I apologize for the rather dark chapter, I was rewatching Bones and Vincent just died...I cried. THEN I went to Pollards Bowl for a Birthday Party...Ryan kept trying to take my turns...Jerk.
"And I might've..kinda...kissed him back." If Rima was Takuma, she would've fainted or been cheering with joy. But she was not the adorable and happy-go-lucky blonde, no, she was Tooya Rima, a model. A respectable model. One that people envied from all over the world. No, she would not do something like that.
...Rima fell over as her soul left her body, never really expecting Senri to make a bold move like that. Aiko squealed alarmed and shot up from her spot, gripping the bottom of Rima's soul, stuffing it back into her mouth,
"I got your soul, Rima!" She reassured and tried to wake the poor ginger back up. "Rima, come on...don't do this to me! I need you right now and I'm rather hungry." She glanced at the pocky around the room as Rima opened on of her eyes and questioned dully,
"Not for blood, I hope." Aiko laughed at that, waving a finger at her as if she was scolding a child,
"Tsk, tsk, Rima. I would only do that if Senri asked me to become a Vampire so I could stay by his side." And it was true, she would. She would probably go to the ends of the Earth if it meant she could stay with Senri. Rima eyes opened and she stared at Aiko with surprise, before letting a small smile grace her usually frowning lips.
She already approved of Senri and Aiko getting together, but this just made her ship them even more. Aiko was good for Senri, even if she didn't know it herself. But to be honest...despite Senri being as blunt as he is...she expected Aiko to make the first move. Not the silent hero.
Rima silently wonders to herself how Takuma was doing...

'-and I decided to become his accomplice. That's why-' Ruka thought and cried out in protest, Akatsuki holding onto her tightly as they vanished, "Wait, Akatsuki!" Akatsuki merely continued to run, only when they were out of sight did he make the flame wall disappear, "We don't have to run way, if we tell Hanabusa, he'll understand-!"
"I don't think he will." Akatsuki interrupted, eyes narrowed as he continued to run, making sure he didn't drop Ruka, his cousin, "And I don't want you to get even more tired." Ruka pushed herself away from Akatsuki and landed gracefully on the grassy ground. They were by the Sun Dorms. Ruka gave Akatsuki a look, saying,
"Don't treat me like a weak woman." Akatsuki looked at her, surprised, "I know "what" I'm helping with and I know the seriousness of the mater has exhausted me...but, all I want to say is that," She let a small smile spread across her face as she stared at Akatsuki. ",I don't want you to worry about me." She lifted up a slim and pale hand and elegantly tucked a strand of rouge hair behind her ear. "This place brings back some memories," She glanced up at the gothic looking building. ",even though I hadn't been near the Sun Dorms many times..."
"Sorry," Akatsuki apologized but reminded her, "we need to hurry up."
"Don't worry about it. I'll begin soon." She informed, 'The students will fall into a deep slumber and won't be able to exit the Sun Dorms. Meanwhile, Kaname-Sama will suppress Sara-Sama. I can't afford to make any mistakes." Ruka took a deep breathe and closed her eyes, raising her arms up and stretching her fingers apart, concentrating on using her manipulative powers to make all the Day Class students fall asleep that were inside the Dorms.
Akatsuki stayed alert, listening intently for any disturbances or any other Vampires that may try to interrupt Ruka.
The scent of lilies, coconut, and fruit wafted in the air. Akatsuki turned his head and demanded in a deep voice, "Who's that hiding in the shadows?"
The Class President, the female Dorm leader, and Yori all stepped out. Yori gasped, hands covering her mouth, as she cried out,
"I knew it!"
"Wild-Sempai!" The dorm leader gasped, the fan-girl in her trying to break through. "And Ruka-Onee-Sama!" Kageyama's shoulders slumped as he pushed up his glasses, questioning confused,
"Hm, you know them?" He questioned the two girls. "Who're they?" The Dorm president looked at Yori and questioned surprised,
"His memories-?"
"Yeah, he forgot about the Night Class." She told her, smiling awkwardly, "Supposedly, anyway."
