"You're staring at him again." Kisetsu whispered. Elizabeth snapped out of her trance and looked up at her new friend. Elizabeth blushed hotly.
"I cannot help it. He's beautiful." Elizabeth whispered back. The two girls walked out to have a break.
Once they were out of earshot, Elizabeth sighed. "He's gorgeous."
"Yes, he is and you probably don't stand a chance." Kisetsu said with folded arms.
Elizabeth's shoulders slumped. "You're right...I probably don't." Elizabeth sighed.
"I was only joking, Riji-chan. You could if you tried." Kisetsu smiled. Elizabeth shook her head.
"If only that was possible." Elizabeth sighed. Kisetsu didn't know what to say. Elizabeth, a Level D vampire, was falling in love with a pureblood. "Can we go back to the Moon Dorm? I'm not used to these late nights. I've been up all day too."
"Yes, I'd want to go to bed if I'd been up all day." Kisetsu smiled.
Elizabeth smiled back and linked Kisetsu, putting her arm in her's. "Come on." they walked back, giggling and even skipping along the way in short bursts.
"Kise-chan, I will have to show you something. It's amazing." Elizabeth said. Kisetsu raised her eyebrows.
"Really? Well I am intruigued, Riji-chan." Kisetsu giggled. Elizabeth grinned back and pulled Kisetsu into her room, being careful not to step on Kisetsu's shoeless feet.
"Kuro-kun? Are you here?" Elizabeth said in a coaxing tone. Kuro popped his head out from under the bed.
"Hey, Riji-sama, why are you back so early?" he asked drowsily, yawning as only a cat could. He nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw Kisetsu. Had Kisetsu heard him speak?
"Kise-chan, this is Kuro-kun." Elizabeth said, pointing at the cat. Kisetsu raised an eyebrow.
"I didn't think pets were allowed." Kisetsu said. Elizabeth rolled her eyes.
"He's not a pet, merely a companion. Kuro's a vampire cat." Elizabeth clarified.
"That's what I call a pet." Kisetsu said flatly. Elizabeth sighed exasperatedly.
"Kise-chan, stop being so bloody pedantic!" Elizabeth rolled her eyes and walked over to Kuro. She picked him up and stroked his head. "Aren't you going to say something, Kuro-kun?" Elizabeth coaxed. Kuro looked up at her and gave her a look that meant "Do you think I'm really that stupid?" Elizabeth glared at him, her eyes glowing crimson, much to her surprise.
"Okay, okay!" Kuro exclaimed.
"Ha, you spoke!" Elizabeth said triumphantly. She grinned at Kisetsu. However the pureblood princess gave her a funny look.
"Riji-chan, all I heard was "meow"."
Elizabeth's face fell. "Oh...so it really is a special power." She hugged Kuro and then set him back on the floor.
"You have a special power?" Kisetsu asked sceptically. Elizabeth nodded. She sat down on the couch.
"It's funny...last week...I was human and I was back in England...living a normal life, in a normal school with normal friends...and teachers...now...I'm in a school where vampires are accepted in a Night Class..."
"The Day Class have no idea about us though. They just see us as...extremely beautiful and talented young people." Kisetsu said, sitting on beside her in the couch. "Anyway, enough about that. We have a ball where the whole school gets involved."
"A ball? Really?" Elizabeth asked, somewhat surprised. Kisetsu nodded.
"Do you have a dress?" she asked. Elizabeth shook her head.
"I shall have to go shopping." Elizabeth said.
Kisetsu shook her head vigourously. "No. You don't have to. I have lots of dresses that you could try on. My mother makes me pack them. She also disapproves of the fact that I don't wear shoes." Kisetsu said.
"Oh, I wonder why..." Elizabeth muttered.
Kisetsu appeared not to have heard her. "Come to my room." she grabbed Elizabeth's wrist and dragged her down the corridor to her room. Kisetsu's room was rather simplistic yet elegant and understated.
Kisetsu walked over to her wardrobe and threw the doors open. She pulled out a few dresses and threw them on the bed. She handed Elizabeth a dress and pushed her behind the screen.
"Get that on." Elizabeth nodded and proceeded to undress.
Five minutes later, Elizabeth stepped out. "How do I look?" Kisetsu looked up from painting her toe nails. The dress was long, reaching her ankles, made of silk and was pale blue in colour. It was a halter-neck, tying at the back of her neck and revealed some of her cleavage tastefully.
"You look really nice," Kisetsu commented, "You'll knock Kaname dead."
Elizabeth's head snapped up, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, you like him don't you?" Kisetsu asked cheekily. Elizabeth turned red and shook her head quickly.
"No, no, no! I don't like that smug bastard!" Elizabeth said quickly. "Besides, I don't know the guy!"
"Something tells me that if you don't know him, you can't really call him a 'smug bastard'."
"Well what I've seen of him he is..." Elizabeth said with her hands on her hips. "By the way, do you have any shoes to go with this dress? Oh, sorry, what was thinking? Silly question."
Kisetsu ignored her. "I do have shoes for it. My mother packed them."
Kisetsu walked over to her wardrobe and rummaged through her depleted shoe collection. She found a pair of silver stilettos and handed them to Elizabeth. "Get them on."
Elizabeth nodded and put them on. "I suppose I have a small crush on the guy...but that's all!" Elizabeth said, carrying on the conversation from before.
"Well, I think that it's got to start somewhere." Kisetsu smiled.
Elizabeth glared at her.
"He's a pureblood and I'm not."
"That doesn't stop me from being friends with you." Kisetsu said. Elizabeth saw her point.
"I know." Elizabeth smiled. "Thank you...for being my friend and giving me this dress."
"It's my pleasure." Kisetsu smiled. They hugged each other tightly. "Well, I think that you should get some sleep. It will be a long night tomorrow."
"Why? Is the ball tomorrow?"
"No, it's not for a good few weeks yet...it'll just be a long night is all."
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Elizabeth gather up her uniform and walked out, seriously wanting her bed.
