Wil: Good afternoon Readers. Well, this is the second chapter re-write, and I have to say, I like this addiction better already. I have some important stuff to speak with you about after though. I am also sorry it took so long to post this chapter, but you know me; I suck at updating on time. Plus school just started on Tuesday-the sixth- and I had to wait until I could post, because I am starting Grade 10, and am in a new program called O2. Is their any O2 goers reading? If their is, how is it? Do you like it?
Disclaimer: I, sadly do not own VK, Matsuri Hino does. I do however, own any OC's that come into this story.
Summery (New): When two girls mysteriously join Cross Academys Night Class, strange things begien happening. Nobody knows who they are, not even Kaname. Or is that almost no one? And why do they have a presence of a Pureblood vampire if they constintly say they are not? When one befriends a unlikely Day-Student and the other a surprizing Night-Student, things become a little hectic. And just why are these vampires and...other things after them? And-oh great, Ridos mixed into this too. Just who are these girls? Rated T becasue I am very paroniod and because I do not really know what will happen later on.
Last time on 'Who are they?'-Two new students joined Cross Academy. And already Anki and Nioku are causing people to question, just who they are. With their oddness, and knowledge, Kaname and Zero are uneasy with the two. Where as Anki has already found her mate- but Nioku hasn't! "Kaname, you must have sensed it, ne? About Nioku and Anki." Kaien replied, his eyes still on the door. "Their presesnce cannot be ignored after all. They are different."
"You're right, I did sense it. What are they Chairman?" Kaname questioned.
"I was hopin you would be able to tell me. I don't know what they are or how they can have that presesnce. I do know part of their secret though."
"And that is?"
"That they are famous, respected by both the Vampire socity and the Hunters."
Nioku stared out her dormroom window, watching as the ocean blue sky slowly turned to that of blood red. She watched, not showing any emotion on her pale face. The hurried footsteps of her room-mate filled the room as she scrambled to get ready, Nioku already having done so without problem. Nioku knew why Anki was like this, praticully panicing, but that did not mean it did not annoy her. But she did not show it. Instead she turned to look at Anki, to see her half dressed with panic in her eyes. She resisted the urdge to sigh at her friend.
"Anki, calm down." Nioku said, causing Anki to stop for a moment, and turn to her.
"Calm down? Calm down? How can I calm down Nioku? I am going to see my one in less then an hour, how can I calm down?" Anki asked quickly, near hystericals. Nioku turned away from Anki to look out the window once more.
"You need to breath Anki. Zero-san will not like it if you are worked up when you see him at the gate opening. We get to skip out from our duties today, in order to meet the Night Class, so use that time to calm yorself." Nioku replies. Anki nodded, taking a deep breath.
"How do you think the Night Class will react to us?" Anki questioned, finushing getting dressed at amuch calmer pace. Nioku does not anwser at first.
"It is hard to say." She finally said.
"Yeah, I'm kinda nervous about meeting them. I bet you are too, since one might be yours." Anki continued, with a smile at her quiet friend. Nioku did not replie this time. If one looked at her, you would not see any hint that she is feeling what Anki just said, but Anki smiled at this.
"It will be convinet for me if it is someone in the Night Class, then I will not have to explain about vampires." Nioku said, glancing at Anki from the corner of her eyes. She stood, and striaghtened her hair once. "You are ready? Let us go then."
LOOK-AT-ME!THE-PRETTY-LINE-BREAKER!
"Why do we have to be up so early?" A blonde boy whined from his place slumped on the couch in the Moon Dorm lobby. All of the Night Class students were there, except Kaname, Nioku, and Anki. They were all tired from being woken up rather early by the Vice President, but curious as why they were, then told to wait in the lobby. A boy with dark blonde hair yawned from the where he stood next to a light brown haired girl. A orange haired girl stood beside a boy with dark cherry hair, watching as the sitting blonde complained.
"Be quiet Aido, Kaname-sama told us to wait here, so just do it." The girl scolded. The blonde turned to look at her, with a frown.
"But it's so early Ruka." The boy continued with his whinning. The dark blonde haired boy, seeing that the girl was about to retort and most likely start a arguement between the two, sighed.
"Hunabusa. Ruka." He said, the other two looked at him and the blonde fell silent, but kept up his frown. The girl did not and continued her retort.
"Just do as Kaname-sama says."
"It is early." The dark cherry haired boy commented, not looking intrested in the bickering people in front of him.
"I apologize for waking you." Kaname said, catching everyones attention, and making them look at him as he walked down the stairs. "It is early, but there is something important that I need to tell you."
"It is all right Kaname-sama, we don't mind." The brown haired girl said quickly.
"Speak for yourself." The orange haired girl muttered. Kaname spared them a glance and another apology.
"What is the important thing you have to tell us Kaname-sama?" The blonde questioned, making Kaname look at him for a second. The blonde held his gaze warily, having been edgy around the Moon Dorm President lately. Kaname looked at the curious looks that the Night Class gave him, and he nodded to himself, turning to the staircase.
"It is time for you to see. Girls, if you would?." Kaname said in replie. The Night Class turned following his gaze to the top of the stairs. The Night Class gazed at Nioku and Anki in confusion and a bit warly as they came into view, not knowing who they were or where they came from. The two girls sood at the top for a moment, holding the same presence they did the day before, telling the Night Class the same thing that Kaname and the others seen of them.
At the top of the stairs, Anki glanced at Nioku to see her watching the Night Class, her face still blank of emotion, all bt her eyes which betrayed her to her friend. Anki could tell that she was as nervous as she was. Or even more so, for someone in the Night Class could be her Mate. The one she had been looking for, for years before they came to Cross Academy. Anki was also nervous, for most of the people they meet are wary of them, for vigerous reasons, and she hoped that they like them.
They started down the stairs slowly, as to give them time to watch the people in front of them a bit more closely, and take in all their features. And so that the Night Class may also take them in, and realize they are not a threat. One look and they were already able to name all the faces that stared up at them. How though, shall remain unsaid for this moment.
