Chapter 7- My sensei, Toga Yagari
HI! I'm so sorry for not updating but I was just lazing around watching Phi Brain ;D. And now I'm really hooked into doing puzzles! I hope you enjoy reading!
Zero- You know you'll never be as good as Kaito right?
Random- I KNOW THAT! But Unblock me is actually really fun!
Reina- IT'S SO HARD!
Random- Heh, you're just not as good as me!
Kaito- I already solved 200 in a minute.
Reina and Random-...
I do not own Vampire Knight, Matsuri Hino does and I do not won Phi Brain which is owned by Mayori Sekijima!
" How the hell was I captured?"
I was sitting miserably with an exhausted and irritated Toga. He was glaring down my back and I don't think I can escape again.
" Because you were trying to go and kick my ass," Zero explained, standing next to me. I glared at him before holding my katana.
" Kano, you're the only one who understands me," I cried, stroking the katana which let me summon Kano without possibly dying. Everyone looked at me weirdly and I stuck my tongue out at them.
" You wouldn't understand anything!" I exclaimed, holding the katana protectively. The Headmaster coughed to break the weird tension in the air and I wore a grin.
" I hate you, brat," huffed Toga, still kneeling in exhaustion. I smirked and tossed my hair like that stupid diva, Ruka, did.
" You're just too old and slow, geezer," I said, laughing, " I can outrun you any day."
He glared at me and I just smirked victoriously.
" You were just captured Reina, I don't see how you can be so smug about it," Zero said. I puffed my cheeks out and huffed, turning my head away from Zero.
" Maybe if you'd HELP me, I would've escaped," I retorted. Yuki looked at the weird display in front of her. A Reina who was protectively holding a katana and stroking it, an annoyed Zero and an exhausted Toga.
" Um, Reina, do you know Yagari-sensei?" asked Yuki. Wait. Why is everyone calling him sensei today? Is he taking on multiple students? For what? Wait a minute…..
" YOU BECAME A TEACHER AT MY SCHOOL?!" I asked, laughing my ass off. OH GOD! He was such a bad teacher back when Zero, Ichiru and I were under his care. So impatient, always calling us brats.
" Yeah, I got a teaching certificate," Toga grumbled. I laughed even harder.
" YOU COULDN'T TEACH FOR YOUR LIFE!" I laughed out, holding my ribs. And then he whacked me hard on the head. OOOOWWWWWWIIIIIIEEEEEE.
" Sorry," I mumbled, holding my head which had a massive bump, " but seriously, what kind of teacher are you?"
" An Ethics lecturer."
" I THOUGHT YOU KNEW NOTHING ON PHILOSOPHY?!"
" WELL NOW I DO!"
" DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU BARELY KNOW WHAT 1+1=?!"
" HOW DOES MATH HAVE TO DO WITH PHILOSOPHY, AND IT'S 2!"
" WRONG, IT'S A WINDOW!"
" Um, Zero, have they always been like this?" Yuki asked, looking nervously at Zero.
" Yep, Reina and Master would always argue over small things," sighed Zero, " and in time, I got used to it."
" Yeah, when we were kids, he was our master," I explained, mid argument with Toga, " he was a pain in the ass."
" YOU'RE THE ONE WHO MADE TROUBLE ALL THE TIME!"
" NOT MY FAULT YOU'RE SO GULLIBLE!"
" I AM NOT GULLIBLE YOU BRAT!"
" YEAH, AND GULLIBLE IS WRITTEN ON WALL BEHIND YOU!"
" Wait, what?" asked Toga, turning around. I busted out laughing, pointing at Toga.
" YOU REALLY ARE GULLIBLE!"
"SHUT UP!"
" Reina, don't you have a class to attend to in the Night Class?" asked Kaien, nervously. I looked at him in shock.
" BUT IT'S BEEN A WEEK!"
" Reina, you've only been there for a few days."
" WELL, LIVING WITH KANAME FEELS LIKE IT'S A WEEK!"
" Reina, please go to class."
" No."
" Reina."
" No."
" Just go, please."
" No."
Headmaster ran a hand through his hair and I fist pumped in victory.
" You promised a week."
" No, I said when the commotion died down, and the commotion has died down," I said, grinning... Okay, maybe I did say a week and I will continue to stay at the Night Class until everything has calmed down but you know, why not just speed the process along?
" You just went into a big fight with your family, I don't see how that's called calming down," Zero pointed out. ZERO! YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE ON MY SIDE!
" Pfft, they won't bother me for a while," I said, waving a dismissive hand in the air. The Headmaster looked at me straight in the eye and I backed down.
