Yuuki POV
We walked into the classroom, me half dragging Seiren along. Surprisingly the classroom was empty. "I guess we're early." I said going to the front of the classroom wanting to be far away from where Zero sat. Seiren followed along silently. I frowned as I sat.
"Seiren why are you always so quiet?" I asked her cocking my head to the side. She turned to me looking confused and I silently wondered why.
"I am made to keep in the shadows, I am a body guard. I try to stay as silent as possible." She said her voice quiet and I realized that I had never really heard her talk before. I nodded to her in understanding. "I think you should talk more you could make someone's day. Ya know?" she looked at me again confused.
"How so?" she asked. I smiled and looked out the window that was situated beside the long desk I sat in.
"Sometimes a few simple words can make someone very happy. Wouldn't you want someone to talk to when you feel alone?" I asked her looking at her again. She seemed mildly surprised.
"You are very hopeful aren't you?" she asked with kind eyes. I nodded.
"If I wasn't how would I survive?" I asked her as my mind wandered to thoughts of when my life began. "Please elaborate." She said looking lost.
"Ten years ago I was saved by Kaname when a blood thirsty vampire tried to eat me. That is my first memory. If I wasn't hopeful of a better future than I probably would be as sour as Zero." I shivered at the mention of his name.
Just then the door opened and sensei walked in. He stopped when he saw us and his eyes zeroed in on me. "Cross-san, what a surprise to see you here so early, why are you here?" he asked looking confused. I smiled at him politely.
"Well I was up early and decided to come. Akira-sensei this is Seiren she has transferred from the Night Class." He nodded at me than introduced himself to her. He then turned to me.
"Maybe you'll be able to stay awake today." He said smiling triumphantly. He went to
I sat quietly reflecting on my life when I was suddenly thinking about that nightmare. A dull ache started in the back of my head. As I thought deeper about my nightmare I found that the ache turned into a migraine. I ignored it though and delve deeper until I found myself looking at my blood stained hands.
My eyes widened and I blinked a few times trying to clear my vision, it seemed to work. 'What was that?" I asked myself shakily. Seiren's eyes were on me curiously watching me; I shook my head, not wanting her to know that I was possibly going crazy.
Soon, though, the doors opened and revealed the man that I didn't want to be near, Zero Kiryu. I gulped but Seiren placed a hand on mine reassuringly. I was surprised at this I had never known her to do such things but welcomed it all the same. He glared at Seiren then looked over at me remorsefully.
He made his way over to us, but I promptly ignored him. Striking up a conversation with Seiren. "Hey do you think you could help me out with this class, it's so hard." I said dramatically she nodded her head in agreement but then the sound of someone (namely Zero) clearing their throat caught my attention.
I turned my head to look at him warily. To say he looked pissed was an understatement. "Why the hell would you let him do that to you?! Can't you see all he wants is your blood?!" he screamed right in my face. I suddenly felt a surge of anger as Seiren stood ready to attack.
I stood as well but for a different reason. "Look who's talking as far as I'm concerned you are the only one has bitten me!" I yelled in his for a change. In the back of my head a voice rose to the forefront of my mind. 'The animal, taking on something he isn't ready for.' It sounded a lot like me but had a more melodic tone to it. I ignored and stared Zero down.
"It was accidental I didn't mean to hurt you. If anything it's your fault I told you to get away from me." He yelled loudly. Another surge of anger went through me, but suddenly the scene before me changed, and the man that stood seething was replaced with a man with mismatched eyes stared maniacally in front of me. I gasped and stumbled into the chair that was attached to the chair. My head felt like it was tearing in half and I felt more anger for no apparent reason besides Zero but that anger was gone as soon as this man showed up. The voice came back and growled out what I assumed to be the new man.
'Rido.' It said angrily. My arms wrapped around myself instinctively. Until someone started to shake me. I blinked a few times and looked around me. Seiren looked concerned and Zero sat over in the corner glaring at me.
The door opened and all the Day Class students came in talking loudly. Akira-sensei walked behind them as they all sat and we started class.
I paid close attention to the lesson and found that Geometry wasn't so hard if you didn't sleep. Midway through the lesson sensei called on me to come and solve the problem on the board. I sighed and stood.
That was literally the last thing I remember until I focused on what my hand was writing. 'Rido Kuran.' Was written backwards in my messy scrawl. I dropped the piece of chalk I had. Frozen in complete fear. The teacher told me to move out of the way, but I was in no position to obey. He sighed and looked over my shoulder. He then turned me around, looking at me with concerned eyes. "Cross-san, are you okay?" I could hear him but my vision was fading and that oh so familiar ripping feeling was returning to my head. Black spots returned to my vision as he shook me. I saw Seiren come over to us quickly and took me from his hold helped me to the door. "I will take her to the infirmary." She said but not before she looked over at the board. Her eyes widened for a fraction of a second before I went under.
