Forever
Chapter Two
Love Blossom
--Next Morning--
As I woke up, I could see that Kaname was still sitting on the chair but sleeping. I took the bed covers and put it on him. I tried getting off the bed myself but I failed to do so. It seems like my ankle still hurts if I walk again. When I tried again, the pain shot on my ankle and I yelped. This woke up Kaname. Kaname saw that I was on the floor. He helped me up and said:
" You should not put pressure on your right foot for two days or so, then it would be okay to walk" he explained.
"If you do not mind, I can take you to the classroom today since you can not walk." He said.
"No, it is okay. I can manage myself." I replied.
"Are you sure? Maybe you should take a day off from school for two to three days then you don't have to walk around." He said.
"But today is my first day of class.." I said.
"It is okay. I will talk to the headmaster. He would understand." He replied.
"Thank you so much." I said.
"Welcome. It is my pleasure." He said
I blushed as he said that.
"You should stay here for the time being. I need to take care of something so I would come later to check how you are doing." He said.
"Okay. See you later." I replied.
"See you later." He replied before exiting the room.
As Kaname exited the room, I lie back in bed and suddenly I remembered something. Before I went into a deep sleep, I think I felt Kaname kissed me on the forehead. Though I am not sure if I was just dreaming at that time or not but it felt real. I could still feel the tingling sensation on my forehead. As I lie in the bed, I feel like sleep was going to take over me again. Maybe it was because I did not sleep well last night. Even though I did fell asleep before Kaname did but I did wake up a few times due to having nightmare. The more I was thinking about the nightmare, the more I got scared. To get the nightmare out of my mind, I decided to sleep again to replenish my energy.
--6:00PM--
When I was sleeping, I could feel a hand lulling me into a deep sleep. Due to sleeping too much today, I woke up. Kaname was sitting on the chair taking care of me. He was a little startled that I suddenly woke up. Then he said:
"Sorry, did I wake you up?" he asked
"No, I was thinking of waking up already." I said.
" How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I am fine. My ankle does not hurt that much anymore." I said.
"I am glad to hear that." He replied.
Then I started trying to get up myself. When I tried to stand properly, my ankle does not hurt anymore. Kaname saw that my ankle is fully healed and said:
" You have a really fast recovering rate." He said.
"Maybe. I was like that since I was young. The injuries I implicated on myself healed a lot faster than normal humans do. I always wonder why though. It seems like my family knows why but never tell me. They seem to be hiding something from me." I said sadly.
"I am glad to see that you have recovered." He said happily.
"Thank you for taking care of me last night. I really appreciate that. Maybe I should tell the headmaster that I could resume going back to class" I said.
" I think you should still take the two days off since your ankle just healed, we should let it rest a little." He said.
"You are right. Hmm…What should I do in the two day break?" I said
"You can stay here if you want." he said.
"No! I cannot do that I would just be bothering everybody." I said.
"No, you would not be a bother. Please stay." He said convincingly.
"But…Okay, I would stay." I said.
A voice coming outside of the room said:
"Kaname-sama, it is time to start going to class."
"Thank You, Ichijou." He replied.
Then he turned back to me and said:
"If you do not mind, you can come to class with us. I do not mind."
"Okay." I replied.
Then suddenly he put his arms around me. As we walked out of the room, he kept his arms around me. Then I asked:
"Sorry for asking but since my ankle is healed, why are still putting your arms around me?"
"I was thinking that your ankle might need some rest so maybe it is best to not apply too much pressure on it" he said.
"I see. Thank you," I replied.
"My pleasure." He replied.
This made me blush again. Before we started going, he went out of the room for me to change into my uniform. Then we started walking to the main hall where everyone is gathered. As I walked down those set of stairs, I could feel someone glaring at me. Kaname also noticed that as well and told her to stop it. As we walked out of the moon dorms, there were always girls screaming. As I walked past the girls, they said:
"Konbanwa, Tenjou-san."
