POV: Kain.
I was walking out of the Moon Dorm gates with Aidou. As usual, there was almost the entire Day class fighting to get past the Disciplinary Committee and to us. I've always wondered, what would they do if the Committee failed to hold them back? What would they do to us? My thinking of what the Day class girls would do was interrupted by Aidou.
"Hey, baby." He said, with an arm around one of the Day class girls. I grabbed the collar of his shirt, and dragged him along. "Hey! Just because you can't get any from Ruka, doesn't mean I can't get any from anyone else!"
"Shut up, and walk." I closed my eyes. He always brings this up in public. Sometimes, too publicly.
There was a cough from behind us.
Me and Aidou turned around.
My mouth gaped open.
"Ruka!" Aidou explained. Her pale complexion had been replaced by one that was now scarlet.
She turned to Aidou. "Please don't be saying such things about me." And then she walked past without giving me a second look.
POV: Ruka.
Aidou's words echoed throughout my mind... 'Just because you can't get any from Ruka...'
Surely he had to be joking. Kain was... Kain. I'd never thought about him like that, and then that one sentence meant I hadn't been able to stop thinking about him like that!
I was stood in my room, on my own. I walked away from the window, and fell face down on my bed. Someone knocked at the door, and I called out a muffled "Come in!"
As soon as the door opened, his scent greeted me.
"Kain!" I sat up quickly, smoothing down my light brown hair.
"Ruka, about what Aidou said... It wasn't true."
"It wasn't?" I couldn't hide the disappointment from my voice.
He came and sat next to me on the bed. "You're disappointed? Why?"
"I don't know."
For five or ten minutes we just sat in silence, before Kain got up and left the room. I felt a tear slide down my cheek, and the door creaked open, just a little bit. "Don't cry." His soft voice echoed throughout my room, only making me cry harder.
It didn't matter how old I was in human years... in vampire years I was still a little girl. I was a confused, and sad little girl. Confused about who I liked, was it Kaname, or Kain? I wanted it to be Kaname... I'd always thought it was Kaname, until now. Sad about the fact that I was confused.
POV: Kain.
"How did you make her cry?" said Aidou.
"I just told you. I don't know." I sighed. Why did I ever talk to Aidou about problems? All he ever did was make everything much more complicated.
"Hey," he said, going completely off subject, "Have you got any blood tablets?"
"No, not on me." I got up, and went to my room.
I slept pretty soundly that day. I got up, and got dressed for classes. Just because I wasn't too fond of him – for causing the mess with Ruka – I decided I wouldn't wake up Aidou.
At the gates, I saw Ruka. I didn't know what to say to her, so I just walked straight past her.
In the classroom, Aidou staggered in, late (Thanks to me) and you could hear the eager screams of the Day class girls.
That's what happens when the Disciplinary committee can't hold back the Day class... I thought to myself, smirking.
When Aidou got up to where I was sat, he narrowed his eyes. "You're hilarious." He said, his voice full of sarcasm.
"Call it payback," I swiftly replied, "For the mess you made." I looked at Ruka. She was sat on her own, near the front. Anyone who asked her what was wrong, she would just tell to go away.
"What mess...?" He followed my gaze, "Oh. That mess." he whispered.
"Yes. That mess."
POV: Ruka.
I could feel him staring at me, but I was not going to turn around. I'm not sure why I wasn't. Maybe because I couldn't figure out if I liked him or not. Maybe because I didn't want to look weak, turning around
But either way, I wasn't going to turn– I turned around. I couldn't look away, not now. He just stared into my eyes, with an unwavering gaze. My brows knitted together, and I couldn't bear his stare any longer. I got up, out of my seat, and ran out of the classroom.
As I knew he would, he followed me out of the classroom.
"Ruka! Stop running." he called out to me. It only made me run faster. Something grabbed my wrist and stopped me right in my tracks.
"What?" I said, defensively.
"I... I don't know. I don't know why I followed you out here... Why did I follow you?" he said, looking at the floor, as if trying to figure something out. He looked up. "I lied."
"Lied about what?"
"What I told you. About what Aidou said. I do." He looked over his shoulder; down the corridor .
"You do what?" I knew what was coming, I just needed to hear him say it.
"Love you. I love you."
I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. His hand was still on my wrist, but was now sliding down, and eventually, his fingers entwined with mine. I looked down at the mess of fingers, and I felt my face go red.
Then his lips landed on mine.
