I run into the school building and bump in to Sky. I fall down from the sudden impact while she stands. I hit my head face first on the ground and my nose starts to bleed.
"Oh, crap Yume. I am so sorry," Sky says as she helps me up.
I wipe the blood away. "Sorry sis, can't talk. I'm in a rush," I say as I leave her. I run up some stairs and I rush into his office. "Kaien!" I scream. I bend over to catch my breath when I notice Kaname standing in front of his desk.
"Yume, what's wrong?" Cross asks.
I straighten up and look at Kaname. "What are you doing here?" I ask Kaname.
"I told you I was coming up here. I thought I told you to-"
"I know, but I can't find them," I say.
"Find who? What's going on?" Cross asks.
Kaname sighs and says, "That is what I was coming to talk to you about. Not so much as the "who" though."
"Kaname, shut the hell up and help me find them!" I shout.
"Find who?" Cross asks again.
"Yuki and Zero!" I scream.
Cross gets quiet. I glare at Kaname, and he glares right back at me. "Kaien, this guy tried to kill me. Yuki and Zero tried to stop him so I took Yori and we left and now I don't know what happened to them," I say.
Kaien rises from his chair and walks over to me. He puts his hand on my shoulder and smiles. "You don't need to worry about them. They will be fine."
I look at him. I can't help but feel as though he knows something that I don't. I let it go, though, since there is no real point in trying to figure anything out because this guy is a complete psycho and for all I know he is high or something.
"But what did the guy want with me?" I ask.
Cross looks at me. "What was his name?"
"Edmond Van Ioh, and he is NOT related to me," I say making it very clear that I don't know the guy. "He said he was from the senate, but what would they want with me?" Cross doesn't say anything. Neither does Kaname. "Hello?"
"Listen to me Yume, do not ever leave without someone with you. Like I said earlier, you are a target to a lot of people. I need you safe and I don't want you to get hurt. Now go to class and tell your teacher I had you run me a few errands. Oh, and from now on you will be on the Disciplinary Committee with Yuki and Zero," Cross says.
"But what about Yuki and Zero?" I ask.
"I will look for them," Kaname says. "Get to class and stay there until someone comes to get you."
I sigh and realize that I won't get anywhere if I argue with them, so I go back to class and inform my teacher that we were running errands. I sit down and barely pay attention the rest of the day. The three o' clock bell rings and everyone gets up and leaves, except for me. The teacher finally leaves, and now I am all alone waiting for someone to come and get me. I'm starting to wonder if anyone is coming at all.
All of a sudden the door opens and Toga walks in. "They sent me to come and get you, Yume," Toga says.
I stand up and smile. "Finally! I've got tons of homework that I have no idea how to do." I walk over to Toga and feel uneasy. My smile fades away as I realize he hates me as much as Zero hates vampires. "You don't like me either, do you?"
Toga laughs. "I am a vampire hunter. Of course I don't like you," he says.
"Wait, you're a vampire hunter?" I ask.
Toga stares blankly at me. "You didn't know that?" he asks.
"Nope!" I say with a smile and open the door. I walk out with Toga at my heels. "So, you know Shizuka?" I ask him.
"Any hunter knows who she is. I'm surprised to see that you are brave enough to speak of her," he says in a jerkish tone.
"Hmph. I am not some baby. I am not afraid of anything."
All of a sudden I feel a gun to the back of my head. "Are you sure?" he asks.
I shrug my shoulders. "We already went through this once, but if you wish to go through it again we can," I say.
Toga pulls the gun away and I turn around to face him. "What about blood? Does that scare you?" he asks me.
I shiver. The mere thought of blood makes me sick. "Yes, that I am afraid of."
Toga shakes his head. "What kind of vampire are you?" he asks, mainly to himself but I decide to answer.
"You ask what kind of vampire I am? I'll tell you! I am… a new kind of vampire… that has yet to have a name," I say stupidly.
