I don't own anything except my OC! Enjoy! :)
I walked quietly on the dark corridor heading towards the chairman's office. What could possible be so important for me to go there at this hour, I couldn't know. All I knew was that I was tired and mostly, I was trying to figure out what was wrong with Zero. He became so distant, especially with me and the fact that he stared at me like that when we were at the bathroom was making me feel like I was missing something obvious yet nessecary to be noticed. I knew that Yuki wouldn't tell me what was going on since she was as clueless as me. The only person that might knew me was Kaien and that was the only reason I decided to go and see what he wanted with hope that he would help me. Surely he must have noticed that Zero was acting very strange...and earlier when he said he smelled blood...could he be one of them?
I pulled away from my thoughts, too afraid to think about that when I realised that I was standing just outside the wooden door of the chariman's office. I could hear faint voices coming from inside and I hesitated for a moment before I took a deep breath and knocked a few times, waiting for him to respond. The voices stopped for a moment and there was a muffled 'come in' from my adoptive father. I slowly opened the door only to be greeted by that crazy old man who was running towards me with his arms wide open to what I assumed was going to be a breathless hug.
"My dear daughter! you came to see daddy!~"
Just before he could reach me, I stepped aside causing him to fall flat on his face on the floor of the corridoor. I smirked a bit as I stepped inside his office and closed the door behind me, leaving him on the corridor whipping and whinning about me not loving my daddy. I giggled at him but the smile froze on my face when I saw who else was in the room. The person was sitting in an armchair with his back facing me and I could only see the white uniform of his and his brunettee hair, his haid resting on his palm. He didn't turn around to face me or made any move to acknowledge my presence but I knew he could smell my scent. Behind me I heard the door open and I felt a wave of relief for not being alone with him in the room. The chairman sent me a hurt look which I returned with my cutest smile, something that always made him melt.
"How is one of my dearests daughters doing?" He asked as he sat down on his desk and folded his hand infront of him. I forced a smiled as I walked closer to them, all the while feeling the pureblood's eyes on me but I was doing my best to avoid him.
"You didn't call me here at this hour to just see how am I doing, right?" I said in a matter-of-fact tone, wanting nothing more than to get out of here. The chairman just smiled at me and from the corner of my eye I could see Kaname too smirking.
"Aww! Angel! Your mean to your daddy! I only wanted to know how are you faring." He pouted at me and I raised one brow waiting for him to continue. "Well, that and something else...sit down." He gestured the other armchair in front of his desk close to where he was sitting.
"I'm fine." I said quickly but the way that Kaien looked at me made me quickly change my mind as I sat down and crossed my legs. That's how it was with Kaien. He would be sweet and caring with his children but there were few times that he would be serious and that meant that one of us was in trouble, mostly me. I waited for any of them to talk and seeing that both of them didn't, I was begining to get impatient. Finally, Kaien spoke with the serious look still on his face.
"Angel, you know about the porpuse of this school."
"You mean to keep the humans from being sucked dry by them?" I said pointing at the pureblood beside me, making him tense. The chairman gave a deep sigh as he tried again.
"I mean the main porpuse." I nodded slowly still not getting where all this was going. If he had called me here to explain the reason I was being pushed daily and had to put up with those annoying fangirls in this school then I was going to strike him down. And why was Kaname here, anyway?
"Many years now we try to create a world were humans can coexist with vampires peacefully. And everyone in this school has to follow certain rules. Including the perfects."
I raised an eyebrow still not getting what he wanted to say. "You know, it would be easier without the introduction." He sighed again and I saw him taking a glance at Kaname before he looked at me again.
"What I mean is, that each side has to show respect to the other in order to achieve such goal. Especially to the higher of the Night Class." I stared at him in confusion until realization hit me. For the first time since I entered the office I turned my gaze towards the pureblood who was staring at me with an amused look on his face and I could see a small smirk forming on his lips. I turned away and closed my eyes for a moment trying to stay calm before opening them again. I sent both of them a hateful glare which made the chairman's features saddened and I stood up heading towards the door without a word.
"Angel, I believe the chairman has more to say." Oh, how I hated that stupid, victorious tone of his. I turned around quickly and gave him an ice look as I saw him sitting casually on the chair like he owned the place.
"So, you went to the chairman to tell him, what? that I was not kissing the way you walked like your other loyal dogs?"
"Angel!" The chairman was shocked but I ignored him, to furious to care about what he thought at the moment. I was angry with him too, calling me here so that he could scold me like a child infront of Kaname.
"I'm tired and I don't want to waste any more of my free time on something stupid like this. Goodnight."
I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me completely ignoring the chairman's calls. I quickened my steps towards the dorms in order to avoid any other 'unfortunate meetings' but the light footsteps behind me proved me once again that life was a bitch. I felt my body tremple with anger as I slowly turned around to face those brown eyes that were staring me with pure fury.
