CONGRATULATIONS TO ZeamagiriZyenn! They have correctly guessed who Zero is!
[Disclaimer:] I wish I owned this, but I don't. I'm going to read some other yaoi now.
Kaname:
Standing in the front garden was an interesting crowd. They were all here to listen to my speech, but not all of them were Nobles or Purebloods. I could see quite a few commoners as well. I wonder what they wanted. Oh well, there's Yuuki now; standing on the stage; introducing me. I don't even know why I stay by her side. Do I even love her? Now that's an interesting question I don't think that I could offer you an answer; even if it meant life or death. What a strange thing, I haven't thought like this in a long time. Usually it was painful to think hard for long periods of time; especially if I was trying to remember the past. You don't think that Yuuki put a spell on me, do you? Would she even do that? Maybe she isn't as innocent as I remember, assuming if I could remember our past.
But whenever I do run over the memories in my head, there's always someone who stands out. A silver-haired, lavender-eyed young man. But I have no name to place with that face. Who is he? Why do I keep remembering him? Was he once someone important to me? I can't seem to bring anything else up on him. My memories are so fuzzy now. But if I can't remember him, then I guess that he's not important. Whatever, I have to concentrate. After all, I do have a speech to give.
I'm so deep in my thoughts that I almost miss Yuuki calling my name. She's goading the crowd, egging them on. 'Clap' 'Clap' 'Clap' why is she doing that? I don't understand. But I need to get a move on. Moving quickly out of the shadows, I step onto the platform and cross over to the podium. My notes ate placed there, not that I need them, but just in case. It's not like I'm going to forget anything though. Clearing my throat, I begin; starting off with a Welcome speech. I hadn't planned this for very long so it was only a couple minutes. Getting into the second part of my speech would prove to be a challenge as I quickly found out within the next moments.
He was beautiful, but I recognized him very quickly as the young man who asked me why I buried the deer. His eyes had changed color though. A god? Amazing, I had met many powerful people during my time on this land, but never a god. He flicks his fingers once and the ground shakes slightly, then he speaks; and those simple words force my blood to run cold.
"Welcome to the Third Great Flood." Then water bursts out of the ground, shooting hundreds of feet into the air. Our koi pond quickly overflows, and begins to flood the gardens. People are now running around screaming. Can't they see what they are doing is not helping? I whirl around and tear for the house. Aidou is inside; hurt; and he can't move. If the world is going to flood, I have to save him and the rest of the Night Class. For some strange reason, I feel like letting Yuuki drown, after all; didn't she take something special from me? But for the life of me; I can't think of what. Is that a bad thing?
More water joins the rest; roaring over the mountains and filling the valleys. Glancing over my shoulders was a mistake for my strides falter when I see the wave of water coming my way. Fine, I would have to do this the hard way. Stretching out my powers, I surround Aidou, Kain, Takuma, Rima, Ruka, and myself in bubbles. Closing my eyes, I focus on keeping them from popping as the water rushes all around us. I can hear the house creaking and falling, before it collapses into a pile of wood. A pile that was snatched away by the water. It's a roaring dragon; the water; one that wants to eat us all up. Ahh, it's getting harder to hold onto the living world. I'm quickly running out of power. We've already sunk so deep into the murky blue. . . Ahh. . . I. . .feel. . .so. . . . . . . . .tired. . . fading. . . . . . . . . . . . .so. . . . .quickly. . .
