My Husband Is A Night Class Student
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knights.
Chapter 11. A New Routine
The day finally came for Hinata to join the night class students. She was suppose to go yesterday when both her future husband and the moon dorm president insisted that she stay for another day and get more rest. Kaname assured her that she is excused from all of her classes and that there is nothing to worry about. Well, that was ok since she got the chance to say goodbye to her parents before they leave. And also she doesn't anymore need to go to the clinic to assist the clinic doctor. The Kain clan can't have her act like they can't afford as much as getting her to school. If she is going to be Akatsuki's wife then she should get use to her new and luxurious life.
...And...yeah, she should start getting use it but... "No way."
Hinata looked grimly at her reflection. The difference between the day and night class uniform is the colour and other than that there are no difference but why does it gives off an uncanny feeling? Seriously, it's just a uniform. Hinata spent almost three hours fixing and looking at herself. Her hair is tied into a simple pony tail with a red ribbon that matched her uniform's ribbon and only used a little face powder and lip-gloss to herself so that she'll look a little bit more presentable. Usually, she doesn't put any and only use a cologne. She has to admit that she is not really into make-ups and flashy clothes and shoes. Why is it she can't look as flawless as they are?
Rima was kind enough to lend her a hand with the things she needed and even brief her about all of the subjects they have. Meeting everyone yesterday was kind of exciting, others tried to be kind and friendly but there are still some who were distant; but Ruka and Hanabusa is another story. She only found recently that Aidou Hanabusa is Akatsuki's cousin which made sense why he seemed to be avoiding Akatsuki lately. Akatsuki tried to talk to him but he can't seem to look straight in his eyes. Souen Ruka, on the other hand, keeps acting like a snob and never wants to talk to her. But one thing is for sure is that she loved Kuran Kaname. That's what Akatsuki also said but he sounded bitter and it made her worry.
Hinata groaned to herself. She's glad that Akatsuki is not around at the moment and is discussing some matters with the dorm president. She blushed remembering how she embarrassed herself in front of him. Since it was her first time going with them she became nervous just by looking at the clock ticking. When she woke up, still under the influence of her day class routine, she thought she was late and tripped in between the thick covers and hit the carpet floor face first. Akatsuki woke up when he felt her struggled, worried, and saw everything.
Her pure white underwear, her bare legs, and...
"WAAHH!" Hinata cried hysterically and shook her head violently. 'He saw it...he saw it...he saw it...'
She bit her lip and looked at her books neatly arranged on her desk. 'I wonder...what its like to study with them...' Calming down she smiled a little and took them. Taking one last glance at the mirror she sighed. "Well, this is as good as its gonna get."
A knock sounded on the door getting her attention. "Hinata, are you ready?" Rima asked opening the door. Hinata smiled and nodded. "Yes. I'm so sorry if I took too long." Hinata said and walked towards her.
"That's o.k. You're not late. We are just waiting for the dorm president."
Hinata closed the door behind her and walked beside Rima. She relaxed a little and looked at Rima at the corner of her eye. Rima is quite nice and doesn't seem to mind that she is in fact human and treated her just the same. Even though she looked as emotionless as Senri Shiki she really liked this girl. Hinata looked on and she could see the end of the hall and could already hear the screaming fans of the night class.
~B-Dump~
The fans. What would they do if they see her?
~B-Dump~
What should I do? Akatsuki...
~B-Dump~
Hinata placed a hand on her chest trying to calm her slowly panicking heart. Realizing that she didn't prepare herself to face the night class fans. She gritted her teeth a little as they enter the parlour area. All of the night class students are there waiting but she couldn't see Akatsuki nor the dorm president. The fans' screams are loud enough to wake the dead and even heard Akatsuki's fans. The night class who are standing near the balcony took notice and Hinata, instinctively, bowed being polite.
They just nod at her direction in greeting while the others just just don't know what to make of her. Not that she is expecting anything. "Come, Hinata." Rima lead her down the stairs quietly and she could feel several pair of eye eyeing her every move and it made her feel even nervous. Hinata squinted when the screaming and yelling got louder and failed to hear the complaints coming from some of the night class students.
"Ah! Good morning! Hinata-chan!" Takuma greeted her, gliding towards her .
Hinata looked at him. "Ichijou-sempai, good morning." She still feel a little weird saying good morning when its afternoon. Takuma pouted and Hinata blinked at his reaction. "Mou~ Hinata-chan, I told you to call me Takuma." Hinata sweatdropped. Takuma's smile is really contagious. Rima sighed. "Really, vice president..."
