Recently on Blood of a Rose:
"Oh, that's good!" She then noticed something. "Is your cut still not healed yet?" My hand shot up to my neck where the bandage lay. Aidou tensed and everyone sent me looks of surprised. Yes, I committed a sin. Got a problem with that!? Honestly... "Here, let me see. Did you put the right ointment on it?" I panicked and took a step back only to trip, Yuuki grabbing the bandage and ripping it off. I landed on the ground with a thud.
"Ow!"
"It's gone!" Yuuki gave me a skeptical look. "Did you even get cut!?" MY hand flew up to her face,
"Yes! See! Scar and everything!"
"You're off the hook for now..." SHe told me, narrowing her wine-red eyes. I gave her a thumbs up as she stalked off. When she was gone I let out a huge sigh of relief and plopped back onto the ground on my back.
"Close one...Thank gods it vanished."
"You were bitten." Shiki stated.
"By whom?" Rima asked.
"I wonder..." Ruka muttered, staring at me.
"Hanabusa." Kain said, looking at Aidou. Aidou threw his hands in the air.
"What!? Don't look at me like that Akatsuki! It wasn't me!" Ha, liar.
"Just a cut from glass. Nothing of it." I lied and got up, running off.
"He summoned me, so early in the morning...for this?" Zero sounded pissed. Yuuki took a bite of her food and commented,
"Yeah. Calling it his own is a bit much."
"That isn't what I meant- and what are you trying to do?" Zero asked me. I was currently stabbing my food with chopsticks- not really knowing how to use them. Yuuki commented,
"Yeah. I've seen you do that a lot during lunch, Amaya-Chan." I sweatdropped and held up a piece of tuna I managed to stab-I mean pick up. I never got the handle of chopsticks. "Do you not know how to eat with them?"
"Not...really."
"Here. Like this." Next thing I knew, pale hands grabbed my dark ones and put them in the correct position. My face heated up slightly as Zero attempted to teach me how to use chopsticks.
"Cheese!" We looked up alarmed at Chairman's voice and saw a flash. Wait! What!?
"What's wrong with you today!?" Zero demanded, dropping my hand and chopsticks.
"Taking a commemorative photo." Chairman smiled, holding up the camera as a picture came out. "Today, you carry out your duty not as guardians, but as a full fledged member of the Disciplinary Committee!"He held up the photo. "It's a day to remember."
"Huh?" Was our oh-so intelligent responses.
X.X
"Confiscated." I said, ripping te Shiki book away from her. The blonde cried out.
"No! You can't!"
"I can. Confiscated."
"Demon!"
"Confiscated!"
"Nooooo!" I entered the hallway just to see Zero say "Confiscated" and toss the Class President's Ruka collection in the cart. Yuuki walked away whispering,
"You heard him..."
X.X
Yuuki went through Amaya's room, searching for any and all things she wasn't supposed to have. She checked the closets, under the bed, heck, even under the pillows. But when she tripped over a book she found a bucket filled with blankets and sheets being soaked with bleach.
Yuuki knelt down and lifted the blankets and sheets up, seeing red. She furrowed her eyebrows and her eyes narrowed in worry. "Is this...blood?" She then checked the trashcan- you never know- and found the neck bandages. She picked one up and her eyes widened. "Was Amaya-Chan...bitten by a- a Vampire!?"
SHe'd have to talk to her friend later. Who knows what other secrets she could be keeping. She then thought of something.
"What if...she's protecting the Vampire?" Amaya wouldn't! Unless...Well, Yuuki liked Kaname and would probably do the same thing to protect him. But who would Amaya try to protect?
X.X
"We've never been inside the Moon Dorms before." Yuuki commented. I blinked and let out a yawn. I was tired and didn't understand the strange looks Yuuki kept giving me. "Are you nervous?"
"Nope." I answered for both me and Zero. Yuuki and Zero were a bit slow so I just went ahead and continued to walk. I bust the doors open dramatically. "Okay everyone, get your butts in gear and put yourselves in the living room! Alright! Coolio! Nice talking to ya too! Takuma, if your briefs are on the floor I'm gonna punch ya! Cause I ain't pickin' them up!" I then remembered something. "Oh yeah! And I may steal some of your manga as well!"
