I DON'T OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT
In class, I didn't talk to him, I even didn't bother to look at him.
I even asked Ichijou to seat right in between us. It's hard when you're in a fight with the closest person you have inside the academy…
"Class Dismiss" I heard Yagari-sensei's voice echoing through the room. When he closed the door, uproar suddenly burst inside the room.
All students were talking so loud, shouting, going around the classroom.
I stood up and was ready to take my leave when…
"Toya! Are you coming with us?" I turned around only to see Megan.
"Where are you going?" I asked curiously.
"We'll be going down town, we'll shop and eat, of course I'm with my loyal servants" that word really hurt my ear.
Servants? What the hell is coming out of her mouth? And how rude calling them loyal servants? I'm sure by hearing this, Aidou and Kain would be pissed.
"Loyal servants? How flattering" my eyes widened to hear Aidou talk.
"So, you're not hurt, calling you a servant?"
"Why would I? It's a compliment from the princess"
"So sweet!" Megan added.
What is going on here? They are so head over heels for this girl…. Good thing Shiki isn't like them.
"Aren't we going? It's getting late" I heard Shiki's voice that slapped me back to reality.
"Oh, sorry. It almost ran out of my mind. Toya, see you later" then they walk out the room.
I can't understand, why Shiki too. In no reason, I feel scared and nervous about this. I know that Kain and Aidou were head over heels with Megan, but why would Shiki join them.
They left me in the room, completely glued on my spot. Why do I feel so down? Never in my life, I felt this pain.
A lot of questions in my mind. Do Shiki like Megan too? Like everyone else, they don't care if they were addressed as servants. And about the day Shiki and I fought, well you could say it's not apparently a fight, but I'm sure he's angry. But why?
As the water was about to roll down my eyes, a warm hand touches mine. I looked at whom this hand belong to.
"Ichijou?" I thought I was completely alone in that room. I didn't notice him until now.
"Vampires should be strong, not a simple problem could make them cry. That's why we are more superior to others" he said while wiping my tears away.
I was moved by him, not by the fact that he wiped my tears, but that he actually meant that I shouldn't cry. Saying those words just to make me stop.
He smiled playfully, like Shiki. Hey! Why did I suddenly remember that big jerk?
"Who told you I'm crying?" I played tough, but the truth is that I'm so weak.
"What is your problem, Rima?" his voice turned serious, I could tell.
"What problem?"
"I know you have, is it about Shiki and Megan?" my eyes suddenly widened. I don't want to hear anything anymore about those two.
"I appreciate the kindness, arigato" I told him finally taking my leave.
It was almost afternoon when they came back from down town. I was with Ruka, hearing her every complaints about the new student, Megan.
"That girl is a flirt" she said.
"Why? Did she do something to you?" I asked as I lifted my cup and sip tea through my mouth.
"Ever since the day she transferred, he didn't pay any attention to me" she looked serious.
"What? Kaname-sama? I know he's not interested on her so don't get worried" I convinced her, but still she didn't smile.
"It's not him the one I'm pertaining to… It's Kain"
In a second I shocked, maybe surprised. Because everyone knows Ruka like Kaname and don't pay any attention to Kain. But why all of a sudden?
"You like Kain?" I joyfully asked.
Thinking that Kain like Ruka, and Ruka like him back. I was thinking it's a match made in heaven. I feel like I want to be a match maker than to do nothing at all.
"So? Then tell him, he likes you too" I said.
"That was then, now he likes Megan" the time I heard her name, my mood suddenly changed.
"Are you feeling okay?" Ruka asked very concerned about me. Because all of a sudden I stood up and looked spaced out.
"Excuse me, but I fell sleepy" I lied.
"Okay then, sleep well" She stood up and walked towards to the other staircase.
I felt my head turning and spinning, and so painful. I held it and tried to walk. But I'm seeing things as blurry, I was about to take a step when suddenly I lost my balance. All I know is that I fell on a soft and warm object. Then I fell unconscious.
I opened my eyes slowly. The light coming from the bulb harmed my eyes. Then after a second try, I finally opened it wide. To only find Megan staring at me.
"Thank God your finally awake" she said.
Somehow I feel irritated, its because of this girl that I'm like this.
"what happened?" I asked.
"I feel kind of jealous" she said as she sat down on the end of the bed.
"Why?" I asked.
She brushed her fingers through her silky, shining and thin hair then smiled at me.
"Because you and Shiki had known each other way way back. And it's also hard to catch up, yah know?" she replied cheerfully but, I myself could notice the cold aura inside the room.
"What do you mean?" I'm completely lost.
She doesn't tell things out straight to the point. And what about Shiki and my past got to do with this? What does she mean by catch up?
"Touya! You're so slow" she giggled then went to her own bed. As I watched her lie down, my mind is drowning with so many questions, at the same time it feel so heavy.
Sensing that Megan grew quiet, I lied down on my own bed when…
"Touya…" a familiar voice called me.
I recognized that voice, and its Megan's. I don't want to speak up, or even ask why. So I waited and listened very attentively.
"He brought you here, I mean Shiki brought you here" she said with a sadden tone.
Shiki brought me here? I mean, how? I could walk, I'm not a leaper.
"You fainted…" I thought for a second there, she actually can tell what I am thinking. I want to speak up, I opened my mouth but nothing escaped from it. My head telling me to sleep or else I'll be sick the second time.
