Chapter 7: Sleeping Buddies and Swimming - Part One

The sky is the color of the clearest blue. Its ornaments are the sun, the low hanging clouds and a rainbow. A grassy terrain draped with roses, daffodils and tulips.

And to complete the setting, we have Zero in a very cute pink dress, picking flowers and dancing and skipping around like an idiot. And to top it all, he is singing Barbie Girl.

"I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic..
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere..
Imagination, life is your creation..
Come on barbie, let's go party!
I'm a barbie girl, in a barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic..
You can brush my hair, undress me everywhere..
Imagination, life is your creation..
I'm a blond bimbo girl, in a fantasy world,
Dress me up, make it tight, I'm your dolly..
You're my doll, rock'n'roll, feel the glamour in pink,
Kiss me here, touch me there, hanky panky..
You can touch, you can play, if you say: "I'm always yours"

You may all think that Zero is having a pretty nasty nightmare. But, guess what? This is his dream and he likes it, thank you very much.

He is liking his dream very much that he didn't noticed that he is about to fall off his bed that he is sharing with Yuuki. Thump.

Well, uhm... Zero fell off the bed and well, he woke up from his wonderful dream.

"Ow." Zero said as he rubbed the portion of his head that hit the hard floor.

Zero glared at the peaceful-looking figure of Yuuki sleeping on his bed. He clearly knows that Yuuki is not a very peaceful sleeper. As much as he wants to sleep alone on his own bed, he can't because of the following:

1) Neither he nor Yuuki wants to sleep on the cold floor.

2) Zero can't send Yuuki back to her own room because of Kaname's... sleep talking problems.

3) Neither of them wants to sleep at Chairman Cross' quarters.

Zero glanced at the clock on the bedside table. 6:30 AM.

Damn it, Yuuki. Damn it! You woke me up 5 hours before the actual thing! Zero screamed in his head as he glared at Yuuki.

Nothing's wrong with waking up 5 hours before a sport's event. But seeing that Zero is a nocturnal animal, he is not used with the sunlight and birds chirping. What he is used to is the moonlight and bats squeaking in the night air.

Then he thought of something to get beck at Yuuki since he can no longer go back to sleep. He grabbed a handful of the covers that she stole from him and pulled it hard, making Yuuki fall on the hard floor. Thump.

"Ouch!" Yuuki screamed as she rubbed her head. Then she saw Zero with the covers. "Why did you do that for?"

"You pushed me off my bed and stole my blankets." Zero said.

"Excuse me, mister, but I didn't pushed you off." Yuuki defended, crossing her arms.

"Well you kicked me absentmindedly." Zero said.

"It's not like I did it on purpose." Yuuki said, standing up.

"You still did it!" Zero said, lacking a better come back.

"No, I did not!" Yuuki shouted.

"Yes, you did!" Zero shouted back.

"No, I didn't!"

"Yes, you did!"

"I didn't!"

"You did!"

"I didn't!"

"You did!"

"I didn't!"

"You did!"

"I didn't!"

"You did!"

"I didn't!"

"You did!"

"Oh, for the love of God! Will the two of you stop shouting?!" came in the voice of Hanabusa Aidou. Zero and Yuuki turned their attention to the sleepy looking Aidou.

"What are you doing in my room?" Zero asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah. What are you doing in his room?" Yuuki said, repeating Zero's question.

Aidou seemed to have come back to reality when he heard his dear Yuuki-sama's voice. He looked from Yuuki to Zero and vice versa.

The latter raised an eyebrow as if demanding an explanation.

"Well?" Yuuki said.

"Well... I was... having trouble sleeping in the dorms..." Aidou began sheepishly.

"And...?" Zero said, mentioning for him to continue.

"So I decided to sleep here since it's more peaceful here than in the Moon Dorms... because... well... you know-"

"Yeah yeah. I know. But why my room?" Zero said, cutting Aidou's words.

"You're the only male person from the Sun Dorms that I know... So..."

"So...?" Zero said.

"So... I thought I could sleep in with you." Aidou finished off.

"I wonder who is stupid enough to give you that idea?" Zero said sarcastically.

"Ichijou-san." Aidou said, pointing Ichijou's sleeping figure on the floor. Zero and Yuuki turned their heads to where Aidou was pointing and, sure enough, they saw Ichijou along with Shiki, Rima, Ruka, Akatsuki and even Seiren.

Ichijou stirred from his sleep when he heard his name being mentioned. He sat up right and blinked his eyes and yawned, stretching his arms on the process. He looked around and saw Yuuki, Zero and Aidou all staring at him.

"Good morning, Yuuki-chan, Zero-kun, Aidou." he said enthusiastically.

"Ok, that's it. Wake up, you blood suckers!" Zero shouted as loud as he can. Soon every sleeping vampire in the room stirred from their peaceful slumber with grunts of annoyance.

"What?!" Shiki, who is clearly not a morning person, shouted back.

"What are you all doing in my room?" Zero asked, suddenly aware of the fact that his room can only contain a maximum of 3 people.

"Sleeping. Duh." Ruka said, rubbing her eyes.

"But why here?" Zero said, getting annoyed that his room is full of vampires.

"We have nowhere else to sleep. Duh." Rima said.

"You have your gigantic rooms in the Moon Dorms! Why don't you all sleep there instead of gathering in my room?!" Zero snapped at them.

"We can't sleep because of Dorm Leader Kuran's issues." Kain said.

"Why don't you all tell him that so that you don't have to crowd my room?" Zero said.

"None of us wants to be punished." Seiren said.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! That's it! All of you, get out!" Zero shouted, pointing at the door. Soon after Zero said that, all of the people in Zero's room began piling out of his room.

"Does that involve me?" Yuuki asked Zero.

"Yes." Zero said.

"Why?" Yuuki asked once again.

"Because I'm going to take a bath and that means, I'm going to be naked." Zero said. "What? You want to see me naked?"

Yuuki stared at Zero wide-eyed before replying a "No." and rushing out of his room.

Zero closed his dorm room behind him and locked it before he took a nap since his peaceful sleep was disturbed by vampires.

Author's rambling area: I know that this chapter is crappy and I know that there is no swimming here. But it comes in the next chapter. This one serves as a filler since I can't think of anything to write. But, rest assured, I already planned for the real deal. :)

Again, guys, I'm so sorry if I will not be able to update soon. I will try to update tomorrow if I can.

So... uhm... Please review and tell me guys what you think.

~P.S. Should I still continue? Or should I not?
