Chapter 13

She had no problem getting them to Lord Kaname he took the two and said "Akemi you can take him to headmaster Cross to deal with. These two came with a new night class student and I will deal with them."

Akemi nodded and led Ichiru towards the headmaster's quarters as they were walking Ichiru noticed the locket on her wrist. He got a sly grin asking "So when are you going to do your job and kill my vampire brother?"

Akemi looked at him oddly saying "I have no idea what you are talking about Ichiru." He rolled his eyes replying "You have the vampire hunter symbol on your locket and Zero is turning into a vampire. So it would be your job to kill him."

Akemi glared at him saying "I am not a vampire hunter and even if I was I wouldn't kill Zero he's done nothing wrong. The locket was given to me before I became an orphan."

Ichiru pouted as they continued to headmaster Cross before deciding to comment "I see Zero is your vampire lover that's why you won't kill him?" Akemi was shocked yelling "Zero isn't my lover he's my friend! Perhaps you should try it Ichiru I bet you two could be good friends if you'd quit being so jealous of him."

Ichiru was beyond pissed off now he grabbed her and slammed her into the wall yelling "I am not jealous of him! He is nothing compared to me so why would I be jealous?"

Akemi hit him with the rod she pushed him off twisting the rod exposing the blade saying "I do believe the sharp blade will work on human skin as well."

Ichiru looked at her shocked as she lightly ran the blade across his face drawing his blood. She ran her finger along the blade putting her bloody finger in her mouth before saying "You taste bitter Ichiru."

He pushed her off yelling "You're sick and twisted no wonder why you won't kill my brother you're just like him." He quickly disarmed her glaring at her saying "I could end you right here now." He raised his hand up and was about to push the sword into her side when he found his hand frozen in place and unable to move.

Akemi pushed him away from her and grabbed her sword back. Only to watch Hanabusa grab Ichiru asking "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you. You were about to hurt someone I care for deeply."

Akemi put her sword away grabbing Hanabusa saying "He's not worth it Hanabusa sampai let headmaster Cross deal with him."

Hanabusa glared at him saying "You're lucky she's here Ichiru but do anything like you did tonight again, and even she won't be able to save you." He dragged Ichiru to headmaster Cross before leaving. He now understood how Kaname felt anytime Yuki was in danger. He returned to his classes reluctantly leaving Akemi behind with headmaster Cross. Headmaster Cross sent Akemi to see Rima while he dealt with Ichiru.

Akemi had been sent by Headmaster Cross to borrow something to wear to the ball. Rima was thrilled to use her skills on someone else. She went through her closet picking out all sorts of colors trying to find the one's that went with Akemi's skin tone finally deciding on a burgundy dress. Rima smiled saying "You must try it on."

Akemi changed into the dress it fell to her ankles it had a sheer silver skirt over the burgundy that ended at the knees in the front and was at an angle towards the back. The top was solid burgundy but the sleeves were silver and went down to her wrist. Rima looked her over saying "Turn around I want to see all of you."

Akemi slowly turned around asking "You're sure this isn't a little too much?" Senri looked into the room saying "no it's most certainly not too much. In fact, it's not enough we need to do something with this hair of yours."

Akemi sighed as she sat down to let Senri look over her hair. He pulled it out of the bun and let her waist length hair fall. Senri looked at Rima saying "That bun does nothing for you why do you hide such pretty hair?"

Akemi blushed slightly replying "I'm lazy and putting it in a bun is quick and easy." Rima looked at her saying "It should be a crime to do what you do to such beautiful hair."

Senri brushed her hair circling her before he decided to curl it. He then took some flower combs and put one on each side of her head pulling some of her hair away from her face. They both stepped back and looked at the vision in front of them before Rima ran and got a pair of Silver heels for Akemi to put on her feet. Once she stepped into the shoes both stood there in awe she was prettier than they had thought. Rima smiled yelling out "You need a little makeup to bring out your features."

Rima went to work quickly before stepping back saying "Picture perfect and ready for the ball."

Senri bowed politely before extending his hand and asking "May I have the honor of escorting you to the ball. I believe once there Hanabusa will want you all to himself."

Akemi took Senri's arm and let him led her to the ball that night. Rima followed after them wanting to see the look on Hanabusa's face when they arrived. Zero was the first to notice Akemi saying "Who knew you could clean up so nicely."

Akemi grinned at Zero replying "I wish I could say the same but you didn't bother to change out of your school uniform." Zero walks off mumbling "I'll never get girls."

Akemi shakes her head at him before heading over to Yuki saying "You look pretty." Yuki smiles replying "Yeah lord Kaname sent the dress for me." Akemi says "Rima was kind enough to let me borrow one of hers."
