Author's Note's: Sorry this chapter is running a little later than the previous chapters, but had a minor re-lapse back into a dark place so had to quit my story for a couple of days. but once again updates as soon as possible
Fluttering eyes open slowly, the sound of something slipping from beneath the door causing the young female pure blood to awaken. Glancing out towards her bedroom window, Aikura glanced at the seemingly still bright day, and the sun still up in the skies before she glanced towards her bedroom door to see an envelope had been slipped under it. Sighing lightly with a stretch and a yawn, Aikura climbed out of bed, and walked over to her bedroom door. Grabbing for the envelope, Aikura sighed as she walked back to her bed and sat down while ripping the envelope open, and pulling out the neatly folded piece of paper. Glancing over the written words, Aikura tilted her head to the side as she read out the words quietly
"Princess Aikura, if you would permit me to but ask, but may I request permission to spend a day with you. Just you and myself. I would appreciate it if you would allow such a thing. Yours Faithfully Akatsuki Kain" With a chuckle, Aikura placed the envelope upon her bed, stood up with a second stretch and yawn, and walked towards the bathroom for a quick shower.
About an hour later, Aikura was standing at the top of the stairs heading down into the lobby. Her lithe form adorned in a simple blue filmsy strap almost vest top, with black leggings and blue jean shorts on, her dainty feet adorned her small flat black pumps, and her long waist length hair pulled back into a tight braided ponytail. Sighing softly Aikura glanced around to see Aidou, Kaname and Akatsuki sitting upon the lounge couches while talking between themselves. Sighing softly again, Aikura made her way slowly down the stairs, her icy blue eyes still informing anyone who dared glance at her that she was still tired, and with another small yawn the three seated males glanced towards her with a small smile
"Why good morning Aikura-Chan"
"Morning..."
"How come you are awake so early?"
"I wanted to go shopping today, plus I was requested to spend a day with someone" Aikura said lightly, with a sleepy smile
"Oh? Who would that of been Aikura-Chan? I never saw anyone near the girls dorms"
"Akatsuki-Sempai requested to spend a day with me today. I couldn't turn down such a request now could I Kaname-Sama?"
"Of course not. Just remember you have to attend class today" Kaname said softly as he glanced to Akatsuki with a seemingly warning glare
"Understood Kaname-Sama" Aikura said softly as she headed towards the main doors, "Are you ready Akatsuki-Sempai?"
"Of course Princess Aikura-Chan" Akatsuki said lightly, dragging himself from the couch, and walking towards the awaiting pure blood female while grabbing for two coats, one for each of them so that neither would burn within the suns burning light. Allowing the older and taller male to help her slip on the coat, Aikura whispered a small thank you, and left the moon dormitories and headed out.
While in town, Aikura slowly began to wake up more as she and Akatsuki went to a small quiet cafe. Once there the two Night Class students sat down in a quiet two person booth, when a young brunette waitress walked over with almost bright emerald eyes, as she gazed almost lovingly at Akatsuki before speaking
"Oh my, you are Wild-Sempai aren't you?"
"Uh... You could say that"
"You are from the Cross Academy Night Class aren't you? I'm a really big fan of you Wild-Sempai!" The young waitress spoke, ignoring the young pure blood who growled lowly
"I see, well I hate to dampen your mood, but as you can see I am out with the young lady opposite me"
"Oh?" The young waitress spoke before glancing towards Aikura, "Oh! You were in here the other week with that girl, She almost bite Sallys head off. I am sorry she bothered you"
"Whatever, Just get me a strawberry milkshake with a bowl of fries" Aikura replied, trying to keep the growl in her throat from making itself known
"Yes of course, What would you like Wild-Sempai?"
"A glass of orange juice and a bowl of fries please" Akatsuki replied, a tone of annoyment lacing his words, as the young waitress wrote their order down and went off to make their drinks. While Aikura glanced out the window with a low sigh, Akatsuki on the other hand leaned back in his seat as he apologized to his young cousin for the waitresses behavior
"Don't worry about it Akatsuki-Sempai, Rima-Chan apologized when we came here the other week"
"I see, the day you two spent together?"
"Yeah, we went shopping as well" Aikura said lightly before glancing towards her older cousin, on Aidous side of the family as she noticed Rima was sitting a couple of booths over with a young women and Senri, "It seems Rima-Chan and Senri-kun are out early as well"
"Oh?" Akatsuki questioned before glancing over to where Aikura had be staring with a light chuckle, "It does seem it. They must be working"
"Yeah, though Senri-kun looks bored"
"Doesn't he always?" Akatsuki replied causing Aikura to giggle softly, as two glasses where placed upon the table. Aikura smiled weakly as she glanced up and thanked the young waitress as she took a small mouthful of her drink, and glancing back towards Akatsuki before chuckling softly, "What is wrong Aikura-Chan?"
