I knock on his door silently. No answer. I knock again. No answer. I knock harshly. No answer. I don't blame him much, but it hurts. It's like when that woman said my horns were 'gross' in the orphanage. I mean, I have feelings! I'm not stone! Or am I? I sigh and start to walk away when the moonlight shines over a dark figure. It's Zero in his uniform. I glance at my watch. CR*P I'm supposed to be on patrol today! I run out. If he catches me, then it's going to lead to some mushy-gooey love fest of apologies or something! I run as fast as I can and when someone grabs my wrist, I shoot out my vectors, but something holds them back. I glare back and gasp; a long piece of white doll ribbon. My vectors disappear and the ribbon drops, but I doubt my captor can see it. I turn to said captor to see Yuki, looking almost…sympathetic…through her friendly smile.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asks. "You disappeared on us."
I sigh. How am I going to explain this? "Look, can I go to my dorm and get dressed for patrol?"
She glances down and back up. She flicks my forehead and I spread my arms in that 'what the He**' way. She giggles. "You're already dressed, Lucy. I'm making sure you're awake."
I glance down and she's right. Wow, I'm used to being home and being in some night clothes all day when I'm…me…since I usually slept all day after chores and dinner, or remained in the house with Kota, Yuka, Nana, Mayu, and Wonta, the small puppy that keeps Mayu company. Ah, I miss those days. I nod and she rests a hand on my shoulder. "What?" I ask.
"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?" she sighs.
I blink and jerk my shoulder away. "Maybe tomorrow, but we have a duty to do first."
She nods.
^.^ O_o
Mixed emotions, that's it. I'm not sure if this is getting harder each day or what, but in a game of thirty levels, depending on the game, they're all the same, right? I mean, if it's online and you're upgrading a character, it's just experience or things you've done, right? If I apologize ten times, I'm already mastered to tell you the truth. I sigh and tap my fingers. It's Friday, both classes. I walk around the room and Yuki comes in, seeing me in my uniform, pacing, and in my thinking phase (you can tell). She sighs and Yuka follows, both smiling lightly. I stop and stare.
"What?" I raise a brow.
Yuka shuts the door. It's creepy how both have brown hair and eyes, pale skin, and are the same F*CKING height, you know? It's like they're sisters, except one gets jealous easy. "What's wrong?" Yuka sighs.
I blink. Oh yeah, I was supposed to tell Yuki that. Well, Yuka's another living soul I can come to, so I sigh and sit on the bed. "I want to apologize to Zero, but I can't."
"Hit your head," Yuki suggests.
I smirk. "Not a bad idea, but no thank you," I chuckle. "Yuka, do you have any less painful suggestions?"
She thinks about it and snaps her fingers. "You could try chat room!"
Yuki laughs. "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Because you were trying to be silly," I point out.
She rolls her eyes amused and opens the door. "I have an account, so I have a computer."
"What about a monitor?" I ask.
She rolls her eyes. "Of course, it'd be useless if I didn't."
I smirk with humor and follow Yuka out, Yuki shutting the dorm door behind her. We walk down the hall, the clomping of our shoes enough to get me jumpy. Branches tapping on windows, the moon full, it's like a horror movie, except the real horror now is trying to apologize to someone, so maybe a horror movie spoof? I shrug to myself and stop as Yuki tries to open her door. She knocks and no answer comes through. I try my hand at it; it's stuck. I use a vector to open it and I end up snapping the knob off. I gulp and try to fix it normally, but that fails miserably. Yuka sighs and runs into the door, the door flying open without its knob. Yuki and I exchange quick glances and shrug, so I toss the knob on her bed and Yuki sets me down on a desk chair past the wall next to the door. A mirror is hanging to the left of the desk, a cabinet to the right. The desk isn't large, and neither is the computer or the monitor, but it works. Yuki gets to chatting thing started up and I now stare at some info thing. I'm suddenly reminded of a dating site and stare back at Yuki and Yuka, both on the floor in front of Yori's bed (Yuki's dorm mate).
"Please tell me this is a chat room and not a dating site," I groan.
They nod. "It's just a questionnaire and a sign up," they say in unison.
Creepy, I tell you that now. I sigh and look back at it.

I blink. Who uses SmexyFlexy8 as a username? I sigh and try to determine who's who. Yuki and Yuka come up. Yuki's FAGGOTRADER553 because she thought it was funny. Yuka I know already. I'm still wondering if Zero's Emo-Deliro84 or not. I click done, since I can't determine anyone else! I come up to the next step.
5. Avatar
I tilt my head and take out my camera, flipping to the picture of Nana and I, just relaxing. Well, the 'I' is Nyuu, so…Our faces are covered with those bird cookies, Nyuu waving at the camera with a decapitated cookie. I smile and realize we're on a park bench, so we have hats on. I smile and offer the camera to Yuki.
"Is there a way to get that as the 'avatar'?" I ask, a bit of hope in my voice.
Truth be told, I never really wanted to hurt Nana, I just didn't want her to butt into my Death Sentence. As the days rolled by that time, we got along better. She even missed me that one time. Yuki smiles and does her computer magic, the picture appearing in three sizes on the screen. Yuka smiles and pats my shoulder. I feel at the cap. No bleeding yet gladly. After the avatar is done, I'm done and it enters me into the chat room.
Imaginaryhead1985: Logged on.
Kota'sGF4EVER: Hi imaginaryhead1985!
I turn to Yuka to see both on those portable laptops. I roll my eyes and smirk.
Imaginaryhead1985: Is anyone else on?
ChickMagnet47: Hello! ^.^
Imaginaryhead1985: …Uh…
FAGGOTRADER553: Don't pay attention to him. He's weird.
