Vampire Hunter Girl
….Misery Business….
Yuki had me by the sleeve as she opened the door and pushed me into the room; her roommate was sitting there with a bizarre look on her face as Yuki closed the door behind us and pushed me towards her bed forcing me to sit. I was taller, slender and had a gun yet I let Yuki order me around, probably because Zero had told me to.
As we had left the headmasters dining area Zero whispered in my ear, "Yuki's eccentric, I want you to make me out as some American teen heart throb, you know the ones from those crappy teen dramas? Can you do that?" He asked his voice had slight desperation to it and I nodded with a smile. Zero was the first friend I had made in my stay here and I had promised to make Yuki jealous although I can't say I wasn't enjoying this fake relationship, Zero's a really great guy and really cute! Also this means Zero will be in my debt once he gets Yuki so he'll owe me a massive favour!
Just as Zero and Ichiru were about to leave he grabbed me and he gave me another surprise kiss, his arms where suddenly locked around my waist and his hands worming their way into the pockets at the back of my trousers, as soon as I registered what was happening I was pushing against him my hands on his shoulder pulling him close to me. I heard Ichiru mock gag as he started walking away, Yuki had obviously walked away to as I heard the signature opening creek of the door to the girl's dormitory.
Personally I think Zero enjoys kissing he's always so enthusiastic and has a thing for running his hands all over my body, he's either trying to make Yuki get on her hands and knees and beg for him or now that he's started kissing he's finding it hard to stop. He's not that bad a kisser and even though he's using me I hope it's the latter option.
Sitting in Yuki's room though was awkward, especially when she tried to explain to Yori why I was here. I overheard a few things and the main thing was 'She's dating Zero so we get all the girly gossip!' I tried not to sigh so I ended up making an odd snorting noise and looking like even more of an idiot than I felt. Yuki walked up to the cupboard that was built into the wall and pulled out some pillows and a duvet, she then pulled out a ground sheet and apologised for making me sleep on the floor.

After I had returned to my room to change into my PJ's Yuki and Yori had laid out my bed and both had colourful notebooks in their hands with sparkly pens, I had never pegged Yuki as the type to use the 'Sparkly Markers' from the convenient store in town. I crawled onto my bed which had been laid out perfectly right between their beds and started mentally preparing myself for the questions that would be invasive to my private life, but I did have Zero's permission to lie and go over the top. "Right…." I started and raised my head to look at the two of them "You guys have obviously writing questions while I was away." I rested my hands behind me to keep myself propped up saw Yuki open her mouth to shout a question at me.
"How did Zero ask you out?" they had both still got their pens at the ready imply that not only where they writing questions they were writing my answers down to. I had to make Zero look like some heart throb from one of those silly American teen dramas. I never watched them so I had no idea what to say. As I thought about what to say I could see them growing impatient and I knew I would have to say anything that came to mind. "Well it was before that incident between Me, Kaname and Aidou." I started and saw Yuki trying to calculate when it had happened. Yori hadn't started writing yet I knew that she knew I had more to tell. "I go swimming for six hours every weekend three on Saturday and three on Sunday, because I arrived on the Saturday I had to make up for it on the Sunday. Zero came in thinking that he saw something suspicious. "Apparently I'm the only one who ever uses the pool." I beamed and said in a jokey voice Yuki and Yori smiled and glanced at each other quickly before turning back to me. "we talked for a little while and then he helped me with my training, basically for the two hours that he was there we talked and talked and by the end of it well we had agreed part of dating was getting to know each other and poof a new relationship was formed." I smiled hoping that this would pass as a good answer and they both seemed satisfied as they scribbled down my answer.
I gulped; Yuki didn't seem jealous if anything she seemed happy, for me and Zero maybe? Yori was finished first and asked the next question she looked particularly eager to ask this one and I really hoped it wasn't about kissing him.
"Zero talks to you like all the time! Why?" She asked and I raised an eyebrow wasn't this one kind of simple.
"I'm his girlfriend?" I said slightly unsure of my answer and then Yuki butted in.
"Yea I'm was raised with him and he didn't even tell me you were going out!" She replied in her bubbly voice I kind of thought she was maybe a bit of a ditz.
"I grew up with my sister but I didn't tell her when I got my first boyfriend." I replied looking at her as if a brotherly sisterly relationship doesn't involve talking about every little part of your life.
