Chapter 5: By Her Side
"I have a favor to ask." Yuuki grinned at him.
"A favor?"
Yuuki nodded. Kain stood from his sit and walked to her. "And what is that?" His eyes searching, leaving his book open on the sofa. Yuuki blushed a little, scratching the back of her head as she replied.
"Well, if you don't mind. The chairman would like you to come with Zero and I to town."
"Why?" 'What is this all of the sudden?'
Yuuki shrugged the uneasiness and looked at him. "I'm not sure but...the chairman insisted and Kaname-sempai also wants you to do something." With that she took out a small note from her pocket and handed it to him. Kain took the small paper with little interest and read it quickly.
His expression didn't give away instead he looked up from the note and nodded at her. Yuuki smiled. "Well, in that case, Zero and I will be waiting near the gate in an hour." With that she left in a hurry. 'I wonder what's written on that note...' Yuuki wondered.
Kain placed the small note in his pocket and just stood there thinking. 'Kaname-sama...wants me to hunt two level E's...' His eyes narrowed at this. He sighed and walked back to his room.
…...
Hinata sweat dropped. 'I didn't get any sleep last night...and not to mention...'
flash back:
Yuuki opened the door and woke her up excitedly. "Well, did you give it to him?..ne~ Hinata-chan..~"
Hinata groaned and looked at the wall in front of her. "Well?" Hinata shook her head slowly but didn't say anything. Yuuki stopped shaking her and stared at her, concerned.
"I..wasn't able to give it to him..." She said, her voice low, not looking at her.
"Hinata-chan..."
Yuuki sat on her bed for a little bit longer thinking on what to say to her while placing a hand on Hinata's shoulder. Yuuki have no idea what to tell her. She worked hard last night making the chocolates yet...she wasn't able to give it. Her work was far better than hers and she knew it. Yuuki felt bad for acting all-happy when she didn't know what happened. Making her looked inconsiderate.
"Hinata-chan...I.."
Hinata sat up and just gave her a small smile. "Yuuki-chan its o.k. Don't worry maybe...I could give him the chocolates next year." She laughed a little.
Yuuki stared at her before shaking her head. "No!"
Hinata blinked at her confused. Yuuki grinned and then grabbed her hand. "Yuuki-chan?"
"Come! I think I have an idea!"
"Eh?"
End of flash back.
Hinata sighed. Yuuki invited her to come along with her and Zero to town after school. Hinata wore a white, sleeve less, dress that has a beige ribbon tied behind her and a pair of white, high heeled, sandals. While holding a matching beige colored, small bag. She let her hair down this time with white hair clips on each side.
Its 5:30 in the afternoon, they should return to school before nine as it is the school curfew. Since Kiryuu Zero is with them there shouldn't be any problem, along the way.
Hinata looked around, waiting patiently for Zero and Yuuki.
"Hinata-chan!" Yuuki called waving at her with Zero following behind.
"Yuuki-chan." She smiled as she greet her. "Hello, Zero-kun." She greeted him. Zero just nodded at her. As usual, unsociable as ever.
"Shall we go?"
"Wait." Yuuki said then looked around.
"Yuuki-chan?" Hinata looked at her, curious.
Yuuki continued to look around then spotted Kain walking towards their direction. "Ah! Kain-sempai! Over here!"
Hinata froze and Zero groaned.
Kain watched with wide eyes as he walked towards them. He almost lost his footing when he saw...her. Just standing there...with those big dark reddish-brown eyes. The sun set made her looked so brilliant looking almost like an angel in the background.
He noticed Yuuki waving at him and slightly narrowed his eyes, suspiciously and grinning at him.
'Why do I have the feeling that this girl set-up everything?'
Hinata felt Kain's eyes on her and blushed ten shades. She looked down trying hard not to look at him directly. Kain wore the same clothes he was wearing when Yuuki asked him to come along and just added a jet-black colored coat. For the first time Hinata felt like playing the ground with her foot. How could this person make her feel things she never felt before? He is a noble vampire too! Just seeing him or even just standing beside him makes it hard to act...normal.
"Well, shall we go?" Yuuki said grabbing Hinata's arm and lead the way.
As they walked down town Zero and Kain walked behind the girls quietly leading the way. Yuuki have her arms around Hinata's arm while talking with each other but more like whispering and Kain could care less on what ever they are talking about. However, he wondered along the way if those two would stay that way until everything is over.
~it would be great if that girl's arms is around yours~ His other self said, echoing in his mind. Kain frowned, feeling really irritated. 'Shut up!'
