Hii. Well, this is chapter 2 of my story. I hope y'all will enjoy it.
Oh yeah, and sorry I forgot to thank the people who reviewed in the last chapter, so thank you everyone who has reviewed my story so far.
Note for georgisakura: Thanks for being my first reviewer; I hope you will continue reading my story. :"]
-
Note for inuyashee: Thanks for reviewing. I know, for some reason no one ever does the Kain x Yori pairing. To be honest right now I just cant decide who she is supposed to be with, so I keep writing stories with Yori with Kain or Aidou or Takuma. Lol. Anyway, I promise I will update as often as I can because people obviously like this story unlike some of my others, lol. I hope now that I have updated the death threat doesn't still apply xD. But i think I have several assassins out looking for me right now anyway, since I haven't updated one of my stories in a few months; but I am getting to it, its next on my to do list after this one, lol. :"]
-
Note for Princess de la Luna: Thanks for your reviews and my friends say they will draw some pictures for my story for me when they get the chance, but we have loads of exams coming up so it's a bit hectic right now. Also my brother is going to help me make a trailer for my story for YouTube as soon as he can. And yet they are good ideas, very interesting. :"]
Also I am going to read those two fan fiction stories you suggested, thank you. :D
And to answer your other question this story will be following the manga series not the anime.
-
Note for Iced Coffee: Thanks for your reviews. I am glad you like it and think its interesting. Sorry it was a bit rushed but I am trying my best to get through this story quickly so that I don't loose hope with it like I do with my others for ages. I am terrible at completing stories once I have started them, I loose interest or run out of ideas, and I don't want that to happen to this one, so sorry if it seems a little rushed in places. I hope you don't mind too much. :"]
-
Note to pureblood-ryamiaka: Thanks for reviewing. I was waiting for a Yori x Kain fan fiction for so long that I just decided to write my own, lol. I'm hoping it will live up to peoples expectations since its quite popular. I will try to update as quickly as I can, but I have loads of exams coming up so I cant guarantee anything, hopefully I will have another chapter up after this one in a couple of days. Sorry its rather small, I typically write that much for a chapter, sometimes more, and i thought it would be good point to leave it at when they go back to their dorms. But I will try to make the next chapters longer. :"]
-
Note to minaghostwolf: Thank you for reviewing. I am glad you like it, lol :D . I have recently gotten in to writing stories with Yori as the main character; I have loads of ideas typed up in note form, lol. And there are so many of those stories where she is with Aidou that I decided it would be a good idea to make her be with Kain in this one, especially since there are barely any of those stories and I myself have been dying to read one, lol. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy the rest of my story, I have already written it all out in note form and there are about another15 chapters to go, so I hope you wont get bored, lol. :"]
-
Note to freeprincess: Thanks for reviewing, I am glad you like it so far. Yeah, Yori and Kain will be a bit like Kaname and Yuki, but will have more of a relationship, eventually. :"]

-A-
It was seven in the morning before they were both awake and up. Yori had been awake and ready fro school since six, waiting patiently for her friend to get up so that they could talk more about last night before classes.
Yori was already ready for school and had even packed Yuki's bag and gotten all her things out ready for her to get ready easily and quickly so that they had as much time as possible before they had to go to school.
She tried not to act impatient in front of Yuki as she waited for her friend to finish getting ready, but Yuki still noticed.
So Yuki got ready at lighting speed and was up, had a very quick shower and was ready within ten minutes.
Yori was pleased that they had about an hour until they had to start walking to their first class, so they had plenty of time to talk.
Yuki sat down at the end of Yori's bed and faced her friend. They both sat in silence for a minute before Yuki started the conversation.
Yori was paranoid that Yuki would act different now and her understanding was all a dream, so it was a big relief to her when Yuki started talking and acting normally towards her; they had a little talk about the weather and usual things like how they were and what they were doing this weekend, since it was Thursday and the weekend was coming up fast.
Soon enough they had been talking normally with each other for twenty minutes, but neither of them had mentioned last night yet.
Yori could sense that Yuki was curious about what had happened last night, so Yori decided to start the conversation off in that direction; even though she didn't really want to talk about it.
-a-
"So, about last night. Just ask me questions and I will tell you what you want to know." Yori told Yuki. Not sure what she wanted to know exactly, so deciding this was the best way to talk about it.
"Yeah, last night. Tell me everything, in detail; I have a million questions Yori-chan. Like how do you know about vampires and the night class? And how did you rescue me? Also, what's with your ability? Tell me everything please Yori-chan!" Yuki asked her friend, begging to know the answers to all these questions that are plaguing her mind.
