Chapter 7: Attacked
Yūki's mind was still reeling. Never in her imaginings would this of happened. Kaname had found her little dragon, but now everything was working out better than she had even dreamed to hope. She never would have thought that Kaname would have offered to keep her hatchling in the Moon Dorms.
Now when she wanted to see Glaydier she just had to go to the Dorm. There she would find her baby dragon making himself quite the mascot.
The Hatchling was very fond of the Night Class students. Ruka would scratch him behind the ears while she worked. Shiki and Rima gave him sweets (he was fond of Pocky, especially if it had belonged to Aido). Kain's shoulders were a good place for a nap. Aido was great to play with (and by play with we meant to play tricks on). And Takuma read manga with him. But during class most of the time he was either on Kaname's shoulders or he sat curled at his feet. The gold dragon favored Kaname over everyone else. The Pureblood was the only other being in the school that he listened to other than Yūki.
But Kaname was putting off the inevitable… he would have to call her sooner or later. Of course he'd prefer later. Sometimes he'd stare at his phone fighting the inner battle to call the one person who could help Yūki with her Dragon. He knew he would lose it soon. But he also knew if he called that horrible person Yūki would be involved in some things that he hoped to protect her from. Why did that egg have to show up? Now everything was a mess.
The night that cinched it was a pretty normal night, Kaname was laying on his favorite couch reading. Glaydier was resting contentedly on top of the couch, his golden tail hung down swinging slightly. The sounds of Ruka and Aido arguing in the halls filtered faintly through the door. Then Glaydier jerked his head up, silver eyes scanned the room for what had tipped of his senses. A presence had come into the school. A faint impression filled his mind, He had felt this presence before and it meant trouble. The dragon closed his eyes and focused. Fear shot through him; Yūki was in trouble.
Kaname had drifted off into a small doze, but he was jerk back into awareness when Glaydier jumped onto the vampire's stomach. "Hey." He scolded, "You can't just-" he cut off his lecture. Something was in the school. A strong aura of bad magic had invaded the campus. He got up and walked on to the balcony. The pureblood sniffed the air. Panic, utter panic, he couldn't remember the last time he had felt this degree of panic. Demons! They found Yūki!
Yūki knew she was in trouble. They had come out of nowhere, looming out of the shadows. There were three of them; almost as tall as the trees and blending in with their shadows. She had whipped out Artermis but was not sure her staff would do much good against these creatures. Another thing that was odd was that they were like the monsters in the dream she'd had the night Glaydier hatched.
"W-who are you?" she asked them.
"Where is it?" one hissed, "Where is the egg?"
Before she could answer she felt someone grab her from behind. She was pulled into familiar arms, her face pressed against white fabric. There were a lot of screeches and she hears a sound like roaring wind, but she felt safe in the warm embrace. When the noise died away she was held out at arm's length. "K-Kaname-sempai!"
"Did they hurt you?" he asked her. She could only shake her head. "Did they say anything?"
"T-they were looking for something. I think they were looking for Glaydier's egg. Kaname-sempai, what were those things? I had a dream and-"
"What dream?"
"The night Glaydier hatched. I had a dream and those things were in it. There was this girl I think she had Glaydier's egg. It's hard to remember, but I think she sent the egg through some wired tornado but-"
"Yūki." Kaname's voice broke her from her rambling, "Listen to me, take Glaydier and go to your Father's house and stay there. Tell him what happened and that I'm calling an old friend."
"Who?"
"He'll know who I'm talking about. Stay there with the dragon till I come for you. Understand?"
Yūki found she could do nothing but nod. She felt Glaydier wrap himself around her shoulders and she patted his head. She began to walk in the direction of the Headmaster's house. She paused after a few feet, "Kaname-sempai?"
"Yes, Yūki?"
"What were they?"
For a moment she thought he wasn't going to answer. But when he did she wished he hadn't, "Demons, they are demons."
Kaname was glaring at his phone. He didn't want to do this. Brining that person there, especially under these conditions would involve Yūki in the world he'd hopped to hide her from for so long. But of the Demons were targeting her he had no other option. He dialed and waited for her to pick up.
"Hello?"
"It's Kaname. I-"
"Well, isn't this a surprise. I never thought I'd hear from you again. Is there a boring social function you need me to go with you to, because if that's it I'm-"
"No, it's nothing like that."
"Good, cause I would have said for you to take a long walk off a short pier. I told you after that last disaster that I refuse to help you anymore like that."
"I'm aware. But rest assures you are saved from fancy dresses and annoying nobles."
"Praise, Elohim. Then why ya calling me. It doesn't sound like it's a social call."
"Unfortunately, it's not."
"You need me to save your sorry ass again?"
"Not me, I'm fine, it's about Yūki."
"She okay?"
"For now. She found a Dragon egg and it hatched and the demons are after it. She was attacked tonight."
"Kuso!(1) Seriously, my Lord, can't that girl just stay out of trouble for five minutes."
"Apparently not."
"Yeesh. So you need me to come take the dragon away."
"Only if you have to, Yūki's rather attached to it."
"Fine. I'll come with the entourage."
"There's only three of you. How is that an entourage?"
"So picky, if I want to call it an entourage I shall."
"When will you arrive?"
"Don't know. Depends on when my entourage arrives. Anywhere from two days to a week."
"Very well, try to hurry. I don't know when they will attack again."
"Just keep on your toes. Janae!"
The line went dead. Kaname set the phone on his desk and sighed. He really didn't want her to come, but there was no helping it. Yūki needed help and as annoying as she may be; she was the only one who could help them now. The vampire laid out on his couch and began to mentally prepare himself for his best friend's invasion.
