My Husband Is A Night Class Student

Chapter 2: Meeting You
"O-oi!" Kain panicked, confused at what he is suppose to do. Erase her memories right now and then or send her immediately to the school clinic. The girl's blood began to pool the ground beneath them slowly. This is not good. For sure every night class knows that there is an injured day class student, especially the pureblood. Kain shook slightly at the thought of facing the pureblood face to face at this situation when its more likely he is the one to blame. Kain shifted his arms underneath her bringing her close in a bridal style ready to leave the place. He looked behind him to find the ashes gone, his eyes widen. '..oh no...' The wind probably blew it away already while he was distracted with the bleeding girl in his arms. Now, how will he explain the situation he is in? He grunted under his breath and stood up without any hardship while carrying the girl gently in his arms, bridal style.
He took note that her blood already stained most of his clothing making him looked like he did it. Not to mention the huge stain near his collar caused by when she crashed into him. Kain took a deep breath calming himself and taming the monster inside him at the same time.
"..I hope none of them appears..." He murmured to himself.
Kain spoke too soon when the pureblood stepped in the scene and at the same time the two prefects coming from the other direction. Without warning he hold his breath watching but felt relief that the pureblood is the only present and not the others. He probably told everyone that he would be dealing with...him.
"Hinata?" Yuuki screamed, worriedly. Zero narrowed his eyes at him but didn't took his gun out.
"Kaname-sempai..." She looked at him, failing to great him with her usual happy face but this is not the right time to think about that when one of her friends is in deep trouble.
Kaname walked beside Kain and looked at the girl. "What have you done?" Kaname asked, you could tell by the tone of his voice that he is not amused. Kain tried to breath slowly closing his eyes and then opening them again. He has to say something or else it might get worse.
Zero gritted his teeth and grunted failing to keep himself cool. His eyes turned crimson red and quickly covered his nose with his hand.
"Zero, are you alright?"
Zero turned to his side avoiding eye contact, slightly shaking his head. "Never mind about me...what about Hinata..." He said while breathing hard and keeping the smell of the blood away from him.
Yuuki looked at Kain ,who haven't said anything when they arrived, seriously. What really happened.
Before Kain could explain, Kaname interrupted. "We could discuss this in the chairman's office but right now bring miss Daidouji-san to the school clinic." It was an order.
Both Yuuki and Kain nodded, turning to leave.
"Zero, go to the chairman and tell him what just happened here." Yuuki added while accompanying Kain. Kain glanced at her. "I don't remember saying anything yet, Cross-san."
Yuuki sweat dropped. "Oh... right.."
…...
The chairman sighed after hearing both Zero and Kaname's point of view of the situation then looked up when both Yuuki and Kain entered the room. Zero stood leaning on of the book shelves while Kaname sat on one of the coaches quietly.
"Akatsuki Kain..." The chairman was speechless when he saw Kain's blood stained clothes. Kain didn't bother to show how disturb he is as well and decided to take his blazer off although his pants is also stained with Hinata's blood.
'So.. Daidouji Hinata is her name...'
The chairman coughed a little trying to compose himself once again. He gestured for Kain to sit down while Yuuki stood beside Zero. Kaname took a sip of his drink before starting the discussing again.
"Kain, what really happened back there?" The chairman asked, as calmly and politely as he could.
Kain nodded, ready to explain everything. ' This shouldn't take too long...'
…...
Hinata opened her eyes to find herself lying on one of the clinic beds and with her neck bandaged. At first she felt light headed then a pain shot through her head causing her winced in pain. "what...happened to me..." Unaware that someone else is also in the room with her, hiding beneath the shelve's shadows.
"Are you alright now?" Kain walked away from his sort-of hiding place towards her. Hinata looked at him in surprised but then immediately calmed. She looked behind him at the clock and her eyes widen with realization. She's been sleeping for a long time. Its already one in the afternoon. Before she could say that she missed a lot of school work Kain spoke.
"You have lost a lot of blood last night that's why you are here." he looked at her. When the sunlight lightened her face he then noticed her beautiful long, dark brown hair that reached down her back and her dark red-brown eyes. For a moment Kain was fascinated with her unique beauty. He was so distracted from the situation they are in last night that he wasn't able to notice and she was also unconscious. Hinata blinked at him, confused.
"w-what..do you mean..." her voice was low and soft but he could hear her clearly enough. Kain slightly shook his head realizing that he was starring at her. He walked a little closer towards her bed.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" he looked at her seriously, letting her remember.
"Last...night.." She whispered but still Kain heard and he nodded slowly, getting a chair and sit beside her.
"last night.." She whispered again, deep in thought.
Kain narrowed his eyes a little as he watched her, waiting patiently. 'She should be able to remember...'
Hinata's eyes slowly widen, remembering. Slowly she reached to her neck feeling the bandage.
"That doesn't matter since YOU WILL DIE~!"
