~Chapter VIII~
Time's Up
(Part 2)
Hello fellow slaves of mine~ I am once again in the Headmaster's office. I swear. This is the most I've been in trouble at school! I bet if we combined every student's attendance in the Headmaster's office, it wouldn't even compare to mine! Why was I in trouble again? I have no fucking idea!
But guess who's here with me? Let me help you. She has the most flawless skin I have ever seen, a tiny figure, a lolita appearance, and also the most cutest face ever! Still don't know? IT'S RIMA TOUYA! She was sitting right across from me! OMFG!
I ignored the glare she was sending me and smiled the biggest smile I had at her! She's so cute! Aww~ glaring at me as if she hates me~ She's also really shy I see. I better lure her into my grasp!
"So, Rima-chan~," I started, "You're really cute~"
She turned her head away from me with her hands crossed.
How cute~
Suddenly the door open to show the Headmaster entering and Zero right behind him. Tch. They fucking ruined my and Rima's romantic mood.
"Sorry to keep you two waiting," Daddy-kun stated as he went to sit in his chair. Zero followed him but stood by the window with his hands in his pockets. He was glaring at Rima. I glared at him. Why the fuck is he glaring at my beautiful Rima? Fuck him! "Let's get this done peacefully ok?" I don't know why but it looked like Daddy-kun was scared for his life. Why?
"Get what done?" I asked.
Daddy-kun ignored my question. Fuck him to then.
"Rima-chan has something to say to you Crimson-chan." Why was he standing behind Zero now?
"Really?" I stared at Rima questionally. She was still looking somewhere else besides at my gorgeous face.
"Rima-chan. Don't you have anything to say?"
"Vampire, hurry up and say it. We don't have all day to wait." Wow. Zero finally talked. But please refrain from being rude to Rima, Zero, or else I'll have to kill you.
Rima turned her head and glared at him. Wow. I've never seen Rima act like this! In her interviews she always had a cute bored face but right now it seems like she actually cares! I wonder what happened . . .
"R-rima, please~" Daddy-kun pleaded.
.
.
.
Rima sighed and slowly turned her head towards me. She really needs to stop glaring or her cute face will grow wrinkles.
"Umm, yes my lady~" I blew a kiss to her.
Was it just me or did a shade of green cross her face? Yeah it's just me. I hope she isn't sick~
". . ."
". . ."
So basically we've been staring at each other for 2 minutes now. I'm not complaining but I really need to get to class! But Rima's eyes are just too pretty to resist! By the way, I can also sense Zero's pissed off aura.
". . . I-I . . ."
"What? I couldn't hear you." Ok please speak louder Rima. How am I going to hear your cute voice if you don't talk louder!
". . . sorry . . ."
"What?"
A tick mark appeared on her.
"I'm sorry!"
.
.
.
"Ummm? I accept your apology?" Why was my favorite Idol apologizing to me?
She stood up and left quickly while slamming the door really loud.
I looked at the door she left from and at the two people present in the room.
"Was that it?"
Daddy-kun finally stepped out from hiding behind Zero's back and sighed happily. "Yes. That's it Crimson-chan~"
"Umm ok . . . Can I go to class now?"
"Yes! Zero will escort you back~"
"What?" Zero glared at him.
"Z-zero please! You also need to stop skipping classes too!"
Was that why he was here?
Anyways, I ignored the two bickering and started to head out the door . . . until I realized something. I needed to talk to Daddy-kun about something. Walking backwards to where I was at, I cleared my throat and proceeded talking. Wait. They were still bickering. How funny. Daddy-kun is on his knees begging and grabbing onto Zero's waist. Dirty thoughts right there~ Poor Zero. He really wants to get out of Daddy-kuns grip.
But I can't let this go on forever so being the most mature person here, I went up to the headmaster's desk and slammed it full force. The two stopped and looked at me.
"Zero, you can go before me. I have to talk to Cross about something." Wow. I think that's the first time I called Daddy-kun Cross! Go Crimson!
Zero didn't seem to hear me though. He glared at me instead and asked, "What?"
I glared back at him. "You heard me," I was being really serious here but it seemed like that handsome bastard wanted to pick a fight, "you can go before me. There's something I would like to discuss with Headmaster Kaien Cross by myself."
.
.
.
.
.
Thank god he left without picking a fight! I could have beaten him up if we did fight but it would be a shame to ruin that perfect face of his. Why did you have to be so handsome, Zero~
Well back to what I needed to do.
