As Yuki sat quiety in her desk and took out her notebok and pencils, she noticed that the new girl, previously from the night class had been staring her down.
"I'm Ruka, you must be Yuki Kuran" She said in a rude, snob-like tone of voice, implying that she had some feelings of dislike towards Yuki.
"Actually, I'm Yuki Cross" Yuki said as she gathered her stuff. "Well no matter who you are, Kaname will never fall for you, he loves me" she said with a smirk and a malicious, hateful look in her eyes.
Yuki moved to another desk and ignored Ruka frequently giving her dirty looks.
After the bell rang, Yuki went outside to her next class and waited for the door to open. Ruka tapped her on the shoulder, she, annoyed and nervous, turned around to see what she wanted. "You know, I -am- a vampire" She said in the same snobby tone. Yuki ignored her and went to class. Her; a vampire? Right.
When class was over, she went to Kaname's room for tea. She told him about her encounter with Ruka, "Interesting..." He said, unamused as he poured piping hot tea. "Girls and their drama" He said as he took a large sip. He set his cup down and blinked because steam got in his eyes. "Who is Ruka?" Yuki asked. Kaname silently stared at Yuki for a minute or so, poured a cup of tea and set down the steaming kettle. He handed a cup to Yuki, "For you.." he said as he smiled at her. He picked up his cup and leaned back in his chair like he was planning on sitting for a long time. "She was a childhood friend of mine, and a stalker at that, we had a fallout 20 years back" Kaname sipped his tea and spun in his chair. He opened the dresser behind him. "See?" He points to 2 beautiful looking girls in a picture he took out of the drawer. "Who is that?" Yuki asked.
"Shizuka Hio, you remind me of her in a way" He said. "Her and I were perfect together, she was best friends with Ruka, until her and I fell in love, and Ruka couldn't handle it" Kaname trailed off as he put the photo back in the drawer and shut it.
"Well, what happened then?" Yuki was concerned.
Kaname spun around in his chair, facing Yuki.
"Shizuka and I were planning on getting married, and Ruka was in love with me, and didn't approve, so on the night of our wedding, she snuck in her room and killed her" Kaname said with almost no emotion. He's been around for so long that he's seen so many people die. "How did Shizuka become a vampire?" Yuki asked.
"She... was bitten by Zero Kiryu's father" Kaname replied.
"Well what happened then?" Yuki wanted to know more about this, maybe then she'd understand the hatred.
"It's nothing..really." Kaname said nervously.
"Tell me.." Yuki said in a stern tone.
"She... she bit Zero on the night of her death... to get back at her killer."
Kaname replied as though he didn't want to tell, "Also, she had young daughter...about 4 years old at the time, she dropped her daughter off in a forest, because she knew that Zero's tribe was going to kill her whole family... and then, she died, but she knew it was coming" Kaname continued, he seemed like he wanted to tell someone about this, like something depended on it. "That is very sad," Yuki said as she took a small sip of her tea.
"Do you know who your parents are?" Kaname asked. Yuki quickly set down her drink.
"Uhm, no. But I have this picture of my mother, all I have to remember her by was this little picture." She took the picture out of her coat pocket and showed Kaname. He looked at it for a few seconds, and Yuki put it back in her pocket. "Almost as beautiful as you," He said.
Yuki felt quite flattered by that comment and kissed Kaname on the cheek.
"Did your family approve of Shizuka?" She asked. Kaname smiled, "Well, no, she attacked Zero, and my family wanted her and her family killed" He said with a devious grin.
"Maybe I should leave now, before we get caught together, thanks for everything" Yuki said as she kissed Kaname goodbye, and walked out.
As she was walking back to her room, she spotted headmaster Kaine. "Who was Shizuka Hio?" She asked, he stopped and thought for a moment, "I didn't know her" he answered, it sounded so insincere, it didn't satisfy Yuki one bit, it more or less angered her.
"Who was she? Is there anything you know?" Yuki demanded.
"She left a daughter behind and we took her in... no one knows who she is, she was too young to explain, and Zero was the only one who knew the girl's true identity" He said, "Now go inside"
"Wait!" Yuki called as he walked away. "What now, Yuki?" He turned and give her an uninterested look.
"How did Zero know?" Yuki asked.
"He was the one who found the girl"
"Who could it be?"
"Could be anyone here, Ruka, Maria, you, maybe even Kaname" He chuckled and walked away.
"It could be me.." Yuki said under her breath.
