This is not actually slash but it will have a few moments where if you want you can imagine it as slash, although it will be a little heavy it is not actual slash, it is like Aidou is with Kaname. So you can imagine it either way.

Chapter Two: The New Student and an Eye Witness
Aidou Hanabusa's Nightmare
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" a girl screamed in the dark. The scream was high pitched, so the girl sounded very young.
Aidou looked around desperately, he didn't know where he was, everything was too dark and he could only make out a tree where he stood, it was tall like a pine tree, the pine tree had been carved in. When he felt it, he realized it was writting that spelt his name. It was night and the cool air brushed his skin, gently blowing his hair from his face, clothes rippling slightly. The chill sent shivers down his skin and gave him slight goosebumps on his arms. Aidou licked his lips and reached up, massaging the back of his neck, something was unnerving, that's when he realized the girls screaming had stopped.
Looking around, Aidou noticed something glowing in the dark distance. Bright orbs, bright red orbs with yellow pupils. Aidou screamed, spun around and ran as fast as he could into the dark. He ran and ran, nearly tripping twice, knocking into trees so many times that he lost count.
Whenever he looked back the eyes were catching up slightly, he wasn't afraid of the eyes, he was afraid of whatever the eyes where attached to. He ran and ran when he saw the girl in front of him. It was Erica, standing, staring at him, eyes wide with fear and loneliness, from the look of what he saw in her eyes she was empty, a empty body with no soul or life in her, yet she stood, breathing and screaming.
The thing behind him jumped and landed between Aidou and his sister. Aidou yelled but froze with fear and stared at the wolf, the wolf's body changed suddenly into a man, but it was a shadow man, no colour except for its eyes. It reached over and stroked Aidou's cheek, brushing away the tears of fear that feel. Aidou fell to his knees in front of the thing as his sisters screams echoed in his ears. The creature leaned down, still stroking his cheek, and whispered into his ear, the words were his language but he couldn't seem to understand them anyway.
"Please" Aidou whispered crying "Please... don't"
The creature smirked, put his face in front of his, its hand gripping Aidou's chin, the other hand moving in a mesmerising way, back and forth in front of his eyes slowly. Aidou watched him when the hands darted forward and ripped into his right eyes.
Aidou screamed himself awake, a lot louder than normal, waking most of the other people in the night class. Most jumped from their beds and rushed from the room to see if whoever it was screaming was alright, some stayed in bed, looking around, too shocked to move.
One vampire, the one who slept in the bed beside Aidou was out of bed, beside his cousin, holding him close in seconds from waking by the scream. He held his cousin close and whispered that it would be OK. Aidou shook and clung to Kain, he felt sick, so very sick! His luck continued when the door opened and he threw up violently, on himself, on his bed and all over his cousin, Kain.
"Hanabusa?" came Rima's voice
"Greeeeeat" Kain mumbled as he looked at himself
"Are you OK?" came Ichijo's voice as well
Aidou was embarrassed and still sick, he began to cough and choke on his own bile. Kain slapped his back lightly, ignoring the fact that he was dripping in half digested food. It took him almost ten minutes to calm Aidou down but by the time he did Kaname had got everyone to get ready for class.
"Here" Kain said, he went into the bathroom and came back with a blue wet cloth, he reached over and gently began to wipe around Aidou's mouth and down his top like he was a child. Aidou sat there and let him, then watched as he went, wet the cloth again, came back and wiped the bed down, then done the same and cleaned himself up. When he was done he helped Aidou onto his bed and sat beside him "You're not going to tell me about this nightmare either, are you?"
"No" he whispered without a moment hesitation
"Hanabusa... Maybe... If you spoke about it... It could help" Kain pushed
"No!" he snapped and shivered
"Fine" Kain sighed and looked up at the bed "I think you should stay in bed today, sleep in mine until we can change your duvet"
"I don't want to stay, I want to go to class" Aidou said quietly
"Hanabusa you are-" Kain began
"Look! I just want to go alright! It gets my mind off it!" Aidou snapped
Kain stared at Aidou for a second, then sighed and ran a hand through his strawberry blond hair and shrugged "Fine, but if anything happens you have to come straight back here, understand?" when Aidou didn't reply Kain snapped "Hanabusa!"
"I understand" he sighed
"Good" Kain went over and patted him gently on the shoulder "We better get ready then"
Aidou nodded and stood up. He went into the bathroom and washed his face properly, then done his teeth, he stared at his haunted blue eyes in the mirror and licked his dry and bitten lips. He closed his eyes for a second and shivered, the creature... the one with those eyes... Aidou knew him...
Shaking his head furiously, and then instantly regretting it as he grew dizzy and staggered. When he regained his balance he swallowed and left the bathroom, allowing Kain to go in, already dressed in his white uniform. Aidou undressed and looked at his body for a moment, for some reason his pale shaken skin made him sick again so he quickly dressed in his own uniform.
