Thanks Hakuria Hitsugaya! Lol, thank you and it will be ready soon!
Thanks Yaoi-Obsessed Lonergirl! Thanks! And LOL! I am glad you liked that part!

I do not own Vampire Knight. If I did, then I would put in a nice perky character just as myself to stalk Aidou and keep setting him on blind dates with Kaname or Kain or Ichijo or Zero... Or Shiki!

Vampires Covered In Blood Are Prohibited From Entering This Fanfiction.


Chapter Six

As everyone made there way down the stairs, Aidou was tense. Any moment now he was going to ditch the others and go find Gina and Ichiro instead. Kain seemed to notice something was up because he kept asking if Aidou was OK and watching him closely. It would be hard to lose Kain but Aidou didn't exactly have a list of options.

It was pretty normal at first. They walked passed a thousand screaming fan girls. Listened to Yuki beg for people to calm down and Zero to show up, late as always, to scream at them until they either ran away in terror or just burst into tears there and then. The Night Class all walked away from them and made there way to the large building. Aidou was just about to go in when he remembered that this was not a normal day!

"Oh. Uh. I think I forgot something." Aidou lied, stepping back away from the others. He rose his hands and gave a bright smile, "I will meet you guys inside."

"Want me to come with?" Kain asked.

"Oh no, it's OK!" Aidou grinned, "I'll see ya in a minute."

He spun on the spot and ran back to the Moon Dorm. Most of the girls had gone now and those that were left were too busy giggling with each other on there way back to notice the blur dart passed them.

As he came to a stop outside the Moon Dorm, he took a breath and dumped his book inside quickly. Then he spun and made his way towards the spot he had left Gina and Ichiro just the other night.

They were not there when he came to a stop and looked around. He hid behind of a tree in case anyone happened to just look out and see him. Aidou leaned against a tree and rolled his head back, rubbing the back of his neck. There was a tight feeling in his stomach like his stomach was twisting round and round in knots.

"Hanabusa!" Gina gasped, appearing and running over. She threw herself on him, much like last time causing him to stumble back but he managed to stay on his feet this time. He let her wrap her arms around his neck and even gently patted her back purely because he had no idea what else to do.

"Stop acting like a baby!" Ichiro snapped, he grabbed the back of Gina's cloak, she was wearing the same creamy one with the hood that covered her whole body as last time, and pulled sharply, ripping her away from Aidou. Ichiro was wearing the same cloak and thrust a third on into Aidou's hand. "Put this on before we leave."

Aidou blinked and stared down at the cloak like it was a giant slug. "Why?"

"Because I said so!" Ichiro hissed, trying his best to keep his voice down. He was not used to someone questioning everything he said and he did not like it one bit.

"Why?" Aidou growled. He did not like being ordered around by anyone but Kaname.

"It is because the cloak's give us more freedome!" Gina jumped in, glancing back and forth between Ichiro. She knew they might lunge at each other and she did not want either of her brothers to get hurt. "And well, um, it helps our magic."

Ichiro scowled but said nothing more.

Aidou pulled the cloak up over his head, it fell down and covered his whole body, from his wrist to his ankles. His uniform was hidden from view and it did make him feel slightly more comfortable.

"When you have finished admiring yourself. We can go." Ichiro snapped.

"Yes." Aidou growled, he was getting pretty sick of Ichiro already.

"Then let's go." Ichiro said, "Hold hands again."

Aidou hesitated, but only for a moment before he reached over and took both Ichiro and Gina's hands. They stood there for a moment, in a circle. Nothing seemed to happen and Aidou blinked at the two.

"Um... Ichiro..." Gina said slowly, "I don't think Aidou realises what he has to do."

"Wait. I have to DO something?" Aidou blinked.

Ichiro sighed and let his head drop down in frustraition. Even Gina looked a bit like she could not believe he had just said that. They had a habbit of making him feel stupid. Like he had asked them what two plus two was. They didn't say anything for a moment, then Ichiro was angrily on him again.

"Just... Focus on giving us your power." Ichiro growled, glaring at him like it was his fault he didn't understand.

