Mágoa

A heartbreaking feeling that leaves long-lasting traces, visible in gestures and facial expressions.


Aido rummaged through his bag in frustration his last class had recently finished inwardly cursed before standing blonde realized that he had managed to leave his English book in the hunter's room. Kain looked at him curiously.

"I must have forgotten my book back at... erm...the d-dorm rooms." The blonde mumbled.

Akatsuki sighed in exasperation before returning to his own book. Aido as he stalked back to his dorm room. The room returned to quiet Rima who was sitting by the window glanced out noticing he was headed in the opposite direction of the Moon Dorms.

Poking Maria in the side she grinned, tilting her head to the side in a silent, 'should we?'. When the pale girl nodded in her consent Rima gave a grin before they both silently slipped out of the room.

Kaname watched them go in interest before he was distracted by Yuuki's insistent tugging on his sleeve, tiredly he waved his hand towards his vice president before turning back towards his sister. Takuma made a move to follow them but was quickly stopped by Shiki pulling him back into his seat and using his lap as a pillow humming in contentment. Behind them, Ruka gave a short nod before disappearing after the three.

Rima and Maria trailed behind the blonde curiously, "He's not going to the moon dorms." The shyer girl mumbled.

"No, he isn't… It's almost like he's looking for someone in the Day Class." Rima whispered.

"...Kiryuu-san?" Maria suggested.

Rima laughed the thought, "Nah… no way. Aido wouldn't be stupid enough to mess with Kiryuu." She paused looking at her friend slightly startled, "Would he?" She asked nervously.

The duo followed Hanabusa up until the moment he walked into the day class dorm room and it didn't take a genius to realize who's room it was. They bolted into the room slamming open the door.

Aido jumped, eyes widened in shock, "What are you two doing here?" He asked cautiously.

"You idiot! I can't believe you were trying to break into Kiryuu's room!" Rima yelled eyes wide as she tried to shove the blonde out of the room.

Maria stood by the bedroom door, shifting back and forth nervously.

Aido blinked at the accusation, "I wasn't–"

"I don't care! Let's get out of here before he finds us." The female model whisper-yelled grabbing the taller vampire's hand and attempting to drag him out.

"Before who finds you?"

"Kiryuu! Haven't you been–" The words died on Rima's lips as the owner of the room stood in the doorway with his arms crossed, Ruka standing a few feet behind him.

Zero's eye twitched, slamming his palm into his head, "Not again. No more vampires. No more." He hissed through half-lidded lavender eyes.


Nearby the night dorms, a day class girl grinned to herself. She had light brown, almost blonde hair braided into two pigtails and held up by clips, thin grey framed glasses captured dark blue eyes, Nadeshiko Shindo was an average day class student.

The brunette was normally shy but tended to have moments of daring where she was one of the bravest girls in the school. Especially when she wanted something.

Nadeshiko would constantly attend the class crossovers along with many of her other friends, often leaving a certain silverette with the impression she was nothing more than a silly, ditsy fangirl enamored with the rest of the night class like any other day class students that tended to scream in Zero's ear.

Admittedly Nadeshiko harbored a major crush on the silver-haired hunter after he had saved her from a rather nasty fall during one of her attempts to find a night class member.

The only reason why she still attended crossover was that her friends dragged her along and she was only sneaking out to prove that her theory was correct.

'I'm brilliant!' Shindo thought, grinning slightly, 'Instead of seeing the Night Class when they are in class or in crossover all I have to do was see them when they had a break!'

After all the Night Class crossover didn't make much sense, once in early morning and once at evening. Which, would mean that they spent twelve hours in the school building. Since the class was around eight hours that meant the night class spent at least three doing whatever they wished until it was time to return to the moon dorms.

Stepping quietly and wearily glancing around to make sure that the feared silver-haired prefect wasn't in her near vicinity she made her way through the silent moonlit grounds. Her long braided hair was arranged perfectly so when she finally met with one of the night class members she would keep their attention. Hopefully, she would meet one of the guys but hey, it could be one of the girls, she wasn't that picky.

