A vampire knight fandom with a twist of genetic mutation and X-Men. Sorry. Couldn't help it. I've been too obsessed with X-Men first class.
Hope you enjoy it. :]]]
Summer night stars, winter night sky 1
The wind whooshes pass him, his long honey colored hair flutters due to the wind. The man sighs and pushes his glasses up before he proceeds to proofread the paper his daughter asks him to.
The wind whooshes pass him again and this time, he looks up and a black crow settles atop his desk cawing uncontrollably. His eyebrows furrows in curiosity. Why is this bird here? And how the hell did it get into his study when he's sure that he didn't let his window wide enough to let a bird in? And why is it cawing like it's the end of the world?
Sighing again at his undying curiosity, Kaien held out his hand to touch the animal's beak, hoping that the gentle gesture can calm it down and also hoping to have a firm grasp on the bird's mind.
Help me.
The anonymous thought hits him like a ton of brick. He eyes the crow and touches its head gently, calming the animal down with his telepathy.
Please, help me. I need you.
Kaien narrows his eyes at still-cawing crow and mumbles "Who are you?"
Oh please, help me. I can't stand it any longer. It hurts so much.
This time, the honey colored hair man seems alarm. The bird caws again, this time more frantically and he finally pieced it together: the bird is possessed by a mutant and that mutant needs his help. (That was oddly quick, but hey, He's a genius and no genius is slow.)
"Where are you?" he asks and picks up the bird before setting it on his arm as he walks out of his study. He telepathically wakes Yagari and Kaito as he walks down the hall to biggest room down the corridor.
Thank god. I'm in a facility, somewhere in North Korea.
"We'll be there soon." Kaien replies to the cawing bird and takes off his glasses as he scans in his eye signature.
Please. Hurry! They're going to torture me again!
This time, the bird caws and pecks his shoulder violently.
"Please, just let me touch your mind for a bit." Kaien says and touches the bird's head again, this time his mind delves into the mind that possesses the birds. His mind touches a hint of silver and vanilla and the blooming Sakura flowers. Then another presence comes onto him like a rain of silver bullets; a feeling of pain, anger, hurt, sadness and blood. Then there's nothing but a scream of unimaginable agony and everything's gone. White hot pain bursts in his mind and he snaps back to reality.
Gingerly, Kaien frees the bird from his grasps and it flees away.
He takes a deep breath and sent a mental message that says something about a mutant needing help and letting both Yagari and Kaito into the Cerebro's lab.
Kaito wakes up with the professor's telepathic wake-up call before getting out of his room, his head is heavy from sleep. The man meets his mentor halfway down the corridor and they walk toward the lab together. Dutifully, the younger male scans his eye and allows his mentor to enter the lab before him and he follows suite.
The machine hums softly as Kaien turns it on. The two stands quietly besides the chair that Kaien sits in and brace themselves for a thrilling experience. The screens that surround the cubic room come to life immediately after Kaien puts on the see-through plastic helmet and they immediately feels like they're floating in space. Seriously, even Kaito- who made the goddamn machine- couldn't understand how a mind of telepath can do this to his invention. But whatever.
A few moments pass and they zoomed into a country that looks suspiciously like North Korea. They travel thousands kilometer per second around the country, passing countless greyish pink and a few blood-red condensed sparkling fog in the form of humans. A few minutes pass, or maybe it's hour; they don't know, it's easy to lose track of time when they're in Cerebro, and they starts to slow down and focus on a girl.
There's something about her. Something familiar, but Kaito can't quite put his hands on it. The flowing silver hair. The cute face with big grey eyes, pert nose and full-bloom pink lips. He met someone like this before, but he can't quite remember who it was.
"Pick her up. She's on the western side of the outskirt of Pyongyang." Kaien mumbles and they seem to circle around the girl.
"Right. Western side." Yagari says lazily and scratches his head in a sleepy way.
"Can I just sleep this off?" he continues.
"You can't." Kaien replies and put down the helmet.
"Make Zero go pick the kid. They're both cute and have silver hair, I'm sure they'll bond." The blue hair man replies, his argument sounding a bit childish; okay so maybe not a bit but extremely childish.
"Don't be silly Yagari. Now go." Kaien says and give the both of them a mental nudge.
"Fine fine." Yagari mumbles and walks out.
