Ranmaru and I finished our rounds around the huge campus. No other incidents happened while we made our trips.

I stepped out of the shower and put on some sweats and a tank top. I started drying my hair when Ranmaru walked in.

I looked at him before speaking, "It's not nice to enter without knocking first."

Ranmaru scoffed at me. "Like I'd take recommendations from a girl close to vampires."

I glared at him. "This coming from the guy who doesn't quite trust anyone but himself." I turned away from him. "There's a reason why I trust Kaname and Takuma. Well, Kaname more so than anyone else in the Night Class, Ranmaru. You should learn to trust someone besides yourself." After that I stormed out of the room.

Katsumi's POV

I leaned against the wall and slid down. I sat there in shock at what I just said to him. I brought my knees to my chest and curled into a ball.

Why did I say that to him? I'm not usually like that. Why did I act like that? Tears welled up in my eyes. Why did I have to be cruel to him? What does he think of me now?

I sat there, curled in a ball, crying like a child that got its toy taken away. Why was I so cruel?

I cried myself to sleep.

Ranmaru's POV

I stared after her. I stared at her in confusion.

Is she always like that? She has trust issues. If the only people she truly trusts are vampires, how can she trust anyone else? And she's telling me that I need to trust others when she only trusts bloodsuckers like them.

I leaned against the counter lost in thought. Lost in thought over a girl like her. She seemed nice when I first saw her. What changed? Why did she get so defensive about them? What did she mean by her only trusting that man?

I walked out of the bathroom and noticed that Katsumi had fallen asleep just outside.

She mumbled in her sleep. "I'm sorry" was barely audible but audible enough for me to hear.

I felt a smile creep onto my face. I picked her up and carried her over to the bed and put her down gently.
