Me: I'm such a fucking genius. Leaving all of you guys with a cliff hanger FOR TWO YEARS. Praise me.

Aidou: Ew. Never.

Me: PLEASE AIDOU, BABY? PLEASE? GIVE ME ONE PRAISE? ZERO TOLD ME I WAS PRETTY.

Zero: I did no such thing.

Yuuki: I think you're pretty Author-san! (But your personality is horrible.)

Me: Shut up Yuuki. No one asked for your opinion.

Yuuki: D:

Zero & Kaname: I'll kill you.

Me: On a sidenote, I'm shocked I decided to update. But whatever! Shiki, disclaimer!

Shiki: Vampire Knight belongs to Matsuri Hino. And the author wishes to offend people who writes their OCs with half vampires because the idea is overly used and cliche. Thank you.

Chapter Eight

Racism

"I'm a fucking walrus."

"Stop lying! You're not a damn walrus! You're a vampire!" Aidou shouted, backing up in shock. His face had grown deathly pale, and his hands were shaking. "But how? How are you a vampire? You don't have our scent, and I've never seen you crave blood!"

Miki—ever the cheerful blonde with secrets—sighed, rolling her eyes. "I already told you, I'm not a vampire. I'm a walrus." She hummed cheerfully, playing with her teeth. She probed at the fangs with a finger, giggling once in a while at the sheer sharpness of it. "Gawd, I love being a vampi—I mean a walrus. I love being a walrus. Hahaha…"

"But—but, but…the fangs! The eyes!" Miki tugged off the realistically looking fake teeth and stuck her fingers in her eyeballs, taking out the red contacts. "But…but…" Now Aidou was starting to feel ridiculous for even believing that she was a vampire for a second. He began to grow frustrated. If anyone ever found out that he thought she was a vampire at one moment, they would surely never let him live it down. Ever. Not until he perished in the sun light at all.

"They were fake. Duh." Miki patted his shoulders in comfort when she moved closer to him. "Honestly, I had a bigger chance of being confused for a werewolf."

"Well…Originally, I thought you were a werewolf."

"I'm not. I'm a werewo—I mean, I'm a walrus." Miki began whistling innocently, twiddling her fingers behind her back. "Uhh…right. Well I'm going back to my dorm. Don't follow me, okay? Just stay where you are, or else I'll call the cops on you. Although I can't call the cops since we're in school, BUT I'LL DO IT. I'LL GET THE COPS ON YOU. EVEN IF I'M GOING TO BE THE ONE ARRESTED FOR RECORDING YOU IN THE SHOWER."

He gaped. Pause. Then he rushed towards her, "YOU RECORDED ME IN THE SHOWER?"

Miki threw herself against the tree and screamed in shock, "WHO TOLD YOU THAT? THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET!"

"YOU DID." Aidou screeched and ran his hand through his hair in panic. What would happen if his family saw the video? His face was drained of any color he had. Dread ran through his cold body. His private had been officially exposed. No more secrets to hide…No more mystery. His eyes welled up with tears and he dropped to the ground. "Why cruel world…why must you bestow upon me this she-devil-werewolf-walrus girl?"

"That's mean."

"Shut up!"

"I barely did a thing though? I mean come on, all I did was record you in the shower, take some pictures of you while you were naked and sleeping—sleeping naked even, AND I SOLD THEM TO YOUR REALLY DEDICATED FAN GIRLS. I did nothing wrong. America told me that me we had the freedom to do anything we wanted."

"THIS IS JAPAN."

"Hurray for no communism!" Miki retorted effortlessly, throwing her fist in the air.

Aidou exhaled loudly in irritation and slumped on the ground right next to her. Finally, he lifted his head up and glanced up to see the tan girl sitting across from him. "Are you…Are you still mad at me at all?" Miki stared at him for the longest time and stayed silence. The tension between them was tense and stifling. Finally, a smile flitted across her face. She dug inside her pocket and presented a small wrapped candy, tossing it to him. Aidou caught it with ease, face scrunching up in curiosity. "What is this?"

"It's candy for you because I'm a pedophile dying to get into your pants."

He snorted before adding sarcastically, "Wow. I love it."

"Do you really?"

"Of course not you fool." Aidou laid his back against the tree and huffed annoyed with the young girl. Why did she have to grate his nerves so often? Why did he keep coming back to her even though she caused him trouble when he did nothing to her? Okay, so he may have eaten her food once or twice. So what? It wasn't as bad as her selling naked photos and videos of him; him and his desirable body. The blonde blinked, watching her settle right next to him on the ground, mimicking his actions and laid her back against the tree also. The silence stayed between them for a while. It wasn't painfully awkward, but at the same time there was a thick tension between them. They hadn't talked for a few weeks after he had ditched her because he thought Miki was stalking him. Finally, Aidou decided to cut through the air with his sharp voice and asked, "Are you ever going to tell me what the hell you are?"

