The cold wind bit at Autumn's soft, warm skin as she stood before the old, forgotten cemetery gates. Rust covered the hinges and the two gates looked like they were barely staying on their hinges. As if the slightest touch would send them crashing to the cold, stone path behind them. Dead, brown, vines hung lifelessly onto the bars and some drooped over the top.
Autumn pulled her dark, blue cloak tighter around herself and pulled on the edges of the hood. Gripping the shovel's wooden pole harder until her knuckles were a ghostly white, she used her covered shoulder to slowly push open the graveyard's gate. A loud squeal, forced her to stop and look around quickly in a panic. Then she looked to the relatively small gap she had made and squeezed her small body through. Rust flakes fell onto her cloak as she pushed past the gate.
Looking for the oldest grave, her bare feet made no sound as she waked along the ice cold, stone path. Her blood red dress was old and torn in some places. Autumn did not come from a very rich family but they used to be. Their estate was huge and their house was three stories with many, many rooms. Her mom often held grand dances though they did not nessacarily have the money to pay for them. Autumn's mother usually persuaded her sister's husband to pay for them. But now they were falling into deep debt and the only way that Autumn could think of helping was by..grave robbing.
So she silenty crept down aisle upon aisle in search for the oldest one. Soon she came upon a stone that had broken in half and weeds covered the half of the stone that still stood.
Nodding to herself, she chose this one and slammed the pointed end of the shovel into the hard-packed earth. Finally after several hours of digging, she slammed her shovel onto something hard as a loud clang sounded. Sighing with relief, she threw her shovel onto the edge of the hole and bent down next to the coffin. Brushing the dirt off the top, she came upon a golden cross embedded into the wooden coffin. Grinning at her discovery, she pried it off rather easily as she did however, a cold, hard blowing wind blew across the top of the now open grave. The hood was blown off her head as the wind started to die down and her dirty blonde hair fell down the front of her shoulders in loose curls.
Inspecting the cross, she didnt notice the sharp edges and hissed quietly when she cut the palm of her hand. Blood dripped onto the coffin's lid then soaked into the coffin though Autumn took no notice. Tossing the cross next to her shovel, she looked back at the coffin before bending down. Slowly putting her hands on the edge of the coffin's lid, she pushed it open then cried out in disgust and surprise as she fell backwards and hit the dirt wall behind her. Putting her hand over her nose and mouth, her eyes watered at the horrid, rotting smell that emitted from the coffin.
A man lied insde with tattered up clothes hanging off bones and rotting flesh covered some places on the body. The eyes were gne and in their place were worms squriming wildly from being disturbed. Coughing from the horrid smell, Autumn dug her dirt covered hands into the grass and pulled herself up as if the man would come back to life and grab her. Then she picked up te shovel and within half an hour had the hole refilled with dirt. Grabbing the cross, she ran for home and wouldnt stop till she was safe in her room.

