Vampire Knight's not mine. Gina and family is. Kemino and family belong to Tyler (Kemino Ichijou/Kemino SaiJin). I own 90% of plot while she owns the other 10%
"Ow! Hey watch it Yagari!"
"Quit your complaining. It wouldn't hurt so much if you'd stop moving."
"Fuck you!"
Zero was leaning against the wall, watching the scene. When they had gotten back, he had taken Gina to the headmaster's office, to someone that knew more about vampire wounds; his sensei. He shouldn't have been surprised when they knew each other, seeing her mother's job, but he couldn't help it. It was weird seeing the small pink-haired girl argue with his sensei, who was a good deal taller than her.
Gina was sitting on a table, shirt off, while Toga was examining her shoulder. "Stop poking it, damn it!" He looked at her, annoyed. "I can heal fine on my own! I don't need to be messed with!"
He sighed with a growl. "I don't doubt that, but that's just the skin and muscle. Seeing that you are mostly sealed, your body may not be able to expel poison if there is any."
"Why did everyone know about that except for me?" She started to get up, but Toga pushed her back down with his hand. "Fuck you, I'm leaving."
"Zero."
He rolled his eyes, but went over and held Gina down. He had his hands on her shoulders (more like neck on her left due to the former gash). Gina grumbled under her breath while her face slightly reddened. Zero was embarrassed too, but kept it hidden. He had his hands on a girl, who had a fair body he must say, who didn't have a shirt on. It just felt weird to have his hands touching her bare skin.
Gina was clenching her teeth, trying to remain calm. She already felt awkward with Toga, who was a full-grown man, being two feet away and Zero in the room while her shirt was off. There's a reason why boys and girls had separate dorms and bathrooms! Now Zero was behind her, holding her down by her shoulders. Her stomach was flipping and she had a weird feeling in between her legs. He probably has a nice view of my boobs…
With a breath of relief, Toga took the bottle that was on the table and dumped some liquid on a cotton ball. "Hold her still," he said to his old student. Both teenagers seemed to roll their eyes at him. He rolled his one back.
Gina flinched back when Toga touched her wound with the wet cotton ball. "Kiryuu already put peroxide on! Dumbass!" He glared at her, annoyed. "Yeah, yeah… the poison idea… But it was a Level-E!" Zero tightened his hand on her right shoulder. "Ok, shutting up."
Now silence was between the three. Toga was cleaning Gina's injury, annoyed with how much her shoulder has already healed; and it hasn't even been twenty minutes. The two teenagers just felt awkward, due to their situation with each other. To get their minds off it, Gina started to count the bricks in the wall behind Toga while Zero counted the ones in the ceiling. All three hared what they were doing.
Gina had gotten to number 43 when the door opened, reviling Kemino with short purple hair. "Damn you get in trouble when you're not with me."
"Shut up," Gina said, wanting to cross her arms. So, instead, she pointed at Zero with her good arm. "It's his fault."
"How?" the other three asked.
Gina looked to the side. "He's the one that took me here so he and Yagari could gang-rape me."
"Uh-huh," Kemino said, nodding with a slight laugh. "Two is totally a gang." Gina pulled a face at her. She pulled one back, then she smiled evilly at her. "Or did you and Zero-kun do something and are just blaming it on a Level-E attack?" She raised her eyebrows.
Gina glared at her. "Just wait 'til I'm free to move. If Kiryuu doesn't kill you, I will."
"I know." Kemino smiled at her friend.
"I thought Cross kept the vampires a secret," Toga muttered under his breath, bandaging Gina's shoulder.
"Kemino's a special case," Gina said.
"Oh, you do know people's names," he said. Ever since knowing Gina, which was basically almost her whole life, she had always called people by their surname, like her father.
"What? She's my friend." Gina was somewhat confused by his statement. "You know I don't see the point of titles."
He rolled his eye as he finished wrapping the bandage. "Done. Now get out of here. All of you."
Zero let go of Gina as she gave Toga a mock salute. "Right on it." She quickly got her shirt on and basically ran out of the door. Kemino shook her head in disbelief.
"Remind her not to move her arm too much," Toga said to the remaining two, "otherwise we'll be back here again."
"No problem," Kemino said. She was about to turn and leave when she noticed a bag. "What's…" Then Gina came running back into the room. She took the bag and was about to run back out, but Kemino grabbed the back of her shirt. "Slow down. The dorm's not going anywhere."
"Meh." Gina didn't know what she was feeling, but she just felt awkward. Zero, a teenage boy, had just seen her without a shirt, twice. It wasn't like this the first time. Maybe because she understood the sense in it, unlike a few minutes ago. Now she just couldn't be in the same room as him. This was the first time she's ever felt like this.
The three teens walked out of the room. Kemino and Gina went one way while Zero went another, most likely to go report to the chairman. Before turning the corner, Gina turned back to Zero. "Kiryuu." The white-haired boy turned and looked at her, looking somewhat stressed. Her face blushed slightly and she looked to the side. "Thanks for saving me earlier." She felt embarrassed to say this. Gina was an extremely stubborn person and usually dealt with things alone. Thanking someone for saving her life was new. Zero just nodded to her. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." She looked at him, completely serious. "And remember to bring some of your drawings!" She could faintly see him smirk slightly as he turned to leave. This made her smile to herself. Kemino called out for Gina to hurry up. Still smiling softly, she turned the corner and ran to her friend.
