Yori is silently laid down on her bed and reading her favourite English book – Daughter of Storms by Louise Cooper, she can really relate to the main character, Shar, in a way, because Shar doesn't really know about her parents or past much and she has a "gift" that can hurt people, just like Yori - when Yuki comes in after escorting the night class to the school building. Yuki looks dishevelled again after having to fight back the day class girls from the night class.
"You okay Yuki?" Yori asks, just like she does every day.
"Yeah, I'm fine thanks Yori-chan, Zero wasn't there again today so I had to hold back the day class by myself, that's all." Yuki replied with a thoughtful look on her face.
Yori knows that face; Yuki only ever thinks that deeply when she is concerned about Zero.
Yori sighs, wondering how her friend could be so oblivious at times, knowing that he friend is so naive to Zero's feelings towards her, even Yori can see how much Zero obviously loves Yuki.
Yuki turns to go to her guardian duties. "'Night Yori-chan, see you in the morning." She said absentmindedly while deciding to go find Zero after her guardian duties for the night were over. ' He must be ill again' she thought.
"Wait, Yuki, are you sure you should be out there alone."
"What do you mean Yori-chan?" Yuki cautiously asked, slightly panicked that Yori meant something about the night class. She is always afraid that Yori will find out about them because she is so smart and then she will have to have her memory erased.
Yori caught on though and she pretended not to know anything about the night class vampires, even though she had known for months now.
It was just a guess of course, but she had a lot of evidence to support her theory; like how un humanly beautiful they are, how fast they seem to be, why they sleep during the day and have classes at night and how they always looked at the day class girls like a meal and they actually never seemed to need to eat, or at least she had never seen any of them eat anything anyway.
"I just mean that it's not safe for a young girl like you to be out at night patrolling the school grounds by herself. The night class won't do anything and I am sure you can have one night off guardian duties. Please Yuki, you know I worry about you so much when you go out patrolling by yourself." Yori practically pleaded with her friend, very worried for her safety.
"Its okay Yori-chan I promise I will be alright, but I have to go now. So we can talk more in the morning, okay." Yuki told her friend, avoiding Yori's worries. As she closed the door behind her and went to do her guardian duties again.
Yori was left sitting on her bed, her book forgotten now and her worries for Yuki dominant in her mind. She couldn't help thinking that Yuki isn't safe out there alone with so many vampires, at least when Zero as there Yori knew Yuki had someone to look out for her. But she definitely didn't like the idea of her friend out at night patrolling alone.
After thinking it through Yori decided that she would just have to sneak out and make sure Yuki didn't get in any trouble. She knew Yuki wouldn't catch her because she had done it a couple of times before and Yori now knew the prefect's patrol routes off by heart.
So she changed in to a pair of black jeans, her black trainers, her plain dark blue shirt and her black hoodie. She pulled the hood over her head so that her hair didn't make her stand out in the shadows as she tried to blend in with the darkness and not be noticed.
A minute later Yori sneaked down the stairs and out of the dorms. She knew Yuki would be up on the balcony near the night class by now; she was always staring at Kaname Kuran from there while scanning the grounds for trouble. So Yori made her way towards Yuki, staying on the ground and in the cover of the school or trees.
She became relaxed as soon as she saw Yuki on the balcony above her, staring out at the grounds; she was relieved that her friend was fine. But just as she began to relax she noticed Yuki tense up as she saw something in the distance. Yori looked in the direction Yuki was staring and through the trees Yori could make out a couple of day class girls on the ground.
Yori kept an eye on Yuki and she saw her friend suddenly jump down from the balcony, grab on to a tree branch and swing down in front of the day class girls.
Yori stared, relieved that Yuki was alright, but it was short lived as she noticed a couple of night class students approaching Yuki who was advising the girls to leave, now.
Yori wanted her friend to take her own advise and run away from the vampires, but she knew Yuki very well and knew that she would make the night class students go back to their dorm.
Yori inched closer to where Yuki and the girls were; quietly and keeping in the cover of the trees and greenery so that the vampires wouldn't notice her.
As she got closer she realised that the night class pupils were 'Idol' and another student who she didn't know his name.
Then all of a sudden 'Idol' grabbed Yuki and bit her hand as the day class girls fainted.
Yori knew something like this would happen to Yuki, it always does.
She sees Yuki struggling to get the vampire away from her, and she calls him Aidou.
'So that's his real name' Yori thinks before getting back to the problem at hand.
She had to rescue Yuki, which was the whole reason why she followed Yuki tonight.
But how would she get Yuki away from the night class without them noticing her and erasing her memories like she has seen them do to some of the day class students before. That was the big problem.
