My Husband Is A Night Class Student

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knights.

Chapter 10: "My Fiancee"

Akatsuki sat quietly and leaned against the tree trunk with Hinata sitting in between his legs and leaning against his chest comfortably and his arms, protectively, around her small frame. Filling in themselves the peace they found in each other's presence. Again later, they will have to face everyone. It would be hell but at least they have each other and maybe it wont be so bad.

"Akatsuki..." Hinata murmured against his chest, she wasn't trying to get his attention. She just wanted to say it. Say his name. To be able to call him like no others.

When Akatsuki heard his name from the love of his life he smirked to himself and felt the happiness that filled his heart just by her uttering his name. He nuzzled his face on top her head slowly and gently and smelled her scent.

Cherry Blossoms with a slight scent of strawberries. Unique, pure and innocent scent that will only come from her and no one else.

Closing his eyes he nuzzled his face again making Hinata lean to him more. Classes started already since an hour ago and he doesn't care. Kain tighten his embrace a little making her feel secure,warm and cozy. Hinata smiled against his chest at the feel of his strong arms surrounding and protecting her.

Kain looked over when he finally noticed the destroyed item sitting just across them. Hinata was holding it the whole time and he wondered. It looked like a gift.

'To whom?'

Suddenly, he felt jealous but quickly, mentally shook the feeling off.

"Hinata..."

"Hmm?"

"What was the one that you were holding awhile ago?" Hinata's eyes widen. "Its on the ground. I'm sorry I made you drop it." Suddenly, Hinata broke from his embrace almost catching him off guard as she crawled over quickly snatching the item off the ground and hold it against her chest, her back facing him. Akatsuki raised an eye brow, curious. Really, what is it.

Hinata blushed ten shades as she slowly turn to face him. Akatsuki smiled softly and shook his head, trying not to laugh. He reached for her and pulled gently so that she is sitting again in front of him. Hinata looked down avoiding his gaze.

"Really, Hinata, what is it?" He couldn't help but be amused.

Slowly, she laid it down on top of her lap so that he could see it. Akatsuki looked down to find a belated valentine chocolate gift. His eyes slowly widen as he stared.

Still not looking, she explained in a low, guilty tone. "I-I was going to give it to you...but,...I failed. I didn't have the courage like the others do. I don't remember well anymore what came over me after that but...I really wanted to give it to you. I...I wanted to thank you for saving me last time, so-" Hinata stopped and looked surprise when she saw his right hand lift the item with such gentle and care. His left hand move to open it carefully but with her within his arms. Hinata watched, dumbfounded.

'She was there...but why didn't I see her. I should have sense her...' Once he pulled the loose ribbon off he lifted the cover slowly. Hinata gasped, embarrassed, when several chocolate crumbs fell on top of her lap. She really did a number on her valentine gift. She then tensed as Akatsuki completely took the cover off.

The scent of the chocolates almost filled the air around them. He could tell that its delicious. He couldn't distinguish the design of the chocolates but that doesn't matter really to him. 'She made it...just for me...' He placed it back on her lap, his left hand slowly rest on her waist.

Hinata turned red. "Akatsuki...i-its o.k you don't have to-" she stopped as he picked up one chocolate that is half smashed and tasted it casually but she didn't see the happiness and satisfaction in his eyes because his expression looked unreadable. Hinata starts to get nervous.

Is he savoring it or...does it taste really bad. Unlike humans, vampires have very sensitive senses. Their taste,...their smell,...their sense of hearing-wah! There is no doubt that they have more than that!

Hinata swallowed quietly and looked up. "Uhm...how is it...?"

Suddenly, he smiled and kissed her gently on the forehead. Hinata blushed ten shades not knowing what to do. "Thank you."

"Eh? But...its ruined and...its late." She said the last part in a whisper but Akatsuki could hear her clearly. He shook his head. "You are never too late." Hinata's eyes widen slightly and then smiled, feeling all of her worries and doubts disappear.

'Come to think of it I didn't eat those fan girl's chocolates...' Akatsuki thought, remembering giving it to the servants instead.

"You should try becoming a chef someday." He praised. Hinata blinked twice. "Its very delicious."

"Maybe. But I guess that will be nice." Suddenly, she saw an image in herself in her head that made her blushed. Akatsuki blinked once wondering why she is blushing a lot but then smiled again thinking that for as long its because of him. Slowly, he picked up the next chocolate piece and soon finished it all. He tried feeding her one so that she will know what he really meant but refuses it and that its for him.

