Chapter 3
I have felt fear before but for once in my life, fear is taking over my body as I felt numb… I could feel someone followed behind me. Ichijo Takuma. I could feel his emotions. But, still… the sight in front of me… The Level E stood there, staring at the deer giving birth. I bit my lip. I…. I turned and looked at Takuma-san. He too, looked uncertain at the situation.
" What….. should we do?" I asked him and he looked at me. I knew exactly what he was thinking. How? It's simple, it's written all over his face. " You want to deal with the Level E? But I don't know how to… deliver a… what's the baby deer called?" He ignored my question.
" It's the only way. Be careful and try not to get in my way." Takuma said before charging at the vampire. I ran to the deer. She stopped giving birth due to the fear of that vampire. I have to coo it. Somehow… " Err, hi there? How are you doing?" I really feel like slapping myself with my strange ways. I bit my lip. Ok, how should I ….? Oh, I know! I placed my hand in the deer's head. I stroked her head, trying to make her relax…
" It's nothing, err, nameless deer… You can do it. The vampire is gone…" After an hour of doing my best to deliver the … baby of a deer, it worked out. Warning, if you try to deliver a baby deer, refrain from calling the mother deer, nameless deer… She still had enough strength to kick me for some reason. I could feel a presence behind me as I watched the newborn. " I did it, Takuma-san. You were right. I could do it. I would so love to hug you now but my hands are a little bloody."
" That's ok." He smiled at me. A question suddenly popped up in my head. " A question. Are you not affected by animal's blood?" He chuckled at... my question, I hope. " No, we're not affected by animal's blood. I think it is perhaps unappetizing."
" Right… So, we should head back?"
" I agree with that. Good job with the deer. Actually, I've been meaning to ask you something-" " Akina-chan!! What happened to you?!" Yuuki shouted, concern evident in her eyes. I smiled at her. " The most weirdest thing happened but I'll tell you later. So, um, what did you wish to ask me about, Takuma-san?"
" Err, it could wait another time, I guess." He seemed embarrassed to me… Hmm, I wonder… that seems like a good idea… " Yuuki-chan! We have to see the Headmaster, now!" Without awaiting her reply, I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me. By the time we reached the headmaster office, I was stared at by everyone. Well, imagine walking the whole school with blood on your hands.
I knocked on the door and immediately entered the room. We discussed our plans the whole time. After that, I walked out there with a grin. I have never felt so…. Free. Emotions are something that doesn't restrain you… no, it frees you in ways you can't imagine and yet… there is this feeling I don't understand… I feel this when… when I'm near Takuma-san.
What is this feeling? I decided to ask Yuuki. I turned and face her with a serious expression.
" Yuuki-chan… Can I ask you something?" She looked confused before nodding her head. " What is this… feeling? The feeling you get when you are around a certain someone… You feel the urge to… protect them forever. That you aren't good enough for them and don't deserve them but even so, they care about you so much. The feeling when you feel the need to do everything in your power to help them and… for them to be happy always."
Yuuki smiled sadly. I could feel her sadness. " I think…. I think that is love. I've always felt that way for Kaname-senpai but now…. I feel that same feeling for Zero… I don't know what to do but….. I'll do my best to protect them both because… this feeling you feel, this love is what motivates us do things."
I nodded in acknowledgement. I think I get it. " Thank you, Yuuki. I'll be leaving now." I walked out before stopping entirely. I forgot I left my notebook in the Headmaster's Office. I turned back before hearing something. I could vaguely hear the words… " Akina" Isn't that my name? Wait, it is… " I'm sorry… the truth… is going to come out sooner… the truth of…" My eyes widened. The truth of what?! What is it? I feel like barging in and questioning him but I decided against it… I can't. I'm not supposed to be eavesdropping. I turned and left quickly.
To tell you the truth, almost everyone has a roommate but I on the other hand, don't have one. I got ready for bed and lay down on it… The feelings I feel for Takuma-san is….. love? Why? I've only known him for… three days maybe? I… I'm sleepy. Just as that line came out, I plunge into a world of darkness.
However, it wasn't dark for so long…… I saw a strange scene… like a laboratory. I saw a strange flask… no, it's not just strange… it's huge… a strange, huge flask.. But what scared me even more was the girl trapped inside there. She seems unconscious. I saw people moving around… The fluid, the liquid in the flask, ok it's not a flask, it's a tank. I give up, I never was good with identifying objects. Anyway, the liquid, it has a strange glow and the people kept poking needles at the girl… The girl is about 2 years old?
" Is it done? Is this going to be the best weapon we have against vampires?" A man asked. He looked oddly familiar….
" It is our best. I don't think it would have work at first but now… it is the best we have." Another man answered.
" She." The first man corrected. The second guy looked confused. " She is the best we have. She is not an it." The first man clarified. He seemed to care for the girl and yet… why did he perform this on her? It is… monstrosity…
With a glare at them, I bit my lip as the scene changed. But it seemed different…. I see… a young girl… that young girl looked like…. No, it is me! Then, I grew older… I see a blonde haired vampire… He offered his hand to me with a smile. I felt myself smile back and my mouth opened up to say three words… These three simple words that made me realise…
" I love you…" The me in the dream said to the blonde haired vampire that I now recognise as Ichijo Takuma… Maybe…. I mean, it's just an infatuation, perhaps… I can't… The scene changed again. This time, I see an angry look on Takuma-san's face… Then he began to walk towards danger. I saw myself try to move but… couldn't. I could hear myself screaming at him to come back but he wouldn't. Then… a vampire attacked and he… evaporated. Tears, I could feel tears flowing down as I tried to scream… a soundless scream.
Then, I awoke. I looked around. I don't care… how did I become an emotionless person to an emotional person in just… what? Three days? Takuma-san really did change me and for that… I am thankful because I think the person I wish to see now is him. I got up and for some strange reason, I tasted salt. I touched my face. I was… crying? I wore my uniform. I'm late for prefect duty! I dashed out and to my surprise, I found Ichijo Takuma, the one person I wanted to see… Should I…..?
I bit my lip. I'm sure you noticed it is my worst habit. Anyway, I walked forward and he turned just at the same time. I gave him a small smile and he smiled back but stopped to frown when he saw my tears. " What happened, Akina-chan?"
" It's nothing… Just a nightmare…" Now that I think about it, the first scene…that laboratory… it seems… familiar… and that man… Just who is he? I sat down and he too sat next to me. I smiled at him. " So, what you wanted to ask me last time?"
" Oh, I was wondering if-"
" There you are, Akina-chan!" Yuuki said. " I've been looking everywhere for you. I thought what happened to you. I'm glad you're safe, Akina-chan." I blinked before smiling at her. " Yuuki-chan, well, I'm glad you're safe as well. So, um, what did you want to ask me again, Takuma-san?"
" Err, nothing. It's nothing. Don't mind me."
" Oh, ok. So, umm, I'll see you around. Stay safe, Takuma-kun." I left quickly while dragging Yuuki.
The next day however, was the biggest surprise anyone was not exactly up for. A suggestion made by yours truly, me. Remember I wanted to talk to the Headmaster. Well, I did want to have some fun every once in a while but… this is overdoing it, don't you think?
Standing in front of me is one of the biggest, complicated and not easily won death trap. Why I wanted this? For fun. Another thing is…
This is for the anniversary of the school. I didn't have to convince the headmaster. He agreed wholeheartedly.
What is it, you asked? You'll find out real soon….
But I'll give you a clue… I WANT ICHIJO TAKUMA AS MY PARTNER!!!!
