Day before St. Chocolate
Ruby's Brother POV
"I'm tired. Why, why, why is it that I have to attend school in the morning now? I want to take a nap." I moaned as we were in the car heading towards Cross Academy.
Michael Shirabuki, my sister's evil assistant made me delay my flight to Japan just because I disappeared and did not do any of the company's work for a week, who rushed to Japan when my sister summoned him last night.
My two assistants, Jupiter and Josephine Ouri (They are siblings), sat opposite to me and had identical blank faces while hunching over a stack of mangas that they insisted should be brought to Cross Academy.
I'm bored, very bored. But I hope what will happen in Cross Academy would some fun. The last time I had so much fun was 10,000 years ago, when vampires were at war with one another.
Finally, the car pulled up in front of a huge gate that I assumed was Cross I stepped out of the car, what I saw was a girl that looks suspiciously like a Kuran came to greet me.
"Hi, I am Yuuki, I assume that you are Ruby-san's brother, and the people accompanying you are?"
"I am Jason Walkermen, while the people accompanying me are Ruby's and my remaining assistants. Where is my sister?"
"Oh, she is…", "I'm here. Miss me?" My sister said in a sarcastic tone.
I ignored her and asked "Where's Annabeth? I thought she always follow you around."
"I will explain to you later. Currently, the more important issue is for you to go meet Chairman Cross"
"I dislike that guy. Why did we have to attend his school just because an interesting event is going to happen here?" I muttered under my breath.
"Well that is for you to answer yourself" Obviously, my sister answered, she has extremely good hearing.
After we reached the Chairman's office and Yuuki left the room. Michael who was extremely concerned about Annabeth asked where she is.
"Now she is just resting in my dorm room right now."
"Why?"
"She got shot."
"WHAT! Is she alright?" Michael shouted.
"Calm down, I took care of Annabeth's wound. Don't you dare rush over to her right now, Michael." My sister threatened when she saw Michael turn to face the door.
"Hah! Your assistants obviously like one another, and yet they both refuse to admit it."I crowed.
"Jason! How dare you…" My sister was interrupted by a girly 'Jason-san'. The Chairman continued, "I will assume that you have the same achievements as your sister, am I right?"
"Yes, and if you want to save some time, you can photocopy the achievements of my sister."
"Chairman Cross, I would like to go to class now. I will take my brother along to class. Jupiter and Josephine, can you bring Jason's luggage to his dorm room?" My sister told Cross and my assistants.
Ruby's POV
"Michael and Jason, come on, let's go to class.
On our way to class, Jason started to complain about Michael forcing him to do work.
"Haha, serves you right. Who told you to disappear on me for a week? Hey Jason, tomorrow is St. Chocolate Day or Valentine, what do you want?"
"Ehh… I want to make all the Night Class chocolate. And maybe play a few jokes on that Aidou Hanabusa that you were complaining about and his cousin. Maybe I will come in a suit tomorrow and charm all the girls in the Day Class and let's see how they will react."
"Good one, brother! Tomorrow I will come in a dress tomorrow and win all the Night Class boys hearts. Well, except Kuran Kaname, of course." I answered. We reached the classroom and I headed for my seat while Michael followed behind me and my brother went to the seat beside Yuuki.
We listened as the Day Class (except Zero) chatted excitedly about St. Chocolate Day tomorrow. Yori and Yuuki looked up as Jason sat beside them and he smiled charmingly and said, "I am Jason Walkermen and I am my sister's twin brother. I am 16. Please help me in adjusting to this school." As he said this, more girls looked at how handsome he was and started shrieking.
He is being a gentleman again, as usual. Can't say that when he is fighting some irritating vampires. Though I have to say the girls are not the first people to be dazzled by him.
My brother took out his Math textbook and started doing the sums in it. The girls looked on in a trance as he completed the 1st chapter in a matter of minutes and finished the whole book in 45 minutes. Just then, the Mathematics teacher entered the classroom and asked the class to read the 2nd chapter as he prepared a few questions.
I saw him doodle on his sketch pad as the teacher asked students to answer his questions. The teacher saw him not concentrating and asked him to answer the most difficult question. He looked up and I saw him looked at the board with a bored gaze and answered.
We left the classroom after a few hours and headed for our rooms. I walked into the room and found Annabeth seating on her bed and reading the manga that Jupiter and Josephine brought here. They were sitting on the chair, eyes glued to volume 3 of Prince of Tennis, rereading it.
I was using the computer to check on the company when Jason walked in. All changed in a grey polo shirt and jeans. I said, "How is the research for the new medicine coming on?"
Jason shrugged and answered, "Well, it's was going badly until I stepped in and did it by myself and please sis, don't ask your assistant Michael to manage the company again. His ability to do it is as good as Jupiter or Josephine ability to break their obsession to manga."
