X.X Am I human? X.X
Yuuki and I were walking to the Boys Dorm. WE felt like visiting Zero. I was decked out in my regular striped shirt, Vampire's rock jacket, black skirt and red nad striped stockings with boots. WHile Yuuki was wearing her usual black longsleeve shirt with a blue skirt and leggings.
"Where're you two going, Yuuki-san, Amaya-san?" A girl with black pigtails asked.
"Dorm President!" Yuuki exclaimed.
"I hope you both know that even on break we have rules and it's almost curfew." She explained. "Even if you are Disiplinary Members, you shouldn't head to the Boys Dorm so casually."
"Listen-" Yuuki began.
"We weren't-" The girl gained a surprised and shocked- slightly love-struck- look. I trailed off anf turned around.
"Hanabusa!" The girl glared at me.
"Don't use his name like you're so friendly!" She growled. "There's no way you two are so close!" I flinched. Aidou screamed from shock and turned around. Yuuki quickly ran up to him and whispered,
"You can try to sneak in during break, there's hardly anyone here. But this is the boys dorm, what do you want?"
"I don't care what you say or how this looks! I'm not here to Zero-Oh!" He cut himself off and screamed. I walked over, laughing. I patted him on the shoulder.
"You should really work on your lying skills Hanabusa-!" I screamed as the girl pushed me to the ground so she could talk to Aidou. I flinched as I landed, scraping my knees and hands. Ow...Bitch.
"Idol-I mean AIdou! What are you doing here!? The Sun and Moon Dorm are set up so students can't go inbetween them!" He clapped his hands together and said,
"Sorry. I ran away from my Dorm."
"YOu what!?" Yuuki exclaimed.
"And I would appreciate it if you didn't toss my Girlfriend around like a piece of trash." He gave her a hard look and I blinked in surprise. The girl squeaked and backed up a little.
"I'm-I'm sorry!" She bowed. Aidou then walked over and grabbed me by the wrist, pulling me up. I let out a yelp as I crashed into his chest. He wrapped one of his arms around my waist and brought one of his fingers up to his lips. He winked at the girl.
"Just pretend you didn't see me." The girl blushed- love struck once again.
"Okay! But if I were the Disciplinary Committee, I would punish you!" How? By strapping him to a chair and molesting him? Crazy fan-girls.
Aidou chuckled. "Okay then." And tightened his grip around me. The girl walked off. And the second she walked disappeared AIdou nuzzled my neck. "I missed you Butterfly! Why'd you leave me with all the boring people!?" I felt my face heat up.
"H-Hanabusa!" I exclaimed as he bit my neck lightly. My face went so red I thought my head would explode. "What're you-ah..." I bit my lip the second a moan came out. Yuuki went red and didn't know if she should interfere or not. Aidou stopped, smirking at my reaction, and whirled me around, quickly kissing me.
"I love you." My face heat up and I mumbled a quiet, embarrassed,
"I love you too." So not used to this.
"You're so cute~!" He gushed, twirling me around. I screamed the second my feet were lifted in the air and gripped his arms so tightly my nails made him bleed a little.
"Put me down!" I cried out as he continued to twirl. Aidou did so, now noticing that he was bleeding and my teary eyes. I was shaking and tears tried to fall. I buried my face in his chest. "Please stop...just...stop." Aidou frowned, worried, and hugged me gently.
"Okay. I won't...I promise I won't do that again." He ran his hand through my hair- as much as he could- comfortingly. I calmed down slightly. "I promise."
I nodded quietly.
"Aidou-sempai." A male voice said.
"Zero!" Yuuki exclaimed in surprise.
We all turned out heads. Indeed, the silver haired, lilac eyed Vampire was standing there, glaring at Aidou. "In case you've forgotten, the Night CLass isn't supposed to enter the grounds of the Sun Dormitories.
"He's-He's right Aidou-Sempai!" Yuuki said. "Go back to your dorm!" Aidou glanced coldly at Zero.
"Yes. But I don't want to be there." He quickly turned his head childishly. "So I'm not going to go back!" He tightened his grip on me.
"Yuuki. Go get a rope and knife. We'll rip away Amaya from him and drag him back." Zero instructed. My eyes widened. What!?
