The Red

Chapter 4

In the Headmaster's Office

"I see…" Kaien Cross pushes his glasses closer to his face.

Dude, I don't need to say 'blonde and obviously gay guy' all the time because I've read the Mangas nonstop and remember? DAILY VAMPIRE KNIGHT/ROSARIO+VAMPIRE! That and hidden sessions of Elfen Lied because I've had ENOUGH of Kaki's Lucy Cosplay! Anyways…continuing from where we left off, we're in Headmaster's office (may I say I don't hate him either, but does he really have to act gay towards Zero?). Nana is poking at Yuuki's cheek, making her giggling constantly (don't ask me what's going on in Nana's mind). Cassie is scribbling lyrics on a little shred of paper Headmaster gave her. Kaki is sitting down with her back slumped and tongue in her cheek as she twiddles her thumbs. Me? Standing stiff next to Zero who's just glaring at me. (Sigh) Oh well, at least Ikuto hasn't met him (I mean come on that'd be DISASTER!). I do short math and raise a brow at the ground, turning up to Zero.

"How old are you?" I wonder.

He glares. "Why?"

"Checking something."

"Sixteen."

Yep, so A) the majority of guys I find hot are at least five-years-older than me and B) Ikuto's older. Yuuki rubs the back of her head and Nana flies to me, circling my head as if she has GCADHD (Guardian Character Attention Deficient Hyper Disorder (something like that)). "Hey, He-dad?"

Headmaster beams. "Yes, my lovely adopted daughter?"

Yep, clearly before those serious volumes. "I found this girl in another part of the academy. She said her name was Yuki Hoshino."

Kaki and I jump up, our faces determined and a bit shocked. "WHAT? WHERE IS SHE?"

Yuuki jumped back, an actual sweat-drop appearing. Sht. "Hehe…um…she sort of is coming h-"

Someone opens the door. "Phew! You guys have a LOT of stairs. Oh! KAKI! MAKI!"

We turn to Yuki tackling us. "YUKI!" Kaki snarls. "GET OFF!"

"Eh, I don't see what's wrong with it," Nana shrugs.

"Lesbian," Cassie mutters.

"AM NOT!"

"ARE TO!"

"ALL OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!"

The whole room turns to Zero Kiryu, those tick marks showing, his eyes white and demonic, and all those shady lines that symbolize extreme anger. Yuki steps off and I slap my face across, blinking and looking around. Yep…

WE'RE IN THE FCKING ANIME!

I mean think about it, there has never been real life Vampire Knight, right? So we must be there, since everything is in color. And yes, I just notice that everything is drawn like in an anime. May I just say I look awesome? Back to the anime… "Hey, Yuki?" I ask.

"Yeah?"

"Where's Annie and Mina?"

"Annie's sleeping," she points to her pocket, "and I don't know where-"

We hear snoring and we all turn to the Headmasters desk. Kaki puts a finger over her lips and creeps over, opening one of the lower drawers and pulling out none other than Mina's egg. "Okay, she gets to keep her characters, but not us?"

"What do you mean?" Yuuki and Yuki wonder. They stare at each other with the anime (-_-;) look and then back to us.

Headmaster jesters Kaki and I to explain and we do. I mostly lie about how we got here, seeing that portals and crp are obviously not in their dictionary (and Zero would pull the gun again). So I just made up the excuse I woke up there and that Characters can generally fly, so they probably did a Character Change (also explained) to find me. I also explain thoroughly about the fact about not being a vampire and a fall most likely occurred to mess up two teeth. Headmaster turns to Yuki. "How did you get here?"

"Well…"

Flashback: Yuki's POV

I wake up to sudden warmth and the thick scent of horse dung. My eyes flutter open and I sit up, one knee arched up with my arms as supports to see familiar horse stables. They're WAY too familiar mostly because they're anime drawn. Wait, I'm in an anime? AWESOME! I wonder-"Annie don't draw on the horses!"

She smiles innocently. "Okay!"

I roll my eyes, amused, and push myself to stand, looking around. "YO! MAKI! KAKI! MACK! IKUTO? MINA!"

