*crawls out of depression hole*
Umm... Did my writing ... change or something?
I know... that I'm being totally conceited but... I was actually expecting a lot of reviews from the last chapter...
I'm j-just thinking... "Did the last chapter suck? or something...?"
sigh.
I'm sorry.
Chapter
Sakura hummed in amusement as she wandered around the classroom, fully aware of the eyes that followed her every movement.
"I wasn't able to get the chance to better examine the room when I went to fetch my book," She said to no one in particular and began to climb the stairs that lead to the last row. "But this room is pretty big?"
No one answered her yet the air was thick with hostility. The vampires steered clear of her as she chose to settle herself on the farthest seat, using the table as a makeshift chair. Ruka glared at the annoying human and stepped up to voice out the question that was running around everyone's mind. "Why are you wearing that uniform?"
Sakura spared a glance her way before nonchalantly shrugging and turning her attention towards the large window.
Ruka growled. "You—!"
She was cut off when Kaname entered the room followed by Ichijou. Everyone bowed their heads in respect towards their pure-blooded leader. Kaname didn't even glance at them and continued towards his usual spot near the back. He looked up to see eyes meeting his own with a bored stare.
"Having fun?"
The collection of vampires within the room seemed surprised by the comment from their usually silent leader and looked up to see the intruder still sitting down on the table, now with her legs crossed. She answered him by simply sticking out her tongue and turning away once more. Gasp of shock filled the room followed by angry growls. How dare she act like that towards their leader! But the sounds of hatred came to a stop when Kaname raised his hand, effectively stopping them.
"Enough." With that he made his way towards his usual chair and sat down, pulling out a book. The other night class students took this as their cue and proceeded to be 'normal' students as their leader would. At first it would seem like any other normal evening but this time a rather unwelcomed, undignified snort interrupted the silence. Kaname snapped his book shut and placed it aside as he looked at the girl who was giggling behind her dainty hand.
"Is there something funny, Sakura-san?"
Sakura grinned and walked over to face him, clearly aware of the spectacle she was making. "Is this supposed to be like, your throne or something?"
From the different levels of their height from his current seating position, he had to look up to meet her amused eyes. "Excuse me?"
Sakura giggled and sat on one of the armrest, ignoring the growling, as she let her back touch his person.
"Ne, Dorm head, you are really loved by your little followers." She mused as she dared to touch his hair. "Aren't you?"
Ruka stood up ready to attack but Akatsuki held her in place, his grip was strong on her wrist. "Let me go." She hissed.
He shook his head and forced her to sit down once more but there attention was to the girl who sat idly at the arm rest of their leader, who seemed not at all bothered by the pink haired girl who chatted about sweet nothings. Ichijou seemed to take nothing of the situation and had his attention focused towards the rest of the class who glared daggers. A smile occupied his handsome face yet the misleading casual stance he had was nothing to go up against.
"Who the hell does she think she is?"
Hanabusa Aidou, never considered himself as anything but perfect. He had been born into a good family, his parents being ever supportive, older siblings whom absolutely adored and love him back and of course friends that he had come to treasure. He was blessed with good looks as well, flowing golden locks that matched icy blue eyes. Being dubbed as the night class' "Idol-senpai", and of course not to forget that he being considered as the genius of their generation with countless of researchers begging him to take part and aide the discover that will benefit mankind, but of course he was far too lazy for that all. He simply enjoyed sleeping the day away and worshipping the ground Kaname-sama walked on.
But with all his gifted intellect, not once could he fathom the image playing before him.
A nameless pink haired girl that seem to show up from nowhere is now and is now a part of the night class. Not once had he heard of a pink haired vampire.
Was this girl even a vampire? She acted and smelled human enough. Her stench was unbearable to be around so she must be human, but why was she here? Has the egghead of a chairman finally lost his mind? What happened to the propaganda of peace between humans and vampires? Does he not know that the existence of this girl within these four walls would cause a great amount of jeopardy that will eat away his chances of success? This girl who doesn't even have nobility, the girl who looks so breakable…
What the hell is happening!?
The clock struck midnight and all hatred he felt for the girl vanished as his vibrant blue eyes met with smooth hazelnut. The exchange was silent, yet their thoughts seem to come across.