The coffin that had been disturbed slowly began to creek, the rotten corpse began to have flesh strung back on to the barren bones. The life of blood had been given to the man, after a grueling hour the man clawed away at the grave dirt emerging at the surface. He let out blood curdling scream as he gasped and felt his body as well as his face. He continued to be dazed scent a strange scent on the grass near him, weak he crawled from the dirt and smelled the spot and couldn't help but become hungry once more. He licked the grass desperate to find more of it. He felt his face and felt his bandages on his face had rotted off along with is duster coat. Weak and unaware of what time or day it was the only thing that mattered to him was to get clothed and feed. He was glad that it was night time and it was raining, the mud washed off his pale skin revealing a scar on his slightly muscular chest. He caught wind of someone walking by he heard screams knowing someone had spotted him, in an unearthly speed he caught up with the person and found it was a young man. All Kenji could see were the veins in his neck and hearing the sound of his heart beat; he tried to control himself and lost his self. He attacked the man his hand forming claws he gashed the mans throat him unable to scream. He sunk his fangs into the bleeding throat and gorged himself and felt his strength returning. Immediately the mans memory flooded into him, he could see and the became orientated to what era it was. When he finished the man was nothing more then a disfigured human body. He dropped he mutilated corpse stealing the clothes that he was wearing leaving him bare. He hated doing this but at the moment he couldn't risk it. He fled smelling the air and saw the sun rising in the sky, he growled. He unlike normal vampire could be in sunlight without it killing him. However he was completely defenseless and was no more different then a human; in the sunlight him being a vampire was exposed as well, his grey eyes were illuminated, and they were of an inhuman hue. In prolonged exposure to sunlight he would be burned and set afire. He fled to the safety of a stone tomb in the grave yard. He entered it letting his clawed hand rake against the stone leaving five claw marks on the opening. He shut the tomb escaping the sun rays and when twilight fell he would find the one that revived him.
Autumn had a very restless night, fille with nightmares of the corpse in the coffin. The rotting smell never left her nose and the horrible sight filled her mind. Early in the morning, her maid, Annie, stopped by to check up on her but Autumn sent her away not feeling well. Though she spent the rest of the day, sitting up in bed and finally forced herself up as Annie came back with food.
"Ms. Quinn, your mother is quite concerned and wishes you to join them for dinner." Annie said as she sat down a small tray with steaming tea and some small snacks on the side. Autumn looked at Annie then waved her away and slipped from her bed. Paler than her usual fair shade, she went to the window and opened it up. The winter air bit at her delicate skin as she looked out onto the fields and to the woods beyond.
Night soon fell and she was quick to close the windows and light a candle. Looking over at the now cold tea and snacks, feeling sick to her stomach as she thought of food. Then she went over to her wardrobe and opened it up, picking out a deep, blood red dress to wear down to dinner. No doubt her mother had invited a man over so that they could take a liking to Autumn and ask her for her hand. Stepping out of her night clothes, she slipped into her dress and called Annie in to sinch up her corset. Dreadful thing it was but she managed not to complain and tied back her hair washing her face. Then she braided her shoulder-length, wavy, dirty blonde hair tieing in some gold ribbons. Then her wavy bangs were swept to the side and she decided to go barefoot as much as her mother would scold her for it.
Autumn quickly descended the staircase and went to the heavy, wooden front door and opened it as there was a knocking. Looking out, she came face to face with a handsome young man not much older than herself.

