A/N: First, I would really like to thank Demonic Angel 7 for reviewing! Also, I would like to thank both Demonic Angel 7 and Triple T 123 for following! (I would also like to thank those of you still reading, if you review, favorite, or follow, I would know who you are!) This author's note is getting way too long. Okay, I've left out the Fangirls for three chapters, time for them to appear...
I made my way back to the dorm, shortly before we would normally depart for class. The Night Class students were sitting around the main room, making it somewhat awkward walking in. I bit the inside of my lip and found a place to sit near Rima, now that I thought about it, I hadn't talked to her in a couple days, considering what had been going on. I looked around the room and noticed that Kaname shot me a weird look, could he know? If he did, he must be monitoring me, always. If he knew, there was nothing I could do to change that now. I still had to be careful, in case I was wrong and he didn't know. If he knew, he would probably confront me in some way at some point.
We all got up and began walking, I hadn't noticed it before, but there was a large gate in our path. No one seemed surprised at its presence so I must have just not noticed it before, each time we had gone this way I had been distracted with something. Everyone stopped just before it, I could hear screams of girls, they were screaming boy's names, they must have been shouting names of the Night Class boys. It seemed to bore all of them but one, a blond haired, blue eyed boy seemed to be getting excited.
"That's Aidou. He's always that annoying." Rima said, responding to my thoughts.
"Don't push! Get back!" I heard someone shout, I recognized that voice. The gates slowly opened, revealing countless Day Class girls, screaming names, it was deafening. Aidou skipped to the front and began talking to the Day Class girls, encouraging their behavior. I saw Yuki standing in front of a crowd of the Day Class girls, trying to keep them held back, her head hung, looking at the ground. Kaname briefly walked over to her and said something, she bowed as he walked away. I looked to the other crowd, and there was Zero, standing, bored, all the Day Class girls on that side behaving out of pure fear. We passed all the commotion and I felt relieved, I was sure I'd get used to it, but my ears rang loudly for at least the following half hour.
Class seemed to fly by, everyone seemed so bored during class, as if it were pointless to even go. The walk back was nicely quiet, most of the girls were thankfully asleep, only one or two had the energy and will to get up at dawn to watch us walking back to the dorm. It made me wonder to myself, wouldn't it get boring? Watching the same people every day? Then again, once in a while they might get to see a new face, like me. We got back to the dorm and everyone began sitting around, most of them drinking something, they had plain water, but after dropping a small white tablet in it, it turned a light red. Rima handed me a glass of it, I looked at it nervously, what was it? This time Rima didn't explain or elaborate, I took a drink of it, it was extremely bitter, not only that but it didn't taste like anything I knew. Something odd and different. I tolerated the taste and finished the glass, I listened to the students chat and gossip for a while before I headed up to my room along with the rest of them. This didn't seem so bad, they didn't seem scary, I realized the fact that they were vampires, wasn't something they wished for, they were not much different from me. But what would happen if I stayed here and they found out I was human? Or worse, what if I asked to be transferred and they realized I knew their secret and had to kill me? Okay, I had watched too many action movies if I was applying that to my life. They couldn't kill a student, they couldn't cover something like that up. I would just...Try to act like them and...Not bleed! That was key here, don't bleed, or if I did, don't let them know it's me! It couldn't be that simple... It probably wasn't, these were only the basics, they were too easy to be everything. I somewhat wanted to transfer just to be safe, but it didn't seem like a good idea, at least not yet, I would hold that in mind as my last resort. I flopped down on my bed, my head landing in my pillow, facing the wall. I was going to be staying here a long time, I'd have to get used to it, the academy, and everyone in it. Everything was beginning to feel more right, as if all the pieces were falling into place on their own, wiping the slate clean, so when the battle began, it would be fair, or at least more so than it would be now. I wasn't really tired, but I knew I should sleep, when I thought about it, sleep seems almost pointless, you're not doing anything useful, you're simply resting, and while you sleep, you are very vulnerable. Most any stealthy opponent could defeat you while you sleep, and possibly not even wake you in the process. It seems almost foolish to sleep knowing these things.
"It is foolish to sleep...Isn't it, Kaname?" I said, lifting my head and turning it, to look at him on the opposite side of my room. I knew it, Kaname knew I remembered, so he was going to wait until I was asleep to do something to keep me from telling. Knowing that, I made it appear as though I was sleeping, but occupied my thoughts so I wouldn't fall asleep. I really was always agitated when my classmates or other people would call me stupid, not because it was mean, but because I knew it wasn't true and it got annoying. I sat up, now that he knew I wasn't asleep, there was no point in still laying down. I allowed my legs to swing freely off the edge of the bed. "What were you going to do? Erase my memory again? Or maybe something a bit more clever and efficient?" I asked, I had to be getting on his nerves but what should I care? True, he was beautiful and smart, but it was no fun letting him win without a fight.
"I was right, your intelligence is turning out to be a problem." He said, I laughed a little. It was humorous, had he doubted my intellect? Maybe he wasn't as smart as I again, all he would have had to go off was my record.
"This game is going to fun, isn't it?" I asked, that's all this was, a mere game. Then again, the price for losing was very costly.
