Just to make sure, there will be some gore in here. This is the only time I'll warn anyone, 'cause you should read the ratings on things if you're sensitive. Also, I will update a chapter whenever I finish it. Which should be ATLEAST one every week. If one isn't uploaded, that either means that I am working hard on one chapter or I'm just busy with things.
I had been taking a rest in a chair in my room, curled up and fitting perfectly into the brown chair in my white and black dress with black socks. I woke up, though when I had finished seeing all of Kaname's past, up until just a few minutes ago. I saw that Rido had attacked and killed Haruka. Kaname destroyed him, and Juuri died turning Yuuki human. I'll bet Kaname is sad right now. Although, that's obvious without seeing him.
He had saved Yuuki from a Level E and then brought her to Kurosu Kaien's home. I'm worried about him. It ended after he left, but where will he go? And will he stay in Yuuki's life? He seemed so sad walking out of the house, so lonely, so rejected.
Like me.
...
I got up and ran out of the room. I knew here he was, if I could get to him in time, I could... I could... what could I do? I stopped running. I don't know, I could just figure it out on the way. I'll help him find somewhere. I'm sure a few nobles are after him and trying to take custody of him, so if I can get to him before anyone else...
I started to run again. Faster this time. As soon as I got to the door, I heard Ichiou's booming voice as I touched the handle.
"And just where are you going?" I just looked at him and stepped away from the door.
"That's right right, nowhere. Sen, please watch her." He turned to me after looking at Sen. "I'll be going out. Stay here, Hime-sama." I just nodded with a blank face. I had gotten much better at unemotional faces since that ordeal. Sometimes, I really feel no emotion.
He walked out the door and the 'slam' echoed throughout the mansion. "Hime-sama, please stay here." I only nodded. I walked up the light brown carpet to the stair railing that over looked the door. I wanted to see what he was doing. I waited and looked through the small black metal bars. I waited about an hour before the door opened. I saw Ichiou, and another small figure.
The person had a light blue coat and yellow scarf with brown pants and shoes. I looked at the face to see mahogany brown hair and brown eyes. I instantly realized who it was.
"Kuran... Kaname?" I was surprised he was here, but I guess that makes sense. I mean this is Ichiou!
"Ah, Hime-sama," Ichiou started to notice me. "Would you mind taking Kaname-sama to the spare room?" I gave him an odd look.
"'The' spare room?" Did he even know how many empty rooms there were in his own house? Well, they all have furniture, just no one uses them. Again, why do people need such big houses? Mansions?
He sighed as if I was the difficult one. "Hime-sama, there is a spare room next to yours and Takuma's. Please help him settle in, we will be having dinner in 30 minutes." I nod and walk down the stairs. Well, more like run.
I held my hand out to Kaname. "Kuran-sama, please follow me." He didn't take my hand, but only waited for me to go. I get that, I mean, I'm acting all hyper, and he knows nothing about me. Except that I was born from the Tsukikus, I'm a pureblood, and I live with Ichiou. Maybe he knows my age.
I sighed as I went up the stairs. Ichiou made his way to his office while I stopped to make sure. I turned back to Kaname. I know what I'm about to say will probably freak him the fuck out, but I know he'll keep a unemotional face. More like a mask.
I wish he wouldn't wear masks.
It's funny, if you think about it, I've known him for more than 10,000 years and I'm not even ten years old, and he knows almost nothing about me. Weird.
"It wasn't your fault, Kana-chan." I gave him a big, whole-hearted smile. I had secretly wanted to call him Kana-chan. I thought if I did, it would mean he's my friend, since friends always do that, right?
His eyes had widened for a split second. "Excuse me?" I only kept my smile.
"Haruka didn't die with regret, or cursing you for 'taking your first child'," I tried to put air quotes on 'taking your first child. He just looked at me, although I could tell he was trying to figure me out, or find any signs of an attack. I know him so well, I think.
"Kana-chan, I won't attack you."
My grin got wider, if that was even possible. "That's what all the attackers say, so why should I believe you?" My smile didn't drop.
"I know you won't believe me, but I've been having dreams of your past for a while, and I don't know why. But I saw Rido kill Haruka. And Yuki getting taken to a hunter's home." His eyes had widened. I guess he did believe me.
