I Got A Friend Who Is A Vampire
Disclaimer: I do not own vampire knights! And this is my second fan fic yeah!
Chapter 1:
"Young master, your mother calls for you." The servant said bowing. Ryan looked up from the book he is reading and smiled a little, as he always does. "Alright, tell her that I will be there." The servant bowed again and left the room. Ryan returned in reading the book he is holding and sighed silently to himself. He took a glanced at his watch and it says 7:30 pm. Looking around with his crimson-red eyes, with a sparkle of fire colore in it, he then decided to leave. He ran a hand through his jet black hair sighing with laziness.
'Its a little too early for mom to call me at this hour. Usually she will not call for me for the reason is that she is too busy dealing with several councils about that school-Cross Academy.'
Ryan stood up, at the same time closing his book and placing it on his desk temporarily taking a mental note to return right after talking to his mother and continue reading. He walked silently through the hallway towards the living room where he could positively sense his mother's presence.
'Mom is too easy to find as always...unlike father. He always have this weird ways on me when it comes to this kind of situation. Its like "I-call-for-you-so-therefore-you-have-to-look-for-me" thing. This has been going on ever since he found out that my senses are far beyond his. That was when I was only six years old.'
Ryan smirked a little to himself as he entered the living room where his mother stood near the fire place. It felt warm and cozy just being near it and he liked it. Ryan's mother took noticed of his entrance and smiled warmly to him.
"Mother, you call for me..."
Mrs. Ryujiwa nodded and sat on the nearest sofa watching her son carefully. Ryan noticed this but stayed calm. He, too, took a seat just on the other side facing his mother.
"Ryan, my dear, you are already 18 and yet you have not found someone to your liking?" His mother's tone is full of concern for he is the youngest in the family. His has two older brothers and are already married to one of the pureblood family's daughters. It is unfortunate to the Ryujiwa pureblood family that that none of their children is a girl.
'My family... is the only pureblood family that has no female child. Though that is not really a problem. As pureblood princes, my older brothers and I could find another pureblood princesses to get married to and continue the family line.'
Ryan felt silent for a moment. Thinking of what to tell his mother so that she will not continue to worry.
"Ryan,... my dear...."
'As a pureblood it is not unusual for us to marry our own sibling. After all,... we are not human beings. Another reason for this kind of marriage is too continue the pureblood line. Use being purebloods is unfortuantely rare which is on the contrary is good.'
Ryan took a glanced at the fire burning right beside him then looked back at his mother.
"mother..."
'to be honset,...I do not find marrying your female sibling appealing. Maybe its because I never have one.'
"...I'm sorry but please do not worry about me too much."
'...but I can't just tell my family that...'
"Its true that by this time I should have one. Someone that I love with all my heart but..."
Mrs. Ryujiwa watched her son and sigh quietly but Ryan could hear it. "but you couldn't find that woman yet right?" She finished for him. Ryan looked at her and nodded but slowly. 'In other words, I do not want to marry yet!'
"I'm sorry to disappoint you mother..." Mrs. Ryukiwa shook her head slowly and smiled a little at her son. "I understand. Although I have asked you this question before I just need to hear you. There are just about hundreds of letters on my desk from different noble familes asking if they could introduce their daughters to you."
Ryan sweatdropped at this. 'Those noble vampires again...'
"Would you like to-"
"No, mother." Ryan immediately said as politely as he could as to not offend her. Mrs. Ryujiwa chuckled at him and stood up. Ryan smiled at her glad that he could always make her smile.
"I see. Oh by the way, Kaname-kun called just awhile ago. Why don't you call him back?" His mother said before leaving the room. "Lunch will be ready 11 don't be late."
Ryan chuckled, standing up as well. " Yes, mother." 'I'm glad mom wouldn't force the subject on me...'
Ryan walked back to where he came and got his cellphone out from his pocket and dialed Kaname's number.
…........................................................................
The next day.... (5:30 pm)
Ryan's limo stopped in front of the vampire council building as the driver opened the door for him. He walked out of the car and left after thanking the driver. Kuran Kaname had asked Ryan to attend a meeting concerning Cross Academy. Ryan then decided for himself that he will be attending the school as well. After all he has to go to school and finish his studies and also strongly believed that humans and vampires can co-exist. Kuran Kaname doesn't really need another pureblood to monitor the vampires at Cross Academy but needed him to officially make Cross Academy a school where humans and vampires can co-exist by attending this meeting and as a new representative among purebloods. Many members already approve of it because of his presence as well and he was sure that Kaname was glad for his participation.
