Vampire Knight: Blood Chronicles
Chapter 5: Fallen
I didnt want to, but I looked back at them to see if they noticed me standing here. And no, they didnt. They're so busy doing...what their doing, that they dont even realize that Im standing here! My feet wont stop shaking, my heart is pounding faster and louder. How could Kizumi do this to me? ...What am I saying? Kizumi hasn't even bother to look my way. I wonder if its because of the way I look... I dont compare to Angel. That is, the Angel from the fiery pits of hell! And yes, im going back to my hellish evil mind again. Angel of all things bad and complete envy! Aren't you vampire are suppose to have super hearing or something? Even if I cant say anything, you're suppose to hear me standing here right? Well then what is it? My heart not pounding loud enough for you? My blood not tasty enough for you? Is it because I dont have silver hair or red eyes? Is it because Im not a vampire? Or maybe its because im not big boobed enough! "JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS!" Tears exploded from my eyes but I didnt even make a noise. It was just pure silence. I could feel Kizumi and his hoer staring at me. I cant believe I just said that out loud. And why did my voice just now come back?
"Nan--"
Kizumi was about to say something, but I cut him off, refusing to give him eye contact. "I... never expected something like this from you..." My foot took a step back. Oh yeah now, you wanna move! And my tears began to flow out rapidly. I only hope that it will be too dark for them to notice me crying. "Im..." Oh no, the ugly cry is coming. Its the type when you cry so bad that you make the ugliest of faces, your eyes are blood shot red, and your crying so hard that you voice begins to get out of tune with your original melody of sadness. And to top if off, its featuring music artist is the hick up nose but worse. "..Im sorry..." I was sorry. I was sorry about walking in on them. I was sorry for actually thinking I had a chance to be with Kizumi. I worked so hard to be as strong as I was now. To be pushed back into my shell like this.
FLASHBACK:
The headmaster walked in with my small hand in his palm. His long black hair swayed. A big dopey smile helped light up his face along with his aqua blue eyes. "From now on, her name will be Kikyome! It took me forever to think of it! I stood up all night and day!" Jacob and Kizumi sighed with a sweet drop.
"You're using Kikyo and Kagome's name put together? How original." Jacob stated with an amused took on his face.
"Yeah you like it?! Very original isn't it?! HAHA I am victorious!"
"I was being sarcastic!" Ryuka's face went from happy to confused.
"So you dont like it?"
"I hate it!" Jacob glared at the headmaster. Mr. Ryuka looked like he was about to cry.
"Really? But I worked so hard." Kizumi smiled as he made a light laugh.
"With all do respect father, that name is hardly suiting. We'd be doing better if we stuck to her nickname "Cutie"." He got off his chair to walk over to me. Bending down to my height, I hid behind the Headmaster, barring my face in his back. "Im sorry. Do I scare you?" I didnt know what I was hiding for. This man just saved my life. I shouldn't be afraid. But I was. I shook my head, still buried in Headmasters back. "Then what are you hiding for?" I lifted my head to look at Kizumi and shrugged. He laughed a bit after petting my head lightly. "I would like your name to be Kawai." Jacob lifted his head off his palm.
"Really? Kawai? I guess its ok. How about you name her something terrifying?! Like Athena War goddess of Destruction!" Jacob clutched his fist in a determined face as Kizumi glared at him.
"...No." Kizumi said simply.
"AHH!!" The headmaster smiled a big grin. "That's perfect!" He turned around to grab my cheeks. "Kawai-chan!! Kawai! Kawai Ryuka!!" Kizumi hit Headmaster upside the head.
"Let her go! You're going to scare her even more!" Headmaster let go of my face as Kizumi cherished my cheeks.
"Are you alright?"
"Ha!" Jacob pointed to Kizumi. "You ladies man!"
Kizumi ignored him. "Do you have a name little one?" At first I didnt want to say anything. But he saved me from Mr. Ryuka's cheek attack. I nodded.
"The name... I was given, was Naname." Jacob and Headmaster looked at each as Kizumi smiled at me more.
