-Tsuki :P


On a regular day at Cross Academy, one would see young teenage girls in black clad uniforms crowding around a giant gate. But unlike those normal days, that day was rather quiet.

There were no squealing fan girls and no campus guardians trying to calm them down. Why?

The day class was on school break. But unlike them, the night class resumed lessons like normal. Yes, one might find this unusual but ominous clouds were looming over Cross Academy and the chairman had sent all the humans home.

The guardians were still on campus though. They were sitting in the main night class dorm along with the rest of the vampires.

"Please be careful around the campus these few days and make sure at least one person knows where you are at all times," Chairman Cross announced. The night class students all nodded and pretended to look as if they were really interested.

Chairman Cross smiled and clapped his hands together. "Alright then!" he got up from his seat and brushed his pants off. "Come Yuki, Zero. Let's go."

After the three left, Shiki turned to Rima, who was by his side as usual. "I think it's rather dumb that we have to do all this...the chairman doesn't know what the problem is."

"If there even is a problem," Rima scoffed. They were all used to the chairman's very overprotective and cautious personality. But most of the time, his predictions were right so they had all learnt to respect him.

Shiki prepared to walk back to his room with Ichijo and gave a tired wave to Rima as she and Ruka went off to theirs.


~Shiki's POV~

"Ichijo," I called to my roommate, who was undressing at the moment. "What do you think the problem is this time?"

"Honestly Shiki," Ichijo sighed as he unbuttoned his uniform top. "I don't know. Even Kaname seemed a bit puzzled."

"So Chairman Cross is going crazy?"

"H-Hey! I didn't say that!" Ichijo replied as he draped his shirt over a chair. "But I think the chairman's decision is right. I feel a little disturbed too."

I yawned and climbed into bed, not even bothering to change. "Rima's been acting a strange around me too."

"What? Really? No way. She seems normal to me," Ichijo laughed. I crawled under my blanket and propped my pillow up so I could talk to him properly.

"Ichijo...I'm serious. She...She seems more distant," my voice got softer at the last word. "Do you think it's because of what happened with...Rido?"

Ichijo froze when I said HIS name. But his smile returned in an instant. "No, Rima-chan still likes you. I don't think you two will ever be apart."

"We are apart right now," I pointed out.

"You know I don't mean it like that," Ichijo reassured. "But the girls and guy's dorms are pretty far apart..."


"Senri...you really are a splitting image of me...Born to do evil..."

"No...No...You're wrong. I'm nothing like you," I shouted back. But it was useless. My voice was hoarse and restricted...like I had been strangled of something.

"Don't deny it Senri...Look at what you did to your friend, Rima-chan..."

Immediately, Rima appeared behind HIM, Rido. She had a pained expression on her face and she was holding her side. Blood oozed through her fingers. "Shiki...You hurt me."

"No, Rima!" I ran towards her. "It was Rido! I...I didn't hurt you!"

"Just keep telling yourself that, Senri...But you will always feel the guilt inside your heart..."

Rido disappeared and soon Rima's figure began to fade away. I ran faster, but it seemed as if I was running on the spot. Just as Rima's body was about to disappear completely, the floor opened up below me. I fell downwards and stretched my hand out to try and grasp on to the remaining features of my friend.

"RIMA!"

I shot up in my bed. My whole body was shaking with fear. I looked around the room to make sure Rido wasn't there. Ichijo was still asleep and snored lightly.

I pushed the covers away and staggered to the bathroom. I yanked the tap upwards and water spewed all over the counter. I scooped up some cold water and splashed it onto my face. I looked up into the bathroom mirror and stared at my paler than usual reflection.

Then, my eyes changed into Rido's eyes and I splashed more water onto my face. When I looked up again, my eyes were MY eyes again.

I panted heavily then went to get dressed for class. Ichijo was already up and ready. He smiled when he saw me but that smile soon melted away when he saw my face.

"Shiki, what's wrong?" He asked. "You look...like you're scared of something."

"It's nothing, Ichijo," I lied. I didn't feel like telling him about my nightmare just yet.


"Morning, Rima," I called to her but she pretended she didn't hear me and walked on with Ruka. At least, I think she pretended to. I mean, I was five feet away from her.

"Rima," I called her again but she feigned ignorance once more. I pushed forward through the crowd of night class students and caught onto her arm. "Rima!"

She wrenched it free and walked faster. I was so shocked that I stopped walking completely. Other students looked at me with annoyed faces and pushed past me. But I didn't care.

Rima...she just...ignored me. Ichijo caught up with me since he was at the back talking to Kaname. "Hey Shiki, where's Rima-chan?"

I just stood there, with my mouth hanging open. "Ichijo...Rima's avoiding me."

"What?"

Aido and Kain also joined us soon, since Aido forgot his books and the two cousins had to go back to their room to retrieve them. Aido was joking about something when he stopped by us. "Hey Shiki, where's your girlfriend?"

Ichijo gave him a warning look but he continued anyways. "What, she ditched you?"

"Hanabusa..." Kain tried to stop his cousin from saying anymore.

"I don't know, Aido..." I answered softly. "I don't know what's going on."

Aido kept quiet after that and the five of us(including Dorm leader Kuran) walked in silence to class.

I expected to see Rima at our usual seats but she sat further down with some other girls I didn't know. I slid into my seat next to Ichijo and rested my chin on my palm.

Rima, what's going on?


Okay, that's the first chap. What did y'all think? I know it's pretty short but my mom complained about my sleeping late so I had to finish this up. I thought I might as well end it there. Sorry if you wanted it to be a little longer, ^^;
