The next week went by with a breeze and she had somehow managed to survive. She had almost the same routine every night; extremely boring classes with Kaname and Aidou, then there was Maria clinging to her almost every second of everyday. Sakura didn't understand a single bit why Maria "liked" her so much. Sakura absolutely hated Maria but she never had the will to say it because Maria seemed too nice to deserve words like that said to her. With that thought in mind, it proved that Sakura wasn't as heartless about others as she initially thought. She would still rather people hate her than have friends because it seemed better to not have people to care about or worry about. That may or may not be self-absorbed but hey, that's the way Sakura thought about things.

She sighed as she walked out of the last class of Friday, with her bag over her shoulder, before she could do what she pleased on Saturday and Sunday. Although Sakura never really cared to follow the rules of the night class, she still obeyed them because of the growing intimidation Kaname let off around her. That also meant she couldn't go outside during the day anymore, not that Sakura cared about that rule though. Her heart yearned for the outside and she wasn't going to let one rule keep her from doing that.

I wonder if Aidou would want to go with me tomorrow? She thought gruffly, seeing as he's always out to see if there are any "snacks" around. She was about to turn back around and see if Aidou was still in the classroom but stopped and shrugged. Ah, on second thought...never mind. I don't want to get blamed for that idiot's "blood sucking" problems. Hell with that idea... An arm wrapped around her own and she turned to her left to see Maria attached to her arm once more.

"Maria..." Sakura sighed, "not today, I'm not in the mood." Maria let go of her arm and turned around to look into Sakura's now forest green eyes.

"Have you grown tired of me already?" She asked, "do you find me irritating?" That look Maria gave her...was unbearable. It was an artful look that caused a sigh in response.

"No Maria." The Pureblood lied, "not at all." Maria giggled and smiled.

"It's alright if you want to be alone." She assured. "I have things to do this weekend anyway. See you later my dear Sakura." She smiled slyly and ran down the hall, disappearing down stairs. Sakura growled under her breath.

"Well, that isn't lady like." A voice said behind her. It was automatically recognized to be Kaname.

"I'm afraid I've never had the ability to care what you think." She said coldly not bothering to turn around to face him.

"That's too bad." He answered.

"Yup. It really is," she added. "and it's a fucking shame that I could care less." Her feet began to move and Sakura found herself walking away. As she walked away though, she could hear the voice of Ichijou.

"What a troublesome girl..." She heard him say and all Sakura did was smile.

Her bag fell to the side of her bed in front of her nightstand while Sakura let herself fall on the bed. She let out a moan and rolled towards the center of the bed, ready to go to sleep and too lazy to dress in her nightgown. The night was rough and she was glad that the weekend was ahead of her. She had already had enough of the night class students. Aidou was annoying, as was Ruka and the only person that seemed to calm them down without fear was a man named Kain Akatsuki. Then there was Kaname who just let off this air of intimidation which set Sakura off greatly when they had first met. Maria was a pain in the ass to be around and the only person Sakura didn't seem to mind was Ichijou. She had come to acknowledge two people in the past few days as well, Shiki Senri and Toya Rima. She only ever spoke to them once so she couldn't really say much about them except they might be pretty decent vampires to be around. Not that she wanted to linger around them of course.

Little flickers of light had shown through the curtain and on Sakura's face, revealing the warmth of outside that she used to welcome and embrace. She missed the warmth, it made her feel less lonely. When she thought of loneliness though, it always came around to the loneliness she knew Zero felt everyday. She sighed sorrowfully for Zero, feeling sympathy towards him and him alone. She had never felt sympathy for anyone else but him because she knew the pain he's feeling. When she lost her parents, the mirror that was once her world shattered all around her, leaving a wreckage of sharp pain and agony. Then there was the pain of hating himself because of how close he wasto becoming Level E. Him hatting vampires the way Sakura did a year ago because they killed his family as they did her's. She sighed when she remembered that look Zero had given her a week ago, pure hate...hate because the girl he had known for about as long as Yuki, was revealed to be a vampire and a Pureblood vampire at that.

"Why does it matter anyway?" She asked herself, "there's no reason to worry about someone that hates me..." Her arm laid over her eyes shielding her sensitive eyesight as she gradually fell asleep, thinking about pain and sorrow.

~xXx~

Her eyes fluttered open when she began to hear the calling of the owl and the moon showing it's lovely beams of silver light through her curtains. She sat up as she yawned and smacked her lips lazily. Looking around her room, it seemed to be dark and vacant. It was odd for her to see her room so dark because she usually woke up earlier. Crawling to the edge of her bed , she got off the covers and stumbled to the window curtain next to her nightstand. She opened the curtain to have introduced the bright, luminous beams of the moon to her room. It made her room glow with pure white light and it was extremely captivating. Sakura then gave her attention to the moon in the night sky, that glowed and radiated with the transparent, milky color she remembered seeing when she a little girl at Cross Academy.

Thoughts all of a sudden popped up from before she fell asleep, interrupting her peaceful moment looking up at the full moon. She then turned and bolted out of her room, not caring how messy her hair looked or how wrinkly her uniform was. She needed to get outside in the fresh air, the one other place she used to go to before she had decided to finally go to Kiyomizu Mansion.

