Standing before Naomi was the large gates of Cross Academy. The school she had been forced to attend, to get a proper education and get an inside look on what Kaien was trying to accomplish. Was it going well? Or was it slowly crashing and burning? Naomi wouldn't know till she were to see it with her own eyes. Pulling her arm out from underneath her cloak, she looked down at her watch and it read 9:30pm. This was the time that the Night Class had been in session. With some luck, she wouldn't run into any of them while trying to get her way to the headmaster's place.
The Huntress's gaze lifted back towards the gate and slowly inspected what was here. It was a large wall, made of stone, yet tall. If anything, it looked like a castle entrance, especially with the iron bars that blocked her way into the Academy grounds. Though the hooded figure that sat next to it caught her eye. Naomi could only assume that he -or she- was there to keep anyone out who weren't permitted to enter. Knowing that she was someone that could enter, she approached the hooded figure. Parting her lips, she spoke "Good evening. I'm Naomi Kaziyama, I was sent here by Hanako Hiroshi." lifting her hand to her own hood, she pulled it down, revealing her Aqua blue eyes and her long jet black hair. The cloak she had wore was pure black, aside from the golden button which held her cloak shut.
The figure looked up at her and gave her a brief nod and spoke "You're permitted to enter. Go on ahead." he went and opened up the gate for her, knowing that she was one of the Legendary 12. One of the youngest in fact. "The headmaster is waiting for you in his office. He knew you would be arriving tonight." Stepping out of the way, he allowed Naomi to walk by.
Naomi slipped her hood back on and nodded "Thank you." and with that, she walked by the hooded figure, the gate closing behind her in the process. Kaien sure likes to have his security. That's a good call... That man earlier...He was a hunter as well. I could tell just by his posture when he stood. She thought to herself, approaching the main building by following the path before her. From her angle, there was no way to see the Sun and Moon dorms from where she was, so she would just have to check it out later. Though, lucky for her, she was able to go through some blueprints of the school back at the Hunters Association and figure out every nook and cranny that was in this school. It looks a lot better than I had thought. Regardless, that doesn't change my feelings for what Cross is trying to do here. In her gut, she felt the presence of Vampires, but that was to be expected with a school that actually had them. Naomi hated this feeling and she just wanted it to stop.
Coming to a stop, she looked up towards where she assumed Kaien's office was and spotted a Silver-haired boy who was all-too familiar to her. "Zero Kiryu." the name that left her lips was the man she read about. The man who lost his parents and his twin brother in a similar way that she had lost her own parents. Bringing her eyes back down, she walked up to the doors of the large building and slipped inside. The Huntress turned quickly as she heard something outside while the door began to shut and her eyes narrowed.
Her eyes moved to look towards the corner of them, knowing someone...something was behind her. With swift movements, she dropped her bag, pulled out her Bloody Thorn and turned to point her pistol right at the Person's head. She realised this person...No… this thing...
"I'm not going to hurt you, Naomi." his voice had been calm, yet soft. No hint of fear as if he had nothing to fear.
Was Kaname Kuran. "Kuran, didn't think you'd be inside this building." Naomi said coldly, venom almost seeming to drip off her words. The hate for Vampires began to burn like a wildfire in her soul, being up and close with a Pureblood had ignited what she had at a low flame.
"I do have classes too, Naomi…" Kaname replied "Now, please put that Bloody Thorn away… It threatens me greatly."
"I'll put it away when I feel like it, Vampire." she retorted, slowly leaning down and grabbing her bag before beginning to back from him, moving away from Kaname and moving towards Kaien's office. Luckily, it didn't take her long to finally get the vampire out of her sight.
Despite Kaname being this so-called "Prince" she didn't respect him like others did. He didn't deserve her respect in any way, shape, or form. Respect was given to those who deserve it. Such as her Legendary companions -Who were also older than her, so respect your elders!- and those who took care of her. As she walked, her boots echoed within the hall. Making it seem like she had been walking harder than intended when meanwhile it had been the wooden floors over exaggerating her steps.
Getting closer and closer to the office, her steps had come to a halt, hearing two male voices from within the door. One that sounded like Cross's but the other she couldn't put a finger on it. That was mainly because it had been a Silver-haired boy she learned about and never heard his voice. Moving her feet once again, she moved to the door and knocked before entering. Revealing both Kaien and Zero who seemed to be waiting for the Huntress's arrival. Placing down her bag, she took both her hands and slipped her hood off, finally revealing her face to both hunters. Her face: Expressionless. Though most people would assume she was bored, that was not the case, however.
Zero said nothing while Kaien spoke "Welcome, Naomi. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." he gave her a brief nod and a soft smile.
Naomi gave a nod in return "It's nice to meet you too, Cross." even though he had known who she was, he only saw her once and that was when she had been taken into the Hunter's association.
"You know, I haven't seen you since you were taken in by Hanako after what happened. I'm sorry you had to go throu-"
Naomi's hand had lifted to cut him off "Do not talk about my past. It's something I don't want to dwell on. I've had enough apologies in my lifetime."
Kaien, however, decided it would be a good idea to go into his goofy nature "Why do you have to be so mean, Naomi?! I was only giving my regards!"
