-Belle

I woke up to my alarm going off.

"Damn..." I pushed the "off" button on the top.

I rolled over and sat up in my bed, rubbing my eyes. I went and washed up in the bathroom, changing into some fresh clothes after. I went and sat at the table in our dorm room by the living area and waited.

Shortly after this, I heard a knock on the door. I walked over and opened it. Rei and Akane stood there.

"Feeling better?" They asked simultaneously. I smiled at their predictability.

"Yes, thank you." I said.

Akane breezed by me. "I have homework to do. Don't be out too late!"

"Alright." I turned to Rei. "Shall we go?"

He nodded. "I know a place where we can go so the Disciplinary Committee doesn't find us and make us observe curfew."

I grinned. "Excellent. Let's go." I grabbed my Day Class coat and we left the Sun Dorm.

"It's a bit of a walk," Rei said apologetically. "But it's worth it."

"No problem!" I said, pushing a tree branch away from me as we entered a forest. "We still have a bit of time before the moon becomes visible, anyway."

We pushed our way uphill through some more trees, until we came to a cliff-side clearing near the water of Cross Academy.

"Wow," I said, stopping to admire the scenery. "This is... beautiful."

"And secret!" He laughed. "I found this place a couple weeks ago, and judging by the fact that the path wasn't very well packed down, I'm guessing that no one has been here in a while."

"I would have to agree with that." I said, slowly spinning on the spot and taking everything in. "This is amazing."

"I thought it would be the best place to watch the moon." He said, pointing over to the horizon, where the moon was now rising."

"Nice." I said. I ran and plopped on my stomach on the grass and stared at it in awe. "I could just stare at it for hours." I sighed.

Rei came and lay beside me. "The weirdest things make you happy."

"Nah," I said. "They're just simple things."

We sat in silence for a few minutes. He turned to me.

"Kisa, can I ask you something?"

I turned to him. "Uh... yes?"

"Matari-san!" I heard a voice say loudly in the bushes.

"Dammit!" I cursed.

Rei growled under his breath. "So much for no one finding this place."

I turned and mustered all my strength to glare at the bushes until Aido emerged.

"A word if you please." He smiled.

I blushed. I turned to Rei apologetically. "I'll be right back."

I stood and walked over to where Aido was standing. He started walking to other direction, indicating I follow him. We walked about 10 paces away from Rei was before he faced me.

"What are you doing?" He asked with narrowed eyes.

"I'm watching the moon." I said. "There's a full moon tonight."

"I know." He said. "I was watching it from my dorm room."

"Your point?"

"Why are you out past curfew?"

"Because Rei asked me to go on a walk with him and—" I broke off at Aido's smug look. "You know exactly what's going on."

"Of course!" he laughed. "I am a genius."

I blushed and looked down. "Why do you keep reminding me of that?"

"Because it's true." He smiled. "That human boy obviously adores you."

I looked down quickly. "Yeah... I know."

"Don't get too close to him!" Aido said in his sing-song voice. "Can't run the risk that you might accidentally tell him something you shouldn't."

"You wouldn't." I glared.

"What?" he played innocent.

"I knew you would do this!" I said, temper rising.

His face turned to genuine confusion. "What are you talking about?"

"I wish you hadn't saved me!" I yelled, squeezing my eyes shut. "If it means I can never be close to anyone again—"

"These are the risks you run, knowing about vampires." He said. "You need to be monitored closely. I just happen to be the unfortunate soul who has to do it..." He mumbled the last part under his breath.

"Unfortunate!" I was angry now. "It's your fault I found out!"

"It's not my fault the memory spell didn't work." He pointed out.

"So you're saying it's my fault?" I yelled again, angry that he was remaining calm.

"Not particularly... just that if you're going to know about vampires, you have to accept the responsibility that comes with knowing that secret."

"I didn't ask for this responsibility! I'd rather not have known." I gripped the sides of my head. "I never wished this on myself, you know! I was perfectly happy avoiding you all!" I added, referring to the Night Class.

"And this is why Kaname-sama thought his idea would be better." Aido said quietly.

"Then you should have let him kill me!" I cried, blinking moisture away from my eyes before it could fall. "Then I wouldn't be a burden on you!"

"You aren't a burden on me; I just need to keep a close eye on you." He said.

"And by close eye, you mean interfering in every way you can and practically gluing yourself to my side, am I right?"

"Mostly." He grinned, and I saw the tips of his fangs.

"You can't do this to me!" I yelled. "You can't just waltz in, reveal a secret of this magnitude to me, and then when the memory spell fails proceed to torture me over it!"

"I'm not trying to torture you." He said. "Just stay away from Rei and everything will be fine."

"Are you threatening me?" I demanded.

"Not especially," he said. "I am merely pointing out who you aren't to associate with."

"I can associate with whomever I—" I never finished that sentence. I was suddenly falling forward into darkness.
