Author's rambling space: I guess I got really bored and decided to update again.
It's so weird... I ran out of things to say. Oh wells... I would like to thank the following people for reviewing the previous chapter:
VampireMaddy - Don't worry. The 'kiss part' will be soon... Really soon... (Oops... I just spilled the plot... [Bangs head in the keyboard]) And also for being the very first one to review the chapter. ^_^
RimaTouyaXxSenrixX - Yes... A very big problem for Aidou, for Sayori can speak French. I'm trying to learn Dutch. I have an obsession over languages. ^_^
AidoRockz - Aidou here will probably be around 23 or 24. ^_^
fan-of-fantasy forever - Thank you so much. I'm also amused while writing Aidou's monologues. Because that's what I do myself. I have a conversation with myself... Mentaly, of course. People might call me crazy... But then, I'm born crazy. ^_^
shikaiying - I'll try my best to stop bullying Aidou. ^_^
Amethyst Lynn Willow - Thanks. I'm glad you find it cute. ^_^
And also thanks to Mitsuki-chi even though she's not on the review page list.
Now, I know I've told this one hundreds of times before, the 3 stalkers will make their debut in making Aidou's night a living nightmare(not really). And this time, I'm really going to put it here. It was supposed to be on the previous chapter but then, my plot bunnies must have hated me because they all committed suicide. But don't worry. I always have a backup plan... Although it comes after 2 weeks... Anyway... I will no longer hold you off. Here's the chapter!
Read and Review, please! :D

I'm Being Delusional
So... What do you guys want to know? I'm not in my usual generous mood (Since when did I become generous?), you might as well tell me what you want to know aside from us having a lovely dinner whilst chatting to each other about random stuff, and me hearing things.
Oh, so you want to know more about me hearing things aside from me hearing you, eh? Well then. Join us in our conversation and I will clearly point to you, people-in-my-head-who-are-starting-to-drive-me-crazy, what I hear.
"So, Yuuki. What's this 'fabulously good news' you were telling me earlier?" Yori said.
"Oh! Kaname-niisama will buy me a kitty!" Yuuki-sama saild gleefully before taking a bite of her food.
"Cool." Yori said, smiling before sipping her juice.
"PSSST!" This is what I'm talking about. Do you expect Kaname-sama, Yuuki-sama and Yori to do that unladylike and ungentlemanly sound? I don't think so. I looked around me but I saw no one capable of creating that sound since all of the people here are eating, chatting, and other things that can be done in a restaurant... Except that perverted thing... Well, at least you can do the less perverted thing in public like making out, touching each other... Oh dear God! Can they even do that in public?! Sheesh! Get a room!
Averting my eyes from the scene, now people. Seriously... It's like watching live porn... Ugh... Anyway, I think my eyes caught the suspect. There! Outside the restaurant, behind Yori. Can you see her? Can you? Dammit! How can you not see her? You're inside my head! Ugh... Here... Lemme give you a description...
She's wearing a black shirt, plain except for the large 'AmayaElika' printed on her shirt. I wonder what's that? Maybe her code name? Anyway... She has those streaks in her cheeks. You know, like in the military. She's wearing camouflage pants, combat boots and I think she's equipped with a shotgun... Oh! She's also wearing a helmet... And she's holding binoculars... And she's looking this way.
She got a walkie-talkie from her side and began to talk to someone, still not taking her eyes off me.
"Aidou?" I heard Kaname-sama call me and my head instantly whipped to his direction.
"Yes, Kaname-sama?" I asked. Was he talking to me these past 5 minutes?
"I was asking you a question and that question needs an answer." Kaname-sama said. Screwed. He was talking to me during these past 5 minutes
"What is the question again, Kaname-sama?" I asked. God... I feel so rude for not listening to Kaname-sama. I was busy looking at that girl. THAT GIRL! Where is she?!
I frantically looked around the area to find the girl but, when I looked back to the place where I last saw her, she's gone. Gone, I tell you! G-O-N-E! I started hyperventilating in my seat, making me look like an idiot. Don't blame me. That girl is carrying a shotgun similar to Yagari-sensei's. And she has a walkie-talkie. That means, she's not alone. Oh no...
I jumped from my seat when a hand touched my shoulder. "Aidou, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Absolutely f-cking fine! No need to worry! I'm not hyperventilating over something so stupid!" I said. I think my voice went 2 octaves higher.
"Aidou-kun, are you hyperventilating over something so stupid?" I heard Yuuki-sama speak. I looked at her and she blinked back at me. Then, I turned to look around me. Everybody in the place stopped whatever it is they're doing to look at me as if I'm crazy. Maybe I am crazy.
