Momo: Alrighty, new chapter. I'm glad everyone liked the fluff from last chapter.
It had been about two weeks since I was injured, I was perfectly fine now. The only evidence there was to my injury was three very thin lines on my stomach, barely even noticeable. Zero had forgiven himself for the most part, and we were talking and hanging out again. Takuma and I had been getting along great. I swear, if it weren't for the fangs, you'd never believe he was a vampire, he's too nice. There was something wrong with Kaname though. He had been avoiding me a little, he never talked to me, and tried not to even look at me. It was just probably another secret being kept from me, but I guess I won't know until it reveals itself. The last thing that happened in the past two weeks, there was a new student in the night class. Kurenai Maria. I didn't really like her. One time she went out in the day in front of all of the day students and made poor Takuma chase her, and he got chased by those rabid fangirls. Zero REALLY didn't like her either. I admit though, there was something unnerving about her. To make things even more fun, there was a dance tonight and surprisingly, Zero, Yuuki, and I had the night off, which was weird. After classes, and holding back the screaming zoo, Yuuki and I both went to our dorms.
"I like this one!" Yuuki exclaimed. I groaned. I will never help her pick out a dress ever again. If I do, I'll do out to the moon dorms and let Aido freeze me for my stupidity. "That one's nice." I mumbled. "Great! Now how about you?" she asked. I looked up at Yuuki with a bored look on my face. "Do you honestly think I'd ever own a dress?" I asked. She shrugged. "You're wearing a skirt." she said. I felt a vein pulse on the side of my head. "That's mandatory you idiot!" I yelled, making Yuuki laugh. "So, you gonna dance with Kaname or Zero?" I asked. Yuuki stared at me, apparently she didn't know what she was going to do. "Nevermind, pretend I didn't ask that." I said. "Well, it's obvious who YOU'RE going with." Yuuki squealed. I blushed a little, he DID ask me, but honestly, what did I have to wear other than a bunch of school uniforms, jeans (mostly black), and shirts that were pretty unfit for anything to be very formal (mostly band shirts)? "Hmm.... I know! Ask Rima-chan!" Yuuki exclaimed. I thought about it. I'm friends with Rima and she's a model, that would probably work. "I'll try that. See you at the dance." I said as I walked out of Yuuki's room and started to the moon dorms.
I walked up to the enormous doors and knocked on them. Kurenai Maria answered the door, still in her uniform. "Well hello there Hikari-chan! What are you doing here?" she asked. "I need to see Rima." I stated. "Well, I'll take you to her room." she said. We walked upstairs, I couldn't help but feel that there was something seriously strange with this girl. We stopped and she turned around and smiled at me. "So, Takanashi, I bet you don't even know who you are." she said, her voice deeper than it normally was. I was taken back at her sudden mood swing. "Excuse me?" I asked. "Hmm, to think you were born a human, it's kind of ironic." she said. I clenched my fists, I did not want to be talking about this right now. "That's not something I want to discuss." I said coldly. She suddenly disappeared. I then felt her hot breath on my ear. "So you didn't want to know your mother was half pure blood? she asked. I turned around to punch her. She caught my fist with ease. This was NOT Kurenai Maria. "Who the hell are you?" I growled. She smirked. "You'll find out later." Just then, a door opened, revealing a very confused Rima. "Is something wrong?" she asked, noticing how pissed off I looked. "Nope! I just walked her up here, I'll see you later Hikari-chan!" Maria chirped as she skipped down the stairs. I audibly growled. More secrets. A bitch with a split personality. "You alright?" Rima asked. I looked at her, remembering what I came here for. "Yeah, can I ask you something?" I asked, calming down in the process. "Sure." she stated, letting me in her room. "Do you have a dress I can borrow? I don't have anything." I mumbled shyly. She smiled slightly and pulled me towards her closet. "I'd be glad to help." she said. Oh crap, I'll be here for a while.
After about ten minutes of looking at the various dresses Rima had, we finally came across one I liked. I grabbed it and looked at Rima, who was getting ready for the dance herself. I grinned. "Knock Shiki dead." I said. She looked at me with widened eyes. I smirked and walked out of the room. But before I didn't, what Maria said ran through my head, and I had to ask Rima something. "Rima, is it possible to be a half pure blood?" I asked. "Yeah, it's very rare though." Rima answered. "Thank you." I said as I walked out of her room and ran out of the moon dorms. If my mother was half pure blood, then Kaname probably knew her. Then there's Takuma's grandfather, I KNOW he had to know my mom. I sighed and shook the thoughts from my head, I was worrying about something that didn't matter now. My mom was dead and I was a human and not a vampire, so there was nothing else to worry about. The council of vampires don't want anything to do with a human.
Takuma's POV
I walked into the hall and down the stairs to go to the school, I couldn't wait to see Hikari. I saw both Shiki and Rima at the bottom of the steps. I grinned and walked down there to talk to them. "So how are my two little love birds today?" I asked. I could have sworn I saw their eyes twitch at the same time. "Fine." Rima stated. "Like your any better Ichijou, you'll be all over Hikari." Shiki teased. I blushed at the thought. "By the way, she was over here not too long ago." Rima said. Aww, I missed her. "She was acting weird." she said. "What do you mean weird?" I asked. "I heard voices outside my door, so I opened it and I saw Hikari, who looked like she was about to murder Kurenai Maria. Then before she left, she asked me if it was possible to to have a half pure blood." she explained. "Well, that is weird." I said. Very strange indeed. Why would she ask that? Unless her mother was a half pure blood. I don't even know. I bet My grandfather and Kaname-sama do though. I just shrugged it off and walked into the school with Shiki and Rima.
