Chapter 9: Well...that was unexpected.
The following day Ami went to class as normal, having to endure extremely long lectures she received from some extremely annoying teachers. The day had only just begun and it already felt as if it needed to end. During her classes she didn't even say a word to Zero or Yuki or anyone at that, only a good morning when she first saw them. During lunch was when someone finally decided it was time to see what was up Ami.
"Hey…" Zero called Ami whose was face buried in her arms. "I'm talking to you." Ami was being quieter than usual and that meant that something was bothering her which meant Zero was going to keep poking her until she said something to him or threw a book at him. Either one was fine.
"I hope you know I won't stop bothering you until you at the very least acknowledge my existence."
Finally feeling annoyed Ami's head shot up and she grabbed Zero's "poking finger."
"Zero...what…do...YOU WANT?"
"Damn, you look like shit."
"Oh gee thanks, you sure know how to make a lady feel special." Ami said a sour tone.
" That's just the kind of gentleman I am. Now tell me what's wrong with you? You've been every quite today and that isn't like you."
"Uh huh."
"Does this have to do with what happened yesterday?"
"Oh no, that's a different matter on its own."
"So then what's got you so down in the dumps?"
"Well it does have something to do with what happened yesterday. During the whole argument with Kaname there was this ominous aura that was lurking about I can't figure it out but somehow I recognized it, and that's got me worried." The look on Ami's only showed seriousness and she did a good job at hiding the fact that in reality she was scared." That and the fact that I had a major headache last night I only got an hour of sleep, that is why I am so down in the dumps today."
"That explains why you look like shit." Zero said seriously while Ami sent him a death glare. "Anyways, the chairman sent for you."
"Me? Why does he need me?"
"Because you're now apart the safety committee…remember?" Zero's face had an ever so evil smile that just made Ami want to punch him right then and right there. Zero stood up and held out his hand for Ami to take which she accepted and they headed towards the chairman's office. On their way to the chairman's office they got a few stares from the other students.
"Zero you can let go of my hand now."
"No."
"But then people will get the wrong impression."
"That's good."
"You're a bastard I hope you know that."
"You know you love me and I hope you know that."
"Let's just get this over with."
Zero opened the door that lead to the chairman's office, Ami's hand still in his possession,as soon as he stepped in the chairman came flying at Zero knocking him to the ground, leaving Ami to stare at them with an uncontrollable laugh.
"You find this so funny don't you?" he said to Ami who just nodded her head in agreement."Hey get off of me!" Zero roughly pushed the chairman off of him and picked himself up.
"Why do you have to me so mean to daddy?" The chairman questioned with a small pout on his face. He then looked up at Ami and realized that she was still there."Oh right, glad you could make it Miss Moon." He picked himself up and extended his hand towards Ami who accepted it.
"Glad I could make it? I was pretty much forced and dragged to be here."
"True, but forced and dragged?" The chairman took a seat behind his desk and looked very thoughtful. "Is Zero being a bad boyfriend? Son haven't I taught you anything on how to treat women?!"
"Shut up. She isn't my girlfriend." Zero said looking away from the chairman and Ami.
"Boy-boyfriend? Who said he was my boyfriend?!" Ami couldn't believe what she was hearing. Zero her boyfriend? "Where would you get such an idea from?"
"Where would I not get it from? I run a school do I not?"
"…And people have been talking haven't they?"
"Indeed they have, but I think the two of you make a cute couple whether you're dating or not!" The chairman made a noise that sounded like a squeal.
"I have a headache." Ami said.
"You're not the only one." Zero added.
"We digress so please the both of you sit down."
Ami and Zero both took a seat and waited for the chairman to talk while he was looking through some paper work. "As you know I have added you to the safety committee and being part of such an important group comes with many responsibilities. Since you know of the existence of vampires and their whereabouts at this school it is your responsibility to keep the students safe along with Zero and Yuki. This entitles you to stay up during the night class hours patrolling the grounds."