His arms thighten slightly around her when he felt her shiver. "Akatsuki, don't you think...its getting late?" Akatsuki looked around and nodded. He has no plans to go to class, anyways he left his books back in the dorm.

While standing up he helped her as well on her feet and did not let go of her hand. "Let's go back to the chairman."

Hinata shook her head. "No. I think I should retreat to my own room in the sun dorm. I feel much more comfortable there." She said and felt her voice weak as she threw the empty box in the nearest trash bin.

Akatsuki nodded in understanding but frowned at the sight of Hinata's pale skin. His worries grew more when Hinata placed a hand on her forehead as she struggle to stand. "Hinata, are you alright? What's wrong?" He asked worriedly, making her look up. Her eyes were blood shot ,with eyebug underneath her lower eye lid, from all the stress. Why didn't he notice it earlier?

Hinata smiled weakly and hold his hand to assure him. "Don't worry...I'm alright."

Akatsuki kept the frown on his face telling her without speaking that he doesn't believe her. She is trying hard not to shake under his gaze, her hands are cold enough, and there is barely any more strength within her.

"Akatsuki, really... I'm alrighh-"

"Hinata!" Akatsuki caught her in his arms as she suddenly fell unconcious.

…...

"Do we really have to tell her?" Mr. Daidouji asked again for the 20th time. Mrs. Daidouji glared at him, extremely annoyed. When he saw the look on her face he sweat dropped and sighed in defeat when suddenly, the door to the living room open.

Mr. Daidouji stood up from his chair when he sensed a vampire presence. "Kain Akatsuki."

Akatsuki bowed respectfully before speaking. He really couldn't believe that he is now facing his soon to be father-in-law. After taking Hinata back to her room, the sun dorm president was nice enough to accompany and guide him and was even more glad that no one else was around, he stayed for three hours watching over her.

He wasn't tired. The sun dorm president/student council president, he has to admit, was quite an interesting guy. He is probably the same age as Kaname. Not only that he felt something really specail about him. He looked extremely cunning. It is said that the best among the best is chosen to be the sun dorm president. Kiryuu Zero was a voted candidate but refused the position. He wondered one time if Kaname and him knows each other.

Fujimoto Shibuya Kazuya. The sun dorm president and the president of the student council.

'The first and the last time I heard about him was four years ago. I doubt there was any communication between the dorm presidents. The only person Kaname consult about certain cases/subjects was the chairman. Sometimes the prefects...the hunter-senseis. But other than them no one has seen the moon dorm president talk with the sun dorm president.'

What really surprised him is that he didn't find his presence disturbing and didn't say anything within the lines of law breaking. Of course, night class students aren't aloud in the sun dorm. After three hours he found him waiting outside the door. He wasn't really sure if he was waiting there the whole time because he didn't sense anyone's presence. He is so strange.

Kain watched as Mr. Daidouji's expression softly sadden. "So, have you talked to her?" Akatsuki nodded. Mrs. Daidouji heaved a long sigh.

'This is going to take awhile.'

"So, it has been decided."

Akatsuki nodded again.

"Akatsuki. Do you mind if we call you by your name?" Mr. Daidouji asked kindly, sounding calm. That's when his parents came in just in time. Akatsuki gave a small smile and nodded once more before speaking. "Before I say anything else..."

…...

"Ne...He is not coming today, is he?" Aidou asked randomly. Ruka huffed, irritated.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"He is with her."

Aidou glared. "Does it have to be like this? What are they thinking? Him marr-"

"Aidou." Kaname called, interrupting him.

"Kaname-sama."

"That's enough. Go back to your seat." He ordered without looking up from the book he is reading.

"A-yes, Kaname-sama."

Takuma stood up from his sit and stood quietly beside Kaname once the teacher left the room. "Seiren reported to me just awhile ago. It seems that the Hinata-san's parents finally agreed."

Kaname closed the book and stood near the huge windows. "Ichijou, make preparations."

…...

Hinata slowly opened her eyes and found her lampshade on. She could sense someone sitting beside her and tiredly looked. Her eyes widen.

"Fujimoto-Ry(u)ojo (dorm president)?"

Kazuya smiled calmly and bowed slightly to apologize for surprising her. "My apologise, the chairman instructed me to look after you for awhile."

"The chairman?" Hinata sat up. 'Akatsuki...maybe he left already.'

Kazuya nodded once. "I'm also here to inform you that, after your decision and agreement with Kain-san, you will be moving in to the moon dorm tonight." Hinata's eyes widen in surprise but before she could say anything he continued.