Annie looks around and scratches her head with the tip of a pencil. "I don't feel anyone's presence…"

I sigh and place my left hand on my hip, the right hand clutching a ball of my hair. I groan, "What are we going to do? First it's that crimson 'X' egg, and now it's an anime world where we loose everyone!"

"Hello?"

I turn to see…*gasp*!

YUUKI CROSS FROM VAMPIRE KNIGHT!

"AHH!" I cheer. "IT'S YUUKI CROSS!"

I run over and glomp her (shut up to the grammar gremlins). She blinks and taps my head, so I look up to her face. "Uh, hi…what are y-you doing here?" she wonders.

I shrug and de-glomp (REBEL AGAINST THE GRAMMAR GREMLINS [to be honest it's a private joke between Kaki and I]. "All I know is that I woke up here after being kidnapped by this red thingy. Hey, have you seen two midgets around here?"

"Midgets?"

"Yeah, twins that are short?" She shakes her head. "What about some midget that looks like this one?" I point to Annie, who laughs at being slightly insulted. I mean face it all Guardian Characters are floating midgets that come out of your heart (and people wonder why they run out of breath so quickly when they run).

"Are they human or vampire?" she wonders.

I freeze. WHOA! SECURITY ALERT! WHO JUST GOES OUT AND ASKS THAT? "Uh…human…you do know you just risked the expulsion of vampires, right?"

She shakes her head. "Unless you are in urgent need of a dental job, you're a vampire."

I blink and feel inside my mouth, then Annie, and then I jump. "WHOOHOO! I'M A VAMPIRE BTCHES AND BSTARDS!" I start running in circles. "WHOOHOO! TAKING THAT YOU FCKS!"

"Okay!" Yuuki groans, catching the back of my shirt. "Just stop! People might hear you!"

I nod, excited, and then Annie frowns. "What's wrong?" I ask.

"If you are a vampire, doesn't that mean…" Annie starts.

I frown as well. Who knows? For all I know…

…Kaki and Maki might be vampires to.

Flashback: Yuki's POV/end

I blink. "Did you seriously cheer about being a vampire?" I raise a brow.

Yuki nods. "It's awesome!"

"No, it really is not," Kaki shakes her head.

I barely notice we're in a corner away from them, Yuuki explaining to Headmaster how she came across Yuki. "Jeez…I can't believe this is all actually happening," I mutter, crossing my arms over my chest.

Kaki and Yuki nod. "As cool as we thought it would be," Kaki huffs, "it's too dangerous. We need to find a way home."

"How though?" Yuki sighs, scratching the back of her head. "We have four characters and two missing with two missing characters! We can't find a way until we find them and we knows? They could've gone to a whole other world!"

I gasp and cover my mouth. Ikuto…I shake my head. "Not possible. Maybe it's a different location of this world."

"It better be," Kaki looks down. "Mack and Ikuto are goners if we don't find them soon."

"How so?" Yuki wonders.

"They never gave a fck about the show or books," Kaki points out. "They know absolutely nothing about it!"

I stick my tongue in my cheek and snap my fingers. "Which portal did you guys go through?"

"The right," they answer in unison.

"I went through the right to! Ikuto went through the left and Mack…"

"Went through the left," Kaki gasps.

"Exactly, so they have to be in the same vicinity!"

"But where!" they scold me.

Nana, Annie, and Cassie fly up, Mina's egg shaking with snores. They all look worried. "Yuki-cha…" Annie shifts.

"What?" Yuki wonders.

"Look at Mina…" Cassie points to Mina's egg sadly.

"What are you-AHH!"

Yuki covers her mouth and the whole room stares at her. Kaki and I look over her shoulder and cover our own mouths. "Oh no…" I blink.

"It has to be the portal," Kaki whispers. "She was perfectly fine."

"BUT WHY MINA!" Yuki cries, dropping to her knees. "MINA COME OUT!"

Headmaster, Zero, and Yuuki all blink at us as we stare at Mina's egg…

the egg with a crimson 'X'.

A.N: Hate me all you want, but it will be better for them all soon!

Something to think about: Put yourself in Yuki's shoes. How would you react if you found your character had a mysterious red 'X' on the egg while all the eggs with that particular 'X' had and have to be destroyed?
