Chapter 14
(OC POV)
Before I could respond, we were interrupted by the screams of hundreds of anxious Day class girls, some almost fainting at the sight of the Night class. My hands flew to my ears as I tried to quiet the overpowering volume of fangirls. I didn't have any luck.
The Night class quietly walked to their booths and sat down. Kain looked bored, Aidou looked excited, Ruka, Shiki, and Rima looked annoyed. Takuma looked relaxed. Kaname looked flat out stressed. I though about what they would have to endure for the next hour and shuddered.
Yuuki blew the whistle before I was ready. With another battle cry, the girls ran forward, efficiently knocking me over. My back hit the ground hard and I closed my eyes so I could regain my breath. When I opened them Kaname was in front of me, hand outstretched. That was fast.
"Where's Kaname?"
"There he is, by the prefect!"
"How did he get there?"
"He's fast!" Many people in the crowd were saying.
"Are you ok Sumiko?" he asked gentley. I took his hand and he easily pulled me up.
"Hai. Arigato. I only fell. No life threatening situation this- Gah!" Aidou engulfed my waist in another hug without letting me let go of Kaname's grasp, which knocked the wind out of me. Fangirls glared daggers at me.
"Don't be jealous!" Aidou cried flirtatiously into the crowd as he released me. The girls' faces softened into pure worship. "Sumiko is only my sister!"
The crowd was silent. Seriously, for the first time since I had come here, a pin could have been dropped and I would have been able to distinguish it.
"She's your sister?!" Someone yelled. A chain reaction began, while girls began to gossip loudly.
"I. Am. Going. To. Kill. You. While. You. Are. Asleep." I threatened. Aidou looked surprised.
"Why? If I hadn't said anything they would have killed you." He pointed out.
"True, but you could have said that we were just friends or whatever!"
"We're friends now?" Aidou looked hopeful.
"I, um, guess so." I faltered. Why was that so important to him? "Yeah, good friends."
"GREAT friends." He corrected cheerily. Always the kid.
"Yeah, great friends." I was blushing a bit. Kaname still hadn't let go of my hand. Before the fangirls could realize this, I pulled back slowly and smiled.
"You two need to get back to your booths before we all get killed!" I advised. Aidou and Kaname smiled and walked away. The second they sat down again everyone began to cheer and went to deliver their gifts. After a few deafening minutes, the Night class stood up and left. The second they were out of sight, everyone turned to me.
"Idol senpai is your brother?"
"Is he awesome?"
"You have a hot brother." Ew.
"Can you introduce us?"
People bombarded me with questions about Aidou. I mentally reminded myself to murder him and then ran into the school building to hide.
I found a comfortable corner behind a statue and stayed there until I thought everyone was gone. However, the second I walked outside again, someone yelled, "There she is!" I groaned and took off running towards the library. I was pretty fast ands managed to run inside before they could figure out where I was going.
I was panting, and my lungs felt about to burst.
"Did you just finish a marathon?" a husky voice asked. I turned around and was looking at Kain, Aidou, and Kaname.
"Gomen, were you working in here? I can leave…"
"It's fine." Aidou said. He looked concerned. "Why do you look about to die?"
"Thanks to your wonderful announcement, I am being chased by girls who all want to meet my big brother!" I snapped.
"I have to deal with it too!" he protested.
"Yeah, but you don't have to go to class with them EVERY DAY. Or deal with them ALL THE TIME. In the grand scheme of things, you deal with them for about five minutes a day. For me, it's 24/7." I panted. I coughed a bit. I really did sound like I was dying.
"Are you okay?" asked Kaname.
"I just broke the record for world fastest sprint, that's all." I assured him. "I'm fine."
"You look weak." He noted. "Sit down."
"Trust me, all I need to do is catch my breath…" Before I could say anymore, Kaname lightly grabbed my arm and pulled me into a chair. He then turned around and walked through the door.
"I'm fine…" I stated again, to no prevail.
"What are you guys doing in here anyways? Your classes don't start for another hour or something like that."
"Project. Mr. Procrastinator over here forgot." Kain muttered, pointing to Aidou.
"Hey!" Aidou whined.
