Me: HI! I'm back with the third chapter of The Blood Noble. Sorry it took me so long to update. I was hitting roadblocks. _ But, I got past them! :D So, disclaimers! :D Megumi?
Megumi: Yeah? *looks up from reading a book*
Me: Will you do the disclaimers?
Megumi: Sure...she doesn't own anything but me and the plot.
Me: Thank you! :D
Megumi: Yeah...*continues reading*
Me: So, onto the story! :D
Chapter 3
Megumi ran through the woods, trying to find her best friend.
"Zero! Where the hell are you?" she shouted, stopping and looking around.
"Where is he?" she mumbled to herself.
"It's been 30 minutes. He can't be that good at hiding." she said, putting a black fingernailed hand on her hip. She huffed before stopping because she heard something. She snapped her head towards the sound and saw Zero walking towards her.
"There you are!" she said, running up to him. He looked up at her.
"Sorry. I was having a hard time calming myself down. How's Yuuki?" he said.
"She's ok. Just a small concussion. She'll be fine." Megumi said. Zero nodded and put his hands in his pockets.
"She's going to be fine, Zero. Now, we gotta go. We're late for class." Megumi told him before grabbing his hand and starting to run towards the school. He smiled slightly and ran with Megumi.
"You two are late." the teacher said sternly. Both Megumi and Zero glared at the teacher. The teacher got a scared look on her face.
"Ok. Go sit down." the teacher said, pointing to Zero and Megumi's usual seats. Up at the top in the corner. They walked up and sat down.
"Ok. So, today we're going to be talking about - " the teacher was cut off by the door opening. A tall orange haired boy and a blonde boy came in. All the girls gasped and started squealing. It was Aidou Hanabusa and Kain Akatsuki.
"Yes, Mr. Aidou and Mr. Kain?" the teacher asked.
"We're here to bring Cross Megumi to the headmasters office." Kain said.
"Okay? Did she do something wrong?" the teacher asked. Kain shook his head.
"No. He just wants to see her." he answered in his bored tone. The teacher nodded and looked at Megumi. Megumi nodded and climbed over a sleeping Zero and stopped in front of the cousins. They turned around and walked out of the classroom. Megumi followed.
As they walked, Megumi started getting suspicious.
"We just passed the headmasters office. Where are we going?" she asked. Aidou looked back at her.
"We're not going to the headmasters office. We had to tell the teacher something to get her to let you come with us." Aidou said, winking at her. Then Kain said something.
"We're taking you to Kaname-sama. He ordered us to take you to him." was all he said. Megumi just nodded and didn't say another word.
Kain was going to knock on Kaname's door when they all heard a voice from inside the room say, "Come in." Aidou shivered slightly and watched as Kain opened the door to reveal Kaname standing by his window holding a white knight from a chess board. Kain walked in, then Megumi, then Aidou. Kaname looked at each of them out of the corner of his eye and put the chess piece down.
"Aidou. Kain." he said, turning his head to look at them.
"Yes, Kaname-sama?" they answered at the same time, bowing.
"Leave us." is all Kaname said. They nodded and walked out, leaving Megumi and Kaname alone.
"So... you wanted to see me?" Megumi finally said after a really long awkward silence.
"Yes. I did." was all he said, looking back out his window.
"Okay? Why?" she asked, starting to lose patience.
"I wanted to know if you found Kiryuu-kun." he said, looking at her again.
"Oh... yeah, I found him." she answered.
"Good. We don't want him losing control and killing someone." Kaname said, sounding evil. Megumi growled.
"Don't talk about Zero like that! He does perfectly fine on his own!" she yelled, baring her teeth. Kaname was in front of her in mere seconds. He grabbed her chin and held it tight.
"Don't yell at me." he hissed.
"I'm allowed to yell at you." she growled, ripping her head out of his grip and glaring at him. He glared back and she could hear the windows start to crack from Kaname's power. She stopped it with her own power. She didn't show it, of course. She wasn't stupid. He looked away from her and walked back to his window.