" Fine, you're all assholes for forcing me though!" I exclaimed, " I HOPE THAT HAUNTS YOU!"
They all just gave looks of ' I don't care' and I went back to sulking with Kano in my arms.
At night, I sat on a desk in the classroom and ate some chocolate. Hmmm, they must be coming soon in three, two, one. A whole bunch of vampires came through the doors like they were some super models. All of them looked pretty, ravishingly even. With their long stylish hair, their pale skin and elegant ways. I looked at my calloused hands from kendo practice, the tan I was starting to form, my weird sense of clothing and my rain drop earring that really stood out from my outfit. Fuck being a super model, I look fabulous anyway!
" Ugh, why are you in our class?" Aido asked, glaring at me. I gave him the middle finger and tapped my katana.
" Careful Aido, I just got a new katana and I am dying to try it out on someone who gets on my nerves," I warned, grinning evilly. He backed down and sat far away from me. Oh hey it's Akatsuki!
" Heyo Aka!" I exclaimed cheerfully. Akatsuki was too much to say for me. He nodded in acknowledgement. I grinned and swung an arm around his shoulders.
" Ditch Aido and come with me!"
" What?!" exclaimed Aido, " since when were you best buddies?!"
" Since the day I became friends with him," I said, " duh."
" Reina."
Oh shit. The lord of ' I am super awesome and I like Yuki' has arrived. I turned to him with irritation and gave him a ' I hate you' look.
" Please return to your seat," Kaname said, smiling while holding a book. He was standing as well, he sure wasn't being a role model.
" You hypocrite, you're standing," I said, " so 'please return to you seat'."
I felt heated glares from everyone except for the awesome Aka! Amazing, awesome sauce. Now that I think of it….
" You remind me of Kano!" I exclaimed, pointing to Aka. He gave me a questionable look and sweatdropped.
" Whose this ' Kano', you speak of?" asked Ruka. I looked at her impassively and held my katana.
" Someone obviously too awesome for you."
Ruka gasped and swatted her hair behind her back and huffed off to Kaname's side.
Akatsuki was looking at Ruka in a sad, but loving way. No way, he liked that bitch?!
" Aka, she's too bitchy for you!" I whispered to him, " you're too nice to be with someone like her!"
" Reina, she's actually quite nice if you got to know her," Aka protested. I scoffed and sat next to him, combing my hair.
" Yeah, and I'm a natural blonde."
" I just, know I'll never have a chance with her," sighed Aka, " she's way out of my league and she adores Kaname."
" Excuse me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow and giving a ' oh no you did not' look.
" I will have no friend degrading themselves in front of me!"
" But…"
" Akatsuki Kain, you are an amazing person for the past few days I've met you," I sternly said, " if anything, you're out of Ruka's league and she's the one missing out on such an amazing person!"
He looked at me while I glared at Ruka's back. I hate her. What does Aka deserve to be ignored like that?
" Right, you and me are going to town and I'm going to make you forget about your weird infatuation with Ruka," I said, " and I will use any means necessary to get us out of here."
" Um, I don't think that's possible with you," Aka said, " you would get us into a lot of trouble."
" Pfft, it's fine, we'll just sneak out of here!" I said, " and besides, the Headmaster loves me!"
" Alright class, settle down."
Oh wait, what? That voice, that gruff tone, the eye patch and messy dark brown hair. Shit.
" I am Toga Yagari, your new ethics lecturer," Toga said, his book on his shoulder in a casual way.
" Toga Yagari, that's the name of the current top vampire hunter in the world," a vampire whispered, glaring. Heh heh, well I'll just sneak out of the window if you don't mind.
" Reina, what the hell are you doing?"
" I, uh, am going to water the gardens!" I said, laughing nervously. He gave a sceptical look before sighing.
" Sit down, I don't want to go and run after you," he said, growling, " you have caused me enough stress already."
" You know you love me!" I exclaimed, giving him a wink while I sat down next to Aka.
" You know him?!" whispered Aka. I nodded and grinned.
" He's an annoying old fart who can't even run after his own student!"
" I heard that Reina."
" You were suppose to."
" Reina, we will not have an argument in the middle of a class."
" You're the one starting it."
" Reina."
" Toga."
"….."
I grinned and folded my arms triumphantly. He sighed in frustration before standing at his desk, placing the book down casually.
" Why hello, Toga Yagari," Kaname taunted, " is there any vampires here that are on the execution list?"
" Unfortunately, my list is empty," Toga said, just as calmly, " but if you fall asleep because my lecture is too boring, you might be on it."