Kageyama's glasses flashed as he stared intently at Ruka, brown eyes flashing. "Hmmm? That beautiful light brown hair..." A breeze blew by just then, "flowing with the wind..." Her light brown curls twisted and waved elegantly, like an Angel from above. She slowly turned her head, gorgeous caramel corn brown eyes staring at him surprised. "I feel as though...I've met you before, somewhere." Yori and the Dorm president stared at him shocked and slightly excited. Kageyama gripped his head and scratched at it furiously, trying to get the memories to return, "You're-You're...!" It hit him. Like a rock to the head. All memories of the beautiful Acorn yellow haired girl came back to him. He gasped, the fan-boy in him breaking through, and pointed at the woman, declaring passionately, "Ruka-San! I, Kageyama Kasumi, remember you!" His eyes were wide and there was a noticeable blush on his face as all the blood rushed to his cheeks.
"I don't know you." Ruka replied steadily and glanced up at Akatsuki confused, "How about you, Akatsuki?"
"No..." Kageyama had froze completely, heart broken.
"Ruka-shan..." He whimpered. The acorn colored haired girl turned to him and the girls, stating,
"If you don't want to see anything scary, return to your dorms." Kageyama had tears streaking down his face. Ruka then realized something and stuttered,
"Ah, um...but, let's see...That's right." She placed a hand over her mouth in thought, when it hit her. She looked over at Kageyama, saying, "For you to have remembered who I am, because you like me so much, I'm really happy." Kageyama gasped, a dark blush on his face, as Ruka turned back around. "Hurry up and go. Scary Vampires might attack Humans who are still awake, you know." She warned them.

'There exists Vampires who are scarier than others, Vampires who can make others obey them.' Takuma thought, slightly disgusted as Sara reached a hand up to cup his cheek. 'They are rare and have pure lineage. Shirabuki Sara, I was caught by this Pureblood.' He stared coldly at the blonde woman, who spoke,
"I have always wanted you," She told him.
"Is that a confession?" Takuma asked blankly, disgust clear in his eyes. Sara instantly gripped the collar of his sweater and slammed him against a wall, growling,
"You don't seem to understand, yet, Takuma." Sara put emphasis on his name, causing him to flinch and frown deeply in disgust. Takuma stated, closing his eyes as he leaned his head back against the wall,
"I can only interpret that as a confession for my blood." He told her calmly and for a split second he wondered, 'Why can't Rima be telling me this?' He spoke, "You've obtained enough information about me from Kaname, haven't you?" 'A Pureblood who shows intense tenacity once she's keen on something.'
"I've told you before, Takuma, I've always wanted you." She said, narrowing her cerulean blue eyes. "You who were standing next t Kaname-San, laughing without knowing what fear was. I want to be wiser than both Rido and Shizuka, rather than something like the Senate's fake cajolery, I need the words of someone who is willing to rise against me."
'What should I do?' Takuma wondered silently to himself, 'I can only hear them as warped confessions for my blood. Rima...I wish you here right now.'
"Was there no one other than me?" Takuma questioned, not really wanting to know the answer. Sara stared at him intently for a moment before answering in a calm tone,
"No one."
'Once I became old enough to understand what was going on, she who lost both her parents-I'm quite perturbed by that answer. Amongst the Purebloods who are feared by other Vampires, one of them are set on capturing me in her web.'
"You thought you were by my side on your own will to keep a close watch on me, didn't you?" Sara asked Takuma, smiling sweetly. "That wasn't the case. You're the moth and I'm the lamp, that's how it's like."
'The more I'm trapped by Sara, the more I realize I'm trapped by Kaname as well.' A sword, an anti-Vampire weapon, the blade of the sword, was placed on Takuma's shoulder, but not wounding him. 'And this is the conclusion.' Takuma stared up at Kaname and told Sara, not looking away from Kaname's piercing wine-red eyes, "Sara-Sama, it's better for you to stand back this time. He has an anti-Vampire sword with him."
"That may be the case Ichijou-San," Jack said, flames dancing around his head, as he stepped out from the shadows. He tends to do that a lot, doesn't he? ", but we don't need to stay back for me to burn her alive." His eyes were narrowed angrily, hatred filling him as he stared at Sara. She was part of the reason why Araiya's dead...