After Zero left with his hands in his pockets (and a pissed off aura) I turned my attention to Cross. He was sitting on his chair looking at me with this stupid smile per usual.
"How can I help you Crimson?"
A sexy smirked appeared on my lips, "I need to ask you a few questions if you don't mind~"
. . . . .
Takuma Ichijo was humming as he was preparing himself for another day of classes.
Shiki looked at him. "Why are you so happy?"
The blonde smiled as he turned to the maroon haired fellow, "Just something good~"
Shiki sighed knowing that was the only answer he will retrieve from his roommate.
Finishing buttoning the cuffs on his sleeves, Takuma headed to the doors. "I'll be going first Shiki~"
"Hai." The model answered still buttoning his shirt.
As Takuma strolled down the halls of the Night-Class dorm, he couldn't stop smiling. Why you ask? He was going to go see Crimson!
Now you might be wondering why. Didn't he already see the red haired lad? Of course! But this time he would properly see that red haired lad! Besides, he would like to also ask why that lad is crossdressing as a boy~
When he got to the entrance of the dorm like everybody else, he quickly made his way to his group of friends while everybody nodded their heads towards him.
Ruka looked at him like Shiki did. Questionably. "Takuma-sama?" She said.
"Yes?"
Kain, Aido, and Rima also gave him that look.
". . . Nothing."
It's better not to ask they thought.
"Where's Shiki?" Rima asked.
"He's still getting dress. Oh, nevermind~ I see him coming this way right now."
"Yo." The model greeted to the group. He headed to Rima for her pockies and startled nibbling on one. "You ok?" He asked her.
". . ." Rima didn't reply. She was still pissed off because of this morning.
Not long, the couple that everybody was waiting for arrived at the top of the stairs. Seiren was behind them like usual.
Everybody bowed to the purebloods.
With a nod, Kaname said, "Let's go."
"Hai." Everybody replied.
The pureblood couple walked down the stairs and to the front of the group. Kaname leading while Yuuki walked behind him.
They could hear the screams of the fangirls once they were out.
Some vampires cringed while others were only ignoring the screams and shouts. All but one seemed to be annoyed.
"I bet my lovely girls are once again excited to see me~" Aido remarked. It only sent him glares but he ignored it and walked happily forward.
When the doors opened, they all saw the usual site of fangirls and the Kiryuu twins.
Takuma looked around as they walked forward. Where was Crimson? He wondered. The blonde waved and smiled to his fangirls but he was mainly ignoring their cries for attention. He sighed after realizing the crossdresser wasn't there. What a shame~
"I'M SORRY I'M LATE ZERO-CHAN!" A sudden shout was heard by all. "ICHIRU-CHAN I'M ALSO SORRY FOR WALKING IN ON YOU IN THE LOCKER ROOM! BUT I MUST SAY, YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL BODY!"
.
.
.
That was really unnecessary information.
Everybody stopped to look at the red hair male running towards the Kiryuu twins. Zero looked really annoyed while Ichiru just smiled pleasantly towards him.
The night-class sent glares toward Crimson.
"So that's the new prefect."
"Why is it that shortie?"
They started cursing at him. They didn't forget what the crossdresser had done and they wouldn't ever.
"KYAA!"
"IT'S KING-SAMA!"
"OVER HERE KING-SAMA!"
Crimson halted for a bit and turned to the fangirls. She blew kisses towards them which just made their cries for attention grow louder.
"KYAA!"
The night class (who saw everything) looked at the scene dumbfounded. Including the head of the class, Kaname.
What in the world? Didn't they fear that short boy a while ago? Why are they suddenly asking for his affection?
"Hello my lovely slaves~" Crimson said as she walked towards the twins. When Crimson got to them, she was greeted by a glare from Zero. "Yo." She said while saluting to them happily.
"When did I give you permission to use Chan?" He gritted out.
"Daddy-kun uses all the time though. Why are you only being mean to me? You also need something cute to get rid of that bad-boy image of yours~"
Before the silveret could punch the annoying little brat in front of him, his brother pat his shoulder to calm him down.
"Zero. Calm down." He insisted.
With a click of his tongue, Zero walked away to the annoying fangirls and glared at them instead. "GET MOVING!" He shouted. They quickly left.
"Wow." Crimson stated.
"Crimson, why were you late today?" Ichiru asked.
"Oh! I forgot something and so I ran back to go get it at Daddy-kun's house!"
"What did you forget?"
"I forgot my do-"
"CRIMSON~" A certain blonde suddenly ran up to the crossdresser and hugged the life out of her.
