~Rose of Decade~ {Chp.18} ~

ALSO KAMIJO P.O.V

The meeting continued for a while, Jasmine talked about how a few small villages were starting to rebel, wishing to be part of my lands instead of my rival's. I suppose that was a positive thing, despite the fact I was hardly outside, humans still trusted me and saw me as their leader, even starting to rebel against their current land lords so they could move to my lands.

Of course those things also brought trouble; Jealousy is one of human's greatest mistakes. True, vampires were jealous at times but Humans, their emotions…They were so extreme especially the negative ones!

I Watched as Teru and Yuki started to sip from their tea that had been served by some random, human maid, my eyes soon moving towards my dear old friend Jasmine You. For a moment I sat there, looking at the witch, resting my chin on my folded hands. The other stared back at me with a knowing smile, making me raise my eyebrow in curiosity. Had the other honestly figured it all out?

About… my rose?

About my beautiful Hizaki, whom I from now on protect forever?...Or well until he had taken his final breath.

I watched as Teru and Yuki stood up, doing so myself, looking over at Jasmine, who smiled at me once more " I will be back shortly" I said, before showing the other two out.

Teru seemed to be such a quiet boy, it made me wonder what he was like before his memory loss, though I doubt it would change much now, both him and Yuki seemed to be rather…Close.

I watched them leave, riding their horses going towards the setting sun. I was a lucky vampire that had managed to see the daylight again, somehow made myself immune to those normally deadly rays of the sun.

Soon though I closed the door and turned around, my cape floating a bit behind me as I did, my eyes watching as my dear friend stood there atop of the staircase. He knew something…

The witch always knew things about me; it astonished me every single time.

"My dear friend I have never seen you like this before, your mind truly is clouded, if not worse" Jasmine spoke whilst I walked up the stars, smirking slightly at his comment "Please, let us continue indoors, I do not wish for unwanted listeners to know the information I am about to share" I spoke, though the seriousness clearly showing as it sounded more like a demand

" Of course" he said, quickly moving back into the room we were in previously.

I followed and shut the door, sighing as I strolled back to my own seat at the head of the table, looking at my friend as my hands moved to grip at the chair; my body remaining standing as I was nervous.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a moment, before moving my gaze towards the red roses that were on the table, immediately thinking of the most beautiful rose I have ever known; Hizaki.

"My dear Kamijo, can it be? Have you fallen in love? Have the stars not lied to me?" I heard Jasmine speak, making me nod my head, a small blush creeping onto my cheeks as the other squealed slightly as my secret was revealed.

"Tell me all about her" he continued, sounding like a curious child, making me smile slightly, my fangs showing as I moved to sit on the table "I never said it was…a 'her' " judged by the gasp that escaped Jasmine I knew he was shocked.

True I may not seem homosexual, nor do I think I am, actually I am pretty sure I am bisexual, but that was not the point, such things were clearly forbidden and my dear witch knew everything about those forbidden things. Especially because he was already going against the human law by wearing a dress.

I looked at my dear friend and sighed slightly, my gaze moving back to the roses again " He…Has been working for me for a while, the one that ran away from me last time the one th-" I started before I got cut off by Jasmine talking " You mean the ungrateful one that ran off despite the good treatment? The one that nearly made you blow your cover?" He close to shrieked making my ears hurt slightly.

The only response I could give was a simple nod, making him stare at me in bewilderment, not believing what had overcome me "Though I thought it was a she until I walked in on him, in the shower…It made me think about things…You know that I always had a crush on that special 'her'? Well it's him" I explained, looking at Jasmine.

My friend, would you understand?

Judging by your surprised and yet somewhat amazed face you would, the smile you gave me made me return it, my once heavy and nervous heart now relieved and feeling much lighter than before.

"And his name?" he asked curiously "Hizaki" was my only reply, my mind automatically wondering about him.

Was he still ill? I frowned "Jasmine, I wished to tell you this because Hizaki has fallen ill very soon…" and that was the truth, after out lovemaking he had become ill, somehow there was a connection just what?

"You wish for me to see her? I mean him" He said covering his mouth, blushing slightly at his own mistake. I forgave him and chuckled, those kind of mistakes were bound to happen!

I nod my head and stood again "He is in my room and ill, I do not understand why, yesterday he was perfectly fine"

Again I had said so much, I was so glad that I could trust my friend. Jasmine was a person I trusted completely, and he knew that. Yet he never used his knowledge about me against me.

I smiled at him " Please follow me" I spoke, moving out of the room, opening the doors for my friend to follow, which he did. Hs faced showed curiosity and his lips held a soft smile.

My dear friend…What are you thinking?

I led the way to my room, softly opening the doors, watching as my beautiful rose lay there sound asleep. Somehow I did not want Jasmine move into the room anymore. It was strange; ever since yesterday…I've turned so protective!

I looked at Jasmine and smiled politely "Wait a moment dear friend I will wake him up and prepare him"

I walked inside of my room, closing the doors behind me as I softly walked over to my princess, kissing his soft and warm cheek, smiling as those big curious eyes opened, looking at me a bit confused "Prince?" I heard you speak, making me move a finger to your lips "You get a visitor, please get dressed?" I asked him, though I knew the other would see it as a command.

My eyes watched as you sat up, a gasp leaving your lips and you moved to cover your belly. I watched in confusion and moved over to you in worry "Hizaki?" I asked, trying to softly take your hands away to see what's wrong.

Worry was seeping through my every being as you refused to show me "Show me" I said, watching you slowly move your hands away, watching your perfect round…

Wait round?! I gasped and sat up, moving closer to place a hand atop of it.

Impossible! This cannot be happening!

I've only seen this with vampires! I frowned and moved back to the door to open it, letting Jasmine in; you wore a white loose dress, and your belly was showing…

I do not understand this! What was going on?

I looked at Jasmine a bit helpless before going to my princess who seemed to struggle with himself. Oh Hizaki… I sighed and kissed your cheek "Shh" I whispered into your ear, softly rubbing your belly again.

We will find the solution to your illness soon, do not worry!