I let out a yelp of surprise when Aidou's hand moved to under my legs and my back, quickly lifting me up bridal-style and taking off- all at the speed of lightning.
"You'll have to catch me first!" Aidou yelled childishly as he ran. "And I don't plan to let her go!"
Zero growled as he chased after him.
X.X In the Living room.
"Don't waste my time." Zero panted as Aidou sat on the couch smirking, arms crossed. I stood next to Yuuki, sighing. "I'm sick and tired of...you're stupid games!"
"You realize this could've been avoided if you helped me out in the start." Aidou said.
"Alright then." Yuuki sighed, sweatdropping. "I hope the Headmaster's Private Quarters are good enough for you." I slung an arm around her shoulder whispering- loudly,
"Nothing's ever good enough for him. Don't let his looks fool you." Yuuki giggled at that and Aidou shot me a raised eyebrow.
"Last time I checked, Butterfly, you quite liked my looks and were often fooled by them." He shrugged with his arms in the air, egoistical. "Unless, t's my personality that's got you fooled. Maybe even both!"
"Shut up." I glared annoyed. Yuuki laughed again. She paused thinking.
"Maybe you'd prefer Zero's room in the Sun Dorm..."
"Never.!" They both said, AIdou calm and Zero yelling.
"Besides, if I need too, I can just bunk with Amaya." I felt my face heat up at this.
"Like hell you will!" Zero growled at him, glaring.
"By the way, what made you run away from the Moon Dorm?" Yuuki asked Aidou.
"You know...I'm hungry." Hanabusa commented. Yuuki hid behind the door and Zero grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards him. I let out a yelp as I tripepd and fell backwards. Zero quickly caught me and I flinched.
"Oh come now, what're you so afraid of? Just cook me something, anything will be fine." I would've laughed, but I couldn't. Zero had one arm wrapped around my waist, the other around my torso. Aidou quickly began to give instructions. "Oh, I'm also going to need a soft bed to sleep in during the day. And the sheets must smell of lavender. And when I have baths, roses must be present." I sweatdropped. Nice to see I'm not the only picky one.
Time skip.
I paused and looked at the DInner table.
'Holy shit man. He ate out portion too!' I thought, eyes wide.
"It was alright. I was able to eat it. But the steak and mashed potatoes were pretty good." I gained a tick mark.
"Damn straight it better be good! I worked my ass off making that!" I glared and Yuuki attempted to calm me down. Aidou gained a surprised look and looked at me.
"You can cook?" Now I"m just feeling insulted.
"Yes, I like cooking too. A hobby I got from my father." I saw Aidou tense when I said "Father". "Hanabusa, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. But there still wasn't enough food."
Yuuki turned her head and muttered. "You're damn picky for a runaway." I sent her a surprised look and hugged crying,
"Why are you so corrupted!? My little Yuuki-Chan has grown up! Waaaah!" I cried, anime tears falling down my face.
"Is there a problem?" Aidou asked Yuuki, narrowing his eyes. Yuuki smiled sweetly at him.
"Yes. But don't worry. I'll just make sure to tell Kaname on you." Aidou looked down, sad slightly. I blinked.
"Well, come on Yuuki. We got to get Zero to bake another batch."
In the kitchen.
"What?" Zero exclaimed. "Amaya and I cooked enough for four and he wants more!?"
"Yeah." Yuuki said. I made a comment.
"Hanabusa...looks depressed slightly."
"Is he stressed out?" Zero asked. "He doesn't seem like the sensitive type." He dug his hand in his pocket and tossed Blood tablets. I yelped and quickly caught them. "Give him blood tablets for now. I'll cook him some more food. Amaya can take a break, besides, it's fine. I don't hate cooking." Zero continued to wash the dishes. "If you want something particular, just tell me."
"I guess...some salt Ramen." Yuuki said. I nodded in agreement, ignoring the slightly dizzy feeling I was getting.
"I'll take some Chicken Ramen, thanks. Yuuki, stay and help Zero when he asks for you to get him ingredients, kay?" I instructed. "If Hanabusa ate all that and is still hungry, he'll need to cook a whole bunch of stuff. And also wash the dishes. We only have one of him, he can't do everything." I walked off and grabbed a glass of water before leaving the kitchen- not noticing Yuuki's shock or Zero's surprise and thankful looks.