"What!?" Came Takuma's shocked voice. I grinned and walked by him. Shiki came in and asked groggily,
"Do you have to be so loud?"
I grinned. "Yup! Now...where's Ruka's and Rima's rooms? I'd rather have to deal with guys at the end." Shiki's eyes flashed red for a few moments before returning back to their blue and replied,
"Down the hall on the left, take a right. That's Ruka's. Rima's is this way." He then began to lazily lead me to Rima's room.
Clean. Not. A. Speck. Of. Dust.
"Wow..." I muttered, green eyes wide. "How the heck is this possible! It's so...clean!" Yes, I couldn't find a better word. Shiki chuckled lightly before pointing n another direction lazily.
"Akatsuki's, Takuma's, Aidou's, Seririn's, Kaname-Sama's, and my room is this way. Ruka's is next door. Come get me when you need to find the rooms." He walked off.
And I did exactly that. SO far, all the rooms except for Takuma's was clean. Takuma just had a pair of brief's on the ground he hasn't picked up.
Note to self: Punch Takuma later.
Now, when I started to smell Lavender, I was more the compelled to walk towards the source of it. Which came from a room. Specifically Aidou's. Now, his room looked as though it was freshly cleaned- probably due to Akatsuki and Kaname making everyone clean up the junk he had in there. I laughed at that thought. I inhaled deeply and exhaled, smiling, eyes closed.
"Like it?" A voice asked, amused. I screamed and whirled around- ready to attack- only to stumbled and nearly fall. Aidou quickly caught my and placed his hands on my waist. "You okay?"
"Y-Yeah. F-Fine." My face burned and I ignored the smirk that was growing on his face. It was then that I noticed something. "Wait..hold-hold on." I boldly stood on my toes and leaned towards his face, inhaling. My eyes opened in surprise. "You smell like Lavender." Okay..then.
Aidou raised a brow. "Yeah. Got a problem with that?" He asked, faking hurt.
"No. I love Lavender." I quickly clamped a hand over my mouth. Crap. I basically said I loved how Aidou smelled. Could this be anymore embarrassing!? Aidou grinned and hugged me, spinning me around in a circle.
"I'll just have to bring you here more often then!"
"Whooooooaaaaa!" I screamed, dizzy from being twirled. Not long after, I was sitting on his bed and he bit my hand, drinking some of my blood. He stopped and I blinked confused. "Aidou?" He smiled lightly and slowly moved his mouth from my palm to my wrist. He licked it and I flinched slightly as he bit down. I relaxed quickly though and closed my eyes.
"I'm beginning to think that you like being bitten." Aidou commented as he licked the bitemarks, healing it slightly. I opened my eyes and stared at him surprised. I grinned nad shrugged.
"Oh, yeah, totally. I'm not, you know, getting use to the feel of fangs piercing through my skin at all!" Aidou rolled his eyes.
"I got it."
X.X
"Ow! Damn it!" I cursed as I was nicked my the window again and flinched as it shattered into even more pieces- one cutting my cheek. I was attempting to fix my window and was failing miserably. I was decked out in my black tanktop and blue jeans. "Fine! I'll just get a new window!" I yelled at it and left to find a bathroom- seeing how I was one of the unlucky few who didn't get one. SOrry, Yuuki, but your doing patrol alone tonight.
As I walked down the huge flight of wodden stairs, I felt as though I was forgetting something important. And my theory was proved correct when I felt myself get slammed against a wall and something wet and warm made traveled up my neck. I shivered, remembering this feeling- only this one was different- and saw a flash of silver hair and red eyes.
"Zero!" I gasped and flinched as he bit down on my neck, drinking my blood. Well...this is great. Joy. Why don't the Night class come over and enjoy my blood as well? Cause that's all I seem to be good for! Hello everyone! Amaya Chouko's Blood Donation is here! Only 1.99 per pound of blood you drink! Pfft! Not! "Ow! That...hurts..." I whimpered as he dug his fangs dug deeper into my neck. He continued ot drink and I began to feel dizzy. Zero...stop. Please! My site began to go black and that was when I heard-
"Zero!" Yuuki stood there frozen for a few minutes. She saw what was going on and wasn't stupid. She knew what was happening. My blood dripped from my neck and stained my clothes. I shivered from the feel of the warm liquid against my skin. She quickly ran over and pulled Zero off of me! Normally, I would be grateful but... Yuuki! You nearly ripped my throat out!