When they were done, Kain and Aidou went down to see the others all dressed and waiting. They all looked up, slightly surprised to see Aidou coming, they expected him to stay home and sleep for the day. Instead he smiled at them and acted as if nothing happened and it was a normal day.
"Before we go" Kaname said standing in front of the doors "I have an announcement to make"
They all looked up, Ruka sitting on one of the chairs beside Rima and Shiki. Ichijo standing beside Kaname with Seiren on the other side of him, Aidou and Kain at the stairs.
"There will be a new student joining us today. A young boy, he is about mine and Ichijo's age" Kaname explained "We will be meeting him in the class room, so let's go"
"Yes Kaname" they all chanted and, those sitting, stood up, all slowly walking out of the dorm and down to the gates.
When they reached them they heard all the girls once more. Yuuki's voice called as she struggled to contain them, it was easy to tell when Zero wasn't there because the girls were twice as loud, like they were right now. Aidou suddenly looked queasy, he and Kain stood at the back for once, they were normally just behind Kaname or at the front and so no one saw Aidou except Kain. He gently touched his hand but Aidou just put on a grin and shrugged like it was no big deal.
As the gates opened and everyone stepped out, the screams really increased. One of the girls ran forward and hugged Ichijo who laughed and gently prised their arms off from around him. Some of the girls screamed their names while others just pushed forward and drooled over them.
Aidou waved to them like always, smirking slightly, when he saw one girl he blew her a kiss, driving them all mad, making them all jump in front of her, desperate for the air kiss. Aidou blew a few more to random girls who nearly got trampled until Kain grabbed his hand giving him a stern "That's enough" look.
"You really do need to have more fun" Aidou smirked but stopped giving out his kisses
*VK*VK*VK*
"Everyone" the head master smiled at them "This is Kagutska Yoru"
They all looked up to see a skinny boy standing at the front. He had bright blazing blood red hair, it was slightly long and covered his eyes and most of his face, sticking to his face and neck. His skin is of course pale and his nails were short and bitten down. He was rather short and had a few freckles on his cheeks, he wore the same white uniform and stood with his arms cross and head down, hiding most of his face.
"He will be joining this class for a while, I hope you all show him some respect and make him feel welcome, I will leave it at that" the headmaster smiled, he nodded at the new teacher, a very old man that had come and taught occasionally when they couldn't find anyone, then he left.
The boy remained at the front, looking at the floor, arms crossed over his chest. Ichijo went down to him and smiled, greeting him to the night class, the boy barley came up to his chest, yet he was suppose to be older than Ichijo* and kept his silence.
"Um... OK then... Um..." Ichijo didn't know what else to say
"Where do I sit?" the boy asked suddenly, his voice was hard and strong, he looked up at Ichijo, making him jump.
"Um... uh... anywhere" Ichijo said quickly, staring at the boy.
Yoru nodded and then, let his head drop back to the floor before walking over to one of the desks. He chose the one right in front of Aidou. He set down his few books on his desk then suddenly turned around and faced him. Aidou frowned as the boy rested on his desk. Yoru reached up and brushed the hair from his face and blinked up at Aidou.
Aidou dropped his pen, it rolled and landed onto the floor, he pushed back so violently the chair hit the desk behind him hard making a loud noise and people stare at him. But he didn't care... For the boy in front of him... Had red eyes with bright yellow pupils.
*VK*VK*VK*
"Hello" Yoru raises one of his thin eyebrows at Aidou as he stared in horror at the boy
Aidou said nothing as he stared at Yoru. His eyes, what are the chances, all the nightmares, all the animals, all the chances and this kid... Suddenly Aidou heard wolves howling right into his ear. He covered his ears and roared in pain as he legs buckled and he fell to the ground, mind fogging, going blank, unable to understand what anyone was saying, unable to make out any shapes.
Suddenly someone grabbed him and helped him sit down, Aidou shut his eyes, hands still over his ears, the howling still so loud. Feeling sick he pushed the person away, leaned over and violently threw up on the floor. He felt someone grab his shoulders and pull him up, pulling him from the room.
Yoru looked at the others, then down at the sick, then back at the others "What was all that about?"
"Um..." Ruka mumbled "We are not quiet sure"
"He was weird" Yoru smirked "I liked him" They all looked at Yoru oddly as he stared at the door where Kain had taken Aidou. He smirked and whispered, mostly to himself "I liked him a lot"
Kaname rose an eyebrow but Yoru couldn't see and continued to stare off after Aidou. Everyone was rather uncomfortable by that lesson. The only calm person seemed to be Yoru whom found everything that had happened almost laughable.
