Disclaimer: I own nothing!
'Nut': First of all... I'm applying for a job, my first job ever. If I get that job, I'll be working in a grocery store. Crap... then I'll have to balance school, working, writing, and making vids. Junior year is going to suck if I do get that job. Secondly... I'll now be staying after school on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every other Friday for help with geometry. Yeah, I'm failing that class, but at least I have an A+ in US History! Thirdly... "Hidden" will probably follow the manga a little more since I don't want to keep pausing the episodes. Yeah, you can call it being lazy, but pausing the epis is more time consuming. Anyways... please enjoy the second (official) chapter of "Hidden"! YAY FOR V-DAY! Wait... IT'S NOT FEBRUARY... Oh well!
"Hurry up!"
"Hold on, the ribbon..."
"Who're you giving that to?"
"What?! You know who!"
A group of girls were standing outside the Moon Dorm's gates before classes. It was St Xocolatl's Day, the day girls confess their love to the guy they like by giving them chocolate. To some it was annoying and pointless while to other's it meant a lot.
"It's morning... but they're already waiting for the Night Class?!" Yuuki asked herself aloud as she jumped onto the stone wall next to the big wooden doors before blowing the whistle.
TWEET!
"Everybody in the Day Class has classes now!" Yuuki yelled after taking the whistle out of her mouth, "Please go back to your classrooms!" She turned and saw a girl trying to climb over the wall, "Hey, you there!"
"I'm going to offer my chocolate." The girl told Yuuki, she had brown hair in two braids, brown eyes, and glasses.
"Don't climb that walls!"
The girl lost her balance on her friend's shoulders and they started falling over. One of the Kiryuu's caught the girl before she hit the ground. Everyone was in shock, they didn't expect that to happen.
"Um... thank you, Kiryuu."
"Hey, Zero! Nice catch!" Yuuki exclaimed as she slid in their direction.
"Let me tell you something..." Zero started after putting the girl down and as Yuuki climbed off the wall, "The Night Class doesn't leave the dorms before twilight. If you have something you want to give them, come back then. If you make too much of a fuss, I'll personally make sure that this event, held once every year, will be canceled."
"You don't have to say something that will make you even more hated by the girls on St Xocolatl's Day." Ichiru informed his brother as he walked over, "You won't even get friendship chocolate." Yuuki and him both patted Zero's back.
"Our role is to make sure the Day Class doesn't find out the truth about the Night Class." Zero reminded them as he walked to class.
"Yeah... we do have to be on our guard tonight." Yuuki agreed as she and Ichiru followed him.
At the lunch break, the three Guardians went to the Chairman's office since he had to tell them something "important." They all blinked at the serious expression on his face. If it was something they already knew, he didn't have to remind them.
"Since today is St Xocolatl's Day, you all have to be extra cautious. The Night Class' secret could get out." Cross told them, "And we don't want to deal with that."
"Yes, Headmaster!" Yuuki said and Ichiru nodded in agreement.
"You could just cancel this stupid event."
"If I do that, Kiryuu, there would be an uproar." Kaien started and got a stupid grin on his face, " It's because the vampires are beautiful and excellent." Yuuki and Ichiru both looked at Zero's expression which had turned into one of extreme hatred and annoyance.
"Don't praise those beasts to my face." Ichiru and Yuuki told the Chairman, "It's what he wants to say!"
"... Well..." Kaien started, "Since ancient times, vampires have been enemies of the humans, but there are vampires that want to live peacefully with us." He paused to look out the window, "I'm happy that I can educate that children of such vampires. That way, the children can become a bridge between vampires and humans. Zero, I want you to understand my way of thinking, not now, but eventually"
"That's impossible." Zero informed them, "Because it's impossible to erase the past."
Yuuki quickly thought before pulling out some random slips of paper from her pockets. She didn't want it to get any worse then it already was.
"Here, Otou-san! I have a St Xocolatl's Day gift for you!" She explained as she handed him 20 coupons for her shoulder massages, "And for you two!" The brunette then handed Ichiru a coupon for a free meal at a restaurant and a coupon good for 1 errand to Zero.
"You've been giving us the same things for years." Zero told her and she glared at him.
"Let's go! Lunch is about to end!" Ichiru informed them and they ran off to their last class of the day.
I wonder why Otou-san says thing he knows will tear at the wounds in Zero's heart even more... and even Ichiru's... Yuuki thought with a sad look.
After the last class, everyone rushed to the Moon Dorm's gates. Yuuki, Ichiru, and Zero were having some issues controlling the Day Class girls. A few minutes before the Night Class was set to come out, the girls were finally behind gates.
"Wow! Everyone is really into it this year! This should be fun!" Aido exclaimed after the gates creaked open.
"Ahh..." Kain covered his mouth as he yawned, "I'm sleepy..."
"All right!" Yuuki exclaimed as she turned to look at the Night Class, "We're about to start the even for St Xocolatl's Day. The girls from the Day Class will enter the gates for the 'Chocolate Hand-off' race!" She explained to them, "Night Class, please stand in front of your own gate and receive as many chocolates as you can from the girls that are in line! Thank you for your cooperation!" The brunette then got a very serious expression and pointed at them, "Remember, this is not a joke! The girls are serious!"
"I've got to get all the chocolates!" Aido yelled as he quickly ran past Yuuki.
"Aido." Kaname said as he walked in front of the Night Class, "Behave yourself." The blonde instantly stopped running and turned to look at Kaname.
"Yes, President Kuran."
The Night Class boys then went to their own gates and started accepting chocolates from the girls. After awhile, their hands were getting full and the chocolate piles started reaching their noses. Yuuki and Ichiru were pushing back some girls in gates while Zero just glared at the ones that were getting out of hand.
"Yuuki, don't get hurt." Kaname said to her as he walked past.
"Yes." She replied as she started turning. The girls then knocked her down and a box of chocolate fell out of her pocket. Zero picked it up and threw it to Kaname, who effortlessly caught it.
"Thank you, Yuuki." Kaname said as he read the label and started walking off.
After Kaname left, Yuuki had to reprimand Aido for asking a girl what her blood type was. The two got annoyed looks before Ichiru glared at them, Zero had already abandoned the two. The girl mumbled something before walking off.
"Cross Yuuki, I know what you're hiding from everyone." Aido told her before walking to class. Yuuki's brown eyes widened, she hadn't expected him to be able to tell that just from tasting her blood. She decided that she would deal with that later.
After patrol, Yuuki and Ichiru were both exhausted. Ichiru went straight to bed while Yuuki decided to take a bath. The brunette dragged herself to the bathroom.
"Hey, there you are!" She exclaimed as she saw Zero sitting against a wall, "Zero, what happened?" Yuuki noticed his distant expression, "You'll catch a cold if you don't dry yourself." The brunette reminded him as she kneeled down next to him gently dried his silver hair, "You have to wear your top right too." Yuuki then buttoned him his shirt before taking something out of her pocket, "Here! A chocolate for you! Now you can't say I've given you and Ichiru the same thing for years!" Yuuki pushed the ball into his mouth and grew annoyed at the disgusted face he made, "Hey! You're making a face as if it doesn't taste good!" She complained before standing up and turning away, "Whatever!" Her eyes spotted something on the floor, she dropped down to pick it up and examine it. What's a blood tablet doing here? Yuuki thought as she stood up again.
'Nut': I know it's shorter then the last one... Please review and it'll help make this story one of my top priorities! I'll even start writing the chapters during Language 10!