Kenji sighed as he let the stone door scratch open he looked at the night sky as his grey eyes soon turned red. He scanned the ground hearing busy noises and heard what appeared to be as sirens. He had murdered an innocent by stander and let alone he was wearing clothes that did not fit him. He was glad however his strength returned to him. He felt the clothes and relived that the man had a hooded cloak, he eyed the ground and caught wind of the one who revived him, scent. He licked his lips and sped out from the tomb escaping the eyes of many and managed to scale up a drain pipe and onto a building. He continued to look at the strange place unaware of what was going on and his sense of time still distorted despite his new gained knowledge of things. He covered his face and jumped to the next building he was grateful that the building were close to each other, and relived that he was on the path to discover the one that was kind enough to bring him back. He smiled secretly to himself curious to know what his savoir desired in return. He hoped it wouldn't be much if the person was male. And if it was a woman, he smiled and almost felt his heart jump inside his chest. He grinned and stopped as he landed a good 15 feet behind a lavishly yet rundown manor estate. He saw a man and then his eyes narrowed as he saw a woman around what would have been his age if the "event" did not take place. He was frozen in time, and yet when the woman seemed to spark an unknown love in him. He felt his heart beat as he looked at the woman. "This is the one that revived me? but how can this be? she lives in such a lavish manor? with maids none the less. And this young man? Did she revive me for the sole intent on making me her slave? I must find out."He thought in his head and he stood there in the distance his red eyes glowing, he at the moment did not particularly care who or whom saw him. For the moment his eyes were fixated on this woman. "her" he said as he first spoke in decades his voice flowed from his lips with a dark yet warm sensation. His eyes locked on this dirty blonde haired woman, with her red dress.
Autumn looked at the man and took in his appearance but she didnt look well compared to her mother an father who were sitting at the table with them. Margrett Quinn, had insisted that this man, Ryan Turner, sit beside Autumn. Though she found no joy in the idea and stayed relatively quiet throughout dinner except for when Ryan asked her a question. Last nights events still haunted her and she wasnt feeling too well, as well as lacking much needed sleep. Then she noticed her older sister was missing from the table and she looked around but found no trace of her being there.
Henry Quinn, her father, noticed and offered her a small, reassuring smile. "Im sorry dear your sister has stepped out for the evening," he informed her quietly so as to not interuppt the conversation between Ryan and Margrett. Autumn looked disappointed and nodded. When the main course was brought out, she lifted the silver lid off of her tray and let out a startled cry. Quickly pushing back her chair and taking several steps away from the table. Putting her hand over her nose and staring wide eyed at the rotted meat on her plate. A foul stench drafted up from it and maggots could be seen inside of it. Ryan was up in a second to comfort Autumn which she pushed away and quickly excused herself. Henry was storming into the kitchen demanding answers and Margrett was apologizing to Ryan with sickened glances at the rotting meat that was only on Autumn's plate.
Autumn quickly ascended the stairs and escaped into the safety of her bedroom, slamming the door shut. The paleness had returned to her face and she no longered looked any where near to being well. Unsure if it was some sick joke, she slid down her door and sat at the base with her head in her hands. "Did someone see me in the cemetery?" she asked quietly. Her voice a soft, addicting melody.

Kenji heard startled screams as he was outside of the manor. In an instant he ran to the nearest building jumping onto the building. In a window he saw the dirty blonde woman against the door. He looked through it and saw that she was awfully pale. His red glowing eyes continued to watch her through the window. He smiled seeing that there was a porch, quickly and quietly he jumped to the balcony porch and observed the woman with the red eyes.
With quiet movements he continued to watch her and could make out the words did someone see me in the graveyard. The words puzzled Kenji why would someone that wanted to bring him back become so worried about whom saw her. After all he was a vampire that in sunlight wouldn't burst into flames immediately. He glanced as the woman seemed troubled, he placed a pale white hand onto the glass of the window longing for an answer. A ghostly hand could be seen on the other side of the window, a figure clad in all black followed by red eyes. He continued to think as he saw her, he heard a loud thud again and it started the vampire, not knowing it was his own heart again. Whe he startled he bumped into a potted plant causing it to skid and bump into the metal railing. He froze wanting to see who revived him close up.

Autumn stood up and was heading to her bed when she froze from hearing one of the potted plants on her balcony hit the rail. Glancing at the window, she wondered if it was her cat and walked over. Opening it, she walked out onto the balcony and gave a startled gasp as she saw someone in all black standing there with red eyes. Freezing as if she was a deer caught in headlights, she stared at the man then once it dawned on her that someone was on her balcony, she stumbled back into her room. Slamming the two windows shut and leaning on them.
"Should i tell someone? Maybe he'll go away.." Autumn breathed and looked up to see out the windows to see him still there. Her heartbeat was going 100 miles a minute and the blood drained from her face making her look a sickly white. No one had red eyes like that. No one.
Autumn took a few steps away from the window but didnt take her eyes off the person on her balcony. Needing to sit down, she sat on the very edge of her bed but was wary of the man on her balcony. Then common sense came back to her and she shot up, throwing open her bedroom door and taking off down the hall. "Father!" she called but her parents had left with Ryan to go out for dinner. They had let all the staff off of work and now she was utterly alone in the huge manor. Leaning against the wall outside of her bedroom, she slid down and sat down in a panic. Not knowing the person on her balcony and it having red eyes didnt help anything.