"Amaya? Where's my food?" He asked, hunger taking over. I rolled my eyes and tossed him the blood tablets.
"Right here. Stick with that for now." He caught the tablets and looked at them. "Here's some water to take them with." I set the cup down on the table. "Happy Halloween."
"SHouldn't it be Happy birthday?" I smirked and stood up straight, crossing my arms.
"Last I checked, yours was the 27th." Aidou looked at me surprised.
"You know my birthday?"
"Hey, if I'm your girlfriend, I should at least know what your birthday is. If I don't, how can I get you a present?"
"Fair enough. When's yours?" My smirk faltered slightly.
"October 23rd."
"A month away." A he said, talking about his birthday. September 27th. "By they way, these are Zero's, right?" I tensed slightly.
"No." I answered quickly. "I got them from the Headsmaster's drawer in his desk." Nice one. No way he can see through that. Aidou smiled as sparkles grew around him.
"Oh, don't panic." Aidou said, smiling egoistically. "I mean, after all, I am a genius so of course I would figure it out!"
"Um, no they're not!" I told him, growing a ticked mark. Genius or not, he couldn't have saw through my lie!
"And besides, Zero knows that I know as well." I sighed.
"Fine, you win. This time." I told him and started to pick up the plates.
"And I'd hate to tell you, but the Blood tablets don't work anymore." I froze and looked at him shocked.
"What?" He nodded and looked at me.
"You heard me. They aren't working. Every time I try to take one, I end up coughing it up. It ended up happening to Senri as well." I looked at him shocked. That wasn't supposed to happen!
"Why!? What's wrong with them?" I asked, voice slightly higher pitch. Aidou twirled the blood tablets with his fingers.
"Maybe we're just allergic." He said and I had a feeling that he was lying. I frowned.
"Why would blood tablets stop? And there is no possible way for a Vampire to be allergic to Blood tablets." Minus Zero of course.
"Because you meet a specific type of human."
CRASH
I flinched and knelt, trying to pick up the shattered pieces and almost immediately pulled my hand back. I brought it up to my mouth and began to suck on it, trying to stop it from bleeding. Ow... Why am I so accident prone?
"Damn it..." I muttered and (Carefully) picked up the pieces. I placed them on a napkin and wrapped them up. I hate breaking dishes. I walked into the kitchen and dumped them in the trash can, only to freeze when I felt someone right behind me. I felt a hand grab my wrist, while the other snaked it's way around my waist and stopped at my stomach, clutching my shirt slightly. I looked up, blushing, see Aidou there, bringing my hand up to his mouth. "H-Hanabusa?" His yes glowed red and he licked the blood that trailed down my hand. My heart beat increased as he placed my thumb in his mouth, drinking the blood from the wound. He closed his eyes, smiling at the taste. More blood trailed down my hand and some dripped off.
He removed my thumb from his mouth after a few minutes and opened his red eyes saying, "Sometimes I wonder if you just like me drinking your blood. You're always making yourself bleed." He licked the blood up and my face heat up at the feel of his tongue against my skin. "Or maybe you just want a reason to be near me." He smirked and leaned, breathe right against my neck. "You really...tempt me sometimes." I broke the eye-contact, red in the face, and said,
"I...I need to go take a shower." I said quickly and made to back away from him- embarrassed. But he wouldn't allow it.
"Why? You seemed to have taken one yesterday." He told me and licked my neck. I shivered- making him smirk. "Don't leave me here alone."
"You have Yuuki to keep you company." I told him, heart speeding up.
"But why have Yuuki...when I can have you?" He bit down and I took a few steps back, flinching when I backed against a wall. Aidou smirked and pulled back, placing his hands on each side of my head. The dizzy feeling returned and my breathing became shallow. AIdou noticed. "Amaya? Amaya, what's wrong?"
"I don't..." I wavered slightly, headache forming. "Feel...so good." I closed my eyes, falling to the ground. Aidou quickly caught me, worried.
"Amaya!? Amaya!?"
I woke with a cup of red liquid being forced into my mouth.
