Hello readers! Welcome to my new fanfic: Shattered Fragments of an Unfixable Past. And to those of you who just happened to be scrolling through the archives thank you for clicking on this title. Now, let's get this underway!
"Why are you here, Yagari? Kiryuu is fine."
Toga Yagari, present number one vampire under smiled coolly under the Headmaster's piercing gaze.
"I wanted to see how things were going. I had heard that your Night Class had been re-established."
The Headmaster smiled and shook his head.
"That's kind of you, but everything's fine."
"How's she doing?"
"Hm?"
"Yuuki."
Cross looked down. The floor had become quite interesting all of a sudden.
"She's getting along quite well. I'm not going to lie. I do miss having her around, but at least she's where she belongs."
Yagari nodded. They were both in the Headmaster's private office. A fire blazed on the hearth, it's warmth discouraging drafts.
"Hm. I suppose you're right about that."
He looked out the window. Yuuki was looking quite well apparently. She was talking to another Night Class student. Yagari's one eyed gaze rolled over to the person next to the vampire princess. One crystal blue eye widened in shock. He could feel a cold ice seep over his heart.
"Reiko."
He whispered. Cross caught this and winced. The hunter turned back to face the Headmaster. His eyes glinted like steel daggers. The ice around his heart had been melted by his white hot fury.
"Why is she in the Night Class?!"
The Headmaster looked away. Yagari strode over and slammed his hands down on his desk.
"Well, feel like explaining?"
His words dripped venom. Cross sighed. He had known this was bound to happen at some point, but like a blissful fool he had believed that it would never come.
Yagari, she's not fully human."
Instead of calming the heated situation, which they would have never done anyway, those words only fueled to white fires of rage.
"She's more human than those blood covered monsters could ever hope to be!"
Yagari snarled. Try as he might to maintain a cool, calm demeanor, Cross found himself sympathizing with the hunter. But rules were rules and regulations needed to be followed. What would it say to the students, if he, the president of Cross Academy were to bend the rules? In a level tone, Cross stated;
"Once she was placed in foster care, whatever happens to her is beyond your control. Besides, the parents who raised her were vampires."
"What?!"
Yagari, think. How would humans have coped with a half-demon? The only two species that can deal with those matters are vampires, or other demons. Believe you me, I wished that a demon could have adopted her, but Fate is cruel. I'm sorry, but I cannot remove her."
Emotions wracked Yagari's body. Anger, pain, sorrow, regret, loss and exhaustion. They stormed through his mind like an army of asylum inmates. He sighed.
"You're right. It would be…hazardous to move her into an environment full of unsuspecting humans. I…I guess I'll just have to make do."
Cross got up and put a hand on Yagari's shoulder. The hunter had turned to look back out the window, and watched, stone faced as the Night Class receded back into their dorm for another night.
"You did the best you could."
Yagari stayed silent. Had he really done the best he could? He had thought so at the time, but now? Only time would tell.
Sorry, it's kinda short, but I'll try to make the next chapter longer. R&R please.