"Kiryuu-kun is just going to sucumb eventually." he said, still sounding slightly evil.
"I know. But, until that happens, he's fine." she snapped. Kaname looked at her again.
"I don't understand you, Megumi." he said, his voice losing all evilness and sounding sweet.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, crossing her arms and glaring at him.
"You used to love being with me. What happened?" he said, his face starting to look sad.
"Yeah. I grew up. That's what happened. Back then, you were the only person I trusted. Now, I trust Zero. I still think of you as a brother, but I've grown out of spending unnessecary time with you." she answered, losing the glare and staring emotionlessly at Kaname. Kaname cringed.
"I loved it when you spent all of your time with me." Kaname said.
"So? I changed. Get it through your thick skull. I don't need your protection anymore." she snapped. Kaname cringed again.
"Can I go now?" she asked. Kaname just nodded and looked out his window again. She sighed slightly before opening the door.
"I'm sorry, Onii-chan. But, you're becoming too much. I will only spend time that is needed with you. Please don't rip me from my lessons just to see me." was all she said, before she walked out, slamming the door behind her. Kaname jumped slightly at the thud of the door. He sighed sadly. He couldn't believe that she had stood up to him like that and then told him that. He felt heart-broken. He heard his door open again and a pair of footsteps come in and close the door again.
"What is it, Kain?" Kaname asked, trying to keep his voice level. He felt like crying.
"Are you alright, Kaname-sama?" he heard Kain's voice ask.
"No..." was all Kaname said, failing to keep his voice from breaking.
"What's wrong?" he asked, sounding genuinly worried. Kaname looked at him with sad eyes and tears building up.
"Kaname-sama. You're... you're crying." Kain said, sounding surprised. Kaname nodded and looked away again, taking a deep breath.
"Please leave, Kain. I... I need to be alone." Kaname said, putting a hand over his face.
"Yes, sir. Please. If you need anything, a shoulder to cry on, anything. Just call me and I will be here." Kain said, sounding sincere. Kain went to leave when he was stopped by Kaname's voice.
"On second thought. Can... Can you stay?" Kaname asked. Kain smiled and closed the door.
"Yes. What do you need?" Kain asked. Kaname looked at Kain and Kain knew exactly what Kaname needed.
"Of course." was all Kain said before walking over to Kaname and wrapping his arms around him. Kaname gripped his shirt before breaking down and sobbing into Kain's chest. Kain stroked Kaname's hair and held Kaname tight as he cried. Kain heard the door open, but knew that Kaname didn't. Kain looked over at the door to see Aidou standing there staring. Kain just gave him a look that said, "Say one word and Kaname and I will kill you." Aidou just nodded and sat down in a chair and watched and listened as Kaname spilled his guts. He told them how he felt seeing all of his family die before his eyes and by his own hand, how heart-broken he feels now that Megumi doesn't feel the same as she did and things of the like.
When Kaname was calmed down, he looked at them both.
"You two are the only ones that have seen me cry. You say a word and you both are dead. Understood?" Kaname said. They both nodded. They left and smiled as they thought that Kaname wasn't an emotionless bastard. He had emotions, but he just kept them locked up.
Back in the classroom, Megumi couldn't help but feel guilty for what she had said to Kaname. She felt like she had just tore his heart in two. And that's probably what he felt. She groaned slightly and put her forehead on her arms. She was such and idiot! How could she have said that to him? In her defense, she was angry. But, that didn't mean anything! She shouldn't have said those things. She lifted her head and got a determined look on her face. She had decided.
After class, she was going to go and apologize to Kaname-sama.
Me: Wow! This was a great chapter! :D
Megumi: I hurt Kaname-sama... :'(
Me: Don't worry, Megumi. You'll say you're sorry in the next chapter. :)
Megumi: Ok...
Me: Well, I hope you all liked it! Please review! :D It helps! :D
