But I'm a Freak
-
Note to pureblood-ryamiaka: Thanks for reviewing. I am glad the last chapter cleared things up; it's why I had the whole chapter of explanations. Yeah, it is Kain in her dreams, is it that obvious. And indeed, Kain is in a daze about seeing her, he knows he's seen her somewhere before, lol. Anyway thanks again for reviewing and I hope you enjoy my latest chapter of But I'm A Freak. ^__^

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.
-
I was wondering why I wasn't getting any reviews for this chapter.
No wonder.
I forgot to post it up, silly me, lol.
Sorry. I can be so forgetful sometimes.
Well here is the very late chapter and since I have already written the next chapter I will post that one up very soon. ^__^
Also, sorry the last chapter was a bit boring, but it was needed to explain everything really.
So I hope this chapter is better. :"]
Oh and by the way, I am trying to write my chapters completely in the past tense or maybe it's the present tense, I'm not quite sure to be honest, so I hope I do alright, I just don't understand tenses very well, lol. Please tell me how I am doing, thanks. ^__^

Yuki and Yori walked in to class just as they normally do; they have to act the same around everyone, even though Yuki now knows Yori's deepest, darkest and rather dangerous secret.
They took their seats next to each other; one row from the back of the classroom and proceed to talk about nothing in particular again; mostly about their upcoming exams, revision and their summer holidays.
As usual, as soon as the teacher arrived Yuki sat down and leant her head in her folded arms on her desk, closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep almost instantly.
Yori got her things out, ready to make notes for the lesson but as she watched Yuki sleep, the feeling of tiredness swept over her; she had only gotten a couple of hours sleep at the most that night, so she was very tired.
-
About half way through the first lesson Yuki was already deeply asleep, snoring away quietly. Next to her was Yori who found it extremely hard to stay awake.
She watched her friend while in good spirits, happy that Yuki had accepted her for whom she was, and her unusual 'talent', as her friend liked to call it.
Then Yori remembered what Yuki told her. At least they shared one experience; they both had a forgotten past.
But that was what puzzled Yori the most, not her power, but her missing memories of her past. She decided not to dwell on it though because she could barely stay awake at the time, let alone think. Besides, she hadn't wanted to give up her happy mood so soon.
She looked over at her friend again and she understood why Yuki slept in class most of the time.
And for once she slept too, much to the surprise of the teachers and other students.
-
Yori and Yuki both woke up when they heard the bell go for break and lunch -they spent their time idly chatting, eating and waiting for the day to finally end- but besides that they sleep through all their lessons.
-
Finally it was the end of the day and the teacher surprisingly let them off for sleeping in class, after Yori had lied and said that they had been up all night doing extra studying.
The teacher lectured them to sleep more at night and told them that she wouldn't give them supplementary classes, this time anyway.
They both thanked the teacher and when she realised she was still extremely tired, Yori decided to go back to their dorm room and sleep for a bit while Yuki did her prefect duties and went to see Zero who had been missing from their classes all day.
Yuki was very worried about him by now and decided to go find him before her guardian duties started, but when they were leaving the building a day class student came up to them and told Yuki that the headmaster urgently wanted to see her in his office right now.
She looked at Yori and they exchanged worried glances before they walked 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 wanted to see her so urgently.
On the way, she realised she would have to put off finding Zero till later now, which put her in an even worse mood, since she was very concerned about him; he was never ill.
-a-
Yuki arrived outside the headmaster's office door a few minutes later.
She stood nervously, silent for a minute or so.
She was worried about why he wanted to see her, thinking up all kinds of possibilities before she realised that she should just find out.
She hesitantly knocked on the headmaster's thick oak door.
From the other side she heard him telling her to come in.
She obeyed and stepped in to the room; she glanced around as she closed the door behind her and she noticed that Kaname, Aidou and Kain were all there.
'This couldn't be good' she thought.
The best explanation she could think of was that they had found out about Yori somehow.
But Yuuki remained indifferent and asked the headmaster what she had been summoned for.
