The truth

The sun was shining brightly on Cross Academy. Teddie walked though the outside corridors, greeting the class pupils with a smile, but on the inside she was exhausted. She and Dawn had been training all night for the battle with Rido. She didn't know when he would strike but all she could do was wait.
Something white caught her eye. She turned and gaped at the sight. A very embarrassed Yukki was being followed by Akatsuki, Aido and Rima.
`Kaname still asked them to protect her? Fair enough` she thought as she made her way over to them.
She tapped Yukki on the shoulder while walking. Yukki turned to her and smiled weakly "hey Teddie" she said
Teddie rose an eyebrow "are you all right?" she asked. Yukki nodded sheepishly "don't worry about me, I just haven't been getting much sleep." she said. Teddie smiled and patted her shoulder "I'll let you skip my double class today, get some sleep at that point ok" she said
Yukki's eyes lit up "Thanks Teddie nii Chan" she said. Teddie smiled and went the other direction to the library. She needed to do a little more research on some history about her powers. But one thing was on mind…
She perfectly knew what was wrong with her older foster sister. Yukki's memories were appearing which means it wouldn't be long until Kaname makes her a vampire…if he still planned to now that she and him are together.
She was so transfixed she bumped into Toga and fell to the floor. "Curse my short attention span" she mumbled making Toga chuckle "I can agree with that kiddo" he said as he held out a hand.
Teddie took it and he pulled her up "where you headed?" he asked
"the library. I want to see what I can find about my…"
She looked left and right to make sure no day class students were there. So it was clear "gift" she said
Catching on, Toga nodded "I'll give you a hand. Come on"
(library)
"find anything?" Toga asked, looking up at the floating girl "nope. Just some old records up here" she said
Toga sighed and kept browsing. He suddenly heard the door opening. "Teddie! hide! Someone's coming" he whispered. Teddie floated higher and hid on top of the book case. Toga hid behind one.
Teddie saw who it was at the door `it's only Takuma` she thought. Until the mismatched eyed one came beside him
`Crap it's Shiki, stay hidden Toga sensei` she said telepathically to Toga.
Toga blended into the shadows and watched.
"so why are we here Rido Sama?" Takuma asked. Rido/Shiki smirked "I just want to browse…and see if there are any books on telepathic humans" he said
Teddie narrowed her eyes when she heard that `what does he want with it?` she wondered
If only she could tap into his mind…oh wait, one problem, he's a pure blood with a dark aura so that plus mind reading = a lot of pain and mind control. she shook her head `no thank you i really don't want to go through that again` she thought
As Rido/Shiki browsed through the shelves Teddie quietly floated to another book case so that he didn't sense her presence.
She saw an open window and smiled to herself. But first…
`Takuma!` she mentally yelled
She silently giggled when she heard Takuma yell in fright
"what's wrong?" Rido/Shiki asked. Takuma nervously chuckled "n-n-nothing Rido- Sama" he said. Rido/Shiki grunted and continued to browse through the books.
`Teddie? Why are you in my head?` Takuma asked
`I'm in the library where you and RIDO are` Teddie hissed
Takuma's face paled `how did you know about him?` he asked
`no time. Distract him while I get me and Toga outta her` she said.
Takuma wasted no time and led Rido/Shiki to a far off end of the library. Teddie swooped down and grabbed Toga under the arms and flew out the window. They were on the first floor and no students were about thankfully. They landed on the grass with a thud.
"what now?" Toga asked. Teddie's face became fearful.
"let's just say, if that guy finds that book before I do, I'm gonna be in a lot of trouble" she said.

(Dawn)
She sighed in frustration. Takuma wasn't talking to her at all and it was getting her upset. She decided to take a long walk to clear her head.
(outside)
Dawn sat at the fountain and sighed in relaxation. But her mind was still on Takuma. Sure she knows he has to stick with the pureblood bastered Rido…but he didn't have to completely blank her out.