As she saw that Aidou was drinking her blood hungrily she knew that it wouldn't be long before he tries to bite her neck and no one was going to stop him, – his friend was just staring in to space, not bothered by what was going on – she didn't care about being seen anymore and she was sure they wouldn't know who she was anyway, when she is covered up in all the dark clothing she is wearing.
So Yori puts her plan in to action. She runs out from behind the tree near Yuki and kicks Aidou hard in the shin, making him reflexively retract his fangs from Yuki's hand. She keeps her back turned to the night class boys while she grabs Yuki's hand and runs, pulling Yuki along with her. As she races through the trees she dares to look back and she sees the vampires staring at them, too dazed to move. Then she sees the two fainted forms of the day class girls on the ground.
For a moment she hesitates, wondering if she should just leave the day class girls there, but she realises that she doesn't really care about leaving the day class girls there since they were always making fun of her anyway. Also she knows that the night class boys would be in trouble for biting Yuki and confused about how she disappeared so they would be distracted and wouldn't bother with the day class girls.
Yuki is too dazed to stop Yori and she just lets her friend drag her along.
Yori leads them all the way to the school gates before she finally stops running to check how Yuki is doing.
As soon as they stop Yuki snaps out of it and stares at Yori disbelievingly as what just happened catches up in mind.
She pulls her hands from Yori's grasp. "Yori, what's going on? Why are you dressed like that? And what did you just do?" Yuki demands to know.
"Haven't you ever realised, Yuki. I follow you during your prefect duties to make sure you're alright."
"But why Yori? It's dangerous, you shouldn't do that" Yuki tells her friend.
"Exactly, Yuki. It's dangerous, especially with a night class made up of VAMPIRES!" Yori yells at her friend, frustrated that they hurt Yuki.
Yuki gasps. "Yori, what do you mean? How do you know?"
I figured it out a while ago Yuki, I am quite smart and it's an obvious conclusion when you think about it. But tonight has confirmed my suspicions when that night class guy bit your hand." Yori told Yuki.
Yuki just stares at her friend in amazement.
"Now let me see your hand Yuki." Yori demands, grabbing her hand and bandaging it up with her handkerchief for now.
Yuki finally takes in everything Yori told her. "Yori, if the others find out about this they will erase your memory. It could be seriously dangerous since you have knows about it for a while. So we have to make a deal, okay. I won't tell anyone that you know anything as long as you promise to stop leaving the dorms at night and act like usual, like you don't know anything. Oh and could I borrow you class notes?"
"Okay Yuki, it's a deal, but I need to tell you something else too."
"What is it Yori?" Yuki asks her friend, concerned about her.
"There is something wrong with me, I am not normal and I need your help to keep it a secret, because I don't trust anyone else."
"Okay Yori, you can tell me anything." Yuki reassures her.
"I have a curse. I can create fire and bend it to my will, but I am not the best at controlling it when my emotions act up."
Yuki looks at her, almost in a disbelieving way.
Yori sees the look on her friends face and realises she needs some convincing. "Here, I will show you" She says and suddenly creates blue flames in her hands and makes them form two people dancing to a waltz on her hands.
Yuki stares, amazed and a little scared by what she is seeing. But this is nowhere near as bad as when she discovered vampires so she takes it very well. "But how, Yori?" she asks.
Yori is glad that Yuki is taking this information well. "I don't know, I was born with it and I know it's the reason why my family died and why I don't have any proper memories. But I can't do anything about it; I have no idea what's going on. All I know is that I am a freak compared to the night class." She tells her friend
"Your not a freak Yori. Actually I think its pretty cool." She reassures her friend.
Yori is glad to hear her friend say this. "So, will you help me Yuki?"
"Of course I will Yori-chan. It's a deal then, I will help you keep your power and knowledge a secret if you just act normal and stop following me. Trust me, I will be fine." She assures Yori.
Yori reluctantly agrees to stop sneaking out at night to make sure she is okay.
"Now, it's quite late, or should I say early, we might still be able to catch an hour or two of sleep before we get up if we hurry back." Yuki said to her friend.
"Oh, and thanks for saving me Yori-chan" She says as an afterthought. So much has happened in the past hour and she has absorbed so much information that it is suddenly catching up to her.
"It's okay Yuki. Just be careful in future okay, I won't be there to help you out anymore." Yori advises her friend while wondering how Yuki is going to help her.
"Come on Yori" Yuki yells to her friend as they run back to their dorm room to catch some sleep before they have to be up for classes.
A lot has happened in the past hour, and one thing Yori knows for sure is that now that Yuki knows about her things will be different.