He told her that they wanted to know exactly what had happened the other night and who the girl who had been seen rescuing her was.
Her suspicions were at least partly true anyway, but they didn't know that the girl was Yori. She calmed herself and thought of a perfect way to get out of this.
"I'm sorry headmaster, but I do not know what girl you are talking about" she said innocently with wide eyes that she knew the headmaster and Kaname couldn't resist.
She felt a little bad for lying to them but it was for Yori's sake.
"But Yuuki, Aidou and Kain here said that they saw a girl dragging you away." The headmaster exclaimed.
Yuuki pretended to look deep in thought then replied, "I'm sorry headmaster but I do not remember there being another girl there except for the two unconscious day class girls."
The headmaster and Kaname had instantly believed her and looked coldly at the two night class boys.
Kaname turned to them, "Well, Aidou it seems that you were mistaken."
Then he looked back at Yuuki and asked her to tell them exactly what happened the other night then.
Yuuki wasn't bothered about what had happened really, it wasn't much of a shock to her, not now that she knew Yori's secret.
So she had to put on a feigned appearance of being a little distressed about recalling the incident.
She proceeded to tell her account, acting slightly dramatic by looking uneasy; although it was all fake she couldn't believe it had an effect on them to see her like this, she had been sure they would see through her act.
"Well, I was on my guardian duties when I saw a couple of day class girls wondering around the grounds and one of them was hurt and bleeding. I rushed over to them and tried to get them back to their dorms quickly. But before I could act Aidou and Kain turned up, blocking my way. Aidou exclaimed how the blood smelled so nice; I didn't want him to hurt the day class girls so I stood in front of them to protect them. But then he told me that it wasn't their blood that smelled so good, it was mine; it was then I realised that I had cut my hand a little when I jumped down from the tree I had swung from previously. I tried to get the day class girls to go back to their dorms before anything happened but they just kept swooning over Aidou. Then when Aidou couldn't hold his craving in any longer he grabbed my cut hand and pulled it to his face. I tired to use Artemis to protect myself now, but Aidou was too strong."
She made a show of looking uneasy about the whole thing by wringing her hands while speaking and sometimes stuttering as if it was horrible to remember.
"Before I could push him away or resist anymore Aidou sank his fangs in to my hand and started to suck my blood. That was when I heard the girls behind me scream about Aidou being a vampire and then I heard a soft thud as they fainted. I was a little worried about them and that they knew the secret, but I was sure you could erase that part of their memories. Now I was more focused on getting myself out of this situation. That was when Aidou asked me if he could take some blood from my neck and he sank his fangs in to my hands once more drawing out blood, looking at me with hazy red eyes. I knew I was in real trouble then, so I had to come up with something quickly. While the whole thing was happening Kain was behind us, not really doing anything, but he did check on the day class girls while they were unconscious to clear their memories of that night."
Yuuki didn't mind Kain, she actually liked him, he was a quiet vampire and she knew he didn't have any bad intentions and he was always being dragged in to his cousin's schemes. She felt a little sorry for him in fact and hadn't mentioned him much.
"He seemed very persistent in drinking my blood, so before Aidou had retracted his fangs from my hand I managed to kick him really hard, it took all my strength but it worked and he let go of me in an instant. That was when I made a run for it. I knew Aidou would have to take care of the day class girls so that they didn't remember anything, so he would be too distracted to chase after me. I ran as fast as I could towards my dorm room. I didn't stop till I was safely locked inside my room." Yuuki told them.
So that's it, that is exactly what happened last night. Is there anything else you wanted from me headmaster?" She asked.
"No Yuuki that was all, thank you my dear, I am sure it wasn't pleasant for you to recount your experience. I assure you these two will be severely punished for their actions." He told her as he waved a hand in the direction of Aidou and Kain.
She turned to Kaname, bowed and said goodnight to them.
Just before she was about to turn the handle on the door to leave she felt someone's hand on her head.
Kaname pulled her toward him and he seemed shocked when nothing happened. He had tried to use his hypnosis powers on her mind but it hadn't worked; obviously he didn't believe all of her story.