"Takuma!" Senri called out, opening the door, alarmed.
"Sara-Sama!" A blonde with braids and purple eyes exclaimed from behind him. Jack cursed at the interruption and he and Kaname vanished into the night, again.
Takuma stood there for a moment in silence, Sara coming up and wrapping her arms elegantly around his torso. Takuma tensed, anxiety for her to release him growing, as she said,
"It seems dangerous for us to remain here." She nuzzled her head on his back and his shoulder scrunched up slightly.
X.X
"Kaname-Sama, Chouko-San." Ruka greeted as the two friends appeared in front of her and Akatsuki.
"Hey, Ruka, Akatsuki, what's up?" Jack greeted, grinning and waving childishly. Ruka sweatdropped, thinking,
'He's way too alike Amaya.'
"We found you." A high, female voice stated, causing them to turn their heads and look at the intruders.
Long brunette hair and wine-red eyes, pale skin, and holding a scythe. Short. Short, wild, flame red hair, emerald eyes, dark skin, and holding a dark pole. Short. The cousins, Kuran Yuuki and Chouko Amaya. Kaname and Jack both turned their heads to stare at them.
X.X
"How regrettable." Sara said once Takuma managed to wiggle his way out of Sara's grip. Her little "birdies" flocked over to her, panicking and exclaiming,
"Sara-Sama!"
"Sara-Sama!"
"Kaname-san and Chouko-San ran away because you're here." Sara said, spotting Zero running into the room. "I have a request," She began, placing a hand on a dark-haired girl's head. "Hide us at the Association." Zero glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes.
Senri walked up to Takuma, questioning anxiously, "Wait, Takuma, is Sara-Sama serious!?" Takuma glanced at Senri, forest green eyes staring at him saddened, and said,
"Senri..." The mahogany haired boy furrowed his brows, Takuma's response worrying him.
"I wouldn't say no if I were you." Sara told Zero. "I'll help you with your revenge."
FLASH BACK
Amaya gripped Zero's right hand, while Yuuki gripped his left. The cousins were smiling up at the prefect, who just stared down a them.
"We'll chase after Kaname's and Jack-San's scent." Yuuki told him, Amaya nodding in agreement.
"While we do that, you'll protect Sara." She tried to hide her disgust for the woman in her voice, "That okay with you?" Zero stared down at them, unconvinced. Amaya rolled her eyes at his stubborness, "It's fine. It won't happen again."
"We're us, Zero, we can handle it." Yuuki informed him. She placed a hand against her chest elegantly and said, "They're Vampires and we know the weaknesses of Vampires extremely well."
"Yeah, Hanabusa basically implanted it into our brains." Amaya laughed at the memory. Zero's eyes closed half-way, and Amaya smiled softly at him, saying, "Since it's you, Zero, I won't be worried. We know you can handle yourself."
"Amaya's right, Zero." Yuuki added in her ten cents. She squeezed Zero's hand comfortingly before letting go and looking at Amaya, "Let's go, Amy." Amaya stared at her cousin for a second before looking up at Zero one more time and squeezed his hand gently and let go, following Yuuki.
"Alright." He said after a few moments, missing Amaya's hand in his.
'It was the same day Ichiru died, that I put my lips upon that person's corpse.' Flashes of the Human Amaya went through Zero's head, before it switched to the scene where he kissed her. 'The hand of the dead...'
"Nevertheless," He started. ",I believed that the five of us would walk together again." 'Why was I hoping?' He wondered silently.
"Like I said, since it's you, I'm not worried." Amaya said, smiling up at him softly. Yuuki nodded,
"Zero can handle himself."
'Why is it that you both look at me with the same eyes as before?' Zero thought, staring down at them. 'Ichiru's corpse had been so cold...'