She spotted the golden haired male himself, walking towards her. She sprung up and ran to him and hugged him. He hugged her back tightly "why are you blanking me out all of a sudden?" she asked
Takuma sighed "I'm really sorry Dawn Hime but I've just been very busy…with school work" he said softly
Dawn pulled back "School work my ass! It's because you have to stick with that dam pureblood Rido to make your old devil of a grandfather happy!" she hissed. Takuma's eyes widened "how did you know that?" he demanded
"because you're a fuckin manga in my world!" She shouted. Realising what she had done, she put her hands over her mouth and stepped back. Takuma was speechless "y-y-your…"
Dawn sighed "yes…I was meant to keep it a secret…but I just snapped right now. I wanted to tell you but"
She gazed in his eyes "I was afraid that you'd hate me for not saying…I'm sorry"
She turned to leave. But Takuma grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his chest "I don't hate you Hime. I'm just shocked…are you really from another world?" he asked
Dawn nodded "yup. You and everyone here are in a Manga and a Anime. That's how me and Teddie are in the exact place at the exact time, like when those level C's tried to take Zero away the other night…and how I know about HIM" she explained
"ahh so that's how Teddie knew" he said in realisation. Dawn gave him a funny look.
Takuma chuckled and stroked her hair "Ask her...and I believe you. You never lie to me" he said. He tilted her chin up
"I'm blanking you out to protect you. I don't want him to know about you" he said
"I understand. Promise not to tell anyone this…ESPECIALLY Kaname. We can wait until Teddie finally says to him.
Takuma nodded "agreed my love. I need to go. Ja ne Dawn Hime. I love you"
He kissed her lips and walked in the direction of the moon dorms. Dawn smiled to herself `glad to get that off my chest` she thought. Then another thought came to her `uh oh…what's Ted gonna say?`
0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
"SAY WHAT!" Teddie screamed from her room, making most of the night class jump, including Kaname.
"remind me not to get on that bad side" Aido said nervously
"agreed on that" Akatsuki said.
Kaname glanced up at the door `I wonder what Dawn did now?`
(Teddie's room)
"I'm sorry Ted, I just snapped" Dawn said with a sheepish smile. Teddie breathed in and out as flying objects went back into their place "sorry Dawnie. Did he swear that he wont say to anyone?" She asked
Dawn grinned "yup! Not Even to your guy…cause your gonna tell him" she said
Teddie moved back a bit and rose an eyebrow "Silly best friend say what?" she said
"yup! Your gonna tell him!" she said. Teddie shook her head "noooooo way! He'll think I'm crazy!" she said
"Takuma believed me!" Dawn protested
"Kaname might not!" Teddie argued
(Downstairs)
"err should we do something? They've been bickering for twenty minutes" Takuma said
"na. let's see how much longer they can keep bickering" Aido said
"what are they even arguing about?" Shiki/Rido asked boardly
Everyone shrugged, because all they could hear was muffled shouts
(Ted's room)
"tell him!"
"no"
"tell him"
"no!"
"please you have to!"
"Ok! ok! I'll tell him" Teddie screamed. Dawn grinned in satisfaction "ok. See you later!" she said cheerfully an ran out the door. Teddie growled and ran after her "get back here, I'm not done with you yet!" she yelled.
(downstairs)
Kaname could hear thudding footsteps approaching. He saw Dawn run downstairs and dash right out the door. Teddie came around just as she left "where'd she go?" she demanded. Everyone pointed to the front door. Teddie sighed "I'll get her later" she mumbled as she wet back to her room and slammed the door shut. Kaname slightly cringed "someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning" Ruka said
Kaname shook his head and went up stairs to confront the angry girl. He knocked on his lovers door "Teddie? Are you alright?"
He opened the door and found Teddie curled up on her bed. He walked in and lay next to her. He started stroking her long red hair, knowing it relaxes her. "What's wrong love?" he asked. Teddie turned to face him. He circled his arms around her "I…have something to tell you" she whispered