"Naname..." I could hear Headmaster mumble about how he liked Kawai more. "Naname, Im going to take advantage of you."
"What?" Immediately, Mr. Ryuka turned around to raise his fist.
"No you're not!" Completely ignoring the blue eyed man, Kizumi continued.
"You owe me your life. But instead of Life I want you to be comfortable with me." The head master fooled his arms as he mumbled.
"Well if that's not the most perverted sounding thing I've ever heard..."
"Naname... I dont want you to be afraid anymore. Im here for you. There's no reason to hide. I will protect you from anything that could ever harm you." His smile was so kind and soothing. It made me want to hug him and never let go.
"Kizumi..." I barley spoke his name before he grabbed my clutching palm and kissed it.
"I promise."
END OF FLASHBACK:
Opening theme
:You are the only "you":
Till now and from now on
Even if there comes a time
When the whole world becomes our enemy
I'll protect you,
So dont give up, single flower
You are like a flower
That bloomed in a dark shadow
Even though you're in a place you didnt wish to be,
You cant move because of your roots
Just spit out your closed-up feelings
You are the only "you"
Till now and from now on
Even if there comes a time
When the whole world becomes our enemy
I'll protect you,
So dont give up, single flower
TIME, NOTICE THAT,
YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT
YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT
NOTCIE THAT, THERE'S NO OTHER.
My hands made contact with the door handle. Swinging it open, I bolted out of the room. I could feet my feet get heavier the farthest I got away from Kizumi's room. I came to save him. I cam to save him for once in my life, to save him from Jasons kiss. Who knows what that idiot has. But in the end, all I did was sacrifice my own feelings. And I still didnt get that damn box! I feel like such a fool! Kizumi said that he wanted to protect me. Not even him could protect my feelings.
Jason pov
After slamming my black broach and red arm tag on Headmasters table I glared at him. I will let my eyes do the talking. He better give me back my Membership.
"Jason, what are you doing?"
...I didnt work. "Let me keep my badge. I have duty to fulfill as a Member of the DCM. What happened in the West Dorms wasn't my fault! It was that Kuran! And I have to protect Naname! She's a complete air head and who knows what would happen to her without me."
"As I recall, you shot her. I understand it was an accident. But right now, the person who needs protection is Naname. And She need it from you. Dont blame situations you caused on other people. It makes you look less like a man." He laughed hysterically. "HAHAHA! Im such a clever one! I crack myself up!" ...That Laugh... How irritating. If only I could burn him alive. I wonder if he would still be laughing then. "But no, no. I cant have you a member if your very existence there threatens the safety of your own members. Im sorry." Why does he have to say this with a smirk on his face?! Its like he's mocking me! "However, I do think its cute how your motive of being a DCM is to protect my cute little Kawai-chan Naname." He took a long sigh with a perverted look on his face. Why does he have to smile like that?! "I know how you must feel. Being able to get injured in the line of duty..." He covered his eyes with the tips of his figures. "... then have Naname come over and hold you in her arms 'No Jason! No dont Go!' she says." ...What is wrong with this guy? " 'But…I cant…Naname' Your breath is about to leave your heart. Soft screams of Naname burst in your ears." How can a scream be soft? " 'Jason! No!' she hugs his face close to her chest, her eyes weep a sweet song of sorrow as your eyes drift off to a never ending darkness. But in your mind, your last thoughts are ' man would I like to # #& #!# # and then #& #!#. My, its just too hard. Why did I have to die so soon?' Oh, the heart and love of teenage romance! Its such a beautiful thing!" He yelled as he hugged himself.
"You sick Bitch..."
Completely ignoring my comment, he continued. "Not that I hardly blame you. Naname is so cute! I bet her &# is even cuter!"
"Ack!" I could feel my face flush a bit. This man is crazy! Not only that, but he'd talking and rambling on so fast! I bet he could talk forever!
"Oh yes, I see that I have a reaction out of you! I know you want to do it. Its fine. Its a part of human nature! Not even I can help it. I must say from man to man, Sometimes I even go down to the &# !#! and &#&# all by myself! But what can i say. I mans gotta # when a mans gotta #&! If you want and she agrees, I'd be happy to make arrangements of your marriage!" I sighed and looked down to the floor. Mumbling a bit.