"What the? It's the stupid blonde that said I was a molester!" Crimson shouted, "Why the fuck are you molesting me now?!"
"What? You don't know me Crimson?" Ichijo pulled away to look at Crimson right in the eyes.
"Should I?" Crimson raised a brow.
"When you were little you would always make me the prince when we played together!"
"Dude, let go of me!"
"Ichijo," Kaname suddenly interrupted, "You are going to make us late."
"Kana-chan!" Crimson got out of the blonde's grasp and ran to give Kaname a hug.
The sudden action shocked and infuriated all of the night-class students. Before they could say or do anything, Kaname looked back to give them a glare. They flinched at the sudden action and stopped themselves from speaking.
Turning back his attention to the crossdresser in front of him, the Pureblood spoke. "You shouldn't be late to work, Crimson."
Releasing her grip on the brunet, Crimson looked up and grinned. "Yeah, it won't happen again."
Kaname gave her a small smile and patted her head as if she was a child.
"Crimson~" Takuma suddenly tackled the female again.
"Dude!" Before Crimson could punch him in the gut, she suddenly stopped her actions when the blonde suddenly said something unexpected.
"You look just like Grey!"
.
.
.
.
.
.
"You know my brother?"
"Of course!"
". . . Who are you again?"
"What? You really don't remember?"
"Nope." She popped the 'P'.
"I'm Takuma Ichijo! Your prince charming!"
.
.
.
.
.
"Oh! Your Taco-kun!"
.
.
.
A sudden silence appeared again.
"Y-yeah." Takuma answered with a sweatdrop.
"Now I remember! Your name was so hard to pronounce when I was little so I would always called you Taco or Itchy! Yeah, I would always play princess with you! I was the princess in danger, Big brother was the horse, Kana-chan was the villain and you were the prince charming because you were blond!"
"Yep~"
"Taco-kun!" Crimson gave the blonde a huge hug which he took gratefully.
Kaname stared at the scene in front of him with a pokerface. Yep. He was getting ignored.
Yuuki, who was standing with the other students, looked as if she was about to explode. How dare that midget get affection from her dear older brother! He should know his place! If it wasn't for her fiance's glare, she would have already pulled the short male away and beaten him to death!
"That's enough," a sharp voice stepped in.
Everybody turned their attention to Zero who was glaring at all of them. His glare was mostly toward Crimson though.
"You monsters will be late if you keep on dilly dallying all day," Zero stepped forward to Crimson and Takuma. He pulled the redhead by her collar and pulled her away from Takuma's grip. "And you," He looked down at Crimson, "don't just interfere with the night-class like that!"
Crimson looked at Zero confusingly. Why the fuck was he so mad?
The vampires averted their glares from Crimson and shifted it onto the silver hair male. They knew they shouldn't attack him but they were tempted to.
"Zero," Kaname said, ". . . take good care of him." With a smile, the pureblood headed towards the school building. "Let's go everyone." He said to the others.
The night-class slowly started following their leader to the school but not before sending glares to the silver and red hair males.
"Bye Crimson~ Let's talk later!" Takuma winked at the crossdresser and took off with the others.
After everybody was out of hearing, Zero let go of Crimson and started walking off.
"Wait! Don't I get an apology? You did almost choke me to death!" Crimson shouted to him.
Zero ignored her. He continued walking to wherever he was headed.
Crimson looked at his back. Fuck him then, she thought.
"What's up his ass?"
"Crimson, are you ok?" Ichiru suddenly asked.
. . . . .
I stared at Ichiru. I totally forgot he was here honestly.
"Yeah, I'm fine but I don't think your stupid brother is."
He chuckled. "Don't mind him. He's always like that so you'll get use to it."
". . . I guess. But his attitude towards the vampires seems like he really hates them."
"Yeah. He does." Ichiru eyes suddenly began to sadden.
Did I say something wrong? Oh dear lord! I really need to shut my mouth!
"Anyways," he suddenly cutted me off from my thoughts, "I'm going to go grap something to eat before I start monitoring the school grounds. Will you be ok with Zero?"
Oh yeah . . . we have to stay up until the vampire classes are over. What the fuck man.
"Yeah I will." I gave him my reply.
He smiled at me and started walking away.
When he was finally out of my sight, I took off my bag that was on my back and opened it. I took out my most annoying and rude friend, Hatter.
"Let's go find her." I smirked at her.
She smirked back at me.
My prefect duties would have to wait because I'm a Grim Reaper first.
. . . . .
