Keyoshi pov.

I felt weirded out. I needed a drink.

Ichijo pov.

Okay, so the doctor said that the break wasn't too bad, and that she could leave today. I was going to go and pick her up. I couldn't wait to see her again, feel her long silky dark red hair and take in her scent, and look into her dark, beautiful, purple eyes and tell her how much I loved her. She was the one for me. And I loved her. With all my heart.

As I entered the room, I saw Keyoshi sitting there sipping a drink. She had a grimace on her face. "What's wrong?" I asked, concern in my tone. She looked up and smiled, "Oh, nothing." And went back to sipping her drink. I was still suspicious though.

"You know, you can tell me right?" I asked her, sitting down next to her.

She looked unsure, then finally let it out. 'Kaname is freaking me out… One minute he's like, I won't tell you anything, you're inferior to me, next he's all like, I care for you, and I like how you speak your mind and not suck up to me. What's up with that?" She looked very irritated.

"I'll talk to him about it. Don't worry. Kaname's a very good friend of mine. He'd have a good reason for it. He probably wasn't trying to freak you out." I pulled her into a hug and rested my head against her hair. She relaxed and turned upward. Her lips met mine and warmth moved from hers to mine. Our lips moulded together perfectly, as if made for this purpose. I was lost in an world of bliss, where nothing else mattered. Her cold fingers pressed through my shirt and found my skin, while mine went up her sleeve.

Suddenly she pulled back. "Stop." She whispered. I immediately let go of her.

"Too much?" I asked. She looked away.

"Yeah." She said a bit guilty. "I-I'm sorry.."

"No, you're right. I'm sorry." I looked at her fondly. Keyoshi was the perfect image. She didn't want to take things too far that they might be on the verge of never going back. I was lucky to have such a wonderful person as mine. To know that I'd always have her.

"Well, The doctor said that you're going to be able to come out of here soon, and Chairman thought it would be great if I took you out. Maybe get something to eat."

"No Ichijo. You're gonna take me someplace where they charge 100 bucks for a bottle of water."

I smiled cheerfully at her. "Yep."

She groaned. "You spend way too much money on me."

"Why can't I? Since I'm your boyfriend, it's my job to shower you with gifts and spend as much money on you as possible." I pointed out.

"Yeah, yeah." She said rolling her eyes, but I could see the corners of her mouth twitch. "When do we go?"

"Tonight if you want."

She nodded, "Let's go."

Keyoshi pov.

I don't know how I managed to put on this dress. I had to admit, this was the best dress ever, but with my cast, it took FOREVER to put on.

The dress was bright red, and very clingy. The stretchy material was pulled tight over me, and black elegant flowers, roses I think, were elaborately designed on. It was strapless, and that was what made it possible to put on. There was a long black ribbon around my waist that was hanging down at the back. The dress in total ended A tiny bit above my knees. My ankle was okay now, so I managed to wear the high heeled strappies.

"Wow!" Yuki gasped when I had the dress on. "It looks so awesome on you!"

I looked down at it. Okay, she was right. I looked pretty hot.

Then I saw a note. It was lying in the box that the dress had come in. Huh? I picked it up and read.

I guessed you'd like the dress.

"Yuki, where'd you get the dress?" I asked.

"I don't know… But who cares? Okay, now for your hair!" She then ordered me to sit down, getting hyper. "The back of your hair is awesome, so I'm going to leave it, But I reckon you'd look really pretty with a side fringe…" She started to separate my fringe. "hmm… If I put this big part here and just leave a bit on the other side so it'll look better." She mused. Did I mention that Yuki is an AWESOME hairdresser?

She started trimming my fringe here and there. Her face looked so absorbed. It was creepy.

"Done!" She exclaimed, putting her things down. She gasped, "I was RIGHT! You look Beautiful!"

Okay…

It covered my eyes a bit, but other than that, it felt fine.

She held up a mirror and I looked in it. "Yuki! You have to be the best stylist hairdresser in the world!" The fringe really emphasized my eyes. Yuki had really out done herself this time.

"oh, it was nothing." She said, blushing. I gave her a hug.

"Thank you!"

"well, you better go. It's 5.20." She said, handing me a black leather bag.

"Oh Yuki, I can't take this." I said looking at it. It was XL.

"I want you to take it."

I looked around my room, trying to find something to give to her. My eyes rested on a bracelet that some guy had given me ounce. I took it and gave it to her.

"For me! B-but those are sapphires…" She stared eyes wide at it.

"Yes, yes, take it!" I said, pushing it into her hands. There were only a few pieces of jewelry I actually cared about.

"Thank you!" we hugged again.

"I better go…" it was 5.25. I was supposed to meet Ichijo at 5.30.

"Yeah. Good luck!"

"Yeah, Cya!"

I hurried through the corridors and to the gates where Ichijo was standing.

I walked over to him. "Hey Ichijo!"

He took my hand and kissed it and looked up at me through his eyelashes. I found it funny and laughed.

"I have the perfect thing to match that dress." He said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a rose choker necklace. It was awesome.

"One question." I asked Ichijo,

"Yes?"

"Why does everyone give me things that are involved with roses?"

He laughed. He held out his arm and I took it.

As we walked through the halls, a person materialized out of the shadows.

Kaname pov.

I must say, Keyoshi looked absolutely stunning in that dress. It was hard not to ogle.

"Where are you two going?" I asked, a tad bit jealous of Takuma, Alright, very jealous.

"Chairman said that I could take Keyoshi-chan to dinner." Takuma said, cheerfully.

"Well, I hope you have nice dinner." I told him icily.

"You know," I said turning to Keyoshi, "I'd guessed you'd like the dress."

She frowned, then looked shocked.

"Well, we better get going." Takuma said, oblivious to our exchange.

"Y-yeah." Keyoshi stuttered. As they walked away though, Keyoshi suddenly fell and Takuma caught her.

"Keyoshi!" cried Takuma. "Are you alright? Do you want to go back?"

"No, I'm just a bit dizzy." She steadied herself and then the two of them continued walking.

The change was starting.

Two months. That was the time she had left as a human. Before she spent a month writhing in agony before she awoke anew.

Heh heh.