As much as he want to watch over Hinata peacefully and make sure that she is safe, even though the boy prefect is around, he has to finish a small mission. But how? Should he tell them? Sure the three of them know they exist so why hide it? He looked over Hinata and sighed inwardly. He doesn't want to worry her. She doesn't need to concern herself with those things, she should enjoy this afternoon before they head back.
Kain glanced at the boy prefect beside him. He could trust Zero to look after the two while he do his job but...
Kain glanced again at the prefect and almost groan to himself. Zero kept his eyes on the two like a hawk and ever since they left the school grounds he's been like that. Not even once getting distracted. Yeah, Zero will watch over Yuuki and...her while he go somewhere in the dark corners of the town disposing level E vampires.
At least someone can watch over her while he does his "temporary" job. They are just level E's and they are easy to dispose of and whether he tells Zero where he is going it doesn't concern him.
Kain stopped on his tracks as he made up his mind. Just in time to see Hinata look back at him. When she looked at him he almost forgot what he is suppose to do. Kain close his eyes quickly and then opened them. Shaking off the distraction.
"I'm sorry but...please go ahead of me. I have some matters to take care of." Kain said, earning a look from Zero. Zero didn't say anything and just stare with a blank face.
"Kain-sempai, you're not going to join us later?" Yuuki asked. Hinata looked at him with a glum face which she failed to hide.
Kain shook his head once. "It wont take long. I'll be done soon." With a small bow, he turned and left, avoiding eye contact with a certain person in front of him.
Hinata watched Kain leaved feeling anxious. Just awhile ago she finally noticed that not only she brought the only things she needed but also the chocolate she made just for him. Her grip on the bag strap thightened with desperation as she watched him disappear around the corner. She wasn't expecting Kain to be joining the trip. She couldn't really assume Yuuki for setting up the whole trip since the chairman wanted them to buy something after all. Whatever that is. With Kain in the background.
Yuuki had been clinging to her thightly after leaving the school grounds and was telling her that she now have another opportunity and its her chance. It just so happened that Kaname ordered Kain to do something. The girl was excited and also mentioned about distracting Zero while she talk to Kain-sempai. As if that is simple. Zero has an eye like a hawk and she is afraid that Zero will not hesitate to draw his gun against Kain's throat if he finds anything suspicious.
Hinata was about to say something when she saw the library just behind them. "Yuuki, can we go over there? There is a book I want to check out."
Yuuki looked over and nodded. "Okay." She said while dragging Zero with her by the arm. "Oi!' Hinata giggled at them.
…...
Ten minutes later...
'Just two level E's...Akatsuki...just two and then hurry up and catch up with them...'
Akatsuki looked around trying to sense any mysterious presence within the area. The temperature seemed to drop a few degrees before continuing walking down the narrow road. After three turns around the corners he could finally sense them. Hiding. Akatsuki took note that he has to hide his presence too. The task wasn't that hard. 'Those creatures think that they could hide from me?' Kain narrowed his eyes, his eyes slightly turning crimson red as the area slowly become darker and darker. The sun has finally set.
…...
Hinata went to the cooking/baking/pastry section while Yuuki and Zero went to the math section since Yuuki thought about improving her math skills. It didn't take long for Hinata to find what she was looking for. With a quick glance over the baking books she took out a chocolate cake recipe book.
Scanning over some pages she found the one she was looking for and started reading. 'I wonder,Yuuki mentioned about some vampires eating a lot of sweet things to help themselves sometimes when the blood tablets don't work,if...Kain-sempai does it too. Maybe those blood tablets taste bad.'
Hinata turned to another page which caught her interest.
'There are still many things I do not know about vampires. Even though Kain-sempai told me about them its not like he already told me everthing. Kain-sempai was...just being kind to me.'
"Hinata-chan?"
Hinata look over. "Yuuki?"
"Hinata is it alright if you stay here for awhile. Zero and I will just get something to drink." She said. Hinata nodded. "Oh, o.k."
"Hinata, what would you like to drink?" Hinata thought for a moment then shook her head. "Nah-I don't feel like drinking anything yet. You guys go ahead."
"Oh o.k. Just wait here o.k.?" With a wave she left.
Hinata smiled then return to her reading. 'I wonder what Kain-sempai is doing right now...'
…...
"GHAAAAaargh!" the level E drop to the ground and turned into ashes instantly. Kain stood a few distance away watching as he finish him off. He scowled when the last one escaped when it got the chance. Kain followed him getting angry by the minute. He should have dealt with them both at the same time than finishing them off one by one. The last one has the talent to run for its life and now he has to follow his scent. He hated their scent.