Miki arched an eyebrow and gave him a condescending stare. "I'm human."

He called her bluff, "Don't lie to me. The Night Class isn't stupid and neither are you, in spite of the ridiculous act you put up. The scent of your blood gives it away automatically." Aidou gradually began to move closer to Miki, lips nearing her base of her neck. His nose twitched and he pulled back, but remained close to keep eye contact with her. Her eyes were practically glowing and he sensed that she was delighted. But why? With a frown, he then added with a hint of disgust, "Your blood smells extremely foul. It forces you to stick out the crowd amongst humans."

"Keen observations you have there," Miki commented idly. Her heart began beating wildly with the little distance they had between each other. She tried not to focus on it, but she knew her cheeks were growing warmer the more she could feel his breath blow against her skin. Surprisingly, it was cool. It didn't radiate heat. Out of nowhere, she questioned him, "What do you think of fairies?"

"They're annoying," Aidou responded immediately. "Their sense of humor is terrible, and they can either help or hurt people. Fairies might go out of its way to help a human, and then turn around and harm another for no apparent reason. They can be generous, but manipulative."

"What do you think about the smell of their blood?"

"It reeks with the smell of…" Realization came crashing down upon him like a ton of bricks.

"It reeks with the smell of death but tastes like the fountain of youth," Miki mused, clapping mockingly. "Isn't it ironic? Haha, IRON-ic! Fairies hate iron."

With the newfound knowledge, Aidou hurriedly questioned her, "Then how are you able to survive in this environment? Most of the fairy population retrieved into the forest due to pollution and because they wanted isolationism!"

"PISH POSH. Those fairies were just a bunch of wieners who didn't want to interact with other species! Plus they're assholes! I may not have been the best musician or write music like everyone else, but I'm pretty damn good at physical activities! THE NERVE OF THEM TO KICK ME OUT OF MY HOME WHEN THEY FOUND OUT I HAD A HINT OF IRISH BLOOD IN MY BODY. IT WASN'T EVEN A LOT," Miki began rambling in anger, screaming and throwing her hands in the air out of fury.

Aidou backed away from her in case she might have slapped him on accident. He furrowed his eyebrows and gave her an inquisitive look intently. "What does it matter that you have a little bit of Irish blood in you?"

"EVERYTHING. Irish fairies are warlike instead of artistic. That's why I'm here in this damn forsaken school surrounded by humans!" Her face crumpled into what look liked grief. "I can't go back home to get…fairy food." The vampire slapped himself in the face. Of course she would still be thinking about food. Miki was still the same person inside out. The only thing that changed now was that he discovered her true race. But she was a fairy? Out of all the mythical creatures that existed, she was a fairy. "Still can't believe you thought I was a werewolf. That's pretty funny."

"Shut up," Aidou snapped irately. "Besides, if you're a fairy, where are your magical powers? How come you actually forgot we were vampires when Shiki erased your memories?"

"My magic is different. It only pertains to anything connected with nature and war. Vampires on the other hand are straight up assholes. You guys get these super powers and have the ability to manipulate people's memories. Meanwhile, I get to grow trees or create weapons to my liking. Plus, vampire magic are stronger than fairies. Your race is more adapted to the world."

"Oh." He eyed her up and down. "Do you have wings?"

"What? No!" She seemed appalled. "I got those torn off a long time ago when I was banished."

"Wouldn't that make you useless?"

"I'm a warlike fairy. I don't need wings to get around. Also, humans have technology. Dude, you're supposed to be smarter than me! Why are you asking me all these idiotic questions?"

"I haven't seen a fairy since I was young! Cut me some slack!" Miki rolled her eyes but nodded, motioning with her hand for him to continue asking trivial questions. Aidou checked the time on his watch and decided to just ask her all the questions left. It was getting late and Kaname may be getting suspicious. "How old are you? Is this your actual form? How come you eat so much like a werewolf? Are fairies always so ugly like you? Why did you decide to tell me your secret?" Okay, she wasn't really ugly, but he's seen prettier fairies when he was younger—before they retreated into the forest.

