Eirin's Pov

(Translation: Why me!?)

"Nande Watashi!?" I screamed in Japanese in my mind frantically. Crowley Eusford was kissing m- not just kissing me but FRENCH kissing me! I have to admit, albeit reluctantly, that it was good. (Great and a turn on if he had continued.) I did maybe, kinda, sorta, possibly, very unlikely respond to his heavenly mouth. At the end. Yep... I am panicked right now. Thank god we stopped..., and now he's hovering over me like a mama cat would it babies. I inhaled and exhaled my heart beat calming down.

Think straight and calmly. Crowley just kissed me. Just as I thought that, Crowley licked my shoulder eliciting a shudder from me. Okay so no- "Ah!" I shrieked in shock and pain as I felt fangs enter my body sucking the blood out of me. I heard Crowley groan in pleasure. He was sucking greedily while I was writhing in pain. It's not as hurtful as I thought it would be, but it's NOT pleasant. I tugged at his clothing resting on his shoulder blades to move him but of course he just growled back warningly like I should let him take my blood. His hands from before that were holding down my hands were now clutching onto my shirt. I heard a ripping sound. Yep that was my shirt. He threw away the piece he ripped off. Now my shoulders were bare showing my black bra straps.

"Did I put deodorant on? God what hell am I thinking about at a time like this!" He kept sucking and I was feeling light headed. I pushed lightly on him but he didn't budge. "Ugh, s-s-sto-..p." I pleaded feeling sick and frustrated. He had to stop or I would faint. He finally relented and ceased his blood sucking. He pulled his pearly white fangs out of my shoulder and licked the tiny droplets of blood seeping out. Crowley kissed the injury in apology. He nuzzled his face against mine. I blushed in embarrassment.

Now I was finally calmer than before due to my drowsiness, and Crowley. I closed my eyes and sighed tiredly. Crowley's arms were positioned around my waist and his cheek was pressed against mine. If he was a cat, then he'd be purring right about now. (Review if you LOVE cats!)

Suddenly, I was hefted from the couch and in my room in seconds. "Wha-?" I couldn't finish because I was thrown on my bed. "What the heck is happening? What is he gonna do?" I found myself shivering at the imagination of what was to conspire in my room. I looked at Crowley and the glint in his eyes seemed to disappear but that didn't make him look any less intimidating and feral. He glided over to my bed, his foot steps making no sound. But that made it more disturbing. Finally he settled himself right beside me, resting his muscular legs underneath the covers and pulling me towards his chest.

It was warm and cozy under the covers. The dark blue walls contrasted with my pale blue covers. I heard Crowley murmuring, "I love her scent." The only things he's been doing is growling but now that I heard his voice, a shiver involuntarily went down my spine. I perceived that voice before, but now I clearly hear it right beside my ear. His chin is resting on my head while his long arms are cocooning me.

"Can't you go home... and sleep?" I asked him after I glanced up and saw him closing his eyes.

He grunted in response. I guess that is a no. I sighed and decided to get comfy. "Might as well get used to it. It's not like I'm very far from this stage anyway. We've learnt a few things about each other too." I slowly drifted off to sleep as I snuggled into Crowley.

The last thought in my mind was, "Mmmm... this is nice."

Yuu's Pov

The first time I saw her... I felt a pull. She was short, coming up to me at my chest at most. I kept stealing glances at her, every now and then. I couldn't help it. But I felt no ill feelings toward her, in fact I felt calm around her more than normal. That wasn't supposed to happen but it did. So, as soon as she fainted I was the first to know and the first to come to her aid. I dashed towards her and caught Shinoa before she could hit the cold ground. I lifted her up, carrying her bridal style out the room and towards the medical hall. Or as I like to call it, the Living Hell. Through my experiences here, it wasn't great... AT ALL. I mean the medics were decent but they were harsh in there work. They always seem to be in a hurry. I guess that's reasonable because they're a lot of causalities thanks to those vampires. "Hmph, dirty blood suckers. All of them."

I went to a green colored door and busted it open using my leg. Yoichi was shouting at me to wait, but I didn't, couldn't wait because I was worried. Worried for Shinoa. The doctor I usually see for my wounds groaned at having to see me. "Yeah, well I don't like you either." He has dark brown messy hair with hazel eyes. His skin is tanned lightly.

