Ash sighed, she was waiting outside of the headmaster office for to long now. And she needed to her sleep. Cierra and Kaname haven been to long in there. The headmaster must be telling Cierra about vampires and stuff thought Ash.

Ruby had to give the gun back to the 'angry Zero'. Zero went back on duty with Yuki where ever she went.

"I'm bored," mumbled Ruby, she sat down by Ash's legs. "And sleepy too."

"Same here, but I'm not leaving without Cierra," said Ash.

"Is she gonna be a vampire?" Ruby ask her sister.

"No, I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to be a vampire," smirked Ash.

"Good, than she doesn't have to drink my blood," smiled Ruby.

Ash laughed, Ruby can be fun to be with.

The door opened, Cross poked his head out. "Ash, come in please."

Ash nodded, and she went in the offie with Ruby behind her, "is something the matter?"

Cross sat back at his desk, Kaname was standing beside him with his arms cross and Cierra was sitting down in a chair in front of the desk.

"Is something wrong?" Ash asked, she moved so she can stand behind Cierra.

"Well, now that Cierra knows about vampires are this school. I think it's best if she becomes a maid like you." Explaied Cross.

"I'm not agreeing to this," huffed Cierra.

"Why does she have to become a maid?" Ash asked.

"Well, we are not sure if your friend can keep a secret about vampires. So she'll be a maid like you only she'll be working at the day class dorms." Smiled Cross. "I'll inform Zero and my Yuki about this and have them keep a close eye on you. Just to be safe."

"What about my class and homework?" Cierra asked. "I can't just spend the whole day cleaning up rooms!"

"Well, you won't be cleaning up all day. You'll will take shifts. Here, this is your schedule." Cross gave her a piece of paper and Cierra looked at it.

"But, does that mean I'll have to skip some classes?" Cierra asked.

"Yes, but don't worry. And the teachers won't mind." Said Cross.

"Okay," said Cierra.

"So why did you need me for?" Ash asked.

"Well, we want to ask for a favour," said Kaname.

"Yes?"

"If you do a good job with cleaning Hanabusa's room. Me and the headmaster might enrolled you to this academy," said Kaname.

Ash eyes widened. Enrolled to this academy? No private tutor anymore? Getting more friends? That's like... a dream come true.

"Please say yes, Ash." Whispered Cierra.

Ash wished she could say yes, but she couldn't. She just couldn't.

"I would love to say yes, but...I'm afraid that I'll have to say no," Ash said.

Cierra gasped, she leapt from her chair and face Ash. "What did you just say?"

"I'm not doing it," said Ash.

"Are you only saying that to joked around me?" Cierra ask her.

"No, I don't want to." Ash said.

"But Ash..." Cierra whined.

"I'm sorry, I just can't."

"Why not?" Kaname asked.

"Well, this academy is a nice place and all but...I promise my family that I would return after my maid cleaning duty and start my private lessons with my private tutor again. I can't let my family down, after all. A promise is a promise." Ash said.

Ruby kept silent.

"Well, alright. It's your choice." Said Cross.

"Well, I gotta go." Said Cierra, backing up a bit to the door.

"Hang on, you haven't receive your punishment yet," said Cross.

"You mean, being a maid is not my punishment?" Cierra questioned.

"No, it's just to make sure you won't spread our secret."

"Aww!" Complained Cierra.

"Cierra's gonna suffer," giggled Ruby behind Ash's legs.

Cierra groaned.

"Well, I'll leave you with her." Said Ash and she opened the door with Ruby following her behind.

"Your gonna leave me?!" Cierra said.

"Well, I gotta get some sleep." Ash answered.

"Ruby can you stay, please?" Begged Cierra.

"Sorry, but I gotta sleep too." Ruby answered.

"Where are you sleeping Ruby?" Ash ask her little sister.

"Somewhere secret," smiled Rub.

The room stiffened.

The headmaster laughed nervously. "What a good joke."

"It's not a joke," said Ruby.

The headmaster sweat-dropped. "Uh..."

