Chapter 2. Yori's Questions
WARNING: Spoilers for Chapters 30 onwards (i think)
Setting: Yuuki has just woken Yori up and now she wants to know everything about vampires and what its like for Yuuki, her being one and all.
Thank-you to anyone who has reviewed. And I am sorry if I make lots of grammar mistakes, and i am very sorry but i am very bad with tenses so i may occasionally change them by accident in the chapters, i hope it doesn't confuse you too much. My english teachers keep pointing it out to me and even though I am english i am still terrible at it, lol.

Yuuki walks over to her bed and sits down on it, she realizes that there is one more week left at school and then it is the Christmas holidays for a month, she can't wait, peace and quiet at last, and the chairman and Zero, (her prefect co-worker, friend and step brother) are going on a 'trip'. Since Yuuki isn't supposed to know that Zero is a vampire, they make up cover stories for the places they go to in the holidays to help zero from turning into a level E a lot slower than normal. This was because he was bitten by a pureblood vampire years ago.
The first day he had arrived at cross academy, she knew he had been bitten and was turning into a vampire but very slowly, Yuuki had been able to sense it in him and had had to put on her façade. She realized that she would have to keep it up all the time now because Zero was a young Vampire Hunter and he was the last person Yuuki could let know that she was a Vampire. To keep her secret was becoming a great effort for Yuuki but she gradually got used to it and it became he normal routine.
Luckily for her the chairman and zero would leave during most of the holidays, so would all of the day class, the night class and even the housekeeping. So when she was alone she could be the real Yuuki.
Yuuki stayed in the chairman's private living quarters whilst she was alone in the academy, and she was always encouraged to practice her martial arts and athletics, which she had learned during her childhood whilst they were away in case of any vampire attacks.
She was very much alone during the holidays, except on Christmas day, the chairman would come back and throw a big party, Yori would be invited and it was mostly vampire nobles who attended because Kaname wouldn't miss it for the world, although Yuuki couldn't think why.
As Yuuki lay on her bed staring at the ceiling all she could think of at that moment in time was how she couldn't wait for her Christmas holidays to come.
Suddenly Yuuki snapped out of her daze as her alarm clock went off, she quickly turned it off and decided since it was 6am, she should wake Yori up. A grin spread over Yuukis face as she thought of an evil but fun way to wake her best friend.

"It's Monday, it is 3 days till my birthday, I am going to be 16, can you believe it Yori, I can't wait!" Yuuki screamed as she pretended she had woken up early in excitement, instead of her nightmare waking her again.
Yori just replied tiredly to her hyperactive friend. "Yes Yuuki, I can't believe it either, you certainly don't act your age, you're like a crazy kid, laughed Yori."
Yuuki laughed as well, and then decided to pout like a princess to show she wasn't at all pleased, but they both just ended up bursting into a fit of giggles at the look on each other's faces. Yori's was one of genuine shock and surprise and Yuukis was in her famous stubborn princess look.
As Yori looked at her alarm clock she realised the time, "and I cant believe you would wake me up at 6am just to tell me that, I could have had a good twenty minutes more sleep, oh well, now that I am up, will you stop dancing round the room and listen to me for a minute please, Yuuki."
Yuuki stopped her little victory party dance and sat down on the edge of her bed, she was already ready and Yori decided to ask Yuuki some questions about her Vampirism when she was ready too.
"So what is it Yori?" Asked Yuuki
Yori replied in a serious tone, "well, when you told me about you being a vampire this weekend, I have thought of some questions about your Vampirism, so now we are both up can we talk about it?"
"Ok that's fine with me," Yuuki replies
"Let me get my shower and get ready first then we can talk without having to rush around last minute getting ready."
"Fine Yori, I will wait here for you."
Twenty minutes later, Yori came out of the bathroom from having a wash, fully dressed and ready for school.
"Ok, I am ready" Yori said.
Yuuki sat up on her bed, from which she had been previously lying down on, reading an English book. Yuuki enjoyed reading books in other languages, since she could speak and understand many of them, but this was yet another secret that has to be kept between Yori and herself, as Yuuki couldn't seem smart or else it would draw suspicion and attention to herself. Yori sat down across from her on her own bed and prepared to ask Yuki the questions.
"I know you told me about the Night Class and your past and all about how you are a Vampire and shockingly Kaname-sempai's sister, but I would like to know a few more things. Firstly, how do you stop yourself from needing blood, since you are a vampire?"
"I am very smart Yori, I have studied the makings of the blood tablets used for the Night Class and have created my own which are designed for my own unique tastes. Unfortunately sometimes the tablets aren't enough to quench my thirst for blood."
