A/N: It's time for the weekly add, and I don't feel lucid, so please correct me if I do something stupid. I'm using my prompt from my Naruto one-shot collection, but it's going to be different, obviously. Anyway, thank you guys for sticking around for another add. I appreciate it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or make any profit from this.

We were 13 when it happened.

"It's so hot..." Ruka whined as we – meaning her, Akatsuki, Senri, and I – laid out in the grass in the gardens. We were under a tree, but the heat was oppressive, and the air conditioning was broken in my house, where we were staying. The night hadn't brought any relief from the heat at all.

"It would be worse if Hanabusa was here." I noted. "You feel hotter when you're annoyed."

Ruka moaned and laid her head on Akatsuki's chest, as if that would help. Senri pulled my pigtail gently to get my attention. He tossed a glance towards another part of the estate and I sat up.

"I forgot, I'm sorry, the pool is open." I jumped up, dragging Senri behind me as Ruka and Akatsuki blinked in surprise. "I know you guys brought your bathing suits, so let's go."

It took us 5 minutes flat to get changed; despite there were four of us that had to actually get ready.

"Rima, as soon as I'm not so damn hot, I'm going to kill you." Ruka huffed, but her tone was merely scolding, she didn't mean it. Akatsuki would've stopped her if she were serious.

Ruka and I dangled our feet in for a few minutes before actually getting in, and the boys slid right in. The water felt frigid, and within minutes my teeth were chattering.

"Are you really that cold, Rima?" Senri asked as I shivered.

I shot a glare at him for pointing it out. I kept thinking that it was just the sudden shift, that I would adjust eventually, but I just kept shivering.

Eventually, Senri pulled me against him and held me there, letting me warm up using his body heat. But within a few minutes of me being adjusted, we heard thunder and it started to pour, so we rushed inside.

"The sky ruined our fun." Ruka pouted, looking up at Akatsuki with big eyes.

I tipped my head to the side at Senri to ask if they were dating, and my redhead just shrugged in response. Funny how neither of us could tell, and Ruka hadn't told me.

When it became apparent that it wasn't going to stop storming, we changed out of our bathing suits and huddled in the living room.

We had been watching TV for about thirty minutes, and the thunder was getting especially close, when Senri jerked beside me and whispered in my ear, "Did you just shock me?"

"What?" I pulled my hands in front of my face and stared at them, sure enough, little zaps of electricity were coming from my fingertips.

I excused myself and locked myself in the bathroom after that, begging it to stop. It had only happened once before, and I had nearly killed someone that time.

"Rima?" Senri knocked on the bathroom door, and the door thumped as he leaned against it. "Rima, it won't be that bad. The storm is leaving, it'll be over in a minute."

I unlocked the door and he slipped inside, holding me and enduring all the little zaps he got from it. As the storm faded off, so did the electricity, to the point where I could contain it. I leaned against Senri and inhaled deeply. We both still smelled of chlorine from the pool, but the smell of his blood was there, under it, relaxing me.

The rain kept coming, but my electricity had faded.

A/N: It isn't very long, and it feels kind of weird, but there are parts that I like in it. What did you think?