"T-Takuma..." Hinata finally said and squeaked when Takuma suddenly hugged her.
"EEhhh?" Everyone freaked out.
"Vice president!"
"Ichijou-sama?"
"Yay! Hinata-chan said my name! Its so cute!" Takuma cheered. Everyone paled and sweatdropped.
"Ichijou-san, Hinata can't breath." Shiki stated, looking bored and emotionless while eating his pocky. Rima nodded.
"Eh? Ah! Sorry! Hehehe." Takuma let go of Hinata who looked pale. "Are you o.k.?"
Hinata shook her head a little to get rid of the dizziness and nodded, placing a hand on her forehead. "I'm fine, Takuma."
"Hinata, do you want some?" Shiki asked, sneaking in between them, giving her some chocolates. Hinata looked confused at first but smiled anyways. Takuma watched her closely with observing eyes as Shiki took her attention. His eyes narrowed slightly ,seriously but worriedly, sensing her nervousness. 'Hinata-chan...'
Hinata tasted the chocolate stick pocky. "Thank you, Shiki."
'I have to be strong. I have to face them...' her mind forcing her.
"Just take as much as you want." He said, munching his own chocolate stick and Hinata giggled nervously. 'But...' The looming presence of the fan girls outside didn't help ease her panicking heart and she can't imagine what they could actually do to her if they see her. Yuuki is also there and might get hurt. 'I don't want to create a scene. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me. But...what should I do?' Hinata thought to herself as Rima joined eating. She didn't noticed her body starting to shake from fear and doubt.
"Hinata-chan, don't push yourself too much o.k.?" Takuma tilted his head to the side smiling calmly at her. Hinata turned to face him and felt his behaviour change. "Takuma?"
"Cheer up o.k.?"
Hinata's eyes widen and her face paled a little. Finding herself shaking and her hand still on her chest. 'My heart...its still beating fast. How did he-' Takuma placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her. Hinata looked up to see Takuma giving her his best cheerful and comforting smile. Ichijou Takuma is different from the rest. She knew it from the moment she met him. He has this character that everybody doesn't and that makes him unique. He is also the first to actually befriend her and its also because of him she found new friends. Touya Rima, Senri Shiki, Seiren (although she doesn't talk much), Rihito Yuuri and even, well yeah, Kuran Kaname. The pureblood never showed any negative behaviour towards her after all and always act like a gentleman.
'Hinata...get a grip. Are you stupid? Your not alone. You have got to face them no matter what. Akatsuki faced his ,now its your turn. Get a grip!' Hinata scolded herself mentally. 'Hang in there Hinata. You can't depend on others too much. Do your best!'
Slowly, Hinata calmed down as she tried to gather all her courage. There wont be any turn backs.
"Thank you, Takuma." Takuma grinned at this. 'If talking wont help them understand the situation then...then..'
Suddenly, the room was filled with silence. Hinata gasped quietly when everyone turned to face Kaname. Was he there the whole time? Akatsuki and Seiren stood behind quietly.
"Good morning, Kaname." Takuma greeted as everyone bowed in his presence. Hinata still can't help but look astonished at the sight of their obedience. They really do respect and obey him. Kaname gave him a small smile and a nod in greeting as usual and walked down the stairs with Akatsuki and Seiren following behind.
"Kaname-sama." Ruka greeted, her voice is totally different from when she talks to others and especially to her. "Good morning."
Kaname turn to look at Hinata who bowed quickly. "Good morning, Daidouji-san."
"Good morning, Kaname-sempai."
Kaname chuckled. "There is no need to be formal. 'Kaname' is fine." Takuma, Shiki, Rima and the rest looked at him weirdly and Ruka glared. Hanabusa gasped in shock and bewilderment. The pureblood is letting her call him by his name?
Hinata couldn't think of what to say. She too was more than surprise and shock. How did it come to this? Akatsuki frowned as he watched helplessly. He didn't expect the pureblood to want Hinata to call him by his name. He didn't see that one coming even though he wasn't oblivious, seeing that the pureblood was far more than friendly around her. Like when he is around that girl prefect. His hand clenched into fist when he saw Hinata slowly getting uncomfortable and nervous. The only one who calls him by his name is the chairman and Takuma. He probably wouldn't mind Yuuki calling him that but she doesn't.
