Chapter one: A New Moon
The late winter breeze blew by and tousled the long, asian-blonde dyed hair of Arisu Kaiyori, who had just stepped onto the territory of Cross Academy- a boarding school in which both vampires and humans coexisted. She took off her dark sunglasses and revealed her mysterious grey orbs, that studied every aspect of the campus. Finally, she thought, after all the preparing and work, I am here.
The large ancient gates opened before the petite blonde, and revealed the two prefects of the school: Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu, she observed, taking in their appearance thoroughly. Yuuki smiled cheerfully at the newcomer and introduced both herself and Zero, who was in a foul mood for the headmaster had ordered him to accommodate a revolting vampire into his abode. Arisu nodded politely in acknowledgement and also greeted a short introduction, ignoring the heated glare that was being emitted from a very annoyed Zero. They walked the path to the headmaster's quarters, while at the same time Arisu memorized the field surrounding her. She entered through the wooden doors of the Chairman's office and was immediately stunned, as something... or rather someone covered in faux fur, glomped her.
"Arisu Kaiyori! It's so nice to have you join my academy of precious students!" Kaien Cross beamed.
"Thank you," she smiled, trying not to be overwhelmed, "It's an honor to be here... Headmaster Cross?" she guessed.
"Yes that is me. And did I tell you how much I adore your works! See, I'm wearing your faux fur coat from your 'LoveAlice' clothing line and using your facial treating cosmetics 'Smiling Skin'!" he squealed, giddily.
"Headmaster," the blonde sighed. "Those are for girls."
However Cross's blinding smile did not fade. "But they look wonderful on me too," he said, while twirling and posing. Zero glowered at the goofy old man from his gloomy position in the corner, not liking the familiar treatment the bloodsucker was receiving.
Once the overly exuberant headmaster calmed down, thanks to Yuuki's chiding and a cup of tea (which Arisu reluctantly stayed for due to Kaien's nonstop pleading), Arisu signed the documents deemed necessary and acquired her new schedule as well as her night class uniform. After an awkward, rib-crushing hug from the headmaster and his wish for her to enjoy her stay at the academy, Arisu went outside into the twilight sky and once again allowed herself to be escorted by the two guardians. As the building of the night class became clearer in view, so did the blobs of many female students clothed in black. Arisu could not help but slightly cringe at the sound of the girls' screaming in a powerful, high-pitched manner. It seems I've arrived at a bad time.
"What the hell is with this incessant mad screaming?" she hissed, covering her sensitive ears while Zero smirked, seeing the vampire in discomfort.
Yuuki looked at her apologetically, "Sorry. It's kind of like this everyday with the day class girls. They're very huge fans of the night class."
Arisu rolled her eyes and chuckled. "Ah the vampire's trademark beauty, such a distraction. It must be hard for you two," she noted. Her last sentence made Zero's eyes narrow into a glare, not enjoying the sympathy coming from something like her.
Yuuki cutely blushed and rubbed her head in embarrassment. "We're used to it. It's our job after all. Ah, excuse me," She turned and marched toward the day class fans. "Hey it's pass curfew for all day class students! Please get back to your dorm! AHH, no don't block the gate! Stop pushing!"
Arisu shifted her attention to Zero. "I think you should help your little girlfriend before she gets flattened into a pancake," she suggested. Zero's eyes slightly widened at the word 'girlfriend' and struggled a bit to regain his composure.
"She's not my girlfriend," he muttered. "I don't like her like that."
"Yeah, and I don't like blood," she retaliated sarcastically.
Zero's glare hardened at her sick joke and roughly brushed past her. "Fuck off, vampire... And don't tell me what to do." But nonetheless, he moved to aid Yuuki in controlling the crazy crowd.
Ooh scary, Arisu mocked. Just what I need.
The fair-haired blonde moved closer to the shade of the tree away from the crowd and took out her cellphone to check the time. She noticed a few girls around her staring and whispering. Curious and having nothing else to do besides waiting for the prefects and the gate to open, she listened in on their conversation while pretending to play around on her iphone.
"...new girl. I can't really see but she kinda looks like her."
"Do you think it's her?"
"It couldn't possibly be. But do you think she's in the night class?"
"I hope not, what if she steals our idols away?"
Arisu could not help but turn to the group of girls and flash a one billion dollar vampire smile in their direction. To her amusement, their reactions were just as she had predicted. They blushed and few shyly smiled or waved back. She turned back to her phone and heard their contained giddy squeals.
