Okay, we're going to leave our day class friends for a bit, and check in on the night class. =)
*Noon, at the moon dorms*
'We're here, Kaname.'
"They're here." He got up and opened the door.
Four girls and two boys walked in.
"Where's Manda?" Kaname asked.
One of the girls—the only one without any streaks in her hair—walked back to the doorway. "Manda," She called. "Manda, get in here, please."
A girl with blond streaks flitted in, reading a volume of Trinity Blood. "Ohh, but it's so nice out, Maddi!!"
"Nice??!" the other blond (streaked) girl exclaimed. She was about an inch shorter than Maddi and Manda. (About 5'9"—Maddi and Manda are 5'10")
"Yes, Massi, nice. I like the sunshine. It's warm."
"And bright!"
"And warm."
"Bright."
"Warm."
"Bright."
"Warm."
"Br—"
"Enough." The tallest girl said. She had blond streaks, too, but they were darker. She was about 5'11". She had her hand over Massi's mouth.
"Thanks, Missi." Maddi smiled softly at her sister.
"Kanameeeee!!" Manda squealed, running at him and throwing her arms around his neck.
He chuckled lightly. "Good to see you, too, Manda."
She grinned up at him. "We've all missed you, Kaname," she told him, then added in a whisper, "Maddi especially!"
"I heard that, Manda."
"Well, are you denying it??!"
Maddi laughed lightly. "No. I'm not denying it."
"Good! Cause then you'd be a LIAR!!" Manda laughed hyperly. (A/N well I don't know if that's an actual word, but I'm using it!! Lol)
"Manda, how much caffeine did you have?" Maddi asked.
"Ummm…. I had a cappuccino… and three Mountain Dews… and a Pepsi… and… I think that's it… No, wait; I had a Coke, too!"
"HOLY CRAP!!!!" Massi exclaimed. Missi was wiping her hand on Massi's sleeve in disgust—she'd licked her in order to get her to let go. (A/N ewww xD lol I do that all the time! Lol I also bite ^^" lol) "No wonder you're so hyper! How come she can have so much caffeine?" She asked Maddi.
"Because she's usually relatively calm. And you're… Not."
Massi pouted.
"Oh, yeah, that's the way to make her think you're mature." Missi said sarcastically, earning her a glare from Massi.
"Manda, isn't that the same book you were reading the last time I saw you?" Kaname asked.
She grinned at him. "It's my favorite!"
"You like any manga, Manda!" Massi grinned.
"Or anime!" Manda grinned back. "Besides, you like almost any animanga."
"I do have some standards when it comes to animanga."
"Yeah, one; It has to have cute guys in it!"
"Exactly!" They laughed. "Hey, Manda, doesn't that guy you met online go to Cross Academy?"
"You met a guy online?" Maddi asked.
"Yes, I did, and yes, he goes here. And I have an idea of who he is…" She glanced at Takuma.
"Really??!" Massi asked excitedly.
"Yes, really! But we'll have to wait and see."
"Aww! That sucks!" Massi complained.
Manda laughed. "Why are you so concerned, anyway?"
"Cause, you seemed to really like him! — I mean, if you told me about a guy, you have to like him at least a bit, right? – And it's not too often that you really like a guy."
"Yes, that's true… Hey, Mandi, aren't you going to say hi to Kana-chan?" she looked toward a girl in the corner. She was smaller than the rest of them; only about 5'6". You couldn't see much of her hair; she had her hood on— It was black with black and pink cat ears on it-- but what you could see was the same light brown as all her sisters', with reddish-brown streaks in it.
She waved to Kaname, but didn't say anything. Manda sighed.
"She's still not talking?" Kaname asked worriedly.
"No…"
He walked over to her. "Mandi, are you going to stay in the corner all day?"
She nodded.
"Now, why would you want to do that?"
She hesitated, then shrugged.
"Won't you come out and say hello?"
She hesitated again, then shook her head vigorously.
He sighed, then picked her up and carried her over to a couch, setting her down next to Shiki. She didn't react.
They all sat down on the couches; Manda next to Takuma, Massi next to Aido, Missi next to Kain, and Maddi next to Kaname. The taller of the two guys that had arrived sat on the other side of Maddi, while the other sat next to Mandi. They both had dark brown hair and blue eyes. The taller one's were a greenish blue, while the other's were a deep blue.
Maddi laid her head on Kaname's shoulder, a worried look on her face. He whispered something in her ear, and her expression relaxed slightly.
"What's going on?" A voice said from the stairs. Two girls walked down. One had orange-ish colored hair and deep blue eyes (A/N yes silly that's Rima! Lol) and the other had light brown hair and brown eyes.
"Rima, Ruka, these are the new students."
"Oh, hello," Ruka said.
Maddi smiled softly, Manda and Massi grinned and waved, Missi nodded, and Manda…. Didn't even acknowledge that they were there…
"'Sup?" The taller of the boys asked.
"Hey," the other one said.
"Jake speaks!" The taller boy said in mock shock. (A/N lol that rhymes xD lol sorry just ignore me, I hardly have anything important to say! ^^" )
"Will!" Maddi whacked him in the back of the head.
"What??! He never says anything!"
"Try following his example!"
"Hey—"
"Nice one, Maddi!" Manda laughed.
