Chapter 8: Zero and Yuki learn about Beverly's past

Meanwhile, Kaien was working on some papers when Yuki and Zero came in looking a little upset. "Hello Yuki, Zero, What's the matter?" Headmaster Cross asks curiously. "We were just wondering why Beverly Robertson is with the Night Class instead of the Day Class," Yuki replies calmly.

"She's with them because Kaname Kuran wanted her to be," he replies simply. "But why?" Zero asks confused. "Simple: he thought that Beverly was lonely while she was in the Day Class so he figured that she would be happier if she was moved to a class that will make her feel at home," the Headmaster replies. "But Beverly's not a vampire," Yuki argues.

"Actually she is," Kaien corrects. At this, both Zero and Yuki looked at the Headmaster like he was crazy. "That can't be true otherwise I would have said something," Zero replies angrily. "Well you see, Zero, Beverly is actually a rare kind of vampire because she's fully human but she has some vampire attributes in her DNA," the Headmaster explains.

"If that's true then why was she place in the Day Class in the first place?" Yuki asks feeling more confused than before. It was then Kaien decided to tell his two guardians about Beverly's past just like Beverly told him.

Once he was done explaining, Yuki and Zero looked at him with sympathy and sadness in their eyes. "Wow, Beverly sure is strong to be able to go through something like that and still be able to smile," Zero comments softly. "She sure is," Yuki replies. "Well now that you know about her past, do you still want me to take her out of the Night Class?" the Headmaster asks curiously.

"No," both Yuki and Zero reply at the same time for they knew that taking Beverly out of the Night Class would be a bad idea. "Good now go back to your guardian duties," Kaien says with a soft smile. "Yes sir," the two guardians say as they leave the office and head back to what they were doing previously.

Meanwhile with the Night Class, everyone was enjoying some peace and quiet when they heard a soft sing:

Instrumental

Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby

Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay

And I'll you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow

Bless you with love for the road that you go

"Where's that beautiful singing coming from?" Aido ask curiously. "I don't know but I intend to find out," Ichijio replies confidently and with that, the vice president leaves the room not noticing the smile on Kaname's face. "Seems like my little one is attracting some attention to herself without even realizing it," Kaname thinks with a small chuckle.

Meanwhile, Ichijio was beginning to think that he was hearing things when heard the voice sing:

May you sail far to the far fields of fortune

With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet

And may you need never to banish misfortune

May you find kindness in all that you meet

Chorus:

May there always be angels to watch over you

To guide you each step of the way

To guard you and keep you safe from all harm

Loo-li, Loo-li, lai-lay

When the first chorus ended, Ichijio found himself standing in front of the music room door. "So the voice is coming from in here then," the vice president thinks as he slowly opens the door. Meanwhile inside, I was playing the piano with my eyes close and my mouth opened as I began to sing the next half of the song:

May you bring love and may you bring happiness

Be loved in return to the end of your days

Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you

I'll just sit for a while and sing "loo-li, lai-lay"

Chorus

Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay…

Once I was done singing and began to leave, I noticed that Ichijio had watched the rest of my performance. "Beverly…," Ichijio begins. "Yes," I reply simply. "That was incredible," he finishes with a smile. "Really?" I asked surprised. "Really," Ichijio replies with another smile on his face.

It was at that moment that Kaname came in with a smirk on his face. "It seems you have another fan of your singing, little one," Kaname comments as he walks towards me. "I guess so," I replied with a smile. "Wait a minute, you knew about Beverly's talent already, President Kuran?" the vice president asks surprised. "Of course I did after all I was the first person to hear her sing in the first place," the tall brunette male replies as he wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me towards him.

"I see," Ichijio says understanding and with that Kaname, Ichijio, and I headed back to the classroom to finish the rest of our lessons.