A loud yawn accompanied the doors opening followed by a lazy greeting from their new adviser.
"Good evening boys and girls."
He crossed the room with his back slouched and hair tussled worse than the last they have seen of him. His tie was crooked and his dress shirt was a mess. As he reached the table in front he dumped the stacks of papers he was carrying, catching the attention of most, and scanned the room with his lone eye.
"When you are greeted," He began painfully slow as if talking to a gathering of children. "It is only natural to greet back."
The young vampires in the room seem to take offence to his tone of speaking, glares where thrown at his person.
Kakashi's head tilted to the side in mock fascination. "My, what unpleasant children…"
Aidou glared and stood up. "Who the hell are you to talk to us like—"
He never did get to finish his statement when an eraser hit him square in the face. "Sit down." His voice was as bored as ever.
Anger flashed inside of him and large slabs of ice began to move towards the aloof teacher with amazing speed but his target was off and hit the wall instead.
Aidou was shocked. He disappeared into thin air! How the hell did that—!?
A vice like grip enclosed around his neck before he could even finish his train of thought and he was slowly lifted up from the ground. His hands came up to his neck, clawing to be released.
He choked out a growl. "B-Bastard…"
Every vampire in the room stood up baring their fangs at the odd educator, daring him to make any sudden moves. Akatsuki's eyes flashed red and flames began to form around the room. Ruka was glaring at the man, eyes flashing a dangerous pink. Shiki and Rima remained seated, but their attention was on him, watching his every move.
Kakashi sighed and scratched his bed hair with his free hand.
"I didn't think teaching you kids manners was in the job description… but seeing you like this," He threw Aidou across the room and towards the ice path he had created, effectively shattering it to pieces. "It's just sad." He sighed once more and stuffed his hands in his pocket. "So in the goodness of my heart, let's start." He walked towards the black board obviously taking his time and soaking up all the hatred he felt in the room being directed at him, a chalk in his hand, and stepping over the unconscious Aido with ease. Akatuski walked over to his cousin and tried to sit him up seeing as he was already regaining consciousness. With big bold letters the silver haired scarecrow wrote the word 'MANNERS' in capital letters.
"Lesson number one: Respect."
The room stayed deathly silent yet a girl near the back giggled softly, laughter shaking her frame as she leaned against the secretly amused pureblood for support who in turn watched the whole scene with a smirk.
"Ne, Sensei…" Sakura grinned. "What you did awhile ago was a crime. Teachers shouldn't lay a hand on their precious students."
Kakashi shrugged and draped an arm over her shoulders pulling her closer to his person as they walked home side by side. "Brats need to be taught, Sakura-chan."
She giggled and nuzzled into his side enjoying his warmth against the cold day-break air.
"Oh, and I expect my chocolates to be extra special."
She looked up at him. "I already gave your chocolates yesterday."
"Yeah but today is valentines." He tapped the back of her head playfully. "Yesterday's didn't count."
She pouted. "Selfish."
His eye crinkled indicating a smile. "Only for you." He bent down and kissed the side of her temple.
In response she elbowed him in the gut.
The day began when both of them ended up falling asleep on the couch. Sakura had woken up pass noon and decided to prepare a simple meal of pasta and bread; Kakashi stumbled in the dining room soon after, demanding sustenance. She ushered him to the nearest chair and laughed as he devoured three servings and the whole basket of bread.
"Delicious as always," Kakashi sighed in contentment as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Here," Sakura pushed a plate of mouth-watering chocolate cake to him. "For dessert."
Kakashi stared down at the sweet and noted with a smile the heart shaped frosting and pink candy flower that decorated the top. He pulled her onto his lap and nuzzled her cheek affectionately.
"I love you."
Sakura laughed and pushed him off. "Go take a bath after this. Class will be starting soon."
He watched her hang her apron on a nearby hook and saw that she was already wearing her uniform. "How do you do everything so fast?"
"We can't all be as lazy as the great Kakashi-sama."
Kakashi used the fork to wave her off in a dismissing manner. "Just leave… where are you going any ways?"
She smirked and pulled out a box of chocolates from her pocket. "I couldn't miss this so called valentines event."
He hummed in understanding and finished off his valentines dessert. "Go and meet up with your Paramour."
With a promise to see each other later she left the house.
