XxValentines DayxX

The sun was beginning to set, turning the sky into a soft orange. Usually people would be relaxing around this time but instead, just outside the Moon Dorms, a group of screaming Day Class girls were trying to get in, boxes of chocolates in their hands.

"No! You can't go in!" Wakaba Sayori told them. Now that Yuki had joined the Night Class, she was chosen to replace her. She turned, saying "Zero, can you-" only he wasn't there.

"How did Yuki stand him?" she muttered, annoyed.

Meanwhile, inside the Moon Dorms the Night Class was getting ready for their classes.

"Geez, why does it seem that their louder then usual?" Ruka complained.

"It's Valentines Day, remember?" Akatsuki told her.

"That's no reason to act like savages." She snapped, making him sigh.

"Don't bother Akatsuki," Aidou said. He was standing by the door, ready to dash out to see the girls. "She's just upset that no guy like her because of her scary personality of hers."

"What was that?"

"Now, Now you two-"

"Shiki, how many chocolates do you think you'll get?" Ichijo asked. He was sitting across from Shiki and Rima, his books seated next to him.

Shiki shrugged. He was leaning slightly against Rima, his eyes closed.. "I don't care about Valentines Day."

"Well, what about you Rima?"

"All I care about is getting this guy off me," She said, pushing Shiki slightly.

"I'm tired," he said, not budging.

"Have some Blood Tablets."

"They don't taste good."

"Then don't complain."

"Ah, young love," Ichijo smiled at his two friends.

Before they could respond the Dorm President, Kuran Kaname, had descended down the staircase along with his sister, Yuki.

"Let's go," he said.

The screaming got louder as the gates opened. The girls had lined up in different rows behind small booths that had each Night Class surname on it. Some were so full that they had to be divided.

"IDOL-SENPAI!"

"WILD-SENPAI!"

"KURAN-SENPAI!

"SHIKI-SAMA!"

"ICHIJO-SAMA!"

"Why do I get 'Sama'?" Shiki said, looking disinterested.

"Because Shiki is great," Ichijo said, pulling his arm. "Now let's go greet our fans."

"Why?"

"Because it'll be fun!"

Rima rolled her eyes as she watched the two disappear. She started walking down the path, ignoring her booth even as guys shouted,

"Touya-San!"

"Touya-Sama! We have gifts for you!"

'Like I care' she thought. Like Shiki, she didn't care about this holiday, if it really could be called that.

"Rima-San?"

She stopped, blinking as a Day Class boy appeared in front of her. His breathing was a bit laboured, suggesting that he ran to catch up to her even though she was walking slowly. He had light brown hair that was kinda of shagged, and dark blue eyes.

"M-My names Kaien Anton, I-I got these for you," he said, holding out a two small box of chocolates. One was a brand that she didn't like, for it was too sweet for her taste. The other was a brand she'd didn't know.

"I-I m-made this one," he said, holding up the unnamed box.

Rima starred at him, not sure if she should accept.

"Be nice Rima!" Ichijo's voice sounded in her head. Mentally shuddering at the lecture she'd get on being polite, she silently took the boxes. Her hand slightly brushed his, making him blush noticeably.

"U-Um, S-So Rima-San," He stammered. "I was wondering you'd like to-to go out-"

"Rima, let's go, this is boring," Shiki had walked over, holding three boxes. He glanced at Kaien then at the boxes in her hands.

"That's all you got?" she said, noticing the ones in his.

"Like I said, I'm not interest in this."

"Alright." Completely forgetting about Kaien, they walked towards the school together.

"Oooh, look at all my chocolate!" Aidou exclaimed at his pile. "It'll take me a month to eat it all!" and he wasn't joking. The pile was two meters high.

"Well, looks like you loose again Akatsuki," he looked over at his cousin, who had a pile that was a foot and a half high.

"It's not a competition Hanabusa," he said but Aidou ignored him.

"Everything's a competition with him," Rima mumbled. She was sitting on one of the desks, starring into space.

"Who was that you were talking to?" Shiki asked her. He was leaning back in his seat, his head next her left leg.

"Just some Day Class kid," she said, glancing at the two boxes that were beside her.

