Author's Note: Special thanks to VampireSiren for reviewing!
The Night Class sat in the classroom waiting for the teacher to arrive. Kaname was reading a book as usual. Naomi was reading a manga that she had borrowed from Takuma. Cassandra was writing in her notebook that she wrote all her poems in.
'Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Stop it
Always erasing
Always
Always crossing out
Always deleting
I'm never satisfied
I'm never satisfied
Never pleased
Never happy
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Drop the pen
Deep breaths
Calm down
Calm down
Don't let
Don't let this
Control you
Control you any longer
I'm never satisfied
I'm never satisfied
Never satisfied
Stop'
Cassandra put her pen down and sighed. Naomi closed her book, then smiled mischievously.
'Tall, dark wavy hair, vampire. I know this person so why can't I think of who it is?' Cassandra thought, 'I'm so stupid! I should know who it is!'
Naomi tossed her book across the room only to have it hit Aido in the back of the head.
'Who do I know that fits that description?' Cassandra thought.
Aido threw the book back at Naomi's direction. He froze when it hit Cassandra in the head.
"Ow!" She said. She stood up a, glaring at Aido. "You are so dead Hanabusa!" She yelled.
Aido hid behind Akatsuki. His cousin sighed.
"You brought this on yourself Hanabusa." He said.
"Oh come on Akatsuki, can't you help me?" Aido asked.
Akatsuki shook his head.
"I'd rather not get in the middle of this." He said.
"Aido, you better apologize or else." Cassandra said.
"Or else what?" Aido asked.
Her eyes flashed red for a second. She smirked as she used her powers to manipulate what he was thinking. What Aido said next left the room in silence.
"Cassandra is the best! She is so much smarter then me and I am clearly inferior. I'm terribly sorry Lady Cassandra. I apologize for being the idiot that I am." Aido said.
The silence was broken by Naomi who busted out laughing. A few laughs erupted from the other students as Aido stood there clueless. Even Kaname lightly chuckled.
"What just happened?" Aido asked in confusion.
Cassandra smiled in satisfaction as she sat back down.
"You apologized to Cassandra…and then some." Akatsuki said.
"And then some?" Aido asked.
"I'll tell you later." Akatsuki replied.
"Oh my god that was great." Naomi said as she tried to catch her breath.
Kaname sat down next to Cassandra.
"Are you alright?" He asked, examining a small scrape on Cassandra's head where the corner of the book had hit her.
"Well aside from the possible minor concussion, I'm perfectly fine." Cassandra said smiling.
"I'm glad." Kaname said.
He kissed the scrape on Cassandra's head. A small pink orb appeared as the scrape healed.
"Aww." Naomi said.
Cassandra blushed, her face turning a bright crimson. Kaname smiled at Cassandra's reaction.
'She's so cute when she blushes.' He thought.
Cassandra giggled.
"Thanks." She said.
Kaname looked at her in confusion for a brief moment before realization hit.
"Did you just…" He stopped mid-sentence as Cassandra nodded.
"Yes but on accident." She said.
"How can you read someone's mind on accident?" Naomi asked.
Cassandra shrugged.
"I'm not sure." She said, "I just can."
Akatsuki went out into the hall with Aido to tell him what had happened earlier. There was silence until the class heard Aido yell, "She what?" causing laughter to fill the room.
After classes ended, the Night Class went back to their dorm. Cassandra changed out of her uniform and put on a pair of black pants and a dark blue v-necked tee shirt. She walked to Kaname's room and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Kaname said.
She walked into the room, shutting the door behind her. Kaname was lying on his couch.
"Do you need something Cassie?" He asked.
"No, but can't I spend time with my dear cousin?" She replied.
"What if I say no?" Kaname said.
"Well since I'm also a pureblood, I have just as much authority as you do so I say that I can." She said, smirking playfully.
Kaname chuckled.
"Alright." He said as he sat up.
Cassandra spotted the chessboard on the desk and walked over to it. She picked up the black queen and looked at it as memories flooded back into her mind. She and Kaname loved playing chess together when they were younger. She glanced over at Kaname who was now walking over to her.
"One game for old time's sake?" She asked.
"Of course." Kaname replied.
Kaname sat down in his desk chair and Cassandra sat down across from him. She played the black pieces and he played the white pieces. They talked a little as they played. It was mostly reminiscing about the past. Kaname tried to stay away from touchy subjects like his and Cassandra's parent's deaths and the incident with Kumiko.
The match seemed to go on forever. Kaname had helped teach Cassandra how to play chess, so she knew most of his tricks. She wanted to win fair and square this time so she promised Kaname that she wouldn't read his mind.
"You've gotten better." Kaname noted.
"Yes I have. What do you think I did while you and Takuma were gone?" Cassandra said smiling as she moved one of her bishops. "Check mate."
Kaname looked over the board.
"So it is." He said, "I bow down to the queen."
He bowed his head to Cassandra who laughed.
"It's getting late." Cassandra yawned, "I think I'll retire to my room for the day."
She stood up and kissed Kaname.
"Goodnight." He said.
"Good night." She replied as she walked out of the room.
She walked to her room and changed into her pajamas and went to bed.
When Cassandra woke up in the middle of the day, she knew who the figure was that plagued her dreams. She got out of bed and ran out of her room, dressed only in her pajamas that consisted of black shorts and a black tank top. She ran down the hall until she reached Kaname's room. She frantically knocked on the door. Kaname opened the door and looked at her through half-closed eyes.
"Cassandra," He said, "Why are you awake? It's only noon."
"I had that dream again and this time I saw the man's eyes." She said.
"What about his eyes?" Kaname asked.
"They were heterochromatic blue and red." She replied, "Kaname, it was uncle Rido."
Cliffhanger...