When Ryan entered many servants and other noble vampires greeted him.
"Ryujiwa-sama, Kuran-sama is waiting for you in the counciling office. Others, too, are waiting." One of the noble men said walking beside him. Ryan wore simple clothing unlike others,of course to us humans even with his simplicity he would always looked like celebrity. He wore a white, silver stripped polo, black pants, black coat, and black shoes. He could almost looked like Kaname from a far but all vampires could tell the difference.
The man beside him opened the door for him and entered the room where he found sitting quietly with the others. All of the noble vamires stood at his presence and bowed respectively.
"Ryujiwa-sama, its good to see you again." One of the eldest noble vampire said. Ryan just nodded to his direction and walked quietly towards Kaname and sat next to him. Everyone then sat quietly, ready.
Kaname did all the talking to the council memebers while Ryan sat quietly listening beside him. Ryan took a pen from his pocket and started writing on the papers in front of him. Many took noticed and felt a little nervous. They knew that Ryan approve of Kaname's decisions without even saying a word and that this two purebloods get along quite well.
One of the council members finally tried to ask questions to Ryan. "Ryujiwa-sama, if I may ask, what is your purpose for attending Cross Academy? Many of us were surprised when we heard you are moving to another school."
Kaname glanced slightly at Ryan then back on the papers in front of him. Ryan finished writing whatever he has to answer on the papers and looked up facing the vampire. Everyone's attention is focused on him as they silently waited. The vampire who asked the question felt a little nervous but then relieved when Ryan smiled kindly.
"Kaname did not ask me to enter Cross Academy it was my own decision to attend this school. I have always believed that humans and vampires can co-exist and I want to see this for myself and learn as well while studying with them." Ryan answered keeping eye contact with the vampire.
Everyone started whispering to each other and both Kaname and Ryan watched them expressionless.
"Everyone..." Ryan started saying getting everyone's attention again. Kaname looked at Ryan with interest this time. He knew Ryan from when he was little and that when it comes to this kind of situations....
Ryan opened his crimson eyes which is slightly glowing making others gasp in their place.
"If I am not mistaken I have always known the vampire council exist for the reasons that humans should be protected from vampires who violates the law and are given the power by us purebloods, on our behalf, to control things in the right order. Am I wrong?"
Everyone, except Kaname, nodded dumbfounded.
"However, having the council is not enough to prove it to the higher ups in the human society, especially, the hunter association." When Ryan mentioned the hunter association many is unaware of their aura.
"We are talking of the human side here. Majority in the human society believes that vampires will fail to co-exist with humans even though with the vampire council's presence. We are technically not doing a better job just by creating laws to prevent others. That is why, Kuran Kaname and Cross Kaine came up with this idea. The school, Cross Academy, where humans and vampires stays and study together. With this method we can prove that we can co-exist with them. Where cooperation, understanding, and acceptance exist." Kaname mentally smiled at this as he finished writing on his papers.
….he wins.
Everyone started murmur to each other again but this time they all agreed and are very convinced.
"Ryujiwa-sama, since you will attending Cross Academy with Kuran-sama I will also allow my children to attend!" One of them said with full excitement. Ryan sweatdropped at this.
"Me too!"
"They are like...kids..." Ryan whispered to himself in a very low voice and Kaname is the only one who can hear him.
"You never change." Kaname said only for him to hear as the others started to sign the papers of approval.
…........................................................................................
After the meeting Ryan couldn't wait to leave the room. Kaname went ahead telling him that he has another meeting with the chairman. Ryan never liked staying inside the vampire council. He walked out of the building as calmly as he could towards his driver who seem to be waiting for him patiently as ever.
"Ryujiwa-sama, where would like to go next?"
Ryan looked around for a moment. 'This place is surrounded by the forest and its quite peaceful here. However, animals never dare themselves to come near this area and this building looked like a mansion so no one get suspicious over this area.'
Ryan looked around again. 'yeah too peaceful...'
"Ryujiwa-sama?"