Kaito turns to nod at Kaien and says "We'll try and be here before dawn." Then he walks out as well.
Kaien smiles and mentally tell them: don't do anything reckless!
Then Kaien adds telepathically that he'd send them the girl's coordinate.
Hurrying down the hall toward his mentor, Kaito mentally starts up the engine to the jet using his technopathy and rant about what Yagari shouldn't do to avoid causing problems for Kaien to fix; in which the eye patched man ignores.
It's still early in the morning but the silverette is already in his class, sipping the god awful coffee-that the chairman concocted for him when he skipped breakfast this morning- and watching the wavering branches of the trees besides the windows.
Seriously, what did the man put in this? God, it tastes like an aged and dirty gym sock soup. Bleh- disgusting!
With that though in mind, he quickly walks to his desk and puts the cup into the trash bin under his desk. He sighs and decides to go back to being useless and examine the fascinating movement of the bared branches caused by the autumn wind.
Summer had already passed and the new school year started about two weeks already. Life comes and goes as it please. New students came and the number of people-mutants- in the school increases. The academy is quite successful actually. They built it from scratch years ago and now, there are hundreds of mutants around and its educating system was accepted by the government about four years ago; so year, it's quite an accomplishment and Zero is proud to be part of it. But he's sure that Kaien might have done something to government's mind to have them accepted like this. Well, whatever. At least they're accepted and the students won't have to suffer like he did. The kids won't to go through the phase of discrimination and inequality. They won't be called names-freak-, become unwanted-hated, disgusted-, and unloved-by their fa-
He instantly steps on the emergency brake on the train of his thoughts when it flashes across his mind. Zero inhales and exhales slowly, calming himself down; and when he is calm, he decides to take a seat and go through today's lesson plan. He taps the tip of his pencil gently on to the desk as he did so- just making sound so that he won't feel alone.
A few minutes pass and the door to his class open and he furrow his brows. The bell hasn't ringed yet and he's more than sure it's just around 7:30, so who is it that is such a diligent student to come to class this early?
Looking up, his lilac orbs meet with a pair of chocolate orbs that scrutinizes his entire soul. He lost himself in those endless pools of bitter sweet color, feeling like his entire being is sucked into them.
Kuran is extremely powerful, he's telekinetic and a telepath to boot; basically he's a psionic manipulator. A prodigy. A born prodigy. And being a born prodigy is something. Truth be told, even Kaien, who is a prodigy himself, admitted that Kaname is powerful, and his telepathy will surpass him one day and that will only amplify the extent of his telekinetic power. He might one day be unstoppable. Now that's scary. Being powerful to the point of unstoppable is never good news. (It is a fact that is confirmed by none other than Zero himself. Truth be told, the saying that power will not grant you everything is absolutely true as well; as Zero had learned through his experiences). One day, Kuran will loses everything; his love, his life. Everything. Anything. Nothing.
The teen is smart too. Straight As student. Never get no Bs in his entire life, even in Zero classes for the past 2 years; so yeah, that's something, again. Even got As during Physical Education with Yagari and he's one of the best fighters in the academy. The topic of Kuran Kaname's perfection is still on debate in the teacher's room till this very day and Zero has to say that he never ever has a say in that discussion. Because really, defending the boy would only make strengthen his attachment to him.
He's also rich, the sole heir to the Kuran's conglomerate. Seriously, his entire clan is whipped out by his phsyco uncle. That makes him the sole survivor of the Kuran's family. He has no competition for the position that is meant for him. Still, even if there are still other Kuran out their; no one can take away his position as heir on the Kuran's throne. It is rightfully rich. So yeah, he's like, filthy rich.
Well, basically; he's perfect. A dream comes true for every girl his age. But of course he has a past. Everyone here in this school either has a past or has none at all; and, unfortunately, Kaname's one of those in this school that has a past. And if Zero remembers correctly, Kaname's past, according to Kaien, rivals his own. And a past that rivals his is something, again for the third time.
So yeah, he's something (for the fourth time just to annoy you guys).
The door slides open again and Kaname looks away, outside to the waving branches. Zero turns to the one that disturb the peaceful moment between him and his student, Wait, what? Ugh, whatever, to see Yuuki walking in.
The brunette winks at him and goes to her seat in the front row. She rummages through her bag for a bit and produces a book and a pencil.
