Chapter One: Reunion

Yuki walked onto the campus, smelling the freshly cut grass while he went towards the dorm doors. He has wild short hair, dark brown going towards black, and the most gorgeous topaz eyes you could ever lay eyes on. His skin was a pale white, and as hard as marble.

It had been years since he had last seen this place, and it brought back many memories, good and bad. Meir Link University. Some others call it Vorigan Risika University or just Risika University. The school looked very old, like a castle, but it was very beautiful, and one of the largest in the world, though not known to many. Very unique too. The headmaster made an adjustment a few years ago. They had agreed to let "special students" go here. Students like him. Students who were vampires, cruznics, werewolves, wizards and witches, shapeshifters, elves, etc, in the exception of keeping what they were a secret which they already were good at. He didn't really understand how they could accept that, what with all of the humans around, or even how they would know about them all. He was told he would find out as soon as he met the headmaster. He had been hoping to see a special friend he had a few years back. Yuki was seventeen, and even though he hadn't aged a day since then, he knew she would have. Kichou. Thinking about her made him a little uneasy. He remembered her broken face when he told her he had to leave her. Thinking about it made him shudder. He hadn't meant to break her heart like that. She was fourteen then, and it had been three years. She would be seventeen now, and so was he. He smiled at the promise. Yes…the promise….He was filled with an unexpected joy as he felt a presence walking behind him, sneaking. He knew who it was immediately and turned to look back.

I was so excited. I found out my best friend, Yuki had returned and was coming to the same school as me. she has long, wavy Brunette hair, with amazing hazel eyes that you could stare into and get lost for hours. She was a very sweet and innocent girl, yet very stubborn and very insecure. A very pretty girl but a bit too self-conscious For about five years now we had been out of touch, but now I was getting her chance to finally see him again. It hurt me a lot to think about the day he left, but I shoved it out of my mind as much as I could and went on.

I walked around campus a couple of times but never spotted him. Maybe he was heading towards his dorm? I ran in anticipation to find Daniel, and saw him walking towards the doors to the building. I quietly crept behind him, knowing that it would be no use anyways. He turned towards me.

"Yuki! " I screamed with joy, jumping up and hugging him tightly. "It's been too long!"

"Ah!" Yuki wailed in "surprise". "Kichou! W-what a surprise!!"



His mouth twisted into a nervous crooked smile as he tried to act surprised. Of course he wouldn't be surprised. He saw it coming.

"Hardy har har!" I laughed still hugging him "I missed you a lot..." I looked down and let go. My heart was aching, my heart was thumping but I had no reason in my mind as why. His right hand reached up and pulled my head up with my chin.

"I missed you more…" He whispered softy, looking deep into my eyes. I was immediately dazzled. His beautiful topaz eyes glimmering. His absolutely perfect face, smooth and silky. His wonderful, wild "bad boy" looking hair. He was absolutely astonishing. Absolutely Dazzling. My knees began to shake as I struggled to keep them from failing on me. He smiled and put his arm on my back supporting me. The effect he had on me after not seeing him for so long…the longing…the waiting….the pain…..it was not what I expected. But it didn't matter to me now that he was here.

I took a step back and I walked forward towards the door. "Want to go inside?" I asked.

"S-sure!" he said looking at me in surprise. He could probably hear that her heart was thumping hard and fast. He didn't know if I was aware of his awareness, for I knew his secret. Yuki found it very strange that a human could accept what he was so easily, but happy. He held his hand up as a "ladies first" gesture.

I walked over to the door. "Thank you" I said, leaving the door open for him. He smiled back at me and we walked in together. "Want to go to your room or mine first?"

Daniels POV
"Uh..." The question caught me off guard. Whose room should we go to? Hers or mine? I had not done anything with my room just yet. I have not been there. Hers would probably be the same since she also just got here. But the thought of being in the same room with Kichou, I didn't know what to say or how to react. Even after all they had done and been through together, he still didn't feel safe being alone in a room with a human. Her absence had affected me a lot. With her around I had been able to have power over my thirst, even though at the same time, she was almost irresistible, her smell being so much stronger, so much sweeter than any other human. But I had taught himself self-control, especially around her. I did not want to think of the following week after not having her around. I had crossed the line with another human while thirsty and ended up loosing control. I shivered. My constant diet on animals was not too bad. They blood did its usual job, but never as good as the fresh blood of a human. But I don't have time to be sitting here thinking about the past so I tried to give himself more time. "Which one is closer...?"

