That day flew by really fast. The whole time I was fighting my sleep and listening to the lessons. My notes were pretty messy.

-Hey, Nora!

-Yeah?

I turned around. Zero came to me. He looked really embarrassed.

-Um, did you write the notes for history?

-Yeah.

-Can I … borrow?

I chuckled.

-Sure. Here.

-Did you fall asleep again?

-Yes, for a while.

I laughed. I could see a faint blush on his face.

-Hey, you two!

Yuuki came.

-We have a plan for giving the chocolates. Look at it. She took out a paper.

-DAMN! I gotta see the chairman!

-Why?

-I need to ask him something about Aidou. I'll see the plan later. Cya!

I ran of. I didn't forget the deal.

-FF-

-Did you understand?

Yuuki asked the Night class members.I was sitting on a wall and watching with amusement in my eyes. They were actually listening!

-Nora!

Aidou waved with his free hand. I jumped down.

-Yeah?

-Do I get any?

I smiled.

-Well, Santa said-

-Yes or No?!?

He was anxious. I took out a green box.

-You're lucky.

He grinned.

-I am.

Then he hugged me.

-Thank you, Nora-chan.

Aidou said loud enough for everyone to hear.

-You trying to kill me?

-What do you mean?

-sigh-

-Those things heard you! Let go!

I struggled. He let me go.

-You are mean!

He pouted. I stuck my thong out to him.

-You two are so childish.

-Akatsuki-kun!

-sigh-

-Yeah?

-Here.

I grinned.

-Where are Kaname-kun, and Takuma-kun?

-Over there.

I looked at that direction.

-Gotta give them some, too.

-Thanks for the chocolate.

-No prob.

I went to Kaname and Ichijou, and gave each a box of chocolate.

-Thank you, Nora-chan.

Takuma smiled. Kaname bent and whispered something in my ear. I burst laughing after hearing those words. He really does have a sense of humor! They left. Yuuki approached.

-What did he whisper to you?

-He told me that I blew his cover.

-What does he mean by that?

-He told those girls that his hands were full.

I giggled. So did Yuuki. It was Zero's time for night guard, so I went to my room.

-Trisha? Where are you?

No response.

-Don't play with me! I'm not in the mood!

-Meow!

I spotted her. She looked sad.

-What's wrong?

- Meow

My expression changed.

-Trisha.

- Meow.

-Trisha, talk to me!!!

Tears fell from my eyes.

-Meow.

-No, no, no!

I

fell to my knees. Arms around me.

-Gran, what happened to you?

I stood up. A spell will break only if something happens to the witch that has put it. I found my cell phone and called her.

Znggg Zngggg

I heard nothing else. I called again.

-Pick up, pick up, pick up!

I walked around the room.

-'Nora'?

-Gran?!

-'No, it's me, Dimitry.'

-Diritry? What happened to Gran?

-'I'm sorry. I didn't make it.'

I felt my heart sink. Silence.

-'Nora? Are you still there?'

-Yes.

-'Where are you? Are you safe?'

-Yes.

-'Do you have the book?'

-Which book?

-'The witchcraft book.'

-Yes.

-'Keep it safe.'

-Ok.

-'I need to talk to you. In person.'

-Ok. I'm at the Cross Academy.

-'Stay there. Don't leave the grounds. I'll be there in a few hours.'

-That's impossible!

-'Not for me. What's your room number?'

-13.

-'Ok. Cya soon.'

I put the phone down. Tears were falling to the flour.

- Meow.

-Come, Trisha, I'll cast the spell again.

She followed me. Next few hours after the casting we waited for Dimitry in silence. A knock was heard on the door. I opened it.

-Dimitry?

I hugged him.

-I'm so happy to see you again.

He smiled.

-You're not the only one. Listen. They are after you and the book.

-Who?

-B-hunters. They are working for the Council.

-How do you-

-I'm a pureblood.

-What!? Why didn't you tell me?

-It's forbidden by law.

-Than how-

-You already know that we exist. I'm just telling you I'm not human.

Tears filled my eyes.

-I'm loosing it.

-What?

-Witchcraft.

-How? Why?

-Don't know. For the spell of speaking I needed 2 hours. It usually takes 15 minutes!

-Nora, I'm so sorry.

-It's not you're fault.

-You're right. Now calm down. I will go see the Chairman and-

-Will you transfer here?

-For now.

I hugged him.

-Thank you. Thank you so much.

I smiled trough my tears.

-Now, now, calm down. Stop crying. Ok?

-Uhum.

I wiped my tears away quickly.

-You're like a kid.

-What?!?

-Kidding.

-sigh-

-I'm going to the Chairman. You stay here.

-Ok.

-I'll put a seal on your door. Ok?

-Ok.

He went out and I heard a click on the door. Dimitry place the seal. Why did I have to stay here? Why did he want to protect me? From what, would be a better question. Why am I loosing my powers? What's wrong with me? I heard a knock on the door.

-Nora?

Came Takuma's voice.

-Yeah?

-Can I come in?

-Well I wish you could.

-What's wrong?

-There's a seal on my doors. Nobody can enter.

-Why don't you release it?

-I can't?

-Why?

-It's too strong.

-Can you use ur window?

-Sure. But this is the THIRD floor, Takuma.

