"A rose?" A calm but deep voice whispered in the darkness on the grounds of Cross Academy. The guardian pondered why a rose would have been cast aside but his mind never could come to a conclusion so he threw it back where he had found it.
His mind, however, was unable to let go of the beautiful sight of the rose almost glowing in the pale full moonlight. As he wandered the grounds trying to find something to distract him he pondered whither or not to go back to get the rose. In his thoughts and distractions he had little to no idea that he was being watched by the same person that had placed the rose there for him to find.
"Kaname- Sama…why are you watching that pitiful hunter?" Ruka said sharply pushing her long silver blond hair out of her elegant untouched face as she stepped next to him.
She had pondered why Kaname would find that hunter so fascinating and it almost irritated her as much as it did when he paid Yuuki more attention then she.
It took Kaname a moment to realize he was being spoken to before he finally looked away from Zero's silhouette just below the window.
"No reason… Just seeing what he was up to." He replied in his usual calm voice commanding but not cold.
Ruka closed her mouth to any further insults she was going to say about Zero and slipped away from him with a small bow. She knew that look that had crossed his eyes and the tone in his voice, it meant blood.
Kaname's eyes flashed red as he looked back to find that Zero had left his sight and he knew he would not be able to get his revenge on this night, but he would, he would wait just as he had swore on the night he found that the hunter had bitten his Yuuki.
Deciding to get back to the class he left the window and sat back in his seat. He would make Zero pay without spilling blood, he didn't want to see Yuuki cry anymore. He knew if he made her cry he would never forgive himself, yet he could not think of any way to hurt Zero that wouldn't make Yuuki cry…
Zero finally couldn't stand it and had gone back to get the rose. He knew it had to have been one of those vampires that had discarded it, only they would. Sighing he headed back into the school, ignoring Yuuki's questions about the rose as he headed back to his room. He could only wonder, however, what vampire had left it.
As he looked at the clock he shrugged and threw the rose down onto his nightstand before he removed his uniform. It would be best to get some sleep before the sun broke the sky it would only be an hour, Yuuki could handle it that long. He smiled to himself before slipping into the sheets.
Perhaps when he wasn't so exhausted he would find out whom left the rose and he quickly mentally smacked himself. He didn't care about a rose a vampire left around for some pitiful student to pick up, he was just glad he did before a student thought she had a secret admirer.
He grumbled to himself as he felt his fangs elongate as the first student he thought about was Yuuki. Cursing himself he turned over and punched his pillow before falling face first into the blanket. To hell with being a vampire, he had to refuse his urges…
