Chapter One: "Without you"
Young girls sure are…hyper, Kaname thought, as he watched three freshman girls giggle excitedly about the first day of school. What's the big deal? Just another boring year, especially since he isn't here…Kaname walked away from the window he was looking out of and stood in the middle of his room. His room was on the second floor in the Moon Dorm. He stood there for a moment and sighed, turning toward the door as he knew someone was about to knock. He opened it before they could. "Yes?" he said. It was Kain. "Kaname-sama, people are expecting you in ten minutes at the gate, and when I say "people", I mean ecstatic human girls. Just letting you know," he said, his voice deep and annoyed. Of course he was annoyed, it was cute the first year at Cross Academy, but now it's just silly. "Yes, thank you, Kain." Kaname closed the door and grabbed a book that was lying on his desk. It was titled "Control & Succeed". Why did Kaname still have to be here? He already knew pretty much all of the information he needed to know. "I guess I'll just have to suck it up and try to ignore the fact that I won't be able to see him... At least Yuki's still here," he murmured to himself. He walked out the door and into the brightly lit hallway, where many other vampires chatted happily.
As he walked down the hallway, the girls stared at him in awe. "He's even more handsome than last year!" one girl whispered to her friend. Kaname sighed. What is the point of whispering? he thought. They know I can hear them. Kaname smiled politely at the vampires he walked passed. "Good evening, Kaname-senpai!" a girl with jet black hair said to Kaname as he walked by. "Good evening," he said simply. Finally arriving at the gate, he joined the group of nobles that were waiting for him. "You ready?" Ruka asked Kaname. "I suppose," he answered. Everyone knew why he was acting different, but they didn't dare say anything about it. Kaname can become angry in the blink of an eye these days. Kain and Aidou stared at Kaname as he stood in the center of the group, waiting for the gate to open. "What are you staring at?" he asked, a bit irritated. He hid his irritation, though, because he knows that if he doesn't stay calm he might burst. They were quiet. Kaname sighed, about to open his mouth to say something, but just then the gate started to open. Here we go, he thought.
Human girls screamed with excitement as the Moon Dorm students walked on. "Hello, Aidou-senpai! " a group of girls said as they continued to walk. "Hello, ladies! Was I the one in your dreams last night?!" Aidou continued on, but Kaname blocked out the annoyance. Yuki was trying to push the girls away on one side, and on the other side… "If you ladies keep pushing, I'll make you cry," a familiar, quiet voice filled Kaname's right ear. He quickly looked toward the source of the voice, but saw no one there. Kaname half smiled at himself. Fool, now you're hearing things, he thought. He stopped and turned to face Yuki. "Hello, Yuki. Good to see you're still hard working as always," he said quietly. "O-Of course! It's my duty!" she said. All the girls stood still and stared at the two. "I want to talk to you alone, please meet me at the Moon Dorm tonight after your duties." He said. Yuki stared with those big brown-red eyes. Then, she finally managed to choke out, "Y-Yes!" Kaname smiled slightly and turned back around and lead the group of nobles to the Moon Dorm. They knew not to ask, but they were pretty sure they knew anyway. Kaname paused maybe twenty feet away from the door. He sensed a presence, but not just any presence, a very familiar one. It was inside the Moon Dorm, right on the other side of the door. With unbelievable pureblood speed, less than a half a second later, he was at the door pulling it open. Just then , a silver-grayish colored cat ran out and jumped onto a nearby tree branch. Kaname blinked. "What is this?" He asked, automatically looking at Aidou. It's obviously his doing. "I-I have no idea, Kaname-sama, I swear!" he replied. Kaname looked at the oddly colored cat once more and shrugged it off, entering the Moon Dorm.
Kaname was in class, standing near a window, pretending to read the book he was looking at. He was thinking about that cat. He looked out the window and sighed. Why do I keep thinking about some cat? What significance does it have for me? Kaname shook his head, closing his eyes. He had a huge headache since he woke up this evening, and he was already irritated. Damn him. How in the world was he going to be able to concentrate this year? What was the point, anyway? As the evening went on, and the professor babbled random crap about controlling your powers, Kaname became more and more irritated. He just wanted to be out of there. Finally, the professor dismissed the class. Everyone waited for Kaname to rise, but he was busy staring at his desk, thinking. The room was completely silent. Kaname looked up, realizing the dead silence, and got up and quickly left the room, with the others following behind him. Everyone went the opposite way Kaname did, his aura dark and angry. Takuma usually followed him to his dorm room, since his was right across from his, but he didn't. Something about Kaname's back said "Don't follow me, don't even look at me." He knew it wasn't an order, it was a desperate request.
How could he talk to Yuki now? He was irritated enough to punch a newborn kitten. He sighed. Get a hold of yourself, idiot! You are a pureblood, you're not supposed to be showing your anger. At least this pureblood wasn't. Kaname stopped and took a deep breath, sensing Yuki's gentle presence. He began to relax. Yuki ran up to Kaname, pausing a few feet away from him. She was smiling, completely oblivious of his mood, which was good. "I have finished my duties for the night, Kaname-senpai! What did you want to talk to me about?" she asked.
Kaname was silent for a moment, taking in her soothing aura. He walked closer to her, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Even after having a horrible day, you always have some way of calming me down, Yuki." He said the last word softly, although it screamed in her ears. As he figured, her cheeks turned pink. She didn't know what to say at that moment. Kaname smiled. "I don't know how you do it…" he murmured, reaching out to her and wrapping his arms around her, pulling her into a gentle embrace. He rested his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes. He was no longer irritated, just emotionally drained. He inhaled her sweet scent coming from her hair. At this point, Yuki was paralyzed. Practically her whole face was flushed.
"K-Kaname-senpai.. What are you doing?" she managed to ask. He slowly pulled away, letting her go. He smiled at her and said, "I just needed to..smell you, I apologize if I scared you." Yuki shook her head. "No, of course not! It's okay, really. But what did you want to talk about?" she asked. "I was wondering.. How is-"
"Zero!" Yuki shouted in the direction opposite of Kaname. He stood there staring at Yuki, wondering how she knew what he was going to say. No more than a second later, he figured it out. Yuki ran behind Kaname. Did his heart just stop? He couldn't tell. Finally, he turned around, seeing Yuki standing in front of a tall figure. No way.. he thought. Was he seeing things again? No, this time it was real. It was him. "Yo," a familiar voice said to Yuki.
