Chapter 11“I don’t understand?” I stared into Riku’s shame ridden eyes .What did he mean werewolf? Was there such a thing? If there are vampires is it just like in the books and movies, werewolves, a vampire’s worst enemy?
“Hunters are just a group or organization that is for the extermination of vampires. Werewolves are born for the extermination of vampires.” Ichigo’s words rummaged around in my mind. What does this mean? “Princess please listen, he tried to kill you because he slipped up, he let his instincts get the better of him. He must have been fighting back the urge for a very long time. Werewolves mature at the age of 14, he must be the same age as you so it’s been 2 years right?”
“Yes, it was another reason I wanted to leave the organization. I didn’t want to be used as some tool, to kill those who had befriended my parents. It had been a day or two after I had met you, Alice, that I began to change. It was very painful…” He trailed off in thought.
“That’s terrible;” I spoke softly and Riku’s eyes widened “you were all alone, no one was there to help you. You had no one. Unlike me. You were always there Riku, every time.” My eyes began to well with tears, “I’m so sorry, I wasn’t there for you.” My voice cracked mid sentence, and the tears began to fall. I wish he wouldn’t have been alone. How scary it must have been. I couldn’t even imagine what it would have been like for me…
“Please, Princess, do not shed tears for me. After what I have done… It is unforgivable.” He held my head in his hand.
“It wasn’t your fault Riku, it is just a part of you. But I understand how you feel.” He gazed at my face whipping away a tear. “I never wanted to ever hurt you, but I am a vampire. It is a part of who I am. If you wish to hurt me go ahead and hurt me, if it doesn’t matter that I bite you then it doesn’t matter if you bite me.”
“I –” Riku began but I hushed his lips by giving him a soft kiss. This was the most I have ever felt like a woman. No, not a teenage girl in love, no, a woman.
“ I won’t let you be alone any longer, Riku.”
“Neither will I let you, Princess” I gave him one more kiss before I went back into the darkness of my mind. I was alone again, but I knew that outside, in reality Riku was right there. Waiting for me, like usual, to wake up.
Now I had time to think, about what just happened. Which both sucked and intrigued.
I hadn’t realized it until now, but both Ichigo and Riku were calling me Princess. What does that mean? How did I nearly kill Ichigo with my mind alone? But first off since when do I have any powers at all?! And on that subject as I had my own conflict with myself; came a stupid thought “Damn that would have made my life so much easier, I could do all my chores without lifting a finger!”
When I wake up, how will I act? As if nothing happened? Do I act like everything is out of the bag? Should I say little inside jokes like calling Riku a dog?(maybe I should hold off on that, he doesn’t call me a bat…) Oh and then the biggest one of all; we kissed (repeatedly) how should I act now? Lovey dovey or embarrassed as usual?
Subsequently that got me thinking of Riku. Images of his face played in my mind, but none of them did him justice. How I longed to see his beautiful face, his dirty blonde hair and his piercing emerald eyes. How I wanted to hold his hand and give him a kiss and see him blush.
Then the horror images played. After I had kissed his hand my eyes turned crimson and I bit fiercely into his neck. He cringed away from me but he kept still. That’s when I realized that Riku would do that. He would always be willing to be there for me.
The light came again and I reached out toward it. My eyes slowly opened…
Riku was asleep holding my hand, his head laid on my shoulder. Ichigo was by my feet, his face looked like it had been implanted in the bed. I let out a small giggle. For a very long minute I just wanted to enjoy the moment. I breathed in the sweet smell of Riku, it tingled in my nose.
I slowly moved my way around both Ichigo and Riku, and got out of bed. I was hungry… I was in the mood for eggs and bacon…
I slowly crept down the stairs and made my way into the kitchen. I opened up the steel doors to the rather large fridge. It was loaded with all sorts of goodies and it had exactly what I needed. I started with the bacon using a full pack. Men are happiest when full I chuckled to myself. As the bacon was cooking in the oven, I started on an omelet. Onions, potatoes, tomatoes, cheese, garlic (lots and LOTS of garlic), and some herbs I found in the fridge. After I had taken the omelet of the oven, to let it cool; while the bacon was still cooking, Riku came down the stairs in a rush scurrying around like he was searching.
