Blood Ties 10 A huge thank you to everyone for their support, i'm truley sorry that this took longer to come out, so I hope that it doesn't disappoint!
As the Night students sat in class, quietly talking amongst each other, waiting for their teacher to arrive, Yuki looked absent- mindly out of the window as she often did, taking in the beauty of the school grounds. Watching as the wind blew at the leaves on the trees, causing a few to fall to the ground, everything seemed to glow in the moonlight and the teenager found the seen breathtaking. As she watched, her eyes were drawn to a mess of silver hair, as the School's prefect prefect walked through her line of sight and she remembered Kaname's request. 'Will you stay away from Kiryuu- Kun?' Yuki mentally sighed, she didn't know why Kaname wanted her to stay away from the boy. Sure, he was a trained hunter, but she could take care of herself. She was a Kuran. She would avoid the silver haired boy as much as she could though, because Kaname asked her too, but she couldn't help but wonder if the boy was okay, she saw the look in his eyes, and she knew what was coming, and she pitied him.
"Are you okay, My love?" Kaname asked, a slight crease in his brow as he looked at his sister.
"I'm fine, Onii- Sama. I was just thinking." She replied as she scooted closer to Kaname on the bench and rested her head against his broad shoulder.
Kaname was about to ask her what she was thinking about, when the door opened and the Noble's stiffened in their seats.
It appeared their usual teacher was absent, as a tall man with black hair walked up to the desk that was normally taken by now. The man had a brown hard-back book covering his face, but as he lowered it, showed his long matured features. One side of his face was dominated by a leather eye patch, whilst his other eye was a light blue in color and seemed to peirce through each student. His hair that just brushed past his shoulders was slightly curly and pointed in each direction, and the students could smell cigarette smoke radiate from him. Each student recognised this man as the Vampire Hunters Association's top Hunter; Toga Yagari, and each of the Nobles body seemed to incline themselves towards where the Kuran siblings sat, as if ready to jump in front of them is the Hunter made a move.
Yagari set his book down with a slight smirk, amused by the Noble's reaction, he layed his large hands down next to his book and used them to support his weight as he leant forward to address the Night Class.
"I am Toga Yagari, and from now on, I will be your Ethics teacher, so relax, i'm here as a qualified educator."
"Still gathering information on the Night Class?" Hanabusa asked, still rigid in his seat.
"Or is one of us your target, 'teacher'? " Kaname looked up from his book, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"I have a clean sheet for now, Kuran Kaname." Yagari's smirk grew as he continued. "But if any of you don't pay attention during my lecture, i'd be happy to edit that."
"I'll be sure to take notes...Sir." The pureblood male responded.
"Heh." Toga stood up straight, and picked his book back up. "But, for now, turn to page 58 in your text books."
"Is it really safe to have an active Vampire Hunter on school grounds? Did you even consider that the Night Class would be uncomfortable?" Yuki asked the Man she she considered a Uncle as the two sat in the Chairman's office, on opposite sides of a wooden desk that was covered in various pieces of paperwork.
"Yuki- Chan, why aren't you drinking your tea? It was a special gift from your Mother! She'd be upset if you didn't drink it." The elder man ignored the point of the conversation.
"Stop changing the subject, Chairman." The Pureblood sighed, but lifted the mug up and took a sip, tasting the strange flavour that screamed her Mother's unique style.
Kaien sat back in his seat and folded his hands in his lap, his face held an unusually serious expression as he answered.
"Yagari- San won't pose a threat to the students without a good reason, Yuki- Chan. He's Zero- Kun's teacher.." The blonde sighed before continuing. "He's here to protect the Day Class if Kiryuu- Kun loses control..surely you can sense what he's becoming?"
The young girl nodded, a hint of a frown pulling at the corner of her lips. The two sat in silence for a few moments before a 'clink' could be heard as Yuki set her mug back down on the table, and the faint sound of rustling fabric as she stood up and smoothed her uniform.
