Title : This War

Author : Identify

Chapter Three :

The past week flew by uneventfully. When I wasn't in class I was in my dorm with Yuuki, who had to make sure I ate and slept on a regular basis. My life was spiralling downward into this great pit of depression, and all I could think of was the fact that all this evidence turned my mind into a superstitious being. Believing in vampires ... but it was the truth. I was sure of it. Who else ... or more as ... what else could have drained Gené of her blood leaving bite marks? I had to snap out of it before this whole thing washed over as if nothing had happened. I had to prove that Aidou murdered her.

White light washed in through the curtains of the bedroom, hitting me directly in the face. I gasped, nearly falling out of my bed from the scare. I blinked. Someone was shining a flashlight through the window ... I looked over my shoulder; Yuuki was still sleeping soundly, her back facing me. I sighed in relief when the light moved away from the window. I crawled back into my bed and stared at the ceiling. The ceiling that Gené and I used to stare at together, talking about assignments at school, the Night Class guys, and how stupid our teachers were to give us homework on holiday weekends. How badly I missed her ... How badly I wished I could have made her stay home that horrid night.

A knock on the door banished any regretful thoughts. I shot up straight in my bed. First the light in the window and now someone knocking on our door? What was it? Two in the morning? I got out of bed, tip-toeing my way to the door. I looked through the peep-hole. There stood Shiki, one of the Night Class students. He was holding a flashlight. Figures.

I opened the door and pushed on him so he stepped back further into the hall. I shut the door behind me.

"Are you crazy? Yuuki would kill you if she figured you were at our dorm at two in the morning!" I hissed under my breath.

His eyes were startled at first, but quickly faded back to their usual calm state. "Komii, I need you to come with me." He reached for my hand but I took a step back.

"Why? What is this about?" I questioned, looking him straight in the eye; and like earlier it sent rabid chills down my spine. Such a chilling glare the Night Class students boar.

"It's about Gené ... and Aidou." He looked sincere.

I gulped, holding back tears that were threatening to spill over at the sound of her name. "O-okay ... "

I let him grab my hand this time, he was pulling me onto campus, toward the night dorms. It was cold outside, I shivered and rubbed my arm with my free hand. I probably should have grabbed a jacket ... But it was too late to go back now; we were already stepping inside the grand front room of the night dorm.

Shiki let my hand go and told me to sit on the sofa. I sat, obediently. Why was I listening to him? I should be asking questions, getting the information I craved. I had to ask about my superstitions, but was too much of a coward to even think the word around him.

That's when I noticed someone sitting down next to me. A guy with shaggy, dark brown hair and wine colored eyes that made my insides turn into mush. Kaname Kuran was seated beside me, his tall elegance made me feel like a small doll a little girl would play with sitting next to him. My face was hot, I switched my gaze to the ground when I found myself staring at him for too long.

"So, Komii," He finally spoke, his velvet voice sending goosebumps along the bare skin of my arms. "Have you put the puzzle pieces together?" He turned to me, his face sweet and genuine. I felt like I was going to heave.

"Uh ... ?" What was he talking about ... ? Puzzle pieces ... ?

"Have you put the evidence together ... to find out what we are?" His eyebrows raised in contemplation.

I blinked. Vampires. No, no, no. This can not be happening. I was just dreaming; my mind was just tired from the little sleep I've had. Soon I would wake up in my dorm ... and everything would be just fine.

My eyes squeezed shut and I counted a minute before re-opening them. And there sat Kaname, still looking at me in contemplation. I about fainted. Why was this happening to me? Why couldn't they have just told me Aidou had a sick mind and liked playing games? Why did he have to tell me they were ... inhuman?

"Komii?" He placed a strong hand on my leg, for comfort.

"Uh-huh." I nodded, not daring to look at him.

"Here," He sighed, wrapping a blanket over my shoulders and pulling me into his side.

I hadn't realized my teeth were chattering; whether from the cold or the realization I was sitting next to a vampire.

"Do you know?" He asked again, his voice gentle as he cooed into my ear.

I nodded, I couldn't speak.

A cool, long finger wiped some hair away from my neck. His thumb was drawing circles across my jugular vein. Oh God. I wasn't ready to die at the hands of a masochistic vampire. Well ... not yet at least. I had to prove Gené was murdered first. Then I could care less on what happened to me. Just as long as I knew she was resting easy somewhere.

"Listen to me, Komii," His mouth was pressed to my ear. "You cannot tell of what you know about us. Yuuki knows, so you can discuss it with her, but no one else."

I nodded; teeth still chattering.

"I'm going to put you into a deep sleep now; you need the rest. We will talk about this more tomorrow night." His lips pressed to my forehead.

And that's the last thing I remember before the world went blank.

I hope that wasn't too short for you guys. :O Well hope you enjoyed it! You know what to do if you want capter four; review! Thanks ^^;;