ChickMagnet47: :-(
I laugh at that. Imaginaryhead1985: LOL. (I'm not present dead) Hey, is anyone else here? ChickMagnet47 seems like…I don't know…a stalker.
Limibitisky74: No, NIGHTCLASSHOVERSTALKER2 and NIGHTCLASSSTALKERHOVER2 are the stalkers of the chatting area.
Imaginaryhead1985: Oh.
Freaksingledout1:3: Hey, UR new aren't u?

ScrewedDuo21: Logged on.
Freaksingledout1:3: Oh, u.
ScrewedDuo21: WHT?
Imaginaryhead1985: Aren't we a bit touchy today, mister?
ScrewedDuo21: STFU
Limibitisky74: Be nice, jerk, she's new.
Imaginaryhead1985: Hey…can I ask how this 'avatar' thing works?
Limibitisky74: Oh, you click on somebody's name and the picture comes up with info.
Imaginaryhead1985:…Oh CR*P.
Okay, so that's what the info thing was for.
Imaginaryhead1985: LOL, but how do you change info?
ChickMagnet47: Why?
I blink at the screen. Imaginaryhead1985: Reasons.
Freaksingledout1:3: I read it, and I think it's actually funny in a way.
I smile. Imaginaryhead1985: Yeah, if u say so.
Limibitisky74: Why? What did u put?
Imaginaryhead1985: Read it, it's weird.
ChickMagnet47: I finished. Hey, why is 'Do You Have A Crush' blank?
Imaginaryhead1985: Really?
I click on ChickMagnet47 and gap; it's Aido from Night Class. How could I not see that? I click on ScrewedDuo21 and smile slightly. This is Zero, which I can tell from the answers. Apparently they ask different questions at different times to different people.
Do you have a lot of friends?
Screw you, it's none of your business
Do you like sports?
No.
Do you like Fantasy books?
No.
What's the most common thing you say?
No.
Do you have a crush?
Slight.
Yeah right! Have you dealt with death?
Are you homosexual?
NO!
Do you have a diary?
That's like asking if I'm homosexual with different F*CKING words.
Do you have any siblings?
…One.
Who's your best friend?
She's dead.
I blink and go back to some argument between Aido and Limibitisky74. I sigh and start typing.
Imaginaryhead1985: Hey, ScrewedDuo21, why didn't you answer #6?
No answer.
Imginaryhead1985: I mean, you already answered it on #10, so what's the point?
Everything's silent. After a bit of hesitation, he speaks.
ScrewedDuo21: F*CK off.
I freeze. I sigh and slam my finger on the sign off. I stand and walk out. I don't care if I get in trouble, I'm apologizing verbally even if it F*CKING kills me. I shove out the dormitories building and storm to the boys', twisting the knob angrily and stomping in. I count up the numbers and start scaling the stairs, when I see Zero, annoyed with a net book. Strange…shouldn't he be in his dorm? I think to myself. Yet again what isn't a thought here? I try to take another step, but something chimes out the window, but I think only I can hear it. Yep, I'm crazy. Despite that, my mind tells me to squint, so I do so and see something…a collection of golden festival bells? I loose all feelings in my legs, and I fall back, tumbling all the way. I slam my head hard on the rail, and all goes back for both Nyuu and me.
O.0
"Kaede!" someone calls. "Look what I found!"
A younger me, four, is sitting on a rock, jingling the collection of bells that chimes. The breeze is light, and my cap is small, my little pink hair fully covered. I turn to a little girl, my age, with the same length of white hair and big, and I mean BIG, red eyes bigger than her stomach. She's pale and she's wearing a little white shirt, a pink tutu, and black torn leggings. Cute, may I admit, but revealing that she's my sister by guess. She presents a boy, holding him by the hood of his jacket. He's my age, and struggling. She hugs him and I raise a brow, giggling (never thought I could).
"Level, put him down."
"Oh, can't we keep him?" she begs, squeezing the living daylights out of him.
He huffs and pushes her arms away, or tries. "MOMMY!"
A woman with a brown ponytail comes over, her brown shirt and jeans just right on her tan skin and her smile welcoming. "Ichiru, I think somebody has a fancy for you."
Ichiru stops, turning his head of silver hair to his mother. "What does 'has a fancy' mean?"
I stand and start prying Level off, Level kicking and screaming. A woman with light crimson hair near pink comes over, her hair a bob to her chin and her eyes light brown. She's pale, wearing a sky-blue T with black dress pants and some gray boots. "I'm sorry, but my daughter Level is one for living beings."
Level and I turn to her. "MOMMY!" we scream, running to hug her calves.
Another boy comes out, behind a man with silver hair. The boy peeks out to reveal himself looking the exact same as Ichiru, his silver hair down above his brows and his BIG violet orbs bigger than Level's (if possible). I wave and smile kindly. "Hi, my name's Kaede!"
"Hi…" he ducks behind the man a bit. "I'm Zero."
The two mothers smile and look at each other. "So, you're also a vampire hunter," they say in unison.
O.O
WHAT? WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, DOUBLE WHOA! Are you saying my mom's a F*CKING vamp hunter? Well, you're not, but this…vision apparently, is! HOLY SH*T! THE MOTHER OF THE QUEEN OF DICLONIUS IS A VAMP HUNTER! I open my eyes weakly with a sigh. I can't change myself anymore than I have I guess. I feel someone shake me roughly and I look up to Zero. I blink tiredly and my mouth opens slightly with weakness to keep it closed. I let my head drop to the left and I see someone running down the hall; Yuki, Ruka, Aido, and several other vampires. I grip something and push my head to the right to see what I'm exactly clutching; Zero's hand. I shut my eyes.
"Sorry."
Blood trickles down my face and into my mouth sickly. I drop all control.