"I'm seventeen in human world but four-hundred and eighty-six in fairy. Yes, this is my actual form. Fairies look like humans too. I eat so much because I'm fat, not because I'm related to a werewolf you asshole. AND I AM NOT UGLY. I AM BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU. WAY TO MAKE ME SO SELF CONSCIOUS ABOUT MYSELF." She jumped on top of him, trying to strangle him before he flipped their position. Aidou's hands were beside her face and he stared down at her, trying to figure out the situation. "Get off me you ungrateful vampire!"

"Not until you tell me the answer to the last question," he murmured. Aidou noticed how her gray eyes were darting to the side before she finally looked at him. He noticed how stiff she became and the sudden catch of her breath. Her cheeks were becoming red and pink lips began quivering slightly. It struck a chord somewhere inside of him. Did Miki finally realize how attractive he was and now decided she would swoon to his charming personality? He wouldn't really mind the thought of that. Aidou absolutely detested the fact that she would look at anyone besides him when he met her first. Miki was interesting too. She was literally and figuratively different than any girls he had met. Aidou repeated his question, "Why did you tell me your secret?"

Her eyes flickered with interest. "The entire Night Class had already suspected me of not being human. It's pointless to keep up a stupid charade. Isn't that right, Kuran-san?"

"Wha—?"

Aidou jumped up, seeing a bunch of shadows walk towards them. His jaw dropped, agape and aghast. They had seen everything. They heard everything. "You guys have been here the entire time?"

"Yep!" Ichijou chirped, smiling widely. "Haha, who knew that our Miki-chan isn't human."

"Meeeee!" Miki exclaimed, cheering. She got off the ground and brushed the dirt off her track pants. "Well this is awkward now! So I'm just going to go back to my room and umm…watch porn I guess. YEAH. I'm going to watch some porn! It's not just any porn—GAY PORN!" As she began walking away, Shiki grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and tugged her backwards. "HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

"Save your inappropriate activities for later. We have more important things to discuss, " Shiki stated plainly. His eyes bored into her with interest and a spark of amusement. He was dealing with a fairy. Not a simple idiotic human, but an idiotic fairy. The side of his lips twitched upwards. Watanabe Miki truly was interesting. He exchanged a glance with Rima. She merely shrugged and crossed her arms.

"Is something bad going to happen to me?"

"Of course not, Watanabe-san," Kaname calmly replied, smiling. "Please relax. We wish to do no harm to you."

"Why can't I go back to my dorm then?"

"We need to bring you back to the office with the headmaster to be interrogated," Kaname said.

"I don't like the sound of that," Miki stated, frowning. Aidou grimaced. He hated how small she appeared now, being surrounded by noble vampires against her own will. Her voice was beginning to lack the obnoxious volume it always had and toned down greatly. The excited expression on her face died away and faded into hesitance along with fear. He could hear the way her heartbeat was thumping madly against her chest. Her eyes were darting all over the place frantically, planning an escape. Miki was scared.

"Please Miki-chan, we just want to talk. It's nothing bad, we promise," Ichijou chuckled.

"Can I kick you in the balls if you break your promise?" All the men cringed inwardly, including the manly Kain and emotionless Shiki. Ruka chortled, smiling at the ridiculous idea. Rima glanced at Ruka, both of their eyes reflecting mirth.

"Umm…"

Kaname sighed, exasperated. "It's a promise."

"WHAT?" Aidou shrieked, cupping his privates. "Kaname-sama, you can't be serious about letting her kick us in that area! I'm supposed to create babies in the future!"

"Hanabusa, calm down," Kain said, grabbing the blonde by his shoulders.

"Indeed I am," he mused. Lucky for Kaname, he could just sacrifice his minions to appease Miki's anger if they did break their promise. "I assure you, nothing bad will happen to you Watanabe-san. I merely wish to inform Headmaster Cross about your identity and what actions we must take if necessary."

"Fine. But I request one thing."

"And what would that be?"

The sparkle in Miki's gray eyes returned and she shouted with feverish excitement, "I want a hamburger."

"..."

"WHY CAN'T YOU ACT SERIOUS FOR ONCE?" Aidou yelled, hitting her over the head.

She was not disturbed by the light slap to the head. It did no damage and even he knew that. "I AM BEING PRETTY DAMN SERIOUS. MY STOMACH IS GROWLING AND IT'S CAVING IN. I WANT A HAMBURGER NOW."

"YOU ARE THE WORST FAIRY I HAVE EVER MET! PLUS YOU'RE FAT AND GREEDY."

"FETCH ME MY HAMBURGER YOU PEASANT."

Aidou was about to let out a series of remarks before Kain slapped a hand over his mouth. Kaname addressed the blonde properly, "Aidou. Please abide to Watanabe-san's wish this one time and get her the desired food she craves." He flashed a practiced genuine smile.

