Secrets of Cross Academy Chapter 2
I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS THIS IS JUST FOR MY OWN AMUSEMENT! Same as last time, if I don't get a couple of reviews I probably won't update!
What just happened… What was that? Why did he kiss me? So many thoughts raced through Yuuki's head, her eyes closing as she walked near Zero, thinking back to what Kaname has said… "That hurts me Yuuki…" It made no sense! He was her protector, not her lover so he had no right to feel hurt because she had a male friend! Shaking her head slightly in frustration, she sighed, Zero stopping in his strides to look at the disheveled girl. "Why were you and Kaname still there?" he asked, almost bitterly while he eyed Yuuki. His words seemed to pull her out of her thought, as did his halted position. "Well I- He…" pausing to think back on it, she realized something… Her palm didn't hurt anymore! Bringing her hand up she showed it to the suspicious man in front of her.
"Kaname-sempai healed me" she said with her usual smile. "And then we discussed what umm… What the punishment should be for the girls who snuck out, and what to tell them when they woke up. He erased the fact that they had figured out they were vampires but not that I caught them outside of their dorms at night." She said. Smooth Yuuki… That's good, he won't suspect anything! She thought before setting her hands back down by her sides.
"What did you decide on?" he asked, causing a stutter to come out of Yuuki, like a stalled car. "W-well we umm… We couldn't… W-We couldn't really come up with anything solid so we- we decided to let the chairmen handle it by his own accord" she said, stalking past Zero's prying violet eyes. He couldn't know… He just couldn't know what happened back there, especially since Yuuki herself was still trying to figure it out. Zero would be furious with her, and would surely go to the Head Master seeking some sort of revenge. He would find her disgusting for having been with Kaname in such an intimate way.
Zero huffed and followed after her quick steps. She's definitely lying…He thought to himself, folding his arms across his chest in irritation. Why would she lie to him? She never lied to him, mostly because he'd catch her and call her out on it, but tonight… Well tonight it seemed as though she would stay firm in her deceit. Taking in a deep breath, he practically gagged, coughing repeatedly. What the hell? Why did she smell so much like that pure blood bastard? Yuuki whirled around. "Are you okay Zero?" she asked, stepping closer to him.
He instantly stepped away from her, coughing into his hand again. She smelled repulsive… It wasn't like her normal scent, her sweet honey and vanilla smell that he'd grown so accustomed to. "Just stay back!" Zero yelled, keeping his hand over his nose and mouth. Quickly turning on his heels he bolted off in the opposite direction, leaving Yuuki standing there alone and confused. Definitely confused!
What was with him? The way he covered his nose like that was as though he smelled something horrid and disgusting. Yuuki lifted her arm and sniffed slightly before sniffing her hair… No, she smelled like herself. At least she thought so, sure there was a little bit of Kaname's cologne on her but other than that, she was normal. How strange. Sighing, she headed back to the Head Master's quarters, approaching the door she stopped in her tracks listening to the two people on the other side. It was Master Cross and… Kaname! She all but squeaked at the realization that he was on the other door, having to cover her mouth to keep any other noises from coming from her. What were they talking about?
Leaning her head against the door, she listened. They'd stopped talking, but why? Closing her eyes, she thought that maybe she just couldn't hear but she was wrong. The door was tugged open "Aah!" she gasped in surprise falling forward only to be caught around the waist with one arm; One strong arm. "Yuuki! My Darling daughter Yuuki!" Her father practically danced across the room to her while she straightened her posture to see him .Kaname stood, back straight, eyes back to their deep, luring burgundy. Yuuki swallowed, her face hazing over in red before her father lurched his arms out to encase her in a hug. As usual, she stepped to the side, her father falling to the floor with a soft cry of her name. "Kaname-sempai! What are you doing here? I thought you had class." She said, her face a bright pink of embarrassment, practically ignoring the overly affectionate man on the ground.
Looking up into his eyes, she searched for something… Anything that would prove that what happened a mere ten minutes ago was real. But, she found nothing. Just his usual lonely gaze adorned over her face. "I came to discuss the punishment of my students and the two girls that you found outside. Also, you left Artemis so I brought that back as well." He said simply. "Oh!" Yuuki reached down to her thigh where the retracted rod usually rested in her harness, only to find nothing but a leather strap against her bare skin. "Well thank you Kaname sempai" she said, bowing respectfully. Their small conversation was quickly interrupted by recovered and now standing father. Reaching out, he grabbed the hand that had been hurt, making Yuuki practically jump out of her skin in surprise.
