"It was nice to meet you princess, but it's late I shall let you get to bed. I hope to see you tomorrow." Souma calmly spoke, as he bowed to Himeko.
Himeko smiled, as she returned his bow with one of her own.
"Let me show you to your room." Himeko's mother softly spoke, as she led Souma out of the thrown room.
Once they were both gone Himeko's father started to coldly glare at me once again, as I started growling at him.
"Himeko I don't want to see that thing with you when you're around Souma!" He coldly ordered, as Himeko lowered her head to him.
"But…father…I don't want to leave Chikane's side." Himeko softly answered, as his glare was now on his daughter.
"Stop calling that thing that! It's just a stupid animal that will not be here forever! Leave it in your room, because if I see it with you when you're around Souma! I'll kill it!" He coldly ordered, as he walked away.
Once he was gone I quickly closed my eyes and returned to my human form. I went over to Himeko and wrapped my arms around her holding her in a tight embrace.
"Himeko…" I softly spoke, as I felt Himeko's whole body shaking like crazy.
"Everything will be alright…Himeko." I softly whispered, as I held her closer to me waiting for her to return to her old self.
Later.
We both had already token a bath and were in our sleeping cloths, as we were sitting on Himeko's huge bed.
"Himeko…I don't care what your father said! I do not take orders from him and I will not let that stupid Souma guy be alone with you!" I growled, as Himeko looked at me confused.
"Chikane….are you angry with Souma?" Himeko asked, as I sighed.
"No…at lest not yet, but…Souma's kind makes my fur stand on end…"
"Why? What is he?" Himeko softly asked.
"He is a vampire." I calmly answered, as I noticed Himeko's mood change.
"But vampires are myths…aren't they?"
"Well not really….my kind is a myth too and here I am. Like my kind vampires are very much alive, but we both thought the others kind died out centuries ago. I never thought I would meet a real life vampire…I bet Souma didn't think he would ever see a wolf." I smirked, as I lied down on the bed.
'But there have been wolves living here for years…why wouldn't he know that?' I thought, as I looked over at Himeko who still had that cute confused look on her face. I went and sat up, and sat closer to her.
"Himeko vampires are dangerous and I don't know why he is here…so until he leaves I am not going to leave you…even if your father doesn't like it." I tried to reassure her with a smile, but I could see that it didn't work.
"Chikane…I don't want you to get hurt…" Himeko whispered quietly, as I went and wrapped my arms around her holding her in a tight embrace once again.
"I wont…if you're really that worried than meet him in here. Your father did say I'm not allowed to leave your room while you're around him." I whispered into her ear, as I felt her slowly relaxed in my arms.
"Is that alright with you?" I asked, as I felt Himeko nod her head yes.
I slowly pulled away as we both smiled at each other.
"Now than let's get to sleep…I get the feeling tomorrow is going to be a long day." Himeko nodded in agreement, as we both went under the covers.
Once we both were comfortable I put my arms around Himeko while she snuggled her face into my chest, as she slowly relaxed. I slowly closed my eyes, as we both let sleep take over us.
Knowing that tomorrow was going to be one interesting day.
The next day.
Himeko had left her room to go and get some tea. Leaving me alone with vampire boy, as I lay on the ground next to the seat Himeko was just sitting in. I was forced to be in my wolf form after all I didn't want this vampire to know I was of my mother's bloodline. I narrowed my eyes at him and he in return glared at me with those cold cinnamon eyes.
"Well I never thought I would ever see your kind…I heard you beast died centuries before I was even made. So are you one of the stupid dumb beast that would just hunt humans to kill, or are you the smarter pure blood kind." He smirked, as I stood up on all fours and started growling at him.
"Shut up vampire!" I yelled, as his smirk grew.
"A mental link…you must be a pure blood to be able to do that or a mutt that's just smart. I wonder what else you can do…I heard from my maker that there are a few of your kind that can change into humans. Are you one of them?" His voice was starting to really piss me off.
I really wanted to rip his throat out, but I knew that Himeko's father would only hurt her if I did.
"Why the hell are you here?!" I growled, as he sighed.
