Yori was sitting near the wall; she was looking at the window across her. The window was taller than them. It made sure no could see what was happening outside. But Yori knew better, she knew that outside these walls that sheltered them, lays a great mystery for them.
She sighed. It was past twilight and everyone was whining already. Most of the girls say they wanted to change their clothes, some wanted to sleep on their bed and some wanted to see the night class students. While the guys whined about getting hungry and thirsty, and some wanting some fresh air. The Dorm Presidents were really worried about the students at the same time what was the real reason behind all of these.
Yori looked at the dark sky above them. No stars could be seen, it was as if even the heavens could tell that something is brewing in the grounds of Cross Academy. Yori sighed, she was tired. She wasn't just physically tired but mentally too. She was tired of sitting there and doing nothing while waiting for her best friend, Zero and the Night Class Students return. She was thinking how much long would it take. How much long does she have to worry and wait before she could go outside and see things for herself.
Then Yori felt a presence sat beside her and said, "Are you okay Wakaba-san?" It was the guy who danced with her on the party--the first dance, her classmate and the one who confessed to her.
She nodded. "Yes, I'm fine." She tried to slightly smile.
"I wonder why we are here; I think we're being locked here for a reason." He started the conversation.
"What made you think about that?" Yori asked.
"We've been here for a pretty long time. And the Chairman hasn't return nor does the prefects come back to talk to us. And well the dorm presidents sure doesn't know anything too and well there are those people who are guarding the doors." He said and pointed at the Night Class Students when he said the last sentence. "It's pretty weird don't you think?"
"I guess. Maybe there are stray dogs or wild animals on the loose." Yori said to ease the tension between them. Unfortunately he wasn't swindled on her change of topic and continued his theories.
"It's unnecessary to lock us here just because of that Wakaba-san. My theory is something dangerous is out there." He added and was in deep thought. "Something dangerous that we can't handle… I think they want us to behave like children while something is happening there."
'He's keen on what's happening around us… too keen. He figured out this much by his own speculation. But he's right they're keeping us here because there are dangerous beings out there… vampires to be exact and something much more than that… Now, it makes me wanna worry more about Yuuki and Kiryu-kun.' Yori thought.
The guy beside Yori looked at her. "Do you think my theories are right, Wakaba-san?" He asked. "My father is a detective so he thought me to be observant of my surroundings."
"I see." Yori answered shortly. "Do you wanna be like him?"
"Yeah, he's my role model, ever since I was little." He answered.
"That's nice. You must admire a lot." Yori tried to keep talking like she's interested in whatever he's saying but her mind kept wondering about what was happening outside. 'Yuuki…'
"Yeah, I did." He laughed a little and seemed happy to know she's interested on their topic. "You're from London right? So do you know the great detective who lived there?"
"Sherlock Homes." She answered. 'Typical, who wouldn't know him?' Yori thought as she answered his question. 'It's too obvious, he's hitting on me.'
"Yeah, you like him huh? I saw you in the library once, on the mystery section and you were reading a book. I was passing by and I thought you liked Sherlock Homes. What were you reading back then?"
'Vampires. That was when I first encountered Aidou-sempai face to face.' Yori thought. "The mystery of the missing link." 'Wrong answer Yori.' She said to herself.
"The Yeti?" He looked confused and then laughed. "I didn't know you had a sense of humor."
'That wasn't… a joke.' Yori thought.
"But anyway, I also notice one thing here in Cross Academy." He opened a new topic.
'Tell me something I don't know for once.' Yori thought. "And that would be?"
"There's a room that's always locked, it's located inside this building. I wanted to see what's inside and always trying to open it but then the prefects always spot me. So if you like, wanna come with me and look what's behind that door?" He asked.
'Locked door? Prefects… Something Yuuki and Kiryu-kun don't want anyone to find out… it must be about that.' Yori thought as she finds the answer in herself. The obedient child battled with her will to help Yuuki and the others.