"Yeah as if. ...The only person her eyes ever look at is Kizumi..."
"Ah Ha! So you do want to marry my daughter!"
"What? I didnt..."
"Yes you did! You did, you did!"
"I didnt mean it like -- shut up!"
"How sad! Unrequited love! She loves the man you hate the most. What a triangle!" He sighed as I raised my fist. "I pity you."
"God damn you're annoying!"
"Aww you're blushing! I've never seen you blush so red before Kyruu. How cute!" I turned my back to him facing the door. "Tell me what Naname's # feel like! Dont forget the 5 basic rules! Suck, #, nibble, nibble, poke, stroke! "
"You damn perv!" I turned around to hit him with my clutched fist when he caught it. His face still lit up with that dopey smile which made most people feel violated in some weird since. Who the hell would have thought he was so strong! It was like he was crushing my hand into broken bone pieces! He let go of me as I took back my palm. Ryuka left bruises. Him; Headmaster, left burses on my hand! I looked at my palm and then at him, and back at my palm again. No flipping way. A sudden chill went up my spine. It wasnt because of him. It was someone else. Turning my head toward the door, I randomly said. "Naname..."
"Yes. Naname. You want Naname, you wish you had Naname..." I ran out the room but not until I scattered all of his neatly placed papers off his desk. "Hey! That took forever to do!"
I dont know why, but I have an eerie feeling. Something is wrong and my instinks are always right. I narrowed my eyes as I ran out the building. Placing my feet in the right spots of the gate; I jumped over the 10 foot gate. I bet this has something to do with that blood sucker Kizumi.
Naname POV
My feet found their way to about half the bridge. If I hadn't looked up, I would have never known I was out of the building. Turning my head back toward the entrance of the school, I let out a long sigh. I doubt it if Kizumi will follow me. The sun is out now. There's also the fact that he was naked in bed. Its going to take a while for him to get dressed.
"Naname!" I turned my head around to see Jason running toward me. What is he doing here?
"Jason..." He finally reached me. Stopping to catch his breath he looked up at me.
"Hey what's wrong?"
"Huh?" I blinked indicating I was a bit confused.
"Something happened between you and Count Sucks a lot, didnt it."
"I never. ...You came all this way to see if I was ok?"
His face flushed a bit. "Well...yeah...I just -- are you ok or not? Because If you are, then I can go back to threaten the Headmaster."
I didnt want to talk about Kizumi. Looking away from him, I stared at the ground. "Nothing happened..." In the corner of my eye, I could see Jason ball up his fist.
"God damn Naname!" He placed his hands on my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. ...Wait... am I dreaming? This cant seriously be happening. Im confused. As if I needed to be even more confused then I am now.
"er...um... Jason is that you?"
"Shut up and listen. ...I know... In know I'm kinda rude to you." This is so weird. "But... I dont want you not to consider looking my way when you have a problem."
"... ??"
"I just want you to know... Im here." He let me go as I looked up at him. His eyes had drifted toward the sky as I smiled at him.
"Thank you." A silence fell upon us again. I think he's finally opening up to me. You have come a long way Jason.
"Will you quit smiling at me like that?! Its so annoying."
"Oh.. really?" I made a worried look as I took a step back.
"Er -- no! I dont mean it like that. It--" All of a sudden, a tear slid down my face, followed by many. I was just as surprised as Jason face looked. "No! Naname, Im sorry, dont cry..." I covered my face as I continued to ball out. How embarrassing. I know Jason probably has a worried look on his face. "Naname..." In an instant I opened my arms and hugged him, crying in chest. I almost knocked him over.
"Im sorry I'm such a ditz. And Im sorry..." I coughed. "You dont trust vampires. sniff I can kinda guess why now. I feel so bad for you!" I felt him hug me back.
"And why's that?"
"Because you were rapped by a vampire!"
Jason Pov
I felt my eye twitch as I looked down at Naname's head. ...WTF? "Um... Naname, what are you talking about?" I wanted to scream and curse but now was hardly the time.
