I stood there for a moment longer before returning to class and slipping into my seat, acting as if nothing had just happened, but looking around during a break in class I could see that Kaname had disappeared. I heard from one girl that Kaname had gone to meet with that human girl. 'Odd, but not unheard of.' I thought before slipping the card out of my journal and looking it over once more. 'There are many who oppose us, and one of those that do is far greater than what you think she can handle.' His words replaying in my head. 'Who could he be thinking of? The only true threat she could go against would be one of us…I don't foresee the Hunters being the issue.' I sighed softly before listening back to our teacher for the last class before going back to the dorm.
Once back to the dorms, that's where news hit everyone. Kaname had taken Yuki Cross as his lover. I expected that news to hurt, but I was pain-free. Some of the aristocratic girls showered me with their sympathies that Kaname was missing out and how could he choose a human over another pureblood. I shouldn't have enjoyed the gossip, I really shouldn't have, but I couldn't help it especially when I knew it wouldn't hurt him in the least. He had no emotions like that towards me and maybe I once did, but those emotions died fairly quickly upon seeing him again.
I spent the next days listening to Aido, Kain, and Rima, though it was mostly Aido complaining about being her personal guards of sorts. If only he knew the truth of the matter, but I'm not allowed to spill that tea to anyone else. I assume that one more time would mean for Kaname to attempt to rid Cross Academy of my presence or even my bloodline. He does have a rather bad temper.
Besides the gossip, it was rather quiet and calm in the dorms, well except that Takuma hadn't been back since break had ended. I was rather worried about him and Kaname was of no help when Takuma was to return. That is until one night when I was sitting in my room reading through one of my favorite books, casually sipping on the bland excuse for blood we had to drink while here. The tablets were never a favorite of mine, but if I wasn't able to have blood then it was an okay substitute. Just as I had reached a good part of the story, there was a presence that made me freeze. It was powerful, but ancient, but also reminded me of Kaname's presence. Carefully, I set the book down and finished my glass. I silently walked over to my door and cracked it open. I took a glance out to see if I could see where the presence was coming from, but from my angle, the hall was empty which meant they were downstairs. 'I could stay here and not go looking…but what if something happens?' I may not be like other purebloods, but I could also sense a very familiar presence. Takuma.
