Aikura groaned lowly, as she was awoken to the seemingly soft knocking at her bedroom door. Fluttering her black lashes open, Aikura glanced around before sitting up straight as she realized she was in her room, and even in her bed. Glancing down at her clothes, she sighed in relief to see that she was still in her clothes from the day before. Groaning once more, Aikura dragged herself out of bed and stumbled weakly towards her bedroom door and opened it slowly, while peeking her head outside to see Kaname smiling almost softly at her
"Morning Aikura-Chan, I have brought your uniform to you"
"T-Thank you Kanama"
"Now get yourself washed and dressed and meet everyone down in the lobby" Kaname said softly after Aikura took her uniform, as she watched Kaname walk back along the hallway. Sighing lightly while clutching her new uniform, Aikura closed her bedroom door as she turned on her heel and sauntered sleepily towards her bed; where she placed her uniform down, and went to take a quick shower before getting dressed and heading down to the lobby.
After sending around forty five minutes getting ready, Aikura sighed deeply as she slipped her flat black pumps on, and headed to her bedroom door with a low groan; as she opened the bedroom door, and headed along the hallway. Only to once again pause at the banister to see most of the night class students all hanging around, seemingly waiting for something to happen when Aikura noticed that Takuma glanced up at her with a gentle smile on his lips. Nervously biting her bottom lip, Aikura smiled weakly back before slowly walking towards the top of the stairs to be greeted by Kaname
"Are you ready Aikura-chan?"
"I... I t-think so"
"Come on. we should be getting to class" Kaname said almost softly as he held his hand out towards his cousin, as Aikura nervously slipped her hand into Kanames, and walked down the stairs as every single night class student glanced towards them. Feeling even more nervous than she had been, Aikura was about to run back to her room when she heard Takuma speak up
"Why good morning Aikura. Are you ready for class?"
"E-Erm... N-Not really"
"come on, you can sit with me if you want" Takuma said calmly, while holding his hand out to the extremely still nervous pure blood vampire girl, his torso leaned forward in a respectful form of bow; as Aikura glanced up to Kaname who just nodded at her with a calm smile. Aikura nervously released her cousins hand, to slip it into Takumas; as Senri walked over to the pair with a box of Pocky in his hand, offering it to the young pure blood vampire with a faint pink tinging his cheeks. Aikura herself also blushed faintly as she accepted the Pocky with a gentle, yet nervous smile as she spoke softly
"T-Thank you S-Senri"
"No problem"
"Shall we leave now?" Takuma said softly, as he gave Aikuras hand a gentle comforting squeeze
"Yes. let us leave" Kaname said simply as he lead the night class students out of the Moon dormitories, heading down to the gates as Aikura started to panic slightly; loosening her hold on Takumas hand, about ready to run back when she felt Takuma and Senri both place a hand upon her shoulders, causing her to glance up and stare between the two as Takuma smiled lightly
"Everything will be alright, it is why the Disciplinary committee were formed. To prevent the day class girls from getting near us, I promise you will be safe"
"Ichijou, Senri. Stay at the back, and bring Aikura to the class room once the day class students have gone to their own dorms" Kaname voice sounded, before turning his attention back to the gates as they opened, and leading the night class out of them.
After what had seemed like forever, Takuma sighed lightly before staring down at Aikura with a gentle smile, and indicated that they should head down to the classroom while it was now quiet. Nodding in agreement, Aikura allowed the two night class males to lead her towards their first class, making sure that no stray day class girls were around to hound them.
sighing in relief that they were able to make it to the class room safely, Takuma guided Aikura over towards an empty set of seats near Kaname, and allowed the young female to sit closest to Kaname; while he sat to her right, and Senri took his normal seat which was situated behind Takuma with a young female Vampire with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. In front of Aikura, as she noticed was another blonde male, though he had extremely bright blue eyes that in a strange and uncomfortable way seemed to sparkle at her. Sighing deeply, Aikura glanced towards her cousin, who seemed to be doing some reading as their teacher entered the class room; causing most of the night class student to begin to growl lowly.
Aikura blinked several times before leaning into Kaname, as she whispered lowly
"W-Why is everyone g-growling at him?"
"Because he is a Vampire hunter, his name is Toga Yagari. He teaches us Ethics" Kaname explained as Aikura nodded nervously before turning to face the front of the class to have pale baby blue eyes staring directly at her, causing her to gulp loudly as she began to squirm in her seat before standing up and running out of the classroom; causing Kaname to indicate for Takuma to follow her. Nodding Takuma did just that, he stood up and ran out of the classroom to follow the young female vampire.