"Yea but we were more along the lines of best friends growing up." Yuki added she had a bit of a sterner tone now, like she was willing to debate this, if I was thinking right now would be the perfect time to start making her jealous.
"Have you ever thought that Zero had a crush on you growing up and now after you starting to date Kaname he's given up on you? You saw how he treated Kaname at dinner, it was with pure hatred." I stated and Yuki paused you could see in her mind that she was calculating what I had just said in her head,
"But if that's what you think then Zero must just be using you to either make Yuki jealous or as someone to pick him up." Yori spoke up expectantly and Yuki and I both looked at her.
"I've thought about that as well but love happens at strange times and places, maybe Zero using me he'll learn to love me…?" I smiled softly while doing so and I turned to Yuki her face dropped in sadness and I almost felt sorry for her but I didn't because I knew I was doing all of this for her and Zero.
"That's adorable!" Yori smiled as she put her note book down. Yuki had raised her head again and looked less sad now so I smiled at her and then she looked like someone had just pressed the reboot button.
She inhaled deeply and then whispered very excitedly "You have to tell us how good a kisser he is!" she then put her hands up in the air and almost shouted "I mean when he kisses you it's like he's never going to let you go again and tough luck your glued to him." She was smiling but every time she said you or your she hissed a little bit and I knew I had achieved my part of my bargain with Zero, she was jealous she was all mine to play with now.
I flopped back into my make-do bed and put one hand on my forehead and the other on dramatically made a thump as it hit the floor. "Oh don't get me started." I sighed with a large grin on my face I was staring at the ceiling and not looking at them but I could feel Yuki shooting daggers at me.
"Please!" Yori's little voice spoke up and I bit my lips as if I was contemplating it but I already knew what I was going to say. I was going to tell her how absolutely amazing it was, that he's so passionate and sometimes his kisses are so hungry and rough.
I looked up them and knew I had a sparkle in my eye, it was encouraging them and they sat shaking, I opened my mouth and started to speak. "it's always so sudden, he just grabs me like he can't hold it in anymore, I'm always so surprised and his hands just roam where they want!" I squealed slightly and tried to act like a lovey dovey teen and from the looks on their faces it's appeared that I was pulling it off quite well.
"What's it like when you kiss him?" Yori spoke up and asked, I turned to look at her and shook my head. "Much gentler, sweeter I'm a bit shyer than he is." I scratched the back of my neck and yawned.
"Are you tired?" Yuki asked and I looked at her, she yawned to and Yori was wriggling around as well. I nodded my head and fiddled with the duvet that was on top of me. "We'll sleep then, I've got to start patrol in an hour anyway so it's probably best if I do." She sighed and snuggled down in to her bed, I did the same and then Yori switched of the lamp and curled up.
~3~
They were both asleep when I got up from my bed, I wasn't tired at all, I was wide awake and feeling really uneasy. I wanted something else to do, lying here hearing them breathe deeply was tormenting, I hadn't had many friends growing up and I had never been to a sleepover before. I slithered out of my bed and took Yuki's notebook, I wrote a quick note:
Dear Yuki,
I'm really sorry I left. But I have never really had any friends before and I felt so uncomfortable once you and Yori were asleep. Thank you for inviting me of course. It meant a lot that you are trying to be my friend, let's try this again okay? I'll question you about Kaname!
Good Night… Well technically morning…
Way-San.
After leaving the note for Yuki I scurried from the room, what I had written was true. Even though Yuki knew I was a vampire hunter and that I had some history of being lonely she still tried to make this work. I could see why Zero fancied her, she was cute and naïve, friendly and helpful and fun.
I opened the door to my room and felt a cold breeze. It was coming from the window and I pulled my knife from underneath my shorts. My room was still dark and I couldn't make out who it was that had climbed in through the window. The buzz from my laptop was loud and clear in the silent room. They were leaning over my desk and I silently crept up behind them, while they were bent over, I reached over them and placed my knife around their neck slowly forcing them to stand. "What are you doing and who are you?" I asked and put force on the knife to show I was serious. Their hands slowly rested upon my own and they had a familiar feel. "Zero?" I asked and pulled away I could see the outline now of silver hair but it was neat and tied back.
"Sorry Christina-San." I removed the knife and looked for the light switch, the person in my room was Ichiru and I was staring at him in shock. As I found the light switch I composed myself and pointed the knife directly at him.
"Ichiru? What are you doing here!?" I asked him and her turned to look at me as if it was obvious. I stood there facing him completely unsure of what was happening.