"Okay Yuki, I will tell you everything I know. This might take a little while, so get comfortable." Yori told her friend seriously; worried about how Yuki will take everything that she is about to tell her; she had rehearsed what she would tell Yuki all morning, about her missing past, her powers, how she knows about vampires, everything, but she was still nervous because she didn't know what Yuki's reaction would be to everything.
Yuki shuffled a bit on the bed and jokingly said. "Okay, I am comfortable now Yori-chan"
Yori smiled at her friends attempt to lighten the mood.
Yuki saw the small smile on Yori's lips and realised that she was nervous. What she was about to find out was obviously very personal and secret to Yori. "Don't Worry Yori-chan, it's just me. I wont ever tell anyone your secret I promise, and nothing will change between us, no matter what we will always be best friends. I vow to keep your secrets Sayori Wakaba, if you keep mine." Yuki said lightly.
Yori was happy by what Yuki just said, she was glad to have a friend like Yuki. She became instantly more relaxed by what Yuki had said to her and she was prepared to tell her everything now, without hesitation she knew she could trust Yuki.
Yori took a deep breath to calm herself completely and began to tell Yuki everything.
-a-
Yori focused on Yuki and got on with what she had been rehearsing telling Yuki since she woke up this morning. "I will start with telling you about my past first.
Well, the thing about my past is that I don't remember much of anything at all about it from the age of twelve and under.
I woke up in hospital on my thirteenth birthday.
Apparently there had been a big fire that was virtually unstoppable until it burned itself out.
Then I was told that I was the only survivor of the fire, I had been in a comatose state for four months now and they weren't sure I would pull through, but I had, only to be told that my whole family were dead and I was all alone in the world now.
I didn't understand what was going on, it was all a bur to me. I tried to remember who I was and about my family, but I just couldn't.
I asked the nurse and doctor what was going on and whom I was.
They seemed shocked by that and they asked me what I could remember. I told them that I could remember simple things like walking and talking and rocket science and quantum physics, but I couldn't remember anything about my personal past or myself.
I couldn't remember anything and I just became extremely upset about how I was completely alone in the world right now, without any memories of who I was; I was confused because I didn't know who I was now.
They then went on to tell me who I was and what had happened, in hope that it might jog my memory, but it didn't work.
Then they asked me questions about what I did know and they were amazed.
They were surprised to learn how smart I was, they ran tests on me and professionals came in to talk to me and it seemed that even though I couldn't remember my personal life, I knew all about other things that were hard for other people to understand but amazing for myself, a thirteen year old to know. The specialists wanted to send me to special schools to help me further my talent for understanding advanced knowledge.
But the doctors decided that it was best if I lived normally because too much stress might damage my mind further after being in a coma for so long.
They diagnosed me with amnesia and they said that the emotional trauma would be blocking my memories, but they should come back within a year.
That was three years ago and I still don't remember anything.
I was prescribed some medication to try to help my memories come back, but nothing worked.
When I was finally allowed to leave the hospital I went to my family's grave, but I couldn't even cry for them because I couldn't remember them.
Now I have to go back to the hospital every year for brain scans and tests because they cant figure out why I cant remember anything; every time I go the tests show that I am extremely smart and have unusual brain activity, but overall I am healthy except for the fact that I cant remember my past.
-a-
So without any other family, I went in to the foster care system.
I was a loner because of how smart I was and I was very pretty for my age.
The kids there called me a loser and I was nicknamed the know-it-all. And I was repeatedly bullied for being so cold about my past and my families' deaths because I didn't remember anything.
Finally after a year of torture at the foster care home, a nice couple who couldn't have their own children adopted me. They saw how the other children picked on me and I fit their expectations, I was smart, polite and a little shy but very friendly, so they decided to adopt me.
They are nice people, they understand me and we have become good friends, but I don't see them as family because I don't understand what it is like to have a family and I feel I am betraying my dead family if I become too close to them.
They are very wealthy and live in a huge mansion, far away, up in the mountains where there aren't many schools and as soon as they found out about how smart I am they sent me here, to cross academy, one of the best schools.
They have a baby now too; they managed to have a baby even though the odds were against them.
I like them very much, we spend time together during holidays and their little boy, Kenta, is very fond of me.
I have been an orphan for over three years now, I am lucky that one of the nice families adopted me and I am very thankful to them for it.
But the worst thing is that I don't remember my family at all and I only have a picture of them that was in the clothes I was wearing during the fire.
Luckily the photograph survived, but it is the only thing I have of them because out belongings perished in the fire and they supposedly didn't exist."
