Alexander woke up to hear loud music playing. As he wakes, he bangs his head against the top of his coffin, runs out, bangs into the door, and runs out of his bedroom. Kaname walks by with a coke in his hand.
"Where's the music coming from?" Alexander asks, rubbing his head.
Kaname points to the girl's room.
Alexander nodded. "Thanks, Kaname…" He quickly looks outside to see the sun setting across the horizon. He, then, ran into the girl's room.
Yureika looks up and sees Alexander in the doorway. Rima doesn't notice him and keeps rocking to the music. Yureika glares at Alexander. "You pervert! We could have been undressed and you wouldn't find out until after you opened the door!"
Alexander blushed.
Yureika stood up. She was wearing black short sleeved shirt and a black skirt. Yureika walks over to Alexander. "Alex, Alex, Alex…you just don't understand the work of…"
Before she could finish, Alexander poked her ears.
"Oi!!" Yureika pushed Alexander out of the door and locked the door.
Alexander stared at the door for a moment. He rubbed his head and turned around to go get breakfast. As he walked downstairs, Kaname was talking to Takuma.
"Takuma…pleeease! Watch Aido this time. Who knows what will happen if he is let alone. Remember last time—"
"Oh, JEEZ Kaname!" Takuma put his hands over his ears. "Don't remind me…jeez."
Kaname looked outside as Takuma walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, vampire-boy-that's-not-like-us, what's for breakfast?" Aido ran up and practically jumped onto Alexander's back.
"Ah!" Alexander looked back at Aido. "And I have a name, you know!"
Aido nodded. 'Yea, I know. But "vampire-boy-that's-not-like-us' fits you better than, 'Alexander'" Aido exaggerated on "Alexander" as if it was some kind of bomb. Aido ran to the fridge to see what kind food there was.
Alexander rubbed his head. "'Alexander' is simpler."
Aido looked up at Alexander with a turkey leg in his mouth. Blood come down off his cheeks as he took a huge bite out of it.
"Hey! That was for lunch! Ugh…never mind…guess we will just have some raw meat…" Alexander glared at Aido as he got out some special cereal.
Kaname entered the kitchen. "You still have that chess set that I bought you a decade ago?"
Alexander remembered it perfectly. Problem was, he forgot where it was. "Uh…yea…what about it…" Alexander took his cereal and went to the living room.
Kaname followed him. "I wanted to know if you kept it or not?"
Alexander was about to answer, but thankfully got saved by the fox-demon.
Yureika jumped up from the living room couch, scaring Alexander, and jumped onto Kaname, sending him onto his back, on the floor.
Kaname laughed. "Hey, was up?"
Yureika smiled and said, "I just scared Alex down to his underwear!" Yureika jumped up and went over to Alexander. "You were soooo scared! "
Alexander smiled, nervously. He never saw a girl so cute before. "Uh….not really…"
Yureika poked his cheeks. "You're BLUSHING!!!"
"No I'm not!" Alexander moved away from Yureika, placing his cereal on the coffee table. Even though Yureika was cute, it wouldn't change that fact that Raven was beautiful and he was in love with her. Alexander looked over at Yureika who had a fox-demon-puppy-face on her. Alexander sighed. "Okay, yea. I was a little scared. But other than that, I wasn't. I just wasn't expecting you."
Yureika smiled.
Kaname went over to Yureika and kissed her cheek. "That's my little fox-demon." He laughed and went over to the couch and sat down.
~*~
Raven looked outside at the sky. It was almost dawn. Raven hurriedly grabbed her backpack and went outside. She couldn't wait to see Alexander and his….uh…guests. Raven thought for a second, as she got out her bike. What kind of vampires can they be? Will they bite me? Raven cleared her head as she started her way to her Knight of the Night, Alexander.
~*~
Yureika jumped up and ran over to Alexander. "Alex! Alex! Alex! Alex!!" Yureika jumped on top of Alexander. "Want to play a game?"
Alexander let out a little noise that sounded like, "Ugh". Alexander looked up at Yureika and tried to get up, but the fox-demon was putting all her weight on him. Alexander sighed. "What kind of game are you thinking of?"
Yureika smiled and was about to get off of Alexander when the door to the front door opened. Yureika looked at the door.
Alexander looked at the door. His eyes grew big. "Raven!" He, then, realized what the picture looked like.
Before he could get a word out, Raven spoke softly, "Alexander…." She turned around and ran out the door, leaving it open.
"Raven!"
Yureika jumped up so Alexander could go chase after Raven. Yureika looked at Kaname in guiltiness.
