-YOU TALKED TO WHO?!?!
Dimitry yelled. For the past few minutes I was explaining to him and all he could do is yell et me.
-I HAVE RIGHT TO TALK TO MY FRIEND!
I yelled back.
-FINE! GO AHEAD! Unlock it! Bring the darkness back!
This was the end. He did it.
-DON'T TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
I ran out of the room before he could say anything else. The past few days that I had my memory were painful. I remembered how my family died. My true family. I knew every banshees life. Because their lives were mine, and mine was their. I remember the Cat-demon and the pain she brought. Controlling me and making me kill. Bringing the darkness. Bringing it to everyone around me. But mostly to me. I cried, my back against a wall. I heard footsteps. Someone entered the room.
-Nora-chan?
I didn't look up.
-Leave me alone!
-Oh, but can't.
-Why!?!
-I have a present for you.
I looked up just to see Aidou's grinning face a few centimeters away from mine. I pushed him away.
-Stop it. You look like a frog.
I whined trough my tears.
-You're mean, Nora-chan.
He pouted. I smiled at him. He is a dork, but has a nice way with people. He isn't comforting me. He's just helping me move on. I wiped my tears away.
-This better be good, froggy-sempai.
-Nora!
He whined and I grinned.
-C'mon.
he pulled my hand and led me towards his room. I scanned the place and spotted…
-ICE CREAM!!!
I ran towards it and grabbed the spoon next to it. I soon started eating-no devouring it. Aidou sat across of me and waited patiently. I soon finished.
-Thanks Aidou!
I jumped and hugged him.
-I taught you were down so I decided to cheer you up. Guess my method worked! I'm so happy!
He hugged back.
-What are you guys smoking?
Asked someone from the door. I turned around to see Dimitry. I smirked. I brought my face near Aidou's and my lips brushed his slightly. I could sense him heat up. Dimitry's jaw dropped.
-Thanks for the ice cream.
I hugged Aidou again.
-Huph!
Dimitry went out.
-double sigh-
-That went well.
We said at the same time. I looked at him and he stared back. We burst laughing. When we calmed down a bit Aidou asked
-Did you do that only because you wanted him to leave?
I fought a blush.
-Not quite…
my voice died down.
-I was afraid that I'd ruin our friendship if I'd tell you.
-Tell me what?
I asked looking at him with curiosity.
*She really is dumb when it comes to love* Aidou thought.
-I really like you Nora.
He blushed. I grinned.
-I really, really like you, too.
He looked at me.
-I hope we can be friends forever!
I threw my arms into the air. His head dropped.
*I've mistaken, she is giga dumb when it comes to love*
-What's wrong Aidou?
I looked at him, trying to catch his gaze. Though he didn't look back.
!CLICK!
-You mean you like-like me?
My face turned nodded. I mentally screamed. HOW COULD I BE SO DENCE?!? It must have been hard on him.
-So, you and Dimitry…
-Nothings between us. We do kiss from time to time, but he never asked me to be his girlfriend.
-Oh.
His face lit up.
-Um… Aidou.
I blushed.
-Yes?
-Do you have more ice cream?
-sigh-
-I don't think so.
-sigh-
!CLICK!
-I know! Let's go to buy some!
He looked at me.
-You'll have to ask Kaname-sama and the Chairman. I smiled.
-That's the easy part, I just hope you won't give me any trouble.
-Well, if you would give me what I want now I wouldn't be any trouble.
-Blood-sucker Aidou.
I whispered.
*Who did I fall for?*
I rolled my eyes while revealing my neck. I shut my eyes expecting him to take my blood. Then I felt his lips against mine. I acted on instincts and slapped him across the face. When I realized what I did..
-I'm so sorry!
-Ouch, man. For a girl, you have one hell of a strength.
I smiled. My banshee powers were activating slowly. The only thing that would stop them was a dragon-mark on my cheek. Only my excitement would remove that seal. Man! More tasks. I focused on Aidou's hand in front of my face.
-Earth to Nora!
I shook my head and stood up.
-We should really get some ice cream.
He nodded.
*Few minutes later*
-What do you mean we can't go?
-I said what I said and that's final.
I looked at the Chairman in disbelief.
-Why? Even Kaname-kun let us. Why can't you?
He sighed.
-Kaname is acting reckless because it is you we are talking about. You are like a sister to him. He'd do anything for you, Nora. But, however, I can't let you. It's too dangerous.
-But Aidou is with me.
-Hanabusa-kun?
He was curious.
-Curiosity killed a cat.