"Its ok, Jason, you can cry with me if you want. You dont have to hide your past from me."
"When did you get this sick mind in your head that I was rapped?! ...By a vampire at that!" She let go of me with the few tears she had left lingering on the corner of her eye lashes.
"But you were weren't you? That's why you hate vampires."
"No!! I hate vampires because..." I sighed, placing my hand on my forehead. "Comon, lets get out of here, you cry baby." I grabbed her hand and jerked her forward, pulling her in the direction away from the West Dorms. This had to deal with Kizumi. I know it now. It was written all over her face. Turning my head to look at the building, I stared at the huge tented glass window. It would be hard for any normal human to see, but not me. Looking closely I glared into Kizumi's eyes.
"Fucking stalker"
Kuran smirked, his eyes glen a crimson red. "You're too funny, Kyruu. I was simply making sure you wouldn't shoot Naname again. Instead, I spotted you getting a bit too close to her. You're messing with fire, boy." I felt him send a compulsion. A move that most vampires do to control their enemies. My hands shook as I tried to keep a hold of Naname's hand. He was trying make me let go of her. Smirking, I took a stronger grip of Naname's hand.
"I was only getting close to her because I knew you were watching. I dont mind messing with fire. I never get burned." Kuran glared. It seems like I struck a nerve.
"You're feelings toward Naname are as broad as day light. I will make sure that those feelings of yours burn to ashes before they ever reach her. "
"...Who knows. Maybe the feelings of the person who got burned to ashes, is yours." I could tell that the glass Kizumi was looking through cracked. He's mad. Seeing him leave the window made me feel a bit better. The wholetime I was talking to him, my heart was pounding. It was as if he was trying to make my heart stop. Kizumi was sending a compulsion ; a compulsion to kill me.
I hadent notice that we stopped walking. "Er... ah Jason?" Naname stared at our hands. Why does she have to look at it like that? She never held hands with someone else before? I could feel my face blush a bit. What am I blushing for?
"Yeah? You want me to stop holding hands with you or something?"
"Um, no. It's just you're squeezing it too tight."
"Oh. Sorry." Releasing my grip a bit more I turned my head away from the building. "Why did you stop walking?"
"You seemed distracted, so I stopped. I didnt want you tripping over yourself."
"I can walk with my eyes closed and never stumble or hit anything."
"That's because of your physic abilities."
"Im not a physic."
"You came running to me then asked me if something was wrong. Truth was, the was something wrong. And It was because of Kizumi, just like you asked." I continued to walk straight ahead as in the corner of my eye, I could see Naname look down at the ground. "There's also the fact that when I went to find Kizumi, I did go to the West Dorms, but that was an hour in a forty-five minutes ago. In that time slot, I could have been anywhere on this campus, yet you knew where I'd be. You ran down the West Bridge, verses checking to see if I returned to my room or possibly stopped to grab a snack to eat down in the South End. Am I right, Jason?" I didnt say anything. It was annoying having to explain stuff. I'm not really physic. ...Its because of these powers... "You must either know me so well that you could figure out all of my daily patterns, or there's something special about you."
"You're obviously watching too much television."
"I know you're physic Jason!" She took back her hand. "Why you choose not to tell me, I dont know. But if its a secret, then its safe with me!" Naname looked at me with determination. She's such and idiot sometimes. But still... It was a lot better then her being down. Sadness doesn't suit her. She gasped. Her finger pointing in my face. "Jason... you're smiling..." Oh brother...
:A few hours later:
His long black hair was pushed into an up pony tail. The last sheet of paper finally went on top of one of the 5 stacks. The Headmaster nodded in approval with his dopey smile. "Finally the last one." Ryuka looked down toward his clock. "10:20 pm?! (Author: maybe not a few hours latter ') Naname said she was going to make dinner! Why didnt they come and get me?!" Sad tears fell from his eyes. "Naname's home cooking! Her beautiful home made food! Why?!" The door slammed open. The headmaster running toward the door to great the person. Snuggling them close. "Oh Naname! I knew you would call for me when your delicious dishes are ready! I just knew it!" Suddenly a fist came flying, knocking the headmaster into the air.
