Kiss of a Vampire

"I hate you Ikuto! Get the hell out! I never want to see you again!" I felt like I was going to break, but I knew it was for the best, so I watched her run out the door and left through her balcony.

Vampires. I knew a lot about their nature…but nothing about their personalities. The things I had always known were:

They hunted at night, however they could go in the sun if they were strong enough

They drank human blood

They mated by a mark, floral in pattern, that was attained by a bite

Things that I was just learning included:

It was possible for a vampire to mate with a human

They did have the power to let go of their victims if they wished to

When the two mates were away from each other, the mark on their necked burned, sometimes terribly

Chapter 5: Dress Shopping and Intimacy Training

"I-Ikuto stop…"

"Why?" He asked breathlessly as he stopped torturing my chest.

"Because…I just don't think I'm ready…" He stared at me for a moment…

"Why didn't you say that in the first place?!" He said chuckling. I blushed madly.

"I tried!" He looked at me and smiled.

"You better tell me right when you are then, ne?" I blushed again and nodded slowly. "We should probably get you clean then…you haven't bathed in days."

"Who's fault is that?!"

"Sorry, sorry…"

He picked me up slowly and walked down the hallway into a small baby-blue room. He slipped off my clothes, against my protests, and dropped me.

I didn't realize until I landed that it was a bubble bath. His cell phone started ringing. "I'll be back in a minute."

"…k…wait why?!" I heard him chuckle from the other room. I started washing. And, sure enough, A few minutes later he came back. He walked in and kissed me on the forehead…for no reason. What really confused me was why my arms were now restrained. "I-I-Ikuto! I said I'm not ready!" He smirked.

"I know. I won't do that. However, you need to be trained so you'll be ready faster." Uh-oh…

***

I sulked in my room – after he had finally agreed I could go home. I can't believe he did that…that's just…

I was having problems thinking about the bathtub accident. My phone rang. It was Rima.

"Hey Rima…"

"Are you ok?" she said worriedly. "No one has seen you in days! You sound a little…strange."

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Oh, thank God! We were all so worried! Oh, but, before I forget, the reason I called was to tell you that there's a big ball coming up to celebrate Utau's new record. She said your coming if she has to drag you by your hair." She chuckled, "You can tell she's a pacifist, huh? Anyway…the ball's gonna be tremendously formal, so you have to get a gown."

"Ugh!"

"Yeah, I'm sure you'll love that, huh? But hey, you can bring him!"

"Who?"

"Oh come on! I'm your BFFE! You know, your best fucking friend ever?! I know you well enough to know there's someone you're not telling me about. So, who are you dating!!!?"

"How do you know we're dating?"

"I told you! I know everything." Her voice turned almost menacing during the last sentence, and then she jeered in her normal petite tone: "So you better tell me who it is!"

"Well…" I told her everything. Well spare the recent events (bathtub), the kidnapping/threatening to kill her, and supernatural monsters bit. "You don't sound very surprised."

"About what?"

"That we're together." She snorted.

"Why would I be? Actually, I'm only surprised it took this long." She broke out into giggles. "Well I gotta go; I have to find my dress, too! Love ya'!" And with that she hung up.

"She's pretty good; she can almost read you as well as I can." Amu turned and nearly screamed. She started freaking out wondering how Ikuto had suddenly appeared in her room, however, he just kept talking. "A ball, huh? I guess I could go…I don't think I'd die." He stood at her doorframe, contemplating. "Hm, doesn't matter, but now we have a reason to go out, ne?" He smirked.

***

So there we were. Let me just get one thing straight. Dresses, if worn with sneakers of some sort, are OK. Gowns SUCK. S-U-C-K!!! Not to mention if it's "tremendously formal" that means high heels. Yes, high HELLS. I can't walk across a flat surface barefoot and yet they'll make me wear them. I just know it.

We stood in front of the dress shop. I was sooo hating my life, he just chuckled. "Is it that bad?"

"Do you wanna try one on?"

"I'll pass, but you have no choice, unless you want to get dragged by your hair all the way to the dance."

"Were you listening to my entire conversation?! And I know…but I don't think I can do it."

He grabbed my hand and dragged me inside. Once inside, the yellow walls and floral patterns- not to mention overly used senior citizen's perfume made my eye twitch madly. He chuckled again, "Don't die, Amu. If I can make it through so can you." I swallowed the thickly, bitter floral scent and nodded. I walked over to the gowns.

Thus the long process of changing and changing began.

"You know, you're usually so blunt, I thought you might be of use." I scoffed, twirling around again to look at every angle of the dress.

"I like all of them." I sighed and walked back into the changing room. "How much longer?"

"It wouldn't have taken this long if you would just tell me which one looked the best!"

"So a while, then?"

"I don't know!" I whined collapsing into the mirror.

"You ok?"

"Hm? Yeah."

"How many more dresses."

"Two."

"The smell of this place is making me light-headed. Either you hurry up or I'll go in there and change you myself." I could practically feel the smirk that was sure to be plastered on his face. Damn pervert.

"I'm going already!"

By the look on his face when I walked out of the changing room the second time, the second one was it. (I'll describe it later)


Ok…spur of the moment chapter. Now there's a ball…I suppose
