Title: Heights of Beauty

Ratings: T or K+ (Who knows?)

Pairing: Shiki/Yori

-

Despite being a model, Shiki was not what you would call tall. Honestly speaking, he mostly model for make-up products or a Lolita style of clothing, things that only required a pretty face and a cool attitude.

Which was why, along with his experience, the headmaster chose him to represent the Night Class for promotion photos. He was to do them with another girl from the Day Class to show the 'equality' in the school to abort the negative rumors.

This just basically meant he was trying to sucker more kids to attend the school after all the vampire attacks.

"Oh is this the other model?" He heard one of the make-up artists ask. Looking up, he noticed a short-haired girl standing beside the headmaster. He watched with mild interests as she answered the questions given to her by the cast.

"Oh, aren't you a tall one? How tall are you?"

"173 cm."

"Wow…and your only 15? You'll have the height of a top model in no time!"

"Thank you"

"You're eyes are the darkest shade of that I color I've ever seen! Are you wearing contacts?"

"No"

"What pretty golden hair! Have you ever thought of growing it out? You'll look much cuter with it!"

"It's too much of a hassle."

As they continue to pester her with questions (some getting abnormally personal), the designers finally decided to break it up and get her into make-up. Around this time, the headmaster decided to introduce them.

"Now Yori-chan, this is Shiki Senri, I think you've seen each other before."

"It's nice to meet you, Shiki-san." She said politely. He noticed that her tone was more indifferent then shy. He responded with a nod, which seemed to satisfy the headmaster as he left them with the designers and artists.

After he was done, the designers were sent to get their outfits. Shiki wondered why they didn't just get them while they were putting on the make-up. He glanced at Yori, who was resting peacefully, despite that she was wearing a wig that flowed all the way to her ankles. Before he knew it, a small smile came to his lips. She did look better with long hair. He thought as he softly touched her skin.

"You know you're very short for a model." She commented casually, her eyes still closed. "And I don't exactly like the idea of being molested during my nap."

Appalled, Shiki stepped away, a huge blush on his cheeks. For a moment he was more grateful that she was closing her eyes so that she wouldn't see it. However, his thanks were quickly gone as she opened her eyes lazily. Unfortunately, his expression had not change and she looked at him, amused.

"You're so cute." She remarked as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Which, it might as well be.

Standing up, she walked towards him to observe his face. "Yep, you're very cute."

He didn't blush this time and instead, tried his best to remain apathetic to the situation. "I didn't do anything. Besides, you're only a few centimeters taller then me." He retorted.

"But I'm tall for a Japanese girl." She replied. Before he could say anything else, the designer's returned with two outfits.

"Um…am I interrupting anything?" the designer raised an eyebrow as the headmaster gave a smirk of amusement. Shiki then noticed their lack of distance.

"It's nothing." Yori answered coolly, though he could have sworn she was smiling a look of triumph. "Are those the clothes we're wearing?" she asked.

The designer nodded and handed them over. Both were embellished, Victorian styles of their uniforms and fit them rather nicely. As they finished changing (in different rooms, of course), they were explained the theme of the photos.

"Now, many students are opting to be in the Night Class. This isn't a bad exactly but there are some qualities that keeps them from getting in." Shiki almost snorted at that but only kept his bored face. "We want to discourage them from joining the Night Class while encouraging them to join Cross Academy. So we want the pictures to symbolize an equal relationship. Yin and Yang! Light and Darkness! Chocolate and Vanilla!"

"We get it" They said unison, causing each looks with each other.

"Great! Now let's get started!" The headmaster announced.

So for the past half hour, Shiki and Yori began to work. Most of the positions weren't intimate, some were even singles. During the shoot, however, Yori found out that the reason the headmaster picked her was because they needed a girl tall enough to play the whole 'balance' part. Whatever that meant. Needless to say, she felt rather insulted but ignore the feeling until this whole thing was over.

Finally it was time for the final picture. Yori wondered how her lying in an eternal sleep while Shiki pretending to be a vampire and biting her would represent the school. It didn't seem realistic unless the whole student body was made of vampires. Which was impossible!

"Now get into your positions!" He heard the photographer yelled.

Yori laid down in a fairly dignified position. She seemed rather content with this situation, Shiki, on the other hand, was far from content. After working 30 minutes without a break and without blood, he was rather…agitated and he'd be lying if he said that Yori's neck didn't look incredibly delectable…

Slowly bending down for the pose, he felt his fang brush across her neck, causing a shiver from the blonde girl. Subconsciously, he pricked his teeth into the soft skin, now gaining a gasp from her. If he wasn't so tired, he would've applauded her for her composure.

"That's it! Great job!" He heard the photographer compliment. Now, acknowledging that he bit her, he quickly pulled back and looked at the awakening girl.

"Ouch!" she muttered angrily, touching her neck. It wasn't deep but it still pinched.

Shiki felt that he should give an explanation but the words couldn't come out. Instead he turned and quickly walked away, ignoring her call.

Yori was less then amused when she saw him leave. "That…"

"THAT PERVERT!"

She was so confronting him tomorrow.

The very next day…er…night, Yori walked with Yuki and Zero, causing stares. Yori never came to the Night Class entrance. She almost took away their attention. Almost.

"Shiki!" she yelled the minute she saw him. Her voice was drowned out by the other girls' cooing so it was hard for him to hear her. Deciding to take advantage of the fact that both Zero and Yuki were distracted by the girls, she marched up to him, attaining glares and noises of disproval from the others.

In one swift movement, she held her hand in the air and reminded herself to be composed afterwards.

Slap!

A long period of silence came to the scene. Taking a breath, Yori returned to her normal collected self, obviously feeling better.

"Listen, I don't know what kind of kinky stuff you're into, but if you ever bite me without permission and then leave. You will be getting more then a slap, understand?" she demanded forcibly.

Looking at her, Shiki gave her an abnormally happy smile, shocking some of the Day and Night Class occupants.

"Does that mean I can bite you if I get permission?" he asked curiously.

Before she knew it, her face burned with embarrassment with his words. She was right-he was a pervert! However, not having time to respond, Shiki smiled once again.

"You're so cute." He stated and took a step up to her.

"Wha-!"

"Yep, you're very cute." He added, and within a swift movement, tipped toed and gave her a kiss. Saying goodbyes, and leaving Yori shocked, he left without any other words. The girls, now interested, moved to the stunned student.

"What happened?!"

"How do you know each other?"

"Lucky!"

"What do you mean by bite?"

Yori, coming to her senses, glared at his back. How dare he?! Now she has to deal with these morons!

"Uh…Shiki…what was that about?" He heard his friend Ichijo ask. Rima stayed silent but he could tell she was interested.

"Nothing…absolutely nothing…I just think I should get a little taller." He remarked causally, causing confusion with his friends.

Revenge is Sweet…