END FLASHBACK
"You heard me." Zero told Sara, outstretching a hand. "We're going to the Church." Sara smiled at him and said,
"Well then, are you asking me to fullfill your desire?" Zero said nothing, merely staring at the woman. "Are you coming, Takuma?" Takuma sighed and nodded,
"Eeh." Senri frowned and watches as he grudgingly takes Sara's hand. Senri reaches out and grips Takuma's wrist, pulling it away from Sara and says in surprise and worry,
"Takuma! This isn't the normal Takuma! You aren't yourself!" Takuma smiled nervously at Senri, saying,
"Senri, this is who I am now." He tells him gently, calmly removing Senri's grip from his shoulder and wrist. Senri's bangs cover his eyes as he says quietly,
"It can't be..." It was at that moment, a girl with pale skin, which was accented by her dark, shoulder length, brown hair with some wavy strands of hair at the sides, wearing a light blue sweater and black skirt with long white stockings and black boots ran past Zero. She was shortly followed by a pale, elegant girl, with eccentric orange hair that was wearing the Night Class uniform. The brunette had panic and worry written across her face while the orange haired girl just had anger and worry written all over. Senri continued, with a slight pained expression, "I know the real Takuma is-"
"Senri!" The brunette cried, tackling the Mahogany haired boy in a hug. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she tackled him, "Where the hell have you been!? Talk about mixed signals!" She barked, pulling away enough to glare angrily at Senri, lilac eyes gleaming. "First you bite me, then you kiss me and tell me you love me, and now you leave with no warning! What the hell!?"
"What do you think you're doing!?" Rima demanded of Senri, pissed off. "Senri!"
"Aiko! R-Rima..." Senri was surprised, he didn't think they would find him. Rima then turned her head to glare at the blonde haired, forest green eyes boy, saying,
"And you, Takuma, stop it too-!" She paused and cut herself off, blinking. They were gone. "Takuma!?"
"Takuma!" Senri shouted and quickly raced out of the room, causing Aiko and Rima to growl and chase after them.
"Get back here!"
"Senri, damn it!"

"It isn't right!" Kaito growled, holding down the Hanadagi servant. "Allowing Vampires to run wild around the school campus! You understand that you're an enemy of the Lord!?" The dark-skinned servant struggled and let out an angry cry of protest. 'If you're an enemy of a Pureblood, you'll die."
"I DON'T CARE!" She screamed and aimed a kick at his face. Kaito barely dodged, screaming. Hanabusa and Maria were watching silently, Maria letting out a silent gasp here and there. The servant sat up and frowned, looking down at the ground and quietly said, "It doesn't matter...In the first place, what are those hunters doing? What is it!?" She demanded, golden eyes flashing. "What are you Hunters doing!? Even though you're locking the rest of us up and going after Purebloods-SHIRABUKI SARA IS STILL FREE!"
Kaito grumbled, scratching his forehead, and said, "Ah...seriously?"
"Anyway," Hanabusa spoke up. "Since the Ryouchou isn't here, I've been bothered with this...It's impossible to speak to her and barely keep tabs."
The servant was completely silent.
X.X
"Anyway, I'm pissed." Yuuki told Kaname, glaring. "This scene is so serene with the beating of your heart." They were all surrounded by Cherry Blossom trees...
"I can't wait to kick your ass." Amaya growled at her father. He merely smirked and replied with,
"Are you sure that you're not the one who's going to get their ass kicked? Maybe I should ground you and stick you in your room. Keep you away from your little boyfriend."
"Like hell you will! You don't own me; I'm my own person!" She snapped. Kaname stared at Yuuki at calmly said,
"That's because I'm a cruel guy who abandoned you..."
"I never abandoned you!" Yuuki cried out, staring angrily at Kaname. There were tears pricking her eyes as she tightened her grip on Artemis, who seemed to vibrate at her touch. "Do you remember? If you had to let me go, you'd rather kill me with your own hands or have me kill you?" She stared Kaname in the eyes and continued, "That's what you told me in front of the Coffin Room, right?
