ummmm okay sooooooo sorry for the late update (lynda) we were really busy but ummmm anyways you guys can thank lynda for this chapter beacuse she kept on our backs 24/7 about dis story sahhh with out further a due we present chappie three
ohhh and shout out to our first 6 reviewers you have no idea how happy we were when we saw the reviews hehehehe
She showed me everywhere. The cafeteria, girls toilets, gymnasium, locker rooms, everywhere. She told me everything about the school. How it has a day and night class, how all of the night class are beautiful, how everyone of the girls go rabid over the boys. How she has become prefect to stop the girls from tearing the boys to shreds, and how Zero's one too. She also told me that the reason Hanbusa is at the Headmaster's is because one day, he snuck out of school and went to a strip club, and then came back SUPER late, all because 'his car was stolen'. I blushed but luckily, Ariah didnt ask any questions, because she knows that if i wanted to tell her, i would have. By the time she was finished, it was already dark, we could hardly see each other. but it was nice. It reminded me of our old memories. We always used to stay up late, sneak onto the roof of whatever building we were staying in. Staring up at the stars Eventually, she wanted to know about life as a theif.
"So," she said, sitting down under a tall tree, a bit uneasy. "how did Letty take it, when i left?"
That question caught me off guard. It took me a second, but eventually i shrugged.
"How everyone took it, i guess," i said. "I mean, she was surprised at first, then angry because you were the only one other than me that she trusted. And ever since then, shes been harder on everyone, trying to make them as much of a pro as you," i said with a playful punch on her arm. She laughed and then got serious.
"What about you, though?" She asked quietly.
"What about me?"
"Were you okay? Just being with Letty? I know you get pissed off easily, especially with Letty..." She trailed off.
I laid down on the soft grass before answering.
"Yeah, well, Letty was hard to be around. She was always trying to pick fights with me, always trying to piss me off. At one point, we did end up getting into a fight," i said quietly. I heard a quiet gasp from Ariah.
"What happened?" Was all she managed to squeak out. I thought back on it. All i seemed to remember was getting angry at what Letty had said then i started to throw punches. And then it all started to throw down.
"I cant remember that well," i said uncertainly. "I remember Letty saying something to me, cant remember what though, then i up and punched her in the jaw. She lunged at me... But i think i ended on top of her, punching her face in the ground. I remember the only thing that went through my head was 'kill, kill, kill..'
"I was so blinded by hatred that i didnt even see her dagger fly at me. In fact, i didnt feel it either. Well, not until a few moments later that is..." I pointed to the light scar under my eye. She looked at it and her eyes widened. She let her thumb gently caress the scar.
"You know, if she got you any higher, you would have lost an eye..." She said quietly as she laid down next to me.
"Yeah, i know.." Was my answer.
"How did it end?" She asked.
"How did what end?"
"The fight. Who broke you two apart?"
"Oh. Well, we were in this old building, because for the first time ever, our plan was busted and we had to retreat, but not many people were there. It took about 2 minutes for three people to drag her off me, and when she was off, i lunged at her and knocked her to the ground... I cant remember what happened next," i said.
"Sorry..." Ariah said quietly. I turned my head to face her in confusion. She had an ashamed look on her face and she wouldn't allow her eyes to meet mine.
"What are you apologizing for, Ariah?" I asked her in confusion.
Finally she let her eyes meet mine. They were sad and ashamed.
"Because.. If, if i didn't leave, then i would have been there to break you two apart faster, or prevent the fight all together!" She said, obviously disgusted with herself.
I moved closer and put a hand on hers. She looked up at me with an unknown expression. I smiled warmly at her.
"Look, its not your fault. You were forced to move in with your uncle. Its okay. And its not like i regret the fight. If anything, I am glad it happened. It made me realize how much of a monster Letty could be.. How much of a monster i could be... It made me stronger. If i didn't take all my anger out on her, then i have a good feeling i would have done it to someone i love..." I trailed off.
Just at that moment, i remembered something.
"Hey, do you know where Kyle's room is?" I asked with a smirk. Ariah's mood lightened up quickly as she nodded and stood up and told me to follow her.
We reached the boys sun dorms in what seemed like no time at all. The building was huge, with old vines and stuck out bricks all over the place. The building look gothic. In fact, everything about Cross Academy seemed gothic. We were standing at the front of the building that the day class boys shared.
"Here we are!" Said Ariah lightly. I looked up at the dorms to see if anyones lights were one. Surely enough, one was. Right at the top. I smirked. A challenge.
"Is that his dorm up there, Ariah?" I asked her as i pointed to the window. She glanced up and her expression turned into an uncertain one.
"Maybe... I don't really know the boys dorm that well..." She weirdly blushed when she said that. She was also completely oblivious of me. She didn't even realize i was walking up to the stone wall, planning to climb the stone walls to the window.
