Me:Alright anyway, I've been sidetracking a lot today. Okay, here's the little recap and I'll get right to the story:
Basically, the chapter was about Anubias and Alice skating.
Shun is jealous and thinks Anubias is suspicious after they have a talk
Alice went to Ren's house for a barbeque
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN OR TWILIGHT OR INUYASHA
Alice's P.O.V.
I was in my room, trying to concentrate on homework. I had just come back from Ren's place and instead of a barbeque, we ordered pizza. I was still thinking about Shun. He seemed angry and worried when I last saw him… RingRing!
"Hello?" I greeted when I picked up the phone.
"Hey Alice. It's Runo. Do you mind working tomorrow even though it is a Sunday? There were many people who called in sick today," Runo explained.
"Alright, I'll come tomorrow," I smiled. I was really glad that I'm getting accepted by them. Before Runo had called, Julie called to apologize about acting so strangely. I bit the end of my pen again. Back to my problem… nothing might have been wrong… it could have just been me. I sighed and got back to work.
"Alice! Anubias is here!" my grandfather called from downstairs. I looked at my watch. It was 6:00pm. What was he doing here before dinner? I hurried out of my room and down the stairs. This was my chance to ask him.
"Hi," I greeted cheerfully. He smile was more like a smirk… I didn't find that odd though. He has been like that since we were young.
"Hey," he took off his shoes and followed me into the kitchen. My grandfather was cooking dinner and it smelled delicious.
"Are you going to stay for dinner? We've got plenty of food," my grandfather offered.
"Uh sure," he agreed.
"Um I need help with my homework, can you come upstairs with me?" I lied. I didn't like to lie… but I was afraid my grandfather might get the wrong idea. Anubias got the hint and followed me upstairs. I shut the door quietly.
"Did you tell Shun anything?" I asked bluntly. He didn't seem surprise that I asked.
"I should have known you would find out. You're so observant," he said annoyed, "I told him to back off."
"That's it?" I questioned relieved. I thought it was a lot worse…
"Why do you care what he thinks?" he interrogated angrily.
"He's my friend," I stated defensely.
"Are you sure about that? Are you sure you want nothing more?" he continued.
"What are you talking about? Shun's just a friend," I sighed… did I want more? Shun seemed cold hearted at first… but he's so much more.
"You know who you want deep down in your heart. All you do is talk about him. During our whole practice, you were telling me about him! I've known you for over fifteen years and I haven't seen you talk about me like that," he was clearly upset. I felt confused and guilty at the same time… Anubias was my best friend. To reject him and like someone else a few days later seemed wrong… but do I like Shun?
"Anubias, I know you're mad at me… and I'm really sorry but you're my best friend… it's better if we stay that way," I explained.
"Whatever… but know that I'll be waiting… even if it means I'll have to wait forever," he walked passed me and exited my room. I sighed and then sat down on my window sill. I pulled my knees up to my chest and stared out the window to watch the first snowfall… there were no stars tonight… I was on my own... A very small part of me was telling me that I was falling for Shun but a huge part of me said that it was impossible… and then there were all these weird dreams. What did they mean? Anubias wasn't making this any easier. He's my best friend and I trust him but to see him confess to me… it made me feel confused. I saw Anubias' figure leave our house and I watched him till he was only a speck. Why make things so difficult?
The Next Day…
Shun's P.O.V.
I held the newly sketched picture of Alice… since it was my only gift, I might as well use it for something. It was a picture of her sitting near on top of a rock near a lake. There was a sunset and she looked relaxed. One thing I didn't draw was the shard… I wanted the shard a lot but having an image of the pain in her eyes made me feel sick to my stomach.
"Shun! We're going to leave now!" Runo shouted from downstairs. I sighed and then slipped the picture in between my pile of sketch books. I grabbed my jacket and hurried down the stairs. Dan was standing their impatiently while Runo was trying to make Julie stop talking.
"Julie!" she yelled and then went around her to unlock the door.
"I can't believe Marucho is going to do that for us!" Julie squealed. Marucho was one of the richest werewolves around. His parents had made many companies in the human world including many fashion stores… that was probably what Julie was getting excited about.
"I don't get what's with girls and clothes…" Dan stated as he left the house. Julie followed him and started explaining about it. I could hear Dan groan as he walked towards the café. I quickly slipped into my shoes and left as well with Runo behind me.
"I'm glad I'm not Dan," Runo smirked as she saw Dan covering his ears and then running. Julie seemed fine with it and continued to talk while running after him.
"Yeah," I agreed. I looked back at Alice's house to see if she was there. To my disappointment, she wasn't. I sighed and just continued to follow the others. Besides, there was nothing better to do at home.
At the Café…
Alice's P.O.V.
I smiled to myself as I slowly picked up the dirty dishes and placed it on a tray. I was humming to myself softly as I wiped the table. I had figured everything out last night. Anubias was my best friend and maybe I should give him a chance… one date couldn't hurt. Besides, I just met Shun and I probably though I liked him because I was getting to know him better. Right… that's it. Just then, I heard the bell signaling someone was coming in to the café.
"Hi Alice," Dan greeted as he ran to the boys washroom. I watched as Julie entered the café excitedly.
"Alice! Guess what?" she asked but before I could answer she already told me, "Marucho is getting us new uniforms for our job!"
"Marucho?" I wondered confused.