She was shocked and then anger washed over her. She pushed him away from her and glared at him as she stormed out, slamming the door behind her so hard that it made the wall shake.
-a-
In the headmasters office the headmaster, Kaname, Aidou and Kain were all still stood there, surprised by what had just happened; they were still staring a the place where a very pissed off and angry looking Yuuki had previously stood.
"What just happened Kaname? Headmaster Cross asked him the obvious question going through all their minds.
"I have no idea headmaster. I wanted to see if everything she had said was the complete truth so I tried to scan her brain, but there was a defensive wall blocking my intrusion so I couldn't pick up anything.
Obviously Yuuki has somehow taught herself to be immune to mind probing. I don't know how but she has. She has trained her mind to defend itself just like she trained her body. When I tried to look inside her mind I got a sharp shock of rejection and before I could try anything else she stormed away. This would explain why she is so mad, nobody likes having their minds invaded, especially not teenage girls. She is especially mad at me for not trusting her and for trying to look inside her mind, I can tell." Kaname told him and sighed, wondering how to get his Yuuki back.
The others stared in to space for a while, all immersed in their own thoughts.
The silence was broken when the headmaster dismissed them and told Kaname to punish them for breaking the rules.
Kaname looked at the two vampires with an angry look. He was very mad at Aidou for even touching his precious Yuuki and he was annoyed at Kain for not stopping his stupid persistent cousin. He glared at them, which signalled for them to follow him for their punishment; Aidou and Kain left the headmasters office in eerie silence following their pureblood leader, wondering what their punishment would be this time.
-a-
Yuuki ran all the way back to her room. She needed to find Yori and tell her what had happened; right now Yuuki didn't care about her prefect duties at all and was clearly very upset by what had just happened.
It was like Kaname had just betrayed her; he didn't trust her.
Even if she had lied it was to protect her friend, she didn't regret doing it.
It was all she could think about as she made her way quickly back to the day class girl's dorms.
-
Yori was asleep on her bed when Yuuki stormed in to their room.
She immediately woke when she heard Yuuki enter the room, she was a light sleeper and Yuuki was also in a huff, which didn't help much.
Yuuki was trying not to let her anger out and was trying to contain it and rationalise with herself to think about things.
She could tell that her friend was extremely upset and mad about something by just a single glance.
Yuuki's face was red and she kept pacing back and forth beside her bed as if deep in thought.
Something was definitely on her mind.
Surprisingly she didn't rush around to go do her guardian duties, which greatly surprised Yori.
Yuuki looked over at her friend and realises she was awake now.
Yori was sitting up on her bed, ready to ask Yuuki what's the matter.
But before she could even say anything Yuuki broke the tension.
"I'm sorry Yori-chan. I didn't mean to wake you. I'm just so angry about what happened at the headmasters office that's all."
Don't worry about it Yuuki. What happened at the headmasters office to make you so upset?" She asked her friend.
Yuki explained what happened in the headmaster's office to her; that they had asked her about the mysterious girl who had rescued her and what had happened exactly. So Yuuki had lied and told them that there was no girl and she managed to escape Aidou's clutches by herself.
She had been so sure that they had believed her, until Kaname tried to read her mind that is; but of course he couldn't because she had taught her mind to defend itself against intruders with a little trick she somehow remembered from her past.
Yori was amazed and hugged Yuuki and thanked her for keeping her secret.
Then she asked her friend about the mind trick that she remembered and Yuuki promised to teach it to her sometime, in case they figured out that she was the rescuer and they come to her for information.
"I had been so worried when they said they knew a girl had rescued me the other night. But I was relieved that they didn't know it was you, so I just lied to them. Don't worry Yori-chan, I will never betray your secret." Yuuki told her friend.
Yori smiled at Yuuki. She was happy to have her as a friend. "So what are you going to do now Yuuki?"