It took Hatake Kakashi an approximate of thirty seconds to figure out that he had to deal with the mess left in the kitchen.
"I did not expect this."
She arrived a few feet away from the gated event that is valentines. She cocked her head to the side, with her hand on her hip as she noted with interest the steel bars and fan designation for each night class student.
"How organized," She mused. The event was going quite well, the night class students seem to take the event as a whole waste of time. But there was that blonde idiot who seem to bask in the heat of adoration by his human fans and seem to make a game of who gets to collect the most chocolates in one afternoon. Sakura watched a bored red-head be dragged to his station by the vice dorm head, Ichijou, with a smile. Ruka was there, she seemed quite annoyed with the whole event, that until a boy from the night class presented her with a heart shaped box of sweets and her annoyance grew even more. She contemplated on whether to approach the whole mess but decided against it when Yuki started blowing her loud whistle and reprimanding the so called 'Idol'-senpai. Her eyes scanned the crowd and saw Kaname attending to his fans with a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry but, this is all I can carry." He smiled apologetically to the girl who bowed and apologized herself but thanked him nonetheless for being considerate of the ones before her. He thanked her with a smile and bid the line of his faithful adorers. He passed Yuki, thanking her for a job well done as she restrained a few female fans who wanted to get closer to the night class students. He never saw the look of disappointment that passed her face, hidden by a sad smile.
Patting her pocket where a box of store-bought chocolates were found, gave her enough distraction to be trampled upon by some desperate girls.
Zero walked up to where her chocolates had landed and picked up the green colored box.
"Kuran-senpai."
Kaname turned and instinctively raised his hand to catch the upcoming object. Looking down he saw another box of chocolate.
"You forgot those." Zero finished coolly.
"Zero!"
"I'll accept them," Kaname said, referring to the chocolates. "Thank you Yuki." With that he turned and continued on to the direction towards school.
When they were out of earshot from the large gathering, Seiren had offered to take the boxes of unwanted good out of his hands.
"It's fine if you eat them," He said handing the small boxes to her. "I'm fine with this one." He whispered bringing the green colored box to his lips.
A soft voice interrupted his musings. "Does that mean you won't be accepting mine?"
He stopped and looked over to Sakura who stood in front of him with a teasing smile. She pulled out a small box from her pocket and pouted at him.
"I worked so hard on these too."
Kaname regarded her with a small frown. "You know I don't care for sweets."
She smirked, "And yet you seem too eager to accept some chocolates from that little girl."
"Do not bring Yuki into this." He warned. Seiren, who stood behind him, summoned her knives sensing the impending danger from the pink haired girl.
"But Kaname-kun," She giggled stepping up to him with a wide grin. "She plays an important part, does she not?"
Before his hand could break her throat she was already bouncing away to another direction with a light laugh.
"Am I not wrong? This game of yours, truly she must be an important piece!"
"Sakura," He warned with narrowed eyes. "I am serious."
She stopped. "So am I." Fearlessly she walked over to him, her eyes unwavering as it met his crimson ones. "Here," she pushed a carefully wrapped cake into his hands. "I was careful to not make it too sweet." He stared down at the pink frilly wrapping and back towards her.
"Be sure to eat it."
With that she turned and ran to the opposite direction, calling over her shoulder. "I'll be a late!"
Kaname stared at her retreating form for awhile before returning towards the direction of school.
Sakura saw the familiar building that made up the stables. She patted her pocket, making sure the item was still there. Carefully, she made her way towards the stable with steady steps only to bump into a girl with braids near to tears.
"I-I'm sorry!" She stuttered out before continuing to run. A few tears escaped her eyes and she never noticed that she dropped what Sakura supposed was a valentines gift.
"Weird."
A strangled breath caught her attention and she turned to see zero leaning against the frame of the stables for support. His breathing was heavy as he clutched his arm as if it were in pain.
"What are you looking at?"
At first she thought the comment was directed at her but his line of sight seems to go further into the barn. "Don't look at me with those eyes…"
"You do know horses can't talk, do you?"
Faster than she could blink, the silver haired prefect drew out his gun and pointed it at her, a glare pinning her person. "Don't move."
She ignored him and walked closer. "How many times do I have to tell you that it is impolite for a gentleman to point their weapons at a lady?"
