Hope everything is enjoyable so far.
They really are beautiful vampires, more so than normal. I understand their passion and love for modelling, yet...when the are told that is all they are good for, and work is poured on them to the point not even vampiric stamina can keep them healthy from the lack of rest. We have a problem.
Zero Kiryu was not a happy camper. He was forced into uniform and prefect badge to escort the two modelling vampires to a daylight photoshoot. He had to keep an eye on them apparently. Like the two models needed any help. He had gotten to the school gates, and immediately noticed something was up with Yuki talking to the two models. She seemed to be cruelly speaking, if her body language was anything. The brunette was telling Shiki and Rima they were useless sloths only kept around because of their good looks and successful modelling careers. Kiryu split up the conversation, saying they had a schedule to keep.
He ushered the two vampires into the car, he himself took his motorcycle, a sleek black and silver bike with lavender accents. he two vampires admired the prefect as he skillfully kept his motorized bike upright and moving. They noticed the slight tensing of his muscles and the slight dip of the bike as it turned and changed lanes, they knew that the motion of going forwards kept him upright. But it was still different to see in action. As they got to the building the shoot was taking place in, Kiryu turned to the two vampires to give a run down of their day, since they hadn't known the full extent of their day.
"It is to my understanding that you don't know your whole day, so I am to tell you now before we enter the building. Luckily you are ahead of schedule, so I can explain and you can ask questions. First, you have the latest gothic clothes to model for the upcoming spring line, then you have a cosplay spread to do to promote an anime called Bleach? After that you have a half hour break, and then another shoot for the latest Spring gowns and high society fashions. Then you have lunch break. After lunch you have a final shoot promoting kimonos for the spring festivals coming up. After that we will return to the school, or get food for you two. I can bet media coverage will be here, be prepared to deal with their annoyance. I'll keep most of it off of you and the set to allow for efficient work." The silverette told the two.
That is when he fully looked at them and noticed their already troubled and tired looks turn into resigned and exhausted looks. Those were quickly covered up. He let them go inside, then went into the nearest convenience store for pocky and drinks. He ave the two vampires their snack as they came out of hair and makeup, and were waiting for the shoot to start. They gratefully finished off the snacks quickly, good thing he hadn't given everything to them at once, it probably would have been devoured.
He kept press off the two vampires, not even letting them talk to camera men. He saw the men and women on the set look relieved. As the half hour break came upon the tired looking vampires he gave them another snack and let them take a nap. He used a spell to put them to sleep quickly. Holding those poses must be very tiring after all. The spread for high end society clothing came. The two vampires had to hold dance-like poses. The two looked sore half way into the surprisingly many fashions. Kiryu was asked to help with the shoot, and before he had a chance to answer was doing errands as quickly as possible. He noticed a lot of looks being sent his way as he kept press out of the building and did errands practically effortlessly. A phone call was made to Cross Academy to ask if Kiryu could participate, even if the silverette hadn't been asked or given consent. Cross was happy to let the Council and association know, as well as the night class, not to be surprised if Kiryu came back grouchy with some make up on, and his pictures in a fashion spread in a few days.
Kiryu was asked to model. To make things go faster. The silverette agreed once shiki and Rima begged, in all of one minute. The vampires had asked for help, it just so helped that the handsome young teen was right there for the picking. A few suits, a few spanish and french styled shirts and pants, and some very rural looking yet elegant clothes, and the shoot was finished ten minutes early.
Lunch break was quick, and the spring festival kimonos were up. They'd only take about an hour or two. Kiryu was not happy. For some reason he was put in the most noticeable kimono. His hair was pulled back, white makeup highlighting his eyes and some glitter on his slightly exposed collar bone. He was in white silk, long billowing folds that fluttered as if he was in water. Purple and silver beads and tassels were decorating the pale lavender obi, and silver decorated sandals on his feet. A silver hairpin was in his hair, and a white fan with a lotus in lavender on it was put in his hand. White tassel and silver beads dangling from it, which he held properly in his hand. He felt as if he was in a traditional hunter festival, which he took part in every year on October 31, the day of the dead. Rima was in a simple light orange tinted silk, a beautiful head piece with orange flowers on it and a matching fan, accents done in a lovely red. Shiki was in a kimono similar to his, but in blood red. Prussian blue accents and no fan, but instead a sword prop that looked very real. His hair was combed and slicked back slightly, yet looked kind of messy.
The set was like a traditional Japanese household, kiryu felt as if the set was trying to portray royalty when relaxing. The silks really were light and comfortable, yet warm enough for the chill of spring.
The stylists insisted they take the kimonos they wore, and a few other fashions, as they left. He spelled the vampires to sleep and made them as comfortable and safe as possible in the car before the group drove back to the school. The two woke up on the couch with Kiryu's jackets draped over them, his biking and his school blazer. They were warm and felt soothed by the lingering scent of roses and lavender. The two vampires found a note saying they were welcome to come over whenever they wished, and that they needed to eat properly. The two were practically feathers.
Ruka and Aido found them staring at the jackets, and immediately recognized the smell off the pieces of clothing. The other vampires filtered in as the four shared a smile, the four hid them though as Yuki came in and became confused at the pleseantly foriegn smell. Yuki left to have some tea before classes. "Who's scent is that, Hanabusa?" Kain asked, his confusion clear though he showed some recognition.
"I'm surprised you don't recognize it, Akatsuki. We do pass by him every day." Ruka mentioned.
"Kiryu? Wow, I never smelled him because I thought..." Akatsuki trailed off.
"That he would smell like decay, or at the very least fresh dirt, because he is exhuman?" Takuma finished, the ashamed vampire nodded.
"White roses, a scent I associate with death. The sickly sweet smell, Kiryu-kun's days are sadly quite numbered. Merely because his body will not be able to handle him practically starving it but keeping the lust for blood in him under careful lock and key. Sadly blood tablets make him violently ill, it is horrible to see him in the exhausted pained state after he forced down blood pills for the day class. I wish to look for a remedy for Level D, and maybe some E, vampires." Kaname sighed, the group of close vampires took in the smell.
Yes. Kiryu was sick, and the teen knew it to.
But the four vampires he helped were determined to extend that lifespan.