Both Naomi and Zero did not look happy, they were more or less annoyed. At this point, Naomi wanted to throw something at him, maybe slap him upside the head. Though Kaien seemed to drop the act and grab some papers before handing them to her. Looking down, she began to read what had been printed on them. One of which had been Rules. But rather than just Day class Rules, she got Night class rules as well. Rules… Do's and don't's… He really is taking this headmaster thing seriously. Looking through every page, she grabbed a pen and signed where she had meant to, also signing up for the Disciplinary committee in the process. Placing these papers on his desk, he in turn had given her a uniform. From the looks of it, Naomi already hated the style but if this is what she had to do just to be part of the school, she'd do it. Though, the one thing she liked about it, is that the base color had been black.
"Zero, could you please show Naomi to her dorm that I have set up for her?" he then shifted his eyes towards Naomi "I want you to keep your weapons on you at all times. Just as you always do. Just don't let anyone see your weapons. Also, you're lucky, no roommate, yet. So you're free to do what you want in your room." hopefully Naomi would be comfortable on her own for a while.
Entering the Female Day Class dorms at about 10pm wasn't really a good idea, considering that everyone was sleeping and Naomi had boots that made loud noises on the hardwood flooring. The Huntress released a sigh "There really needs to be carpet, this is the most annoying thing I've encountered." she muttered, only to have Zero look back at her with a glare of some sort. "Don't give me that damn look." she snapped.
Zero only narrowed his eyes "Stop complaining and I won't have to." he shot back "No one told you to wear those to a school." he glanced at her boots for a moment "Shouldn't you be stealthy anyway? After all, you are this so-called "Legendary" Huntress."
The Huntress glared at him and gritted her teeth "You have no reason to care about what I wear. You also have no reason to talk about my title. You will never know what I did just to get to this rank." Looking off to the side, Naomi let out a light huff and soon slammed right into Zero's back "Hey! Watch i-"
Raising his eyebrow, Zero turned slightly and looked down at Naomi "Watch where you're going." with that said, he pulled a key from his pocket and slipped it into the door, -That Naomi somehow didn't see- only to turn the key and then the knob to push the door open and allow Naomi to step in first. Zero didn't enter, but he did lean against the frame of her door with her uniform in hand, watching as she walked in and placed her bag on the top of her bed.
The room is decent. Not too fancy. Perfect for me...For the time being before I get a Roommate. Glancing over at Zero, she noticed he seemed pretty… Annoyed? Or was he Jealous? He's jealous of my title, isn't he? It was a possibility. Taking off her cloak, she revealed her weapons on her person, a stake which was sitting next to her pistol. Bloody Rose had caught Zero's attention and he walked over towards her, gaining the Huntresses attention. Raising her eyebrow, she watched from the corner of her eye on what he'd do. He began to reach for her pistol, to which she reacted by pulling her pistol from the holster and pointing it at his head "Don't touch my weapons, Kiryu."
Zero instantly backed off and Naomi slipped the gun back into her holster. "How do you know my name?" he asked.
"I'm a Legendary. I know everything about you, who your family was, who you are, everything." placing her cloak down on the bed, she crossed her arms and turned fully towards Zero. He didn't seem too happy.
A growl escaped his lips "Don't mention my family again." with that said, he tossed her uniform on her bed and walked out, clearly angry that Naomi had learned literally everything about him. Even his family. He never spoke about his family but yet the Association allowed hunters to view his profile whenever.
A grin slowly made its way onto Naomi's lips And this is how to get rid of Zero for the entire night. "Even though he hates me being around, he's going to learn to deal with it." the grin on her face slowly vanished and left her with her blank expression once more. Her Aqua eyes glanced at the uniform, catching sight of a band around the left sleeve. This was the Disciplinary Committee band. One of which she was a part of. That was right...She signed up for it as soon as Cross handed her those papers. Now she had no choice but to watch out for the Vampires and protect the humans...Great. She began to unpack, putting items away in a small dresser made for her side of the room.
But she stopped when the sound of her window opening filled her ears, causing her to reach for her gun but be embraced by strong arms which followed by a soft and gentle voice. A voice that no one could ever forget whose it was.
"Kaname." she said, words laced with hate.
"You've guessed Correctly." just as he went to lean down, she brought her head forward and slammed it back, hitting the vampire right in the head and having him release her, stumbling back as he placed his hand over his nose, even checking to see if he had been bleeding.
"Naomi pulled out her pistol and pointed it directly at Kaname "I don't care if you're a pureblood or not, I will put a bullet right through your forehead."
Kaname licked his lip and tasted his own blood. Naomi indeed made him split his lip. "You know very well what would happen if you did that."
"Quite frankly, I don't care." she replied.
"You are as strong as they say… I'm impressed." Kaname said as he backed off towards the window "I apologise for being so forward, Naomi." he placed his hand over his heart and bowed slightly "And I apologize for entering your room without your permission…I will take my leave" with that he left, leaving Naomi on guard even long after he left.
She clenched the grip of her gun and gritted her teeth Next time I'll put a bullet in him. The fact that he broke into my room by a window and not my door is something awfully suspicious. He embraced me in a way that seemed like we were friends. Turning back to her dresser, she put her pistol down and slammed her hands against the surface of the dresser "I will find out what damn game you're playing, Vampire. When I do, I will end you." her hands clenched into fists on top of her dresser before she pushed herself away from it and hopped onto her bed. The Black-haired girl laid back and stared at the ceiling, not able to stop herself from diving back into the past. Something that she said to Kaien that she didn't dwell on it…