'Hinata!' Hinata's mind screamed to respond and did what she knows she is only capable of. She looked down slightly and gave him a nod in reply. She could already hear the others murmur. Could she actually bring herself to call him by his name?
Kaname smiled at this and then turn to everyone. "Shall we go?"
Everyone followed him quietly. The moment the door open the voices of the girls turned up to maximum volume and many groaned. They just won't stop being noisy. Hinata watched mindlessly as everyone passed by her and walk out following the pureblood's lead that she didn't notice Akatsuki's presence behind her.
"Hinata." He called as he hold her hand.
"Akatsuki..." His hand tighten gently.
"It's alright. Don't dwell on it too much." He said. Hinata looked uncertain but nodded anyway. Then suddenly, she gasped when he bend so that he could look at her properly. His bewitching maroon eyes hold her still and prevented her from looking away. "It looks the number of fans increased since we have a new student. So, stay close with me o.k.?"
"You mean Yuuri-san?" Akatsuki nodded. Then he move and kissed her on the forehead. He almost smirked at her reaction. "I love you." He whispered lovingly in her ear and she felt her body temperature rise up. She can't believe how romantic he could be and before she could respond Akatsuki pulled her with him gently guiding her outside finally.
The sun rays were always warm and welcoming and it felt good on her skin. If the day class students weren't there screaming at the top of their lungs she would have heard the birds' chirping and the cold breeze. She smiled to herself and looked down at Akatsuki's hand. She starred at it for a moment.
His hand, she wanted to hold it for a little bit longer until they reach class but she has to let go. 'I finally got the courage to speak for myself and make my own decisions. What kind of person am I if I can't face the challenges that are in front of me?'
"KKKKYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!" The moon dorm gate finally open and everyone started to scream with imaginary love hearts flying towards their targets.
Hinata slipped her hand abruptly away from Akatsuki's hold so fast that he didn't have a chance to react. She hold her books tightly against her chest and tried not to look straight. Akatsuki glanced at her, shocked, as they all started walk but immediately saw the determination in her eyes.
"Kya! Senri-sempai!"
"Omg! Its that the new night class student?"
"Wah! I love him!"
"I told you there is a new student. Its Rihito Yuuri."
"Yuuri-sempai!"
"Kaname-sempai!"
Hanabusa walked passed Akatsuki and starts getting attention from his fans. "Good morning, girls!" He cheerfully waved at them like he used to. As if nothing bothered him from the very beginning.
"Ichijou-sempai!" Takuma waved at them while glancing at Hinata.
"Aidou-sempai!"
"Akatsuki-sempai!"
"Kya! Doesn't Kain-sempai look more mature nowadays? Kya!"
"Akatsuki-sempai look over here!"
Kokoa, the leader of the Akatsuki fan, pushed herself through to get in front. "Akatsuki-sempai! I love you!" When Akatsuki gave her a simple glance, she was about to scream her love to him again when she saw Hinata walking just three feet away from him. It didn't take long for her to react.
"D-Daidouji Hinata?" She exclaimed in shock and anger.
Most the girls that stood near her spot heard and looked over. They all gasped in astonishment and stared in bewilderment. Kokoa was already going crazy. 'If that's really her then what is she doing over there? How dare she stand beside Akatsuki-sempai? Who does she think she is?'
"Wasn't she one of us?"
"What is she doing in the moon dorm?"
"Oh, I remember her. Isn't she a day class student?"
"What is she doing there?" they all started to voice out their question.
Everyone in the crowd started to notice and it got worse. Hinata stopped walking when Kokoa yelled her name loud enough for everyone to hear. Kokoa really did caught her attention. Yuuki came in front of them. "Everyone! Please, return to your rooms! Now!"
"Get out of the way prefect!"
'Don't say anything reckless...' Hinata told herself mentally, she has to ignore them and quickly move away. She started to walk again when suddenly a rock was thrown in front of her. Obviously it missed its target. Hinata paled at the sight and stopped on her tracks.
Zero saw who threw it and gave the girl a death glare making her fall on her knees. "Go back to your rooms now!" He bellowed deadly at the girls behind him and they ran.
"Someone threw a rock." Rima noticed, not liking the view.
"This is not good." Shiki added.
Yuuki almost paled at the raging fan girls. Akatsuki narrowed his eyes as things started to look bleak. Takuma turn around looking worried. All of the night class stopped walking and watched the commotion that is starting to grow by the minute.