"They're not poisoned." A new female voice said, from the direction of Shiki and Mandi. Everyone looked at them in shock as Shiki took a stick of pocky from the box in Mandi's hand.
"Mandi—Did you just talk??!" Manda asked in shock.
"Yes." She said blankly.
Everyone was silent for a moment, then suddenly Manda squealed and pounced on Mandi.
"Mandi! You haven't talked in seven years!"
"… I know…"
"Why now?"
"… I dunno… I guess… I just finally had something to say… and someone I really wanted to say it to…"
"Well I'm glad!! I missed our conversations." She squeezed her sister.
"Manda… can't… breath!"
"Oops! Sorry!" she laughed. Mandi smiled lightly in return, hugging her nee-san.
"Maddi." Kaname said, sounding slightly amused.
"Hmm? Ohh, sorry." She said. ^^" She'd been gripping his hand pretty tightly.
"Manda?" Mandi asked, looking up at her.
"Hmm?"
"I missed talking to you, too."
Manda smiled softly and kissed Mandi's forehead.
"Good."
"Writing everything down gets really tiring after awhile!"
"I bet!"
"Mandi."
"Yes, Kaname?"
"Come here."
She walked over to him and crawled in his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him, kissed him on the cheek and grinned at him.
"Good to have ya back, kid."
She hopped off and sat back next to Shiki, smiling shyly at him. Manda returned to her seat next to Takuma.
"Hey!!" Massi yelled suddenly; Missi had taken her box of chocolate, which she had been eating on since she'd arrived.
"You don't need any more chocolate; you've almost finished the box!"
"Well, you don't need any more smokes, either!"
"I don't consume 4 boxes a day," She countered, blowing some smoke in Massi's face from her fag.
Massi scowled at her twin. Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand. She looked up to find Hanabusa looking at her. He jerked his head toward the staircase, then led her up and into his room.
He walked to his dresser, while she stood uncertainly in the doorway, and picked something up.
"Here," he walked over to her and handed her a chocolate.
She squealed and threw her arms around him. He chuckled. "Thanks!!" she took a bite out of it, and held onto his arm as they walked back downstairs.
"That's your room, by the way," He said, pointing to the door across from his on the way down.
She got questioning looks from her sisters as they sat down, but none of them said anything. Missi even let her eat several chocolate that Hanabusa gave her.
*an hour later*
They'd all been talking for about an hour, and most of them—all but Kaname, Maddi, Ruka, Rima, Will and Jake—seemed about to crash.
"Kaname, I think maybe we ought'a send all these little kids to bed," Maddi said, earning her a pillow to the face, courtesy of Manda."They look a little sleepy."
"Yes, I think you're right. Takuma, Shiki, take Manda and Mandi to their room; Hanabusa and Akatsuki, take Missi and Massi; Rima and Ruka, take Will and Jake."
They all did as he said.
"Your room has a window; Kaname-sama said you like the sunlight, Manda, and from what I gathered when you arrived, he was right." Takuma said.
"Yes, that's right. I love the sunshine; It's so warm and comfortable." They walked into the room, and Manda squealed, seeing that there was a big window on one side of the room. It overlooked a small garden; however, the garden was empty… strange… "Ohh, it's so beautiful!!" She ran over to it.
"You can have that side, then," Mandi said, sitting on the bed nearest the door.
"Works for me!!" She plopped down on the other bed, about half a foot from the window.
"If you need anything, we're right across the hall." Takuma said, walking into his and Shiki's room, followed by Shiki.
"Thanks!" Manda called after him.
"Sure!"
"He's so cute…" Manda giggled, leaning back on her bed.
"Takuma? I think he likes you."
"You think?"
"Totally."
"I think Shiki likes you." She looked over at Mandi and noticed her blushing faintly. She smiled. "You like him, don't you." It was more of a statement than a question.
"What??! No, no of course not! That's totally—I mean—well I—…okay, yeah… I guess… he is kinda cute…"
"You'd look so cute together!!" Manda said, laughing. "Oof—"Mandi threw a pillow at her face. "Hey!!" she laughed again, then threw the pillow back at Mandi. Pretty soon, there were pillows and feathers and stuffed animals flying all over the place. Takuma came in to see what the noise was about, and he got beamed in the face! Then Shiki got hit, when he came to see what happened to Takuma!
"Oops!" both girls laughed, going over to the doorway. The boys were laying on the hall floor.
"You okay?" Manda asked, grinning.
"Yeah, what was that all about?" Takuma asked.
"Ohh, nothing!" she grinned, glancing at Mandi, who was also grinning. "Just a little pillow fight! Quite common with girls, actually."
"Okay then. Good night." He smiled gently at her.
"Night!"
"Night…" Mandi smiled shyly at Shiki again.
"Night…" Manda noticed a faint blush on Shiki's cheeks. How cute!! She'd have to get them together!
Okay, I realize that, most likely, the girls' and boys' dorms are going to be separated, but… This works better for my story! So, if it bothers you, well, you're just going to have to live with it! =) lol
Also, Kaname will probably be a bit OOC in this story (and possibly some other characters, too) and i'm sorry if it bothers you, but it really helps my story... lol ^^"
Oh yeah, also, a fag also means a cigarette, not just a homosexual. Lol. Just so ya know! =)
Thanks to BloodLustLove (again. Lol) for all your support!! It's nice to know at least someone is reading this! =)
Please review!! =D
