[Touch of Evil]

Naomi turned to her left and then right. Go back to Cross Academy or go and spend the night at Veronica's. Veronica wouldn't mind, actually she'd be estatic that her friend would like to spend the night with her.

Naomi shook her head, I should head back.

Naomi turned to her left and headed towards the academy.

Don't trust, Kaname Kuran...She thought, It's not like I even did.

She lifted her head and gazed at the waxing moon.

"Hello, Ms." A boyish voice came from behind her.

Naomi turned to see who it was. Her breath hitched as she quickly took a few steps away from the small silhouette. It didn't matter, Naomi knew who it was... those eyes were irrefutable. Her heart stilled and her blood ran cold.

"W-what do you want?" Naomi stuttered.

The little boy's heterochromatic eyes shined as he sported a white smile, "You ran away last time. You always run away."

Naomi gulped, her voice firmer now, "What do you want?"

The boy frowned, "You don't remember me?" He cocked his head to the side, "I guess you wouldn't recognize me in this form... How unfortunate."

Recognize him? Form?

Naomi with a newfound sense of courage, demanded, "Answer my question."

"You'll know..." The boy's smile widen, she could see his fangs, "in due time, Naomi."

A pit began to grow inside of Naomi, and she had sickening feeling that she didn't want to know what he wanted from her; Yet she also hated not knowing.

He said form, so this is façade... Then what is his true form?

The boy's smiled morphed into something wicked, "Be a good girl and stay still."

Naomi's violet eyes widen, Like hell!

The boy lunged as Naomi side stepped away from his reach, and made a break for the Academy.

I'm running away from a vampire? I'm running away from a vampire! Naomi thought, Am I going to make it? What are the odds that I am? Are there any odds to even pull from?

Naomi felt like little red riding hood, but instead of running away from the big bad wolf, she was running away from a ghoulish vampire. She huffed amd she puffed, and didn't allow her slef a moment of reprieve until she was infront of the Academy's gate. Without wasting a second, Naomi slipped into the grounds and finally took in a deep breath of relief.

"You always were a defiant little girl." The voice spoke right into her ear.

Naomi let out a shriek and scrambled away from the source. She stared wide eyed, there was no one there but the voice sounded familiar to her.

But who was it? Naomi thought, The boy said I'd reconize him... was that his true voice? And his eyes, red and blue... Now that I think about it they do seem familiar.

She began to walk backwards to the dorms, keeping her eyes towards the gates, Who is he? I can't think of anyone who matches. Maybe, when I was younger? I don't remember much when I was little. Maybe I could call my mom and dad... ask them about it. Or I can try Tanaka-

Her thoughts were cut short when she felt a hand gently touch her shoulder.

Naomi, still on edge, jumped away from the touch only to see Kaname's worrying gaze.

Tanaka's voice came creeping into her thoughts, Stay away from the Pureblood.

"Are you-" Kaname started.

"I'm completely fine," Naomi snapped.

Kaname frowned and reached for her, "Naomi-"

She cut him off again, "I'm tired." Naomi gave him a piercing glare, "Leave me alone, and do not call me by my first name."

Don't look back at the gate. Just walk around him and head back to the dorms.

Kaname's eyes held a small token of despair but he said nothing, and let her move past him. His eyes fixated on the gate... He only came because he heard her scream, still he didn't sense anything out of the ordinary.

a/n: it's very easy figure out who he is. if y'all don't know who he is thats on you*
