When Sara and the rest of the Night Class returned to the Moon Dorm, Sara was called into Kaname's office. Maria, the new girl, was standing in front of Kaname's desk. Takuma was leaning casually against the wall with his arms folded and Kaname was sitting behind his desk. "You called, Kaname?" Sara said. Kaname looked up at her and nodded.
"I did indeed, Sara, please do come in." Sara nodded and walked in. "Apparently, our new addition to the Moon Dorm is feeling too uneasy to stay in here in this Dorm." Kaname explained. Sara raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?" she asked. Kaname nodded. Maria then spoke up.
"I have a very weak constitution, Sara-sama. I'm afraid that the other vampires in this magnificent dorm will try and take adavantage of that fact." Maria explained. Sara glanced at Kaname, wondering what he was going to do. "If I may, Kaname-sama, Sara-sama, I would like to stay in the abandoned dorm just across the way...if that's okay...?" Maria asked, eyes cast down. Kaname thought for a moment, considering his decision. The three other vampires in the room waited for him to respond.
"Kaname, you cannot seriously consider this? She cannot be left on her own with no supervision." Takuma said. Kaname raised his eyebrows.
"You're quite right, Takuma, but we cannot have her uncomfortable. I'm sure that you'll behave yourself, won't you, Kurenai-san?" Kaname said. Maria nodded quickly.
"Oh yes, Kaname-sama, I will!" Maria said desperately. "I promise." her eyes were pleading. Sara gave Kaname a pleading look.
"Kaname, the decision should be easy. It should be yes." Sara smiled at Kaname. Kaname gave her an unreadable look.
"Fine, but I will send someone to check up on you every so often." Kaname said. Maria's face lit up.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she squealed. She threw herself into Sara's arms and then pranced out of the room. Sara's mouth had dropped.
"Well...she's certainly...something..." Sara whispered. Takuma looked up at her and nodded.
"Was it wise, Kaname, to let her live alone?" Takuma asked. "Has she even been briefed on the rules of the school yet?"
"Relax, Ichijo, I know what I'm doing." Kaname replied. Sara and Takuma looked at each other worriedly. Kaname sat down behind his desk. "Now, Ichijo, please escort Sara back to her room. I'm sure she's tired." Kaname commanded. Sara raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not sleepy actually, but if you want to get rid of me that much..." Sara shrugged, "...then I must go." Sara smirked softly before walking away with Takuma. While walking down the corridor to Sara's room, Sara looked up at the straight backed, blond haired young man and decided to ask him something.
"Ichijo, may I ask you something?" Sara asked. Takuma, quite startled, stopped walking. Sara stopped too and turned to face him. "Well?" she prompted.
"I think that you're a very nice girl and you're strong too. However, you wear a mask as well and hide behind your pureblood status to give you support." he said quietly. Sara nodded.
"Thank you, Ichijo...that's the first honest answer I have ever had off anyone. Thank you." Sara replied.
"Well, you asked me and I answered honestly." Takuma smiled. Sara nodded. She felt like a coward when he said that she hid behind her pureblood status. But it was true. She was a coward and always wanting other people to put her out of her misery.
"Yes, you did and I am grateful." Sara smiled, "Thank you." Takuma smiled back at her. "You're such a good friend, Ichijo."
Sara hugged him briefly around the middle and then skipped away happily. Takuma sighed and followed Sara to her room.
The next night, Maria, even after only being there a few hours, was starting to get on everyone's nerves. Her sweet, girly attitude to everyone made their spine shiver and not in a pleasant way. Sara, trying not to cause a conflict, stayed away from the girl, knowing that she would probably kill her. Maybe it was a good idea for Maria to stay in the abandoned dorm.
Aidou, being easily bored and a little careless, started saying how much he wanted blood, especially Yuuki's blood in a hushed voice to Kain. However, purebloods in the room heard him. Kaname looked like he was about to kill him and Sara had an amused smirk plastered all over her face. She placed a hand on his and whispered,
"Let me handle it, Kaname." She stood up and sauntered over to Aidou. "Aidou..." she said quietly. Aidou jumped and turned around. Sara slapped him, leaving a red mark across his handsome features and an echo that filled the whole room.
"Sara-sama...?" his voice full of hurt, however, Sara remained unmoved.
"You know the rules, Aidou. That topic of conversation is band here at the school. God, I'm new here and I know that it is against the rules." Sara said with her hands on her hips. Aidou nodded in shame.
"Yes, Sara-sama, it was foolish of me. Please, forgive me." Aidou said apologetically. Sara sighed and nodded.
"All right, Aidou, you're forgiven." Sara stroked his stinging cheek soothingly before turning on her heal and walking back to her seat. Aidou dropped back in his seat feeling quite embarrassed. He looked up and saw Maria smirking at him. He glared at her and Maria turned back around, giggling.
"There's something wrong with that girl." Aidou mumbled, referring to Maria. Kain nodded silently.
While everyone was silently working, Sara turned her head and jumped a little when she saw Zero staring at Maria through the window. This made her frown. Was he like this with every new vampiric student who stepped foot in the school or was it something deeper? She turned back to her work, hoping to take her mind off the current situation. Takuma, who was sitting next to Sara, turned to her and looking at her curiously.
"Are you feeling all right, Sara-sama?" he asked. Sara looked up at him.
"I'm feeling quite well, Ichijo..." She said simply. "...just fine..."
Well that's all for now. REVIEW!