"Yuuki, my precious Yuuki are you alright?" he said inspecting her palm, only to find nothing… "Kaname. I thought you said that she was hurt by Aidou?" he said questioningly, looking at the tall authoritative figure not too far from them. Yuuki chimed in "Oh! I guess he didn't tell you… He healed it for me Head Master" she said with a grin, trying to ignore the way her heart fluttered in her chest at the rest of what had occurred between the two of them. Slowly pulling her hand back, she shoved it in her pocket, looking down and away to approach the desk, hearing her father let out a whimper "Please call me father…" only to get no response from the girl who plucked up her weapon from the wood.
"Kaname-sama… How did you grab Artemis?" she asked, putting it back in its rightful place while she waited for an answer. Turning back around curious for his explanation, it was a vampire hunters weapon after all, one that was meant to repel if not hurt creatures of the night. Kaien Cross turned to Kaname as though he were also curious, even though he knew the answer. "It's quite simple Yuuki." Kaname stated, reaching in his pocket to tug out a handkerchief he tossed it to her. Yuuki caught the delicate piece of cloth, running her nimble fingers over the silk material, eyeing the initials embroidered in the top right corner. "K.K" for Kaname Kuran… She brushed her thumb over it before looking back up to the mysterious creature. "Since it didn't touch my skin, I was able to hold it and bring it back to you, it's rightful owner." He said before turning to the Head Master "If you'll excuse me, I must go back to my class." Nodding toward Kaien Cross before looking back at Yuuki "Sleep well…"
Two words, that was all it took to make her face burn a bright red, her father quickly coming to torment her. "Yuuki! Yuuki still has a crush on Kaname!" he teased, poking her burning cheeks amusingly. "I don't blame you though… He is a handsome, strong, wealthy man… Err vampire" he said in admiration of the pure blood before his daughter turned to him with an irritated grin. "I do not! Stop it father!" She huffed in frustration, stomping back towards the double doors of his office. "Yuuki you called me father!" He swooned in happiness, but before he could hug his daughter (or attempt to rather) The door was closed behind her. Looking back down at the handkerchief, Yuuki brought it up to her nose, taking in his lingering scent. Who was she kidding? She'd always have a crush on Kaname-sama… He saved her after all, and it was only normal to admire someone that helped you in such a vast way.
"No! I have to stop… I have to stop thinking of him that way he-he just wants to toy with me…" she mumbled to herself, hitting herself in the forehead with her palm in frustration. Shoving the cloth back into her pocket she went on to tour the grounds, searching for anyone out of their dorms at the wrong time, or anything that would be frowned upon. She found nothing, not even Zero… Where had he gone? Walking down the halls of the female dormitory, she finally came to the room she wanted to most, her room. Being a perfect, she had the privilege to have her own room and even better, her best friend Yori was just a few doors down! Even though she was so close, Yuuki still couldn't tell her about what had happened just a little while ago… She couldn't tell her how she'd kiss Kaname, that he'd held their bodies so close together that she feared that she'd become a part of him at any moment.
Closing her eyes, she leaned into her door letting out a soft shaky breath. This wasn't fair! Why was he being this way toward her now? Now of all times, he was choosing to delve into her world with such an unknown intensity that it was a little frightening. Sure, it was only a kiss but the way he teased her with his lips… his tongue, oh god his tongue. Such a simple motion of licking her pulse was enough to make her stand on edge, and make her want to feel more of his sultry touches. She shook her head again as though she were shaking her own thoughts out of her head… It wasn't right to think of Kaname-sempai that way. It wasn't right at all.
The only thing that made sense about that evening was the fact that he bed was there, waiting for her to fall into. She happily obliged its invitation and undressed, slipping into one of her night gowns before curling under the thick comforter, allowing it to comfort away her many thoughts and concerns. Yuuki buried her face into one of her pillows, whining out loud as though it would help release the pressure that had built up in her chest. "What am I going to do?" she whimpered, hating the fact that she had no one to really talk to about such frustrations. Yori would ask too many questions, Zero would yell at her and aside from them… Who else did she have left?