"Ah, Butterfly, you're awake." Aidou stated.
"Hana...busa?" I asked, swallowing the red substance. Didn't taste like Kool-Aid at all! Tasted more like Mango's...or was it Pomegranates? I think Mango's. I like Mango's. Mango's are good. "Where...where am I?"
"You're dorm room. You fainted and Zero deducted that you were sick." Ever wake up and not know where you are, freaking out second later? That's how I felt.
"Oh..." I took the cup from Aidou and began to drink it quickly. I love Mango's! Got a problem with that? I ignored his surprised look as I drank. I paused halfway and asked, "What is this? It's good. Taste like Mango's." I began to drink again. Whatever this stuff was, it made me feel better and less sick.
"You...You don't want to know." He hesitated. I stopped confused.
"Just tell me. If I find something I like then I want to know what it is so I can have more of it later." I told him and began to drink again.
"It's...blood. My blood." I nearly had a heart attack. "Vampire blood can heal humans. Most of them find it disgusting, but they'll drink it anyway." I nearly spat out the liquid.
"B-Blood!?" I panicked. "B-But it doesn't taste like Iron! Or rubber! It doesn't taste like crap!"
AIdou looked up in thought and it was then I noticed that he had a towel around his neck and was wearing black silk Pj's. Damn rich Vampires. "Though, it is interesting how my blood tastes like Mango's. I expected you to spit the blood out the second you woke up and tasted it." His ego grew. "It's nice to know I have such an effect on you!"
"Shut up." I glared, slightly disgusted with myself. How could I drink blood? Why would I drink it?
"Aw, don't be that way! Are you really going to be mean just because you like my blood?"
"Yes." He pouted and I couldn't help but think how cute he looked-No! Bad! Wait...aren't we dating though? How is that bad? Why am I still having these thoughts!?
"You're mean."
"Why thank you."
"I love you."
"I-" That one caught me off guard, making him smirk. He quickly took the chance and leaned forward, connecting my lips with his. I flinched as his fang nipped my lip, but he quickly licked that up and continued to kiss me. He pulled back after a few moments, leaving me in a daze. Only three words resonated in my mind and I repeated them quietly. "I love you...too."
X.X
"Zero! Move over! You're hogging up all the space!" I ordered. The silver-haired "Hn" and moved over. He continued to dry dishes and I washed them. That damn Hn sound... I looked at him curiously. "Do you ever say anything other then Hn?" I paused in washing the knife when he said
"Hn." I pointed dramatically.
"See! There it is again! That damn Hn sound-!" I let out a yelp when the knife cut my finger. Zero blinked.
"Be careful would'ya? You were sick an hour or two ago." He said, slightly confused. I'd be too. How would I be able to get better just from sleeping? Akd Aidou, he's the one who slipped Mango in my juice! I noticed him look away quickly and how he tensed. I realized something. Since Yuuki never go tcut...Zero never got blood...Aw, hell.
I paused and held up my finger, looking at Zero. "Hold on." He turned around and I stated bluntly, "Lick it."
He looked surprised, but took my hand anyway. He lifted my finger and brought to his mouth- only to pull back and clutch his chest in pain.
"Don't fight back, idiot." I ordered. "Drink. You're hungry, I know that for a fact." He hesitated again before licking up the blood slowly and biting down into my palm. I flinched as his fangs entered my hand. His had a different feeling than Hanabusa's...I didn't fear him. I was slightly afraid of Zero actually drinking me dry, to be honest. I watched as my blood trailed down my hand- the warm liquid staining my skin. Blood. I tensed, remembering Zero's words.
"What am I too you, Amaya?"
'What am I...to Zero? What is Zero to me?' I wondered, staring him in his red eyes. I was so certain that it was friend...I'm not so sure any more. I'm confused. It's definitely not what I feel for Aidou. I know that much but...
Could I like Zero? I love Hanabusa, but it...it might be possible that I like Zero.
I noticed his gaze moved from mine to the door. I blinked and turned my head, seeing it cracked open.
Who was it?
Yuuki...Or was it Hanabusa?
X.X At night.
I laid on my dorm, hand over my eyes, thinking deeply.
