Her Vampire Knight, His Vampire Princess

Epilogue Short Story Part 1/3

"Sigh finally my last month at Cross Academy. Okay so maybe I am a little sad. I'm happy because I'll see Zero more considering he graduated a year before me. I'm sad because I might never see the good friends I made once I go to college." I sigh again and stretch my arms up. I jump off the balcony on the third floor of my dorm. I land on the ground safely as always.

 "Well, you're up early, Alondra." I hear the familiar voice of Ichiru. I straighten myself out, and smile at him. Yes, Ichiru is still with me. He entered school the same time I was a sophomore even though he's a year older than me. So now we're both seniors and ready to end the school year.

 "I'm not up early. I just didn't sleep at all this morning." I say as I yawn. Ichiru frowns at me. There he goes again always worrying about my health. He doesn't have to worry about that. He knows it, but he insists on it.

 "Oh, don't look at me that way. I'm okay. Really." I say to him as I hold my hands up. He sighs and shakes his head.

"You know you should take better care of yourself." He says to me as we begin walking to class.

 "You know that I only stayed up because this was the day I got to see Zero." I tell him with a blush I try to hide. He chuckles at that, and I lightly punch him in the arm.

 We continue to walk and then while Ichiru was telling me something he all of a sudden stops and looks forward in shock. I look at him for a second and then I look at the direction he was looking at.

Now it's my turn to look shocked. I see my mom waving at me. I see my dad begrudgingly dragging his feet behind her. He only gets like that when he and Zero have had a little chat about something A.K.A me. I see my sister too just rolling her eyes at my dad.

They finally make it to the frozen and shocked bodies of Ichiru and me. "Wh-what are you doing here?! I just saw you guy a month ago! So help me God if you say I'm leav-." My mom puts her hand to my mouth to shut me up. I glare at her, but she glares back and I back down. Then all of a sudden she puts on a scary nice smile. I cringe in fear.

 "Well, your handsome boyfriend called us over. He had something of great urgency to tell us." She says so nonchalant. I cringe at the word "boyfriend" because the time I told my dad that Zero and I are together he gave us the scolding well, yelling of a lifetime. I think we were both left permanently scarred by that. My mom accepted him only because he saved my life from the Nishio's and Kaname a long time ago.

 "Zero called you over? Why would he do that?" I say as I finally calm down and assess the situation. They all shrug well except my dad. So, I'm guessing he knows something and he doesn't plan on telling me.

 "Fine then. Here's the key to the dorm. Ichiru and I are headed off to class." I say to them as I hand my mom the key. My dad mumbles something about "it should have been him" or something. He always did prefer Ichiru to Zero only because he considers Zero a bad boy for having piercings and a tattoo. I have to roll my eyes at him now.

 "Alondra, that look on your face tells me we're not going to class." He says suspiciously.

 "Whatever gave you that idea?" I say with an innocent grin. Although Ichiru wasn't far off. I needed to go see Zero to have some sort of explanation as to why he would call my family over a month after just having had seen them. I can't help pondering what it could be. I'm a hopeless, curious child.

 "You know Yagari-sensei still hates it when you pull a stunt like that. I'm surprised you're even graduating." Ichiru tells me once we make it to the class room door. I shrug and then raise my fist once Ichiru opens the door, and as expected Aido makes direct contact. He's a year older than me, but he didn't graduate because of bad grades, but I doubt that. He is a genius after all. He totally stayed behind on purpose.