Yuki remembers seeing the photograph that Yori mentioned on her bedside table amongst her friend's alarm clock and other pictures.
She had never asked her about her family though because she wasn't one to pry especially since Yori had always seemed to not want to talk about her past and would avoid the subject at all costs.
Now Yuki understood why.
She looked over and there it was, in a fancy silver frame next to a photograph of her and her new family; obviously it was very precious to Yori.
She snapped out of her thoughts and concentrated on what Yori was telling her, after all, she desperately needed to know more about her friend now.
"Its very puzzling, no one can find anything about my family anywhere, there is only a little information about me and I know their names, but that's about it.
I had a mother, her name was Miyu Wakaba and I had a father, his name was Daichi Yuu Wakaba. Also I had a younger brother called Ryuu and a little sister named Akina.
But besides their names and a little general information there is nothing else about them.
So my past up until three years ago is a big mystery to me and everyone else. It is all just a blur to me. I have tried to remember it but I just end up getting bad side affects so the doctors advised me to stop. But I still do it, because I want, no, I need to find out about my past." Yori finally finished explaining her past to Yuki.
-a-
"Well, that's it for my past." Yori told her as she noticed Yuki's thoughtful expression.
"Is there something you want to say Yuki, because you can ask me anything and I will answer as best as I can." She told her friend, trying to figure out why Yuki was suddenly in a world of her own; was it something she had said she wondered.
"Oh, sorry Yori-chan, I was just thinking." Yuki said as she snapped out of her daze.
"What about Yuki-chan?" Yori asked curiously
Yuki decided to trust Yori with her secret of her past since Yori obviously trusted her and was telling her everything. "It's about your missing memories. I have told you before about how the headmaster adopted me because I am an orphan.
But I never told you that I have no memories of my past. The thing is, I lost all my memories from before the age of five.
I don't remember anything about my past or my family.
All I know is that I was found in the mountains and rescued from a rogue vampire by Kaname Kuran, and ever since the headmaster has looked after me.
Just like you my memories are a blur and every time I try to remember my past I get headaches and sometimes terrible, vivid hallucinations about there being blood everywhere.
I don't dwell on my past much recently because of the frightening hallucinations, but I still wonder all the time about my past.
It's a mystery to me and I don't even know anything about my family because no one could ever find any record of me.
So you see Yori, its unusual that it has happened to you two, it makes me wonder if our unknown pasts and our amnesia are related somehow."
Yori is shocked to hear this and they spend a while talking about their missing memories and their symptoms from when they try to remember their past.
They both wonder what it could be, obviously its not normal amnesia. Now they have come to the possible conclusion that someone did this to them to keep them from remembering their past on purpose.
They couldn't stop thinking about how their pasts could be related and if they might have known each other in their pasts.
Yori and Yuki realise that it is something they both share, a unique experience. It is definitely something unusual that they have in common and everything seems to indicate that they both went through something similar. But they don't remember what it was.
It's a mystery, especially why thinking about their past makes them both ill.
Their new, shared information brings them even closer to each other as they feel that they are the only ones that can completely understand each other about it.
-a-
Yuki realises that they have spent a while talking about it, both excited that they may have the key to their pasts within reach at last.
Yuki reluctantly stops talking to Yori about it and urges her to continue telling her everything now. She still wants to know everything and they can always discuss their missing pasts in detail another time. But right now Yori needs to finish telling her about everything before it is time to go to class; otherwise Yuki would be thinking about it all day and it would be bothering her greatly if they had to get up again early tomorrow morning just to finish their discussion.
Yori understands what Yuki means. They can always finish comparing their missing memories and past at any time, but what Yori needs to tell Yuki is secret and needs to be kept quiet.
So they need to talk about it now before they leave their room.
Yori goes on to tell Yuki about her powers now. "Okay, well the next and most important thing I need to tell you about is my 'curse'.
I know you will keep everything I tell you secret, but I still hope that you won't be scared when you fully learn about my power.
The most important thing is that I remember that my powers link to my forgotten past. I vaguely remember the fire, in my nightmares I am, covered in it, but it doesn't hurt me. I am lying on the floor in a pool of blood, but most of it isn't mine. There is fire everywhere, all I can see is the blaze of the fire, and then someone cruelly whispers in my ear that my family are dead and laughs before I feel something at my neck, then I hear a roar of anger coming from behind me, from the same thing that laughed presumably. Then I scream and everything goes dark. That's all I remember before I woke from my coma, It's a mystery. Why and how I lived is also a mystery but I don't like to dwell on it because it makes me think that maybe I caused my families deaths, maybe it was me who killed them with my powers."