Blood...I drank it and I liked it. The taste of his blood...I could still taste it. The sweet taste of Hanabusa's blood...
I feel sick just thinking about it. I'm human. I'm not...I'm not a Vampire. I shouldn't like the taste of blood.
I'm a monster.
I slowly removed my hand from my eyes and lifted it up. My eyes widened with terror at the sight of blood and I resisted the urge to scream.
Again... The never ending sight of blood. I could the warm liquid trail down my arm, staining my white shirt.
"When you wake up...you won't be like us anymore. I love you, Amaya. My sister Aliza, always loved you like her own...You won't have to deal with us Vampires anymore. He will never find you. I just hope they realize the same thing...I did...Juri, forgive me."
I screamed and sat up, looking around widely. Who the hell said that!? That voice...
That oh-so-familiar voice...
"Amaya!?" The Chairman's voice rang out as he knocked on the door. My head snapped over to the door. "Can you check on Yuuki? SHe's been in the bath a long time."
"Huh-Oh, y-yeah...sure." My voice was shaky and my body was trembling, but I forced myself to get up and walked over to the door. I opened it and made my way to the Chairman's bathroom. WHen I did I knocked on the door, back to normal. "Yuuki!? Are you alright? The Chairman said you were taking a long time." No response. I furrowed my brows, worried. I knocked again. "Yuuki?"
"Y-Yeah..." Her voice was distant and I heard the moving of water. There was a scream and I panicked.
"Yuuki!? What's wrong!?" Was she hallucinating about the blood already!?
"I just...I just saw blood..." Was her frightened reply. "It-It's nothing! I'm getting out now!" More sounds. I hesitated.
"Yuuki...Alright. I'll see you at dinner then." I made to move the door opened and Yuuki shot out her hand, latching onto my arm sleeve. I noticed her hand and arm were shaking.
"P-please...don't go. S-Stay for a while." I understood how afraid she was. I go through that almost everyday.
"Alright." I said softly, not looking at the door. "I will. Now Yuuki...what's wrong? What did you see?" I pulled an Aiko, remembering what she always said to me and asked when I freaked out like she did.
"I tried...I tried to remember my past. And I saw..." She paused. "I saw a w-woman with b-brown hair and blood...blood was staining her clothes and skin...I'm-I'm scared! She-she was all static-y, like-like a static television...and then... blood. It was-It was everywhere!" SHe trembled and Quietly opened the bathroom, reaching my hand out and grabbing a towel, wrapping it around her bare body. She was shivering and ice-cold. I hugged her and began to rock her, humming. I was doing what Aiko did to me.
"Calm down. It's a hallucination. A Nightmare. Just a bad dream. Not real. Fake." She shivered, but stopped shaking eventually. "I go through the same thing too. I know what it's like. It's just a hallucination, Yuuki. If you want, we can go check out the Association's records to find out what happened ten years ago. Alright?" I saw her nod. "Now, get dressed Yuuki. Dinner's almost ready."
X.X
While Yuuki was at the Association's place, I was checking out stuff on the internet. Specifically as to why Blood tablets would stop working.
My eyes scanned over the pages, looking for the right link to click. When I found it, I double-clicked it and read.
There are rumors about Blood tablets stopping. Well, to clear things up, they're true. According to some Aristocrat Vampires- even a few Purebloods, they stopped. Every time they try to take it, they end up coughing it up.
"Why is this happening?" One of them asked. Another asked, "Am I allergic to the tablets?" Me and the crew laughed at that. The answer was simple. You met the right gal or guy! Human of course. Why have blood tablets if you can just drink from them? Their most likely always going to be willing. And if not, you can just drink from them and erase their memory afterwards! It works! For a clear and much more professional way of saying that:
When you meet a human- a specific type of human- the Blood tablets stop working. The human that caused it is your Soul Mate. In this case, Blood Mate! (Sorry, play on words) Now, most Vampire mates are Vampires, but there are the few who's happen to be human. Just to clear that up. Their blood will always stop your thirst (THe human mate's, not the Vampire's) and you will never crave another human's. I find it a bit stereotypical to be honest, but hey! What can I say? I'm just doing what I'm told. And no, this is not some fanfic thing that the author is just making up cause she's bored and lazy and doesn't feel like researching! This is 100% true! And that just makes it sound fake but...it is true!