"What is it thi-," He noticed the girl I was holding in my arms. He whistled and commented, "Don't tell me you didn't pleasure her enough and now she needs a new man to sate her needs?" And this is precisely why I dislike him. He's a flirt and is perverted about everything.

I tightened my hold on her and grounded out, "This. Is. Serious." He smirked cockily and tapped the bed. I reluctantly placed her gently on the bed. She stirred a little bit but didn't wake up. Carmine placed the two earpieces in his ears and proceeded to place the stethoscope's chest piece on her chest. I shifted my body as to make a move to stop him putting his hands on her, but I forcefully suppressed the urge. "He's just trying to help her." I thought, trying to convince myself. However the burn to do something to get his dirty hands off her was still there.

"Ugh, what the hell is happening to me?" Yoichi finally arrived out of breath, forcing my attention away to him. "How are you so fast?" He inquired, truly admonished to my speed. I shrugged not caring. Just caring about her. Again, what the hell is happening to me? After catching his breath, he stood beside me watching Carmine. Yoichi and I met at school where I was suspended to for a month. I had to make a friend and I happened upon him getting beat up. I pitied him so I was going to help him, but then a random student handed me a letter saying I couldn't fight at school. As per usual, it was from Guren. "God, he gets on my nerves sometimes. I don't even know what he was getting mad about. I was in a hurry, I had to help her, and yet I get punished for helping an innocent. Pah! He should go to hell."

After I was done waiting for Carmine to finish he spoke, "She's very malnourished and stressed. It looks like she hasn't been getting much sleep lately. And she has some bruises on her ribs, so she should be resting."

My eyebrows raised in confusion. "What could she be stressing about? She looked fine earlier." I nodded and went up to her and was more than ready to grab her for myself when Carmine's hand shot out and grabbed mine. Yoichi gasped while I just glared at his hands then his face. But his face was serious. An actual serious face on Carmine? What is this about?

He asked, "How do you know her?"

"Why do you want to know?" I asked swiping my hand away, crossing them over my chest. He leaned back and responded, "Oh ya know... because she's Tenri Hiragi's daughter." My eyes widened resembling saucers and my mouth fell open revealing shiny non-pointed teeth. I glanced at Yoichi from the corner of my eyes. He also portrayed surprise.

"S-s-seriously?" Yoichi stuttered out. At this point I couldn't even talk. Carmine nodded grimly. I swallowed the lump down in my throat and voiced, "W-well, I'll take her back to her room. Where is it?"

Carmine rolled his chair to his desk decorated with papers of all kinds and grabbed one with a map of the building. He circled her room with his pen and handed it to me and winked. I grimaced and shook my head while he just chuckled and nodded adamantly. I picked her up and instantly felt better at having her in my arms. I exited and jogged out the door reading the map while turning and going upstairs. Yoichi called after me, "Yuu! I'm going to go tell Guren... and plead to god for my survival!" I rolled my eyes.

"It's not like we're going to die...right?" I asked myself unsure. Whatever. I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts. "I'm not going to die neither here nor in battle. Because I'll kill those vampires if it's the last thing I do!"

I glanced at Shinoa and she was breathing evenly, peacefully. I could see dark circles around her eyes and I frowned. That isn't supposed to be there. I turned right and finally saw 3 pairs of double doors. Each of them were labeled. One was labeled Girls' Dorm - 1A, the others followed Girls' Dorm - 1B, Girls' Dorm - 1C. The boy's were similar except there were more on another floor. There is about 40-50 rooms on each hall for boys and girls. They were labeled and usually the soldiers who killed Four Horsemen of John went to 1D - 1G. Soldiers who kill vampires and protect the borders are in dorms 1A - 1C. The number 2 halls is for the head of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, people like Guren, and people apart of the political meetings; basically the important people. The number 3 halls are for workers and personnel like Carmine. And then that's all for this floor.

I took the hall 1B and jogged to her room. Her room number is 177. I stored that information for later use. I knew it would come in handy someday. I lifted my knee so it was used for a stool to her... butt. I gulped and blushed as I put my right hand on her flat stomach. I traced it along her stomach liking the feel of our contact with each other. I shivered in anticipation. "W-wait... what am I anticipating? Touching her boob? N-n-n-no way!"

I slapped my cheek two times before I focused at what I wanted to do in the first place. I saw her pocket and it had a lump in it. I reached in it. It didn't help that it was in her breast pocket. Although her breast were small they were cute admittedly. ...Yeah. I know.

