Surprise Dorm Inspections. Could my life get any worse? At least I wasn't the only one who felt this way.
"What a pain," Ruka complained. "There's no predicting what the headmaster is going to do next."
"I don't mind." Shiki commented. "It's not like I've got something hear that I don't want them to see."
"True," said Takuma, "but when it's spare of the moment you can see what the norm for a place is really like."
"Do you mean like the pair of briefs you haven't picked up that are still lying on the floor, Takuma?" Piped Shiki. Takuma chuckled in embarrassment.
"Those are fine. They're made from the finest silk you can buy and sown by the best tailor around. Those briefs could be left anywhere and I still wouldn't be embarrassed." He said.
On that note everyone went their separate ways. I tried to hide my surprise. Silk underwear? Not just that but Tailored silk underwear? My word, these vampires must be filthy rich.
Anyway my dorm room needed to get cleaned. With all the studying that came with school and my… misplacement of my body. Parts of the school uniform and discarded papers scattered the floor. The sheets were gathered together into one ball on my bed. The bathroom sink was cluttered with makeup and hair accessories. And who do you think was responsible for all this mess? Me. Rima's side of the room could not be anymore tidier. She walked in with a sigh.
"Do I have to clean up your mess too?" she moaned.
"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of my side of the room and the bathroom. You just need to clean up your side." I said with a smile. She nodded and walked off, confirming my assumption about her side of the room.
I started untangling the bedspread from the comforter when I heard someone yelp in pain. I stuck my head out the door to see Rima talking to Ruka.
"Did you hear that?" I asked them. They nodded
"Should we go and check to make sure that everyone is all right?"
"No." Rima replied.
"Are you positive?" They nodded again.
"The boys will take care of it." Ruka said. I nodded and returned to the pigsty.
As I picked up the trash and hung up my uniforms, my mind wondered. That's when I saw a vision of Kaname in a lavish room. He laid back on a couch dressed in white trousers and a black shirt. One hand shielded his eyes from sun streaming in from the window. The other held a photograph of a little girl with short brown hair and big brown eyes. She looked adorable with her bright smile and her pink coat that sharply contrasted against the white snow that fell around her. After a few moments, Kaname rose from the couch and walked over to the closet. He pulled out a hope chest and opened it, revealing its contents. It was filled with pictures of this same little girl, drawing that appeared to be done by a child, and other assorted things. He carefully placed the picture that he had in his hand into the hope chest. Then he closed the hope chest, locked it, and slid it back into the closet.
I was rudely snapped back into reality when my head hit the bedpost. I rubbed the spot tenderly and continued on. I was nearly done. All I had to do now was take out the trash.
Ruka and Rima were still out in the hall talking when they heard me scream. I ran out of the room in a panic. I stopped next to Rima, my hand covering my mouth and my face disfigured by terror. My body trembled with fear.
"What is it?" Rima asked.
"B..b..b..buu…." was all that I could mutter.
"Excuse me?" Ruka asked.
"B…b..bu…BUG!"
They both walked in with curious looks. What happened was that a day class student gave Rima a dozen rose which she promptly discarded into the trash. When I tried to take the liner out of the bin, loads of Japanese beetles came scampering out. They must have found the roses that Rima had brought into our dorm. Now normally I don't mind bugs, but when they appear unexpectedly, like in my bedroom, there is no way I can keep my composure. I could hear Rima heaving a sigh. Then I thought I heard static electricity, and blinding flashes of lights coming from our room.
"What's going on here." Someone asked. I looked up to see Seiren walking towards me.
"Meani found some beetles in the trash can." Ruka replied as she walked out of the room.
"Hmm. This doesn't seem like you Maeni-san" Seiren stated. I didn't respond. I didn't know how to respond. All I could do was look down and blush.
"I got all of the beetles." Rima said from the doorway, her voice as monotone as ever. "Do I need to take out the trash?" It took me a moment to realize that she was addressing me.
"No, I can handle it." I walked back in and grabbed the trash bag. It wasn't until I reached the main lobby that I realized that I had no clue where to dispose of my trash.
"Hey, Maeni-san," I looked up at Kain "is everyone alright. We heard someone scream."
"Everyone is fine. It was just me. I was startled by some beetles." My body sill shook from the scare I had previously received. "Do you need any help with that?" I asked pointing to the large box he was carrying. He was taken aback by the question. His reaction reminded me that I wasn't in my own body again.
"Umm, no…thank you." He said walking towards the door. I stood in a daze.
"What was I doing again?" I thought. He was almost out of the building when I remembered.
"Wait" I cried. Kain stopped on the threshold and turned to face me. I ran to him. "Do you know where we put our trash?" He smiled.
"You're lucky to catch me when you did. I was just going there myself." With that, he turned on his heels and I followed. We soon caught up with Takuma and Shiki. Shiki groaned.
"I will never hear the end of this from my agent." He wined, "Not only am I out in the sun without an umbrella, but I will build muscle if I have to keep doing this kind of thing."