I nodded to them as a reply. In the crowd, I could see Sakuno and Ryoma looking for me. Since I do not want to worry them, I decided to talk to them. Then I turned to Kaname and said:
"Sorry Kuran-san, it seems like my friends are worried about me. I would like to talk to them about what happened yesterday."
"Sure. Be sure to come back in later. I would tell Ichijou to stay outside so he can escort you in later." He replied.
"Thank you. See you later." I said
"See you later." He replied.
Then Kaname walked away. I stood there watching him walking into the Moon Classroom Building. As I look in the crowd, I found Sakuno and Ryoma. I ran towards them. Then I said:
" Ryoma! Sakuno!" I yelled.
"Sakura, where were you for the whole afternoon? We could not even find you in class? What happened?" they asked me all at once.
I explained to them what happened last night. Then they said:
"How are you?" they asked.
"I am fine." I replied.
" We are not referring to that, you know what we are talking about." They said
"I am fine. I just could not believe how I could get over it so fast since Syusuke and I have gone through a lot to be together." I said.
"Then why are you still wearing the key to the lock?" they asked.
"The reason is because I would like to use something to remind me of our memories together. Really! I am fine." I replied.
"I see. So where are you going?" they asked.
"I am going to the night class." I replied.
"Why are you going to the night class?" they asked surprisingly.
"Last night, my ankle was swollen so I took three days off. Kaname-san helped me to inform the headmaster. Now that it is fully healed, I was still thinking of taking off the other two days off to let my ankle rest." I said.
"So when will you return to class or the Sun Dorms?" they asked.
"Two days later." I replied.
Then I could see that Ichijou-san gave me a sign that says I have to go in now. So I turned to them and said:
"Sorry I have to go now. I would contact you through cell-phone, okay? See you in two days." I said.
"See you." They replied.
I run to the entrance of the moon classroom building so I would not keep Ichijou-san any longer. As we walk to the classroom, Ichijou said:
"Hi! Tenjou-san I am Ichijou Takuma, the vice president of the Moon Dorms."
"Hi! Nice to meet you!" I replied.
"If I am being too straight, I'm sorry but I want to know something." He said.
"Oh it is okay, what is it?" I asked.
" Do you like Kaname?" he asked.
"I…." I stuttered.
" Do not be afraid to tell me. I would not tell him, I promised." He said.
"Nm" I replied softly.
"Sorry, I cannot hear you." he said
"Yes, I do" I replied blushing furiously.
"I see." He replied.
"But I know my love will not be returned." I said sadly.
" Why would you think that?" he asked curiously.
"Because the way he looks at Yuuki-san already gives it off. The one he loves is Yuuki-san not me." I said sadly.
" I see. Even though do not give up." He said cheerily.
" Nm" I replied.
We reached the classroom and went inside. I could see that is seated already. Ichijou-san told me to sit next to Kaname, who did not seem like he notice that I arrived. Ichijou told me to wait here first and walked up to Kaname and said:
"Kaname, I talked with Tenjou-san just now about you. You should try sorting out your feelings before Yuuki-chan or Tenjou-san gets deeply hurt by your indecisive attitude." he said.
" I know. I am a little confused too on who I really love." Kaname replied.
Then Ichijou-san turned to me and said:
"Tenjou-san, it is alright to come up now"
"Hai!" I replied.
As I sat next to Kuran-san, I could feel that my heart is beating really hard. It is the first time that I could sit so close to him. Before I could ask Kuran-san something, the door to the classroom opened. The teacher told everyone to take his or her seats.
After class, Kuran-san told me that he need to do something so I can go back to the Moon Dorm. Ichijou would return to the Moon Dorm with me. I entered into Kuran-san's room. Did not know what to do, I decided to wait for him. As I wait for him, my eyelids start to feel heavy so I fell into a deep sleep. After an hour or so, Ichijou entered into Kuran-san's room. He saw that I fell asleep so he puts the cover over me. This stirs me from my sleep and I eventually woke up. When I open my eyes, I could see Ichijou-san instead of Kuran-san. This surprised me and I asked:
"Ichijou-san, What is the matter?"