Takuma walked back and stood beside Hinata. Akatsuki stood in front of her making sure that no rock comes to her again. They have to be careful not to get suspicious. Takuma bend so that Hinata could hear him. "Hinata-chan, let's go."
"What's going on in here?" Suddenly, someone asked from behind. His voice sounded authoritative. All of the students froze and paled. KoKoa and everyone turn around to see the sun dorm president and the vice president who stood right behind him.
"Fujimoto-sama!" the girls exclaimed nervously. Kokoa straighten up and hid her face under her bangs, looking embarrass. "Yukito-sama!"
The night class students looked over. It looks like things are turning around interestingly as the sun dorm president and sun dorm vice president finally showed themselves.
"Have you seen the sun dorm president before?" one asked. The other shook his head. "This is just so rare."
"Fujimoto?" Ruka questioned looking irritated. Kaname secretly smirked to himself. Hanabusa watched the scene quietly. 'It looks like the sun dorm president knows when to show up.'
"Cross-san, are they giving you a hard time again?"
Yuuki looked startled when he asked her. She shook her head and waved her hands. "Well-I-uhm, not really..." She said then suddenly realized what she said.
'Baka.' Zero thought giving her a glare. Yuuki sweatdropped.
Kazuya smiled calmly. "I see." Then his expression change. Everyone gulped knowing that he is dead serious. Hinata stared as she had never seen the dorm president looked like that before.
Even the atmosphere change around him while the vice president doesn't seem to be affected. Who could he be so authoritative, cunning, and a gentlemen at the same time?
'He almost looked like Kaname...' Takuma thought.
" Its pass curfew. Please return to your rooms now." It was an order, not forgetting to emphasize the last word. The girls quickly got on their feet nearly running towards the sun dorm. "B-but! Fujimoto-sama, Daidouji-san is-" Kokoa protested but Kazuya quickly cut her off.
"Sunade-san is it? Please return to your room quietly." Kazuya repeated giving her an impatient look as he turn around to leave while Yukito followed behind.
Kokoa protested again. "I don't understand! How could she be in-"
"You have five seconds, Sunade-san." He deadpanned, seriously giving her one last glance. She nearly fall to her in fear when she saw his eyes and quickly scramble away.
With that he left quietly with the vice president leaving the prefects and the whole night class astonished except for Kaname.
...
Everyone finally reached their destined classroom and sat anywhere. Everyone seem really surprise at the sun dorm president's sudden and rare appearance. He doesn't show himself in public too much and sometimes was thought to be unsociable. He became the main topic until the teacher came.
Akatsuki lead Hinata to where he usually sits and sat beside her.
Hinata looked behind her when she felt someone touch her shoulder. It was Takuma. "You did fine back there. It's a good thing you didn't react to anything they said. I am proud of you. You really did your best." He whispered, encouragingly. She saw Rima and Shiki nod who sat at his right side.
"There is nothing to tell them, after all." Said Akatsuki.
Hinata smiled and this time it's real. "Thank you, guys."
"Alright, class is starting ,so, get into your seats." The teacher said but didn't really care if his students are sitting or not.
"Its calculus right?" Hinata asked quietly to Akatsuki as the teacher started writing on the board.
"Yes." He replied back. He glanced at her worriedly. She told him not to worry about her too much and that she will be alright since Rima was helping her with things. Sure, since she was persistent at that time he assured himself that she will be fine but now that the time comes all worries came back to him.
"Alright then, Daidouji Hinata."
Hinata almost felt her heart come out. She knew what was coming next the moment she was called. 'The yellow lights are on but it's a little bit dark in here.' She also felt everyone's eyes on her. "Please answer the problem on the board." The teacher, old geezer, said while looking at his folder.
Hanabusa leaned on his desk watching her with interest. 'I don't think she will be able to answer it.'
"Yes, sensei."
Hanabusa's eyes nearly pop out of its socket. 'WHAT?'
Akatsuki felt speechless as Hinata accepted the challenge? Not that he wanted to complain it's just that he is worried.
Takuma blinked. 'She knows?' "Good luck, Hinata-chan!" He cheered.
"Ichijou..."
"Its o.k. right? Rima."
Rima sighed tiredly. "Ah-" Shiki exclaimed in a low tone as they all watch Hinata answer the problem.