"...Yes..." I mumbled as I sat back down on my chair, my face red from embarrassment.
"What are you worrying about, Hanabusa?" Yori asked me. At this, Yuuki-sama squealed like a piggy... A cute piggy at least. Yori ignored Yuuki-sama's squeals and continued to look at me in the eye.
"Nothing. It's a... stupid thing... So... Nevermind..." I said, turning away from her gaze. Earlier, she was threatening me. And now, she's being so gentle. I'm scared.
"Aidou, are you sure you're fine?"
"Yes, Kaname-sama. I'm sure." I smiled at him. I looked back outside the restaurant only to find that 'AmayaElika' is no longer alone. She's with two other girls, both wearing the same as 'AmayaElika's except that the names in their shirt are different. One is wearing a shirt with 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' written on her shirt, the other one has 'Mitsuki-chi' written on hers. It seems like the three of them are discussing something. Every now and then, they would glance at my direction, as if they're planning something against me... Uh-oh... They ARE planning something against me. Then, I noticed their gaze shifted from me to Yori. Uh-oh... They're planning something evil against me and Yori! Gah! I need help!
"Seriously, Aidou. What's wrong?" I turned my attention to Kaname-sama. All three of them looked at me with concern in their eyes. Wow. I must look so pathetic I needed to be sympathized. I took a deep breath as I state my very very ridiculous statement.
"There are people outside this restaurant and I think they're going to cause us some trouble." I stated. They're gonna laugh. They're gonna laugh. They're gonna-
"Where are they, Aidou?" Kaname-sama asked me in his oh-so velvety and dark voice. I pointed the direction which I last saw the three people. Three heads immediately snapped towards the direction I have pointed.
"Aidou-kun, are you sure there are people outside? Because what we can see are rose buses." Yuuki-sama said.
"What?! No! Yuuki-sama, there were people out there... I think they're hiding behind that rose bush." I said, being frantic again. I can't risk Yori being in danger... Wait a second... Since when did I become my secretary's knight in shining armor?
"Will it make you feel better if I send someone to take a look?" Kaname-sama sighed.
"Yes." I mumbled. Then Kaname-sama called someone to check on the rose bushes. I feel ashamed of myself. I'm a noble, yet a pure blood is doing my chore.
A few minutes passed and the man came back with the news.
"Sir, there's no one there except for three girls reading a magazine. Nothing unusual about that." the man said.
"That must be them in disguise!" I said. Kaname-sama sighed and thanked the man.
"Aidou, I think you're being delusional." Kaname-sama said. Perhaps I'm being delusional but those three are up to no good.
"Maybe I am being delusional. I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Kaname-sama." I said. A few minutes passed and there was peace again. Well, except for a man arguing with a waiter. But who cares. The four of us are all busy chatting to care. Hmm... Maybe I am over reacting on things.
"So, Yori-chan, how's work?" Yuuki-sama asked Yori as she take a spoonful of her parfait. Seriously... Yuuki-sama has a large appetite. Good thing she doesn't get fat. Well, when we were in high school, she was chubby. But when her vampire self woke up, damn! She's so sexy she'll look good in bed with me!
...
I did not just said that... I will never talk about Yuuki-sama like that ever again... Ever... Let's just forget that we had this conversation and none of us will breathe a word about this to Yuuki-sama, okay? C'mon people... Answer me. I'm starting to feel that I'm cra-Ow! Who did that?
I looked around me to find the culprit who hit me with a... A rock? What's a rock doing here? Uh-oh... Maybe it's those girls again! Or maybe I'm being delusional again...
"Who threw a rock on my head?" I asked. All three of them looked at me like I became crazy... Well, except Kaname-sama because he's still wearing his stoic mask but his eyes tells me everything I need to know - Aidou is going crazy.
"Why are you guys looking at me like I grew another head?" I asked.
"Hanabusa, who will be an idiot enough to throw a rock on your head?" Yori said as if it's really obvious.
"Uhm... Those girls?" I said. Kaname-sama sighed.
"Aidou, we already checked the area you specified. And no one suspicious is there." Kaname-sama said. True. The man already checked the are and they did not found anyone suspicious. But the rock came from my right, meaning, they changed their position.
"True, Kaname-sama. But the rock came from my right. So they must have changed their position because we already figured out that they are the ones causing the ruckus. " I said. Hah! Take that, everyone. No one will ever oppose to that!
I saw Kaname-sama roll his eyes. "Perhaps they are on the same area and they have a sling shot and the rock zigzagged in the air, making it appear that they are on your right."
Okay, what?
*Outside the restaurant*
"Dammit! Kuran-senpai figured that one out! Plan C!" The girl wearing a black shirt with 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' written on it.
