Four

Headmaster taps the cage I am so locked in. For that, blame Kaname for hearing Richard's screams of agony as I searched for horns. Really now, I never thought I would see the day where people would hate on a scientist. Kaname sits in front of the Headmaster's desk, staring at my cage with a frown. "Already having to be locked up…" he whispers. "…Maybe putting Julia in the Day Class was not the best option."

"YOU THINK?!" I screech. They both flinch. "Why did you even put her there?!"

Headmaster smiles and pats the cage, ignoring my venomous glare. "Well you see, her family has a lot of ties to the human community. She needs to learn how to cooperate with humans so that she doesn't struggle in her later years."

I kick the bars making him jump back out of surprise. "Make her suffer, see if I care!" I snap. "She is pissing me off to the extreme and it's only chapter four!" They stare at me like I'm a case of nuts. "DON'T QUESTION MY INSANITY!"

Kaname glares and stands up, eyes flashing red. "If you hate it so much, why don't you just go home?!" he roars.

"Kaname!" Headmaster shouts. "Don't! I know Ann is difficult and hard to handle-"

"Gee thanks," I intervene.

"-But she is like a daughter to me none of the less!" My jaw drops. "She hasn't killed any of us yet, so until she does, there is no reason to tell her those things!"

Now it's Headmaster's turn to receive the stare of insanity. "…She drugged a horse in her first year," Kaname states. "She nearly de-balled Hanabusa, raided the Night Class cabin during that one trip, just now nearly gave Miss Isaya a concussion-"-Oh boo-hoo-"-sawed her brother's head open-"-IT WAS FOR SCIENCE!-"-and was electrocuting trees yesterday. That, and plenty more! How can you call her even a person after doing that?" Oh, okay, ignore MY feelings you heartless butt-munch.

Headmaster sighs and picks up some letters, dropping them into my little box of 'confinement'. Honestly, I'm just bored and not breaking out. So, as those two bicker, I check my fan-mail. See? I'M PRODUCTIVE, WORLD!

Ann-

Since u can't seem to kill stuck up pureblood lady by yourself I was forced to call in help...

-_- so in precily an hour after you read this letter some if my fire demons will appear in your room... They are to follow your commands yada yada yada kill stuck up lady yada yada yada not in the mood to threaten cause I'm Barily containing myself from ripping of your head yada yada yada... Just kill the stuck up lady...

Your approaching death and overly angered frienmey,

-kurosei alure shadow blaze

(And yes that is my insane annoying long name)

WHAT?!

NONONO!

Okay, I did NOTHING to Kaname last time! Cross my non-existent heart and hope to not die! WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?! Headmaster and Kaname become somewhat alarmed when I start bawling my eyes out due to Kurosei's constant stream of death threats. In the package I get a blade sharpener (which I eat) and a blood sample (which Kaname takes because he is a bi-I should keep my mouth shut this time, shouldn't I?). Next is from Night, and hopefully this isn't a death threat.

Dear Queen Ann-sama,

I am respectably sorry for not sending you a letter earlier and must say I do not think that sleeping with a saw is a very good idea... But meh, anyway... I do wonder where those adorable murder princesses are, I mean really? Where could Angel and Demon be? It just is sad they are missing, and you should really try and make up with Kurosei, no matter what. For she, like me and Demon and the others that recognize you as Queen, has a very powerful position at the moment (Whether the stupid government accepts them or not, muahahahaha!). Anyway, it is lovely hearing that you are using you presents

Your loyal mentally disturbed follower, Night the Darkness and Sadness of your Nightmares!

Well, DUH. Why wouldn't I use the lovely presents people give me? Since I'm bored, I'll share a small story of ONE exception:

Long ago, when this little queen was a midget elf, she was playing with her decapitated/scorched vampire plush toys by the Christmas Eve fire. Dad was knitting and Mom was cleaning the guns as Richard was setting up the Christmas tree, or Christmas twig with plastic leaves glued to it, all by himself. Uncle Marc was making paper in the kitchen when someone knocked on the door and in came my wonderful cousin, Rakisu. I believe you all met her, right? Anyways, she comes up to me all happy-go-lucky and tells me to close my eyes. Next thing I know I get knocked over by an oversized goat head.