At this Yuki protested and comforted Yori by attempting to convince her otherwise.
"I am sure you didn't do anything to your family Yori, it's not your fault they are dead. It is indeed a mystery which I intend to solve for you." Yuki assured her.
Yori smiles at her friend, happy that someone believes in her and she fights back her emotions of anger at not being able to remember anything more and she continues telling Yuki about her powers.
"I first realised that I had this power over fire when I was in the hospital.
I was very emotional that I couldn't remember anything about my past and I suddenly felt an unusual tingling sensation at the tips of my fingers.
I looked down at my hands and saw little sparks of fire dancing on my fingertips. I was scared. I tried to put the fire out, afraid of what was happening.
Then I realised that I wasn't hurt, that the fire didn't hurt me and that I could sort of control it, as I experimented and moved the embers from one finger to the next at will.
I was amazed and quite scared at what was happening, and one thing I was sure of was that this definitely wasn't normal.
So I didn't tell anyone and kept it a secret as I experimented with my 'power' when no one was around.
While I was in the hospital and confined to my room for tests and healing after my coma I learnt more about my power and how I could bend it to my will.
Also, I was supposed to be ill after my coma, at least for a short time, but I felt unusually fine, It was as if the fire I could manipulate made me feel better.
The doctors were amazed at how fast I recovered, they asked me about it and how I was feeling, but I still didn't tell them about the fire.
I didn't trust anyone yet, so I didn't dare tell anyone.
After a while I managed to learn how to control the fire a bit and I tried different things out.
I found that my emotions controlled the fire and that the power was progressing quite fast, too quickly for me to ever have complete control over it.
I played with my power, but in the future I came to fear it, thinking I was cursed because I am dangerous.
I kept it a secret for all these years. No one else besides me, except you now, knows about it, as far as I know.
But the real problem is that over the years my power has become wild and out of control." She explained to Yuki.
"When I was free from the hospital I found myself encaged again, in a foster care system this time, living in one of the houses other orphans like me shared while waiting to be adopted.
It wasn't very nice there, the other kids picked on me, but it was somewhere to stay until I could figure out my past.
It was difficult to keep my powers hidden from the others when we were all squashed together in such a tight space, but I managed it somehow.
I spent a year there, I already had a part time job at my young age and I had to go to the local school too with the other kids. But I was good at my job and saved my money and found school easy so there were no problems there. I had at least a little freedom now and I wasn't constantly watched and surveyed like I had been in the hospital.
Over the year I spent in the 'orphan home', as I called it, my powers started to grow and it became harder and harder to hide them around the other children who were in the system too.
I eventually decided that I needed to find somewhere I could practice with my powers so that they don't blaze out of control suddenly, but It had to be somewhere secluded and away from people who could see what I was doing.
I remembered that there was an old mansion on the outskirts of town with a huge forest behind it, it was the perfect place to go to manage my powers, and the people were only ever there once a year apparently so I would be free from the fear of being caught over there.
I went over there the day after I chose it as the place to freely use my powers.
Over the span of a few months I learnt how to control my growing powers a little more. I would go to my secret every day after school and work and I would be there all the time during the holidays and I would sometimes even sneak out at night.
Surprisingly the other kids didn't care about where I was going or what I was doing and they left me alone about it luckily.
After a while I realised that that I would never have complete control over the fire, so I trained myself with it a little each day so that I became more and more used to it.
I taught myself how to create patterns out of the fire and shapes by thinking hard about it and projecting my thoughts in to the form of fire. I learnt how to manipulate the fire very well and bend it to my will.
I found out using the trial and error method, just how powerful my fire really was and that it would only go out if I was completely calm.
I remember that after a few months the summer holidays started and the people who owned the mansion came for their holidays.
I knew the grounds and area very well by the time to know that I wouldn't disturb them if I stayed far in the forest and on the outskirts.
I was legally trespassing, but it was the only place I had to practice and learn more about my powers so I had to risk it least they blaze out of control.
I remember a dream I had every night when the people moved in for the holidays.
Every night I would have a dream about a particular boy who I had never met before and every night after I came back from my training I would dream off him and it would progress further and further, bit by bit, just like real life, every night in my dreams.
He was my age and very tall, he had short blonde/brown/ginger coloured hair, it was almost like flames, he also had dark eyes with a slight tint of brown/red in them.
His personality reflected him well; he seemed almost uninterested, or bored with the world around him and he was very laid back and casual.
Most of the time in my dreams he would sneak up behind me, he was so quiet he would surprise me when he acknowledged his presence by saying hello to me.
Somehow we seemed to know each other, like we had met many times before. I actually felt comfortable around him and I used my powers while he was there too.
