Vampire Knight Destiny
(Continued from Guilty 13...)
The ball was over in only a few hours, Ayumei and Shima talked and laughed while the other Cross Academy students danced and socialized on the ball room floor. The ball went as planned, no unplanned interruptions no one broke any rules or crossed any lines, the hunters, or hunter overseeing the event had nothing to do but watch.
"Did we talk the whole time" Shima asked, hearing the music stop.
"I believe so" Ayumei said peering out onto the dance floor.
The two walked with the crowd, behind everyone else,
"I got to dance with Takuma twice" one girl bragged
"Lucky!" another replied.
"I'm sorry you had to spend the entire time entertaining me rather than dancing." Ayumei said, walking out in the cool night air.
"It's alright, I didn't have anyone I wanted to dance with anyway." Shima said, "Isn't it kind of cool out here, didn't you bring a jacket?" Shima asked.
"Oh, right" Ayumei said turning around, "Wait for me okay." the red-head walked back to the balcony, bumping into zero, "I'm sorry" she said looking up at him. She noticed he was holding her jacket in his hand, "I came back to get this" she said pointing to her jacket, "thank you" she said as he handed it to her.

She tried her best to keep a strait face and calm exterior while she walked over to Shima, /"I won't say a word"/ she thought to herself.
"Did you get your jacket?" asked Shima
"Yes, it's right here" Ayumei said in response. The red head put on her jacket as she walked back to the dorm with Shima. She looked around for Zero, hoping to find some explanation for what just happened. She went over it in her mind, /"Was he joking?"/ was the first thing that came to mind, followed by thoughts that made him sound narcissistic /"Maybe he's saying that because he thinks that I want him to think that way about me"/ or something along the lines of / "Or he could just be saying that out of kindness, maybe he felt that since no one danced with me tonight that I was feeling down, that might be his way of trying to comfort me…"/ her over examination of those seven words was interrupted by Shima, finally taking notice of all the attention she wasn't paying to the things she said, or to anything else. "Ayumei, did you even hear anything I said?" she asked with an annoyed tone of voice, and waving her hand over the face of the dazed