A boy with lemon blonde hair walked over to stand besided Kaname as his eyes staying fixed on Nioku and Anki. His hair was neat, resting on his neck lightly, and falling into his green eyes, that looked almost of emerald, and sparkled with curiousily. He had a slim face, and a slim, lean body that made him look different then the other Night Class boys. Of course like all of them he had pale skin and was very beautiful. He also wore the Night Class uniform as everyon in the room did. He was Ichijo Takuma. The Vice President and an Aristorcrat. His powers, were channeled through his sword that is up in his dorm-room.
As well as Ichijo, a girl stood around Kaname protectivly. Not beside him, but a little behind of him. She had an elegent face with chin length gray hair cut in a bob, with matching eyes that took in everything in the area. She was slight, and could move very easily, and quickly, which was obvious by her long, toned legs, and body. She kept what looked to be a fairly relaxed poster, but at the same time, to Anki and Niokus trained eyes, they could tell she was ready to strick at a moments notice-as were they. She was Seiren. Kanames unoffical bodyguard and Aristorcrat, only she did not have a power to use. No. She used her speed to her advantage and perhaps, that was her power?
All eyes followed Anki and Nioku as they reached the ground level and walked quietly to Kaname. Once beside him, they looked over the Night Class agian. Meeting everyones eyes- and not just to let them know that they demanded respect, that they were stronger then those in the room, but to show that Anki and Nioku would trust them, if they trusted Anki and Nioku. Anki and Nioku seemed sure, strong, and they seemed to have the postition of power, just like Kaname. But the Night Class was wary, not sure what to think of the two new students that no one had heard of- not even Ichijo by the look on his face. A couple had tried to get a sent of what Vampiric Level (VL) they were, but were surprized to find, that they could not not tell. And were even more surprized to find that each girl had more then one sent accompanying her. They eyed the girls, no one wanting to step up to them just yet. After all, only Purebloods had that presence, and nobody had ever seen any Purebloods that looked anything like these two. And for them to be like Kaname, though they trusted him with their lifes, was a bit disconcerning.
"Hi Name-chan." Anki greeted the Pureblood, with a quick glance and smile. Kaname looked at her, then to Nioku who did not even take the time to look at him.
"Hello Kaname." She said. Kaname felt disappointed, if only a moment as he watched Nioku, then he shook it out of his mind. She didn't look at him, not once since they have met. He didn't take the time to ponder why he felt disappointed by that fact, and opened his mouth to greet him back but he was cut off.
"How dare you talk to Kaname-sama with such familtry." The brown haired girl called angurly. If the Night Class was wary before, they were much more tense now. Wondering who these girls were to feel so comfortable-or were stupid enough-to use Kanames first name- as if they had known each other forever. They didn't like how disrespectful Anki and Nioku were being. But Anki tipped her head in confusion, taking in the girls appearence before answering.
She had long light brown hair that cascaded down to the middle of her back in slight waves, and stayed out of her elegent face, and her brown eyes. If she was to stand beside Nioku, she would be a bit taller, but only by an inch or so. The way she held herself, stated she was raised well, and to proper elequite, but her stance was nothing to Anki and Niokus. She was Souen Ruka. Aristorcrat with the power of mind control.
"What? But Name-chan doesn't mind, ne Name-chan?" Anki questioned, looking at Kaname for an answer. Kaname looked at her, then back to Nioku.
"No, I do not mind Anki." He replied. Eyes widen at the announcment, looking at Kaname then to the girls. Just who were they to have premission to call Kaname by his first name? Where they Purebloods? No, Purebloods are too rare, and even then they have a distinct smell that would over power all others and they couldn't smell it on the girls- or at least not with all the other sents that surrounded the new commers.
Anki nodded, happy that he kept to what he was saying the day before-that he didn't mind them calling him 'Name-chan' or Kaname'. Nioku nodded as well-even if she did not have too, as he was not talking to her. Anki turned to the Vampires, smiling the smile that was always there.
"See Ruka-chan? He doesn't mind." Anki said, unaware of the tensing of said girl.
"How do you know my name?" Ruka asked, watching the new girl with renewed wariness. She had never met this girl before, how could she know her name? The other Night Class students, having heard Rukas question, looked between the new commer and Ruka. Confused that Anki knew Rukas name, but Ruka did not know hers.
"I know all your names." Anki said. The Night Class looked at each other in confusion, then to Anki when no one of them could answer thier question: How could Anki know all their names, if they didn't even know hers? Seeing that they weren't anywhere close to believing the smallest Vampire, Anki started to list off ther names with a tick of her fingers. "Aido, Toya, Akatsuki, Senri, Takuma, Seiren, Ruka, Kaname..."
The blonde boy gaped, while the others attempted to hide their shock- and most failed miserbly. How...How did they know that? Were they connected to their families? No, they would of known of them then. Did Kaname-sama tell them their names? No, Kaname-sama, wouldn't do that-even if he was nice to the Night Class...Well to a certian extention. Did Chairman tell them? Did new students get pre-knowledge in who they are dorming with? No, that would be to many people to list off. Then HOW did they know? Only one decided to voice this.
"How do you know our names?" The blonde boy asked, catching everyones attentiion. Once agian, Anki looked over the person talkings appearance before answering.
The boy was blonde, as said before. It was styled in a sort of messy, neatness that fell around his face-but not in it. Letting his ice blue eyes show all his curiousity. His slightly roundish and somewhat kiddish face was incredibly handsome-even by Vampire standerts but did not even compete with Kaname, Anki, and Nioku, or any Pureblood. His skin was somewhat more pale, but not enough that it was noticable- just that if he were Human, he would be naturally pale. His build was strong and sturdy as well as skinny. He was obviously very into his looks and most probably overly confident with them. His name was Aido Hunabusa. Aristorcrat with the power to freeze matter. Itoko to Kain Akatsuki and Kanames right-hand man.
"That's a secret." Anki said in a teasing, sing-song voice. A hidden smirk on her face. Nioku looked at Anki and rolled her eyes, when she noticed no one was watching her.