"About your situation, yes, I am aware of it." He quickly answered her unspoken question which left her speechless.

Kazuya watched her for a second and then chuckled a little as he stood which made Hinata realized that she was starring at him.

"Everyone is expecting you in an hour. I'm sure Kain-san will be there. Do you need any help in packing?"

Hinata looked down on top of her blanket. After finally making her own decisions-now this. Its too sudden. And now, the dorm president even knows her situation. Suddenly, she gasped softly.

'Wait... does that mean...he knows about the night class students?' Hinata slowly looked at Kazuya who is still smilling calmly at her, as if everything is o.k.

"Ryuojo?"

"Yes?"

"Do-do you...I mean..."

Kazuya closed his eyes and walked to the nearest drawer. "Daidouji-san, I think you have to start packing now."

Hinata blinked twice. Forgetting her thoughts for a moment.

"They are waiting."

Hinata move down from her bed and walked beside him. "Would you like me to help you?"

Hinata thought for a moment before nodding slowly. If he helps it would be faster. The faster the better.

"Alright then. Where do I start?"

…...

Once she finished packing her things Kazuya helped her carry her laugages down the stairs where the chairman, Zero, and Yuuki were waiting.

"Chairman?"

"Ah-Hinata-chan! It looks like you are ready." he smiled at her sheepishly.

"Hinata, Akatsuki wont be with you for a little while so Kaname instructed Ichijou-sempai to escort you to the moon dorm." Yuuki explained.

"Ichijou-sempai?"

Yuuki nodded. "He is waiting near the gate."

"Take good care of yourself, Daidouji-san." Hinata turned around, feeling a little embarrased and bowed respectfully. "Ah-Kazuya-sama! Thank you so much for everthing!"

Kazuya waved his hand. "Hinata-san, please don't worry about it." Hinata looked up and smiled then her expression turn to worry.

"I'm moving into the moon dorm now does that mean that I will be taking the same classes as the night class students?"

The chairman sighed quietly. "Both your parents and Kain-kun's parents decided that its for the best. Its best that Kain-kun is at your side at all times to watch over you."

"But how about the-" Hinata stopped before she could say it. If the day class students finds out that she is about to marry one of their favorite sempai who knows what kind of wrath they would prepare for her. Both Yuuki and Kazuya smiled at this.

"Hinata-chan, don't worry about them." she said patting her on the shoulder. "They wont know a thing for as long that nobody mentions anything." Hinata looked at everyone. Despite everything that has happened they kept on supporting her, even Zero who is good at not showing it.

Zero murmured something under his breath in annoyance and quickly received a hard nudge from Yuuki. Hinata and the chairman sweatdropped at the sight.

…...

Takuma waited near the sun dorm gates quietly right after preparing a new room. He turned around when he heard the gates open.

"Ichijou-sempai..." Hinata greeted him quietly. They have to avoid being heard by anyone. Zero, Yuuki and the chairman stood behind her.

"Daidouji-san. Konbanwa." Takuma greeted her kindly and tried to ignore the stare Zero is giving him. He walked smoothly towards her. "May I help you with your luagauges?"

Hinata looked down slightly to hide her blush but Takuma didn't fail to see it. "Eh?Ah,...yes, please." Takuma chuckled at her shyness.

"Well, since Takuma-kun is here, we'll take our leave now." The chairman said finally slightly dragging Zero with him. He sweatdropped when he felt Zero's death glare. Yuuki giggled to ease the small tension that is slowly forming the two. "Hinata, see ya!"

Hinata waved them goodbye, looking stiff along side Takuma who sweatdropped at the sight of the "unusual family". Even though they only came to see her off still she was glad.

Takuma sighed. "Well then, shall we go?" Hinata looked up, really why do all night class students have to be tall? "Hai!" (Yes!)

As they walked towards the moon dorm Takuma open-up a topic to talk about so that she wont feel nervous or stress out from thinking too much. Just the thought of moving into the moon dorm must have given her a slight surprise. If she is troubled...she is completely bad at hiding it.

"Uhm,...I arranged a private room for you and Akatsuki and its in the same floor where Kaname's room is."

Hinata snapped away from her thoughts and looked over. "Eh?" 'Did he just say what I think he just said?' "What do you mean, Ichijou-sempai?" Her voice shaking.