…...
Hinata left the cooking section and decided to check out the literature section. As she scanned the myth books she found what she was looking for. A book that is a combination of myths and facts. 'I've known some vampire stories but reading the others might help me understand...him-wah! I mean them. And then maybe...I could ask him...too.'
With that Hinata read some of the stories in the book which is really short and written in summary. Then turned several pages concerning on facts. 'Interesting...this book have facts right after the myth stories. But...who would actually...write this?'
Hinata turned the book around while keeping a thumb on the page she wanted to read and looked into the authors name. Hinata was surprise to find a missing page where the author's name is suppose to be. She turned the book cover and didn't see the author's name either. Hinata raised a curious eyebrow as she investigate the book a little more and noticed the color of the pages and the material used to make its cover.
'What is this book? Not only does it has a missing page it looks like its been written a long time ago. I didn't notice it at first. The pages are preserved quite good! But on the its thin sides shows the opposite with it's light yellowish brown color. And...gothic writings...'
With growing curiosity Hinata opened to the page she was holding and read. With a low voice tone she read the passage that caught her interest.
"A real vampire can never go on without blood...that is their nature. During the day they are just like the rest with flawless characters, however, they are in their true form in the dark nights of the city."
Hinata's eyes widen when she remembered meeting Kain back when he saved her, in the clinic and then meeting him again in the sun dorm kitchen. Also,..yesterday.
'Kain-sempai...when I met him back in the clinic he was just like the rest. Calm, gentle, caring,...well, I'm sure he is intelligent and probably a genius too! But...he is incredibly flawless... in everthing he do and say. If I didn't know vampires exist I would probably just think he is just the same with the rest of us only that he is greater.' Hinata looked at the book again but couldn't read the page. 'Back in the sun dorm kitchen, I didn't notice it before because...I was trying to distract myself with cooking that I actually forgot he looked different. He was...sexual.' With the last word, Hinata blushed so hard that she almost dropped the book. 'wah!Hinata what are you thinking? Thinking like that about...Kain-sempai!'
With her other hand she covered her mouth before she could scream with embarrassement while holding the book with the other. 'Where did that word...come from? Baka! Hinata... you are becoming more twitterpatted the more you think abou Kain-sempai!' (note: Twitterpatted is a word that I have adopted from a disney cartoon "bambi" which means getting all lovey-dovey with someone, falling in love, having a crush, or (for animals) its the feeling you get when you found your soul mate.)
'...but...'
THUMP~
Suddenly, Hinata felt her heart thump against her chest, feeling the impact with her body that she froze with realization.
~you like him~ Her heart echoed.
While everyone is busy doing whatever they are doing a suspicious person came in the town library with human speed with no one noticing. The camera might not help for its identification. It hid behind the shelves not really heading anywhere as it slowed it phase.
Hinata shook her head quickly and continued to read in a whisper. "Vampires would always need blood to calm themselves. Drinking their prey's blood may not be enough."
'So that's why Kain-sempai said that even though they are here there are still many out there hunting humans for their blood.'
Hinata didn't notice that someone was approaching her from behind as she continued.
"Most of them are insane, lustful, and sexual." She read remembering the level E that attacked her. Shiver ran down her spine making her shake slightly. "There are few ways to stop them..." Hinata read, reading the list of things that might stop a vampire. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she read the last one which is written with an asteris.
"...Drinking the blood of someone they love."
'Nani...kore...'
Hinata stared at it but felt someone behind her. She suddenly shiver feeling her legs turned jelly. She froze as a shadow loomed over her. She could feel the person behind her breathing heavily and whatever is it's intension its not going to be good. She felt the temperature drop ever so slightly but she was sure its not the room. She gulped and slowly closed the book forgeting her curiosity over vampires as she divert her attention to the suspicious person behind her.
This person is not even saying anything! Just standing there. Staring at her...hungrily. Hinata closed her eyes and then open them. Putting her fear aside she turned around and came face to face with a man who wore dark clothes with a undo neck time around its neck, long wavy, unkempt, hair...and...with glowing, crimson-red, eyes.
Hinata without thinking ran away as fast as she could, dropping the book, and ran towards the back door. There was less than ten people in the library so no one really notice two people running towards the back door, one can not be considered humanly.
Hinata ran as fast as could towards any direction her feet would take her. Despite her increased speed the level E vampire was gaining on her. Oh yeah! She almost forgot she is wearing heeled sandals!