"Anki, stop pestering them by bragging that we know everything about them." She said. Although it was highly amusing, it did get a little annoying...Okay, perhaps the annoying part was a lie. Watching Anki bother people was always funny, as she tended to do it so well.
"How can you know everything about a person," The orange haired girl started, drawing Niokus attention, to her. The girl paused for a moment when Niokus gaze turned to her. "when you have never met them?"
'Her eyes are so...blank...' The orange haired girl thought to herself. Niokus eyes might of looked blank to the outsider but Anki knew that a thousand thoughts were going through her friends mind as she looked over the girl.
The girl hair would of fell to the middle of her back, had it not been the fact that the orange strands were up into two pigtails(that were nowhere near the length of Niokus), tied by two ribbons. Her bangs fells into her blue eyes, that weren't ice blue like Aidos, but was not a sky or dark blue, but a nice, mid-blue that fit her. She was small, and like Ruka, held herself strong. She seemed to have an air about her. Not one like Anki or Nioku, but one that said that she was a relaxed, almost indifferent person. She was Rima Toya. Aristorcrat with power over electricity. Model and best friend to Shiki Senri.
"It is like Anki said, Rima Toya, it is a secret that you are not to know." Nioku answered.
'At least, not yet.' She thought to herself. All eyes went to Nioku as she talked, some having forgot about her until she spoke the first time. Nioku was just so quiet that it was easy to forget about her...Well Kaname could never forget her. In fact he found himself tuning in and out of the conversation every time he looked over to the new girl.
The original Night Class looked between Anki and Nioku, unsure of who to watch-seemingly wanting to watch both. They were still a bit cautious, but they could feel a mysterious force pulling their uneasiness away, leaving them, instead, with the feeling that they wanted nothing more then to welcome the two in front of them as family. In fact, two were affected the most by this as two, high pitched shrieks filled the air, surprizing everyone. They turned to the cause of the noise. Rima and Ruka.
The two girls were watching Anki and Nioku with a new light and affrection that surprized even the two it was directed at. The two less new girls smiled at the two new ones with expressions that only fit the fangirl catagory.
"I always wanted a Imoto." Rima commented.
"And now we have two. And you two are so cute." Ruka added.
"Ano, nani?" Anki asked, seemingly confused by the suddent outburst of the two. Rima grabbed Ankis hand and arm, clinging to her new 'Imoto', while Ruka did the same to Nioku. Neither noticed how the other girls tensed at their touches.
"You have to hang out with us today." Ruka ordered, which served to only 'confuse' the girls more. Rima nodded.
"Not just today, but everyday." She added.
"Huh?" Anki wasn't planning on spending all day with the two girls-or anyone in the Night Class. She was planning on speaking to Zero later.
"You have to come with us, right now. So we can get to know our cute Imotos better." Rima said, directing her hostage to the staircase. Ruka right on her heels with Nioku. The boys left blinked at Rima and Rukas sudden urdge to have younger female siblings, then gazed at the two captured new students in pity: They all new how girls could get when they were exicted and set on doing something, and without a doubt, it was worse if their target was other girls.
"That's right. Imoto...Wait, what are your names, Imotos?" Ruka asked. They stopped, just realizing now, that they didn't know who the two people in front of them actually were. The uneasy feeling was back when they realized they had complete strangers as their new 'Imotos'. Though it was nowhere near as intense as before. Anki looked at the two girls and gently slide her grip out of Rimas hold. Nioku doing the same for Ruka. As they smoothed out their outfits they prepared for their introductions-only, it didn't come.
"Hai, that is right, you know our names, but we don't know your. So...what's your name cutie?" The Overly-Confident-Aido(now thought of as OCA to the two girls) had inturrupted them, and had slid one arm over Ankis shoulder, not noticing that the girl he was flirting with had tensed.
Now, their were a lot of things Anki had going through her mind just then. 1) Aido was flirting with her. 2) Aido was touching her, therefore sexully harassing her. 3) She already found her Mate and was completly faithful and so, her body automatically reacted in away to rid of the man making a move on the girl. And 4) that she had just yelled 'Get off me. The only one that can touch me is my ma-' and slapped Aido across the face...Oh hai, that felt good.
The sound of Ankis open palm hitting Aidos cheek was still echoing in the surprized silence. Everyone was shocked, inclueding Anki and Nioku- though they had been told that they should expect a sudden reaction should anyone hit on them, their mate, or talk bad about their mate once they found them. But they had no idea it meant that they'd slap the poor person who made the mistake. Niok felt bad for the boy; she had seen what Ankis slaps could do before. Aidos face was stinging painfully with a large red mark, and instintly, Anki felt guilty-even if she couldn't control it.
On the other hand, Aido was shocked. No one turned him down besides the girls that knew him in their childhood. And nobody had ever slapped him- unless you count Kaname when he did something wrong...But Aido didn't count those because he treasured those moments that Kaname showed him 'affection'. It was replaying in everyones head. Aidos because he couldn't believe it. Others because they pitied him for being slapped(That had to hurt if it was that loud), and others because it amused them greatly(1). Then, something just clicked into place in all of the Night Classes heads.
"Your what?" Aido questioned as all the ONC(Orignal Night Class) stared at the new girl who had yelled the confusing clue. Anki by then, had realized her mistake and was staring right back, with eyes wide, and Nioku sighing in the background. A kuso, she had almost said one of their secrets-outloud.
"No one!" Anki said quickly...too quickly. "Nothing!" Anki corrected herself-saying 'no one' would prove that only someone may touch her, which implies a Mate in the Vampire world. But it was too late, the ONC had already caught it...Even if none of them connected Mate to it, they definitly knew there was a someone-Who though, was the question.
"We haven't introduced ourselves." Nioku said, snapping everyones thoughts from Anki, to the fact that none of them actually knew the two girls they were talking two, and that they still have to introduce themselves. They turn to look at both girls fully as to be able to see and take in their appearance, as they realize that nobody had actually been paying attention to how the two looked that day. Anki and Nioku smooth out their outfits.