"Oh my gosh! It's THE Alice Kaiyori!"
"In Cross Academy! She's definitely got to be in the night class!"
"I love her designs and her photography gallery! I have a few pictures in my room!"
"I'm wearing her most popular perfume, 'Embrace me' right now!"
Before the girls gained enough courage to approach the lone vampire, they were all distracted by the opening of the gates to the moon dormitory. As the night class stepped into full view, all hell broke loose. Girls screamed the names of the people they admired from the sidelines and pushed their weights onto poor little Yuuki, who eventually collapsed to the ground from such heavy pressure. Then Arisu got a view of him, the man's back who was assisting Yuuki on the ground. No one noticed how the blonde's expression hardened and her teeth and fists clenched. Control yourself, Arisu, she reprimanded. Don't ruin your chance; not after how far you've come. With that thought the girl returned to her other self and watched in surprise when Zero roughly shoved Kaname's hand off of Yuuki. She smiled gleefully inside at the hunter's immense hatred toward the significant pureblood.
"Class has started, Kuran," Zero spat venomously.
Kuran remained calm and walked away from Zero. "Your quite scary, Mr. Disciplinary Committee." Only Zero and Arisu did not fail to see the light taunt that Kaname revealed. So it seems that both Kaname Kuran and Zero Kiryuu have a soft spot for Yuuki Cross. How troublesome for them both...
Zero also turned and walked away, not before taking his stress and retained anger out on the day class girls. Arisu did not pay attention to Yuuki scolding Zero for his rudeness. She was busy being locked in a gaze with Kaname Kuran. Because of her strong concentration on him, she unconsciously slowed down time to study every little detail and expression on his face. Once she realized what her ability was doing, she immediately reverted the movement of motion back to normal and smiled and bowed respectfully at him while he returned with a small nod of acknowledgement. I have finally met you.
Once the grounds were clear of both day class and night class students, Arisu entered the moon dormitory with Yuuki. Zero had refused to enter the house filled with the stench of vampires so he remained outside waiting for the other guardian. A Level D vampire maid greeted Arisu upon her entrance and led the noble to her assigned room instead of the president and vice president (since they were both attending class). She thanked Yuuki and the maid kindly for their assistance and went into her new room. The room was very spacious and luxurious even for two vampires, but wasn't much of a surprise considering the important nobles that were residing in the dormitory. She noticed that all of her luggage had already arrived but on top of one of them was a small sheet of paper; a note. She sauntered over and flipped the note open and read:
Sorry I was unable to greet you into our room and help you unpack. Stupid boring classes.
Knowing your habit of styling feel free to decorate our room. I dont care, but I still dislike pink.
See you after class.
-Rima
Arisu chuckled at the letter and put it in her back pocket. She took her time unpacking and mused over her first meeting with Rima and Shiki. Before Arisu had come to Cross Academy she had originally visited Japan on a business trip, gaining more wealth and popularity for her company 'Reborn' and their item lines. Not only that, she was even more admired when she donated a high sum of money to Japan after the harsh earthquake and tsunami. Her recognition led to many contracts with Japanese companies, one of them being a company that Touya Rima and Shiki Senri worked for. Arisu first officially met them in person when she asked them to be her models in her upcoming photo-shoot and commercial for her new perfume, 'Embrace me'. They gladly accepted and the three had hit it off well; maybe because they were the only vampires and had relatively the same age, or because Arisu had amused them with her childish silliness. As Arisu recalled, Rima started to dislike pink because of the many shades of pink that she and the set were covered with. She nearly wanted to puke, much to Arisu's and Shiki's entertainment. However the shoot went really well with Rima posing in her rich chiffon dress like an amazing, alluring Goddess and Shiki sitting seductively at her feet and possessively embracing her legs in an all black suit. Thanks to the successful photo-shoot, 'Embrace me' became one of the most top popular perfumes in the market.
Right as Arisu finished putting the last of her jewelry away, she heard the vibration of her cellphone in her coat pocket. She stared at the 'unknown' number on her caller id for a moment, took a deep breath and picked up.
"Hello?"
"I assume you've fitted into your new home?" questioned a deep voice.
Annoyed by the fact he called, Arisu countered, "Didn't I ask you not to call me unless absolutely necessary? So who's dying?"
