For anyone's who has already read this chapter, it is the same as the previous with just some grammatical edits, nothing big has changed, so you don't have to read this again.
There was a knock on the door.
"Ngh. Go away." Nakamura muttered.
The knock repeated itself.
"I said to go away!" Nakamura yelled this time.
"I don't think it will." Kali muttered in her pillow, "just answer it."
"Ugh!" Nakamura stomped over to the door and tore it open, "whaddya want?"
"So you really were up all day, weren't you?" Senri asked.
"Kali, I think it was for you."
"Yeah, yeah I figured that out. Afternoon niisan." Kali waved, yawning. Senri was like an older brother to Kali, he would often visit the Akaishi manor.
"Evening. May I come in?"
"Fine by me, Nakamura?"
"Sure."
"So, what brings you here?" Kali got out of her sheets, revealing her pajama pants and shirt. Nakamura on the other hand, flopped onto her bed in her pajama shorts and tank top.
"I've heard things going around that the two of you caused some trouble today." Senri walked over to her bed and sat on the edge.
"Us two?! You mean that baka over there." Kali pointed to Nakamura. Who just gave a backwards wave in reply.
"You okay? Hanabusa was pretty worried, he said you looked like you were about to cry."
"Of course he did, did he give you a play-by-play scene as well?"
"Uh, no."
"Well, I'm fine. You know how I get when I'm under pressure, things just get out of hand."
"Yeah, good thing you don't do that very often."
"Well, enough about me, how have things been going with Rima?"
"Normal. I better go now. Oh, and do you want Pocky?" Senri asked, getting up to leave.
"YES!" Kali squealed.
"Here." He tossed her a pack of chocolate Pocky.
"Thanks!"
"No problem." He answered, going out the door and closing it behind him.
"I want one!" Nakamura demanded from across the room.
"Here." Kali tossed a stick across the room to Nakamura, which broke on impact.
"Aww."
Later in the commons…
All of the night class students had changed into their uniforms and were just waiting for the day class to end.
"So, did you two really get in trouble by Kaname earlier today?" Asked Rima.
"It was mostly her." Kali pointed to Nakamura with a stick of Pocky, "want one?" She held up the box.
"No, I'm good. What'd you do?"
"Do tell us what you did Nakamura." Kali teased.
"Went berserk and used my power." Nakamura shrugged.
"In front of any day class students?"
"No."
"It's time." Takuma said, clapping his hands.
As one the entire night class got up from whichever position they were lounging about in and headed out the doors.
"Geez, you can hear the day class from out here." Kali said to Nakamura.
"I know."
"Kali! Will you walk with me?" Hanabusa came up to Kali.
"Well, if you guarantee I won't be mobbed by a bunch of angry day class girls." Kali teased.
"Of course! They would never lay their hands on my Kali."
"You okay with that Nakamura?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Nakamura gave a wave.
"Oh! You could walk next to Akatsuki!"
"Hanabusa." Akatsuki deadpanned.
"Or not. I was just suggesting it." Hanabusa sheepishly took back.
"Would you like to walk with me?" Akatsuki asked Nakamura.
"Sure." She replied.
"Great!" Hanabusa cheered.
"Calm down, we're nearing the gates." Kali nudged Hanabusa.
"I can tell just by hearing their 'Kya's'."
"Quite the rambunctious group, aren't they."
"Yes, very."
The doors opened, revealing the squealing day class.
"Hi!" Hanabusa waved happily.
"Hanabusa..." Kali whimpered.
"Oh, Kali. Don't worry." Hanabusa said wrapping an arm around her, "I'm not going to replace you any time soon. Especially with one of these squealing girls."
"Don't worry, I'm not worried about that. It's mostly the death glares I'm getting from the all the day class students."
"Poor Yuuki, it's a shame she has to deal with this."
"I feel bad for her, she's partnered with Zero and barely gets any sleep."
"Yeah, but I see that Kaname-sama has taken a liking to Yuuki, maybe he'll help her by canceling some night class sessions."
"You wish." Kali teased, "being the lazy person you are."
"You're surrounded by lazy people, get used to it."