"Shut it Aidou. We have to write three pages and only have a page of notes." Kain growled. "If we get a bad grade on this, you're dead."
"Maybe I can help. Give me your notes." I snatched to paper. Kaname returned with a glass of water, which I took thankfully. I tasted fantastic against my dying throat.
"Did I miss anything?" he asked, seeing me with the page of notes.
"She says she can make one page three."
"I can." I said. "I know about all this stuff. I can give you more stuff to write aobut, and more details. Grab paper and pen, I sure as heck am not going to repeat it." I warned. Kain and Aidou stared at me then grabbed writing utensils. Kaname only watched, curious.
I quickly rattled off facts about everything they were researching. I then elaborated on what they had already written down.
"Now, if you want to make it even longer, try formatting it like this." I jotted down a quick diagram for each paragraph. Aidou looked at me like I was an angel.
"You are the best sister ever!" he cried and gave me another hug.
"Don't touch me, I am trying not to attack you for ruining my life today." I snapped. "Plus you need to get writing. If you fail this, I am going to kiss your ass a lot more than Kain will." I threatened. The two boys quickly began to write.
"How did you know all that?" I had forgot Kaname was in the room at all.
"When I was a kid and my father was gone, I would hide from my mom is my room. She had scared me, especially if she was drinking or angry." I admitted. "Usually all I would do was read. I know a lot about a lot of stuff."
"Interesting. Why were you hiding from your mother?"
"Personal much?" I asked, but sighed. "I can show you." I pulled up my sleeve to revel a long scar. "That's why."
"Your mother did this to you?" Kaname's voice sounded shocked.
"Yeah." I shrugged. "She never liked me, before I didn't know why, but now I do. I was the child of an affair. I'm actually surprised that she didn't kill me."
"You should have stayed in our family." Whined Aidou.
"Your father would have hated me, Aidou. No one wants to be reminded of being cheated on. Plus, you're all vampires."
"Like we don't know a pureblood." He rolled his eyes, oblivious to how incredibly awkward he was making it. I bit my lip.
Kain seemed to notice my discomfort. "Kaname, any word about Rido?"
"No. A few more were found dead though. His meals are becoming a bit more of a mess than the council can clean up. Some one is bound to notice that mostly all the victims are missing substantial amounts of blood. The bodies are usually mauled too, so the police make it appear as if it was an animal attack. But when are the humans going to realize that there is no animal in the city that could do this, that is the question."
I was shaking. Mauled. Blood loss. Pain. Darkness. That was what my father had gone through.
Mauled. Blood loss.
Pain.
"Sumiko?" Someone was shaking my shoulders. I opened my blurry eyes and saw Aidou staring at me.
"Are you ok? You fell down and began to cry."
"I- I'm not crying." I insisted. My voice broke and my eyes felt wet.
"Yes, you are." Kain said. "What happened?"
"I was thinking."
"About what?" he asked.
"Stuff." I said.
"What kind of stuff?"
"Stuff about my dad okay?" I snapped. "About how everything you were just talking about happened to my dad, and how the killer is out there avoiding getting into trouble, that's what!"
The boys stared at me with pained expressions. I shook my head and ran out of the library. It had gotten dark. I kept running until I felt like I was going to throw up, and collapsed onto the ground, tears streaming down my face. It was raining a bit, but I didn't care, and closed my eyes, welcoming the drops of liquid that pelted my face. I could barely feel anything anyways. I was numb.
So. The bodies were mauled and drained of blood. Well, MOST apparently. Some must have just been killed for the sake of killing. The image of my father's drained, empty body lying in a pool of blood made me cry harder, and soon, darkness closed over me.
(KANAME POV)
Aidou turned to me. "Should we go after her?" he asked. I only looked at the door.
"She should go back to her dorm to avoid the rain. Work on your project, Aidou." I told him. He nodded and went back to writing what his sister had been working on.
That was wrong of me, to pry. I always seem to take it too far with that girl. Why is that? I asked myself. Why do I feel the urge to know everything that happened to her, why she has every scar she does and why she reacts to things? It isn't normal.