The voice of the level E vampire echoed within her mind and she hold her head in pain. She then hugged herself trying hard to comfort herself then she looked at him feeling really lost at the moment. Kain was alarmed, noticing that she was shaking a little too much.
"Daidouji-san, are you alright?" He asked standing up from his seat. "Please calm down."
Hinata shook her head slowly. Closing her eyes and then opening them again. Kain could tell that she was trying hard not to scream but what is he suppose to do?
When she opened her eyes she looked at him eye to eye. Kain was a little taken aback by this small act. No one really looked at him in the eye when they talk except for the pureblood (Kuran Kaname), Aidou, his friends, and his parents. But this human...just...did.
"W-who are you...?"
Flash Back:
"I'm sorry if I didn't make it on time..." Kain explained. Glancing a little on the blood stain on his pants. The chairman shook his head.
"Its alright. Now that we know what really happened, about Hinata-chan..."
Yuuki looked down on the floor, feeling really worried.
Kaname placed down his drink when Kain spoke.
"As usual...erase her memories?"
"No." Kaname said suddenly catching everyone's attention. Zero narrowed his eyes at this.
"Kaname-kun?" The chairman stared at the pureblood raising both is eyebrows at the same.
"Daidouji-san will not have her memories erase... at the moment."
"Eh? You mean-but Kaname sempai we are not suppose to let any day class students know about the night class secret, right." Yuuki said in surprise.
'What is he thinking now?' Kain thought quietly.
"Indeed, but..." Kaname paused then continue. "...I would like to see if she could be trusted with the secret."
"Kaname sempai..."
Zero was about to protest when the chairman realized what Kaname mean. "GREAT IDEA, KANAME-KUN!"
"Chairman?"
Kain looked at the chairman slightly confused.
"Hinata-chan have duties during the night so she is bound to know the secret sooner or later. If we erase her memory right now we could probably face the same situation and then erase her memory all over again. Its not very are just lucky to night that Akatsuki-kun was able sense their presence." The chairman explained, giving the noble vampire a small smile of encouragement.
"Well... I know Hinata for quite sometime and...I believe she will understand." Yuuki said with a smile, realizing that all this time having Hinata out during the night makes her really worried. Not to mention how in the world would she keep her from finding out the night class secret at the same time guarding the school grounds for any rule breakers?
Zero grumbled something to himself but didn't say anything more than that and turned his head on the side trying to calm himself.
Chairman nodded at Yuuki then turned to Akatsuki. "Akatsuki-kun, I'm sure this is new for you especially now that one of our day class students knows your and the night class secret but please take care of Hinata-chan until she regains consciousness? And that she is alright with the..."the chairman paused for a second trying to find the words then continued. "...the situation." He grinned at him and Kain sweat dropped glancing at the pureblood in front of him. Then nodded, slowly.
End of flash back:
"I will answer you but please calm down. Everything is alright. You are safe now." Kain said again, he looked at her showing that he is concerned. Hinata saw this and slowly she calmed. Kain looked around trying to sense any presence of any kind then when he sensed none he looked back at Hinata.
Hinata sat quietly looking down at the mattress on her must be thinking about last night, Kain could still see that. After what seemed like thirty minutes Hinata finally disrupt the silence. Her question almost made him fell from his seat.
"Ano..sempai...what's your name?"
"Eh?" Akatsuki felt that he sounded stupid for a second and shocked. To have a day class students, a girl as the matter of fact, ask his name as if she never heard when she came into Cross Academy, is extremely very rare. Akatsuki swallowed a little trying to compose himself noting that she is already starring at him.
"Oh... Kain...Kain Akatsuki." He said. "You are Daidouji Hinata, right?"
"You know my name?" She asked, her voice was really low and kindly soft as if she is talking to a family member. Somehow it makes him feel more comfortable unlike awhile ago. When she realized her blood was sucked by a vampire he didn't like seeing or hearing her that way. Surprisingly, it frightened him. Kain's eyes widen slightly at the thought and mentally shook his head.
What in the world is he thinking now really...
Kain nodded. " Well, Cross-san mentioned it and she also told me."
"Yuuki-chan...is she alright?" She asked looking him with her big, cute, reddish-brown eyes. Kain blinked. " Cross-san is alright nothing happened with her. Your the only one who was attacked."
"Yokatta...(I'm so glad..)" She said, smiling calmly, sounding relief. Kain blinked twice this time. 'Why is she concerned with Yuuki's safety when it is clearly that she is the one being attacked? Strange girl.' Kain thought but felt himself slightly smiling.
"Just one question. Kiryuu-san explained to the chairman last night that he is supposed to pick you up in the clinic after your clinic duties. Why didn't you wait?"
Hinata gasped. "Oh...yeah..Kiryuu-sempai." She looked thoughtful for a moment before speaking. " I'm sorry. I don't...well, I think I was too tired that I forgot..." She said, her sentence trailing. Kain sighed inwardly. "Well, you will have to explain it to him and the chairman soon once you recover."