"Are you doing your homework in class?" Zero asks and Yuuki slides her tongue out at him before she goes to Kaname's desk and makes him explain what she has to do. (That girl! How did she even manage to get into this advance class when she needs help with Biology homework?)
God, Zero can listen to that voice forever and never get bored.
The bell rings two minutes ago and he's not in class yet. His biology teacher is going to murder him. The grey hair dude doesn't even have to try. All he has to do is lift a finger, set it on him and he's dead. Scratch that, all the guy has to do is look at him and he's dead; that's what rumors that circulate around the school say, he's just repeating after it though he's sure it's an exaggeration.
The blonde reaches his classroom few minutes later. He quickly slides the door open and slam it shut again and hurries to his seat in the second row.
"So good of you to joint us Aido. I hope you did your homework." Zero says, his expression neutral; and it kinda freaks the blonde out a bit.
"Home-work?" Aido answers, enunciating the syllables in a confusing way.
Zero narrows his eyes and Aido swallows thickly, before he turns back to teaching. Aido let out a breath of relief and slumps into his seat, he's spare and let to live another day- thank gods for bestowing him such wonderful gift that is called life. Kain that sits right next to him ruffles his hair and give the blond a peck to his lips. Ruka rolls her eyes dramatically. Zero clears his throat (How can he see that? Weren't he has his back facing them? Did he have another pair of eyes on his back or something?) And the carrot top turns back to the lesson.
20 minutes pass and the lesson went on. Most of the class pays attention to the lecture, because they want to pass the test; obviously, while some students drift off somewhere faraway. Seriously, if Zero pays more attention to his room; he'd know that most of the students don't pay attention- well, half of 'em cause 4 is half of 10; right? Not! Whatever. He doesn't really care if they pay attention or not, they slacked off since the 1st year of high school and still passed with flying colors; they're all geniuses after all so it's no surprise there.
He was in the middle of explaining the front part of the brain when someone knocks on the door. The door slides open and Zero turns to look at the intruder. He's a bit surprise to see Kaito at the door, looking worn out and in dire need to food or sleep or both. The sandy hair man isn't supposed to be here, he's supposed to be on a rescue mission in North Korea.
"The chairman needs you." Kaito says.
The students in the class turn to look at their science teacher and furrow their brows at the hastiness in Kaito's voice. Strange. Kaito is extremely calm, cool and collected. He shouldn't be like this.
Zero furrows his brow in confusion and tilts his head in a questioning manner.
Kaname turns to look at Kaito and the two seems to share a brief conversation in their head. Then the brunet teen gives his science teacher a curt nod.
Suddenly, Zero feels something or someone probing his mind. And when that someone breaks through his mental defense and floods his mind with his presence, Zero looks up to the said person that is mentally intruding him: Kaname Kuran. The silverette glares at his student.
His other students glance amidst themselves and Yuuki and Yori mutter something he couldn't quite get it.
The girl they rescued from the facility in North Korea is severely injured. Your immediate assistance is needed.
With that, Kaname retreats immediately; not waiting for his biology teacher's reply.
Zero turns to the class and told them to behave before he leaves with Kaito, urgency hot on his heels.
On their way to the stairs, Seiren- the quite teleporter- suddenly appears right in front of them with a puff of lavender smoke and a trail of lavender ash.
"Let me assist you." She mutters and grabs onto their forearms and teleport to the front of the infirmary, which is supposedly on the other side of the school and will take them a while before they can reach it on foot. (Zero is sure she's doing this because Kaname asked her. Such a loyal companion.)
Before Kaito or Zero can say anything, the girl disappears again; leaving her trademarks behind. Zero makes a mental note to thank Kaname; that is if he remember or care enough to.
Kaito tugs Zero inside by his elbow. The room is a bit too bright for Zero's liking. He hears a snoring somewhere, suspiciously in the bed that is surrounded by sky blue curtain; he thinks that it's his mentor snoring the morning away- compensation for last night sleep that was interrupted by the chairman and the mission the man deemed stupid. When he walks pass the bed that, according to Zero's suspicion, his teacher is sleeping in; he sees another bed that is also occupy. On the bed lay a petite girl, so small her size rivals Yuuki's. Kaien is sitting on the right side while the school nurse, who is a healer, sits on the left side; her hands glows in the color of gentle green that is associated with life.