And if you want to know more...click this link
Bloodtablets/Allergic
I did so, snorting a few times as I read the thing. Talk about unprofessional. It's sounds completely fake! Though, I clicked the link anyway.
I read and read and read, eyes growing wider and wider- facing even turning red. When it got to a specific part, I slammed the lap top closed and stood up, making to walk out the dorm room.
X.X In town.
"I'm bored." Aiko stated as we walked. I gave her a look.
"What? And I'm not?" Aiko shrugged before taking out a piece of pocky and sticking it in my mouth forcefully. I blinked- used to this- and sucked on the chocolately goodness.
"Eat."
"Will do." I said- voice muffled.
Que the scream.
We stopped in our tracks for about 3 seconds before charging towards the direction it came from- a dark alley, of course. When we got there we were greeted with the sight of a woman being drunken from a Level-E. I blinked before taking out Luna. I quickly raised it and threw it at him- only to curse myself for my stupidity later. The weapon hit the Vampire- causing him to scream and drop the woman, blood dripping down his face. My eyes widened and I let out a small scream as he charged- quickly hiding behind Aiko who held out a hand and screamed,
"Wait!" The Vampire stopped, surprised. "Are you allergic to garlic?" Shook his head. "Holy water?" He gained a confused look at that. "Okay... A cross?" He snickered evilly at that. Aiko and I sweatdropped. "Okay, last one. Are you allergic to pepper spray?" He had to think about that.
"N-No." He said. Aiko grinned, reached into her pocket and pulled out a can of pepper spray, held it up- and sprayed it right into his eyes. He screamed in agony and covered his eyes. "My-My eyes-My eyes!" I tried not to laugh.
"Aiko! Fist bump!" We fistbumped, cheering. We turned our heads and screamed as the Vampire charged blindly towards. "HOLY SHIT!"
"RUN LIKE YOUR HUMAN LIVES DEPEND ON IT!" Aiko screamed as we ran as fast as we could. I hit a rock and flew. I screamed and closed my eyes, bracing myself for impact...
"Well, I knew you liked me, but I never actually expected you to throw yourself at me." Came a egoistical voice that I never was so glad to hear in my life.
"Hanabusa!?" I exclaimed.
"A LITTLE HELP HERE!?" Came another familiar voice. I flinched and turned my head.
"Aiko! S-Sorry!" She was still being chased by the Vampire- who was quickly encased in ice. I yelped in surprise as Aidou loosened his grip a little so he coudl control where the ice was going. I tightened my grip around his neck.
"Honestly, I don't even know why your kind exist." Aidou glared at the Level-E coldly. "Your kind shouldn't even be created!" The ice-encased Vampire cracked a bit. "You're disgusting! A disgrace to all Vampires!" The ice cracked and the Vampire turned to dust. Aiko collapsed on the ground, panting. I blinked as Aidou's gaze went from cold to normal in a matter of seconds.
"Remind me not to piss you off in the future." I told him, letting out a low whistle. He grinned widely before hugging me tightly. I gasped in surprise and went blue slightly.
"Why'd you leave me alone again!?"
"You're the one- who left the Chairman's guest room!" I squeaked out, breathing in deeply when he loosened his grip. He sent me a look and I nearly backed down from it.
"I wouldn't have needed to if I didn't see you give Zero your blood." Aiko sat up and glared us. Aidou nuzzled my neck lovingly and looked me in the eyes saying, "Your blood doesn't belong to anyone but me." I opened my mouth to protest- Face red- that My blood belonged to no one but myself, when Aiko intervined.
"Sorry to interrupt your love fest," We both blushed. ", But what the hell are we going to do about her?" SHe pointed to the woman who was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay all the wall down the alley, passed out. Aidou sighed before setting me down. He walked over to her saying,
"I'll simply erase her memory. Nothing more then that."