"Well for now I am going to ditch guardian duties for a while until I cool down about everything. At least tonight I will be getting a good nights sleep. The night class can handle the screaming fan girls themselves for once and when morning comes I will go find Zero before classes; when I am less tired and a lot calmer." Yuuki told her friend.
"Sounds like a good idea" Yori said as she giggled at the thought of the night class being attacked by the fan girls without the guardians there to help.
'Well that answers my question about why Yuuki isn't doing her guardian duties.' Yori thought.
While Yori was deep in thought, amused by the idea of the night class getting by without Yuuki for the night, Yuuki got changed in to her pyjamas and flopped down on her bed across from Yori.
Yori was already in her bedclothes since she had previously been asleep until Yuuki had come back.
They look at each other, sharing a slightly worried look, before they started talking normally again.
They spent at least a couple of hours talking.
They talked mostly about Yori's powers and shared their ideas about how to control them and keep them secret from everyone else. It would be tough but they could do it with each other's help. Yuuki suggested that they do some training with her powers to get them in use, that way they may be easier to control. Yori had agreed to try it and this was their most likely to succeed tactic to control Yori's raging powers right now.
After their 'business talk' they made plans for the weekend. They arranged to go out to town for a shopping trip to relax them before they start on Yori's training.
-
They finished talking and found that they could barely keep their eyes open by now.
Yuuki and Yori were still tired from the night before, so they got under their covers and went to bed early, not bothered about much else except sleeping after their hectic twenty-four hours they have just had to endure.
They set their alarms to get them up early so that they could be up and ready in time to check on Zero before the hectic Friday classes start; it was always hectic the day before the weekend.
Yuuki settled down and as Yori drifted back in to sleep Yuuki lay awake for a little while longer, thinking about things.
She had ditched her prefect duties for the night because she was so angry with Kaname for trying to invade her privacy and not trusting her.
But she also still wanted to find Zero, which was the other reason why she had skipped her duties; so that she could get some sleep before getting up early to see him in the morning before classes.
As she was falling asleep Yuuki was thinking the whole time, her thoughts were menacingly about how the night class would handle themselves tonight without her there to push back the hordes of shrieking fan girls.
She fell asleep with a smile on her lips at the thought of Aidou being chased.
She was also very mad at Kaname, for what he had tired to do to her but chose to leave it alone for now, relishing in her good nights sleep for once.
She knew she would feel very well rested in the morning, for once.
-a-
Kain was back in his room at last.
It was almost light out and his punishment was finally over.
He had been made to sit inside the huge freezer room for hours, which obviously wouldn't kill a vampire like it might a human, but it still wasn't a very pleasant experience.
Not only was he freezing cold now, but also because his power was fire he had to refrain from using it by order of Kaname Kuran.
He had to admit though that the pureblood leader certainly came up with unusual punishments.
Well at least it was over for him now, unlike Aidou who was made to stand out in the hall, balancing buckets full of water on his head and in his arms.
It was a very unusual punishment and he didn't know how long it would last but he had to say that it was certainly amusing to watch his idiot cousin trying not to move an inch in fear of spilling a drop of water because then he would have to endure the wrath of a Kaname Kuran.
He didn't see why the pureblood leader was so interested and protective of the human girl anyway.
But Yuuki Cross was most certainly someone important to the pureblood, and for some reason Aidou just wouldn't learn not to touch her, he even seemed to find it a challenge with the pureblood in the loop.
He stopped thinking about the things that get him in to trouble now, mostly his cousin and Yuuki Cross it seemed, although she hadn't mentioned him much thankfully.
Kain went to have a shower and then got dressed for bed.
He lay there trying to sleep but there was still one thing on his mind that just wouldn't go away; He could have sworn he recognised that girl last night, the girl that Yuuki refused to admit exists.
-A-
So, that was chapter three of 'But I'm A Freak'.
I hope it wasn't too boring and that y'all liked it.
It was technically part of chapter two, but I decided to split the last chapter in to two parts and put this bit as chapter 3; mostly because chapter 2 was becoming ridiculously long, lol.
Anyhoo, thanks for reading and please review.