Hinata half groaned and half screamed in panic as she ran towards the dark ally. But she doesn't care. Running away from the level E was the only thing she could think and it might not even be the greatest idea. The level E laughed and smiled from ear to ear, horrorly, and raised his sharp claws ready to attack her fully.
"Your blood! Give me blood!" he said, hungrily.
Hinata turned to a corner sharply and screamed, terrified, when the level E hit the wall just across with a huge impact. He may be fast but he doesn't seem to have much control over his abilities.
'Please go away!' Hinata's mind screamed. She could feel her legs turnining to jell and failing her, slowing her down, making her feel giving up. Hinata opened her eyes and felt like crying any moment. Its already dark and there is no light to help her find her way.
"You can't run away!" The level E yelled while laughing hystericaly and jump against the wall, on its web. Hinata didn't notice the huge rock in front of her and tripped hitting the rough gound really hard.
"Ettai~" she winced. Her fresh cuts on her right arm and left leg opened widely enough letting out her sweet, tempting, and fresh blood. Dripping none stop and staining her white dress.
The level E stop and sniffed the air, grinning. "I love it...I love it! Just what I need before that bastard comes!"
"Nani..." Hinata glanced at him at the corner of her eyes, breathing hard. She winced again her wounds really hurt like hell.
The level E move to get near her but maintained his position on the wall, watching her with those hungry eyes. "I didn't hunt to get your aproval. You will just do!" With that he jumped and attacked her.
…...
Akatsuki frowned as he followed the level E's scent-trail. Of all the things he should be doing he is out in town hunting level E's. He noticed he was back in the place where he last saw the three and entered the town library. He had to admit the level E can really find a good hiding place but not good enough.
He looked around relieved that very few decided to visit the library today. He walked towards the shelves when he smelled something familiar.
'Hinata!...' His mind screamed, his heart started to beat fast as his mind started to show horrifying scenes of what could happen to her. He followed the scent and was even horrified to find the level E's scent mixed with hers. 'Damn! She must have ran out here! And where is Zero and Yuuki? Why aren't they around?' His mind screamed as he ran out from the back door.
Akatsuki's eyes turned crimson red and ran down the dark ally with incredible speed. Any human would fail to notice him and if they did by chance and luck he doesn't care.
After a few turns he jumped over the debris that was in the way and froze suddenly at the scene in front of him. The level E tackled Hinata to the ground and sank his fangs on her bare neck. Hinata struggled to get free, kicking and hitting the man with all her strength but to no avail.
Akatsuki have never felt so angry in his whole entire life. He could feel his fangs elongated and his eyes glowed brighter than before. His breathing increased as he watch Hinata's body went limp. How could this happen. Just when he thought he was doing the right thing to keep Hinata away from harm here she is in the hands of a vampire.
The level E sensed the noble's presence, gave him a glaced and grinned against Hinata's bloody neck.
With a growl, Akatsuki attacked angrily by swiftly moving his hand in a cutting motion as massive fire explode from the ground moving directly towards the level E. The level E didn't have time to evade the attack, dropping Hinata to the ground in attempt to escape, as the fire surrounded his whole body turning him into ashes instantly.
Hinata felt really weak even though the vampire didn't take too much from her. Her instinct still tells her to move and ran away as far as she could. She struggled on her feet, felt herself wobble as she stood and started running again ignoring her savior. With a hand on her bloody neck, she failed to notice Akatsuki.
Akatsuki eyes and long fangs returned to normal too soon when he saw Hinata run away. "Hinata!"
…...
Zero and Yuuki walked around town looking for Hinata. When they returned to the library they didn't find her and was hoping that she would call yet she didn't. The worse thing is that Zero couldn't detect her scent and they have no clues where to find her.
"Zero, maybe we should go back to the school and tell the chairman." Yuuki said, yanking the frustrated prefect by his black sleeve, worry consume her since they found her missing.
Zero looked around for the last time before giving up. "Damn it." He muttered guiding Yuuki.
"We should be meeting Kain-sempai by now." Yuuki said looking around hoping to find the noble vampire.
"He is not our concern at the moment!" Zero almost yelled. "Where the hell is he?"
They both started to run towards the academy as the city lights where turn on.
…...
"Hinata!" Akatsuki chased Hinata down the dark ally. He has to get to her or else he might lose her...again. With ease he quickly sprinted his way towards her and grabbed her by the arm.
"Hinata! Stop running! Its o.k.!" He said feeling exasperated but didn't show it. Hinata had her eyes close and struggled under his hold.