The guy looked at Yori and waited for her answer. He took it as a no. "It's okay if you don't like to—"
Yori stood up. 'Sorry Dad, but this is for Yuuki.' "I'll go with you." She said and looked at him. She was determined to help Yuuki whatever it takes even disobeying rules and regulations.
"Ok." He said and told the dorm leaders that they were going to go to the bathroom. The dorm leaders pasted confusion since he was a guy accompanying a girl. But since it was Sayori Wakaba, an ace student… they expected they were telling the truth and let them pass. Her classmate was impressed that they were able to escape the inquiry of the dorm leaders.
"As expected, they really trust you, Wakaba-san." He said and tried to compliment her.
She didn't reply to what he said and continued walking. They got to the said room and unlike what he said it was unlock. Yori let the guy in first.
'Like my father always said, you could never be too careful with guys.' Her classmate agreed and went in first.
The room was covered with white old cloths. There were closets and boxes everywhere. She went closer to a box and opened it while he searched one shelf and took a book.
'He was obviously telling the truth.' Yori thought as she looked at the weapons on the box. 'These I suppose help fight against vampires.' She looked searched the box for a weapon she would use. 'Something easy to use I think, like what Yuuki always carry.' Yori thought.
"Wakaba-san?" Her classmate asked her as he was reading a book. "Hey, do you think these are Chairman Cross's belongings?"
"Maybe. He does own the school you know." She said and continued searching.
"So this is his diary then, woow… hey Wakaba-san listen to this… I have to hunt down a woman that I was ordered to kill. I intended to kill her but when I did, I stopped. She was beautiful and no human could ever equal to hers. She had long brownish black hair. In her arms lay a child, a child I too was supposed to kill. But I never had the chance. She stopped me and yet didn't kill me, I asked her why and all she said was, 'I have no intention of killing a person whom I have just met, and I think we are the same. I think we both have no choices to choose from and let the cruel fate bound us to our destinies.' She looked sad and said, 'I will not end your life but in return please build a school that my children could be happy and learn. I don't want them to live a cruel fate like ours. I want a better future for them.' With those words she left me lying on the cold street and on that same day I threw who I really am and lived a new life. A life I intended to live for her impossible wish. Woow… Chairman was a pretty romantic person, but what was his job before? Was he a hunter or a cop?" He said.
'A hunter… a vampire hunter. Here… I found some weapons to use.' Yori thought as she picked a small gun. 'Although I don't know how to use a gun. I don't know what else I could use to help them but this.' She took some bullet case. She stood up.
"Wakaba-san?" Her classmate looked at her. "Hey I think we should go back, we may get caught.—"
"You're already caught." A voice said to them. It was Chairman Cross. Although he was different from his normal self, he wasn't wearing his small round glasses and he had his hair down.
"Chairman!" Her classmate said. "We were lost." He tried to return the book he was just reading.
"Please leave." Chairman Cross said and her classmate followed. He turn back to let Yori join him when the Chairman said, "except you Miss Wakaba." Her classmate left her behind. "How long have you known?"
"For a while." Yori replied.
"You didn't tell anyone? Not even Yuuki?"
"I don't think Yuuki would like the idea of me knowing anything. Besides I don't think anyone wants to know too whatever was happening here. Or do you want them to know?"
"I'm amazed you found out these things by yourself and without anyone's help…" Chairman Cross sighed and looked at me. "Do you know how to use a gun?"
"Actually no, But it's better than having nothing to carry around… for now." She added the last 2 words to assure him she was going to use them for the moment.
He shook his head, "My adopted daughter has obviously spread her hard headedness on you. I suppose I could not persuade you to just sit down knowing you know about the current situation."
"Perhaps not…at this moment." She answered his second sentence. She knew he could but not now. She was relieved but then again she was worried he may erase whatever she knows when this was over. "You could… but not now, can you?"
He slightly smirked and went near a rectangle box that stood. "Maybe, maybe not… That depends on a person, Miss Wakaba. Yuuki trust you and really treasures you as much as Zero-kun and Kaname-kun. She doesn't want you to be involved in this mess but… you wouldn't want that do you?"
