Naomi awoke this morning with new sense of purpose, well... at least a new mission. With Asuna still fast asleep, Naomi began packing for only two days. Of course, this would mean she'd miss school for one day but it no longer mattered to her; all she cared about now was knowing who that boy or man was. Her parents would have answers, they must, for her sake.
Naomi changed out of her pajamas and into day wear. Her loose shirt was replaced with a black crop top and her cotton shorts were swapped with a maroon skirt. She left with the Academy's brown boots, she flinged her bag over her shoulders and silently made her way out the dorms. As soon as, Naomi stepped out of the dorms she turned back. She left her butterfly knife in the drawer.
I could go back for it, Naomi thought, I might need it.Countering thought rised, You're going home. Why would you need it? It's only a walk to the other side of town.
Naomi hesitated, I can't handle a vampire alone and what if the boy comes back to harass me? She headed back into the dorms in a hurry. She wanted to be out of the Academy's grounds before anyone woke up.
Naomi reached into the drawer and grabbed the cool silver metal, and pocketed it.
"Nao..." Asuna called out in a soft voice, "where are you going?"
Naomi smiled, "I'm just going to visit my parents for a while."
Asuna lifted her upper body, "But we have class?"
"It's just one day and tomorrow is a free day." Naomi said.
Asuna raised her eyebrows, "You're leaving for two days? What if you get expelled?"
Maybe, it's for the best.
"I won't get expelled." Naomi swiftly said, "And I need to do this."
She didn't let Asuna reply as Naomi was already out the door.
Once, Naomi was out the dorms the sun was shinning brightly. She wasted too much time.
Naomi huffed, Let's just go before anyone else wakes up.
Unfortunately for her, someone else was awake and as Naomi was halfway through her escape, she was stopped.
"Hey!" A deep voice called out, "Where do you think you're going? Head to class!"
Naomi scoffed and rolled her eyes. She didn't have to turn around to know who it was.
"Leave me alone, Zero!" Naomi continued walking towards the gate.
Zero grabbed her arm roughly, "Ouch, that hurts!"
Naomi tried to yank her arm free from his grip, "Shouldn't you be on a leash?" She used her free arm to push at his chest.
Zero gave her his signature glare; Naomi returned it.
"Let go of me!" She growled.
His grip stayed true and firm through her relentless assault.
Naomi gave one more push and pull before she stopped, "You are ridiculously strong."
Figures, he is a vampire.
Their eyes met, his only few shades lighter than hers but their hair a complete contrast.
"Change and head to class."
Naomi frowned, "As if I'm going to take orders from you." She stepped hard on his foot and kicked him in the knee.
Zero, shocked, let go of her and Naomi ran to make her escape.
"Don't worry, Zero! I'll be back in two days!" She smiled sarcastically, "You'll tell the Headmaster for me, won't you?"
Naomi could feel his lavender eyes piercing her back as she opened the gate and left.
There was no chance in hell that I was going to let him ruin this for me. However, Naomi (for precaution), ran until she made it safely into town.
Naomi straighten her skirt, And who does he think he is? Man handling me like that, tactless.
She bypassed Tanaka's coffee shop with easy, He's probably attending to some early birds. She continued to walk through town with ease as most of residents were at work and kids her age were at school, I'll bother him later.
Naomi breathed in and her bag fall to her side, Who do i bring it up? 'Hey, mom, dad! I have a stalker! Do you happen to know if there was a creepy man following me when I was a kid?' She ran her hand through her black hair, 'Ooh, and by the way vampires are real!' Naomi then frowned, Okay, maybe not that far...
As she walked towards her house, Naomi let her mind wander to other things such as: Yagari's an ass and Vampire Hunter. Zero's a vampire with issues, Kaname's a Pureblood who just appears out of nowhere, and Yuki is a love sick puppy. She tapped her chin, Am I missing anything, oh yeah, Aidou has ice powers. Why? Beats me.
Naomi began to stare at her feet and began to not step on the lines of the cobblestone, Do they all have powers? Kaname made the ice disappear and the way they acted around him was strange as if he was king. Must be because he's pureblood, and Yuki did say their rare and dying out.
This brought up memory to for Naomi.
She began to giggle, "Dodo bird," but before she could relish on her joke, she realized she was already infront of her house.
Naomi let out a shaky breath.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Naomi waited in bated breath.
The door knob turned and the door was pulled open.
