Chapter 12
"Protect…"
An awakening was held in the midst of a crowd. The silver-haired girl collapsed out of exhaustion. Aidou ran to her, took her in his arms and took her to the dorm. Not a single word was heard, silence emits the atmosphere as everyone also went their ways. The party ended.
In the dorms…
Aidou was holding tightly on to the sleeping girl, her hands with the same paleness as his, he caressed it with importance. Others never entered the room and left them with silence. The others who was close to those people, stayed just outside of the room, only a thick wall separating them.
"What happened just now…?" Kain was confused.
"All we know, she's still alive" shiki stated, a bit shocked at the revelation.
"Yuuki-sama, did you knew all this before us?" takuma couldn't hesitate himself. Yuuki shoved her head towards him, hiding her worried face.
"The past days that I was gone, everything was being prepared…I just wanted to know her better, the real her…" Yuuki was in guilt.
"But does Yuuki-sama know the future that awaits her, she awoke and she will never let her go now…" Rima knew too much. Kaname gave a glare and made her to a halt.
"Her?" Yuuki began to feel more guilt.
"It doesn't need much awareness of you Yuuki" Kaname shove her leading her to her room.
"What shall we do? Aidou would definitely do something unnecessary…" Ruka suggested.
"He thought she killed her. He'll definitely do whatever it takes to protect her" takuma said.
"But what if he kills her, what happens" shiki asked in serious conditions.
"We won't know" Seiren said "Kaname –sama warns anyone to say anything to Yuuki-sama. The only thing we could do is protect her secretly, it is Kaname-sama's order, no unnecessary movements…okay, Aidou-kun?" she glanced at him straight in the eye. Aidou for once had a poker face and never replied. He shoved his head and concentrated at the sleeping girl.
"Airi…" he ran tears. It came across the girl's cheek that made her awoke.
"Ai-ch-" she never continued when she saw him cry too much. She just smiled and gave him a hug.
"I thought she killed you…I never thought…I'll see you…"he murmured in her caress.
"Sorry it took so long for you" she whispered "you look more handsome since the last time we saw each other"
"You too…more beautiful than ever imagined" he took a glance at her beauty and her fangs.
Meanwhile, in the hallway…
"sei-san…" the familiar voice echoed to seiren who passed by the halls with large glassed windows. Out in the open, a shadow of a girl was seen.
"Kumiko?!..." seiren's eyes widened in shock.
"It's almost time…I'll definitely catch my prey…just you wait" she grinned then called out "anatole!" suddenly a black shadow aroused and made a figure of a little boy. Seiren felt a deeper sign of horror in her heart to see the boy's face, even just a glimpse.
"No…you…him…why?!" seiren scratches the glass making a glass have cracks from her nails. Then both of the shadows disappeared like dust. Seiren ran tears of fright and guilt.
It was a night someone would never forget. A night were stars twinkled the most as the eclipse ended with the revelation held. An addition of challenges yet to come. A new beginning or an end. No one knows, what the future told.
Message to a friend (hope she reads it) : (
"I haven't betrayed anyone, it's not easy being in the middle of a fight and you can't seem to let one of them go. It's hard, I love both of you guys (as friends) and I don't want any of us to fight. Please. Let it go…please"