Finally done with the task, I inserted the key into the door knob and twisted it. Once done, I opened it and walked inside to her bed. Her red colored bed sheets were wrinkled. She didn't sleep in them. I narrowed my eyes. "Why wouldn't she sleep?" I found myself wanting to talk to her and comfort her. Ask her who the hell she thinks she is to mistreat her body?! Oh... that's right... the owner of her body. I groaned. I seriously need a doctor.

I put her on the bed and placed the covers over her slim body. She has the right curves in the right places and tiny muscles that I had the urge to squeeze. I held it back of course. I found myself just staring at her face. For no damn reason at all. I just felt like it. Unconsciously my hand lifted to be settled on her cheek. It was smooth and soft. And most of all... it felt right. My eyes slowly started to drift close until they finally shut soundlessly. I fell on her body half way to where my chest was resting across her torso, chest, and half her shoulder. My legs were left across the floor almost like a corpse would be.

Unbeknownst to me, somewhere inside me a quiet voice rumbled, "Mine. Shinoa is mine. Hehehehehehehehehe."

Eirin's Pov

When I woke up Crowley was gone. I couldn't help but be disappointed but then I mentally berated myself, "I shouldn't be sad, but happy! In fact I wish he was gone."

I sat up and went over to my computer. I checked my email and saw 2 new emails, one from my workplace for my lack of showing up and another from my mom. I sighed and checked the one my mom sent me.

'Sorry but I'm leaving you in the care of Crowley right now because I have to fill in for another cook at Shinjuku! Be safe and I LOVE YOU!'

I sweat dropped at the uneeded caps lock and shook my head. "Childish." I went to microsoft word 2013 and started to do one of my hobbies. Which is typing quotes or poems I can think of. I usually do it when I'm feeling strong emotions. I've accumulated many quotes and small poems that I don't want anyone to know. You could say this is my biggest secret. I would feel so embarrassed if Crowley in the future ever found out about this. "Wait... in the future? What made me think that?" I frowned and shook my head. Get your head out of the gutter Eirin.

Hmm... what was I feeling? I guess calmness. I haven't felt this calm since... well childhood days. I've had a lot to worry about as the years progressed especially with my father and finding a job to support my mother and myself. Ugh... so many things I wish to get rid of in my life. My father's coma, my helplessness, my mother's pain, MY pain, and... these weird feelings claiming my mind.

I put my fingers on the smooth black keys that held hidden lights beneath the surface. I started typing my fingers moving automatically.

_"When I'm happy, I feel like I can fly. When I'm sad I feel like dying. But when this serene feeling overtakes me... it feels like I'm on the clouds. Their soft puffy whiteness making me feel so right. It's beautiful. I feel beautiful. Those clouds... I've never noticed them before but now I have. And everything shapes as the clouds do... like calmness. Now everyday I look at the clouds and... relish."_

That was refreshing. I stretched my arms above my head, yawing as I did so. Out periphery vision I saw the wrinkled and messy covers on my bed. I got up and shut my laptop, sauntering my way to the bed. I picked up the covers and smoothed them before putting them in there rightful place. I straightened the pillow and looked at everything to make sure it was situated. Once satisfied, I opened the door only to be met with an amazing smell. "Mom? No... she's away. Crowley however... he stayed," A feeling of unexpected happiness came over me, and I couldn't help but blush remembering yesterday's events. "Oh god... I'm not a pervert right? Wait a second... he can COOK?!" OMG!

Crowley Eusford can actually put his heavenly hands on a skillet over the stove without getting burned or burning the house down?! I panicked and quickly skipped down the stairs landing harshly on the floor. Before I could go to where Crowley was, I was pushed against the wall, a slim, small hand clenching my neck. It wasn't painful, but I couldn't breathe.

"HAH!" I gasped out in panic. I was thrashing but the hold just tightened. I heard a nasty cackle from the person and judging from their strength and voice, it was a vampire, a girl one at that. My hands flew up to her wrists and tugged but to no avail. "Put. Her. Down." Crowley commanded the girl in front of me. My eyes were closed to afraid to open to see the horrific vampire with fangs bared, ready to pounce. The girl growled and said in a whiny voice, "Awwwww, but Crowley-sama, I don't like her face or her seducing ways, making you forget about me. Isn't that right Horn?" I heard the pots sizzling and the pops of oil coming out from the kitchen. Then I strained to hear a, "That's right Crowley-sama." She sounded womanly and more mature unlike someone holding my neck like a homicidal murder.