"If you were your own person, then why are you getting married to Nagamichi's son?" Amaya flinched at Nagamichi's name and her shoulders tensed, freezing up as tears pricked her eyes. She bit her lip, legs and arms trembling slightly as she tightened her grip on Luna. She had Kuran blood in her, Araiya being Juri's sister, and was able to wield a Anti-Vampire weapon. "That was an arranged marriage, if you do recall. You even seemed to hate each other's guts. Are you both just playing with each other? Is he your little toy to play are with until you get bored and move onto that Hunter? What was his name...Ah, yes, Zero Kiryuu. Though here, it's pronounced Kiryuu Zero. Is Hanabusa just your play thing until you want someone fresh? Tell me, darling daughter, what would your mother say to you if she saw you playing with his feelings like that? Ah, such a manipulative person. I wonder...Or could it be that you actually love him-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU SONUVA BITCH!" Amaya snapped, tears streaking down her face, "You have no right to talk about Hanabusa or Zero like that, and you have no right to speak about FATHER SO CASUALLY!" She screamed as she charged, anger causing Luna and leave the grass behind her, every step that she took, to light on fire. She swung Luna angrily at her Father, who narrowed his every-shade-of-blue eyes, who stepped to the side and pulled out an intricate silver dagger and blocked Luna. Amaya growled and grit her teeth, hissing at her Jack angrily, "He was your friend! A man you considered a brother! You let Kaname kill him and you talk about him so casually as if his very being doesn't even matter!? What the fuck is wrong with you!?" Fire grew around them, both the Father and Daughter causing the grass to light in flames and form a ring around them, separating themselves from Yuuki and Kaname.
Jack lunged forward with his dagger, causing Amaya to slid back slightly and jumped in the air before landing clumsily, stumbling at the bad landing. She shook her head as Jack shouted, "It was for the greater good, Amaya! It had to be done!"
Lightning crackled up Luna as she held it, flames dancing around it like spirals, as she growled, "Greater good? What the fuck is good about his death!? Tell me, Dad, or should I even call you that!?" Alligator tears kept falling and dribbled onto her hands. Her voice wavered slightly as she demanded, "TELL ME!"
Jack didn't answer, merely narrowing his eyes. "I already told you. It had to be done. I could not have interfered."
"STOP LYING TO ME!" Amaya screamed and charged, the red flames turning into a hot blue and white, growing wider and bigger and dancing even more quickly. The flames frolicked from the weapon to her hands, wrapping around her wrists and snaking up her arms. "I won't let you get away without explanations this time!" She snapped and charged.
"The weapons "Artemis" and "Luna" you both hold, is used to strike down Vampires." Kaname told Yuuki with an outstretched hand as she charged, swinging her scythe down.
"That's right!" Yuuki shouted at him, "I will do it with this weapon! I'll be quicker by using your rejuvenation time to my advantage!" She swung it down at him, sliding forward, and there a sharp clanging noise from where Kaname calmly pulled at his sword and blocked the attack. "I won't let you do as you please, even if I have to tear you apart." Yuuki told Kaname, a cut forming on her cheek from where he cut her face with his sword.
"How troubling." Kaname said and sighed.
"Then sat true to those words you said that day and pierce my heart with that sword." Yuuki ordered, blood trickling down her cheek, causing the sweet scent of roses to drift in the air. There was silence and you could hear the sounds of fire frolicking in the background and the pinging of weapons from Jack and Amaya's fight.
"Explanation, you say?" Jack repeated and smirked, his red bangs falling into his face slightly. "Why, I'm afraid that I have none. As I told you before, you should've figure it out. You have read the future after all, you being a psychic and all." Amaya froze in her attack, Luna stopping just inches from his neck and Jack's daggers pausing at the crook of Amaya's neck and her abdomen.
"Wh-What?"
"Don't tell me you didn't realize it." Jack said and rolled his eyes, before breaking out into laughter. "There is no Manga, you just have telepathy! You're a psychic, Amaya, that's why you know what happens! You can't remember anything, because you're trying to remember something that doesn't exist. Think about, how many times have you tried to remember the Manga and failed? How nothing could come into your head except what had already happened!? You were a Human Amaya, all those books you read were blank. Your Vampire blood was so strong, your telepathic powers needed a way to be controlled and tricked your mind into believing that there was a Manga!"
"What...N-No, no!" Amaya denied, not believing him. "You-You're lying again! There is a Manga! I-I know because-I know because Jasmine and Aiko heard of Vampire Knight too! Jasmine read the Manga with me and A-Aiko, she-She's seen the anime!"
"Jasmine was a Vampire Amaya."
