Title : This War

Author : Identify


Chapter Two :

The manola folder that was now laying on the ground, contained evidence that only certain people knew of. Gené was ... dead. Her pale skin even paler, almost white. It looked see-through, like paper. Bite marks were evident all over her body, breasts, stomach, back, legs, arms, neck ... even her butt. What kind of sick masochist-y was this? Killing a girl by draining her of her blood and leaving fake bite marks ... unless ... they were real ... No. I would not allow myself these thoughts ... they were just too horrifying.

I was still cradled on the floor in Headmaster's office, Zero Kiryuu's arms wrapped around my shoulders, as if trying to hold me together as I fell to pieces; which was surprising, for Zero's usual behavior. But if I had my choice, I liked this more, sensitive Zero better than the one that acted as if he hated the world. His expression was always so bitter, filled with hatred ... but as I looked up at him through my teary eyes I recognized sympathy and something like regret on his face; it made my heart stutter a beat.

"Komii, I'm moving Yuuki in with you so that she will be your new roommate." Headmaster stated, as Zero helped me stand up.

I felt rather wobbly, so I held onto his sturdy arm. I nodded, glancing at Yuuki who was eyeing my grip on Zero. "Okay, I guess if you want to, Yuuki?"

"Huh? Oh," She looked back up to meet my gaze. "Yeah, of course I won't mind being your roommate." She smiled cheerfully.

I wiped at my eyes with the back of my free hand. One of my knees gave way, making Zero have to catch me by wrapping one of his arms around my waist. As I glanced at Yuuki from the corner of my eye, I noticed her face flush and expression twist into a mix of jealousy, and melancholy. I bit my lip. It seems she likes Zero alot. I should back off ... even though I don't really like him.

"Thanks, Zero." I said, my voice a little hoarse. I pulled away from him and managed to regain some balance.

"No problem,'' He eyed me carefully, probably ready to catch me if I fell.

I grabbed my book bag and lifted it over my shoulder. "Thanks, Headmaster. I need to go get some business done before returning to class."

"Okay, Komii, be careful." He nodded at me once before I pushed my way out of his office and back onto the campus.

Gené had been on a date with Aidou. He had to be the reason for her death. I headed towards the Night Dorms. I had to confront him. I wouldn't let this go as if it was a simple cut or bruise on her skin; no, she had been drained of blood and brutally murdered. By the time I reached the front gates, my cheeks were red with nerves and my eyes had dried. The gate keeper eyed me suspiciously.

"I need to get inside." I said.

"I can't let you do that, no guests allowed during the day." He said, his voice gruff.

"You don't understand, my friend was murdered and this was the last place she was last night." I showed him Headmaster's note.

He huffed, looking between me and the note before handing it back. "Fine, but you better make this quick." He let me through heisitantly.

I sighed of relief. Okay, almost there ... I knocked on the door hardly, my knuckles screaming in protest.

The door opened slowly, two wine colored eyes gazing down at me curiously. My face flushed. "K-Kaname-sama ... I need to speak with Aidou-sempi."

"Komii? Sure," He stood aside to let me through.

I walked right in, noticing Ruka, a member of the Night Class, glaring at me evilly. My heart fluttered fast, protesting my nerves. Oh jeez, I had to calm it down if I wanted to keep living. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes when I heard the door click behind me.

Kaname set his hand on my shoulder. "May I ask what brings you here in the middle of the day?"

I gulped, turning my head to the side so I could look at him. "Like I said, I need to speak with Aidou-sempi ... It involves Gené ... "

"Oh? She was here last night." He said, his expression his usual, contemplating one.

"Yeah ... " I sighed, my gaze falling to my feet.

"What's all this commotion?" Someone yawned from the base of the stairs. "Komii?" They said my name, making me look at them.

It was Aidou. I rushed over to him and stared his straight in my eye, despite the way my hairs stood on end. "What happened to Gené?" I almost growled, if a human could actually make such a noise.

"Gené?" He questioned, like he was clueless.

I shoved my fingers around the base of his throat, digging my nails into his skin. "You know who I'm talking about." I heard some gasps from behind me but ignored it.

He smirked. "What if I do? What if I don't?"

I gripped tighter. "You know what happened. What did you do?" I think my face was turning red.

"I did nothing," He sighed, still smirking.

"Liar." I spit with all the acid I could manage. It took all my strength to hold back the tears.

"What is this about?" I heard Kaname's voice ask from behind my back.

"He killed her." I said through clenched teeth.

"Aidou?" Kaname said his name questioningly.

"Kaname I did no such thing!" He covered quickly, his eyes turning to pure terror.

I let go of his neck and reached inside my book bag, pulling out the manola folder. "Here," I said, walking to Kaname, shoving it against his chest, and exiting the building.

Aidou was guilty. And I have to do all that's in my power to prove it. I had to make sure Gené got her justice, wherever she may be. I watched the rolling clouds as I made my way to my first class, going through all the evidence that was dancing through my head like some sick twisted soap opera that you would watch on t.v.

Through all my classes I couldn't focus. I would write my name on my papers but never fill in any answers, or write anything. Each teacher would grumble about telling Headmaster, but I could honestly care less. All I was worried about was whether I could prove that Aidou killed my friend or not.

I remembered the way his eyes shook with fear at the sound of Kaname questioning him ... so that was his weak spot. I had to get Kaname on my side so I could get some justice.

The end of the day came so quickly, I found myself perched on top of a gate that lead outside of campus, staring into nothingness. This spot was where me and Gené had spent so many day together, making memories. And now it was all just a ghost in the wind ... haunting me every time a chilling breeze flew by.

All of these clues ... these facts ... the evidence. The pictures ... the bite marks on her ... the way she was drained of blood ... My mind racked and racked everything together and could only fathom one word out of the whole bunch ... vampire.


So there's chapter two. Hope you liked it. Please review, or no chapter three ! :O
