Took me a bit to finish this chapter (oh yes me and procrastination are friends)

Silver Souls

The three eventually reached the headmasters office after passing many dark hallways and even darker rooms.

Yuuki opened a door that Mariya supposed was his office when a man all but nailed Yuuki to the ground with hugs and kisses. At that point Zero looked as if he could have ripped the mans head off without any regret. Mariya thought Zero would but then the man gained his composure when he saw that it was not only Yuuki and Zero in his presence.

Mariya then concluded that this man was the headmaster. He walked over to his ancient looking desk and sat in it. Now, looking much more professional then he did before he said to Mariya, "Now what brings you here?"

Mariya walked to his desk while being stared at by Zero.

Just as she was about to speak the headmaster popped up and said, "That's right. Mariya-chan needs a room to sleep in." "Oh!", the headmaster exclaimed, "I almost forgot, Mariya-chan I hereby install you as Prefect number three!"

"What?", Zero snarled.

"But headmaster,",exclaimed Yuuki, "Does she know about..."

"I-",the headmaster began. "Yes",affirmed Mariya confidently, "I know about vampires."

"But why didn't you tell us?",said Yuuki looking hurt.

"You never asked",Mariya said brushing it off. "No wonder you were so calm when the night class came out, I was sure you were going to scream",Yuuki said smiling.

"What kind of girl does she take me for?",thought Mariya sadly.

"Are you one of them?", Zero snapped, looking daggers at Mariya. Mariya, who could feel his gaze without even looking at him said, "If I was one of them would I be wearing the day class uniform?" Zero didn't look satisfied but then the headmaster said, "Now now children get along" while holding Mariya's key.

"Mariya-chan let's go, I'll show you to your room!",Yuuki exclaimed. Then Yuuki took the key and grabbed Mariya's wrist and exited.

"Headmaster",Zero growled. "Zero-kun don't you have prefect duties?",the headmaster said. Then Zero left without saying another word.

Yuuki viciously (if that was possible) pulled Mariya through the dark hallways of Cross Academy. "Yuuki is there a problem?", said Mariya, as she was being pulled down the hallway like a rag doll. "..."

"Yuuki",Mariya said calmly.

"..."

"Yuuki",Mariya said a bit louder.

".."

Mariya stopped dead in her tracks not budging when Yuuki tried to pull her again.

"Yuuki...we passed the room already",Mariya said as she removed Yuuki's hand from her wrist.

Mariya then took the key and said, "It's ok I got it from here." Yuuki then turned around tears in her eyes and ran back to where they came from.

"What happened...?",Mariya thought as she turned around and continued to walk to her new room. "Did I do something?",she thought again.

Then Mariya suddenly noticed how dark it was in the hallway and that she had no idea where her room was. Mariya looked around herself anxiously telling herself she was not afraid of the dark. Then another voice popped into her head and said, ",only the things in it."

Mariya, scaring herself for no reason, continued to look around herself when something bumped straight into her. Feeling that it was warm and wearing a uniform she looked up and saw Zero looking straight down at her. Embarrassed, Mariya took a step back and said, " Ah sorry Kiryuu-kun, I didn't see you there."

"Just watch where your going",Zero said slightly scowling. He then started to walk around Mariya but then Mariya said, "Um..." Zero turned around and looked at her. Mariya ,being completely over critical because of the situation at hand, thought Zero was looking into her soul as he was staring at her.

"Um...do you know where... um Yuuki is?"

"Wasn't she with you?",Zero said nonchalantly.

"Oh...",Mariya said. "Well-",she begun. "Aren't you going to your room?",Zero questioned.

"Yeah.",Mariya said. "Isn't it that way?", he said pointing in the direction she came from.

"...maybe?",Mariya said, yet again, embarrassed. Zero scowled,"Follow me, your room is in the part of the house that is actually used."

He started walking in the direction he pointed to and Mariya followed. "Sorry about this",she said as they walked down the painfully dark hallway.

Zero didn't reply.

They approached a hallway that was brightly lit and they saw the headmaster walk across along with a student. As they got closer they realized that the student was Yuuki and she was lightly brushing off tears from her face.

Zero stopped dead in his tracks causing Mariya to also stop just an inch behind him. Mariya felt herself get warm when her heart beat very fast as if it was her fault Yuuki was crying.

Mariya stood frozen not sure what to do, when Zero turned and looked at her. The face Zero gave her was the worst one she had seen yet.

All the other looks and glares were just warnings compared to it. Mariya instinctively took a step back not wanting to step in the dark aura Zero was producing, even though she was already in it.

Zero then took a step closer to her with a look a malice on his face. Mariya then took another step back, this time coming in contact with the wall that was behind her.

Zero moved closer to her and then was only an inch away from her face. Mariya then not only could she feel her own heat from her body but she felt Zero's.

She then looked in his eyes and saw they were not lilac as they once were but they were bright red. Mariya gasped. Zero then grabbed her shoulder and flung her to the brighter side of the hallway. Zero then disappeared into the darker side without a trace.

Mariya had a million thoughts flooding into her head when she then thought, "Zero is a vampire." Mariya then composed herself and walked to find her new room. "What a fun day this has become.",thought Mariya sourly.
