Chapter 28

Inita worked silently, finally at peace now that Sasuke was back at school. She turned briefly to check on him.

His head was on the desk, his eyes closed as if in thought; calm as he slept. She smiled. His fatigue must be due to the sun draining his energy.

She allowed her eyes to linger on him for a moment. Her mother had told her that; and it made sense now that she saw Sasuke going through that. Vampires, she said, lost their energy if they stayed out in the sun too long, especially ex-humans.

"Miss. Uniqua, are you alright?"

"Yes…I'm fine, sensei." She nodded, taking her pen off the desk and writing notes.


Meanwhile, the Yamato twins stared at the passing moon dormers in their usual, pleasant way.

"Good morning, Deidara-sama." Savila waved daintily, "May we have a word with you?"

"Savila-san?" he shrugged, "I'd love to but I'm kind of busy right now."

"That's ok. We only wished to inform you that we will be gone for three days." Sasia replied.

"Please take care of our rooms." They chorused.

"Where are you going?"

"Family issues have come up."

"Please ask Yuki-sempai to forgive our absence."

With that, the two girls bowed and walked away, gathering small bags at the door and walking out hastily.

Deidara stared after them, slightly confused. Slowly he headed towards Yuki's room to announce their departure.

"They're leaving?" He asked, aimlessly. "Hmmm…See where they're headed to."

"Why me?"

"They told you they were leaving, so they trust you, right?"

Deidara frowned, but decided to follow. Once he had left, Yuki smirked.

"And if they kill you, that's one less person in my way."


Sasia nodded as they walked past two girls entering the school.

"Excuse me." One murmured. "Where is the sun dorm?"

"That way." The twins pointed out to the girls with light brown hair. They too seemed to be twins.

"Thank you, sempais."

Deidara stood by the gate for awhile until the new girls left and confronted the Yamato girls. "You must really want to fool me. I know those girls were an illusion you two created."

"You always were the smartest guy we knew." Savila nodded.

"But not smart enough." Sasia sighed. "You let Yuki use you to find out about us? Really now?"

"What? He is a pureblood you know."

"However, he's not the only one. Can you keep a secret?" Savila smiled, "From everyone? Especially Yuki, Sasuke and Inita?"

"Sure I can. As far as I'm concerned, Yuki can go die. I don't talk to Sasuke often if at all. Inita…I'll do my best to keep it from her."

"Good." The twins remarked, ecstatic.

There was a flash, and suddenly they stood ankle deep in snow, in a place that definitely wasn't the academy.

"How did we…?" He turned to the two girls. There was something different about them now.

Before they had been 'normal' nobles, but now, their true power no longer masked, they had a proud air about them.

"Do you know who we are, Deidara?"

"You must be…Part of the most prominent pureblood clan."

"One of the most prominent clans. Do you know what happened to the other clans?"

"There are the Aikatos."

"Yes?"

"There were two that just disappeared into thin air. Their names were never spoken again. One clan leader started the Vampire Council."

"The heir of that clan goes to our school. Would you like to see him?" They pointed towards a mirror that would show the current state of the academy.

"Yea."

"Show us," they chorused, "Uzumaki Naruto."

As he appeared on the screen, Deidara stared in disbelief. "He's in the sun dorm. That means he's…human?"

"Don't let his appearance fool you. He is a pureblood. However, his clan has perfected the art of becoming completely human at will."

"What about the other clan? Are you part of that one?"

"We are part of that clan who can also become human at will... For the most part anyway. We are half siblings of the true heir. Uzumaki-san has agreed to help us resurrect him."

"Then, can you appear completely human?"

"Only for short periods of time. A week for example." Sasia said.

"At the end of that period, we will be exhausted. The best we can do for any extended period is become nobles."

"What does all this have to do with Inita? Or Sasuke?"

"All shall be revealed in time. For now we will take the form of the projections we used to attempt to distract you and take you back to the academy."

Moments later he awoke to find himself under a tree.

"Was that just a dream?" he asked himself, only to spot the human form of the Yamato twins eyeing him. "No way."
