Line 10: Through…

'Okay it's been a week now after what happened to me around town. I think I have already recovered since my body doesn't ache anymore. The bite mark on my neck had also vanished although I sometimes dream about it; about how he bit me at that time… And being attacked by that guy… Now I know how Yuuki felt when she had those nightmares. They were really scary…' Yori thought as she wrote on her diary.

She had finished patrolling with Zero and it was their rest hours. Since she was injured a few days ago, the Chairman thought of giving her less work to do. It was okay on her side since she could have more time study and sleeping hours to take. But now she had all her time she noticed it was pretty lonely and sad when she would be alone in her room. She missed Yuuki who would pop up out of no where looking so haggard from her prefect duties.

Yori sighed as she shook her head. She closed her diary and decided to put it on the drawer of her table. Then she looked at a place on her table that seemed to miss something.

'Oh… right, the gift Hanabusa-sempai gave me… I returned it to him.' Yori thought and sighed. She stood up from her chair and went to look at the calendar hanged on the wall. 'I think I should thank him, I mean he did save me… Even though, he bit me. But then he still saved me right…?'

Then she was surprised at she looked at it. 'February 14… I think I'm supposed to remember something important on that date… Now what was it?'

Yori's thoughts were bothered by a knock on her door. She instructed whoever was at the door to enter. It was after curfew so she was sure it would either be a Night Class Student or her co-prefects. As the door opened she saw Mitsuki enter her room.

Mitsuki went inside and smiled at her. "Hey!! I hope I'm not bothering you or anything."

"No, I was just thinking of something. Can I help with something?" Yori asked Mitsuki as she noticed an uncertainty in her eyes.

Mitsuki put a hand at the back of head and seemed she was thinking of something awkward. "Well…" She began. "There is something, I'd like to ask of you."

"I'm glad to help as long as I can." Yori said and smiled to Mitsuki. Mitsuki seemed to relax when she saw Yori smile.

"Okay, we'll I wanted to ask you if you could help me err… bake chocolates and well find a dress to wear at the Valentine's ball. It's my first time attending it and well I'm not sure what is appropriate to wear on such an occasion." Mitsuki said and was embarrassed to tell Yori.

Yori smiled at Mitsuki's innocent favor. "Sure, I'll help you. I'm sure I have some gowns here that my mom sent me."

"Really?" Mitsuki smiled and was relieved she went to talk to the right person.

"Yup." Yori nodded and said. 'So that's what I forgot… the Valentine's ball." Yori was busy searching her closet when Mitsuki said something.

"Um… Can ask another favor Yori-chan?" Mitsuki added after a few minutes.

"What is it?" Yori asked as she looked at Mitsuki and draw a particular dress. She showed the dress to Mitsuki and added, "Is this color and dress okay to you?"

Mitsuki looked at the dress Yori held. It was a simple violet dress gown that reached below her knee. It was sleeveless and simple but elegant. The dress matched her eyes and it was perfect for her, not too daring and yet not too simple. Mitsuki smiled and stood beside Yori. She took the dress and thanked Yori.

"Thanks, it's perfect." Mitsuki said and took Yori's hands into hers. She clasped Yori's hand and smiled sweetly. Then she remembered something, "Oh yeah, can I borrow another one?"

"What for?" Yori wondered at Mitsuki's second request.

"Well… I have a friend who also has no dress to wear and well..." Mitsuki blabbered and it made Yori's lips curl into smile.

"Sure, what color…?"

"Anything, she's not really picky when it comes to these things." Mitsuki told Yori. Yori nodded and went to search for another dress on her closet.

Yori pulled a white and pink dress that was spaghetti strapped. It was below the knees and it was striking and beautiful. Yori has worn it once and it was for a short time. Yori showed it to Mitsuki and asked if it was okay.

"Perfect!" Mitsuki smiled and took the other dress to her hands. "Woow, you sure have a lot of dresses and gowns."

"My mom usually sends it to me." Yori said and smiled at Mitsuki.

"Really? Well, my mom usually picks my dresses. And every gown I have is made exclusively for me." Mitsuki said and shared to Yori her life.

"Ditto, so does mine." Yori giggled at her similarities with Mitsuki.

"No way!! I thought my mom was the only one who does that. I mean she forced me one time to wear a dress that was too revealing and really… well… sparkly." Mitsuki frowned at the memory of wearing that kind of dress. "The whole night I was squirming out of my gown and my mom scolded me for my behavior."

"Really? When was that?"

"It was the celebration for passing the exam to be a student magic user. I was around 8 back then; Apollo and I were able to pass. And well, our parents wanted to celebrate."

"I see… Tell me was the exam really hard?"

"Well, yeah… in a way. You have to know and use at least 100 spells. Then you have to make something remarkable."

"And what did you do back then?"

"Well… it was…" Mitsuki paused and looked a far as she thought of the past. "It was… summoning some dead people."

"Necromancy?" Yori said as Mitsuki nodded. Yori continued to ask, "Did it work?" Mitsuki nodded again and wryly smile. 'I can't believe there is a possibility of raising dead people.'

"I think I should go now, Apollo's probably looking for me again. Thanks for the dresses once again Yori-chan." Mitsuki said and walked towards the door.

"No problem." Yori replied as Mitsuki opened the door and walked out of her room. Mitsuki bid her goodnight and left.

Somehow Yori thought that Mitsuki was hiding something from her. It was about her initiation as a witch, 'I wonder what happened to her as she tried to use necromancy magic.' Yori thought as she sat on her bed and laid on it.

