* Here is chapter 3! Sorry for the long wait. School sucks. Here goes. R&R*
" A ball tonight huh?" I asked Kaname. " I guess I have to go with you?" I asked as we left the Association and were at his house walking around.
" If you want." came his short reply. Kaname was busy walking through his house to his bedroom.
" I want to, but I have doubts about it. My necklace can't possibly be anywhere in that room." I replied, walking behind him.
" Then don't go. Its a simple decision whether you want to our not."
I glared at the back of his head.
" Glaring at me isn't going to help your cause you know." Kaname stated with a smile evident in his voice.
" Whatever." I huffed. Jerk. " Who's going to be there."
" Hunters and vampires."
" Oh. Hey, speaking of vampires can I ask you something?"
We reached his room and was about to open the door when he stopped and waited for my question.
" Yes, what is it."
" That night... when Shizuka attacked my family... you had nothing to do with it right?"
The tension that was visibly showing ebbed away immediately. He turned to me with an elegantly raised eyebrow and an amused expression.
" Now where in the world did that question come from." he asked and opened the door to his study before shutting it behind him and leaving me to sit down in a rocking chair near his desk.
" Well Shizuka was in a prison and there was no way for her to get out. She was guarded all day and night."
" She probably killed the guards and escaped. Its that simple."
" But she was locked in a strong anti- vampire cage, Kuran. Get the hint already." I said harshly.
He turned his head to glare at me from some paper work that was scattered neatly on his desk.
" Why are you bothering about this? I didn't have anything to do with Kiryuu or your families deaths. Now stop being a pest and go look for that so called precious necklace your so keen on finding and get off my back already." Kaname snapped.
" Wha-" My eyes widening at his outburst.
" Go away dog." He hissed.
" Fine! Jeez, all I asked you was one small question. No need to be that angry. You know you made yourself that much more guilty looking. If you are that is." I sneered and stalked out of the room without a backwards glance.
I walked through the forest away from Kaname's home not caring where I was going. If he wanted to see me he just can transport me to where ever he is. The foliage was thick and there was barely any light that reached the ground. But there were few flowers and small plants that grew where the sunlight managed to come through. Deer, squirrels and other creatures scuttled and scurried about on the forest floor unaware that I was walking among them. I let loose a giant sigh. When I was talking to Kaname he seemed like he knew something that I didn't, like he was trying to hid something. But of course if I asked him again he would just blow me off like he did before.
I stopped walking when I reached a steep cliff. The drop looked to be eight to ten stories high. From left to right I looked across the horizon where the sun was beginning to set to see if any civilization was close to where I was. I had to squint because of the bright rays of the sunset colored the forest. There! I could barely make it out. If I were human I would have never spotted it. A small triangle shape reached up and out of the forest. Looking down farther I saw that it was connected to a large rectangular shaped building. Cross Academy! No way! I smiled triumphantly and scowered the cliff for means of getting down.
" This is ridiculous! I'm a ghost for crying out loud. Can't I just float?" I cried out throwing my arms up in the air. I took one step over the edge of the cliff... and fell.
" AAAHHHH!" I screamed and grabbed a rock that jutted out of the cliff face.
" Apparently not." I grunted and hung there for a minute. " What am I going to do!" I searched for another rock that stuck out and luckily there was one near my left foot, then another. Soon they were all easy to see and I made my way towards the bottom with ease.
" Much better!" I said to myself and faced the forest. I guess I'll just have to phase. Walking might take all day.
It turned out to be faster and I reached the fence to the Academy. Yay! 15 minutes and I made it.
"Being a wolf sure does have its perks now and then." I sighed and trotted through the fence and the small thicket near the moon dorms. A cluster of about 5 or 6 girls were clustered near a few bushed and the appeared to be looking at something. I edged closer to get a peek
" Whats this thing doing here? " said one of the girls.
" Its a grave, stupid. Its been here for a while."
My ears shot upwards. A grave? Could it be...
" What in the world is a grave doing here." said a blond with a lollipop sticking out of the corner of her mouth. " That chairman should get rid of it."
" The chairman is the one who put it there, Hikari" said a brunette.
The brunette crouched down and brushed away the vines and a spider web that had formed there, including the spider which scurried past the blonde's feet. She shrieked. " Eww. I can't believe you did that Saki!"
" Do we even know this chic? I haven't heard of her before." said Hikari.
" She probably went here before we did, but the death date was last year. She would be a junior by now, seventeen... no, probably eighteen?" wondered Saki.
I got up to be right behind the girls and moved through them to see the headstone to stand next to Hikari. I fell to my knees in astonishment.

WE WILL MISS YOU
Birth September 24, 1995

" Lets go guys, its past curfew and Kiryuu-kun is going to kill us if he finds us." said Saki and they headed off leaving me alone.
My eyes started to burn and I sat down on the grass to stare at my name and then the words Beloved Sister caught my eye. Something dripped onto my coat and I looked down to see what it was. Tears.
I leaned forward and put my head into my hands.
" I-I'm so sorry Kaito. I miss you too."
Review please! That is all I ask. Still short yes I know DO NOT kill me! They will get longer.*