" I was wondering if Kaname returned yet or not but it seems like he did not." He said.
" What is the matter?" I asked.
" I would like to give him something to sign." He replied.
"I see. How about I try going out to fine Kuran-san." I said.
" No, it is okay. I can wait." He replied.
"It's okay since I have nothing to do. I was planning to go for a walk outside when I wake up." I said.
"Okay but be careful." He said.
--Outside the Moon Dorms--
As I was finding Kuran-san, I kept on walking everywhere to see where he is. As I walk closer to the Moon Classroom building, I could hear two voices. As I approach closer, I could see that it was Kuran-san and Yuuki.
"Kaname-sempai, I love you!" she asked.
"Thank you, Yuuki. I love you too-"Kaname said.
Before I could hear the last part to it, I ran out but I fell down. Kaname and Yuki turned around to see who it was. They saw that it was I. Kaname look shocked. Yuuki walked over to me and tried to help me up but I said:
"It is okay. I can get up myself"
With that I ran before Kuran-san can say anything. As I ran and ran, I finally stopped. The tears streamed down like a river. I do not know how long I have cried. Suddenly, a hand grabbed me by my shoulders. When I turn around, what I saw was very shocking. A human with two fangs in his mouth was trying to drag me away. Before he can drag me away, I screamed. I tried prying off his hand off my shoulders but I failed to do so. Then the vampire's grip on my shoulder got harder and my shoulder started to bleed. Before I could say anything, the vampire said:
" You better not move and do what I say. Out master wants me to bring you to him. You better cooperate."
"Why does you master what to do with me?" I asked.
"So you do not know. That means your family have been keeping this secret from you." The vampire said.
"What secret? What are you talking about?" I asked.
"Then let me tell you. You were told by your family that your mother have passed away seven years ago right?" the vampire asked.
"What about it?" I asked.
"That is a lie. Your mother did not die." The vampire said.
"What?" I said unbelievably.
"Do you know about the story of an angel that fell from the sky and married a human?" the vampire asked.
"Yes, I do. What has that suppose to do with me?" I asked
"That angel is your mother." the vampire replied.
"Your mother picked you out of your older siblings to continue her lineage so you have the powers and blood of an angel." The vampire explained.
"My mother is alive? Where is she?" I asked in anxiety.
"She is in the Angel World" the vampire answered.
"Know that you know about the secret, you would know why my master wants you know. So you better not do anything and come with me" the vampire said.
"No. I do not want to. Get your hands off me." I said.
Then I got free of his grip on my shoulder by kicking the vampire on his stomach hard. Since I have learned how to fight when I was young to protect myself. When I was running, I started to feel nausea due to the loss of blood. Before I collapse, I heard three footsteps approaching me. I thought that it would be the vampire's people so I started to run faster. Then a voice yelled my name. I turned around and saw that it was Kuran-san along with his companion, Ichijou and Yuuki.
" Are you okay? What happened? Why is your shoulder bleeding?" Kaname asked.
"A vampire got hold of me and I escaped from it. He was chasing me after I hot out of his hold." I said as I grip my shoulder.
" We should get you to the Moon Dorms to take care of the wound." Ichijou said to Kaname.
When Kaname carry me in his arms, I feel could feel my cheeks blushing really hard because he told me to lean on his chest so my shoulder's injury would not be worse. When he was walking to the moon dorms, I kept on staring at him and he caught me. I was so embarrassed that I stop starting at him. Then I thought back to what the vampire said. He said that my mother is alive. She did not die! She is still alive somewhere in the Angel World! Tears started to form in my eyes and it dropped on Kaname's uniform. It seems like he noticed that I am crying.
"Are you okay? Is your shoulder wound bothering you?" he asked in concern.