He helped me manage my powers and taught me new skills in my dreams, which I can actually do now.
Now that I think about it he had the same power as me but his flames were red and mine are generally blue.
We used to meet up in the place I used to train when I was at the orphanage and we spent the whole of he holidays with each other, talking and trusting each other, we understood each other, probably because he was in my imagination.
When he had to leave at the end of the holidays we agreed to meet again next year when he would be back, but I couldn't make it because I was adopted and then I didn't see him again and my dreams stopped telling a story and just showed my past dreams of him instead.
I still sometimes have the dream, from time to time, usually on the day we agreed to meet in the dream, but it's more vague now because I don't remember it much.
Even so I still love the dream, it makes me feel wanted and special.
I know the boy in it isn't real, but I wish he was, he's my equal."
Yori sighs to herself as she remembers her dream, wishing there was someone out there who was real and did understand her.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(A/N: By the way Yori thinks it's a dream, but its real life. She really met him when he went to his mansion for the summer. But when they didn't see each other again after that year they both began to think that it was just a dream and their imagination running wild. The boy also has the same dreams of her. –Guessed who the boy is yet? Lol - :"] ).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yuki smiles at her friend, happy that at least in her dreams she has someone.
But she can't help but think that the description of the boy sounds familiar.
Yuki couldn't quite place it so she shrugged it off and left it in the back of her mind to think about later.
Yori snapped out of her daze, blushed slightly and then continued on with the explanation of her powers yet again.
"Anyway, back to telling you about my powers.
So my time at the orphanage helped me greatly in understanding and using my powers, but I still couldn't control them when my emotions were involved.
Then one day after I had spent about a year at the orphanage place a nice young couple in their late twenties came in to adopt a girl. As soon as they saw me they seemed to make their mind up and they talked to my social worker and within the day I packed my few belongings and was leaving with my new parents.
They were very nice and kind, they lived up in the mountains so it was quite a journey, but when we got there it was amazing, they were obviously very wealthy and had a huge mansion and beautiful grounds.
They immediately gave me a tour of the mansion and they showed me to my room; it was huge and very beautiful, and it was all mine. Then we spent the rest of the evening talking and eating dinner and I instantly liked them and got along with them.
They told me that they knew how smart and talented I was so they decided that I could spend a term at home before I start my new Primary School (ages 7 till13). It was a little far away but it was one of the best in the country for people like me and I could have my own chauffer to take me to school and back. They had already chosen Cross Academy as the secondary school (ages 13 till 18) I would attend after Primary School. So we talked about my future and my options and coming home for the holidays when I started attending cross academy and they told me that I could do whatever I wanted as long as it wasn't illegal or immoral. They were extremely rich so money wasn't a problem and they gave me an allowance each month. But they understood that I might want a part time job to keep some sense of a normal life.
I was fine with them for several months, we had a lot of fun bonding and I really liked them and we got along very well, but it still didn't feel like a family to me because I wasn't sure what one was like really.
Everything was okay until a few days before the beginning of my school term. I had been training my powers regularly in a secluded part of the grounds but suddenly they flared up and I lost control as they suddenly evolved too fast for me. I ended up burning part of the forest down and the small shed that was used to keep the gardening tools in. No one suspected me, and only I knew what had caused the fires, me.
It went downhill from there, I lost more and more control over my powers and became more emotional as I started having nightmares about my past; of a vampire.
I almost burned down the house once and part of it had to be rebuilt and I accidently destroyed my schools gym building, still no one put together that it was me who was causing the powers by accident and they just put it down to freak accidents and occurrences.
But it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to hide my powers and by then I had barely any control over them.
So I finally decided I had to lock my emotions away in order to control them a little more. It wasn't easy but I taught myself how to be cold. At first my foster parents were worried about me and took me to a psychologist, we talked and the person told my foster parents that my changes were due to my missing memories disturbing me through nightmares because I couldn't consciously remember them.
They did everything to help me, but nothing helped and after a while I got used to the nightmares and remained cold and distant. I still socialised with my foster parents, but it wasn't the same anymore. I had to keep myself in control to protect them from me.
As time passed and I went to school, I acted the same there and was constantly bullied for my cold behaviour and emotionless attitude.
But I didn't care; over time I just came to think of my powers as a curse to me.
After two years my foster parents sent me here, to Cross Academy, after I had finished primary school.
They sent me here because it is one of the best and a well-known school in the country and they thought it might help me too, with my icy attitude that had developed.
But this is actually where the real problems and trouble started for me.
I met you, which helped me let my emotions out more, which isn't good for me.