"You can call me Takuma if you like." he gave her a smile and she can't help but nod in reply. "You see, since you are Akatsuki's future wife there is no need for the both of you to have different rooms." Right after that explanation-line Hinata's head pop with steams and turned from shades of pink to red. Takuma continued. "After all he has got to keep an eye on you at all times. And rest assured, we already found someone to be Hanabusa's new roommate. I hope you will like all the-" Takuma stopped abruptly and sweatdropped at the sight. Hinata completely looked like a steaming, red tomato. "Eeto...Hinata-chan, are you alright?" 'I wonder if I said something weird?'

Hinata continued to be in her won thoughts when Takuma noticed the rest of the night class approaching with Kaname leading the whole group.

From a long distance they could already see them both. Takuma looked worried not for himself but for Hinata. Kaname, Shiki, Rima...and him might be o.k with the way things are but the rest are against of many things from the situation. Yes, a lot of things.

Takuma move so that he is standing right beside Hinata. Hinata saw him and looked behind, she shuddered unexpectedly. Her face almost turned pale quickly. She wasn't ready to face them. 'The night class...'

Just about two feet away stood the night class. Kaname calmly smiled and greeted the girl. "Konbanwa (Good evening), Daidouji-san."

'Kaname-sempai...'

Hinata slowly turn around but wasn't able to reply quickly enough. Ruka glared at her and it didn't help the growing tension in the atmosphere. Shiki took one pocky stick from his pocky box as he watch. "Hmm... so that's the girl they were talking about." He said at the same time eating his pocky chocolate with Rima. "Isn't it obvious?" Rima said in return, both expressionless.

Takuma tried to smile at the least. "It looks like class is over. Mina, meet Daidouji Hinata. She will be staying with us in the moon dorm from now on." Takuma said, cheerfully. Hinata quickly bowed. "Y-Yoroshiku onegaishimasu, mina-san! (Please, take good care of me / Its a pleasure to meet all of you!)

Kaname move so that he is right in front of her. Hinata straighten up and was surprise at his advance. She blushed slightly. 'He..is so near!'

"Hinata. Can I call you by your name?" He asked gently, his eyes mesmorizing. But Hinata knew he means no harm. She looked down unsure but nodded anyways. She doesn't really care if anyone calls her by her fisrt or last name. Kaname chuckled at her antics.

"EHHHHHH?" Many exclaimed from behind. Ruka almost screamed. Takuma froze in his spot, not believing his ears.

"Please, you don't have to be scared. If you need anything just ask Ichijou or if not you may come to me directly."

Hinata looked into his eyes. 'Kaname-sempai...he's so nice but why do I still feel scared? Is it because he is the pureblood?'

Kaname waited patiently for her to reply and smiled like he always does. Hinata's right hand turned into fist trying to gather all her courage to reply...normally. She still have long way to go, this is just the beginning. Just like what her future husband predicted. There shouldn't be any problem if the Kuran Kaname is around.

'Get a grip Hinata. Even if Akatsuki is not here be strong! You can't go on if you are like this!' He wont hiurt you...he wont and his words doesn't lie...'

Hanabusa who was watching her every move gasped when he saw her expression change. Hinata looked up slowly at the tall vampire and flashed him a genuine smile that caused the pureblood to blink in slight surprise. He wasn't really expecting that. "Yes, Kaname-sempai. I will." Takuma saw the change and was pleased. There is something really special about this girl after all and for some reason despite the odds things seems to be more interesting this time.

Hanabusa frowned and lowered his head so that the showdows would cover his eyes. Why can't he accept it? Will it hurt his pride so much once she becomes part of their family tree? What really made his uncle and auntie agree to this arrangements? Its just so strange! Now that things have been decided why can't he be there, right beside her?

Shiki turned his attention to Hanabusa with interest when he made no reaction whatsoever the whole time. 'Is he really going to ignore her...? ...Hanabusa, you...'

…...

Fire surrounded Akatsuki as he faced his grandfather. He returned home with his parents so that he could explain everything to his grandfather face to face but not everthing. Akatsuki narrowed his eyes at this. It looks like Kaname Kuran still have control over him.

"How dare you! You're the only future head of this family and yet, this happens! How do you really expect others to accept that!" The elder screamed. Akatsuki only stared back with a passive look across his face that really annoyed the elder to his bones.

"I don't approve of this! When you get back dispose of her immediately! Do you hear me?"

Akatsuki smirked. The elder raised an eyebrow at this frustratingly. "Even though it means disobeying Kuran Kaname-sama?"

"What?"

