Chapter 5
Emerald doe eyes glanced fearfully around the dark room. She bit her bottom lip in attempts to calm herself down.
"W-what do you want with me?"
Kaname stared at her with brown apathetic eyes as he crossed the room and threw the curtains open, letting the moon illuminate the room.
"P-Please let m-me go...!"
"Stop playing games," His eyes flashed red. "Sakura"
Sakura stilled at the mention of her name, she bowed her head in poor attempts in hiding herself from those piercing red orbs. Her arms wrapped around herself for comfort. Kaname frowned as he stared at the shaking form of the smaller girl. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off when soft girlish giggles filled the room.
"Boo…" She lifted her head with a smirk, her bangs hiding her eyes from view, "You just have to ruin my fun, don't you?"
She giggled once more as she stared at the impassive stare the brown haired noble had given her.
"I see you're as dull as ever," Sakura voiced out as she sat down on the love seat of a dimly lit study. Her legs draped over the arm rest, making her skirt rise up showing off her long slender legs. She stared at him blankly, her head tilting to the side in mock fascination.
"Not a colorful thing present in this room…"
Kaname smirked, "I could say the same to you—" He frowned, "That sarcastic tendency of yours didn't seem to disappear."
His gaze narrowed as she threw her head back with a laugh. It was Sakura's time to smirk.
"Oh please," She stood up and walked up to him, her hips swaying sensuously, she stood on her toes—her lips inches away from his.
"You love my so called 'sarcastic tendencies'." She moved away before he could even lay a hand on her, giggling at his blank façade.
His fingers twitched, itching to do something.
"Kaname-kun" she purred out his name, "Do you think what you are doing is wise?" She smiled as she sat down on the desk present in the room.
Kaname stared at her, expression blank, before it phased into that fake smile of his. "Forgive me, Sakura."
"What it this really about Kaname?"
Sakura hopped down from the desk and walked over to the un-touched chess board and picked up a white pawn.
"Surely, the great Kaname-sama, wouldn't call me out for a simple chat."
Sakura's smile slowly turned into a frown as Kaname walked pass her and over to the glass window that showed a wonderful view of Cross Academy. Her eyes narrowed as he turned his gaze onto her, his eyes glowed eerie crimson as he stared at her.
"I think you know what I want."
She placed down the white pawn and turned her gaze into his direction.
"Play a game with me?" She whispered motioning for him to come closer. "I know how much you adore playing."
Kaname stared at her for a moment before walking over to her and the untouched board. "As you wish…"
They sat across each other, anticipating the other's move.
Kaname was the first to make a move. "You know I dislike things coming in my way."
"I do. But what makes you think I am?" Her eyes watched his face, to
"Sakura" At his voice her movement stopped all together as he stared at her with those red deadly eyes.
"Kaname" Her voice was calm. "I do not wish to interfere, treat me as you would to your other… pawns." She closed her eyes in contemplation.
"And right now I believe that your subordinates are causing trouble,"
She opened her eyes to reveal a darker shade of her usual emerald eyes, standing up she picked up her white queen and moved it inches away from his king.
"Checkmate." Deep brown eyes stared impassively at the pink haired girl.
Sakura frowned at his lack of reaction "Do not do anything to upset me, Kaname…" with that she disappeared from his sight, leaving a single cherry blossom petal.
Kaname stood up and walked over to her previously occupied seat.
"A pawn you say…?" he whispered as he picked up the lone petal. He brought it to his lips and smirked.
"Heh…" He let out an amused sound. Moving over to the board he picked up the white queen and smirked. "Not just a mere pawn, blossom."
Sakura cursed under her breath as she raced through the tree tops at an incredible speed. Her mind buzzing as warning bells went off in her head.
She had been a hairs breath away from death. Taunting a vampire—much less a pureblood like Kuran Kaname himself was suicide. She bit her lip as she landed on the forest floor with a soft thud, not wasting time she kept on running away. The farther she gets from the Moon dorm. The better.
She frowned as she remembered his piercing gaze and lack of emotion. That wasn't the same person he met so long ago. Not the same Kuran Kaname that Juri and Haruka raised.
Kaname…
Sakura froze in mid-step as a familiar scent wafted through her senses.
