AUTHORS NOTE IMPORTANT

Hey guys I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in a while I just finished my finals. I've got to be honest here I am really not going to be focused on writing for the next year as I live in Australia will be in year 12 and sitting my HSC exams so I really need to focus on school work as for the course I'm aiming for I need to get at least 99 for my atar oh joy so yeah if I get free time like over these holidays and the summer holidays I will write even if I'm not on my laptop *cough* daydreams *cough* but yeah I am not going to abandon this story I fully intend to finish it as I have plenty of plans for Hotaru and her friends. Also remember to check out my tumblr angelofsilencesaturnia I have lots of short snippets and headcanons up there for you to check out.

Also important in case I didn't clarify it earlier it has been a year for Zero and everyone at Cross academy but it has been three years for Hotaru since she left due to the time differences of different planets/worlds. Raven joined Hotaru a year after she left the academy.

Please enjoy this short snippet from next chapter which will be a lot longer than usual to make up for not updating in a while.

Twenty Questions

"What?" the vampire hunter asked surprised at the sudden change of subject.

"Do. You. Want. To. Play. Twenty. Questions?" she repeated slowly.

"Why?"

"Because we're going to be study partners for the rest of the year aren't we? Might as well get to know one another," she rolled her eyes.

"Fine."

"Ok master of monosyllabic sentences lets start off easy how old are you?" she said leaning back against the railing.

"17 turning 18 this year" he answered.

"Ooh 5 words. See we're getting closer already" Hotaru winked.

"Ok then what about you? How old are you?" he asked.

"Now come now Zero don't you know its rude to ask a lady her age?" she fanned herself dramatically,

"You're a lady? I thought that you were a wild child that loved splashing in puddles and dancing in the rain?"

"You saw that?" Hotaru turned the bright red colour of embarrassment.

"Pretty sure many people saw you when you were coming back to the dormitory spinning around like there's no tomorrow. I saw you from a window in my dormitory" he answered.

"Believe it or not that's more Raven's thing then mine she loves the rain. I'm not normally one to dance around in it" she said not meeting his eyes.

"Really?"

"Yeah anyway, 16 turning 17 this year" Hotaru said.

'Well that's the age I'm meant to be turning this year on this planet. Time differences between planets and solar systems are so annoying,' she thought.

"Favourite colour?"

"Not sure I don't really have one" the silver haired boy replied.

"Come on gun to your head no way out what would you say is your favourite colour?"

"I guess blue?"

"Ok then so you don't have to waste a question my favourite colour would be," she looked up at the sky in thought "either midnight blue or a dark emerald green."

"Why?" he asked.

"Why what?"

"Why are those your favourite colours?" he expanded.

"You sure you want that to be your second question?" Hotaru raised an eyebrow before shrugging.

"Midnight blue I guess because it's the colour I always associate with the night sky. I think it's beautiful, dotted with the stars. Entire galaxies and universes as far as the eye can see. It's amazing. I suppose dark emerald green is because I've always associated green as the colour of life. It's the colour of chloroplasts – the colour of nature. It's an awesome colour. That and it doesn't clash with my hair."

"Let's see…do you… like chocolate?" she asked.

"Yeah I guess?" he shrugged.

"Oh thank the Lord I would have said we couldn't be friends if you didn't like chocolate" she said clutching her heart dramatically.

"Although I do have some bad experiences with homemade chocolate."

"Really?"

"Yeah I had a friend. On St Xocolatl's Day she gave me this chocolate and it almost made me throw up," Zero chuckled.

"Well I'm sure they didn't mean to give you food poisoning" Hotaru smiled tightly.

"Yeah but I'm pretty sure that her cooking would make a terrifying biological weapon," he said.

"Late, early or right on time?" the silver haired boy asked.

"A wizard never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to" she says sagely.

"Lord of the Rings?"

"Of course I love Gandalf and Aragorn is pretty amazing" her eyes lit up excitedly.

"Orlando Bloom fan?"

"Yes in Lord of the Rings, definitely not in the Trojan War. Paris is so wimpy and cowardly, that and he is the reason Eric Banner and Brad Pitt die" she says immediately.

Thanks again so much guys