While out on patrol, Zero Kiryu was leaning against a tree outside one of the many classes of the night class as a deep groan escaped parted lips; when the familiar scent of the pure blood Vampire he had for so long despised surrounding the area, and drawing much closer to him. Growling almost darkly Zero reached into his school jacket, drawing out his disciplinary weapon; the Bloody Rose, and pointed it in the direction of the incoming scent. when platinum hair and icy blue eyes stared wide eyed towards the taller male, fear written across her features as Zero growled out darkly at her
"You! You are related to that vampire aren't you!?" Zero growled darkly as he stepped closer to Aikura, causing her to take a step backwards, "You smell just like Shizuka Hio! Who are you Vampire!?"
"I... I..." Aikura sputtered nervously, tears beginning to form in her icy blue orbs, as she dropped to her knees with her head in her hands, "I-I'm s-sorry..."
"Answer me Vampire! Why do you have Shizuka Hios scent!?"
"P-Please..."
"Aikura! Aikura where-" Takumas worried voice echoed before cutting off to see Zero with his Bloody Rose pointed at Aikura, who was on her knees shaking; sobbing into her hands, clearly frightened for her life, "Put that away Zero!"
"Not till she answers me" Zero growled darkly, "Who are you to Shizuka Hio!?" Zero shouted again stepping closer to Aikura and pressing the Bloody rose to the top of the shaking vampires head
"Zero! Put that gun away and step away from my baby cousin" Kanames voice sounded darkly, causing said male to turn to face the pure blood male vampire, before glaring back down at Aikura who had in his distracted moment jumped to her feet, and ran into Kaname sobbing into his chest
"Who is she!?"
"Aikura is my baby cousin, Shizuka and Ridos daughter, and if you as so much as come anywhere near her again in any way to harm her; I will not be held accountable for the night class for ripping you apart!" Kaname hissed darkly, while he rested his left hand upon Aikuras back soothingly before turning his eyes to a rather shocked looking Takuma before speaking a little more calmer, "Ichijou, please take Aikura back to the Moon dormitories. Make sure she gets their safely"
"Y-Yes Lord Kaname" Takuma said lowly, while carefully wrapping an arm around Aikuras shoulders, and carefully pulling her into his own body; as he turned to walk her back to the dormitories
"And Ichijou"
"Yes Lord Kaname?"
"Do not let it slip who Aikura is" Kaname stated darkly, not once taking his eyes of off Zero, who only snarled towards Aikura
"Of course Lord Kaname" Takuma replied worriedly as he escorted Aikura back to the Moon dormitories, worry lacing his eyes while mixed with shock at his new findings of who Aikura truly was.
Entering the Moon dormitories, Takuma carefully guided Aikura towards the set of couches and allowed the young pure blood female to collapse into the comfy crimson cushions. Sighing deeply, Takuma closed the dorm main doors, walked over to the couches, and sat beside Aikura; while gently and comfortingly running his fingers through her long platinum hair.
Spending about fifteen minutes just comforting the young pure blood, Takuma sighed deeply as he snapped his head towards the dormitory main doors, light emerald green orbs narrowing when the door slowly opened to reveal Hanabusa, and two other night class students; a tall male with orange coloured hair, with almost matching coloured eyes, and a semi height female; with waist length dirty blonde to pale brown hair, with dull brown coloured eyes. sighing deeply Takuma returned his light emerald eyes to Aikura who still yet had to remove her pale face from the crimson cushions, inhaling deeply Takuma glanced towards his fellow class men with a worried expression written within his eyes
"Why are you three out of class?"
"President Kuran sent us all back to class. something about going to talk with Kaien Cross"
"I see, then please head straight to your rooms" Takuma said simply before gently tapping Aikuras shoulder to get her attention, "Aikura, come with me. I will take you to the Headmaster"
"O-Okay..." aikura mumbled weakly wiping at her eyes before allowing Takuma to take her hand, pulling her to her feet carefully, and escorting her out of the Moon dormitories, and towards the main building of the school.
When they arrived at the Headmasters office, Zero and Yuki were leaning against the wall opposite the Headmasters office doors. Keeping her eyes locked to the floor, Aikura clutched at Takumas arm, catching the blondes attention as he sighed and directed her towards the office doors as Yuki glanced up
"A-Aikura-Chan, are you okay?" Yuki asked as she reached her hand out to touch Aikuras shoulder before her hand was violent slapped away
"D-don't touch me! Y-you... Y-you dirty Human!" Aikura screamed loudly, her icy blue eyes flashing red as she glared at young Disciplinary Committee member before a hand gently touched her shoulder
"Come on Aikura-Chan" Takuma said softly, causing Aikura to nod and turn back to facing the Headmasters office door before opening the large wooden door and stepping in, her icy blue eyes fixed on the ground. Sighing Takuma apologized to Yuki, before staring towards Zero in warning as he to entered the Headmasters office behind Aikura.