"Oh! I'm sorry. I was just thinking. Maybe you could go ahead. I want to investigate something." 'investigate?where did that come from???'
The driver bowed repectfully, "As you wish, master." with that he left leaving Ryan on his own and he liked it. Once his limo is out of sight and looked around making sure that no one is looking he quickly walked away towards the forest.
….......................................
Unknown to others, there is a small village just across the forest and for Ryan is bound to find out its existence.
"Grace! Where are you going?" Grace grabbed a pair of black shoes and grabbed the nearest basket she could find.
"I'll be going to the forest, grandma. I'll be back before six!" She said as loud as she could so that her grandmother could hear her.
"Alright, but don't forget to pick some berries if you find any."
"Hai!"
Grace humned to herself as she walked through the forest. Enjoying the warm sunset as she always does ever since she was little. Grace is the youngest among all the people who lives in their village. Most of her friends are two years older and above. It always been that way....
'I wonder what can I do with blue berries. Maybe I can just simply make another blue berry pie!' Grace thought happily to herself turning around and jumping over a ledge. 'it won't be easy to get around this forest if you don't know the way,hehehhe' Grace glanced to her right side and found what she was looking for. "Berries!!!" She said unaware that her voice echoed.
'I remembered the time mom would always take me around here to get some berries. I wish she is here with me now...'
.............................................
"I doubt that anyone lives here. The vampire council is quite a far place from the city already." Ryan said to himself as he looked around with interest. The trees are so tall that no ordinary humans can climb it while the grasses and bushes grew wild in every place. The forest is a nice place to relax but not for humans. Level Es are everywhere after all. For them this place is best for hunting.
….........................................
Grace continued to walked around after getting some berries. The forest is like a home to her than the city. She has always known that there were rumors that strange people are attacking others during the sunset and mostly in the evening. With that rumor its enough to convince her grandmother that the city is not a safe place. Grace have always wanted to go to the city but she shouldn't disobey and even if she did someone was always watching over her. Her "Onii-chan".
One hour later, the place started to get darker and darker. Grace is suppose to be back by then but it looks like she enjoyed picking berries too much. Unknown to her, a dark shadow crept behind her following every single move she makes.
"I better get back." She told herself. She tugged the scarft just hanging from her basket and placed it around her neck then looked down at her basket and found it half full. Her eye glimmered at the thought of making a dozen of blue berry pies. If that happens her grandmother might give her the chance to go to the city and sell them.
"I better hurry. Onii-chan and grandma are waiting." She said hurriedly making a big dash back to where she came. "If I don't make it on time, Onii-chan will scold me! And then I wont be able to go to the city!" She stopped on her tracks and energetically raised her fist in the air. "Yosh! Gambatte, Grace!" (Alright! Do your best, Grace!)
Suddenly, a men with dark clothes started laughing from behind her. "Aren't you te energetic one?" he said in a hungry tone. Grace turned around as she felt shivers ran down her spine making her straight up. If she know any better the man is more dangerous than a criminal. Grace gathered all her courage and looked at the man fully. She couldn't make out who really it is, the man stood just ten feet away from her and under the thick, deep, dark showdows of the trees. She held her basket a little more thighter than before as she watched the man made one step forward towards her.
"W-who are you?" She asked, fear in her voice, and started to move backwards as the man advances on her.
"There is no need to know little missy..." He said. His voice is starting blur as he struggle?!
'What's wrong with him? This is not good...'
Grace tried to calm herself and took two deep breaths. "Sir,...are you sick? You don't seem well..." She tried to be polite as possible but she couldn't help but stay away from the man.
The man did not respond instead he struggled with himself and started hitting the trunks. Grace gasped as she watched. 'My feet...won't move!'
His punches where strong enough to scare the birds away from their dwellings and it scared Grace even more. The wind started picking up bringing the cold winds from the north. The sun finally set beneath the horizon turning everything to the bright moon. It is another time of the day. A day for those who do not seek the warmth of the sun.
The man struggled even more than before and started screaming with unknown pain. To Grace's surrise he strucked another tree with his bare hands and this time his hand created a huge cut across it. Her eyes widen in shock.
'No way...this man-no, there is no way he could have done that?!' Grace thought dropping her basket on the ground. 'No..I must be dreaming...I couldn't do that without a knife!'