“Ummm, good morning…” I said chipper. Riku spun around rapidly, probably shocked by my voice tone. Maybe I should play it out differently… well I’ll keep with the chipper-ness…“Do you want an omelet and bacon?” I shot him a big smile. He just blinked.
He began to casually walk towards me. I gazed at him while he made his way to stand next to me. He reached out to touch my face, but before he could he began to pull away his hand. I grabbed his hand lightly; out of some weird instinct. I put his hand on my face. I could feel the warmth that his body gave off, it made me feel “at home”. Swiftly, Riku pulled me into his chest, wrapping his arms around me securely, like he never wanted to let go…
“What’s wrong...? Riku?” I was caught slightly off guard by the sudden embrace he had me in.
“Please never leave me.” His tone was soft, and also almost scared.
I softened my face and tone to match his “Why would I ever leave the man I love?” I stood on my toes and rapped my arms around his neck and gave him a light kiss however he kissed me back more passionately then I did. The electricity that it sent through my body was amazing! I felt his heart beating against my chest, how I loathed for this moment to never end… But sadly all things that are ever any good do…
“Oh, GAWD get a room!” Ichigo said, ruining my moment. Both me and Riku stiffened and resumed back to the embrace, except now I was facing forward. The second Riku would turn around I think I might kill Ichigo, or send him across the room like I did before if I can remember how… hehehe…
“Do you want to burn the bacon?” Ichigo glared at me.
“I want to burn more than just the bacon…” I mumbled and I could feel Riku chuckle. Riku now held his hands around my waist while I moved about the kitchen to get everything set up for breakfast.
“Omelet and bacon enjoy!” I served myself and Riku a plate.
“Where’s mine?” Ichigo asked appalled.
“Make your own.” I said irately, with a hint of “I’m going to kill you, you bastard.”
Ichigo went and fixed himself a plate and we sat down at the big dinner table.
“Why did you and him” I pointed with my eyebrows at Ichigo; “keep calling me princess?” I asked Riku, as he played with, my hair.
“That’s because you are.” He still fondled with my hair. “Your mother and father were, and I believe still are the “King and Queen” of the vampires. You come from a long line of—”
“Hey! What the hell are you saying?!?!” Ichigo interrupted. “I thought that it was agreed that she wouldn’t know, till—”
“Oh would you SHUT UP!” I butted in, “If you haven’t already figured out, any pre arrangements, or whatever; have now been thrown out the door, and why would you want to keep secrets from me anyways?” I thought for a second about his somewhat weird love confession kiss and his sleep talking; but shook it out my head quickly. “So unless you have something you want to tell me, shut up” Riku was as natural as ever, now he was braiding my hair… I liked it.
“You come from a long line of vampires. Your family possesses the most power out of all the vampire clans that have ever aroused. So that is why they are called the King and Queen of the vampires or the vampire royalty. You being their daughter makes you the princess.
“The Hunters don’t even know you exist.”
“What about when they attacked us at the hotel?” I asked curiously.
“Trust me; with the power that runs through your veins, they would have brought 10 times the amount of people with them.”
“I see, so how exactly do I use this ‘power’? ”
“ I don’t really know… My guess is you must focus all your energy on what you wish to do and you can pretty much do whatever you wish to do.”
I turned my head too face Riku.“Really? So if I focused really hard on you kissing me would that be possible?”
“Of course.” Riku leaned down and kissed me on the lips lightly.
“Ahem.” Ichigo choked.
“What? Jealous are we?” Riku smirked and Ichigo’s face lit up like a red ballon.
“Bulls eye” I teased. He was about to get up before I said “Wait let me try something…”
I put my hands out in front of me, my fingers spread and my eyes closed. I could feel my ‘energy’, it was in my hands like a ball. I sent that ball to Ichigo and let that ball morph and grab hold of him lightly. I began to slowly lift my hand up…
“OH MY GOD! PUT ME DOWN!” Ichigo shrieked.
“Amazing…” Riku spoke astound.
I guessed it was working, that’s when I got creative…teehee.
