Fangs

Chapter 4

Ayame's POV

 

  I sat on Kimi's bed and stroked the sheet. It has been two years since the incident with Rido and yet we still haven't found them. Kaname has let it go, for now. I know he can't forget her, he loves her with all his heart and he has done anything he could think of that was possible to find her but we had no luck. It was the last time I would be in this house for years, Kaname's friend, Kaien Cross has been discussing with him for a while now and they decided to create a night class for the children of the vampires who want to make peace with the humans. For now, we will be using the teachers old dorm until they build one for us. I sighed. "I've had so many memories..." I felt a lump form in my throat, it was tough to let go of a place you were so familiar with, it was technically my second home.

"We both have," Kaname's voice startled me. "It's time to go, Aya."

I waited for a few moments and finally stood up, nodding. I looked over at Kaname who looked back with kind eyes but I knew deep down, his emotions were sad. I forced a smile and walked over to his side. As we walked out of the bedroom and down the hallway I asked Kaname "I wonder what our new lives will be like."

Kaname shrugged. "I don't know, Aya. But we need to make the most of it. Rido isn't done yet and I know for a fact he will be coming back..." He paused. "And I don't want him to take anyone else away. Not you, not Yuki and not anyone else we befriend at the academy."

We arrived at the school, it seemed empty. We were told to be quiet as the day class were still doing lessons. When we arrived there were other vampires on the school grounds, most were aristocrats but some were level c. I wandered off, away from Kaname's side to see what kind of people I was going to be living with from now on. No one really stood out to me but then, I saw him. The person I thought I had forgotten about over the last two dramatic years. Hanabusa.

    Hanabusa was standing with his two cousins, Ruka and Akatski, they were just chatting. I wanted to run away, I didn't want him to see me. I was angry at him for ignoring me ever since that night. Before I could do what my instinct told me to, he spotted me. We made eye contact and I could see he stopped talking to his cousins. They were clearly confused and followed his gaze, eyes all landing on me. Hanabusa and I both had blank expressions, neither of us knew what to say. Just then I felt a hand rest gently on my shoulder, I turned my head to see Kaname. "Ah, Hanabusa, Ruka, Akatski. It is a pleasure to see you all again." Even so, they still stared.

"L-lord Kaname..." Ruka quickly bowed at his presence. She looked at me, I could sense a slight hatred in her eyes. "Lady Ayame."

Akatski bowed and put his hand on Hanabusa's shoulder. "I think I'm going to mingle with the other vampires, are you coming Ruka?" He looked at her hopefully.

She shook her head, still looking in awe at Kaname. "Go, I'll stay with Hanabusa..."

Akatski shrugged and walked away. Hanabusa finally spoke up. "A-Ayame..." He breathed my name. My emotions were all over the place, sadness, anger, excitement, I couldn't tell what my true feelings were.

"Hello, Hanabusa..." I looked at the ground when I said his name. I couldn't bare it, the sight of him. I loved him, even now I still do. We were older now, he still has those beautiful icy blue eyes and soft blonde hair. Yet, I still remained angry. I didn't want to be angry at him, I wanted to run up to him and hug him tightly and tell him I missed him. My body wouldn't let me do it, though. Instead I turned to Kaname. "May we go elsewhere, please Kaname?" I glanced quickly at Hanabusa who had a hurt expression. I assumed it seemed I didn't want to be around and it was slightly true but at the same time it wasn't.

Kaname nodded. "Of course,"

He walked off and I followed him closely behind. I quickly glanced back once again, instead of shocked, Hanabusa looked hurt and sad. Guilt was also seen in his sad eyes and I felt bad for making him feel that way. I wanted to turn back and apologise but someone had grasped my hand firmly and was pulling me the opposite direction and like the last time I saw him, a crowd of people had blocked my sight and I could no longer see him. I became angry and turned to the person dragging me, it was Kaname. "Kaname, let go of me!" I snapped, tugging my arm. Yet, he was too strong, he's always been stronger than me.

Kaname shook his head. "I know why you were like that, Aya. Why you wanted to get away from Aido. You were hurt and I don't want to see you hurt."

I stopped struggling at these caring words. I knew Kaname cared for me, almost as much as his sisters. Almost as much as Kimi. "Kaname, I want to-" Kaname stopped and held both of my hands, staring deeply into my eyes.

"No, I won't let you suffer heartache. I can't see anyone else that is dear to me suffer."

I looked at him sadly. He truly cared and from all that has happened to him, I wouldn't let him be sad anymore so I simply obeyed. "Okay..."

Kaname smiled and nodded. "It's time to go to our dorm now, Aya."

I looked behind me to see the crowd of un-uniformed students moving along to the left, leaving the day class and us behind. I dragged Kaname towards the crowd of new students that were disappearing around the corner. "C'mon! We need to catch up!"

I could sense him stumbling behind me which I almost laughed at.
