chapter 6: the night dorm
the trip to the night dorms was a quick one, but, Kagome, tired from all the action, fell asleep in kaien's arms. even though it was about 11 pm, most of the vampires were up. when kaien entered the dorms, the vampires looked and asked about the woman in his arms, but kaien went straight upstairs to the room, only replying that she was a guest.
before leaving the dorms, he beckoned to Kaname and said, "please take care of her, Kaname. she's a very important person to me."
"..yes, headmaster." Kaname replied, curiosity briefly filling his monotonous eyes.
in Kagome's room, Kagome's face was twisted in pain and suffocation as she writhed about. a huge shadow was looming over her.
it was a nightmare demon, which sucks the dreams and happiness out of a sleeper's mind.
rido, who was strolling past the hallway beside her room, heard kagome's short breaths of air and came bursting in. when he came into the room, the demon fled in fear of the ancient vampire's aura, accidentally scratching kagome's cheek in the process.
a thin line of blood appeared on her cheek.
immediately, the whole room was filled with the smell of blood. rido put his hands on his nose, trying to prevent smelling the air, approached Kagome, who still appeared to be trapped in the nightmare, to wake her up. at all the noise they made, Kaname, Yuki and zero appeared on the scene. rido let out a sigh of relief when he was again hit by the smell of her blood. the next second, he lost control and was baring his fangs towards Kagome. kaname grabbed him by the neck and threw him out of the room while Yuki tended to Kagome. zero followed rido, shook him to his senses and demanded an explanation. "what the hell were you doing?!"
"there was a nightmare demon in her room. you're welcome." rido replied with a sigh.
"oh." zero said.
"still! you should've controlled yourself better! and you call yourself a thousand-year-old vampire?"
"you brat... I just haven't fed for a long time." rido glared at zero.
back in the room, Kaname looked over at Kagome, who still hasn't woken from her nightmare.
"what do we do, Kaname? she looks like she's in pain!" Yuki cried out worriedly.
kaname pushed his left sleeve up and slit his wrist. then he let the blood drip into her mouth. the instant his blood entered her body, her groans subsided and she went back to her peaceful sleep. before they could wake her up, the 2 vampires disappeared from the room.
zero and rido, smelling Kaname's blood, raised a brow questioningly at Kaname when he exited kagome's room.
"you didn't give her your blood." zero started.
".. I had no choice. it was the only way she could relieve the effects of the nightmare demon." Kaname said quietly.
"still..." zero said worryingly.
"it'll be fine, zero. it was only a small amount." Yuki said.
even with the reassurance from Yuki, the disapproving look from zero did not subside. with reluctant steps, zero being dragged by yuki went down to their rooms. silence followed behind where rido and Kaname were left standing.
kaname turned to leave, but not before saying, "have better control over yourself." in a cold tone. with that, Kaname also disappeared from the hall.
rido stepped closer to Kagome's room, leaned his body onto the door and closed his eyes in remembrance of kagome's sweet fragrance. his eyes flashed briefly in crimson but with one last glance at her room, he also left the scene.