"WHO are these people? What are they doing in my house? Are there more?" I shuddered at the thought of more than one vampire being near me, or in MY HOUSE for that matter. I decided right then and there that they were going to leave whether they liked it or not. "Alright then, I guess deducting your pay, stealing your pictures of me, not to mention my boxers, and killing myself would make you let go, correct?" Immediately, I was let go as I heard her shrieking, "OH! Anything but the boxers and are YOU seriously suggesting death over her pathetic livestock life?! That's unacceptable!" I winced at her volume feeling bad for vampire's poor assaulted ears.

"Boxers, huh? He lets her keep them? That's disgusting, perverted, disgraceful, disturbing and he really needs to dump them, whoever they are." I thought irritated as I rubbed my sore throat and peeked at the complaining girl. She was stomping her foot on MY wooden floor. If she didn't stop, I feared she would create a crater or much worse a hole. I gulped and shyly spoke up, "A-ano, uh I mean, um could you stop stomping your foot... please!" I squeaked out as I saw her glare at me with menacing eyes. The other lady came out, Horn, and narrowed her eyes but not as a glare. However that didn't stop her eyes from being coated with malice. I swear just now, the temperature just turned colder by a few degrees. I shivered in nervousness and fear.

"You don't like it? Then what are you gonna do huh? Tell me!" She screeched at me in annoyance and obvious dislike- wait scratch that hate. I unconsciously rubbed my throat again in reassurance that her hand actually wasn't there. Crowley came up to her and the grabbed her shoulder. She turned around ready to complain some more when suddenly she froze in place, half turned around towards Crowley. Horn just shook her head one time and went back in the kitchen to finish... I assume cooking. The girl was frozen in place as she started shivering and fell to the floor, muttering and begging Crowley to stop. I gulped in fear and looked to Crowley, the perpetrator.

I stood up on my feet and shuffled to the couch crouching to where I could see them but duck if anything got dangerous, life threatening, blood filled, pain filled, and scream filled. I shook my head and focused on the spotlights of the show which honestly I wish wasn't in my house. "Ugh, how my dreams fly away so quickly."

Crowley spoke menacingly, "What do you have to say to MY Eirin, Chess?"

Chess, that was the dark lavender haired girl's name. Her hair fit really well with the color scheme of the room. I couldn't help but admire it. It was short like mine except longer but not by a lot. I would say one inch or a little more. I always thought long hair was to tiring to take care of. She was cute whilst the other woman, Horn, was beautiful and elegant. "Everything a man like Crowley would want in a woman." Suddenly, a depressed aura came over me as I thought that. "Now's not a time to get depressed, j-just watch Crowley and Chess."

I looked back at the female cynosure trembling beneath Crowley. I felt a little guilt upon having caused her this. I mean, okay, she out her hand on my throat, so what? And kinda, maybe, sorta, choked me. A little bit though. I'm not hurt, or that hurt anyway. I rubbed my throat and winced at the bruises I came in contact with. That was the only injury I sustained thankfully.

I observed the actions being taken by Chess. She got up and came towards me shakily. She stumbled and almost fell but her hands stopped herself in time. I was about to go help her when she turned her head towards me and hissed at me, baring her fangs threateningly, I stopped mid-step. Then she looked back down in immense pain and shuddered, almost succumbing the urge to fall flat on her face. A massive amount of guilt came over me as I recognized the technique and display of power he had over her. "It's the one from the hospital that he used on me."

"Go on, do it." He ordered coldly. I looked to Crowley but he was staring intently at Chess, not moving a single muscle. He wasn't even blinking. I heard a sob and turned to Chess. Tears were spilling down her face as she struggled to breathe in the much needed air, even for a vampire.

"I-I-I'm s-s-s-s-so so-...rry." She stuttered helplessly. Then she fell on her face, sobs taking over. I blanched in guilt. "I hate seeing someone cry. I hate making someone cry." Never have I thought that I'd be standing in front of a vampire, them at my feet bawling and apologizing. Either she was was genuinely sorry or the pain was so much she forced it. I strongly betted on the second option. I knew Crowley was using the same technique he used on me but this... is to a new extent. It has to do with the air or... something that surrounds us. "God, I have SOOOO many questions. Like when the hell they're going to get out of my house."

