Chapter 5:
Ruri's POV
Dream:
" Ishi-sama is defiantly one of a kind. Better than Rima-sama." I heard the maids chatter to themselves as I passed by one of the hallways of the mansion. I was still 2 years old that time. I was skipping down the hall wearing a sleeveless light blue dress decorated with ribbons and ruffles. Behind me was my nanny Liza, she was the one who raised me since my mother won't even lay a finger on me. But I'm already used to it ever since I was just a few months old at that time. You see most of the maids say that I'm a lot better than Rima which is preferably not true. She's prettier, more popular and is loved by my parents and grandparents, who despise me. I stopped in front of the grand ballroom door, today was Rima's 4th birthday which my parents celebrate by inviting the whole entire council, while mine is only celebrated alone but I have friends now, Fuyu and Haro-nii. I was allowed to come since of course I was part of the family but has to keep a distance from my parents, grandparents and of course Rima. Why you ask? Because they don't want to be embarrassed by me in front of the whole society. I entered the ballroom my shoes tapping on the marble floor. I looked around a bit irritatingly since I was swarmed by some level C aristocrats. In the middle of the ballroom was my parents and Rima who smiled smugly at me. I walked to the corner while looking around for Fuyu and Haro-nii. I shrugged my shoulders when I didn't see a single sign of them. Maybe they weren't allowed to go. I kept walking to the corner with the level Cs that swarmed me when I got inside. I sat on one of the chairs on the corner then looked at the people dancing. I caught sight of Rima dancing in the center of the room with a red haired boy who I recognized as Shiki Senri. I was already getting bored since I have no one to talk to. The level Cs are just useless to talk to. I sighed and looked around again. In the other side of the room was Ruka, Kain and Aidou. I frowned and hopped off my chair and went out of the room and straight to the garden, my favorite place. I walked to the middle of the garden where a HUGE fountain stood, there was also a wooden bench and a lot of roses surrounding it. I inhaled the fresh scent of roses then I heard footsteps coming.
"Aren't you supposed to be inside?" I turned around and saw Shiki. I cocked my head to the left.
"I was bored." I answered while looking away trying to hide my blush. I don't deny the fact that I have a crush on the guy, who's also my sister's best friend. But think Rima also has a crush on him too.
"I guess so. It's really pretty dense too. I don't really like crowds. You should be inside."
"No way. Just like you said it's dense and it's crowding." Then I heard another song play that made me want to dance but I kept the feeling. As if someone is going to ask me to waltz with him or something. I started to walk to my room when I heard him say:
"Dance with me."
I was startled with that. Having the urge to say yes instead I said:
"Why would you want to dance with me? You could dance with Rima-nee than me." I said in a blank tone
"Rima is in the middle of a crowd and has to dance with every guy in the room. I already danced with her and besides we're both bored." He replied. I hesitated at first but just made my way to him.
"Not here someone might see us." He said with such ease
"Huh? Why?"
" Nothin' it just won't you feel obnoxious when someone sees us here like goofs." He said with the slightest smile on his face, that I couldn't see since he had his back at me. He walked to the maze where the moon was visibly shown. I just followed; I just noticed how loud it was in the ballroom since the music was still heard from here. He stopped when we reached the middle of the maze. He stopped and looked at me who was a few feet behind him. He smiled slightly before walking to me. His upper body bended slightly with his left hand in his stomachs the other holding out.
"May I have this dance milady?" He asked, grinning. I was surprised on how his personality changed in short, ITS SO UNLIKE HIM!!!! But in the end I gave in and smiled.
"Of course." I replied. And that was a start on my hidden friendship with Shiki.
End of Dream
I woke up stumblingly when the car screeched to a halt. A strong arm was wrapped around me to keep me from falling. I looked from where the arm came from. (From the left) As usual Jun was there looking at me with his sleepy eyes. I pulled myself up and ruffled his hair playfully.
"Hey Ruri, stop it will you." Jun complained. I smiled slyly and stopped ruffling his now a bit curled hair. (A/N: Jun's normal appearance looks like Kamui from tsubasa chronicle. In formal events and when going out of the academy, has Subaru's hairstyle. Weird right?) I saw him stretch in his position while the door just snapped open.
"HEY BOTH OF YOU GET OUT OF THE DAMN CAR ALREADY OR ELSE YOU'LL BE LATE!" our manager Hiromasa Honda (first name, surname).
"Calm down Masa-san it's still 2pm. Classes don't start until 6pm." (We actually don't know what time it starts T_T) Jun said calmly while stepping out of the car.
"JUST GET YOUR LAZY BUTTS INTO THE ACADEMY." He said and kicked Jun's back. I chuckled in amusement. Jun well being in 'sleepy mode' just glared at Masa-san. Sighing I went ahead to moon dorms leaving a cranky Jun arguing with Masa. I entered the dorm yawning.
"I know you went on a photo shoot but it's simply too much. You aren't going to get any sleep at this point."
I looked up and on the railing of the stairs there stood Ruka, my newly announced best friend. We started to become friends when it was 2 weeks after we arrived. So after staying for a good 2 years did do something nice. Deo-nii started to hang out with Aidou and Kain, Jun usually sticks around Ichijou and me is friends with Ruka and Seiren.
"Blame it on Masa-san. He's the one making us work." I said while walking to the stairs.
"What happened to Jun? Wasn't he with you when you came back?"
"He's currently throwing a fit at our manager for kicking his back. He's cranky when he doesn't get enough sleep you know."
"I see."
Shiki's POV
Dream:
"Where are you going Shiki?" I heard Rima's voice and turned around.
"Outside." I went straight outside to the forest, the place where we always meet. I decided to tell her today about my feelings but I think not to. First of all it's because she's turning 3 in a week and I'm just well 4. Too young if you ask me. And second she's the younger sister of my best friend. Maybe it's better if I just hide it and confess when we're older. I reached the middle of the forest and waited for her to show up from playing with that Fuyu and Haro. I heard some rustling in the bushes and I saw her, well I just saw the ribbon, I gave, that is used to tie her hair.
"Shiki!" Ishi tackled me to the ground. Really active as always.
"What took you so long?"
"It's really hard to run away from Haro-nii when playing." She said looking up at me with innocent eyes.
"Alright." I got her off me and stood up and dusted my pants." Why did you want to meet me today?"
"I made a new friend but I don't know if I would see her again. Hey Shiki."
"Hm?"
"Do you know a vampire named Yuki?"
"Nope. Is that the name of your friend?"
"Yep. When I met her today she said it was her first time outside from their house."
"Really?" I heard her stoop up and hugged me from behind.
"Shiki could you promise me?"
"Promise you what?"
"No matter what happens, wherever we go to even we're separated we'll always be friends. Would you promise me that?"
"I- I, of course." I turned around and hugged her back. "Forever….."
End of Dream
I sat up from my bed while clutching my head. That dream was a memory of her when she was still here. I looked at the calendar, the date today was encircled. Now I remember today was the day they went missing. I looked outside the window ignoring the painful rays of the sun. It was almost twilight. I walked to the bathroom thinking of Ishi
