I don't own Vampire Knight

Home sweet, home

Now that we have Zero, Yuki is focused on him like my dog when he sees new people. Okay maybe that's not a good analogy of her, but I had to pull her off of him before he starts snapping. I mean I'm pretty sure he needs a bit of space, his whole family were recently killed by a pureblood. He has to grieve at some point, right? Or maybe everyone has a different way of dealing with loss. I don't know, I think I'm over thinking this. I sipped my coffee as I read the newspaper. The headmaster referred me as having an old soul which he wasn't far off.

"Drinking too much coffee is going to stop your growth" The headmaster said as he pour himself some tea.

"It's worth it" I muttered thinking that coffee is the only thing that keeps me sane anymore. As I started to munch on my toast, Zero came out of his room.

"Why are you always up so early? There's no school today." He said as he sat across from me. I'm sort of surprised how much Zero talks to me. He doesn't spill his guts to me, but it's astonishing that he actually says few words.

"It's been a force of habit" I said. My mom always woke up early to work and came home late. She owned a restaurant that she closes and opens. Early in the morning is the only mother and daughter time we had.

I went back to reading the newspaper mostly reading the popular celebrity. So far the celebrity in this world isn't as crazy than my world. Then again most celebrities in this world are vampires...so maybe the crazies aren't that bad. Glancing at the next page, I found an article of some family. It was a sad tragic of some psycho path breaking into their home. When I thought it couldn't have anything to do with me. I found my name on the paper being adopted and rescued by the headmaster. Akira's home is in town. Noticing from the black and white picture, it wasn't far from here either.

"Hey, Headmaster, do you think I can go into town by myself" I asked as sweetly as I can. I'm sure that in some time in the manga, Yuki was allowed to go into town by herself.

"I don't know..." the headmaster hesitated.

"Its early in the day, and I won't be long" I promised. Zero tensed a bit. I'm guessing he's wondering why I'll go out at all.

"Okay, but don't be long-

"Can I come too Akira" Yuki said with her big brown eyes pleading. Of all the days you wake up late, you choose today to wake up early!

"Sure" I said but in reality, but wishing she would just stay.

"I'll come too" Zero said getting up to grab his coat.

"Great" I tried to smile. Why the heck does Zero want to come? He's going to make this trip much harder.

~XXX~

The city was a bit crowded for it to be early in the morning. Yuki was eager to go shopping as for me, I was hoping to ditch them. I dont think I can go to Akira's house with out seeming suspicious.

"So what did you want to come into town for Akira" Yuki asked holding a few bags.

"I was hoping to find some books to read" I lied gazing everywhere for the house.

"Couldn't you just go to the schools library instead of going out to town" Zero said already growing uncertain of me. Give me a break, Zero! Was he always this detailed about things in the manga.

"Yeah but I didn't find anything I like" I said wanting to get off this topic. After walking for a couple of minutes, we found the library. However there was another store that Yuki wanted to see about three stores away.

"You can go to the library Akira, I'll be over there" she pointed to a market that was selling homemade scarfs or something.

"Are you sure, you don't want us to come" If anything happened to Yuki on my watch, I can see my death being slow and painful from Kaname. Sure it seems like he's cool with me, but anything were to happen to his precious Yuki...I don't even want to think of the consequences.

"I'll be fine" She said but by then was racing off. I looked over to my side to still find Zero next to me. He's so quiet that I often forget he tagged along.

"Don't you want to go with her" I questioned since in the manga he was always worried about her.

"Why are you really here?" Zero said getting straight to the point.

"What do you-" He didn't even give me a chance to finish when he pulled out a piece of the newspaper I was reading. He must of grabbed it before we left.

"Your expression said it all but... how can you not remember where your own house is at, if its this close" He questioned.

"I don't remember most things that happened. I thought visiting my home would help me remember" I answered.