Hinata wrote on the board so fast as if she had memorized the solution of the problem. She had no erasures or stop-over's on each calculations and they all looked accurate. She only stops a little when using her calculator.
The teacher looked over wondering why the classroom turned so quiet.
"Uhm..sensei, its finish." Hinata called and gave space for him to check. The teacher's eyes widen slightly and looked over the solutions. Hinata started to fidget as the teacher scrutinize her work intently. She looked at Akatsuki and saw him smiling. He is proud or amused? Takuma grinned at her while Shiki and Rima's expression never change but she failed to notice the glimmer of excitemet in their eyes. Then she looked at Hanabusa.
'Oh yeah...I haven't talk to Hanabusa yet. Well, I did greeted him but he never respond.' Hinata looked at him sadly then looked back at the teacher. 'I wonder what is he thinking right now.'
She blinked, forgetting her thoughts, as the teacher nodded at her answer. He looked at her and she gulped. This is the first time she have a teacher that is a vampire and feeling is really strange. She couldn't put a finger on it but it's sure is weird.
"Its correct. You may take your seat."
"YAY! HINATA-CHAN!"
...
"How disappointing. It's really unfortunate that the future head of the Kain clan would marry such low life creature." A certain noble vampire said in disgust as he drank his wine. His companion nodded at this.
"The council couldn't lay a finger on them since Kuran Kaname-sama is on their side."
The news started to spread as soon as they found out that Akatsuki refused the proposal from the Yuroku didn't surprise them but it took a lot of courage to face them. Many talked about it and acted as if they were betrayed. The others who are on the pureblood's side avoided the negative part of the topic, however, they too looked disappointed. During the meeting most of them avoided contact with any members of the Kain family. They would only talk to them if necessary.
Mr and Mrs. Kain sat on one of the chairs watching the others chat and dance. They have received nothing but never ending negative comments from their fellow vampires. Kaname's presence yesterday cleared everything and all they have to do is get on with their lives. The vampire hunters association was able to get the news as well and pretty much they were shocked with the events happening under their nose. Hinata's parents was able to avoid any interrogation with any hunters by joining Akatsuki's parents. For some reason right after the general meeting they found truce and try to work together.
"I wonder if the Scarlet Thread that runs in our blood is actually a curse." Suddenly, Mr. Kain said. His wife looked at him worriedly.
"The only thing we know about it is it being a curse by its eternal contract and nothings else."
"What are you trying to say?" She asked making sure that he is the only who could hear her. He sighed tiredly as the long hours of dealing with the higher ups have taken their toll on his health. He hated meetings and gatherings. They agreed to it in the first place so that nobody will interfere afterwards.
" I have a feeling that there is more to it." 'Kuran-sama was really willing to help us without question. Akatsuki and that girl's wedding will push through no matter what but I doubt that's all that is going to happen. Married or not... she will still be in danger.'
"Honey?"
He looked at her and gave her a small smile and shook his head a little. "Never mind what I said. I was just thinking."
"No. But maybe you are right." He looked back at her, confused. As he stood he helped her up. "Let's go home. "
...
~DURING LUNCH (midnight)
Hinata sat with Akatsuki in the school cafeteria while the others mind their own business chatting here and there or eating. She looked around and felt out of place. Not to mention the rich chandeliers lightening their way which were never on during the day. The place just looked like a five star hotel. Wait a minute, it's the same canteen yet everything seem to look different. Maybe her eyes is playing tricks on her and maybe it's because she never gave herself the time.
"Hinata, is there is anything you like?" Akatsuki asked.
Hinata looked at him. "Ah, not really...uhm, I made lunch." Akatsuki watched as she placed her bento on the table. Amazed, he wondered what she made this time. Yesterday, was the first time someone made breakfast just for him. She made garlic bread with mozzarella cheese on it, fried eggs with beef steak and fried rice along with a cup of hot chocolate. It was simple yet special. He couldn't forget the looks on his classmates' faces, the boys actually, they looked jealous. Since Hinata knows how to cook the dorm president didn't see why she can't use the kitchen. He has to admit that it was far better than anything he has tasted.
Hinata opened it slowly and took off the cover. Akatsuki leaned to look and was again amaze. He smiled as she took the first container and laid it on one side and the second container contained another kind of dishes.
"Uhm, it's not much." She said sounding sheepish. " That one is yours if you like and this is the chopsticks that goes with it."