"My turn!" Another girl with 'Mitsuki-chi' written in her shirt said.
*Back inside the restaurant*
All of us have our mouths open ajar. Say what? A rock dodging other people and objects just to hit me on my head? WTF?! Is that even possible? And seeing that it's Kaname-sama, THE Kaname-sama, who said this, it's even more... Woah... It took us all off guard.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? I intended that as a joke." Kaname-sama said. Oh. So it is a joke. I almost believed that a rock flying in mid-air can possibly take left and right turns.
"Oh." All of us said in unison.
"Here's the bill, sir." The waiter said, setting the tray on the table. Did we asked for the bill already?
"But we did not asked for the bill yet." Kaname-sama said.
"Is that so? Well, my apologies, sir but-"
"Give the blond the letter, you idiot!" We all heard the raspy whisper coming from the same direction I had pointed earlier. Hmm... Maybe they already went back there.
The man did as the whisperer had said. He got a folded piece of paper from the tray and gave it to me. I mumbled a 'thanks' and unfolded the letter. Everybody, including the waiter, was peeking at the paper to catch a glimpse.
Aidou-senpai,
If you don't want to get in trouble, you better step out of the restaurant alone.
In case you don't know, this is a threat. So get threatened.
Anyway, do as you are told and no harm will be done.
xoxo
A fan of yours.
PS
Mind bring us some food here? We're hungry. We've been spying on you for the last 2 hours and we haven't had our dinner yet. So some food will be good too. Oh! And drinks too if you don't mind. I like juice though. So don't think about getting me soft drinks. Okay? Thanks!
"I think they're threatening you." Yuuk-sama said. Yuuki-sama is really dense... That's the main thing that did not change about her. I wonder how Kaname-sama, Kiryuu, Yagari-sensei and Cross-rijicho can survive living with such a dense girl? And I wonder how Yori can stand hanging out with her?
...
Again, we did not just have this conversation.
"I think they want to kidnap me." I said after a few seconds.
"Hanabusa, if they want to kidnap you, why would they write you a letter?" Yori said. True... If they're kidnapping me, why would I need to be informed? Anyway, this is stupid.
"This is stupid." I said, standing up.
"Where are you going?" Yori asked, concern in her eyes.
"Out. I'm gonna tell them to stop bothering us." I said, walking towards the entrance/exit.
"Okay." Yori said. Okay, in all honesty, I'm expecting her to stop me. Like 'Don't go outside' or 'Stay here. You could get hurt.' But no... All she said is 'Okay' and she said it in a plain voice that does not seem to hold any concern.
"Hanabusa?" I turned my head to her direction to see her eyes filled with concern. "Be careful." I smiled. So she does care about me.
I continued to walk towards the entrance/exit and outside, I saw a girl with 'Mitsuki-chi' written on her shirt. I walked out of the restaurant and she escorted me to a less populated area.
"Aidou-senpai, tehre is something you need to know." 'AmayaElika' said.
"What is it? Is it that important that you have to make me think I'm hearing things, throw a rock at my head, and write me a threat?" I said, facing all the three girls.
"Mira is..." 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' said
"After you and Yori-chan..." 'Mitsuki-chi' continued.
"She wants to ruin your dinner date..." 'AmayaElika' said... What is this? A game of 'Finish the Sentence' or something?
"That's why, you have to leave this place..." 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' said.
"Because she's already on her way here." 'Mitsuki-chi' finished the entire statement.
"What? You can't be serious! How did she knew that we have a diner date?" I asked. Seriously, how did she knew that we have a dinner date? She's like an ultimately creepy possessive stalker that will not stop unless I go out with her... So not happening.
"She has us to keep an eye on you." 'AmayaElika' said.
"We've been monitoring you ever since you fired her." 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' said.
"So please, Aidou-senpai. Change venues. Don't go home yet. She will surely look there." 'Mitsuki-chi' said.
"Why are you helping me if you're with her in this game?" I asked suspiciously. This may be another trap.
"Because we think she has gone too far as to hurt Yori-chan." 'AmayaElika' said.
"What?!" I exclaimed. Nobody dare hurt her unless they want to die... Don't get me wrong. I'm saving myself a punishment form Kaname-sama and Yuuki-sama and a pretty secretary.
"Her plan is to lure her out," 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' said.
"Kidnap her," 'Mitsuki-chi' said.
"And go and rape you to death." 'AmayaElika' said. I stared at them as if they were crazy.
"You're joking, right?" I said, the 'are you guys nuts' look still in tact.
"No, we're not. Please, Aidou-senpai. You have to go like ASAP. She will be here in exactly 12 minutes 42 seconds." 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' said.
