Me:Hi everyone! I know it's another late update. Sorry about that but I've been busy as usual with homework and projects now too. Anyway, thanks to all those who read! =)
EyesforColtonly:Yup, well for now anyway. Thanks for reading! =)
MaudyNovianti:Yeah same xD but you probably already know that. Anyway, thanks =)!
AvaKaiba:Aw thanks =)!
katzike123:You'll have to wait and see. I know the question was rhetorical and I wasn't supposed to really answer it but yeah xD. Thanks so much! =)
YayForEveryCoupleILoveAndMore:Thanks! I'm glad you think it's exciting! =) Thanks for your review!
Starbright-708:Hehe in all honesty, I forgot how much I explained so I'll just tell you now. Well actually… I won't xD. You'll find out soon enough. Just know for now that it's powerful and helps whoever owns it =). Anyway, thanks for your time! =)
InnocentDiamond:Haha I'm guessing you're a huge ShunxAlice fan as well considering the fact that you don't like other guys with Alice. I thought that maybe Anubias could be a good guy… well half good guy since I've always thought of him as bad even though I barely watched the episodes. I stopped watching when Alice wasn't around but I started again when I saw it on television but then it stopped showing it at that time so I stopped. Okay anyway, I'm getting off track. Thanks for your review! =)
flippy17:Haha sorry for the confusion. This has nothing to do with Inuyasha. None of those characters are in it. It's just the jewel idea came from that and the idea of Alice and Shun being separated in another life. The jewel in Inuyasha makes a demon stronger and Inuyasha ends up with Kagome instead of Kikyou. I wanted him to end up with Kikyou that's why I wrote Shun as a werewolf kind of like Inuyasha as a dog and I made Alice human but she was special like Kikyou. So sorry for the confusion xD and I'm trying to read your next chapter but sorry if my review is late. Anyway, thanks for your review! (Sorry I talk way too much xD)
Me:Okay!
Ace: Okay what?
Me: Okay as in I can start the story now
Ace: Why can't you just say that?
Me: It's a lot shorter.
Ace: Well you had to type it out anyway since I asked
Me: … oh and I will change/changed the summary for this story… maybe I'm still not sure yet it's just cause the whole plot kind of changed xD. Okay anyway, I won't bore you anymore. Here's the recap:
So Shun noticed Alice's shard and part of the shard concept is explained. (More is explained in this chapter =))
Alice tries to make Shun feel not so lonely but Shun ignores her.
Shun finds himself drawing Alice and he also tells the others about the shard.
(Sorry my summarizing isn't good… but hopefully that helped xD)
DISCLAIMER:IDONOTOWNBAKUGAN,TWILIGHTORINUYASHA! (You'll see what I mean later. There are no characters from either Twilight or Inuyasha but the ideas are similar. So I wrote it just incase)
Alice's P.O.V.

"Yes…" she cried. The boy smiled and stood up. As he was about to put the ring on her finger, she pulled her hand away, "But I can't…"
"What do you mean?" the boy questioned surprised as he stepped back.
"You'reapeasant… I'mapriestess,theonewhoisresponsibleforthesecretjewel.IcannotbeyourwifenorcanIbejustaregularhuman…wearedifferent…" shewhisperedsadly.(I got the idea from Inuyasha and the reason why I'm doing that is because I'm an InuyashaxKikyou fan and I was sad when she had to die. So I'm writing it for Shun and Alice… you'll see what I mean later =)) Hereyeswerefulloftearsasshesteppedawayfromhim.
"But can't someone else take care of it?" he wondered.
"No… the jewel was made for me to protect and is no one else's responsibility…" with that, she left.
I opened my eyes and sat up… another dream… it was the same boy and girl but I had a feeling that the girl and boy wasn't Shun and me. What did they mean by the jewel? She's apparently a priestess… what did that mean? We looked so alike. I checked my clock and it read 6:00 am. Alright, so I had time to do some research. I got off my bed and sat in a chair. I turned on my computer and waited for it to load. It gave me time to think. What if this dream came true too? It might not exactly be the same but it might relate just like my last one did… it can't be though. Shun and me? I can't see it happening. I went on a search engine and tried different words that involved the jewel. For some reason, I was very interested in this. I had finally found it. I started to read it quickly. Apparently there was a priestess named Alice who had to protect a jewel. There was a picture of it too. The colour looked somewhat like my shard… I kept reading on. I bit lip as I started to read about the predictions.
