AN: I DO NOT OWN EITHER VAMPIRE KNIGHT OR TWILIGHT. THEY BELONG TO THEIR CREATORS.

Chapter 7

THE NEXT NIGHT

We were already standing at the gate waiting for them to open. Ruka and I stood together because we both thought that the idea of St. Xocolatl's Day was stupid. Hanabusa, of course, thought it was an excellent idea.

The sound of the gate opening jogged my mind back into reality. (Geez I seem to be thinking a lot deeper lately.)

The girls, behind the fences lining both sides of the path, screamed louder as the class was revealed.

When the gates were fully open, Yuki blew her whistle. "Listen up," she yelled. "No cuting in line."

"Wow," Hanabusa said with glee. "This'll be fun."

"This kind of thing doesn't interest me," Senri said in a monotone.

"Just put up with it," Akatsuki and I said together.

"Okay," Yuki started talking again. ""Day Class ladies, it's almost time. Today's event is about to start. Get ready to pass out as many chocolates as you can." She turned to us. "And for you Night Class gentlemen. Stand by your gates and accept the chocolates as they are given to you. We should approach today's event with as much order as possible. And listen. This is not some kind of game. These ladies take this very seriously."

"Taking chocolates from girls is my obligation," Hanabusa said before running towards his gate.

"Wait. It's not time yet Aido."

"Aido," Kaname said causing Hanabusa to freeze and the Night Class and Yuki to look at him. "You must behave yourself today. That understood?"

Hanabusa answered choppily. "Yes. Of course. Lord Kaname."

Yuki bowed to Kaname in respect. "Thank you, Kaname. I appreciate it." She straightened and ran to the middle of the lines. "On the whistle girls." She held said item to her mouth. "Ready." She blew her whistle.

All of the guys, except Senri and Kaname, went to their designated gates and started to accept the chocolates given to them. Senri was slowly walking down the path with Rima. Kaname was still near the gate to the dorm with Seiren. I was standing with Hanabusa to try and make sure he didn't do anything wrong, which is hard work let me tell you. And Ruka was standing away from the gates in the middle of the path.

Takuma, who was a couple of gates down from where Hanabusa and I were standing and accepting his chocolates, noticed Senri walking past with Rima. "Hold on," she said. "What are you doing Shiki? You must accept them as well." He grabbed Senri by the arm. "Sorry everyone. I'm bringing Shiki to you right now." And with that he dragged Senri to the appropriate group.

I heard some girls start to give Kaname chocolates. I paid no attention to them as I was paying attention to Hanabusa.

He wasn't doing anything wrong, yet, so I tuned into what Ruka was saying as she had a frown on her face.

"I hope these girls realise how fortunate they are that Kaname is so nice," she said.

Akatsuki moved to stand next to her, his arms full of chocolates. "You look scary," he told her.

"The expression on your face isn't any better. They're giving you chocolates, the least you could do is smile."

I saw the Day Class Rep. go up to Ruka with a box of chocolates in his hands. I silently laughed at this.

"Um, Ruka?" he asked stuttering.

"What is it?" she demanded, sharply turning her head to look at him.

"I got you this. To show you how I feel."

Ruka was annoyed and reluctant. But, as per tradition of the school, she grudgingly accepted the chocolate.

When my attention returned to Hanabusa he was leaning towards one of the girls. She looked a bit shaken. I, unfortunately, had not heard what he had said.

"Ha?" the girl questioned. "It's- It's Type O."

Why would you ask them about their blood type? I thought as Yuki stepped in front of him blowing her whistle and holding a red card.

"Idol," she started, taking on the Day Class name for him. "I mean Aido, stop. I said all you could take are their chocolates. Nothing else."

"Alright then," Hanabusa sighed. He then looked at Ruka, who was now simply staring at Kaname. The two of us walked to stand beside her.

We got to her as two girls were trying to give chocolates to Kaname.

"I'm sorry," he said kindly. "My hands are full. I'm afraid I just can't accept any more."

All of the Night Class heard this and took it as a sign to get to class.

"I still can't believe Kiryu would say something to Lord Kaname like that," Hanabusa fumed.

"You're still not going on about that are you?" Takuma asked disbelievingly.

"Why wouldn't we be?" Ruka asked.

"He disrespected Kaname with what he said," I added, also still fuming about what was said to my brother yesterday.

Takuma stopped n front of us, making us stop as well. He turned to us with a stern look. "Don't even think about going after him," he said glaring at all of us. We were all frozen in our spots, as we hadn't heard Takuma so stern. He was always so care free. He glared at us for a little bit longer before stalking back towards the classrooms.

After a moment of shock, Hanabusa spoke. "So what do you say guys?" he asked. "Do we go after go after him ourselves or leave him alone?"

"I say we go after him," I said. Ruka nodded in agreement.

Rima and Senri simply shrugged their shoulders.

"I think that I'll go to make sure you don't do anything stupid," Akatsuki said.

"Then let's go find him then," Hanabusa said grabbing my hand and pulling me into the forest surrounding the school. The others followed silently.