We ate out for lunch break in town. The same restaurant for dinner that I was queuing for when I ran off to kill the Level E. After that, we entered the Chairman's room when he was giving his 'marvellous' speech and they didn't notice us until after Yuuki gave her vouchers for shoulder massages and the slave coupon for Zero and they left the room. We gave him a round of applause for his 'pep talk'.
We informed him of our decision to enter the Night Class after St. Chocolates.
"You look suspicious of our sudden intentions in enter the Night Class. Don't worry, we would not do anything that you would need to worry about." I informed him.
Chairman looked at me and informed us that he will take care of our new uniforms and that we could go. We went back to our rooms for some rest. We went to the stables after that and we brought our horses out. Jupiter and Josephine had finally separated from their beloved manga and joined us.
Jason POV
I brought out my grey horse, Midnight, saddled and ready to the front of the stables and found my sister checking her bridle. My horse moved closer to my sister's horse and I followed.
We were conversing softly when all the rest of our party arrived. I explained the plan and we went off in pairs to ride. Michael and Annabeth were partnering one another and my assistants were together. Ruby and I rode off together and our horses cantered in sync with each other.
After an hour or so, we returned to the stables and we told our assistants that we were meeting Kuran Kaname next and asked them to help us wash down and stable our horses. We teleported right outside the Moon Dorm and went in.
Third person POV
"They're more energetic than usual" Ichijou said.
Just then, Jason and Ruby had to opened the door and walk in. Everyone in the Night Class Dorm jumped up and stared at Jason and Ruby with an unwelcoming aura.
Aidou asked "What are you doing here? You are not welcomed at the Night Class dorm."
"What I want to do is none of your business Aidou. I came here to see Kuran Kaname. Could you guide me to him?" Ruby said in a 'who cares what you think' attitude. Nobody responded or made a move and we wanted to walk to the staircase when he himself walked down the stairs .He walked to ask and questioned, "What do you want to tell me, Ruby-san? And you must be Jason-san."
Jason answered, "I am, and we wanted to tell you that our assistants and we are going to move into the Moon Dorm tomorrow, after lunch break. Please prepare our rooms. We'll need four rooms. And we wanted to tell you something too. And to spare us from some irritating eavesdroppers…" He had looked at Aidou when he mentioned the last part.
Kuran Kaname answered, "Of course, Jason-san."
"To save us the trouble, I will just erect a box around us." Ruby said. The box only prevents sound from exiting but otherwise it allows everything else in and out. By then, Michael, Annabeth, Jupiter and Josephine stepped into the room. Jupiter and Josephine managed to engage in a deep conversation of manga with Ichijou. Annabeth leaned on a wall and opened her novel. Aidou went up to Michael and started to voice some of his comments.
"Why are you here?"
Michael ignored Aidou.
"Are you a vampire?"
Ignored.
"What level are you?"
"…"
"What is Ruby's and Jason's real identity?"
"Will you shut it?" Michael calmly stated.
Aidou felt a shiver run down his spine. Although he knows that he was no longer in a good position, his curiosity got the better of him.
(A/N As expected of Aidou. I really think he does not have any self-preservation sense)
"Answer my question first! Why not?"
"Because I don't have a need to. And you're getting on my nerves." Michael's eyes flashed. And Aidou flew to the wall and slammed into it.
Aidou reappeared in front of Michael and tried to freeze his leg, the ice immediately turn into mist. The group in the Box turned around as they heard the commotion and Jason held his forehead and sighed. "Not again."
The box shattered when Ruby lost control of her anger. All the glass in the room shattered and everyone froze and even the heated argument turned cold. Jason had moaned "Don't sis, please don't. It will be a real mess."
"Just shut up." Ruby said coldly and turned towards Aidou and Michael "What do you think both of you are doing? Are powers allowed to be used in the Academy?" Power rippled from Ruby. Michael, who was the smarter one, kneed on the floor and begged for mercy. While Aidou acted like Ruby was no big deal and haughtily said, "Why must I?"
If just now Ruby was furious, now she was irate. "Well, let's see… What if I tell you this fact; I can kill you and Kaname cannot do anything about it."
Aidou breaks into laughter and replied "As if you are."
"Aidou, I think you better say sorry. I don't think she's joking" Ichijou ends with a nervous laugh.
Ruby appeared behind Aidou in a flash with Aidou frozen from leg up. "We'll see about that." Before looking at Kaname, "Kaname, We will take our leave now. I advise you to take your friends in hand."
Ruby and Jason then left the Moon Dorm with Annabeth and company following.
Ruby's POV
I wonder whether Aidou is stupid or what… But who says he isn't scared of me, he was shivering for goodness sake.
We walked out of the Moon Dorm's gate and everyone was suspicious of why we came out of there.
