My eyes widened in alarm. "He's here!" I looked at my clothes in panic. "Do I look okay? Are these too modest? Are they wrinkled? Hmm, I could've sworn I ironed them two days ago. Is my hair okay? I wonder what he's gonna think? Am I overweight? I need to go on a diet. What the heck is this? IS THIS A HAIR?! I'm losing hair NOW?! I'm not old! Or at least that old... WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING? Bawling over things. In fact, who cares about how I look." I looked at the mirror and scowled at my eyes. God, I dislike them sooooo much.

I walked down the stairs carefully and saw my mom and Crowley greeting each other. They shook hands and Crowley grinned at her, his mouth presenting his vampric teeth. I shivered at the thought of those in my neck, or anywhere for that matter. My mom turned to me with a blush on her face and winked. She walked to her room with a pep in her step. I sweat dropped. "Guess good looks gets you anywhere. Or is it that sexy grin?... Nope, didn't just think that." I tried to convince myself. I attempted to give a smile but it backfired. A half smile was all I could manage. He went up to me and embraced me. I blushed and moved a little uncomfortably. "Don't think I forgot what happened when he ALMOST committed rape."

"Hello, my Eirin." He cooed. "Well... that's a surprise... he actually sounds nice." I reluctantly wrap my arms around him, gently. He seemed happy by the response because squeezed me tighter to him. We're not even on this level of relationship. "Uh, Crowley let go?" I asked unsure. He relented and walked to sit down first. I followed behind, watching his defined shoulder blades protrude back and forth as he walked. He sat down on the chair beside the head of the table. I sat in the chair beside the one in front of him. Crowley frowned and used his astounding speed to reach the other side of the table. He was adjacent to me now. I forced myself not to look at him and instead stared at the new arrivals on the table. They were sauces such as cocktail, ranch, and ketchup. Man, was I hungry.

I got startled when suddenly his large hand enveloped mine, much like a cocoon. I blushed and glanced at our intertwined hands embarrassed. I looked at his face and he gave me a carefree smile. I found myself responding by smiling at him. His smooth skin felt... nice on mine. My mom came out her bedroom and smirked at us. I turned away humiliated. She had on a baby blue turtle neck long sleeved shirt with a gold colored necklace that had 3 beads that were colored shades of blue. Her boot leg jeans stopped at her ankles. Her hair was in a french braid unlike Crowley's whose was slung over his left shoulder. The food was piping hot as she gestured to the food. "Go on. You can start eating." Crowley shook his head politely and commented, "Well I can see where Eirin got her looks from, beauty." I almost choked on my spit when my mother just blushed and swatted her hands in the air going on about how I got my looks from my father.

Which was a huge lie. My dad has black hair and green eyes. I wondered where the heck I got my looks from sometimes. I quickly started eating when my stomach complained. It was hard to eat with one hand but I accomplished it. I wanted him to let go of my hand but he wouldn't. I gave up. The shrimp was simply divine. And the lasagna was super duper delicious. Mom added a spice just for me. They started conversing and I eavesdropped.

"I was previously a model and now I'm a chef. I work at The One now. What about you?" She inquired while sitting down at the head of the table.

He gave a fake smile and answered jolly, "I work as a governmental supplier, but often times it gets boring and uneventful."

"Do you have STDS?" I choked on my food as it was going down my throat. "What the HELL?!" I was struggling not to puke and to breathe. Crowley just chuckled and rubbed my back. I glared at my mom through my struggling, silently pleading her to 'not ask a question like that ever again.' She just shrugged. This is something mom and I don't have in common, she's straight forward and doesn't beat around the bush. She's not shy when asking questions like these or comments. Often times it's mortifying.

"Well I did have quite many women in my bed, but vampires don't accumulate this particular disease." I blanched in disgust. That makes me sick. Overtime, if a person doesn't ever find their mate which isn't rare but actually happens quite often, then they get married to someone who doesn't have a mate or they just have women who... pleasures them. My mom nodded, relieved. Then she laughed, "I'm sorry for being so rude, it's just that she's my ONLY daughter and I want her to be... safe." My heart warmed at her concern. She's my mother after all... despite her flaws.