"Christina-San, I'm merely looking for evidence you're here because the association is forcing you to be here!" He explained to me and I looked at him with a confused look.
"Why would they be forcing me to go to school here when Yagari's already here!?" I asked and slid the knife back into its holder underneath my shorts. "My dad sent me here because after my mum and sister died I never made friends, skipped school and focused solely on becoming a hunter, he sent me here to get away from the life I had been living!" I shouted at him. The reason was completely true and unbeknown to me tears had started running down my face. "I'm finally making something of my life again, why do I need a motive to be with your brother!?" I asked him again wiping the tears from my face.
He looked shocked at me and stepped away from my desk unsure of what to do. He just stared at me as I turned towards the opening door. I saw clearly Zero standing there Yagari behind him. When they saw me standing crying they barged in, they couldn't see Ichiru as he looked at me, all the eyes were on me and I didn't know what to say or do. I sat down on my bed feeling unstable and suddenly Zero's face was in front of mine. "Ichiru what did you do to her!?" He demanded as he wiped away my tears searching my face for some answers.
"I apologise Christina-San." He whispered as Yagari pushed him out my room muttering about how he should know better about being in the girl's dormitory.
Zero carried on staring at me and I rested my head into the palm of his hand. The past few hours had been so weird, a family dinner with a group of people I barely knew, then my first ever failed sleepover, and now this Ichiru rummaging around my room. Zero's violets eyes were searching mine, and I wasn't sure what to say.
"What was he doing here Christina?" He asked and I looked up at him. I had gotten so used to him calling me Chrissie it felt odd hearing him say my actual name. I was almost sad at the fact to.
"He was searching through my things, trying to find evidence that I was sent here by the association to keep an eye on you." I sighed and pulled my face from his palm so I can stand up. I shrugged off my shorts leaving me in a vest top and my underwear. "I'm going to take a shower. I guess I'm lucky to have the only room with an on suite bathroom." I tried to joke as I walked towards the door.
I heard Zero stand up but I didn't turn to look at him. "I guess I should get back to patrol." And that was all he said before he left, I heard my door shut just before the shower started running and I knew I was alone. Was this what the headmaster thought two? Surely the other Vampire's knew about me now to. Yagari would know to, did they all think I was here because the association wanted me to be? I really was here to be educated but I guess no one believed me.
~3~
As I climbed out of the shower I realised I hadn't closed my window and my room was officially freezing. I closed it with a thud and dried myself off shivering after words. I put on warm jammies and crawled into bed, I still couldn't sleep. I wonder if Zero thinks I'm here because the association sent me, it would kill me if he did, he was my first true friend here at Cross academy. As I lay in bed I hear voices walking down the corridor.
'Ichiru was in her room looking through her things?' The voice was soft and innocent and slightly angry and I smiled remember that Yuki was probably joining Zero on his patrol now.
'I am so pissed at him!' The second voice was angry and harsh, it was husky to and I knew it was Zero's. It made me smile to know he was angry that his brother had done this to me.
'Just because she's a hunter he's going to treat her differently!' Yuki sounded so shocked and I smiled again hearing this.
'She's my girlfriend, it doesn't matter what he thinks! I trust her!' Zero snapped accidently at Yuki, 'Sorry,' he sighed and Yuki quickly reassured him that she didn't mind before he carried on. 'I'm not the easiest person to get along with you know yet, she's good to me. I wish people thought more highly of her.' Zero sighed and their voices started getting quieter.
The last thing I heard was Yuki saying:
'I'm glad I have a friend like Way-San.'
I cried at hearing this. I wanted to run out and thank her, I never knew arriving at Cross academy could make me feel so happy. I had friends like Zero and Yuki. I had two friends. Yori was nice to me to and she was happy enough to sleep in her room so I suppose Yori's my friend as well. I closed my eyes and smiled and then just like that managed to fall into a deep sleep.
~3~
Two weeks had passed since the incident with Ichiru and he hadn't spoken to me or Zero, there had been some drama in the Night Class and basically the headmaster had asked me to keep an eye on his children, i.e. Yuki and Zero and I was very happy to do so. Every lunch I would sit with Yuki and Zero, Yori to and we would talk about the homework we had been given and the detentions Yuki got. I finally felt like I fitted in and I knew that Mum was smiling and joking around up there with my sister. I emailed my dad often and he seemed to be getting used to life without me and he had started going home and taking days off to go mounting climbing like he had always dreamed.