"Then what do you do about it?" Yori asks, a little scared of the answer.
"Yori I am ashamed of what I have done, I hope you don't think less of me, but sometimes I go down to the villages surrounding the academy and find someone alone and in a secluded place or someone who is sick and dying but wants to live. Then, well..., then I drink some of their blood, just enough to make them pass out but not enough to kill them. Unfortunately even taking a small amount of their blood will turn them into a vampire since i am a pureblood. I hate to steal peoples lives but it is all i can do to quench my thirst. After i have bitten them i make them drink my blood too, so that they can become a level D vampire, if i didn't do this then they would become dangerous and quickly descend into a level E."
"I only do it once or twice a month, no one has really noticed because I can erase their memories if they see anything; it is very unlikely i will ever get caught. Once i have finished i hand them over to my most loyal servants, they are the ones in charge of my small vampire army, which is devoted entirely to me. There are currently around two-hundred of them, who loyally serve me. The ones who are my army leaders are the vampires that i created first and have survived, i trained them how to act human so that they can live among people normally and i showed them that they should use blood tablets instead of feeding from humans. Since they have never tasted human blood, they don't know what they are missing so its not a problem for them."
"Also, once a new vampire is created i have to make sure that they dont just dissapear and draw suspicion, so i get them to tell anyone they know that they are leaving and have found a new life elsewhere. The other thing that i require my vampires to do is live in small groups for safety against anyone who may wish to harm them. They live almost like families in numerous towns a few miles away, this is also so that they are close to me incase anything happens. Also as i told you about Vampire hunters earlier Yori, they will of course not know about most of my vampires since i have turned so many."
"Unfortunately drinking human blood is all I can do to keep the beast within me from becoming free all the time. It seems to settle it for a while when i am drinking blood. It is a constant struggle inside myself for control, and i have to live with having to steal peoples lives, but if it is how i can keep this monster at bay then i will do it. The vampire within me wants to be in control so that it can kill, but i must not let it get out, because compared to what it can do, the amount of lives i have taken doesn't seem very much."
"But Yori i need you to understand that I would never drink any of your blood, I promise, you are my friend and I would never harm you. I hope after what i have told you, you will still want to be my friend, and please don't be frightened of me."
"Wow, Yuuki, I had no idea that it was so hard for you, and don't worry I wont judge you, I know the real Yuuki and she would never hurt anyone. We are best friends aren't we, so why would i be scared of you" Yori ends with a smile to assure Yuuki.
"Really, Yori I am so lucky to have you as a friend."
The best friends hug each other for a few moments then Yori begins to speak again.
"But Yuuki there is the thing about the blood tablets that I just don't understand, I am sorry, its just hard to believe you are smart, how can you do so badly in school and need so much help in algebra if you really are this smart."
"Well I have always hidden it from everyone, I am a genius, but I don't like to brag and I don't want it to draw any unnecessary attention to myself, so I act and play dumb in front of everyone."
"Wow that must take a lot of patience and work Yuuki."
Yuuki smiles and says to Yori, "It does, so what's your next question then?"
"Oh yes, sorry, my third question is, Do you have any powers? I mean you said something about erasing people's memories. Also since you are a pureblood after all you must have some sort of power, and I already know that other vampires of noble status have powers. Like you told me about Aidou-sempai being able to conjure ice and manipulate it, and Kain-sempai has power over fire and Shiki-sempai has the ability to control blood."
"Yes I do have powers Yori, but I have always kept them hidden from people and locked away inside myself unless I need to use them in emergencies, I have had to learn to control my emotions since they are very sensitive and control my powers. But I suppose if you want I can tell you about them and then show you a bit. But it will have to be on a small scale, otherwise it would alert the night class to me. So what do you think to that?"
"Oh, well, yes please Yuuki, that would be very interesting to me, thank you."
Yuuki relaxes into a more comfortable position and begins to tell Yori about her powers. "Well, I have certain vampire abilities and special powers, so I will start with my abilities. I can tamper with people's memories, so as to make them forget about vampires if they ever see one. I can run exceedingly fast, faster than any other ordinary vampire, I can see very well during the night, I can see very far and I can hear very well and for a great distance. I can sense when other vampires are near, sensing is one of my more advanced abilities, as a pureblood I can sense a lot better than any other vampire can, I also have the ability to heal extremely quickly, I can also heal others quickly too using my touch or breath, I can jump very high and I, as a pureblood can turn humans into vampires. But the last ability I dislike using, i wouldn't if i could control it, but if i bite someone then they will become a vampire since as a pureblood i have been given the responsibility of this power, which i think is quite unfair."