I stepped forward slightly and squatted down so I was directly in front of Chess. She managed a weak glare in my direction but other than that, she was left immobile on the ground. Tears were pouring down her face like rain and snot joined their trail. I lifted my head and gave a pointed stare at Crowley. He just raised an eyebrow and I groaned, "You know what I mean. Now stop using... whatever you're using on her!" I shouted at him frustrated. He smirked and admonished, "Okay, but if she lashes out at you, I'll do it again. So would you rather her attack you a second time, or I teach her a lesson right now and get it over with?"

I sat on my feet and looked at Chess. She was sobbing uncontrollably and another stab went through my heart.
"C-Chess," I tentatively spoke but stopped when she mewled and swiped at me with her hand. Of course I dodged it but very slim. "Just say you won't attack me again and then the pain you're feeling will be levitated, okay?" She was breathing fast and trying to listen to what I was saying. Good, at least common sense reaches through her pride.

"I-I-I'm n-not gonna... at-attack he-..r. So p-pl-please." She begged, scratching at the floor aimlessly. After a few seconds, Crowley relented. She immediately stopped flailing and moving and was gulping down much needed breaths of air, that renewed her hate towards me.

"I didn't need your help, livestock." She hissed at me animus, like it never happened. She was already standing and I stood as well. I realized then that she was actually shorter than me. "This just proves no matter what size you are as a vampire, you're still HELLA strong."

I stepped back apprehensively. Crowley growled at Chess, "Chess, don't touch her or would you rather I do Descent of a Thousand Needles on you? I'd be happy to do it again."

"Descent of a Thousand Needles? That's what it's called. But he must of put more power into it. But... HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? Making a person in a state of pain to where they're inclined to do whatever you ask them. That didn't happen with me. WHAT KIND OF POWER DO VAMPIRES HAVE ANYWAY?!" I put my hands on my head as I was overthinking things. "What do I even KNOW about vampires anyway? They have fangs, red eyes, pointy ears, and suck blood... That's all. WHAT THE HELL?! Oh god, I need my computer. NOW."

Just then Chess screamed at Crowley hurtfully, "Why would you go to such lengths for her!? You called us over just to cook, and for HER! A measly human that has no worth whatsoever! A USELESS-!" Crowley slapped her in the face... hard. Her body flew to the other side of the room which was, consequently the kitchen wall. She bounced off that and hit the floor like a rag doll. She got up using her vampric speed and sped away, sobs following her like lost puppies. I have to admit what she said did hurt me, but just a little. I know she didn't mean those things because, anger can make you do a lot of things to yourself and to others. Heck, I know what it feels like to be consumed with such anger that it overrides any other emotions you feel. Anger is a strong emotion not to be played with. Ever.

I sighed. And how Chess said 'Her' with so much disdain and and dislike. If I were Crowley, I'd be pissing in my pants. Thankfully, I didn't take the brunt of the screaming but damn, that was intense. I would hate to be caught between a jealous female vampire and an angry male one. I sat on the couch with another sigh. "Horn, see to Chess." Crowley instructed Horn. She came out of the kitchen and nodded, shot me a look and left swiftly. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Geez, what's with the looks?"

I jumped in surprise when Crowley came over and sat down beside me. I cautiously looked up to see him looking softly down at me. He wasn't looking at me, but at my neck. I felt self conscious for some reason. "Does it look THAT bad?"

He frowned in concern and lightly touched my neck. I shuddered beneath his touch. "W-w-why am I so sensitive now?" He pressed on it and I yelped. He rubbed it to soothe the pain which was oddly enough working. I sighed in content and heard him ask me, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, fine I guess. Just a little bruising." I admitted, not that he couldn't see it. He looked at me sternly, "Only I get to touch your neck, got it?" I looked at him in shock. Are you serious right now? Only he does?

"Are implying you're the only one who can strangle me?" I questioned incredulously. He growled and shook his head, "I'm saying that you try your best not to get touched by other people, especially vampires. And I meant that I'm the only one who can kiss, lick, bite, suck, and mark your neck. Is that clear?"

