Chapter 9
After running away from October, I had to watch my back the rest of the night. Waiting for her to jump out of no where and kill me… just the thought made me shudder. But around 11pm I went to bed waiting for morning to come.
I woke up to No. 5 by Hollywood Undead; and when I reach for it to shut it off, I fell out of the bed. Did you know the floor is hard? It hurt so much that I started laughing at my stupidity. I probably looked like a caterpillar in a cocoon… on crack. At that thought, my laughter grew louder, until somebody walked into the room. It was that dark haired dude, Hideki, haha his name kinda sounds hi ducky!
"Well look at you, trapped among your sheets with nothing to do except to give me your blood," he quietly shuts and locks my door. Oh shit. I'm sorry but they way he put it at that I can't help but turn a little perverted in my mind. I began to struggle, trying to free myself before he gets any closer. But he picked me up and laid me down on my bed, looming over me with his fangs enlarged, "Why don't you call for help, my little princess?" I swear he's perverted! CREEPER! "Because I'm not a motherfucking helpless little girl. I'm a bitch, who can stand up for herself!" I spit in his eyes and hopped over to the door, I soon had a feeling of somebody grabbing my arm in a painful manner. I was thrown back on the bed, my head hitting the headboard. A sharp pain went through the center of my head. I stayed silent the whole time, wishing I had my knife with me and if I made a sound he would take pleasure in it. His eyes were glowing crimson red, his breath flowing over my neck like silk. He leans over my left ear and whispers, "I'm going to make you fear vampires." I broke into a wide grin, "bring it on, bitch." I'm the type of person that will look evil in the eyes and crack a joke… may I rest in peace. He growls at my reaction and was about to bite down hard when somebody yanked open the door. It was Shiki.
"Drinking blood is prohibited, I suggest you leave," he spoke in his usual voice, but you can hint some anger in it. Why would he care? This asshole glares over at Shiki, baring his fangs like a wild animal protecting his food. I am not food! I'm a person with feelings and I'm going to kick his ass! While he was distracted, I pulled my arms out and pushed him off me. I jumped out of the covers and grabbed my Jones soda bottle (tht still had some green apple left). Let's just say he has an owie now, but it wasn't enough to break the bottle… thank Gir for that; I don't feel like picking up glass.
"Why didn't you just yell for help?" Shiki asks as Chaotic floats the asshole away, to Kaname's room. "And give him what he wanted? Yeah, right." I scoffed, and was looking through my drawer for a thank you gift. He sighs and walks out of the room. "Wait! Come back here!" I shouted towards the door. He backs up and I was so tempted to make that beeping sound. You know what's funny? I almost got bitten by a vampire and I'm cracking jokes in my mind… there has to be something wrong with me. I walk over to him with a cookie. The cookie had frosting on it; decorated to look like fall leaves on a pond. It was awesome. "This is for you, ya know as an um… a t-thank you." I stuttered out, while I mentally facepalmed myself. He nods and walks back out the door, while munching on the cookie. At that moment I realized I have an hour and a half left. Shittt.
Right when I was going to leave the Moon Dormitory, I heard Chaotic's laughter behind me, "Are you going to wear that?" I had on black skinnies, an Adventure Time tee but it was covered up by my black & white jacket, and I had black & dark purple tutu on. I found nothing wrong with the outfit I'm wearing. "What do you mean?" I asked tilting my head to the side. "What's up with the tutu?" Aidou bursts out laughing at the top of the stairs. He was in his pjs; in fact everybody was in their pjs! "If you don't shut the fuck up, you'll be wearing this tutu!" I snapped and poked Chaotic in the ribs, hard. "What was that for?!" "For laughing at me! I find nothing wrong with what I'm wearing!" "That's because you're a dor-" "She looks like a freak!" Aidou was now leaning on the railing, laughing his ass off. "That's it!" I pointed my finger at him, "he's going to turn into a girl!" I charged after him, ready to rip off his balls. But Chaotic grabbed my shoulders, "I was kidding, you look beaut- I mean prettyful-" ^^ "Aww Chaotic-y you look prettyful too!" I spoke in my childish voice, "I love your pjs! Gir is amazing!" He had on black pjs that has random pics of Gir, Zim, or a piggy on the shirt/pants. He laughs at my tone of voice and pushes me towards the door, "you must go now Cassie-chan! But be careful, for you know what lies behind the human world!" My eye twitches at him and then smiled brightly, "okay you've been watching way too many movies!" I skipped out the door and down the pathway. Until I got to the Gatekeeper person, "uhh hey, may I get through?" I asked in an awkward manner. "Go on, Night Class Perfect." I didn't know if that was question or what, so I nodded and ran all the way to the main gate.