"Many ages ago, people believed that the dead priestess would come back to life in another time. Even though the jewel had been lost and had most likely broke apart, they believed her reincarnation would someday retrieve the jewel and protect it," I read out loud. That wasn't good… I looked at my shard again. What if it was part of that jewel? I wanted to read about why the jewel was so important but none of the websites contained that information. My grandfather's words echoed in my head. It was supposed to protect me… from what though? The priestess in my dream had said they were different… and they could not be together. Well Shun and I were definitely different personality wise. He seemed to like being alone. My dream wasn't about personality though… the girl was a priestess and the boy seemed like a peasant. So maybe the dreams actually weren't related to me. I felt stupid as I realized how silly I was being. It was just a dream.
"Alright, time to get dressed," I smiled to myself as I turned off the computer and went to the washroom to get ready.
(Oh by the way did I mention last chapter that Alice did hear Shun tell her his name but she just continued to walk? If I didn't, sorry about that.)
Shun's P.O.V.
Ugh… why are they so loud? I threw my pillow hard against the door.
"It's 6:00am!" I yelled and it was quiet again. Runo and Dan were bickering over something. Did they have to do this now? It was silent for a while but then I heard whispers. It grew louder and louder. I got out of my bed and opened the door. I followed the sound down the stairs and into the living. I glared at the two wolves as they continued to yell at each other.
"We're going to go with Shun!" Dan shouted.
"No we're not! We're going to blow our cover!" Runo countered. I had had enough of this.
"If you guys continue to yell, we will blow our cover…" I stated as both of their eyes darted to me. They scratched their heads nervously, "I can take care of myself."
"You just want to spend alone time with her…" Dan groaned. He was jealous. I wanted to laugh but I kept my composure because I knew Runo was going to take care of it.
"Uh-hm. Hello Dan! Your girlfriend is right beside you!" she fumed as she took the picture of Alice from his hands. Then she crumpled it up and threw it on to the ground. It bounced a few times before it landed in front of me.
"I-I didn't m-mean that!" Dan stammered as he stepped slowly away from Runo. In seconds, they had both transformed into their wolf forms and bolted out the backyard door. I hoped Dan wasn't going to get killed or hurt. I bent down to pick up the crumpled sheet. I unfolded it carefully and stared at my drawing. Alice… her name matched her perfectly. Then my eyes landed on the shard around her neck. Right… I needed the shard. I had the most useless gift in the pack. Who cared if I knew how to draw? The others had gifts that actually came in handy. My parents were both werewolves and they had incredible gifts. I might have gained me speed from my mom and my strength from my dad but that technically wasn't a gift. I had spent my childhood being laughed at but that's all going to change. I wasn't in the forest anymore. I was out here, in the human world. Besides, I'll get the shard soon… I know it. I went back upstairs to my room to get ready for school. I looked out my window and saw Alice outside of her house… with another boy…
"Anubias…" I gasped as I recognized him from one of hunts… I had been hiding behind a tree since I had covered myself some kind of cologne so vampires couldn't track me… I had heard his name being called. Why was he here? More importantly, why was Alice with him?
Alice's P.O.V.
Hmm… I read the note my grandfather left me. Apparently, he had gone hunting with a group of friends. I felt a bit disgusted… thinking of drinking blood though there were times where I had to since one of my parents was a vampire. About once very month, I would need to drink a cup of blood. It tasted horrible. I felt like throwing up at the thought. I erased the thought in my mind and went to get my sweater. I slipped into my shoes and straightened out my uniform. Then I opened my door and stepped outside. It was cold today. There were leaves being blown off branches.
"Hey…" my eyes landed on my best friend. I stood there awkwardly for a moment.
"Hi…" I smiled nervously as we approached each other.
"Umm… I'm really sorry about yesterday…" he apologized.
"Don't worry about it… if I do change my mind though, I'll tell you," I said as I slowly started to relax. I had taken my grandfather's thoughts into consideration. Maybe I should think about it and give him a chance.
"Really?" he brightened up and sounded hopeful. I nodded and then we made our way towards the school. We started to talk about random things and it got comfortable again. He made me laugh a few times. It seemed like we had barely started talking when we had got to the school already. We both stopped in front of the school.
"Thanks for walking me," I smiled. Anubias went to another school that was about a two blocks away from here.
"Anytime," he stated and then pecked me on the cheek. I was going to tell him not to but he had already run off, "It was tempting but I promise it won't happen again!"
"I hope it won't…" I sighed as I touched my cheek softly. I really didn't want people to get the wrong idea.
"Aww Alice!" Chan exclaimed as she pounced on to me, "When did you guys start?"
"Start what?" I asked confused.
"Start dating," Mira grinned as we all went inside the school. There were teenagers all over the place, hanging out or doing last minute homework.
"W-We're not going o-out," I stammered. Sigh… they did get the wrong idea…
"So what did we just see there, huh?" Chan teased.
