"You arrived." A velvety voice spoke. We all turned around and standing at the top of the staircase was a tall male with dark brown hair and wine coloured eyes. He had that almighty aura around him and as he stepped down the stairs one by one, I soon realized it was Kuran Kaname, the famous pureblood. I bowed down respectfully once he had come to a stop in front of me. "It's a pleasure to finally be at your presence lord Kaname-sama." I said politely. "Welcome to Cross academy Ayame, I'm sure that our vice president Ichijo had already introduced you to everyone." Kaname said, as I raised my head. His voice had held a hint of amusement and he was using first name base. I didn't know what it was—but it somehow it gave me shivers as I thought more about it. "Kaname-sama is our Moon dorm president, so if there's anything you need you can talk to either me or Kaname. Did you want to put your bags in your room before leaving to class?" Ichijo asked me. I nodded my head and Ichijo smiled. "I'll show you your room then. We do have time before class I believe."
Ichijo took my luggage for me and started walking up the stairs as I followed after; we went through several corridors before reaching my dorm. "Since we have an odd number of students now you would be having this room to yourself, you don't mind do you?" Ichijo asked opening the door for me to walk in. I shook my head. "No it's alright, I don't mind either way." I explained before stepping in. The room was larger than I expected, the walls were a white blue color, a large brown rug lay upon a dark brown carpet, there were two beds covered in silky white sheets with elegant drapes, two carved wooden desks, closet, three velvet couches, a book shelf and a chandelier in the center of the ceiling. I noticed from the large window that my room had the view of the woods. It wasn't much to see, but it wasn't like I was going to have my drapes open. "Once you're done changing into your uniform, come downstairs. We'll be waiting for you." Ichijo smiled as he placed my luggage down. "Thanks Ichijo." I said as he left, closing the door behind him. My uniform was placed on one of the beds neatly. The Night class's uniform was white, with black designs. It was like the opposite for the Day class's uniform. Quickly changing into my uniform, I remembered the little black box that the headmaster had given me. I took out the box and placed it on the bedside table before leaving to the main area of the Moon dorms.
When I had reached downstairs, everyone was waiting for me and was ready to go. Kaname smiled slightly towards me before leading the rest of the Night class outside. From the corner of my eye, I saw Shiki's burning gaze, but he turned his head quickly leaving me thinking that I had imagined it. Right when my foot had come to contact with the pavement, I was greeted with glass shattering screams of very excited Day class girls. It was a sea of jumping black uniforms from each side. The very sight had taken me back, and so I had jumped when I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders and pull me to the side of their body. Looking up, it was Aidou who winked at me. "Stay close to me or else you would be gobbled up by the crowd." Blinking in confusion, I followed Aidou as he led me in the direction of the main building where classes were held. "Who's the girl that Aidou is holding?" "Is she a new Night class student?" "Wahhhhh so pretty~" I heard the some of the Day class students whisper as me and Aidou walked by. "Hello my lovely ladies, this is my girlfriend." Aidou introduced as he winked my way. My eyes widened as many more of the girls shouted. "Aidou, it's rude to be playing with our new student like that." Ichijo said coming to my side. I smiled at Ichijo's kindness as he gently pulled me away from Aidou's hold. Aidou pouted, as he walked beside me with Ichijo. I noticed Yuki off to the side trying to fight back the screaming girls from getting any closer while Zero was standing calmly with the frightened girls who were being glared at. "Thanks Yuki." I simply smiled as I passed her. Yuki gave a laugh as she sweat dropped, but her eyes kept on glancing at Kaname who was at the front. I looked back to see Akatsuki walking alongside with Ruka making small talk and Rima with Shiki. I felt my stomach drop, and I looked away with a slight frown on my face.
"Oh, who is that walking behind Kaname-sama?" I asked Ichijo when I noticed the purple haired girl from upfront. "That's Seiren. I forgot to introduce you to her but don't worry about it, she's also in our class." Ichijo smiled. I nodded my head in understanding, although it didn't really matter to me; I just wanted a quick distraction away from Shiki. Either way my mind still drifted towards it.
As I began to ponder more deeply, a buzz of images flashed across my mind. It was like a jolt had run through my body. I saw broken furniture, shattered glass, and someone was raging with hate. The woman's eyes were burning with anger, but it looked all too familiar. As the face was starting to become clearer, I came back to my senses when I felt a hand encircle my waist. I looked up in a panic to see Aidou with a surprised expression. "You okay?" He asked. I must have looked quite shaken to even have the Day class girls who were shouting earlier to become silent. I couldn't speak, it was a sudden jolt to my body then the energy sucked out the next. I flinched when Ichijo had lightly touched my shoulder. "Did something happen? Maybe we should take you back." He said frowning at my state. Yuki who had noticed the situation jogged towards us looking concern. "What's going on?" She asked looking towards me. I shook my head. "N-no I'm fine now." I said. Everyone still held their stiff expressions, but soon gave in when I had finally forced myself to stop shaking. "If you're feeling unwell in class, you can always get someone to escort you to the nurse's office." Ichijo said giving me a reassuring smile to lighten up the atmosphere.
The walk from then on to our designated class, I had Ichijo walk with me with his arm around my shoulders to keep me steady. Once I looked back to Shiki, he was gazing straight at me with his usual expressionless mask. The staring continued on until we had all sat down in our class. Our teacher was a tall vampire hunter, with dark purple hair, an eye patch over his right eye and a cold looking face. I was glad he hadn't call out on anyone since I hadn't paid attention at all in his class. I couldn't take my mind off of what happened earlier. I'm having memory flashes again, which means I will be greeted with those nightmares starting today once again.
"Ayame? Ayameeeee?" A voice calling out my name snapped me back from my thoughts. "Aidou-senpai." I gasp, taken back by the closeness his face was from mine. Everyone else had left and only me and a few others such as Ichijo, Shiki and Aidou and Kain. I guess the four were waiting for me. "It's alright if I call you by your first name right? Geez, if you hadn't stopped dazing off I would've done something." He winked. "Aidou, stop teasing Ayame." Ichijo said as he appeared behind Aidou. "Ehhhh but she's so cute!" Aidou laughed throwing his hands behind his head. "Kaname might get irritated if you keep on flirting with the new student, Aidou." Kain sighed as he ran his fingers through his 'Wild' hair as his fans called it. "I'm tired." Shiki said as he cut his way through the four of us. "Shiki's right, we should head back to the dorms, the sun is just about to rise. And I'm pretty sure everyone else is already in bed." Ichijo smiled as we all left our classroom.
Ichijo was right; no one was present at the main area of the dorms. "Looks like everyone is asleep like I said." Ichijo chuckled. "We should get some rest as well, Ayame do you want me to show you your room again?" He asked. "No, I'll be alright." I said thanking the emerald eyed blonde. Ichijo smiled and proceeded upstairs while Aidou and his cousin did the same, leaving me and Shiki still standing at the area. "Ayame." My heart jumped hearing Shiki's soft voice call out my name. He hadn't spoken a word to me since I've arrived, I wouldn't have been surprised if he had forgotten my name or even me that is. "Yes?" I asked nearly stuttering. "Are you getting nightmares again?" He asked his expression less face holding a slight frown.
