I was able to gain admittance to Cross Academy, I submitted my forms and had an
interview with Kaname. At first when I showed up, he wasn't surprised to see me and he wasn't
too happy to see me, either. As I entered his room, I could feel his aura of negative energy. I
walked over to the chair that was available for me. He was standing near the window looking
out. He had a face that showed no certain emotion. I sat down, in my short, light blue flowery
dress and that's when our conversation started:
"Suki, why are you here?"
"To attend school. Why else?"
"Are you trying to cause trouble for me?"
"I'm telling the truth. Plus I've been in hiding for some time, I almost never leave except to
feed."
"I know. It took me forever to find your hiding place."
"You went hunting for me?"
"Don't call it hunting… call it searching for a lost friend."
"When was I ever lost… oh never mind. So tell me about this girl, Yuki is it?"
"Yuki? You have needn't worry about her. Nor should you speak of her again, for now."
That's when he turned toward me ever so slowly. His eyes had turned that blood-lusting
red, when he wants me to understand something. When he wants me to understand that I have a
future role to play in his "game". When I saw his eyes, I wasn't scared, but I knew then that what
I had said had meant something to him. So, I continued.
"Kaname, I know she has nothing to do with me, but why in the world, do you show your blood
lusting eyes, turn them back to normal, please."
"I know you know who Yuki really is. Correct?"
"I honestly don't know what you're talking about. Yuki is a sensitive subject I see. Let's just
finish the interview."
"Fine."
"Okay, now that, that's over. What else do you need to know about me?"
"I know everything about you… but the other students don't know you."
"So?"
"I want you to meet a friend of mine."
"Why?"
"Because he's going to help you settle in to the dorm."
"In other words?"
"I'm letting you stay… be grateful."
"Trust me! I am! Thank you, Kaname!"
"Just go, Suki."
"Well, aren't you Mr. Moody!"
"I've got a problem with a certain piece."
I looked at Kaname and calmed down. I knew what he was talking about. His life was
like a chess game. He was the king and everyone else was a piece in the game. I'm pretty sure I
was a new piece in his game whether I wanted to be or not. He went on.
"His name is Zero."
"Is he a vampire?"
"Yes. Lady Hio turned him into a vampire. You do remember her right?"
How could I forget? I considered her a witch. Which I'm pretty sure Kaname knew I did.
"Yes. So, what about him?"
"He is a piece that protects Yuki and he is also part of the Vampire Hunter Society."
I froze in my step. I've been afraid of them since I was little. I did not like where this was
going.
"Kaname I don't know what you're thinking, but I hope you know that I am not going to go near
him."
"Oh, but you are."
"NO! You know I hate them!"
After I said this, Kaname calmly left his window and walked over to me. He's a little bit
taller than I am, so he placed his left hand on my cheek. I could feel the warmth of his body just
from his hand. The fire that burns inside him. He only does this romantic thing when he is trying
to convince to take part in a plan. No wonder I fell for him.
"I know, but that's just a fear. If you could just steer Zero's feelings away from Yuki, I might be
willing to give you something in return."
"Like what?"
"How about the Crest of Laydon and Lily Misora?"
