Later that night, Kizuki watched as Hana got ready for the dance. She wore a pretty silk blue V-neck dress that reached to her knees in a flowing way. Kizuki looked down at her clothing; she still wore her uniform without the jacket, her converse thrown on the floor.
While applying makeup, Hana looked at her through the mirror. "Why don't you come? You could wear one of those pretty dresses you bought. The brown one would bring out your hair and eyes, but the white one makes your pale skin glow even more."
Kizuki looked up at her. "No thanks, I just want to relax, anyway, I don't like dances."
"Well, if you change your mind, I'd suggest the white dress." Hana said before leaving for the dance. Kizuki simply changed into some normal clothing, a tight dark blue off-the-shoulder shirt and black army shorts. She had planned some great anime movies.
Death Note movies, Inu Yasha 1 through 4, every Naruto, Final Fantasy, and last but not least, Linda Linda Linda, with her favorite Japanese actor, Kenichi Matsuyama, who played L in Death Note.
"What should I do L, oh great Detective of Death Note?" Kizuki looked at her poster of Anime L. Of course, she heard no reply.
Groaning, she put in the first Death Note movie. Halfway into the movie, there was a knock on the door. Opening the door, Kizuki was surprised to see Zero.
"Z-Zero, why are you here?" she asked, confused.
"I had to get away from that stupid dance. You're lucky you didn't go." Zero said, walking into the room and sitting on one of the seats.
"Well, I would have gone, but…" Kizuki stopped herself.
"But what?" Zero turned to her.
"Um, I didn't go because I can't dance. I have two left feet." Kizuki admitted. Zero gave her an emotionless look.
"That's why you didn't go, hell, who knew that would stop you." Zero sighed and looked at the paused movie. "Watching Death Note again?"
Kizuki nodded. She thought for a moment. "You do know your going to have to go back there sometime right?"
"Unfortunately, yes I know that." Zero sighed.
"Well, why don't I go with you, that way you don't die of boredom?" Kizuki suggested.
"You'll regret saying that you know." Zero looked over his shoulder at her.
"It's okay, I love crashing a party." Kizuki said from her closet. A few minutes later, she walked out in a white sleeveless dress that reached to the end of her knees, with designs of lace petals over the dress fabric. Accessorized with the dress were white sandals that tied in X's around her legs up to above her ankles, topped off with a black wristband on each wrist, black stone bracelets on each wrist, and a black onyx choker. Hair still the same, she looked perfect.
"…Wow." Was all Zero said.
"Well, let's go crash a dance." Kizuki smiled, grabbed Zero's hand, and pulled him out the door.
~Later~
"Kizu! You came!" Hana hugged Kizuki. "And you obviously took my advice did you—"
Hana stopped cold when she saw Kizuki and Zero. "Wait, did Zero come to get you?" Hana grinned.
"No! I chose to come because he was bored." Kizuki said.
"Did you see Yuki? She's dancing with Kaname!" Hana smiled and pointed at the balcony.
'I have an odd feeling about Kaname.' Kizuki thought before smiling and continuing conversation with Hana.
"Hey, why don't you two dance? I mean, Zero is bored." Hana said, pushing Kizuki toward Zero and running.
"Uh…" Was all that Kizuki said before hesitantly and slowly the two began dancing.
Kizuki carefully took steps, trying not to trip. "This is much harder than it looks." Kizuki laughed nervously, looking back at Kaname and Yuki.
"You notice it too?" Zero asked.
"I can see he loves her, and Yuki the same, but I have a feeling that Kaname…" Kizuki didn't continue.
"That's the way Kuran is." Zero explained.
"I know…" she muttered before watching the others around her. Shiki and Rima were together, Aido was talking with Hana and flirting with girls, Takuma is trying to make a dancing circle, Ruka had been glaring at Yuki and Kaname, Kain beside her, and Seiren nearby to make sure Kaname was safe.
"I just feel odd letting Yuki near him." Kizuki finally said.
"I know how you feel." Zero replied, glaring at Kuran.
"He's always acting too nice and innocent." Kizuki said, almost tripping. "Hey, your not that bad, Kiryu."
"You too, Fumiko." Zero replied.
Finally, the song stopped. After dancing with Hana, Kizuki went out into the garden path. Suddenly the sound of gunshots was faintly heard.
Being the wary one she is, Kizuki followed the noise. When the noise of a tree branch breaking caught her attention, she turned to see a shadow.
"Reveal yourself." Kizuki said. She knew it was a vampire, but she had no chance against it with only martial arts.
"Well, you caught me. You smelled quite delicious, I couldn't resist following." The man grinned, another right beside him.
"What are you doing here? You have no reason to be here this late at night." Kizuki said, trying to distract them.
"Oh yes, we do." The second one grinned, and raced toward Kizuki, fangs fully elongated and ready to attack.
Readying her timing and observing, Kizuki unleashed a powerful and structured kick to him in the face, bringing on a punch soon after.
This time, the vampire threw his claws to Kizuki's cheek, allowing her to knee him in the stomach. It had luckily forced the vampire unconscious, but the other was even quicker.
Kizuki took the chance to run, but the vampire only grabbed her from behind and held onto her neck.
The vampire pushed her head to the side, causing Kizuki to growl under her breath.
The vampire took his sharp nail to her neck and punctured her skin, red liquid oozing out.
Just as he bared his fangs to bite her, a gunshot was heard again, but closer.
Kizuki fell to her knees from the loss of hold on her.
Shaken, Kizuki turned to the vampire who lay on the ground, and kicked its head. It didn't react.
Looking up, she saw Zero. The scratch on her cheek seemed small, but was deep. The injury on her neck was still bleeding.
Zero began to walk toward her, while Kizuki stared into space.
"Are you okay?" Zero asked. Kizuki nodded.
"I knew there were vampires here, but I didn't think…" she mumbled. She then noticed her vision blurring, until it soon became black.
