To Rain Blood
Author: Ambercat999
Hey guys so this story started out as a Zero/OC story but after writing out the plots for the next few chapters I changed my mind and decided to make it an Aidou/OC story instead. I hope that you all continue to read my story but if you don't I totally understand… WARNING: Will contain swearing.
Aidou was pacing in the main part of the dorm when Takara entered the moon dorm Saturday evening. She had been driving him crazy with all her secrets and he was determined to find out why she was at cross academy before he would let her leave. He stopped as soon as she walked through the door turning to face her and, walking with a purposeful stride, met her half way to the stairs.
"I want to know what you're doing here and I don't want any half-assed excuses like the ones you give Zero." He had heard the conversations Takara and Zero had had on the roof and in the barn when he had confronted her on her race and her purpose for being at cross academy and unlike the prefect he was hell bent on getting the truth out of her here and now. He wasn't as patient as Zero and was already at his breaking point.
She stood there for as second before finally responding. "Fine, but on one condition; I will only tell you why I'm here if you promise not to tell anyone, not even Kaname can know." He was shocked at her willingness to tell him he had figured that he would have to almost physically wrestle the truth out of her; then again her condition was not something to be taken lightly. He never went back on his promises once he made them and if he promised not to tell anyone then he would possibly be put in between a rock and a hard place. If Kaname found out that Takara had revealed her secrets to him and asked him to share them he would be put in a very difficult dissension. On one hand he would almost be his duty to the pureblood prince to tell him what he wanted to know, but then on the other hand he would be bound to the promise he made on not telling a soul. After a few more minutes of going back in forth in his head he finally made his decision.
"Fine," he said grudgingly, "I promise not to tell anyone, not even Kaname, about your purpose here." She smiled as if she had already known that he wouldn't turn her down and he wondered if maybe she had and that was why she was so calm when he confronted her, oh well, it was already too late to turn back.
"I am at cross academy because I am hiding from a man named Pyrrhus. He has been chasing me around the world for almost 10 years now. He wants to capture me and keep me in a cage because of my control over water among other things almost as if I were a collectable or prize. I am hiding here because Cross assured me that between his and Yagari's vampire hunter skills and all you vampire nobility it would be near impossible to find and capture me while I am attending here and while I hate to admit it I don't know how much longer I would have been able to run if I had continued without help, so I accepted his offer against my better judgment." Aidou was shocked at the information he had just received. He had been under the impression that she was being kept in the moon dorm because she had done something wrong by either the hunters association or vampire council's standards and needed to be watched. Instead she had simply been placed here because it was the safest place for her to be at the moment. At first he was a little upset and somewhat disappointed to learn that all she was there for was protection and he was unknowingly acting as one of her protectors but after a while he started to feel important. He had come to cross academy because his beloved pureblood prince was going but soon realized that Kaname held him in no special regards and thought of him as just another noble, one who he seemed to have a passion for striking (AN: I might be wrong but it almost seems as if Kaname loves to hit Aidou, I know that he screws up a lot but even when it's a really small thing he gets hit for it…). But with this girl, as antisocial and cruel as she seemed gave him a sort of purpose. Sure he didn't initially know that he was protecting her from danger but he still served as her knight in shining armor (he is conveniently forgetting that he isn't the only one who is protecting her because his ego wants to take full credit for her protection) and now that he knew what was going on he could perform his duty much better. On that note he decided to make a declaration.
"Don't worry Takara! I will do anything in my power to help keep you safe. Just say the word and I will immediately be by your side to protect you from danger!" Takara who had had an amused smile on her face as she watched him come to terms with what was happening right under his nose immediately grew grim upon hearing his oath to protect her. "Thanks but no thanks. As much as I appreciate it if you were to try and help protect me you'd only end up putting yourself in unnecessary danger." Aidou seemed flattered that she would be so concerned about his wellbeing (again his ego is talking). "Fear not Takara, nothing could stop me from protecting you from Pyrrhus. I am very happy that you would care so much about me but it is unneeded." At this Takara went from being grim to being extremely angry. She didn't understand why this boy couldn't get it through his thick head that she didn't want his help. Instead of continuing the argument she shoves him out of her way and storms up the stairs and to her room slamming the door shut behind her in case he had the idea to come after her.
Aidou, still left standing in the main section of the dorm somewhat stunned at what had just occurred, was left to ponder just how serious the situation was and if he really could protect her against her mysterious pursuer.
