Chapter 7: There's news, There's good news, There's bad news, and then There's worse news
Something outside the cave growled and when I looked back, a huge wolf was there. I saw him jump at me and I screamed.
I saw something jump at the wolf out of my peripheral vision and saw a wolf slam into the one that jumped. They growled at each other and the woman backed up, holding me close and growling at the wolf that attacked. I heard two high pitched growls and looked down, seeing the two small wolves in front of the women, growling and crouching down in anticipation for a fight. I tried reaching back for them, but the woman kept me from moving my arms.
The wolf that had attacked straightened up and walked on the other side of the cave to the other wolves. When he passed me, he looked up at me with eyes full of hate and then went to the other wolves, grumbling. I felt the woman relax a little but she sat down as far away from him as possible. The wolf that had helped us came up to the woman and laid down next to her. The two small wolves sat next to him and watched the wolf that attacked. I held onto the woman and watched the light outside the cave brighten. I blinked and had to look away from the sunrise. But when my eyes readjusted, I looked out and saw a figure standing in the trees.
He was standing in the shadows, watching the wolves. I stared at him and he finally looked at me, smiling slightly like he knew I was watching him. I smiled back and he waved goodbye before disappearing into the forest. I waited for him to come back but he didn't, and I didn't know if he ever would. When I looked at the tree he was standing at, there were claw marks, like he had dug his fingers into the tree.
"Yuuki, Yuuki, come on, wake up! You know the chairman doesn't want you sleeping here, come on, I'll walk you to your dorm." Kuroki said and I felt him grab my arm and pull me up as I yawned and tried to wake up enough to walk back to the dorm. I heard him sigh as we walked, him tugging me along in the right direction. When we were outside the dorm, he let go of my arm and I went inside, waving goodbye. He smiled and walked toward the Night class dorm.
I sighed and went up to my room. I took off my shoes and flopped down on the bed. Sleep came more easily and another memory came to me.
"Yuuki!"
I looked up and saw Kuroki running toward me. He ran to me, grabbed my hand and started running with me to the woods. Before I could ask, Takeshi was right behind us, running at full speed. Kuroki turned to me and grinned, holding something up. It was dark and small, but I could see it was a small animal.
"Isn't that?" I asked and Kuroki nodded. Kuroki was holding Takeshi's little rat friend named Juro. Takeshi found Juro in the river one day and was taking care of it until it decided to leave. Well since then, Kuroki made a game of playing hero, where Takeshi had to rescue Juro from Kuroki. Sometimes, I would be pulled into this game but I didn't know whose side I was supposed to be on.
"When I catch you, you're going to be sorry!" Takeshi shouted. I looked at Kuroki and he looked at me for a second before stopping, putting Juro down on the ground, and running with me again. I looked back and saw Takeshi stop and pick Juro up before turning around and heading back to the cave. Kuroki stopped running and we both watched Takeshi walk back to the cave before we started walking.
I woke up after I heard a knock on my door. I sighed and got up, putting on my robe and going to the door. I opened it and standing there was the last person I wanted to see, the chairman. He motioned to ask if he could come in and I stepped to the side. He came in and sat down in a chair near my bed while I shut the door and sat down on my bed. I waited for him to speak, but the chairman just looked around the room. I sighed and grabbed a pillow and put it in my lap.
"Ok, just tell me what you came here to tell me, or we'll be here all night and don't try to go around it, it'll just make it a whole lot easier if you just tell it to me straight." I said. He looked at me and smiled.
"You've gotten better at knowing the way I think." He said and I waited for him to go on. He sighed and looked out the window.
"You know about the vampire council?" He asked and I nodded. "Well, it seems they want to hold a ball for all vampires, but they can't seem to find a big enough place for all of the people they want to invite. So, they asked if they could use the ball room here. Of course I accepted and so did Kaname, but, under one condition." He said and looked at me. I waited until he went on. He sighed and looked at me like he was waiting for a storm to hit.
"Kaname said that the guardian's must be present at the ball, to make sure no vampire gets out of hand. So, you and Zero will be working that night and you both have to dress formally, the last part was the council's idea. Sorry." He said and waited for me to answer. I thought about it and asked.
"Is there any other way than this?" He shook his head and I sighed. "Well, I always wanted to see this council. I'll do it, but I'm not convincing Zero." I said and the chairman smiled.
"Yuuki, thank you so much, I am in debt to you!" He said and hugged me. I patted his back and he let go, saying he had to get the ball room ready. When he left, I sighed and lay back on my bed. "Well, at least I'll be at a ball, but Zero is not going to be happy." I thought.