Also, my power started growing immensely and at a rapid speed. I couldn't keep up with them and they occasionally go out of control, even with my skill to block the worst of them with my emotionless ways.
When I discovered that the night class were vampires my emotions got out of control more and more. I surely had a bad experience with a vampire in my past because of my nightmares and my worry for you being out there keeping them in line made me even worse.
More recently my powers have been taking me over and I don't know what to do anymore. I have no knowledge of what is happening to me and why so all I can do is try my best to keep my power in check and train myself all the time to regain control little by little.
I still don't have much control over my powers but now I can considerably reduce the damage they do and I don't use them often if I can help it.
Actually, the other night I almost revealed my power in front of the vampires because my emotions got the better of me when I saw them attacking you.
I have learned the hard way that I need to be extremely careful with my power so that I don't reveal it.
Also, for some reason when I saw that other night class guy, the one with Aidou, my power blazed for a moment and it took me a minute to regain my composure and calm my power down before it threatened to show.
You see, it is getting more and more difficult to conceal it, and that's why I need your help Yuki.
If I am not careful I will be revealed, and that wont be good.
I am trying my best, but because I don't know anything about my past I have no idea why I have these powers or how to control them.
I have taught myself how to use them, but my emotions seem to control them and when I am upset in particular, they blaze out of control and I cant stop them.
Luckily I haven't hurt anyone yet, but I have burnt quite a few things down by accident; mostly trees and a couple of small vacant buildings.
As I get older they progress more and more and at a rate I cant keep up with.
I have no idea why I was cursed with these powers but I know that you are the one person who could help me, if anyone can.
You're the only person I trust, you are my only friend and you have experience with unusual things like this, well with vampires and their powers anyway." She finished explaining about her powers and problem with them to Yuki.
"So please Yuki-chan, I need you help." Yori pleaded with Yuki, unsure what she would say or do now; if she would run away or just hate her, Yori didn't know what to expect. But she didn't expect her friend to be so good about everything and so reassuring which is exactly was Yuki did.
"Don't worry Yori-chan; I will do my best to help you. Your predicament is very puzzling and unusual, but I am sure i can at least keep it a secret and you can talk to me about it and I will try to help you as much as I can, I promise." Yuki reassures her best friend.
Yori is extremely happy by what Yuki said and she can't help but feel that everything will be all right from now on, as long as she has Yuki to help her.
-a-
"Okay, now we have that sorted out, please continue Yori." Yuki tells her best friend while smiling reassuringly.
"Well, next thing for me to explain to you would be why I already know so much about vampires. You see, ever since I woke up in hospital, ever since I can remember, I have just known that vampires exist and all about them.
But when I tried to research them as I was growing up I came to dead ends; all the information I could find on vampires contradicts everything I remember about them, and I am absolutely sure that I have these memories still for some important reason.
I know all about their abilities and how noble vampires and purebloods have even more special ones too.
I know vampire history and proper etiquette. I know so many organised facts about them and some of them are unusual, things only a vampire would have to know.
I understand how vampires can be so amazing and so good. But I also know that they can be evil and how they use humans for their own selfish needs.
I also know the basic facts on them, like how they need blood to survive and be strong and that a purebloods blood is the strongest of all vampires and is greatly desired.
But the thing I don't understand is why or how I even know any of this information, I just know everything there is to know about vampires, I always have." She tells her friend, desperately trying to convey how jumbled her mind could be about her past.
"Yuki, is it a bad thing, that I somehow know all about vampires?" She asks her friend, unsure and a little afraid that she knows so much about them.
"Actually Yori-chan, it is unusual but this is good news. Yuki answered her.
"Maybe your parents were hunters and that's the reason why there is no record of you. It would make sense I suppose. If only we could look in their records to find out." Yuki pondered this as Yori continued.
"Maybe, Yuki, it's certainly a possible idea anyway.
"Also, I had a past experience with a vampire, I think. So that may have something to do with why I know so much about them. "
Yuki is snapped out of her thoughts at hearing this. "What do you mean Yori?" she asks worriedly, reliving her bad experience with a rogue vampire those many years ago.
"Well, I have this one nightmare, it seems like a clouded memory actually, but I wish it would go away. It is the one thing I don't want to remember about my past.
My memories always seem to come to me in the form of dreams or nightmares.
But when I have this nightmare, it is usually around the anniversary of the fire.
I had it again the other night, since it is getting closer to the date when my family died. Its less than a week to go now and my nightmare comes back more vivid each time I have it. Usually my powers flare out of control at that time too, so I really have to be careful right now.