"He's one of our rich friends," Runo explained as she came inside followed by Shun. I gasped as he walked in… I knew he was good looking before but now that I really looked at him… I realized he was stunning. He had well-built muscles that was visible through his shirt. I felt my face burn as I noticed myself staring. I bit my lip and turned away when I noticed him staring at me also. I took a deep breath and then carried the tray of plates and bowls.
"Here, I'll do it," he offered. He took it from me without waiting for my answer. Runo and Julie had already gone to get their aprons when I was daydreaming… my eyes followed Shun as he walked into the kitchen. For the first time, I noticed that Shun was different… not only by personality… but there was something about him that made me attracted to him. It felt like some sort of spell… suddenly the idea of going out with Anubias didn't feel like the right thing to do anymore. I realized I was still biting my lip after I tasted the blood. It tasted… good. How was that possible though? I hated the taste of blood… at least I used to…
Shun's P.O.V.
I was staring at Alice and I'm pretty sure she realized… it was hard not to though. She was beautiful and I wouldn't be surprised if she was taken. I placed the tray on the counter and then stepped back out of the kitchen. I froze as my nose picked up a scent… it was oddly familiar but different. I recognized it as vampire blood… but it didn't smell bad like it was supposed to. In fact, it smelled wonderful… I felt like I wanted more of it… I looked around the room and tried to find the cause of it. Then the smell disappeared. I was still shocked. It was definitely vampire blood and it smelled so good… I snapped out of my thoughts when the door was opened again. I recognized him...
"Shun… it's been a while my friend," Spectra smirked as he sat down in one of the booth. Runo and Julie had gone into the kitchen. Dan was still in the washroom which meant it was only Alice and me. She looked at me and asked if it was Marucho. I shook my head.
"Spectra, you're still your arrogant self," I gritted between my teeth as I went to sit across from him. Spectra was a 'friend' of mine since we were kids. He was the one that started to pick on me. Why? Well because he was the most powerful one in the class. His grandfather was once the most powerful werewolf in our specie! He had a big ego and I've had wanted to beat him in a battle since we were only cubs... "Alice, go into the kitchen."
"Why?" she asked confused.
"Just do it please," I ordered. My eyes never left Spectra's intense gaze but I saw her leave from the corner of my eye. I knew what he was after… the same thing I was.
"Protective. Too bad you don't have the strength and talent to back it up," he teased. I growled under my breath. It was hard to stay in control. Spectra had been taunting me to battle him for years. I wanted to but I knew I couldn't win without the shard…
"Shut up. Why are you here?" I asked angrily. I knew he would be looking for the shard… but I was hoping he wouldn't find it.
"You mean you haven't seen the shard around the girl's neck? Alice was it? It's unfortunate that she has to die…" he smirked just when I flinched.
"What are you planning?" I stood up and grabbed the collar of his shirt. I was ready to punch him even though there were many people staring at us.
"It's not what I'm planning to do… it's what's happening now…" his sinister smile grew. I let go of his shirt and rushed towards the kitchen. I could hear him laughing… "Shun… you are still as oblivious as always. There's a lot more going on then you think…"
Alice's P.O.V.
I wondered who Spectra was… Shun seemed really angry at him for some reason. He seemed irritated and annoyed too. I had gotten a text from Anubias. He was wondering if I was free tonight. I hadn't answered him yet… this morning, I felt like it was a good idea to give him a chance but after I saw Shun again… it didn't anymore. I was mesmerized by his beauty… I was used to it since I came from a family of vampires. All my boy cousins stunning and they had girls on their tails all the time but Shun wasn't a vampire… yet I felt like he was somehow luring me to him.
"Alice dear, do you mind throwing the garbage into the bin at the back of the café?" Ms. Misaki interrupted my thoughts.
"Sure, is it over there?" I asked. She nodded.
"Thank you," she grinned and then went back to work. I picked up the bag of garbage she left in front of me and made my way through the back door. There was a huge garbage bin and I had to tip toe to open it. I threw the garbage in and was going to go back inside but I stopped when I saw Ren.
"Hi Ren," I greeted.
"Hey Alice. I forgot to thank you last time," he stated.
"About?" I asked confused.
"For coming to my house and meeting my friends. They really like you by the way," he replied.
"That was nothing," I smiled as he approached me, "Well I better get back to work. I don't want to get into Ms. Misaki's bad books."
"Oh you won't be," he grinned. I waved bye to him and went back to the door. I sighed and reached for the knob. Then I felt a pair of cold hands around my neck, "You're already in someone else's…"
"Ren…" I managed to say. He pushed me against the wall and tightened his grip around my throat. What was he doing? I started to panic. I tried to pull his hands away from my throat but it was useless. I kept struggling and felt my neck burn as he ripped the necklace along with the shard.
"Just a little more Alice… It'll end quicker if you stop struggling," he smirked and then started to glow… I didn't know if I was hallucinating or not. Ren was gone… he had transformed into a man with shoulder length blue hair. I didn't care who he was at that moment. All I knew was that I was running out of air and I was going to die…
"Get your hands off her!" I fell on to the ground as the man released me. I started gasping for air. I looked to my right to find Shun standing in front of me. The man was on the ground laughing. He still had my shard in his hand.
"Shun, careful. I can help," I offered as I got off the ground.
"Stay out of this!" he glared at me. I stepped back scared. I hadn't seen Shun this angry before… He stood in front of me protectively. His body was all tense. I gently touched his shoulder to try to calm him down but I jumped back in surprise. His skin was burning…
Me: I'm sorry for the shorter than usual chapter but I had to get the Christmas message up and I might not have time next week. Projects are starting to be due -_-

Me: … yes