I had received a letter from my grandmother, apparently she was surprised to hear from her own son, she was worried something bad had happened to us after my mum and sister died, she thought we had just disappeared and asked for me to come and visit her the next school holiday. Everything was falling into place for me. I was truly happy now.
The bell rang and Zero and I gathered up our revision stuff, we had physics next and if we were honest I was crap at it. Zero had been trying to explain things to me for ages and it just wouldn't sink in. "Sorry I'm such a terrible student Zero!" I laughed as we did the usual entrance into class, Zero opening the door for me and then he followed behind me as we took our seats, smiling the whole time.
"You're not a horrible student; you're just really bad at physics." He laughed and laid out his things on the bench we shared. As he opened his book a picture fell from his pocket, I recognised it as one of the ones the headmaster had taken I still carried mine around of the two of us, I had forgotten to ask Zero which one had had nicked.
He hadn't noticed and swiped it up and stared at it, it was one of us, the ones where my eyes where as wide as saucers because he had just started kissing me. I was in slight shock that I was this one he had stolen; I thought it was one of him and Ichiru, or maybe a group photo, but I had never expected to see this one. I gasped a little and that's when Zero noticed he'd dropped the photo. "Zero!?" I exclaimed and turned to look at him. "You carry this around?" I murmured and felt myself smiling, even though I was shocked I was happy.
He reached over and snatched it out of my hands but I kept on smiling, He looked at me with a slight glare. "Don't smile like that; it's all part of the act!" He hissed as quietly as he could, I felt my heartstrings play a hurt song but I carried on smiling.
"Shouldn't a good girlfriend be happy when she finds her boyfriend carrying around a picture of them?" I asked with my right eye brow raised, he looked down at me a slightly nodded his head, "Well then." I replied sharply and rummaged around my bag for a pencil, my cheeks where flushed and I was a little hurt, I carried around our picture because it reminded me of our friendship, I mean I know it's of us kissing but it's still a fond memory, the two of us putting together a fake relationship to fool people. But Zero only took his for the act, and that made me feel bad.
Realising I had found a pencil a few minutes ago I sat up and started scribbling in the corner of my jotter, as always our teacher was late. Some people were saying that he was ill and so it was a free period but we knew better, we would get a cover teacher, since Yagari's addition to the staff here, according to Zero and Yuki, they hadn't been given an extra free period.
"Hey, are you mad?" I turned to Zero who was looking semi-concerned. I wasn't necessarily mad, just upset maybe. I shook my head and smiled at him, he would get the wrong idea if I said I was upset he wasn't carrying around a photo of us kissing because he wanted to.
I went back to doodling little black squiggles in the corner; they were like dark spirits, all twisted and wavy, if I had to imagine a black soul that's what I would imagine them to look like. Out of the blue, Zero placed his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him and his free hand cupped the side of my face to force me to look at him. I was staring at him with my eyes wide and he stared at me, practically back to glaring. "Tell me what's wrong." He demanded and I shook my head, I was too embarrassed it sounded silly, I wasn't going to. "Come on Chrissie," He urged and squeezed me tighter, "I won't laugh." He smiled and took his hand away from my face and dropped it to his side.
"Oh yes you will! And you'll get totally the wrong Idea!" I murmured and put my hands up to my face to hide my crimson cheeks. I heard him chuckle and then felt his fingertips on my side, "No! Ahh!" I laughed and squirmed as he started tickling me. He was holding me in place and tickling my sides and behind my neck, I was powerless to fight back.
"Are you saying I'll laugh like this?" he laughed himself and I started to fall back on the bench, I was turning and twisting trying to get away, I think we both forgot there were other people in the room with us. This was something that tended to happen on the way to the pool, I would get surprised attacked and we would practically wrestle to the pool.
In the midst of the loud chatter from all the other student and mine and Zero's laughing, the door opened. The class went quiet and Zero stopped tickling me, every pupil felt the presence of the man who had just entered the room. We looked down at him and sat up straight as he stared directly at us. "Kiryu, Way, to the Headmasters office, after you change, you're going to town." Yagari shouted up to us and he walked from the room with the same presence he had entered with.
All the other pupils looked at us, we sighed and packed up our things, "What could we be wanted for?" I asked Zero and he looked at me with a straight face.
"Something to do with Vampires."