"Kaname-kun~ wait for me!" Takuma shouted as he hurried to the pureblood.
Kaname looked back to see his friend with a stupid grin. "Ichiru, you need to stop approaching the maids."
"Are you jealous that I'm getting more snacks than you? I'll share some!" The blonde finally caught up to him.
"Hardly," The two started walking again.
"Why are you in a hurry? Do you want to see Grey-chan that badly?"
"No. There's somebody else I promise to see."
"Really? Who's more important than Grey-chan?" Takuma chuckled.
Kaname only sent him a small smirk.
"I forgot. This is the first time you've been here." Kaname stated.
"Yep~"
"So you haven't met her yet."
"Who? You've been going on and on about this person!"
"You'll see. We're almost there."
"Hai~ oomph!" The blonde nobel suddenly ran into something, "Itai!"
"Oh! I'm sorry, dear!" A female voice was heard.
Rubbing his poor nose, Takuma looked up to see a woman who had light brown hair with gorgeous green eyes, "No. It's my fault for not looking." He smiled at her. "Wow! You look like Jade-chan!"
The woman chuckled. "She is my daughter afterall."
Takuma stared at her. "You're Jade-chan and Grey-chan's mom?"
"Yep~"
"Wow! You seem so young!"
"Why thank you~ Are you also Grey-chan's friend like Kaname?"
"Yep! We came here to play with him today!"
"That's nice~ Grey-chan and Jade-chan went with their father to pick up something but they should be back soon."
"Thank you for telling us Emerald-san." Kaname finally spoke. He was suddenly tackled with a hug.
"It's nice to see you again, Kaname! You're still cute as ever~"
"T-thank you."
Takuma watched the scene beside him. Wow. Emerald really did look like Jade. More like Jade really looked like her mom. He knew that Grey looked like his father but to think the two siblings looked like their parents this much was absurd. Did all of Grey's siblings look like their parents?
Emerald finally let go of Kaname. "Are you two heading towards Crimson?"
"Yes. I promised her I would come and play with her." Kaname stated.
"Crimson?" Takuma whispered to himself.
"Crimson would be very happy~ Especially since it's two handsome boys like you two! I just came back from her room and she's awake so have fun. I have to go check on my twin boys now." She gently smiled at them.
"Thank you again Emerald-san. We'll make sure to take good care of Crimson."
"Thank you~" With that, Emerald patted the two vampire heads and took off to go take care of her twins while Takuma and Kaname headed their own way.
"Kaname-kun. Who's Crimson?"
"She's Grey's youngest sister."
"Oh~" The blonde knew that the older male, Grey, had more siblings besides Jade but he never bothered learning their names.
The two finally arrived to a door.
"Takuma, Crimson is very sick. Please try not to be rough with her like you were to me and Grey when we first met."
"Hai~ I will."
With a nod, the pureblood opened the door.
"Kana-chan!"
"Hello Crimson." The pureblood smiled at her.
Takuma couldn't see Crimson yet from where he was standing. He was waiting till his pureblood friend entered the room so he could to.
"I brought a friend today," the brunet entered, "his name is Takuma Ichijo."
"Really? Where is he?"
Takuma entered the room and blushed when he saw her. She was a little girl lying on a white sheeted bed while wearing a purple night-gown with little frills on it. In her hands was a storybook that read 'Snowwhite'. What really caught his attention was the girl's hair. It was the most beautiful shade of red he have ever seen.
"H-hello." He said shyly.
Crimson looked at him then smiled. "Wow! He looks like a prince!"
Takuma blush became deeper.
. . . . .
"Takuma, why are you smiling like crazy?" Rima asked.
Takuma chuckled. "Just remembering some old memories~"
. . . . .
"Crimson."
"Yeah?"
"Do you sense her yet?"
"Nope."
I was currently walking around the school grounds trying to search for Amber. Yep. Today will be the day I confront Amber. I was getting really excited for some reason. I bet my handsome face has this really weird expression because Hatter (who was walking before me on the ground) always turned back and stared blankly at me. Fuck her.
"By the way. Who was those two?"
I gave her a weird look. "Who?"
"Those Vampires that you hugged."
"Oh! The brunet is Kaname Kuran. He's big brother's ex-lover."
She stopped and turned to me with a shock look.
"Your brother dated a Vampire?"
"Yep!"
"Is the blonde one also an ex-lover?" She started walking again.
"Umm no. I don't think so. He's Takuma Ichijo. I think I pronounced it right . . . anyways, he played with me when I was younger. Oh! I forgot that you weren't even my partner during that time. No wonder you don't know them."
