Kaida Endo: (Picking up the glass, she looked up from her scroll and seen Tsubasa standing there with a sneer…) "I am sorry that I did not hear you. I have just been trying to keep myself busy while we await Aya and Bai's awakening."
Tsubasa Endo: (Looking back with an equally evil grin as he drank from his own glass…) "I know you are worried but remember to eat you know. I know you like to write down the current events but take care of yourself as well."
Kaida Endo: "I know. But when I get overwhelmed, I tend to absorb myself in my work and studies. It has always been this way, you know that."
Tsubasa Endo: "I know. I wish you would let me help you more. But that stubborn streak of yours, it always seems to win out."
Reaching his hand out, he cupped her cheek, running his thumb across her lips. She shyly looked down at his gesture. He gave a pleading look as his vampire impulse was beginning to kick in again. Taking a chance, he tried leaning in and kissing her cheek. Managing to do so, she became slightly flustered, her cheeks burned bright red from embarrassment. Leaning in once again, he took yet another chance and kissed her on the lips. Bringing her hands to her face, she tried her best to cover her burning cheeks. This was the first kiss she had ever been given and she had no idea how to react to it. Knowing their ways, it was not wrong, but she was just so embarrassed. She secretly hoped she could past it. Tsubasa smiled at her with a devilish grin. He had finally made the first move and was feeling rather proud of himself. He only hoped that she would not be put off by his advances. Though she did not fight him on the kiss just now, so that gave him faint hope.
Botan came in about ten minutes later, checking to see how Kaida was fairing. She had not left the library most of the day after all. Sneaking up behind her, he lightly kissed her cheek. Startled she turned with her back to the desk as she looked at him and then Tsubasa. She just stared at both of them not knowing what to say. They were both clearly taking advantage of the fact that she was alone in the room. They both got an evil grin upon their faces as she knew they were up to no good. Taking up her left hand, Botan placed a ring upon her finger. It was the very ring she had drawn out. He stated to her what the meaning of the ring was about.
Botan Date: "I know that you have seen this symbol many times and nothing has ever been explained on it. I decided to have it made. The stones in it represent each of us. That includes Aya and Bai. Each leaf has a stone in it. In the drawing, only part of the leaves could be seen."
Tsubasa Endo: "The ring from my very first vision. You finally had it made up. So, you feel each of the stones in the leaves is a representation of each of us. Eight stones, one in each of the leaves. I cannot believe it. The ring is incredibly beautiful."
Kaida Endo: (Staring down at her hand as Botan held onto it…) "It is beautiful. I cannot believe you finally made it. Even my visions were not giving me any details on this rings gifting. I only had the design, and all of us wearing the same style standing in the main hall. Though at the time, Aya and Bai were not included in the drawing."
Botan Date: (Taking her hand, he moved it to his lips and kissed the tips of her fingers lightly. Grinning as she flushed with embarrassment…) "Well I just figured it was time to have the rings made. I took measurements of everyone a while back. Knowing it would take a long time to have eight identical rings made in everyone's size."
Tsubasa Endo: (Taking a look at the ring upon Kaida's finger, he looked at the design in awe…) "I was wondering why you did that that time. You were measuring our fingers. I must say, the ring turned out beautiful. It mirrors the design she drew perfectly."
Kaida Endo: "I cannot believe you actually had all eight made up. They are just so beautiful. I guess we can present all of them tomorrow after their awakening. It should be nearing the full forty-five to fifty-hour mark after all. After they get a bath in and fed, we can present them in the main hall for everyone."
Botan Date: (Taking her right hand his, he held it tightly…) "That would be just wonderful. But for now, keep yours on. I presented to you in front of Tsubasa to help quell any discontent between us. I know the vampire side of you is fighting even now."
Tsubasa Endo: "Yes you are right it is. I have no choice but to share and I know it. But you can at least not be a braggart about it. I also had something for Kaida made. But it has not been delivered to the house yet. It is a vine necklace to match the ring drawing. The only thing left is to match the jewels in the ring. So, it may take longer to get here now. But I think you are fine with that."
Kaida Endo: "You had a necklace made to match the ring design. I do not even know what to say at this point. I cannot believe you went through the trouble. I cannot wait to see how it turns out."
Reaching up, Kaida wrapped an arm around each one of their necks. Bringing their faces to her level, she planted a kiss on each of them. Staring at Kaida with surprised looks, Kaida just grinned and laughed lightly as she began to tease them a little more. Letting go of them, she turned back around and picked up her glass that was still half full and finished it off. With the day coming to an end, she headed to her room and grabbed up a set of night kimonos to change into. Both Tsubasa and Botan tried to follow her in, but she locked the door before they could enter. Kaida snickered as she heard them both sighing on the other side of the door in defeat. She took about an hour-long bath and got out. Getting dressed, she walked out of the room and headed for her room. Climbing into bed, she tucked herself under the covers and laid down. Falling asleep, she dreamed of all the things that were to possibly come. Once again, Tsubasa crawled into her bed about four hours later. Taking up his normal position, he once again, grabbed a lock of her hair and held onto it.
Sitting in his chair once again, Botan fell asleep while thinking about the things that would need to be done. Waking up a few hours later, he crawled into his bed as his neck had finally started to hurt from the cramped position. Their following morning, everyone gathered in Aya and Bai's room. It was now nearing roughly forty-six hours in. Both the girls began to stir even harder as their eyes shot open glowing a light red, their fangs grew fast as they marched in pain. Dai and Kano were right there with the bottles that had been prepped, they poured some of the contents into their mouths. Finally calming down with the first surge of thirst, they grabbed the bottles from them and downed them. With their awakening a success as well. Kaida took them to the baths to get cleaned up. Helping them into their clean kimonos, she helped tie their hair back as well into a mature style. Once they were finished, they headed towards the throne room. Kaida took her place in the throne chair and waited for Botan to enter with the rings that had been made. This would be a great awakening gift.