"What's with the smile?" Kemino asked when Gina caught up. "Did you get a kiss good-bye?"
Gina punched her in the arm. "No, you idiot," she said, her smile gone. "I just said thanks. Why can't I have a blissful moment of smiling without you accusing me of something?"
"Because I'm your best friend and I love you." Kemino rubbed her sore arm. "And you didn't have to hit me so hard."
"Then butt out of my relationships with other people!"
"So there is something between you two."
"No!" Gina growled and stomped ahead.
Kemino laughed. "Oh calm down Gina-chan." The two went back to the dorm, continuing the argument.

He waited for their footsteps to fade before relaxing his muscles. His throat was slightly burning. He looked at the palm of his right hand; a small amount of red liquid was on the side of it. Zero stared intently at it, the smell intoxicating him. It was a mixture of tang with a hint of spice. His throat burned for the red liquid more and more the longer he smelt it. Slowly he raised his hand to his mouth and licked it. Even in this small amount the flavor was huge. It was kind of fruity and sweet but had a kick. He turned his head back, eyes red. He should follow her… it wouldn't be too hard to get more…
Zero punched the wall beside him. He shouldn't be like this! A while ago he could be next to her when the blood was fresh and be fine, but he wanted to go after her. It didn't make any sense. He had blood last night, he should be fine for the next two weeks!
Yukimura, Gina. She was an interesting girl to say the least. At first, she was trouble with her smart-ass attitude and the fact that she was a vampire. But somehow they were on friendly terms. Was it because of what she had hidden under her stubbornness that she has shown him? Almost everything she said was an attempt to make him smile, which would result in a small smirk. Her conversations were mostly complaining about life and cursing other people out. She vented out to him and he would, somewhat, as well.
But nothing could explain why he was on the edge of hunger. Yes, that scent was intoxicating, but, again, he had drunk blood within the last 24 hours. His senses somehow seemed to heighten around her. Nothing seemed to make much sense to him anymore; ever since She made his life a living hell. A "mostly sealed" vampire girl wasn't helping. After a few deep breathes, Zero started to continue his way to see the chairman. Lingering on these thoughts wasn't something to do right now. Where he was standing earlier, there were cracks visible where he had punched the wall.

Entering their room, Gina was tired for once. She decided it was due to blood loss. But life never cared about what Gina wanted. The room was a complete mess. All sorts of things were on the floor: papers, fabric, and trash. There may have been piles, but she couldn't tell.
"Are you seriously going to tell me that his was all under your bed?" Gina asked turning her head to Kemino.
"Of course not." Kemino said. "That's impossible. I cleaned out my desk and closet too."
Gina glared at her, but sighed. "Tell me where the 'trash' and 'keep' piles are so I know what to burn."
"Primarily the things to the left are crap."
"I should leave you to clean this up, you know that?"
"But that will deny you from using my awesome notes to review for finals."
"Exactly."
The two girls gathered like items into more distinctive piles, planning to take the trash out tomorrow. To stay somewhat sane, Kemino asked Gina about the Level-E attack. Gina described everything, except for the second sense that had taken over. Kemino would have said that it was adrenaline, but Gina knew it wasn't. This sense had thought, like another person. Now that she thought of it, maybe it was her vampire side. It made some sense.
"So question," Kemino said, stretching her back. "Would you rather go against another Level-E or a Noble?"
"Level-E," Gina said without thought. "Nobles actually have sense to plan out and strategize, unlike the pure insanity of the Level-E."
"Even if the Noble has been deprived of blood for a while?"
"Yep."
"Interesting." Kemino picked up an instrument case. "Look at what I dug out."
Gina looked over. "A violin?" she wondered out loud. "You never said you played."
"I want to learn," she said, opening the lid and staring at the beautiful, handmade instrument. "It was my father's. He said that it's a family heirloom." Her purple eyes began to get lost in the memories. "He used to play it all the time…"
Gina went over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sure it sounds the exact same way it looks." She smiled, trying to keep Kemino in the present.
Kemino smiled at her and nodded. She gently plucked one of the strings. The single note seemed to sob. "Such a pity that it hasn't been played in such a long time," she said.
"That's what this place needs!" Gina said. "An orchestra!"
Kemino laughed. "You just want an excuse to not do gym."
"That's a bonus. But think of how more open the students would be!"
"You should be saying this to the chairman."
"You're my practice dummy."
I'll also show you a sweet dream next night.
Ha! I told you I would update! Not sure on the next one, trying to figure out the next chapter to write before putting up another one. I might not this weekend because Friday is my birthday (YAY 17!) and I know that I'm getting a DBQ in APUSH. Sad face. Thanks to DeadlyVampire-DayDream Corp. , lmamc, Kemino Ichijou/Kemino SaiJin, and PhoenixSummer for reviewing. I love hearing from you guys; I love the support. Continue asking questions if you wish and such.