I blushed and stuttered, "C-c-crystal." I looked down in humiliation. He just smiled and chuckled. The sound vibrated his chest and it had a nice sound to it. I wanted to hear more- Wait, WHAT! What the hell am I saying?! I want to hear more!? Like heck I do. That's just... weird. And then I felt a warm and wet thing on my neck. I-is that what I think it is? "Oh my god. It's a tongue. It's HIS TONGUE!" I thought as I glanced down and saw his head at the crook of my neck. OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY- okay I need to stop. I sound like I have turrets.

His tongue traced all around my neck, on the bruise. "W-w-what are y-you do- HIE!-ing?" I screeched in surprise when he started nibbling on the bruise. It hurt only slightly. My mantra of 'OH MY GOD' started again getting more panicked with each one. I was afraid he would bite me again, granted it didn't hurt a lot, but I didn't like it, at all. He murmured in reply, "I'm cleaning the dirty spots Chess touched."

"OH give me a break, she's female!" I squealed when he gave a long sensual lick on my bite mark from yesterday. "It doesn't matter, you're mine. I don't like other vampires touching what's mine." He told me in a stern voice.

"Since when was I yours?" I inquired confused and slightly angered. "I am NOT an OBJECT."

"Since the day I met you." He responded with conviction present in his voice. I sweat dropped. "That's creepy."

"W-well, I don't compute. And can you stop licking me, already?" I asked nicely as I could as to not anger him. If how he was yesterday, he'll growl like a dog. Which, kinda scared me. He slowly retracted his head taking his tongue with him. "You care to test that?" I gulped but then put on a strong facade. "Ye-yes."

He grinned evilly and pinned me to the couch. I squirmed. "Hey wait! St-stop it!" He started at my neck and would lightly bite down, skimming his lips across my skin. "Eeek!" His tongue lapped at my skin fervently, like he was surviving on it. "Why am I so stupid!? I could've just not replied and then everything would be alright!"

"If you want me to stop, then say you're mine." He demanded of me. Crowley continued biting, licking, and kissing my neck and furthering down towards my chest. "I can't let him reach there!"

"Okaaay! I'm yours, I'm yours! Now STOP!" I yelled at him frantically as he was nearing my breasts. He smiled and looked at me happily. I stopped yelling and started to catch my breath. He then put his head on my breasts and nuzzled them. My eyes widened and I turned red. "H-hey! Isn't this to soon?! I mean, we're not even going out yet! Much less cuddle buddies." I mumbled the last part. Still, he heard it and smiled at me.

"You want to be cuddle buddies with me?" He invited me. My jaw fell open as my face turned a deeper scarlet. "W-w-w-w-w-w-w- Oof!" I couldn't even finished as I was pushed off with in seconds. I glanced towards Crowley to ask why he pushed me off when I saw the knives. I gulped and scurried under the table. "What the hell?!"

"Chess, what did I tell you?" Crowley growled out at Chess, standing at his full height. I looked to Chess and saw her turn her face away with a, "Hmph!" She glared at me and stomped her way to the kitchen mumbling profanities. I got up and ran to the stairs, "Uh, I'll just be upstairs, applying... the healing salve, b-bye!"

I hastened up the stairs tripping on the last step. "Ouch." I muttered rubbing my sore knees from the hit. Then I scrambled to my room and went inside, putting my hand to my heart, I breathed in and out trying to calm down. Thankfully, it worked. I heard footsteps nearing my room and then finally they opened the door. It was Crowley. I sighed in relief. She shot those knives earlier. I'd hate to be anywhere near her. As of now at least. "That was Chess." He stated. I nodded, "I know."

"She can be jealous."

"I know."

"And evil."

"I know."

"And conniving."

"I know."

"You're not scared?"

"What do you think?"

"..."

"So where's the healing salve?"

"In my bathroom's shelf."

He nodded and went towards it. Wait... what was the point of that conversation before? Was he checking as to whether or not... I liked her? Maybe to become friends with her? "Ugh, my mind is so jumbled."

Me becoming friends with Chess. I pictured us running around a field of yellow flowers laughing, talking about boys, and her burning me alive on a stake. Yep, I think I answered that one. Horn... she's like me in a way. Calm and calculative. We could be friends. Only if she wanted to though. Those looks she shot me... I shuddered at the thought. Crowley strolled back inside with a container filled with beige liquid. He opened it and applied some to my bruises. I shivered from the coldness. He put bandages around them to further the healing process. Finally when he was done, my stomach growled. I flushed and looked at the corner of the room, coughing to cover any noise.

