~ I don't own Vampire Knight.

~ I made my own version of the scene where Aidou saves Yori and the things that followed.

~ POV is on me. Flashback format.

Chapter 18: Winter Page: Mysterious Past

Where is Yuuki? I haven't seen her anywhere. Yori thought as she looked around the students residing at the Girls' Sun Dorm.

"Hey, did you two saw Yuuki?" Yori asked two girls.

"Maybe she's at the Chairman's place." One of them said.

Yuuki, where are you?

"Hey, let's go to the Moon Dorms?" One of the girls Yori previously talked to.

"But the risk..." The other said.

"We rarely get these chances..." Yori drowned them out when she thought of an answer to see her best friend to see if she's okay: Go over the Chairman's. She can't sneak on the front because it's crowded and people would surely ask her where she's going. So the only option left for her is the back.

Yori ran as fast as her legs allowed her to. Once she was out, there's no one there. But the uneasiness in the air lingered all around her as if to suffocate her, as if to kill her from all the tension that has been going on the school ever since the end of the long vacation.

Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound from the trees ahead of her.

"Good day to you, Miss. We are in the midst of preparing a present for out master whom we haven't seen for a very long time." a strange man said once he revealed himself from the shadows of the trees.

"Who are you?" Yori asked.

X-X-X

Aidou was wondering about the area around the Sun Dorms. He wasn't skipping on his duties. Heavens, no. He's just taking a break. All the Cross-Yuuki-being-the-sister-of-Kuran-Kaname-crap is making him crazy. Only, the problem is, he didn't asked any permission. And that can be considered escaping from duties.

"It's just for a few minutes anyway. Nobody's going to notice my absense" Aidou muttered to himself as he walked about the area. That is when he realized he was no longer at the Moon Dormitory area.

"Who are you?" He heard a girl say not too far from where he is.

"I'm a vampire. Like I've said, I am in the midst of looking for a present for my master~!"

"Aa~!"

'A level E!' Aidou ran as fastas his legs could carry to the sound of the scream.

X-X-X

Yori was anticipating pain, her flesh ripped apart. But all she felt was nothing except that the temperature around her suddenly turned cold.

'Am I already dead? Have I not felt the pain of dying? Is this really what it feels like to die? What will happen if I open my eyes? Will the pain come surging then? Or would I still feel nothing and se nothing but the darkness?'

To answer her own question, she slowly opened her eyes, taking into account of her surroundings.

Nothing. Just the usual sight of the trees. Only the addition of Aidou Hanabusa and a pile of ash in the picture.

"Are you alright?" a very panicky Aidou Hanabusa asked a still shocked Yori.

'So, I'm not dead? Thank God...' Yori thought as she stared at her savior. Stare... Stare... Oh right... Response...

"Uhm... Yes, I'm okay." Yori said, still dumb-founded about the situation, not Aidou. 'What is so special about him anyway? Oh right. He's not human. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.'

"That's good." Aidou sighed in relief. 'Okay. So she's not fan girling. She's not gawking at me. She's just looking at me as if I'm normal.'

"Yori-chan!" Both of them turned their heads towards the direction of Yuuki's figure running towards them.

"Yori-chan, are you okay?" Yuuki asked as she stopped beside her. But before any chit-chat can be formed, another group of Level Es appeared ahead of them.

'Well, Cross Yuuki... Yuuki-sama will be totally useless for now.' Aidou thought as he summoned ice to kill off the damned things before it can get them.

"Yori-chan, I'm just like the thing that just turned into dust. I'm sorry." Yuuki said with a very apologetic face.

"Idiot! You should be apologizing for eating my pocky." Yori said as she ran to hug Yuuki.

'Pocky? Pocky's more important than being a vampire? I'm offended.' Aidou thought as he looked at them. 'Besides, Cross Yuuki is born an idiot... Shit... No! Cross Yuuki is Kaname-sama's sister/fiance... So there should be equal distribution of respect... Yeahhhhh....... Okay, weird anyway... Cutting this off now.'

"Cross Yuuki... Yuuki-sama, we need to get going before-"

"Yuuki, what are you doing out here?" Kaname said as he approached the trio. 'Well then damn. He's already here.'

"Kaname-senpai." Yuuki muttered as Kaname stood beside her.

"Aidou, have you been doing your task?" Kaname asked the addressed person... duh...

"Yes, Kaname-sama, I swear I did my job!" Aidou said. Let's take into account that he's nervous.

"Yuuki, go back to your room."

"But, Kaname-senpai, Yori-chan is-"

Aidou, take care of Yuuki's friend." Kaname said, looking at Aidou with an expression which can be translated as 'Your punishment for disobeying... Again. What's new with that?'

"Yes, Kaname-sama." Aidou said as he hung his head lowly.

