This chapter's a little sub-par from my previous work... mainly because it's 1 am and I didn't have time to beta. So if the dialogue seems off or there's a spelling mistake, pardon me. My next chapter will be better :)

-Belle

"You sure are quiet today." Akane said to me during a break between classes. "Everything alright?"

"Yeah." I said, yawning. "I'm just tired."

She looked away with a hurt expression, and I felt a twinge of pain.

Sorry... for keeping you out of things, Akane... I thought sadly.

She looked at me. "You didn't sleep, did you." It was a statement instead of a question.

I met her gaze. "No."

She patted my cheek kindly. "I can tell. Do you want me to tell the Nurse you needed to go home?"

"No." I said. "It's okay. I think I'll make it anyway." I sneezed. Akane jumped.

"Do you have a cold?" She searched my face as if the answer were written on it.

"Maybe." I said. "I went outside last night."

"At 2 am?" She nearly yelled. "What on Earth for?"

"I just went for a walk to get some air after my nightmares."

"Baka." She said, glaring at me. "Come on, let's go back to class."

It was dusk when we left the school building to head back to Sun Dorm.

"Come on, you." Akane linked her arm through mine. "Let's get you home before you drop dead."

I laughed lightly at her joke. We made it to the Night Class gate after the crowd, as per usual. It opened.

"Dammit." I muttered. "Let's go."

"What?" Akane asked. "They aren't going to eat you."

I giggled hysterically. Oh, if she only knew. "I suppose not." I said. "But that Kaname Kuran creeps me out." That part wasn't a lie. I shuddered.

"Oh I don't think he's that bad." Akane said.

Again, if she only knew. How calmly he's discussed my death... I shuddered again.

"I still don't like him."

Akane shrugged, glancing at the now visible Night Class. "I've always really admired Ichijo..." she blushed. "And Aido seems to be stalking you again."

"Dammit!" My cheeks burned and I looked around frantically. "Where?"

"I'm kidding." She said, bemused. "But now I know who you admire."

I glared at her. "I admire no—"

"Heyyy guys!" A voice sounded behind us.

"Hey Rei!" Akane smiled behind me, and I turned around.

"Hi Rei." I smiled. "How are you?"

"Wondering where you two have been lately." He narrowed his eyes in annoyance. "I barely even see you guys in class anymore!"

"We're there every day, moron." Akane said to him.

"Well yeah!" he blushed slightly. "I knew that, but every time I leave class you guys are gone so quickly."

"I've been busy." I supplied. "And I've kinda been just dragging Akane along. I'm sorry."

He crossed his arms. "Make it up to me."

"How!" I complained.

"See you guys later." Akane laughed. "I'm going to go back to the dorm while you two finish fighting."

"Ugh." I groaned.

"You have to make it up to me." Rei smiled. "Are you doing anything after dinner?"

"No, why?" I asked.

"Come on a walk with me after." He said. "There should be a full moon tonight."

My eyes widened and I grinned. "Really?"

He nodded. "Yup. Knew you'd like that."

"Consider me sorry!" I said. "I should wrong you more often." I teased.

"Do me a favour and don't." He made an unimpressed face.

"Oh come on," I said, poking him. "If it gets me to take a night stroll with you why wouldn't you want me to do it more often?"

He pretended to ponder. "Well..."

I slapped his arm. "Jerk."

"Ow!" He said loudly. "What the—"

"What do we have here?" A silky voice behind me asked.

I whirled around and drowned in turquoise eyes.

"Aido." I exhaled the rest of my oxygen to stay his name. I immediately felt my head whirling. I grasped onto Rei's right arm for support.

Aido raised a blond eyebrow. "Who's this?"

"Oh him?" I said, glancing from Aido to Rei, who at the moment looked very confused. "This is Rei, he's um, my childhood friend."

"Rei Takahashi, pleased to meet you." Rei said. There was a mutual nod between them.

Aido turned his gaze to Rei. "Is she okay?" He motioned with his chin to me clinging to his arm.

"I'm fine." I said, straightening up. "Is there anything you need, Aido?" I asked him.

"Oh, no." He said. "I just wondered who your... friend was here." He smiled and turned to walk away. "I might need to talk to you later though, so stay where I can find you." He winked. "Evening, Takahashi."

"What did he want?" Rei said to me as Aido left.

"Oh you know Aido," I said as a half-hearted attempt at a joke. "Always flirty with the Day Class girls."

Rei made an uneasy face. "I guess."

"Hey," I said, nudging him. "Let's go back, eh? Don't want to be late for supper or we might not finish before the moon's out."

We started walking on the Day Class bridge. I could nearly see the Day Class Dorm when I suddenly started feeling dizzy. I stumbled to the side and grabbed Rei's arm again.

"Whoa there," He said. "Are you sure you're okay?"

I sneezed. "Yup." I said. "I just tripped over my own feet."

He put a hand to my forehead that felt like ice. I winced.

"No you didn't." He said. "You're feverish. You're burning up!" He took one of my arms that was wrapped around his and draped it over his shoulders. "Let's get you home."

He was good and walked me right to my Dorm door. Akane answered, her expression changing from calm to shock when she saw the state I was in.

"What's happened to her?" Akane asked, panicked.

"Nothing horrible." Rei assured her, taking my arm off of him. "It's just a fever. Do you think she's getting a cold?"

"Yes." Akane growled, looking at me with narrowed eyes. "She went outside in the cold last night."

Rei glared at me. "You didn't."

I half-smiled. "Yeah, I did. I'll go lay down and you guys can come see me after dinner. If I'm feeling better by then Rei, I'll still take that walk with you."

He smiled. "Okay. Get your rest."

Akane nodded. "We'll be back later."

I watched the two of them leave and I went and lay on my bed, dizziness returning.

It's because I went outside in my pajamas last night. I thought.

No, Another part of me responded. It's because Aido made you stay out in the cold that much longer than you needed to.

"Ugh." I groaned, rolling over. I pulled the sheets up over my head and set my alarm for when I assumed Rei and Akane would be done with dinner. Then I let myself drift off to sleep.

- Question to you guys: Give me some ideas on what the Stu/Sues should look like! I haven't given them a physical description yet :/ How do you picture them? And yes I apologize for the Stu but the book never really mentions any Day Class guys so... :/
