Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. Sorry.
I know it's been a while. I have no excuse. But here is a decently long chapter if you all will forgive me? Maybe...?
(KANAME'S POV)
My, my... I was not expecting this... When I heard footsteps, I thought it had simply been Takuma... But to wake up to this...
Well, I certainly wasn't complaining.
I heard him gulp again, bringing my attention back to the situation at hand. He looked so nervous, his Robin egg eyes wide and his mouth open slightly. I studied him a few moments longer before letting his wrist go. He quickly stood up and backed away,
I held back the slight frown that threatened to show, and sat up. He licked his lips in what I guessed was a nervous habit. Raising an eyebrow at him, I grabbed the glass of artificial blood that was sitting on my table and leaned back. "Well...? Why are you in my rooms...?"
He twitched at the sound of my voice and I took a sip from the glass in my hand to hide the slight sigh that had slipped out. This wasn't exactly how I thought our... Next meeting would go...
He licked his lips nervously again before motioning towards the papers I had placed beside me. I glanced at them, vaguely recognizing them as the work I had promised to do for Ichijo. "I see... Well then..." Picking the papers back up, I held them out to the younger man, watching as he took a shaky step forward.
Reaching out a hand, he took hold of the papers, but when I let go, they fell to the floor. He made a slight sound of panic in the back of his throat before he knelt to pick up the fallen sheets. Reaching down, I picked up a few myself and handed them back to him as he looked up at me.
He paused in his kneeling position, one hand raised for the paperwork. His eyes locked on mine, his brows furrowing slightly. He slowly moved his hand, raising it towards my face. I simply stared at him, curious.
My eyebrow raised as his fingers brush over my cheek and down towards my jaw. Feeling his thumb swipe just under my bottom lip, I felt a slight moisture and the smell of thin blood. Bring back his hand, I saw a faintly pink droplet on his finger.
He smiled slightly and lowered his hand again, though he was still kneeling. From this close, I could smell his feint sent that I had missed before.
'He still smells like the sunset...' Though now a few other smells blended with it. The soap used to wash the uniforms, honey, a slight tang of sweat... And Kiryu... I mentally frowned and that. But under all of the new scents... He still smelt like he did all those years ago...
The sides of my lips lifted into the ghost of a smile and I stood, offering a hand to help him up. He seemed surprised as he grabbed my hand.
Feeling the same tingle as before shoot up my arm, I wondered if he felt it this time. Going by his surprised blink, I guess he did.
He looked up at me again, his innocent eyes looking directly into mine. 'I wonder what you see... Is it my sins? All the wrong I have done? Or do you see the foolish hope I hold.' I led him toward the door, a hand on his back to guide him, and larger waves of electricity going through my body.
I opened the door, just as Takuma was about to knock. He seemed surprised, though he quickly got over it. After a few words, They were both headed back down the stairs to finish the paperwork. Just as they were about to disappear from my view, My beauty looked back with a smile and waved at me.
I smiled back softly and nodded. "Good Night, Naruto." I said, before I softly closed my door, not missing the surprised look the blond had sported.
" A very Good Night, indeed..."
(NARUTO'S POV)
'How... Did he know my name...? I don't remember ever telling him... Maybe Ichijo told him? Probably...'
Dismissing my thoughts, I turned my attention back to the task at hand. Not long after we sat down, the rest of the papers were stacked and organized. Ichijo stood back up and stretched. "Well, how about that tour no-? Is that really the time...?"
Looking at the clock in the corner, I was surprised to see that it was 5 in the evening. "Well, it looks like that tour is going to have to wait... Class starts soon..." I nodded and was quickly shown the way out with a few apologies and the promise of another time.
Headed towards the school, I put on my Prefect's badge, not looking forward to dealing with all the fangirls. 'This reminds me too much of the Teme...'
The time passed slowly, and finally the Night Class students came out of their Dorm. They all walked by quickly, and I got a small nod from Kuran-sama, a few glares and curious looks from most of the Night Class, not to mention the Day class, and a happy wave from Ichijo.
I waved back as they disappeared into the school, before I slipped away from the still squealing, angry fangirls. And fanboy.
Walking around the campus, I did my rounds when I suddenly caught the smell of a lot of blood. Running into the building the smell was coming from, I grabbed the handle of my Katana hidden under my jacket.
What I found, I had not been expecting at all. Kaname standing with an unconscious Yuki in his arms, and a bloodied Zero with a horrified look on his face. Neither seemed aware of my presence, Kaname walking off and Zero still staring vacantly at the wooden floor in front of him.
Tentatively, I raised my hand and placed it on his shoulder. He started, pulling his gun out and pointing is at my head, before he realized it was me. "Na..ru...to..." I smiled at him as he lowered the gun back to his side.
Taking another step towards him, he flinched and took one back. "Stay away." Was all he whispered before he ran, leaving me in the middle of the staircase surrounded by Yuki's blood.
I hope you liked it. Please review everyone!