"...No one. I just called to see how you're doing and if you needed any provisions."
"Thanks but no thanks. Remember that I'm not under you. I work for myself... and you just happened to provide information to my convenience because you support what I am going to do. Let's not become any closer than strangers."
"I agree. But I wonder if you can really do it," the mysterious voice taunted.
"Watch me. The guilty will pay," the blonde gritted out before ending the call.
The man on the other end of the line calmly closed his phone, and gently set it on his desk and clasped his hands together.
"A piece has been moved to place," murmured Ichiou.
Arisu sat on her bed and watched the remainder of the bright large sun disappear, reminiscing on a part of her past.
"Mommy, why do vampires not like the sun?" a very small, innocent version of Arisu inquired, while watching her mother paint a beautiful picture of the sunset in a windowless room.
The child's mother stopped her concentration on the painting for a moment, looked down at her and said thoughtfully, "Maybe they are shy because the sun is too warm.. too friendly and inviting." She quickly finish the last touches on her painting, then scooped the child up into her slender arms.
"But you are my precious sun, Akemi, a bright beauty filled with delightful warmth and love." She kissed her brow, "So don't ever change, okay?"
The little girl grinned, "I promise momma!"
Arisu touched the window like she was touching the sun. "No mother," she whispered. "You are my sun. You were the one and only sun I had, that left me." I'm sorry that I couldn't keep my promise.
Little Arisu never saw what happened to the beautiful sunset painting after she left the room to go to bed. She never saw her mother silently cry as she painted over the picture in crimson red, the color of blood. She never knew her mother's future death would be during the scene of a sunset, as her mother's picture foretold.
Arisu hadn't realized she had fallen asleep until the feeling of another presence in the room awoke her.
"Sorry," Rima mumbled. "I didn't think you would wake so easily."
"Riiimaaa-chaan," Arisu squealed, sleepy grogginess immediately gone as she charged over and tackled her old strawberry-blonde haired friend into a hug and kissed both cheeks.
"Usually I sleep like a dead fat cow but anyway it's sooo great to see you! What are the chances that you and I are roommates? It must be fate my love!"
"Great to... see you too. I won't be your roommate... for very long if you... crush me to death," Rima said in between small breaths.
"AH! Sorry!" Arisu immediately dropped her like a hot potato. Since Rima and Shiki were usually the calm, stoic ones, Arisu couldn't help but be the opposite and play as the lively one. She was very different and open around them...'Special' as Rima and Shiki would label her.
"Um... So who are your friends?" the new blonde asked, gesturing to the few people in the doorway as Rima just stared.
"One of them is me," said a tired, apathetic voice as he entered the room.
"Yeah you can come in," Rima retorted sarcastically.
"Shiki-my-tiki!" Arisu sang as she skipped over and hugged and kissed both his cheeks. "How are you?"
"The same?" He wondered where she got tiki from.
"And why am I not surprised?"
Suddenly, the aura of a powerful being was felt and everyone nodded in respect as Kaname Kuran knocked and entered the room.
"Kuran-sama, it's such an honor to finally meet you properly," Arisu said formally and bowed.
Kaname offered her a polite smile. "Please be at ease, Kaiyori-san. After all, we are the ones honored to have you join our school."
Arisu could not help but scoff inside. "No, I am just happy to help promote the ideal of pacifism in today's segregated society." She bowed gracefully to the other students that were present, "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu."
Another man with even lighter blonde hair than Arisu stepped in from behind Kaname. His light green eyes shined and he joked, "Now Kaname, there's no need for such formality here." He grinned at Arisu, "It's a pleasure to meet you Kaiyori-san. I am Kaname's vice president, Ichijo Takuma. Feel free to address your concerns to me as well."
Arisu beamed at him. Hmm, Ichiou's grandson, she mused. They do look alike, but definitely not in personality. Ichijo Takuma: V.P. of the dorm and one of Kaname's closest allies, considering his free speech around him. "Um, just calling me as Arisu is fine thank you."
"Well then, we'll just leave you to rest since today must have been quite a trip. Please attend classes with us starting next week." Kaname requested. "Let us leave now, Ichijo."
"Thank you again." Arisu said as she nodded slightly.
Ichijo waved as he left with Kaname. "Nice meeting you, Arisu."
She waved back and closed the door when everyone left.
Rima huffed at Shiki. "Get out I need to take a shower."