"You became a stalker now, besides being a momma boy?" I mocked him and I knew from the glint in his eyes that I did it. Sharp pain was spreading all over my back as I was slammed on the wall behind me and I let a moan of pain escape my lips. My eyes watered from the pain but that didn't help me drop my glare. Kaname pinned me on the wall with his body while his one hand was placed on the wall, inches away from my head.
"You've taking it too far, Angel. You have embarrassed me ifront of the rest of the Night Class. I won't let a mere human like you ruin my reputation just because I have given you privileges that others don't have." He hissed at me as his hot breath was hitting my face.
"Privileges? Care to enlighten me?" I said with pure sarcasm only to make him press me harder against the wall causing me to gasp in pain again.
"You and Yuki are the only ones that I allow to be close to me. Yuki seems to be thankfull for that, whereas you are taking advantage of this. You prefer to hang out with that hunter." Pure venom was drifting from his tone as he said the last part. "A lame excuse of a human." I smirked at that causing him to growl in anger. I was pushing my luck and I knew it but I loved seeing him like this.
"And let me guess, you are jealous of that 'lame excuse of a human'?" I let out a small laugh as I saw his expression darkening by each word but after a moment I saw him smirking down at me which caused me to throw him a suspicious look.
"And you think he is better than me?"
"Of course he is!" I exclaimed quickly as I felt my heart race with fear and uncertainty. As if sensing that, Kaname let out a chuckle before leaning closer to me until his lips were inches away from my ear.
"You don't seem certain, though...it's becaused you noticed, isn't it? The changes on his behavior...how he seems to avoid you all of a sudden and even being colder towards you than Yuki. And the fact that he stares at your neck like that makes me want to rip him into parts." My heart skipped a beat at his words. I couldn't believe it even though deep down I knew that all the signs were pointing towards that. But still, I felt fear for my friend and for some reason betrayal...
"How?" I felt lost at words and I titled my head to the side so the I could stare him dead in the eye.
"That night...when the chairman brought him to you. It was a pureblood that attacked his family..."
I stared at him in shock, whishing that all of this was a joke that Kaname was playing at me in order to get at me. But seeing the serious look on his face I felt minute by minute my world crushing down. My best friend, that I grew up with was having the worst fate of all vampires. A small bite of a pureblood to a human could make the second doomed in minutes. Because that person would slowly lose his sanity and his lust for blood will grow until he lost himself completely to the beast inside him. And Zero...he didn't say anything. He prefered to carry that burden alone.
"Zero..." I managed to whisper. Something warm and wet was running down my cheeks. Kaname pressed a kiss on my forehead before swipping away my tears but I pulled away from his touch and tried to push him away, but with no luck.
"And you knew. You and the chairman...and yet you didn't tell me nor Yuki!" I exclaimed with my voice getting louder and louder with each word.
"It was for your own good..." I didn't answer as more tears run down my cheeks. Kaname pulled me in his embrance and I chenched the front of his school uniform as I felt his arms wrap around me tightly.
"I'll speak to the chairman about moving Zero to the Night Class."
My eyes widened at that and I felt so much hate towards him as I shoved him away from me causing him to stare at me with a hurt look. How could he do something like this? If Zero moved there that would be the end of him. He hated vampires with passion and the fact that he was becoming one himself didn't make things better. So how could he even think about doing such thing?
"If you ever do something like that..." I couldn't find any more words. I felt so angry and wanted nothing else but to pierce him with my knives. My hands twiched at my sides where my vampire weapons were resting but I found the strength not to pull them out.
"It's for your protection. In the Night Class I will be able to control him."
"I won't let you do it! I t will destroy him! He already has to cope with the fact that he is becoming a vampire! Just because you are a heartless jerk doesn't mean that everyone else is like you!" I hissed at him causing him to narrow his eyes at me.
"If I don't do it now, you and Yuki might be in more danger than any other student of the Day Class. He might snap at any moment."
"He won't! I know Zero! He would never hurt me or Yuki. And when he turns to a vampire I will do anything to help him." I said with determination and Kaname's eyes narrowed more as he stepped closer to me until he trapped me again on the wall. He leaned his head until I felt his hot breath no the side of my neck, making me shiver.
"Even if he asked for your blood? Would you give it to him?" I didn't know what to say at that. Would I really got that far as to help Zero ease his thurst? "What about me? Would you give me your blood if i asked for it?" My eyes widened and I felt my whole body trembling but I couldn't manage to push him away even when I felt his lips brush against my neck in a soft kiss. I shivered in pleasure but with a small fear too, thinking that I was too vulnerable for him to shank his fangs on my neck. My mind was numb and I couldn't think at anything else except the way he nuzzled his face on my neck or the deep breaths he was taking. We stayed there for a moment until he placed another kiss on the soft skin before pulling away.
"Think about it." With that he was gone, leaving me alone on the dark corridor trying to catch my breath thinking about Zero and, mostly, about the certain pureblood...