"Do you have a pen on you?"
"I don't I am afraid"
"Oh... Erm.. Waitress!" Aikura said lightly, catching the young brunettes attention, causing her to walk over nervously
"Y-yes?"
"Do you have a pen on you?"
"Yes I do" the young waitress replied handing Aikura her blue biro pen while tilting her head, Aikura then grinned deviously as she wrote something down on one of the napkins before glancing up with a gentle smile
"Could you take this over to that table over there, and give this to that young lad? Just don't tell him where it came from"
"Of course" The waitress said lightly before taking the folded piece of napkin, and walking over to the small table with the two other Night class students and a young women, blushing faintly the young waitress cleared her throat before speaking lowly, "Erm excuse me, I was asked to give this to you sir"
"Hmm? Who from?"
"I am sorry I cannot tell you, they wish you not to know"
"I see, thanks" Senri replied boredomly as he glanced around the small cafe before glancing down at the folded napkin before opening it and glancing at the writing
'Please cheer up, you are making my milkshake taste funny'
"what the?"
"What is it Senri?" Rima asked glancing at him
"This" He replied simply handing her the note, Rimas blue eyes glanced over the written words and chuckled inwardly
"Seems you have an admire, Senri"
"I am not exactly interested" Senri replied coldly as he glanced around the cafe again as he saw a flash of platinum hair in the far corner, raising a slim brow he focused his dull blues over to where he saw the flash of platinum hair and smiled lightly, "Seems I maybe interested after all"
"Oh? How come Senri?"
"Aikura-Chan is here with Akatsuki" Senri said pointing over to where their class mates were sitting, the young Aikura glaring over at him while drinking her drink as Rima chuckled
"Oh, so you looking bored is making her milkshake taste funny"
"Yeah" Senri replied leaning back in his seat with a smile slipping upon his lips.
"Seems your plan worked" Akatsuki spoke softly, when he noticed that Aikura smiled and started drinking her drink again
"Yeah, at least he doesn't look bored now"
"Your fries" The young brunette said softly placing two bowls of fries upon the table with a carefree smile. Aikura smiled back lightly before slowly beginning to eat, her icy blues focused over at Senri, as she watched him, Rima and the young women as they left the cafe, though not before Senri glanced towards her and smiled almost brightly with pink dusted cheeks.
Chuckling softly, Aikura turned her attention to Akatsuki, as the two Night class students sat and spoke about what Aikura would like to do for the day. finding the young pure blood wanted to go shopping, Akatsuki explained he needed to pick something up on behalf of Kaname, and causing Aikura to roll her eyes before nodding in agreement as she continued to eat her small bowl of fries as another glass of Strawberry milkshake was placed before her
"Hmm? I never ordered another drink"
"I am sorry miss, the young gentleman over there has brought it for you" the young waitress said softly, causing Aikura to glance over to where the young waitress had pointed with a low sigh
"Okay, thank you. Please tell him I accept the drink, but I will kick his ass later" Aikura replied softly, causing the waitress to blink several times before nodding and heading off again
"Who is that Aikura-Chan?"
"That is Erin-Kun, he fancies Rima-Chan I think. He was there at the photo shoot I went to the other day, he seems like a friendly human, and he didn't shun me away like most humans do"
"Oh Erin, Yeah I know him. He often sends Rima boxes of pocky" Akatsuki replied softly drinking the last of his orange juice with a gentle smile
"I see, after this I guess we should get going, I don't want to be late for classes and we still have shopping to do as well" Aikura said softly, earning her a nod as the two of them finished off their food and drinks. Paying for their order, Aikura followed by Akatsuki left the small cafe while doing up their coats and heading off further into town and began doing some shopping.
Stopping at an accessory store, Aikura raised a silvery brow before following Akatsuki into said shop with bored icy blues glancing around. When Aikura noticed a wide range of different varieties of collars, chokers, and laced choker necklaces. Smiling as brightly, as a child in a toy store, Aikura ran over to the necklace arrangements and started looking them over. Icy blues gazing over all the different kinds of styles when a lilac coloured laced choker necklace caught her attention, the light lilac coloured item was made of simple flowery looking design with a slightly darker lilac coloured rose, that hung in its center; with ribbon ties. Aikuras icy blues stared longingly towards the said item when she felt a presence behind her, sighing deeply she glanced behind her with a weakened smile, before glancing back towards the choker styled necklace
"I think it would suit you Aikura-Chan"
"R-Really Akatsuki-Sempai?"