Akatsuki smiled as he took the chopsticks from her. Despite the things she showed during their class she still manages to be shy around him. She was a genius and managed to cope up with all of their subjects. Who would have known that she is actually one of the top students. He glanced quickly at the others who ordered food from the canteen and then looked at the food in front of him, he smiled again knowing that she made it just for him. Two noble vampires that were passing by noticed and looked extremely curious. Hinata wondered if the smell of the food is drawing attention.
Hinata watched him nervously as he picked the sushi and ate it. She blushed when she realized that she was starring. Even when eating he is flawless. "How is it?" She asked.
"It's delicious."
Hinata sighed and smiled in relief and joy. He liked it. "From now on you'll be the one to make my food." He caught her gaze as he ate his scrambled egg and she blushed. "It's far more delicious than the canteen food."
That made Hinata laugh. "Hai (yes)."
Takuma watched the couple from the other table grinning. "Wah~Hinata-chan is laughing. How cute."
"Ichijou-san, are you going to eat or stalk Hinata for the whole day." Shiki said looking bored as he ate. Takuma pouted, comically looking offended. "How rude, I'm not stalking her."
"Ne~ Hanabusa, you should really try talk to her. " Rima said to Hanabusa who sat on the other side of the table. He frowned without looking. "I'm not in the mood." He replied stubbornly.
"You know, she is trying her best. Soon enough she will be-"
"I know that. I know!" Hanabusa hissed, frustrated with himself. He glanced at Hinata then look back at his food. He couldn't bring himself to hate Hinata and he is disturbed by it with the fact that she will be entering the family soon. His real problem is...himself. Akatsuki chose this kind of life with his own free will along with Hinata. He couldn't accept it. Not yet...
"Akatsuki is there something wrong?" Hinata looked at Akatsuki worriedly.
Akatsuki almost looked pale as he covered his mouth and nose. 'This can't be happening.' His body struggled from within and forced himself to calm down. Hinata was about to reach over when he stood up avoiding her gaze.
"I-I'm alright. Just...stay here." He said as calmly as he could and quickly left. Hinata watched him worriedly and hoped it wasn't the food. Kaname sensed it and eyed Akatsuki's retreating figure towards the washroom. How amusing. He doesn't need to give him permission to drink from his wife yet he refuses, afraid that he might hurt her again. Kaname took one last glance at Hinata and walked away.
Akatsuki nearly stagger as he dashed his way towards the nearest washroom and quickly locked the door. His eyes glowed crimson red with lust and then close them forcing himself back to normal. He could already feel his fangs lengthening and his heart beating fast. This didn't happen yesterday and he was sure it wont today because he'd taken in several blood pills to make sure. Overdose?
He groaned and muttered something incoherent. He now fear that the pills wont work longer then they usually do to him. Once or thrice was enough for him. Akatsuki forced himself to maintain his balance and reached the sink, taking out his blood pills shakingly. He could already feel himself sweating profousely from all the self control and his top uniform is killing him. His hands gripped the endge of the sink tightly, taking deep breath each time, and his eyes glowed on and off, painfully.
'Hinata-I can't make her worry about this...not now...'
Akatsuki's hands tremble from the pain instinctively placing a hand against his chest dropping the blood pills in the process. Shutting his eyes he leaned against the nearest wall, still facing the mirror, roughly. He can still remember his promise yesterday that he will tell her everything that she has to know. The reason why he couldn't tell her yesterday was simply because we wasn't ready.
Gasping for air his body slid down to the floor and groaned painfully when he felt the cold floor. How long will he last?
'Damn it!' His mind screamed.
…...
Hinata walked back to class with the rest without Akatsuki. He didn't finish his lunch and did not come back. Hinata didn't finish hers either because she was so worried. She doesn't know what is it but knew that there is something wrong.
Just when she decided to look for him the bell rang indicating that lunch time is over and came face to face with the dorm president. His intention to distract her end escort her back to class with the others was completely harmless. Assuring her, probably lying, that Akatsuki is in the Chairman's office and will be returning soon.
Hinata followed silently behind Kaname. She could feel the stares of some of her classmates from behind trying to make holes in her skull. She couldn't care less. Akatsuki is the only one she could think of. She can forget about her next class and go to the chairman to make sure but why does it feels like other than Akatsuki someone else is also watching her? It could be the dorm president.
…...