"Clearly, we passed your house a few blocks down, I was waiting for you to do something." He said giving me a dumb stare. I was tempted to reply something smart but from behind Zero I saw Kaname among the crowd of people. Zero isn't suppose to meet him yet! I instantly grabbed his shoulders forcing him to the direction that wasn't where Kaname was at.

"Well, lead the way buddy" I said pushing him faster.

"Wait what about Yuki?!"

"The house shouldn't be that far, just show me where its at and you can go back to her. And besides I already saw a friend of the headmaster walking with her. I'm pretty sure he's not going to let anything bad happen to her" I said hoping to ease his worry

"Whose the headmaster friend?" He said persisting to ask so many questions. Why does he intend to make things so difficult for me.

"You'll meet him soon enough, and do you honestly think the headmaster would have let us go into town without someone watching us" I said hoping to end all his suspicious. He thought about it for a second and finally accepted my lie.

"Fine but quit pushing me. It's annoying" He said coldly forcing my hands off his shoulder.

~XXX~

The house didn't look exactly like the photo in the newspaper. There were lots of weeds and spray paint on the wooden fence. In fact the house looked so worn out, a small breeze could probably tumble it down. I slowly made my way into the front porch with Zero following behind.

I HATE THIS PLACE! a sudden voice screamed in my head.

My head instantly pounded as if someone threw a larger boulder at my forehead. Are these Akira's memories? I can see shimmers of a girl sitting on lawn crying. She quickly disappeared as I continued to walk up the steps to the door. The door was badly painted with most of paint peeling off.

"Home sweet home" I said bitterly as I pushed the door open. Inside the house wasn't as bad as the front lawn. The living room seemed pretty ordinary except there weren't any photos of Akira except of a man and woman. They looked sane people but what kind of parents don't have a picture of their own daughter.

There was a stair case next to the door which I assume is where Akira's room was. The steps creaked loudly each time we took a step. When we arrived at the second floor, there were two doors. I expected one of them to be the parents room and the other Akiras. Zero opened the door on the left which we found to be the parents and as I opened the other door there was a simple mattress. Why do I have feeling I'm going to find something worse of Akiras life then her being taken by vampires.

As I took the first step inside the room a load creaking noise from the floor board squeaked. I pressed my foot against it again. Something is under it. I lifted the floor board easily and threw it to the other side. A black composition book and a pencil were kept hidden. This must be her diary.

Opening the book, I found that she had way prettier handwriting than I did. I flipped through pages and saw that most of the pages are blank. I decided to read the last thing she wrote before she was taken away.

Dear diary,
Something is weird about Jun and Tatsu. They have been arguing about money for weeks now. They sold all my stuff just for us to get by. I'm glad to help but with all my stuff what else is there to sell beside my mattress...

Dear, diary you don't think they would...no they wouldn't. Nevermind diary. I'll write to you tomorrow, Jun and Tatsu said special person is coming today to help us with our money problem.

"Akira, are you okay" Zero said softly. I didn't realize he was holding my hand nor did I realize tears were slowing streaming down my face. Those bastards! They sold her! What kind of human being would sell their own daughter!

I wiped my tears with my sleeve. "I'm fine. Let's go home"

As we went down the stairs, a deep anger was boiling inside. When we got to the door, a picture of the happily married couple was hanging on the wall.

"Akira..."

I didn't even feel myself pick up the frame. Once I had it clenched in my hands, I threw it as hard as I can across the living room. It smashed loudly against the TV cracking the screen. I wanted to break more things. No, I wanted to burn this house down. In the corner of my eye, Zero's face was filled with confusion. Chill May, whatever happened to Akira is over. I'm in her body for whatever how long. The least I can do is keeping living on her life as she would have wanted. I bet she didn't even have the chance to be a kid again. I shook my head trying to get rid of the negative thoughts for at least a moment.

"Okay. Now we can go" I said my voice feeling monotone.

Okay , the next chapter wont be probably this weekended depending on any inspiration left. Review, don't be ghost readers :)
