UPDATED 16-06? OH MY GAWD :O

Chapter 12

If Eva could laugh right now without getting shot, she would. The look on Jessica's, Stan's, Koji's and even Aikka's face were hilarious. Jessica was nearly wiggling her eyebrows at Eva, for what reasons she didn't dare to ask. Koji was exchanging looks between her and the Nourasion. Stan looked all protective and dangerous. And Aikka just sat there looking like her didn't give a shit.

Pardon her language.

Stan and Aikka had been bickering a little over the last five minutes when she forced them to believe her statement about how not-dangerous he is. Well, not now. He could be… but he won't do anything when she asks him right?

Suddenly she felt her fingers being parted as another hand intertwined its own fingers with her. She blushed a little when Aikka leaned in more, pulling Eva to him and smiling mischievous at Stan.

Oh, she was bait now? How rude.

If they were a cartoon, one of Stan's veins would've popped out. Yet, he only glared extremely deathly before standing up and leaving the room, Jessica following him with the glance that said 'I'll make sure he doesn't kill anyone'.

Koji remained in the room before exchanging looks between me and Aikka and leaving. So now they understood when she wanted privacy? Maybe she should bring Aikka more often; they seemed so much more willing to listen to her.

"You didn't have to threaten them." she murmurs while pushing herself away from him, and he sighed annoyed as he let her go.

"At least they got the point." He said, scrunching his nose. For him it smells even worse in here. "I can't believe he actually thought I was going to stay in this rat-hole." He thought aloud and Eva chuckled at it. Even if he wanted he wouldn't, he had a palace to return to.

He touched her newly bandaged wrists for a while, and Eva knows it must've frustrated him he couldn't come any earlier. In fact, she was happy with it, because that way she had been able to prove that he wouldn't hurt her. She was bleeding and all but kept close to her nonetheless, his eyes only a little black.

"I should get going." He said mildly annoyed and he stood up quickly, making for the door. Eva realized with a frown he must've memorized the halls already. Stupid superiority abilities…

Eva jumped up and followed him quietly so that people who didn't notice him before – she wondered if that was possible – wouldn't get a heart attack or shoot him. He might be super-man in abilities; he was just like any other Nourasion and would die from the Drudger blood.

Once outside, he sniffed the new air thankfully and Eva grinned awkwardly at him. Then his expression changed again, more serious.

"You actually have Drudger's blood in your bullets…" He said after a while, seeming to think aloud. Eva bit her lip, expecting that.

"That concerns me." He stated dryly and Eva nervously smiled at him. "We have to defend ourselves, you know."

"Yes, I do." Aikka replied quietly, looking at her for a while, making Eva wonder what he was thinking. Then he smiled mockingly. "I guess I will have to lay down contact with you then? Imagine you accidentally pull the trigger."

Eva playfully pouted and put her hands on her hips. "Yes, that might be the best thing. I wouldn't want my toy to get killed now do I?"

"Your toy? By all means Eva, I think that is quite the opposite." He retorted and Eva grinned brightly. "Oh really? I don't like being inferior, you know."

"You already are."

"I don't believe it." Eva pointed out, raising her eyebrows at him and not moving an inch when he closed in on her ever so dangerously. He grinned his fangs bare at her in an attempt to make her only a little scared, but Eva already got used to them. His cold hands made contact with her bare arms and she shivered, but not from the cold. Never from the cold. That too was a thing she got used to. He smirked at her, pulling her closer and pressing his lips against her neck, making her knees practically weak with the radiation he was sending her. That was something she wasn't used too. "It might be better though." Aikka murmured distastefully and Eva sighed annoyed, knowing the following conversation out of her head.

"No matter how many times you try this, it won't work. Haven't you figured that out yet?" Eva murmured and he smiled lightly, before pressing her lips somewhere Eva actually really wanted them.

She closed her arms behind his neck and pressed back immediately, not letting him get in control. Dirty thoughts ran through her mind for just a second before she held in a giggle and just concentrated on the wonderful kissing.

She didn't know if they ran through Aikka's mind too, but he did push her up to a nearby tree and she did allow him to guide her legs around his waist. He parted from her lips giving her a whole halve second to catch her breath before capturing her lips again, eagerly parting them and deepening it. Before him, Eva had never really 'frenched' before. She might admit she was nervous the first time, but she wouldn't admit it to him. Still, he was way better at it then her – in her opinion. He seemed to do things with his tongue that could send her off her conscious immediately. Maybe he indeed was more superior then her. Oh well…

He left her lips and started kissing her neck tentatively when Eva grinded against him, instantly regretting it. However, he didn't pull away like she thought he would. He did hiss and left her neck immediately, Eva reckoned he didn't want to be in such a place right now. He kissed her lips again and grinded back, which made her moan.

That was enough reason for him to pull away. He didn't pull away as fast as last time, and gently put her down on the ground, before stepping back, his eyes closed and he breathed in deeply before looking at her. Eva's face must've been flushed with colour and the look in Aikka's eyes told her she had a whole different look on her own face.

"I don't want to imagine the things I could do to you when…" He paused as her face got even redder, and smiled carefully when she cast her look downwards.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said before giving her forehead a kiss, and he sped out of sight. Eva groaned and sat down, hands at her stomach and her eyes closed.

"Good morrow my fair lady," Aikka stated and Eva scowled. "It's not even seven yet. Whaddya want?" He feigned a hurt look but Eva didn't even care – it was seven am. Way too fucking early. And how did he come in here safely anyway?!

