I do not own Vampire Knight, so I disclaim.

Chapter 14

Rima.

"Rima, is my lips' shade in contrast with my skin?"

"Yeah, it looks natural on you."

"That's good. You look pretty with your curls, by the way..."

"Prettier, you should say. But I feel quite ordinary without my pigtails on."

"Tush. Rima, we have time for that later."

"Yeah, whatever."

"and I might say we have a very loooong day ahead of us." Ruka said while palming her cheek.

"That's quite long." I said while yawning a little.

"You two, can't you be quiet?" Ichiru groaned, leaning his face on the limo's window. He had his eyes closed.

We just got on the limo, an hour ago we were half-awake while walking towards my house to prepare for Ichijou's party. The next thing we knew, a long vehicle was perching in front of our yard. This so-called long day started so early.

After Ichiru groaned, we kept silent. We also felt as sleepy, so we just kept our mouth shut to save up more energy, for we need it later more than ever, after such time that we lie lowed.

Ruka.

Guests were already scattered on every corner of the wide garden-yard behind Ichijou's manor. Even with all the huge statue-fountain, hedges and customized bushes, it still gave off a large space and comfortable ambiance at the same time.

"Guys! Glad you could all come!" Ichijou walked over to us with a huge grin on his face. "Ichiru!" He called him and made a manly handshake. "It's great to see you again!"

"Yeah man. It's been a couple of years since we last saw you. You look a lot decent now."

Ichijou beamed. "Well, I can't be cool now can I?"

"Nah. Tuxedos for geezers."

"And you're wearing one now?"

Ichiru just shrugged his shoulders. "Just preparing for the future."

Ichijou just chuckled and lead us to our designated table.

"I'll be back in a minute." He said and then greeted formal personalities.

Rima slumped on her seat and pouted. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"I'm hungry." She said, while placing a hand on her tummy.

"Me either." Ichiru seconded the motion.

"Well, I'm tired, so I'm staying here." I crossed my arms on the table and then lay my head on top.

"Fine." They both said. I heard their seats moving, and felt their presences leaving. After around 10 minutes or so, they're still not back. Okay, loner here.

"How come a pretty miss like you is all alone?"

I turned my head to the speaker. Blonde. Blue eyes. Pretty Boy. I simply shrugged my shoulders at him.

"Aidou," A husky voice called from the back. I raised my head to look at the owner of it...

And, our eyes met.

He held a stunned expression, but then relaxed his shoulders a little after. "Miss, is this kid bothering you?" He asked, boredom on his tone.

The pretty boy spun his body towards the speaker. "Cousin," he said, coolly.

"I don't let monkeys like you, hunting for decent women here, call me cousin."

The blonde boy narrowed his eyes at him. "I'll deal with you later, Akatsuki" And then he turned to me. "Hey, I'm Aidou. May I know your name, miss?" He smiled sweetly.

"Uh, no. You may not. Now, if you excuse me." I stood up from my seat and began searching for Rima and Ichiru.

Those two are gonna get a fit.

Ichiru.

"Food," Rima whispered.

"So many of them," I finished off.

We are currently standing in front of the buffet table for desserts. So much for a 'welcome home' party. Before I could even register what to pick up first, Rima got two huge platters from the side and handed one to me.

"Get 2 of everything. Or better yet, as much as we want." She ordered me and made a walk towards the chocolate section.

"Psh. K." I whispered and got as many as I want. Although I don't like sweets much, except for chocolates, maybe and vanilla... I like pastries. And keep that as a secret.

After I got my shares I walk over where Rima is.

"Yo! You done yet?"

"Hmmm?" She was currently munching on marshmallows from the chocolate fountain. It left a large stain on her cheek.

"Even though you've gone cool from noob. Chocolates seem to have not change their effects on you."

She rolled her eyes at me, and started rubbing her cheek.

"You're wiping at the wrong cheek." I leaned at her, licked my thumb and used it for removing the smudge on her cheek.

"Ew." She bit my hand.

"Ah! That hurts!" I backed.

"Your germs are on my face, you bozo." She hissed.

Good thing people are still busy chatting and all; else we've been the center of attraction here.

"Guys!"

"Yeah?"

"What took you so long?" Ruka looked a little frustrated than usual.

Rima and I grabbed our plates from the buffet table. She looked at them full of disgust.

"Ugh. PIGS."

"Speak for yourself." Rima and I spoke in unison.

"Nah, I'm sexy. C'mon, let's go back together."

Rima smirked. "Someone tried hitting on you again?"

Ruka scowled. "Am I really that beautiful?"

Rima and I looked at each other.

"Sorry Ruka, can't answer. We don't want to add more sins to our lists." I told her, shrugging.

"Damn you." She hissed and grabbed me by the collar towards a different table.

"Eh? This isn't our table." I said.

"Sssh." Rima shushed me and pointed at the pavilion in the middle of the place.

An old man was standing there, with Ichijou and a woman I am not familiar with.

Wait... don't tell me...