It wasn't how I wanted him to find out how I know about him, but I couldn't hold it in, I'm just so happy I get to meet him!
"Y-You saw everything?" I nodded at him. He slowly put his head down. He must still think I'm the enemy.
I hugged him, which seemed to take him by surprise. I patted his head and stoked his back. "It's okay, you and me understand each other. Your parents and my parents abandoned us. We were both rejected for things we didn't have to do." I felt something wet drip onto my shoulder. Was he crying?
I pulled back to look at him. He was crying, though he looked like he didn't want to. Well, who wouldn't? Usually, when people cry, it's because of bad things. I always wondered how you could cry for bad and good things.
I started to pet his head. "It's okay, it's okay, Kana-chan." I felt his arms wrap around my back. "You don't have to be alone, it's okay Kana-chan. You can have me!" I pulled back again to look at him.
"Yume can be your friend!" His eyes widened as I smiled at him.
"W-Why would you want to be friends with me of you know all about me?"
"Kana-chan, this isn't like you, but I get why." I took both of his hands in my small, chubby fingers. "I like Kana-chan, you're sad and alone like me. I don't care how many lives you've taken. I still like Kana-chan." He kept staring at me, then he smiled. I almost wanted to laugh. I'm happy I can make him smile.
I almost forgot about his room. "Um... um... I'll show you to your room." He just smiled at me.
"I still don't know anything about you, Yume." I stopped and frowned.
"Why would you want to?" He frowned.
"Because you know everything about me."
"W-Well, seeing your past doesn't tell me everything."
"Friends aren't supposed to have secrets, right?" That sounded more like a question than trying to convince someone.
"Well, my only friend was Takuma-san. My whole life was the Tsukiku mansion. I spent most of my time in the library, and other times..." He looked at me with sympathy. "Don't look at me like that. It doesn't suit you. I get why they weren't really my parents, it happens to all purebloods, and how I disgraced them."
"Disgraced?" Oops. I guess I said something I shouldn't have. I could just show him the letter, so I don't have to say all of it. I slowly turned to him.
"I-I can show you after dinner, if you really want to know." He nodded and took my hand in his.
"You know about me, and yet you still want to be my friend. I feel.. sorta happy. You have a friendly aura around you. I… like you too." He smiled a smile I thought I would never see.
"O-Okay... It's funny, you've only known me for a few minutes, and yet you want to be my friend."
"I guess it's just an instinct that grows after a while." I smiled as we continued. This time, we held hands.
I giggled as I closed the door to my room. "Nini! Nini! Guess what?" He couldn't stop smirking like an idiot as I picked Nini up.
You became friends with Kaname? Met Kaname?
"How'd you know?" She sighed as I picked up the letter off of my dresser behind a lamp and stuffed them in a small pocket at the side of my dress. Better to make sure I don't forget where it is, or it's gonna be a little awkward when Kaname gets here.
How many times do I have to tell you that I'm in your head?!
"Can't a 5 year old forget?"
Mmmmmm... She just grumbled at me.
My started to hurt, and seconds later it was exploding. The best way to explain, is a nuclear bomb was going off 7 times per second in my head. I don't actually know much about nuclear bombs, though. I'm 5! I started to hold my head, I knelt down to the ground and squeezed my eyes shut, pushing as hard as I could as if that would make the pain go away.
My head was hurting to the beat of my heart, which might be going 100 miles an hour right now. The pain slowly subsided after nearly 5 minutes. Though it wasn't enough to stop me from hiccuping and sobbing.
I felt something warm run down my left cheek. I rubbed it off to pull back and see blood on my thumb and index finger. A mirror... A mirror... Where's a mirror? I looked threw a few of the drawers in the table next to my bed and found a small, black mirror in the second to last drawer.
I looked in the mirror and saw that my right eye was completely black, or at least, tried to see. My eye had no color besides black, now. No white, no brown. Blood was making its way to my chin from my eye, and some of the blood was almost splattered from me rubbing my face while holding my head in pure agony.
Though my head was still throbbing, it was somewhat bearable.