"Come now. We should get going there are more scary things out here." Aidou said as he led Yori back to the dorms.

X-X-X

"Hey everyone! I've kicked off the asses of the bad guys! You're totally safe now." Aidou said as he barged in the Sun Dorm door.

Silence. More Silence. Even more silence. Oh c'mon. He's not used to people being silent.

"Rumors have unfortunately spread. They already know we're vampires." Seiren, who came out of nowhere, said.

"Oh gawd~!!! Do you HAVE to scare me like that?!" Aidou said as he clutched his chest as if having a heart attack.

"Geez, this is my first time saving humans for a noble purpose and this is what I get?!" Aidou muttered to himself.

"Uhm, Aidou-senpai!" Yori said as she stood up from her sitting position.

"YEah, what is it, Wakaba Sayori?" Aidou asked as he scratched the back of his head.

"Thank you for saving me back there. I'm sorry I wasn't able to thank you back there. I was still shaken so..." Yori said as she bowed in gratitude.

"Yeah. Sure. No prob." Aidou said

"I always thought there was something weird about you guys. But that's okay. We're all weirdos anyway. So why bother to be weirded out and be scared?" Shindo, the girl who wears glasses and braids her hair, said, stanind up.

"Yeah! Why should we feel weirded out and scared! It's not like they're the bad guys." The girls' dorm president said, also standing up.

"Yeah, okay.. No need to force yourselves. I'm not expecting any gratitude anyway..." Aidou said as he scratched his cheek. "Anyway, we will have to erase your memories-"

"Don't!!" Shindo screamed.

"We don't want to forget." The dorm president said. "All those who don't want to forget, please stand up."

Upon the declaration of the president, all the female population of the Sun Dorms stood up simultaneously.

'Wakaba Sayori, damn you for even speaking up and making my job harder.' Aidou thought as he looked at the people all standing up, Yori included.

X-X-X

"Who are you writing to?" Aidou asked as he entered the room.

"Yori-chan." Yuuki said as she locked the drawer where she put the letter.

"Oh. Her." Aidou said as he set his book down.

"What's wrong, Aidou-senpai?" Yuuki asked, sensing there's a problem in her mentor's head.

"Hmm? Oh nothing." Aidou said as he opened his book. "Now, open your textbook on page 167."

"I wonder how is she?" Yuuki though out loud.

"I'm sure she's fine and well although she always misses you." Aidou said as he stared at his book.

"How would you know?" Yuuki asked.

'Crap... Slip of tounge. I can't let her know that I've been keeping a watch on her everyday and every night.' Aidou thought to himself as he suddenly realized his mistake.

"Because you're her best friend. Isn't that only natural?" Aidou said casually. 'I hope she buys it...'

"Well, you do have a point." Yuuki said.

"Now, let's start with our lesson. Page 167." Aidou said.

Nothing...

Sigh. "If you manage to get 75/100, fine. I'll deliver your letter."

"You will?"

"No, because I doubt you would pass. Now, on with the lesson. I still have things to do." And that is keepinga n eye of a certain orange-y haired girl named Wakaba Sayori.

X-X-X

Aidou's POV *Still a flashback*

What is this feeling? Love? I'm in love?! With a human?! Well then damn... That's just... Damn! Can't I fall in lovewith somebody else?! Is this what happens when you always keep an eye on a girl every single day?! If it is, then I don't want it.

I am not in love with a human girl! Sure, she's cute. She's smart. She's a good person. Has good sense of humor. But I am a vampire. And she is a human. She gets old everyday, her body is fraile, she tends to forget things easily, she's prone to accidents, she will wither and she will die soon. There will never form a 'we' between the two of us. It just wouldn't work out! Okay?! It's stupid and gross. Just imagine dating a human prune! Eewy...

I need to get these out of me. I HAVE to forget about this. I GOT TO forget Wakaba Sayori before I lose my head.

X-X-X

"Kaname-sama?" I called out from outside his office.

"Yes?" Kaname-sama said, looking up from his paper work.

"Can I ask for a favor?" I asked, playing with my fingers.

"What is it?" He asked, setting down his pen.

"Can you delete my memory of ever meeting Wakaba Sayori?"

Yori, why do you have to re-appear when I have forgotten everything that I feel about you?

Author's rambling area: Hooray! I thought I wouldn't finish this. Sorry for the crappiness. I'm kind of sleepy from waking up every 5 in the morning and leaving at 6 for school and sleeping at 10 after doing my homeworks. If there are errors, please feel free to tell me.

Oh, in case some are confused, this is Aidou's flashback, a part of his memory. He had Kaname to delete Yori from his mind. 'Kay? Kay.

Anyways, please do review and please be patient because I am now back at school.