"Yeah, so why not buy it? I am sure you can find a very lovely dress to go with it" Akatsuki said simply while smiling down at the young pure blood
"I don't really have any dresses it would go with, or any style of outfit though"
"Well, this is what today was about right? Spending time together, and you shopping"
"Yeah I guess" Aikura said lightly before glancing back up to the orange haired male before whispering weakly and lowly, "Say Akatsuki-Sempai, do you think my brother would like it?"
"You mean Senri? Yeah I think he would, especially if it is you wearing it"
"Yeah... Maybe I will buy it another day, I mainly wanted to do some shoe and clothes shopping" Aikura said lightly, with a saddening sigh as she turned around and walked out of the small shop, leaving Akatsuki staring after her, before glancing back towards the sale clerk; and with a nod the said choker was removed from the glass cabinet it had been situated within, and placed into a small pale blue necklace box. Smiling, Akatsuki paid for the choker and slipped it into the bag he had in his hands before he also left the shop to join up with Aikura, as the two of them headed off towards a fancy looking dress shop.
Inside the fancy styled dress shop, Aikura walked off towards the more summer styled dresses, her icy blues gazing in awe towards the pale and dark colours; yet a deep sigh slipped from parted lips. Noting the sigh slipping from Aikuras lips, Akatsuki decided to mention to Aikura that she didn't exactly have to look around dress shops or shoe shops, if it was going to make her feel sad, glancing towards him Aikura smiled weakly before explaining herself that she enjoyed looking at all the different styles of dresses. Nodding in understanding, Akatsuki walked over to a set of chairs, and sat down while watching the young pure blood as she walked around the different styles of dresses. Picking out several dresses, Aikura walked happily over towards the changing rooms and disapeared behind the doors, once she had closed the changing room door and flipped the latch to securely lock the door, Aikura then hung up the dresses before she sighed lightly and started removing her top and shorts.
Pulling down a pale blue dress, Aikura easily slipped the cotten fabric over her lithe form, the slightly thick straps sat securely on her shoulders, while the knee length blue dress flowed out slightly. Glancing at her reflection she smiled lightly, turning to her side breifly and re-checked her reflection, Aikura then smiled again as she took the dress off, and then proceeded to try on the remaining three dresses, each a different shade of blue.
Once Aikura had tried on all the dresses, she carefully hung them all back up, as she re-dressed quickly and unlocked the changing room door; opening said door, Aikura peaked her head out to see Akatsuki standing in front of her holding out two different coloured ball-gown styled dresses
"W-what are these for?"
"I got bored waiting for you, so I looked over the longer length dresses and saw these two. I think they would suit you. So would you please at least try them on Aikura-Chan?" Akatsuki said lightly, handing the two dresses out to Aikura
"I guess, take these though, but do these come in other colours? Like this in a purple? or this in blue?" Aikura asked, after handing over the four light coloured summer dresses while taking the two ball-gown styled dresses with slight disgust
"I will get the store clerk to find out, but just try these two on and let me see okay? You don't have to buy them, I would like to see if I am right, that you suit them" Akatsuki said softly, causing Aikura to sigh and nod before returning into the changing room, once again locking the door before hanging the dresses up and trailing her fingers over the soft fabric.
After about five long minutes, Aikura opened the changing room door and stepped out on her toes, stumbling slightly as she placed her hands against the wall with a small yelp; causing Akatsuki to glance up and blink several times as he noticed Aikura holding herself up against the wall
"That dress is really nice on you Aikura-Chan, but what is wrong?"
"I am...s-standing on my toes... it too long"
"Ah, so a dress you would need heels with?" Akatsuki asked, as he stood up and walked slightly closer to the young pure blood with a smile. Aikuras first dress she tried was a light blue, tinted with slight lilac, it was strapless, yet clung to her lithe form snugly. It was a simple long, ground touching dress, with a blue and lilac entwined back bow, "I like this dress, but I am going to guess that it doesn't give you much room to move or breath"
"It d-doesn't... c-can I t-take it off...now?"
"Yeah, go on, try the other one on" Akatsuki replied softly, causing Aikura to nod and return slowly back to the changing room, once seated Akatsuki glanced to his right and sighed, "Not that dress, she looked pretty uncomfortable Senri"
"Right, It did look nice on her. I will just have to see the other dress"
"Yeah, though why did you sneak over here?"
