Chapter 4

"Day class girls are scary"

AU: This chapter has now been edited and rewritten somewhat. Only some minor changes but there has been some added dialogue (not much).


Shishou!

I got up, leaving Kaito on the ground.

"I go to speak with Cross for one second and now there's a dead vampire and you two are wrestling on the ground. Is this how you greet your fellow hunters?" I went a little stiff at his words.

"I came over to check out the vampire aura I felt when Kaito put a dagger to my throat. I reacted and it ended with the fight you saw."

"Whatever. Kaito, get off the ground, you don't know what's been there."

"The chairman said you were going to be teaching here." I stated.

"Yeah, he wanted us to look out for you, and apparently one of the day class teachers conveniently quit and he couldn't find another replacement. What an idiot." Kaito finally spoke up. I also got my first chance to see him properly since I was preoccupied in our fight.

He'd grown taller and had a more athletic build than I remember, he's not the lanky teen he used to be when we were both training under Yagari. His hair and eyes were the same and his expression was smug. He ruffled my hair, which pissed me off, and said "It's been a while Z." I slapped his hand away and glared. "Awe, don't be like that, we haven't seen each other since we were kids."

"Don't be an ass" I replied. "Anyway, I'm going back to my dorm."

"I better see you in class tonight." Shishou would kick my ass if I wasn't, so naturally I was gonna go, no matter how much I hated it.

Instead of going back to my dorm like I said, I went back to the stables to do what I came out here to do, clean my horse.

As I entered the stables the horses were already calmer than earlier and Lily was poking her head out of her stall, waiting for me.

I could see that her normally pristine white coat was a little closer to brown.

It rained recently. She must have rolled in the mud.

I put a lead on her and led her to a grassy area. I picked up the hose that connects to the tool shed and pulled it over to her. I started with minimal pressure and washed all the mud out. Pretty soon she didn't have a spec of mud on her. She did, however, manage to get me a little wet too, and by little, I mean a lot. I was sopping.

I made my way back to the moon dorms to change when I realised that it was almost time for class change over. I needed to get back soon so I have time to get ready.

As I neared the gates, I started to hear a commotion. The day class was already waiting outside the dorms. I look at my watch, there's still 20 minutes till the night class comes out, these fangirls are so weird. Why wait when you could be doing more important things?

Now, how will I get in with all these fangirls in the way. I wonder if Cross has told them that I've transferred yet? This'll be interesting.

I figured that the quickest way in was to just walk right through them. Maybe yell a bit so they leave, however, it didn't quite go down as planned. First, I step out from where I was and a few girls turned to see who's come. Weird thing is, there is no fear in their faces. I hear whispering and see shocked faces. I wasn't sure if I understood what was happening here...

"Kiryuu-kun? Isn't he in the night class now? Why is he out here?"

"I dunno, but why is he wet?"

"He looks kind of hot like that, don't you think?"

"I agree, he totally fits in with the night class."

"He's always so scary but he's quite attractive, huh."

The next thing I know is that they are yelling things at me. Things I never expected to hear.

Things like...

"Kiryuu-kun! Take your shirt off!"

"Squeee! His shirt is sticking to him!"

"Do something hot!"

Huh?! What are they even saying?!

I never once imagined something like this happening. I was so uncomfortable in this situation so I did what I do best, I yelled at them.

"No! I will not take my shirt off! Just go back to your dorms! If I see anyone here during class changeover then you ALL get detention! Understood?!"

It was quiet for just a second before the murmurs continued, this time quieter, as if I couldn't hear them.

"I always knew he should be in the night class."

"too bad his personality sucks."

"I think I could get over that in time…"

My eye was twitching. Clearly, they didn't take me seriously just now. "Did you not hear what I said?! Leave!" my voice boomed over the crowd, causing some to flinch. It did the trick though. They began moving back towards their dorms. It was slow, but I was just glad to be able to get clean. After I had gone inside, changed and exited the dorm gates with the other night students, we found the entire space clear of fangirls. Yuki was standing off to the side looking quite confused.

Cute, she's pouting.

Aidou was looking pretty pissed that his fans weren't waiting for him and looked towards me accusingly. "This is your doing, isn't it?!"

"I don't know what you're talking about" I said with a shrug.

"Of course you don't! Why would you? It's not like you're the only reason the day class ever leaves before they see me!"

He got closer to me, leaning up to get into my face, a sarcastic tone to his voice.

"Aidou-senpai, maybe you should calm down..." Oh Yuki, always trying to put out a fight. "After all, he said he didn't do it."

"That's right Yuki. Aidou, leave him be, I'm sure there's another completely logical reason as to why your fans aren't here tonight." Kuran just loves to support Yuki, even though I bet he knows I did it. Knowing him, he probably heard me earlier.

Aidou looked miserable, no fans and a telling off by Kuran? Ouch, that probably hurts. He also probably deserves it, it is Aidou after all.

"Yeah Aidou-senpai, you shouldn't assume someone did something without all the facts."

In my opinion, I probably shouldn't have said that, but I can be a little impulsive at times.

"What did you say?" He said it slowly and quite menacingly as he encased my leg in ice.

"You heard me, don't go around assuming things."

As I reached my hand into my jacket for my gun, Kuran beat me too it. He grabbed my wrist, stopping me, and gave me a stern look. I glared back, pulling back on my arm.

He let go only to order Aidou to unfreeze me.

"But...!"

Before he could finish what he was saying, there was a loud cracking noise, like something you'd hear from a whip. The ice evaporated from around my leg. I could move again.

"No more fighting from either of you, and Kiryuu, stop stirring him up. Now, let's head to class."

Aidou stood still for a bit, looking at the ground with an angry red handprint on his face.

Well, class is gonna be fun tonight, isn't it?