Standing beside the oak office desk, Kaien Cross, along with both Toga Yagari and Kaname Kuran; had their eyes fixed upon Aikura and Takuma. A low sigh slipped from Kanames lips, as he walked over to Aikura and wrapped his arms almost protectively around the still slightly shaken female. Toga Yagari stared at the two pure bloods for a moment, before sighing in exasperation before parting his lips
"So it is true. You are indeed Shizuka Hios daughter. Aikura Hio"
"That is right Toga Yagari, Aikura is my younger cousin, and what Zero did was in no way fair to her. She should not be blamed for the sins of Shizuka, there for she doesn't deserve to be treated like her"
"You have a point Kaname Kuran, Zero should know better than to just attack the night class students without a reasonable explanation. Which it is clear, that he had no explanation, except for Aikura being Shizukas daughter" the Headmaster stated simply, his eyes down casted slightly with a low sigh slipping from his lips, "As for what I will do with him, Zero will be relieved of his Disciplinary Committee role for exactly one week-"
"You can't do that Headmaster Cross!" Yuki shouted as she burst through the doors, tears in her eyes as she clenched one hand into a fist, "Zero didn't mean to hurt Aikura-chan, and I am sure he would apologize if-"
"I don't want his apologizes, t-they mean nothing to me" Aikura spoke up finally, her icy blue eyes staring straight into Yukis brown orbs, "I c-came to this school to get away from my lineage, with only Kaname-Sama knowing who I really was. I... I don't want my m-mothers name or my Father's Names spoken in my presence" The words were icy, and the way Aikura spoke the word 'Father' sent chills down Yukis spine as she stared back at the young vampire
"K-Kaname-Sama? Is Aikura really that vampires daughter?"
"She is Yuki, Aikura is my cousin. She is also Senris half sister, I would appreciate it if no-one in this room dares speak a word of this any further. Aikura does not need this, she just wants to live her life" Kaname stated simply, his expression that covered his face was one of an emotionless look, as a small sigh slipped from his lips, "Ichijou, please take Aikura back to the Moon dormitories, and return her to her room please"
"Of course lord Kaname" Takuma replied, holding his hand out to Aikura, who took his offered hand and allowed herself to be returned back to the Moon Dormitories.
While still in the office Yuki tried to convince the Headmaster to reconsider his decision, though not winning her cause; Zero just leaning against the door frame
"Yuki, this is for the best, Zero needs to learn his lesson. Aikura had done nothing wrong"
"But father!"
"Young lady, all Aikura did was leave her class I was teaching. She was obviously very upset or even shocked that I, a vampire hunter was going to be teaching her first class. She haad her reasons to leave the class and enter the school grounds, Zero shouldn't off pulled his weapon on her, even if she is Shizukas daughter" Toga Yagari stated, a scowl written across his features, "I wasn't even expecting to see her, but I do know that the Hunter Association has been trying to track down Aikura, just because of her lineage"
"Master?"
"Zero, What Yagari has said is true. Aikura had been in hiding for six long years, when Headmaster Cross received the entry form for Aikura joining the academy; he informed me instantly and I gave the permission to bring her here. She would never harm anyone, she does not need to be hated even more than she already is" Kaname stepped in instantly with a deep sigh, "Now if you will excuse me, I need to go check on my cousin"
"K-Kaname..." Yuki whisperd lowly, her brown orbs following after Kanames retreating back, with a look of longing lacing her own eyes
"Now Zero, You must hand over your Bloody Rose, and you will no longer be allowed to be part of the Disciplinary Commitee for exactly seven days"
"I understand" Zero replied, as he removed the Bloody Rose from within his jacket and placed it on the Headmasters desk before leaving the small room with Toga Yagari on his heels, leaving Yuki and Kaien Cross to talk alone.
While back over at the Moon Dormitories, Aikura had run off to her quarters as soon as herself and Takuma entered in through the main doors, causing those sitting in the lobby to turn and watch as Aikura ran off sobbing to her bedroom
"What happened at the Headmasters office Takuma?"
"I can't say Senri, I think we should just leave Aikura to calm down, and let her be alone" Takuma said lowly as he walked over to the couch in which Senri had be situated on and slouched down
"Where is Lord Kaname?"