"Why do I have to repeat myself all the time?" Akatsuki said with less emotion in his voice. The old geezer have always had his way on how things run. In and out. You could say he makes most of the decisions so to keep his family's status within the noble vampire society. Even if you are a noble vampire that doesn't mean that you have the same social treatment. "Whether you like it or not I will marry her. What happened back there is already done. Shouldn't you be blaming yourself for not telling me anything? Mother and father admitted that they were told by you not to tell me a word about it."

The elder glared at him, daring him to say another word. He kept it. But it wasn't his idea. It was...

"Why you-never mind! Leave this room!"

"Really?"

"Do whatever you want! Now leave!"

Akatsuki knew he was serious and quickly made his way out, closing the door behind him quietly.

The old man sat on his chair while placing a hand on his forehead. After all the things he have work so hard this happens. And, why in the world did he followed that ancient geezer in the first place? His hand turned into fist drawing blood, not caring if it stained the carpet floor.

Akatsuki closed the door behind him quietly. Actaully, he wanted to slam it shut but thought of it quickly. Hinata's smiling face suddenly just flashed back in his mind. By now, she is probably waiting in the moon dorm. He has to go back. His business is finish here. Next, would be the hardest but for now he has to go back and this time by her side.

"Onii-chan,...are you really going back?" A 12 year old girl stood to his right side about ten feet away while holding a cute teddy bear. Kain Zeelyna, his third cousin.

He smiled warmly at her and motioned for her to come to him. She walked slowly until she reached his arms embracing him. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in your room having your favorite snacks as usual?" Onii-chan, she always calls him that and she doesn't play with anyone, except with him. You could say she doesn't have a playmate. Their other cousins are busy doing whatever they were told to. No one really knows if she is happy with it even he doesn't. Before he went to Cross Academy he only made sure that he is around whenever she wanted to play with someone.

She shook her head. "Onii-chan,... welcome home." Akatsuki's eyes widen. "Zeelyna..."

"Don't go, Onii-chan."

Akatsuki move so that he is facing her. "Zeelyna?" She looked up at him showing her emotionless expression. She could almost remind you of Shiki and Rima. "Stay here."

Akatsuki almost heave a sigh. For a moment he felt exhausted and the last thing he wanted was for someone to stop him but he wasn't expecting it to be Zeelyna. She is innocent. She doesn't know anything at the moment.

"Zeelyna,...I have to go back to Cross Academy since classes are not yet over, its also Kuran-sama's order." His voice sounded bitter at the end of his sentence.

"Kuran Kaname-sama..." Yes, she knows him. Pretty much just about his name and position in the vampire society. "...order." Akatsuki nodded and stood up. "I'm sorry but we will play together again when I come back. I promise."

Zeelyna shook her head again and looked down, hiding her face under her bangs. "Its not that...onii-chan."

"Then what is it, Zeelyna?"

She didn't respond nor move for a moment which made Akatsuki worried. Then suddenly, before he could say another word, she ran past him catching him off guard. He placed a hand on the wall to support himself if there is one thing she is good at it was running. She is quite known in the family for her speed.

"It's Nothing!"

Akatsuki blinked his eyes twice not sure what to make of the situation. There are times when she is either being shy or stubborn. Akatsuki sigh and smiled slightly at the direction she disappeared to. Its a promise. He will play with her when things are settled...that is if she still wants to. Akatsuki turn around facing the other direction and left quietly. ''The Scarlet Thread...even if you are the youngest among the rest, if you are not from the direct blood line of the ancestor, your lucky enough not to get infected with this curse.'

…...

"Uhm..Ichijou-sempai..."

"I told you already, 'Takuma' is alright. You can call me by my name."

Hinata watched his back for a moment following him to the dinning room. "Takuma..."

"There! That's much more like it." He laughed. Hinata giggled. Takuma opened the door leading to the dinning room and Hinata was surprised to see a dinning room that looked like one of those dinning rooms you see in a mansion. Several round, golden brown tables with four chairs in each; huge, long French windows with rich, royal jet black curtains; a small rose vase on each tables; and the floor made out of rich marble. What is this place?

"This is the dinning room. If you feel hungry you just have to call one of them." Takuma explained. "One of them?" Hinata turn around and froze, her face turning pale. Behind Takuma about twenty servants in uniform stood and bowed politely.

"Kain-sama, its a pleasure to meet you finally." Hinata blinked, confused and looked from right to left but didn't see Akatsuki. "Kain?"

"They are referring to you, Hinata-chan." Takuma chuckled. "Eh?" She exclaimed and blushed. "B-but! I am not married!"

"Yet."

