Chapter 5 A Good Feeling
It was the night of the dance and well, the Night Class is still pretty shocked from yesterday… Kaname's order, my acceptance, and Zero carrying me to his room. It was just… so much… DRAMA! Anyways, regardless of what Kaname said, I was going to that dance. There was absolutely NOTHING he could do to stop me. Or so I thought…
~Flash back~
Yuuki and I were getting ready for the dance. Kaname had given her a dress. She wore it, and it made her look GORGEOUS. It was a white dress with flowing ribbons that ended at her knees (the one from the show). She had a white ribbon with a rose tied around her neck. I looked basically the same, except I made my own dress. It was black with a large bow at the end. The sleeves baring my shoulders, held up with spaghetti straps. It also ended at my knees. I, too, had a ribbon around my neck. It was black with a red rose on it. I left my long hair down, and put a black hair band in it. Yuuki squealed with delight and commented on how pretty I looked. I giggled and returned all the compliments. Soon, we were ready. We were late. The dance had already started. We grabbed our shoes and ran. Of course, mine were black and Yuuki's were white.
When we got to the dance hall, I made sure I went in a few minutes after Yuuki did. The chatter stopped and everyone gasped. When everything was loud again, I did my silent entry, but right when I opened the doors, the music stopped, the chatter stopped, and everyone stared. I flushed and began to leave, feeling uncomfortable, but Takuma had dragged me in already. I felt eyes all over me, so I concentrated on my hand entwined with Takuma's. it was then that I realized that he was holding it! I pulled it away gently and just followed him. I just sat there, watching everyone dance, searching for Zero. I caught him staring at me weirdly, and he quickly looked down. Just then, a day class girl approached him. Using my vampiric hearing skills, I heard her ask him to dance. At first he looked surprised, but she kept on insisting. Finally he gave in. He glanced at me, and I looked away, hurt. Almost as if on cue, Ichiru came to me, and told me I had a line of people wishing to dance with me. I gave him a sheepish smile and said no. But I watched Zero dancing and I felt jealous, so, I decided to have my own fun. I stared at the long line of males. Takuma was first in line. Reluctantly, I got up and trudged towards them. Ichiru followed behind.
"Let's get this over with," I muttered to him.
I put on a smile and took Takuma's out stretched hand. We twirled around the dance floor, as I listened to him laugh. I felt awkward, and out of place with him. As I finished dancing with the last boy, I felt 2 pairs of eyes boring into my back. I turned to see Kaname's death glare, and Zero's jealous one.
"Crap…" I muttered to no one in particular.
I quickly turned to run, but Kaname was at my side in an instant. Once again, the music had stopped, all eyes on me. His glare locked my eyes with his. I swallowed hard. He screamed at me, making everyone jump. But not me… I was well used to it by now. I turned to leave, but he gripped my arm, HARD, causing me to hiss quietly. Shiki, Rima, Seiren, Takuma, Yuuki, Zero, and Kain (my newest friend) had come to my aid.
"Kaname," Yuuki warned in a cold voice I had never heard her use before. His grip loosened, only to harden again when he realized she had just defended me. She gave a stern look, but this time, he gripped so hard, something cracked. I drew in a quick breath and squeezed my eyes shut. The day class just stared.
"LET. HER. GO," Zero growled through his teeth. Kaname merely laughed and dragged me to the exit. The day class parted for us, I did nothing to protect myself. What was the point? This was bound to happen. When we were outside, Kaname spoke again.
"Let's see. Other than Yuuki, who else is closest to you?" he muttered.
He scanned the night class. When he saw my little group of friends, he looked for who would have the most effect on me.
"Don't," I pleaded, "they have nothing to do with this. It's been 15 years and I STILL don't know what 'this' is!" I screamed. The night class was surprised at how loud I could be. Though it hurt, I tor my now healed arm out of his claws.
"You have no right to talk to me this way," he said.
"Yea? And you have no right to treat me this way," I retorted.
The night class wasn't the only ones who were surprised at how rude I was being. I was too, but I watched Kaname's expression waver. There was a slight murmuring in the crowd. Feeling his discomfort, I continued.
"What kind of a 'Perfect Leader' are you anyways? How do you expect your people to follow you and expect you to treat them well if you can't even treat your own sister well?!" I yelled again.
"I DO TREAT YUUKI WELL!" he cracked.
I flinched at the amount of hurt that slammed into me. My lips tightened. I wanted to yell everything I thought about him to the world, but I started off quiet.
"I don't even know why you say things like that. Things that hurt me. Why you treat me like I'm a disease."
"BECAUSE YOU ARE ONE! CAN'T YOU SEE?!"
That really hit a nerve. Right then and there, I exploded and poured out everything I thought of him.
"LOOK. I MAY LOOK DIFFERENT THAN MAMA AND PAPA, BUT YUUKI AND I ARE STILL TWINS. WE'RE RELATED. SO IF YOU ARE SO CHILDISH THAT YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT, I DON'T SEE HOW YOU GOT TO BE OLDEST!" I exclaimed.
There was a silence that followed. Shortly after I had found Kaname's weakness, he began again.
"Yea? Well –"
"You know what? SAVE IT. I QUIT. I am DONE with you and your pathetic games."
With that, I turned to leave. To go back to the dance. I had composed my face to look as if nothing ever happened, but since there was no music, I'm sure everyone heard my little outburst. People stared at me as I walked in, but I gave anyone I had eye contact with a stone hard glare and they immediately turned, afraid. I felt powerful, like I just over threw a kingdom. I felt… I felt GOOD…