"He was still at the Headmasters office. He should be back soon Ruka" Takuma stated simply to the young female vampire, with the dirty blonde, pale brown hair with dull brown eyes. Said female sighed and left the lobby to return to her own quarters, leaving only the four males and a female to wait for Kaname to return.
while sitting in the lobby, Takuma sat back on one of the two couches reading one of his Manga books, Aidou and the tall orange haired male had left to return to their own rooms; leaving Takuma reading on one of the two couches, Senri leaning his head back against the other, and the young blonde haired blue eyed female. Senri sighed deeply as he heard the sound of a Pocky box being opened as he glanced towards the blonde female to be greeted with a Pocky stick, sighing and taking the chocolate coated biscuit stick into his mouth, Senri let another sigh slip from parted lips
"Hey Rima, do you have a spare box of those?"
"Of course Senri, don't you want to share?" the young blonde asked shifting through her bag, and pulling out a box of Pocky, before handing it to Senri
"It isn't that Rima. I just want to go and see if Aikura-chan is okay, I don't know why, but I just feel as if I should go speak with her"
"Okay Senri, but just be careful"
"I will Rima" Senri said softly, clutching the box of Pocky in his right hand, as he pulled himself of the couch; noticing Takuma glancing up at him as he walked past the blonde, and headed up the stairs to head towards Aikura room.
Curled up on her bed, Aikura had cried herself into sleep, while tear tracks stained her pale features; making her eyes red rimmed and puffy. The pale blue covers of Aikuras bed, were hung low around her waist; school jacket laid on the floor as it thrown, along with her school blouse that was a deep black, and her skirt and shoes were in amungst the messy pile. Adorning her pale flesh, Aikura wore a simply strappy lilac silk night dress, with the straps falling down her shoulders, and revealing her cleavage of her breast. Long Platinum hair lain around her face, while scattered across her pillow.
Though icy blue orbs slowly fluttered open to the sound of gentle knocking upon her bedroom door, rubbing at her puffy eyes Aikura glanced towards her bedroom window; when she noticed that it was still night time, a low sigh slipping from her lips as she dragged herself off of her bed, and stumbled almost sleepily over to the bedroom and slowly opened it as she peeked her head around the corner to see Senri gazing down at her
"S...Senri?"
"Hey. Are you okay?" Senri asked lowly, his dull blue eyes gazing down into Aikuras red rimmed, puffy icy blues with concern written across his normally expressionless features
"Y-Yeah... I... I think so"
"M-May I come in?"
"S-Sure" Aikura whispered lowly, while opening the door a little more, as she stepped to the side allowing the male vampire into her small room.
Senri just smiled lightly down at Aikura as he stepped past the thresh-hold of Aikuras bedroom, noticing how the younger vampire was in her pajamas, a pink tinge dusted his cheeks as he watched her push the door to, and walk over to her bed where she climbed back under her quilt; as she sat with her legs crossed and eyes focused on her interlocked fingers in her lap
"I ... I erm... brought you some Pocky" Senri said lightly as he stepped closer to Aikura, while holding out the unopened box of Pocky towards the obviously upset vampire
"T-thank you..."
"S-so, what is wrong A-Aikura-Chan?"
"O-Oh...ahhh...w-well, Y-you know I ran out of class earlier?" Aikura asked weakly, as she glanced up towards the slightly older male who nodded at her, "W-well... w-when I got o-outside, t-that D-disciplinary male s-started shouting at m-me... asking if I was r-related to some women"
"Some women?" Senri asked raising a brow, his dull blue eyes carefully accessing the young female
"H-he never said h-her name, he just kept shouting at me" Aikura whispered weakly, rubbing at her puffy eyes before glancing up at Senri, to see a look of concern etched into his facial features, "Y-You must think I... think I'm pathetic"
"Not at all Aikura-chan"
"R-Really?"
"Why would I think that?" Senri asked softly as Aikura shrugged her shoulders before toying with the box of Pocky within her hands, "Kaname had informed us all of little parts of your past, such as your fear of being alone around humans" Senri explained softly as he reached a hand forward, taking the still closed box of Pocky and opened them with a small smile, "Kaname also told us that... well that you were alone for a long time with no interaction with anyone. He never told us why though, he said you would tell us when you felt comfortable to do so"
"K-Kaname said that?"
