Yuuki POV
"YUUKI! OH, Kaname- sama is going to be so angry at me." I almost lose it and start to laugh from my spot in the tree where Rima and I are watching Aidou look for me.
"Shush, Yuuki!" Rima whispers. I roll my eyes at her and then whisper, "Ok, so on three we are going to tell him we are up here. One, two, three! HEY AIDOU!"
Rima and I then laugh uncontrollably as Aidou starts to spin around like a puppy chasing its tail. Then, I hear Rima and Aidou scream. It takes me a second to realize that they are screaming because I fell out of the tree and am now plummeting like 50 feet towards the hard ground. When I finally reach the ground I scream and then black out.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. What is that annoying sound? I think starting to come back to my senses where am I? I start to hear other noises, seven voices, all in low mumbles. I slowly open my eyes to see seven people all looking at me with concern. Well, four are looking at me with concern. Ruka and Aidou are fighting and Akatski is trying to break them apart. "Yuuki! Are you ok?" says Kaname, averting everyone's attention to me. "Ummm… Where am I?" I ask, feeling like an idiot. "You're at the hospital," says Rima, concern in her usually bored eyes "You fell out of a tree and broke your wrist." I start to remember what happened and feel myself begin to blush with embarrassment.
"Oh," is the best reply I can think of.
"The doctor said you could go home as soon as you woke up, as long as you were careful," said a very cheery Ichijou. As if on cue, the doctor came in, checked me out, then gave the ok for me to leave. Zero helps me get out of the bed and we all leave in the limo, which is waiting for us outside.
When we get back to Cross, Rima, Ruka and I all go up to my dorm and do homework. When we are about to finish ethics homework, my brother walks in and says he needs to talk to me. I give both girls a worried look before following my brother to his dorm, which is twice as big as mine and he has no roommate.
He leads me to his bed before sitting down next to me. "Yuuki," he starts, "I am going to be taking a leave of absence from school for a few months." He stops and waits for my reaction.
"Why?" I ask, now getting really worried. "Ichiou from the council has started to give our sister problems, so Mom and Dad have asked me to go talk to him because they are busy."
I calculate the information slowly. "Ok, when are you leaving?" I ask, not knowing how much his answer will hurt. "Tomorrow," he replies simply. Those are the words that ring through my head as I walk back to my dorm.
Why so soon? I was afraid this would happen, but why now? I feel like my whole family has left me!
I hadn't realized I started crying until I opened the door to my dorm and walked in. Ruka has left but Rima is there and she immediately hugs me and asks what happened.
"Kaname is leaving, I- I don't know what to do!" I wail. Rima immediately tries to comfort me, and she succeeds. After she has me calmed down, we began to talk.
"Hey!" she says, "Can I sign your cast?" I had almost completely forgotten about the hot pink cast on my arm.
"Sure!" I reply, and take out a silver Sharpie. After she signs it, we both begin to draw doodles all over it. "We'd better go to bed," I say, looking at the clock.
"Yeah, because I sure want to be awake at ethics tomorrow!" Rima replies while rolling her eyes. I stick my tongue out at her before turning the lights off and falling asleep.
Rima's POV
Good Night! Class is sooo boring today! I don't understand why we have to learn about the vampire pyramid, which we all know by heart!
Instead of paying attention to the teacher, I was passing notes with Shiki and Yuuki.
Why does Yuuki look like she has been crying? asked Shiki.
Because Kaname left today and he won't be back for like seven months! He was the closest family member she had because her parents and sister are in France at the moment.
After Shiki read the note, Aidou snatched it out of his hands. God! He is so annoying! I thought as I watched him pass it to Ruka, then Ichijou, then Akatski.
By the time class was over, word had gotten around to everyone who was close to Yuuki. Aidou, Ruka, Akatski, and Ichijou started planning on how they were going to make sure Yuuki wasn't alone for the holidays. It didn't take long considering we all spend every holiday together anyways. By the time Yuuki and I got to our room, we were exuasted and welcomed the comfort of our beds with open arms.