It wasn't until she heard her alarm angrily buzzing at her, that she realized she'd fallen asleep. Between the frustration of the night before, and the rest of her guard duty, to say that Yuuki was exhausted was a bit of an understatement. Slowly, tiredly, Yuuki crawled out of bed, going about her daily routines. She showered, scrubbing thoroughly as if to wash off some sort of invisible mark left on her. Zero was so strange last night she thought to herself, he held is face as if… as if I reeked or something… Sighing, she finally stepped out, letting the warm steam soothe her aching skin. Brushing her teeth and drying her hair, she was ready for the day! Today would be better, today wouldn't be as confusing, and today was definitely going to make all of her worries go away. Kaname Kuran is not interested in me that way… And the fact that he acted as though nothing happened when we were in the head masters office even proves it. He didn't even tell Kaien Cross about healing my wound. Was he really so ashamed? Hugging her books against her chest, she walked through to the main halls, huffing out a sigh before she heard Yori running up behind her.
Hugging onto Yuuki, Yori nuzzled her friends shoulder. "Hey! I heard you get in pretty late last night, how was patrol?" she asked, pulling away to walk beside her. "It was fine, a few students from the day class snuck out though so they had to be… dealt with" she said narrowing her eyes with another sigh. "Have you seen Zero yet?" Yuuki asked, entering their class room only to see his seat, once again empty. "No… No I haven't, but you know him, he's probably just skipping again." Yori commented with a shrug of her shoulders. "Yeah… Yeah, you're probably right" she said with her usual grin, taking her seat beside her friend.
That day seemed to linger on much more than she wanted to, for some strange reason she was eager to go onto patrol; Eager to see Kaname at the gates. No! I can't be excited to see him… I have to be just as cold as he's being to the situation. I will not let myself get drug into some silly game. Not even by Kaname-sempai. She concluded in her own mind as she rushed toward the Moon Dorms.
As usual, the whole pathway was in an uproar of excitement and admiration for the night class students to emerge from their dorms. Standing in front of the gate Yuuki, grabbed her whistle, blowing firmly on it to let out an emanating screech amongst the squealing girls. "Everybody back up! You know the drill!" waving her arms and stepping forward, she was doing her best to ward them off before the gates opened. Dammit Zero! I can't believe you're skipping on duty again! Fuming she kept blowing her whistle until the girls eventually parted like the red sea.
Like clockwork, the gates opened and out came the moon dorm students. Yes, they were indisputably beautiful, but undeniably dangerous as well. Sure, they followed after Lord Kaname in their ways but after how Aidou behaved… She didn't want to know what they would do without Kaname's pacifist ideology. If Zero hadn't stepped in the night before, who knows what would have happened. If Aidou was so willing to bite her hand without her consent, there was no doubt he would have bitten somewhere else, right?
Speaking of Aidou, Yuuki heard him firing off his normal remarks, and going on about shouting "Bang!" while pointing his finger like a gun. Standing in front of one of the lines with her arms drawn out was a bad idea, between Aidou causing a stir and the rest of the male students just being there, it was easy for her to be over run. The female students shoved forward to get a better look of the night class, causing Yuuki to fall backwards. Closing her eyes, she expected to feel her rear hit the hard floor, but only felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist.
Peeking one eye open it was obvious from the glares of the other students who it was behind her, "I thought I told you to stay safe… Yuuki" he purred, helping her straighten her posture. "Kaname-sempai! I'm so sorry!" she said, quickly bowing her head to the Pureblood before her. Her face was burning in embarrassment, how could this happen? Damn pushy fan girls! He reached out and rubbed the top of her head affectionately before leaning down. "I'll see you around Yuuki… We will talk again about how you address me." Murmuring against her ear, he straightened his posture, leaving Yuuki stunned. If she wasn't as read as a cherry tomato before, she definitely was now. Her heart was racing, and it took everything in her to stand tall again, watching as the night class disappeared further down the path. Turning around she saw the gaze of many irritated class mates.
"Why is it always you?" One of them finally yelled out. Yuuki took a step back with her hands up in front of her as though she was surrendering, but that wasn't enough. With each step in retreat, they added another; it wasn't long before the perfect took off into a sprint. She had to get away from these crazy girls! Running into the wooded area, she hopped up into a tree, staring down at the ground as they all ran past her, hearing them say that if they didn't find her they should go to their dorms before Zero showed up… Even when he wasn't there he invoked fear in those girls. After another ten minutes or so, she dropped from the sanctuary and continued on with her patrols. "It seems like they gave up and went back to the dorms… Thank god" she sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose in mild relief. These students were going to be the death of her.