Crowley's lips upturned and he smiled, "No, it's quite refreshing to have someone like you as a mother. Go on." I could tell he was sincere by the sparkle in his eyes when he spoke about it. "Phew, at least he likes her. That's a good sign for the future."

She asked him about a billion questions about this and that and if he would guarantee my safety and happiness. She was also consuming the heavenly food while interrogating him. She peeked at a clock in the corner and exclaimed, "Oh no, I'm late for work. I'll leave it to you to clean up, thanks!" She shot up from her seat and rushed to get her keys and purse. She bid farewell and Crowley and I were left alone with each other. He turned to me and smiled while raising his eyebrows suggestively.

I got up and mumbled, "Let's do the dishes." I gathered the plates on the table and put the leftovers in a container. It was my mom and I's principle to never waste food, but to eat it later, or give to the poor. He put the plates in the sink while I filled the sink with warm water. I added orange soap to the sponge and water, then started to clean the crumbs and residue off the plates. When I placed them in the left part of the sink, Crowley would wash it and put it in the dish rack. It went on like that for 10 more minutes until finally we were done. I dried my wrinkly hands on the towel and handed him it. He did the same.

Afterwards, I sat down on the couch and sighed cracking my neck, left and right. Crowley also sat down and commented, "You're lucky... to have a mother like that." I smiled and said fondly, "Yeah, but she can be a little embarrassing at times." After that it was silence.

"Sooooo... you have any family?" I inquired.

"All dead." He answered curtly and before I could say my condolences he asked, "What happened to your father?" My whole body stilled in discomfort, but I guess I had to tell him at least that much.

"He, um..., is in a coma. He got beat up bad and was sent to the hospital. Then when he came home he fainted again... then he never woke up after that." I muttered quietly knowing he heard me. He placed his hand on my shoulder and I realized I was shaking.

"Have you ever thought about turning him to a vampire?" He prodded. I glanced at him sharply, "NEVER! They're the ones who beat him." My eyes were narrowing at Crowley but he didn't seem surprised, instead he smiled and pulled me into a hug. I didn't respond but I was still shivering... like a coward.

"Hey, Crowley..., what do you really do... I mean for work?" I decided to ask, changing the subject. He pulled back and smiled at me. He put a finger on his chin and tilted his head childishly. I felt my lips upturn slightly.

"Hmm, you caught on? Good, you're smart." He complimented me. Of course, I didn't get a bachelor's degree for nothing.

"I sell land mostly, and do other tiny contributions for the government." He explained thoroughly. I nodded in understanding. "I think... we may be on the friendship level." I thought relieved. "Maybe this way, it'll be easier for me to accept... the mating... STUFF."

"And you work for the hotel as an elevator operator." He affirmed.

"Yeah, it's not much but it definitely gets me by." I uttered. His eyes were expressionless as we conversed more about random topics.

"What classes did you take in college?" He questioned, smiling amused at what I said before.

"Well, I took Management, Writing and Composition, Computer Science, American History, World History, Science, and Track." I responded, my finger on my chin, me thinking deeply.

"What size bra do you wear?" He asked innocently, batting his eyelids playfully. I stared at him incredulously and started to blush covering my breasts with my arms. He smirked and scooted closer to me. I, however, was leaning as far away as possible, to the point of where I fell of onto the ground. Or I was supposed to anyway. Instead Crowley caught me and underestimated his strength and pulled me up to strongly.

I let loose a gasp as I collided with Crowley's body, my face near his and... my lips on his.

"...Sorry mom."

Shinoa's Pov

Now, this was funny. A boy with chin length brown hair and olive green eyes was hugging, or what would be mistaken as humping a poor boy, as he was lying on the ground. I snickered in amusement. His butt was swaying side to side as he wailed over his friend. "If you ask me, that's a friend with benefits. Hehe." I thought.