"I'm assuming that these vampires are able to control their thirst for blood or at the very least have some way of controlling that thirst, otherwise they would not be in this academy. Now what you're really telling me is that I have to keep watch of these vampires just in case they decide to massacre the entire academy out of someone uncontrollable thirst one day?"
"You're a smart one." The chairman spoke with a devilish smirk on his lips.
Ami let out a long sigh and ran her fingers through her hair. "I want my mommy."
"Cheer up Miss Moon, think on the bright side."
"Bright side? WHAT BRIGHT SIDE?" She made sure to stress the words "bright side."
"You'll be with Zero…"
"THAT'S HORRIBLE!"
"Oh gee thanks." Zero said and rolled his eyes.
"And you'll be up all night, so here's your arm band!" The chairman was thoroughly enjoying Ami's distress, it was adorable.
"My life is officially over." Reaching over Ami grabbed the arm band from the chairman and slumped back into her seat.
"Not yet. It'll be over when the fan girls find out that you'll be able to see the night class all night."
"What kind of chairman are you?!"
"I'm the best of the best. Now get going break is almost over and you don't want to be late for your next class."
"Let's get going." Zero got up from his seat and pulled Ami towards the door who was mumbling something about a horrible chairman.
"Wait!" Ami turned around to look at the chairman. "I just have one question."
"And what might that be?"
"Why here? I mean why do you have vampires in your academy?"
The chairman's words were spoken with such care that you knew what he said is what he truly felt deep down in his heart."Such a simple question with such a simple answer. Don't you see? They want to coexist with humans peacefully;I'm just here to provide them with that opportunity. Now run along."
The walk back to class was quiet and depressing. Ami looked like her life was over, which in a way it pretty much was. What could be worse than hormonal fan girls? Hormonal fan girls who are out for your blood, maybe?
The rest of the school day went the same as the walk to class; quiet and an imaginary dark cloud hanging over Ami's head. For someone who was pretty cheerful she truly looked depressed which caused some of the students to worry about her. The real problem began when the final bell rang, signaling that classes were over for the day.
"And so it begins…" Ami lifted herself up and made her way to any another place that didn't involve hearing the piercing screams of the hormonal student body. The plan was to find the perfect place to hide for the next few hours. Bingo, the horse stables! Of course nothing she ever plans…well goes as planned because Zero had somehow managed to grab ahold of her.
"Where do you think you're going Miss Moon?"
"Zero please leave me alone." She grabbed his jacket and buried her face in his chest, body language clearly showing signs of fatigue and stress." I'm too tired for all this, tired to talk even tired to argue with you."
He inhaled letting out a long sigh as he ran his fingers through her hair." I'm tired too. In fact I'm tired of most of the female student body but that doesn't mean I get to slack off and not do what needs to be done."
"Bull crap. You slack off all the time!" She buried her face further into Zero's chest and started whining more. "All the time…you slack off all the damn time."
"Well that's just me now let's get going before the girls get out of control."
Zero took Ami by the hand and dragged her out to the night class gates and when they got there what they saw wasn't too pretty. Either there was a look of confusion or anger on the fan girls faces when they saw that Ami had the one thing that let her be a part of the night. She wore the safety committee arm band.
"What?!"
"Why does she get to take care of the night class?"
"Yeah she doesn't even admire them!"
"We love you!"
The fan girls started yelling such obscene things that Ami found it hard to even process half of what they said.
"Hey!" Ami yelled. "Do you think I asked for this?" She pointed at the arm band. "Wait. Haven't we gone through this before?"
Zero pushed her further into the crowd where Yuki was. "Oh yea, we've totally done this before."
"Great." Ami said in a stale tone.
"Right?"
"Well since I've done this before I'll just be leaving!" Ami quickly made her great escape before Yuki or even worse Zero, could do anything to stop her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Zero started to make his way towards Ami but was stopped by little Yuki.
"Let her go, she can't hide from her responsibilities forever and she especially cannot hide from you."
Zero crossed his arms over his chest, took a deep breath, and exhaled. "You're right. She'd probably drive herself crazy trying to do that. I'll find her after we deal with these monsters."