Kenji looked at the woman as she walked out and her face changed to complete shock, she looked at him and backed away slamming the windows shut. Slowly the intoxicating sound of her heartbeat filled his ears and his senses keened. He could not help but give a small smile seeing how shocked she was to see him. He wondered if she might have revived him by accident. He let out a small laugh in audible but none the less he laughed something he thought he was incapable after so long. He grinned looking at the door and then the windows. He pressed his hand on the door enough to get it to open so when he spoke she could hear him.
"Ahem Madam. could you please come back here? There is something Dire that I must communicate to you" He said with a thick accent his words rolled out of his mouth as if he was a well classified noble. However his words were prominent yet gentle. He made sure that it was loud enough for her to hear and none of the buildings nearby. His red eyes glanced inside of what appeared to be this woman's room, he noticed how elegant the room was decorated at the same time he caught wind of something decrepit and slightly old. He wondered how old this manor estate was and how strange this woman was. He knew he more then likely would startle her even more so.
However if this woman did not come out within the first minute of him speaking he would have to enter their abode. He needed answers and standing out on the balcony was not going to give him the result he wanted. He eagerly waited for the dirty blonde haired woman to return, this was the only thing keeping him concentrated. The sound of her intoxicating heart beat would about draw him to go mad, he unlike other vampires had self control. He unlike others would have grabbed her and demanded the answers then. But startling a person would lead to nothing. His red eyes looked at the glass and saw his red eyes. He sighed and forced them to turn grey, he would have to make himself appear as human as possible. even though without those eyes his vision was not as clear.

Autumn froze and her whole body stiffened as he spoke. If he was crazy enough to think she would actually go in there with him then he was insane. Slowly standing up, she started to back away from her doorway not wanting to be near it.
Gethering up her dress, she quickly turned on her heel and ran down the steps. Tripping a time or two but catching herself and cursing under her breath. "Why do we have so many damned stairs?" she growled quietly. Then when she reached the bottom, she ran for the library and made an ungraceful entrance as she skidded to a stop. Then she slammed the golden-painted, elegant doors shut. Finally running over to the red velvet covered couch and sat behind it. Her heart was hammering against her ribcage and she was sure it would beat right out of her chest.
This had not been a pleasant night at all. First she finds rotted meat on her plate. Then a man is inside her house. And finally, her parents had left her here. All alone. Autumn tried to calm herself and think of a reasonable way out of this but none came to her and she cursed under her breath not sure what to do now. Catching her breath, she leaned against the back of the couch and put her hand over her heart wishing it would calm down as well.

He sighed hearing her feet running against the floor as well as her quickened heart beat. He had enough of her running around and spasmodically avoiding him. Angry he walked into her bedroom and yanked the door open careful not rip the door of its hinges. He caught her scent and then he was careful not to drool, it was the same one that was on the grass next to his prison. He followed it along with the sound of her pounding heart. As he walked he took note to notice the elegant walls as well as this place screamed money to him. It was a toned down version of what his king had, he followed it until he saw two golden door shut. He could hear her heartbeat through the thick doors and gently tapped the door. He hated resorting to it and he tapped harder.
"Madame, I wish that you would not run from me. It does not bode well that you do. Come if you do not speak to me here while I am outside of the room; I shall come in. However I do not wish to scare you more then I have. tell me......did you revive me at the grave site?" He asked inquisitive letting his words flow out like a river stream his honed choice of words was apparent. He spoke to her not to insult her or to scare her. However the one thing that was different was his thick noble accent. He spoke in the way the kings and queens would speak to their subjects. He was accustomed to this on occasion, his true accent came out a toned down European accent.
He looked at the door once more once more as he finished speaking noticing the hand carved door and the exquisiteness of the gold embossing. He growled under his breath thinking that he was revived as a slave.

