"Goodnight, my princess." I felt his lips brush against my forehead. Soon after, I fell asleep. I fell asleep, too soon to be natural, what happened?
"Aah!" the bright morning light stung my eyes, as it shone through the large window just across from the bed. Just where was I? My room isn't this lavish, or this tidy for that matter. Saying that though, Yori's side is immaculate, but mine, well, let's just say, it's not as well kept as Lily's stable.
"Oh! This is Kaname-senpai's room! I wonder where he is right now…" I trailed off, scanning the spacious room quickly, making sure nobody was hiding anywhere. I pushed back the silk covers and jumped off the bed, it was pretty high, for a bed. I was still wearing my uniform, except for my jacket and shoes which I now had to search for.
My jacket was easy enough to find, on the chair by the desk, but my shoes were nowhere to be found, they weren't beside the bed, or under it. After roughly 15 minutes of looking for them, I finally came up with the conclusions that either I didn't have shoes, or someone stole them, or a maid could've taken them for cleaning. The last idea I scrapped immediately, because this is a dorm, more like a castle, full of vampires, the maids would end up being perfect blood supplies for the vampires. But the first two ideas seemed almost as ludicrous, however, I couldn't help feel something was going on, and I didn't know about it…
"Yuuki." I jumped.
"I'm sorry, Yuuki. I didn't mean to startle you."
"Oh, oh it's okay, really. Kaname-senpai, I just wasn't expecting anyone to be here, that's all."
I suddenly felt faint and my legs couldn't support me. I swayed a little, but luckily Kaname-senpai was there to catch ahold of me before I fell to the floor.
"Are you okay, Yuuki?" he said, as he tilted his head, true-concern shining from his blood-red eyes.
"Y-yes, I'm alright, Kaname-senpai. I just feel a little bit dizzy, that's all."
"Hmm." He looked away, squinting slightly at the sun's rays beaming through the open curtains. He set me gently on the bed in a comfortable sitting position leaning against the huge pile of pillows, so as I didn't fall. He then took a few strides, with his long, toned-looking legs, and swiftly closed the curtains, shutting out the offending light rays.
He then, walked back over to the bed and sat next to me. He placed his hand on my forehead. I jumped slightly at the sudden skin contact.
"I think you have a fever, Yuuki."
"…It must've been from Zero dragging me out without my coat! I'm gonna get him, and drag him out someday. See how he likes it! And I'll have my lovely fluffy coat on and-!"
"Yuuki. Calm down. You don't want to make your fever worse, do you?" he said, his voice's tone rising near the end. Was he actually giving me a choice…?
"But you know…" he continued, his breath tickling my ear as he spoke, I didn't notice how close we'd gotten.
"…If you're sick, I can't see you, Yuuki…"
My mind was confused, I'm probably sick now, and he can still see me, right?
"…You won't be able to attend school, and you would not be fit to upkeep your duties as a guardian or a prefect."
I hadn't thought of that. And I knew I couldn't let myself get worked-up because of Zero. I couldn't let the Chairman down. I couldn't let my classmates or the vampires down. But most of all, I couldn't let Kaname-senpai down, not after everything he's done for me.
"..O-okay. I'm okay now, Kaname-senpai."
"Are you sure, you look quite pale." He rested his hand on the side of my face and held it there. The heat of his hand is deliciously cooling, yet somehow it feels like it could burn right through me. I leaned into his hand, closing my eyes ever so slightly. I felt relaxed. I felt like I belonged somewhere. And that somewhere was with Kaname-senpai.
But I knew I could never be with him. He's a vampire. A pureblood vampire at that. And what am I? I'm a human. Only a fraction of his life will pass while I'll have passed on completely.
"Yuuki?" His voice brought me back to my senses and out of my thoughts.
"Yes?"
"Would you like to return to your dorm, or would you prefer me to take you to the Chairman?"
"Ano, would it be okay if I stayed here…?" I asked him quietly, secretly hoping he wouldn't be angry at my stupid request. Why did I ask him that? I should've just agreed to go back to my dorm!
"I'm sure that would be alright. Let me just call the Chairman to let him know where you are, okay?"
"Of course."
"Now, I'm sure you'd be hungry, so would you like anything to eat?"
Hmm, now that I think about it, I haven't eaten since dinner-time yesterday. And just to prove a point already made clear to me, my stomach made the loudest grumble in history. Now, I'm officially the most unlucky person ever!
"Heh" Oh my god! Kaname-senpai just laughed! Wait a minute! He laughed at me! How dare he, I'll show him about laughing at me, I'll-
"Yuuki, come on. I can call the Chairman later; let's get you something to eat first."
My cheeks were burning, and were probably the reddest things since ever!
"Ano, Senpai?"
"Yes, Yuuki?"
"…Where are my shoes? I was looking for them earlier, but I can't find them anywhere-"
"Is this them?" he pointed over by the sofa next to the window.
"Oh!" Now I felt really stupid. And I'm so embarrassed that Kaname-senpai saw me act this way.
"Are you ready?" He asked me after I'd put my shoes on.
"Hai!"
"You're one cute kid, Yuuki!" he said laughing (…again…) but this time he had tears in his eyes. They were glistening brightly, even in the low light of the room.
"Now, let's go get some food, before you collapse." After wiping the tears of laughter from his face, he bent down, and lifted me off my feet. I guess he was gonna carry me… But I'm fine, I can walk, I'm not some sick invalid who needs to be carried everywhere!
Just at that moment, everything faded to darkness.

Woah, now that was long! (well, long enough for me...)
I haven't been feeling the best lately, and schoolwork is steadily piling up... (even though there's only 3 weeks left of school...)
I know that this story hasn't been updated in a while and for that I'm very sorry!! * bows to readers, asking for forgiveness *
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I know I really loved writing it!! None of this was written down... All in my head and straight onto the computer.
Not the smartest of ideas, but it'd take too long to write, and my handwriting is beyond, beyond hopeless! Sometimes I can't even read it...
Ja ne!!