"No. I don't want Yuuki to suffer alone… She changed into something different than the one I knew back then but… I also recognize her deep down; she's still the girl I met on the first day of class here on Cross Academy." She looked without her eyes wavering at Chairman Cross. "I maybe not strong and cheerful as her but I want to help in a way."
"I know, and I trust you too. Yuuki has never made a mistake on which she can trust. And you may be wrong Miss Wakaba." He took out something out of the box that was covered with white sheet. "You're not as weak as you think. Inside you lay a greater strength; a strength that keeps you going and telling you to follow your instincts."
"And what would that be Chairman Cross?" Yori asked him.
He lay out the thing he took out of the box. "It's something you have to find out yourself, Wakaba-san. You may find it sooner than you expected." He said and gave the weapon to her. "For now I hope this weapon will lead you the way… her name is Asteria. It's similar to Yuuki's except for some variation."
Yori took the weapon from Chairman Cross and do away with cloth. It was cleary like Yuuki's Artemis, although it was colored hazel* and had some ingenious engravings on it. She noticed one engraving on it, it was a star. "Asteria*… a Greek name for star." Yori said.
Chairman Cross nodded. "Yes Miss Wakaba. I see you know your history subject, press it."
Yori pressed the star and it went longer. "Notice the two small circles on each side of the star? Press it at the same time." Chairman Cross instructed and Yori followed. The long staff turned to a three-section-staff.
"Sansetsukon…?" Yori said.
"Yeah, its whole name is Asteria Sansetsukon… this will be your own star light Sayori Wakaba."
Yori looked at the weapon on her hand. She tried the buttons again and looked at how it transforms. Then she pushed the star and it returned to a short stick like Artemis. "How did you know I know how to use a nunchaku*?"
"Your mother told me… accidentally when we first met and she was pretty devastated that your father enrolled in you in learning that." He said and smiled.
"I was 7 then, my dad told me it was well… for self defense." She said to Chairman Cross. Then she looked at him. "Aren't you gonna ask how I found out?"
He looked at Yori and gave her a container for Asteria. "Like I told you, I know who we can trust and not. Do you understand Miss Wakaba?" He flashed her a gentle smile. Yori was about to return the gun when he said, "Keep it. Stargazer Leto* appears to guide you too, although I might not approve on using her most of the times."
"Chairman Cross I…"
He put a hand in front of her and denoted she shouldn't say anymore words. He handed out a badge; it was like Yuuki's. "Starting from now, you make your own path Yori-chan and no one else's" Then he accompanied her out of the room and locked it when they got out.
Yori put the Asteria on her container and put it on her right thigh. She also put Leto on her belt which the chairman also gave her along with the bullets. She put the badge on her right arm and pinned it. She breathed deeply and closed her eyes. 'You can do this Yori. You wanna help Yuuki don't you? It's gonna be alright Yori. Believe in yourself.' She touched Asteria and then Leto, 'Guide me my stars… the wills of fate has started to turn… Show me and give me strength…'
Chairman Cross left her and told her to go out when she was ready. She took a step and walked through the corridor and then to the hall. Everyone was surprised to see her; the guy who accompanied her was too. He tried to ask what happen when he saw the prefect badge. The dorm leaders asked why she had a badge.
"Chairman Cross acknowledged me and made me a prefect. I'll check out what's happening outside so please don't panic. Please follow whatever the given orders to the dorm leaders." She gave a gentle smile. "I'll come back shortly, kindly stay here for the being." She walked pass through the people guarding the doors. They nodded and opened the door. Yori heard whispers and voices but she couldn't heed whatever they were saying and continued walking.
Unlike the warm and cozy atmosphere inside the hall, outside the hall was cold and frigid. Yori embraced herself and walked. She could feel the hostile aura surrounding Cross Academy more. She run and went to the center building.
'Surely Yuuki would be there.' Yori thought as she run. She was far from the hall when she stopped. She heard some noise, she kept her senses keen and then she saw them… the enemies.
'Ok Yori. It's time. To show them what you got.' Yori thought as she held Asteria close and stare at her opponents.
