Chapter 2:
The academy looked even more intriguing once I entered it. I have to admit, It's nice considering it's founder. I came to a stop once in front of Kaien's office. I walked in, turning the light on, and breathed in deeply. He still has that obsession with scented oils.
It was surprising to see such simple furnishings, one of which wasn't Kaienat all. There were only two chairs that sit in front of the desk and a couch along the wall beside the door. A book shelf, of what seems to be a combination of dictionaries, tea recipes, homemade remedies and other such books that lay messily left of the desk. Off to the right, was a door the seemed to be a bathroom.
I made my way to the desk, looking at various pictures of Kaien and his kids. I stumbled across a file that was labeled Yuuki crossand stiffened slightly. I'm not the type to feel uncomfortable easily but, If Kaien knew I looked through his precious daughters file...
I shivered at the thought and erased it from my mind. I froze, as I looked up from the file to see the girl that was with Kaname.
"No one has the authorisation to be in here while the chairman's away." she said calmly.
"I seen the door open and thought someone was in here, so I thought I would come and check it out." I lied.
"Well whoever it was, seems to be gone. So, please go to the guestroom. It's getting rather late," she laughing slightly. "My apologies. I mean, It's still rather early and you can rest if you like."
I smiled. "I think will do just that."
I walked out to the guestroom and shut the door. Hearing her footsteps fade, I lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. With her around, there not much I can do.
The bell rang and everyone piled from the class room. I looked down at my watch and sighed. "It's 3:00 already? Where did morning go?"
"Like every morning. You slept it away." Zero said standing up and walking out of class.
I looked over at Yori, who stood putting her stuff in her bag. "You know Yuuki. If you just took some time off from your prefect duties and actually rested once in a while, You wouldn't be falling behind in your studies."
She put her bag on her shoulder and followed behind Zero. I sat there as the last few people left the room. I'm not that behind in my studies. I mean it's not like I can go up to the chairmen and ask for few days catch up with everyone else. He would tell me, "It's impossible because, if I gave you a few days to catch up in your studies then I would have to give everyone else that was behind in there studies a few days too."
I shoved my things into my bag, stood, and walked out of the class. But, Yori is right. Maybe I need to just take a break once in a while to rest and catch up in my studies. I feel so drained and exhausted, I'm surprised I haven't fainted. Since we have two weeks from lessons, I should take that time to sleep some more in the mornings.
I stopped suddenly, the feeling of forgeting something washing over me like a wave. "Wasn't there something I had to do tonight?"
Too deep into thought to even realize what happened, I was knocked off my feet, hitting my head against the floor. I sat up rubbing my head. I looked around to see what hit me but, I found nothing. No object, person, nothing. I stood up and looked down the hall both ways. Nothing. The smell of blood started to fill the air. I turned around and looked down at the floor. There were little spots of blood where my head hit and I looked at my hand. Sure enough, there was blood covering my hand from rubbing my head. I started walking where ever my feet led me, staring dazing at my blood covered hand. I don't remember hitting my head that hard. But, it certainly could have been possible.
My head started to ache and I felt light headed. I felt my legs fall under me and my head hit the floor a second time. Am I even hurt that badly or am I just exaggerating? My vision became black as I quickly drifted into unconsciousness.
I opened my eyes and sat up. The smell of blood filled my nose. My eyes turned red and my fangs grew on instinct. It was Yuuki's blood. I closed my my eyes and stretched my hearing, listening for anything unusual around Yuuki. I couldn't hear anything, much less sense anything around her.
Aido came bursting threw my bedroom doors, eyes as red as mine. "Kaname-sama!" he panted. "Yuuki. She's. Her blood is-"
I nodded my head. "I already know, Aido."
I stood up from my lounger and swifty ran out of my room, not even bothering to grab a jacket.
I stood waiting for Yuuki, down the hall from the classroom. She annoys me at times with her sleeping during class but, ever since we came to this god forsaken school, we have never walked back to the Day class dorms without each other. I promised the chairmen, after hearing what happened to her when she was little, that I would never leave her by herself. Even when she thinks I'm off somewhere slacking on night patrol, I always keep a close eye on her. That's part of the reason I took the chairman's offer on being a prefect alongside Yuuki. The chairmen told me that she would feel safer knowing someone will be with her when she is patrolling and such.
I sighed and walked back toward the classroom. What was she doing? Seeing if the teacher would cut her some slack because she's a prefect? I stopped a few feet away from what seemed to be someone laying on the floor. I took a step closer and froze. My eye reddened instantly and i gripped my neck.
It's Yuuki...
She lay there motionless, her blood weighing heavily in the air. I backed into the wall and slid to the floor. My lungs felt as if they slowly started to reject the air I was trying to breathe in. It was taking every fiber of my being not to fall to the temptation of the blood slowly pouring from Yuuki's wounds.
I herd footsteps coming from the direction opposite of which i came. It took a few seconds before I realized Kurans scent. His eyes swept over Yuuki and I her him swallow hard.
"Yuuki!" He nearly shouted. "Dear god, what happened."
I was still fighting to keep air in my lungs, so all that i could get out was a frustrated groan. He looked over at me and held my gaze for a second. My eyes filled with worry and panic. He nodded, understanding what i was asking.