"Cassie-sempi, you're already here!" Yuuki cheered and her friend took a step out from behind her. She had pretty eyes and her hair look so pokeable! (I'm weird). I have seen her before at lunch time when one of Oliver's buddies sent a carrot over her head. It didn't hit her, cuz if it did I would of punch him. "I'm Wakaba Sayori, but you can call me Yori," she held out her hand with a smile. I grinned back and shook her hand, "Cassie Leach, at your service! And your name reminds me of my friend's name, Tori! It rhymes yay!" We all laughed at that but it turn into a whine when we saw Zero walking up to us. "The Headmaster made Zero come with us!" Yuuki whines and put her hands on her hips as Zero was taking his time. "This is going to be fun," Yori mumbles beside me. I turn to her with an evil grin, "actually it will be fun," I could feel Zero's glare at the back of my head, "for my toy has finally arrived!" Zero's glare intensives, "I am not your toy!" "Sure you are! When I push one of your buttons, your reaction amuses me!" At this, he just walks out the gate mumbling and we follow behind him quietly. I soon grew tired of the steps so I climbed up onto the rail. "Hehe I'm a banana!" I giggled out randomly, breaking the silence. "Zero! What time is it?!" I whispered loudly. "11:10-" "wrong! It's Adventure Time! Let's go!" I ran down the rest of the way, only to sit like a statue, while waiting for them.
The little stores here are awesome! They remind me of the dime stores in Wahoo! But when Yuuki and Yori wanted to go into a dress shop, I refused right at the door. "There's no way in hell," I leaned up against the window, not looking at the dresses but at my shoes. "If you do, we'll buy you ice cream!" Yuuki smiles with her hand on the door. "Only ice cream?" I gave her a sly smile. "There's Ramen-" "I LOVE RAMEN! LET'S GO IN!" I open the door and hold it open for everybody. But when Zero walked through, I suggested we find him a dress... that got me a glare, hah.
After a few minutes, I was bored out of my mind and laying down on the ground in the back of the store. So when the sales lady went back and saw me, it scared the living shit out of her cause she thought I was dead! It was funny until she started yelling at me. But yet I could care less. So I decided to bug Zero who was standing by the front door. I sat down by his legs and poked his shoe, "Oy Zero-kun," I looked up, "aren't you going to look for dress?" He growls and made an attempt to leave, but that was before I clutch onto his pants leg. "I was just kidding, Zero! Geez! And if I really wanted you to wear a dress, I would have stole your wallet ... oh what's this?" I pull out his wallet and jumped away from his reach. "Give it back-" "Give it back, give it back! That's what people always say, but do they ever get their stuff back? No. This whole time I have been in Japan, I have never heard you say my name. Do you hate me? I never have done anything to you, except those stupid jokes. Is it because I know about vampires?" I whispered the last part in his ear, "or because your best friend from the past has become something you loathe? But she's still the same person; all she has is a new diet. She's hurting Zero, when she's sad she g-" "She gets grumpy as hell, especially when you piss her off." Zero finishes my little speech. My face broke into a wide smile as I handed his wallet back.