Autumn didnt know why he was speaking so funny but she calmed her breathing and managed to look over the back of the couch at the door. Slowly, she walked around the couch and stood at the door silently contemplating wether to open it or not. Then she reached out and touched the elaborately designed doorknob. Pressing down on the latch and slowly opening it, she peeked out from behind it.
Her hair had fallen out of its braid and the golden ribbons were just barely hanging onto her hair. Loose curls fell down her shoulders and her bangs that had been swept to the side, had fallen in front of her left eye. Which she hesitantly reached a hand up and swept them again to the side showing her cloudy blue/gray eyes met his. Looking quite frightened of the man standing before her, but she kept the door slightly ajar to where she could look out at him.
"Im not sure what you are referring to sir... Im sorry if that grave had been a relative of yours.. We simply needed money to get us out of debt and i-i could only resort to..grave robbing.. Im very sorry! I'll return the gold cross i took! Im really sorry!" Autumn started off quietly then gradually grew slightly panicked that she would get in trouble for it though her voice stayed quiet. Her voice was a soft, sweet, addicting melody that often caught mens attention and would often try to keep her speaking in order to hear it.

He blinked several times seeing the small woman before him. He looked at her as she still was quite afraid and heard her explain the entire situation. He sighed and brought a hand over his black hair and looked to her. He looked at her again and heard that her family needed the money about the gold cross that was on his prison. He shook his head and looked to her once more." I see you do not know of me. Or what I am, but know this. You may have the cross that entombed me in that grave. I dont know if you shall understand. But I do not want to frighten you." He said explaining to her hearing her panic stricken voice. SHe had a voice that was soft and gentle it almost made him feel bad that he had scared her so.
He looked to her uncertain how to approach her, his red eyes were grey and she was so gentle and clearly had not idea what she had revived. With gentle word he began to speak with a voice like calm gentle and at the same time thick with a dark european musk. "Miss, You must not realize what you have brought forth. For that person in that grave was I. For the one that I am standing, twas you that brought me back. I am what your kind calls a vampire." He said being calm and making sure his body language did not show any intent to harm.

Autumn blinked at the man staying silent fo a minute before it dawned on her to what he just said. The image of what had been in the coffin came back to her then the smell. That led to the image of the rotting meat on her plate and the smell there as well. Suddenly she paled quite a bit and if she paled any futher she would be as white as a ghost.
Though she didnt scream or react to the fact that he was a vampire. It had sent her heart into overdrive and if it was beating any harder it would beat right out of her chest. Slowly, she turned and walked away from the door. Sitting on the red velvet couch near the fireplace as her head began to swim. Pulling her knees to her chest, she stared at the fire going in the fireplace. It was a black marble fireplace with gold etchings in it. Autumn was suddenly feeling sick from all this information and the past sickening images.
"What do you want from me then?" Autumn asked rather weakly. She feared she wouldnt be able to handle much more of these surprises though she had a very strong heart. Everything else seemed so distant and she wasnt sure why she even belived the man when he said he was a vampire. They dont exist! Screamed her rational side but it was weak and she no longer listened to it. She was already haunted by the images and smell of rotting flesh.

Slowly, she turned and walked away from the door. Sitting on the red velvet couch near the fireplace as her head began to swim. Pulling her knees to her chest, she stared at the fire going in the fireplace. It was a black marble fireplace with gold etchings in it. Autumn was suddenly feeling sick from all this information and the past sickening images.
"What do you want from me then?" Autumn asked rather weakly. She feared she wouldnt be able to handle much more of these surprises though she had a very strong heart. Everything else seemed so distant and she wasnt sure why she even belived the man when he said he was a vampire. They dont exist! Screamed her rational side but it was weak and she no longer listened to it. She was already haunted by the images and smell of rotting flesh.
Kenji sighed seeing that she was frightened and shocked by the entire situation. He bowed to her and then began to speak to her making sure it was not threatining. "I see you still do not understand. I mean you no Harm and you Brought me back from my prison. And seeing that you do not want me as a slave. I owe you my life, I will do what ever you ask of me, and I shall do what ever you want of me. I will protect you or what ever your heart desires. But know this miss, My heart only beats when I see you." He said and bowed to her and then he slowly rose and met her eyes. he knew she was not feeling to comfortable and her and seeing that she was lost in thought and starting into the perpetual flames of the fire she was unsettled.
He rose and locked eyes with her and smiled warmly."My name is Kenji, Miss" He said friendly almost introducing himself. He vowed from that instant his heart beat when he saw her that he was content on making her his bride. He knew not of what happend to his varioius treasures he had. For now he was a loner, and finding his life bringer vowed his service to her.