"Don't worry, Zero. She will be fine." He reassured me.
I looked at him, hoping he was right. I looked on the other side of me, staring into Aido's blue eyes. I gave him an confused look. He wrapped one of my arms around his neck and pulled me to my feet. "Kaname-sama asked me to come and take you back to the Day class dorms before I cleaned this up."
I didn't want to go back to the Day class dorms. I wanted to go with Yuuki and make sure she would be ok. Why won't my damn lungs cooperate with me!. I tried to pull away from Aido and his grip tightened.
"She will be fine." Kuran repeated. "It won't do you any good if you were laying here unconscious and bleeding as well, now will it?"
I glared at him. I hated when he did that. Every time Yuuki was in danger and i wanted to go with her to make sure she would be ok, he always said things that clearly meant he would do whatever it would take for me to stay behind and wait for news. I sighed, admitting defeat. He carefully picked Yuuki up in his arms and walked back down the hall. Aido nudged me in the direction to the Day class dorms and gave my side a comforting squeeze.
"She will be alright, Zero. You can trust Kaname-sama wouldn't lie." He smiled.
He always comforted people in weird ways but, when it came down to it, he really did make people feel better.
When we got to my room, Aido left me on my bed, went and cleaned up Yuuki's blood and came back. He said that he just wanted to keep me company until Kuran was back at the Night class dorms but, somehow, I think he was told to keep watch on me until i have calmed down. I started to gain control over my lungs again but, the tattoo on my neck still hurt, my eyes were still red and my fangs haven't retracted yet. I caught Aido's gaze and Looked away shyly.
"Would you stop that?" I sighed.
"Stop what? All I'm doing is sitting here." Aido held back a laugh.
"Stop staring at me."
"I didn't think looking at someone was a crime..." He smirked.
"Just stop staring at me like I'm going to explode from blood lust." I felt my cheeks redden.
I am a person that likes to keep myself and not carry a conversation with anyone and it makes me feel embarrassed to have a person like Aido, who is so enthusiastic and cheerful all the time, talking to me. To be honest, I'm actually enjoying him being here. Would having a disgusting being as a friend, be that bad? Wait what am I thinking?I was pulled from my thoughts at the sound of Aido laughing.
"What the hell are you laughing at!" I sat up irritatingly.
"You!" He said, continuing to laugh.
"Tell me why are laughing already!"
He took a few breaths before he spoke. "Okay..." he wiped his eyes. "Do you really see all of us in the night class, as Disgusting beings?"
I just stared at him, stunned. "How did you...?"
"When vampires think as loudly as you do, it tends to be easily herd without it being pacifically directed at someone."
Is that even possible?I looked at Aido, and he shrugged. He stood suddenly nodding.
"Where are you going?" I stood as well.
"Kaname-sama needs me. He said that Yuuki's wound is healed but, she doesn't seem to be waking up. So, I'm going to see what i can do."
Before i had the chance to say anything, he was gone.
We stood in front of a huge house, with candles in the windows. I looked at the boy named Kaname. He looked at me and smiled. "Don't worry. The person living here will take real good care of you." He squeezed my hand comfortingly.
He hand been talking about this person that would take care of me on the way here and I still don't understand what he is talking about. I looked over at the house and the door opened. A man with sandy blonde hair in a pony tail, wearing glasses, stood in the doorway. "Kaname-kun?" he tilted his head. "What are you doing here at this time of night?"
"Ah, well..." he laughed shyly. "I sort of ran into a slight problem with a Level E Vampire. One of which, had his eyes set on this girl."
The man looked toward me, then back at Kaname. "I see. What is it you're going to ask of me?"
"That's the thing see..." he paused for a moment, then spoke again. "She doesn't have anyone to take care of her and I was wondering if you would?"
The man was quiet. He seemed like he would do anything for Kaname but, he looked like he was trying to find a way to say no politely.
Kaname bowed. "Please? I don't trust anyone else to take care of her but you."
"Kaname-kun..."
"Please!" Kaname repeated.
"That's enough, Kaname-kun." the man sighed. "Please raise your head."
Kaname did so. He looked disappointed, but also kind of understanding. "I know it's too much of a burden for you and for that I apologize but, I can't take her with me for fear of her safety."
The man held his hand up, stopping Kaname from continuing. "There's no need for you to apologize, Kaname-kun. I understand." He looked over at me and smiled, then continued talking to Kaname. "But, she will need things that I don't have."
Kaname's eyes brightened. "Yes. Of course. I will bring them as soon as I can."
Kaname motioned me toward the man and knelt down in front of me. "Yuuki, this is Kaien. He is the person I told you that would take of you."
I looked at Kaname blankly and nodded slightly. He smiled at me and gently pushed me inside the house. I turned around and stared at Kaname.
He stood up and brushed some snow off his knees. "Thank you for doing this, Kaien."
Kaien nodded. "Your welcome."
Kaname looked at me and smiled again. "I promise to visit as much as I can." He waved and disappeared.
How did he know my name? Will he come visit me like he promised? Kaien grabbed my hand, pulling my further into the house, and shut the door. He seemed nice, but every part of me still felt scared. Please come back soon, Kaname.