"No, you are a human and not a vampire," Kaname says behind me. I turn around to find Kaname, Yuki, and Zero standing there.
"Yuki, Zero! And Kaname… Where have you guys been?" I ask.
Kaname shakes his head and looks at Toga. "We will take her from here."
"Alright. Zero, how are you feeling since I last saw you," Toga says to Zero.
"Fine," Zero replies.
No one says anything and I get the feeling that Toga and Zero know each other. "Zero… do you and Toga know each other?" I ask.
Zero nods his head. "He is my master."
I cock my head in confusion. "Ma-ster?"
"Zero comes from a line of vampire hunters," Toga says.
I am completely shocked. If Zero comes from a line of vampire hunters, and his family was killed by vampires, there is no question as to why he hates vampires. And especially purebloods. And I am both of those…
"You didn't know that, Yume?" Zero asks.
I look at him and shake my head and I decide to stay away from him while Toga is around us because I am sure he would kill us both. I wonder if he knows that Zero is a vampire?
"I better be getting ready for class," Toga says as he walks back to the classroom.
"What do ya mean?" I ask as he leaves. He ignores me and I stare daggers after him.
"He teaches both day and night classes, Rose," Zero says.
I sigh and we walk down the hall to the dorms. Then, out of nowhere, I remember that Kaname said I was human. Gah, what the hell is wrong with him? But before we get out of the school building, we run into Hanabusa, Akatsuki, Ichijo, Rima, Ruka, Shiki, and Sky. I freeze. So do the others. In fact, everyone freezes.
"Rose," Hanabusa says in a scary manner, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, um, I'm just walking around…" I say slowly. He glares at me like I glare at Kaname, which means there is no 'us' in the future anymore.
"You are all early," Kaname says.
"We thought we would get here early for once instead of late," Ichijo says. "Besides, it is such a beautiful night that we just couldn't stay in."
I look away from Hanabusa and start to walk past them while everyone else stands still. "I'll see you guys later. I'm going to bed."
"Rose, wait up," Yuki yells after me. I look back and keep walking, but I wish I never looked back. Hanabusa is glaring at me with that killer vampire look I hate so much. His eyes are the color of blood and his fangs are out, and it proves that he would kill me if they weren't all around.
Kaname stays behind to go to class and the three of us walk out to do our job, well my new job. We search the whole area to make sure that no day class girls are out trying to see the night class. A cold wind blows and I shiver. I look up at the moon and realize that it is just barely a full moon, but it will be tomorrow. Now I can't sleep all day, but I shouldn't stay up too long either.
"Rose, are you alright?" Zero asks me.
I snap to and look at him. "I was just thinking," I say. I notice Yuki is walking off and leaving the two of us alone, so maybe we can talk about some things.
"What were you thinking about?" he asks me.
"The moon and how it will be full tomorrow."
Zero looks at me then to the moon. "Yeah, I guess it will be. Are you worried about how you'll react?"
I shake my head. "I sleep all day and night when there is a full moon, but I'm afraid of how the others are going to react. Mainly Hanabusa. I don't know if you noticed earlier or not, but he already bared his fangs at me. He isn't going to be able to hold back under a full moon."
I sit down on the ground and cross my legs. Zero joins me and sits on my left side and pulls his gun out. "If he tries anything, I will kill him. But the same goes for you." I look at him, but not in shock. More like a sympathy look than anything. "I don't care if we are dating, you are still a vampire and you can turn any moment."
"The same for you, Zero." He gives me a shocked look, but I smile and put my right hand to his face. "A human who has been bitten by a pureblood can lust for blood on a full moon just like a regular vampire. So," I say as I take his gun from his hand and lay it in my lap, "If you try anything, I will shoot you."
We don't say anything for a minute. He just stares at me. Then I feel his hand grab my left hand and I watch as his left hand grabs my right hand that is still on his face. He pulls it down and holds my hands in his. It's kinda awkward since we are fake dating, but it's also soothing and sweet.
