"Can I come out now?"
"Yes." Elizabeth replied. He jumped out of her bag and admired his surroundings.
"Well, Riji-sama, this seems lavish." Kuro said.
"Yeah..." Elizabeth sat down on the lounging sofa in front of her bed. "Rido-sama wants me to kill his nephew, Kuro-kun, but I don't think that I can."
"Why not?" Kuro asked. Elizabeth looked down at him.
"Well, the fact that Kaname saved me from that Level E today means a lot to me. He's a pureblood and I'm a human-turned-vampire. He's the prince and I'm the lowlife scum. Why would he save me?"
"Well, maybe he likes you." Kuro suggested. Elizabeth shook her head.
"No, I think I just happened to be there...I suppose that he could've left me to my death though."
"Exactly." Kuro said. "Perhaps he likes you."
"Stop it Kuro-kun. You're making this harder. I have to try and kill him."
Kuro then looked very grave.
"What's wrong, Kuro-kun?"
"I think that you should hold off trying to kill him."
"What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked. Kuro sighed.
"I mean...once Rido is done with you...he may kill you...I've seen it happen."
Elizabeth paled. "You mean he'll kill me once I've done the job."
"You could be excecuted anyway for murder of a pureblood if you get caught by the Vampire Senate."
Elizabeth gave him a questioning look.
"You seem to know a lot for a cat. Is there something you're not telling me?"
"No." he said bluntly. He jumped off her knee. Elizabeth sat there, quite surprised by Kuro's tone. She stood up and walked to the door and said, "Fine, don't speak to me." she walked out but bumbed into someone. She nearly lost her balance but two strong arms caught her. She had her eyes closed tightly, not wanting to see the person's face. Before she had a chance to apologise, in English of cause, as all train of thought in Japanese had gone with the wind, the person she bumped into spoke up.
"We should really stop meeting like this, Watoson-san." the person whispered huskily. Elizabeth opened one eye to see Kaname gazing at her. Elizabeth's eyes opened fully and widened and a bright read blush spread across her pale cheeks.
"Kuran-dojo...I'm sorry..." Elizabeth managed to say. Kaname chuckled huskily.
"I know." He smirked. Elizabeth pulled herself away from Kaname, therefore getting a better look at him. Her mouth dropped. He was beautiful when he dressed casually. his black silk school shirt was open half way, showing off his toned, smooth, lean chest and his long, messy tresses fluttered about his face and some of it lay delicately on his strong shoulders. His wine coloured eyes pierced her soul...threatening to reveal her deepest secrets.
"I smelt cat on you...it definately not me."
"Is your sense of smell really as good as you think it is? Maybe your nose is too near your armpits." Before Elizabeth had realized what she had said, she'd said it. She clapped a hand over her mouth, trying to stop herself from saying anything more to get herself killed. She'd just told him that he stunk of cats when he blatantly didn't. She could feel the anger and power exuding off of him. She backed away slightly. She swallowed hard, making a gulping sound.
"You'd better have a good explanation for this." he said moving closer and his arm went around her waist pulling her forward. "You're the one who smells of cats."
"Can I help it if cats like me?" Elizabeth swallowed again.
Kaname let go of her with out a word. Elizabeth gulped, "Do you have any catnip?" Kaname asked. Elizabeth shook her head.
"No." Elizabeth smiled nervously. Kaname rolled his eyes.
"Anyway, I have to go. I've got to get ready for school. See you soon." Kaname walked away, without another glance. Elizabeth glared at his back.
"That smug bastard..." she whispered in English, hoping that nobody would understand her." However, Kaname knew English and he heard her at the end of the corridor.
"I heard that." he said smugly and in English to rub salt into her wounds. Elizabeth washed her hands of him and gave a huff, storming into her room and slamming the door.