In the nightmare I see a man, his fangs are bared at me and I am being chased by him, a seemingly crazed vampire who desperately wants my blood.
This man is very powerful and also a pureblood, I can tell by his extreme powers. I can't see him very well in my dreams because he is shrouded in darkness; my mind wont let me see him fully yet.
But I know one thing, he is very frightening; I used to wake up screaming from these nightmares." Yori is shaking from the memory of it now.
After hearing this and seeing the state her friend is in after talking about it, Yuki pulls her in to a hug and comforts her.
They stay like that for a few minutes as she waits for Yori to seem calmer, before she lets go.
Yori composes herself, putting the bad memory to the back of her mind as she continues explaining things to Yuki.
"Your probably wondering how I figured out the night class are vampires.
Well it was quite simple with my knowledge actually.
I was already suspicious because the academy suddenly needed guardians when the night class started, which was unusual, especially for you to have to stay out all night patrolling the school grounds.
Then I observed them from afar. I saw how they never ate or drank anything to anyone's knowledge.
They seemed overly sensitive to the sun when they were ever seen in daylight.
They were always asking the girls what their blood type was or commenting on how lovely they smelled; which is just plain unusual.
And the last things that alerted me to them was that they were always so fast and seemed to inhumanly beautiful and talented to be anything other than vampires.
But my suspicions were confirmed last night when I heard the girls scream that there was a vampire. Then I saw that Aidou guy sink his fangs in to your hand and try to drain the blood form your neck.
So with my knowledge of vampires I easily pieced together that the night class were most likely vampires, and now I know I was right.
But even though I have all these memories about vampires and so much information stored about them in my head I still don't trust them completely. For all I know they could have changed drastically in the past couple of years and what I saw last night certainly doesn't t help me trust them." Yori explains to Yuki.
Yuki attempts to argue back, trying to convince her friend that vampires are good really, like Kaname-sempai.
But Yori refuses to believe it until she sees it with her own eyes; even though she is eternally grateful for what Kaname did for Yuki those many years ago.
Yuki gives up and realises that from Yori's point of view vampires may seem bad,; but she still tells her friend that she hopes she will believe in the good in them someday.
Yori accepts what Yuki is saying and believes that her friend trusts them very much.
-a-
A silence sweeps over the two girls as Yori finally finishes explaining things to Yuki.
She gets up to get a drink of water from their bathroom, her throat is parched after all that explaining; leaving Yuki to think of nay questions she might want to ask her.
"So Yuki, do you have any questions?"
"Not really Yori, but I was wondering if you could tell me exactly how you rescued me last night."
"Okay Yuki.
Well, last night I followed you after you left for your guardian duties; I knew that Zero wasn't with you so I was worried that there was no one to protect you against the vampires.
Then, just as I caught up to you I saw you through the trees with two night class boys and two day class girls.
As soon as I began to creep forwards I heard the girls scream that they were vampires and they fainted. Then almost instantly Aidou grabbed a hold of you; his bloodlust showed a lot and gave me a good idea of what his intentions were.
I knew something like this might happen with vampires on school grounds; it's exactly why I sneaked out in the first place.
At least when Zero was with you he could protect you; I was very worried that without him the night class guys would harm you.
Then I saw Aidou bite your hand, I was outraged that he would dare do something like that to you and that the other night class guy wasn't even bothered, in fact he looked bored.
Hat was when I decided I needed to get closer in case I had to step in.
So I crept through the trees towards you, as quiet as I could so that I wouldn't alert their vampire senses to me.
Just as I was near to you I saw the vampire drinking your blood and looking hungrily at your neck as you struggled. It made me even angrier and I just about managed to keep my emotions and powers under control.
Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, I wouldn't let it go any further, so I ran out of my hiding spot, kicked Aidou with as much strength as I could muster and I dragged you away from them, running to a safer area.
At first I was scared that they would chase after us, but then I remembered the day class girls who would need their memories erased, so the night class guys would be too preoccupied with them to go to the trouble of catching us. I was a little scared for the day class girls but I realised that they wouldn't do anything to them because they would have to explain to the headmaster what happened because he always seemed to know when something was going on in his school.
So I just kept running with you in tow, pulling you along as fast as I could go and as far away from the vampires as possible so that we would be safe for the time being.
So, that's what happened last night, and, well, you know the rest." Yori told her friend.
As Yori finished, Yuki is in deep thought again.
She knows that if their places were reversed Yori would trust her to keep a secret and help her with her powers, so Yuki vows to do just that for Yori.
