. "Great, I am going to be sick." Shivering I rubbed the palm of my hands together before folding them across my chest to rub my shoulders. Looking to the side of my I knew Albel was still there, the alley ways were very dark so, I was worried I would be left alone as a prank but, I wasn't. The gentle glow of red was his eyes so I knew as well as the little puffs of warm air coming from his mouth. "Are you all right Albel?"

"Yeah but, you seem to be freezing heh, too cold for you little worm?" Huffing I glared at him as I knew he was probably grinning at me. "Yes." I answered as coldly as I could muster.

"Ah!" Suddenly I felt something warm against me, which frightened me; standing stiffly still I felt it vibrate slightly. "Hahahah, man you are sure afraid of the dark." …. Argh! It was Albel. Oddly for some reason I was now really nice and warm but, was I still sick or scared? My heart kept beating so quickly and I felt my cheeks burning. Tilting my head back against the wall, I looked up to see Albel starring at me with those eyes…

Like a cat he had me, the mouse, cornered though, I felt it was much better this way. I could feel his warm breathe against me as it warmed my face and neck, my hands moved up to place themselves against his chest, I could feel his beating heart against the palm of my hands. Stepping closer to me he pressed his body against mine, his hands trailed from where they were rested by his sides to caress my cold cheeks. His long damp hair trickled little droplets of rainwater down along his neck and back before hitting the ground. Sighing a shaky breath I looked into those powerful red orbs with an almost pleading look, "Albel." Leaning his face down closer to me all thoughts in my mind was gone as my fingers curled against the material of his damp shirt. "Albel we-", pressing his parted lips against my their soft tender feeling of warmth flooded against my lips into my body. I was still as a statue as my heart seemed to be the only thing working. With a gentle exhale he parted from me starring intently into me eyes laying his forehead against mine as his thumb gentle rubbed my cheek. Burning red from blushing I starred at him with my lips still slightly parted, perhaps it was the wanting of warmth or sickness but I had to feel that gentle warm feeling again. Leaning forwards I pushed against his lips in a small peck still shy as it was a sort of awkward situation, accepting my small peck Albel wished to go further by nuzzling his cheek against mine before his lips made their way to my neck. Placing small little kisses here and there, I could not help but laugh a bit from the ticklish feeling. Gasping and stiffening I felt a strong tug against my neck, holding me in a tight embrace Albel made me feel like a damsel who was being a attacked by a vampire!

Feeling eyes on me again I cowered slightly against Albel though it seemed to give anyone who passed by and could see into the alleyway. A bit of a 'show', unfortunately I think this action egged Albel on with his little vampire sucking trick; giving a little cry I tugged away from Albel, it hurt! "Albel, what the heck was that!" Rubbing my hands against my neck I felt it was a bit wet. "……" Making an odd face I felt his saliva was on my neck, twitching I would glare at him. Chuckling he would smirk at me, "Just a little present, you'll see. Or maybe, others will." What? What is this guy talking about?

Looking to the side I spoke once more, "Hey, Albel, do you feel like we are being watched."

"Mhm." He nodded his head as he too then looked around the dark place.

What? "Wait. You mean, you felt that too and you still kissed me and such! Someone is watching! What will they think or say? And what about me! I would have never seen myself doing this! Pervert!" Filling with panic I regained sense as I was flooded with thoughts of why Albel, how it was him, and I thought I was a man and only liked females!

Pointing at him I shouted, "You must have spiked my drink when I wasn't looking or my food!"

"Hahahahah, I would not spike someones drink or their food, what you did was all on your own accord, I only kissed you but, you if you remember Sherlock, kissed me as well, you are guilty too." Damn, he was right but, I still think it was something, did I mention it could have been sickness?

"Hmph. Well, in any case, I want to know who could be spying on us." I hated that weird 'eyes on your back' feeling; it really bugs me.

"Perhaps we have a stalker little Worm." Oh my gosh! He is right!

