"So far pretty peaceful," I muttered. I hadn't run into Ranmaru yet. It was quite possible that Kaien was still debriefing him, or the headmaster, president, or whatever caught him and asked him what was going on.
"Can you see anyone from the Night Class? Or the Disciplinary Committee member?" I heard a girl whisper.
"Can't see either," another girl whispered.
I sighed. I jumped over the balcony, and in front of the two girls. "What are your names, school, and class?" I ordered the girls.
The girls eyes gleamed with joy.
My senses tingled. My weapon came into view and I swung around, but my weapon was caught by none other than Hanabusa Aidou. Behind him was his cousin, Akatsuki Kain.
"It's the Night Class," one of the girls said in awe.
"Aidou-senpai. Kain-senpai," the other girl said, also in awe of being within a few feet of two Night Class members.
"Let go," I ordered Aidou.
Aidou started walking towards me. "What's wrong, Katsumi? Scared?" Aidou bared his fangs at me. "We smelled fresh blood, and decided to see who was bleeding. Afraid to get bitten Katsumi?"
"A vampire?" The girls panicked and fainted.
When did I cut myself? I thought. "Back off Aidou. It's against school rules to drink blood on campus. Whether it's here or at Cross Academy."
A hand came down on my shoulder pulling me back, while another pushed Aidou away from me.
I looked up to see Ranmaru. "Ranmaru," I whispered.
"Aidou," a voice said coming into view. "You're not troubling her, are you?"
Everyone turned to see Kaname Kuran coming towards us.
"K-Kaname," I stuttered.
"Keep an eye on him," Ranmaru butted in. "He's nothing but trouble."
"Ranmaru," I warned as I turned to face him. "You can't say that to a Pureblood." I turned back to face Kaname. "I'm sorry about that Kaname. He's, uh, new at being a Disciplinary Committee member."
Kaname smiled at me. "Make sure he understands what it means Katsumi," Kaname responded. "Put a band-aid on that wound, Katsumi."
I nodded. "I will Kaname-sama."
Ranmaru and I watched as the three Night Class members left. The two girls that fainted were taken to the infirmary to get checked out.
"Thanks for coming in time, Ranmaru," I said after a moment of silence. "I don't know what he would have done if you or Kaname didn't come to help."
"Don't expect me to friendly with you," Ranmaru retorted. "I'm just doing what was asked. After all this is over don't expect me to weep when you leave. It won't happen."
"Right. A tough guy like you crying. That'd be the day," I agreed. "But you don't have to say so coldly. It's nice here and all, but it's not home."
"Vampires aren't people you should be friendly with Katsumi."
"Unh," I muttered. I can't tell him that a vampire kidnapped me can I? I started remembering things from my past when they came towards me after the Night Class made their way towards the classrooms. Who am I really?