When she finally realized i wasn't at her side, she raised her eyebrows at me.
"What are you thinking, Kita?" She asked.
"Come on, Ariah," I urged. "Let's see if you haven't lost your gracefulltouch touch."
She quirked her eyebrows up in realisation and said:
"Challenge accepted! Race ya to the top!"
And with that, we both raced up the wall. We were in that moment. The moment where anythings possible. I haven't felt this free since the last song my father sung with me. Since I looked into my new brothers eyes when Kyle was first born. His beautiful, golden eyes that most people would kill for. My fathers eyes...
We grabbed onto anything possible, window panes, vines, stuck out bricks, and hoisted ourselves up. I was just about to grab onto something but stopped and started to watch Ariah.
She latched her arms onto what seems like a vine and flipped her body upwards, landing on a window pane both gracfuly and flawlessly. She was about six windows above me. I smirked.
'Fine then. Let's play rough,' I thought as I raced up and grabbed onto a nearby vine, and swung myself up. I landed three windows below Ariah and raced up next to her, smirking and winking at her when i passed her.
In the end, she ended up winning the race by almost a milisecond. I smiled at her and she smiled back, although hers was more of a smirk. We were both out of breath as we stayed latched onto two vines just below the window.
"So," Ariah started in a whisper. "Have i lost my touch, Kita m'dear?" I 'pfft'ed and gently pushed her shoulder.
"I gave you a headstart," i whispered back as she tinkled a laugh. At the same time, we both stretched our necks to peek into the window, where we heard voices and saw shapes, although it was a bit blurry due to the light, see through curtain. One was definetly Kyles, and another was a voice i didnt recognise, obviously his roommate.
"You know her?" I heard Kyle ask in a whisper. Whos 'her'...?
"Yeah man, of course i know her. Everyone knows Sara Chii. Shes the prettiest girl in our year level!" His roommate replied in an excited voice.
"Shes beautiful..." Kyle mumbled.
"You like her dont you? Look, sorry to break it to you, but she doesnt date. Like seriously, you'll have a better chance at Lily Chen than her."
"Whos Lily Chen?" Kyle asked.
"Lily Chen is the school delenquent. She hangs around with 18 year olds and always gets into fights and kicked out of class. You'll have a better chance at her than Sara," his roommate replied.
"Well, i dont know, Ren. She looked quite nervous and shy when i bumped into her," I heard my brother reply in a confident voice.
"You bumped into her? What happened? Did she call you a perv and run off or what?" His eager friend Ren asked. I could just see Kyle blush and i couldnt help but smile at his cuteness.
"Well, i was walking around with Hanabusa Aidou and-"
"Your friends with Hanabusa Aidou?!" His BOY roommate squealed as Kyle flinched back.
"Um, i guess so... Why?"
"Hanabusa Aidou is from the NIGHT CLASS! No one is friends with the night class except for the prefects! You are so lucky!" Ren squealed, then settled down as he took in Kyle's horrified expression.
"So uh, you were walking around with Hanabusa Aidou, right? Is that how you bumped into Sara?" Kyle nodded slowly.
"What did you guys say to each other?" Ren curiously asked. Kyle sighed.
"Well, she dropped her books and she bent down to pick them up, so i helped her. When we stood back up our eyes met, she started to blush, and so did I..."
"And then?!"
"I said sorry, she said its alright, then i handed her books back to her and she walked off."
"And then?!"
"What do you mean, 'And then?'" Kyle said, confusion taking over his face.
"Well, did you follow her? Take photos of her?!" Ren demanded. Kyle looked horrified.
"Do i look like a stalker?!" He shouted, making Ren flinch and stutter.
"O-oh no you d-dont, Kyle. I-I'm just asking. P-please, put that photo frame down, its making me nervous." Kyle looked down at his hand with shock in his expression. He gently put down the picture frame on the drawer next to him hung his head.
"Whos she?" Ren asked my brother. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the picture frame, smiling slightly.
"My mother," Kyle answered. Ren moved off his bed and snuck over next to Kyle, both staring the the picture.
"And I'm guessing that the cute little baby is you?" Ren asked knowingly. Kyle only nodded.
I suddenly felt a tug on my shoulder and i looked at Ariah. When i looked into her ocean blue, grey flecked eyes, they seemed almost sad. This startled me.
"Ariah?" i asked in a soft voice i could barely manage, due to the sadness in her face. "Whats wrong?" she smiled at me and then answered.
"Oh, nothing. Just tired." I frowned at her, slightly annoyed.
"You know you can tell me anything. I'll support you no matter what," i let her know, but she only brushed me off and gave me another forced smile.
"I know, Kita. Lets go, the boys will be off to bed and I'm missing mine. So if you dont mind..." I sighed as if i was annoyed at her.