"Okay, thanks for explaining everything to me Yuki. And I just want you to know now that nothing has changed between us, I still trust you and we are still best friends; the fact that you know that the night class are vampires just makes it easier to talk to you about them and everything. I vow to keep your secret as long as you keep theirs." Yuki explains to Yori, trying to make her understand.
They smile to each other and get lost in their own thoughts as they go over what they have both just told each other.
Yuki thinks about what Yori has talked to her about, mostly about Yori's past.
Then Yori thinks about what Yuki has told her about her past too and everything her best friend has said to her that has reassured her.
So they sink in to their thoughts, both thinking about their hidden pasts and everything they have just admitted to each other and talked about.
-a-
Before they knew it, it was time to go to their classes. I didn't seem that long to them, but it was already eight fifty, they had been talking for over an hour; they were supposed to be on their way to class by eight-thirty, and so it was definitely time for them to go.
So while they were still in their own worlds, thinking about everything they had talked about they put their shoes on and made sure they were ready to go out the door.
Just before Yori was about to open the door and leave, Yuki snapped out of her thoughts and stopped Yori.
She turned her friend around and apologised to her, telling her how sorry she was for acting so strangely, but what they talked about is a lot to take in. She then reassured Yori that nothing has changed between them and told her that they are still best friends, no matter what.
Yori was overjoyed to hear Yuki saying this, she thought Yuki might judge her and she would loose her only friend, but she realised that she should have known that Yuki was too good a person to do that to her. Yori thanked Yuki as tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Suddenly Yuki pulled Yori in to a hug and calmed her friend down.
"What's wrong Yori-chan, is it something I said?" Yuki asked worriedly.
"No, its fine Yuki-chan. What you said was exactly what I was hoping for. I am so glad you are my friend." Yori told her as she hugged her back.
They pull apart after a few seconds; both feeling very happy that they got everything out in the open.
Now they know everything about each other it will be easier to remain best friends without secrets.
They snap out of their daze and realise what time it is, they will be late if they aren't fast.
Yuki quickly grabs her things and they rush out the dorm to get to class on time.
-A-
Okay, so that was the second chapter of 'But I'm A Freak'.
Gosh that took me a while to type up from note form, lol. I am not a very fast writer by the way and my ideas just come to me, so I have to wait a while sometimes.
I know its just her explanation, but the chapter was getting way too long, so I decided to split it up in to two, the next chapter is already written and it is about their day at school and Yuki gets called to the headmasters office. Dun dun dun… will Yori's secret be revealed. Don't worry; you will find out soon enough, I will be posting the next chapter up very soon. :"]
Here is a preview of the ext chapter for my patient and devoted readers:
Step 3: Keeping Secrets
-
-
Summary: When Yuki is called in to see the headmaster and Kaname about what happened the other night with Aidou, she somehow has to keep Yori's knowledge of the night class a secret, along with her friend's mysterious power.
-
They both thank the teacher and realising she is extremely tired still, Yori decides to go back to their dorms and sleep for a bit while Yuki does her prefect duties and goes to see Zero who was missing from their classes all day.
Yuki is very worried abut him by now and decides to go find him before her guardian duties but as they are leaving the building a day class student comes up to them and tells Yuki that the headmaster wants to see her in his office right now.
She looks at Yori and they exchange a worried glance before they walk their different ways.
Yori went back to her dorm room to sleep and Yuki reluctantly trudged off to the headmaster's office, worried about why he wants to see her so urgently.
-
Okay so that was the preview for the next chapter, i hope its got everyone wanting to know what will happen. :"]
-a-
I am sorry it took a while to post up but as well as being a slow writer I was on holiday, so I couldn't update and I have loads of exams right now, also, my dad had to take my computer to work with him and backup everything on my computer and update it so that I don't loose all my files in a freak accident xD. So that took a while too, lol.
Also, sorry if I keep changing tenses throughout the story by the way, I am really bad at tenses and staying with one, lol.
By the way, if anyone has found any major errors in this chapter, like weird spelling mistakes for example, then please tell me, because i only got to go over this once before i posted it up, because it is so long. Thanks, ^__^
By the way I put steps instead of chapters for this story to show the steps the characters go through in this story.
Anyways, I hope y'all like it so far.
There will be another chapter done and posted up soon; but after that I am going to be rather busy revising for my exams so there won't be updates very often. But the good news is, I only have 3 more weeks of exams to go. :D
If I have time, I will try to post up another chapter after the next one, as soon as possible.
Also I wont see my friends much come September because we are going to different colleges, so I have to make the most of my time with them now.
So all in all, updates may be a week apart at least from now on.
Evidently I will be very busy, so don't expect anything up really soon after my next update. :"]
Anyhoo, thanks for reading and please review