Suddenly, the boy was pushed off and a head of black hair assaulted my eyes. His hair was chin length and messy, the deepest shade of onyx, his bright green eyes glared at the brown haired boy as he reprimanded him. My heart rate sped up as my eyes scanned over him. He wasn't as tall as Guren, but he was definitely taller then me, standing at a 5'6 or 5'7, for I was only a 4'11, which lately I've been disliking, because of my hardships to reach the cupboards and bookshelves in the library. Add on to it, to be surrounded by tall males almost everyday strains my neck.

"Great, why is my heart beating so fast? Che, whatever." I adamantly ignored my insistent heart and instead stared directly at my clipboard. On it was a file, and I turned it, opening it revealing a picture of a certain boy. Or the one in front of me. His name was Yuichiro Hyakuya. Age 16. Rescued at age 12 from the vampire cult. I strolled casually towards Yuichiro as he was about to hit his friend on the head angrily.

I placed the clipboard between Yuichiro's white gloved clad fist and the boy's head. The boy's eyes were closed as he prepared for an impact on his head but when receiving none, lifted his head and peeked at me through the curtain of his eyes. He looked confused as well as Yuichiro.

"Hello, Yuichiro, I'm Shinoa. It's a pleasure. Before you ask any stupid questions, I was sent here by Guren. He wanted me to, and I quote, 'Get your sorry ass in the meeting room, or you'll be suspended once more!'" I commanded promptly while giving a tiny smirk towards him. Yuichiro just stared at me with blank eyes as he looked my body up and down. I suppressed the urge to blush and shuffle my feet uncomfortably. "Is there something on my face?" I questioned internally. I gestured my right hand forward as I turned around and stalked back in the direction I came from. Once I was hidden from his view I found myself blushing uncontrollably. I still felt his gaze on my body and got annoyed.

"Stop staring!" "If you're not going to come to my room at midnight for a movie and games, then stop staring." I teased sarcastically attempting to quell the importunate flush from coloring my alabaster skin. He blushed a deep crimson and turned away.

He made a lame excuse and exclaimed, "I-I was just trying to tell you to call me Y-Yuu." I crushed the hankering to chuckle.

"All's you've had to do is tell me. Not rape me with your stare." I could tell he wanted to retort but he shoved it down to grumbling and muttering profanities. I smirked and rolled my eyes playfully, unbeknownst to me that Yuu was peeking at me every now and then. Yoichi, throughout the whole ordeal had chosen to remain quiet and inspect us looking left from right at us when one of us spoke.

We reached at nice sized building with two huge black double doors. I pushed it open and stepped inside, leading the two boys down a lighted hallway with white tiles as flooring. Our footsteps echoed in the vacant aisles. "Ya know you don't have to come with Yuu, right?" I questioned the boy staying close to Yuu. He shook his head no and said, quite confidently despite his looks, "Yuu's my friend... he... I'll be right beside him where ever he goes." I raised a brow but said nothing in return.

"Friend... huh?"

Finally, we reached the doors that lead to the conference room. It's where the old cronies meet up for discussions, planning, reinforcing, and military issues. I opened the door and headed inside to a seat at one of the tables. Yuu and the boy followed me to where I was but before they could sit down, Yuu was hit upon the head by Guren.

Guren shouted angered, "You fool! You got an innocent bystanders involved?!"

I shook my head. "He doesn't have to be that hard on him..." But I suppose that's an appropriate punishment for getting people out of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army involved. Yuu exclaimed, "What the HEll?! That was unintentional. It's not like she had a choice. Those bloodsuckers kidnapped her and those people plus that's only one person I let off without telling just so you know, AND she was injured, she needed a hospital!"

I simpered at Yuu. The brown haired teen just looked fearful and was trying to calm down Yuu. Obviously Yuu was completely ignoring his presence. Guren narrowed his eyes in exasperation and glanced away at the computer screen. He grasped a remote and turned the ginormous screen on. It flashed brightly for a second before fading to a subtle glow. It displayed a profile of a girl. It showed her picture and data in bold black letters. It was in code but I could read it as I was taught at a young age.