I ended his hopes. The Chairman went to a corner and started sulking.
-You can go if you really want to.
He said between his cries.
-YEAH!
I punched the air with my fist. I heard footsteps. Someone chatted with Aidou who was waiting for me. Yuuki entered the room.
-Nora?
-Yuuki-chan!
I ran and hugged her. She was pretty confused.
-Why are you so happy?
-She had ice cream.
We both looked at Aidou.
-And I'm gonna have more!
I jumped up and down.
-Does Nora have that high-sugar problem?
-I think so.
-Yup I do. I become hyper after a bit of sugar. But Aidou gave me a whole ice cream!
My fav. Sugar-full thing!
I continued jumping.
*A few hours later*
-Would you stop that?
Now annoyed Aidoe asked. I was jumping down the street. I turned around on my heel.
-Why? You don't like it?
I pouted.
-sigh-
-Just stop, ok?
-Fine, fine, old man.
-What did you call me?!?
-Nothing, nothing…
I smirked. We were returning to the academy after my ice cream.
-Um…… Aidou?
-Yes?
He looked down at me.
-Back then… why did you tell me that you like me?
He blushed. Even tough I was hyper, I was dead serious.
-I don't know. It just hit me.
We looked at each other and laughed. Neither of us noticed that we were being followed.
-That's her, right?
Said a person in a cloak.
-Yes, let's get her.
They disappeared.I tensed up. I knew something was wrong. But what?
-Nora? What's wrong?
-Let's hurry.
-Um, ok.
He was a bit surprised at my statement. We rushed trough the ally. It was getting dark. I could see the full moon. It was blood-red. Suddenly, two figures jumped in front of us. I searched for a face below that hood. I remember those cloaks! The same from that mission! The first mission I had!
-Lady Eleonora.
The person on the right bowed slightly. I was shocked, lady???
-Do you have your powers back, yet?
Aidou asked. I shook my head.
-Then stay close.
He pulled me closer. One of the figures laughed. That laugh was weird. It sounded like… roaring?
-A werewolf???
I whispered.
-What?
Aidou seemed shocked.
-So you figured out? Smart one, huh?
The figure laughed again. It took the hood of only to reveal a body that looked human and animal at once. It ran towards us. Then an ice wall appeared in front of it. It jumped over the barrier.
-Those tricks won't work on me!
It's claws grew bigger and sharper with each second. It ran again. Aidou froze the werewolf's legs. It struggled against the trap.
-Let's get out of here.
I nodded. Aidou pulled me towards the other end of the dark alley.
-Don't turn your back on me!
I felt the pressure of that thing on me. It was free and it was charging again. Werewolf's speed increased due to his anger.
-DIE!!!
I knew Aidou didn't have time to even turn around. He couldn't do anything! He was going to die! Tears were in my eyes.
-AIDOU!!!
SLASH!!!
I felt it's claws sinking into my body. I knew Aidou was shocked. His eyes were widened. The werewolf pulled his claws in. I heard some fighting behind me but I didn't care. Slowly my legs gave out. I fell onto my knees landing into Aidou's arms. His shock slowly wore off. I tried to look at hi.
-A-Aid-o-ou…
I said. My own blood was in my mouth. I hardly spoke because of it. Pain went trough my stomach. I clenched it trying hard not to scream.
-Nora… I … Why… did you?
I smiled up t him. Tears were in my eyes.
-I don't …know, my body… just… moved.
I turned aside and spat my blood on the ground. It wasn't red it was silver.
-Nora… why is..?
-Kirei. She's trying to help me. But she can't my seal…
my sentence was cut by me coughing up more silver blood.
-Nora…
I smiled again.
*Let him kiss you*
HUH?
*I said let him kiss you*
-Aidou… kiss me.
-What?!?
His face was totally red.
-Just shut up and kiss me before it's too late.
He bent down and our lips met. I felt my cheeks redden. Then I felt something on my left cheek.
*Just a little more, Nora*
I put one of my arms behind is neck and pulled him forward.
SHHHHHHHH!!!
The sound was like leaves in the autumn and like waterfall in the early spring. I pulled back.
-Thanks… for everything.
My eyes started to close.
-Nora, Nora!
I knew he would panic.
-You can't fall asleep now.
I smiled. I didn't have enough energy to talk.
-Don't die on me, Nora!
I won't die silly! I'm just tired. That's all. I couldn't see anything but darkness.
-Nora, Nora!
I head Takuma shout. Then I couldn't hear or feel anything. Am I dead? I tried to move. My body felt numb. Then I floated away. Who am I again?