"Shut up." Zero hissed, his gun as well as his glare, unwavering. "You are one of them."
They stared each other down. Zero's glare was fierce despite his shaky form; his grip was hard around bloody rose and his eyes spelled death. He frowned when the girl before him started to smile.
She tilted her head to the side, as if studying him. Zero's eyes widen when she brought her hand up and grabbed the barrel with ease, her eyes shining with mischief. He growled and flicked the hammer, daring her to make anymore sudden movements. Despite his actions the girl seemed to grow bolder and allowed the cold metal to touch her person. With a smirk, she pulled on the gun and brought it close, the cold metal touching her chest "Do it."
Zero was surprised by the audacity of the girl. He frowned and pushed the offending object closer to her, noting that her smirk grew and her eyes sparkled with laughter.
Sakura laughed when he pulled the weapon away from her hold and returned it to his holster. He began to walk away, his hands fisted at his sides.
"Do you really think I'm one of them?"
Her voice stopped him from taking another step. Zero turned to see her idly playing with her hair, looking bored as ever.
"What?"
She looked up, her emerald eyes boring into his own. "Do you?" She approached him cautiously, her eyes not leaving his, a bitter smile plastered on her face.
"Do I really seem like one of those... blood sucking beasts?"
"What are you...?" His hand came up to his neck as the familiar burning sensation of thirst returned. His breathing grew labored as his pulse rung in his ears. The thirst shook his body and his weight gave in from under him. His eyes were frantic as he clawed his neck hoping to stop this state he was entering.
Sakura stared him down. Her head tilted to the side as Zero collapsed in a lying heap to the ground. "Are you in pain?"
"G-Get away from me!" He choked out when she kneeled down beside him.
She placed her cool hand on his feverish skin. "Does it hurt?"
He slapped her hand away and tried to sit up. "D-Don't touch me!"
Sakura frowned.
"L-Leave me alo—!"
A stinging pain halted that sentence. He brought his hand to touch his face only to move it away as soon as it made contact. He stared up at her blank face, incredulous.
She slapped me!
"Shut up." Her voice what cold as she pushed him down to lie once more her hands settled on top of his eyes and ignored his thrashing and insults. "Relax."
As soon as the words escaped her mouth a calming presence filled his chaotic mind. The desire for blood suppressed and the fire within him grew dim. He opened his mouth to question her but was quieted once more. "Calm down. I'm helping you."
Silence settled over them and the rustling of the leaves echoed around.
"…Sorry"
"What?"
Zero frowned, a small blush dusting his cheeks. "I'm sorry… I didn't mean what I said earlier." His hands fisted his already crumpled uniform. "…sorry"
Sakura smiled. "Open your mouth."
"W-What?"
"Just do it!" She hid a smirk as he did so, with hesitance of course. She pulled out the box of goodies she was saving specially for the silver haired teen and popped a piece of homemade chocolates in his mouth. She giggled when he sputtered in surprise, barely managing not to spit out the sweet. He sat up and chewed whilst staring at her with disbelief.
"Chocolates?"
She grinned and handed the box to him. "Happy Valentine's day."
(Insert here a bit i was tempted to write)
"Chocolates?"
She grinned and handed the box to him. "Happy Valentine's day."
Zero stared down at the box in his hands and back to the smiling pinkette. "...Why?"
She shrugged. "Who knows," She then smiled and winked playfully at him. "Maybe I got a thing for silver hair."
...So whooo~ 15 pages... or something like that.
Truthfully, i think it's amazing that I was able to shit this out even with the slump that ate me due to the depression from the last chapter. But I did it...yaaaaaaaaaaaaa...ay (sarcasm bitches)
so excuse the language but this is who I am. depressing shit.
ha
ANYWAYS.
So I guess we all agree that Sakura is one messed up character here. Believe me, I didn't want to end the chapter here. the previous chapter and this one is just half and half of EPISODE 2... EPISODE-FUCKING-2
and I didn't even get to the part of the confrontation yet.
But I didn't want to drag it on... that or I was too depressed and shit to finish the long ass chapter.
If you are getting annoyed with Sakura's character here... GOOD. CUZ SHE IS FUCKING INSANE!
anyways... til next time!...bitches