Anki changed her uniform from the normal uniform, which surprized the ONC, but at the same time, fit her. Her white coat stayed relivily the same-execpt the sleeves and cuffs, which she shortned. Her skirt was legthned and almost fell to her knees in a full skirt. Black knee high socks replaced the normal black thigh-highs and a pair of red Alice shoes(2) replaced the boots. A red bow is in place of the usual red ribbon and is the exact same shade of crimsion. Her dark purple hair was styled much the same as the day before, only her headband and top hat are gone- replaced by a single large bow.
Nioku changed her outfit as well. Her coat was left open to reviel the black shirt and red belt that matched her ribbon that was loosely tied around her neck. She shortned her coat, so that it just reached her waist, and was no longer. The sleeves, she legthned, so that you almost could not see her delitct hands. The skirt was shortned so that it reached halfway down her thighs, and if it wasn't for the black thigh-highs that all girls wore, you'd be able to see her smooth legs. Replaced are the brown ankle boots, Nioku instead wore brown knee high boots. Her hair, still in pigtails, was now threaded with red, to match the ribbon and belt she wore. Unknown to those looking at her, Nioku was fairly amused at the sight in front of her.
"I am Hotosema Nioku. I do not expect you to know who I am or who my family is-simply because I am not from Japan. For those of you have traveled, you will still not know my name. The reason as to why," Here Nioku paused, letting Anki see a slight smirk on her friends face before it disappeared. "is for you to find out."
"I, on the other hand, am Meika Anki. You may, or may not know of my family if I told you who they were. But I am not. The reason, why I am not telling you is simple," Anki smirked outright, letting the ones looking at her see it. "because, that is for you to find out."
The ONC blinked(3). They had been hoping for more information on the two mystery girls, instead they got secrets, and their curiousity peaked. They had answered their questions, without answering their questions. Why wouldn't they mention their family? Were they, perhaps, disowned? No that just didn't seem to be the right answer. But who could these girls really be?
"Class is starting soon. We should head out now." Ichijo informs the Night Class. Ankis eyes widen before the panic sets it, and she begian smoothing her outfit-agian- and fixing her hair in a little pocket mirror she carried everywhere with her. The ONC watched in confusion, not understanding why she was panicing, while as Nioku resisited the urdge to sigh...agian.
"Mieka-san, are you all right?" Ichijo asked, watching as the smallest girl begain to mutter to herself about make-up and not looking good enough for 'him'. Whoever 'he' was. The Night Class stopped, and thought. Could 'he' be the only one who can touch her?
"Don't call me that." Anki snapped quickly. "Anki will do. And do I look all right? I'm not ready, I have to prepare." And with that, she went right back to having her panic attack. Which, was somewhat amusing to see...
"Prepare?" A cherry haired boy questioned, boredly-unintersisted. "It's just class." Nioku looked at the boy who had spoke, then looked away-he wasn't her mate.
The boy had short, slightly messy dark cherry hair that looked spiked, and fell, slightly, into his blue eyes. He was somewhat tall, and had a strong, slim, and handsome face. His skin was paler then Aidos but still, not that noticable. He was strong, but he was relaxed-as if he didn't care and would prefer to stay un-noticed. But at the same time, he was aware of his surroundings, and he noticed things other would look over. He was an Aristorcrat with the ability of blood minipulation. Beside his quiet nature, Shiki Senri was a model in the world of the sun with Rima and best friend to both her, and his room-mate-Ichijo Takuma.
"It is not the class Anki is worried for." Nioku informed the confused class. "It is a bit before that."
"Before that?...You mean the Fangirls?" Aido asked. Anki and Nioku exchanged glances, silently saying: Fangirls? Not agian, I thought we left them back in America. And, oh Kami, all the attention...
"Fangirls?" They question together, their tone cautious, as if if they spoke any louder then the Fangirls would appear and attack. Kaname noticed this, and inwardly chuckled at it.
"I see you've dealt with them before." He commented. Both girls nodded, remembering their past with Fangirls and Fanboys. It was not pretty, expecially right before they left. They shuddered. That time was surely the worse: Getting swarmed by crazed Fanpeople.
"Hai." Nioku replied, her face only showing a hinting at her fear of horrible Fanpeople. But not her other fear. Anki sighed. The fans, they would be able to put up with-if they gave them their space. And Nioku could get over her little roadblock.
"May I ask how?" Ichijo asked, ever poliet. Anki and Nioku fixed him with a blank stare.
"Do you really need to?" They question. Honestly no, they ONC didn't need too. Their looks and presence made everyone want to look at them. But that wasn't what they meant. They meant: Do you really want to know, and make us suffer rememering? Only Kaname seemed to get that as he stayed silent, and let his imagenation wonder, wondering why they are so cuatious of their fans.
"Well shall we go? We can't just keep them waiting?" Ichijo said cheerfully. Nioku didn't agree with him-she was perfectly content with staying right there and away from the Crazies attention. And she whispered this to Anki, who replied.
"Neh, neh Nio, if we don't go, you might not find your one. As they are obviously not here."
"Do not remind me." Nioku answered, her voice hard. Then she resisted the urdge to sigh. "I will get our books; we left them up stairs."
"Hai." Anki nodded, and Nioku turned, quickly closing her eyes, before heading silently to a small table. Anki paid no attention to what her friend was doing, but the ONC watch confused. Didn't she just say she had to get her books from her room?
"Nioku-imoto, the rooms are upstairs." Rima told her. Nioku didn't even look at her as she answered and continued on her way to the table.
"I know."
Nioku reached the small table, reaching down, and picking up to books that the ONC was sure was not there before. And she said the books were in her room! Nioku turned, walking back to Anki silently. Only, she did not hand her the book. She threw it to her, and Anki caught it perfectly, without even looking at it.
"Well, shall we?" Anki asked as if nothing happened, and procced to the door with Nioku, who was equally as oblvious as to the ONCs confused gazes. The ONC, who were watching the new students, quickly realized that they would be late if they didn't run after them.
"How did you do that?" Ruka wondered when she caught up to her new 'Imotos', Aido, Rima, and Ichijo behind her. Anki played dumb.
"What?"