KICHOU'S POV
"Mine is at the back of the building, so how about we go to yours?" I smiled. I looked down and spotted his hand lying limp at his side. I felt her heart jump more as the thought of me holding it raced through my mind. "We should get going, curfew will come soon enough." He looked at his watch, and read that it was only 5pm. Curfew wasn't until 9pm. My cheeks flourished with color. I hoped he didn't notice. What if I didn't keep track of time and was in the room too long? But then a though crossed my mind...he's a vampire, I'm human...would this even work? My heart sank low in my chest at the thought. I shook it out of my mind and continued on.

Third Person:
Yuki tried to look passed Kichou as he felt her heart jump and almost skip a beat. He watched and tried to keep it off his mind as another girl walked passed the back to the girls dormitory with another guy he didn't recognize. He felt a sudden urge as he watched them. An urge he knew was practically forbidden to his race. He understood Kichou's feelings. They were the exact same feelings he was having now. He began to doubt his being with her. He should not be friends with another human. Especially a female. It hurt him badly to think of this but he pushed his mind to the fact that it was only for the better. "Kichou...maybe..." He struggled to bring out the words, though he didn't really comprehend why. He was always blunt with his words, and didn't really care much for what would bring of them. But he then realized what he thought he wanted was not really what he wanted. He did not want to hurt her, but he did not want to not be with her. He turned his head to look back at Kichou. Her face was sunken into a grave expression, though he could tell she was trying to hide it with a confident and happy look. He knew she did not like to worry him. It hurt him to see her this way. And for the first time, he did not care for the rules of his kind. He changed his intentions and gently took a hold of her hand. She looked up at him with a surprised look on her face.

"Shall we?" he led the way to the guys dorm towards his room with a confidence he had never felt before. He liked it.

She walked with him towards his room and tried not to sigh. She wondered if he felt like her, in love. She knew he was off traveling for a long time somewhere in Europe but didn't know exactly where. She stayed up nights just wondering where he was and if he was okay. She dreamed about him regularly, always wanting his ice cold hand on her face. Her warm, red face. Her dreams, always the same. She was always in danger, they were always in danger. He ran with her in his arms, and they stopped behind a wall. He looked down at her face and said "I love you" and kissed her. She felt her heart race more than ever before as she kissed him back. A tear slid down her cheek slowly while he stopped the kiss and went down to her neck. His mouth opened widely and that's usually when she would wake up. She was so busy thinking back at her dream that she didn't notice they were there.

He tried to be as gentle with her as possible. It was hard to do that when he was too excited. He wasn't quite there yet but he can never be too careful, and as much as it hurt, he tried to keep a small distance. He wondered if she felt as he did, so very much in love. He wondered if her fast heartbeat was because she was afraid. He looked back at her and tried to give her a reassuring smile, but she must have been distracted because she was looking away. His mind wandered back to Europe and the training he was having there during the night classes at the University his "family" had sent him to. He thought of the agony he felt, always thinking about Kichou. Was she okay? What is she up to? Has she fallen for someone yet? My hopes were not too high. He wondered what she could possibly be thinking at such a critical moment. If she even realized how dangerous this REALLY was. Every time she came too close He would always remind her of the dangers. And every time she would back away with such a sad look that broke his heart to pieces. But now he was not saying anything. He knew she knew the dangers too well. He remembered of the times he went to see her while she was sleeping and wondering what she dreamed of. She was so irresistible, so fragile as a human. He never got close before and he should not be getting close now, or he was afraid it could end up in her death. There was always something there. But he knew there was always that one thing that could make them both so happy. The thing that would keep them together for all eternity. He didn't want to risk her soul. 

He didn't want to curse her like that. But at that moment, all he wanted was her, and it was very tempting. They reached his room and he unlocked the door and held it open for her. She did not look up at him as she went in. What could she be thinking?
