All that evening, Matsu and I spent together. I forgot about Rosalie, about Max, about everything. The only thing that existed was he and I. Despite us going to art galleries and the prettiest of gardens, none of that existed with his presence. All we talked about was each other; I could not believe that a man could be so interested in what I had to say. It seemed as if he actually cared about my feelings, my thoughts, and my views towards life. I probably reminded him of someone I suppose.
Then, for some reason, I thought about Hiroaki. He acted the same way around me, yet he was much sweeter, gleeful. With him, I felt like a child, he lit up my life, and I could not be more grateful for meeting him.
"Stop right here…" Matsu tells the carriage driver.
"Yes Lord Matsu…" He responds. I look outside the window, happy to see home, yet at the same time, I did not want this to end. I slowly open the door and step out the carriage.
"I hope we can see each other again Vivien" He takes my hand in his and lightly kisses it; I could not help but smile.
"Do you really wish to see me again?" I ask.
"I had a wonderful time today; I have never enjoyed a day like I did today" He responds.
"Well inform me when Matsu, after all you are a busy man"
"Of course my lady, I'll send someone to escort you to me, if that's alright with you of course"
"Certainly Matsu…" I said with a smile on my face.
"Come on daddy I want to see Vivien!" I hear Rosalie say.
"Time for me to walk in…"
"My lady thank you for such a lovely evening" He tells me. Matsu steps into the carriage and leaves. Before I could open the door, Rosalie opens it.
"What was that all about? You left me waiting for you!"
"Well I was very rude to Mr. Watanabe, but he was such a gentleman about things"
"Oh and you laughed at me when I was gushing over him"
"Mr. Watanabe and you spent the day together?" My father asks.
"Yes daddy… I hope you do not mind. We just had a friendly day together" I respond, hoping he would buy it.
"I'm glad you're making friends, but I'll have to keep my eye on both boys," My father teased.
"What do you mean by that?" I ask.
"Hiroaki seems to be very interested in you, and we have yet to know Mr. Watanabe's feelings"
"Please daddy, Mr. Watanabe is an accomplished musician with an adoring woman he so loves, he just wants to be friends," I inform him.
"I like Hiroaki better anyways" My father teases again.
"What happened Kyrie, didn't we have a deal? Rosalie is still alive, weren't you going to kill her?" Max yells in anger, only to make Kyrie laugh.
"Hush now; we don't want our driver listening to our conversation" He cackles.
"I want her out of my life just like you promised, I don't give you blood to drink for nothing you know" Max snaps.
"I don't force you to bring me people, you did it on your own free will," Kyrie says with a smirk on his face.
"We made a deal Kyrie and I expect you to complete your end of the bargain"
"I would have if it hadn't been for that idiot musician," He says in anger.
"Lord Matsu Watanabe…?" Max asks in confusion.
"Yes that idiot thinks vampires and humans could get along, yet he breaks every rule in the book himself"
"What are you blabbing about Kyrie?"
"He's a vampire you idiot mortal!" He snaps and adds, "He had on of his servants erase your memory," Kyrie informs Max.
"How dare he foul my plans with Vivien?" He mutters in anger.
"You also have a rival I see, Hiroaki Aido. How he defended her, the fool" He chuckles.
"So will you try and kill her again?" Max asks.
"I will and for dessert I'll have that juicy human girl Hiroaki likes so much"
"Don't you dare touch her, she is to be my future bride," Max snaps. Kyrie laughs at his reaction.
"We are here sir…" The driver suddenly says, stopping the carriage.
"Very well, I'll kill Rosalie… but you have to give it time" Kyrie responds.
"This time everything better come out right" Max says, stepping out of the carriage. Instead of responding, Kyrie slams the carriage door shut and laughs.
"Of course it will boss!" He sarcastically says. Max walks up to the front door of the Tsukino residence…
The doorbell rings, daddy answers the door.
"Oh Max, I'm so glad you've made it" Rosalie squeals.
"Hello father, Hello my Rosalie"
"Hello son, please come in…" Mr. Tsukino responds. Rosalie runs up to Max and hugs him. Suddenly a wolf barges into our home.
"Oh my gosh a wolf!" Rosalie screams. All I could do was stand there in shock. I was to be afraid, yet something told me it did not want to harm us.
"Go away wolf please" My father pleads. He rushes to the kitchen and comes back with a broom.
"Father… let me handle that creature" He takes the broom away from my father and slowly walks up to the creature.
"Max don't hit the poor animal," I said.
"But Vivien can't you see that animal is savage and could hurt us" I turn my gaze back at the animal and look into it's eyes. There was something familiar in its eyes. I lightly caress the wolf's fur, and to everyone's surprise it did not attack me.
"My friend, you will not harm us right?" I ask it.