" Well, then, there's going to be a lot of killing tonight," I mumbled, " but if you had to kill someone, kill Aido or Kaname!"
" Shut up you brat," growled Toga. I gave an innocent face and looked in fake surprise.
" What are you talking about?" I asked, " I will be very interested in your lecture sir."
Toga sighed while I only grinned deviously. Well this is going to be an interesting lesson. I started to swing on my chair as well as eating my chocolate. Then, after Toga was talking about boring stuff, I was getting restless.
" Do, a deer, a female deer," I sang, " re, a drop of golden sun!"
" Me, a name, I call myself," I sang happily, " fa, a long away to run!"
" Reina, please be quiet," Toga hissed, an irritated look on his face.
" Wait, do, re, me, fa, so!" I counted on my fingers. I couldn't really remember music theory. Sucked at it completely. Loved this song though! I also sucked at drawing. Really anything to do with creative produces like drawing, art, music, sculpting and drama! My singing could be considered okay but…..
" PAY ATTENTION REINA!"
" SHUT UP OLD MAN!"
" YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE LISTENING TO ME!"
" WELL YOU'RE BORING!"
" Reina, please calm down and listen to the teacher," said Aka, trying to soothe me. I huffed in defiance while I sat in a huff in a my seat. Toga looked at me in annoyance before starting again with his lecture.
After the classes were finished, I started to realise something. Wait, I FORGOT ABOUT KENDO! Argh, I am so screwed. Training was today! Uh oh, Rin's going to murder me. I dashed out of the door, to find Rin so I could apologise.
" Reina."
" What, I'm kind of in a rush?" I asked, glaring. I really didn't want to be killed by Rin.
" You might want to check on Zero."
… As Toga gathered his books I stood at the door. I stepped towards him and grabbed his collar.
" What. The. Fuck. Did you do to Zero?" I hissed.
" You may not have realised but I was doing my job as a vampire hunter," said Toga, " and you should know this to, Reina Izumo."
" DON'T BULLSHIT ME!" I yelled, " HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN STUDENT?!"
" No student of mine is a vampire," Toga calmly replied, " and no student of mine will mope in a room waiting for his pitiful death."
I punched Toga in the face but he managed to catch my fist.
" WHERE IS HE?!"
" What, you're taking pity on a Level E?" asked Toga, looking at me with cold eyes.
" You of all people should know what happens to people who try to hurt my family," I hissed. No one was in the classroom but as I stood in front of Toga with an angry glare, I felt like the whole world was watching me. Was it because Toga was like family to me? Was it because really, he was the one who taught me everything and was like a father to me? I would hate to hurt Toga, but Zero was my main priority at the moment.
" Oh, I know, but you of all people should know that vampires bring nothing but despair," Toga retorted. Memories of the kids at the orphanage, Hiro being killed, The Kiryus being murdered, Ichiru. He hit a soft spot. Ichiru was my top priority with Zero when we were kids. I clenched my hand around his collar and glared.
" Tell me where he is or I won't hesitate to fight you."
" You're going to fight me, your own Master who taught you everything?"
" I'll take on the world if it means keeping those dear to me safe."
He was silent for a moment before swatting my hand from his collar.
" He's in a guest room of the Headmaster's private area," Toga finally answered. I quickly ran to the area, hurrying to see of Zero is okay. I ran like the wind and found Zero gloomily standing in the room.
" Hey Zero," I said. He grunted in acknowledgement and I frowned. I stepped towards him but he pushed me outside.
" Not now Reina."
Ooooohhhh, he did not just say that. One thing I hated was people telling me to mind my own business when it's obviously my business.
" No, Mr Kiryu, I am coming in, right now," I retorted, but he pushed me back again.
" I'm disgusting," he whispered painfully, " I almost bit Yuki when you ran off to find your family."
That's weird, he seem fine a while a go. Am I failing as his protector, is there something I am not seeing?
" You are not disgusting Zero," I said firmly, " in fact, you're one of the most amazing people I've met."
" Don't say that Reina," said Zero, " don't think so highly of me when I'm only some vile creature."
" And who made that judgement?" I snapped back. How dare he think I would even think like that?!
" Reina, please leave."
" Why are you even listening to that old fart anyways?" I asked. Toga must've placed those horrible thoughts into Zero's head.
" You know why, he saved my life," answered Zero, sighing. Ah, the time when Toga lost his eye. Ichiru was sick so we took him to the Nurse's office, who was really nice. But she was a Level E and attacked us. Toga saved us but in the process, he lost his eye.