"This is not a joke?" I asked, still not trusting them. How can you trust someone who made you think you're hearing things, throw a rock at your head and give you a note that threats you?
"Not a joke." 'Mitsuki-chi' said.
"And you're helping me?" I asked, my suspicion about them slightly getting washed away.
"Yes." 'AmayaElika' said.
"And you're not those obsessed fangirls ready to pounce on me?" I asked my last question.
"No. But we're you're fans." 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' said.
"Okay. I'm trusting you guys. Just make sure you are not planning a huge joke on me and Yo-"
"Just go, Aidou-senpai! Mira will be here within 10 minutes 20 seconds!" 'Mitsuki-chi' said, pushing me towards the entrance/exit of the restaurant.
"Okay okay! I'm going! No need to be pushy." I said, making 'Mitsuki-chi' to stop pushing me.
"Oh, here. Since I did not bring any food with me and you're helping me escape Mira, this is for the three of you." I said as I got a a check from my checkbook... Or whatever you call this thing. Uh-uh. I'm not telling you the amount.
"A-Aidou-senpai, you don't-" 'AmayaElika' started to protest but I cut her off.
"Just accept it. I know you guys haven't have any food yet. So go buy yourselves something to eat with that check." I said, putting the check on to 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' hands.
"Thank you, Aidou-senpai." 'Eternal-Bluerose-Yuri' said.
"Thank you!" 'Mitsuki-chi' said.
"No problem. It's the least I can do for saving my butt from my crazy ex-secretary." And here I was, thinking that I'm going crazy where there's someone out there crazier than me.
"No problem. Now go get the rest and get out of this place. Mira will be here in exactly 8 minutes." 'AmayaElika' said, pushing me towards the interior of the restaurant but I stopped her because I'm capable of walking there myself.
"Thank you!" I called out to them.
"You're welcome!" The three of them called back.
I walked back to my seat to find that Kaname-sama, Yuuki-sama and Yori all held the concern in their eyes.
"Aidou-kun, did they hurt you?" Yuuki-sama said once I'm standing in front of our table.
"No, but they gave me a warning. My ex-secratary a.k.a. obsessed fangirl of mine, is on her way to cause Yori harm. And they've told me to get out of this place because she's on her way here. And that she will be here in exactly... 7 minutes." I said all in one breath. They looked at me as if I'm crazy. But when they saw the seriousness of my face and the seriousness of my tone, alas, they believed me.
"Well then, where do you suppose we go, seeing that you can't head home yet because she will go after you there?" Kaname-sama said, totally reading my mind.
"I was thinking that we go to a bar. But I don't know if Yuuki-sama and Yori drink." I said. Yes. All I want to do right now is get drunk and forget the lunacy that I'm currently in.
"Yes, I drink, right onii-sama?" Yuuki-sama said, using her 'say yes or else' tone.
"Yes... Yuuki drinks like a mad man..." Kaname-sama said. Wow. Even that works on Kaname-sama.
"How about you, Yori?" I asked. Hey I have to consider my girlfriend's likes and dislikes.
"Yeah. Sure. But not too much. I don't want my parents to think that I lied about the date to go with a guy to get drunk." Yori said.
"Well then, off to the bar we go." I said. Kaname-sama called for the waiter for the bill which the waiter promptly brought over in a tray. Kaname-sama paid for it (since he said dinner's on him) and we all went out of the restaurant with 2 minutes to spare.
Hmm... I wonder if Akatsuki, Ruka, Shiki and Rima will be there? And Ichijou-san? But... Didn't he said that he will be at the restaurant? Oh wells. We're talking about Ichijou-san. His mind changes faster than the weather.
"Aidou, what bar are we exactly going?" Kaname-sama asked, holding the door open for Yuuki-sama.
"Oh the bar where me and Akatsuki usually go to hang out. It's a few blocks from here." I said, closing the passanger's door after Yori climbed in.
"Well then, take the lead, Aidou." Kaname-sama said as he climbed the driver's seat. I did the same and off we go to get drunk.
Author's rambling area: I don't drink and I haven't been into a bar. But since a bar will be really necessary to twist the story to a full (or half or quarter) AidOri, I have to put this one up. :D
The stalking wasn't for a bad cause, now wasn't it? It's to warn Aidou to get the hell out of there before he gets raped. But then, when they all get to the bar, I wonder what will happen?
You wanna know? Well then, ...
Aidou: *while driving* Review everyone!
Yori: Hanabusa, who are you talking to?
Aidou: Uhm... The mosquitoes! Yeah, the mosquitoes, Yori. I'm talking to mosquitoes.