Seiren POV
I sat beside the girl that somehow stole Lord Kaname's heart wondering what had just happened. I sighed staring at her form. I wondered how she could have known about Lord Kaname's uncle. Maybe he told her about him. It was reasonable enough but I knew Kaname didn't disclose any information about his childhood to anyone. Especially with someone who is close to him as a precaution to make sure no one would use it against him. Then how did she know.
I gave up on that train of thought and told the nurse to contact the Headmaster and tell him what was going on. I called Kaname. He picked up immediately.
"Hello." He said knowing full well who this was.
"Yuuki is in the infirmary my lord. She just started to act strange. I will explain once you get here." I said trying to find a way to explain how she had acted.
He sighed. "I am on my way." He said and the he hung up. A few minutes later both the Headmaster and Lord Kaname walked in, they shared the same concerned expression. I bowed to them both and explain everything from when Zero first walked in to when she passed out. Kaname looked saddened and the Headmaster looked stressed out. "Kaname-k-"
"I know. She is unstable already. I suppose I don't have a choice do I?" he said his head in his hands. "No, I will get the papers ready. The poor girl, she must be in so much pain." Lord Kaname growled.
"Sorry." Headmaster sighed but smiled at me.
"Looks like you'll be going back to the Night Class." He had to be kidding. Yuuki and I spent two whole hours getting everything in that dorm room. I nodded never the less. I turned to Lord Kaname.
"She also wrote some very interesting things on the board." I said they looked at me confused. I continued. "She wrote Rido Kuran's name backwards on the board."
They looked alarmed. "Damn it." Lord Kaname cursed and ran a hand through his hair.
Yuuki sat up sharply, looking around. She spotted Lord Kaname. "Kaname…" she said a relieved smile on her face. But her eyes widened and glazed over; she scooted far away from him. He looked hurt but soon realization hit him and he grew distressed as he stood.
He took Yuuki's hand gently though she struggled, his grip never ceased. I watched as he put his hand on top of her head and the faint glow illuminated her head as she fell unconscious. "I think that I should keep her asleep for the time being." He picked her up bridal style and carried her to the door. "Seiren please stay with the Headmaster and bring me the papers please. Headmaster just shred Seiren's Day Class paper work; I still have her Night Class paper work. It would be easier that way." He said looking down at Yuuki sadly. He was stressed out; he never did anything halfway it wasn't like him to.
"Alright, but I think I will have a few of the Night Class boys get their things. It will take less time." Headmaster Cross beamed despite the situation. Kaname frowned.
"Seiren get both of your clothes before hand, some of the boys might take a few of your things." He said shaking his head. "You mean Aidou will take Yuuki's things because he is obsessed with things that are yours?" I asked he nodded and left. I shook my head and stood to collect our clothes. I bid Headmaster goodbye.
Kaname POV
I took my little Yuuki back to my room. I was stressing out on the inside but on the outside I was calm and collected. The girl in my arms was breaking and I could merely wait until it was time to change her, watch her slowly lose her mind. I could do nothing about it. Just the thought made me cringe.
I sighed and laid her on my bed. I slid the covers over her then toed off my shoes and lied down with her. I played with her hair as she rested peacefully. There was a knock on the door. "Come in." I commanded I sighed not bothering to get it. Seiren walked in with a duffle bag. I nodded to the love seat by the wall. She took out a stack of papers from it and laid it on top of the bag; she then stood by the love seat waiting for further instructions. I waved her off and started on the paper work.
-TIME SKIP-
"She will be staying in my room. I don't want her to be alone." I said petting her head lovingly. She nodded, bowed then left the room.
An hour or so later and had finished the mass of paper work. I looked over at Yuuki who was still asleep, smiling I leaned over the bed. Suddenly Yuuki's eyes popped open. I straightened up waiting for another hallucination. She smiled at me and a small tear rolled down her cheeks. "Kaname…" said and jumped into my arms sobbing.
My arms wrapped around her small waist immediately; comforting her. "Yuuki, it's alright. I will keep you safe no matter what." I vowed to her. She pulled away just a little to look at my face. Her big brown eyes bore into mine. I stared back down at her. "Promise?" she whispered. I smiled at her and held her closer.
"I promise." I cuddled into her. She giggled and I smiled, glad that I got her mind off of such horrible things. She smiles up at me and kisses me on the lips. I kissed her back and laid her back on the bed, but then we were interrupted by a loud grumbling sound. Her face flushed a brilliant red.
"It looks like you are very hungry." I laughed. Her cheeks puffed out and she crossed her arms, she looked adorable. "God I love you." I smiled down at her.