" Sure, you should be grateful, but that doesn't mean you have to follow every single thing he says," I snapped. Zero was starting to close the door on me but I held the door in place.
" You know what I think, Zero, you're giving up."
" So what if I am?"
" DAMMIT ZERO!" I yelled, " you deserve a long life and I'm here to make sure you do!"
" I can't stand it when you're in pain!" I exclaimed, " and I can't stand it when you're trying to hide your burdens with me!"
" Please don't give up on life Zero," I begged, slumping against the door, " don't run away from me."
He stood at the door, turning his head away in a guilty expression. I marched my way in and he let me.
" Then don't hide anything from me," Zero softly replied, " I can tell, because the Headmaster and you are always talking privately."
I stood dumb founded at the door. Well, I could risk it. Tell him I'm going to die very soon, I've already accepted my fate, he, probably throwing a tantrum, then going all grouchy on me and hating me for the rest of the time I have on earth. Or I could lie to him and everything will be alright.
" Well, about that…"
" Reina, tell me."
" I…"
Shit. What's a good enough, realistic excuse? Oooohh, I know!
" I have to kill Kaname."
That's pretty realistic. I hate Kaname enough and Kaname could be portrayed as evil.
" Reina," Zero said, glaring, " Headmaster and Kaname are friends, why the hell would the Headmaster want you to kill Kaname?"
Well, that didn't work.
" I am secretly an undercover agent from the government."
" Reina, the truth."
" I FOUND A RAIN GOD!"
" Reina!"
Um…, dammit, I'll just used that as an excuse!
" I am working for the Hunter Association already and have been for the last year."
Zero gave me a horrified look and I looked at my feet. Dammit, I really didn't want to use this but if I have to I will!
" Reina, that's way too early to start working for the Hunter Association!?"
" I know, I just wanted to do something."
" YOU COULD BE KILLED!" yelled Zero.
" Well, let's make sure that won't happen," I replied. Well, is he's going to react to me being a vampire hunter already like this, I would hate to know what he'd do if he finds out I'm dying a pretty early death.
" Jeez Reina, I want you out of the association right now!" hissed Zero. I whipped around and gaped at him.
" You can't tell me what to do!"
" If it's for your safety I will!"
" We're both going to be in the Hunter Association soon enough anyways!"
" You're risking your life out there!"
" Yeah, for the greater good!"
We both stood there, glaring at each other. I huffed and crossed my arms.
" You're lucky I told you this," I grumbled, " but now I seriously regret it."
" I was going to find out anyway," retorted Zero. Lightning zapped between our eyes as we had a stare off. Finally, Zero sighed and turned away.
" Well at least you've told me now," he said. I nodded in satisfaction and gave a small smile.
" Exactly, and I haven't been doing any jobs for a while."
Zero looked at me suspiciously and narrowed his eyes.
" How many jobs do you do during a week?"
" Well, uh, that's confidential information," I stuttered. Dammit, if I tell him I usually do a job every two days he's going to kill me. Zero glared at long and hard and I started to nervously sweat profusely.
" I won't push you to answer me but if you come back from a mission with even just a scratch, I am talking to the Hunter's Association to put you out," Zero said. I had a feeling that if I argued with Zero on this, I would be in serious trouble. So I just nodded quickly and looked out the window to avoid an awkward atmosphere. Is it just me, or do I sense something dangerous? I widened my eyes as I saw a glint.
" DUCK!"
I brought his head down as an arrow flew through the window. The arrow scraped my arm and I hissed in pain. The arrow, was made completely of metal. I narrowed my eyes as I held the arrow. Only one person has ever fired such a strong arrow at me before.
" Zero, hide in the bathroom," I ordered, standing up. He looked at me in disbelief before shaking his head.
" No, I'm not leaving you," he stubbornly said. I glared at him as I took my katana out.
" I am deadly serious Zero," I said. He stood up and took his Bloody Rose out.
" And so am I," he replied, clicking his gun as he loaded it with a cartridge.
" You don't even know who you're going against!" I exclaimed, water swirling around my katana. He smirked as the chain on his Bloody Rose shone in the moon light.
" If he's an enemy of yours, he's an enemy of mine."
I shook my head in disbelief as I opened the window that had already been shattered.
" Then you better keep up with me then," I retorted, jumping out and onto the ground expertly. Multiple cloaked figures were standing around with weapons. Heh, the Izumo Clan.
" You really want to go against me, in my own home?" I asked, twirling my sword in the air. A cloaked figure nodded, holding his bow.
" Your father desperately wants you and he told me to use any method."