"This is not a game you can win." He said coldly. I would have expected he would say as much. Trying to intimidate me, it wouldn't work. I had already begun to figure a way to make him do as I please whether he likes it or not. The person closest to him, the only one he cares about, the one he holds dear, I would use her, and she wouldn't even know. That would be how I'd get to him and win this game, but I would have to make sure to not use that card too early, if I did, he could work around it.
"We'll see about that." I said, and a moment later, as I blinked my eyes for less than a second, he was gone. This was going to be interesting, playing a game against the Pureblood, Kaname Kuran. Most would have give up and submit, but I wasn't like that, I didn't want to, and it wouldn't be any fun. I knew he wouldn't make a move tonight, it was too soon after the game had begun, making a drastic move too soon could cost him the game, and how would that look? For the Pureblood Prince to loose to a mere human girl. I laughed, if I did win, he would be utterly humiliated. I would win as long as I didn't get cocky, and he didn't cheat. If he cheated, it would makes things even more fun. I would save worrying about that for later. I could now rest easy, at least for tonight. Tomorrow is when the game would truly begin.
I woke up in the middle of the day, it seemed so bright outside. I was tempted to just stay in my uniform, but I decided it would cause a ruckus and that would be too much hassle for Yuki. I put on some long blue jeans, a T-shirt, sneakers, and a black zip up hoodie. I still put on the silver necklace though, I really liked it, and I noticed that quite a few of the girls at the academy wore ones just like it. I slipped out of the dorm very quietly, everyone in the Night Class slept all day and woke up at about the same time, it seemed a bit odd. It was also going to make the game more difficult since the entire Night Class would follow Kaname. Oh well, I would win all the same, if he had to sick the entire Night Class on me, he would seem so very weak. I would get the privilege of finding out which was more important to him, his reputation, or winning. Most of them except about seven he kept close to him couldn't stand sunlight, I could taunt those ones from the sunlight. Other than that, I would have to hide, I couldn't fend off the seven of the ones who could be out in sunlight plus Kaname, I would be killed. I stopped for a moment, would he go that far? I continued walking, what good would it be to him to take my life? Maybe I was wrong, maybe I couldn't win, could Kaname be right? No. I shook my head, I couldn't doubt myself, it was too late now, I was in this game, and I wasn't quitting. I heard the screams of excited girls then looked to the sky, it was only beginning to become a little orange. They assembled really early. I wanted to help Yuki with those crazy girls, but how? Then I thought back to unpacking, I had forgotten, I snuck my katana in! It seemed like magic, but disguising it as a Cosplay sword really worked, I just wrapped it in back paper and taped on a piece of white paper that said, 'COSPLAY SWORD' I guess they believed that. I ran back to the dorm but slowed down and was more quiet once I got there. I got to my room and tied the sheath of the katana to my waist, and ran back, of course being quiet until I was out of the dorm. I carefully got on top of the wall where the gate was and looked at the situation. Yuki just got trampled and Zero was nowhere in sight. I jumped down, landing expertly, I began with a somewhat nice approach.
"SHUT UP!" I began, silence fell across the crowd. "Everyone get into the designated area and wait patiently!" I said, making sure I was loud enough for everyone to hear. There was silence for a moment while no one moved.
"Or else what?" A brave voice ventured.
"Oh, I am so glad you asked!" I said genuinely. I pulled out my katana and held it so they all could see. "Or this." I swung it as a display of my power. The crowd bunched together against the wall except for one brave girl. I swung the sword so it was pointed at her neck, only centimeters away.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Yuki said, finally getting up, I turned my head to look at her without moving my sword, the girl I was pointing my sword at also looked at Yuki.
"I'm helping you with the nuisances." I stated.
"Not like that!" She protested.
"Controlling them with threats is efficient, I've proved that, haven't I?" I asked.
"That's against school rules!"
"Really?"
"Yes! It's right here in the student handbook!" She said pulling one out.
"There shall be no unnecessary threats/violence on school grounds." I looked at her. "One, I find this quite necessary, second, that is the Day Class student handbook." I pointed out.
"It's the same in the Night Class student handbook!" She said.
"Fine, then I'll leave you to deal with the nuisances." I said, sheathing my sword and beginning to walk away. "I won't visit you at the infirmary when you get trampled one too many times, or if I do, it will be to tell you that I informed you thusly." I warned. She sighed and as soon as I was out of sight, the girls began going crazy again. I leaned back in, it was silent. "Sure you don't want my help? I could just stand here." I said, Yuki thought a moment.
"Fine. But no violence!" She made sure to enforce that there would be no violence.
"Yeah, yeah." I paused. "I can use necessary violence though, right? Nothing fatal, I promise, just something that will hurt enough where they will learn their lesson?" I clarified, no fear, no order.
"Fine." She said.
I waited until Zero got there which was really close to when the Night Class would wake up before I bailed. As long as they were scared, the girls would behave. I made it back to the dorm right before the students started waking up which was lucky, then I wouldn't have to answer the question of, "Where were you?" or "What are/were you doing?" and so on. I hated those questions, they were so annoying. After I got ready, it was time for another uneventful night of class.
A/N: Say goodbye to Fangirls! (Unless you review and protest) Please R&R, a writer doesn't know where to improve unless their readers tell them!