"Are you going to eat them?" she suppressed a smirk at his tone.

"Maybe," She said, just to bug him. "But they're too sweet."

"I'll take them then!" Aidou said. "And you can't complain since you always steal my Pocky!"

"True," Rima agreed, throwing them over to him.

As the blonde vampire started on his pile, Shiki held up a rectangular box towards Rima.

"When-?"

"My line was next to his."

Putting a piece in her mouth, she leaned forward, resting her chin in her right hand and ran her hand through Shiki's red hair.

SLAM!

"Okay Vampires, sit down so I can teach and leave sooner." Yagari had come into the classroom, slamming the door open in the process.

"But I'm not finished counting my chocolates," Aidou said.

"I don't care." Yagari said coldly. Honestly, he thought the idea of those girls giving these demons gifts was disgusting.

Class went on as it always did. Everyone glaring at him, wishing they had Akatsuki's power so they could make him burst into flames. This feeling increased when he called on Kaname without using any honorific's with his name.

Rima wasn't paying attention. She was distracted by Shiki playing with her hair.

"Rima," he finally said after five minutes of this.

"What?"

"I'm hungry."

"Here," she tossed him a few Blood Tablets. He caught them in his mouth instinctively, scowling slightly.

"They don't taste good."

"Their not supposed to." She sighed. This was what felt like the hundredth time explaining this to him. "They're supposed to control Bloodlust."

"Then why don't they make them taste decent?"

'They do…you just like real blood more' she thought.

"Shiki, Touya, no talking in my class!" Yagari said. "If my lecture is boring, your free to leave."

The two vampires glanced at each other and stood at the same time.

They'd just past the Moon Dorm gates when he pinned her to the wall by her wrists.

"I want to lay down first," She said calmly.

"But I want some now. Since yesterday actually," he said admitted, making Rima raise an eyebrow.

"Your didn't say anything."

"You said I had to control my urges."

She sighed, though there was a hint of a smile on her face. Shiki always acted like a child when he got hungry for blood and made it known right away. For him to wait a full day was kind of impressive.

"Fine, just don't spill to much," she said.

He moved his face to the left side of her neck, licking it, his clear blue eyes turning crimson. She closed her eyes, gasping softly when his fangs punctured her skin. He let go of her writs, his right arm wrapping around her petite waist while his left went to move her hair so blood wouldn't soak it.

Rima gripped his back as he greedily gulped down her blood, not spilling a drop.

"Shiki…" she said softly once she started to feel light head. He detached his fangs from her, licking the blood that seeped through the two punctures in her neck.

He held her gently in his arms, resting his head on her shoulder.

"I got carried away again…sorry," he said quietly.

"I'll be fine in a minute," she said, moving her head so she faced his neck, extending her fangs.

"Let's go into town tomorrow."

"Can't we have a shoot, remember?"

By now Rima and Shiki were laying down in Rima's bed. His arm was wrapped around her as she laid her head on his chest. Usually the boys weren't allowed in the girls room at certain times but they never paid attention to it. They've shared a bed together since they were children. Almost make you wonder why Rima turned down Shiki being her roommate.

"Not 'till five and we'll be done by seven." Shiki said.

"What will we do?"

"I don't know." She rolled her eyes. "We haven't done anything alone together in awhile."

She couldn't argue with that. What with modeling and school they haven't had much alone time.

"Alright," she agreed. She got up, going to her dresser to get her nightgown. She went into the bathroom to change.

She slipped on her pale yellow nightgown, took out her pigtails, leaving the red ribbons on the counter. Usually she wore her black ones but Ichijo forced her to wear the red ones, what with it being Valentines Day. Normally she'd ignore him but sometimes with Ichijo, it was best to agree.

As she reached for her brush, she paused, feeling uneasy. Like she was being watched. She went over to the window, opening it and gazing into the night. It was a bit cool but nothing seemed unusual. She couldn't or smell anything. Still, she felt something was off.

"Rima?" she turned, jumping slightly. Shiki was standing in the door, shirtless, only wearing pyjama bottoms. "Everything okay?" he asked, yawning.

"Yeah," she said. She closed the window, drawing the curtains. "Just thought I felt something."

XxYour composed but I see who you really are