As if on cue, Zero had to come over and asked, or maybe ordered me to tell him the reason we came out from the Moon Dorm. I ignored him and my brother kindly answer "Oh... It is nothing, Zero-kun. You need not be so tense; we just went to discuss our transfer into the night class." Zero turned his back once Jason said 'transfer into Night Class'.
"What an interesting person, he is too one of us but he just refuses to admit it. Well but the time is near for the game to finish." I whispered to Jason.
"Hpm. The future days will not be as bright as these days anymore. Once again, the Kuran Clan will have to face the consequences of their own actions." Jason said in a monotone.
Ruby's POV
Next day
"Uhh…" Yuuki yawned as she finally woke up from her nap in class.
"Not enough sleep again?" Yori asked Yuuki.
"Y-yeah just a little…"
Yuuki and Yori continue having their little conversation about chocolates. After that Yuuki and Zero went for their prefect/guardian duties. My party went to our room to prepare to move to the Moon Dorm. Us girls were about to leave the room when we saw Ichijou and Kain coming towards the Dorm. Both bowed when they saw us and informed us that the Jason and the others are well taken care of already. When we reached the Moon Dorm, Kaname was there to greet us.
"You reached. I will guide you to your room myself, Ruby. Do you have any problem with that?" Kaname gently said.
"Actually, I would be very honoured to have you to guide me to my room and also Jason and I have something to ask you about."
Ruka glared at me when I walked up the stairs to the hallways of the room. I return her look with a typical pureblood façade, except that is my usual expressions. I followed Kaname who is in front and Ichijou followed me behind
"Would you give me a moment, Kaname and Ichijou? I need to call Jason to this room. 'Jason, can you come to my room now? We have something very important to discuss' Sorry, Kaname. I usually don't use that type of summoning since it is uncomfortable to many vampires. Did you feel a shiver down your spine, Ichijou?"
"Yep. I felt like death was approaching." Ichijou answered truthfully.
"Not surprising. The phrase 'whispering death' actually came from this skill. Jason, you are finally here." I said in a monotone.
"I will excuse myself, Kaname, Ruby-sama and Jason-sama"
"No need, you can stay."
"Kaname, I would like to have Jason and I passed off as your cousins. Also have our names changed to Ruby Kuran and Jason Kuran, can we?"
"It should be alright. And I guess you would want be to inform the Council that I have pureblood cousins."
"Yes, you know me so well, Kaname."
Ichijou cut in and stammered out "But Ruby-sama, you two don't look like Kurans."
You don't have to worry about that Ichijou. What about this?" A warm white light engulfed Jason and I, and once it faded both of us have the signature wine-coloured eyes like the Kurans have. Since our hair is already dark brown, it required no change.
"Surprised Ichijou? Our disguises are perfect even to the point of the smell of our blood. I bet if I cut myself, I would smell like the Kurans. This is what we silver-bloods can do." Ichijou was so shell-shocked that his legs folded.
"Now that you know. I will have you swear on your life that you will not tell unless given permission by Jason or me. If not, I will have you killed right about now." My eyes glowed silver and Ichijou cowered and complied.
"I, Ichijou Takuma, swear upon my life that I will not tell unless given permission by Ruby-sama or Jason-sama." The sign shined was branded onto Ichijou's neck to show that his oath was accepted.
"Ruby, I will leave first as I have things to attend to. Ichijou follow me." Kaname informed be before opening the door and leaving with Ichijou following him behind.
"Hey, sis what are you going to wear?"
"Not sure… Should I wear day class or night class uniform?"
"Day class. Then when we appear tomorrow in the Night Class everyone would be surprised. Anyway from now on, we would be in this form, won't we?"
"Yea, I wish we can be in our true form since it has been such a long time." I said.
3rd person POV
As Ruby and Jason headed back to their room to bring out the chocolate, Jupiter had headed for Ichijou room to lend him the manga that he had promised the day before.
He was leaving the room when he saw Jason walk in and he said in shock, "What are you doing here?"
Jason murmured, "Delivering chocolates to the Night Class."
Jupiter whispered back, "Oh, do I get one to?"
Jason shrugged and said, "Maybe." And walked off to give out more chocolates.
After 1 hour of giving out chocolates, Ruby and Jason headed back to their rooms. It was time for the Night Class to exit their dorm. They saw a lot of gates with names written on top of them. All the Day Class girls shrilled, Yuuki held up a yellow card to warn the Day Class not to break the fence like a referee of a soccer game.
Then she explained the rules to the Night Class and Aidou said, "Oh, looks like fun." He started to head to his gate before Yuuki's whistle was blown and Ruby said, "Aidou. Behave yourself. Understand?"
"Yes, Ruby-sama" He replied politely.
"Arigato, Ruby." Yuuki thanked Ruby. She ran off and said, "Well then, let's begin!" She then blew her whistle.
Then the Night Class students headed for their respective gates, the six of them headed for the classrooms, not interested in the festival.