"I'm here to marry the princess of this kingdom. I didn't think it was that hard to figure out. Than again you're just a stupid animal so I can see why you had to ask." He smirked, as my growl grew louder.
"Why?! Why is your kind after Himeko?!"
"Perhaps I should be asking you that. Why are you here and not with your pack?" He asked.
"That has nothing to do with you!" I growled.
"I guess your right I mean your not much of a threat. Your not a male so her father would never give her to you anyway…that is if you could even change into a human to begin with. I have no reason to talk with a stupid animal, but you do make things interesting. So if you must know I am here because my coven needs to find kingdoms with power to grow. I mean right now we are fine, but that life will not last for ever. This kingdom is wide and has lots of villages and such. That's why I'm here dog for the power, people, and the fact that I want to make the princess into my queen." He smirked, as he showed me his fangs.
"You will not turn Himeko! I will never let you!" I growled.
"Let's see about that wolf…it's not like you can turn her." He coldly spoke, as the door opened.
He drew in his fangs, as I slowly lay back down.
"Sorry it took so long!" Himeko smiled, as she closed the door behind her.
She put the tray down on the small table, as they both started talking once again.
I listened quietly keeping my eyes narrowed, as what he said was going though my mind.
Later.
"I'll be taking my leave after all its night now and I want you to get some rest." Souma calmly spoke, as he rose from his seat.
Himeko stood up as well and followed him to the door, as he opened it he turned to look at her.
"I had fun today princess, but do you think tomorrow we can go for a walk. I hear the woods here are beautiful…maybe tomorrow night. If that is alright with you?" He asked with a smile.
"Umm…I shall let you know tomorrow…If that's alright." Himeko softly spoke, as he simply smiled and went, and kissed her forehead.
Once I saw that I was on my feet and ready to attack. He slowly pulled away and smirked at me, as I growled and started showing him my fangs.
"I look forward to your answer…good night princess." He smiled, as he bowed his head and left the room.
Himeko closed the door, as she sighed and turned to face me. I closed my eyes and felt warmth go through me as I changed into my human form. I stood up and growled.
"I hate vampires!" Himeko heard that and was looking at with confusion in her kind violet eyes.
"Chikane are you angry?" She asked, as she walked over to where I was.
"No…I mean…I don't know. It's just…he really knows how to piss me off." I lowered my head.
I could feel my whole body heating up, as my blood was boiling. 'Who does that stupid bloodsucker think he is?! How dare he kiss Himeko…how dare he even lay a hand on her?!' I thought, as I soon froze.
I looked and saw Himeko's arms around my waist, as I felt her face nuzzle into my back.
"Himeko?" I asked, after all this was the first time while I was in human form that she embraced me.
"I'm sorry Chikane…I didn't mean to make you angry." Himeko's sweet voice whispered, as I sighed and placed my hand over hers.
"You didn't…it was that vampire. I'm worried about him…Himeko please don't be alone with him. He is dangerous and…I do not want him to hurt you." I calmly responded, as I felt Himeko's embrace grow tighter.
"Do not worry Chikane…I'll have you with me remember." Himeko whispered, as I smirked.
"That's right I almost forgot…" I soon lowered my head.
"You're not a male so her father would never give her away to you." "You're not much of a threat." 'That damn vampires voice is still in my head…but he is right about one thing…I am no threat to him, as long as Himeko is bound to this human life and their rules…' I thought, as I sighed.
I slowly pulled away from Himeko and turned to be face to face with her.
"Himeko can I ask you something?"
"What is it Chikane?" Himeko asked.
"I want to know…if you could leave this life behind…would you?" I asked, as I lowered my head.
I hated myself for asking this, but there was something I wanted to know and this seem to be a good time to ask.
"I don't understand?" She asked.
"If you could leave your human life behind…if you could…would you? What if I could change you into a wolf…would you…follow me?" I asked, as I kept my head lowered waiting for her answer.
After all how she answered would help me with my next move.
Weather to go with my heart or go with my instincts…weather I should change Himeko or leave things as they are.
Well now how will Himeko answer and will everything change for better or worse? You'll have to keep reading to find out ^-^