"Trust me headmaster, Ruby is not normal," warned Cierra.

"Well, let's go Ruby." Ash said and they both left.

"Well, I gotta go to." Said Kaname and he left to.

"So, what's my punishment?" Cierra asked.

"You'll have extra homework to do." Answered the headmaster. "For sneaking into the moon dorms."

"Crap," mumbled Cierra.

"And I don't need that kind of words in this academy!" Complained the headmaster.

"Okay, okay." Cierra held up her hands in defeat. "So is that it?"

"Well, there's something else I want you to talk about," said Cross.

"Okay," Cierra sat down in the chair again.

"Tell me about these photos," said the headmaster. He laid all the photos in front of Cierra on the desk.

"My photos? What about them? "Cierra glance at her photos that she took in the wild life.

"Well, I was wondering where you got these photos," said the headmaster.

"A forest called Endless Woods," answered Cierra. "Scary place though when its night."

"Endless Woods? Haven't been there, but I certainly have heard of it. It's not to far from here, correct?"

Cierra nodded, "I don't go there anymore."

Kaien Cross nodded, "when were these photos taking?" He pointed at the photos that had the shadows in them.

"Three months ago," answered Cierra.

"Hmm," Kaien put his hands under his chin. "Suppose you do know what those shaows are."

"Yea, took me a while. A wolf." Cierra said. "That's why I stopped going there after the wolf started to creep me out."

"Like?"

"Well, the first time I saw it was at night. It was in a safe distance from me, I took a picture of it and the wolf ran off. The second time I came to it, the wolf was closer than before. Looking at me with those golden eyes, I didn't get much look at it since I kept seeing it at dark."

"And?"

"I keep seeing it every time I go to that forest to take pictures. As I keep seeing it, it came closer. I was a bit afraid but that didn't stop me from seeing it from time to time at night. I kinda felt guilty if I stopped going there. But one time, when I got that. I didn't see the wolf this time. All I saw was a couple of dead rabbits lying on the ground with paw prints around. When I went back home, I went in my room and saw paw prints all over my room. My window was open. It scared me. I realised the paw prints were in blood and that's when I stopped coming there. I'm was too afraid. I might get eaten or killed by that wolf."

"Did you tell anyone about this?"

"No. I didn't want to scare anyone."

"But you do know."

"Know what?"

"About wolves."

"Uh..."

"Wolves haven't been in Japan for thousand of years."

"Hanabusa! What did you do!" Demanded Ash as she saw his room.

"I did nothing!" Responded the blonde vampire as he read his book, while lying on his comfy bed.

"Poopy in trouble," beamed Ruby. Standing next to her sister.

"I cleaned some of your stuff, and now there's more messy stuff in your room," said Ash.

"Don't come complaining to me," said Hanabusa.

"Hanabusa! Is you want to impress Kaname. Than stop doing this mess in your room."

"Whatever, I need some of my sleep." Said Hanabusa. "Its three hourse before the sun comes up and I want so peaceful sleep before I wake up for my class tomorrow." Hanabusa yawned. "Turn the lights off."

Ash rolled her eyes, he could've t least say please at the end. But she turn the light switch off and she could hear Hanabusa moving on his bed, trying to get ready to sleep.

"I need to go to sleep, bye Ash." Yawned Ruby in a cute way and she walked off.

"Goodnight, Ruby." Whispered Ash.

She somehow manage to find her sleeping bag in the dark and she slept with a pillow over her head and Hanabusa started to sing in his sleep.

Ruby walked through the hall way until she opened a door to Shiki's room. She slowly made her way in and she carefully closed the door behind her without making any noise.

Ruby could easily see in the dark room, she saw Shiki lying on the bed asleep. With a pocky hanging out of his mouth. He didn't need covers since it wasn't cold tonight and he was even shirtless just wearing his black pants.

Ruby smiled. Tonight. She wanted to sleep with her pocky buddy.

Hope you like.

Leave a cookie behind. Or a review...please.

Ruby seems cute with Shiki by her side, :)