She sighed as she let the thoughts drift to her mind. Then she stood up and turned off the lights. She went to her bed ad cover herself with her sheet. She closed her eyes and hope she wouldn't dream of something scary or even bringing dead people back to the living.

An hour before the Valentine's ball, Yori heard a knock on her door. 'It was probably Mitsuki' Yori thought and instructed whoever was at the door to enter.

Mitsuki entered just as Yori expected with a smile on her face, "Yori-chan!! You ready? Zero told me we should get our asses on the gym. The chairman wants us to checks on things."

"I'm ready." Yori smiled and walked in front of Mitsuki. "You look great on that." She complimented to Mitsuki.

"Thanks, the dress you lend me fitted perfectly." Mitsuki smiled and twirled around as a result of her compliment. "Plus you look great too in that ice blue dress. Hmmm… I bet that guy will fall head over heels to you when he sees you." Mitsuki said as she grinned mischievously.

Yori blushed and said thanks. Then Yori noticed a tattoo on Mitsuki's upper left arm. "Is that a tattoo?" She asked Mitsuki.

Mitsuki nodded and touched the tattoo, "Yeah, it's a mark that I'm a Clair." For a while, Yori thought she saw Mitsuki's eyes turned sad but then it faded. "Anyway, enough talk let's go to the gym before Mr. Grumpy scolds us." Mitsuki changed the topic and pulled Yori out of her room. Then she added, "Oh yeah, Apollo said he's not feeling well. So he won't be around."

"That's too bad, I'm sure his fans will be heartbroken." Yori joked around. Mitsuki laughed and nodded as an agreement.

"Geez… it's so boring." Hanabusa yawned as he watched the dancing couples on the dance floor. It was a Night and Day Class party and yet he isn't thrilled to mingle with his fans at that moment. 'Where was she?' He asked himself as his eyes roamed around the vicinity looking for her. But to his dismay he couldn't find her, even her shadow. He didn't notice his cousin's presence walking beside him.

"I see you aren't flirting around." Kain mumbled to his cousin as he looked at the dance floor.

"I'm not in the mood."

"I see."

Silence enveloped the two cousins.

"I saw Miss Prefect a while ago."

"Where?!" Hanabusa looked at his cousin. His voice changed from dull to alarming. Before he could take back what he said and done, his cousin smiled. 'Dang it… He caught me.'

"I knew it. You were looking for her weren't you? That's why you aren't dancing." Kain teased Hanabusa and smiled. He put his hands on his pocket as he leaned on the wall.

"Aargh…" Hanabusa mumbled as he sighed. "Well, where was she?" He tried to sound less excited and slightly pouted as he asked.

"She was with Kiryu walking outside. They looked like they were discussing something." Kain replied.

'With Kiryu?' Hanabusa thought as he cursed Zero. 'That guy is really a—'

"Forget that, there she is. I guess she's with one of the Clairs." Kain said as he looked at Yori with Mitsuki.

Hanabusa looked to where his cousin was looking at. Then he saw her, and boy was she beautiful. Hanabusa wanted walked to her but he controlled himself, what would his fans say to him? 'Of course they would be angry at her; I should be a gentleman and ask her politely. Then maybe I would dance with the other girls, maybe.' He thought as he looked at her.

"You should make up your mind if you would either dance with her or not." Kain suggested at Hanabusa without looking at him.

"You speak like you're an expert at courting, cousin." Hanabusa teased his cousin and smirked.

"Hmm… I thought you were the expert." Kain teased back.

Hanabusa looked at his cousin and saw him looking at someone, Ruka Soen to be exact. He grin at his cousin and said, "I return the question to you cousin, make up your mind if you want to dance with Ruka or not."

Kain converted his gaze to Ruka then to Hanabusa. He sighed, they were really cousins. They were both admired and yet they can't get the girl they want. Life was ironic. He sighed again and took his hands out of his pocket. Then he stood away from the wall, he turned his back and spoke to his cousin. "Nothings gonna happen if you don't ask her."

Hanabusa smiled and nodded, "Right." He looked at Yori. She was alone now since Mitsuki was asked by some guy in the Day Class for a dance. He took the chance and walked towards her. When he was a few steps away from his cousin he heard him utter, "Goodluck." He looked back at his cousin and replied, "You too." Then he continued walking.

He felt his heart stopped when he was almost near her. He coughed to get her attention and when she did, she smiled at him. He smelled her scent and it tickled his senses. It made his heart and stomach twist when she looked at him with her chocolate brown eyes. He wondered how much she had an effect on him, he wondered if she felt the same way too.

"You look beautiful." Hanabusa complimented to Yori and slightly blushed. He looked away from her to hide his embarrassment.

"You look quite dashing as well." Yori complimented back and smiled. Her cheeks were burning from his compliment and gaze before. But she tried to compose herself in front of him. She was feeling butterflies on her stomach and she didn't know what to do to stop the feeling. She shook her head slightly to remind herself of her position to him. 'I guess Mitsuki was right, but that doesn't mean he would fall for me… right?'

Hanabusa roamed is eyes on the dance floor, his cousin was there dancing with Ruka. They stood out of the crowd dancing. Everyone was looking at them and so was the other couple, composing of Yuuki and Kaname. He looked at them then to Yori. She was looking at the couples too, Hanabusa thought of asking her but he was embarrassed. He let his fingers twitch and his hand took hers.

Yori looked at Hanabusa as he held her hand. He simply said, "Let's dance." And then he took her to the dance floor. Yori smiled at his attitude. When they were on the dance floor, she put her hand on his shoulder and clasps his hand automatically. Hanabusa smiled at her and took the lead on their dance as the music started to beat.
