I do NOT own Vampire Knight!

Chapter 11:

"Hey Hanabusa, Akatsuki." I say to the two in front of Yumi and I. Akatsuki nods his head and Hanabusa smiles.

"Hi Yuri. Shall we go?" he asks. We nod our heads, and Akatsuki picks up Yumi. Hanabusa picks up me.

"Hey put us down!" I order. Yumi and I struggle to be put down, feeling awkward being carried.

"Stop moving so much." Hanabusa complains. "It's quicker. You walk slow."

"We can walk fast, you know." I tell him, glaring.

"Oh, but, we're already here." he says, putting me down. Really? It was about fifteen feet from where we were just standing. Vampires are weird... I know I'm one too, but. I'm weird also.

"Hi!" Takuma says. "Thank you for coming to my birthday party!" he says. "Yumi, for my present, I want you to kiss me." he states, blushing. He did not just say that! All conversations stop, and everyone is looking at the couple.

"No." she say angrily. Uh oh, she's mad. This won't be a fun night. For them...

I look around, trying to find something to focus on, besides my sister and her boyfriend. I see a ditch... and a stick. I walk over and pick up the stick. I notice some people averted their eyes from the feuding couple, to the girl poking the muddy water with a stick. That would be me.

I dig the stick under the surface of the mud, and lift. It flies all the way to the opposite end. Hanabusa comes over and stands next to where I'm sitting.

"Can I help you?" I ask, not looking up.

"What are you doing over here by yourself?" he asks.

"Not good in crowds. I'd much rather be by myself..." I hint.

"Oh." I look up to see him stareing at me. I feel nervous and I bit my lip, drawing blood.

"Hey," I say, putting my hand up to my mouth, "are these fangs? I didn't know I had any!" I lick the blood off of my mouth before anyone else smells it... I think Hanabusa did, because his eyes were now red in color. "You asked me what I'm doing over here, but what are you doing over here?"

"You seemed lonely..." he says.

"Aw, that's-"

"Hey guys." Yumi interupts. She looks sad. Or mad.

"What wrong?" I ask her.

"Nothing, I just feel like pushing someone into this ditch." she looks over at Hanabusa. "Can I?" she says, nodding her head towards him.

"Go ahead..." Hanabusa must not of heard, but when Yumi was walking over to him, he must've known something bad would happen... He tried to run away, but Yumi caught him. She whispers something in his ear, and he smiles.

"Really?" he asks her.

"No!" she says, giving him a hard push. He falls into the muddy water. She skips over to me. "I feel better." she states.

"What did you tell him?" I ask her.

"That you wanted to go on a date with him..." I slap her lightly.

"Hey Yumi! That's not fair!" Hanabusa yelled from his spot in the mud. I laugh. I put my feet in the water, and I walk over to him.

"Here." I say, extending my hand. He takes it and, blushing majorly, stands up.

"Thanks." he mumbles.

"No problem."

"But, now you're all dirty..."

"I wanted to come in here anyway!" I tell him, poking him in the arm.

"What's going on?" Takuma asks. He extends his arm for me to grab.

"Happy birthday!" I scream, pulling him in as well. Yumi laughs from her spot on the wooden bridge. "You're coming in too!" I tell her. She hops in and we start throwing mud at each other.

"Stop." Kaname says to us. We all look at him.

"We don't have to." I say, with a "teenage attitude". I scoop up some and throw it at his face. But I miss, and hit Ruka instead. She whips her head around, and Akatsuki face-palms himself.

"Hanabusa!" she screeches.

"Uh oh." he muttered. He hops out and starts running away from the very mad looking Ruka. "Ruka! Calm down." he says. She throws one of her shoes at his head. "Do you wish to die?" he asks her. She 'Hmph's and turns around.

I get out of the ditch.

"I'm going home." I say, walking away. Yumi gets out too.

"I'm leaving also." we walk back to our room. "Can you believe we'll be sixteen tomorrow Yuri?"

"I know! We should probably get some sleep. And by the way, good idea on not inviting the boys from the night class..." I smile and so does she. We turn off the light and fall asleep.

"Yumi, wake up." I tell my sleeping sister. She doesn't flinch. Okay. "Takuma is stareing into the window.." I lie. She hops out of bed.

"That little pervert!"

"Yumi! He's not really there, you just wouldn't wake up." she glares at me. "Happy birthday?" she smiles.

"Happy birthday." we walk out the door. "How are we going to hand out invitations?" Yumi asks.

"I gave the list to the Headmaster." I tell her. She makes a face and looks at me, as though I'm dumb.

"Why on Earth would you do that!" she yells at me.

"Because I couldn't trust Ichiru..." I say.

"Okay? Well, why not?" she asks.

"Remember at the Valentines Day dance? How everyone was paired up with who we thought they should be?" I ask her nervously.

"Yeah.." she says, looking at me quizically.

"Well, that's because I made the pairings." I say scratiching the back of my head. "And I kinda left Ichiru with the paper, and he paired me and Hanabusa... So that's why." I explain.

"Okay." she says.

"Okay?" I ask her.

"Yeah, I mean, Takuma and I are going out now, so, it doesn't matter." she tells me smiling. "But," she starts. What's she going to say? "why do call Aido, Hanabusa? You've always called him Aido."

"Uh..?" why do I? Oh! I remember! "When I was in Rido's place, I had a dream about him, and he told me to call him Hanabusa, so, I do that without realizing it." I tell her. Then I blush when I see her smiling at me. I had said that I had a dream about him, and I will never live it down.

"Okay." she tells me. "I was just wondering." we continue walking until we get to the trampoline. The place we're having our birthday party.

Headmaster Cross's P.O.V. (Flashback)

"Headmaster." one of my girls say. Why can't they call me father?

"Yes, dear?" I ask her. She hands me a sheet of paper. I take it from her and look it over. An..invite list?

"What's this for?" I ask her, still not knowing which one she is.

"Our birthday party. Please tell these people to come!" she says, hurrying out the door. I look at it again:

Ichiru, Yori, Zero

They forgot the Night Class. I'll just add them to the list!

Back to Yuri's P.O.V. (present time)

I sit on the trampoline, and Yumi and I wait for our guests to arrive. We didn't really invite that many people, but it doesn't matter.

"Happy birthday." Yuki's friend Yori says to us.

"Thanks." we say at them same time. She smiles at us.

"Hi guys! Am I late? Yuki asks.

"Uh, no." Yumi tells her.

"Good." she sighs.

"Yuri! Happy birfday shorty!" Ichiru tells me.

"Thanks, but don't call me short." I tell him. He and Zero also climb on. Everyone was here. At least, that's what we thought.

Yay! Birthday party! Woo! Please review what you think would be the best present for Aido to give to Yuri, or how you feel this story is going :)