"Yeah, he seems rather protective of you" Senri said with a weak shrug, while handing the box of Pocky back towards Aikura; his fingers just tracing Aikuras, before he pulled his hand away quickly, a slightly deeper blush touching his cheeks
"I... I g-guess it is because I ... I've known K-Kaname for a while"
"Probably. Though, Aikura-Chan, if you don't mind me asking; but why did you go for a long time with out any interaction with anyone?" Senri asked softly, not wanting to upset the younger female; so he reached his hand back out and gently gave Aikuras right hand a gentle squeeze causing her to glance up, and stare into his own blue eyes
"W-well... I just... I w-was in hiding... a-away from the humans who use to keep threatening me, one group even set my small little apartment a flame" Aikura whispered lowly, glancing back down to her bed before shifting her eyes towards her bedroom door to see a glimpse of Kaname watching them both, "I g-guess it was a good t-thing I wasn't home at the time"
"W-well that explains your fear of being alone with those humans"
"T-that isn't all of it" Aikura said lowly before inhaling deeply and glancing back up at Senri, "I had to hide after that, b-because those hunters were looking for me. T-the towns people of my old home, had informed them of a violent Vampire scaring the children of the town... they chased me out of my home, and forced me into hiding away from everyone"
"T-that is just harsh, and rather horrid. Why would the hunter association go after a young vampire, if they had no need to?"
"I... I don't know... I wish I did" Aikura whispered weakly before taking a Pocky stick from the box in her lap, a deep sigh slipping from her parted lips as she slipped the chocolate coated end of the Pocky stick into her mouth and biting it off. Senri just sighed as he shifted closer to the younger of the two of them and wrapped his arms around the girls waist, pulling her into his chest as he sighed deeply before murmuring lowly into Aikuras ear
"It will be okay Aikura-Chan, all the time you are here, you have us all to keep you safe. We won't let anyone hurt you" Senri sighed again placing a small kiss to the girls head before whispering, "I prefer seeing you without any tears in your eyes"
"R-Really S-Senri?" Aikura asked, while blinking up at the slightly older teen, her normally pale cheeks flushed slightly pink
"Yeah. You are a very beautiful young women Aikura-chan"
"T-thank you... S-Senri" Aikura whispered lightly as her icy blue orbs glanced towards her bedroom door to see that Kaname was no longer standing there watching the two of them.
As the night went on, the whole of Cross Academy had gone silent. In the Moon Dormitories Aidou was just heading to his own room when he passed Aikuras bedroom door, glancing to see why the door was open; Aidou stared wide eyed at the scene he saw as he quietly ran down the hall way to inform Kaname what he had seen. when he reached Kanames room, Aidou was about to knock the door when Kaname stepped out of his room
"L-Lord Kaname"
"What is it Hanabusa?" Kaname asked with an annoyed sigh, while staring at the blue eyed blonde vampire male
"S-Senri is asleep in Aikura-chans bedroom"
"I see. Though how do you know this Hanabusa?"
"Aikura-Chans bedroom is open, when I was heading to my room I saw them both in her bed asleep" Hanabusa said lowly, as he glanced up to stare into Kanames eyes, "You told us all that we were to sleep in our own rooms L-Lord Kaname"
"That I did" Kaname said with an exasperated sigh as he headed down the hallway, towards Aikuras bedroom with Hanabusa following behind him.
Though when the two male vampires reached Aikuras bedroom, Takuma, Rima, Kain and Ruka were standing outside Aikuras bedroom talking amungst them about what they were seeing
"Why are you all invading on Aikura-chans privacy?"
"L-Lord Kaname, Aikura has already broken the school rules" Ruka stated simply, her arms across her chest while gazing longingly towards Kaname
"I want you all to return to your rooms this instance"
"B-but Lord Kaname"
"Now!" Kaname stated angrily, his wine coloured eyes flashing red, as everyone except Takuma left instantly and returned to their own rooms
"Lord Kaname. Senri doesn't know that Aikura-chan is his sister does he?" Takuma asked once he knew it was only himself and Kaname left standing in the hallway
"No he doesn't. Senri needs to find out in his own time, but it does seem that he may suspect something"
"Oh? What makes you say that Kaname?" Takuma asked lowly as he glanced towards the pure blood vampire wandering what he could of meant
"Earlier, Senri was sitting with Aikura-Chan talking to her. Now who do you know that would random pull a stranger into their arms? As if to protect them?"
"Well, No one really Kaname. I suspose Senri just feels like he needs to protect her. I mean earlier he seemed a little distraught when he saw her run to her room crying"
"I wonder if Senri can feel the familiar pull to her that I did when I first met her six years ago"
"Who knows Kaname. I suppose we should be getting to bed" Takuma said lightly as he turned to face Kaname and bid him a goodnight before heading off to his own bedroom. Leaving Kaname to watch both his cousins for a brief moment before slowly closing Aikuras bedroom door, before he too headed off to bed himself with one final thought running through his mind.
'Will Senri and Aikura end up like Juri and Haruka? Will the siblings themselves also fall in-love?'
