After that day, things seemed to die down over the next few weeks. Sara had agreed to stay away from Yuki, but Yuki made no promises to stay out of trouble. But on another note, after that day Yuki seemed completely normal, but still reserved as ever. He was worried. Kaien had set her up with a therapist as planned, but only one session had taken place, the therapist claiming Yuki was completely normal but that she needed to stop taking her meds. Kaname hadn't known she even had medication. No one did. "I lied so I didn't have to take therapy anymore. I'm not crazy, I just have a different way of operating." he overheard her say to a fellow night student.
She was the same when she spoke to him. Completely in her kind of normal: quiet and making odd remarks. Kaien, worried for her sake as well, had agreed with Lord Kaname to place her in the moon dorms where she regain a better hold on her vampire instincts. But this had only made her excel in her distant nature. She had yet to attend her first night class; she had requested a dorm room to herself, rather than having a roommate; and she rarely came out of that dorm, but when she did, she'd disappear for hours. Kaname knocked on her door one night. "Yuki." he said. No answer. He knocked again. "Yuki, may I come in?" "I'm busy." she responded.
That was the first he'd heard her voice in days, which signaled him that there was, in fact, a very much alive Yuki inside. Not heeding to her request, he came in anyway. Inside he was distraught, but he was completely unfazed on the outside. Her walls were completely covered in drawings. Different symbols and people ansd creatures...all drawn to look like professional art. There she sat on her bed, hand sketching like a car going 60 miles per hour. "It's...almost time for class. Have you been drawing all this time?" he asked. Her hand froze as she looked around. "No...I don't want to go to class." she simply said. He frowned and sat by her.
"Yuki...has something happened...to make you act this way. Moodswings, illness, locked doors, the drawing?" "No, not at all." She went back to drawing. He stopped her hand and she looked at him. "Yuki, I need you to be honest with me. I'm your brother, you can tell me anything that's bothering you." he said softly. She blinked, her countenance as straight as a possible. "I'm perfectly fine, brother. It just takes time...to adjust into a new skin." she said. He nodded...even if it didn't answer his question. Sometimes he wondered...did she act this way to get back at him from hiding so many secrets from her?
Was there something going on that she didn't share because he hadn't opened up to her? His thoughts were interrupted when she hugged him. He wrapped his arms around her and set his chin on her head. "Is something wrong?" "...Feed me, Kaname." she said into his neck. He felt her warm hand on his chest, her small body pushed upon his and he melted into her hands, putting a hand on the back of her neck. "Take what you need, Yuki." he said into her hair. She smirked into his lips dragging her tongue across his pure white skin, and when he felt her sharp teeth piercing his neck he was in ecstasy. "Yuki...let me..." He didn't finish before his fangs dug into her neck.
She moaned as she drank his blood. Her bite started to hurt...but it felt like heaven to him. Suddenly his eyes widened as her rich blood made images flash in his head.
She was screaming at the top of her lungs.
For them to let her go.
At first all he could see was half of her face, covered in tear stains and dirt.
A group of mens' silhouettes, illuminated by a bonfire, made the vision dreary as they chanted.
"NO! PLEASE." the girl screamed.
Her blood-curdling cries reached their max volume as the risen dagger went straight into her heart.
She was struck a total of seven more times...
Before he saw Yuki's pained face suddenly become straight...her eyes rolling up in her head.
He pulled away, startled and worried; and she did the same, her mouth covered in blood. "Sorry, I know I bite hard." she said as she wrapped her arms around him. "Yuki..." his whisper came out in a deep tone. She smiled despite his serious expression. "Don't be so serious, love." she said as she crashed her lips against his. He didn't hesitate to kiss back...but his eyes were open, thriving in fear. She kept her eyes closed, but her hand ran over her bitemarks.
Her deep, human teeth bitemarks.