Aidou had no idea how he was supposed to do that. But he didn't get a chance to question it, and knew that Ichiro would just snap at him if he asked anyway. So he shut his eyes and tried to feel something. He felt a little warm but that was just because he was holding Ichiro and Gina's hands. It was their magic and their warmth that was spreading up his arms and through the rest of his body.

Just as Aidou was about to snap that they might as well tell him what to do because he was not finding anything, he felt something.

It wasn't much. Just a ice cold feeling that was flashing in some sort of code as if to tell him it was his. But at least it was something.

Then there was a lurch and Aidou leaned forward, almost like he was going to be sick. His eyes snapped open and he looked around. They were no longer outside of the Night Dorm. Instead they were on the edge of the cliff.

"What the hell?" Aidou gasped, eyes wide.

"What?" Gina blinked.

"That was..." Aidou failed to come up with a word that could describe just exactly what that was.

"Come on, we don't want to waste any time!" Ichiro snapped, grabbing Gina's wrist and Aidou's other wrist.

"Hey!" Aidou yelped but let himself be pulled.

They came to a stop around of a circle that seemed to have been drawn on the ground. It was right near the very edge of the cliff and the wind was blowing rather violently. Aidou felt his body tense and had a sudden nasty feeling that Ichiro planned to drag him over and throw him off the top. But then Ichiro let go and stepped on one edge, just outside the circle.

"Stand in a triangle outside the circle." Ichiro commanded.

Aidou and Gina did as told.

"Gina, you know what to do. Aidou... Just follow along and try not to screw up." Ichiro snarled.

Aidou scowled but nodded like Gina. The sooner he was done the sooner Ichiro could be gone!

They took hands once more and closed their eyes. Gina was somehow transmitting mind messages to Aidou, explaining in as much detail as she could of what he had to do. Aidou had to feel for poor Gina. To her and Ichiro the magic just came so naturally, it was like breathing, and how do you exactly explain breathing...

Aidou imagined the coversation in his head.

"OK. Breath in..."

"But how?"

"Just breath in, inhale."

"But how do I do it?"

"Aidou! Are you paying attention!" Ichiro snapped. "Stop smirking."

The smile that had formed on Aidou's lips from his pretend conversation dropped instantly and he scowled. He did not even bother to open his eyes. Instead he just gripped Ichiro's hand slightly tighter than he needed to.

"Now, are we all ready?" Ichiro asked aloud, ignoring the violent gesture.

"Yes." Gina whispered.

"Yeah yeah." Aidou sighed. "Can we just do this now?"

"If you are so smart then lets hurry up and get this done."

They all focussed together. Aidou heard Gina and Ichiro beginning to chant, mumbling under their breath. The magic began to flow instantly, through there hands, up and down, in and out of their bodies. It was warm and so powerful, like they could do anything in the world and just not care about any consequences because there where none. Because everything was so brilliant and perfect that there was nothing that could go wrong.

Aidou's heart hammered against his chest and he suddenly felt very light. It was warm but felt like he was flying and his skin was beginning to gather goosebumps up and down his arms but in a good way. The white cloak around him was beginning to wave in the wind and it tickled his ankles.

And then, just when Aidou was sure he was going to pass out from the light feeling in his head (not that he was complaining). There was a spark in his mind. A flash of a small lightly. Then a static filled his head, and a voice that sounded familiar but Aidou could not place it. The voice began to try and fill his head but it was very quiet and hard to hear over the static. The good feeling was leaving him as the static gave him a painful head ache.

Then the voice grew, only slightly, but the static still seemed to be covering most of it up.

"... No... More... Way... Have... Train... Can't... Hanabusa... Down..." the voice said, the static getting powerfully loud now. "Can... Hear..."

"I can't hear him..." Gina whispered, "What's going on... Why is he sounding weird?"

"I don't know. It worked with just Gina and me." Ichiro snapped.

"...Train... Work... Build... Train."

And then it all just dropped. As they were forced to let go of each others hands and fall back onto the ground everything felt wrong. The incredable feeling that had just been running through out his body left as sharply as it came. His heart felt like it was almost freezing inside of his chest, so tightly for a second he felt like he was going to faint then and there. The light feeling in his head came down hard and his head felt heavy with a powerful jolt snapping behind his eyes. The goosebumps on his once warm skin suddenly turned ice cold, even colder than Aidou was used to and he was sure he was going to get frost bite.

