Arisu opened her eyes. She really had fallen asleep. The sun was filtering through the window shades. She pulled the blanket over her head. Her first day here was so interesting…was this going to be how the rest of the school year would be like?
She realized that she wasn't alone. She sat bolt upright, "You!"
Zero was sitting in a chair near the foot of the bed. "Don't get any ideas vampire, Yuuki asked me to watch you."
"But what about class?" Arisu asked.
"Yuuki told the teacher you weren't feeling well. She's taking notes for both of us," he glared at her. Your kind belongs in the night class. Go there and leave Yuuki alone."
"I can't" Arisu muttered.
Zero stood up quickly and headed for the door, "I'll never do that again."
The door slammed shut. Arisu got up and tried to open the door, it was locked. She must have to stay in the room yet. She sat down on the bed, what could she do now?
There wasn't much Arisu could do to pass the time. The window was locked, the door was locked, all there was left was the bed, a single chair, and a sink. How long were they going to make her stay in this room?
She paced around the room for awhile, and then laid out on the bed. The sun began to set as her stomach growled. Arisu sighed; she was getting sick of her cage. How much longer would she have to sit alone?
Finally someone started down the hallway. She recognized this presence. The door opened to reveal her savior – Yuuki. Arisu ran into the girl's arms.
"Sorry for leaving you in her for so long, Zero was supposed to get you food after you awoke. Guess he thought you were following him and forgot to unlock the door," she smiled.
Arisu smiled back. It seemed that Yuuki and Zero were close. She didn't want to make them fight.
"You must be starving! Let's go eat dinner together before I have to do my job," Yuuki said, she led Arisu to the dining hall. Arisu was dropped off at the dorm before Yuuki left.
Once Yuuki was gone, Arisu quietly snuck out of the dorm. After being stuck in a room all day, she needed some fresh air.
She walked onto the grounds. It seemed either Yuuki wanted to act like nothing happened, or she forgot all about the fact that Arisu, "Mahiru," was a vampire.
Arisu walked aimlessly through the grounds of the school lost in thought. It felt nice to be in the fresh air.
She sat down a good distance from both the school and the dorms, which was kind of difficult. She didn't want to get spotted by Yuuki, Zero, or any of the night class.
Leaning against a tree, she looked up into the night sky. It was a clear night. Outside really felt better than being trapped indoors. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
She awoke to someone gently shaking her. Her eyes fluttered open to see Kaname before her. She blushed a deep red, "K…Kaname-Sempai?"
He smiled, "needed air?"
Arisu nodded her head, "I was stuck in that room for too long."
"Understandable," He said, he was still kneeling next to her, "though you've gotten Yuuki looking everywhere for you," he stood.
"Yuuki!" she tried to stand up but her head spun as her body became unbalanced. She began to sway.
Kaname put his hand on her shoulders to steady her, "careful."
Arisu blushed slightly again, "t…thank you," She stood on her own two feet.
"Let's talk tonight after Yuuki leaves you to do her patrol, come back to the school," he turned to leave.
"How will I find you?"
"I will find you," he left towards the Moon Dorms.
Arisu walked towards the school and was spotted by Yuuki.
"Mahiru – I was so worried!" Yuuki threw her arms around the girl before her.
"I'm sorry Yuuki. I needed fresh air last night and I guess I fell asleep."
"Don't go out on the grounds at night, it's dangerous!"
"But you leave the dorms at night…"
"Well, I have to do my job!"
Arisu giggled, "Ok ok, I won't go out anymore."
"I didn't mean ever," the two girls were walking to class, "just at night."
They got to class and sat down just in time. Class went by fast and soon it was over.
"I have to go eat with the headmaster before…" Yuuki trailed off.
"Go and eat!" Arisu smiled, "I can handle myself."
Yuuki ran off towards the headmaster's office. Zero bumped into Arisu.
"Sorry Zero," she said quickly.
He just glared at her and then followed after Yuuki's footsteps.
Arisu sighed and left campus towards the day dorms. She stopped at the split paths. The one going left was her own dorm; the one on the right was the Moon dorms.
She watched as a few female students rushed eagerly towards the gate. Arisu had witnessed firsthand how beautiful the night class was, but she also knew their secret.
The last time she was at those dorms, it set off a chain reaction good and bad things that followed afterward.
She wouldn't risk it again. Once it got dark she would go to school and talk with Kaname-Sempai.