X.X
"You're sleeping in here!" I told Hanabusa. "And if you sneak off back into the Moon Dorm again even you claimed you wouldn't, I will beat you up! You have no idea how much trouble I went through just to get you Lavender sheets! The Rose petals in the basket by your bed is for your baths, the sheets are already folded and placed, and-!" I let out a gasp of surprise when I felt myself backed the wall, wrists pinned down. I shuddered slightly as Aidou licked my neck, before biting down. I flinched and relaxed...and strangely, I found myself enjoying the sensation of having him drinking my blood.
...Am I masochist? Oh hell no!
Gulp, gulp, gulp- I could hear him drinking my blood and I wrapped my hands around his wrists. I tilted my head, lifting it up slightly as he dug his fangs deeper into my neck. I closed my eyes and listened.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Yo! You better not be doing anything dirty!" Aiko's voice shouted from outside the door. I turned a dark, dark red and Aidou noticed, for I felt him chuckle. Aiko, please, please don't put that image in my mind-too late. And my innocence is shattered and corrupted. "Yuuki, Zero, Yagari, and The Headmaster are back!"
"One-One second!" I shouted, tilting my head to look at the door. "Hanabusa!" I said, turnign my gaze towards him- I froze when I met his eyes. THe red, hypnotizing...dominate, gaze. I flinched as his fangs dug deeper into my neck. I gasped. "Hanabusa!" I struggled against his grip trying to break free. "You're...hurting me!" Damn him and his Vampire strength! His grip on my wrists tightened and I started to get dizzy. I did the one thing I could think of- or at least attempted too do- I made to knee him where the...ah, Sun don't shine. But he quickly froze my feet to the floor. I growled and flinched, crying ou tin pain slightly, as his fangs dug even deeper. I whimpered. "H-Hanabusa..." His eyes stopped glowing and he removed his fangs, licking my neck and the blood that leaked out.
He unfroze my foot and I fell forward, hand on my bruising neck. Ow...what did he do that for?
"I already told you...You're blood is mine." He whispered in my ear as he hugged me. "I won't let Kiryuu of all people have you." His hatred for the lilac-eyed boy was clear in his voice. "I love you Amaya...and I'm sorry I had to hurt you, but I needed to make it clear. Here." I flinched as he lifted me up and sat me down on his bed. He knelt down in front of me and lifted his fingers to his neck- nails piercing it, making him bleed.
"Wh-What?" My voice was tired and confused. He looked at me through his beautiful blue eyes and said,
"It'll make you feel better." He tilted his head. "Just drink." My eyes widened and I shook my head fiercely.
"No! I'm-I'm not going too! I'm not...I'm a human." I don't know why, I just had to keep telling myself that to actually make myself believe it. Tears pricked my eyes. "I-I can't..." Aidou didn't accept it however. He quickly placed one hand on my shoulder and the other behind my head, forcing me to lean close to him and have my mouth close to his neck. I slammed my eyes shut and turned my head slightly, But AIdou forced it back into place.
"Do it, Amaya." As if seeing blood hallucinations wasn't enough... I opened my eyes and glared at the blood that was trickling down his neck...yet I-yet I wanted to taste it again. I wanted to taste his mango-flavored blood. I'm human... "Please."
I let out a whimper and placed my lips on his neck, sucking as much blood as I could. Tears streamed down my cheeks and blood trickled down my lips and his neck. I continued to drink and his blood filled my mouth. The sweet taste touched my taste-buds and I swore I could even smell it. Even though it didn't smell like mango's...I couldn't tell what it smelled- Lavender. Ha, how ironic. I swallowed the crimson liquid and the tears streaked down even faster. He ran his fingers through my hair and stroked my back. I clenched tightly onto his shirt. After about two minutes, I couldn't handle it anymore. I removed myself from his neck and buried my face in his chest, sobbing.
"I'm sorry..."
"Mommy, Mommy! When can I meet the Kuran girl!?" A little girl with red hair and green eyes asked, a bandage on her right cheek. What shocked me most...was that she looked like a younger me. A beautiful blonde woman with the girls green eyes, wearing a black dress knelt down in front of her.
"Not long, dearie." She told her in a soft, smooth- British- voice. "We can't just barge in there. They're Purebloods, like Mommy. We have to use respect. Not only that-" She tucked a piece of red hair behind the little girls ear. "They want to protect their daughter from the bad man- the same man we're protecting you from." The girl frowned and clenched the hem of her shirt worriedly.