"Just seeing her brought back so many memories from the past-" "She used to talk about you and your uhh… family. But she never mentioned your names, just the way you look. And you look adorable!" I gave him a slight pat on the head, "plus you have nice abs!" He spun around on his heals with his back facing me; I smirk at this. I leaped to his front side and he had a tiny faint blush. "Aw did I make Zero-kun blush?" I cooed at him like a little baby. He looked like he was going to snap back but the sales lady interrupted him, "Are you two dating?" I almost choked on my spit and we shouted back at her, "Dating him/her?! HELL NO!" I quickly ran back to find the girlies and ask if they were done. They nodded their heads and we left without another word.
On the way to the diner place thing shop- hell I don't know what you call it! ANYWAYS! I felt someone watching us, I don't know where but the feeling is freaking me out! Soon enough I had goose bumps on my arms. I slowed my pace and kept looking all around us. "You feel it too?" Zero glances down at me. I nod and lift up my sleeves to show him my reaction. The girlies didn't even seem to notice what's going on. "I had this exact same feeling once when I was walking downtown in Seattle-" a sudden shudder ripped through my body, stopping me in mid-sentence. I have never felt so vulnerable in my life, so in return, I clung onto Zero's arm, just to feel safe. I could feel him glaring at me but I just push that away and began searching for a weapon. I found a liquor bottle across the street. I let go of Zero and ran across the street but a car was coming. I thought I would make it in time but I was wrong as the car stopped a foot away from me. The horn went off and all I could hear was ringing but I could still read the driver's lips, he was cursing me out! So I gave him the finger and continue to my destination.
"I can't believe you didn't look both ways and all for that bottle!" Yuuki nagged at me. I sighed and tried to explain myself, "It's not my fault I'm used to playing chicken! And I thought the bottle was cool looking!" Beside me, Zero snorts, "Cool looking? What exactly were you going to do with that bottle?" I gave him a look that said 'are you really that stupid?' and walked over to the side of a random building, only to smash the end of the bottle. "Instant weapon. Now sold at a store near you!" I gave an open mouth smile and two thumbs up. Then I slowly began to pick up the glass carefully, (what? You really think I was going to leave it?) and dumped it in the nearest trash can. I skipped back over to the group and thumped Zero on the forehead. "Coulda had a V8!"
"This Ramen is so much better then the store bought ones at Wal-Mart!" my mouth started to water at the first bite. Yuuki and Yori giggled at my reaction, "maybe it's because it's homemade here, Cassie-chan!" "It's so good… but yet so hot!" I yelped in pain, holding my bottom lip. They burst out laughing loudly at me. "Sure laugh at me, when I'm in pain!" I got all dramatic and laughed with them. We stopped suddenly when the evil waitress came over, ""Do you guys want anything else?" We shook our heads as she sat the bill down. "… Are you guys from Cross Academy?" we nod our heads. "Then you guys must be the Day Class students because you don't look-" "what do you mean by look?" I glowered up at her from under my bangs. "Uhhh... well the Night Class is very beautiful-" "so you're calling us ugly?" I rested my chin on my hand with my mouth slightly ajar. My tongue moving side to side; this means I'm in a very dangerous mood and you should watch were you step or I'm gonna go off like a ticking time bomb! "N-n-n-no! That's not what-" "Then what do you mean?" I purred at her with a wicked smile. By now her face was red; she didn't know what to say, so she scurried away.
"That was mean," Yuuki spoke softly to me. "So?! I don't like people judging other people by the way they look! Plus, this," I gestured to the waitress and us, "isn't mean. Teehee; didn't I tell you Yuuki, that I'll be trouble for ya? Plus I love messing with people," I gave her one of these smiles ^^ and began pouring sugar in my coffee. "What's up guys?" a voice asked from the front of the table. I look up to see Oliver grinning at us, "Holy shit! You're a stalker!" this caused me to slap my hand over my mouth, for that statement was to stay inside my mind. Then I realized I was still pouring sugar into my coffee… I'm gonna get hyper tonight! "I am not a stalker! Kiryuu-kun, I feel bad that you have to sit next to her, that monster!" This caused my left eye to twitch as they laughed at me. Then I put on an evil cheerful smile, "Oh Oliver dearest, when I get up I'm going to kill you!" and began chugging down my sugary coffee. "As if you could catch me!" he smirks, while one of his buddies leans on his shoulder, also smirking. "That may be so, but I do know where you sleep," I played with a butter knife and looked up to give him a sly smile. He sticks out his tongue and they walk out the door. Losers hah.
