Lying Best To Ourselves
There's always three sides to a fight,
So always listen to his story, her story, and the truth.
"We always lie best when lying to ourselves."
Chapter One
Nothing Personal
"Class, quiet down!" Narumi ordered sternly at the front of the room. "Take our your books and study! Our mock tests are coming up and you all need to be ready!" It was rare that Narumi would be strict and become a duplicate of Jinno, but it wasn't impossible. Even if every single student at Alice Academy had something abnormal about them, none of their skills were acing tests easily. They all needed to prepare, and knowing them, they wouldn't.
Mikan Sakura sat in the very back seat alone. Natsume and Ruka were late to class again and anyone would've guessed Natsume was the cause of it. Ruka couldn't arrive without his bestfriend, knowing he might be forced to take on horrible orders because of his background.
Most people here in Alice Academy had a duty that became the school motto. "No matter if it's to serve or to be served, we all hold a purpose."
There were different kinds of 'purposes' of course, but everything starts with the purebloods.
Purebloods continuously held the highest status, eligible to take human servants, lower-class vampire servants, and had reserved surpreme power. Pureblooded vampires are permitted to form a relationship with novice and noble vampires, or those who weren't born a creature of the night or a decendent from a line of royal vampires. but this happens less then more. Rarely, purebloods allow humans into their lives more then a blood supply. Some humans have bravely made contact with vampires and considered them friends. But there was only one couple knwon in history that shared a bond more than friendship, but it was only a legend.
Natsume and Hotaru were the only true purebloods in Class B. Mikan, Ruka, Sumire, Koko, and Anna were noble vampires. In order for a noble vampire to become a pureblood was deepening a bond with another pureblood.
Blood cravings were another issue all together if you were an exceptional case. There were a few in Class B that had become attached to a particular human's blood and soon forgets self-control. It wasn't a proud thing to say you did, but times like that you couldn't help it.
"Hey President! Natsume-kun and Ruka-kun is here!" Wakako shrieked in delight, elbowing Sumire quickly.
"No way! Natsume-kun! Over here! Come sit with us today!" Sumire waved urgently, happily gesturing towards the seat next to her.
Natsume's eyes narrowed in disguist and turned around and proceeded towards the back with Ruka following right behind him.
Mikan was on the verge of falling asleep when Natsume plopped down right next to her, startling Mikan.
"Eep! Huh? Oww!" Mikan groaned, glaring at Natsume. Picking herself up, Mikan gave her friend a light punch.
"Tch, failure," Natsume scolded disapprovingly. "Who falls when someone sits down?"
"Natsume!" Mikan pouted angrily. "Be nice!"
"Natsume Hyuuga of Class B, please report to the Principal Office. I repeat, Natsume Hyuuga please report to the Principal Office as soon as possible."
The speaker interrupted what Natsume had to say next. He reluctantly rose from his seat and started walking towards the door. "Well then, see you later Polka," Natsume raised a hand that moved only just a slight bit, but Mikan caught the movement. It was Natsume's way of saying bye.
"Narumi-sensei, may I go use the bathroom?" asked Mikan as soon as Natsume disappeared from sight.
"Along with me too," Ruka requested, his left foot tapping quickly. Whenever he did that, Mikan noticed, Ruka had something urgent on his mind.
"Well—never mind. Go on ahead," Narumi allowed. It was better if he gotten it over with. He didn't like to think of himself on bad terms with the Nogi and Yukihira family.
"Thank you!" Mikan called back loudly, running as fast as she could out the door.
Mikan grimaced and pushed away all her thoughts, she took a look back to see if Ruka was catching up and then zoomed towards the Principal's Office.
Natsume peculiarly liked to remain patient.
Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
"Father," Natsume forced out respectfully. He felt like dying, as if someone had stuff him inside a car for a week with burning gasoline.
"Natsume!" Mr. Hyuuga shook his head amusingly. "Be more enthusiatic! I bet our beloved Mikan would be delighted to see me, don't you?" Mr. Hyuuga smirked as he caught his son flinch.
Natsume cursed under his breath and regained his composture. "You promised, Father that you would leave the girl alone," Natsume gritted, clenching the tablecloth on his left side.
"Ah, well yes. That is if you do a good, clean job."
"I won't take her as a servant," Natsume stood his ground with a grim expression. "Nor will I force her into a relationship."
"C'mon now, Natsume. That isn't very fun now. Mikan is a lovely girl!" Mr. Hyuuga pressed smugly.
Natsume hated that old cheap, but this was going to far. He was twisted, enjoying the suffering pain. "Stay out of her way," Natsume warned protectively.
"Jeez, let a old man have his fun!"
Natsume was just about to leave his sick father to his horrid fantasies when he shot the other way he came from.
A face he didn't need to see right now.
A face that would only lead to blood.
The Angel-like vampire herself, Sakura Mikan.
This isn't the official first chapter, it's only a prologue, or I call it 'story testing'. Any of my prologues are not nearly as long as my real chapters but they'll help you get used to my plot. If you liked it, please leave a review. I'm not saying you have to, but it's a sign that you want me to continue. Now that might sound forceful and makes it seem required, it's not. Everyone loves a review, but that's not my purpose this time. It's my first story I'm considering Supernatural/Mystery/Romance and I like to see what you're thinking. Even a simple smiley face or frown is great.
