-Nora?
I slowly opened my eyes. It was dark. I blinked. There was a person in front of me.
-Nora!
She said. She wore a kimono. A green one. Long, purple scarf was around her waste. I couldn't see the end of it. The same bandana was around her arms like a chain tied up to the floor. She had long tirqize-blue hair that sparkled. Though her eyes were the amazing part. They shone pure a blood-red color.
-Nora!
She said again, her voice worried.
-Yeah?
I said. My torath was sore. I couldn't hear my voice in the end.
-Thank god.
She said with relief.
-I was worried. You were really pale. I tried my best to heal you. Though your body still has some injuries.
-Oh.
-I'm sorry. I didn't say who I am. My name is Kirei. Your banshee side.
-Um…
-Are you feeling better?
-Yeah. But, what happened?
-I tried my best to contact you. That boy, Aidou, he broke the seal. Now, you have banshee powers.
-Oh.
-Nora! Wake up! Nora.
I turned around.
-I'm afraid we don't have more time.
I looked at Kirei.
-Don't trust anyone, Nora! Not even your closest person. Until the cat-demon is back in it's stone. I don't know who will try to kill you and who will try to help you, ok?
-Ok.
-Now you have to wake up!
I fell down and down and down. It was like a hole with no bottom.
-Nora!
I opened my eyes. White, white, white, blond? Everything was blurry.
-Nora?
I heard the door open.
-Will you stop that! It's not like she can hear you! The doctor said her chances of surviving are slim! It was a vital organ!
That's… Dimitry's voice?
-You are saying that like you don't care if she dies or lives!
And… Aidou? I opened my eyes again. Now it was less blurry. I could se that Dimitry pinned Aidou to the wall and was holding his collar. Not good!
-Don't you dare say that I don't care about her.
He said in a low tone. I could see his eyes were blood-red.
-You two are soooo noisy you could wake a dead man!
Hey turned to see me sitting up in my bed.
-Nora!
They both yelled and hugged me from each side.
-Sheesh! Let go. It hurts!
-Sorry.
They let go of me.
-Stop copying me!
-Stop it already!
I raised my eyebrow.
-Since when are you two getting along?
-Your not helping here exactly!
-Who said I should help?
Dimitry sweat dropped. I slowly got out of my bed.
-Don't, Nora! You can't stand yet!
-Yeah, sure.
I pulled out the I.V.
-I have to see Kaname, now.
-I think he went to sleep.
-Yes, he was here for 3 days without sleeping..
-Really?
-Yeah.
-I thought he cared only about Yuuki.
-Ah, right. So where is he? And where am I?
-You are in Sun Dorm and he is in his room. But, you can't leave!
I looked at them.
-Ok, I'm really, really sorry about this.
-Why do I have the feeling that something bad is about to happen?
-Illusion… release!
He room was totally black now. I vanished leaving them in total darkness.
-What happened?
-It's just an illusion. We have to get out of here.
*You are not going anywhere*
they turned around to see a very angry-looking Starlight. She opened her mouth and sent some flames in their direction.
*Moon Dorm*
I walked, fully dressed now, towards Kaname's room. I entered without knocking. He didn't seem surprised. I went up to his desk and slammed my hands onto it.
-Just how long are you going to sit there doing nothing? I know that you know the truth! Tell me everything!
He smiled.
-You sure are similar to Yuuki.
I turned around showing him my back. In fact I was just hiding my tears.
-I want to know. I just don't get this stuff. Three books, the door, the key and the gatekeeper. What is that?
I faced him again. My eyes were full of tears threatening to be spilled. Why was I crying?
-it all started as a legend. But then immature kids thought it would be funny to make it
real.
He shot me a glance that openly blamed me. I smiled innocently.
-The first generation of the Three Travelers was born. They decided to save the banshee from their group by sealing away the cat-demon. Their bond was amazing. They traveled around the world and gathered all the magic spells and items that they needed for the ritual. By writing three books, they gave each one it's role. The key, the door and the gatekeeper. They managed to seal away the demon and save the banshee. That way they made the legend of the Sealed Beast true.
He paused as if not sure if he should continue or not. I was glad he talked but I wanted more info.
-Go on.
He threw a glance at me.
-The three friends died. Their final request was to continue passing the books trough the family line. Though, that started well, but in the end, all three of those books left the rightful hands and got lost. You, alongside Dimitry and Ricardo are the first true bonded person to hold the book in a long time. Your parents must've known that judging by your names.
I looked at him with a confused look.
-Names?
-The first travelers were Ricardo, Dimitry and Kirei.
-But I..
-Do you know what Kirei means?
-Beautiful?
-Well, your fathers sister, a pureblood vampire, was always called the most beautiful one. Her name was Eleonora. That is why your mother gave you that name. to pass the tradition, bur hide you from those who might harm you.
I smiled.
-My dad was a pureblood.
Kaname nodded.
-So I'm not a..
-You're a half-half. Just like Kirei. You are the perfect reincarnation.
I looked out trough the window. The sun was setting. I ditched classes again.
-Thank god that the break is near.
Kaname flinched.
*The end of the year. Well, I better ask her.*
-Nora, are you with Dimitry.
I looked at him with curiosity.
-Why do you ask?
-I asked first.
I pouted.
-Not quite, he didn't ask me anything, but he acts like I'm his.
-And what would you say if he asked you?
I grinned.
-My question first.
He smiled.
-Curiosity.
-I don't know. Probably, yes. I mean, I don't want to hurt his feelings.
-There is someone else that you like?
I nodded. He flinched again. I smiled not noticing his despair.
-Well, I have to go and set Dimitry and Aidou free so, cya.
He smiled when I closed the door.
*I told them not to stop her from coming here.*
