Yuuki, Zero and I serperated and took different patrol routes. I was a little nervous about tonight. I hope Ichijou was right. I really just wanted to chill. I was outside the night class's classroom. Tonight was as silent as the dead. It was creepy, but I didn't let it get to me. I looked in the windows and saw Kaname reading a book. He was such a kind guy. Maybe all those rumors about the night class weren't so overrated. I wasn't going to end up like one of those stalker girls, though I bet Aido would love that. I don't think the two of us were going to get along well.
I walked along the balcony, my mind drifting into space. I thought back to my failed attempt to talk to Zero. For such a handsome guy, he kept to him self way too much. I really want to get to know the guy, but he shuts me out. It's really nerve-racking. It drives me nuts. I shook my head. Why was I worrying about him? I should be focused on what I'm doing. I jumped down from the balcony, and continued my patrol.
There wasn't any trouble the whole night. I felt kind of let down. I wanted a little action. It didn't seem like there was any danger at Cross Academy. Was there really any need for prefects? I started to walk back towards my dorm. I had no clue where Zero and Yuuki. That's why I was surprised to see Zero sitting by a fountain on my way back. His back was turned from me, so I didn't think he knew I was there. I sat down next to him and Zero didn't even flinch.
"If this place is dangerous, I don't think I'm going to the white house anytime soon." I said. I tried to make it a joke, but I couldn't really think of any really safe places. The whit house was safe, right? I mean there's security everywhere.
"There's more going on here then you think." Zero said. I looked over at him. He was staring at the sky. It really was beautiful out here. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. The stars shined brighter than biggest diamond.
"It's hard to believe this place is more than just fan girls and pretty boys." I laughed. That's really all this place had, other than textbooks.
"It's way more." Zero sighed. He slowly got up and started to walk away.
"You don't need to shut me out, you know." I said before he could leave. I really did want to get to know Zero. It just felt like he was locking himself away from the world. Did he really have so much to hide?
"I'm not someone you want to be around. I'm probably the most dangerous one here." Zero stopped. He didn't turn around; he just looked at the ground.
"The most dangerous one here? You have to be kidding me. I think those smug vampires are a little more dangerous then you, Zero. I might come off a little bitchy, but I'm really not like that." I started to walk towards him. I wanted to talk to his face, not his back. Unfortunately, my oh-so-graceful walk was interupted by a little rock that clipped the edge of my foot. I fell to the ground and scraped my knee. There was a little blood, but it wasn't gushing.
I stood up to see Zero standing completely still. His hands were in fist and didn't look like he was breathing. What was wrong?
"Zero, are you ok?" I asked. I started to walk towards him again.
"Stay away from me!" He yelled. Zero started to run. I tried to follow him, but it was no use. He was way too fast for me, and my new injury didn't help. I ran out of breath and had to stop. What was that all about? I fall and he runs away. Jeez, does he really hate me that much? I heard footsteps behind me and turned abruptly, almost falling over again. Someone caught me just before I hit the ground. I turned to see Kain holding me up. My heart stopped, but Kain wasn't the one I was worried about. Aido was slowly approaching me, fangs protruding from his mouth, and that same devilish smile on his face.
