Chapter 9: Love…Hurts

A/N: I told my friend Laura about this chapter…. She says it's romantic. So of course I have to put in it here!

I hope you guys enjoy this…

That is all…

Now Usa had to know more about this Lucrecia.

"Was she pretty?"

"…"

"Was she nice?"

"…"

"Vincent…did you…love her?"

"That's enough!"

Usagi jumped at the raise in his voice.

"Sometimes, Vincent, I feel like you don't even care about me!" She yelled and ran out the door. Vincent sighed and watched out the window her running out of the house.

:::::::::
Usagi ran away. She ran until her feet were tired and she didn't know where she was. She panted with her hands on her knees. A purple curtain surrounded a shop. Usa went inside out of curiosity. The same Russian lady who had sold Usagi her clothes was now in front of a crystal ball.

"Yousniff work here, too?"

"As a matter a fact I do, dear. You look hurt. Is there anything wrong? Maybe boy troubles?"

Usagi pouted and sat down.

"I don't wanna talk about it."

'Maybe I went a little overboard? But she has to learn not to be to nosy.'

Vincent was unusually pacing around his room. He stopped in front of the mirror.

"Am I right?" He asked his reflection.

"Hell No!" The reflection replied.

"Who asked you?!"

Vincent put his fist through the mirror and smashed it into a million pieces. Something didn't feel right. And it wasn't the blood trickling down his hand. It was Usagi. He crushed the glass in his hands and ran out the door.

"A love potion! Really! Does it work?"

"Does it work? Of course it does, darling! All you have to do is think of the one you love and drink it all!"

"…All of it?"

"All of it!"
The Russian lady handed Usa the heart shaped bottle. Usagi slowly unscrewed the cork. She closed her eyes and thought of Vincent. Did she really love him? Did she care if he was quiet, and had a secret past, and a claw? Of course not. Did she love him? Absolutely.

Usagi took a sip of the love potion. Ew, bitter. She drank more of it, but a quarter of the way down she started coughing. None other than Vincent took the bottle out of her hands. Usagi watched drunkenly as he gulped the rest of the potion down, broke the bottle, and pressed Usagi's lips to his.

Usagi, shocked, was getting her first kiss. It was a passionate, long, opened mouth kiss. We he pulled away Usagi was confused. Weren't they just in a fight? The Russian lady was pissed, and she ripped off her facemask to reveal herself as….

Rosso The Crimson.

"You knew that was poison! My plan was going perfectly!" She shouted at Vincent.

Usagi understood now. Vincent drank the poison so she wouldn't drink the rest, and kissed the remaining poison off in a lip-lock with Usagi. He had saved her life!

Vincent fell to the ground.

"Vincent!" Usagi cried.

Usa sat by his side, cradling his head in her arms.

"Don't die now, Vincent! I have something to tell you!"

Usagi's tears fell on Vincent's pale face. Usagi looked up at Rosso.

"Who's going to save you now, little girl?"

End of Chapter 9