-Aidou is down there, we figured you'd be locked.

-But why, and how?

-I'll tell you later, now move. Ok?

I took Trisha in my arms and opened the window. I saw Aidou down there.

-Yo!

He greeted.

-Hi!

-C'mon, jump!

-Are you crazy?!? I'll die!

-Trust me on this one!

-I will hold you responsible if something happens to me!

-Fine, now, jump already!

I stood on the edge of the outer window and looked down. My head felt dizzy. Has Aidou lost his mind?!? Well, whatever I trust him. I let go of the frame and jumped down. Trisha hurried into my shirt. I felt her nails sink into my skin. Than my fall was stopped. There was something cold around me and then I landed into Aidou's arms. I immediately hugged him while closing my eyes.

-Um, Nora? What's wrong?

-I'm afraid of highs ever since I fell from the school roof. You don't know how scared was I! I'll kill Takuma! And YOU, of course! Making me jump from the third floor! Sheesh!

-Well, you have all body parts and you are alive, what more can you ask for?

-Ahhh! STAIRS!

We both laughed.

-Put me down.

I struggled.

-Fine.

My feel touched the ground. Trisha's head popped up from my shirt.

-Nora, meow, maybe you, meow, should, meow, go see Kaname-kun, meow, and ask him-

-Sure. Thanks for reminding me.

I ran towards the Moon Dorm, totally forgetting Aidou. He stood there for a few moments, and then went to search for Ichijou.

I entered the Dorm and went straight to Kaname's room. I slowly opened the door.

-Hi, Nora-chan.

-Hello, Kaname-kun.

-I need to ask you.

-Yeah?

-Why is Dimitry of the Russian Royal family here?

-He came to see me. My Gran…

My tears swallowed the rest of my words. Kaname came closer and then hugged me.

-I know how you feel. If you ever need somebody to talk to, I'll be right here.

-Thanks, Kaname-kun.

He pulled me onto his lap, and I cried there, remembering the first time I met him.

*Flashback*

It was a warm summer night. I was about 8 years old. Dressed in a light-blue dress I was just jumping from rock to rock over the river. My purple hair was tied in a pony tail. Blue sapphires were glowing from it like drops on the leaves. I had no shoes on so jumping was easy. Then something flashed beside me. I looked around. My feet slipped from the rock, and I fell into the water. I shivered. Then I heard it.

-There you are, Kirei-sama. We were searching for you.

From the shadows stepped out a woman with long black hair. Her clothes were green and looked like a kimono. She was beautiful yet my senses told me she was dangerous.

-I am Annanes. I was sent to lead you back, hime-sama.

I looked at her in confusion.

-What if I don't want to come with you, oneechan?

-Than I shall use force.

I shot her a cold glare.

-If you can catch me without your magic skills I will come with you, oneechan, but if you don't you'll have to leave me alone.

-Agreed.

She jumped and almost caught my hand, but I was faster. I went from rock to rock almost not touching them with my feet. She chased me for about an hour. Annanes got tired, but I didn't. it was just a game to me. A game of tag.

-You can't catch me? Haha!

I ran again. She didn't follow. I heard her whispering something. Water from the river wrapped around my little body.

-No, let go, let go! Liar! You cheated! We said no magic!

-I don't care! You are coming with me, now!

-She told you to let her go. I suggest you listen to her, Miss Milorasanti.

Said a calm voice. I looked around, searching for the person who said that.

-Kaname-sama.

The girl released me and bowed to me. I looked confused.

-Let's go, Miss de Rigeria.

The voice was coming from behind me. I turned around to see a boy, a bit older than me, looking at me pretty seriously. I smiled.

-There is nobody here named 'Miss de Rigeira'. My name is Eleonora, you can call me Nora.

He looked confused

-I-I-I'm Kaname. Ka-Kaname Kuran.

He stuttered while trying to recompose himself.

-Nice to meet you Kaname-kun.

I hugged him. I felt his body tense up.

-What's wrong?

I looked up to him with my silver eyes.

-Nothing, I'm just not used to this.

I smiled.

-Then, would you prefer me to let go?

-No, please don't. it's nice this way.

He blushed and looked away.

-Well the, I'm not sure how to go back home while clinging to you.

I grinned.

-I think I can help, but don't tell anyone what you saw, ok?

-You're going to do a magic trick, right, like Annanes!?!

He smiled to me.

-Something like that.

Wind blew around us and we flew trough the air. That night when he brought me home, we talked and joked 'till it was about 2AM. He promised that we will see each other again.

-When, Kaname-kun? When?

-When time comes. Goodnight now.

He smiled and vanished. From that day we didn't see each other 'till I came to fill my papers for the Cross Academy.

*End of Flashback*

I looked up to him.

-I'm so confused, Kaname-kun. I don't know what to do and whom to trust. Why is the witchcraft book so important? Who is the person searching for it? Why me, why didn't Gran give it to someone more responsible? Why me…

I started crying again.

-You don't remember your past lives. Nobody does. You are older than most of us, Nora-chan. You wrote that book, you are the red-eyed banshee, the person who was once possessed by the Cat-demon. Don't you remember? Try harder.

I closed my eyes and images went trough my mind. Voices, faces, battles.
