I felt the car stop. Kaname and Takuma had gotten out when the chauffeur opened the car door. Once Kaname was out, he gave me hand on my way outside. We were walking along the stone pathway to the dull mansion, when I tasted that awful, strong taste of metal. I tried ignoring it, but it never went away. I searched my mouth with my tongue while the doors were opening, and the servants were welcoming us back home.
I couldn't feel any liquids or food-like textures. So what was giving me this awful nauseous feeling?
"Welcome back Kaname-sama, Hime-sama, Takuma-kun. How was your trip?" Ichiou was making his way down the stairs in the entrance with that damn sly face, as always.
Kaname spoke in a calm, yet irritated voice, "It was fine, Ichiou." He spat out Ichiou's name like I wanted to do with whatever this was in my mouth. Ichiou turned his gaze over to me with an expecting look, meeting my eyes.
"Mm." I didn't want to open my mouth, so I looked away and grumbled, backing up slightly behind Kaname.
"Hime-sama, you should use your manners when speaking to elders." He held a cold gaze with the side of my head and a stern, somewhat angry voice.
I just gave him the same reply as before. "Mm." Kaname chuckled and started to walk past Ichiou, who had a stunned expression. Ichiou was following us with his gave until we could no longer be seen in the hallway. I tugged on Kaname's sleeve. He looked down curiously with a hint of worry. He understood, though, that I wanted him to follow me.
I began my tiny journey to the giant bathroom awaiting me at the end of the hallway.
I was in the bathroom with Kaname, finally. I spoke up. "Kaname, can you look in my mouth? See if there's anything unusual?" He was hesitant, but he nodded and I opened my mouth. It felt weird to have someone examine me, especially somwhere that makes my jaw hurt.
"There's blood. Coming out from eight of your teeth." What? "So this is why you weren't talking to Ichiou. But why can't I smell it?" I closed my mouth once he looked away, deep in thought.
I offered an idea. "Maybe that's just something the doctor never found out. Its a rule to never draw a pureblood's blood. Its taboo, right?" He nodded.
"It makes sense, but doesn't solve the other problem. Why are you bleeding?" I looked down in thought, as well. I snapped my fingers! Figuratively. "My fangs are growing! Which means that I'm close to eating... flesh..." My excitement went as fast as it came. His thoughtful look turned sad.
A silence was present in the bathroom. This might not be good. I suddenly let out a yelp. He looked up worriedly. "My teeth are coming out! It hurts!" I opened my mouth immediately, trying to ignore the pain that came from my jaw. I felt around my teeth with my fingers and tongue, leaning down and spitting out the three teeth that had already come out, and trying to get the other five that are still trying to get out.
Kaname was holding me and trying to make me feel better, though it did help emotionally, it didn't stop any pain. "I am sorry, I can't lessen the pain, Yume." He tried to say my name in a sincere and soothing way, which was nice.
I had gotten four more out after a few minutes, but it just hurt more. It felt like the bottom half of my face was burning while my nerves were extra sensitive. Knives seemed to be trying to push out my teeth through my gums. When I finally got my last two teeth out, I spit them onto the small pile of white and red, which looked more like deformed bones of rats than my own teeth. My hands were covered with my own blood and the taste of metal wasn't leaving my mouth, but getting stronger and stronger.
This won't be too good for the maids. I think Ichiou is going to start wondering what I'm doing after seeing this and the blood from my eyeball. I put a few more fingers back into my mouth. Instead of finding odd empty spots in my mouth, I had eight new fangs. a bit bigger than I thought they would be. I got up and looked in the mirror.
I called Kaname. "Kaname, come look! My fangs grew in!" I opened my mouth and walked over to him. He looked carefully into my mouth, looking a little surprised.
"Wow." He exclaimed silently.
"What? What?!" I closed my mouth and looked up worriedly at him. Hopefully it was nothing bad.
"Your fangs are a bit bigger than a vampire your age. If you drank blood, you're fangs are about the size of and adults experienced fangs." I looked down.
"How odd."
After that, we both went back to his room. We mostly just sat on the bed like we were sleeping, only none of our eyes were closed and we weren't under the covers.
A knock was heard from the door. "Kaname, are you alright?" I could hear Takuma calling out, sounding worried.
Kaname got up while I stayed on the bed, watching from a distance. He opened the door, and I saw Takuma worriedly looking around. When his eyes landed on me, he smiled. "Hello Yume. So what did you think about the trip?" Kaname opened the door all the way, letting Takuma inside with a blank mask.
"Oh, it was... entertaining." I looked around nervously. I had made sure, when I spoke, that I didn't open my mouth too much, so he didn't see the fangs.
Kaname spoke up. "Would you tell the maids to clean up the bathroom down the hall?" Takuma looked over at Kaname and nodded nervously.
"I'm glad you're alright, then. Bye." With that, Takuma left.
Well, it's done! This chapter actually COMPLETELY changed from the original. Something else was changing, but I decided to get rid of it. Explanation in chapter 9! Which, not to worry, is being uploaded right after this change.
Hope this one was good. I am making quite the changes to the story. Also, I put a bit about myself on my profile, if that actually interests you. As well as a poll. I know, I know, 'Akumu isn't over yet!' Not very close, either. But it gives me motivation to finish this one quickly and an idea for the next story. I am planning to, after the next one or two chapters, go to cross academy! Yay! Finally, its about damn time! I know I'm taking a lot of time here, but I write short chapters. I'm sorry. I'm also sorry that I don't update often. BUT! I am starting to like Fanfiction again. Wait, no, thats wrong. I mean, I started writing Fanfiction and really liked it at the start, got a little bored of it, and now I'm back into it. Boring is an overstatement, but its the best I've got.
Anyways, Ja ne!
Negative and positive criticism is welcome.
I do NOT own Vampire Knight, but the summary of fanfiction and my OCs, the Tsukikus and Yume/Nini. I mean, it is FANfiction.
