The next day, Aina did everything she could to avoid Kaname. She didn't want him to change his mind and hurt her. Kaname sighed as watched her scarper as soon as she saw him. He regretted losing it like he had but as soon as she moaned out Rido's name, his instincts to make her his took over. He knew that she was now scared of him, scared of what he could do to her. He hoped it wouldn't last long, that it would make her stop thinking about Rido. He knew she still had the stupid ring, he had thrown it away every year but it always found its way back to her. He had yet to workout how.
After a week, Kaname was fed up of her running away from him. They had a wedding to plan after all. He had finally managed to corner her in her room. He watched her shake in fear, she couldn't even look at him. "Aina, I am sorry." He told her softly. "It will never happen again." He added, hoping to reassure her.
"No it won't because next time you will do worse to me." She hissed back, surprised by her sudden bravery. She often found that when she wore Rido's ring, she felt safe, confident and brave, like Rido was with her. May be that was why she clapped back at him.
"I promise you that it wouldn't happen again, or get worse." Aina sighed and turned her back to him. Kaname hated when she did that. "Aina, I love you. When I heard you say his name, I lost it. All I wanted was to hear you say my name and make you experience so much pleasure." He told her.
"I'm sorry I said his name." She finally spoke, looking over her shoulder. Kaname smiled and stepping closer. She was finally accepting her faults.
"Can we move on from this and start planning our wedding?" He then asked, hoping she would agree. Aina sighed before nodded. She could do nothing to stop this now.
She just hoped she could drag it out as much as possible. She tried to disagree on practically everything, even if she did like it. But after a short while, Kaname put his foot down. He ended up choosing the majority of things to speed everything up.
Aina looked at herself in the full length mirror. It was her wedding day. She looked up and down her dress. It's bodice was made of blood red silk with a lace neckline. She had full sleeves with a puffed up shoulders, made from the same red silk. Gold floral embroidery ran down the sleeves, adding to the regal feel of the dress. A thick gold belt was tightly under her breasts, pushing them up even more. She hated how much her breasts stood out, she only liked to do it to tease Rido. The skirt of the dress was made of white silk, stopping ever so slightly above the floor. The gold embroidery continued down a line at the front before covering a good three, four inches in solid gold embroidery at the bottom of the skirt. She had a red and gold train starting from the belt, reaching the floor and flowing further behind her. Aina wanted a simple white dress but Kaname insisted on red and regal designs. This was a compromise. She could have sworn the main reason he picked that dress was because of how it hugged her. When she first tried it on, his eyes didn't move from her chest.
Her hair was up in a bun and a large floral gold tiara sat proudly on her head. It was covered with diamonds and rubys, matching her ring. She had a diamond and ruby necklace on, on that practically covered her entire chest. She sighed to herself, she had manages to sneak Rido's ring with her. She kissed it and closed her eyes, praying for a miracle. She slipped it back down her cleavage as a maid opened the door. They were ready for her.
Aina took a deep breath before walking down the aisle. She had to do everything to steel herself, she honestly want to run away. Kaname's face lit up at the sight of her. As soon as she reach him, he took her hand, holding it tightly. Aina smiled and tired hard to concentrate to the vicar in front of her. She could feel Kaname's wondering eyes undressing her. She won't be surprised that as soon as they were announced husband and wife, he would take her where she stood. She held back her wave of nausea as she panic internally.
"If any person here knows of any cause or impediment why these two should not be joined together in holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace." The vicar spoke loudly, catching Aina's attention. A deafening silence filled the church. She held her breath, praying and wishing.
Just as the vicar was about to speak again, the church doors were thrown open. Aina almost collapsed in relief at the sight of him.
It was Rido.
He smirked at her as he saw her light up. She immediately went to run to him but Kaname grabbed her tightly, pulling her back to him. He squeezed down hard, trying to deter her from running again.
"You are not welcome here!" Kaname shouted at him.
"Let her go." Rido ordered as Aina fought against Kaname's grip. He held tightly on her arm, pulling her into his chest. His other reached out to hold onto her neck, hoping the threat of her neck being crushed would calm her down.
"She's mine!" Kaname turned to the vicar. "Keep going, you will marry us!" The vicar nodded and started speaking again. Aina screamed at Kaname before biting his hand in an attempt free herself. Kaname cursed at her, changing his grip, now holding her by her waist with both arms. She thrashed around in his arms, doing everything she could.
