Chapter 2

"I can sense it. I won't have to wait long now." Said Kaname as he stared out of his bedroom window.


Kasumi woke up to the sound of Yuuki and Sayori shouting.

"Happy birthday and Happy Valentines Day!" they chorused

"Thanks you guys!" replied Kasumi smiling

"Here open my present first!" said Yuuki

Kasumi fiddled around with the wrapping paper and finally got it open. It was a gothic cross necklace.

"Wow Yuuki-chan I love it. Thank you so much!" she said putting it on.

"Okay now my present!" said Sayori

Kasumi opened her gift. It was a black rose hairclip.

"Arigatou Yori-chan. You guys are the best friends I could ask for!"

"We know!" they chorused

"Oh shoot! Sorry to leave you Yori-chan but Kasumi-chan and I have a prefect meeting to attend."

"Don't worry about it!" Sayori said smiling, "I'll just see you later then."

With that Kasumi and Yuuki got changed and made their way to his office. They walked in and found that Zero was already there.

"Yuuki-chan Kasumi-chan good morning! I was just telling Zero-kun about the importance of your duties today of all days" greeted the chairman

"If you ask me the event should be cancelled!" replied Zero

"Well it's a good thing that no-one asked you then Kiryuu-kun!" replied Kasumi, crossing her arms and turning away from him. Understandably she loved Valentines Day as it was her birthday too.

"Anyway I believe that it's important that the day class have the chance to give the night class chocolates if they want to as it will help humans and vampires to co-exist!" he said throwing his fist in the air as if he won something.

Suddenly everything went blurry in Kasumi's eyes and she almost fell.

"Are you okay?" Zero asked catching her and before she could reply he added, "I don't think she should be on duty. She still hasn't fully recovered from having Aidou bite her."

"Hey I'm fine Kiryuu-kun!" she said getting out of his arms

"Okay well I'm giving everyone the day off school to go into the town to prepare for this afternoon." The chairman finished

"Really! That's great!" smiled Kasumi. She could get something for Aidou as well as see her parents. She wanted to let Aidou know that she had forgiven him. She hadn't been around much and she didn't want him to think that she hated him. She went back to her room and put on her jacket. She would have asked Yuuki to come with her but she was busy making chocolates for Kaname. He would love them.

She made her way out of the gates and brought out her mobile. She dialled her dad's number and waited.

"Otou-sama! It's me. Can you please send someone to pick me up from school. I want to see you."

"Of course Kasumi. They'll be there immediately!"

"Thank you!" she hung up the phone. She didn't even have to wait a minute before a black limo appeared with her signature clan simble on its front. She got in and was driven to her house.

"Stop here for a minute please?" she asked as they passed the market in town. She wanted to buy Aidou a gift. She eventually found one she liked. It was a glass rose. It reminded her of the ice that he could make and of what his name meant. She got back in her car and they continued to her house.

"Otou-sama Okaa-sama!" she greeted. She ran up to them and hugged them

"Kasumi, it's great to see you. I'm so glad you came to visit but what did you want to talk about?"

They went and sat down in their living room.

"Well recently I've been having problems. I've been feeling ill. I would get really bad headaches sometimes or randomly get dizzy and almost faint. And being in the sun hurts my eyes. It's worrying me. But the most unbearable thing is this pain in my throat. I've tried everything to make it go away and I don't know what to do." She said leaving out the part about being attacked by Aidou

"Oh Kasumi," Ayame sighed, "Your vampire abilities are finally awakening. The ache in your throat means you're thirsty. You should go and see Kaname I'm sure he'd be more than happy to help you."

"Thirsty?" she questioned, "But I don't have any fangs?"

"Well that is kind of odd. I have to admit this is the first time I've heard of something like this happening. Maybe they'll grow out after you've had something to drink." Said Tajiro

"Really!" said Kasumi excitedly

They spent hours talking about life at school and other things before Ayame reminded Kasumi about school.

"Oh shoot! I need to get back!" she said worried

They all got up and made their way to the front door. As Kasumi was entering the car she noticed something.

"Okaa-sama are you pregnant?" she asked

Her mother blushed and answered, "Well your father and I get lonely without you here all year so…"

"Okay I understand. Bye I love you!"

"I love you too!" they said


When Kasumi arrived at the gates to the moon dorm. Everything was already set up. She quickly apologised for being late. The students of the night class came out and went to their gates to receive their chocolates. Kasumi was so busy making sure everything was in order that she knew she would never get a chance to give Aidou his gift. She was surprised when she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around and gasped, "Aidou-sempai!"

"I never got the chance to apologise to you."

"Oh it's alright don't worry about it!"

He shook his head, "Here I got you something because I know it's your birthday today." He lightly placed his gift in her hands and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you Aidou-sempai," she blushed, "I got you something too!" she brought out the glass rose and gave it to him.

"Hanabusa…" he whispered pointing to the petals

"I know, that's why I got it."

"No-one has ever put this much thought into a present for me. Thank you." He said. He positioned the rose so that it was poking out of the chest pocket on his blazer. He and the other night class students made their back to their dorms.

Later in her room Kasumi opened her present from Aidou. It was a flower hair ornament. She took off the one she was wearing at the moment and put his on. She changed out of her uniform and put on a t-shirt and skirt. She looked out of the window. It was already dark but she needed to see Kaname.

She walked all the way up to the front doors of the moon dorm and let herself in. the only person in the entrance hall was Aidou.

"Kasumi-chan why are you here? You're wearing it!" he said pointing to her hair ornament.

"Yes. It's beautiful. I need to see Kaname nii-sama."

"Of course I'll take you to his room."

She followed him up to his room and said goodbye to him. She timidly knocked on his door and waited for a response. She entered when he told her to come in.

"Kasumi, Happy birthday!" he said. He walked up to her and hugged her.

"Onii-sama I need your help." She said. His face suddenly went serious.

"What is it?" he asked

She told him about how she was suffering and how thirsty she was. They sat on the ground and then he cut a small wound on his neck and said, "Drink."

"But onii-sama, I don't have any fangs."

"I know. Just just suck from the wound I created before it closes up."
"Okay." She lowered her mouth to his neck and drank. She couldn't describe how she was feeling. It was like an adrenaline rush that she had never felt before. She felt her fangs grow out. Her eyes were glowing red when she moved back to look at him.

"So you're vampire abilities have awakened now."

"I'm so happy thank you so much!" she said but then she started crying

"What's wrong, didn't you just say you were happy?"

"I am. I'm overwhelmingly happy. I'm finally a normal pureblood vampire. I'm not a freak anymore."

Kaname understood that no words were needed so he just hugged her.

"Listen we need to see the chairman. You can't stay with the day girls anymore."

"It will be weird not seeing Yuuki-chan so often. Why does Kiryuu-kun get to stay, surely he's more dangerous than me?"

"Yes but he's in denial. I need to talk to the chairman about that too. And don't worry I plan on waking her up soon."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Yes my cousin will finally remember me!"