Kaname walked over to Yureika. "It'll be okay. I know Alexander. He's good with words and I know he loves Raven. He mentioned her in his letter he sent to me before we came over." Kaname went over to the door and closed it.
~*~
Raven was quickly running, forgetting her bike as she ran back home, in tears. She heard Alexander call her name as she went across the street to the other side. Raven ran faster.
Alexander chased after Raven. When he realized she wasn't headed towards her home, he ran faster. "Raven!"
Raven ran to the cemetery. She doesn't know why she was, but she just felt it was right. Jasper and Luna were gone, and so was Valentine, or so she believes. She jumped the fence, landed in the cemetery, and ran towards Alexander's grandmothers grave. She was about there when a hand pulled her back behind a tree and covered her mouth.
Alexander ran up to the cemetery fence and looked for Raven. But he couldn't find her. He started to yell her name. "Raven?"
Raven struggled for freedom, but the person didn't let go. She bit his hand, but it didn't budge him. Having a small opening, she screamed. The hand came back over her mouth.
"Raven!" Alexander jumped the fence and ran to where he heard her scream.
Raven felt fangs come across her neck. She started moving and screaming behind the hand frantically. The fangs bit in and her eyes widen.
~*~
Kaname turned around and started looking for his companions. "Everyone, in the living room now!"
Slowly, everyone started into the living room. Shiki rubbed his eyes, Akatsuki yawned and rubbed his stomach, Ruka sat down next to Yureika, Zero just looked into the room from the staircase, Yureika stood next to Kaname, Takuma finished combing his hair and sat down on the arm of the couch, and Rima sat down in an open chair. Kaname looked around carefully. "Where's Aido?"
~*~
Alexander ran around to face Raven being bitten. "Raven!" He ran over to her and punched the vampire in the face, kicked him in the…, punched him in the stomach, smashed his head in the tree, and threw him to the ground. He picked Raven up. "Raven, you okay?" Alexander helped her up and looked at the other vampire.
He got up with blood all over his face.
Kaname ran up, smoothly, with everyone else following. He went over to the vampire and laughed. "Serves you right, Aido." Kaname smacked him in the head.
Alexander looked at Aido with the scariest death glare you could ever imagine. "Aido…."
Aido finished rubbing the blood off his face and looked up at Alexander. He gulped.
Raven was holding her neck, waiting to become a vampire. She didn't understand why it was taking so long.
Kaname sighed. He walked over to Raven, made sure he could touch her. And with a nod of the head, Kaname took Raven's hand that was covering her neck. "You don't need to worry…you won't become a vampire. Only a pure-blood, like me, could turn you into one."
Raven quickly took her hand back and nervously smiled. She hid behind Alexander who was starting to breathe regularly again.
Kaname nodded. "It's okay to be scared of me. I don't mind." Kaname then turned to Aido.
"I was just…"
Kaname slapped him across the face. "You idiot! We have blood tablets for a reason!"
Aido looked at the ground; know his punishment was going to be harsh.
Kaname looked back at Alexander. "I'm sorry. Head back to the house." Everyone followed Kaname back to the house.
Alexander looked at Raven with tears in his eyes.
Raven looked back up at him. Then remembering about him and that other girl, she pushed him away.
Alexander sighed. "Raven, what you saw isn't what you think."
"Oh, really. Then what was she doing on top of you?"
"She wanted to play a game. And, plus, she is weird." Alexander smiled and hugged Raven from behind. "No matter what, Raven. The only person I care about…" Alexander turned Raven around and made her look at him. "Is you…" He gently kissed her lips.
~*~
Raven woke up the next morning, still in the kissing position. She was confused. The last thing she remembered was riding her bike to Alexander's……then it was all a blur. Raven got up and looked outside. It was a Saturday. Usually, she was in Alexander's coffin, sleeping with him. She sighed, knowing it was too late to wake him up.
Raven went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. When she looked into the mirror, she looked at her neck. She was confused why she was, but her mind told her to look at her neck. Two little-like-dots were on her neck. She rubbed her finger over them. She looked at her fingers. Make-up. She looked back into the mirror. Why isn't my reflection gone? Raven touched the mirror. She ran her fingers down the mirror, looking at herself.
Her mother interrupted her thoughts. "Hunny, it's time for breakfast."
Raven looked away from the mirror and nodded.
Her mother looked at the mirror and back at Raven. "What were you doing to the mirror?"
Raven smiled. "Uh…nothing. I just thought I saw a smudge. I was wiping it off."
Her mother nodded. "Alright. Well hurry, you don't want your food to get cold."
~*~
Kaname looked outside at the sky. He realized that it was morning. He sighed and closed his book and lay down in bed to go to sleep.