"There are weird people here, maybe it is a woman who saw us or has seen us for many times or a man! They could have this odd shrine filled with candles and pictures and locks of our hair or pieces of our clothing!" I was always told I have a strong imagination.

"Calm down, you are overreacting." His expression seemed to be of surprise again, I suppose he found my situation of things weird. "C'mon, lets head back, the rain seemed to have cleared during your little fantasy world." Fantasy world! I resent that. It is called over active imagination!

Huffing I followed Albel from our little dry spot during the rain, seeing we were not too far from the Academy I was happy since I knew I would not have to feel that back piercing feeling soon. Walking besides Albel now seemed a bit weird, we had kissed and were watched but still kept on going, starring at the ground ahead of me I felt my cheek burn red again.

"Thinking about what happened? Do I give you that much of a powerful vivid memory?"

"Ah! No! Of course not, I think I am just coming down with a fever." Turning away I tried to hide my flushed face with the hue of red and pink.

"Oh, do you want me to check your temperature when we get back then?" Upon hearing that I suddenly pictured him only inviting me to his room so he could have his way with me and then blackmail me!

"No! I don't want to go to your room!" I shouted as I placed my hands into my pockets glaring at him with disgust.

"Hahahah, wow, I bet you thought I was going to take you to my room and have my way with you, didn't you, you are the pervert, not me, if anything. I was only going to drop you off at the infirmary to have your temperature checked." Oh…. Cowering my face away I dared not look at him as I had indeed thought wrong of his good intentions.

"I am not." I mumbled feeling stupid, noticing Albel pausing I knew we were back, walking into the dormitory we headed towards the stairs, which led us to our rooms. Finally reaching the third floor I stomped past Albel and went to open my dorm room door. "Goodnight Fayt." Hearing a purr of a chuckle I could tell he was happy with the date as he walked casually into his own room. Closing his door I then opened mine, sighing as I shut the door, I must have awoken Cliff.

"Welcome back Fayt. Have fun?" Yeah…loads, Albel was the one who had the ticket and when we walked back it rained, oh! Did I mention we were stalked and gave the guy a make-out show!…Is what I would tell him but I dared not say a word of that and die.

"Yeah, it was good, got wet from the sudden rain but overall fun." Yeah, fun…

"Good." Smiling he stood up walking over to me before pausing, something different had caught his eye about me, looking at him like a lost puppy dog I tilted my head to the side curious of what he was starring at.

"Fayt, what is that?" He was gazing very hard at something that was on me.

Looking down at myself I tried to see it with my own eyes, "What?"

"That right there on your neck." He was pointing in the direction the spot was located on my neck, my eyes growing big I placed my hands there to cover it looking for a mirror. Moving to stand in front of the mirror I saw that there was a giant red circle like mark on my neck. ALBEL! He put this there! "O-oh…it must be a mosquito or something that bit me and put this red mark there, you know how those bites get red and itchy hehe." I must sound like a complete idiot right now covering up for what had really happened.

"Alright, well, I'm sure the swelling will go down eventually."

"Yeah, well Cliff, I am exhausted, I need some rest." I yawned stretching to add affect though I really could go for some rest right now and clear my mind.

"Sure thing, see you in the morning then, goodnight Fayt." Smiling he nodded his head before slipping into his bed, I bet he was tired too from waiting on me all night.

Taking all my damp clothing off, I could smell Albel on me; he seemed to wear a certain cologne. Throwing my clothes to the side I decided I would shower in the morning I really needed rest right now. Slipping only a t-shirt on since I had my boxers on already, I moved my sheets and slipped into bed. I could only imagine what tomorrow would bring but, knowing myself, I am sure it would be an over zealous thought.

Well that's it for now! Yay! I had fun and I'm dying from my headache but oh well. I have tea with me to keep me company..tea…. ; Well anyways! Hope you liked it! It was..funny typing this one out heheheheh bad puns in there too, sorry! R&R!