"You two don't get along with each other, eh?" Yuuki asks, this almost made me choke on my coffee. "What?! He's one of my new best friends! And he knows my bestie/husband's twin brother, Adam from England!" I laugh at their face expressions and began to explain 'husbands and wife' thing.
"Thanks guys, it was fun!" I waved to the trio as I stood by the Moon Dormitory's gate. "Yeah, we should do it again sometime! Oh and come back to the Headmaster's office later on, okay? He wants to give you something!" Yuuki shouted back. I walked all the way back, jumped on a random empty couch, and fell asleep. Peacefully.
****Chaotic's P.O.V. ****
'I wonder where she is.' I asked myself as I made my way to the main lobby, 'oh! There she is! But she's sleeping… hmm…' I sat on the couch, opposite of Cassie and waited for the rest. Aidou, Ichijou, and Shiki were the 1st group to come down. "What do we got here? Is she sleeping?" Aidou ask, hovering over Cassie. "No, she's dead," Shiki mumbled under his breath. Before Aidou could snap back, I suggested that they should push her off. Of course Aidou was all for it, but Ichijou denied. "Then you should sit on her, like before-" Aidou began but I interfered before he could finish, "what do you mean by sit on?" "Who sat on whom?" Ruka asked with October, and Kain coming down the stairs. "Ichijou sat on Cassie's legs and-" "I wish I saw that!" October whispered/laughed and jumped on me, causing me to gasp for air, like a fish out of water. (A/N: I love that game!). Ruka glares at Cassie then said we should push her off but Ichijou, yet again, refused to let anyone push her. So October got up and asked Aidou for an ice cube… I see where she's going with this. She grabs the ice cube and puts it down Cassie's back. Cassie jumped up so fast that I thought she turn into a jack rabbit!
**** End of Chaotic's P.O.V. ****
I woke up to this ice cold feeling on my back, which caused me to jump up and curse, "HOLY HORSE SHIT, YOU FUCKER!" at October and flung the ice cube at her face. Then I ran over to Chaotic and jumped on him. "Am I one of those bouncing house?!" he growls but I ignored him. "GUESS WHAT! I HAD COFFEE WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF SUGAR! YEEHAW!" I screamed in my high pitch squeaky chipmunk voice and thumped him on the head. I ran behind the couch to poke his head. October laughed so hard that she fell to her knees, "I haven't seen her hyper for months!" I ignored her comment and ran to the door remembering I have to go to the Chairman dude's office. But since it was dark out I will have to settle for his headquarters or whatever you call it. "Ihavetogo,bebacklater,bye!"
When I got there, I ran into the front door. Like literally ran into the door. It hurt. It also caused me to fall back and hit my head! That hurt even worst! The Chairman dude comes to the door with a surprised face, "I thought you forgot to come, Cassie." I slowly stood back up and walked in. Kaname was resting in a chair; have you noticed that when there's something going on Kaname is always present? It's kinda creepy. But he is the Head Honcho around here... I can't believe that I just said Honcho... What is the world coming to?! As I was freaking out in my mind, my hands were showing what I was going through.
"Is something wrong?" The Chairman dude asked. I look up through my bangs as I shook with laughter. I don't know why I was laughing but it took over me! I fell to my knees, holding my sides, from not being able to breathe. Then I suddenly stop and look up with a smirk, "nothing's wrong, it's just that I'm a bit hyper!" ^^ They looked unfazed at this and the Chairman dude continues to walk to a desk; to pull out a switchblade. But it was different then mine. The handle was black, slightly thicker and had a design on it. The blade was made out of pure silver and it look like it had an engrave tear drop on it. I tilt my head in confusion, "Why is there a tear drop?" I ran my fingertip over the small symbol; my curiosity taking over. "It's a blood droplet." "Ahhh me see, me see." He sighs at this, "In order for your weapon to feel like it belongs, you have to give a drop of your blood..." he watches me, waiting for me to freak out but I didn't. I merely shrug my shoulders and lightly prick my forefinger. I watch a bead of scarlet roll down, with my finger hovering over the blade. Kaname stood beside me as the Chairman dude guided my finger to the symbol. The droplet grows a bright red color and fades away when the remaining blood is wiped off.