"Make the books appear out of nowhere." Rima explained, as if it was obvious-which it was. Anki grinned.
"I didn't do anything." Anki answered, in complet truth. "Can you guess who did?" Then she bounded off, over to one of the boys she had yet heard speak. Kain Akatsuki.
"Ohaiyo Kain Akatsuki." Anki greeted when she reached him. The dark blonde watched her, and raised an eyebrow. He nodded, in greeting, not bothering to wonder how she knew his-and all the others-names and what she knew of him, for it is probably as she said:everything.
Kain Akatsuki had short, wild dark blonde-almost orangish- colored hair. His eyes were a nice ember color and his face was strong and slim. He had a strong, sturdy body, with broad shoulders, that made him look dangerous, given the right situation, though he proabaly wasn't at all. He, unlike most others, wore his uniform different. The coat was open, with no vest in the way of his black shirt, and without the annoince of a tie, as he did not wear one. 'He pourtraids his nickname well,' Anki thought. 'Wild.' Kain Akatsuki was an Aristorcrat with the ability to burn matter. He was Aido Hanabusas itoko and Souen Rukas best friend. He was also Kanames other right-hand man.
"So, Suki-chan-" Kain never got to hear the end of 'So, Suki-chan' as they were inturrupted by the OCA. He bounced over, carefull not to touch her-just yet, and then procced to talk to her.
'Although.' Kain thought as he watch the two out of the corner of his eyes. 'It seems like Anki doesn't particurly like where the convorsation is going. Hanabusa, don't you learn?'
"Anki-chan, I see you are making friends, how about being my friend?" Aido said, a suggestive tone to his voice. Anki stopped in her tracks. Didn't this guy realize she wasn't into him? She slapped him, for Kamis sake. But the blonde didn't seem to realize it. "Oh, are you thinking about it? You do after all smell so good..." Aido trailed off. By now everyone had stopped, and at Aidos words, realized just how good the two did smell. But for some, even Anki and Niokus sent was overpowered, though they could still smell it.
Anki however, along with most of the Night Class were disgusted by what Aido had just said. Not only was drinking blood from any other Vampire the equivilent to Human sex, but to think that Aido would suggest it after having just met the girl. Ankis digust turned quickly to rage, and Niokus digust as well as, surprizingly Kanames, turned to overprotectivness. The three glared at Aido as he put his arm around her and pulled her close. The whole while, Anki was thinking: SEXUAL HARASSMENT, GET THE CREEP AWAY!
"So, do you mind..." Aido trailed off, pulling her closer as she despretly trial to pull away from the blonde. Her expression stating that she very well minds. She wiggled, trying to get an arm free to slap the annoying blonde, however she couldn't, her hands were pinned. So she searched the NNC(New Night Class) in hopes that someone would help her. Most did not move, still frozen from their sent, but were slowly coming out of their trances. Gold eyes met ember and Kain sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. He stepped forward and Nioku and Kanames eyes darted to him before realizing he was not going to hurt Anki, then back to the blonde they were imagening suffering for touching Anki.
Kaname couldn't even fathom the reason why he was mad. He had not given Anki a second thought since they met, and yet he was mad that Aido was touching her. He wanted to tear the blonde off and keep him from going anywhere near her. But why?(4)
Nioku was much the same, only she understood why. Anki was like a imoto to her, and the fact that somebody was trying to bite her, when they just met, and without her premission was grating on her nerves. It was only a matter of time before she snapped and literly ripped Aido away from her.
"Hanabusa." Kain warned. Stepping closer and putting a hand on the blondes shoulder. The blonde didn't look at the darker blonde, instead he stared at a wall. Anki looked at him in confusion, but Aido didn't see it. Kain sighed and pulled Aido back gently, making him let go of Anki, who scrambled back a few feet. "Stop it. She told you before."
"But she wasn't protesting." Aido pointed out before he could stop himself. He instinitly regretted it for two reasons. 1) The murderous auras that radiated off of Kaname and Nioku. And 2) The annoence in Kains eyes.
"Aido." The mixed voices for both Kaname, and Nioku drifted out, anger plan on their voices. Aido froze.
"If you had listened before you would have realized she does not want you touching her." Nioku said, her voice deprived of any emotion. Her glare making Aido shiver with fear. She's worse then Kaname mad. Speaking of Kaname...
"Aido. You will have detention tonight." He said, his voice also deprived of any emotion. The playboy blonde, shrunk back. Anki huffed and sent him a glare, but when there was a good few feet between them, she was back to her teasing self.
"So, Sucki-chan," Anki said, as she hopped along side Kain now that the group was moving agian, "your Itoko doesn't learn, does he?" Aido pouted, only being a few feet behind- which Anki knew. Kain sighed and shrugged.
"Not really." Aidos pout increased.
"Then we'll just have to teach him." Anki told him happily. "Nioku and I won't stand for that type of behavior." With that, Anki begiens talking cheerfully to Aido, completly forgetting what happened a few minutes ago. Nioku and Kaname watched Aido out of the corners of their eyes, incase he tried anything. The rest of the NNC just watched with amused and confused expressions. However, Kain just ruffled the smiling girls hair.
"Nioku-imoto, I have never seen Hanabusa so scared, execpt when he angered Kaname-sama." Ruka said to Nioku as she walked beside her. "How did you do that?" Appearantly no one noticed Kanames KI(Killer Intent), because of Niokus. She would of sighed.
"I did not do anything. However, if he ever bothers Anki like that agian, I will." Nioku answered, her voice deathly silent. "Although, I probably will not have too."
"Why?" Rima asked. They had all noticed Anki could defend herself-the slap proved it, a few people were still wincing at it on the inside-but what could that little cutie do, that would make Nioku say that she wouldn't have to protect her friend?
"Anki will not settle for him acting like that. And soon neither will I. If he continues to act that way to Anki, he will only get hurt, whether it is by myself, Kaname, or Anki herself."
"Kaname?" Was the collective thought/question. But Nioku was not answering. She had noticed how mad Kaname had been-she was aware of his presence the whole time, but she never really paid him any mind-she was to busy looking for her Mate.