"J-just get me s-something to e-eat." She stumbled over her words cutely. I grabbed her hand to pull her off the bed. She smiled and we both made our way down to the kitchen. I sat her down on a stool by the kitchen island. "What would you like to eat, Darling?" I asked her leaning against the counter. She put her finger to her chin and thought. I smiled at how cute she looked.
"I want something simple. How about a sandwich?" she smiled at me brightly before I set to work on the best sandwich she would ever eat.
Five minutes later I watched her joyfully eat my sandwich an odd sense of accomplishment went through me. When she finished I cleaned up.
Aidou and Kain came down the stairs, Aidou talked freely about why I could be so interested in Yuuki; I was going to have to punish him later. I looked over at Yuuki but she didn't seem hear in fact she looked deep in thought. I cursed under my breath. That was what I was trying to make sure didn't happen. I sighed and went over to her, than I waved a hand in front of her face.
Just as the duo came in Yuuki's eyes glazed over. She tensed and looked at her hands.
"Lord Kaname, I wasn't expecting you here, uh y- you're usually up in your room." Aidou stumbled in fear but in all truth I wasn't paying any attention to him. "Yuuki?" I called to her.
That seemed to snap her out of whatever hallucination she was having. "Uh, yes?" she said plastering a fake smile on her face. I sighed and looked- well glared- at Aidou. He gulped.
"I'll deal with you later, right now just watch Yuuki I need to go see the Headmaster about something, make sure she doesn't think too hard. Yuuki try not to think about it." I kissed Yuuki on the top of her head and left.
Yuuki POV
Kaname left me alone with Aidou-sama and Kain-sama. I looked over at the two. "Um… hi." I said unsurely. Kain nodded his head in acknowledgement but Aidou just scowled at me. Then he said something I wish he hadn't.
"What did Lord Kaname mean about not letting you think too hard?" I winced and looked away from him. "He meant nothing by it." I said staring at my hands which just a few minutes ago were covered in blood.
I shook that thought out of my mind. Then I smiled at the two. "Kaname is just over protective. You guys don't have to watch me." I said and got off the stool but they followed me anyways.
"If you guys are just gonna follow me than at least tell me where Seiren or Rima is." I turned to them with my hands on my hips.
"Shut up." Aidou said dangerously. I cocked an eyebrow at him. 'My, isn't that rude. Doesn't he know I could end him?' my eyes widened. That voice always came right before something bad happens. Flashes of the last time came to mind and I shivered. I turned on my heal and went straight to Kaname's room. I heard their hurried footsteps as I ran down the hall.
"Now look what you've done I am not taking the blame for this one." Kain said but it was wrong Aidou did nothing. I made it to Kaname's room and locked myself in so no one could see me when something bad did happen. They began beating on the door.
"Lady Yuuki, don't listen to Aidou he is just an idiot. He didn't mean it." Kain said through the door. "Hey!"
Soon the voice came back. 'Don't worry I won't do anything bad to you. I am here to protect you. I am you after all.' It said but I was confused.
"Who are you?" I said aloud. It laughed. 'I am you Yuuki. Go to sleep and we can talk.' I found myself going over to the bed obeying the voice.
"I don't understand. Why do I have to go to sleep?" 'So we can talk.'
"Come on, I don't want to get in more trouble with Lord Kaname so just come out already!" Aidou whined from the other side of the door. I paid them no mind and sat on the bed.
"Can I let them in?" I asked with a sigh unable to ignore them. 'Hmm… I think that would be alright, but you might want to change first.' The voice suggested. I looked at myself and found I still had on a white robe, I took it off slowly slightly dreading what I was wearing.
A blush covered my cheeks at what I saw. I was in a pink, short night gown that had pink lace over the chest and black lace for straps. Under my breasts there was black trim. I sighed. 'Kaname put you in it. He thought you would cute in it.' The voice said laughter in her voice. I blushed even more, he got something for me it was sweet of him.
I got up and looked for something to wear. About three minutes later I found a duffle bag. That's when I froze. It was too quiet; I hurriedly got dressed and went to the door. I unlocked it and peek out.
They stood outside the door arms crossed. I smiled sweetly at them. "I'm still so tired, so I think I'm gonna go to sleep." I said cheerily. Aidou took a step closer. "We heard you talking to someone, who was it?" he asked. I got a little nervous, I couldn't tell them I was talking to a voice in my head that would just be weird and they would tell Kaname.
'I can take over your mouth but just for a little bit. I can lie for you.' the voice said quietly. 'Okay.' I thought to myself unsure she could hear me.
"I was talking to myself; I do that when I don't get any sleep." I heard myself say. They looked suspicious but let it go. 'There you go.'
"Fine but we are going to stay in there with you. Lord Kaname told us to watch you and that is what we'll do." He said and turned me around by the shoulders before marching me back towards the bed.
I rolled my eyes and closed my eyes. I was asleep in seconds.