"That was the sickest thing I have ever seen in my fucked up life!" I giggled before licking my finger clean. Tasted nasty, I really don't know how vampires like this stuff! "Sickest?" Kaname asks in monotone. I look up with a cheerful smile, "You know cool, awesome, wicked? Haven't you ever hung out with teenagers? Instead of being formal all the time?" He sighs and looks at the Chairman dude. Then I came up with an awesome idea, "I know why don't you come downstairs to the lobby and hang out with us! I can get Chaotic to bring down some movies! And I have popcorn in my bag! We can go on a quest to funness! A person should never take so much work without taking a break, Kaname! And plus I have cookies!" ^^ He probably thinks I'm on crack but I don't care. He gives me a tiny smile and gives me a "we'll see". I nod and put my weapon in my back pocket. Surprisingly it wasn't that heavy. Then I remembered what happen this morning, "by the way, what happen to that ducky dude?" The Chairman dude takes a seat in front of us and sighs, "He is suspended for a week." "Is he mad?" I asked in a worried tone. "He won't hurt yo-" "no! That's not what I'm worried about! I just don't like anybody to mad at me. I didn't mean to get him in trouble..." I mumbled quietly. I could feel Kaname's gaze at me until he finally asks, "You gave him permission?" I never snapped my head to the side so fast in my life, "what?! Hell no! Dude, he just came into my room and yeah..." I wasn't able to finish the rest of my sentence because Yuuki and Zero came in. And the awkwardness began!
"Kaname-sama," Yuuki bows, "What are you and Cassie doing here?" First of all, why did she bow? It looked kinda dorky but in a cute way. I look over at Zero and he was glaring at Kaname. You could feel tension in the air, but Kaname ignored it as he spoke with Yuuki. I look over to the Headmaster to stop this feeling. "Oh! Cassie-chan, Yuuki will show you the rest of the Guardian duties tomorrow!" he goes into his weird self and skips around the room. Zero took a step forward, "She has her weapon?" You see! He NEVER SAYS MY NAME! Grrrr! "Yes SHE does, because SHE likes playing with knives. For SHE is a dork." I snap at him, while rolling my eyes. And what does he do? He looks at me for 2 seconds then looks away as if I was nothing. So I decided to annoy him. "Teehee, you're jealous of my awesome dorkiness, huh? Well that's ok you have that jackassness in you so you win! Oh gosh darn it!" I shook my fists at him with a fake angry face only to burst out laughing. I couldn't help it okay! His glare was so intense that it made me laugh like a hyena! When I got done I had to wipe away my tears! I turn to Kaname and told him I was going back to my room to decorate my door. And he joins me on the journey back. There was silence between us, so I listened to Colors of the Wind from the Pocahontas movie on my iPod. When we reach the door, I was tackled by October! "Gahhh, get off me! You know I don't like hugs!" I mumbled into her shoulder. She pulled away and pouted, "Aww you're not hyper anymore!" I roll my eyes as my sarcastic side got to me, "well I'm sooo sorry if I can't be at your amusement for the time being!" I stuck out my tongue, "and besides I have to decorate my door, come help me!" I pulled her to the stairs, well more like dragged... "I don't feel like it-" "oh my god! You're just like Heather! I have such stubborn ass friends..." I mumbled under my breath as I walk back upstairs.
Almost two hours went by, when I was finished with everything. My door had two band posters, a bunch of rainbow colors, and glow-in-the-dark stars. It looked amazing! Also my room smelled like Jasmine and White Gardenia. You jealous, eh? Anyways, right after I got done I changed into my pjs and went to bed, but first locking my door.
