Hello my dear readers!
I'm really sorry for making you all wait so long. The 24th of october is Zero-kun's birthday and here I come upload it in November.
I appologize. But here I am to give you two chapters on one day to make up to you all!
ANYWAY, The title of the chapter is very clear. This is right after the previous chapter where Zero sort of introduced the nightclass and the special guests to eachother. Zero is not sitting in the bus yet. Itsuki and the night class are already in the bus and Train just walks in with some weird bagagge.
Now I'll stop talking and let you enjoy this chapter!
Zero Gaiden Chapter 9: The last minutes before take-off!
On the upperdeck of Logan's bus
Train stands in the seventh row of the upper deck of the bus. Across of him are the orange haired girl named Rima Touya and the pocky snacking boy named Senri Shiki. He doesn't know that because Zero didn't introduce the people of the night class at all. The two in front of him do not really seem to care about getting to know him either, causing a little awkward silence.
"Hey Shiki, don't you think the bus driver is a kind of weird?" Rima Touya asks Shiki Senri ignoring Trains existence.
"Yea. Like chairman Cross."
"You mean Logan-sama?" The boy with brown spiky hair says from the seat in front of the two vampire models. "He is crazy, but also a very, very intelligent man."
"He is?" Rima asks raising her eyebrow.
"Yup." The boy answers and lifts a cardboard box from the floor and puts it on a seat.
"What was your name again?" Shiki asks the boy.
"My name is Train, Train Heartnet. And you two are?"
"Eh, my name is Rima Touya and this is Shiki Senri." The girl says,her emotionless doll face becomes a very little more lively as she answers him.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Rima-chan, Shiki-kun."
"Nice to meet you too." Rima says and looks at Shiki who then says; "Ditto."
"Hmm, you're not much of a talker are you, Shiki-kun?"
Shiki nods at him, not a single hint of change in his emotionless face.
"Hehe, that reminds me of a summer school teacher in Sorajima, Cloud-sensei. He didn't say much either."
"Just. What did he teach while barely talking?" Rima asks confused.
"Cloud-sensei is a swordsman. He wielded this massive sword with just one hand. Cloud-sensei used to say the technique we were going to learn and the rest of the lesson was pure practice. He would only say things like 'higher' or 'more force' and things like that."
"What kind of summer school is that?" Ruka looks at Train, a little worried.
"A Sorajiman summer school." Train answers with a smile. "You are going to see a lot of weird things there in Sorajima."
"Like people who carry cardboard boxes?" Rima looks at Train and then at the box he had put on the seat next to him.
"What's inside that box Train-kun?" Ruka asks the boy.
"A present for Zero-kun's birthday."
"His birthday?"
"Yes. So, eh. Are you guys friends with Zero or-..?"
"No." Someone behind Ruka says. A blond guy with ice blue eyes. "We don't like vampire hunters."
"Hanabusa!" Ruka shouts. "You can't just say that, they might not even know-!"
"V-vampire hunters?" Ringo repeats from her seat more in the front.
"What do you mean vampire hunters?" Kazuma asks.
"Oh no." Ruka says worriedly.
"Ringo, Kazu, don't worry." Itsuki stands up and looks at Hanabusa Aidou. "Maybe it's time to introduce ourselves properly to each other.
"Wait, Ikki, are you a vampire hunter?"
"No Kazu!" Itsuki shouts at his friend. "Anyway, what do you think? Nightclass president?"
Kaname lifts his head to the side from the back of the bus to meet Itsuki's eyes. His eyes are more serious than in the beginning, when they weren't even introduced to each other by Zero.
"I think that is a good idea." Kaname says.
Row 4: "Alright, I'll begin. My name is Itsuki Minami. The girl with the cherry red hair is Ringo Noyama and this guy with the grey beanie is Kazuma. In my world we are using these machines on our shoes. They are a sort of roller-skates on engines called Air-Tracks. Or AT's for short."
"It enhances our speed and movements." Ringo tells.
"Yeah, and we do battles with other groups and in underground tournaments." Kazuma adds.
Row 7: "Ok, well I'm Train Heartnet and I am a sweeper. In other words a demon killer and the man in the white suit with the eyepatch you saw outside the bus, is a fellow sweeper, his name is Sven Vollfied."
Row 8: "I'm Rima Touya and this is Senri Shiki. We are models."
Row 9: "I am Ruka Souen. Next to me sits Kain Akatsuki.
Row 10: "I am Takuma Ichijou and I apologize for Hanabusa Aidou's rude behavior today. On the other side is Maria Kurenai-san, she is asleep right now."
Row 14: "I am Kaname Kuran and next to me is Yuuki Kuran, my fiancée. As you might know now we are all vampires. And vampires all have a special ability. I do want you to know that before you decide to pick a fight. Rima, controls lightning, Senri , manipulates blood, Ruka can create illusions, Kain controls fire, Hanabusa creates ice, Takuma can dematerialize material and Maria can communicate with birds as for me, let's keep it to shape shifting and telekinesis."
"I see." Itsuki says. "Nice to meet you all."
Train looks at Itsuki. "Hey, did you notice that too, Ikki?"
Itsuki looks back at Train. "What Train?"
"Kain Akatsuki, and Maria Kurenai?"
Itsuki rubs his chin. "Yea now you say it…"
Ruka hears them mentioning her classmates. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing Ruka-san. I just smell another reference here…"
Ikki looks at Kain. "Maybe the author tried to spell Pain?"
Train also looks at Kain. "Hmm, Kain-san?"
Kain looks at Zero's friends. "Yeah?"
Train looks at Itsuki. "No man. It's really Kain."
Itsuki looks back at Train. "Maybe, just maybe, this isn't a reference from the author…"
"No, it must be. I mean Kurenai and Akatsuki, that's not a coincidence. Not possible! This must be a plain Naruto reference."
"Wow, that's genius-." Zero says.
Ikki looks at Row 1. "Zero when did you get here?"
Train's eyes sparkle. "Zero did you call me genius?"
"I'm not really a loud person, and there is a stair to the front seat from where the bus driver sits."
Zero looks at Train. "I called the idea of these stairs here genius. All the nightclass members are originals."
Itsuki chuckles. "Maybe you should give your instincts a little rest, Train."
"Ha-ha, but guys there has to be a reference somewhere. Every chapter has one."
"Pst, Rima." Shiki whispers.
"What?" The girl whispers back.
"These guys are crazier than chairman Cross."
Rima looks at the duo in front of her.
"Maybe this chapter was supposed to be referenceless?"
"Is that even a word Ikki?"
"It is now."
"I refuse to believe it."
"Well… BELIEVE IT!"
"Yes!" Train jumps up and down from happiness. "Yes, yes!"
"I see what you did there Train." Zero comments.
"What did you see Zero? That Train tricked me into making a Naruto reference?"
Rima turns her head back to her friend. "I'm afraid you're right Sen."
"Aaaaaaaaaalright everybody! It's time to sit down!" Logan's voice sounds through the speakers of the bus. "Welcome in my pride, the Low_G bus. I'm Logan your bus driver, please abide the rules and enjoy your travel, youthful students!"
The bus drove off and the students wondered where Sorajima could be. Rima wondered if the chairman wasn't the crazier one after all, while feeding Senri some chocolate flavored pocky.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter dear reader :3