"THe same man with the scary eyes? The blue and red?" She asked. The woman smiled sadly and nodded.
"Yes, dearie." There was a creaking of a door opening. "Oh, Jack's home!" SHe stood up and smiled brightly.
"Daddy!?" The girl asked excitedly. She took off towards a run to the door and just as a man with red hair and blue eyes stepped through, he was tackled by her. He quickly caught her and regained his balance. "Guess what! Guess what! Guess what! Mommy says I can see the Kuran Princess soon! I always wanted to meet a princess!" He smiled and lifted the girl up in the air, spinning her. She laughed and held out her arms.
"Guess what, Firecracker?" He asked her and I nearly screamed in surprise. Not only did he look like Father, he called her by my nickname too! "We get to meet your betrothed soon!"
THe girl frowned slightly as her father set her down. "Daddy...what if we hate each other!?"
The blonde mother walked up and her husband wrapped an arm around her waist. "Nagamichi-san agreed that you and his son would be a lovely couple. You two'll get along perfectly! A bit you're only four, but hey, you two are meant for each other!" SHe let go of her husband and twirled- her dress flowing around her. THe girl pouted childishly.
"I don't believe you."
I sat up, panting, eyes wide.
"WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DREAM WAS THAT!?"
X.X
CLear things up. Yuuki's book was burned, Zero was indeed trapped inside the one room with the creepy GIrl/guy freak, and Kaien Cross was indeed a Vampire Hunter. And I did indeed drink Aidou's blood again. AkA most of the bruising is now gone, and the bite marks are mostly healed. I apparently didn't drink enough. Not that I care. I am now currently sitting on my bed and moping.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
I looked up annoyed at the door. "What do you want Aiko!?"
"I'm not Aiko." The door opened and I blinked in surprise as the lilac-eyed boy walked in.
"Zero!?" I then grew angry and threw a book at him- which he easily caught. "You can't just barge in the girls dorm like this! Even if everyone's on break, what the hell's your problem!?" He said nothing and just stood there. I rolled my eyes and sighed, falling on my back. "Don't just stand there, idiot, sit down." He walked over and plopped himself on the bed.
"You were moping again." He stated. "About the bitemark...on your neck?" I tensed. Zero leaned over and ran his index and middle finger over the bitemarks gently. "They're bruised, meaning he was rough with you. What did you do to piss Aidou-Sempai off?" I tensed and glared.
"I didn't do anything! Well...actually..." I hesitated and slowly said, "He was upset...because I let someone other then him...drink my blood." I glanced up with him and smacked him lightly on the side of the face. "What's with that look? You don't need to worry." He gave me a look that caught me by surprise. My face heated up slightly and heart beat faster.
"Do you not want me to worry?" What? I don't-?
"That's not it! I just...don't want you to worry over someone like me!" I told him, smiling. Yup! He should worry about Yuuki, not me! Even if I am going slightly mad...
"Amaya..." He said and leaned in slightly. I blushed as my eyes widened.
"Y-Yeah?" He continued to lean in, only to make a dive for my neck instead. To say the least, I was incredibly relived. I felt him lick my neck before biting down.
"Ze...ro!" I grunted and closed my eyes, clenching his shirt. I was beginning to get dizzy quickly. Zero was drinking more than normal. "Zero! Stop it!" I pushed him away- he wasn't using his strength like Aidou did.
He quickly wiped the blood away with his hand. "If I don't drink your blood like this... I won't be able to live. You're the victim here, Amaya." I blinked in surprise as he hugged me. "Do you understand? That's why, for you, you have the right to be cruel to me." He leaned back and grabbed my shoulders. "No matter how much you make me worry, or how much danger you put me in, you can hurt me as much as you like." I looked at him in shock. "But this is not enough. Even if I have to give my life for you, I wouldn't say a single complaint." Tears pricked my eyes as I glared at him.
"Don't...say that! You won't die! And I won't hurt you!" I poked him in the chest threateningly. "I will beat you up- mentally- if you talk crazy again! Okay!?" I quickly pulled him into a hug. I cried. "I won't...I won't let you die..." You, or anyone else. I felt Zero place a hand on teh back of my head.