With a beaming grin, she made her way towards the schoolyard, taking cautious glances around. There was a flicker of movement caught her attention.

She grinned as she spotted Ruka before she could approach them Shindo noticed that she was headed towards the Day Class Boy's dorm.

Then she spotted Zero.

The silver hair was illuminated underneath the moonlight. He had walked out of the forest presumably coming back from his patrol. The two conversed for a moment before he led her back to his room.

Covering her mouth to stifle her gasp Shindo sunk to the ground, 'Kiryuu and Souen are together?!'

Nadeshiko scowled in defeat, taking one last look at the beautiful couple before running back to her dorms trying to ignore the stinging in her eyes and the ugly feeling of jealousy sinking into her chest.


The next crossover was quiet. The fangirls had taken to watching the hunter and vampires unblinkingly. Zero had taken the silence with wary acceptance, curious but not willing to look a gift horse in its mouth.

Kaname had raised a curious eyebrow, Yuuki was chattering about a small party she had decided to attend. The male pureblood tried not to frown at her disapprovingly. He knew that she had been thrown into the vampire society however she had changed and from what he could see it had not been for the better.

Yuuki was not the little girl he had cared for as a sister nor the one he had thought he could take as a lover. She was aesthetically pleasing in looks he would admit, it came with being the child of two purebloods who had been stunningly beautiful.

Yet there was something about his fiance that dimmed her beauty. Made her come across as average. Yuuki and Kaname shared every feature, their hair, their eye colors and basic facial features. Yet no one had ever made the connection that they were related.

Kaname's each and every step was measured in perfect rhythm, his posture perfect, his power and determination unrivaled along with being fully capable of taking care of himself. Yuuki was considerably less. Her steps were loud and choppy, she was content with allowing Kaname to make decisions for her and she tended to try and order his fellow class members when she didn't get what she wanted.

He had been foolish to hope that Yuuki would stay the same.

Kaname breathed, inhaling the hanging scent that always seemed to linger in the air every time his classmates disappeared. Letting it's calming effects ease tense muscles. The past few months had been wearing on him, however, the only visible sign of tiredness was that his posture that was usually no less than perfect was off. His shoulders slumped slightly and his eyes were half-lidded.

Although he was not aware where they wandered off too he did know that they returned happier than when they had left and as he did not receive any complaints from the headmaster or a certain hunter he assumed that they had found a spot that was out of the way.

It saddened Kaname that his subordinates and his future queen had a poor relationship but he knew better than to push them.

As soon as Ruka walked out of the gates head held high, her hair loose and wavy around her, the silence shattered as loud cheers and wails reached their ears.

"They're so cute together!" One squealed.

"Kyaa!~ I'm soooo jealous~" A girl in the back screamed fanning her face.

"Kiryuu are you transferring to the night class?" Was yelled from somewhere in the back.

Another wailed, "So unfair!"

"He's the only eye candy the day class has!"

"Yeah, you can't transfer! Who are we supposed to stare at all day?!"

"How long have you guys been together?"

"Why can't we date them if you can!?"

Yells and questions were lost in the commotion, slightly startled by the sudden noise Zero took a step back, only a few paces from Ruka. More squeals, wails of despair, and giggles erupted.

"Souen-san! Kiryuu! You guys are so adorable together! Good luck!"

Three beats of dead stillness before Aido finally voiced out a rather clear "What?"

Silence fell again but Aido was still incredulous, "No, seriously." He deadpanned "What, the actual hell."

Zero blinked out of his shock, "Where did you get that idea? We're not together." He growled. The hunter did not dislike Ruka. He did, however, find the idea of dating her rather repulsive. The slightly put outlook on her face told the hunter that she felt the same.

Kaname gauged the supposed couple's reaction for any sign that they were lying. Off to his side, his sister covered a hand over her mouth to hide a delighted grin.