"Right..." She nodded then looked at him. "Arigato, Kain-sempai."
Kain nodded at this, smiling a little although he really wants to smile. This girl really is making him do things he never really do before. A human at that!
"About what happened last night. I could explain."
Hinata listened quietly as Akatsuki told her everything she has to know of the events last night. Akatsuki felt glad that she seem to accept everything that he had told her. It only took him less than thirty minutes to explain everything and the rest was left for her to ask any questions. He also explained the hierarchy of the vampire society, the level E's and the school's goal since she asked.
"I see." She said then looked at the scenery at the window. "Demo, Kain-sempai..."
"Yes?"
"Are you... alright with me knowing all this?" She asked not looking at him. He raised an eyebrow at her. "Even though the chairman and... Kuran sempai decided to let me keep my memories, is it really o.k.?"
Hinata sounded like she is disturbed and Kain could tell by her voice.
Kain didn't answer immediately, thinking that whatever his answer at this question would really affect her in many ways. Especially, coming from the one who saved her.
"Well,..." He started. Hinata looked at him. "...to be honest I couldn't be sure at first."
Then he looked at her seriously but his voice was soft. "But I guess after talking to you for a short moment I think its alright."
Hinata smiled at this then slowly she tucked herself in the blankets. "I feel tired." She said, looking at him, satisfied. "I will sleep a little bit more before going back to the dorm."
Kain nodded but didn't made any move to leave the room as if he was expecting her to rest again. Hinata blinked at him. "Kain-sempai."
"Yes?" Trying hard not to look too much at her eyes. Good thing she doesn't notice.
"Aren't you suppose to be... back at the moon dorm?" She questioned. "And... you are suppose to be sleeping."
"I should be sleeping at eight in the morning..." Kain said, failing to hide that he is tired and yawned a little. "...but the moon dorm president ordered me to look after you. After all, the moment I saved you from the level E vampire you are my responsibility."
Hinata stared at him and a pink blushed appeared on her cheeks then looked down so that he wouldn't notice. He probably did since he is looking at her.
Suddenly, she sat up ,surprising Akatsuki and in alarm, and jumped off the bed. Kain eyed her feeling his ears heating up as he stared at her. Hinata just simply jumped off the bed without putting on the slippers provided and walked towards one of the cabinets with bare foot...and of course her legs are exposed since it was taken off so that she would at least feel comfortable. Her blazer is folded well on the side drawer next to him. You could imagine how intimidating she looks with just her uniform blouse and skirt.
"Daidouji-san?"
Hinata took a blanket and a pillow from the cabinet and brought it to him. Kain stood up in attemp to help her. What is she up to?
"Uhm, do you need a help with that? Are you uncomfortable?"
"Kain-sempai, you need to sleep!"
'That's what she is worried about?' Kain thought, speechless.
Hinata walked pass Kain and placed the pillow and blanket on the coach near the side drawer. Kain watched her every movement not sure what to do. To have someone he just barely know cares for his welfare. He's a noble vampire!
Hinata finished fixing then turned to face the speechless noble vampire. She looked at him sternly when she noticed the look on his face, as if a child who dares disobey its mother just to play more with he's toys, and placed her hands on her hips.
"Kain-sempai, I will not rest until you take this hour to sleep."
Kain shook his head a little but Hinata saw it and looked at him in the eye that made Kain feel even more tired than before. Yes, he really needs to rest. After changing for new clothes in the moon dorm he has to come back to take care of her. Damn, when ever you need a doctor there is no doctor.
"Kuran-sama told me to take care of you. He did not told me to sleep while you are my responsibility." He said, his voice failing.
"Yeah, whatever that is...you need to rest."
Kain stood still.
Hinata sighed. "Kain-sempai, even though you told me about vampires there is still many things I still do not know. Kuran-sempai...your leader..." She said, her voice stern and determined.
"...he may have ordered you to do things but you have to take care of yourself or else you will fail to do you responsibility." Hinata finished saying, after three seconds, she realized the meaning behind her last sentence and blushed.
Kain stared at her and she stared back. There was an awkward silence between. Kain move to placed his hands in his pockets casually trying to ease the tension. Responsibility. She made it sound like he would fail to protect her if he doesn't do what she says. To think that someone whom you just saved would talk about you taking responsibility.
Hinata stared back at him seriously this time and Kain finally gave up.
"Fine..." He sighed tiredly. He could already feel the heavy toll on his eyes and his head wasn't helping. Hinata relaxed and smiled. "Good."
With that Hinata went back on her clinic bed and Kain, uneasily, lay on the couch ignoring the blanket for a moment. It doesn't feel comfortable somehow sleeping on the coach with a blanket. When you wake up you still have to remember that you are not sleeping on your own bed.
Hinata giggled which made Kain look back at her. "What's so funny?" Although not feeling offended.
"Nothing." With that she turned around and slept. Kain watched her back for a few more moment before falling asleep too. He really made a new record for not sleeping for more than 22 hours.