He grabbed my wrist and gently pulled me up. "Come on. I won't let them hurt you. You can eat breakfast down there." I nodded and willingly let him lead me to the table.

"Sooo... did you invite them here to cook food?" He peeked at me and looked back down the stairs. "Yes. I don't know how to cook." He admitted. "Awww, that's so cute." I giggled at that and he just grunted, a soft pink filling his face. Cute... wow that's best I could think of. If I were to describe him it'd be... hot, sexy, mouthwatering, beautiful, ele- STOP. What the hell am I thinking? God, this is why vampires are worshiped my the female population. Curse there good looks. We stopped at the already set up table and sat down. Chess sat directly in front of Crowley while Horn in front of me.

Horn was just staring at me blankly, analyzing me carefully, like if she spotted the slightest imperfection she wouldn't hesitate to eliminate me. I swallowed the bile rising in my throat and forced my eyes to Chess. She was staring at Crowley dreamily just watching him, but when she caught my gaze, she glared daggers at me. As if telling me to back off. Believe me... I would... if I could. But Crowley's hold on my hand didn't seem to relent or retract so I had to eat with one hand again which isn't what I was planning to do today. I sighed and stared at the assortments on the table.

There was rice, fried fish, miso soup and a salad that consisted of cabbage, lettuce, and carrots. The side dishes were rolled omelet, cucumber, tomato, and dried seaweed. Japanese breakfast, huh? I haven't had this in a while. I grabbed the chopsticks and dug in. The others just watched me which was freaky. After I was done, I helped put up the dishes and clean them with Horn.

"S-so...," She glanced at me in question. "Your name's Horn, right?" She nodded. "And you're Eirin Crystal."

"Yes, I am." I confirmed with her. She was washing the dishes while I was rinsing them. There wasn't a lot so we finished in 7 minutes. We were both drying our hands while I listened to Chess and Crowley talking about how to treat me. "How come you are treating her like this?! I thought she's just your whore? Not someone important to you!" Chess screamed at Crowley question. "Yep, knew it. He does have whores."

"Because... she's my mate, which therefore makes her mine." My eye twitched at the silence ensuing after that special, special, comment he oh so smartly blurted out to the world. I glanced at Horn and saw her eyes widened a fraction looking at me in shock. I just pressed my back against the counter, in an attempt to become smaller, and hopefully hide away forever. In a closet. Away. FOREVER. One could only wish. Sigh.

"MATE!" All of sudden Chess was in front of me looking all over me. "YOU ARE HIS MATE! OH MY GOD, THE WORLD HAS ENDED! OR, OR, MAYBE THIS IS A BAD DREAM! YES THAT HAS-" And then she was falling on the ground, knocked out by Horn's hand. I glanced at Horn and she was staring at me intently.

"Even if you are his mate... rest assured... you won't disappoint him, or I will kill you." She hissed at me vehemently. She walked away, her dress swishing along side her like snakes.

Thank you all, Review please! REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW! PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Melody Violet: Your welcome. And Crowley was just too occupied with Eirin. I'm glad you think it's awesome. Review again!

Kotonoha Mari-chan: Thank you and I will give them more moments! I love you too! Kisses back! Review, review! Again and again.

Guest: I know, when I was writing it, I was so excited. Yeah, but of course, they don't even know they're mates yet, so yeah. Review, my faithful reviewers!

BluePhantomRed: Yes, and I'm loving your reviews! Keep reviewing. More is coming!

Shadechu Nightray: Yep, I wanted to please my reviewers! Yeah, but not really, Ferid just meant for Crowley to keep a tab on Mika, so he doesn't go fighting for his precious family. Yeah, I thought younger but then I wanted her to be working somewhere and have a job, plus being done with college. I love making people laugh. Yep, raping is bad kids, don't do it. Yeah, I put Chess in this chapter to spice things up. It's important whether or not your husband to be is good in bed. Ya know? Yeah, no yaoi and I won't ever be doing that so rest assured this is all STRAIGHT. Yep... hot wings are magnificent. Review! =)

I just want to thank all of my reviewers, followers, and favorites. Please continue to give me support and help point out any mistakes. If the characters are too OOC, it's my fault completely so just tell me and I'll fix it. I love you guys so muuuuuuch!

P.S: I had exams last week so I had to do ALOT of note taking, which murdered my hand. Like, ALOT. Thanks for the wait and the new supporters!
