T^T But now I have him back. Yahy! Here is the Chapter 3 of the story The Night of the Blooming Cereus. Hope you'll like it. Thank you for the reviews and for reading it.
I don't own Vampire Knight and anything aside from my OC and the plot.
Chapter 3
As Zero entered the room, he saw a girl facing the window. She has a long hair that seemed to be a mixed hue of dark blue and violet that reach past her shoulder and flowed down into her mid back. The said girl was looking on some far place but as if sensing Zero, she turned her head towards him meeting his eyes and he was enthralled. He was so enthralled that he did not notice the girl walking closer to him but when he felt two hands cupped his face, he was brought back from his trance. He look up to see who is it only to find himself staring at a pair of pale blue pools that seem to glow in the darkness of the room and he felt like he was drowned by those eyes.
"So beautiful.." the girl muttered while deeply staring at Zero's eyes.
"Who are you?" Zero, though was still in a mixed state of confusion and enthrallment managed to asked the girl on his front. Now that he was able to see her clearly, he had to admit, this girl was beautiful. Her hair that once seemed to be a mixture of dark blue and violet under the moonlight turned into a darkest shade of black in the shadows. She had unevenly straight bangs that framed her doll-like face and her lips are unnaturally pink as if it was painted. He takes it back… She was not beautiful. How can he describe her? She's not beautiful but mysteriously no, ethereally beautiful.
Yuki was then bothered on why Zero halt on walking and to whom he was talking to. Thus, she entered the room and was astounded to see a girl holding Zero's face. And she was a beautiful one. She was about to ask when the lights turned on.
"Why are you here Yuki? Eh? Even Zero is here.." the just arrived Chairman Cross said as he looked at them. It was then that he noticed the other person in the room. "Ara? So you are already awakened. How's your feeling?" he asked to the other person which is the girl.
"You know her Dad?" Yuki asked.
"Yes. She was the person found at the front of the gate earlier."
"Oh.." was the only thing Yuki had said as she look back to the girl who was now scurrying away from Zero. The said girl only looks at them without any word.
"How's your feeling? Do you feel something wrong?" Chairman Cross asked again to the girl which the girl responded by shaking her head.
"Where..am I?" the girl almost whispered but luckily they were able to hear it.
"You're in the Cross Academy. We found you unconscious at the front of the gate so we take you here. Do you still remember what happened?"
"I…don't know. I don't know… I-I don't remember anything." The girl answered shaking and hugging herself.
"I see.. It seems that she don't have her past memories." Chairman Cross commented.
"Poor girl" Yuuki softly muttered as she remembered herself being like that too. She was then felt sympathy towars her. Having no past memories is like being incomplete. Yuuki was lucky because she had her father, Zero and the others while this girl..she had none.. I wish I could help her.. Suddenly, a thought came up to Yuuki.
"Why don't we take her in for a while?" Yuuki suddenly asked which earned a puzzled look from the two guys. "I mean, why don't we let her stay here with us? She can't remember anything right? We can't just leave her like that."
"But Yuuki" Chairman Cross trailed off.
"Please dad.." Yuuki beg and a begging Yuuki is what he can't stand with.
"Fine.. We will let her stay her."
"Thank you dad! Did you hear that? From now on you are going to stay here with us."
"Tha-thank you" the girl only muttered.
"By the way I'm Yuuki and this is my father Kaein Cross and that frowning guy over there is Zero.. Etou… Since you have no memories, you can't remember your name as well.. Well then what do you like us to call you? Yuuki cheerfully asked.
"Uhmm.."
"Ameri" The once silent Zero suddenly spurted out.
"Ameri.." the girl repeated.. "I…like it" she said and then smiled.
"So it was settled. You are now Ameri. Nice to meet you Ameri-chan." Yuuki said. To say that she was shock is an understatement. Did Zero just give a name for her? To a stranger nevertheless. And with that she smiled wider. Who would have thought that Zero is such a kind man?
"Nice to meet you too Yuuki-san, Zero-san and Cross-san." Ameri said and bowed.
"Alright alright! Sorry to cut off this scene but Ameri-chan still need to rest. The night was going deeper too. We should head now and sleep." Chairman Cross said as he pushes the two out.
"Goodbye Ameri-chan" Yuuki bids to Ameri who in return wave back at them.
As the three of them was totally out of the clinic, Zero abruptly stopped walking and turned to Yuuki.
" What the hell are you thinking requesting to take her in?" Zero asked with annoyance visible on his face.
"Eeh? Why not? Is that a problem? Would like her to roam around the village knowing that she had no place to go? And wait a minute.. Im not the one to talked so. Isn't you the one who gave her a name?!" Yuuki reacted to Zero.
"I…"
"See?"
"But really..I never thought you had a soft spot. Even a single one Zero-kun." Chairman Cross commented which earned a death glare from Zero.
"I agree with Dad. Anyway where did you get that name?"
I don't know. It suddenly came up and before I knew it I already said it."Zero
"But I think Ameri suits her." Yuuki smiled as she remembered the girl before.
"Whatever. I still don't like the idea of letting her stay here. You are way too kind Yuuki. Even though you knew she was a stranger you still ask to stay her here. What if she is a vampire acting or pretending she has no recollection of her past just to get close to us?"
"That's awful Zero. I think Ameri-chan's telling the truth. What's with the sudden change of attitude? You seem okay with the idea earlier."
"Tssk. Just don't make yourself get close to her." With those final words, Zero walk away and head off towards his room leaving a frowning Yuuki.
"Zero.."
"Well… Typical of him. But don't worry much he really didn't mean it. Zero is just being Zero. Saa.. you should head to your room and sleep now Yuuki. You still have class tomorrow."
"H-hai. Good night Dad." Yuuki said and left. Sometimes she can't understand Zero but that's the way he is right? 'I will help Ameri-chan no matter what. No matter how contradict Zero will be.' She thought as she goes her way towards her room.
