Chapter 9

.

~Kaname Kuran's Point of View~

.

I was in my office planning for Yuuki's debut next month when a certain silver-haired girl outside the window caught my attention. She looked troubled, just like the last three days she spent skipping class before, after what happened that night in the classroom.

.

She went towards the gate and outside town which is against the rules unless a vampire like her asked permission from me. "Another troublesome brat" I thought "I'll have to punish her later" and I called out Shiki and Ichijo to go after her. I explained the situation to them and they vowed to me before they head out.

.

It was from that night three days ago when she emitted a strange aura and Shiki was the only one not affected. It seems like he knew something but still kept quiet about it, so I tried to confront him after class and he answered. Pair of glowing cat-like slits eyes, eyes that only a certain clan has which is already extinct a thousands of years ago. "Could it be that there's someone from that clan survived?" I really don't want to believe that she could be the murderer of those vampire and vampire hunters at first, she was really kind and every one of us was becoming fond of her.

.

My thoughts were interrupted by a strong scent of blood. I instantly stormed off my office and went downstairs only to see a bleeding unconscious Senshi carried bridal-style by Ichiru Kiryu. Shiki was with him applying pressure on her bleeding neck while Ichijo and Zero carried their blood soaked jackets which they also used to apply pressure on her earlier.

.

Ichiru placed her on the couch and he took off his jacket. He offered it to Shiki and he used it to apply more pressure on her neck since the last jacket he used on her is now almost fully soaked in blood. "Akatsuki! Please use your fire to keep her warm!" Aidou commanded "Ruka! Prepare the infirmary! Ichijo and I'll be doing the surgery" Kain and Ruka followed immediately.

.

Senshi was really pale and I knew by the looks of her that she's really weak and really cold. Her breath was becoming shorter and all I could do was watch as Kain carried her, to keep her warm, to the infirmary. It was the first time I was stunned and I don't know how to react. For some reason, I felt broken-hearted at the sight of a dying her. I don't want her to die. I want her to live…

.

.

It took minutes since they went inside the infirmary. The others are with us and Yuuki was also there supporting me. We were all worried and I thought I'm going to die from a heart attack until Kain emerged from the door. He was asked by Aidou to do a blood analysis on every one of us to find a match for her blood. She's going to need at least three bags of blood for her blood transfusion or else, she won't survive.

.

Without a second thought, everyone together with the Kiryu twins agreed. Yuuki and I also asked to participate too but they all denied that both of us should give out our blood. Asking for a Pureblood's blood is a great taboo against us vampires and I was glad that Yuuki was very soft-hearted even for a stranger since she hadn't met Senshi yet. She even helps me to insist, there's no harm in trying and we both really wanted to help her.

.

After a while, the result finally came and much to our surprise, three of us matched her. Shiki, Yuuki and me; we all couldn't believe it. It would be alright if it's only Shiki but both Yuuki and I matched her. The three of us shared confused looks before we followed Kain to the infirmary. "Is she related to the Shiki Family and the Kuran Family? Just who is she?" were the questions keep running through my head.

.

.

It wasn't long before I woke up after donating my blood to Senshi. Aidou was already beside me. "I didn't expect that you, Yuuki-sama and Shiki would be the only match for her"

.

"I was surprised too, and I know both Yuuki and Shiki do too" I said "By the way, why are you outside the academy?" Aidou explained that he actually went outside to visit an ice cream shop he used visit to clear up his mind and on his way back to the academy, he suddenly smelled blood. He followed the scent and that's when he found Senshi together with the others.

.

He also told me about her eyes and what knowledge he found out about it in his research earlier while we were asleep. There, I finally accepted the fact that she's the one who killed most of our kind and of the hunter's. "I'm going to check up on her" I stood up the bed and went straight towards the door "Aidou, can you do me a favor?"

.

"What is it?" Aidou asked. "There's something bothering me and I want you to do a DNA test on her" and with that, Aidou just nodded before I completely left the room.

.

.

On my way to her room, a strong scent of blood came across my nose. My heart raced fast and I suddenly burst open the door, worried for what something bad might happen, only to see a broken Senshi on a fetal position at the very corner of the room. The bag of blood used for her blood transfusion fell on the floor, the interfusion line inserted on her hand and her neck wound bleeds.

.

She was screaming voicelessly for something and it made me felt shattered to pieces. I run towards and knelt before her "Senshi! What's wrong?!" I screamed and shook her only to be rejected and feared by her "Tell me! What is it?!" but she feared me more. All I could think of was to hug her "Senshi!" I screamed her name as I tighten my hold on her.

.

She froze at my unexpected reaction then slowly, she calmed down "It's alright, your safe now. No one's going to hurt you anymore…" I slowly released her and kissed her on the forehead. I looked at her garnet colored eyes "I promise I'll always protect you…" I assured her then I slowly pulled her to a hug and she did the same. Not long after, she finally fell asleep.

.

.

A week later, Haruka took Yuuki back to the Kuran manor. Senshi is somehow making huge progress in healing her injury but kept on flinching at everyone's presence. She always avoids everyone and became very silent. She never dared talk or to talk with anyone no matter how much we tried.

.

Time to time, she would always look out the window and nothing else. Aidou once tried to offer her blood so she could heal faster but she screamed and run to the corner of the room curling up into a fetal position. She would always hyperventilate and screaming "It wasn't my fault! It was an accident!" or "Please don't hurt me… I don't want to die." She would only calm down once I hug her making Ruka or maybe Yuuki, if she's here, jealous.

.

Whenever I talk to her, she would only reply with simple gestures. She never smiled and for some reason, I always felt like I can't leave her alone and that she needs me. Before class or after class, I would always visit her and sometimes, I would sleep on the sofa for the day along with her.

.

Two weeks passed and every time I woke up, she's always sleeping next to me. Somehow, it always makes me smile. I brushed her hair, just like always, to the side. Back then it was only a little, but as time went by, something very unfamiliar finally strikes me. My heart started beating fast as I looked at her sleeping face.

.

She looks so fragile and I didn't realize I lightly touched her lips. She snuggled closer to me, making my heart beat faster as I lost all senses around me. My head was blank and I lean closer to her. Our lips almost touch until…

.

.

.

.

.

"KANAME-!" Ichijo burst into the room making me jump in surprise "YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME IF YOU WANTED TO SLEEP HERE! I… What are you doing?"

.

"…N-nothing" I tried to hide my embarrassment "What was I doing?" I thought as it took me time to reply "She was already here when I woke up"

.

"Oh…" he smiled slyly and slowly nodded in half-agreement half-GREEN. Who would not do since he saw me on the sofa together with her and I was like going to k-k-k-kiss her? "Y-you were saying?" I asked.

.

"Oh right, I forgot..." he said "If you wanted to sleep here, you should have told me so I could get another bed for you to sleep on"

.

"Please do…" and with that, I ended the conversation just so he could leave. I felt really embarrassed right now but the bastard smiled slyly again and he locked the door knob from the inside "Please enjoy" was his last words before he shut the door. My face heated and I threw a pillow at the door "IDIOT!"

.

Just then, Senshi startled me as she woke up. She slowly sat up rubbing her eyes and her hair was a bit of a mess which is really cute. When she saw me, she smiled and really it made my heart beat fast…