"Ichijou-sempai, please!"

"Takuma." He grinned.

Hinata almost rolled her eyes. She looked at the servants and noticed that there are still more from behind but they dressed differently. Black? How come she can't see their faces and not only that... they looked creepy! People in black cloak with hood. 'Are they servants too?'

Takuma clapped his hands looking excited. "Well, since we are here, is there anything you like to eat?" Leading her to a table near the windows. "The view here is great you could see the moon dorm lake from here." Hinata nodded in agreement. "So, any request?"

"Uhm..." Takuma watched her and waited patiently.

"Can I make them?"

Takuma nodded, looking excited. "Yes! You can make them cook anything you want." Hinata sweatdropped and shook her head. "No. I mean cook dinner."

Takuma sweatdropped this time and almost lost his footing. The servants watched with interest. "Hinata-chan?" 'Did I hear her right?'

"Ah-I'm sorry!" She quickly apologize. "Its just that I usually cook my own food. I also make my own lunch." The servants made a sound of awe and Takuma stared at her in surprise. He haven't heard anyone cook their own food.

"Hmmm,... well, I do not see anything wrong with it, though." Takuma said, looking thoughful.

"Ichijou-sama..." The servants sweatdropped.

"I enjoy cooking."

"Eh?" Takuma looked over. Hinata smiled warmly, giggling to herself slightly. She really looked confident, enough. With this Takuma felt convinced. "I see. Well then, show me."

~~Forty-minutes later..

"Hinata-chan..."

Hinata sat quietly across Takuma while eating. "Ichijou-sempai, is there something wrong with the food?"

Takuma opened his eyes, that are twinkling so bright like stars, and beamed at her. Hinata sweatdropped. His been like that the moment he tasted the food. "Hinata-chan! This is just so delicous!"

All the servants nodded on the other side eating their share. Hinata didn't want anyone watching her while eating so she made as many as she can for all of them but...

"Uhm, there is more back in the kitchen if you like..." ...she made quite a lot than she expected. Takuma only nodded excitedly and she wasn't sure if he was listening. "Ichijou-sempai..."

"Takuma." he grinned at her.

"Yes?"

"Hmmm...what is this?" Shiki suddenly spoke from behind startling Hinata. All of the servants quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Ah! Shiki, you have got to taste these!"

"Taste what?"

"Hinata made dinner would you like to have a taste? Oh! Hinata-chan, this is Shiki. Senri Shiki. He is also my roommate."

Hinata looked at Shiki with her big eyes which he didn't notice when they saw her outside, she stood up and bowed politely. "Ah-its a pleasure to meet you, Senri-sempai."

"Yo." He simply replied, his expressionless face still in place. 'Her eyes...how rare...its almost like Yuuki Cross's.'

...

Six o'clock in the morning...

Akatsuki finally returned to Cross Academy. Since the sun is nearly up some of the day class students are already out. Mostly its the boys so there weren't many day class girls. It was easy to pass by all of them without getting notice, he wasn't really sure if all of them are just being dense. About eighty percent of the day class boys are known to be not interested with the night class students. Its probably because the night class students gets most of the attention anyways.

He sighed tiredly once the moon dorm gate keeper closed the gates behind him. Its been a long day but...its nothing compared to what she indured and hoped that she is sleeping peacefully in their room. Akatsuki blushed at the thought and quickly mentally shook his head. It can't be helped. He has to watch over her.

Akatsuki took a deep breath as he opened the door and went in. He narrowed his eyes when he saw he is not alone. It looks like most of the night class students decided to spend the last hours in the parlour area before going to bed. When they noticed his presence most of them started to murmur to themselves. Not that he cared.

"Ah! Akatsuki! You're back." Takuma greeted happily coming down from the stairs. Akatsuki just looked over, he scanned the area quickly and was glad that Hinata is not among them. She is probably in their room. Not even Hanabusa is present. That guy is acting really moody nowadays.

"Ne~ Akatsuki, come over here and taste one of Hinata's special cookies." This got Akatsuki's attention. Takuma walked towards the center table and placed four chocolate cookies on one small plate. Akatsuki blinked once. "After I gave Hinata-chan a tour of the moon dorm she made dinner and these." he said as he handed him the plate. From the smell Akatsuki could already tell that Hinata really made it. The cookies have different kinds of shapes and each have several dark brown chocolates in them.

"You should taste them! They are really delicous!" Takuma excplaimed.

Akatsuki narrowed his eyes at him suspicously. "Vice president,...you seem to be enjoying yourself."

