I lounged against the wall that held the gate between the day class and the night class, watching as Yuuki and Zero held the flood of day class students back. I watched in silence for a few moments, until I noticed one girl slip passed them and sneak up to the gate.
Smooth as a snake I slid over until I was right behind the trespasser. "Excuse me," I said, the sweetest smile on my face as the girl jumped and spun to face me. "I'm new here, so I'm not quite sure of the rules, but I do believe you're not supposed to be over here, are you?"
The girl gasped and tried to mutter some kind of an excuse. I just smiled, perhaps a bit wider then was absolutely necessary. "You should go back now. And I'd hurry, before Zero notices you."
"Y-yes." the girl stuttered, backing away from me and away from the gate. "I-I'll go right now. Sorry." She ran off back towards her friends as fast as her feet could take her.
I smiled just a bit wider. Give me a week and every student in this school would be dancing to whatever tune I felt like playing. Except for the night class. Them I would have to be very careful around if I didn't want to upset Kaname's rule. And I suspected the only reason these vampires were here at all was because Kaname had asked them to.
Behind me the gate creaked open.
I spun around as the night students, the vampires, dressed in their stunning white uniforms walked through the gate. I didn't move so much as an inch as each of them passed me, giving me no more then a cursory glance at most.
And then, walking behind the rest, Kaname Kuran.
He, of all of them, was the only one to walk up and greet me. He stopped a few paces in front of me and nodded in greeting. "Kara."
"Kaname." I said with a grin. "It's been awhile." I noticed he had grown so he was now almost two inches taller then me, where as before his head had barely reached my shoulder. He seemed also much more confidant then he had all those years ago, and he carried himself with a quiet dignity and a sense of purpose. Not to mention he was drop dead handsome.
"Kaname." A warning from one of the vampires at his shoulder. I looked up to find the rest of the night class had halted in their tracks and were watching our exchange with interest.
Kaname looked back at me. "I have to get to class now. We'll talk later."
I shrugged. "Fine with me."
He breezed passed me, leading his followers on to the school. I was left with a small smile on my face. Judging by Kaname's behavior, he still had no idea who I am. Perhaps it was time to enlighten him.
