Chapter 5 – Secrets

"…Your mother said that?" Kaname snorted in disgust, his hands balling up into fists as he glared at the wall.

I nodded mutely; I didn't want to say anything that would provoke the pureblood any further.

"…Tell me again what she said. Repeat her exact words," Kaname whispered, his knuckles going white with the pressure he was applying to them. I gulped, and nodded.

"Think of it this way, daughter. Even if you don't like him, do it for the senate. We could use him," I quoted, and he growled in rage.

"Who does she think she is?" he hissed, his eyes turning a blood red in colour. I could tell he was close to losing it; the window behind him was already beginning to crack.

"Kaname…" I whispered, trying to calm him down. He snarled a little, and the window smashed into pieces; shards of glass flying everywhere, one shard grazing my arm, catching me by surprise. I yelled out, and Kaname's eyes returned to their usual colour, and he ran to me as I clutched my arm.

"I'm so sorry, Delmaria!" he yelled, and I sighed.

"It's ok. It's just a graze; It'll heal soon," I told him, but he wouldn't give up so easily. With a little effort, he pulled my hand away from my injured arm, when the cut had already healed, only to be replaced by a small pink scar that was healing fast. The only trouble was the blood that had leaked from my cut when it was open.

"I'm fine. I'll go clean myself up a bit," I said hastily, not wanting to provoke Kaname further. When Kaname said nothing, I looked at him, to see him looking at the floor; his eyes shielded by his hair.

"…Kaname?" I murmured, trying to get his attention. When he didn't respond, I started to panic. What was wrong with him?

"Ah!" I yelped out as I felt a tongue run along my arm, lapping up the blood with eagerness.

"K-Kaname," I stuttered, blushing madly as he made his way upwards, tongue running across the bare skin of my neck.

"Delmaria," he muttered, and I gasped as I felt his fangs beginning to descend from his jaws.

"Kaname, no, please! I don't –" My plea for him to stop was cut short by a low growl rumbling in Kaname's chest, making me shudder.

"Kaname…" I whispered, and I braced myself, ready for the sudden pain.

"Kaname? Are you there?"

I gasped as Kaname whipped his head around, glaring slightly at the door, before sighing, and pulling away from me.

I sighed a little in relief. That was close…too close.

"Yes. Come in, Ichijo," he murmured, his voice returning to its gentle, calm state. I inhaled deeply; what would Takuma think if he had come a few seconds later? If he had smelt my blood?

The door opened, and Takuma stepped in, a small smile on his face. He spotted me, standing next to Kaname's desk, and he bowed slightly, before grinning happily.

"Hello, Delmaria. How are you?" he asked, and I forced a smile.

Oh, I'm shitting myself right about now!

"I'm good, thanks. How about you?" I asked, and he winked at me.

"I'm fine, thank you. Although, I am very tired. Controlling the Night Class is extremely difficult," he sighed, running a hand through his pale blonde hair.

"Oh, is that so?" I said, staring at the Vice President curiously.

Hmm…I've never really noticed this before, but Takuma is quite the handsome young man…wait, wait, wait! What am I thinking?

"You won't have to worry about that anymore, Ichijo. I'll be in charge again tomorrow," Kaname stated, and Takuma glanced thankfully at the male pureblood. I smiled; Takuma seemed so easy to read.

"Anyway, I came here to escort Miss. Delmaria to her dorm room. Shanon is getting worried," Takuma explained, and I stepped forwards, eager now.

"Did she cause any trouble?" I asked, promising myself that I would punish her if she had.

"Not at all! In fact, she was extremely helpful! She even stayed after class to help tidy up! Also…" Takuma paused, eying my wearily, before continuing, "She's gained a couple of friends," he ended, and I gasped.

"Seriously?" I stuttered, and Takuma laughed at my gobsmacked face.

"Yes. The two happen to be very good friends of mine. Their names are Senri Shiki and Rima Toya," he explained, and I nodded, remembering the names Senri and Rima from one of magazines. They were models.

"The two prefer to keep to themselves. I could tell that Shanon liked the look of them immediately, so I introduced them to each other. They got along really well," he stated, and I smiled.

"That's good. I was starting to worry that Shanon would never find any friends," I whispered, and Takuma gave me a confused look.

"But, you're her friend, right? And so am I!" Takuma stated happily, and I shook my head sadly.

"You know what I mean. When it comes to making friends, Shanon can be…a little unsociable. Sometimes it can get extremely frustrating…I'm surprised that you got her to talk to other vampires other than myself when I'm not around. I'm impressed," I murmured, and a small blush lit up Takuma's face.

"T-Thank you, Delmaria, but really, it was nothing," Takuma stuttered, and I smiled kindly at him.

"If you say so," I murmured, before taking a step towards Kaname.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Kaname," I whispered, and he sighed a little in disappointment, before grabbing my wrist, and pulling me to him. I gasped as he hugged me tightly, crushing me a little in his iron grip.

"Until then, you'll be in every thought I have," he murmured, and I blushed a deep crimson.

"Good night, Kaname," I whispered, choosing to shoot a quick smile at him, before walking out of his dorm room with Takuma.

"What was that all about?" Takuma asked, and I blushed.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I lied, looking away when Takuma glanced at me.

"Don't act so ignorant. He was…well…y'know…all over you, in a way. I could smell the pent up tension in the air," Takuma stated, tapping his nose mischievously.

"You must be imagining things," I insisted, forcing myself to glare a little the Vice President.

He grinned a little; he was enjoying the fact that he was getting a reaction out of me.

"I think not. My senses have never failed me before."

"Well maybe they are now."

Takuma sighed, and stopped walking, leaning against the corridor wall.

"Ok, Delmaria. What exactly is your relationship with Kaname?" Takuma asked, his mouth set in a straight unmoving line.

I instantly felt nervous; this new Takuma scared me.

"…why are you asking me this? You have no right to pry into my personal affairs," I stated, flicking my hair to the side.

"I'm not doing this for my own benefit. I just need to know that my friend is and will be safe," Takuma whispered, and my eyes went wide with shock.

"Your friend? Kaname, you mean?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Yes. Me and Kaname have known each other for many years. I consider him to be my most loyal friend," Takuma explained, and I nodded thoughtfully, saying nothing.

"So now you understand why I have to know this. I fear for Kaname's wellbeing," he ended, and I sighed in frustration, and faced him.

"…To be perfectly honest with you, I haven't a clue what our relationship is, Takuma. I feel like…well, like he's trying to rush things. It doesn't really feel official, y'know?" I stated, looking at the floor.

I didn't know why I had confessed to Takuma about it. I had planned to keep it a secret for a while at least, until there was someone who I knew I could trust. Why was it…why was I confessing all of these things to this boy?

Here's Chapter 5! Hope you enjoyed!
