AUTHOR'S NOTE: Well here it is, the sequel all of you AidouxYori fans been waiting for. I want to thank all of you for your patience and support with my stories, especially to RimaTouya-Rose and iRawTera. On with the show!

DISCLAIMER: Again, Vampire Knight does not belong to me in anyway, as well as Aidou and Yori. Only my imagination.

February 1st

"Seriously, Hanabusa? You're still going at it about this girl?" Akatsuki asked unsurprisingly. He sat on top of his desk, stretching his long longs care freely. I smirked at my wild-looking, yet cool-headed cousin, standing beside him and crossing my arms.

"Why of course. There's still some work to be done".

"But you already achieved dancing with her. What more do you want?"

"What makes you think I'll stop from there?"

"You would think that you'd be finally satisfied getting something from her by now. After that performance you did in front of all of us last month". Akatsuki then smirked at me about my moment of humiliation. "Good acting by the way. You deserve an Oscar nomination".

I snorted and shifted my head the other direction, my arms still crossed. "Yeah well, at least I didn't come back with my tail between my legs entirely. And it helped me still win, didn't it? So don't expect me to lose this round either!" I exclaimed defiantly. Akatsuki only rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"I swear. You just don't know when to give up do ya?"

I gave my cousin another smile, remembering a certain déjà vu about my achievements. "More than you'll ever know cous. Just watch a pro. This game of cat and mouse is far from over".

"Heh. Fine then, pro. But the next time you come to the point of begging again, don't expect me to still act as if I know ya". I smirked back as a response and headed to my desk. We were waiting for our teacher to arrive in the room and start classes for the evening. The rest of my fellow classmates were chattering about an upcoming event in the next thirteen more days. It was the occasion for people to express their inner feelings and confesses to one another, hoping to find that true soul mate for eternity. Literally.

Yep. It was that time again. Valentine's Day was coming up.

And who could love the seducing holiday more than me? After all, it was a time for my loving fan girls to swarm and fight over my diving existence and invitation to my charming smiles. Not a single Valentine's Day has failed to have us be flooded with outrageous letters and hand-made chocolate gifts at the V-Day Chocolate Exchange Tournament for us nobles. Not that I don't mind. And I love eating chocolate in classes. The rest of my noble classmates on the other hand, think of this tradition as a nuisance. Akatsuki, Shiki, even Ruka care less about the holiday, for they hold no interest for their mortal admirers. I, for one, am a different story. Oh, how I wish we could accept more than just cards and chocolates from those fair maidens, if you know what I mean……

But once again, there's that damn taboo to remind me not to feed upon the mortal students at this school. Nonetheless, I'm always good at going with the flow and entertaining them a little. There's no harm in that. So therefore, I know exactly what to expect from my darlings on that day. But I'm not really focusing on that right now. Because this V-Day is going to change my life like never before this year. Thanks to a certain girl.

And no, it wasn't one of my fan girls. Was she mortal? Yes, but far from ordinary in more ways than one. This is the same mortal that became my first formidable opponent in my game of temptation. This is the same mortal who had the spirit as well as sense to say 'no' to a god-like prince like me. And even worse, this is the same damn mortal who has driven me insane over her beautifully strong-willed existence. Never have I went to extreme measures or undergone bizarre troubles to win a lady's affection. It is always the other way around for a prince like me. But does she run? No. Does she drool over my presence or the sound of my name? No. Is she part of the cheering crowd, screaming their lungs out for my undeclared love? Not. One. Bit. All the more reason why I love fighting for this amazing, different vixen. Different. How I love to define her with such vocabulary, for it was so true. I closed my eyes and smiled.

Yori……

Ahh, yes. Every time I tell myself that name, it reminds me on why I continue struggling in this sex war. She was not only my new obsession but my enemy at the same time. And let me tell you, she sure was one hell of an adversary to stand up against. She was the source that brought me down on my knees like a peasant, desperate for a single dance at the ball last month. My friends only thought of me as a sad case as well as womanizing idiot for putting myself downhill to that level, but it was worth it. In the end, it was a matter of doing what I had to do to claim that dance, and I did just that. Which is why I still need to continue to claim her affection completely. I know I've opened her eyes a little to acknowledge me. Why else did she accepted my dance offer regardless? This is a sign that I can't give up. With Valentine's Day coming up, it helps me set up new agendas to win successfully. And I didn't have that much time already. Thirteen more days, thirteen more days of preparation.

Sweeping her off her feet at the dance ball? That was only the beginning. There's still one more round to play. As I said before, this game of cat and mouse is far from over. For I have not felt the flesh of her soft, rosy lips against mine. And I guarantee you, I will. That is a promise. Tomorrow marks my first day of work. Let the games begin, again.

END NOTE: Well, I know that this chapter is kind off short and all, but trust me, the story gets more interesting in the next chapter. On to chapter 2! J
