"Kain, what are you thinking about?" Ruka interrupted my train of thought.

"Nothing that is of your concern" I retorted bitterly. Ever since she had flat out rejected me, in front of everyone, I hadn't been on good terms with the brown haired girl.

"You're right, why should I concern myself with any of your problems" she replied, just as icily. And she had done the same.

"You shouldn't , now I have work to do, please leave me to it" I said crisply.

As I watched the retreating back of the girl I used to fantasize over, my mind wondered lazily to the girl at the gates. She was a mystery, and I like mysteries.

Just then, the luxurious smell of blood flooded my nose, and probably everyone else's.

Koto POV

I stared at the scarlet covered wrist, the darkening sadness that surrounded my world had subsided for a short length of time, but it never left my mind for a second that it would soon be clawing its way back up to the surface of my miserable excuse for a life.

I staggered to my feet and blundered my way over to the in room bathroom. I turned the tap and cold water flowed at an even pace. I held my wrist under it, letting the clear liquid wash the crimson off, spreading it over the basin and mixing in with the water. Turning back around I wiped my arm and dressed it in the white bandages, wrapping it cautiously around my arm. I suddenly got an unexpected pang that someone was watching me, for the second time that day. I ignored it though, I always got that feeling. Always.

Kain POV

I was staring into the room of the girl I met in the courtyard. The question of why she was so depressed just got a lot more graphic. The look in her eyes held, despair, defeat and hopelessness.

I'd never seen such a sad, depressing person. And I'm a vampire.

She was just so… mysterious. I didn't like not knowing things, and I didn't know a lot about this girl. After I smelt the blood, I slipped out of the room and followed the smell of rust. I looked into the girls room and there she was arm dripping with blood. Her blood smelled, different. It was like a heavenly poison. So much so that I had to restrain myself from licking my lips. She swayed up, probably a little lightheaded from the blood-loss. I watched as the water in the basin turned from clear, to pink to light red. She dressed her arm and went to her bed.

The smell of her was intoxicating, inviting, desirable. I wanted so much to even taste a drop of her blood, it was like nothing I had ever experienced before. Weird.

I realised that the time now was 12:15pm and the moonlight was shining on the peaceful face of the girl. Her crow black hair was strewn across her pillow and not hiding her face. I was mesmerized by the beautiful elegance was more intoxicating then the blood. She was more gorgeous then I had first thought.

"Kain, go back to the classroom, and leave this poor human alone" the extremely noticeable voice of our pure blood king, kaname Kuran.

"Kaname! Yes sir, I'm so sorry sir" I tried to get down, but kaname held my arm.

"This girl, has faced more then her fair share of trauma, she doesn't want to be noticed and I know her blood smells sweeter then most, but she doesn't deserve anymore sadness" he let go of my arm and I leapt down his words still circulating in my mind.

I wondered back to the classroom and sat down at my desk silently. And Hanabusa chose that moment to come up to me and said; "Did you smell that, that blood. Oh god wasn't it heavenly, I really want to know whose that blood is, I cant stop thinking about it"

"Be more idiotic Hanabusa" I replied tonelessly.

"But you had to have smel- wait, is that why you left for like 2 hours?" he asked, smirking.

"Leave it alone aido" I said, a bit more sternly.

"Whose blood was it, oh was it that girl you helped up today, she smelled lovely" he said leaning down.

"Aido I said to leave it" I was practically yelling.

"She looked so mysterious, and you hate things you don't know, am I right?"

"AIDO" I stood up. He looked at me, curious about my sudden out burst.

"Just leave me to my book, ok?" I sat down bringing the book up to eye level. After a few seconds he left and the room returned to normal.