"I should get back, Onii- Sama's probably wondering where I am." She said and the Chairman nodded as his usual grin came back on his face.
"When are you and Kaname- Kun going to finally get married?" He questioned. "I'm not going to live forever, you know? And I want to be there!"
Yuki rolled her eyes at her Uncle and blushed a little as she opened the door to get out.
As she walked through the still dark grounds, Yuki thought about what the Chairman asked. 'When are you and Kaname- Kun going to finally get married?' She felt her cheeks heat up as her blood rushed up to color her skin again as she thought about the Wedding, she imagined a lot as a child, and even now she still catches herself thinking about it sometimes, when she spotted couples walking together hand-in-hand. She knew they were going to live forever, and that there was no reason for them to rush, but part of her wanted to rush, to claim Kaname as her Husband and stay by his side, where she belonged.
The brunette was so caught up in her thoughts that she turned the corner without looking and she collided with something hard. She looked up to see Lilac eyes glaring down at her and she took a small step back.
"I'm so sorry, Kiryuu- Kun!" She apologized. "I wasn't looking where I was going. Are you okay?"
"What are you doing out here, Vampire? Your classes finished over an hour ago." He asked, his voice harsh.
"I was speaking with the Chairman. You can verify that with him if you need too."
"I will. Get back to your Dorm." He ordered, not caring who he was speaking to.
"Goodnight, Zero- Kun." Yuki said before walking the way towards the Moon Dorms.
"Oh, and Zero- Kun?" She stopped and looked over her shoulder at the boy, waiting until he reluctantly met her eyes. "Take care." And with that she carried on walking, leaving the Hunter behind, who stared at her retreating figure with a confussed expression before he sighed and walked straight past the Chairman's office and towards the Sun Dorms.
"Vampires..." He muttered under his breath.
She opened the door to the main room of her suite, and saw her brother seated in one of the leather chairs at the desk, who looked up as she walked in and dropped the piece of paper he was holding so he could open his arms, silently motioning for her to join him. She walked over, taking one of his hands so she could sit herself in his lap and snuggle her head into the crook of his neck, relaxing as she breathed him in. His free arm encircled her slim waist and her drawed her body closer to his own.
They sat in silence for a while, both listening to each others heart beats, embracing the security of the sound, but eventually Yuki moved her head to look at her brother, frowning when she saw the dark circles that were begining to form under his eyes. Reaching her hand up, she used one thin finger to stroke at the skin under those eyes, as if hoping she could smudge away the dark colors that domminated his under eyes.
"You need sleep." She whispered, stating the obvious.
"The Council reports need to be done." He nodded towards a pile of paper on the desk.
"They can wait." She insisted as she stood up from his embrace and held her hand out. "Come on. I'll lie with you for a while."
He stood there at the sink, his silver hair covered his eyes as he leaned over, violently coughing, the water in the basin turned a light red in color as a small tablet fell from his open lips. His hands grasped at the marble as he started shaking, his breathing coming in as shallow gasps as he stepped away to collapse on his bed, one hand gripping at the soft material of his bedding as the other rubbed at his throat, trying to down the burning sensation there. A black raven squawked through the open window, before flapping it's wings and flying away, the birds red eyes gleamed in the darkness.
Pale gray eyes opened, a excited expression on the still child- like face that was crowned by long silver hair that was partly twisted into a elegant bun on one side of her face, whilst the rest fell to the middle of her back. Her features were perfect, and her red painted lips was turned into a mischievous grin as her giggles echoed around the formerly silent room.
"I found you!" She exclaimed and lifted her hand as a jet black raven flew through the window and landed on her palm. "So cute, too! You've grown up well."
Gray eyes stared into red ones as she spoke to a tall man who stood protectively behind her seat, his face was covered in a mask and his hair was the same shade as the girls.
"I, too, will go to Cross Academy, please make the arrangements."
Her silver haired companion nodded, and turned his feet making loud 'clacks' in the now quiet room as he walked out, closing the door behind him.
