[Memories]

Naomi's body felt like it was floating, but it wasn't... She was laying on tall grass, alone. A beautiful tree shielded her from the burning sun as the wind blew fresh air as her hair gently blew with it.

Naomi smiled in peace.

"Why isn't she waking up?" a familiar voice rung above the clouds, "He did something to her."

Another voice chirped in, "Kaname wouldn't. He just found her unconscious."

She stretched her arms out feeling the soft grass underneath her. It felt like clouds. She hummed, happily and closed her eyes for only a second ignoring the voices coming from above.

"Mm~"

Naomi breathes in as her eyes flutter open. She saw white walls and Zero, and Yuki hovering over her.

A dream. It was a dream.

Yuki beamed at her, "I'm so glad you're awake."

Zero only sighed in relief.

It was a dream! Naomi smiled at Yuki with the same joy, He's gone, He's gone, He's gone!

Zero stared at her as if she had grown two heads while Yuki was just happy Naomi didn't look at her with her usual disinterest.

Her joy, however, was short lived as it raised the question: Why is he gone? All that talk about keeping me for himself and now he's just gone.

Naomi racked her brain, Maybe he died?

Hopefully.

Doubtful.

I'm missing something, but what is it?

"Are you alright?" Zero asked as he rested his hand on her forehead, "Kuran found you passed outside of the Sun dorms, what happened?"

Naomi blinked owlishly at him, "What do you mean?"

I don't remember passing out.

Zero narrowed his eyes, "You don't remember?" His hand fell back down to his side.

Yuki frowned, "Maybe, you hit your head when you fell unconscious." she suggested, "What do you remember?"

"I remember...," Naomi rubbed her eyes, "training with Yagari, and he told about the day class student being bitten, and then Kaname asked me for help."

Probably, shouldn't tell them about the other part...

"What kind of help?" Zero asked with disapproval laced in his voice.

Definitely not.

Naomi sighed, "With the Night class student who bit into... what was her name...?" She thought for a second and then, "Nanami."

Yuki raised an eyebrow in surprise, "And you said, yes?"

"You say that with such a discouraging amount of surprise, Yuki." Naomi stretched her arms up, "Yes, I agreed to help."

"I just thought you didn't like him, is all." Yuki mumbled.

Is that jealousy, I detect?

"I don't."

Zero watched her carefully, "Then?"

Naomi huffed as she pushed the covers off her, "Then, we caught him."

And about Shizuka but I'm going to keep that to myself.

Yuki rested a hand on Naomi's back, "I think you should rest."

Naomi grabbed her shoes and slipped them on, "I feel fine."

I'm so tired.

Why am I tired? I just woke up.

Zero stood up and blocked her from getting off the bed, "What happened after?"

She tied the laces, "I-"

Blank. Nothing came up.

What did happen, after?

I don't remember.

"It doesn't matter, now get out of my way." Naomi said as she pushed him off her way which would've been nice if it had actually worked.

Zero was immovable as he stared at her and continued: "So you don't remember what happened after?"

Naomi's mouth became dry, but she scoffed in defiance, "I do remember." Her mouth moved on its own, "I didn't realize, I have to tell you everything."

Why am I lying?

Zero looked down at you, not with a glare but with a look that said, 'I don't believe you.' Naomi, on the other hand, glared, if only a look could make him move out of the way.

Yuki stared at both them, she never seen two so alike, yet so different at the same time. She decided to break the silence when she saw a familiar blond vampire peak his head over the doorframe.

"Aidou!" She exclaimed.

Naomi switched her gaze towards him. An itch began to pick at her brain, almost like something was missing.

Aidou smiled nervously when his eyes finally met Naomi's. His whole body was screaming, awkward. No, not awkward, perhaps, fear? Or was it just nerves?

"Naomi, I heard you were in the infirmary," Aidou scratched the back of his head, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Naomi racked her eyes up and down, "What's wrong with you?"

Aidou's eyes flew open, he looked like he got caught, "Me?! Nothing's wrong with me!"

Naomi rolled her eyes, "Whatever, I don't have time for this."

This time no one got in her way when she made her way out of the infirmary. She slid her hand down the railing of the stairs as she made her way down. Her legs felt heavy as each step down became slower.

Why can't I remember what happened after he told me about Shizuka? And why is the body snatcher suddenly gone?

Naomi ran her hand through her hair, she had this awful feeling... like she was forgetting something.

Something's wrong.

She yawned.

Something is horribly wrong.

She snapped her head when she heard footsteps coming towards her.

Light and flighty.

Yuki had a smile adorning her features.

"Hey," She said, "Yori and I are going shopping later today. I was wondering if you would like to join us?"

Naomi blinked in surprise, "I'm not supposed to leave the academy's grounds, remember?"

Yuki frowned, "Right... I forgot about that."

Is she actually disappointed that I said no? Then she thought, What's the worse that could happen?

You could die!

Right, that...

Naomi grinned with mischief shinning in her eyes, "But, I was never one to follow the rules."

Yuki's eyes widen, "You can't! They'll you know..." She brought her finger across her throat.

"What's life without a little danger?" Naomi scoffed.

"It's not a little danger, it's death!"

"Tomato, tomato."

Yuki stood with her mouth wide open, "Absolutely not, I'll tell the chairman."

Then, he'll tell Tanaka.

"You're no fun." Naomi twirled on her heel and began walking out of the building.

"Where are you going?!" Yuki ran towards her.

Naomi laughed, "Calm down, I'm going to my dorm."

Yuki sighed as relief washed over her.

"Maybe."

"Huh?!"

"I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" Naomi chuckled, "I don't feel like getting executed by a cult of vampires."

"I- I'm going to walk you back." Yuki said.

"Have a little faith," was the last thing Naomi said to her before running off to the Sun dorms.

When she pushed open the double doors her open, she let herself slide towards the ground.

The feeling of dread returned.

Shizuka, and then...?

Nothing! Why can't I remember?!

What is it? What is it? What is it?!

Her eyes began to flutter, why was she so tired?

"Just for a second..." Naomi whispered.

The door opened behind her, but she didn't move out of the way. She was far too tired to care.

"Who?" She heard a voice come up behind her, "Naomi, are you oka-"

Whoever it was Naomi, didn't see. Her eyes had closed shut and their voice was drowned out by others.

"And if it weren't for the fact that you found out night class secret three weeks ago, I would've had your mind erased," Cross said.

"There's been holes in my memory lately," Nanami had said.