Her world shattered then and there. All those glass mirrors in her mind that bore cracks from all the pain she endured in her life have finally shattered.
"She could only read the "Manga", because you created it. She was a Vampire and was only able to read it because you, a Vampire and "Former Human" made it. Aiko couldn't read the "Manga" because she was Human and it never even existed in the first place. Matsuri Hino, isn't even real. She was just someone your mind made up. Arabian Jasmine Fragrance. That was the name the you gave the "Manga Creator" from what memory you had of Araiya. She always smelt of Jasmines..."
"Stop it..Stop it! You're lying to me-You-You have to be..." Amaya whimpered, unable to believe what she was being told. "You're...You're making it all up..."
"Tell me, if I'm lying, then how come when you were changed into a Vampire, you were higher than most level B's with Pureblood blood in your veins?"
Kaname and Yuuki stopped their standstill, pulling their weapons away from each other as Yuuki shouted, "If it'll be my turn one day, don't treat me with halfhearted sympathy!" Kaname merely stared at his fiance. "Do it, now!" She demanded, the blood from the cut of the cheek dribbling down her chin. Kaname frowned and shocked Yuuki by raising a hand and placing it against her cheek, wiping the blood of with his index finger.
Yuuki's eyes widened as she stared at him, noticing the tender and loving look in his eyes and the saddened features that grew on his handsome face. The vibrating sensation in Artemis reappeared again and she quickly took a few steps back, swinging Artemis away from him.
"Before your consciousness drowns in a pool of blood, I'll answer your doubts." Kaname told her. He pulled his sword to his side, "Can't you feel it in that weapon?" He got in a stance, "Killing Purebloods is "Her" desire."
'Enough her' Yuuki thought and realized something as she jumped in the air, ready to swing down Artemis. The black haired woman that look exactly like her... "That female Ancestor?" Yuuki tried to redirect her attack and swung herself to the side as she swung her weapon onto the ground, landing near a broken Amaya.
"Abandon me as a lunatic, Yuuki." Kaname told her. Yuuki couldn't attack...she wouldn't.
"No..." She muttered.
"Is everything I've known, ever, a lie?" Amaya questioned weakly. Jack carefully removed his knives from the killing position he had them in from his daughter, and nodded. The fire around them slowly died out as Amaya fell to her knees, dropping Luna, and falling to the ground. "Why...Why is this happening to me?" She raised her hands up to her face and stared at them intently, alligator tears welling up in her eyes before streaking down it at a fast pace. "What did-What did I ever do for this? Why me? I was only four...I was just a kid!" And that was when she felt something cold press up against the back of her head. Amaya swallowed, trembling, and turned her head to stare at the glaring form of Zero. "Wh-What are you do-doing here, Z-Zero?"
"Zero!?" Yuuki exclaimed, recognizing the voice of the silver haired prefect. She then wondered something briefly, 'Where's his pulse? And the minty smell?' Her eyes widened, 'An illusion?'
Amaya, too broken to even notice these small little facts, continued to stare up at the prefect in shock and confusion, tears stilling falling down her face, as she questioned, "Sh-Shouldn't you be with-with b-blondie?" She hiccuped slightly and swallowed the lump in her throat. Her eyes were starting to burn from the crying.
"They're men who've done so much to me..." Zero began quietly as he stared, betrayal in his eyes, at Amaya. "Why do you still cling to them?"
"He's-they're- They're family, Z-Zero." Amaya replied, confused and not answering his question. "Why are you-Why are you looking at me like that?" Zero stared, a pained expression on his face, as his finger twitched.
There was a bang and pain flared through out Amaya's body as it felt like something exploded in her skull. Zero...Zero shot her. With his gun. Amaya choked and blood spurted out of her mouth and dribbled down her chin. Blood was trickling down her forehead and stained, blending in, with her flame red hair as she fell forward.
"AMAYA!" Yuuki screamed, anger and guilt and sorrow and sadness and pain and almost every pained emotion you can think of filling her voice and forming on her face. Zero instantly turned and positioned his gun quickly, pulling the trigger and shooting Yuuki. Her eyes widened, blood bubbling up her throat and gouging out of her mouth and dripping onto her clothes. Blood started to stained her white uniform, spreading from her chest where her heart was. She toppled onto the ground with a loud thud, arms going limp as she breathed heavily.