He tilts his head to his right when his eyes meet with the long glowing silver hair.
"She looks familiar." Zero mutters.
"I know. She's so familiar but I just can't remember who it is." Kaito replies and takes to sit at the edge of the bed while Zero sits on the bed next to the nurse.
"Anyway." The chairman says, diverting their attention from the girl's familiarity with someone they shouldn't remember then continues "Be a dear and heal her Zero, she's severely injured."
Zero turns to look at the school nurse questioningly and the woman say "Organs wounds especially the lung. Broken ribs. Toxic chemicals in her blood vessel. Unhealed injuries since way back."
The silverette give the blonde a curt nod. Those wounds are going to be a bitch to heal. And he'll need a lot of life source, trees or blood could do. Zero takes a deep breath as he closes his eyes and opens them back when he exhales. He roams his hand over the girl's body, in a non-perverted way; searching for the injuries that needs to be healed. He starts with the lung injuries first. The girl needs to breathe properly if he wants her to survive smoothly.
Everyone left the room, accept for the sleeping guy on the bed next the girl's, and left Zero to do his business.
The students starts to gather their belonging when they realized that the bell is about to ring. Yuuki grins happily at her best friend that sits right next to her. She's glad that Zero doesn't have enough time on his hands to punish her for not doing her homework and copying Kaname's. She hums softly as she catches up to Yori and walk past Aido. She's sure the blonde ice manipulator is also grateful that Zero is busy, he did forget about the homework that Zero assigned for them after all. The pair of girls quickly goes to their next class: history.
Aido sighs as he waits for his cousins, seriously; why can't the two be faster? God. Apparently, Ruka is talking to Kaname. Goodness, it's going to take forever for the girl to finish her conversation with the teen. Can't Kaname just mentally make her stops talking to him and sends her off?
The brunet in question tilts his head and stares at Aido.
Oops. He must be projecting it again. Christ, keeping your thoughts to your self is quite hard when you have a telepath in the room.
Kaname looks at him again and Aido grins sheepishly. The prodigy says something to Ruka and the girl turns to glare at him. Uh oh. Kaname must have told her about what he just broadcast. Fuck. He's screwed.
That's when he runs for it and Ruka follows closely behind. He hopes Ruka's not going to cast him into an illusion or something, because he doesn't think he can survive if she did- actually, he's certain he will die because of Ruka's illusion.
Kain sighs and excuse himself to stop Ruka from killing his darling. Kaname nods and absently get out of his seat and walks with his best friend, Seiren follow loosely behind.
Takuma's telling him something about mutant's senate or whatever. He listens attentively taking the information. Then he stops dead in his track, his auburn eyes staring at the tree that is slowly withering. The blonde next to him notice this and turns to look out the gigantic window and into the beautiful garden that cover the academy ground.
"Looks like sensei is healing someone." Takuma says softly, the smile never leaving his lips.
"Who?" the blonde continues.
"She's badly injured." Kaname replies quickly.
He feels his best friend raising a fine brow in questioning manner in his mind; he didn't know Kaname can read mind that fast.
"I read it from Kaito-sensei's mind." Kaname continues.
"Hmm." Takuma hums softly.
She seems familiar.
With that sentence in his mind, Takuma turns to look at his best friend. Switching to mental conversation abruptly like this means one thing and one thing only: it's serious or/and personal.
How so?
Her look is a bit similar to someone I know.
Just how much did you read from Kaito-sensei's mind?
He projected the girl's physical appearance.
Hmm. Do I know this someone?
Perhaps.
Hair color? Or maybe her eyes?
Silver.
Silver?
Hair and eyes. Same color.
There is a silence that stretches between the two of them while Takuma rummages through his genius brain to search for someone that has silver hair and silver eyes. There aren't a lot of people with such appearance. Only two of them if he remembers and one of them is their Biology teacher. The other one is a female. He's sure. But who.
Hmmm.
Oh! OH!
Your aunt?
That mental question makes Kaname stops walking and stares at his childhood friend.
"What?" Takuma asks aloud.
That's it. Kaname says into his head.
And Takuma froze, completely horrified.
"Shit." He mutters the curse under his breath and the full length window next to them cracks.
TBC
So, how was it? Did you enjoy the crazy ride?
Tell me what you think 'Kay?
Buh-bye. :]
