When the Night Class was in session and having a maths lesson, Sara's mind wandered. She couldn't stop thinking about how Zero was suffering.
"That poor boy." she whispered.
"Who's a poor boy?" Mayumi whispered. Sara looked up at her.
"Oh, don't mind me. I was just day dreaming." Sara leaned back in her seat.
"May I ask you what?" Mayumi asked. Sara shook her head.
"You know better as to not ask that of me. My thoughts are my own."
"Forgive me, Sara-sama, I overstepped my boundries. I'm sorry." Mayumi said reverently. Sara appeared not to have heard her. She gazed up at the moon, not knowing what to think. Suddenly, throught the open window, a breeze blew in, carrying the scent of blood. Everyone looked up, startled by this. Sara used this as an excuse to investigate. She snook off, making sure nobody noticed her departure. She walked down the corridor, being careful not to bump into any of the disciplinary committee. She followed the scent of blood outside. She knew that she was breaking the rules by following the scent, but she had to investigate. The scent led her to the Headmaster's private lodgings. The was slightly open and Sara slipped inside. She nearly gagged at the smell of the sweet smelling blood. She clamped her hand over her mouth.
She climbed upstairs where the scent was strongest. Sara walked down the corridor to the first door she came to. She didn't bother knocking. She crept inside. There was no one there, but the smell was nausiating.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" She proceeded into the room. She heard a pained gasp and Sara's head instinctively turned her head to another door, what appeared to be an en suite bathroom. The door was open a crack and Sara tiptoed over to the door and peeked inside. She had to stifle a gasp at what she saw. Zero had her his fangs in what looked like to be Yuuki's neck. He'd given in to his vampiric nature.
She had to stop what was happening. It was her duty as a pureblood and try to help in the best way she could. She opened the door fully and let the light pour in. Zero and Yuuki look up, interrupting their little rendezvous.
"Sara! What are you doing here?" Yuuki gasped. Sara raised an eyebrow. She sauntered inside lazily.
"What do think you're doing? Even I know that drinking blood is strictly against school rules."
"Please, Sara, I know that this...is breaking the rules, but Zero was wounded by his master, Toga Yagari. He shot him in the shoulder with an anti-vampire weapon!"
"So, he uses you as his prey...how interesting..." Sara mused. "Yuuki...get out. I want to talk to Zero alone."
Yuuki's eyes widened. "But, Sara-" She was interrupted by Sara.
"I said get out." Sara said coldly. Yuuki gulped.
"On one condition...that you don't hurt him."
"Whatever you say." Sara said coolly. Yuuki looked back at Zero and then slowly walked out, stalling a little. Once Yuuki was gone, Sara walked over to Zero and knelt beside him. She placed two fingers underneath his chin, pushing his face up to see him.
"Oh, how the mighty have fallen..." Sara said in a tone which Zero couldn't read. Sara removed her fingers from his chin and licked the blood off the tips of her fingers. "Mmmm, delicious...no wonder you liked it so much."
Zero glared at her. "What do you want, Vampire?" He growled.
"I want to help you." She said plainly. She pulled her collar way from her neck. "Drink."
"What makes you think that I would want to drink from you?" Zero growled.
"One, I drank from you; two, I'm the best chance you've got of not becoming a Level E and three, I don't want you harming Yuuki. She's a sweet girl and I wouldn't want her to...get hurt..." Sara said threateningly. Zero continued to glare at her. Sara shuffled forward so that she had her neck near his mouth. She steadied herself by placing her hands on his chest. "Come on, Zero...your bloodlust hasn't subsided..." Sara smirked softly and she raised one of her sharp nails to her neck and drew some blood, tempting him. She then felt Zero's iron grip on her fore arms, making her wince and the icy sting of his fangs sink into her neck made her cry out. She heard his soft gulps and tightly closed her eyes. The initial sting was now subsiding and she relaxed. However, as she did so, Sara felt somewhat weaker than before. She tried to pull away but Zero had an iron grip on her arms and she started to panic. "Zero, that's enough...please...stop..." she said weakly. Sara pushed against his chest. Zero pulled away, blood dripping from his mouth.
"Heh...I'm such a monster..." Zero whispered, avoiding her gaze.
"You're no more than a monster than me, Zero." Sara whispered and she put a hand to his cheek, making him look up at her. "Do not deny who you've become, Zero...if you embrace and use it to your full advantage and potential." she stood up and wiped away the blood from her neck with a paper towel and soughted out her appearence in the mirror. "I have to get back or...Kaname will have a hissy fit if I don't get back. He's tightened my security and I've already broken half a dozen school rules already. Please take my advice on board...if nothing else." and she left with out another word.
When Sara returned to the Moon Dorm, she was in deep trouble. Aidou was waiting for her. "Sara-sama," he started gravely, "Kaname-sama would like a word with you." Sara swallowed and nodded. She walked, straight backed upto Kaname's room, her face unreadable. She knocked on his door.
"Enter." she heard him say. Sara steeled herself and opened the door. Takuma was sitting on the couch and Kaname was sitting behind his desk. Kaname looked up at Sara. "Ah, Sara, so glad you could join us." Kaname stood up. "Can you explain to me why I can smell your blood and Kiryuu's scent all over you? Did you give your blood to him?"
"Kaname, what I do with my blood is none of your business. He needed it, I gave it to him. You have no say in the matter." Sara said icily.
"While you attend this school and under my care, it IS my business. You are MY ward, lest you forget. What you do with your body is my business." Kaname hissed. Sara raised an eyebrow and turned to Takuma.
"Ichijo, can you believe what he's saying?"
"Actually, I can. He's quite right. Your pure blood is far to precious to be given to the likes of him."
Sara gave him a shocked look. "How can you say that? The poor boy has been through so much...he needs our help, not our disdain." Sara said coolly.
"Sara, you are confined to your quarters for the next three days. You'll be fully guarded at all times. Is that understood?" Kaname said with out emotion.
Sara gave him a look of disgust. "Understood. But I don't see why? I am the leader of my clan and I am stronger than I look. I'm perfectly capable of making my own decisions."
Kaname's expression was emotionless. "Ichijo, please leave us." Takuma nodded and walked out, closing the door behind him. Sara and Kaname were silent for a long time. But, Kaname soon broke the silence. "You haven't proved that you are stronger than you look when your were attacked by your fiancé. Yes, you are a pureblood, but you're barely stronger than me."
"How dare you say that?" Sara hissed.
Kaname moved quickly from behind his desk and pinned her against the nearby wall, pinning her hands above her head. "Let me go." she hissed.
"If you think that you're strong enough, try and break free."
Sara tried to wrench her wrist out of his grip, but, if anything, his grip tightened in an unpleasant way. Sara soon gave up, not being able to cope with the pain on her wrists.
"Okay...I give up." Sara whispered in defeat. Kaname immediately let go of her, letting her back slide down the wall until she was on the floor.
"Let that be a lesson, Sara. You have much to learn," Kaname said, "But, please forgive me. You're too nice for your own good." Kaname helped her up and led her to the door. Sara wrenched herself out of his grip resentfully. She opened the door to see Takuma was waiting for her. She didn't even look up at him when she walked towards her room. When she arrived at her suite, she slammed the door in his face, wanting to be alone.
A/N Well that's it for tonight and when I update tomorrow, I'll be a whole year older! Yeah, it's my birthday! Whoop! As Takuma Ichijo said, "I'm a big girl now!" anyways, See ya next time!
