Chapter 2. Minefield.
-Hey,Akito, I do not think we should be here , also tires me to walk at this hour awake, -said one of the night class students while secretly his partner were walking in the school courtyard knowing that challenged one of the more stringent rules Discipline.
-Okay, not as if we were to bite someone, and breakfast them -what reassured his accomplice, making a joke that would also be considered taboo. - See ? there are some human girls to which we can ask about the place we are looking . -
Both are directed to where a group of students of the class day that saw them barely blushed from head to toe.
-Good morning ladies, 'said Akito, showing his supernatural charm- I would like to ask you a question ...
-If we could ... .. ah! - Suddenly the face of the girls passing a blush pink to pale blue.
When the two young vampires are turned to see what was what frightened them, they too pale to see the man of gray hair and violet eyes that glared at them with a killer aura. They recognized him immediately.
-Is ... is the president of the association, 'said one of the vampires without really knowing what to do. It was best known the low tolerance that this man had for their kind, in spite of itself be a vampire. This also knew everyone.
-Hey! Zero! stop intimidate the students! - Suddenly says the director cross appearing in the bushes wearing a pink apron embroidered with strawberries and gardening gloves, in addition to carrying hair in a ponytail.
- And you two , what are doing at this time on campus ? please come back to your dormitories. - although an order was accurate, she said with a friendly smile on her face that caused the young vampires blush a little. Both students apologized and leave.
- See? I told you at this time we could see the director working in the garden with an apron ... she is pretty cute, right?
- Shh .! they can still hear you ... !- said as they drove away in a hurry
-Seriously ... these guys ... the aforementioned said with a chuckle of complicity, when she suddenly noticed the disapproving gaze of the visitor.
-Ah ... well ladies, I hope you can continue with your classes.
- yes! Cross-head. The girls recovered the pink and left, looking askance at the handsome young man with gray hair
Now only yuuki and zero were alone in the garden.
it was almost feel like the air density changed ...
-That apron ... - zero said watching closely yuuki colorful attire.
-Ah! You noticed, was the director, had actually saved a lot but this is the cutest, is not it? - Said while giving a little walk to finish posing with hands on hips and a big smile. But the expression of zero ... was like a cold wind.
-Ok, ok ... seriously. ..Come to my office. No need to look at me like that, and I know exactly what you mean, 'said yuuki surrendering her intention to eliminate tension in the air.
-You ... not just the apron, you have the same mentality irresponsible that this man on this school and its students.
Yuuki came loose ponytail dropping her long brown hair, covering her neck. Not even thought to respond to that comment. It was a discussion that took years and never knew they would agree. It was no time to open such injuries.
- See? I knew you were going to say exactly that. - Yuuki said smiling sweetly as she looked. With zero could only do that after all?
In ten years, she had seen zero tenfold. At the end of each year she was due in the association to give the list of new evening class students and request approval. That was one of the many others.
At these meetings, yuuki spoke to zero from the farthest place in which they had never been.
That seemed fine.
Yuuki soon realized that she had never been able to continue sane if she remained close to zero. Not while the space between the two was a minefield in which any action or comment activate a painful memory for both. Not while she thought of returning to see kaname awake. Not while zero look at her that way.
she could not stand being seen as guilty of what she was.
They came to the office and zero felt strange to see it was exactly as he remembered, only the scruffy man who so much annoyed him but whom he respected very much was not behind the desk but that was now his daughter, the person looking at him with those bright brown eyes caramel.
He hated her. But he wanted to see her every day.
Every damn day.
While his descent to the level e remained in perfect control because of the new blood pills of the corporation Aidou, he knew well that a single drop of blood of that woman would satisfy him completely. He hated her for that.
For her , he had decided to become president of the association. For her, he had shaken all his prejudices against vampires. That little woman that never was or would be small in his life.
- You look healthy zero, I'm glad. - Yuuki said as she propped her chin on her arms leaning on the desk. - The pills are really much better and more and more complete. I've talked to about it and Aidou san ...
- If you spoke with him, then you know, is not it? - Said stopping abruptly. Zero always remained on alert before yuuki . It is as if he needed to be sure of self-control.
- I know. Of course, Aidou-san told me. - Yuuki said diverting his gaze to the window, not sure how to react to the news. And less in front of it zero. All she did when she found out was wandering among all occupations for not going crazy. Because it did not matter that she should die for go right to see kaname, she had to wait quietly to be visited by a representative of hunters to escort her to the association.
"Yuuki Cross may not leave the Academy without the company of an escort." It was another condition of the new arrangement.
-I must say you were the last person in the world I expected this time. -Said while outlining a sad smile. She wondered if he himself had decided to go with her to see kaname. He had always been a bit masochistic, come to think.
– Then, shall we go?