Hinata sweatdropped. She was so focused on her worries that classes had already started as she sat beside Rima. Vampire History, Tradition, and Culture. She was suppose to be excited about the subject but her expression failed her. While listening to the instructor she realized how complex a vampire's life could be and the teacher...looked too proud. You could also see most of her classmates not listening and looking bored. Hinata have so many questions but every time she thinks about it Akatsuki would flash in her mind and even tried hard not to blush.
Despite the complexities of their life there is only one tradition and one culture all throughout. Unlike for humans, there are numerous inclusing those that are still unknown. Suddenly, she remembered something. Back in the public library, the book that caught her attention, could all those she had read be true. Moreover, she haven't talk to anyone about it yet. She she bring it up?
Hinata glanced at the teacher then back on her notebook.
Maybe not. But who could have written that book and why is that there? If its ture then it shouldn't be there. Hinata sighed inwardly hoping that no one found the book.
…...
After two hours of classes; at 3 o'clock sharp, the night class students prepare to leave and return to the moon dorm. Akatsuki had not yet return.
They all walk back together with tht dorm president leading the way as usual. Hinata walk behind Kaname quietly and looked really deep in thought. Takuma noticed her change behaviour awhile ago and tried to cheer her up then right after that her mind return to its worried state. Kaname already noticed but didn't say anything except instructed her that she walk behind him as a usual routine if ever Akatsuki is not around. This even made Ruka who stood beside Kaname glare daggers at her.
Ruka could already eat her alive if only Kaname wasn't acting like a barrier.
Takuma was about to say something when Hanabusa beat him to it.
"I'll escort Hinata back to her room, Kaname-sama." he said causing many to look at him. Hinata looked bewildered. She stiffen when Hanabusa placed a hand at the base of her spine. Kaname only spear him a simple and quicki glance before continuing to walk up the stairs.
" Please, do so." he simply said, looking impassive as always.
Hinata didn't have anything to say to the situation and let Hanabusa guide her back to her and Akatsuki's room. She felt like she have to say something but this is Hanabusa. What is she suppose to say at times like this? Without being told Hanabusa open the door for her and pushed her gently into the room.
Hanabusa closed the door behind him and watched her place her books on her desk.
Hinata looked at him. "Aidou-sempai?"
Hanabusa looked up giving her an intense look. Hinata was taken aback. He walked over, startling her, he grabbed her shoulders shaking her slightly.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want from Akatsuki."
Hinata felt speechless. What he said doesn't make sense. Hanabusa frowned at her silence. Hinata gasped when she felt something piercing her skin and its horribly cold. She whimpered.
"You don't understand what Akatsuki is going through yet you are here." His hold on her tightened causing her to whimper again. The ice freeze her feet reaching her knees.
"You are so weak. I don't see how worthy you are to be his wife let alone to be just with him until the end. Hell, I don't understand what he sees in you!" Hanabusa hissed, angry. Hinata kept her eyes shut in fear and horror. Not only he is gripping her shoulders so tight the ice he created pierced her skin to painfull numbness.
She couldn't answer him. Even if she can she doesn't know the answers. Her heart beat and pound against her chest painfully and eventually found it hard to breath. Thw worst thing is that his words hit her like a wild flood rushing against her...killing...and mentally sofficating her.
"If you approve of this arrangement because of the Scarlet Thread I will not accept it. Do you really love him? You don't deserve my cousin and his love!" Hanabusa's eyes glowed crimson making the ice disappear in a form of vapor then his eyes return back to normal. He let go of her suddenly alomost dropping her intentionally on the floor. Hinata wasn't ready from the sudden lost of his hold as her legs buckled and she fell on the floor, letting her hands and arms to support her. Hanabusa watched her coldly. "You are just a human. Its a miracle how your and his decision have reach this far. No doubt the Kuran Kaname-sama was also behind this."
"You should just... disappear." He said coldly before leaving the room. Hinata's eyes widen in shock then as soon as Hanabusa left the room she felt tears stream down her cheeks. Uncontrollably, her body shook as she cried silently.
…...
Hanabusa stood behind the door and leaned agianst it. Despite her efforts not to be heard he could hear her loud and clear. He stared down at the carpeted floor, the shawdows of his bangs hiding his quilty looking eyes. His hand turned to fist.
Yes,he was honest. However, he couldn't believe he said those last words to her. Were those even the right words? Slowly he walk away towards his room.
"Please... Please prove...that I'm wrong."