"No, it is just that I am glad that my mother is still alive. I have always thought that she is dead already." I said while I was crying.
" I see. I am glad to hear that." Kaname said.
When we arrived in front of the Moon Dorm, Ichijou opened the door for Kaname. When we entered into the dorm, there were people waiting in the dinning room already.
"Who is this girl, Kaname-sama?" asked the girl in the long hair
"She just transferred here yesterday. Her name is Tenjou Sakura." He replied.
Before anyone can ask Kaname any more questions, he walked up the set of stairs that lead to the second floor along with Ichijou. As I think about what Kaname said to Ichijou, my heart once again aches. What I saw earlier even hurt me more. I don't know what to do. I could not face Kuran-san. Neither do I know what to say to him anymore. As we enter into his room, he placed me down on his bed. He told Ichijou to bring houtai. He told me to take off the top part of the clothes so he can treat the wound. As I was taking off my clothes, I was blushing furiously. As he started to clean my wound, I could see that he is trying his best to do it as gently so it would not hurt me. As I looked at him, tears started to drop from my eyes. He seems to notice that too and ask:
"Does it hurt? I am really sorry." He said in concern.
"It does not hurt." I said.
"Then why are you crying?" he asked.
I did not say anything. Neither did I give me any eye contact. Kaname knew it was about. I saw the scene between Yuuki and him together. Before I could say anything, Kaname said:
"Sakura-san, I think you have misunderstand what has happened before you got attacked. At that time, Yuuki was confessing her love to me but I rejected her. I said that I love her too but it is brother sister love. I told her that the one I love is you. At first I was not sure since I have loved Yuuki before your arrival but after I see your hurt and tear-stained face, I know that I love you."
As he said those words, I could not help but cry out of happiness. I could not help but throw myself into his arms. He wrapped his arms around me and said:
"I love you, Sakura."
" I love you too, Kuran-san. Ever since I met you, I really love you." I said as I was crying.
"Please do not cry. I am sorry that I have hurt you." he said apologetically.
"Please do not say that. It is myself that is at wrong. I jumped in to conclusion and misunderstood Kuran-san." I said apologetically.
"It is okay but there is one thing." He said.
"What is it?" I asked while I wiped my tears.
" Do not call me Kuran-san anymore. Call me Kaname." He said.
"Hai." I replied.
"We have to treat the wound now." Kaname said.
Suddenly Ichijou knocked on the door and said:
" I have brought the bandages"
"Thank you, Ichijou. Just place them on the chair near my bedroom." He replied
"Okay." He said as he walked out of the office.
Kaname started treating my wound again. As he put on the medicine, it sting so much that I yelped in pain. He apologizes but I said that I am okay. After applying the medicine on my wound, he went out to get the bandages. He came back in less than half a minute and started wrapping the bandages around my shoulder. After that I put my clothes back one. Since it is already too late and I was starting to get sleepy, Kaname turned to me and said:
"If you do not mind, I want you to transfer to the night class. After what happened, I am worried about you"
"But what about Sakuno and Ryoma?" I asked.
"They could also transfer into here too if you want too" he replied
"Okay but which room would I stay in?" I replied and asked.
"You can stay here if you want." He replied
"Really?" I asked happily.
"Yes, you could" he replied.
I was so happy that I fell back onto the bed that I forgot that I injured my shoulder. Kaname then said:
"Be careful. You do not want the wound to open again."
"Hai. Gomen nasai." I said.
Then he tucked me in bed.
" It is late already. You should sleep now." he said.
"How about you? I asked
" I am sleeping too but I am sleeping on the couch." He said.
"I see." I said with disappointment in my voice.
Kaname could sense the disappointment in my voice so he said:
"If you want to, I can stay by your side," he said.
"I want to." I replied happily.
So Kaname dragged the chair beside the bed. Before I drifted into sleep, Kaname kissed my forehead and said:
"Sweet Dreams"
