Author's Notes in ()
Instead of simply the angry look to Zero's eyes, there was a black hole of destruction pointed at point blank rage from Seiko's face as well. "You got some nerve, you know th-"
"Planning on a midnight snack were you?" Zero cut in. He hated having to even listen to the sound of a vampire's voice. Much like he hated his own at times.
"Zero!" Yuuki scolded him. But she did however, wonder where Seiko was planning on taking Miho.
"Look who's talking," Seiko replied coolly as he looked from Zero down to Yuuki's bandaged neck. Returning his eyes to Zero he saw a glimpse of surprise and painful regret, but it soon was transformed into hate once again. "You shouldn't worry about Miho. It's not your job to do so. She worries enough for others, including you. Just like Yuuki does. I just can't see why..." he said, whispering his last sentence as he looked down at the girl that lay limply and peacefully in his arms.
Zero realized now how truly similar the two sisters were. But he had to separate them in his mind. He learned from the taste in his mouth that one night at the fountain, that it would be too easy to drag her into things. Luckily, Miho still kept a fair distance from him, and mainly staying next to Yuuki's side. But now this Pureblood...another damn Pureblood, was getting close to Miho. Just like Kaname was with Yuuki. Something he didn't want.
"Please, Seiko-sempai. Continue. I'm sure that you were just going to place her in her room, right?' Yuuki asked with a hopeful look that she was correct. Seeing his sincere yet very sharp nod, she nodded herself in understanding. "Alright. I'll go back to my room, and I'll make sure Zero goes back to his," she said, with Zero's name in a bolder tone as she began to push him towards his dormatory's gates. The two bickered the whole way down. Eventually, Yuuki was sure he was in his room for good and she made her way back to her own. Quietly she changed and got into bed, hoping not to wake Yori-chan, her friend and roomate, from her sleep. Successfully she lied down and fell asleep, knowing that if Seiko had any of the kindness Kaname had, then Miho would be safe.
Gently he laid Miho down on the green couch but, instead of simply walking away, he sat on his heals, his knees on the floor next to her. There was something different about her but it was hard to pin point it. The sleeping Day Class student rolled over onto her side, making him jump a bit as he didn't want to wake her. Noticing she hadn't awakened but merely turned her back to him, and faced the back of the couch, something caught his eye. Being able to see in the dark as if it was daylight itself, there was a suspicious shadowing on the girl's back, but he didn't take it to heart. 'I just need some sleep myself,' he thought, knowing he and Ichijou had been up studing this girl for quite sometime. Layering a blanket ontop of Miho's figure, he exited the room with a whisper of goodnight.
The next morning I wasn't the happiest person in the world. Yuuki and Zero had explained that I had slept like a baby, or in Zero's words, a victim, through the whole thing. Knowing I didn't get a chance to speak with him put me in somewhat of a sour mood. So for the rest of the day, the people who had came up to me the day before wondering why I was so happy, stayed clear of me. Yuuki was the only one brave enough to say anything, even though I had a face that practically said 'ask and you shall receive...a very sarcastic and rude answer'. But then again, she delt with Zero all the time so I must have been a ray of damn sunshine compared to him. Eventually evening decended upon Cross Academy, as did the screams of girls and guys Yuuki, Zero, and I had to block off. Now the contsant 'Kya, kya, kya!' didn't bother me and seemed to just go in one ear and out the other. Unlike the first two weeks, where it would ring in your ears throughout the night and sometimes in your dreams. I mean talk about creepy and annoying. Seeing Ichijou we shared an enthusiastic hello and wave, and upon seeing Seiko I greeted him with a slightly embarrassed smile and meek wave.
Miho was too adorable. That bashful wave along with the clearly embarrassed smile made Seiko chuckle with a small smirk on his lips, and nodded in response.
"Be careful around her. She can unlock wonders that could help the world, or destroy it. If treated right, she could do both," Kuran-sama whispered to Seiko before taking a few steps in front of him to see and greet Yuuki.
His smirk was turned upside down at Kaname's words. "And what do you mean by that? How would she be able to do so?" he asked coming back to his side. But the Dorm Leader didn't say a word. His eyes simply fell on Ichijou before returning straight ahead. Seiko looked at Ichijou with a quizative expression. Maybe there was more about her that Kaname knew, but that Ichijou and himself had to find out. Now, Seiko could probably find out the easy way from Kaname, by Pureblood influence, but where would the fun be in that? At least Cross Academy wouldn't be boring any longer. However, he wasn't sure it would be the most peaceful place on earth either.
More and more days past and things began to stir up around the Academy. There was a new Vampire Hunter named Yagari that arrived. Apparently Zero had, quote, "attacked" Yuuki, although I know that wasn't the correct way of wording it. It was much to harsh. I learned Yagari-sama had trained Zero to be a vampire hunter and he's trying to decide on what to do with Zero. Isn't eavesdropping a wonderful skill? Anyways... I had talked with Yuuki and she worries me, yet at the same time I admire her. She's determined to save Zero and is willing to try anything to help. That kind of determination is something I hope to keep, that's for sure. Now Zero and Yuuki seem to be reflecting on their past a lot. So it's not just me who's still stuck in the never ending loop of memories. 'Maybe Ichijou-sem...no, Takuma-kun, would be in need of company,' I thought. I had already spoken to Seiko and thanked him and had left his room, so while I was still in the Moon dorms, I thought I might as well check on a good friend. Asking directions from Seiko first, I made my way carefully down the hall, a gun strapped to my thigh. Yagari-sama thought it would be good for Zero to keep his mind busy with training me with the kind of weapon Yagari himself had trained Zero-kun with. Mine was like Zero's only the butt-end and grip of the silver gun was a dark blue. Thus I named it Poseidon. I thought I might as well keep up a theme for the names. Now I stood at Ichijou's door, which strangely stood fully open, with a confused and curious look on my face. "Umm...Ta-ku-ma-san?" I asked with my voice rising a bit in pitch on each syllable, a little puzzled and slightly worried as to why he was running back and forth like a mad man. (Yep that's right. That was another chibi moment :) A spazing Ichijou)