"L-let go of me!"
"W-wait, Hinata! Calm down!" Akatsuki struggled as well and grabbed her other wrist that was holding her small bag. "Please! Stop it!" She screamed.
"I will stop if-wait! Hinata!" He grunted and almost stared when tears started to stream down her cheeks.
'Hinata...can't you see me...?' He felt his heart plead.
Akatsuki almost grunted loudly in pain when Hinata stepped on his foot loosing his grip on her wrist slightly but not enough for her to escape. He has to stop her before it gets even worst. Akatsuki frowned at what he is about to do.
"Hinata! Stop! Right now!" He raised his voice enough for her to hear in a commanding tone, thightening his grip on her wrist reflesively. Hinata gasped and finally opened her eyes only to let more tears run down. She stared at him with wide eyes which is filled with confusion, fear, and pain.
Akatsuki immediately soften his expression not wanting her to think that he was mad.
He doesn't have to yell at her but he also didn't want to resolve at the last option he have. Which is to make her sleep using his powers. All noble vampire has it.
Hinata stared at him with teary eyes, hiccuping and crying silently. Akatsuki loosed his grip on her wrists and stared back as well not knowing what to do next. He did know what to do when Ruka cried to him but... now that this girl is crying as well he cant believe he couldn't come up with anything.
'Hinata...what am I...going to do? Please tell...me...'
Akatsuki blinked twice when Hinata tried to talk at the same time trying to keep his expression calm.
"K-kain...Kain-s-sem...pai..." she sniffed a little and hiccuped. More tears streamed down her cheeks making her eyes red and swollen.
"Shhh..." he hushed her, letting one wrist go and placed a hand on her wet cheek.
"Its o.k...its alright now. He is gone." He said, comfortingly. Just holding her was killing him. The world always have rules and he wants to break some of them. His heart was still beating so fast. He just can not seem to hold himself anymore with this feelings growing inside of him. He admited to himself that he adore her but he didn't expect that those feelings would grow so much that it turned to...love.
He was fine hiding it from everyone else but he failed to hide it for himself. He couldn't believe it but after he saw another one of those bastard-vermin sank their fangs on her he just couldn't take it. That was the first time he gathered most of his powers and threw it without hesitations. He felt like he claim her and that no one else should. He could have control his emotions and go after the vampire but he went overboard.
Akatsuki stop caressing her soft cheek but didn't let go. His eyes soften at her and gave her a small smile. To think that this small, fragile human is not aware of what she had done. Akatsuki thought that after giving up Ruka he didn't expect to fall in love again for he doesn't want to get hurt but no. He found himself again...in love. Only this time its a unique being.
"D-demo..." She said, barely in a whisper.
Before Hinata could continue she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace. Hinata gasp feeling really surprise and shock at the same time. Akatsuki placed a hand behind the crook of her back and one on her head while resting his head on her right shoulder. Hinata blinked twice not sure what was really happening. IS this real? Akatsuki is hugging her? All her fear suddenly disappeared out of her system and the only thing that she could see is...Akatsuki.
"K-kain-sempai..."
"Shhh..." He hushed her again. He slowly yet softly nuzzled his face agaisnt her neck making her shiver in the process but hold her still and tightly to him and took in her scent.
Hinata blushed when it came to her that Akatsuki was really hugging her in a way no one should unless he is...
No. Hinata shook her head mentally and placed a hand on his chest pushing slightly and tried to find her voice. "K-Kain-"
"Don't call me that!" Kain interupted her causing her to stop whatever she is doing since she felt him say it against her neck. Kain maintained his hold and nuzzled on her neck. Instead of pushing him Hinata gripped his coat trying hard to control the emotions growing in her heart. 'Oh no...no...'
Ruka was the first person he loved. She did call him by his name but it has always been a friendly call. After all she never did returned his feelings. Calling him by his name was pointless.
Now, that he is used to her it didn't matter anymore. 'But...Hinata...'
His hand that was at the back of her head move downward placing it behind her still holding her tightly to him and against him. Hinata, without thinking, moaned. She blushed hard when she heard himself. She moaned like a girl who is about to have sex with the man she loved. Akatsuki was doing things to her making her feel so...wanted. Despite her inexperience with boys her hands move away from his chest and slide behind his back. Akatsuki felt her hands behind him and heat-of-pleasure began to grow within him. He felt it the moment he touched her. The moment he had taken hold of her. This was for real.
He finally realized that he wasn't himself after giving up Ruka but right now... he is back. And this time...with Hinata.
To be continued.