"Hey, no sitting on the job!" Yuki shouts. I turn away from Zero and he pulls his hand away from mine. We both blush. Yuki walks over to us and smiles. "Listen, I don't care if you two are dating, no slacking! This campus is too big for only me to cover."
"Sorry, Yuki," I say. I get up and so does Zero and we all go off on our own and check the grounds. Although, I have no idea why they let me go off on my own.
That thought slips away as I hear a rustle in the bushes just ahead of me. I clutch my hand and notice I still have Zero's gun. It might be a good thing, too. I slowly walk over and peer through the bush and see the shadow of a person on the ground walking away. As a Guardian, it is my duty to make sure that all day class students and night class students are where they should be. I follow the shadow to the lake and approach the person while they are facing the lake.
"I knew you'd follow me, Rose," the person says. I freeze. That voice was Hanabusa's, which means it is Hanabusa that I followed here by myself. I clench the gun tighter and get it ready to shoot if I must. Hanabusa turns around, his eyes are still red.
"What do you want, Hanabusa?" I ask.
Hanabusa smiles. "You know, I heard from one of the day class girls that you were with Zero now. Is that correct?" he asks mercilessly.
"Yeah, so what if I am? It's not like I've got you anymore," I say angrily.
"Why him? He hates vampires, especially purebloods. And you are both. So why is he with you?"
Do I tell him that it's just fake so he could get Yuki, and maybe I get Hana? "We have our reasons," I say.
Hanabusa draws his hand to his lips and smiles. "Is it because you miss me and you want to make me jealous?" My eyes open wide. What do I say? My heart starts to pound and my breathing gets heavy. "Are you scared?" he asks teasingly.
"Y-yes," I barely voice.
Hanabusa laughs coldly. He stares at me, and I…I don't know what to do. All of a sudden I feel my legs become stiff like ice. I look down and see that Hanabusa froze my legs to the ground. I look up and notice he is getting closer so I pull the gun up, but I can't move my arms. I glance down and they are now, too, frozen in the ice.
"It seems as though you are a little… stuck," Hanabusa says. He chuckles lowly and continues to approach me.
"Hanabusa, stop this! It isn't funny," I cry. My eyes fill with tears, but I refuse to let them fall. "I'm not the one who ended our relationship. I'm not the one who forgot that there was one other person in his life that was a pureblood and was important to him. I'm not the one who-"
Hanabusa puts his finger on my lips. I hadn't realized he was that close. He smiles in my face, then bares his fangs. "You know, there were a few things that we never did when we were together those three years."
"Hanabusa, where are you going with this?" I ask hesitantly.
Hanabusa leans in closer to my face. "You know what is forbidden of the vampire race?" he asks.
"N-no, what?" I ask. I don't know many things when it comes to forbidden stuff.
He looks into my eyes and grins. Everything about him scares me. This is a side of him I have never seen before. "Drinking the blood of a pureblood vampire."
My blood freezes as those words leave his lips. "No, Hanabusa, don't do it," I beg.
Hanabusa kisses me on the lips and then my cheek. My skin crawls and my breath shallows more as his head reaches my neck. He kisses my neck and I flinch.
Hanabusa laughs. "I don't think it will hurt, Rose. Besides, I'll try to make it as enjoyable as our few kisses were."
"Hanabusa, please don't," I beg once more.
I glance down at him and he cuts his bloody eyes at me. "Say my name, Rose, just like you always used to when you wanted something. Say my name, and I'll show some kindness."
"Hana… Hana… Hanabusa…" A tear falls down my cheek as I feel his fangs against my skin.
I'm starting to get the story where I want it. I don't know how the rest of you feel, but I'm loving every moment of this story. Thanks for reading. Even though I say that a lot, I really mean it. Writing is my favorite thing to do, other than listen to music and stuff like that, so it really means the world to me when people like you read and comment on my story. THANKS!