Amaya landed with a soft thud, body limp and slightly twitching. She coughed harshly, blood pooling around both her and Yuuki. Her fingers twitched and blood stained her hands and it was at that moment, as Amaya stared up at the cold expression that Zero was wearing, and that blood that was staining her hands, she realized. She gave a strained smile at the thought and glanced up at Zero, saying something to him that she would probably never say in real life to him,
"I...Love you."
"...Go to hell, Amaya." A harsh chuckle escaped its way out of Amaya's lip before she coughed brashly again.
"As-As I thought...Nice on, R-Ruka...And I thought my mind made-made pretty cruel hallucinations. I-I nearly went mad be-because of them...Zero would never...Zero would never-never s-scold me like this..."
"Why won't you just abandon him?" Zero questioned Amaya, staring down at her. "You should just go to hell, who could ever love a girl like you?"
"Zero...An Illusion made by Ruka...Not bad." Yuuki stated and sighed, coughing slightly as the pain continued to flare in her chest. "And while we stay here like this...She's-She's-Kaname's on his way to Sara's place..."
"Everything's a lie." Amaya said suddenly, causing Yuuki to look at her confused.
"Amaya?"
"Everything, my entire life, was a lie. It's-It's-Bwahahahaha!" Amaya broke out into maniac laughter. Yuuki stared at her worriedly, blood spreading on her uniform again. "Oh-Oh my god, everything makes perfect sense! It's-It's-Oh my god! OH-Oh, it hurts! It hurts so much!" Her chest was shaking heavily from her labored breathing and laughter, pain flaring in her head and sides from laughing so hard and loud. "i never would've thought-Oh, it makes so much sense, It's uncanny! Oh my god, Yuuki! You know what this means, don't you!?" She glanced at her cousin, who was staring at the red head with wide wine-red eyes.
"Wh-What?"
Amaya cracked an insane grin, finally cracking. "I'm more pathetic than I thought. I'm completely unstable! The hallucinations really did drive me off the deep end! It's brilliant! My mind is so clear-I can see the future clearly! There'll be two girl's who look like Senri and two gingers! There'll be a boy with silver hair and a girl with Mahogany hair and a cute little blonde with a pink bunny! I only know Ouran High School Host Club because its in the future! It's not a manga or anime at all! I made it all up in my head as a Human, it was my telepathic abilities cutting through my Human veil! Jack was right, I am a psychic! I imagined this whole scenario as a Manga because I foretold it! You were the main protagonist, Yuuki, because everything circles around you! There was no Amaya Chouko or Aiko Tsukigomori or Jasmine Ichihara!" One. One liked Zero. The irony. "There was no Araiya Kuran or Jack Chouko, there was no fiance to Hanabusa or you being demented, there were no extra characters! It was always you, Zero, and Kaname! Oh my god, It's all brilliant! Ahahahahah!" She burst out into laughter again. "There was no me! I couldn't be in it, after all! That would make me go insane trying to figure out why I was in a story! No, it had to be changed drastically! You were the one who gave Zero blood, you were the one who fell in love with Kaname, you were the one who got kissed by Zero! Hanabusa never ended up anybody! You were always there! It's brilliant! It's a brilliant catastrophe! Oh, the beauty of it is amazing!"
"A-Amaya...You're scaring me." Amaya stopped immediately and stared at her cousin with a sad, yet calm expression on her face, a small smile forming.
"I know...I'm sorry, Yuuki. I just...I never would've thought that-" Her voice cracked and more tears welled up. "I-I...My life...I always thought..." She swallowed and bit her trembling lip. It was then they realized, the blood was all gone. Amaya sat up and said, placing a hand to her forehead where Zero shot her, "It' over. The Hallucination's finally over." She wasn't going to cry. Not now, not with the situation they were in. When she's alone and the danger is all gone, she'll snap and break down. She'll only cry then. "Let's go get those bastards." Amaya grouched, standing up and walking over to Yuuki, who was standing gracefully.