"Need some help?" Shiki offered nonchalantly.
"No," she responded flatly while Arisu whistled in interest. "Get out."
Shiki quietly picked himself off the bed and left, with Rima slamming the door in his face.
Arisu rolled over on her bed to look at Rima properly. "I don't get why you guys still aren't dating. Do you not read the magazines about you guys?"
Rima ignored Arisu's first comment, "Nope. Do you want to shower first?"
"Nah, you good first. I have to finish organizing my stuff."
"Okay then," and with that Rima, went into the bathroom.
Arisu waited quietly a moment to listen to the bathroom door close and lock. When she did, she moved over and sat at her desk and opened the bottom drawer. She moved a few papers out of the way to take out a covered box, labeled as 'Cherishables'. After gently removing the lid of the box, Arisu took out the contents of the box. She stared for a moment at an old family photo of her mother, father, and her child self. She tightly closed her eyes to refuse the pain from taking over her emotions. Sometimes vampires can only be human, her mother once said. But it isn't a weak thing. Arisu just shook her head and put the picture face down back into the box. She brought another picture up to her face and narrowed her eyes on it. It was a class picture of the whole night class before she had transferred. She grabbed one of her many colorful permanent markers sitting on her desk and drew a circle around the following targets' heads:
Touya Rima
Shiki Senri
Kain Akatsuki
Aidou Hanabusa
Souen Ruka
Seiren
Takuma Ichijo
and most importantly,
Kuran Kaname
Thanks to some purposely-revealing information from Ichiou, Arisu was able to find Kaname's confidantes of the academy. Suddenly, the blonde muttered a small, "crap", realizing that she had drawn so many continuous circles around the pureblood's head that the marker had bled through the paper and a little onto the desk. She tilted her head back for a moment and sighed. Then she went back to the picture and wrote in a thin black marker, on the empty corner of the picture:
Yuuki Cross, Zero Kiryuu - prefects
She took one last look at the picture, memorizing the victims she needed to befriend and get close to... especially the cheerful blond Ichijo Takuma, the most valuable asset.
The sound of running water stopped.
A moment later, Rima stepped out of the shower in cute pajamas and a fluffy pink towel wrapped around her head. She noticed Arisu focused on something at her desk. "You designing?"
Arisu turned around in her seat and grinned while waving her sketch book around. "Gotta make cute clothes for my beloved favorite model to wear," she winked.
Rima rolled her eyes but smiled inside. "As long as its not filled pinks, hearts, and disgusting Barbie gush."
The other blonde laughed, "Don't worry love. I know what ya like. Anywhoo, I'm gonna shower okay?"
Rima nodded and took the towel out of her hair. "I'm gonna go down to Shiki's room and snatch some pocky."
"Ooh get me some dark chocolate flavor too! Oh and lock the door so no one barges in on me naked."
"Mhm. Kay," and once again, Rima left the room.
Arisu entered the large bathroom with her change of clothes and prepared the water. Once she took off her clothes she looked into the mirror and stared into her grey eyes. Then she touched her eyes and removed the lenses, revealing her true eye color- a shocking, yet warm set of hazelnut eyes, almost an exact replica of her mother's. However, these orbs did not hold the tender love and warmth they once had; as similar as they looked, Arisu's eyes were not her mothers, for unlike her mother, Arisu's eyes have lost their radiant beauty. After putting away her contacts she stepped into the shower, letting the hot water relax her muscles and wash her stress away. She touch the ends of her blonde hair in sadness, hating every moment of having this fake color. She remembered once when she was little, she wanted to get a short, cute hairstyle like all the other girls. When her mother said no, the girl had tried to cut it herself. Thankfully, her mother had walked in right when the child had only cut a tiny piece off. She took the scissors away and begged the child...
"Please, Akemi... Don't ever cut your beautiful hair." The young mother kissed the ends of her small child's chocolate locks. "These locks are a treasure that accompany you throughout your life. They will encounter what you encounter...they will hold the memories of the good and the bad... they will have the story of your life..."
The blonde sighed. Not anymore. These fake blonde locks now tell a story of someone else's life... the life of Arisu Kaiyori. Akemi Inoue no longer exists... her life is gone.
If her mother was here, Arisu had the feeling that she probably would've said, "Just because your locks have been painted doesn't mean you have masked their memories."