Then his stomach clenched and jolted. Rolling onto his front, Aidou tried to push himself up but his arms were so cold and stiff it was almost impossible to bend them. In the end he just left himself, lying on his front, keeping his head to the side so that when he eventually did gag up the small amount of food in his stomach, he was not completely lying in it.

Gina was gagging as well but she was able to stay on all fours and pant heavily without really bringing anything up. It was more like dry heaving. Ichiro was sitting, breathing deeply but otherwise he was OK.

When they were finished breathing, Ichiro stood and brushed himself down like nothing was wrong. Gina crawled over to Aidou and helped him up into sitting position. She used the sleeves of her robe to wipe away the nasty bile from Aidou's face and hair.

"Are you OK?" Gina whispered, her voice was rough and dry like she needed water but at least she could talk. All Aidou could do was shrug his shoulders weakly. "Ichiro, we need to do something, Aidou's sick."

"He'll get over it." Ichiro snorted, waving her worries away.

Gina blinked and looked back at Aidou as he gasped and moaned, staring up at the sky. That rush was brilliant but was it worth the horrible after effects at the end?

"Damn it, I can't see why that didn't work! We were all together! We couldn't even get a clear face of our father! Gina and I could do that! We should be even more powerful now that we have Aidou with us!" Ichiro shouted to no one.

"I don't know..." Gina whimpered.

"It must be him..." Ichiro snarled, turning angry eyes on Aidou who was just beginning to be able to sit up on his own and wipe his own mouth. Aidou leaned over and spat some more vomit from his lips, hoping to get as much out and clean the nasty taste from his gums.

Standing up, Ichiro ran at Aidou. Gina screamed and tried to get in between them but he shoved her hard, throwing her away towards of the cliff. She fell and just managed to claw on to the ground before she skidded off of the edge. Ichiro was on Aidou before he could defend himself.

Ichiro punched Aidou hard in the jaw. Aidou fell down to the ground as Ichiro lifted his foot and knocked Aidou hard on the shoulder once... Twice... He would have done it again if Gina was not on him, throwing him down to the ground.

"STOP IT!" Gina shrieked, she ran over and stood protectively in front of Aidou, arms stretched out to either side.

Aidou gasped and rolled over, his jaw was aching and now his shoulder felt like it had been dislocated. He had never been in so much pain, but it quickly began to ease away. Still it was not as fast as it normally should have been.

"Calm down!" Gina continued to shriek as Ichiro angrily made his way over, "You heard our father! We need to train!"

"What?" Ichiro blinked, stalling.

"You heard him! Train! Work! Build! Train! He wants us to train, build our powers, work at them and get stronger!" Gina gasped, she was crying and her nose was beginning to run. "Maybe it isn't Hanabusa, maybe it is just that when the three of us are together our power becomes one instead of three and they just are not as powerful as they are now. We need to work on them!"

Ichiro blinked and scowled. "We? No way."

"What do you mean?" Gina whimpered, sniffing and wiping her nose on the back of her hand.

"Not me. I am the most powerful of the group. But you two... Oh yes." Ichiro snorted. "You two are going to be the ones to train and build your magic. Especially blondie there! He's the worst of all!"

Aidou glared at him as he climbed back to his feet. He swayed from side to side but managed to balance.

"How though?" Gina blinked.

"Isn't it simple? Just work on the simple spells." Ichiro snorted, like it was obvious. "Work on things you know. That should build your magic up. It was how I did it. And when you get stronger, you should be able to make up a whole new spell of your own."

"But how?" Aidou shouted, his head gave a powerful thump but he ignored it, "I don't know the first thing about magic! I don't know how to do anything."

As Gina turned and opened her mouth, Ichiro was on her. He grabbed her arm and held tightly until she yelped, pinching her skin.

"Don't tell him. Let him work it out by himself." Ichiro snapped, he turned an icy cold glare on Aidou, "But if you don't. You'll regret it."