Aidou POV
That stupid little human, thinking she can out smart me. I don't know what Lord Kaname sees in her but I will find that out along with whatever she is hiding.
I looked over at Akatsuki; he was flipping through a book, bored. I looked at Yuuki; she had been lying in the same position the entire time she was asleep. "Hey Akatsuki, don't you think it's strange how she hasn't moved an inch?" I asked him. He looked over at me.
"Why would that be weird maybe she is just a heavy sleeper." He said waving it off. "She would still be uncomfortable. It has been two hours, human's move every few minutes when they are asleep. Anyway where is Lord Kaname?" I asked tapping my foot.
Yuuki POV
I found myself outside two double doors. I pushed them open to walk in a windowless room. Sitting by a coffee table on a love seat was a girl. I walked in but she didn't acknowledge that I was here. I studied her a little harder when she suddenly stood. A gasp escaped my lips as I looked into the eyes of a girl that looked just like me; the only difference was her hair was longer than mine.
"Hello Yuuki, I'm you." the girl said happily. She went over to me. "Y-you're me?" I whispered.
"Well, you and I share the same body, but I am a pureblood vampire locked away in your mind. Kaname is my older brother." She said pulling me over to the couch.
"Brother?" I asked unsure. I looked at her. "You're locked in my… head, how?" she laughed.
"My you ask a lot of questions. Alright, the dream you had last night was a memory. It was your last memory before Okaa-sama sealed off your vampire side and your memories. It was all to protect you, but in doing so she gave me all of her knowledge, for the price of her life she gave me a safe future." She said sadly and grimaced at me.
"When that level E attacked you, the seal was nearly broken. That is how I was able to talk to you and set this meeting up." I looked down at my hands.
"So now what will happen?" I asked quietly. She laughed. "Well normally I would basically eat you, but I don't want that, I am going to try and suppress the changes so no one will notice while I work on mending our souls together. That way there will be a bit of both of us." She said reassuringly. A sigh of contentment washed over me. I nodded.
"Wait, if I'm Kaname's lover and we are brother and sister, does that mean…?" I trailed off looking to her for guidance. She only laughed at me.
"Vampire's, especially Pureblood vampires, marry their siblings. It's in the norm so when we rise to power, no one will think anything of it." She waved it off like it was nothing and I found that I trusted her.
I smiled at her and gave her a hug. "You better get back it's been nearly two hours." She said and listened really hard. "Kaname is back too," she laughed, "And he's angry at them for letting you sleep. Apparently he didn't want you asleep, just occupied. Oh you don't need to worry about all the dreams but I can't do anything about the hallucinations and headaches, they were going to come anyways, with or without my help. Sorry about that." She apologized, I shook my head.
"Don't apologized it's not your fault our life is messed up. We have to accept the cards that are dealt to us." I said wisely. She stared at me and burst out laughing. I huffed and crossed my arms.
"I'm sorry but I'm not used to you seeing all wise and so right like this. Your usually really irrational about stuff." I started to protest but she shushed me.
"You better leave. Kaname is trying to wake you up now." she said as she started to fade. I panicked. "Wait!"
I sat up in bed and looked around as Kaname sighed heavily. "Do you want to talk about it?" he asked rubbing circles on back. I smiled at the thought of describing what I just saw as terrible or scary. I shook my head and kissed his cheek. "It wasn't a bad dream. It was a very good dream." I said climbed into his lap. He chuckled and pulled me closer to him.
"Oh, what sort of dream did you have?" he asked me while he kissed my neck affectionately, I giggled. "It was so sweet and I learned about new ways to surprise you." I said a kissed his nose as he tensed for a moment. I was lying but only partly.
"Well why don't you just surprise me?" he whispered into my ear. I giggled and pushed him away shaking my head, he looked hurt. "Uh uh uh, you have classes." He chuckled.
"No, we have classes." I cocked my head to the side. "What do you mean 'we'?" I asked him confusion clear on my face. He smirked at me.
"Just that you are a part of the Night Class, now." I stared at him pouting. He laughed at me.
"You are too cute. Don't worry you'll be completely safe. I'll protect you from all the fan girls." He cooed the last part. I rolled my eyes and stood. "Why am I joining the Night Class?" I asked, stretching. He smiled at me lovingly.
"Because my sweet Yuuki, it seems you are getting rather sick and I don't want you alone. I feel better if you are with me." I sighed and kissed his cheek.
Kaname went over to the mahogany armoires that sat in the corner. He pulled out a Night Class uniform, a girl's Night Class uniform. He put it on the bed and kissed my head. "Come down when you're ready, love." He said all too sweetly before turning and leaving me to change.
I hurriedly got dressed and went down stairs quickly. Kaname smiled at me and the rest bowed their heads in acknowledgement. I kept my head down as we left for class.