"Nioku, what did you mean when you said 'Anki will not settle for him acting like that. And soon neither will I'?" Rima asked, having singled that sentince out before.
"Secret." Is the replie.
"You seem to have a lot secrets."
"Come on, can you tell us?" Rima and Ruka questioned together. Nioku shook her head, telling them she would not tell her secrets. The older girls pouted and opened their mouths to retort-most likely to ask agian. However, they were not able too.
"Do not bother her." Seiren said quietly. She had overheard the girls conversation when she was walking behind Kaname, who was walking only a few feet in front of the group of girls. She didn't know what made her actually participate in the converstion-usually she is the strong, silent gard who saw everything, but did not participate. However, something about these girls made her...want to protect them, perhaps? She was not sure what she would actually call it, and she knew it was a weakness, but she could not find herself to care. Seiren found herself placing a hand on the shorter girls shoulder, and noticing how she tensed at the touch. Slowly, Nioku relaxed as a sort of wave of safeness washed over her. Only a few people could actually make Nioku feel safe and most were people she either thought of as her best friend, older sister/brother, or father.
"Arigatou Seiren-san." Nioku said quietly, knowing Seiren could hear it. Seiren nodded, a little jolt of happiness(5) as Nioku used her first name-even they use everybodies first name.
"They have made an impression. They have them intrigured." Ichijo commented to Shiki who was walking beside him, a few feet from the girls. They too, were surprized by Seirens inturruption into the conersation, but they found it more intresting. What power did those to hold over them to get them to act so, out-of-character?
"I'm curious too Takuma." Shiki amitted as they watched the girls interact.
"They are intresting, aren't they? They smell like Purebloods-faintly- yet, I have never seen any Purebloods that look remotely like them before." Ichijo confessed. They were unsure and confused about the girls- and with all the questiions they have brought up, it seemed like the girls were purposly acting mysterious to get them curious, then refuse to answer their questions. Shiki nodded, lazily eyeing Nioku, as Anki was walking behind him with Aido and Kain.
Kaname was thinking of the girls as well-it seemed like that was the only thought anyone in the ONC had had that day, but that was to be expected. Unlike everyone else, who you could clearly see the intrest and confusion on their faces, Kaname you had to look hard. And even then you could miss it. But the truth was, Kaname was just as, if not more so, confused and intrested then the rest.
'Who are these girls? What secrets do they hold?' Where Kanames main two thoughts that the two shared in common. When he looked at Anki, he qestioned why he was mad earliar and why she seemed to like taunting them with her secrets. But the first one was the one he concentrated on most, for that just did not make sense. Kuran Kaname, getting upset and protective over a girl he just met? It was almost like someone was influencing his emotions.
However, his thoughts on Nioku were quite different. He was confused about the fact that he was disapointed when she did not look at him and why he couldn't seem to shake her completly from his thoughts. Many times he had found himself looking at her or thinking or noticing small things about her since the day had started. He had thought breifly, that is it the same feeling the Night Class had been getting from the girls-the suddent need for a younger sibling, the sudden protectivness, and the sudden thought of wanting to know the girls- that was what bothering him. But that didn't feel totally right. Besides if it was, he was a Pureblood, he would not let it get to him. Still...
The NNC neared a large, wooden gate that towered over their heads, and seemed the appropret gateway to Hell and it's demons. Otherly known as school and the Fanpeople. As Ichijo stepped forward to know on the gates to tell the Gatekeepers they were ready, the NNC seemed to be preparing its-self for the horrior that lay beyond. The gate swung open and the sounds of cheers which Anki and Nioku had thought were coming from a soccor game or something, increased tenfold and to their horrior was from the Fanpeople. Mostly girls that day as nobody knew of the new students. The girls had lined the side and were threatning to run forward had it not been for Yuki. They were loud. And there were lots of them.
The ONC were watching Anki and Nioku, wanting to see their reaction to the Fangirls. They were not disapointed. Anki and Nioku looked at the girls. Then each other. Then back to the girls with twin looks of terrior. The ONC chuckled to quietly for any Human to hear it unless they were trained too.
"A lot of them, isn't there?" Ichijo asked, to be greeted with numb nods. "Don't worry they aren't as bad as they seem." Two blank stares. "Really they aren't. You just have to get use to their new tatics. I doubt they are like they ones you faced before. Some people have already gotten use to them." They glanced at Aido, who had begien to greet the waiting girls.
"I can see that." Anki said with a giggle-Aido is the OCA after all. "What do you all do o get them to flock you like this?"
"Nothing. They come on their own." Rima answered with a shrugg. "They can get a bit...creepy...to be honest." Anki and Nioku look at the ONC with amusment, eyebrows raised in disbelieve.
"You are scared of girls." Nioku summerized. The ONC shock their heads in disagreement...or denial as Anki wold call it.
"No." Ruka said.
"They are not girls. They are worse." Ichijo continued on for her. "Fangirls."
"Uh-huh." Anki said, clearly telling them that she didn't believe them. Kaname raised an eyebrow. Didn't they say before that they knew the horrors of Fangirls(6), surely they would know how eccentric they can get?
"Anyway, we should go." Rima told them, looking her small wrist watch for the time. The NNC nodded and they stepped forward.
Only for Anki and Nioku to stop.
The two newest girls stopped as soon as they took one step outside of the gate, staring in shock at the shere number of people that was crowding the Moon Dormatry gate. They had thought there was a lot before- they now know they hadn't even seen half of the Fanpeople. And they all stared, calling out to their favorite Night-Student, hoping to catch their eyes and get their attention. They pushed Yuki, who was tring to hold them back, and almost failing. They felt sorry for the small girl- until they remembered that in a few days time, that would be them. The two just couldn't move. The idea of all that attention on them, expecially since they were new, was too much. Sure Anki liked to tease people and get a small bit of extra attention, but when it came to big groups-she hated it. And Nioku...Well Nioku was terrified. She had never liked attention, and it had only gotten worse since she was twelve.
