Chapter 2: Waiting

"Ow!" Yūki cried out in pain as the Headmaster of Cross Academy bandaged her ankle.

"If you quit moving around so much it won't hurt." He said in a stern voice but it was leaning to the voice that's speaks to a little kid.

When Yūki saw that he was done with her ankle she jumped up, "Cool! Now I can…" she was pushed back into the chair by her adoptive-father.

"You're not doing anything for the next day or so. And besides you wouldn't want to catch a cold by running out in that storm." The Headmaster said in a scolding manor. Yūki glared out at the storm. Stupid storm if it weren't for you I would be in the mountains. I wonder who hates me up there?

Yūki needed someone to blame or at least someone to shout at. Her face heated up when she ran over her little accident in her mind again…

: Flashback:

Yūki was in a tree staring at a single spot in the sky. She didn't know why but she felt like something was going to happen. Something… big. She also seemed to hear something. Like a cry for help but at the same time it wasn't like that. She was so absorbed in her thoughts she didn't notice Kaname walking up to the tree.

When he spoke her name it startled her so badly she fell right out of the tree, but she managed to catch herself on the branch. Now the landing was different story. Before she knew what had happened, a sharp pain shot up her ankle. "Ouch!" she hissed, wincing as she tried to stand.

Immediately Kaname was kneeling next to her, "Are you alright, Yūki?" He said the worry showing through his voice.

"I think I sprained my ankle. " She admitted, embarrassment beginning to color her face.

: End Flashback:

Yep, it was his fault, as much as she hated to admit it, it was the truth. Now she wasn't able to see the crash site not only because of the rain but her ankle kept her back as well. It was almost as if he'd done it on purpose to keep her away from whatever it was. It wasn't fair! "Stupid Kaname-sempai." She mumbled.

Unfortunately for her a soaking Zero chooses that moment to walk into the room. He stopped, hearing what she had said, "Did you just say that? Wow, you sick or something? Never thought your hero could do anything to make you mad. What did Kuran do to mess up?"

Yūki glared at him "If I wasn't hurt," she said "I would kick you into next week for that remark."

That sobered him up, now he was scowling at her, "What did you do fall off the building?" His voice was insulting.

"No!" she yelled at him, "Just out of a tree." She mumbled the last part

Fortunately for Yūki the headmaster had noticed Zero's wet clothes and began to freak out over them. "Ah! Kiryū-kun, we have to get you out of those before you catch a cold!" This gave the silver-haired teen no time to chastise her further. With a sympathetic look at Zero, Yūki fled the room as best she could on her bad ankle.

The next day, Yūki was in her room in the Headmaster's house with her best friend Sayori. What were they doing? That was an easy question. They were working on the dreaded thing we call 'homework'. They were both sitting on her bed with math books and papers in front of them and Yūki was becoming more and more frustrated by the minute.

"Oh! Why did you have to bring this blasted stuff home to me?!" Yūki cried. The temptation to throw the textbook out the window was becoming stronger by the second.

Sayori sighed, her head shaking a bit, "I already told you the teachers said that you had to do it or get a zero." She said in her soft voice.

Yūki frowned, "Well you could have said you lost it or something."

"That's call lying Yūki. And you know it."

"Well you could of 'accidently' lost it"

"Yūki…"

"Fine! I get the point. I just don't want to do math. You know I suck at it."

A moment of silence passed over them until, "Yori…"

"Yes, Yūki."

"Did you see anything strange last night? "

Yori looked up at her best friend in confusion, "No, should I have seen anything?"

Yūki started, "No! There was nothing to see. I was just a bit curious…" She trialed off, remembering the previous night and once again that urge to go find out what had happened in the mountain washed over her. They lapsed back into a semi-productive silence, with Yūki grumbling to herself about the stupid math.

Yūki was sitting on the edge of her bed getting ready to test her ankle. "Okay there is no reason for me to not go on patrol or look at the meteor tonight. So here we go," she gingerly placed her weight on her foot. When her ankle did not protest a rush of joy swept through her.

Yes! I'm free to go. With a smile she rushed out of the house as quickly as she could, heading for the stables.