After rinsing off the last of the remaining soap, Arisu exited the shower and quickly dried herself and stepped into her fresh, comfortable clothes. She reinserted the grey contacts into her eyes and started blow drying her hair until it became dry and curly again. She went back into the bedroom and noticed that Rima hadn't returned yet. Not really in the mood to design or sleep (since she took a nap earlier), Arisu walked outside into the hall and began wandering around, since she didn't know where Shiki's room was. She found the kitchen and grabbed a piece of bread and an apple and nibbled on them as she looked for the grand staircase to the lounge. She heard two male voices from downstairs.
"Ten days suspension, huh?"
"Yeah. But Yuuki's blood was totally worth it."
Yuuki.. Cross Yuuki? Arisu inquired as she moved closer down the stairs to see the two men's faces. Kain Akatsuki and Aidou Hanabusa, cousins. Uh oh, the Kaname approaches... dun dun dun.
However Aidou didn't seem to notice as he continued with a sigh. "Hmm.. I wonder if blood tablets aren't enough for me. I couldn't resist her blood and jus-"
SLAP
"Just?" Kaname hissed, shooting a death glare.
Aidou looked down shamefully, blood protruding down his cheek from where Kaname had slapped him. "I'm sorry," he whispered. Kaname said nothing and walked away.
"Nice one, Mr. Genius," Kain said sarcastically.
Aidou growled. "Shut up Shut up SHUT UP!"
Arisu chuckled and muttered, "Stupid" as she walked the few steps back up the stairs, while Aidou snapped his head to see who dared to laugh and insult him.
Hanabusa that idiot, she thought. He still hasn't changed.
When Arisu lifted her head back up, her view was covered by a white, sweater-covered chest. "Hmm... rich cashmere," she observed. "Eh?" she and another voice said. Arisu looked up at the same time a surprised Ichijo looked down, raising his manga above his head.
"Arisu!"
"Ichijo!" They exclaimed at the same time. They looked at each other for a moment and laughed.
"You surprised me!" They said in unison again, strangely.
"I thought I was going blind," Arisu said, feigning shock.
"And I thought my manga was talking to me!" Ichijo dramatized, putting a hand over his heart.
"Well I don't think you're at the part when Sebastian tells you your sweater is cashmere," she joked.
Takuma gaped, "You know Black Butler?"
Arisu shrugged. "I read some of it. My sister in America is obsessed with manga. So I eventually got hooked onto manga too. I have yet to finish Ouran Host Club though."
Takuma gasped. "Well let's go to my room and finish some mangas! Oh yeah, Rima's still there too, in case if you're looking for her."
The petite blonde hooked arms with the tall blonde. "Let us go," and they marched to Ichijo and Shiki's room.
"Oh wait, I was gonna get some water," Ichijo remembered. So the two dumb blondes took a U-turn, went back to the kitchen, got Ichijo's water (and some cereal, since the cabinet didn't have anything else), and strutted back to Ichijo's room.
"Holy shit, Ichijo..." Arisu murmured as they entered the room.
"Yes?" Ichijo eagerly expected.
"Your side of the room's a mess!" She said, horrified.
"... I thought you were going to comment on my manga selection."
"Don't worry. That was going to be my second response. Wait..." Arisu prodded a blob on the ground with a random clothing hanger. "Is that old tuna or cat vomit?"
Ichijo huffed. "Neither. Its fake barf... courteously given to me by Aidou."
"I thought it was the tuna," Shiki said from his side of the room on his bed.
"No, I really thought it was cat puke," Rima commented from the other end of Shiki's bed.
Arisu fake gagged. "God, who can look at that?"
Shiki sighed. "Its probably been there for weeks and I still can't look at it."
"Hey!" Ichijo whined.
"Ichijo, we have many hours of this night left," Arisu said seductively. Ichijo gulped while Shiki and Rima stared apprehensively.
Arisu suddenly whipped out a broom from nowhere. "NOW LET'S GET CLEANING!"
"Noooooo," Ichijo yelled, falling down in doom.
"Ichijo," Shiki started, "Do you want beat Aidou in the dirtiest room of the year?"
Ichijo could not respond at first. "But the maid could clean it?" he finally said.
Arisu smacked him upside the head with his Naruto plushie doll. "Didn't your momma teach you any about discipline? Or diligence or whatever?"
Ichijo sighed in resignation. "I will... clean my room," he said like he was unwillingly committing a crime.