"AAARRGGHHHH!!!!" The man screamed in pain holding his head with his two hands. His nails started to grow into it's sharpest form. Grace couldn't see what was really going for everything is so dark to see.
'If only I have a flashlight...I wouldn't be scared like this...'
Sure, she had gone through the woods all her life but not at a time like this. Usually, her onii-chan is with him at this time of the day. That's it!! Without thinking, Grace ran as if her life depends on it. She couldn't scream. She couldn't think. Yes,... she has no idea where she is going right now.
'I have to stay away from him!'
The man watched as his prey ran off towards a different direction. He couldn't bare the pain any longer and let everything turn red. His desire finally took over. His eyes turned crimson red and his fangs grew longer with hunger. All of the animals around him sensed his presence and they, too, ran away from their places. The man smirked to himself and sniffed the air.
"Fresh...so fresh..." He said hungrily, licking the bottom of his lip. "There is no way you can hide from me!" He said even louder and took off in a blink of an eye following their girl's scent.
Grace ran as fast as she could but somehow she knew she couldn't get away that easily. She have not seen any man scarier than that. She must be dreaming. She continued to ran through the dark forest and was about to turn to another direction when her feet got caught in between several vines and landed really hard on the ground.
"Itai!" (Ouch) she screamed in pain. She was about to look how bad the wound looks like when she felt someone in front of him.
"Oh my...what happened? Little red riding hood?" The man said playfully. "Did you hurt yourself?"
Grace squimered and kept her eyes closed. She couldn't look at the man, it will scare her even more than she already is. 'Somebody...help me..!!!'
The man smirked at this and his eyes turned even more red. "Well,...that is just what I needed." He finally said. " Now,...I'll make your blood mine!!!" He shouted with full excitement and without any hesitations he lifted himself in the air with his sharp nails towards his target. Grace knew it and screamed in fear.
'No way.....I'm going to die!'
"AAAHHHHhhhh!!!!"
Grace waited for the impact but nothing came instead she felt the man in front of her backed away very slowly. In fear?
'what the-'
Grace was about to open her eyes when the pain in her leg prevented her from doing so causing her to shut her eyes even thighter in pain. 'Ouch... my leg hurts so bad!' The vampire continued to backed away from the girl and fear can be heard from his voice. 'Now...what in the world is going one?!Ouch!'
The vampire watched himself backway from his desert and came face to face with the most fearful being of all. He stood behind the girl just five feet away with a killing intent.
"A-a..a...a pureblood..." The vampire said in a frightening tone.
Ryan didn't say anything as he stared at the level E vampire before him and the girl laying on the ground. His eye turned even more crimson when he smelled blood in the air. The blood came from the girl and he didn't like it. Ryan could feel his fangs grew longer but immediately forced it back.
The vampire knew he is dead if he fights back and with the way Ryan is starring at him he wont last long not if he run for his life.
"Running won't do you any good." Ryan said, death written in his voice. The vampire gasped realizing that the pureblood read his mind. Ryan made one step forward and this scared the hell out of the vampire. He turned to another direction running for his life but before he could go any further Ryan immediately used his powers, his eyes glowed dark crimson red, bursting the level E into dust. The wind blew pass them and made blew all the dust away.
Grace could feel that someone was behind her and that person just saved her. 'Someone...was...was here after all...wait- it couldn't onii-chan, right?! No way!' Grace continued to winced in pain with her eyes still closed. Yes, she didn't see it happened. 'Someone is here to help me but what just happened? Is the scary man gone now?'
Ryan calmed himself returning his eye color back to normal after sending the level E to it's death. He looked down at the girl on the ground and his expression became soft. 'Thank goodness, that thing didn't bite her.' He thought. The girl winced in pain holding her leg a little closer to herself. Ryan, in alarm, immediately went near her.
"Hey,..." He said trying to make her look up. "Its alright now. You are safe."
'Wait...that voice...does not belong to Onii-chan at all!' Grace thought in surprised. 'Then...he could it be? At this time?' Slowly, finally, she opened her eyes and saw a handsome, young man in front of her kneeling. His unique crimson eyes showed his full concern. 'Is he the one... who saved me?!' His skin is paler than hers, his hair is purely jet black and he has this unique eye color that Grace have not seen before. He was astonishingly gorgeous. The moon's light finally went through the trees giving them light.
"Are you alright?"