" Well then, Ryu, I'll just show you how wrong you are for going against me," I said. Zero jumped next to me and glared at the figures.
" Why do you have to make so much trouble?" he asked. I shrugged and grinned deviously.
" I may have been at disadvantage at the house," I casually said, " but here, you're in our territory now."
I lunged forward, swinging my sword. Ryu blocked it with his bow, but he stumbled from the force of the blow. I used this as an opportunity to kick him in the stomach. As he laid on the ground, the other attackers hesitated.
" What, you scared because I could knock your leader down so easily?" I asked mockingly, " well you should've come prepared since the last time you faced me."
Zero pointed his gun at the general direction of the figures, who stepped back. Well, you wouldn't expect an average student to carry around a gun would you? But luckily, Zero wasn't any ordinary student.
" Why does father want me back?" I asked, tilting my sword as I pointed it to his neck.
" That's confidential information," he replied, calmly. I narrowed my eyes as I gritted my teeth.
" So it's confidential to the person you're asking for help?" I asked. I laughed bitterly and placed a hand over my eyes.
" That's completely stupid," I said, " and so I'm asking you again before I lose my patience, why does he want me back?"
I edged my sword closer to his neck, drawing blood. Ryu nervously looked away from my face and then sighed in defeat.
" He hasn't told me everything but what I do know is that he wants to sell you to another family," Ryu replied.
Silence. I gave him a questionable look with a disbelieving smile.
" Sell?" I asked, " he's got enough money for the rest of his life!"
" Not money, but something else entirely," Ryu said, " something that both your parents have been aspiring for a long time."
" What?" I hissed. To sell your own daughter whom you've abandoned. That's only what the lowest of the low would do.
" I don't know," Ryu answered. I looked at him long and hard before withdrawing my sword.
" So now that you've told me, what are you going to do?" I asked. He stood up and all of the figures readied with their weapons once more.
" I don't want to hurt you Reina," he said, " but you've lost your chance."
" You saw how easily I put you down, you don't stand a chance against me."
Suddenly, he lunged at me with his bow and to my shock, the point of it stabbed my in the arm. It was a blade that was molded into the bow. I felt dizzy and looked at my arm.
" What was on that blade?" I hissed, looking at my bleeding arm.
" Poison," replied Ryu. I gritted my teeth and took a fighting position. My vision was getting hazy. I charged and we were in a furious battle. He expertly dodged my attacks, which were now sloppy and amateur like.
" I am not your father's top bodyguard for nothing," Ryu simply said. I growled and kept on attacking him. Metal against metal. Me against my cousin. I swung my sword to his head and he ducked, before tripping me. I stumbled and he caught me in his arms.
" I'm surprised you've lasted this long," he said, " most would've fallen unconscious by now."
In a feeble attempt, I swung my sword but he simply knocked it out of my hands with his metal bow. I tried to push him away but he kept a firm grip on me.
" WAIT!"
I looked to see Yuki running with the Headmaster. I smiled weakly as the attackers looked at Kaien in shock.
" Kaien Cross, one of the greatest vampire hunters of time."
" I didn't know he ran this school?!"
" I knew this was a stupid idea, I can consider taking a mage with all of us here but I'm out if we're going against Kaien Cross."
" Yeah."
As they whispered, Ryu widened his eyes in shock as Kaien looked at him seriously.
" Reina is like a daughter to me, I will not tolerate it if she gets hurt," he said. I had seen him serious before, but Yuki looked surprised at the usual hyper and go lucky man. Ryu shook his head and held me close in his arms.
" Reina is needed by my Master," Ryu said, " and I plan to follow my orders."
" I'll tell you once more," Kaien sternly said, " leave this Academy now, I do not want to see this precious place of mine tainted by people such as yourselves."
Ryu looked at me in his arms and then looked at his scared men. They were shaking in fear of angering the legendary vampire hunter, and some had even run away.
" Give back Reina," Zero hissed, pointing his gun at Ryu's head. He glared at Ryu long and hard, clenching his hand around his gun tightly. Ryu looked at me and I glared at him, though it was a pretty feeble attempt since I was half poisoned.
" I have the antidote to the poison, I will have to take her so I can treat her," Ryu replied, smirking slightly. I scoffed and kept on futilely trying to get out of his arms. Idiot, I'm going to die soon so what does it matter? Zero clicked his tongue in frustration and lowered his gun. Ryu smirked more triumphantly and turned his back.
" Good bye, Zero Kiryu."
I looked at the worried look on Yuki's face and Zero's pained expression before falling unconscious.
PLEASE REVIEW! :D