"Of course I'm right."
For the next ten minutes Zero and Yuki made sure that the students went to their dorms and that the night class got to class on time and Zero seemed to be in a rush.
"Go." Yuki said in a harsh tone.
"Huh? Go where Yuki?"
"I know you want to find Ami, so just go." Yuki started walking away from Zero but stopped in her tracks. "Just don't take all night, okay?" She gave Zero a small smile.
"Uh okay? You seem…chipper today?"
"Happy is all. Now Zero stop slacking and go find her." With the Yuki turned her back to Zero and disappeared into the shadows.
"I think I will never come to understand Yuki…" Zero let out a sigh and started looking for Ami.
Now out of the all the places to find she chooses the most obvious place…the stables.
Zero found her lying in a pile of hay sound asleep and Zero being who he was decided that he should teach her a thing or two, maybe even three. He lowered himself to her level and put his legs on either side of her and grabbed her wrist so she couldn't wiggle free.
"Hey. Wake up."
"…"
"Hey idiot wake the hell up before I kill you." He said a little louder.
"Hmm?" After a bit Ami finally stirred awake. "Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Ami yelled at Zero. "Zero why are you just staring at me? Let go of me!"
"Request dismissed."
"Reque-"
Ami's words were muffled by a kiss that Zero placed on her lips. What started out as a small kiss became full of passion and lust, most of which was coming from Zero. Zero's tongue caressed Ami's lower lip begging for entrance which she granted. He took Ami's hands which were intertwined in his hair and placed them over her head, holding them there with one hand and unbuttoning her shirt with the other.
"Wait Zero please. Wait don't do that!" Starting from the top of Ami's breast Zero's tongue started making its way to her neck. When he reached her neck he stopped there just taking in her scent.
"Please…let me go." She said in between whimpers. Something was wrong with Zero he was acting completely different from the norm. She felt that same ominous presence from the night before lurking about. Ami started to panic when she felt something sharp rub against her neck.
Pushing Zero off of her she bolted out the stables, leaving Zero by his lonesome. When she was outside the presence she felt before was gone, only a letter remained on the ground. The letter was black with golden letters that read "Artemis" which was closed off with a gold seal. The symbol on the seal made Ami's heart sink to the floor, if it were possible.
"Sporting a new look now are we?" A voice asked.
Ami who was still crouched down on the ground looked up to be faced with the eyes of Kaname, who just seemed to have impeccable timing as of late.
"New look...?" Ami question herself before she realized what he was talking about; her shirt was still unbuttoned halfway revealing a good portion of her chest. Getting up she quickly put her arms over her chest and turned around only to bump into Zero's chest. As if by instinct when she met with Zero's chest she buried her face into it and wrapped her arms around him.
"You filthy leech, what did you do to her?" Zero barked as he held Ami's head close to his chest.
"I? What did I do more like what did you do? She was like this when I came out here you twit."
It was then that Zero took note of her behavior, she visibly shaking in his arms and it was only then that he realized that she had been crying.
"Why are you out here class isn't over?"
"I'm out here because I sensed a disturbance, more disturbing than the mere thought of your filthy hands all over her."
"Cut to the chase. " Zero was beginning to get annoyed with the situation at hand. "Why are you here when you should be in class?"
"Like I said I sensed a disturbance,the atmosphere went from clam to malice just like that." Kaname snap his fingers. "But now whatever or whoever was here is not anymore and since we're here you might want to fix" He twirled his index finger at Zero and Ami. "this."
"What is there to fix?" Zero growled.
Zero was getting anger extremely anger which was never good. Feeling his tension Ami pulled away from Zero and started walking away.
"Where are you going?" Both Zero and Kaname asked in unison.
"To my dorm." Ami answered in a meek voice.
"Let me take-" Kaname started to say but was interrupted by Ami's rejection. "No. Neither of you just…"She let out a small sigh. "just leave me be."
Ami walked at a slow pace back to her dorm while holding the letter to her chest. Never in her life had she been so frighten by the seven simple letters.