"Ok, but cant you, erm, fly, like all the vampires in movies?" Yori asks hesitantly
Yuuki laughs and replies, "no, that's a popular misconception; vampires can't fly and cannot turn into bats either, although I think that would be cool don't you."
"Oh, ok, yes I think it would be amazing" Yori replied whilst grinning, "you can continue now."
"All right, well firstly I have to admit that I don't know what Kaname's powers are, but as he is a pureblood himself he must have some amazing ones, I must remember to find out. Ok, so onto my special powers, like some of the nobles, as a pureblood I have special powers, I actually have quite a few, unlike most vampires with powers who only have one."
"I have five powers in total. So my first power is; if I get too emotional about something then I trigger my power to shatter and break things with my mind, so for example, I can smash glass, break concrete and cut trees in half by just a thought."
"My second power is the ability to conjure fire and control it, this is a little like Kain's power, but mine is a lot stronger than his, this power is often referred to as being pyrokenetic, I think."
"My third power is telekinesis, I can move things with my mind."
"And my fourth power is the ability to read peoples minds, so I am also a telepath."
"Now then, my fifth power is my most dangerous of all, I can use my imagination to conjure up anything I want, so by using this power I control the elements and if I am in a fight and am loosing; which is highly unlikely to happen, then I can easily conjure up a sword for defense."
Yuuki finishes speaking and looks over at Yori to see her reaction; Yori is just sat on her bed with her mouth slightly open and staring blankly at Yuuki. A second later after Yuuki has waved a hand in front of Yori's eyes and asked her if she is all right, she snaps out of it.
"Sorry about that Yuuki, Yori exclaims with a blush on her cheeks, I was lost In thought about everything you had told me, its all so amazing. Do you think that you could show me a few of these things?"
"Hmm, ok Yori but we will have to be quick because we have to set off walking to class in five minutes. Also i will only be able to show you a tiny part of my powers otherwise it may alert the night class that I am a pureblood. That is what will happen if I don't keep my powers under control and my emotions stable." Not waiting for Yori to reply, Yuuki stands up in front of her best friend and shows off a bit of her powers, firstly she picks up a glass and breaks it whilst it is in the palm of her hand using her mind.
Yori sees the glass suddenly shatter under a great force that she cannot see and notices that Yuuki is bleeding a little, but then she realizes that Yuuki can heal herself anyway, so she calms down.
Yuuki then uses her telekinesis to remove all the glass shards, wrap them up in tissue paper and then put them in the bin, then she uses her healing power to heal her hand. Yuuki decides that she will show Yori a bit of her pyrokinetic power next, she conjures up a small flame and manipulates it into different shapes, first a horse galloping , then a rose blooming and finally she extinguishes the fire in the palm of her hand.
Yori stares in awe at Yuuki's hand and immediately worries that Yuuki will have burnt herself, but when she opens her hand there is no wound.
Yuuki sees the puzzled look on her friends face and explains that when she conjures the fire and put it out, it can't harm her since it is under her control.
Suddenly Yori looks around to see that Yuuki is standing by the door already, "wow, your fast, oh, is it already time to go then", Yori exclaims with a sad look on her face. "Well, what about your other powers?" Yori encourages. Yuuki smiles and telepathically tells her that she will show them to her when the time is right.
Yori is amazed that Yuuki can project her own thoughts into her head and immediately says, "it's fine Yuuki and thanks for sharing your private information with me and showing me some of your unique talents, you are truly amazing."
Yori then dashes after Yuuki, grabbing her bag on the way out and fastening up her blazer buttons as she closes the door behind her. They then head to class; they still had twenty minutes until class begins so they walked at a steady pace, so as to ensure that they wouldn't arrive late. Whilst they were walking they talked about all sorts of things, like the winter holidays coming up and Yuukis birthday, but Yori didn't once bring vampirism up because she knew it wasn't safe to talk about it in the open.

Finally i have finished editing this chapter, the first time it deleted it all, which left me screaming at my computer, But at last i have updated it, to a hopefully, good standard. :D
Sorry if I don't update often by the way, I am very ill right now, and even the hospital has no clue what's wrong with me, so i have to wait another five weeks to have some more tests done, funn. Also since i am too ill to go to school right now i am really behind on my work. Its my last year so i really have to keep up with my annoying coursework, its soo boring, i wish writing a fanfic was an english essay, anyway I usually have more time at the weekend so there will be one chapter out at the weekend and maybe one during the week, depending on how much coursework i have to do.
Thank-you everyone who reviews.
I would also like to say thank-you to my friend who is my beta reader for this story : GirlOfDeath
