Vampire's Assistant

Ten

It was now the break. There was very few students here, and even Kaname and the vampires have left. I didn't have anywhere to go. I was going to go with Kaname too, but they were going to the Aido family vacation home. I hadn't spoken to Hanabusa since that night. I didn't know what to say. It all felt so... odd.

I figured it would be best to talk with Zero. I wanted to check on him, make sure that he was still okay. His heart was racing. I gave him some blood to tie himself down again. He was going far quicker this time. Falling hard into insanity. Suddenly, he walked out. I followed him.

"Quick Yuki, go get a rope. We'll drag him back if we have to." Zero said, just as I got there.

"Who's there?"

"Hanabusa." Yuki spoke up.

"Hey! Is that Erika?! Yami, hey! I wanted to talk with you! You ran away after I talked to Lord Kaname! I wanted to ask you something important!"

"I don't want to talk about it yet."

"Okay, well, would you at least help me figure out what Lord Kaname is planning?"

"I hate to say this, Nabu, but I already know. I think you should stay of of Kaname's way..."

"Are you helping Lord Kaname, Yami?"

I looked down. "I am. Kaname and I have known each other a really long time, Hanabusa."

"How long?"

I looked around, then looked at Zero and Yuki. "Longer than you'd think. I can't say much here, especially not at the Sun Dormitories. If you really want to know Kaname's plans, I could tell you, but you're not going to like it, and you're going to be confused. I can tell you all about myself, but Kaname and other people, that's not really anything I can speak about."

"Than let's talk. We haven't talked since that night..."

"That's because I'm scared. Things would have been so different... Hanabusa, did I ever tell you I was suppose to be married before?"

He looked terrified. "You were?"

"Yes. I was engaged, but I suppose that's my curse. I'm sure Kaname would have no problem sacrificing me for himself if need be, since I can't truly die. He can always just bring me back again if he wanted to."

"Don't say things like that, Yami."

"Hey, I already talked to Kaname about it too. I'm okay waiting a couple dozen years or so. It's not like things haven't happened before, right?"

Hanabusa sighed. "Could we talk?"

"We can talk in my room. Might as well, while you're here."

Hanabusa walked into my room, but was careful not to touch anything. I sat down at my desk to continue the work I was doing. "So... how were you engaged to?"

"Another pureblood vampire. Another one of the originals. It was a forced marriage."

"And what about Kaname? What's his endgame? I'm so confused."

"What else, other than to marry Yuki?"

"But why marry Yuki? What's so special about her?"

"A lot."

"Can you tell me?"

I sighed. "I wish I could. It would be so much easier to, but I made a blood pact with Kaname to not say anything to anyone."

"So, there's nothing you can tell me?"

I shrugged. "Any questions about me you have, I can answer, but very few about Kaname and Yuki. All I can say is Kaname and Yuki were made for each other. Kaname and Yuki love each other a lot and Kaname waited a very long time to even be able to meet Yuki, so I don't want to ruin it for him."