His heavy boots chuckled their way in as he stood to take in all of the changes within the room. His voice husky sounding as his appearance made him look no older then 32. "You know I dislike hugs, Angelus Ramon Ryuka."
Ryuka stood back up from being knocked into the air and hitting his butt. Covering his nose he spoke in a bit of a muffled tone. A tear sliding off his eyes. "You're so mean to me Aaron. I think you broke my nose."
"Stick a tissue in it."
"I would if I had any." A bright light shined from the inside of his hands before the trail of blood disappeared. He allowed his hands to drop back down to his side. His broken nose completely healed. The long sleeves of his robe hid his palms. "I remember when you use to love hugs. You were so adorable back then." He smiled and ducked out of the way from the silent flying bullet shot by Aaron.
"Shut up. "
Angelus shrugged. "But that was about 26 years ago. You're quite a handsome fellow to be the age you are now. My, my are you getting old."
"And you're looking the same." Aaron's heavy boots walked over to the chair. Collapsing on it, he rested his elbow on the arms of the chair and right hand on his forehead. His dark brown curly hair along with dark lavender eyes complemented each other with a contrast, even the scars that rested on his face.
Angelus placed his hands on his hips and stared at the one sitting in his favorite chair. "You being here cant be good. You must know that I accept all hunters into my school. That is; all hunters but your kind, Death Seeker."
His eyes met the Headmasters. "I never knew that's how you felt about us." He stood up again. "I was chasing after a Fallen. He seems to have disappeared around this area."
"A Fallen?" The blue eyed laughed. "You're worried about my safety Death Seeker? You're too kind. Surly, that Fallen would be after my soul, but its nothing I can't handle. You forget who I am. A Guardian angle like myself has nothing to fear." Aaron shut the door after placing a chant. "Hmm? What are you doing?"
"I cant have anyone hearing this conversation." He turned his head, looking at his old friend from over his shoulder." I highly doubt that any Fallen angel has the guts to go against someone as powerful as you. No matter how retarded and weak you may seem." He walked toward the windows and closed the curtain. "The Council fears that the Fallen could possibly be creating a pack with each other. If so, its probably to attack the last remaining run a way's that left heaven that have a weaker status then you. As you know, Fallens need spiritual energy to remain here. If they dont, they go down under; which is where they belong."
"But Fallens are no better then Level E's. They couldn't possibly be paining something like that on their own. You preach nonsense."
"Its not nonsense. I too believe that Fallens are too stupid to know right from wrong. This is why I and the Council think that there is obviously someone else pulling strings."
"Well then, who do you think It could be?"
Aaron shook his head. "I dont know." A silence filled the air for a while as they thought about who it could be.
"Fallens couldn't possibly be forming a pack to simply devour souls of pure ones. There has to be something more then that. Do you think they could be trying to take over the world like Pinky and the Brain?!" The curly haired man hit Ryuka in his head. "Owwy!"
"Get serious." He placed another chant upon the windows. "That is another reason why Im a bit uneasy. I keep wondering, if there is something that they could be after. Something much greater." His lavender eyes widen.
"Aaron?"
"That angel that ran way to be with the vampires, did you ever find her?!"
"What? No. They both were both killed by the Tsuketsuki's (Sue-ket-suki) on a different division then I. Why? I thought you all already knew that."
The Seeker walked away from Ryuka, stopping to look at all of the book collections stacked on the shelf. "Information on some matters are highly restricted. Specially from mortals. They can easily be used. I understand how bazaar it sounds to keep information like that from Death Seekers; People who chase after Fallen and corrupted angels, high classed Level E cases." Aaron turned around to look at his former Guardian Angel in the eyes. "I understand how you wouldn't wish to go back to heaven just for your safety. You have a life now. Kids, hunters, vampires who need and look up to you. So I will not ask you to leave. But if you have any students who have angels blood, a high active spiritual energy, including any pure blood vampires, I think it would be best if you could get them out of this area. Do you have anyone that fits those descriptions?"
