A Few Months Later…
I was so happy this day had finally come. Today meant no more hiding our relationship in the darkness of the night and early morning. Today meant I could finally tell my students just who was leaving those love bites –which I made him pay for every night- on my neck. Today meant that Kai could finally find out the extent of my relationship with his foster son.
Today promised so much, but first, I had to make it through the ceremony. As the English teacher –my sensei had never returned, due to his nephew's chronic illness- I was the third years' class sponsor. So I had to stand up and give a speech to the class.
The ceremony was in full swing, with Kai at the microphone, directing the whole thing as headmasters were wont to do.
"And now, a word from the class sponsor, Koshiba Sanako-sensei," he introduced.
I stood up slowly, my black dress longer than most of what I'd taught in this year because it fell below my knees. Walking to the center of the platform, I held my head high as I looked out into a sea of students and parents. As an added blessing, I didn't falter or trip over anything.
"It's wonderful to be gathered here this morning. I'm so thrilled to see so many of my favorite students graduate this year, although, there was a sudden rush for English credits." The students laughed at that. "Graduation is so much more than a diploma and the end of high school. It's the opening of a door that you must walk through, or else be left behind.
"But you don't have to leave behind where you've come from. That will always be a part of you. The best advice I can give you, having recently graduated myself, is this: 'Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.'" I smiled at the kids, seeing a slight puzzled look fall over their faces before they thought it through. "Thank you."
I strode back to my seat, careful not to fumble in my three-inch heels. Kai kissed my hand, his way of saying 'Good job', then headed back to the microphone. The ceremony continued without a hitch.
When it came time to hand out the diplomas to our graduates, Kai asked me to hand them to them as he called them up. He rolled through the list of students slowly, and I shook each hand before handing them a diploma. When he called Zero's name and he came up for his diploma, I gave him a hug before I handed him his diploma, feeling my excitement spilling over. His smile reflected his own excitement, but he hurried to join his classmates.
The ceremony came to an end soon enough, so I sought out Zero. "Zero-kun!" I called, once off the rostrum.
He turned and found me with his eyes, his wicked smile daring me to do what I really wanted to do. So I did: I ran into his arms and kissed him soundly on the lips. I heard applause from a few onlookers, and looked up to see that not only was Yagari-san in the crowd, so were Mother and Ichirub. I knew Kaname was watching the whole thing from the Moon Dorm and smiling like a fool.
I rolled my eyes. "Methinks our fan club wants to see another kiss," I told him, smiling.
"I can live with that," he told me before dropping his lips to mine in a possessive kiss.
I slid my arms around him and kissed him back with abandon, forgetting our surroundings in favor of the one I loved. We separated to catch our breath. "I love you, Zero," I whispered.
"I love you, too, Sanako."
"Get a room!" Ichiru hollered. My mother smacked his arm.
Yagari-san eyed his former pupil. "Ichiru, if you'd been paying any attention, you'd know that it just became legal for them to have a physical relationship. So they haven't done anything physical."
"Hey!" I yelled at them. "We can hear you guys!"
Ichiru and Yagari-san looked up, startled.
I rolled my eyes. Honestly, they couldn't even be ashamed of talking about us?
Zero took my hand. "Are you ready to face the Headmaster's wrath?"
"I feel like we could face anything together. Besides, Kai's the one who put the king-sized bed in that room. Honestly, did he think I wouldn't make use of it?" I linked my arm in his as eternity spread out before us and the heavens smiled. Finally, all was right in my world.
To think that this all happened because one night, I taught vampires.