There she was Naomi's mother, Sayako. Her long black hair cascading down her shoulders and her eyes, a piercing blue. Naomi always thought her mother was gorgeous, she sometimes wondered if they were related. But then, Naomi sees her own lock of hair and finds that it's identical to her mother's. Naomi also loved her mother's smile, it was full warmth and love while hers was awkward: much like her father's, but her father was not without his charms; charms, Naomi did not inherit.
However, instead of a smile on her mother's face it was a frown.
"Hi mom." Naomi smiled brightly.
The frown deepen on her mother's peach pink lips, "Please tell me, you didn't get expelled."
Naomi's eyes widen, "No, I didn't! I was just... um, homesick."
Sayako shot her daughter a sharp look, "So if I call the Headmaster, he'll be fully aware of your absence?"
Naomi smiled sheepishly, "No, he won't."
Sayako sighed, "Well... since you're here." She smiled, "Come in."
Naomi saw her go into the kitchen, "Close the door behind you, will you Nao?"
Naomi nodded and did just as her mom asked.
"I made breakfast, it's still hot.~" Her mom sang.
Naomi ran into the kitchen with hope in her eyes, "Really?"
Sayako hummed, "Have a seat.~"
Naomi got this sparkle in her eyes, a sparkle only her family has ever had the pleasure of seeing. She dropped her luggage in the living room and quickly to her seat in the table.
Sayako set down the plate of fluffy pancakes. Naomi's mouth waters as she let the memory of her parent coming back from trip of America wash over her. Her mother made pancakes everyday since.
Naomi enthusiastically scarfed her breakfast.
Sayako laughed, "Calm down, you gluttton."
Naomi cheeks burned into a light of pink, "Too late."
"Alright, alright..." Sayako, sporting a flawless smile asked, "Now, why are you really here, sweetheart?"
Naomi cocked her head to the side, "I already told you. I was homesick."
Sayako put her hand on her chin, "Naomi, honey, I know you like the back of my hand." She shook her head, "You don't get 'homesick'."
Naomi looked to down at her empty plate and fiddled with the fork, "Mom... how was I when, you know, I was little?"
Sayako raised an eyebrow, but answered: "Well, no offense sweetie, but you were kind of a nightmare." She sighed, "You drank coffee when you were four which I blame Tanaka for, you also learned how to pick locks when you were four from a Nancy Drew book! All because I locked the cookie jar!" She began counting with her fingers, "Oh, and you always ran off on your own. One second, I was holding your hand and the next, you were gone. Just poof!" Her mom rubbed her temples, "I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. Fortunately, you always went to Tanaka's." She let her hands softly fall on the table, "You have no idea how much I worried about you."
When Sayako was finished, Naomi felt a pit in her stomach, Was I really that horrible?
Upon seeing her daughter's guilty face, she quickly interjected: "Don't feel bad, Nao, you were a child."
"Right..." Naomi looked at her, "Did I ever talk to someone with a blue left eye and a red right eye?" She asked nonchalantly.
Naomi saw her mother tense, "Why?"
"Just remembered." She played it off.
Sayako grabbed the empty plate and walked into the kitchen.
Naomi gulped, "So did I?"
"Yes, you did but you weren't exactly nice to him." Sayako confessed, "You kicked him in the shin once."
Okay, okay, we're getting somewhere.
"What was his name?" Naomi asked innocently.
Sayako gently placed the plate into the dishwasher, "He never said."
Is she lying? She wouldn't... would she?
"Well, what did he look like?" Naomi pressed.
Sayako put a hand on her hip, "He was tall, very handsome, but I never liked him either."
How vague.
"Why did you let me talk to him then?" Naomi questioned.
"He was there when you ran off." Sayako said, "It was the only times you'd come to me." She began rubbing her temples again, "I tried to keep you away from him but he kept showing up. Thank God, he stopped when you were four."
Naomi nodded, "When did I start running?"
"When you were three."
Naomi's blood ran cold, "He did this for a year?"
And now he's doing it again! Why!?
Sayako gave her daughter a worried look, "Is he back? You can tell me. God, I knew I should've called the police!" She began to ramble.
Why didn't you? Naomi thought, Maybe it was better that she didn't... what could've the police have done against a vampire?
Naomi smiled and swiftly lied, "No mom, he's not back. I just remebered and was curious."
Her mother sighed in relief, "I was so worried whenever saw him. I felt like that man was going to take you away from me."
He probably was and he was probably going to kill me or feed off me or whatever it is vampires do.
Naomi never felt so violated in her life.