"Well, you didn't mention how good Hinata is at cooking and in baking. They are like made by pro."

Akatsuki looked over the vampires behind the vice president and finally noticed the huge cookie plate on the table. All them tasted it? Akatsuki suddenly felt a pang of jealousy but quickly hide it.

"You are all here because of this?"

Takuma scratched the back of his head. "Well, not exactly. Kaname was just here awhile ago...explaining things."

"I see."

Akatsuki looked sharply to his left when he sense someone approaching. A new student? Takuma looked over to where he was looking. "Oh! Akatsuki, meet Rihito Yuuri. He is now the new roommate of Hanabusa."

Rihito bowed politely while Akatsuki just nod his head to him. It looks like the dorm president found someone quickly to take his place. He wondered if Hanabusa is alright with him.

"Akatsuki, aren't you going to eat Hinata-chan's cookies?"

Akatsuki walked pass him and sat on one of the sofas with Takuma following behind. "Akatsuki you should smile a little more or else Hinata-chan would be sadden." Akatsuki looked over at Takuma as he ate. "Please, vice president...I'm tired."

Takuma chuckled. "Everyone liked them, ne~!"

All them sweatdropped at the vice president. Out of all of them he loved Hinata's cookies the most but they all admitted that they liked them too, they just have a hard time saying it to the girl.

"Ano, Kain-sama?"

Akatsuki looked at the maid in front of him carrying a new set of uniform. "Yes?"

"This is the new uniform for Hinata-sama. The tailor said to specifically give it to you. It just arrive just this moment."

Just in time, Akatsuki finished eating and placed the plate quietly on the table while standing up. "I see. Thank you." With that the maid left.

"Ichijou, where is Hinata?"

"She fell asleep an hour ago, she's in bed." He answered. "Where are you going?" he asked when Akatsuki started to walk up the stairs. "I told you already that I'm tired. Good night."

…...

Mr. and Mrs. Daidouji drove back home without much of choice. The plan to tell Hinata the truth about their job was postponed. Everything.

"That boy is...quite smart." Mr. Daidouji stated.

"Do you have to say the obvious?"

"We did our best to avoid complete contact with the vampire hunter association so that our identity is well hidden, yet, he found out. Just at one glance." he manuvered the vehicle to the right and is now facing village.

"I'm still confused. The fact that he doesn't want Hinata to learn about our job. What is he thinking, stopping us." Mrs. Daidouji said, her voice sounded really annoyed.

"He explained it very clearly, honey."

"WHICH PART?" Mrs. Daidouji looked at him evilly that caused him to sweatdropped at the sight.

"Alright, alright!" He stopped the car just in front of their house and turned off the engine. He sighed. Mrs. Daidouji narrowed her eyes at him.

"The situation was already hard enough to handle, for Hinata's sake telling her everything will become additional burden on her shoulder. Not only will the vampire society disapprove of them being together Hinata's life might as well be in danger if they found out that she is from a vampire hunter family. His father and mother have already approve but the rest of the clan is a big question mark. The vampire council will never approve of it too. A noble vampire marrying a vampire hunter is an insult to both the societies. The human society and the vampire society." Mr. Daidouji explained, his voice unusually serious.

"But...she is not born to be one. She is not even a full pledge vampire hunter. Nothing!" She responded, sounding guilty. 'The moment she was born I knew it when I laid eyes on her. She is not fit to be a vampire hunter. But what could her fate be if its not that?'

"Thanks to Cross-san we managed this far without getting this job we are just normal farmers along with the whole villagers. We used to work in the hunter's association but before our identities is well known Cross helped us erase all of those documents as if we weren't connected in the first place. With that solve we were able to give Hinata a normal life. I do not want to think what might happen if they found out about us. Our real identity might endanger our only child. We might as well follow his terms."

"Our child,huh? If only that were true, ne~honey."

…...

Akatsuki opened the door to his and Hinata's room quietly and closed it behind him. 'Hinata should be...' He froze suddenly when he opened his eyes and saw Hinata laying on the bed sleeping soundlessly and wearing an orange-red colored, sleeveless night gown. How come she doesn't have a blanket over her?

He blushed mindlessly at the sight of his future wife in her night gown. His eyes squinted when the sun rays reached his eyes through the small opening of the curtains. Day classes will start soon enough. 'The classes she used to attend.' Akatsuki mentally shook his head and tried to look the other way but went to tuck her in. 'Really. What is she thinking sleeping without a blanket. The morning breeze is actually quite cold. Didn't she think she might get a cold?' He should be going to bed soon enough and get some rest. He grabbed some clothes from his closet and went to the bathroom to change.