The ONC stopped, sensing that they were missing two of their numbers, and turned to look at the girls, and were surprized to see them frozen in fear. Or shock in Ankis case. Weren't they used to this type of thing? They said they had fans from where they were from, so why were they standing there like that, as if this was their first time seeing Fanpeople? Unless they were lieing, but they don't think so.
Seiren stepped forward, but stopped, looking to Kaname. She wanted to go up there and comfort them, but was she allowed too, being just a bodyguard? Would she even be able to comfort them, or make it worse? Rima and Ruka were inwardly fussing about their 'Imotos'. They didn't like seeing their new 'family' like that. But at the same time ,they didn't want to do anything, becase they would have to deal with it everyday. Aido was confused. He could tell they were not lieing earliar, so why were they like that? Were there less Fanpeople where they came from, perhaps? He didn't even see a problem with those here-they weren't so bad to him.
Kaname was staring at Nioku, sensing her discomfort. How'd he know though? It was not clear on her face, the only thing that was clear, was that she was shocked by the numbers. And yet, Kaname felt it was more then that. Like she wasn't just uncomfortable with the numbers or the fanpeople as a whole, no. No, it was more then that. She was scared. Of what? The things that Fanpeople could do? Or the attention in itself? Was that it? Was she scared of attention? But, that didn't make sense, for her to be shy. Expecially when she said she was use to the attention. Perhaps he should do something? Talk to her and calm her down? Then maybe she'd notice him.
Kaname inwardly shook his head. Where did that thought come from? He just met her, why would he want her to notice him anyway? Sure, she was beatifull, much more then beautifull in fact, but he wouldn't really care for her just because of that. Rima and Ruka were beautifull girls and he didn't want them to notice him. It was ridiculas. He shouldn't care for her, or her discomfort/fears. If she affects him like this, maybe he should just stay away from her. They curtianly are strange enough for him to want to keep his distance.
As if his body sensed his train of thought, and disagreed, he found himself walking striaght towards the frozen girls. No, towards Nioku. His mind disagreeing with his actions the whole time. He walked up to her, stopping just beside her, but she didn't spare him a glance, already knowing it was him, somehow. Kaname was very aware that if they didn't have everybodies attention before, they did then. Probably wondering why the Night Class President had walked up to the new girls. But Kaname didn't pay them any attention, focusing on Nioku. Up close it was fairly obvious that she did not want to go out there.
"Nioku." He said quietly, for only her to hear. Why was he even doing this? Who said that she would pay attention to what he was doing? "Nioku don't worry." Nioku jumped, barely, he almost missed it. She did not look at him, but her eyes widen slightly, before going back to normal. All emotion left her face after that.
"How did you know I was worried?" She asked, her voice hard, confusing Kaname. Was he not suppose to notice? Was she trying to hide all her emotions from everybody? He could read her face perfectly though, like a book. But he could not answer her question as to how he could. He just...knew.
"It was easy." He lied, hoping she would not pick up on the small fibe. He should of known she would.
"Ne." She said, then continued on. "Is there always so many of them?"
"Hai. But one gets use to them. I thought you said you had dealt with Fanpeople before?"
"We did. But not this many." She answered, her tone curt. Like she didn't like how he was talking to her and that she just wanted to get away from the fans. She just wanted to get ot of there. "Come on, they will not kill you."
"And how do you know that?" Nioku said in a half-joke, almost to quiet for him to catch, but he heard it. His lips twiched. She had said it so seriously, that he almost thought she meant it. Instead of answering, he just held out a hand, waitting patiently for her to take it-if she even did. Nioku stared at the hand. Wondering why Kaname was doing this. They had just met and as far as she knew, she had not done anything to warrent his attention. But still, slowly she raised her hand, and placed it in his.
Whatever Nioku was expecting, it wasn't this. As soon as her hand touched Kanames and large shock rippled through her body, like she was electrocuted. She jecked back slightly, not enough to alert the crowd, but enough for Kaname to loosen his hold. She started at his hand, not looking up at him, for fear she might of freaked him out.
'What was that? It was like I was shocked all the way to the core of my soul...' Nioku thought looking from her hand to Kanames, to see if there was any way for an electrcal charge to pass between them. 'No, it felt different then a shock that come from touching metal or whatever. What was it? I'll have to ask Anki. I wonder...will it happen agian?'
Nioku raised her hand agian, slowly laying her hand in Kanames hand, half expecting to be shocked, half not. When nothing happened, just a slight tingle, she relaxed a bit. Thinking it over, her exedeningly smart mind thinking of any possiblities. Kaname didn't mind waiting for her, but he did find the shock odd, what could of caused it?
Kaname lead Nioku through the crowd, which was dead silent as they watched him in confusion. What was he doing? But Kaname and Nioku didn't even notice them, they just walked. Kaname was strangly out of his mind. Not completly comprehanding the situation, where as Nioku was strangly comfortable with Kaname there beside her. Though her mind was whirling a she tried not to notice all the eyes that followed them. And it worked-she didn't even remember that they were there.
Anki watched her friend and Kaname from her spot beside the door, if possibly, in even more shock then before. Nioku was defentitly not a people person, and her fear of big crowds had only grown since she was younger. And she was just ignoring them. Also, before it was only Anki and two other that she would let touch her, even if just the hand and only Anki could calm her with a touch, yet, here was Kaname, doing exactly that, calming her with a touch. And...how did Kaname even know that she was uncomfortable? Nioku is known for not showing her true-self, keeping her emotions hidden, and yet he saw. Now this is intresting, Nioku seems almost...comfortable with Kaname.
Anki giggled to herself, happy that her friend could be comfortable with someone else-maybe she's opening up? The Night Class turned to Anki at the sound of her giggles, confused as to what she was laughing at, when there was nothing funny around.
"Anki-imoto, why are you laughing?" Rima asked. Anki waited for her giggles to die down a little before she responded to Rimas question.
"Secret."
"Is that all you have?" Aido questioned, turning to look at Anki. She glanced at him and giggled agian, for he was sure to ask her to tell him, but she wouldn't. "Come on, tell us."
"Iie."
"Shite kudasai?"
"Iie."