"Kaname." Kain's gruff voice interrupted my thoughts a while later. "We've got to get to class now." I nodded. Apparently the rest of the Night class had arrived at some point, but I hadn't noticed.
I was thinking about Sumiko.
"Hai,. Lead the way." The rain had stopped, so we were able to walk outside. The air was a refreshing wet taste, but it was mixed with something else. Another scent that was familiar and very delicious. What was it?
"Kaname!" Takuma's urgent voice cut through the air.
"Yes, Takuma?"
"You should see this!" He ran over to the area where everyone that had been walking ahead of me was gathered. I sense the urgency was great and followed quickly.
What I ofund shocked me.
Sumiko, instead of going to her dorm, had ran outside. She was soaking wet and evident tears were falling down her face, even in her sleep. She was breathing quickly, and her face was red. Aidou looked distressed.
"Is she dead?" he asked. He looked about to cry.
"You can hear she her breathing, Aidou." Snapped Kain. He, too, looked concerned for what state his cousin was in.
I bent down and felt her forhead. It was very hot. "She's asleep with a temperature." I stated. Ruka looked jealous at the attention I was putting towards the unconscious girl, which disgusted me. She will never win my heart. She is too self-centered.
"What should we do?" Aidou demanded, lightly picking up the sleeping girl.
"Give her to me, I will take her to my dorm." I said, surprising even myself. How very out of character for me.
"We can take her to mine." Aidou suggested.
"Not with all that junk in there you can't." Kain muttered quietly.
"It's not junk!" Aiodu protested. Kain rolled his eyes.
"No matter what you call it, there isn't enough room your stuff, much less an actual person. I've been sleeping on the couch for a month because my bed is covered in crap, Kaname." He informed me.
"I will deal with his 'collection' tonight." Aidou looked terrified. He was going to have to throw almost everything away and he knew it.
"Give me the girl." I ordered. Aidou carefully placed the sleeping girl into my arms. She felt nice pressed up against my chest.
"Tell sensei where I am and that I will not be showing up for class today." Takuma nodded and I turned and walked back to my dorm.
(OC POV)
I woke up in a strange bed. My head hurt badly and my hair felt wet. I sat up and looked around in confusion. The room was dark and had rows of books and a chessboard set up. The bed had black sheets.
"You're awake." I turned and saw Kaname staring at me.
"Kaname? What am I doing here?"
"You were found asleep on the ground soaking wet with a fever." He told me, and walked over to the bed I nervously realized was his own.
"Oh. Sorry for stomping out on you in the library, that was rude, and, um, uncalled for." I apologized.
"No, I should be apologizing to you. I went too far. You have a private life which you shouldn't have to share." Kaname told me. He sat down next to me.
" It's fine. I don't mind answering questions, talking always makes me feel better." I admitted.
"Then do you mind answering one more? You don't have to."
"No, it's fine. Ask away, Kaname." I encouraged.
"What were you dreaming about that made you cry?"
Before I knew what was happening, Kaname was inches away from my face, wiping away tears which were apparently rapidly falling down my face.
"Sh, sh, it's ok, Sumiko." He pulled me into his lap. "You don't need to cry, you don't need to answer either."
"N- no, it's fine." I hiccupped. "I- I kept seeing my father lying in a blood of pool, screaming in pain while the rest of his body was gray and lifeless. And the whole time, someone was laughing in the back round. It was terrible." I cried, burying my face deep into Kaname's shirt.
Why am I doing this? Why am I so comfortable with Kaname?
Kaname turned me so that I was facing him. Without warning, he leaned in gently and pressed his soft lips against mine lovingly. I froze in shock, but soon began to kiss him back. Kaname pulled back after a moment.
"Wow." was all I said.
"Agreed. You stopped crying." Kaname pointed out. It was true, my face was only sticky from the salty remains of old tear trails.
"Um, Kaname?"
"Yes?" He was lying next to me ontop of the covers, his hands behind his head.
"You aren't going to turn out to be my other brother or anything are you?" I asked. Kaname laughed and shook his head. "Good, now I can say I had my first kiss."
"Didn't you kiss Aidou?"
"Yeah, but that doesn't count." I protested. "He's my brother."
"Well, I'm not."
"Thank goodness for that!"
