We were out of class when Ichijou came up to me. "Akari-chan how are liking Cross Academy so far?" Ichijou asked shortly after everyone got settled in to their rooms once we got back to the dorms.
"It's fine," I answered. "Did Aidou tell you?" I asked quietly.
He nodded. "Does Kaname really have his suspicions about who you are?"
"He does. I'm not really sure if I believe it yet. It's still really new to me. Aidou might be right about who I am," I said. "Sorry I'm rambling a little."
"Akari-san?" A voice asked coming out and into view.
Ichijou turned to face him. "Kaname. What is it?" He asked.
Was he listening to our conversation? I hope not I have enough trouble trying to keep this from him. "Yes? What is it, Kaname-sama?" I asked.
"Ichijou," Kaname said. "Let me talk to her alone for awhile."
"Right. See you later Akari-chan," Ichijou said. He left us.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked after a moment of silence.
"Aidou hasn't said anything about having a twin. Is there a reason he hid it?" Kaname said to me.
I thought before I said anything. "I guess Aidou just wanted to keep me safe and protected. He might have not wanted everyone to know he had a twin for personal reasons. I don't the reasons sorry." Kaname came over to me, and put his hand to my face. "What are you doing?" I backed up a little.
"Your hiding something from me aren't you, Akari-san?"
"I'm not. I swear." My voice was a little shaky.
Kaname smirked. "Your name isn't Akari Aidou is it? It's actually Sakura Kuran, isn't it?"
I shook my head. "I don't know what you're talking about?" I took a few more steps back. "What do you mean my name is actually Sakura Kuran? I should know who I am. I'm Akari." I gulped. How does he know my first name? I'm pretty sure that I'm not a Kuran. I tried to keep my voice down.
"Are you sure Sakura? You never knew that much about your past. Your father is a Kuran. Whether you want to believe it or not."
No it can't be true. It can't be. "I don't believe you. Your lying to me. It's not true." I tried to get away, but Kaname was behind me faster than I could move. "Please let me go, Kaname-sama."
"Don't worry," Kaname whispered. Kaname wrapped his arm around me, and put his hand on my head.
"What are yo-" I tried to ask, but I fell unconcious.
What happened? I thought. The last thing I remember is talking to Ichijou and Kaname coming up behind us. Why can't I remember anything else? Did Kaname do something to make me forget? I sat up.
"Akari-chan are you all right? What happened to you?" A worried voice asked.
I looked up to see Aidou looking straight at me. "I'm fine. I really don't know what happened. The last thing I remember is that I was talking to Ichijou, and Kaname came up behind us. The next thing I know I'm here," I answered.
"Kaname better not of hurt you. I'll kill him if he did," Aidou commented.
"I don't think he did though. He wouldn't do that to a new student would he?"
"He wouldn't, but he might do it to my twin," Aidou answered. "I can't forgive him if he does hurt you."
"Thanks, but I'll be fine Aidou. I don't think he actually would hurt me," I retorted.
"Don't defend him. You don't know that for a fact."
"Kaname-sama," I whispered.
Aidou freaked. He turned. "What did do to her? You didn't hurt her did you?" Aidou asked menacingly.
Kaname slapped Aidou across the face. "Leave. Now."
Aidou bowed. "Yes, Kaname-sama." Aidou hurried out of the room.
"K-Kaname-sama what happened to me last night?" I asked. "I don't remember much. I remember talking to Ichijou and then you came. What happened after that?"
Kaname sat next to me on the bed. He pulled me in close. "You passed out. I asked Ichijou to do some paperwork, so we could talk. I wanted to get to know you. Shortly after Ichijou left you fainted. I brought you here," Kaname explained.
"I did?" I asked. "I guess it's possible. I'm still getting use to sleeping during the day and being awake during the night."
"It'll take a bit to get use to it," Kaname whispered. "You need a place to call your own don't you, Akari-chan?"
"I do."
Kaname smiled. "Sleep. You need it."
I nodded. "Right. Thanks for taking care of me when I passed out."
