A/N: I strongly advice that you listen to the song as this chapter's title is also the video music's title. Also, please take the girl on the video as my version of Yumiko. Still, the eyes are olive green. The girl on the video was how I imagined Yumiko since the creation of this fanfic many years ago. This is a new arc regarding on Ryoma's Life as a Noble Vampire and how it strongly affected The Seigaku senpais he had before.
....Fuji Shuusuke stared badly on Yuuta's ashes. His eyes were full of confusion and hatred. His brother was sucked on the world of vampires all because he decided to stay beside Echizen Ryoma, a noble vampire like Aido Hanabusa, Akatsuki Kain, Rima Toya, Senri Shiki, Ruka Souen and Takuma Ichijo.
He now belongs to their world and he can never go back to them anymore.
He doesn't know who will he blame for the fate that his brother had until, that morning, he was called on by Chairman Cross Kaien.
Ryoma is also there, wearing his night clothes, staring at the sky. So, Fuji suddenly blurted out, "Why is a beast here?"
Ryoma was surprised by what Fuji said. He expected it already but what he didn't expect is the pain that he would feel after hearing it coming from an old friend that he surely changed. Three years have already passed down among all of them and they didn't even notice it. Fuji and his senpais are now in 3rd year senior highschool while Ryoma should have been in first year highschool, now but, vampires have a different education system and it is a bit longer than humans as they have longer lives.
"He's just here to let you know the reason why he did what he did before your graduation," he told him.
"I just wonder why we stayed here that long alongside vampires! It caused my brother's death!" he screamed.
"If you ever tell people about us, Fuji-senpai, I assure you that your memories about us will be erased. I did what I did to protect you," he told him.
"I don't believe you! I'm leaving. I promise not to tell anyone but, you do know what happened among us. We protected you against Frances. I do wish you know what I mean. We finished our highschool here while you finish off your junior highschool here. Well, maybe vampires have in some ways, a different education system, than us humans! Lastly, I don't care if you erase them. That is much better for me!" That's what he said and left with a loud thug of Chairman Cross's double door.
Ryoma sighed and almost tried to go after him but that's when Chairman Cross spoke to stop him, "You're no longer human and you don't belong to them any longer but that doesn't mean that you need to get away from the friendship you built for so many years. You have a life you need to keep going even it is full of pain and failures. You can still stand up and be strong once again."
"I have no goal already. No one is trying to kill me off already. I should be happy already but... there is still pain lurking inside me. There's more fear as I don't know my future. I don't know if I can still let it go and start driving my life again. I'm stuck on a long driveway at the center of a bridge where there are nothingness but trees and mountains. How would anyone help me? I tried driving it, but look what happened! I hoped he would understand my decision but... I failed in my first attempt," cried Ryoma.
"You have many strengths, Echizen Ryoma. You just need to know when to use them at the right time," Cross advised.
"I may have my magnetism and gravitation but it's useless against my personal problems...," tears were falling down his eyes badly and so, Cross hugged him to comfort him.
"There is always a restart button on our lives, Echizen Ryoma. You can still put that key on your car's key. It can still move if you just decide to put it back on or if you have lost it, there are still other ways on how you could move it!"
Kaname Kuran didn't even need to enter. He smiled and he knew that Ryoma can still make everything fine. He may have lost a friend but, he should learn that all of that were only trials. He isn't dead yet and more on, they will always stay beside him.
...Unknowingly, Fuji had a long argument among Kikumaru and Inui. "You are vampire hunters, right? Why don't you kill the vampires in the Cross Academy? You don't even looked at them badly! Is that how the Vampire Hunter Council do? They accept the existence of vampires?"
Both were having a heart ache. Fuji Shuusuke changed dramatically. From a generally relaxed and in control personality, he was subdued by his protectiveness at his brother, Yuuta.
Yuuta's death gave a significant change to him and so, Kikumaru knew that if they let Fuji misunderstand what happened, he will self destruct. They can't let Fuji be subdued by that pain and leave him rotting in that hellish place. They know they need to rescue him or he'll be a dangerous enemy against Ryoma.
Fuji Shuusuke and all of the 3rd years have left after the graduation leaving Sakuno alone but Kikumaru, Oishi and Inui are still staying to keep track on them and also, to protect them.
Shuusuke, knowing that Vampire Hunter Council does not accept someone who has no vampire hunter blood, even just a bit became very much angry. Lastly, he spoke that he'll tell the whole world about their existence, endangering the Vampire Society but, lastly, himself alone.
Ryoma knew about his plans quickly after having a word with Kikumaru, Inui and Oishi. He doesn't know what to do now. He knows that it was his fault why it is happening and so, Kaname visited his room.
"You can't kill him, you know the rules, Ryoma," he told him.
He looked at himself near the mirror and asked him, "Kaname-sama... What would you do if you're in my position?"
Kaname do not know what to answer but he directedly told him, "There's something more that you can do for him."
"And what is that?"
Kaname knew how troublesome his question is, and so, he decided not to answer him with what's on his mind, "Find it out yourself."
Kaname gave him a hand wave and left.
Ryoma still feels bad himself but, what would he do, then? That's his problem himself until, he decided that he face his old senpai in the future to fix the mess himself even Fuji thinks that he is a villain to protect the secrets that must never be revealed or else, he'll die.