Nakamura watched Kali talking and smiling with Hanabusa. That was something she had desperately yearned for. Both girls were relatively young, Hanabusa was also quite young. Nakamura thought of how cute the two vampires looked together.
"You've been quiet for awhile." Akatsuki mentioned somewhat emotionlessly.
"Huh? Oh, I was kind of just lost in thought."
"Thinking about…"
"How young a lot of us are."
"Yeah, and I thought Rima was young."
"She is!" Protested Nakamura.
"Not as young as you and Kali."
"Well, of course."
"You like Kaname, don't you."
Nakamura coughed, "what?"
"You like Kaname."
"Well maybe...just a little."
Akatsuki gave her the 'seriously?' look. Which looked interesting on his normally straight face. Nakamura looked away from Akatsuki, not wanting to answer. "That's what I thought." Akatsuki muttered, shoving his hands into his pockets. The vampires waited in a sheltered courtyard for their sensei to arrive.
"Okay students." Their teacher, Toyoshima-senpai walked into the courtyard, he was also a vampire, but a good one. Headmaster Cross had billions of screenings for him before he could become a teacher at Cross Academy. "It has come to Headmaster Cross' attention that some vampires in Level D can't consume the tablets that you've created."
"Figures. Level D vampires were never up to our level." Ruka muttered, which was uncharacteristic of her. She must be in a bad mood.
"Miss Souen, I appreciate you paying attention but please keep your ideas to yourself." Toyoshima-senpai answered briskly to her comment. "As I was saying, because there are some vampires who cannot consume the blood tablets you've created, Headmaster Cross would like you delightful students to create another tablet, one which hopefully will be able to be consumed by Level D vampires."
"And if we aren't able to?" Questioned Rima from her perch on a bench.
"Other than the vampire world and Headmaster Cross being disappointed in you students. There would be no repercussions."
"Who would be testing the tablets we create?" Takuma asked.
"Headmaster Cross has a certain person in mind. He didn't tell me who though."
"Alright, then I suppose we'll do what we did the last time we did the tablets. Is my presumption correct?" Kaname asked.
"That is what is in mind." Toyoshima-sensei answered.
"Alright."
After class…
"Ishikawa." Kaname laid on a chair.
"Uh, yes Kaname-sama."
"Hold this." Kaname held a rock out, a large one.
"May I ask, why?" Nakamura asked uncertainly as she held the rock.
"Put it on your head."
"What?"
Kali giggled while watching the scene play out.
"I told you to put it on your head." Kaname answered simply.
"Okay…" Nakamura gently placed the rock on her head.
"Good, now don't take it off."
"Until when?" Kali asked from her seat next to Hanabusa.
"Until noon. As I recall, you seemed to be able to stay awake until then." Kaname answered, while directing the second part to Nakamura.
Kali snickered at Nakamura, while Nakamura responded with a glare to Kali. "Of course Kaname-sama." Nakamura gingerly made her way over to where Kali and Hanabusa were sitting. "So much for attention."
"Well, he did give you his attention." Kali responded. "Just, not the attention you were hoping for."
"And not a good type of attention, my neck is already sore."
"Good thing it's almost dawn."
"Good? That means there are still six hours of this."
"Six hours is better than an entire night and until noon."
"Leave it to you to try to find the silver lining."
"It's what you need me for."
Nakamura growled but stopped answering Kali's retorts. Knowing that she's lost. "Oh, I lost the game."
"Darn it! You made me lose the game!" Kali yelled back. The game was a simple and strange game, with only three rules. One, is that you are now playing the game. Two, you are not supposed to think about the game. Three, if you think about the game, you have to say out loud that you lost the game. Kali yawned, "I'm going up to bed. Don't forget to keep that rock on your head!" Kali teased to Nakamura, heading up the stairs to her dorm room.
"Kind of hard to forget." Nakamura muttered after Kali.
Special thanks to CrimsonRabbit00 for being an amazingly kind person, and Reamonshei, for beta-ing this for me. Also, Toyoshima is not an actual character, I just created him for the few scenes when they're in class. Oh, I also didn't come up with the game, that's a Demyx Time reference.