"Yep."
"They were both special people to big brother, but they suddenly stopped visiting. Soon, they cut ties with us I think."
"Why?"
"Nobody told me why but I personally think it was because Big Brother and Kana-chan broked up."
"Really? Just because of that?"
"Well yeah. It seemed the most logical answer I could think of - Hatter."
We both stopped in our tracks.
"You sense her?"
"Yeah. She's coming this way."
The two of us put our guard up. Once we meet Amber, our plans will begin.
We waited a bit while looking at all directions. My heart was pumping fast with excitement and I could tell Hatter was getting all eager for this to begin. It was always fun when we go exterminate souls to the afterlife.
"Crimson!"
I turned to the source of the voice and saw Amber. Yep. Her transparency was becoming dimmer meaning she would vanish soon.
"Yo!" I greeted her with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" She asked when she reached us both.
"Well I was suppose to be on my prefect duties but I need to finish something up first."
"What?"
My smile became bigger. I picked up hatter from the ground and stared at Amber.
"Amber. It's time."
"What?"
"I'm here to take you to the afterworld."
"You are? Does that mean you found out who I am?" She suddenly gave us a huge smile. She seemed really excited.
"Not technically."
Her smile soon dropped.
"Then how are you going to send me to the afterlife?"
My eyes glinted, "Amber."
"Yeah?"
"You said your surname was Autry right?"
"Yeah? And?"
"I did some research and it turned out that the Autry family came to Cross Academy to buy this land a couple of years ago." Actually, Ichiru told me that info.
"Really?" She soon smiled again.
"Yep. Today I went to the Headmaster's office to speak about the Autry family. It turned out that they did have a daughter. Her name was Hannah Autry."
"Hannah?"
"She wanted this land and so her parents beg the Headmaster to hand it over. The daughter even came herself to beg for it. But in the end she died."
". . ."
.
.
.
Let's see the results shall we?
"Amber. Do you remember anything now?"
.
.
.
.
.
"Yes! I do! I do remember!" Suddenly tears were running down her cheeks. Yes. Ghosts can cry. Not the first time I've seen this. Once a soul remembers, they often become overwhelmed.
"What do you remember?"
She wiped her tears away.
"I-I'm Hannah Autry! I was born on August 8th. I was the only child so my parents adored me. When they figured out that I had a sickness, they were devastated! Because it was a rare sickness, there wasn't any medicine or operations that could cure me. Before I died, they wanted to build a home just for me so I chose this land for them. But I didn't get it! The headmaster was too hard headed to let me have it! But . . . he was a kind man. When my sickness was getting worst, I couldn't go back to my manor so I stayed in this town for the meantime. Before I knew it, I died . . ." She was now bawling while her hands cover her eyes.
Great. What am I supposed to do now? Hug her? But I still need to say something . . .
"I'm sorry, Amber." I took out something from my pocket and kneeled down to reach her height. "This here, is a picture of Hannah Autry and the Headmaster."
She jolted her head up to look at it.
In the picture was Daddy-kun sitting with a girl who looked to be my age. She had black hair with blue eyes.
"Last time I check Amber, you didn't have black hair or blue eyes."
Amber's sweet face suddenly turned into an annoyed look.
"Who are you really, Amber?" Hatter asked.
.
.
.
.
"Well it took you a while. You are are an idiot after all Crimson Scarlet De Luca."
I jumped away from her with hatter in my hands. We landed about 10 feet away from her. Yep. I knew it. She was lying about her identity.
Amber brought her right hand up and snapped her fingers. Her transparent body wasn't transparent anymore.
"You really kept me waiting you know that? What caused you to figure out?"
"Ummm. The second day where you said that my name was stupid and then you said that my ex boyfriend was name Blu. Actually my ex-boyfriend texted me and then I realized that you wouldn't have known me to be crossdressing that time since I never told you or changed in front of you ever. Then the picture of course made my suspicions correct."
"You really are an idiot, little red." Hatter stated.
"Shut up!" I shouted while getting my bag from my back. I took out two things. An envelope my dad sent me with a petal and my claws. "So then, Amber. Who are you?"
Amber smirked. "I am the Phantom of the Grim Society. Crimson Scarlet De Luca, daughter of The Emperor Arcana and The Empress Arcana, your training time is up. Show me if you are worthy enough to handle being the Fool Arcana." Suddenly, blackness surrounded us.
.
.
.
"Fuck my life."