Zero's eyes continued to glow red as he licked the blood from his lips. When he saw us his eyes widened and returned to their purple color. "Amaya! I-I'm sorry." He turned his head as I leaned against Yuuki, hand on my neck, trying to stop my blood from flowing out. The ground was filled with it.
"Zero's...Zero's a Vampire!?" Yuuki exclaimed, eyes wide. Kaname then decided to make an appearance.
"Amaya I'm-I'm so sorry." He took a step forward and out of instinct, Yuuki stepped back, taking me with her.
"Yuuki. Amaya." Kaname said, walking up the stairs.
"Is- Is that you Kaname?" Yuuki asked.
"You have been reduced to a Blood thirsty beast, Zero Kiryuu." Kaname continued and stepped in front of Yuuki and I. I panicked and ran in front of Zero.
"No! Leave him alone-ugh!" I fell backwards, dizzy. Zero quickly caught me.
"Amaya!"
"You devoured her mercilessly." Kaname said. "Didn't you Zero? So much, that she can't even stand up." He quickly bent down and picked me up, bridal-style.
"I could...if you'd set me down!" I muttered groggily.
"How was Amaya's blood?" Kaname continued. "Was it delicious?" I couldn't help it. I blacked out at that.
X.X Inteh infirmary after I woke.
"The bleeding seems to have stopped." Kaname observed, running his fingers across teh bite mark. "He bit into you rather deeply. Does it hurt?" He then looked at Yuuki after I shook my head. "Are you afraid of Vampires now?" I snorted. Course she isn't.
"Kaname." Chairman said, entering. "You should probably be heading back to class. The smell of blood, seems to have gotten the Night class in quite a stir." Kaname stood up.
"Yes. Of course." The Chair man walked over and knelt down. I let him put the bandage on my neck, seeing how I needed a mirror to do so myself.
"Amaya, Yuuki. I took Zero to his dorm room and got him settled in. He seems to have calmed down a bit." He explained as Kaname left. He stood up. "Amaya, if you don't mind. I need to talk to Yuuki. I'm sure Kaname already explained this to you." I nodded slightly and flinched. I placed a ahand on my neck.
"Damn...even Aidou doesn't bite that deep." I muttered quietly so they wouldn't hear. I stood up and walked out of the room, pausing at the door. "I'll be in my dorm.
NIGHT CLASS DORM
Aidou tipped over his glass with the blood in it, turning some of it to ice. The scent of blood wafted through the air- a extremely familiar scent- and there was a lot of it. Aidou felt slightly pissed off at this smell and how much of it there was. He figured there was a lot of blood loss. "The strong smell of blood earlier-" He began. "-what was the cause of it? We weren't even given an explanation for it. At all." Kain walked by, shirtless with a towel around his neck, and yawned.
"To be honest, I don't care." He told him. "But you realize that if you keep drinking her blood, the tablets won't work anymore." Aidou scoffed.
"They already stopped, Akatsuki." Kain looked at him with wide red-eyes. His orange hair dripping slightly. "They stopped working a week ago. The day when she appeared." Kain blinked.
"Amaya Chouko?"
"Yeah." He tilted the rest of the cup over and turned the blood to ice angrily and narrowed his eyes saying, "And the blood...That was the smell of Amaya's blood."
"And you would know that because you keep drinking her blood, right?"
"I knew who it was before I even drank it." He said, frowning a little. He had a feeling of what this meant. And he didn't know how he should feel.
Kain looked at him out of the corner of his eyes and smirked. "You realize what this means, right?" Aidou turned the glass to ice and cut his finger- bleeding. He brought his index finger to his mouth and licked hte blood.
He stayed like that for a moment before smiling and said, "Yeah."
Back with me!
"I was just noticing, Amaya-" My head snapped over and I began to pay attention at that. Yori continued. "-You look a little pale yourself. And you have another bandage on your neck. I've been worried about you."
"Huh!? Oh that, got cut trying to fix my damn window. Stupid thing wants to stay broken!" Yuuki nodded quickly.
"Yup! That it does! Hahaha..."
"Well, that's good." I looked around as the Teacher came in, looking for Zero. If I have to do this part..I'm gonna break something. Specifically my window. It's been 10 minutes since class started now. Yuuki shot up out of her seat, starling me and ran out of the room. I quickly followed.
