A/N: Errr.. well, hello there everyone. This would be my first time putting on my work here so I'm kind of nervous. Anyway, please tell me what you think about it. Thanks! Btw, this is NOT a HanabusaXOC. Though I used an OC's point of view. Please forgive any grammar mistakes, English is not my native language, but I've really tried not to make any mistake in that part because I also hate reading stories with so much grammar mistakes.

Additional A/N: I've edited this a li'l bit. Added a few details, stories are more likely the same. Just a tiny bit difference. Okay, I lied, I probably added 8 paragraphs or more. So if you want, you could read it again. Sorry. I was just, I wasn't satisfied with it at first.

The Queen and her Knight

Anna was dancing gracefully and happily when she felt her partner's arm stiffened around her then she felt his spine snapped in attention. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she saw him craned his neck sideways and stared at the entrance. She followed his gaze and saw a woman in a black dress with the shame shade of butterfly adorning her long dark brown hair. The woman stood regally in front of the door with only the attendant of Lord Izashi, the host of the party, offering to take her shawl. When the attendant bowed his head to her direction, the woman gave him a grateful smile. Acting as if he had bestowed her the greatest kindness, acted as if she wasn't that important to be welcomed like that.

Anna knew her behavior wasn't fake, but at least she could delude herself that if this woman wasn't perfect as it is, at least, she had a fighting chance. It was like life was playing her, once upon a time, everything around her was enough to sustain her and more, once upon a time, she didn't need to play this game of pretending, this game of deluding one's self. Now, it was all she did.

Really, Anna thought as she softly chuckled in self pity, if there is God, He had one twisted sense of humor.

She almost had everything. She was of noble vampire lineage, though not a pureblood; she was a granddaughter of one. She was used to people flocking her like mindless sheep to their shepherd because of her exquisite beauty— her cobalt blue eyes that shone like jewels, her long black midnight hair, her timeless face akin to that of an angel and her impressive bone structure. Maybe if she had one fault to her appearance, it would be her chest, it never grew much during puberty but even within the vampire circle, her beauty was exceptional (though she had an obvious lack of chest), even now, wearing a blue satin long gown, she held half the men's attention and was satisfied with it. She had servants at her beck and call. She was engaged to the person she admired for almost a lifetime. Well, she had no real friends, but who needs them anyway? They were just superficial people to her and held no great importance.

Basically, she was happy with the way she led her life.

Yes, she almost had everything— Noble respected bloodline, vast richness, beauty and a very handsome fiancée.

But then, almost had always been the operative word.

As she danced with her partner, she knew she no longer held his attention, with the way he automatically shifted his feet left and right and glided her away in the dance floor, one would think someone put him in auto-pilot mode. She exhaled tiredly and looked up at the face of the person who was so near, within reach, yet so far, far away.

Because the one thing that she didn't have was his heart. The one thing she craved the most. God had one fucked up sense of humor.

Unexpectedly, the man let go of her hands. Another strike on her part. She thought that even though he was preoccupied, he would continue this pretense of dancing until the end of the song but she guessed wrong. She should have known better, she could never win against her. Even as a charade, this man would never put Anna's existence above this one person… or maybe that was wrong, with her finally in a place within his reach after three years of it being beyond him, Anna's and everyone's existence would fade away into the back ground.

She noticed that couples around them stopped dancing too and stood in attention to stare at the person in entrance. The orchestra stopped playing and everyone held their breath. There was a pin drop silence in the room that with her sharpened vampire senses, she could hear everyone's heartbeat. No one dared to move except one.

This woman, she thought bitterly as she felt him left her side to go to her. Could even command time to hold its breath and stop if she would will for it to.

But before he went too far away, she reached for his sleeve. Maybe its instinct or her reflex, she didn't know but she held on to him. Suddenly afraid that once he left her side, he would never come back.

Because I know that thought would come true.

"Hanabusa-sama…"

But really, she shouldn't have tried. Without even glancing back he took her hands gently off his white sleeve and continued moving forward. She saw him walked away from her in the middle of a crowd who didn't even noticed them as they too stared as if under an enchantment at the beautiful vampire now walking inside the dancing hall. She saw her glanced their way and stopped her gaze when it landed on him and she smiled softly.

When Hanabusa finally reached her, his eyes were searching her smiling face, Anna saw him raised his right hand maybe to touch her but put it down again, as if afraid that she was an illusion and if he so much as touch her, she would disappear.

Maybe for him, he was still in one of his dreams. Anna knew that because on the one time she took a glimpse of him in his study room, she saw him waking up abruptly from his sleep with his hands raised on the air, shouting her name. Needless to say, it was the last time Anna sneaked in his house to see him.

"I— I…" It was the first time she heard him stuttered. The crowd watched the scene unfolding in front of them, only half-believing what they were seeing: A beautiful vampire whose name was revered with respect and admiration and had a MIA status for the last three years was now on the hall and in front of her was the stuttering heir of the Aidou Clan who was called a genius.

Anna realized she had so much bitterness in her when the demon part of her resurfaced and taunted, Where's the genius now?

The woman raised her ungloved hand and touched Hanabusa's left cheek— caressing it. Hanabusa then covered her hand with his, closed his eyes and leaned to her touch. Smiling like after years of searching, at last, he reached his home. Finally, he breathed her name in mixture of awe, relief, longing, love and worship.

"Yuuki-sama…"

She saw her world tumbled down before her eyes as she heard that four-syllable word.

As if that was the magic word, the crowd came to their senses and knelt. She followed suit even with her heart breaking into pieces. They bowed their heads, paying respect to the last pureblood— the Vampire Queen, Yuuki Kuran.

To be continued.

This story would be a two-shot. I've already started the next chapter but I'll be posting it by next week. I have my exams and all so I'm really busy right now.