"Someday, I'll catch up…" she said then after, snorted, giving me a sign that she's already fallen deep in her sleep.
Was that a threat? A warning? What was that?
During class I sit beside Seiren, and Shiki on his permanent seat. I made deals with Megan and Yagari-sensei to move me far away from Shiki. So I exchanged with Megan, now she's sitting there beside my Shiki.
"The chairman really gave me so many headaches for this assignment, so pay attention. I don't want somebody asking me to repeat for the second time" Sensei said with his face down. With a voice like he's saying he doesn't want any part of this but was forced to.
The other students couldn't care less; they stared each other then started whispering at each other.
"What is he talking about?" Seiren, sitting beside me asked as she crossed her arms.
"Dunno"
-Cough-
Sensei got everyone's attention by just one cough.
"Chairman wanted a bond between every single student of night class and day class. So he proposed a day for an excursion" he paused.
Upon hearing this, everyone grew louder. It's not by the fact that there will be an excursion, But by the fact that it will happen with the day class students. In my opinion, it's very dangerous; the main point of having day and night classes was to separate normal beings from us. What was he thinking?
"Where?" Aidou asked aloud, pretty much, he's the only one inside the room to appear happy.
"Hokkaido" Sensei answered with a sigh under his breath.
"A field trip in Hokkaido? How stupid is that? They should have chosen more appealing. Sociable and presentable place to take us" Ruka, who was sitting beside Kain spoke up.
"Don't forget, those day class students will go along. Maybe that's why it's not out of the country. Because it's such a hindrance for both the school and us" with all poise, Megan reasoned out.
Looking at her made me recall what she had said the last night. She's really different from me; I'm quiet and acted like I don't even care about this. But she reasoned out what she think is right and fight for it.
"Guys, chill… Don't be mean. Just think of this as a wonderful and fun experience" Aidou smirked, behind which hid a very evil and obvious look.
"Oh please! Fun? With them? I can't even stand looking at them" Megan said.
"I have no problem with it unlike you judging people without knowing them" Aidou threw a glance back at Megan.
Megan seemed pretty pissed and stabbed at the back, with the things Aidou throwing at her.
"Haven't you forgotten? You're a vampire. Who knows behind that humble face you're planning of something?" She criticized him, making him jump right out his seat and shout.
"Say what!!"
This two confuses me, on Megan's first week they grew comfortable with each other. What's with this sudden commotion?
"LQ?" I heard Seiren speak.
"What LQ?" I asked with a whisper.
"You don't know what LQ means?"
I just nodded.
"Well, it means love quarrel. A fight between lovers, couples" Seiren explained.
Is this little fight with Shiki a LQ? Fight between lovers?
"Finish this cat fight outside, will you? Trying to give a lesson here" Sensei interrupted and made both Aidou and Megan's mouths stop.
Sensei cleared his throat, and then looked at us strangely.
"Your dorm leader will have to explain all about that later, since this issue is taking too much of my time" he said while placing the book he was holding in front his face, covering it entirely.
"Let's settle this matter right now" Ichijou proudly stated.
"What is this about? Some kind of sick joke?" Shiki questioned Kaname-sama as his lips touched the lid of the tea cup.
"Obviously, the chairman and I thought about bringing up equality and bond between both the night class and day class" Kaname-sama replied with all grace and etiquette.
"But who know something might happen out of control?" Megan complained.
"The prefects will be there so no need to worry, and in any case a vampire would disobey the rules of the school. He/she will have to be kicked out immediately" Ichijou answered the question that was supposed to be kaname-sama's.
"If that's what Kaname-sama said, so be it" Ruka talked with her chin up. It made me think that she still wants attention from Kaname-sama even if Kain is there.
"I have no objections as well" Megan surrendered.
Aidou gave her a teasing look which eventually pissed her out.
"so how about the three of you?" Aidou asked pertaining to the three quiet listeners, Kain, Shiki and me.
"I don't care" Kain bluntly said.
"No problem" Shiki said.
"No problem" I bowed my head down.
"Well this matter is settled, please go to sleep now" Kaname-sama ordered.
A pureblood has so much power over normal vampires, that everything they say is right. And everything they want to say will be followed.
It felt like my body is moving on its own.
Next thing I now, I'm inside my room.
"Huh? What was that?" I asked myself.
"What's what?" Megan entered the room.
"Nothing… weird" I murmured as I walk right pass her.
"Where are you going?" she asked me when I was half way out the door.
"To catch fresh air"
This thing happening made me forget all about Shiki. And thank God that made me calmer and focused than before. I don't even care about him at all. My usual mixed up feelings were gone.
Strong wind passed as I walk closer to a playground. This is the old and dirty playground Kaname-sama, Aidou, Kain, Ruka, Shiki and I used to play. Used to. But we forgot all about it. As we grow its nothing but a dirty, ugly and old place.
But going here brings back memories.
"Shiki…"
I sit in an empty seat in the swing, pushing my body to swing the seat. But it was so hard for the fact that the metal chains are rustled. Knowing that it might fall anytime, I still hesitated on playing with it.
-Squeak-
I heard metals squeaking, all I did is closed my eyes. And wait to open it and find myself in a hospital. But…
"Are you stupid? Trying to be killed?" a familiar voice waked me from my fantasies.
"Shiki?"
