Bloody Rose ~Aidou Love Story~

Maria

It's weird seeing Aidou now and knowing that he doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. I don't want to have anything to do with him either, but it's still weird. He no longer wants to be around me. It's just as Kaname said before. I sat by the window in the normal seat all alone. Kain won't talk to me anymore. It's probably because Aidou doesn't want to be around me. I sighed resting my head in my arms. 

I wonder if this is what Zero has to go through. I wonder if every time he sees Yuuki he has to try to convince himself he doesn't love her, even though he does, because she doesn't feel the same way as him. I feel sorry for him, but at the same time I don't. How can I feel sorry for him when I'm going through the same thing? 

I watched Aidou from the corner of my eyes. There were small moments when I thought Aidou had glanced at me through the corner of his eyes in the same way I've been doing, but it's probably my imagination. He doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. Why would he bother to look over at me if he didn't? 

My mind started to wander to when Aidou broke apart from me.

~ Flashback ~

I walked down the halls, my gaze focused on the floor in front of me, only paying attention to each step I took one after the other. The moment I looked up, I saw Aidou standing not a couple feet in front of me. His eyes were set on me with a look in his eyes that I could only describe with sadness. "Kasumi, we need to talk." 

My eyes widened for a split second. "W-what is it you n-need to talk about?" I questioned, my voice becoming shaky. I started to mess with my fingers, scratching and pulling at the skin like I normally do when I'm extremely and utterly nervous. "I h-hope it isn't anything t-too bad." It was then that Aidou started avoiding my gaze. He wouldn't look me in the eyes anymore.

"That's just it." He paused, the temperature dropping like it does when he becomes angry. Was he angry at me or something? "We can no longer see each other."  My eyes started to tear up. As soon as he saw the tears in my eyes his no longer showed sadness. Now they held rage. It wasn't rage directed at me. It was towards someone else, but I didn't know who.

"W-was it something t-that I did?" The anger in his eyes grew tenfold as soon as those words left my mouth. Aidou made a move to come closer to me, but when I flinched away he stopped moving, sadness appearing in his eyes once again.

"It was nothing you did. It's really what you didn't do." My eyes widened as tears started to fall. What didn't I do? "I probably should have told you sooner." He rubbed the back of his neck, forcing a smile onto his face. I didn't noticing it was a forced smile. "I don't love you like I thought I did. I mean, why would I flirt with those other girls if my heart was really yours." My heart shattered completely in my chest. "You would think that if I did love you some weird force would stop me from going to the other girls." 

It was my turn to become angry. "What are you trying to tell me?" His smiled faded from his face and he stopped rubbing the back of his head. "Are you trying to tell me that because some weird force didn't stop you from flirting with other girls that you don't love me?" I looked up and away from Aidou in an attempt to try to keep the tears from flowing, but that didn't nothing to stop it.

I walked over to Aidou, slapping him across the face as soon as I was a good enough distance in front of him. The force of the slap stung my hand and also forced Aidou's head to the right. Aidou turned his head back to me, placing a hand over the mark on his cheek. He wasn't angry. He had this foreign. One that I haven't seen in his eyes before. I ignored it completely, not even noticing it. "You are so stupid. I hate you Hanabusa!" With that I walked away, Aidou becoming Hanabusa to me.