"Shite kudasai-"
"Aido, stop it." Seiren said, cutting Aido off, silently moving over to Anki. Anki looked over her shoulder to Seiren and smiled to her. "They do not want to say, so do not bother them." Nobody said anything. The Night Class still tring to get use to Seiren talking, the Day Class shocked that she could even speak. Anki didn't get what was so shocking- everyone could speak, unless they lost their voice or something, so she just turned, planning on going through the crowd when no one was paying attention, only, it didn't go like that.
No, because Anki spotted Zero. He was there the whole time, watching the scene of Nioku and Kaname, watching Anki, expecially Anki. How had she not noticed him there, she could feel his every presense before, and now that she knew he was there, it was like electricaty going through the air, pulling them together. Anki started away from the shocked Night Class, and off of the school path, to Zero. He did not move, but his eyes followed her. Everyone stopped, watching curiously as she walked, wondering what she was doing.
Zero had stopped bothering with the girls, stopped looking at anyone else, stopped breathing. The Day Class thought it was because he thought she was beautifull and hoping that she was coming to him, but really it was because of her sent. Never before had he smelt something so, so inticing. He closed his eyes, and took in a deep breath, letting the sent fill his body. When he opened his eyes agian, they were tinted light red.
The Night Class tensed, but Anki didn't seem to notice it, or just did not care. Their eyes locked and Anki stopped just a few feet away from him, wondering what he would do. Her mind was whirling, should she go closer, should she stay? She wanted to go closer, but what if he reacted badly? Ankis mouth went dry as Zero watched her with Bloodlust colored eyes, her breath quickening. Zero stepped forward, the Day Class students scrambled out of his way at one step, watching with baited breaths, what was he going to do?
"Hello Zero..." Anki said quietly, cuatiously. His eyes were red, he was thirsting for blood. And they were surrounded by Humans. But Anki really couldn't bring herself to really care about that fact. But Zero was there. Thirsting for blood, because of her. Not only that but she wanted to go up to him, and to touch him, to do something. But her body would not move.
"...Anki..." Was his quiet answer. The Day Class and Night Class looked at the two in confusion. Did they know each other somehow? Zero stepped forward a bit, not enough that would be considered improper, but bordering on the line. Zero raised his hand a bit, then hesitated. What was he doing? His mind screamed at him, telling him to stop, to go. But the other half of his mind was telling him to stay, to touch her...To bite her. Anki closed her eyes as Zeros hand brushed her check, warmth spreding where ever he touched. Anki raised a hand, laying it over Zeros. As soon as their fingers touched, a large shock pulsed through their bodies, snapping Zero out of his little trance.
'What the heck am I doing?' He thought to himself as he drew back sharply, a glare firm in his eyes as he looked at her now. She wasn't sure if he was glaring at her or himself, but she still inwardly flinched at his gaze. He turned away, watching her the whole time until he was facing away from her completly, and stromed off. His eyes were still red though, and that worried Anki. But Anki felt hurt, that he just walked off like that, though nobody seemed to notice that. She was also determined.
Niok walked towards her, letting go of Kanames hand, and putting one on her friends shoulder, who didn't even look at her. "He will come around, he just doesn't know what is happening." She said. Anki nodded absently, and turned to look at the people watching her, a smile on her face, and a cheerful tone with her voice. But Nioku knew her friend wasn't happy right now, she was hurt. But she was detemind to get Zero. Determind to get to know him.
'This will not be a relationship based on instintics. I will get Zero, and I will know him.'

Will: And done. So, like I said above, school just started and I wanted to wait at leat a week to post, so I could get settled. Sorry, I know, it has been forever. I'm really going to try to update more though, but I need reminders that will motovate me enough to want to jump on this and write- I've had this chapter done for four days, so this chapter has no excuses.
Also, I am looking for an editer that will do a good job, help finalize things(cause, I really suck at editing, if anyone has noticed) and keep me on trach and updating. Any takers? I will get onto the 'important stuff' after we do the walls of reviews, kay?
The Wall of Reviews
CorieFanGrrl-Thank you for the complement, and yeah, I realized that I was switching from past to present a bit after I posted, this is my first time ever writing in past tense, so please give me some slack. I hope I did better this time. i promise I will not give up. Yeah, agian I realized that fact, after I posted it-it's one of the reasons I am re-writing, if you notice, this time I made them more wary of Nioku and Anki. About Niokus character, when I started this fic, I wasn't even thinking about Niokus character uch, but I sort of solved that. You will be seeing different sides of Nioku through this fic, not that I have most things figured out, and I hope you like her. I hope I can make everyone more in-character, but yes, it does have a lot to do with their powers and them not knowing what they girls really are. I am glad you like it and no, I do not count this as flame.
AquamarimeCherryblossom- One of my most loyal reviews, here is a vertiual cookie. Thanks, I'm glad you are not mad! And I am glad you are curios, that's good.
AmyRoseAlice-I'm glad that you like the second version better; that is what it is here for- to get you to like it better. I can't wait to get farther into my story and actually write what happens next!
perfectpanda37-I'm glad you love it, and I'm glad you want to know mre about them.
Will: I'm sorry if I missed anyone that reviewed, but my email is connected to three things now and sometimes i do not get the reviews. Okay, onto the important stuff-the crossover. I have an idea that will be crossed over with two things besides VK, though I might not do one. It all counts on you. Second it all counts on what I decide Anki and Nioku really are. I have been debating it, and I want your help, I keep changing my mind. There will be a vote next chapter about what they are, so pay attention to that. It will state the choices then, so we can continue on. I will let you see the choices now, so you can think about it and it will be posted for two or so chapters to get in the finul votes. There is one thing that won't change, so you do not have to know that right now.
Anki-
a)A shinigami/Meister
b)A shinigami
c)A shinigami/Witch
d)A witch
Nioku-
a)A Shapeshift/Demon Weapon
b)A Shapeshifter
c)A shapeshifter/Witch
d)A witch
It's your choice, so think on it. Well I have to go and do...something...I have nothing to do really. Anywho; Je ne
Will.