Autumn was quite shocked by all of this but she figured that it might just all be a dream. Maybe. Hopefully. She had no need of someone who would tend to her every wish. She didnt want him to be indebted to her. Slowly, she got of the couch and took a hesitant step toward Kenji. Sticking ot her hand for him to shake. "Im Autumn. And you can call me that and stop calling me miss," she said. The color slowly returned to her making her out to be fair skinned and light rose colored cheeks.
Though she had to think about where Kenji would stay. They had many of rooms but her family couldnt know of him. Then they would know she had been grave robbing which was punishable by death and she did not have a death wish. "Well Kenji.. You can stay in the bedroom next to mine. Though my family cant know of you. Unless you passed for a normal human in front of them," she said softly. Then motioned for Kenji to follow her as she quietly lead him back out of the library. Not liking too much that he was behind her but she brushed it off and pulled the bottom of her dress off the floor. Stepping onto the cool surface of the stairs and glancing back at Kenji to make sure he was following. Slowly making her way upstairs, she stopped at her doorway and motioned for Kenji to go to the room next to hers. "It does have a window in it. But there are some black curtains that you can pull across it. Um..im not sure what you need but im next door if you do need anything.." she said softly and blushed at the thought of him needing something.

Kenji closely followed behind her making sure that he did not lose her. When she lead him up the stairs and when they came to what his room was going to be he let out a sigh of relief to see there were black curtains. He looked at her and then let out a warm laugh."Ah yes such a lovely name. Autumn indeed how lovely, as beautiful as the leaves that fall. But yes there will not be much that I need I do not eat, however I would like a bath since it has been some time. The thing that cleansed me was the nights rain. But There is also another thing that I must ask of you. I will not kill innocents to feed my thirst. When I feel it coming I ask that you may be generous enough to share some of your blood. I wont need much." He said as he looked at the inside of the room and marveled how elegant it was. It remined him so much of his old home. Yet at the same time he knew it wasn't his own abode, and that in a way comforted his cold heart."Ah yes I can pass of as a human, as you first saw me I had glowing red eyes. I can change them to a dark grey to a light grey. As for my paleness that is to be expected, but I shall not be known to your parents. That is a promise Autumn." He said explaining to her that he could be trusted, placing an arm over his chest as he bowed again.
A blush danced across Autumn's cheeks as he complimented her name. Then paled considerably as he asked for her blood whenever he was hungry. "I..m-my blood?" she asked quietly and her eyes widened. She didnt like the thought of him feeding on her, though she didnt want anyone to be hurt either. Looking at the stone floor, she tied to contain the sickening feeling. "I-I dont know about that..." she whispered and her body shuddered in fear at the thought.
But then she brushed past him, her skin lightly coming in contact with his. A shiver ran down her spine at the coldness of his body but she held back the gasp that tried to escape as she was shocked as if by electricity where her skin came in contact with his. Quickly walking into the bathroom, she started a warm bath for him and bent next to the tub waiting for it to finish filling. When it did, she turned off the water and dipped her hand in to test the temperature then dried off her hand. Standing up, she walked out of the bathroom and avoided Kenji's eyes afraid of what she would find there. "The bath is ready..its all warm and stuff. I'll get you some new clothes," she said softly and shyly.