Headmaster placed his finger to his lips as he was in deep thought. "I have a pureblood, a Kuran. And a few DCM members have a high spiritual energy. But no Angels. Just me."
"I will arrange for a plain to come for them tomorrow. Just tell me your destination."
"Im taking all of the vampires and some DCM members to Cross Academy. I suppose the DCM members who have the spiritual powers will have to be one of the eight who are going to Cross."
"Wow all the way to Japan. That would be a wise decision. Japan is an island after all."
"Ok then."
Aaron nodded as he reached for the door, breaking the seal that was upon the wall. "The plain will be here tomorrow night." The Seeker stopped before walking out the door. "Happy 513 rd birthday Angelus." The mortal allowed a smile to pass over his face. In an instant the angel came barging him with another hug.
"Oh I knew you would never forget my birthday! I just new it!"
"Get...off..."He managed to say those words despise the fact that the angel was crushing him in two.
Naname POV
I yawned while stretching my arms. I completely forgot to tell Headmaster Ryuka that the food was ready. Oh well, Im sure he'll find it when he walks into the dinning room. I probably forgot because I was still thinking about Kizumi. It happened a few hours ago, so the images are still so fresh in my mind. Shaking my head I clutched my fist. I want to get them out.
"Naname, pay more attention on the Gate and less on your day dreams. I wish you'd let whatever Kizumi did go. It couldn't have been that bad speaking that you're in love with him so much!"
"Shut up Jason!" That's right, I'm on Gate watchers duty. I Have to watch the North Gate, which is the gate that leads to the central building. Of course most people only come through here during the day to enroll their clan members. But the Vampires come during the night. I wonder if we're going to see any tonight.
"I bet we're going to see a vampire tonight." I shivered. Creepy. I hate it when Jason does that.
"What makes you say that? And why are you STILL here?! Aren't you suspended from the DCM membership?!" I poked Jasons chest. " Im sorry Mr. Kyruu, but all regular Hunter students must report to their dorm rooms at the least of 11 pm. And it takes 15 minutes just to walk to the central building from here! So you besta get the walkin' !"
"Dont tell me what to do! And So what if I was suspended! No one owns me. Specially not that pretty boy! He cant do a damn thing to me that would make me do as he says!" Yaoi yaoi yaoi yaoi yaoi yaoi! /o/ "And quit thinking perverted!"
"Im not thinking perverted!"
"I know you! You cant hide your thoughts form me!"
"What?! My thoughts are mine and mine alo--" Jason covered my mouth as he looked off toward the bridge. It was so dark down there, pitch back really. There weren't any lights to see either; not like the West, East, and South Bridge. Jerking my head away I smiled. "Is it a vampire?!" I asked happily. Jason didnt reply. His face said that there was something wrong. Then there was a red glister. Like a light. Soon it became apparent that it was two red eyes. Waving I smiled then ran to great the person who was walking forward. "Hi!" Jason caught my arm before I could walk anymore then eight feet.
"Stop Naname!"
"Jason what are you doing? Let go. Dont you think its rude not to greet new students?"
"...But...they're not human..." I shook his arm off.
"Well thanks for the comment Captain Obvious. Of corse they're not human!" He grabbed my cheeks and turned my head to look at the person walking forward. Their eyes were red, but their face was pale, and old. A scary noise escaped deep within their throat. What the--
"F#?!" Jason took the word right out of my mouth. That thing didnt look human at all! Er- or like a vampire. It didnt walk as a matter of fact, it staggered. He moved to the left, then to the right in a very weird manner. He was like the Heartless walking from Kingdom Hearts. How he squealed made me feel so uncomfortable, I wanted to crap my skirt!
When it spoke, its voice was so horse. Like someone ripped its voice box out. "Angels Blood. Guardian Angels Blood!" What is this thing?!
:Hi Miss Alice:
Do you remember me?
The person who's always with you?
Who's always with you...
And only with you...
Angelic kisses upon your small forehead
Promises must be kept
Slowly, I walk away from your extended hand
Grab my heart, so lonely
Still you do not answer
Still you do not remember
