Vampire Knight Destiny

(Continued from Guilty 13...)

The next morning went as every normal morning does at Cross Academy; Zero got up, dressed and headed for homeroom. He took his seat on the middle row, class hadn't started yet and conversations went of in every row. "Hey, Shima" Ayumei said, Shima turned to look at her "where were you last night, you weren't watching the night class were you?" Ayumei said jokingly. "Of course not" Shima said defensively. "I was only joking, I wouldn't care if u did though" Ayumei said. She listened in on the other conversations, she found majority of the girls conversations pertained to the night class. "Shima…" Ayumei began. Shima turned to face her again "Yes…" Ayumei paused before responding in a whisper "doesn't Zero seem kind of sad to you…he definitely looks very mean and angry when he's standing at the gate…you two seem to know each other…is he always like this?" Shima wasn't expecting a question about zero and wasn't really sure how to answer "I've met him before but I don't know much about him…I suppose he looks sad…maybe you should ask him" Ayumei never thought about actually talking to Zero even once "how would I even start? And did I mention how scary he looks all the time?" Ayumei responded in a hushed voice "well I suppose u could as Sayori, she was close friends with the headmaster's daughter who was the only one who really talked to zero…and why are you whispering?" Shima said. "I'm whispering because I don't want him to hear obviously…" Ayumei said quietly "but he's two rows behind us" Shima said in her normal volume, Ayumei sighed in response. Yagari walked in and the class quieted down as he took attendance. After attendance was called class officially began, and it seems just as quickly as it started it ended. By the end of Second period Shima helped Ayumei summon up enough courage to attempt to talk to Zero "Hi" Ayumei said, hoping that was enough to spark a conversation, but got nothing in return "your name is Zero right?" again there was no response "I just thought you looked a bit sad and..." Ayumei's words trailed off into nothing, a long pause, she sighed and tried to finish her sentence, "I'm fine" he said, Ayumei looked into zero's eyes, she could see sadness in his eyes and seemed to get lost in lavender for a moment and he suspected that he didn't want talk about it "I-I'm sorry" she said feeling a bit nervous "I'll leave you alone now" she walked to Shima who was waiting for her at the end of the hall "so, what happened..."Shima asked "he said he was fine...but I think he is sad and just doesn't want to talk about it" Ayumei's normally rather pale cheeks were a bit pink as she tried to explain to Shima what happened... /am I blushing? What is there to blush about...why was I nervous all of a sudden? / Ayumei asked herself questions in her head as Shima tried to talk to her "Ayumei?" Hearing her name brought Shima back to her attention "oh I'm sorry, I just got a little lost in thought" Ayumei said as they entered their Third period class. "Wait a minute, your cheeks are pink" Shima said teasingly "Shima!" Ayumei whined. Shima chuckled "I wasn't blushing...it was probably from the heat or something" Ayumei said trying to sound convincing. "Liar" Shima puts one hand to her forehead and the other to Ayumei's "you don't feel hot at all" Shima said. "Well not anymore of course because its not hot inside" Ayumei took her seat next to Shima "so when did you go outside..." Ayumei didn't answer Shima's question and thankfully was saved from further questioning by the teachers arrival, and the beginning of class.