Miki sat in the office, snacking on a bunch of WacDonald burgers. She waited with Kaname's followers as the pureblood himself discussed things with Kaien. The headmaster kept glancing back and forth between the leader and her. Finishing all twenty burgers, she balled them up and tossed them in the trash. "That was good!" she exclaimed.

Aidou wrinkled his nose. "Your breath smells like mustard and ketchup with processed meat. It's repulsive."

"IT'S GOOD."

"It's covered in fat and oil," Shiki and Rima added blandly.

"Was it just me, or was the cheese burnt?" Ichijou mumbled mindlessly.

"More importantly, look at how they package their food." Ruka looked at the hamburger wrapping that piled over the trash can. "It's terrible."

Kain sighed, "I'll go open the windows."

"STOP MAKING FUN OF ME GUYS. YOU'RE HURTING MY FEELINGS." The Night Class felt the tense air being lifted slightly. A couple of days ago, Ichijou's grandfather had came to the dorm and disrupted the atmosphere. Ever since then, things had been rough. Perhaps being around Miki wasn't too painful if she was able to lift up the mood. Miki, oblivious to the inner conflict the vampires were going through, took out her phone and began surfing the web.

"What are you looking at?" Shiki wondered, leaning close to her. Aidou shot him a glare, but the maroon-haired boy dismissed it.

"Stuff."

"What kind of stuff?" He caught a glimpse of it. "Why are two men kissing?"

"Uhhh…."

Aidou swiped Miki's phone and glanced at it. Indeed, she had pictures of two guys kissing each other passionately. "I know what this is. It's called yaoi!" Everyone turned to look at him. "I heard the fan girls talk about it!"

"Hanabusa, stop talking."

"Yeah dude, you're just making this situation worse."

"Says the girl who watches porn," Shiki mused. Miki mimicked his words and stuck out her tongue. "How immature."

"Hey Shiki, are you composed of barium, silicon, and carbon cause you sure are BASIC. OOOHH! KILL EM'. Get it? Barium is Ba, silicon is Si, and Carbon is C? I insulted you using the element symbols from the periodic table? I am such a genius."

Everyone in the room shook their head. To think, that they had the wonderful chance to stumble upon a grown fairy. It was rare to find the mythical creatures when they usually hide. Except it had to be the one and only Miki—the girl browsing through her smart phone for yaoi. It was so disappointing. There was an abrupt cough coming from the desk and the room became silent.

Cross Kaien smiled at all of them. "Miki-chan, since you are not human, I have decided what I can do with you."

"Is it bad?"

"Of course not! It's good actually," the headmaster chirped, laughing in joy.

"I'm not transferring to the Night Class am I?"

"OH GOD NO!" Aidou pleaded.

"Not that either! I have decided that you will now be one of the prefects!" Out of nowhere, he pulled a string attached to a ball, and confetti's flew all over the place along with a sign that said congratulations rolled down the wall. "Hurray!"

"How long have you been waiting to use that?" Kaname inquired, dusting some confetti off his shoulders.

"I actually installed it a few days ago in case Zero-kun decides to come out the closet."

"Ah."

"Kaien-sensei, I never said I would accept the duty of being a prefect," Miki said. Grey eyes stared into the headmaster's coldly and the air became chill. "You are deciding things too quickly without my consent."

"Isn't that what you do when you take pictures of me naked and sell it?" Aidou muttered.

Ruka slapped him.

Kaien and Kaname looked at each other. Kaname mouthed, "I got this." and stepped forward. He flashed a polite smile. "Watanabe-san, if you are the prefect, as long as you follow the rules and enforce them, you are allowed in the kitchen any time you feel the need to eat."

"Oh…Okay, I'll do it."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you, Watanabe-san." Kaname handed her the prefect arm band.

She took it, shoving it in her pocket. "No problem. Since that's all solved, I'M GOING TO THE KITCHEN. BYYEEE LOSERS!" Miki hurriedly ran out the door with glee. They heard a crash, before whooping until it disappeared.

Kaien blinked in shock. "Is this really all it takes to win a fairy over? Bribe them with food?"

"Apparently," the rest of the Night Class replied.

No one's balls got hurt in the end.

Only Aidou's pride.

Me: Terrible update, I know guys. So yeah, I told you so. She wasn't a vampire or a werewolf. FOOLED YOU GUYS AFTER ALL. YOU WEREN'T EVEN EXPECTING IT. MUAHAHAHA.

Aidou: I really thought she was going to be a walrus.

Me:...I should have made her a walrus.

Shiki: Reviews are appreciated.