Yoru was strange, he was dark and mysterious, wouldn't tell anyone anything about himself, barley spoke to people, then he had his sick sense of humour and he could be really cheerful, as long as he was cheerful about a tragedy.
When they got back to the night class dorms they found Kain, carrying a tray of toast, orang juice, pills and graps up the stairs. He must have known they were there but he ignored them and walked up the stairs then down the corridor.
"Where is he going?" Yoru asked
"Probably to Aidou" Ruka said walking passed and heading to her own room
"Does he sleep in the room beside him?"
"No they share" Ichijo said as he went and sat down
"Akatsuki is lucky" Yoru suddenly smiled, his head staring at his feet, hair in font of his face "I want to go see them"
"That probably isn't a good idea" Shiki said
But Yoru ignored him and headed for the stairs, he looked back "Oh, don't worry, I will get someone to show me my room later" he gave a quick bow before quickly jogging up the stairs gracefully.
With a little knock he walked into the room to see Aidou laying on the bed, looking rather ill, Kain beside him, stroking his hair. Yoru scowled at Kain but then smiled when he looked up and walked over casually. Kain frowned, it was clear he didn't want him to be here. He had seen how Aidou reacted and had a good feeling that this child had either done something or reminded him some how of something to cause him to be so ill.
"Hello" Yoru smiled when he stood beside Aidou and in fornt of Kain
"Can I help you?" Kain scowled
"Yes, I was hoping if I could ask what is wrong with him" he nodded towards Aidou.
"Nothing" Kain obviosuly lied
"Riiiiiiight" Yoru smirked
"Get out" Kain demanded
"I wanted to see him" Yoru said, watching Aidou
"Aidou is sick" someone said, Yoru looked around quickly and saw Kaname standing in the doorway "Leave him be Yoru"
"...Yes Dorm President Kuran" Yoru smiled and bowed "Anything you say"
Kain and Kaname watched as Yoru left, he risked one last glance at Aidou and then asked Ichijo, whom had been watching from behind Kaname, to show him to his room. When they were gone Kaname walked into the room and shut the door. When he was beside Aidou he stared at him but spoke to Kain.
"How is he?"
"Not much better" Kain mumbled "He is getting even paler, and his breathings funny... He keeps mumbling in his sleep... And he is sweating like mad yet he feels freezing... I think he is really sick"
"Give it one more day, then we will call someone" Kaname said, watching Aidou with worry, they had been friends since he was little, at least that was how he saw it. And although he might never say it allowed, he was extremely worried about him.
"Alright" Kain nodded
Kaname went to the door, he opened it and stepped outside then looked back "Get some sleep" it wasn't a suggestion or question, it was an order. Kain nodded again and looked back at his cousin. Sighing he stood up, and changed into his nigh clothes, then made his way over to his own bed.
*VK*VK*VK*
Aidou Hanabusa's Dream
"How come you didn't come back?" Erica sobbed
Aidou stood, he was tied up like before, wrists bound, ankles bound, head tied so he could look no where but up, he wasn't tied to anything yet he couldn't move. Erica stood, same clothes and look as before, only her face, hands and dress was all stained with a horrible red blood. She looked terrified and alone, they were in a strange place, everything made out of hard stone, most of the stone had been broken apart and there were holes in the grey filthy walls, the ground was cracked with moss and grass growing through the stone tiles. At one end were large wooden doors, amazingly one of the only things that were still completely in tact. The other thing still in tact was the large stone falcon at the other end of the strange place, apart from the falcon, the whole place was bare and plain, not including the slabs of rock, stone, boulders and bricks that lay crushed on the floor.
Then suddenly behind the falcon, stood a dog and a man, both with gleaming red eyes and yellow pupils. The dog howled and snarled, almost grinning, the man smirked and began to walk forward towards Erica.
"No!" Aidou screamed "Don't touch her!"
The man chuckled and waved a hand, the animal walked around Erica and made his way to Aidou. He gasped and tugged at the ropes but they held him in place, suddenly there was giggling he looked up and saw Erica, she looked like she was giggling. When he blinked again she was sobbing again. Aidou turned his attention back to the black shadow animal.
"Stay away!" Aidou screamed and tried to pull harder at the ropes around his wrists.
There was another giggle, it sounded so much like Erica but her face was cold and her eyes were empty, and then the man walked up behind her, he smirked and stroked her hair, Erica began to cry, she was only little... barley five years old. Aidou wanted to yell at him to leave her alone but he was terrified of the dog that began to walk around his trapped legs mockingly.
The man raised a hand and dug it deeply into Erica's chest, Aidou screamed and tugged harder at his wrist, when the man suddenly wasn't killing his sister, in fact the man had just suddenly disappeared while Erica lay on the floor, covered in her own blood, eyes wide and there was no breath entering or leaving her body. Then the man stood behind Aidou, how did they both move so fast without being seen?
