Blood Candy 2- First Night

"Are the Day Class students always this loud?"

"Of course."

"Onee-sama? You're actually going to come to class?"

"No. I figured it would be polite to wear this. I have to get Maru's uniform from Kaien. I don't like this. I don't like wearing white."

"It's not solid white." I frown.

"I like the Day Class uniforms better. Nice and black."

"And then you'd be able to blend in with the night."

"That's the point of wearing black, of course. Though I prefer my kimono."

"Let's just go." I nod and Kaname offers his arm. I laugh and take his offer. The gate to the dorm opens and the noise gets louder.

"Stay back please!"

"Good morning girls! You're all so lively and cute today!"

"Is Aido always like that?"

"Yes." I sigh and notice that there are girls glaring at me.

"Who's she?"

"A transfer?"

"And she's already got herself all twined with Kuran." I roll my eyes and notice that Yuki is in trouble. She falls forward and I drop my arm, letting Kaname help her up.

"Are you alright, Yuki?" I walk over and smile at Yuki.

"Hello again, Yuki-chan."

"Kaname-sempai! Hanami-sempai!" She straightens up before bowing. "I'm fine! Thank you very much!" I smirk and wave.

"I'm going ahead. See you!" I hurry ahead of the class.

"Who is she?"

"I seriously think she's a transfer." I roll my eyes and get to the school building quickly, heading straight for Kaien's office.

"Ohayo!"

"Good morning…"

"You have Maru's uniform? She was looking forward to attending classes tonight."

"Right. Here you go." I take the uniform from Kaien. "You're chipper tonight."

"You think so?" I shrug and leave the room, heading back to the dorm. Looks like the crowd of girls has dispersed.

"Maru-chan! I got your uniform!"

"Hana-sama, are you okay?"

"I'm perfectly fine! Thanks to you. Come on! You don't want to miss class!"

"What about you, Hana-sama?" Maru gets behind the screen in our room and changes into her uniform.

"Of course I'm going as well. I don't want to make a fuss on our first night here. I have no intentions of attending after this though. Except for a night or so occasionally. You know how I am."

"Yes, I do." We leave the dorm and go to the classroom that Kaname is in. I hurry to sit beside Kaname.

"I'm surprised you're present. What happened to not needing classes?"

"Well, I can't quite go about roaming the campus watching Zero-kun, now can I?"

"You're right. You can't."

"At least Maru is able to study. Her studies were interrupted before."

"Ah, I forgot about that." I ignore the rest of the lectures and leave first when the teachers leave. I get out to the hall and stretch, looking around. I wonder where Zero-kun is. I shake my head and run down the hall. I get outside and look around.

I really don't want to go back to the dorm just yet. I want to see Zero-kun. I sniff the air and nod. "Found you." I hurry into the trees towards Zero's scent and find him patrolling.

I wonder how it will end up. He's the last Kiryu. He has to be the one. No. I knew that when I first saw him. When he and his brother Ichiru were born. I knew it all this time. That Zero is the one that is supposed to kill me.

'At the hands of your lover.' That damned prophet.

"If classes have been dismissed, you should get back to the dorm, Kuran."

"So cruel." I come out of hiding.

"What was with you last night when you came?"

"Huh? Oh…right. I was friends with your parents. I'm not surprised that you didn't recognize me though. So whatever. I'll see you around, Prefect." I hurry to the dorm and sigh.

"Everything alright, Hana-sama?" I start and stare at Maru.

"Yes, everything's fine, Maru. Did you need something?"

"Oh. Kaname-sama is looking for you." I nod.

"Thank you, Maru-chan." I head to Kaname's room and close the door behind me. "What do you want?"

"So, how's your future killer?"

"Don't talk about Zero-kun like that."

"It's the truth. If that prophecy has any merit, and according to you and the records, all of the predictions and prophecies of that man came true." I glare at Kaname.

"If you know that, then you wouldn't have made a point to tell me that he was here. You knew I would come if he was here and alive. If you were worried about the prophecy, you would have let me continue believing that Zero-kun was dead."

"Are you that eager to meet your death, Onee-sama?"

"It's not that."

"Then what is it? Why did you come, knowing that Kiryu is the one to kill you?"

"Kaname-kun…" I stare at the ground. "Think about this. How would you react, if you thought that Yuki was dead, and you found out suddenly that she was still alive? It's about the same situation."

"Except that Yuki isn't going to kill me."

"How do you know that? Are you afraid that she'll hate you if she remembers? Then why do you persist in pursuing her? I noticed it earlier. Whether you're afraid of her remembering, you want her to remember. Because then you can be with her. If she recovers her memories and vampire blood, you two can be happy, like Hahaue and Chichiue."

"So you want him to kill you? Is that it?" I nod.

"If it means that I can love, and be loved, before my death, it will be worth it." I notice my reflection in the window and gasp.

"What?" I point at the window.

"My reflection…she was laughing…" Kaname looks at the mirror.

"I only see the two of us. It's just a reflection, Onee-sama." I shake my head.

"She's still…"

"Onee-sama, I really don't see it. Are you okay?" I nod.

"I'm fine." The seal…it must have worn off. "Kaname-kun, I'm tired. I'll see you later." I hurry out of the room and to my room. I go to the bathroom and stare at the reflection in the mirror.

'I thought I saw you notice me. Finally! The seal is gone. I was getting tired of following all of your movements. Isn't it wonderful that you're the only one able to see me moving?' I frown.

"I don't care if you move around. Just don't talk to me." the reflection frowns and stops spinning, looking at me.

'You're mean. Fine. As long as you don't seal me up again, I'll keep quiet. Though most girls would kill to have her reflection talk to her.' I roll my eyes.

"That's called Vanity and I want no part of it. Hold still for a minute so I can see what I'm doing to my hair." She sticks out her tongue, but stops moving around. I pull my hair down and set the pins on the counter.

'Why do you always wear your hair like that? It's boring to keep the same style all the time.'

"I thought I told you not to talk to me."

'Right, sorry.' I sigh and start brushing out my hair.

"Hana-sama, are you in here?"

"Yes, Maru-chan. I'm in the bathroom, getting ready for bed."

"Oh. Okay." I braid my hair and go into the room. Maru heads into the bathroom and starts a bath for herself. I change into my nightclothes and decide to start unpacking. Since I didn't get to last night when I got here.
