Chapter 3

"I refuse," the bistre-headed girl stated.

"Anrui-chan," Yuuki said in a desperate voice as she tugged at her friend's sleeve, urging the girl to follow along.

"I simply refuse to go up the stairs," her matter-of-fact voice stated as Zero grunted in annoyance and anger, his silver eyes staring hard at the two females in front of him.

"We need to get to Headmaster Cross, he wants to see us," the chocolate haired girl softly said as she kneeled down and examined her best friend's ankle that was swollen red, looking like an angry hill. "And also get a pack of ice for that," gently pressing her index finger against the swollen limp, Yuuki's hand was squatted away as tears brimmed thistle eyes. "H-how many hormones can a girl possess?" Anrui's voice muttered as she swung her arm around the brown-eyed girl's shoulder, trying to lean and at the same time to not, fearing to be too much of a burden.

"Ume, get your ass moving so we can finish this meeting quickly," Zero's voice icily cut through the conversation as messy hair bounced off the girl's shoulder. "At least you don't have a broken ankle baka."

Without a word, the white-haired boy put his arm around the dark-haired girl's lean waist, ready to hoist her up but was stopped abruptly as her small hands gripped his large ones. "Iie! D-don't pick me up," her cheeks flared up a bit as the taller male let out a sigh of exhaustion.

"Why not,"

"'Cause, I'm heavy…" the last part was a squeak as Yuuki giggled slightly. No matter how much of a tomboy she is, she still got very feminine qualities. At this thought the light haired girl smiled at her dark-haired friend.

"That's all," Zero looked at her with raised eyebrows. "It's stupid."

"E-either way, just support me okay," pale fist met with broad shoulders as she huffed at a strand of loose hair falling into her large orbs. Without anymore comments but judgmental looks, the boy brought her body closer to his as he made sure to support all of her weight, letting as little pressure as possible befall on her ankle. She's light. The thought crossed his mind as he and Yuuki helped the girl up the two flight of stairs before the trio disappeared into headmaster Cross' office.

Shoving the door open, Yuuki half skipped half ran in as her step father greeted her with a warm smile. "Headmaster we're here!"

"Yuuki, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Daddy!" Tears started to flow down his smooth cheeks as his glasses fogged up causing Zero to momentarily lose grip on the pale girl as he flexed his fists, trying to contain all that annoyance building up.

"And you, Anrui-chan, what happened to you?" His face showed concern as he stood up from him chair and approached the thistle eyed girl. "Nothing much Kaien-san, just got a little bit distracted," she replied reassuringly as she tried to stand on her own, and successfully managing to do so as her mind screeched FUCK FUCK FUCKETY FUCK IT FUCKING HURTS FUCK! The cover-up was successful as the ochre haired man shrugged his shoulders and plopped himself down on his dark red arm chair, whistling softly.

"So what did you call us here for," a deep monotonous voice sounded from across the room as a pair of brown and thistle colored eyes diverted their attention to the silver haired male who was casually leaning against the door frame.

"Ah, that's right," Cross cleared his throat, "I just wanted to see if my dear Yuuki was doing well." Three pairs of eyes twitched simultaneously until Zero without a word slammed the door shut behind him so he could wander off somewhere to cool himself down, and mostly get away from the clingy and annoying man called Headmaster. As if on instinct, Yuuki immediately followed him as she yelped a "Zero!" leaving only the dark-haired girl alone in the awkward silence.

"That was, really, a stupid reason," Anrui reasoned as she scratched the back of her head, chuckling softly as the man in front of her huffed slightly. "You know I only do this to protect you three."

"I know, I know, and I'm sure so do the other two."

"Hm, of course," Cross placed his chin on his hands as he rested his elbows on the desk, the thin glasses slightly sliding off the bridge of his nose. "You should drop the formalities and call me Daddy too, Anrui-chan."

"We've been through this, no." Followed with a bunch of cries and protests, the girl simply shrugged and dragged herself out of the office. Not expecting anyone to be waiting for her, she smoothed out her uniform as she limped to the nurses office, curses flying here and there as she descended every step. Finally, as she arrived at the Day Class nurse office, a vintage sign hung from the door knob: Not on campus at the moment, see you tomorrow.

"What kind of nurse are you?!" Messy hair flew all over the place as the girl shook her fists at the door, shaking her head before dragging herself to the other nurse's office, the one on the Night Class campus.

Only able to walk to the square that was a new the entrance to the Night Class dormitories, Anrui slumped herself down before dunking her swollen ankle into the ice cold water. Mother of God. A small sigh escaped her lips as she took decided to splash some water onto her neck, cooling her down a bit. The coldness reminded her of snow as her mind went back to crimson red eyes in the midst of a bleached background.

Holding the red-eyed boy by the hand, the little girl marched along side him before the pair arrived at a small house. Knocking on the door, the pair was met with a man with his hair in a ponytail as a girl with chocolate strands clung onto his clothes before a smile broke out on her face as she saw her beloved savior, Kaname.

"Kaname-sama, I'm so glad to see you!" Her high voice warmed the boy's insides as he stepped inside the house, still holding a small porcelain hand in his marble one. "Yuuki, I've brought you a friend." With that said, Kaname nudged the messy haired girl towards Yuuki as both children stared at each other before the thistle-eyed girl broke out into a giggle. "Your eyes are like chocolate," at this comment, the lighter haired girl of the two smiled warmly as she took the latter by the hand, guiding her into the living room.

"What's your name?" Yuuki asked as she sat beside her new friend. "I-I don't know," with a frown, Yuuki thought for a while. "Hm, I was like that too," a small pause lingered in between the girls. "But don't worry, we'll figure something out!"

Light memories flooded the girl's mind as she smiled faintly, remembering her first encounter with Yuuki. A year later Zero also appeared at Kaien Cross' house, and that was how the trio met. She knew nothing of her past, the only clue that her family left her thin necklace with a single cross hanging on it, a microscopic sapphire stone in a shape of a spade embedded into the middle. The marking of the Ume family, but unfortunately it seemed like even their existence was whipped out of every record book along with Anrui's memories of them. The only thing that seemed to be burned into her mind was red eyes, and a mess of dark red hair.

Movement in the trees caught the girl's eyes as she groaned in annoyance, not ready to part with her relaxation yet. But oh well, reality was dope and cruel. Swinging her leg out of the fountain and feeling the swelling to be numbed, Anrui jogged towards the two shadows in the trees as she was met with two Day Class students holding cameras.

"Number one, you're not supposed to be here, and number two, get your asses home." Hormones these days….
