Things were decidedly...weird.

I mean, when you learn something as shocking as the fact that vampire actually exist and live among humans, you'd expect something to change, right? It should be natural. And yet here I was, sitting in math class worrying about the fact that I forgot what the rule of a linear function was. No, apparently in my mind, a tough math problem was more important than vampires.

Clearly I was dropped on the head a few times as a child.

Yet, in a way, it was kind of natural. To me, anyway. It was just like; Pluto's been demoted to dwarf planet, global-warming is getting worse, vampires exists..okay, no big deal. Just a bunch of random facts. It was kind of funny, in a weird sort of way.

Though in a way, I was acting pretty foolish. I mean, I should have been taking things a little more seriously. Tamaki-sempai was a vampire. That meant he drank blood like I would a 7-up. How was I to know when he'd decided that I was looking more like a refreshment than a girl to visit during class hours.

Which was another thing to consider. Tamaki-sempai said that the whole NIGHT CLASS was made up of vampires! Looking at all of the fangirls sitting around me, I couldn't help but snigger. If only they knew! The poor saps.

Yuki looked over at me. "Is something funny?" she asked.

I shook my head. "Just thinking about some stuff," I replied. She nodded and turned back to her own work. It looked like she was having more problems than I was. Turning to my own work, I saw that she was wearing the necklace I gave her. Those 'scratches'... I wonder if they were actually bite marks. Though Yuki seems like the kind of girl who would really let someone take a bite out of her. Then again, if it was someone she liked, like maybe Kuran-sempai...

I shook my head again. As curious as I was, I wasn't about to ask her about them. Mostly, it would be a dead giveaway that I found out about the Academy's dirty little secret, and I didn't want to think about what they'd do to me if they knew I knew. But there was also the fact that it was a pretty personal issue, and I wasn't about to invade Yuki's privacy in the name of curiosity. Even if it was tempting.

"Mitsuki, are you coming?"

I looked up to see that Yuki and Yori were already standing you with their books in their hands. I also saw that everyone was leaving for their next class. Uh. Guess I spaced out again. Grabbing my stuff, I jumped up to join my friends.

As we walked down the hallway, Yuki asked me, " Is something up?"

Startled, I said, :Uh? Um, no. Why?"

She shrugged. "It's just that you were spacing out the whole class." Oh. So even Yuki noticed?

Yori , who was standing on my right, looked over at Yuki. "You don't really have the right to talk, do you?" At that, Yuki just slumped. I was laughing, but stopped short when I saw two guys walking towards us, clad in sparkling white uniforms. Well crap.

Yuki saw them almost at the same time as I did, and you could almost see how hard Yuki worked to keep the blush from creeping up her cheeks. "Good afternoon, Kaname-sempai. Ichijo-sempai," she said, giving them a small bow. I almost ran in the opposite direction, but managed to stay still. I mean, if I had run away, it would have been kind of obvious. That I knew. But I mean, why? Why did I have to meet the guy in charge of all of the Night Class vampires the day AFTER I found out? Why couldn't I have had at least a week to prepare myself? Sometime's I think life just wants to laugh at me. Or worse.

Kuran-sempai smiled. "Good afternoon Yuki," he said to her. Yori and I kind of hung back behind her. Yori did it probably because she was used to this sort of thing; I did it because I didn't want to bring attention to myself. And yet Kuran-sempai glanced at me for a second or two. Maybe wondering what this new girl was doing with Yuki, or just because I was there. Either way, my heart skipped a beat for a moment. I almost laughed at myself when I wondered if vampires could read minds.

"What brings you here today, Kaname-sempai?" Yuki asked him. Actually, that was a good question. It was early afternoon, so the Night Class wasn't due to come out for another few hours.

"Oh, we're just going to see the Headmaster!" Ichijo-sempai said brightly. I couldn't help but smile a bit. Ichijo Takuma sure had a way to cheer anyone up, no matter what the circumstance.

"Oh! Well, I guess we'll leave you on your way," Yuki said, brushing some hair behind her ear. I wonder if this was how I acted around Tamaki-sempai. God, I hope not.

"Alright, then! See you later Yuki-chan!" Ichijo said as he began to walk away. Kuran-sempai smiled and said farewell as he walked with Ichijo-sempai, but before we could walk away, he called out, "Yuki?"

We all turned back to look at him, even though he was only talking to Yuki. "Yes, Kaname?" she asked nervously.

"I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting your new friend yet," he said with a small smile.

My heart stopped right then and there. I was probably over-exgarerating. Or over-thinking. But for some reason, I was... well, kind of terrified. Some small part of me was screaming that somehow he had found out that I knew. I wanted to strangle that part so badly at this point.

Yuki looked surprised, but I introduced myself before she could recover. If I was about to be busted, I thought it was fitting that I should be the one to talk. "My name is Mitsuki Satahiro. It's a pleasure to meet you," I said, giving him the respectful bow.

I could see him look me over with an expression that I could not name. Then he smiled, and said to me, equally polite, "The pleasure is all mine." With that, the two Night Class boys left. I relaxed out of my tensed state. That was strange. Then again, maybe it was natural. It was obvious that he felt something for Yuki. Maybe he just wanted to see who I was; make sure that I wasn't harassing her, or something. And maybe he couldn't read minds. I'd have to ask Tamaki-sempai about it later.

I sighed. Either way, it looked like I was going to live another day, without something bad happening. I hoped.


Oh my God, it's KANAME!

*squeals, then leans in* Did you know that I had a dream about Kaname last night?

*waggles eyebrows suggestively, is shot*

Ow...T.T Okay, I get it...

Still, Kaname can come and read my mind any day ;P

*hit upside the head*

T~T

Ah well.

Oh right! Mitsuki just jinxed herself!

So something bad's gonna happen, right?

Or is it? :S So confused.

This does not bode well.