"Fine. Time to get sleeping beauty to bed." and with that, we both raced down, me winning this time.
"You only won because you jumped when we had like, six windows to go. You could have twised your anckle, Kita. You have to be more careful," Ariah scolded as i lightly punched her shoulder.
"Aw, your such a sore loser, Ariah," I teased as she huffed out air. I laughed and ruffled her hair playfully, but that playful moment was over quickly because we both heard a rustle out of the shadows. Ariah, quick as light, grabbed a golden whip out of God knows where and stood in front of me, her whip coiled around her wrist, her eyes scanning our surroundings dangerously. I had my two sided dagger out and turned around, my back against Ariahs, just incase it was an ambush from Letty. I was thinking about sliding out my gun too, but then i remembered i left it in my bag, which is still in Aidou's car. I thought i saw a movement in the forest next to us, but it quickly vanished as if it was never there. An animal, possibly.
"Ariah," i heard a male voice greet her from behind me, i turned around quickly and faced the sorce of the voice. It was a male, obviously, he had dark brown hair, almost black, and he had eyes almost the colour of wine, or dark blood... Something about him smelt trouble to me.
"Kaname," Ariah greeted back polietly but still a bit shocked. "What are you doing here? Is there something you need?"
"Ah, no. I dont need anything. Although I must ask you and your little friend to put down your weapons, for I do not bring any harm to you," while saying this, he took a few steps closer, his eyes burning into mine whenever he looked into them. Ariah put her golden whip away and stood next to me. I, however, kept my dagger out.
"Kita, put it away," Ariah nudged me, and i looked at her in confusion.
"But hes a vampire, Ariah! Cant you sense it?" i asked, returning my eye to the vampire. Ariah rubbed the back of her neck and looked down.
"Yeah, he is, but he is a student here. Hes the head of the night class, and all the night class are Vampires..." I raised my eyebrows at her but put my dager back in my belt, and the vampire, Kaname, stepped towards me, offering his hand, which i shook slowly.
"My name is Kaname Kuran, and yes, as Ariah has said, I am head of the night class. Its a pleasure to meet you, Kita," he said politely, and i nodded back slowly, utterly shocked to see him so calm around a girl who was ready to, or have a good go at, kill him. "i must go now. All i wanted is to meet the famous Kita Silver. Goodbye, Ariah," and with that, he was gone. It was almost like he was never there. How mysterious. Most girls would find that attractive, but i only found it creepy and weird.
"Kita, you coming?" i heard Ariah ask, tugging gently on my sleeve. I nodded to her and we raced back to Headmasters. As we crashed through the door giggling like children, I instantly remembered i should be heading off. I hugged Ariah and she hugged me back.
"Well, goodbye, Ariah." As i said that, she almost screamed.
"KITA! YOU CANT GO NOW! YOU MUST SLEEP OVER AND STAY WITH US!" she shouted as i flinched back, shocked that she was reacting this way.
"Ariah, i cant stay with you. I want to, but its not like im going to school with you or anything..." but she just wouldnt have it. She snapped her fingers to shut me up and then pulled me to her room, where she locked the door.
The room was any typical teenages room. Her walls were black with posters of bands and people. She had a mirror with makeup everywhere, and her bed was messy and unmade. She had clothes everywhere, dirty and clean, laying pointlessly on her carpet floor. She also, i noticed, didnt have curtains. She walked into her bathroom, which i followed her in, then as soon as i was in there, she turned the hot water for the shower on. I looked at her in confusion as she scurried back in her room and pulled out a big t shirt with some sort of band, and handed it to me, along with other toiletries.
"Here," she said as she gave them to me. "Take a shower while i clean my room."
I sighed, "Ariah, i told you i cant stay."
"Yes you did. You said that you cant stay because your not attending the school," she confirmed. "So thats why you ARE going to attend school. Not as a student, but as a prefect. With Zero and I." I stared at her, and realized that shes not going to take no for an answer.
"What about Headmaster?" i asked, secretly hopeful that he wouldnt approve. She smiled at me.
"Headmaster? Oh, no need to worry your pretty little mind, Kita. He'll be thrilled with the idea. He has always wanted another prefect to join but none of the students could be trusted. And even if they could be, in no way whatsoever would he allow the risk of harm come to his students." And with that, she shut the bathroom door.
I sighed. What if Letty found me? What would she do to Ariah, just to get back at me? I really need to leave, but i dont want to. I havent seen Ariah in about 2 years and now we are finally reunited. Screw this, I'm staying. I promised i would always protect Kyle, and how can i do that if we're seperated?
But one things for sure, i will not drag Ariah back into the life of a thief. So with that, I stripped down and stepped into the shower, deciding that i would stay.
welll ummm sorry if it was short well anyways please review! oh and lynda if you are reading this text meh!
