Jealousy
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or any of its characters.
Author's Note: So Aidou was suggested by multiple reviewers and I must say I agree though he is going to be hard since I see him as harboring jealous towards both Yuuki and Kaname. The boy is confusing and rather passionate about things. This story covers events throughout the manga but mostly focuses on events after Chapter 35, May even contain Spoilers all the way up to Chapter 47. Set after Yuuki awakens.
Aidou
Kain sprawled rather lazily across his bed in the room he shared with Aidou watching his cousin pace the room frantically as he muttered to himself.
"Pureblood… her blood is sweet and delicious but this is Cross we're talking about!" Aidou pulled at his hair in frustration. "Clumsy, innocent, naïve, adorable little prefect Yuuki. She just can't be … can she?" He glanced at Kain for a response but the other boy just shrugged in a noncommittal fashion. Aidou growled out his confusing tugging harder on his hair. "I just can not imagine her as a vampire let alone a pureblood. An esteemed Kuran is completely out of the question!" The blonde continued his rant. Kain took a moment to be glad that his cousin had waited to break down in the privacy of their dorm room.
"You must admit that they always did have a resemblance to each other, Hanabusa." Kain said trying to calm the other boy down.
"Well yes but, but she was human!" He said holding his hands out in front of him. "I could never understand why he wasted so much time and energy doting on a human girl. Protecting her from trouble, which always seemed to follow her." Aidou started to pace once more as he rambled. "It all makes so much sense now!" He grabbed his head once more. "Her alluring scent, those captivating eyes, and her blood… oh her blood." The blonde's voice dropped as he remembered the sweet taste, his eyes tinting red before he jumped over to Kain. "Oh my lords I tasted her blood! A pureblood's blood!" He whimpered shoulders curling forward. "Kaname-sama is going to kill me." He squeeked eyes darting around searching for an imagined assassin. Kain shook his head wondering how he could be related to the sometimes moronic boy.
"If he intended to do that he would have easily done away with you when you first bit her." He reminded the blonde. Aidou nodded and relaxed.
"Of course." He murmured trying to regain some dignity. "It never would have happened had I known." He pointed out as well. "In fact, we could have helped protect her from other dangers. Why didn't he tell us? Did he not trust us?" He leaned against the edge of Kain's mattress. Kain put his hands behind his head. "I don't know, Hanabusa. I'm sure Kuran-sama has good reasons for his decisions." He carefully observed Aidou as the other boy stared at the door in thought. Aidou was remembering what little he had seen of Yuuki since her awakening.
"Her ancestry is so obvious now that I feel like an idiot for not seeing it earlier." The blonde muttered so softly even Kain's sensitive ears almost missed it. "Those eyes, her hair, so many of her features are purely Kuran." He sighed heavily. "She's the image of her mother." Aidou turned to Kain his demeanor serious. "I met them once, Juuri-sama and Haruka-sama." His posture straightened a bit before sagging back. "I still never realized it." His voice sounded a bit defeated. Kain reached over grabbing his cousin's shoulder to comfort him.
"No one noticed it." He reassures him. "The long hair helps to make it more obvious." He added in an attempt to be humorous. Aidou nodded.
"Her physical appearance has altered a bit since Kaname-sama awakened her hasn't it? We vampires are truly beautiful creatures." He commented in an odd tone. Kain frowned for a moment. "You don't have a crush on Yuuki-sama do you Hanabusa?" He asked carefully.
"Of course not!" Aidou denied quickly his cheeks going red. Kain narrowed his eyes.
"You've always had an unusual interest in her, even when she was just a prefect." Kain accused the blonde. Aidou reddened more and shook his head.
"I just wanted to know why someone as great as our leader Kaname-sama would be so interested in such a lowly, annoying, plain human girl." He said in a most dignified manner crossing his arms. Kain did not believe a word from his mouth. Aidou peeked over wondering if Kain bought his story. He had often been cruel and spiteful to the girl trying to convince himself that he was not and could never be attracted to a mere human child. At least now that she was a pureblood he would not have to continue to lie to himself. Kain narrowed his eyes at the redness of Aidou's ears.
"She belongs to Kaname-sama, Hanabusa." He warned the blonde in a serious tone. "They are engaged and I highly doubt he would have gone to all this trouble just to give her up." Aidou nodded his understanding.
"I know!" he exclaimed throwing his hands up. "It's just…" He paused for a moment. "It's nothing." He brushed away his thoughts and buried his ideas deep in the back of his mind. There was no reason for Kain to know about his hope that Yuuki might find him acceptable. After all purebloods often had noble lovers to strength the bloodlines of the lesser vampires.
Kain sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Your man-crush on Kaname-sama was bad enough but now you go and get yourself all attracted to Yuuki-sama too?!" He asked in an exasperated voice. "Ruka's hopes are impossible enough but Kaname-sama is possessive Hanabusa. Behave yourself or he might not be inclined to be as merciful as he was with you in the past." Kain warned harshly. He was growing more concerned for his rash and very impulsive cousin. He watch as Aidou nodded and made his way to bed. "I'm serious Hanabusa. You should just put such impossible ideas out of your mind or they will get you into trouble." Kain scolded more as he slid under his own comforter thinking about how exhausting it was going to be watching over both Aidou and Ruka these next few weeks.
Author's End Note:
Well this one came out a bit differently. You may get more Aidou later on. I intend to do Ruka and Ichijou next.
Sorry this took so long. I got pounded with a bunch of projects, labs, and exams the last few weeks. Just to let you know the more reviews I get the faster I update but don't expect consistent updates as I can get pretty busy. I tend to prefer reviews that are more then just "update soon", I also enjoy decent grammar and spelling. Please give some more in-depth reviews on what you think about the story. It helps me improve my writing and characterizations