A jump on the bed kept him from going to sleep. "Hey, hunny…" Kaname turned over to face Yureika.
Yureika smiled. She had on a black, above the knees, night gown. Kaname smiled. "You seductive fox-demon."
"You know it." She smiled and lay next to Kaname. "Raven's blood smelled really good…no wonder why Aido bit her. I know better, but if I was Aido, I would have bitten her too."
Kaname sighed. "Yea…I would of too. But, even still, Aido should have been smarter. He knows the punishment for biting a human."
Yureika nodded. She cuddled next to Kaname and sighed.
Shiki ran into the room. "Yureika! You stole my pocky again!!"
Yureika jumped up and ran to the other side of the room. "Catch me if ya can!"
Shiki ran towards Yureika, but got tripped over by Kaname. "Hey!"
Kaname smiled. "I'll buy you another one. Just, please. Go to bed..."
Shiki sighed. "Alright..." Then left the room.
****
Kaname woke up to a crash outside his door. Not wanting to wake up Yureika…oh wait. She is already up… Kaname ran to the door and looked outside.
Shiki and Akatsuki looked up with shocked faces. They pointed at each other and said, "He did it!"
Kaname smiled, which made Shiki and Akatsuki relax a bit. "You guys broke Yureika's gift, didn't you?"
Shiki bit his lip. "Uh…" He said nervously.
Akatsuki slowly nodded.
A crack on the wall showed up behind Kaname.
Shiki, still on the floor, backed away from Kaname. Akatsuki followed.
Another crack appeared on the wall, behind Shiki and Akatsuki's head. Shiki stood up. "Well…" He quickly ran off, Akatsuki following him.
Cracks on the wall followed them all the way to their bedroom doors.
Alexander ran up the stairs, to the sound of the cracking noise. He looked at Kaname, then the wall. His eyes widen. "Kaname!"
Kaname looked at Alexander.
Alexander backed away. "What happened?" Alexander saw the blood-redness in Kaname's eyes.
Kaname didn't reply. Instead, he went back into his room, slamming the door.
Alexander looked down to see broken glass on the floor. Alexander bent down and picked it up. The glass looked so familiar. Somewhere in Alexander's memory, this piece of glass must have been a rose. Then it hit him. Kaname's grandmothers rose from her husband! Alexander quickly picked up the pieces and ran up to the attic. He placed the pieces onto an open table that he recently put there. He ran to his paint dresser and pulled out some special glue. He went back to the table and started to glue the pieces back together. Thankfully, his grandmother taught him how to glue glass back together when he broke her favorite vase. Good thing was, the rose was in bigger pieces than the vase was.
~*~
Raven looked up the doorstep of Alexander's place. She quickly turned around to face the someone who sneaked up behind her. "Who is there?"
Akatsuki came from the shadows. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just taking a walk." Akatsuki smiled, which made Raven blush a bit. Akatsuki looked at her neck.
Raven looked back up at the house. "What do you guys usually do?"
Akatsuki shrugged. "Nothing really. I'm sorry about last night, by the way."
Raven looked at Akatsuki. "What do you mean?"
Akatsuki looked at Raven in confusion. "I mean when Aido---" A sudden wind blew by, knocking Akatsuki onto the road.
Kaname came down the steps of the house. "I'm sorry, Raven." Kaname went up to Akatsuki. "Idiot." But instead of slapping him, he helped get him up off the ground. He'd do that later…
Raven looked at them. "Uh…I'm going to go see Alexander…"
Kaname looked at Raven. "I'm sorry, but he told me that no one could come in today. He said he has a lot on his mind and would like to think for a while." Kaname bowed, took Raven's hand, kissed it, and said, "See ya later." Kaname shoved Akatsuki back into the house, leaving Raven alone outside.
~*~
Alexander placed his hands on his head. He couldn't get the picture of Aido biting Raven out of his head. The memory played over and over again in his head. He slowly started to cry.
A knock at the door interrupted him. He wiped his face. "Come in."
Kaname walked in. "Raven came by."
"Did you tell her I'm busy?"
"Yes."
Alexander turned towards Kaname. "Thanks…I'll have to repay her later…"
Kaname nodded. He turned to leave, but before he left, he spoke softly, "I erased her memory of her being bitten by Aido." He turned back to Alexander. "Do you want me to do the same for you?"
Alexander shakes his head. "No. I don't want to forget."
"Why?"
Alexander looked out the window. "So I can realize how precious she is to me…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sorry it took so long for me to finish this one up. I haven't had much of computer time. But, I will try to get on more so I can type these up more. Sorry.