BLOOD
She knew that scent anywhere. Without second thought she ran full speed towards the direction, taking off into the trees once more. Sakura growled in frustration as she missed a branch and almost fell down. Extending out her hand she caught a small branch and pushed herself up, she breathed out in annoyance for acting out so rash in the midst of her anger and confusion.
She looked down at her hand and winced seeing it wounded. "Kakashi would kill me…"
"… I want more!" A seductive male voice called out. Sakura looked down at the clearing and saw the blonde haired annoyance, known as Aidou, biting down onto Yuki's hand. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted two fainted day class female students and a bored looking orange haired male she had always seen hanging around the blonde playboy.
"Is it okay if I drink from your neck?" Sakura's eyes flashed in anger as she readied herself to jump down from her hiding place and beat the daylights out of the blonde pervert. In the background she could hear the reprimanding voice of the orange haired vampire only to be cut off by Zero's arrival, his Bloody rose pointed at Aidou.
"Drinking blood within school premises is strictly prohibited ..." Zero's voice was laced with acid as his glare never wavered. "Getting drunk at the scent of blood and showing your true self, vampire."
"Heh…" Aidou didn't seem at all threatened. "But it was just a taste," He reasoned out like the pompous child he is.
Zero fired his Bloody Rose just above the orange haired male's head, missing the blonde vampire, though it was enough to let Aidou know that he wasn't playing games.
"T-THAT WAS SCARY!" Aidou exclaimed as he released Yuki from his hold.
Yuki, quick to recover from the sudden movement, glared at Zero. "Why did you shoot!-?"
Sakura sighed and jumped down from her hiding place, ignoring the shocked looks she got from the group, and sent a disappointed look towards Zero.
"Kiryuu-san," Her voice was calm but her gaze said otherwise. "I think it would be wise to put that gun away."
Zero's eyes shifted onto her, his hold on the gun lowering slightly. Yuki looked shocked at her sudden arrival and stared at where she had dropped down from with worry. Aido who was still shaking a bit gave her a wary glance and the orange haired male stared at her impassively.
"Indeed it would be." A deep baritone voice entered the clearing.
Yuki's face quickly changed from distressed to surprised, "Kaname-sempai!"
Kaname acknowledged her with a look and shifted his gaze over to the silver haired teen. "Could you lower that Bloody Rose of yours?" His tone was polite yet demanding. "It is very dangerous to us."
Sakura watched him blankly as he picked up Aidou's collar with ease. He frowned a little before speaking. "I'll take charge of these fools, The chairman will be waiting for a report on this..."
Zero looked hesitant as he lowered his weapon. "Kuran-sempai…"
Kaname looked over to him. "Is that okay? Kiryuu-kun?"
Yuki shifted her worried gaze over to the silver haired teen. "Zero,"
Kaname, not expecting an answer from the tense prefect glared at the other vampire present. "Kain!"
Sakura tilted her head to the side, absentmindedly voicing out her thoughts. "Oh… so his name was Kain."
She was ignored as Kaname continued. "Why didn't you stop Aidou? You're responsible for this too" Kain paled and sighed in a defeated manner, worrying about his punishment. Without a word another night class student dropped down from hiding and proceeded to place her glowing hands over the unconscious day class girls.
"As for those two, we'll erase their memories of tonight and take them to the chairman. Is that okay?" Kaname asked directing her question to the dazed brunette.
"H-Hai! Please do, Kaname-sempai." Yuki nodded, face flushed.
Kaname gave her a small smile, before looking at her apologetically. "I'm sorry if this has brought up any ... bad memories, Yuki."
Yuki blushed once more and hooked her hands behind her back, giving him a nervous laugh. "N-Not at all! It hardly did anything."
Kaname stared at her as if unbelieving and sent a look towards Sakura's way.
Zero seeing him look away took the chance to grab Yuki by the hand and drag her away from the scene wordlessly.
"Ah! Zero!" Yuki tried to get out of his hold as he walked away, with her in tow. "Let go of me!"
Kaname stared at their retreating form his face showing no emotion. Sakura watched the interaction between the three and frowned.
"Kaname…"
Upon hearing his name he turned towards the girl only to find her space empty. He frowned as he wordlessly released Aidou and walked back to the school building allowing the two to follow him.
