Arisu, followed closely by Kaname, joined the rest of the Night Class in the main foyer before they headed for school.
"Are you sure you're…"
She cut him off; it seemed he wouldn't let it go. "I'm alright; I can't miss class." Kaname had politely asked her numerous times to stay back in the dorm for the night. She didn't want to.
Kaname took one apologetic glance at the girl before the large gates opened to a large group of swooning girls.
Aido was making a fuss in the front, as usual. From the sounds of it, he was making the day class students envy Yuuki. The poor girl could never catch a break. Suddenly the girls were dead quiet. Arisu could sense the reason before anyone could react: Zero had returned.
She winced at the memory of her last meeting with Kiryu. Her hand flew instinctively to her neck, cradling the spot where she was bitten. She felt Kaname stiffen next to her.
The girls could be heard complaining and groaning at Zero's instructions. A few moments passed before the Night Class started moving.
"Zero, welcome back!" Yuuki greeted her partner.
Zero looked past her to the couple still within the Moon Dorm walls; Kaname and Arisu. He looked from Kaname's glare to the soft, apologetic look of the girl next to him.
Arisu finally lowered her hand and used it to grab at Kaname's arm. She lightly pulled at it, indicating that they should join the others. The two of them walked towards the guardians, Yuuki looked on at Arisu. It looked like she had something to say.
Arisu took a step past the gates as her world spun. She gripped onto Kaname to keep her balance.
He turned to her, "please." It was his last try.
"I think I will go back to my room," Arisu muttered quietly. She could feel Kaname's eyes on her back as she reentered the dorm. It wasn't until the doors were closed behind her that she felt Kaname move towards school.
She leaned against the doors with a sigh. Zero and Yuuki were leaving to patrol the grounds. After pushing herself off of the door, Arisu headed up to her room and fell onto her couch. She was still weak from being drained by Zero.
The back of her hand rested atop her forehead as she gently closed her eyes. It had only been a full day since her blood had been drawn; maybe one more day of rest would cure her. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Arisu awoke to the sudden feeling that everyone had returned. She looked to a nearby clock; class should still be in session. Something was wrong. She got up quickly and ran down to the meeting room. The group of Noble Vampires that clung to Kaname were lounging in the main foyer.
Kaname was outside, walking towards the dorm. And Zero was waiting for him. She had to do something. Arisu ran for the door, wrenched it open, and ran out; the door shutting quickly behind her. Someone had questioned her, but she ignored them.
She could feel them shift within the dorm, but they didn't open the door. They knew to keep their distance.
"Kaname, who is the true enemy of the purebloods Maria told me about?" Zero questioned him, stepping away from his tree.
Kaname stopped walking to look at Arisu. "There's no need for you to know that."
"True enemy?" Arisu was breathing heavily after running. She looked to Zero, who looked hurt and confused. "What's going on?"
Kaname gently put his hand atop Arisu's head, "I have everything handled." His hand slipped to her cheek.
Her hand cupped over his, she looked up into his eyes. He wasn't going to answer any questions; not here at least. "Alright," she gave into him. She peeked around him to see Zero still standing there.
Zero had caught her eye. The look she was giving him, he couldn't understand it. He huffed before turning his back on the purebloods as he stormed back to campus.
Kaname slipped his hand from Arisu as he continued his way back to the dorm. Arisu followed closely behind him. They entered the dorm to the Noble Vampire's resting on the couches.
"Lord Kaname?" Aido questioned.
"Everything's alright," Kaname stopped any further questions.
Arisu's world turned as she grabbed onto Kaname. She could feel the other vampires stiffen. They knew that she was a pureblood; but they didn't know who she fully was. Of course they'd be worried at how close the unknown pureblood was to their precious Lord Kaname.
She released her grip on Kaname as she took a step back. "I think I'm going back to my room." She turned from the group as she headed up the stairs. Arisu entered her room, changed for bed, took two blood tablets, and slipped into sleep.