"Wow, I didn't know they were dating," Yuuki commented slyly.

"Yah! Don't lie, Kiryuu! Nadeshiko saw you two together last night~"

"Bitch!" A stupid-brave jealous girl yelled, "I bet you seduced him!"

Ruka's started to laugh slightly the stress that had slowly built since Kaname had turned Yuuki finally catching up to her.

Aido snarled and his eyes narrowed, "How dare you!" He managed to growl.

"You want to see bitchy? Fine!" Ruka exclaimed throwing her hands into the air before turning around grabbing Zero's school jacket and slamming lips to the silverette's. Rather stunned with herself, Ruka stepped back staring at the wide-eyed prefect.

"Yah!" Aido yelled instinctively before spinning around and copying Ruka's actions. Jaws dropped in surprise.

Zero having recovered from the surprise of being accosted by two different vampire's in less than five minutes rammed his fist right below the vampire's ribs.

Aido doubled over in pain, pale hands moved to his shoulders and before he could realize why they were there a knee swung up and buried itself into his stomach.

The hunter stepped back as Aido wheezed sinking onto the ground. The night class started. The fangirls screamed in delight.

Zero's eye twitched, "Get to class!" He roared. No one knew who he was yelling at.

Behind the closed gates, Aido paused, blinked several times then licked his lips again, "Vanilla and mint... How?"

Kain snorted at his cousin, Takuma and Shiki buried their faces into each other's shoulders, Seiren and Ruka raised elegant brows and Kaname's lips quirked into a half smile, a small laugh leaving his lips and lifting an eyebrow as he waited for the blonde to make the connection.

Ruka tilted her head bringing her hands up to her own lips before tasting them. The other vampires stared at her. Ignoring their questioning looks "Not bad." she declared before waltzing towards the classroom.

Hey, she might not have been attracted to the hunter but that did not mean Zero didn't taste good.


It had taken days for the day class boys to stop glaring at Zero and even more for the day class girls to stop trying to maul the hunter every time he so much as glanced at them.

One day during crossover one of the day class managed to wail. "It's so unfair! Why does he get to date two night class students!"

Zero's eye twitched, "For the last time I'm not dating either of them!"

"He's telling the truth!" A random day class student skipped over a magazine rolled into her hands.

"Finally!" Zero exclaimed in exasperation.

The girl bounced over, magazine in hand showing the picture to the whole group happily she cried,"Because Kiryuu isn't dating Ruka-senpai or Prince-kun! He's dating Kuran-sama!"

A hush fell over the entire crowd as everyone turned to stare at the two undeniably beautiful pair in the picture to the murderous faces of Kaname and Zero.

"That's a lie!" Yuuki shrieked.

She was stunned into silence along with everyone else that was present when the photo showed Zero sensually sprawled against the wooden floor dressed in royal Japanese laying on the few layers appeared to have been forcefully stripped of his Kouchigi, the shorter brocade robe worn over the series of brightly coloured unlined robes called the uchigi along with the patterned woven uwagi and decorated silk robe exposing his short silk kosode that ended at his lower calf and exposed a pale lithe leg gazing through half-lidded eyes meeting Kaname's.

His silver hair had been woven with glittering jewels, golden earrings, hands ankles and neck decorated with what looked like expensive (but fake as far as Zero knew) ornamental jewels.

The pureblood, who had been dressed as a common Japanese soldier, a devilish grin spread across Kaname's aristocratic features mere centimeters from the other's neck as he straddled the hunter one hand caressing the hunter's pale neck while the other arm that was next the prefects head supported the vampire.

"Wha– So now he can date three of them?!" The fangirl cried in despair. More shouts and protests joined in.

Zero opened his mouth to speak before closing it, "I'm done." He declared starting to walk away, "The level of pure bullshit I can take has been reached. You're all on your own." Before turning a corner and disappearing out of view.

The fangirls turned to unguarded night class. Wide grins stretched over their faces.


Some of the most poisonous people come disguised as friends and family.