And that is something that burned in the fireplace that very night.

Since that's out of the way, I go through the package. A DVD player, a laptop, and a midget Nori Masa Taka. "…OH MY GOD!" I jump up, hitting my head on the top of the large square. "OW!" I say with the same amount of enthusiasm. "NORI MASA TAKA HAS A GUARDIAN CHARACTER!"

Side Moral: Never let me watch Shugo Chara if you really do not want to hear these references.

The girl blinks up at me before shrugging. "My name is Mayu," she states before slipping into my pocket. "Here for your portable needs." She then taps her horn, making it glow radiantly. "And just in case you need to get my NMT unit over here."

BEST. PRESENT. EVER. And it's cute! I swear, this is what my baby with Zero shall look like, and I will find a way to get the horn-things born with her, even if it hurts! Now bouncing with joy (in the literal sense that keeps making my head hit the top bars), I open the last package, without note. There are only two names: 'Aoi' and 'Mya Kiryu'. Whether or not she's Zero's long lost sister is of no business of mine once the AK-47 slips out. How this package even FITS in this cage, this queen shall never know…This wonderful gun is complete with some poison and quite a few vampire-killing rounds.

I grin at Kaname, still bickering with the Headmaster. "Oh Kaname~"

~~Funny Farm~~

My eye twitches as I watch the fire demons take up lodging in my dorm. Nori Masa Taka and Mayu try their best to cheer me up, but I am honestly pissed beyond comprehension. Stupid Julia…Stupid Kaname…STUPID FIRE DEMONS! I whistle to grab their attention. With that in hand, I leap out of the window and make a mad dash for the Night Dorms. Might as well get something out of this pointless chapter…

Once again, the old geezer lets me through the gate, all fire demons in tow. Does he hate the Night Class to the very core or something? 'Cause if he didn't, then he wouldn't be letting me in and out of this place like I have full Cross-Academy access. Julia is walking out with some other vampire, chatting away happily, when the fire demons attack her at full throttle. I load my AK-47 with le' vampire-slaughtering rounds and fire towards the direction of all the flames.

One shriek is heard, so a full grin spreads across my face. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laugh. The laugh cuts short, however, when the flames die. Ash is on the ground…

…UNDER. JULIA'S. FEET.

"DO YOU NOT DIE?!" I screech, shaking her angrily.

She blinks placidly, not giving one iota for the dead vampy at her feet. Eh, don't necessarily blame her. "I am a Pureblood. You are an aristocrat." She flicks my forehead. "Learn your place."

This makes me laugh. "Oh, and what can you do, whine at me to death?"

Julia glares and grabs my arm, tugging on it. Her face scrunches up in concentration and I tilt my head, some question mark appearing next to my head. I swear I haven't been on drugs recently…"Ugh…" she mutters. "Strength is not everything."

Black clouds fill the sky overhead and thunder cackles. The light illuminates the Higurashi grin on my face as I tug Sebastian the Scythe off of the bracelet.

Side, Side Moral: You know what? Just don't let me watch anything AT ALL to prevent all these references…

"Let's test that, shall we~?" I sing. I raise Sebastian up high above my head. "MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Julia scampers.

~~Funny Farm~~

"One vampire annoyed on the wall, one vampire annoyed! Hang one up, get some rope, and just keep hanging them~!"

Zero keeps one bloodshot eye at me as his head rests on folded arms. "Dear God, JUST SHUT UP," he groans.

I pout. "It's not nice to tell God to shut up," I inform, poking his pale-ass cheek. "It's like telling me to shut up, except you trip over your feet instead of losing your right kidney for Black Market purposes."

More dark clouds come into the sky as Zero seems to shrink closer to the desk. "Give me the fucking kidney…" he growls, holding out a hand.

