Chapter 25
After a good day's sleep, everyone was piled into the limo that Kaetsukikko managed to rent in Kurosu Kaien's name. And of course they left earlier than the specified time, leaving Tsukon-sensei and Sakurada-sensei stranded at the school, even though the trip was in the name of the history course.
"Now they can't bother us," said Kaetsukikko happily. She yawned. She snuggled into Kaname's shoulder. She, Yuki, Kaname Ichiru and Shizuka were sitting in the back. She was in between Ichiru and Kaname. Shizuka was beside Ichiru and Yuki, beside her brother. It was a boring bus ride anyway, so why not sleep. But then again it was a bad idea, since she was the only one who could reveal the location of the castle to others. If you did not know where it was, you would never find it. The truth was she neglected to give the location, but Kain gave him the directions as best he could before choking on his words, as he silently cursed the concealing spell that was placed around the castle. He was once again under her command because he urged her to reactivate the bond out of a twisted sense of duty that had wormed its way into his mind. Besides, what better way to protect the Queen and her adoptive son than be bound to them?
"Hime-sama," said Kain. "Wake up. The barrier won't let us in."
"Yare yare (dear me)," said Kaetsukikko. "I had forgotten."
Everyone turned and glared at her. We were stuck in this car, looking for the freaking castle, just because you were sleeping. How can we trust you to take care of the vampyr community, if your brain is so filled with fluff?! Yuki, Ichiru and Kaname looked at each other and anime sweat-dropped then face faulted. She gave them a glare in return. "Get out," she told Kain. "It's only an illusionary road that you have been travelling. It leads you in circles. Just watch." She pushed Kain out of the driver's seat. She took his place. She pressed the gas and pushed forward.
"That's a freaking cliff! You're going to kill us all!" shrieked Ruka.
"Really?" asked Kaetsukikko nonchalantly.
"Yes!!!" cried Hanabusa.
"Are you sure?" asked Kaetsukikko. They were now parked at the gates of Shichiyou castle.
"Yare yare (thank god)," said Kain.
"Actually I got us here safely," muttered Kaetsukikko. "That is, if I haven't given you all heart attacks. Can vampires even get heart attacks?"
Everyone looked at each other then sweat-dropped.
"Alright, everyone, this is our stop!" said Kaetsukikko into a makeshift microphone that she created with her hands. "To prevent injury, I would like you all to get out one by one. Have a fun trip. Be sure to return at the appointed time."
Crazy. Everyone exchanged looks.
Doomedpassion: I couldn't resist the stewardess speech thingy. =)
"Alright people, make yourselves at home. Boa, Meiyu, Uruki, Xiao Mei, bring Maaka Ren, Maaka Karin, Alex Lucard and Klaus to their rooms," said Kaetsukikko.
"Hai, kouhi-sama," said the four girls.
"Good," said Kaetsukikko.
After all the luggage was deposited into their rooms, the Night Class students were assembled in the drawing room.
"Tomorrow night, we will be looking at the documents. Rest well, or you may not be able to wrap you heads around the material," said Kaetsukikko. "Besides, you still have to unpack. By the way, those of you who were here last time, it was a formal occasion, and this time this is informal. Think of this as a vacation of a sort, though you still have to do school work. I don't care if you trip around this place in your pajamas and sweats. I suppose I should have said this earlier, so that you could leave the uniforms behind, but oh well…just wear whatever you feel comfortable in, ne?"
Crazy. Seriously crazy. But what the hell?! Time away from those stupid fangirls and boys. Time to relax! Such were the thoughts running through the minds of members of the Night Class.
"Minna (everyone) you should get back to your rooms and get settled ne?" said Kaetsukikko.