I put the mirror down and jerked my head towards Nini, but started falling and caught myself on the bed. What was that? I looked up at Nini, but she was very, very blurry, and I saw two of her! One was a lot more see-through than the other, and obviously fake. Normal vision isn't supposed to do that, right? Well, not unless you stick your finger under your eye. I used to do that when I was bored all the time.
Now that I kind of focus more, I can 'see' that everything that I don't focus my vision in seems more warped. What's happening to me? My right eye has just messed everything up!
Maybe... it was the human eye that messed it up.
"The... The h-human eye?" I was stuttering with the pain and horrible vision I currently had.
Does that other eye look human to you? I just groaned. More like a hiss/whimper.
"Well if that's true, can't I just get rid of the human one?" I don't think there would be any way to fix by this doing anything else. Especially since I don't know exactly what caused it. I think it might be my body evolving or something. If that's correct, then maybe my human eye will eventually turn, too. But if it's not turning now, that might mean it will turn much later than tomorrow or something. And I can't walk around with this kind of vision! Much less literally walk!
But, if you get rid of the human eye, it might not regenerate.
"And if it does, it will probably be human and still mess up my vision."
There was a few minutes of silence while I thought about what might happen if I somehow got rid of the eye.
You can use a knife to get rid of the eye. Just make sure you wrap it up in some napkin or something like that, make sure it's not noticeable.
"Where would I get a knife?"
The kitchen. I nearly face palmed. Duh.
"O-Okay. I'll be back, then."
There were two kitchens in the house, luckily. They had and empty room near the dining hall, so they made a kitchen there and left the other kitchen, untouched. So there should be a knife there.
Wow. A 5 year old making their way to a kitchen to cut their eye out. I wonder what sort of punishment normal human parents would make up for their child.
Julia told me I have the mind of an 8 year old. I guess it makes sense. Pureblood vampires and Level B vampires, the vampires with only one power per clan and are only three quarters vampire, the rest human, are usually more advanced than normal humans and and Level C vampires, vampires that are most common, used as servants, have no powers, and are half human half vampire.
I wonder if you can consider a Level D vampire, a vampire, since they were originally human. Level D's aren't advanced at all, and are turned by the only thing that can turn them, Purebloods, or Level A vampires. They have many powers and have senses that are more advanced than that of a human's. They can turn humans to vampires, but after a while, the Level D's turn to Level E's, meaning end. They are blood thirsty and are the sole purpose of the Hunter's association.
I opened the door and noticed that my headache was gone. Maybe that will make it easier to walk.
I finally arrived at the kitchen. I took a few wrong turns, but I eventually got here. I slowly opened the door and looked to see if anyone was here. A good thing about what I was about to do was that the kitchen had walls that could stop a scent from getting to a vampire. A pureblood might be able to smell it if it's strong enough.
I walked in and closed the door behind me. I had made upsurge no maids or butlers noticed or followed me. I walked around the kitchen. The kitchen had a metal table in the middle with two big stoves and lots of cabinets and fewer drawers. I saw a container with 8 big kitchen knives. I grabbed one and took a breath. My hands were shaking and my heart was pounding.
I may have sounded confident, but vampires can lie! It's not like being immortal blocks pain or anything! I took another deep breath.
I shut my mouth and bit my lip as the knife started to dive under my eyeball. It hurt, a lot, but I still tried to keep my mouth shut I just realized something.
Do I have to stab a fork into my eyeball, too?
No, no! What am I thinking? I can just use my hand.
My hand slowly made it's way to the knife and on top of the eyeball. My eyeball and lids were automatically twitching to close. I couldn't really stop it.
"A-h, ah, ahhaah..." I was making odd noises as the pain continued and gradually got worse. My hand finally reached the end of the eyeball. The only bad part is the cord that connects the eye.
"Here goes... ngggh... nothing..." My hand had ripped the eyeball from the cord, and my vision was now just very, very, very blurry. It wasn't much of an improvement, but I think it will heal. I started to slightly squish the eyeball to make room for my fingers and the eyeball. The knife slid out as my free pulled back.
The pain was worse now, and I was sobbing and whimpering for the second time today. Anyone who was experiencing the same things probably would to. But I'm just a 5 year old.