"No!" I stand up, clutching a jar filled with such organ tightly in one hand. "I worked hard to get this!"

"YOU TOOK IT FROM RICHARD."

…"Well, true, BUT STILL!" At this point, I'm stomping the ground and throwing the cutest fit I can think of: one from me! "It's not fair! I work so hard to cut up my LOVING OLDER BROTHER, and here you are, DEMANDING MY BROTHER'S KIDNEY. Oh the agony! You sick bastard!" Zero stands himself, wearing a confused grin. "Tearing a lonely-hearted sister from her brother's kidney when she plans to sell it and buy him some condoms for his time with Beet!"

The flying textbook that smacks my head comes from none other than Beet herself, blushing as red as a, well, beet. Zero chuckles and walks over, firmly placing a foot on my back and leaning down next to my head. How is this guy so flexible? Questions, questions…"Karma~" he sings, plucking the jar from my fingers. "Now, I guess I'll return this to the leech. Tell the teacher I left for a health emergency, will ya'?"

As he walks to the door, I start bawling. The clouds outside become blacker and the light of the world nearly goes away as those cooing fan girls I so hated last year and the year before loom over Zero, glaring with all their ridiculously set might. He sweat drops and shuffles over to my (crocodile) crying figure, picking me up and rocking me like a baby. Normally I would object to such treatment, but meh, it's my boyfriend!

Someone opens the door and breaks the concentration of the fan girls. Julia enters with a pale face and a trembling frame. Several cuts are on her arms and face, the origins of which to be NOT said. She glances at Zero and I before facing the board with a glare. I chose to ignore her as Zero rocks me, muttering nonsense into my hair.

"It's okay…It's okay…You are way too sensitive, but it's o-AH!"

Blood spurts onto my claws as they dig into the side of his neck. "Oh just shut up…" I murmur.

~~Funny Farm~~

Sure this last section here maybe way over what Linkin can afford, but that bitch neglects me so much that she deserves the suffering! In the Night Class, I glance out of the window to see Zero, smiling up at me and waving. I flip him off and laugh at his playful scowl. He flips me off as well and starts panicking as I mimic tears. Kaname, of course, ends our loving dispute with a book to the head. "DON'T COPY BEET!" I scold.

Ruka glares, standing up quicker than Blart at the word of 'beer'. Ah, Blart the Clown…"You should respect Kaname-sama!" she snaps. "He is much more than you will ever be!"

My brown irises roll and I sit on my desk, legs swinging at the front. "Do you mean that as a person or as my 'level' in our government charts?" I wonder.

"Both!" is her response.

Hanabusa grunts and grabs Ruka's wrist, yanking her down into her seat. "Be nice," he hisses. "Ann can be nice when she wants to."

Kaname snorts. "And that's when?" he questions, slamming the book he reads shut. Most of the vampires jump; Julia and I remain calm. The Pureblood faces me with a look of obvious distain. "Hmm? When is that, Queen Ann?"

I shrug and yawn, not really caring for the situation. "Never," I respond. "Look, I'm kind of tired, so can someone tell that laggy teacher of ours to get his ass in here?"

Most vampires glare at my insensitivity and untactful words, but that does not stop Akatsuki from replying. "He'll get here when he gets here," he shrugs. I scoff and lean back far enough to fall over. "That's not the chair you know."

Some vampires chuckle as I struggle to get up. Julia smirks and I levitate her chair into the ceiling, making Kaname sigh and continue reading. Sometimes I just feel like they can't help but give up on me…Footsteps echo in the hall and I beam, grabbing the laptop I had received today and rushing out. The black slab of sleek awesomeness is lifted high above my head before striking down hard on the person in front of me. "GET YOUR ASS IN CLASS, MISTER!" I laugh. My eyes glance at the victim to see the look of pain.

That is not what I get.

What I do get, however, is a fairly pissed Toga Yagari being escorted by Richard, being somewhat loopy from his kidney surgery earlier.

Moral: Mr. Yagari is, in fact, not a masochist and does not like having his head smashed through a laptop.
