A/N: So here's the second chapter. I know I promised one per week, but I couldn't resist updating when I have free time. ^w^
Have fun reading!
(P.S. Expect some explicit content sometime in the future, so just be careful with parental units around.) :)
Though sleeping oh-so well the night before, she woke up grumpy because of her roommate. The damned girl was always up sometime before seven.
"Shut... up!" She shouted, chucking a book on her nightstand at the girl's head and hitting it straight on.
"Ahh! What was that for?" She whined, tears forming in her eyes.
"Stop waking up so early! I swear I'll kill you someday." Setsuna glared at her before burying her head into her pillow and falling back asleep.
"Ugn… stupid P.E…." Setsuna grumbled as she galloped away on the horse. After falling back asleep that morning, she woke up once more at seven thirty to a cold glass of water in her face. Stupid roommates.
"Eyahh! Help!"
Shouts and screams had emerged as apparently, White Lily, had escaped. But not before kicking Yuuki in the ass, which made Setsuna burst into a fit of laughter. A few students eyed her as if she were crazy.
"You're ruining my nap..." Zero grumbled as White Lily jumped over him. He grabbed the reins and pulled himself up, calming speaking to the horse.
"Wow… Zero tamed White Lily," a few girls gossiped together as Zero rode silently on the horse.
"Showoff," Setsuna muttered before dismounting the house and walking him to the stable.
"This is why Zero's the only guy in the Day Class that can stare fearlessly at Kuran-senpai." Many Day Class boys smiled and gleamed at Zero's courage. She shook her head, putting the horse she was riding back into his stable.
"Good Soleil," she purred, petting the horse's gold mane. "You're so beautiful," she whispered into his ear, feeding him a carrot.
Soleil had been the only horse she wanted to ride ever since she first laid eyes on him. He was large, fast, had a large golden mane, and a seet honey colored coat.
Her cell phone vibrated and rang in her boot, singing out a depressing ringtone. She sighed and flipped it open.
"What is it now," Setsuna said in not a questioning tone, but an annoyed tone.
"Hamasaki-sama, there's an order for you to kill a Level E. He's to appear in town tomorrow."
"I see…. Very well then. I'll be on it," Setsuna replied to the man talking to her through cell phone. A beep signaled the call had ended.
The rest of classes had been very dull, and the routinely screams at twilight were especially annoying that day.
She was swiftly changing into a skin-tight black tank top, a par of black leggings, and high knee-length boots, in which she put two hunting blades. She threw on the Academy trench coat, thrusting in a whip to the inner pocket. In her waist belt was a sword spelled to kill Vampires, like all the other weapons hidden around the room.
"Yeah?" She flipped open the phone on the first ring.
"The Level E is appearing soon," the man ordered.
"Already on it." Setsuna flipped closed the phone and shoved it into her coat.
It had taken a little longer than expected to climb the unstable tree towering over the gates guarding the Academy. Once she was out, she started sprinting for the town.
As soon as Setsuna arrived into a noisy alley, she laid eyes on Zero and Yuuki, fighting off her assignment.
"Damned…" She grumbled before pulling out the sword and striding up behind the monster.
As she raised her arms to strike, she ended up severing the Level E in half at the same time as Ichijou Takuma.
"You didn't even need me..." Shiki mumbled.
"Ichijo Takuma and Shiki Senri of the Night Class... and Hamasaki Setsuna-san of the Day Class!" Yuuki gaped. "What are you doing here? Why did you kill the vampire-"
"Hush, Yuuki. Go get your wound treated, your blood is too provocative for us. Come to the Moon Dorms tonight, and we'll explain everything," Ichijou smiled, a finger against his lips.
"You took my assignment." She mumbled.
"Setsuna-chan, you can come too! It's my birthday party, and I would love to have a Day Classer there with me," Ichijou beamed at Setsuna.
"How did you get my... oh. Cross-san said my name." She swore under her breath. "But... I'm not allowed on the Moon Campus."
"Just accompany Zero and Yuuki," Shiki mumbled.
"Hamasaki is not going to the party, Ichijou." Zero groaned.
At that moment, her cell phone rang.
"Yeah?" She grumbled into the phone.
"Hamasaki, did you get the Level E?"
"Yeah yeah. Two Aristocrats are here too."
"Which ones?"
"Shiki Senri and Ichijou Takuma."
"Ichijou Takuma as in Ichijou Asato's grandson?"
"Yeah... why?" Setsuna raised an eyebrow at her boss over the phone, though she doubted he could see.
"No reason. Just... become friends with them, okay?" He didn't give her time to reply before hanging up. He was planning something, and Setsuna knew it.
"Who was it?" Yuuki asked.
"None of your business," Setsuna said before turning to Ichijou. "So uh... is that offer still up? For your birthday?"
"Yes!" He smiled enthusiastically.
"I'll go..." She mumbled shyly. "She had never really been to parties, only to monitor the major Vampire soirées. So was she supposed to dress formally? "I'll see you four later tonight then, I guess..." she walked away, waving behind her shoulder when one of them called out to her.
"So..." Setsuna blushed bright red as she put on the dressy top. It was scarlet red, strapless, and other than being a little tight around her breasts, it fell down loosely over her lower abdomen. She had put on a pair of jeans that snuggly hugged her legs and butt, and showed off her figure too. Her hair was wavy from being tied into a bun after she had washed it earlier that day, cascading in waves down her back.
"Why're you all dressed up? Hot date or what?" Her roommate teased, upside down on her own bed and reading a fashion magazine.
"None of your business," Setsuna retorted before grabbing the small knife and shoving it into her pocket. She was sure her roommate didn't see the weapon. "See ya," she mumbled before leaving.
As she arrived on the campus, she saw Yuuki and Zero, Zero preparing his gun. Yuuki was shouting at him to stop.
"Hello..." she mumbled, walking up closer to the two.
"Hi there Hamasaki-san," Yuuki smiled.
A breeze fell upon the three of them, and it grew quiet. Setsuna brought a hand to her pocket, thrusting out a knife just as Zero and Yuuki brought out theirs.
"We're just your escorts..." Aido said, his hands raised as if in surrender.
"Ichijou-san told us to escort you to the party so that nobody harms you," Kain added. The three of them put their weapons away and followed Aido, who was in the front and Kain lagged behind. Behind Aido stood Setsuna, and behind Setsuna stood Yuuki. Zero was behind Yuuki, looking down at her protectively.
"Ichijou, we've brought them," Kain said, ushering the three of them forward.
"Yuuki, Zero, Setsuna! Welcome to my party!" Ichijou beamed, breaking the awkward stares the five of them were getting from other Night Classers.
"Thank you for having me," Setsuna bowed out of habit. "It's so... extravagant."
"No need to bow, Setsuna-chan! I'm glad to have you," Ichijou smiled and handed her a drink. Setsuna graciously accepted it and sipped, finding it fizzing in her mouth. Champagne, no doubt.
"What did you want me to come here for?" Setsuna inquired quietly.
"Actually, we wanted to know why you were in town," Zero answered.
"I wanted to know why you were taking my job," Setsuna added.
"You're... job?" Yuuki asked, all confused.
"You... really don't know?" Setsuna was taken aback. She was expecting Yuuki to have already known about Hunters and why she was in town. "Oh... wow. You really are clueless, Cross-san."
Sooo...