"Good Ichijo!" she praised. "Well, first of all... get rid of that barf. Give it back to Aidou or throw it away or whatever."
Ichijo stared at the thing for a moment, and gave an unsure 'Okay' as he scooped up the fake barf in his hands, earning completely disgusted looks from the other three vampires. He sulked out of the room with the blob.
Arisu turned back to the mess. "Shiki, Rima. Can you help me with his clothes and manga?"
"Eh?" Rima looked at her. "Why?"
"But my side of the room is clean," Shiki said passively.
"I'll buy you 5 boxes of pocky when I go to town tomorrow and star you as my models in my new 'Like me' perfume ad," Arisu bribed.
"10"
"20" she countered.
"Deal." They quickly ended.
By that time, Ichijo had returned to his room, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"What did you do?" Shiki asked.
Ichijo smiled angelically. "I left Aidou a present next to his toilet."
Rima looked unconcerned. "Poor Kain."
"Wait for the best part!" Ichijo counted down from 5 and Arisu joined him.
"1!"
...
...
...
"Oh for the love of-"
"WHAT THE-" was heard quite well down the hall from Aidou's room.
The two blondes laughed while the other two emotionless people actually cracked a smile.
"Ichiiijooo..." they faintly heard Aidou curse.
The four vampires finally finished cleaning Ichijo's side of the room and were about doing their own thing: Arisu and Ichijo watching the new Ouran High School Host Club drama and either criticizing it or applauding it and Shiki and Rima flipping through random magazines and occasionally glancing at the show. Their dinner: blood and pocky...with a hint of cereal. It was a good combo...not mixed together of course. Time flew by quickly and before they knew it, the new moon disappeared and it was dawn. So the girls bidded a good night and retired to their rooms, not before Arisu snuck some pocky up her shirt. While on their way back they awkwardly met with Kaname.
He smiled at them politely. "Good night Rima, Arisu."
The females bowed and quietly uttered a 'Good night' as well. Time slowed down again as Arisu and Kaname passed each other. The blonde cursed in her head. Ugh, my power slows things down at the worst timing. Always when I wanna get away from something as quick as possible. Jerk. She forced time to go back to normal again and continued walk with Rima, trying to erase the feeling of Kaname staring at her back.
After preparing to go to bed, the light blondes slipped under their own covers and said good night. Once Arisu was sure Rima had fallen asleep, she noiselessly opened the small drawer next to her bed and took out a contacts case and slipped her fake lens into the container. Then she rolled back over and closed her eyes, retelling herself of her purpose as she waited for sleep to overcome her.
The guilty will pay Kaname Kuran. You will pay for taking my mother.. my life away from me. All you have left me with, is Revenge.
A/N:
About the character- Arisu (Alice) Kaiyori, also known as Akemi (bright beauty) Inoue, is a 17-year-old transfer student from America. She has waist length curly blonde (that was dyed) hair and (fake) grey eyes. She is a "pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps" kind of girl, because of the harsh life she had endured. At the age of 16, Arisu was able to create her own company, "Reborn" (which she named when she completely changed her identity) and had become a famous, young CEO. Her company was well known for her clothing line 'LoveAlice', skin treating cosmetics 'Smiling Skin', photography gallery 'Wonderland', and a few perfumes (like 'Embrace me' and her upcoming 'Like me').
Like Shiki, she is a half-pureblood, half-noble, but no one really notices that so she is labeled as a noble. However, unlike Shiki, Arisu's mother was the pureblood, so Arisu has more of a direct link to power than Shiki does. For now, few of her abilities are unknown. However, we know that she has the ability to slow down time (in her view only, no one else notices...so the power kinda gives her an advantage), but her ability is not as developed as her mother's, who was able to stop, slow, and speed up time.
Part of Arisu's true personality is her cautious, observant behavior. Due to "act" in school and in different scenarios, Arisu will have many different personalities, rather than just one.
In a way, her character is similar to Ichijo because they both have a nonvampire-like, upbeat attitude, which makes it hard to tell what they're really thinking or feeling. Though they share a bit of immaturity (as well as Aidou), they still understand the mature, complicated situations when taken place. Takuma and Arisu, like Shiki and Rima, will probably be able to understand and see through each other's acts better than anyone else, because they are not so different from each other.

Reviews would be nice too. I'm always interested to hear what you guys think. Thanks!
