"Did your dad register me for the Night Class yet?" I asked the day before we headed back to Cross Academy. "I know he told me he would the day after I arrived here, but I'm not sure if he did."
"He did. It was a couple days ago that he did," Hana-chan answered. "He registered you under a different name. He knows that Kaname has his suspicions about you, and he wants to look out for you."
I gave him a hug. It looked like he needed one. I did as well. "I like the name your dad came up with for when he registered me for the Night Class. I really don't want Kaname to figure out who I am yet. I'm scared of what"
"It's a good disguise. My father knows you're worried. Trust him and his judgment."
I nodded in agreement. "I know." I looked up at him. I smiled. "I wish I knew more about my past before we head to school. It sucks not knowing anything about it. Not having any other dreams about it over the week really makes me worry."
"I know. You've been really stressed over the week. It made me tense." Hana-chan rubbed the back of his head.
I giggled. "Thanks for everything, Hanabusa. You're one of the best things that happened to me since I came here." I turned around. I had sensed something but not sure what it was.
"Natsuko-chan, what is it?"
"I thought I heard something. I might be losing it. I think my vampire senses are finally kicking in." I felt Hanabusa get a little stiff. What is it that I'm not sensing? Then again this is all still pretty new to me.
"I heard it too. I'm not sure what it was." He grabbed my hand and we headed downstairs.
"What was that?" I asked again. "I heard it again. It sounds like it's coming from behind us this time." I looked behind us, but couldn't see, or sense anything else at the moment. "Is one of your sisters messing with us?"
"They wouldn't do something like this. Plus we would sense them if it were one of them. It's something else entirely." Aidou pulled me in close. "It does sound like it's coming from behind us, or rather all around us. But how did it get in here without anyone noticing?"
I shook my head. "I don't know. What kind of powers do Purebloods have? Do you know by any chance?" I asked.
"No one really knows. Their powers are only known amongst them." Aidou got a look on his face. "You made a good point. It might be a Pureblood doing this."
I looked up at him in shock. "Really? Do you think it could be my father doing this? He might be trying to get to me."
"It could be. I hope not," Aidou answered. "Hopefully he won't try to follow you to the academy."
I nodded.

A presence entered the room. Neither of us turned to see if the presence was real or not.

"I thought the two of you were upstairs."

We turned to see father coming towards us.

"We were," I told him. "I though I heard something. So we came to check it out."

He smiled. "Well, let's hope that it's gone for good and won't bother you ever again."

I nodded. "I hope so too."

"Both of you should get packed for school. You don't want to be rushing now do you?"

"Come on princess," Hanabusa whispered.
"Unh." I took his hand and followed him up to his room.

I sat down on his bed. "Hana-chan I'm scared. Whatever we heard really got to me. What if it's my father trying to make contact with me?"
"It'll be fine. Let's hope whatever it is doesn't follow us. You don't need to worry about a stalker while trying to have a life. I'll be there to protect you, Natsuko." Aidou came over and sat down next to me. He squeezed my hand tightly.
I snuggled in close to him. "I hope you're right about that. I just don't want to be scared all the time. Worrying about my father trying to get me. I really don't want to tell Kaname any earlier than I have to either." I sighed. "I don't know what to do anymore. I wonder if any of my friends even remember me from the other world. Shouldn't this feeling be going away, or gone already. I don't want to remember them." I felt like I was going to cry.
Aidou wrapped his arms around me. "Don't cry. I don't want to see that pretty face of yours messed up. I know my sisters don't want that either. Neither does Takuma. Please don't cry," Aidou whispered. "I'll do whatever I must to protect you."
"Thanks." I looked up at him. He had a kind, gentle smile on his face. I relaxed a little. "We should get packed."
"That's true," Aidou agreed. "Don't worry about packing. I'll do it for you. Just relax. I have everything under control."
"Really? You mean it?" I asked.
He nodded. "I'll do anything for you." Aidou caressed my face making me giggled.

I walked over to the window. I watched the sunrise. "The sky is beautiful. Such calming colors. It kind of sucks about in a big group of people. I'm not that use to be in crowds unless it was at a convention."

Hanabusa walked over to me. "It is beautiful. Like you. Everything will work out in the end. You might want to get use to it. You'll be in a big group of people at the academy." Hanabusa wrapped his arms around me. He picked me up and put me on his bed. "If you have any questions just ask me. You'll be fine, Natsuko-chan."
"Right." I buried my face in his sheets. Why can he calm me so easily? Does he know me? Were we close before we disappeared? Did something happen between us that I don't remember? I felt a few stray tears roll down my face. Something light came down on me. I looked and saw Aidou laying his jacket on me. "Thanks Hana-chan."
"It's nothing. I don't want to ever see you cry. Ever." Hanabusa picked my head up and sat down. I laid my head on his lap. "Get comfortable. Sleep." He stroked my hair.
"What is Cross Academy like?" I asked after a few moments of silence.
"It's hard to explain, Natsuko. As you already know there's a Day Class and a Night Class, which you will be joining. The Day Class doesn't know that the Night Class are all vampires. They fawn over us everyday on our way to class as well. The school has two guardians. Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu. I told you about Yuuki before already. Zero has a bit of a temper.
"I see. Are the Night Class students nice?" I felt like I was getting in over my head.
"It depends on who you ask. Some are, others not so much."
