Arisu got up and dressed, ready to go greet Kaname and the others. She ran out and met Yuuki and Zero by the gates. A smile cracked on her face when she saw Kaname leave the car.
The group walked through the gates and towards the stairs. Arisu ran up to the group, "welcome back everyone!"
Kaname smiled at her, "thank you." He walked up to her, holding something out to her. "Here, it's a rare rose encased in resin. It only blooms once every ten years."
Arisu's eyes widened for a moment; she remembered something from long ago. She watched as Kaname approached Yuuki with her gift. She didn't seem fazed, at his words. Things were safe; for the time being. She clutched her gift close to her heart as she watched them.
"I know you aren't speaking to me Yuuki; but I got you a box of chocolates. I know how much you love food: think of it as a peace offering."
Yuuki looked happy and confused at the same time. Kaname then turned to Zero, "and I got a life-sized voodoo doll for you Zero."
"No thank you!" Zero responded sharply.
Yuuki turned to look at Kaname, who had started his way deeper into campus. "Kaname, wait. I'd like to talk to you later, if I could."
"Just the two of us?" Kaname inquired.
"Yes."
"Alright then, I'll see you tonight." Kaname lead the Night Class back to the dorm.
Arisu followed Kaname to his room. Aido was waiting nearby. "Welcome back, Lord Kaname."
"Thank you Hanabusa; and thank you for the use of your villa." He lead Arisu into his room and shut the door; leaving Aido out in the hall.
Arisu waited until Aido walked farther down the hall before speaking. "What's going on?"
"Please, for your own safety; don't get involved."
"A…alright…" she agreed. Kaname had to have his reasons for not telling her what was going on. She put her trust in him as she returned to her room. As she entered her bedroom she noticed that everything was fixed. She didn't make a second thought and lied back on her bed.
Arisu watched the light play on the top of her four-poster bed. Sleep was evading her once again. Night fell, and yet she made no motion to get off of her bed. Her body shook uncontrollably as fear struck through her again. She tried, and was successful this time in keeping her powers in check.
She would have to tell Kaname. She sensed him return to his room; and was about to go and talk. Someone else approaching the Moon Dorm caught her attention. She went to the doors and opened them to reveal Zero.
"Why are you here?"
"I want to talk to Kaname." He said plainly.
Arisu led up silently to Kaname's room. She knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Arisu opened the door and entered, followed by Zero. He closed the door behind him, cutting off her escape.
"I want the truth; did you erase Yuuki's memories?" Zero questioned him. "Answer me! Did you have something to do with Yuuki's past or didn't you?" He turned to Arisu, "and what about you? Do you have no desire to elevate her fears?"
Kaname's hand reached his face, blocking half of it from view, "so, should I destroy one of Yuuki's fears right now? One less problem?" He suddenly reached out and grabbed Zero by the throat and pushed him into a nearby wall.
In the same instant, Zero drew and fired his gun at Kaname, grazing his head.
"Kaname? Zero?" Arisu shouted as she was at the side of the two in the next instant.
"Do it," Zero said, completely serious, "I can probably get a shot off at the same time."
Kaname forced him deeper into the wall, "look at you; your quite the anomaly. Usually vampires should fear and respect purebloods. And yet you bear your fangs without reserve. I really do…hate you."
Arisu grabbed at Kaname's arm, attempting to pull it off of Zero. "Wait Kaname…if you hurt him; you'll hurt Yuuki." She managed to separate the two vampires. "The Night Class is bound to have smelled Kaname's blood already; you better get out of here Zero."
Arisu turned to watch Zero jump from the window effortlessly. She turned around to Kaname; blood was rolling down his face from his wound. Her eyes glowed red at the scent of his blood.
Her body started shaking uncontrollably; the fear was threatening to overtake her again.
Kaname walked over to her and held onto her tightly.
Her body stopped shaking, she was back in control. "What's happening? What's going to happen?" Her body started shaking for a different reason; she was holding back tears. "Yuuki…something is going on. I keep getting these...weird feeling from her."
"She's trying to remember her past. She'll either go mad; or awaken as a vampire. Mother's sacrifice to make Yuuki human, wasn't strong enough." His grip on her tightened, "twin vampires have never been born before; so this is all new territory. The both of you make things…unpredictable."
He released her and took a step back. Her hand immediately flew to her burning throat. The smell of blood was starting to get to her; she was craving it worse than ever.
"Drink." He knelt before her, "it's the least I can do."
"No…biting isn't allowed." Arisu bent down towards his face. She watched him close his eyes as she licked the fresh blood from his face. She was hurt at his reaction. She stopped, "I know I'm not Yuuki but…I do love you."
Before he could stop her, she left his room and entered her own. She locked the door to her bedroom as she flopped down onto her bed. She was acting so childish, but at the moment she didn't care. She ignored the pain in her throat as she watched the darkness of the night lighten into day.