"Yuuki Cross-san! Amaya Chouko-san!" The teacher yelled. I ignored him and slammed the door shut. We soon made our way to the Moon Drms and passed the old man. I quickly opened the Dorm door to see Aidou sitting in a chair across from a fat guy and a scrawny guy. Aidou had his arm stretched out, gesturing to the door.
"Amaya! Yuuki-Chan!" Aidou exclaimed. I sweatdropped. Why'd he say Yuuki's name with honorifics and not mine? And why was my name first?
"Idol-I-I mean hello Aidou." Yuuki greeted. I waved, grinning.
"What's up?" Aidou almost immediately pulled the guys out of their chairs with his super Vampire strength and began to push them out of the room.
"It's time for you guys to leave!" They screamed as they were pushed out the door. Aidou quickly closed it. He rubbed his eyes yawning. "It's so bright and now I'm tired and cranky! And it's their fault!"
"Sorry to barge in like this." Yuuki apologized, tilting her head slightly. Aidou blinked and looked at me for a split second before stretching and yawning again.
"I'm not annoyed with you two, just them." He said. He then gained a cute confused look-hold on! Slow down there for a sec! Cute!? Okay, no. No, no, no! No bad thoughts! "But why are you here? Everyone else is still asleep." He then gained a knowing look and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "Ah! I know! You brought Amaya here because she wanted me to drink her blood again!"
"No!" I exclaimed, face burning at the closeness. "I just-she just wanted to talk with Kaname! I only came because I was bored!" Aidou pouted and I didn't notice his face anger slightly and pull the bandage off my neck, revealing Zero's bite marks. Aidou sighed and unwrapped his arm, standing up and walking off.
"Oh well...Follow me." We did so.
"So then, you're going to take me to him?" Yuuki asked. I sent her a surprised look.
"WHat about me?" Yuuki blushed as we stopped. Aidou stood on the stairs and listened curiously.
"Well, the other bite mark came f-from Aidou, r-right?" She asked. I looked at her surprised. How'd she know that!? Wait...the bandages, the bucket- oh friggin' course! "Well, I-I thought you were pro-protecting him for a reason and would-would want to be alone with him." My face was probably enough to make even Shiki, Kaname, Rima, and Ruka laugh. I couldn't even speak.
"You, Yuuki, are the only one that Kaname-sama actually likes." Aidou began. "The rest of us is just following his lead. Now, Amaya," He sent me a look, narrowing his eyes, "-Who's bite marks are those?" My hand shot up to my neck in alarm. Shit! Sneaky Bastard! "Because I know for a fact they aren't mine." Aidou smirked and held up the bandage in triumph, waving it back and forth. He then leaned against the rail. "Last night, out of the blue, the smell of blood drifted into the classroom. It shocked all of us, but only I knew who's it was. Amaya. And there was a lot of it. Kaname-Sama told us all to ignore it. Which we did and the excitement died down." His ice-blue gaze wouldn't leave my Emerald Green. I was trapped. I couldn't move.
"That's what Kaname said!?" Yuuki exclaimed. She look to the side and blushed, smiling. "I didn't realize..." The candles suddenly went out after I look to the side, thinking. My head shot up- as did Yuuki's- and we looked at Aidou.
"Do you know how annoying this is!?" He growled, grabbing on to the rail angrily, turning it to ice. "Yuuki...just what are to Kaname-Sama!" He the glared at me. "And who the hell bit you!?" Ice traveled down the rail onto the stairs and towards us. Yuuki froze and I took a few startled step backs, but my feet were frozen to the ground as well. Aidou began to walked down the stairs and at the last few, jumped and landed right in front of me. I tried to step back, but couldn't. My feet and legs were literally frozen to the ground. "C'mon Amaya, tell me. Who bit you? And Yuuki, Kaname-sama likes you, but why?" It was my turn to speak.
"Yuuki don't! You'll only make the situation worse!" She looked at me surprised but remained glaring. Aidou huffed but didn't say anything until he turned to me again. He grabbed my arm and turned it to ice- holy shit that's cold!- and leaned in close, making my face burn and heart speed up.
"You seem to know what she was going to say...now, Amaya. Tell me, now. Who bit you?" I glared at him.