Rido growled and ran at them. While he had been recovering, he had been collecting more and more followers. He had brought them with him and had ordered for them to attack anyone helping Kaname.
The vicar had now fled the fighting, there was no way that he would be able marry them and keen himself alive.
Kaname chose to flee, taking Aina kicking and screaming with him. Rido followed closely behind. He had to get her back, safe. Kaname held Aina in front of himself, using her as a shield against Rido.
"Let her go Kaname, she doesn't want to be with you." Rido growled as he faced Kaname.
"I told you she is mine!" He shouted back at him. Kaname grabbed Aina's throat and pulled her head to the side, baring her neck to him. "Mine!" He bit into her skin roughly. She screamed from the pain. He held her still and she cried from his actions. She stayed still, even after he let her neck go, making her whimper. Rido watched in horror as Kaname ripped into her neck.
Once Kaname through she had given up fighting, Aina turned around in his hold. Distracting Kaname as he looked down at her. She smiled up at him, making him drop his guard. Aina knew the only way to get through to Kaname when he was angry was to be submissive to him, to please him.
"Kaname, have you ever wondered what my powers are?" She asked softly as she looked up into his eyes. He paused for a moment, she had never used her powers once around him. He didn't think she had ever used her powers. Rido had once witnessed her power once when she felt the garden needed some extra water.
"Yes, I wonder what they are and why you don't use them." He answered her. "Why don't you use them?" He asked confused.
"Because I promised Zero I would never use them, growing up I had no need or thought to use them." She told him.
"Why promise him that?" Kaname's voice was low as he asked.
"Because I was in love with him. He told me that he couldn't be with me while I used my powers against those he protected. So I stopped using them all together." She explained to him.
Suddenly it started rain, it had been completely clear, not even cloud in the sky before. "Do you like my power?" She asked as she looked up at the sky. Kaname looked up with a smile. She managed to step back in his loosened grip before he was struck by lightning.
Rido pulled Aina away as she gasped. She was always frightened by the ferocity of her power at times, especially with her lighting strikes. When she first started using her power, she would use it to make it snow or clear the clouds to see the moon and stars.
Kaname roared with anger. Lightning wasn't enough to kill him, but it was enough to make him incredibly angry.
"You will pay for that!" He shouted at her. Rido stepped in front of her, guarding her.
"You'll have to go through me first." Rido stated.
"It wouldn't be the first time." Kaname clapped back at him. Rido glared at him as he bit his finger, readying himself for the fight.
With both Aina and Rido against Kaname the fighting didn't last long. Aina kept a regular attack of lightning whenever Kaname stayed still long enough. She even hit a nearby tree with lightning in the hope it would set a light and damage Kaname in someway as he stood underneath it. Most of the hand to hand combat was done between Kaname and Rido.
Rido didn't want her getting within Kaname's grabbing distance. He knew as soon as Kaname had his hands on her, she would be used as a shield.
Rido stumbled, Kaname went to take his chance. Aina made the rain turn to hail, trying to make the hail as big as possible. She tried to aim for him but thousands of pieces of ice was harder to control than a single bolt of lightning. Seeing as her plan wasn't working, she launched herself at him.
She barged him out of the way, making him grunt as he saved himself from falling to the floor. Kaname looked back her and growled. "I could have given you everything you ever wanted!" He shouted at her, her eyes narrowed, something he had worked out she did when she was aiming lightning at him. He moved as quick as he could before he could be hit again. The damage from lightning was getting to him, it made his heart stop for a moment each time, his skin burned as the electricity carved its way through his flesh. He wondered just how many more hits he could take before she managed to burn him completely. Now he had to worry about the hail, growing bigger in size and falling harder.
"All I ever want, all I ever need is Rido." She told him calmly. Kaname growled. He had been so distracted by Aina, he had failed to notice Rido creeping up behind him.
Kaname made to run at her, hoping by flooring her, she would stop her attacks. But before her could take more than two steps, Rido's blood whip wrapped around his neck. He pulled Kaname back with such force, he fell to the ground. Rido took his chance to land the killing blow and Kaname shattered.
Aina fell to her knees and the skies cleared. Everything was calm once again. Rido ran to her side and held her. Their nightmare was now over.