Inside he opened the faucet letting the water run as he took off his coat and loosed the bottons of his polo. "How tirring..." he mummbled to himself and washed his face. 'Now that I have done the things that I could in one day I'm surprise that things went...quite fast. The only thing that is left to do is wait for them to decide the date. Starting tomorrow things will be different. Everything went according to plan just as Kuran Kaname said.'

Akatsuki groaned at the thought of the pureblood. Come to think of it. He is the only one who really knows everything that has happened. Even that. Did he really turned into a pureblood just by drinking Hinata's blood? And not only that...Hinata's blood...what is it?

Hinata opened her eyes slowly sensing someone in the room. 'Someone...is here.' She squinted her eyes to wipe out the blurry sight, helping it with her right hand.

"Hinata, did I wake you up?"

Hinata moaned feeling the cold breeze comfined in the room as she sat up the blanket slid down to her waist. She looked up and came face to face with Akatsuki. "Hinata?"

Hinata's eyes widen in surprise. "A-Akatsuki! You're back!"

Akatsuki tried not to look down. "Well, I came a few minutes ago. How are you feeling?"

"Eh? Uhmm..." She looked at herself then blushed several shades.

"Why don't you sleep more? I'm sure you're still tired." Hinata shook her head a little and pulled the blanket up until her chest. "I'm fine." Akatsuki sighed, not believing her. He lifted her chin gently so that she could face him. "Akatsuki..."

"Hinata. If there is one thing that you are bad at its lying."

Hinata gasped softly and looked down but Akatsuki did not let go. He's right. If there is one thing she is really bad at its lying. He could read her like a book. But its not like she wanted to lie in the first place.

"I'm sorry. I think it became a habit."

Akatsuki smirked at this and let go of her chin. Then before she knew it Akatsuki pulled her into his embrace. "A-Akatsuki!" Akatsuki felt himself smile when he heard her saying his name again. Really, she is just saying it yet...it felt like...he could do everything. For a long moment they stayed like that. Feeling each other's warmth and presence. Love. It felt good. Why would almost everybody be against it if its good? How could this bring misfortune? How could the world be so cruel...

Akatsuki thighten his hold on her slightly just the thought of losing her. He couldn't bring Ruka to fall in love with him and now that he found someone he would protect and love, something or someone is trying to pull the strings to keep them apart. Why can't he have her completely? Is it because he's a vampire and she's human?

"Akatsuki..." She said without pulling away from him. Akatsuki didn't move and just listened to whatever she has to say. Her voice is the only thing he wanted to hear after all the things he dealt with. "...there is still many things I want to ask."

He nodded, even with his eyes closed, so she would know that he is listening. "Even if you told me about the night class there are still many you didn't told me about, right?" he nodded again and this time he move. Hinata gasped softly when she felt his breathing against the nape of her neck. The blanket that she was holding against her chest fell on her lap when Akatsuki grabbed her small hands into his. His movements were distracting her.

"But... I'm not in a hurry." Akatsuki stopped nuzzling her neck and move to look at her. He doesn't know what came up to him but he couldn't help it. Now that they are alone again and together, tomorrow they would face the rest together, he just have to take the opportunity of their privacy.

Hinata smiled warmly at him, her eyes glowing with love she hold just for him, and finally said what she really want to say.

"Welcome back, Akatsuki."

Akatsuki's eyes widen slightly at this. Then his eyes soften, his expression almost looked sad and longing. Hinata continued to smile at him and was slightly startled when Akatsuki hugged her again burrying his face against her hair.

"Hinata."

…...

Hanabusa lay on his bed quietly not caring about the person on the other bed soundly asleep. The guy was late in enrolling into Cross Academy but he didn't care. He couldn't think of anything. Everything changed under his nose without him doing anything. Hell, he is not even sure if he could hate the girl.

Hanabusa frowned angrily at himself and forced himself to sleep. It bothered him to the fullest. His cellphone was ringning the whole time even though he knew who was calling. His father.

It looks like the news reached him. It scared the hell out of him once the news reaches the vampire council. Does Akatsuki knows what he is doing? What will he do if it weren't for Kuran Kaname.

Hanabusa opened his glowing, crimson eyes angrily and wasn't able to stop himself from mentally breaking the glass that was on the drawer next to him. Spilling the contents to the carpet floor.

'Akatsuki...what will you do now...'
