I grinned to myself, peering out the window. Full moon, perfectly clear, stars bright.
Perfect night for Hide-and-Seek Tag.
I hurried to the main room.
"Guys! Guys! Look outside!" I waved my arms.
Senri, Rima, Ruka and Kain all looked at me blankly.
"It's dark outside." Ruka deadpanned.
"Well duh," I rolled my eyes. "But it's perfectly clear! It's a perfect night-" I bounced over to Senri, ruffling his mahogany hair. "For," I ruffled Kain's hair. "Hide-and-Seek Tag!" I stood in front of them, hands on my hips proudly.
"Did you get sugar?" Senri asked flatly.
I deflated. "C'mon, guys~ I'm bored, and not every day's like this," I pulled on my puppy-dog face. "I already asked the Headmaster, and he said it's fine~ so can we play? PLEEEAASE?"
"She's never going to shut up, is she?" Ruka turned her attention away.
"Probably not." Rima stuck a piece of pocky in Senri's mouth.
I never understood why she did that. He's perfectly capable of feeding himself!
"We'll play." Kain yawned.
"Tank you tank you!" I hugged him tightly.
"Ahem." The sound of a very jealous vampire snapped me out of my thoughts.
"We're gonna play Hide-and-Seek Tag! You got'sa play too!" I begged Takuma.
He blinked, then grinned. "Did you have sugar?"
"Why do people keep asking me that?!" I asked, frustrated. "I might've had two Hershey Kisses, but still-"
"Only two?" Ruka asked.
"Maybe eight..." I trailed off. "But whatever! Lemme find Seiren and Aido."
I ran out of the room, yelling their names at the top of my lungs.
All the present vampires winced.
"Remind me to hide all her American candy." Takuma muttered.
"Kay, here's the rules!" I said.
Takuma, Hanabusa, Akatsuki, Senri, Rima, Ruka and Seiren all watched me.
No, I couldn't get Kaname. I knocked on his door and he told me to get lost.
My feelings are so injured right now...
"One person starts out IT, and has to count to forty. Everyone hides, and the first person IT finds and tags is IT. Vampire powers can be used. Everyone got it?"
Nods.
"Okay! Let's see who's IT." We drew lots, and it turned out to be Seiren.
She started at the tallest tree around, and we soon scattered, Seiren counted to forty with her eyes closed, then the game began.
...
I climbed up a tree, my eyes growing accustomed to the darkness. Before, I had crashed into at least 3 trees, cursing when I hit my head on a branch twice.
With a sigh, I pulled out a bobby pin from my pocket and pulling my bangs out of my eyes.
Better. I can see now.
I scanned the area, and finding nothing, decided to hang around the tree.
My feet had barely hit the ground when something tackled me from behind.
I let out a muffled yelp, stumbling a couple steps.
"Shh!" Aido clapped a hand to my mouth.
"Mmph!" I stopped moving, and he released me.
"What? It's better not to stay together!" I hissed.
"Ruka's IT. I wanted to tell you." Aido said.
"Thanks." I replied.
He started to say something else, when I saw a flash of brown.
"Duck!" I shoved him back, jumping back a half second later. Something white and orange flew past us, closely followed by a flash of brown.
Ruka!
I turned and ran for my life, fearful she would ditch Kain and go after me. I was slower, after all.
Stupid half-blood.
I suddenly tripped over a root, and went sailing, tumbling roughly across the ground. A light hand hit my shoulder.
"Tag, Angel-san."
Ruka.
Great.
I groaned, sitting up dizzily. "Got it." I mumbled.
Trusting I wouldn't immediately tag her, Ruka nodded once then vanished.
I rubbed my eye and fixed my pin in my hair.
Let's go find a Vampire. I'll have to be quick and silent, since once they know I'm there, I'll never get them.
I did a slow 360, eyes scanning for anything unnatural. The white suits helped, but I wasn't a full vampire either, so no helpful eyesight.
This sucks...
I started walking, hoping that I wouldn't be the tagger the whole night.
Why did I ever suggest this?
Fin~
No real fluff in this one, but that's how it goes sometimes~either that, or I'm too lazy to put some in
Day 19: Snuggling during a storm.
Now that will have a lot of fluff.
Review, my lovelies~