"Well, It is Rima that is working today. When I saw you with Aikura-Chan, I was curious. I know she doesn't want to go to the Dance, but I have a plan to get her to agree to go with me" Senri replied before stepping back wards out of sight, "Door is opening"
"Yeah, sounds like a good plan, I think Dorm President Kuran is doing the same thing" Akatsuki replied as he glanced back towards Aikura, her pale features dusted in crimson. Her lithe form adorned now in a similar form of a princess gown, strapless again, and hugging her body gently while a knee to ankle slit ran down the lilac coloured dress, that was also an almost floor touching dress. Akatsukis orange coloured orbs stared in awe at Aikura, seeing how she looked embarrassed he walked over to her, taking her hand and smiling lightly down at her, "Now this dress looks much better"
"I... w-well really like this dress... that choker I liked would go well with this dress"
"Yes, I do believe it would. I bet Senri would be speechless if he saw you in a dress like this"
"Y-you really think so A-Akatsuki-Sempai" Aikura asked softly, her icy blues glancing up at Akatsuki with a smile touching her lips
"Yes definitely. Especially with roses decorating your hair, you would look like a true Princess" Akatsuki said simply, a smile touching his lips also, "Also a nice pale lilac pair of heels. I am sure that you would gain his attention over anyone elses"
"R-Really? I am n-not that p-pretty A-Akatsuki-Sempai"
"Yes you are, now go on, go get changed, so you can pay for your dresses. Then we can go get you some other things, then head back to the academy. Wouldn't want to upset or make Dorm President Kuran angry with us, would we?"
"Yeah true, okay. give me five minutes" Aikura said softly, turning around and heading back into the changing room as Akatsuki returned to his seat, when he noticed out the corner of his eye a rather red faced male model. Raising a brow, Akatsuki then chuckled lightly as he sat down
"Earth to Senri, you still with us?"
"Y-yeah... damn! Aikura-Chan will be going to the dance, she cannot refuse. She looked fabulous, so that is my Annual gift to her, that dress" Senri stated simply as he glanced towards the changing room door and noticed it was opening, sighing briefly he stepped out of view before speaking lowly, "I will meet you back at school, just get her out of this shop, so I can buy her that dress and get it back to the academy"
"Yeah, okay Senri" Akatsuki replied simply, a small smile touching his lips as he glanced up at Aikura, "Ready?"
"Yeah, just need to pay for the summer dresses, I will let you put this back" Aikura said softly, handing the dresses to Akatsuki, while taking the four summer dresses, and headed over to the counter.
Chuckling lightly with a shake of his head, Akatsuki handed Senri the lilac dress as he headed off towards the counters where several of the ball-gown dresses were, and returned the pale blue dress when he noticed Aikura heading towards the exit with her bags in her hands. Chuckling and shaking his head, Akatsuki glanced towards Senri and gave him a small nod before he left the shop and guided Aikura to her next requested store.
A small groan slipped from Aikuras lips as she gazed around the shoe shop, her icy blues staring towards several different styles of boots, as Akatsuki walked up behind her and smiled in the direction of the boots she had been staring at
"They are some nice boots"
"Huh!? Oh... y-yeah"
"What is wrong Aikura-Chan?" Akatsuki asked lightly, as icy blues gazed up towards him before sighing deeply as she glanced around the store
"I just feel like we are being followed"
"Really? I didn't feel anything, are you sure you are feeling okay? We have been out in the heat for about four hours already"
"Yeah... Guess it is just the heat" Aikura replied weakly as she sighed again before walking around the shoe shop, taking in the different styles of heeled shoes, boots, and even flat heeled pumps. Her icy blues landing on pair of ribbon tied strappy lilac shoes, that had what seemed to be a good four inch heel as she smiled brightly; walking over to the shoes and picking them up with bright eyes, "I have to get these"
"Oh?" Akatsuki questioned as he noticed the shoes in Aikuras hands, a smile tugging at his lips, "Then get them. If you really like them"
"Oh I do, I am sure I have something they would go with" Aikura said happily as she almost skipped over to the counter to pay for the shoes. Once brought Aikura beamed happily towards Akatsuki before explaining they should return back to the Academy, earning a small nod, the two Night Class students returned back to Cross Academy.
When the two entered the Moon Dormitories, Kaname was sat waiting for them, glancing up from his book, Kaname smiled towards the two vampires as Aikura explained that she was going to head back to sleep for a couple of hours, and that she didn't want to be disturbed; which caused the two vampires to nod in understanding. Once Aikura ran up the stairs and vanished along the hallway, Akatsuki handed Kaname the bag he had been carrying containing the item he wanted, along with the collar styled necklace Aikura wanted, receiving a small thanks Akatsuki also retired back to his own bedroom to grab some extra sleep himself. Kaname just leaned back in his seat as he glanced over the lilac coloured choker-necklace with a small chuckle, already spoken to Senri, Kaname sighed lightly before he himself returned to his own bedroom, with bag in his hands. Retiring to his own bedroom for the next few hours before the rest of the Night class vampires were to awaken for classes.
