I do NOT own Vampire Knight!
Chapter 9:
I run into the living area in the Headmaster's place. Everyone's sitting on the couches.
"Did you guys miss me?" I ask, when they finally notice my presence. Yumi and Yuki walk over to me to hug me, then after, I get a slap from Yumi. Mood swings! I touch my stinging cheek, which still hurts from Rido's slaps.
"Yuri, where did you go?" Ichiru asks.
"I went to this very bad man's house. I almost had to marry him!" I exclaim, talking to him as one would talk to a child.
"You should stop treating him like a baby," Hanabusa says, scaring me.
"H-how long have you been here?" I ask him.
"The whole time. I'm in charge of watching over you, remember?" he tells me.
"You can forget that order," I tell him.
"I can't, Lord Kaname has given me a task, and I must do it." I look at him, and a thought comes to me.
"You can't disobey a pureblood, right?" I ask, a mischievous glint in my eyes.
"R-right...," he says hesitantly.
"Well, I am, unfortunately, Kaname's sister. I'm also a pureblood, so you must do as I say." I've got him now! I can see a battle going on inside of him.
"Okay," he starts after a long, awkward pause, "but I will still watch over you to make sure you're safe," he tells me.
"Okay!" I salute him. He backs out of the doorway.
"What was that about?" Yuki asks, reminding me that Hanabusa and I weren't the only ones in this room. Hearing another's voice makes me jump.
"Oh, because of... all that happened today, Kaname assigned someone to watch over each of us. Yuki and Yumi, you both got lucky. You're with your boyfriends." They stare at me blankly. "You know, Zero and Takuma."
"Ohh," they say in unison.
"Well, I'm going to bed," I say, skipping down the hall. As would be expected, I have a nightmare about Rido and wake up screaming. In it, he was just about to kiss me.
"What's wrong?"
I scream.
"What?" the voice asks again.
"Ichiru?" I ask.
"Yes, now what's the matter?"
"Uh, when did you come in here?" I ask my "brother" who is lying in my bed.
"A little after you fell asleep," he says cheerfully. I lay back down, not wanting to answer him about why I woke up screaming. He wraps his arm around me in a hug and whispers in my ear.
"Good night... Shorty." He starts fake snoring.
"I know you're awake, now get your arm off of me!" I tell him, trying to lift his arm off me. He moves it off, and I get up to sleep on the couch.
I walk out into the living area and see Hanabusa, Zero, and Takuma sitting on the couch, along with the Headmaster. I grab a small blanket and lay on an open spot. I can feel the four pairs of eyes on me.
"Yuri, go to bed." Zero tells me.
"Ichiru took over my bed. You guys can continue, I don't care," I tell them all. I put my head down on the armrest.
"Okay, let's just continue," the Headmaster says. Even though I'm trying to sleep, I can still hear what they're talking about.
"Why is Kuran making us do this?" Zero asks, sounding mad.
"He feels that the girls should be protected, and watched over," the Headmaster says, trying to keep the peace. I sit up.
"We can watch ourselves." I say defiantly. Everyone looks at me.
"You can, but Kaname wants you to have protection too," Takuma tells me, a small smile on his lips.
"I'll stick with Yumi, and you know, she has a lot of weapons," I say, making a face hard to explain. Hanabusa sighs.
"I'll take you to Lord Kaname," he says, standing up. He walks over to the door and opens it. I rush over and take it from him, letting him go through. He tries to have me go first, like a lady, but I couldn't care less about that stuff. Finally I just push him out, shutting the door behind me.
Hanabusa stumbles to stand up, while I skip down the steps. I turn around.
"You coming?" I ask him. He mutters something under his breath and walks up beside me. "Hey mister,
you're the one that wanted to take me," I tell him.
"Yeah, yeah." I think I'm getting under his skin. I shut up the rest of the walk. When the Moon Dorm comes into view, I run ahead.
"Wait! Yuri!" Hanabusa calls out to me. I skip up the steps and open the door. I go to run inside, but I run into someone. I look up and see Senri.
"Hey Senri!" I say. He looks at me. "Do you want to go somewhere with me tomorrow?" I ask him.
"Why not," he says, continuing on his path.
"See ya!" I say. I hop up the stairs and I hear Hanabusa following me. I turn around.
"Where's Kaname's room?" I ask.
"Follow me," he says, walking in front of me. I grab his arm, and hop in front, trying to pull him.
"Go faster! I want my freedom!" I whine. He walks slower, and I fall backwards. He catches me.
"Thanks," I mumble.
"We're here," he says. I push open the door. It makes a loud creaking noise. Kaname looks over at the intruders of his room from his place on a couch.
"Hello... Yuri." I don't bother to say 'Hello' back, and I march up to him.
"I don't want Hanabusa to watch over me," I tell him bluntly. He stares at me for a long moment. He sighs.
"Fine." Hanabusa looks shocked at how easily I got Kaname to do what I want. To be honest, I thought I would have to put up much more of a fight.
"Well. That was easy," I say when we're on our way down the stairs. I see Takuma walking the opposite way. He stops us.
"Would you like to attend my birthday party Yuri?" he asked me. What about Hanabusa? He must've already invited him, or he didn't want him there.
"Uh, sure. Are my sisters invited?" I ask, hoping he'd invite Yumi, his girlfriend.
"Yes. It's tomorrow," he tells me.
"Where is it?" I ask.
"I'll have Kain and Aido escort you."
"Ugh. Why him?" I ask, pointing to Hanabusa. Takuma chuckles a little and walks away. I turn to Hanabusa.
"Well, this is your dorm, so you might as well stay here. See ya later," I tell him, taking off towards the door.
"Wait!" he says. I stare at him. "What kind of man would I be if I let a fair lady walk by herself at night?"
"Uhhh..." I back out and slam the door. I start running thinking 'haha sucker!' I don't know why he wanted to walk with me. I yawn, and a bug flies into my mouth.
"Ew! Gross!" I say, spitting it out. I wipe my tongue with my hands.
Haha, I hope you like it! Please review! :)