The dance hall was already packed with over excited day students. "Hi Ichijou-senpai!" I heard Yuuki call. I smiled and turned to her. "Hello Yuuki-chan. Where's Hikari?" I asked, knowing that Yuuki and Hikari were almost always together. "She'll be here in a minute." Yuuki said. She then walked off, probably to find Zero or Kaname. I stood there for a couple more minutes before I heard someone laugh beside me. I turned to see Shiki, who was laughing and a smirking Rima. "What?" I asked. Rime reached up and grabbed my head, turning it to the left a little. My jaw dropped at the sight I saw. Hikari walked in the room with a long, flowing midnight blue dress that reached to her ankles. The dress revealed her shoulders and what cut low-ish, but not low enough to really see much. She curled two strands of her hair, both of them framing her face perfectly, the rest of her hair flowing free. She walked up to me with a blush on her face. "Hello, you look great tonight." she said nervously. Shiki pushed my jaw up, clamping it shut. Both Shiki and Rima smirked and walked off. I blushed darkly. "You look great too." I complimented. She smiled, her blush darkening as well. I held out my hand. "Care to dance?" I asked. She nodded and took my hand.
Hikari's POV
Takuma was being such a gentleman. It was almost unreal. We swayed to the music and he did look great in the suit he was wearing. I was glad he like how I looked though. I rested my head on his shoulder, leting my body sway to the music without me keeping an eye on it. This night was going great, yet I had a bad feeling in my gut. I looked around the room. Yuuki, Zero, and Kaname were all missing. Also, Kurenai Maria wasn't there. I didn't want to leave, but I KNEW something was wrong. dancing and Takuma looked down at me. "Is everything alright?" he asked. I smiled reassuringly while leaning up to kiss him on the cheek. "I'll be back." I said as I hurried out of the room.
I walked around the school until I heard a shout. I ran towards the noise, running into a room where I saw Yuuki, Zero, and someone who could pass as Zero's twin. "What the hell is going on?" I blurted out. All eyes turned to me. "Hikari! Shizuka Hio is here! ." Yuuki yelled. I thought for a second, Shizuka was the pure blood who killed Zero's family. "Who's this?" the other man asked with and evil smirk on his face. I scowled. "Shouldn't I be asking you that seeing as you have a sword held up to my best friend?" I asked. The man chuckled. Zero looked at me. "This is my twin brother, Ichiru." Zero said. "Then why the hell is he attaking you?" I asked. "He's with Shizuka." Zero growled. "What the hell is wrong with you!? That bitch kills your parents and you join her!?" I yelled. He turned and looked at me with angry eyes. "You don't know anything!" he yelled as he ran towards me. "Aw crap." I muttered to myself, knowing I didn't have my dagger with me this time. I ducked out of the way of his sword and moved back as fast as I could, despite the heels. He lunged back at me, this time he decked me in the face. I landed on my side and pushed myself up. Now I was pissed. "You son of a bitch!" I yelled. Zero glared at me. Whoops. "Fine. You asshole!" I yelled, this time not accidentally criticizing Zero's mom. Before I could do much, the mofo ran off. "Next time I see him, I'm gonna kick his ass so hard he'll need to get my foot surgically removed." I growled. Zero's eyes widened. "What's wrong?" I asked. "I smell blood." he said. Oh damn. We dragged Zero to headmaster Cross, who looked horrified. I sighed, this night was really crappy now. My eyes widened as I remembered Takuma.
I rushed back to the dance hall. To my surprise, he was still there. I ran up to him. "What happened?" he asked, noticing the slight bruise on my cheek. "Oh nothing too bad, just Zero's pain in the ass twin.I mumbled. Takuma opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it, deciding to to ask any questions. "Sorry about ditching you, I had a feeling something bad was going to happen." I explained. "It's alright." he said with a smile on his face. We both walked outside and sat in the courtyard, looking at the stars. "This is nice." I mumbled. He grinned. "Yes it i-" he cut off, his smile wiped off of his face as his eyes widened in surprise and his jaw dropped. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Kaname's blood." he mumbled. Kaname? Blood? I thought it was impossible for pure blood's blood to be spilled. Takuma turned to me and smiled. "I have to go now." he said. I understood, he was worried about his friend. "Okay, I'm tired anyways." I said, returning the smile. He leaned in and kissed me softly. I returned the kiss, closing my eyes and wrapping my arms around his neck. I felt his arms snake around my waist, one hand rubbing my back up and down. We separated, much to my displeasure. He smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow." he said. "Bye." I said, watching him walk away. I couldn't help but think, there was no way Kaname was injured, so someone must have been drinking his blood. Also, Shizuka Hio knew about me, which scared me a little, how the hell she knew about me so much, I'll never know, Zero smelled her blood, claiming she was dead. I shrugged it off and walk to my dorm room, hoping things would get better in this school.
I didn't know that later my hopes would be crushed.