As the night went on, she made her way to her usual perch, just under the large window that looked into the night class. Her eyes lingered on it for some time, watching the gorgeous, mysterious man with his back to the window. She hated how he made her feel, how he enthralled her with emotion and desire. Looking down at her feet for a moment, she lifted her eyes once more, only to widen them in shock. What… Where did he go?
"Looking for something?" she heard his sultry voice whisper from not too far behind.
"Kaname-sama!" she gasped, whirling around to face the looming figure.
"Now now Yuuki… I've told you." He took a step forward, quickly closing the gap between their bodies. His hand gripped her chin and gentle tugged her face up to look at him with her wide beautiful eyes.
"Kaname I-… Why are you acting this way?" she asked, demanding an answer with a step backwards, at least, she thought she was going to go backwards. His hand shot out and gripped at her wrist tugging her back to him, making her gasp out and fight against him. "Kaname stop I-" he cut her off with his lips, gently biting at her lower one, making her let out another sound of surprise. He took the opportunity and slipped his tongue past her lips massaging it against hers. Her struggles to push him away turned limp, her hand that had been pushing falling back to her side as he guided her captured wrist up, setting her hand on his shoulder.
Smirking at her response, he slid his arm down and snaked it around her waist, tugging her into his body. Yuuki had closed her confused, paranoid eyes and moved as he willed her. He lightly sucked on the tip of her tongue before releasing her lips, pressing his forehead against hers. "I don't need a reason Yuuki…" he breathed out before brushing his lips down to her throat, his tongue flicking out to drag up her pulse line.
"Kaname!" whimpered, her head tilting back to allow the man access. Why is my body reacting this way? Arguing with her inner desires, she bit on her lower lip trying to keep from giving him the reactions he wanted. He opened his mouth to place tender kisses along her neck line, his arm that had snaked around her, hugging her tighter into his body. Lightly he sucked against a piece of flesh, rolling his tongue against it as he sucked harder, making the girl pressed against him squirm and writhe against his unmoving frame. Pulling back a bit, his smirk appeared on his lips once more. He had marked her. "You don't smell like Zero tonight" he murmured, having lifted his head a bit to whisper in her ear, making her shiver. "That makes me happy… Yuuki." He said, lightly nuzzling her cheek with his
"Kaname… I-I'm so confused! Why now, what changed, why are you being this way?" Yuuki said, slowly bringing her head up to look at him with wide, pleading eyes. She had to know. He just let a small smile grace his lips before he leaned down and kissed her again. "N-No!" she pushed off of him and stumbled backwards, catching herself on the stone wall behind her "I won't let you do this to me without a reason!" she exclaimed, stomping her foot down. What she heard next was enough to make the hairs rise on the back of her neck. He let out a low chuckle, just stepping forward again, putting one hand on either side of her to keep her from escaping. "I already told you… I don't need a reason Yuuki, please don't fight with me on this. I've wanted you for too long." He said, slowly wrapping his arms around her before brushing their lips together again.
"Smelling Aidou and Zero on you last night… It made me angry, very angry in fact. I don't intend to share you with anyone else Yuuki" he said coolly as though It was the most natural phrase in the world. She couldn't argue with him… She couldn't fight him, she just… God she couldn't! Her mind began to swirl as her heart jumped in her chest anxiously. One of his hands dragged up from behind her to unbutton the top few buttons of her blazer, pressing his fingertips against her rapid heart beat. "You sound like a humming bird Yuuki…" he murmured against her lips. "I wish to feel more" he added unfastening the top buttons of her shirt, brushing his fingertips against the bare flesh of her cleavage, making Yuuki shiver, turning her head away from him with closed eyes. Her breathing grew more strained and she felt as though her ribs were closing in from the nerves that boiled up inside of her. Kaname-Sama is staring down at me… Touching me with such want but… But I can't even look at him!
Her closed eyes offered him a moment to act, lowering his face to brush his nose down her throat, making her eyes flutter open in surprise at the feeling of his forehead against her left partially exposed breasts. "Please let me stay like this for a little while longer Yuuki…" he asked quietly. "I-I… Yes Kaname…Anything" she whispered, sliding her arms up from her side to wrap around him, cradling his head against her chest while he listened to her beating heart.
|| Yes I know it's a tad fluffy at the end, but… Could you really so no to him? :P