Sakura ran past Ichijou in the process of fleeing down the stairs.

"Lady Sakura." He called, "where are you-" She didn't get to hear the rest of the sentence because she pushed the large doors and continued to run. He sighed. "What is she doing?" Seated on the couch in the lounge, having watched the whole thing was Aidou. He blinked a few times before looking at Ichijou walking down the stairs.

"Where the hell is she going?" He asked. Ichijou shrugged and sighed once again.

"I don't know, but I hope she'll be okay." Ichijou said. Then he had a notion going through his head, he looked at Aidou and it was known what was wanted of him.

"No no no." Aidou answered, "I'm not going after her."

"Come on Hanabusa," Ichijou begged, "Kaname told you to watch over her anyway." He growled and groaned as he looked up at the windows that neared the roof letting through the beams of moonlight that unknowingly caused Sakura to bolt from the Moon Dormitory.

~xXx~

She stopped to breathe as she neared the lake. Only a few feet away was the water in which reflected a light that gave Sakura the peace she needed to sort through her thoughts. She sat down and leaned against a tree as her eyes drifted to the reflection from the lake and the actual moon that gave off the peaceful glow. Finally she could relax and think for at least the moment. The moon was like a white orb whose power illuminated to all who allowed it's peaceful gleam take hold and bring them into what was like a wonderful dream. A dream filled with peace and calm and a wonderful joy. She stayed like that for about fifteen minutes and was about lost in her so called dream when she smelled the particular scent whose origin was very familiar to her.

"Aidou." She called, "there's no use hiding, I can smell you." He came out from the trees and sighed.

"Why the hell are you out here?" He asked. Her head turned towards his own and she looked into his cool blue eyes.

"Because I can be." She retorted. "And what are you doing out here? Getting another "snack" I presume?"

"No." He announced, "if I was, I wouldn't be anywhere near here." Sakura made a gruff sound.

"Whatever you say..." She trailed. Sakura looked back towards the moon as Aidou sat a foot away from her. He turned to look at her. Her hair glowed from the beams that hit her silver hair and her green eyes glowed like no other. Her pale skin illuminated and the features of her face were greatly highlighted. If he was going to say anything, he would say that she looked absolutely beautiful. Aidou had never seen a girl that looked quite like her not that he would say that to Sakura though. He knew she hated compliments like that especially from him since the first night they met. They had gotten off on the wrong foot and now he noticed that Sakura tried her best to stay away from him and Kaname. From his perspective anyway.

"Please tell me why you're out here?" He asked. She sighed.

"Because I needed somewhere to think," was her response.

"Why? You have the mansion don't you?" He questioned.

"Do you think I want to be at the place that reeks of my parents blood?" She reasoned.

"This place is so boring though." He complained, "and it smells."

"Too bad." She said, "I'm not leaving, not for a while at least. So you can either stop being a pain in the ass or leave. Your choice." He grumbled and thought it over before closing his mouth and viewing the moon with Sakura.

It was at least twenty minutes before Sakura said another word.

"This place means something to me." She said quietly. Aidou peered at her as she spoke. "I used to come here a lot before I had the audacity to go to my aging home. The pain was so great, so I came here instead." She had no idea why she was telling him this. She never told a single soul about this place, not even Yuki knew. "I always ran away from my new home and came here to think." She smiled. That was the first time he had ever seen her smile like that. It had a calm and a joy that she probably hadn't felt in a very long time. "I never knew where to go, so I came here. I would just sit here for hours on end looking up at the stars. I would always think about my parents and the nights we would stargaze, and how I would always fall asleep twenty minutes in." She laughed, just a little. But it was enough for Aidou to see something else, she was being herself. The wounds were healing and she was getting better. Slowly but surely, her heart was mending. "I was always so stuck on blaming myself and wallowing in self pity, but it took a dream to make me realize that I need to let go and no matter how hard that is, I'm going to try." Sakura looked at Aidou in the eyes and smiled. "I guess I have you to thank a little bit."

"What." He asked incredulously. She gave him a blank stare.

'Don't look so surprised." She returned. "I don't know why, but I feel like I have to thank you. That you did something that helped me out." He became flustered and a tint of red showed on his face. Sakura saw it very clearly and laughed.

"Shut up!" He ordered.

"Don't tell a Pureblood what to do!" She laughed, "and you call yourself Kaname's follower?" She tried holding in the laughter and succeeded. He began to get up and leave.

"This is ridiculous." Aidou muttered.

"Oh come on." Sakura replied, "I'm only joking. Sit, and watch with me for a little longer." He looked her as she smiled and gave in. He sat still a foot away and they both looked at the glowing orb called the moon.

I'm getting better mom and dad. She thought.

"Everything is going to be okay."


I actually decided that I will give make this chapter the finish. Yes, there are many unanswered questions from the beginning of the story to now but that will be for another story. x3 I am sorry for those that don't like how this ended. It was a decision I came up with on my own. ^_^ Review please, they are very much my cookies. :)