Aidou glared at him, but for once... He felt scared. He could feel the magic burning off Ichiro. Plus he was the only one practically un effected from using the magic, he didn't vomit or get weak. Ichiro was powerful. He could do things. Make Aidou do things. He was dangerous to cross, that explained why Gina did everything he asked without any real question.

"I will." Aidou growled.

"Good." Ichiro growled right back.

The two stared at each other for a moment when Gina gave a great sniff and brought their attention back to her.

"What now?" Gina whimpered.

"I have to go back." Aidou said immediately, "I can work on the magic quietly at home, but I can't let anyone get suspicious."

"Fine. Let's go back. You need to stay in the other dorm too, Gina." Ichiro held out his hand but Aidou took a sharp step away from him.

"No offence. But I've had my fill." Aidou whimpered. His stomach felt hot like he might throw up again. "I'll just take a cab."

"We are no where near the Academy." Ichiro hissed. "And you need the practice anyway. Just grab my hand and pay attention to what happens and how it feels. You won't be effected by this tiny bit of magic."

Aidou reluctantly stepped forward and took his hand. Gina took his other hand and they shut their eyes together. It was hard to pay attention to how it felt and what happened purely because it happened to quickly! The spark flashed almost the minute he thought of going home.

"OK. I am going to do some... business." Ichiro smirked. Pushing both of their hands away violently. "You two get stronger. I don't have a lot of patients. And I want to free our father..." He gave Aidou a look. Just daring the smaller boy to ask what business he had.

When Aidou stayed quiet and responded with only a glare, he turned and marched away from them towards of the main gates of Cross Academy. They watched him go for a while before Aidou turned and stared at Gina.

"Good riddance. He is such a dick." Aidou scowled.

Gina spluttered loudly. She covered her mouth with both hands to hide the laughter as he shoulder shook. She smiled up at Aidou and that smile seemed to change her whole appearance. She generally looked pretty, like a real beautiful vampire, when she smiled.

"You alright?" Gina asked.

"Yeah. Got a painful head ache but I will be fine." Aidou shrugged. "Where do you and Ichiro go?"

"Ichiro? No idea. I don't even know what this business of his is." she paused and whispered, "Don't worry. He's awful but he isn't stupid. He wouldn't go around killing willy nilly. Not if it means Kaname might get suspicious." she straightened up again. "And I go back to the dorm with the others. I stay by myself and no one seems to bug me because they are all pretty up their own ass." Gina said seriously. She blinked when Aidou burst out laughing but then smiled again, "So they leave me alone."

"Well at least there is that..." Aidou grinned.

"Hanabusa!" someone called.

Aidou looked up to see Ichijo was striding towards of him. He looked tired and was pink in the face by the time he reached them, he also looked confused and a little bit irritaited.

"Hanabusa! We've been looking all over for you! Kain was worried and Kaname's pretty annoyed too." Ichijo then just noticed Gina. He turned to smile at her. "Oh. Hello, you're the girl from the other day, aren't you? Genna?"

"Gina." Gina mumbled, blushing. She bowed her head low and stood up. "I should go. Thank you for talking to me about the school Aidou. It seems so fascinating. I will have to consider coming here very seriously."

Then she turned and ran off, waving at him while she moved. The dorm was not very far away but she forced herself to skip more than run so it took a while before she was gone from view.

"Well that was weird. So you're convincing people?" Ichijo asked.

"Yeah." Aidou shrugged, smiling like he was proud of himself.

"... What are you wearing?" Ichijo blinked.

Aidou blinked and looked down. He froze and blushed to see he was still wearing the creamy robe. Just like Gina had been when she ran off. They must have looked a right pair dressed like that, hiding in the woods together. He looked up and smiled weakly. "New fashion statement?"

"Drop it." Ichijo nodded, "That will never work out. Come on, we should get back to class. You're lucky you were talking to a girl about joining Cross Academy. Otherwise Kaname would have probably slapped you again." He grinned. "Mind you that is always entertaining to watch."

"Yeah..." Aidou mumbled, quite miserably as he pulled his robe off over his head and shoved it into a small ball under his arm.

That was all the attention he ever got from Kaname.