"I'm more worried about Hanabusa." Kain said. "Dorm President was really mad about this collection." I was looking more closely at the boxes. They seemed…familiar. I had this strange feeling that I saw these boxes full of the same trash before. When did I see them?
"Hey, Kian-sempi?" I asked. He acknowledged me with a grunt. "Is junk from Aido-sempi's room?"
"Unfortunately yes," he said "We had to pin him to the floor while the trash was collected. I feel bad about it. We left him crying on the floor." I stopped win my tracks.
Then it dawned on me.
The scary thing about this vision…
…I saw Yuuki being held tightly by Aido. She tried to break away from his grasp but to no avail. Aido's eyes glowed red,
"Did you hear about Aido getting suspended?"… "He drank that little disciplinary member's blood."
Aido, Ruka, Kain, Rima, and Shiki were surrounding that disciplinary comity boy.
… one thing haunted my thoughts for days to come. Aido, Ruka, Kain, Rima, and Shiki were reprimanded for starting a fight, with Kiryu Zero.
,… I saw a different Aido. He was in pajamas, laying on the carpeted floor, crying about a collection. I watched as boxes of trash were taken away.
…was that it looked and felt real.
I could see the future!
Well, to be more exact, Maeni could see the future. But because I was in her body, I possessed the ability to see the future.
"Is something wrong?" Kain asked.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you alright?" he demanded. I blushed. Should I tell him, about how I can see the future? No. If there are people who already know that I can see the future, and I make a big deal out of this self-discovery, questions will arise concerning why I have not remembered this, and I might have to tell everyone who I really am. Besides, I don't want to look even more like a fool.
"Yes, I'm fine." I replied. Kain nodded and proceeded to throw the box into the dumpster. I was pushing my trash bag into the same dumpster when I saw Zero walk by. I would have expected for him to give Kain and I a nasty look, but he seemed preoccupied with something. He walked forward, eyes on the ground and at a quick pace. Yuuki followed shortly after. I smiled as she ran by…but that smile did not stay.
It was then that I received another vision. Yuuki extended a string that was attached to a red balloon to a small child. The child grabbed her wrist and extended his long fangs. The vision stopped, and I saw the real Yuuki run out of the front gates of the school.
Completely forgetting about Kain, I ran back to the dorm. I had to tell someone, but who? I needed someone who already knew about Maeni's gift, and someone who was both willing and able to protect Yuuki. I could only think of one person that fulfilled two out of the three requirements.
"Kaname-Sama!" I yelled as I ran in threw the doors. I had to stop to catch my breath.
"Yes." I looked up at Kaname. How did he get in front of me so quickly? Never mind. There were more important things to worry about. I opened my mouth, then I thought wait a minute. What am I going to say? How am I going to tell him that Yuuki is in trouble without looking like a dimwit or telling him about my…err…Maini's vision.
"Umm." I started. I tried to look around for some inspiration. All I got was the questioning looks from my fellow classmates, including Ruka's jealous stare, Aido's 'don't you dare touch him' look, (I humorously noted that he was still in his pajamas) and Takuma's concerned face. Kaname followed my gaze. He then tuned to me.
"Is this urgent?" he asked. I nodded. "Shall we step outside?" pointing to the door. Ruka gasped. Aido's jaw dropped. My face flushed and images of dotting couples floated through my mind. I nodded, knowing that Ruka would chew my ear off later. As soon as we were out of earshot, I took a breath and started.
"I saw the disciplinary comity members run out of the school." Kaname nodded. "And I know that they are not under your jurisdiction, but I was worried about them." Sill no answer. "I mean, you never know. Yuuki looks really delicious and there could be a monster that looks like a little kid that might just be interested in…" Kaname walked off without another word, and I knew what he was planning to do.
"Would you like some help?" I asked (not that I could give any).
"No thank you." He said. I couldn't help but smile.
Men. When it comes to girls, they get overly protective and worried. I just love it.
Later that evening, all of the vampires sat in a classroom. Our teacher, a human, was trying to give a lecture on psychology, but he had trouble staying awake. I felt bad for him, but at least he didn't have to deal with spit balls and paper airplanes from the students. Half of the class was itching to harass the teacher in any way, but they all feared what the great Kaname would do if they so much as tried.
The teacher was leaning against the desk and snoring softly when Kaname tapped him on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, sensei." He said. The teacher awoke with a start. "I need to go and speak to the chairman about something." The teacher game him a quizzical look. "It's important." The teacher grunted in approval and closed his eyes again. Kaname was at the door when he turned around and addressed the class.
"I would appreciate if every one of you would treat our sensei will all the respect he deserves. Anyone who does otherwise will answer to me." And on that happy note, he left.
The class continued on for about fifteen minutes. The night would have continued on without event, if it were not for the delicious smell that wafted into the classroom. I was not familiar with this smell, but by the way it made everyone's eyes turn red, I could take a guess as to what it was.
"Blood."