"Why are you so insistent to know who bit me!?" He leaned down and placed his lips near the bite mark and whispered quietly.
"Because one day...my lips will grace your neck, and when you feel my fangs gently pierce through your flesh and you hear the sound of me drinking your blood finds it's way into your ears...You will find yourself trembling with ecstasy." My face burned so badly at that, I couldn't help but shiver when he licked my neck and bit down gently with his fangs, some blood leaking out. He quickly lapped that up and licked the wound. I snapped, red, and slapped his arm with my free hand. He smirked, standing up straight. Yuuki was just standing there, watching the scene with wide eyes. Poor Yuuki. Poor-Poor Yuuki. "What? Did I embarrass you? Butterfly Child." I winced at the nickname and he quickly leaned down again and bit down on the bite mark, drinking my blood. Not a lot, but enough to make me feel slightly dizzy.
"Aidou! Stop it!" Yuuki shouted, regaining her voice. "Stop it!"
"It's fine...Yuuki." I muttered quietly, head resting tiredly on Aidou's shoulder. "I'm...used to it."
"You...let him bite you!?" Yuuki exclaimed, eyes wide. "W-Why!?"
"Honestly?" I asked her, dizziness going away slightly. "I have no idea." Aidou chuckled at that.
"Now tell me, who the hell bit you!?"
SMACK
The ice on Yuuki and I melted and Aidou now had a red mark on his face. My eyes widened.
"Aidou!"
"Did someone ask you to do this?" Kaname asked. Aidou quickly keeled.
"No! I was out of line. I apologize. Will you please forgive me, Kaname-Sama."
"Leave."
"Yes." Aidou got up and started up the stairs. "But Take Amaya with you." Wait...what? Aidou had the same though strand.
"What-I mean, yes Kaname-Sama." He quickly walked back down the stairs and lifted me up, bridal-style, and carried me up the stairs. I leaned my head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
X.X
First things first...I woke up in my dorm. Next thing...I decided to randomly check up on Zero. When I saw him place a gun to his head and Panicked and tackled shouting, "What the hell dude!?" I attempted to knock the gun from his hand, but only ended up getting pushed onto the bed, him on top of me- grabbing my hand and placing it on the trigger, holding it up to his neck. My eyes widened.
"Shoot me. Before I turn into a level E." He demanded. "I want to die and I want you to kill me." Isn't he suppose to say this to Yuuki?" My eyes widened even further and I quickly shook my head. Zero pulled the gun down and moved his hand down to my neck, ripping off the bandage. I flinched. "You heard it too. I know you did. The sound of me drinking your blood! You can't pretend that everything's okay. Not after going through something as awful as that." He ran his fingers across the bite marks.
"Zero, listen-" I began but was cut off. The jerk! The emo jerk! How dare he!
"I know I can no longer control the part of me that wanted your blood." Zero continued. "I'm afraid that this is going to happen again and when it does, I'll end up killing that person!" He pulled the gun back up to his chin. "So shoot me! Admit it! You're afraid of me now, aren't you!?" Uh, no. I'm afraid of shooting you, dumbass.
"No. I'm not-I'm not going to shoot you." I gave him a long hard look. Zero gave me a look and let go, dropping hte gun, getting off of me, standing up and grabbing his bag, and walked out the room.
"Then leave me alone." He left. Leaving me to lay there, on his bed, thinking about how everything was happening. Yuuki was supposed to be bi my Aidou, Yuuki was supposed to be bit by Zero, Yuuki was supposed to be on this bed in my place...Aidou should've told those words- altered- to Yuuki... Wait...Zero! I shot up and ran to the direction he went. Out on the courtyard he was, walking towards the gate to town.
"Zero!" I shouted, running as fast as I could. When I made it to him I did the only thing I could think of when I was close enough. I hugged him. He stopped walking and stood there. "You damn idiot! I don't care if there's a "Next time"! I won't let you hurt anyone else!"
"Amaya."
I ignored him and continued, ranting. "I'll personally beat you up if you try to hurt anyone else! You're my friend and It's my job to make sure you don't do anything reckless! And that means hurting people and yourself! So shut up, stuff it in your mouth, and eat it! And if you don't, I'll beat you up! I don't care what people think! I will do it!"