Kenji looked at Autumn seeing the wondrous blush that rose across her face as he complimented her. He then saw her become pale once more when he mention that he would like her blood when he got hungry. He looked at her as she filled a bath for him and he smiled a small smile but a smile nonetheless. He looked at her as he looked at the bath water and smiled. However he couldn't notice how much she jumped when her skin came into contact with his own. He felt a strange electric sensation go through his own body as well. He brushed of the sensation so it would not distract him from the lovely bath Autumn had ran for him. He immediatly took of his jacket with out paying any head looking at his scar that lay on his chest. He sighed and turned to met her and smiled."thankyou Autumn, you are most kind. But do not worry about the blood part, i can take it from a simple pip prick to your finger. And a small amount will be satisfactory. I wont become a mnindless animal if i have a little bit each night. "He said reasuring her and not paying attention to how she would react seeing his naked torso in front of her. He didn't know how she would react to the noticable scar that was on his chest. He was fixated on the fact that he found someone that he could share in common with or perhaps protect her. He wanted to make sure she was comfortable, there was just something about her that Kenji wanted to have.
A very noticable blush spread like a wild fire across Autumn's cheeks as she realized he didnt have his shirt on. Though she couldnt hold back the soft gasp that escaped her lips when she saw the scar. Not being able to stop herself as she stepped closer to him and put her hand on the scar. Her hand was warm and soft, her touch light and gentle. Though she quickly retracted her hand as another electric shock met her touch except it was stronger than the last. Something deep inside her stirred from the shocks and she quickly stepped away from him. "Sorry," she apologized quietly then made her way to the doorway. She had no right to ask him what happened so she kept the question to herself.
"Yes well..as long as you dont take much..I will let you," Autumn finally agreed and stood at the doorway for a second before shutting the door gently as she left. Then she descended te staircase quickly and entered her parents room. Where she grabbed an old black coat of his, a pair of black pants, and a pair of black boots. Then an old leather belt, just in case he needed to tighten the waistband of the pants. He was a bit thinner than her father but the clothes should fit him. Then she rapidly ascended the stairs and entered Kenji's room. Keeping her eyes trained on the bed as she entered where she silently set down the clothes and boots before quickly leaving just as silently as she came. Finally entering her room, she shut the door quietly and let out a heavy sigh. "This is the craziest day of my life..." she muttered. Then undressed and set her dress back into the wardrobe before pulling out her white pajama pants and her white shirt which she quickly slipped into. Then crawled into her bed. But sleep wouldnt come to her and she sat up in bed, watching the stars and moon as if they were going to suddenly dissappear.

Kenjis eyes opened wide as he heard Autumn gasp as she saw the large scar across his chest. He would have blushed himself, but felling Autumn's warm hand across his semi cold body made he gawk with awe. Again he was going to say something, but a strange surge of electricity went through his body. He looked at her with complete amazement, he heard her appologize for touching his scar she left shutting the door. Kenji sighed as he was left to him self. He stepped into the bath and felt the warm water against his cold body. He washed off all of the grave dirt along with any filth he had aquired wearing those clothes. As he finished he could not help but think how beautiful Autumn is. His heart pounded again inside of his chest. he cluched it felling it beat. Autumn was special abd he knew it. wrapping his lower half with a towel his black hair damp, he walked into his designated room. Finding clothes laid out on the bed he but them on. the pants were a littlee big but they would do for now. Adjusting the belt around his waist, he walked out of the room and went into Autumns." Autumn, if you like i can explain to you how i aquired the scar you laid your beautiful hand upon." he asked curious to see if she wanted to know. Kenji smiled in the dark happy that his reviver hand been a beautiful maiden around what would have been his age. His thoughts continued to circle in his head, he was deterimnedvto stay around and or with him him even if it would cost him.