He grinned and walked over to her. "I had the day off and thought I might spend it with you." A light bulb went of in Eva's head as she realized what he was saying. "Really?" He nodded. "Aw, that's sweet!" She squealed, pressing her face in his shirt when he came closer. He chuckled and wrapped his arms around her.

"How did you get in here, actually?" he didn't respond to that and Eva sighed – he was a vampire after all. Or maybe Koji just let him in that easily.

"I need to get dressed first. No way I'm going outside in my panties."

"Why not? I like that on you."

Eva bet he did. She stuck out her tongue at him before leaving into the tiny bathroom – it was cramped, really – and changing to some more decent clothes. When she came out Aikka eyed her critically.

"…What?"

"You could've just changed in here as well – saved you trouble."

"You're really perverted today, aren't you?" Eva shot back, a little wary and he grinned. "Ready?"

"Yeah, yeah."

As they quickly left the base – Eva didn't want anyone to get a good look at the Nourasion in here – she was greeted by G'dar, flying in the air. After all those weeks, Eva had become quite attached of the over-sized beetle and it was almost natural seeing him here. She couldn't imagine ever being frightened of tiny beetles while she squealed over a life-sized one… but maybe that was just her.

"Say," Eva suddenly murmured as they were randomly walking to get to the open place in the forest. "Don't you ever… wonder how I taste?" She asked carefully and he tensed, but kept on walking anyway. Maybe that was a touchy subject. Maybe? She knew it was.

"Of course." He replied after a while, and it occurred to Eva he might've already tasted it when he sucked the venom out of her leg. "And you… never want to… you know, try it?"

"Where are you heading to, Eva?" Aikka asked indirectly, looking straightforward. Eva shrugged. "I'm just wondering."

He nodded and continued walking without saying a word. However, the subject didn't leave Eva's mind yet. In fact, she had been wondering about that for a long time. You would think he'd want to taste it, seeing Nourasions were quickly attracted to human blood. And, if she were to believe him, he would long for it even more because he hadn't drank human blood anymore since he met her. Didn't that feel like…quitting alcohol or smoking? Like an addiction… where were the consequences, the shivers, paranoia? Or maybe that was only for humans. He drank (animal?) blood… Crogg blood? Ew! She didn't want to go there.

"I wouldn't mind if you'd ask me or something." She flapped out, while she really just meant to say it in her head. He turned around to look at her as she had stood still with her stupid mistake and eyed her suspiciously. "You want to die?" he asked her, completely serious. She quickly shook her head.

"Then stop talking nonsense this instant." He said coldly before eyeing G'dar who was circling above them. "I'm not talking nonsense!" Eva shot back. "There are millions of ways to get my blood without killing me. You know that. Besides, I don't long for it or something."

"They say that vampires get aroused by tasting the blood of their lovers. That's why they bite each other during sex."

…Eva hid a blush easily and blinked. What was that change of subject? Wait! Was that why he always stopped kissing her? She knew it had something to do with her scent, but was it also because he was longing for it much more than he should? "I don't want to hurt you." Eva blinked as he was suddenly in front of her and nodded. "I know. But you won't." She replied quietly and he leaned in slightly, closing his eyes. "I can and will." He mildly threatened as Eva leaned in as well. He straightened up immediately and began walking again.

"Come on, G'dar's already gone further."

"Aikka." Eva called defiantly and he stopped to look at her again, mildly annoyed. "I hate it when you do that."

"Do what?"

"Walk away with no apparent reason. It's annoying." Eva stated, sitting down on a large stump. He sighed and walked over to her, kneeling down in front. "Then what do you want to talk about right now?" Eva shrugged.

"I don't know. Depending on your mood. Are you okay or irritated?"

He smiled lightly. "Depends on your behaviour. Are you okay or - " Eva huffed.

"Smart-ass. You know pretty well what I'm talking about." With a swift motion she made a small cut in her hand on a sharp branch sticking out and held it right in front of her face. "You want it, don't you? I don't mind, as long as you don't bite." Almost immediately Aikka's eyes focused on the cut, and Eva finally saw how the blue would get dark without him blinking. Pretty fascinating… as if someone coloured it in. "Come on," Eva urged, a little nervous. She knew it would mean… a lot. Yeah. But that didn't matter. Eva wanted him for herself anyway. He wasn't supposed to 'bite' any other vampires – or humans for that cause. Only her. Even if it meant she would die.

"I love you Eva," Aikka murmured. "But I won't hesitate to lock you up in your base if it would mean you would stop this ridiculous behaviour."

Ouch. She glared hard at him and balled her hand into a fist, feeling some blood trickling down and falling down on the ground. He glared right back at her, as a master training its puppy, and Eva sighed, defeated. "I'm sorry." She muttered and he nodded, standing up. "You need to bind that cut up," He said, walking back to the base.

"It's okay; I have a small medicine kit." She replied, fishing out a small box out of her pocket. It only consisted of a tiny tube antibiotic and bandage, but it was enough. She spurt some of the fluid on her hand, gently rubbed it over the cut and bound it up quickly. "Done. We need to bring those things with us 24/7." She explained uselessly before standing up.

He nodded briefly and started walking the same direction again. Eva followed, feeling a little more cold then usual; had she just been rejected? Bleh, what an ugly feeling.

R&R! :D