My normal straight face turned shocked in seconds as I processed the information. Yuu's bickering about what it said didn't reach my ears. Almost as if sensing my discomfort Yuu turned to me and I was standing up in seconds. "Special Minds?! Eirin... E-Eiri? She's the ONE?!"

A groan invaded my ears to the left of me. Another teenager with dirty blonde hair appeared to be shocked as well as irritated. As if an annoyance just became known. And then everything went black.

Crowley's Pov

It was a surprise, but pleasant nonetheless. Her soft, warm, pink lips were planted on mine like pages in a book. It was... heaven to say the least. A warmth sprouted in my chest as her heartbeat sped up. "What is this feeling? Is it... happiness?" My hands were on the curves of her waist and I felt myself swallow. I close in proximity to her so I smelt her. It was honey with strawberries. I revealed in it. Suddenly my mind clouded over and something came over me. My eyelids drooped a tiny bit but I could still see her. Her eyes were wide and her whole face was flushed the color of beautiful red.

My eyes snapped open and they were glowing red. My fangs grew a bit longer and she pulled away but I growled in warning and pulled her closer to me. We weren't kissing but I wanted too. So I did. Being with her calmed me, made me feel happy, and... complete. Our lips were once again slammed together as I purred in a rough voice. My eyes were shut and her heart beat sped up ten times faster than before. I slipped my tongue in between her lips demanding attention and response. I pushed her against me more insistently as I grew desperate for more contact. I wanted to feel her in my arms now.

MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE. All MINE!My mind chanted a mantra as I broke the heated kiss. She ended up responding in the end so I felt happier than before. I placed my lips on her neck and was about to initiate the marking but a whimper escaped her lips. I pulled back slightly so I could analyze her face. Unshed tears were in her eyes making them look glossy, her lips were trembling and she looked scared. Immediately that displeased me so I stopped and placed her on the couch. I lye down on top of her with my cheek against hers. She stopped shuddering and her heart beat slowed as well. A calming silence over came us.

I rubbed my body against hers to spread my scent on her body. As she makes a move to get up, I growl and grab her wrists and pin them above her head. Her scent is overwhelming and I can't take it. I loose control and sensually lick her shoulder. She shudders and her heart beat, once again, becomes erratic. Then I plunge for the treat.

Her blood.

Well, actually this blood is... MINE. She is mine.

Well... this is short but that's okay because I added some juicy scenes to rile ya up a bit. REVIEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! =)

REVIEW, PLEASE REVIEW! I was thinking maybe 4 reviews? Please, please! THX! XD XD XD

Smileyface209: It's okay! I forgive you. Yes, Eirin is just shocked and quite honestly scared that she's going to get hurt and is afraid to accept this because it could change her life drastically. Crowley just finds Ferid amusing but not to the point of where he likes what he's doing because Crowley just wants to coincide with humans and be peaceful with them, but he still dislikes humans because they only like money and power. To be the supreme. Yeah, but he doesn't go over board. Crowley prefers to physically hurt you unlike Ferid who likes both physical and mental pain. Yes, the website is pretty funny. And Mika, sadly doesn't show up in this chapter but Yuu does and it's awesome. Also, I don't know how college works so if I got anything wrong, sorry. Review again! And thank you! =) Good luck with college!

Guest: Great, I'm glad it is. Here's the chapter you've been waiting for. Thank you and please review!

Shadechu Nightray: Please keep laughing! =) I agree with you there. Peace between them would be way more easier. Yeah, if any of them seem OOC, please tell me and I'll try to improve them more.

Chapter 2

Shadechu Nightray: I'm SOOOOOO HAPPY you like her, often times she's hard to write but I get through with it in the end... for you... if you review that is... PLEASE REVIEW! Amasai showed in this chapter. He's the blond one Shinoa looked at before fainting. I really don't know much about the government so I can't explain what it is he does but I tried to explain in this chapter. He's not a minister really, he just has alot of land and he sells it to the government and to big companies, etc. Yep, Horn and Chess arrived! PLEASE REVIEW! THANK YOU. BTW his full name is Amasai Kyoto.