"I'm being honest, there's nothing going on between us," I stated. Mira and Chan gave each other a knowing look but stopped bothering me about it. Then I noticed Shun walk in. He was glaring at me… not glaring but he gave me a disappointed look. My eyes followed him as he walked to his locker. Why was he angry? Did I do something? It was last night wasn't it? I mentally smacked myself as I excused myself from Mira and Chan. I took a deep breath and walked up to Shun.
"Is something wrong?" I wondered. He closed his locker and then stared at me again.
"Just stay away from him," he stated bluntly. Our eyes met and we both stared at each other. He had these amazing honey-brown orbs. I looked away quickly which was followed by an awkward silence. I heard his footsteps as he walked away. I watched as he continued to walk without looking back. I sighed and then went to my locker. To my surprise, Ren was there waiting for me.
"Hi," I greeted.
"Hey, I was kind of bored so I decided to wait for you to come," he grinned as I opened my locker. I nodded to tell him I heard. I could feel his eyes on me as I got some things out of my locker and placed it in my backpack. I took off my sweater and hung it on a hook, "Are you alright?"
"Me? Oh I'm fine," I lied and then I tried to give him a convincing smile. He just nodded. I closed my locker and then we started to walk around the school since we still had time.
"So what do you think of the new guy?" he questioned.
"Hmm… who are you talking about?" I joked, "You or Shun?"
"Alice, I'm being serious," he stated. I turned to look at him. His expression was full of concern, "He seems… I don't know… dangerous…"
"Well I'm pretty sure if we give him a chance, he'll open up to us," I reassured him. What is with guys these few days? Everyone seems so overprotective… my grandfather, then Shun and now Ren?
"I might be overreacting," he sighed and then shook it off, "Well anyway, it's almost class. Let's go."
"Alright," I agreed and we went into the classroom. I went to my seat and I kept staring at the door… waiting for Shun to come in.
Shun's P.O.V.
I didn't know why I was worried about Alice. I checked my watch. I had a minute before class started. Anubias was scentless because of human cologne. Even if he wasn't, Alice still wouldn't know since she was human. Her shard wasn't glowing either… which meant she had gotten it from a vampire. Anubias… I hadn't met him but I had a feeling that he was trouble. I stepped into the classroom and I felt eyes on me. I ignored all the screaming girls and looked at Alice. She was, in fact staring at me as well. She had a worried expression. I walked passed all the girls and sat in my sit which happened to be behind Alice's. I could sense her nervousness. She finally turned around.
"Shun…" she started and then thought about what she was going to say. She bit her lip and then took a deep breath, "I really don't want to be so direct but could you stop staring at the back of my head please?"
I couldn't help but smile as she sat in front of me blushing. I wanted to laugh but I didn't. She sounded so innocent and sincere. I regained my composure… well tried to.
"Whatever," I stated and then looked away. I could feel her eyes on me now. I glanced at her and realized she was smiling… "What?"
"It's just… well… you should smile more. It looks good on you," she grinned and then turned around as the bell rung and the teacher walked in. I was a bit surprised at her comment. She was so… sweet and I was a monster... literally! I shook that thought out of my mind. No matter how sweet she was, my goal won't change. Despite that, I still wondered what made her so different to me.
Anubias' P.O.V.
The blinds were closed and it was pitch dark. We could still see since we were both vampires. The man in charge sat in front of me. He was on a computer emailing any vampire he could think of. I rolled up my fists. I couldn't believe we were going to do this to Alice… we were going use her… I wanted to back out, but there was no turning back now. I looked at the glowing blue jewel between us. It was a sphere but was missing a shard. Alice had it right now. She has no idea what's going to happen. I kept thinking about that innocent face of hers… and her beautiful hair that fell so nicely around her face.
"There. I'm done," he stated. I nodded and then stared at the jewel again. Who knew one piece of that jewel could give so much power? Only Alice could hold the jewel though. It was too much power for anyone of us to touch. The only reason we got it here was because one shard was missing.
"When are we going to do this?" I asked.
"When the time is right," he smirked. I looked away and then thought about all those werewolves that were going to have to obey us. We've been fighting for centuries so the feeling of ruling them is amazing but it isn't like I'm willing to hurt Alice. I could careless about the wolves, "Don't over think Anubias. As long as we have Alice and the jewel, we'll be invincible. Besides, after all this, Alice could be yours forever."
Me: Well what did you guys think? Apparently if you smile a lot, you'll make others happy as well so don't forget to smile. Spread the joy! =)
Shun: …
Me: Well Alice seems to be doing it =)
Shun: Shut up
Me: Alright fine. I'll be nice today and not say anything =). Okay anyway, this is my third chapter! I hope you guys all enjoyed it! I really appreciate your time. Please review and comment. Tell me what you think =). Thanks again and I'll see you next time! ^_^
