(Kaname's POV)

Amaya whispered, 'I'm sorry.' then walked out. I felt my heart shatter when the I heard the click of the door sound.

"There is no way this is ending this way." I said aloud to myself.

"There's no way what is going to end?" This voice startled me. I hadn't heard this familiar voice since that fateful night over a year ago. It amazes me how he knows when to show up, but I guess he wouldn't be my best friend if he didn't know how to do what he does. I realized I was gaping at him. He chuckled. "I did it again didn't I?"

"Yes. You somehow always know when to show up, Ichijo." I couldn't help but smile a little at my old friend. The smile was short lived though because I still had Amaya on my mind.

"So why don't you tell your perfectly-timed friend what just happened?" He asked. Concern dripping his voice. The best thing about Takuma Ichijo is that his feelings of concern and worry for me are genuine. He's one of the only people I can trust.

I said only one word, "Amaya."

I had told him about her before, so he understood immediately.

"Ah. I see. So what happened?" He sat in the chair across from me and I relayed everything that happened the past few days. After I was done, he sat there quietly for a minute. It was like he trying to carefully form a response.

"Well... I...I'm not exactly sure what to say to that. That's a lot to have happened in the past few days, but everything happens for a reason right? So why not look at this as a way to have an even stronger relationship with her. That is if she will ever talk to you again."

I nodded in agreement.

"Wow. She must be really getting to you then. You normally would have at least shot a dirty look my way at what I said."

"Why would I when it's true?" I replied.

"Well you stay right here and I'll be right back." At this the overly-energetic vampire jumped up from his seat and bounded over to the door.

"Where are you going, Ichijo?" I asked but he just simply gave me a grin and walked out.

(Amaya's POV)

I was walking aimlessly down the road when someone stopped me.

"Hey! You're Amaya-sama right?" I nodded. "My name's Takuma Ichijo. I didn't get to greet you at the party."

"Hello Takuma." I said. I was really confused at this energetic vampire.

"It amazes me how a gorgeous girl like you isn't engaged."

I was taken aback at how he came to this conclusion. "And how would you know that I am not engaged?"

"Oh you hear things at soirées." He shrugged. "I don't believe 99% of the things I hear. I just amazes me how Aristocrats will try to use Purebloods like they do. Most Purebloods just want someone to trust other than themselves and other Purebloods."

"It's sounds like you're close to a Pureblood." I replied.

"Yeah. I'm pretty much his only trustworthy friend. Well not his only but pretty darn close."

"Does he know you're out wandering about?"

"Nope. We were talking and I ran out because I forgot to greet you."

"He didn't reprimand you for just running out?" I asked appalled.

"No I do that a lot. He's used to it by now. Plus, like I said before I'm his friend. Not his servant. So I have the freedom to do whatever."

"You don't obey Purebloods?" I asked getting even more confused.

"Well yes, but he's been my friend for years so I'm allowed to mess with him by principle."

"Oh I see, and who's your friend?" I asked interested in who would allow reckless behavior like his.

"Just someone. You might know him, might not. Not a lot of people know we're friends so we like to keep it secret. Specially since he's anti-senate and I'm supposed to be pro-senate. So back to our original topic. How can someone like you not be engaged to anyone?"

I hesitated. "I'm technically engaged, but he broke my heart a while ago and now I don't want anything to do with him."

"So do you still love him?"

"Very much." I whispered.

"Well I have faith everything will work out perfectly. I promise." He smiled then turned and walked away. I was so completely confused by this guy. I shook it off and started to walk again when I was stopped by another vampire.

"Amaya-sama!" It was Ruka. She was out of breath like she had been running after me for awhile.

"Ruka. What are you doing out here?"

"Well I figured you had nowhere to stay so I was going to offer that you stay with me and my cousins."

"Hmm... I actually hadn't thought that I had nowhere to stay so thank you Ruka that would be nice." I smiled at her.

"Great! So I'll have our driver come pick us up here."

"How will your driver find us out here?" I asked her.

"I had Aido call him before I left and to follow me. So he should be here any minute."

I nodded, and sure enough the car was there within minutes. We got in and went to her house. On the way there I thought back to the first time Kaname and I met.

I was so excited I was attending my first soirée. I heard that the most handsome Pureblood was going to be there. I couldn't wait to meet him if I could.

When I arrived at the soirée everyone was dressed extravagantly. I was hoping to be acceptable. Is it weird for a Pureblood to have these insincerities? Well not matter, I had them and they were nerve racking.

When I entered the dance hall everyone turned towards me and bowed or curtsied. There were murmurs of how lovely I looked and how nice it was to finally meet me. I greeted anyone who walked up to me. Then that one person that I had been wanting to meet walked up to me.

He bowed and said, "Hello. I am Kaname."

I nodded respectively. "I am Amaya. How do you do?"

He chuckled. "So formal. It's cute. They're about to play my favorite song. Would you like to dance with me?"

"I would love to but I'm not a great dancer." I smiled sheepishly.

"That's ok. I'll walk you through it." He smiled and held out his hand. I took it and we went to the center of the dance floor. The music started and we started moving to the music. We were dancing a Waltz I believe. He was so graceful and strong. I was worried I was making him look bad. When the song ended he lead me off the dance floor and off to the side.

"You're a wonderful dancer." He complimented me.

"Not as amazing as you though." I replied.

"Don't ever doubt yourself. Don't let anyone ever tell you, you are not good at something. Not even yourself. You were wonderful and you look stunning. I will remember this night forever." I was blushing like crazy. I couldn't believe that he was saying all these things to me of all people. Me.

"You can't mean all that." I said.

"But I do. I mean every word of it." He was looking me dead in the eyes. I was so mesmerized I couldn't look away though I wanted to because I was so nervous and his unwavering gaze was making it worse. "You know you're cute when you blush."

This made me blush even harder. He chuckled. "It seems I keep leaving you speechless."

"Yeah, I keep worrying I'm going to pass out I'm so nervous." I clamped my hand over my mouth. Horrified at what I just said.

He chuckled again. It may be cute when he does that but it's even more nerve racking. He reached his hand up, gently grabbed my hand, and pulled it away from my mouth.

"Don't worry about what you just said. I'm flattered. It's also refreshing to see a Pureblood have the personality you do. It's unusual but adorable. I'm going just going to have to work that much harder to get you to talk to me more. So why don't we meet up again. Say tomorrow?"

I was shocked. This couldn't possibly be happening! "S-sure" I replied.

"Great." He smiled. "Meet me back here at sunset and we'll go from there."

"Ok." I smiled back.

"We're here." Ruka announced. I nodded and followed her into her house. She showed me the room I would be staying in and gave me something to sleep in. "We could go shopping tomorrow for some clothes for you?"

"Yeah that sounds good." I replied.

Ruka smiled. "Good. So I'll just leave you in peace."

"Thank you Ruka."

"My pleasure Amaya-sama." She bowed.

"Goodnight Ruka." I said before she walked out.

"She stopped, turned back around, smiled, and said "Goodnight, Amaya-sama."

She walked out and when she did my thoughts immediately went back to Kaname. I sighed. This is going to be a long night.

Well I kind of surprised myself on this one. I had no idea where this was going but I thought it turned out pretty well.

Do you guys think Amaya is a Mary Sue? I really don't want her to be and nobody likes a Mary Sue. So if you guys think she is then please tell me! =)

Oh and R&R please! And Thank you to all the readers who waited through my writer's block! I love you all!

So until next time!
