Hi I'm so sorry that I needed so long, but I just had a writer's block. I hope you enjoy my next chapter! :)
Chapter 6 Escape
All attention was now on Kaname, as he stood there under the tree with a dangerous aura surrounding him.
Behind him stood zero, who glared at the man, which stood still in front of me with his hand raised. You could feel the tension in the air.
"Ah Kaname-kun! It's so nice of you to join us!" , said the Chairman cheerfully. He tried to defuse the situation.
I looked confused at the chairman. Could the man not see the dark aura surrounding my brother?
I thought that Kaname would snap back at the chairman, but to my surprise Kaname bowed.
"Headmaster, you requested my presence.", stated Kaname. Nobody needed to hear the demand to explain the situation. Now!
The headmaster looked at me with a worried expression and then turned around and opened his mouth to speak. But….."No!"
Everybody looked at me, but I didn't care. He couldn't tell him. When he knows what they did to me…. No he can't know!
Kaname looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"Then perhaps you would like to explain the situation." And this time everyone could hear the threat clearly in his voice. I shrunk back and looked at the ground. How could I explain this to him?
I was so scared that he would hate me, that he would leave me alone again, that he would let them drag me back. No, I didn't want that, but I also don't want him to know what they have done to me.
And in my panic I decided to tell him not all but a bit of what they have done.
So I opened my mouth to answer him, but then someone beat me to it.
"Kaname-sama! We are just here to take him back. We didn't want him to cause you any trouble." Spoke Sakura and bowed to Kaname.
But all he did was look at her with an expressionless face.
I noticed how I slowly grew angry.
'Cause any trouble? Trouble, for him! How could she dare to say that! After all they have done to me!' I thought as I clenched my hands to fists.
Only my Brother seemed to notice, than he shot me a warning look.
But I had enough! I was not that helpless boy anymore.
I didn't want him to save me, so that he could decide what "the best" was for me again.
In the end it was not about me, but about him and what the best was for Yuki. How he could be happy with Yuki…..without me.
I glared at him and raised my chin defiantly. He noticed this and narrowed his eyes.
But I didn't care. Should he be angry at me! He has no right to be angry! I'm the one who should yell at him a nd beat the shit out of him, for what he put me through.
"Trouble? Why should I cause any trouble?" I asked with a dangerous calm voice and just a tiny bit sarcasm.
Suddenly all eyes were on me. But one murderous glare stood out the most.
My adoptive "Father" decided to interfere.
"Kaname-sama we just wanted to take him home. He has a bit of a rebellious phase at the moment and decided to just run away. We are really sorry if he caused you any trouble." , said he and bowed respectively to Kaname.
I gritted my teeth. What an asshole.
I wanted to open my mouth and give him a piece of my mind, but he just gave me a cold stare that held a clear warning.
I gulped and bowed my head, so that my bangs covered my eyes.
I knew what he would do if I didn't shut up now and I couldn't risk it that he blurted it all out to my brother.
I could feel the stare of my brother but I kept my head down.
"It is no problem. He didn't cause any trouble. But I would like to know why he did decide to leave his home." ,said my brother in an even voice.
The word "home" raised my anger so much that I couldn't take it anymore.
My head shot up and I glared at him with so much anger.
"Don't you dare, to say that that hell hole is my HOME!" I yelled at him.
"But it's no surprise that you don't care enough to check on me. You are such an arrogant, self-centered asshole! ,I said with venom dripping from every word.
I heard Yuki gasp and Cross looked shocked at my outburst, but I didn't care.
All I saw was my brother as he looked back at me.
If I didn't know him that well I would have missed his shock. But I could read it in his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?" ,he asked calmly, but I could hear the concern in his voice.
But I choose not to answer him. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.
The air was tense with anticipation.
"Nothing, he is just overreacting. There is nothing to worry about, Kaname-sama." ,said my panicked "mother".
He didn't even glance at her. His eyes didn't leave mine, they stared me down.
He took a step towards me as I didn't answer.
"Shin. What do you mean by that!" ,he spoke in a low, dangerous tone. Yuki and Zero threw him a confused look.
It send shivers down my back.
I couldn't look at him anymore, so I dropped my gaze to the ground. I couldn't do anything. I just stood there and looked at the ground.
The air grew tenser with my refusal to speak, but I couldn't bring myself to speak.
After all this shit, after all I have been put through, I couldn't let him know. Not him. It would be all for nothing.
So I decided to put my act together. I forced my lips to smile and looked up.
"Forgive me Kaname-sama. I seem to have lost my nerves for a second. It will not happen again. As my mother said, I was just overreacting." I said in a forced cheerful tone.
He looked at me with a calculating look and searched my face for any sign that I lied.
Apparently he didn't find anything, because he nodded at me and turned to the others.
How wrong I was.
"Shin will remain here, at the Academy grounds." ,Kaname stated with a final tone in his voice.
The Chairman just nodded. He seemed eerily serious.
I couldn't help but stare at him. What was he doing!
Now he turned to my "parents".
"You two can leave. For now." ,my brother said in an emotionless voice.
My "parents" looked unsure at each other, they had heard the threat in his voice.
In the end they bowed to Kaname, threw one final venom filled look at me and left the academy grounds. That wouldn't be the last time, I was sure of it. But for now I was relieved. I let out a sigh. 'Finally'
With them finally out of sight my brother threw me only a glance from the corner of his eyes but didn't say anything.
He just nodded at Cross and left.
Cross looked cheerfully at me and said "Welcome to Cross Academy".
How was it? Please review!