A Day Class girl, who was running towards Kain's gate, had tripped on a stone and fell down. Jason, being the gentleman he was detached himself from the group and ran over to the girl. He held out his hand and helped the girl up. Being charmed, the girl forgot that the chocolates in her hand were for Kain and gave it to Jason. Jason took it and softly said "Thank you very much." And walked back to rejoin the group.
"You know you don't have to do that, Jason. Humans are very weak creatures that can be easily attracted to us so we don't even have to put in much effort for them to 'love' us." Ruby chided.
"Yup, they actually made us into myths. I still can't get over how forgetful they are of the past." With that they quickly made their way up to their classroom before the Day Class students realised that they had joined the night class.
Currently, Yuuki was holding back a group of girls who were trying desperately to get the attention of their idol. At that time, Kaname walked past her and told her not to get hurt, Yuuki lost in her thoughts, she fell down and lost hold of her chocolate. Zero picked it up and threw it towards Kaname, Kaname looked at Yuuki and "I'll take it. Thank you, Yuuki."
Kaname walked towards the classroom and after being out of earshot of the humans. Seiren asked "Kaname-sama. Do those bother you? I'll help you hold them." Kaname handed over all the other boxes of chocolates to Seiren and murmured "This will be fine. This is the only one I want" while taking in Yuuki's scent from her box of chocolate with a light smile on his face.
Ruby POV
Ichijou who sat in front of me was happily reading all the love confession letters while everyone else happily staring into their own books or space.
Where did Aidou and co. go to? I bet they are creating trouble again.
I was about to ask Kaname when he himself looked up and finally realised that Aidou and co. was not in class and asked Ichijou where were they. "Kaname, I can go and help take a look at where Aidou and the others are at."
I stood up and left the class with just one goal: to stretch myself while looking for Aidou. I spotted Aidou and the other missing students cornering with Zero dangerously pointing the Bloody Rose at them. I thought that nothing would happen until Kain was flipped onto the floor. I used my powers to melt away the ice and do away with the fire before walking calmly towards the now agitated group.
"Will you keep your gun, Kiriyu?" I asked him as I walked towards them. Zero stubbornly stared at me and even pointed the gun at me.
"Why not you try to shot me, Kiriyu? I had warned you before didn't I?" I told him as I switched my attention to the Night Class students.
"Aidou, Kain, Ruka, Rima, Shiki. Can I ask why are you doing here?"
"Ruby-sama, we came here to settle some personal issues." Kain answered
"Ahh… then may I know this particular issue that includes a vampire hunter, Aidou? Because that gun can kill you." I said coldly.
"I just could not stand Kiriyu being rude to Kaname-sama." Aidou defended his actions.
"I don't think Kaname would be happy for you to cause trouble so can I have you return to class?" My eyes flashed silver to emphasize my point.
"Yes, Ruby-sama." With that, all the night class students turned around and head back to class.
Zero roughly said "Who said you can go?" Everyone stop in their movement and turned to face Zero.
"Kiriyu, it would be better if we end this now. No one will be better off with a fight." I guess because of my sentence, Zero's temper got the better of him and he fired a shot towards me. Everyone froze as the bullet continued its course aimed towards my heart. I appeared behind Kiriyu, held up the bullet that he shot towards me and took his hand and place the bullet into his hand. "I warned you, and you would not listen. I hope you will take this as a lesson learned. If this happens again, I don't think I would be so lenient towards you." Everyone unfroze at my sentence and continue to make their way back to class.
I was walking back to class when Yuuki appeared. I heard her asking some questions towards Zero. I walked into the classroom as Kain, Aidou, Ruka, Rima and Shiki was being punished. Ichijou concluded it and said, "Kiryuu-kun, I wonder if there's something that hurt his feelings."
Kaname answer, "It can't be helped…for now. Because four years ago, after that incident his life changed."
I walked next to Jason and sat down next to him. He gave a knowing smile and said, "Went to solve some matters, Lucky you did, Kaname was getting really angry." I nodded and took out my notebook to make notes as the lesson started. Aidou and Kain rushed out during the break between lessons and I guessed that they were skipping the rest of their classes. Seiren also left then, though I knew that it was for some of Kaname's assignments.
Jason leaned towards me during a lesson and asked, "Have you tried drinking the blood tablets, they tasted horrible," He shuddered and continued, "and that's the 2nd edition, I hope that if there's a 3rd edition, it will at least taste better than now." I laughed and said, "You also noticed it, I really can't stand it."
After a few hours, we headed back for the Moon Dorm. As the rest of the Night Class went back to their rooms, Kaname came forward to thank me for interrupting a commotion that was starting to heat up between Kain and his friends and Zero.
I answered, "Just helping. And to remind you, Kiriyu's body is rejecting the blood tablets already." And I headed for my room for my sleep through the day.
