Disclaimer: Still don't own Harry Potter or Vampire Knight. Enjoy!
I do have to apologize for not updating sooner. For some reason my computer won't load correctly, so it takes forever just to load a page, and even then it's all distorted. I don't know why, none of the other websites I visit are acting strange. If anyone has any idea what the problem might be, I'd appreciate the help. I don't have it blocked, or anything. Anyway, I'm posting at work right now.
Hayden yawned as she grabbed her luggage from the conveyor belt, placing it on the floor after moving out of the way. Her flight had arrived a bit early, so the man who Headmaster Cross had told her would pick her up wasn't here yet.
She gently massaged her limbs back to life, hating the pins-and-needles feeling. She would happily fall asleep, but now wasn't the time for that, so she dug into her messenger bag, pulling out a book on alchemic theory (charmed to look like a Sherlock Holmes novel to any non-magical passerby). She was two chapters in when she felt a powerful presence walk into the building. She glanced in the direction of the power, which radiated from a tall man with wavy black hair, an eye patch, and a duster. She could spot numerous weapons hidden on him, though he passed security with seemingly no problem. When he glanced directly at her, she realized that he could read her aura, too. Throwing a brief smile at the man, she took hold of her luggage and made her way towards him.
*Yagari's Point of View*
He sighed as he walked in the entrance hall of the busy airport. Of course Cross would disregard the fact that he hated vampires, pushing him to pick up this 'special' leech until he gave in just to hear the man shut up. He would have felt better about it if he was able to pull his gun on her if he needed to, but in a crowded airport that wouldn't be the best idea.
He paused, eyes widening slightly in surprise as he registered the new student's (for who else could it be?) aura. She was a vampire, all right, specifically a Level B aristocrat. He had been expecting that. What he hadn't been expecting was the foreign power she radiated, which most certainly was not vampire-like in nature.
He finally spotted the girl, who was already looking in his direction. Without needing a signal from him, she just gave a tiny smile and made her way to where he was standing. He noticed that she was graceful, even for a vampire, and she easily avoided making physical contact with anyone as she made her way through the crowd.
As she got closer, Yagari took in her appearance. Cross hadn't said her age, though she looked to be around 15 or 16, with shoulder-length ink black hair (currently messy, though she did just get off the plane), and bright, vivid green eyes. She had the typical vampire-paleness, but he could see faint scars on her skin, which confused him. Level B's had superb healing abilities, so why didn't those injuries heal completely? He shook his head. Cross had hinted that this girl was different, so that was probably related.
She was wearing a pair of comfortable blue boot-cut jeans, gray converse, a dark purple tank top, and a black coat designed to look like it was made in the Victorian-era. She had a silver Celtic moon pendant hanging from her neck on a black silk ribbon. Curious. He could feel a lot of powerful protective energy on that thing.
"Hello, sir." The girl said once she was within a few feet of him. She was obviously English, with her slight accent, but her pronunciation was clear and she bowed like she had been in Japan for years. He was surprised that the Western girl hadn't offered her hand for him to shake. At least she wasn't oblivious to Japanese culture.
"Hello." He said curtly, giving her a stiff nod back. "Yagari." She didn't seem offended in the slightest by his behavior. Or intimidated, though he was much taller than she was. Then again, she was a vampire.
"Potter Hayden." She responded, an amused glint in her eyes as she mused on the oddness of introducing herself like that. Yagari nodded again, and jerked his head in the direction of the door. Potter took the hint and took a hold of her luggage again, following him out the door.
He glanced back at the girl as she opened the car door for herself, placing the luggage in her lap (and why did she bring so little?) before closing her eyes, realizing that the gruff man probably didn't want conversation. By the time they left the parking lot, he could hear her breathing even out, indicating that she was already asleep.
'Special indeed.' He mused, glancing at her in his rear-view mirror. So far she had been nothing but polite, while the blood-suckers at the academy…well, one of them had thrown a dagger at his face his first day teaching.
Read and Review?
I'm considering having Yagari pair up with Remus (who, of course, wouldn't reject Hayden just because she's labeled a 'dark creature' by the ministry). I get that a lot of people like him with Kaien Cross, but I just don't see it. Thoughts?
