I don’t even understand how we ca down to this topic. I stared at Ai who had her eyes full of tears staring down. Normally, if she were like this, she would have already been falling on and holding tight but right now she wanted none of that. I myself had a hard ti understanding how to even take care of this situation.
I am not used to arguing with most people. Normally if I find it to be too botherso I just let them ramble and agree with things but that wasn’t sothing I could do right now. Most of it boils down to that I care about Ai so much that I can’t just ignore things she is telling . Every word of her was hitting like a bullet but I couldn’t allow myself to be a re bullet sponge here.
"I never said that there is anything wrong in loving soone for so reason," I retaliated. "This wasn’t even the topic of the discussion but if we have co to this, I am not asking you to justify why you love so much. Whatever your reasons may be, or they may not be isn’t important in this context. I too have no reason why I am so crazy about you."
"Then why is it not the sa as ?" she asked, her voice still full of anger and pain. "Why do I not see you acting towards the way I do to you? Treat other people how you want to be treated right, then where is my reward for that?"
"Ai, as much as I would love to, you and I are different people and just because I can’t show my love to you the way you do doesn’t an I love you any less. You understand that right?" I spoke. "Moreover, the topic was about you acting that way towards Natsumi-san. Why are we even discussing this?"
"Don’t change try to change the subject," she ordered.
I wasn’t even the one who changed the subject in the first place.
"You are the one who changed the subject in the first place. This wasn’t even the topic we started talking about," I tried to reason with her. "And if you want to stick to this topic, fine. Again, I never said there is anything wrong with loving soone without any good reasons. To repeat myself, I am a living example of it."
"Then why don’t you understand?!" she said. "Why are you putting yourself in trouble and danger? It would have been a lot better if you stayed here safely and just let protect you. That is my duty to do so."
"Because I don’t want to be a sitting duck and let you do everything. I myself have so pride to just sit and have you protect all this ti. I don’t like to be weak either," I said leaning towards her. If I am close enough to give her a surprise hug, it may get better. Physical affection is the best way to calm Ai.
"Yes and see what happened? You are still not as strong as in our training battle and I was even holding back," she said.
"So, I should have just sat and waited for others to go and save you? Well, I am sorry but I am not that patient when sothing like that happens to you. Moreover, you said in that state you begged for to co save you so why are you even angry at ?" I tried reasoning with her but it seed to make matters worse. "Please Ai, why are you so agitated?"
"Because I am scared!" she yelled again holding herself. "I am scared of losing you. When…when I thought you were gone, I couldn’t think straight. Those few days I had without you were worse than hell! I don’t to feel like that again!"
"Then say that," I said in a calr voice seeing the argunt coming to a much better conclusion. "It’s okay to be scared about it, I know how it felt. When you were taken away, my sleep was completely destroyed, every second felt like a minute. I know that feeling Ai."
Just one more push and I will be able to calm her down. I need to keep this up. Don’t give in to her taunts anymore.
"If you would have understood, you would just stay put and let take care of it all," she spoke in a calr voice but her words still stung to .
I took a deep breath and rubbed my forehead. This argunt was getting to a bit. I need to calm down.
"Rubbing your forehead? Is dealing with that much of a headache to you?!" she shouted again and I internally groaned in frustration. Right at that mont sothing just snapped in my head.
"Maybe it is!" I yelled back at her surprising the both of us. Imdiately realizing what I just did I covered my mouth but it looked like the damage was already done. The look on Ai’s dropped and she leaned away from before getting off the bed.
"If that is the case, then I will just leave," she said and ran out of the room.
I didn’t say anything, I couldn’t. I was frozen in the place. I and no idea what kind of face I was making but I knew there wasn’t sothing I did before. Getting suddenly back into my senses I ran after her but it was already too late. Ai was no longer around. The door was closed but the window in the living room was wide open. I peeped out of the window to see where she was even using my heightened senses but I couldn’t find her around.
"Akira!" I shouted and the noble appeared right before in an instant. She looked confused seeing but didn’t ask what happened.
"What do you require to do Kazuki-sama?" she asked bowing but I didn’t have ti for the formalities.
"Find where Ai is, now!" I hastily ended up yelling at her which surprised her too but she closed her eyes and started sensing. I was tapping my feet on the floor impatiently. I hurt Ai with my words, she ran away and I don’t know where she is. I need to find her before dusk or I don’t know what might happen. We are not even sure if Dominic is still around so she can be an easy target. "It’s all my fault. I had to say those words. I’m such an idiot!"
I looked at Akira and she was trying to concentrate but looks like my rambling was making it hard for her so I shut up. I would have wished that she would have said sothing about it herself though. That is not the ti to worry right now. I have to find Ai as soon as I can.
"Found her," Akira said opening her eyes. "She is- "
"I don’t care, take there right now," I cut her off, and the next mont we were in the middle of what looked like the streets of Shibuya. How did she even end up coming here this quick? Now is not the ti to think about it. "Where is Ai?" I asked Akira.
"She is sowhere around, I am sorry Kazuki-sama, since there are so many people around, I am unable to pinpoint her actual place. I shall conduct a search right away," she said closing her eyes and I did the sa. I heightened my senses and started searching for her.
People, people, people, ugh…why are there so many people here right now? It is not even ti for the office job hours to end. I continued searching wanting to find Ai. Check every place, shops, streets, alleyways, roofs, and even the sewer system running below. Ai has to be sowhere here. I can hear their heartbeats, their conversation, and even the way they breathe. It’s all humans here, Ai’s heart beats differently, it is much faster than a normal human but slower than a vampire. I felt it before when she pounced at .
"There…" I muttered as I could finally pinpoint a signal of a heart beating faster than all of the other. I opened my eyes and looked at Akira and why the look on her face, it seed like she also ca to the sa conclusion. I nodded at her and we jumped up onto the roof and started jumping, one building after another.
She was close, but she started moving too. Even as a half-vampire, how can she move that fast? If this keeps up, we will not be able to catch up to her. I clicked my tongue and took a deep breath. I locked eyes with Akira one last ti before I kicked the roof below as hard as I could and jumped over three buildings at once. I looked to the side to realize I wasn’t really very discrete with it because so people saw . Please handle this for , Akira.
Deciding to ignore it, I was gaining speed on her and she looked like she stopped. I sped up even more, my legs not being able to keep up too much and already hurting like hell but I will not let go of this.
"Found her!" I exclaid seeing her silhouette in the distance which I quickly closed in but I did forget to take into consideration one thing.
How will I stop at this speed?
"OUT OF THE WAY!!" I shouted at her before I found myself looking at a brick wall.