"G...G...G...Get away!" Aidou shouted
The man chuckled and ran his hands over the ropes, they suddenly turned black and crumbled apart, Aidou was free but he was still stuck with fear, he wanted to look forward, look at his sister but his eyes where stuck on the red and yellow ones beside him. Beside, he didn't really want to see her, he didn't know if he would be able to handle seeing her dead body laying there.
"I will be seeing you soon" he whispered into Aidou's ear and held up something.
It was like a rose only a lot different to any ordinary rose, the stem and thorns were bright blood red, the rose petals where yellow with what looked like a red thumb print.
"Remember" the man whispered as the rose was forced into Aidou's hand "You belong to me, that is something you cannot fight... its destiny"
Aidou stared at him, shaking, what did he mean 'belong?'. But his thoughts were broken once again by his sisters screams. He looked forward, the man and the dog just disappeared like that, just him and his dead sister. Aidou stumbled forward, still holding the rose, only when he looked at himself he looked like his seven year old self.
"Erica?" he whispered
"A....Ai...Aidou" Erica whispered, how, she was suppose to be dead, but here she was talking to him, there was nothing but pain and torture in her voice and face "... Wh ... Why? Wh ... Why didn't you ... help me"
"I ... I tried"
"LIAR!" Erica screamed she jumped up, her eyes were glowing a mix of red and yellow as she attacked him
Aidou woke with a scream and clutched something to his chest. He and looked down... he was holding the strange rose the man had given him in his dream. He didn't know, nor care, how this was possible, he was still to shaken by the night mare he had just had. Shaking he looked up to see Erica, standing, staring at him, she was glaring, angrily. Aidou clutched the rose and yelped when he looked down, one of the thorns had pricked him.
When he looked back up, Erica was gone. The rose remained but his sister was gone. Shaking and hiccuping he looked over but Kain wasn't in his bed. Aidou could only assume he had gone to the class. Aidou stood and looked down at the rose, then at his finger which was already healing itself. He glared and reached up, pulling each petal of the rose off then threw all of it into the bin.
When he looked up again he saw a pair of gleaming red and yellow eyes in the bathroom mirror, the door was wide open even though both Kain and Hanabusa usually closed the doors. Shaking he found himself jumping in bed and pulled the covers over him like a child. His finger was sore but he would live, he should try and get more sleep, no point in being a baby like this.
"There's nothing there" he whispered to himself as he lay down "There's nothing there" he shut his eyes tightly "There's nothing there" he repeated over and over
If he had pulled down the blanket, opened his eyes and looked, he would have saw that not only were the eyes not going away, but that Erica held out a hand to the mirror, and allowed a dark shadow to walk through into the bathroom.
*VK*VK*VK*
Ayaka was a very simple pretty girl, she never got into fights, she always done as told, one of the best students in the class, but just because she was best didn't mean that she was smart. If she were smart, she would have known that if someone was tapping at your window you do not let them in.
She would have woken her room mate but the person out her window had been someone she liked for a very long time and she couldn't resist opening it. They climbed in and smiled at her and she grinned like an idiot. If Ayaka had been smart she would have realized it very strange this person managed to climb into her window when she was quite high up.
"What are you doing here?" she whispered
"I came to see you" he whispered and suddenly kissed her
Never in her life would Ayaka believed she was really kissing him. She couldnt believe it was his arms around her, or his hand in her black hair, or his eyes on hers. Ayaka didnt know how long the kiss lasted for but then he pulled back and kissed her chin, then her neck, he stopped there and began to kiss her neck constantly.
Then, the boy grinned, showing sharp fangs and sunk his teeth deep into her neck. Ayaka could only gasp on shock and cough as the boy she always admired drank her blood. Soon, her eyes rolled into darkness, at least not before she let out a cough as she choked up blood, waking her roommate.
Her room mate, Sharon, woke and frowned when she saw something, holding Ayaka up and kissing her neck. That was when she saw the blood. She gasped and jumped up, even before the person spun around on her she knew who it was.
"HANABUSA AIDOU!" she cried
The blond spun, throwing Ayaka to the floor and pouncing on Sharon. She tried to scream but suddenly his blood red eyes shone in her face and froze her to the spot, she stood but he had already grabbed her and threw her too the wall.
Aidou didn't waist any time, he ran, leaving the girls, and jumped out the window, landed gently on his feet and running for his own dorm at incredible speed. By the time the other night class students realized the blood smell was too strong he would be gone, and the girl would be dead. Sharon was a problem, normally the room mate kept quiet and the other didn't wake, normally they girl wouldn't choke or if she did, they wouldn't stir from such a soft noise, but he threw her pretty hard and her head hit the wall, chances are, she forgot what she saw.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Thank you for answer my age question Captain Observant, I will use that for the age limits when I use them so thank you!!!!
