The Vampire Princess and The werewolf Prince (Yuu San & Aims)

Aiko took a bath, dismissing her maids early. She wanted to be alone. The idea of going to an actual school made her stomach ache. She didn't like other people most the time. She was too quiet and too gentle. People tended to run over her. Aiko thought about the school more as she slipped into her night clothes, sitting in the giant bed.

She would be away from her sister most the day. Surely they wouldn't have the same classes. Aiko honestly didn't know what she would do outside of her protected family circle. She was sure there would be guards around, but she dreaded finding someone to talk to.

Aiko fell asleep slowly, lost in thought.

Ichiro spent the rest of the night ignoring Kai. It was childish to be mad at him, and even more to ignore him. But he just didn't feel like dealing with the man. He ate dinner and sent himself to bed early, tucking a book under his arm. His maids got his clothes all laid out for the next day and then left him alone.

Ichiro plotted his plan, feeling more excited by the minute. He fell asleep quickly, smiling.

Oh my goodness! How did it go?

Everything alright?

So the guy in my character picture is Howl. Do you know Howl?

"I am fascinated by the entire species," she said, taking the hint that her sister wanted to be alone. She was ready to go to her room, meaning Aiko's time was up. She stood out of her seat and walked towards the door.

"For the sake of peace, at least think about getting to know him. You're shooting him down too fast, baby sister." With that, Aiko asked the maid to prepare her a bath and left the room.

"For a friend, you are more often against me than for me," Ichiro muttered, rubbing his head. "You realize I can make you do whatever I want. You've seen it done. I can do it now. But you're my friend. Have been since birth. I would prefer you willingly support me."

The car came to a stop, and Kai let himself out. He walked himself to the door and into the palace. One of the maids stood by the door, grinning at him as he walked him. Most of the maids around the house fancied him.

"Little angel, would you please send word to the kitchen to have dinner ready? I'm starving," he said, touching her chin. The girl nearly fainted. Ichiro let her go and she nearly fell over herself running to the kitchen.

Ichiro knew how he would win the princess's attention. He would make her jealous.

"Nothing is wrong," Aiko said, going to sit down. She didn't want to anger her sister. She didn't know what she wanted. "I'm just worried is all." Honestly, she was a little worried about making the Prince mad. She had seen his face when he left. Mad didn't begin to cover what Ichiro had been. Aiko wasn't scared of the wolves, but the species were walking on a fine line between war and peace.

"How did it go?"

****

Ichiro crossed his arms.

"Stop acting like a servant, Kai. I don't need you to open doors or tell the driver where to go. I can do all that myself." He snapped. "I couldn't get through to her. But I will get her attention." He stared out the window. "I'm not sure how. But I will."

Ichiro stood slowly, done with this entire conversation. If she wanted to ve like this, he could play her game. He would find a way to get her attention with out ever speaking to her.

"As you wish, your majesty," he said with a polite smile and walked out. He caught Kai hanging around the door and bit his lip not to snap at him. "We are leaving," Ichiro said quietly to his friend, walking quickly in the direction they had come.

Aiko raced down the stairs, nearly running into the two men. She came to a quick stop, frowning at them both.

"Safe travels," she muttered, "We will see you both soon." With that, she ran past them and into the throne room, shutting the door behind her.

"You don't even know me!"Ichiro replied, throwing his hands up. The girl was relentless. "Shouldn't you get to know me before you make an assumptioj?" He wasn't used to nor being liked. Other than his occasional rude comment, Ichiro was an okay person. He was respected back at home, liked even. "And I'm sure Kai would be your friend. He would do anything for my father. As would I. Clearly."

"Can we just ignore species for a minute?" He asked, sort of snappy. Ichiro rubbed his temple and took a deep breath. "Maybe if we forget that we are different, we can learn to like one another. There has to be something we have in common." Ichiro realized how corny it was, but he meant it. He really wanted to be able to get along with her.

Aiko smiled to herself at her sister. Always trying to be better. She could of handled the marriage. Kikiyo didn't need to me a martyr.