My eyelids were now twitching like mad. It must be the nerves or something, how annoying. It's hard to keep one 'eye' closed without the other squinting.
I held my free hand to my eyelids, trying to stop my eye from twitching.
"How annoying." Then, I felt my hand slightly heat up, and I started to feel a wild, burning sensation on my eye.
"A-Ah-!" I bit my lip to help stop my sudden screaming as I pulled my hand back. It was now covered in peeled skin and blood, behind it was a small orange that soon faded. I reached my hand slowly to my now burnt eye, lightly putting my index finger on it. I was whimpering, but I didn't really feel much. It was closed.
I brought my hand down and looked to the eyeball in my hand. It was now squished as I had unconsciously been squeezing my palm. I opened my fingers and looked around the room to look for some sort of cloth to wrap it in. I found a towel on the counter and grabbed it. I put my hand on top and wiped most of it off.
I think this experience nearly traumatized me. It was and is painful, and my heart is beating so very fast and my eyes are open as my lips are parted, nearly gasping for air. I heard the door open as recognizable footsteps entered the room. I jerked my head towards the door to see Kaname standing there with a surprised expression on his face. I mean, who wouldn't be?
"Ka... Kaname?" I addressed him by his full name.
"Yume, what are you doing?!" He ran over to me and looked at my eyes. "What's wrong with your eye?" Tears started to make their way down my face.
"I... I... My eye... it just suddenly changed and... my vision... it just... so I..." I didn't really know what to say. I didn't expect him here. "Why are you here?" Was he... scared?
"I faintly smelled your blood, and I was looking for you, when I heard your voice in here." I didn't think he would smell the blood. He glanced over at the towel and knife, then at my hand.
"You took it out, didn't you?" I only nodded. He sighed and then spoke. "I'm glad."
I was stunned. "W-What? Why?" He smiled and hugged me.
"When I smelled your blood, I thought something bad had happened. For me to be able to smell just a scratch would be nearly impossible because I am just a child, undeveloped." I was finally starting to understand. "So I thought... that you had done something to yourself..."
With all that was going on, I understood why he would think that. I started to cry into his shoulder. He just held me, rubbing my back and patting my head, consoling me. Everything had been happening so fast, and there was nothing I could do to stop that. I had been losing so many good things in life, but I had found something, happiness. Being able to have Kaname here and comfort me while I vented out all my stress was nice.
I never even noticed the letter.
"S-So much... has happened..." I squeezed his clothing tighter.
"Thank you, Kaname."
I quite like this chapter. Writing the 'taking of the eyeball' part was pretty fun, I think. I know, I'm weird. I'd also like to thank the first two reviews, Nightly Rowen tree. I'm glad you like this, but more importantly...
D. GRAY-MAN'S AWESOME!
Ahem... sorry. Wrong story. Anyways, I hope this was a good chapter. Now you might have an idea that I won't hold back on making it less bloody. That was what I thought was the problem with Vampire Knight. It was WAAAAAY to dramatic. The most epic scene was the Level E in episode three or something. the most blood was when Kaname killed Shizuka. Shizuka is my one of favorite characters, but she didn't give off the feeling of 'insane'. Rido did, which is why he's cool, too. I also don't get why people like Zero so friggin much! He's just so annoying. And very very very very very racist. All those Zero fangrirls who might say something like 'don't kill the black people, white people'! and then like Zero. Zero is way to troubled when his parents died, 'cause he can't just say all vampires are evil UNLESS I know them. He loves Yuuki, right? Idiots. Anyways, sorry about that, it's so annoying. As well as Yuuki. So thank you so much for reading. I hope it was good.
Any criticism, positive or negative, is welcome. Unless it's stupid, blah blah blah, you know what mean!
I do NOT own Vampire Knight, only the words on the page/story and my OCs, Tsukiku Julia, Suzaku, and Yume/the devil Nini.
Oh, and I also wanted to tell you, I have made up a good story about a Shizuka, OC for when this is over. I really, REALLY like the idea of this one, so when it comes out, if you and I remember, please give it a chance. I don't have to look on the internet to know there aren't many stories like that.
And it's all ZeKi's fault :(
