Cursed Eyes ( vampire knight)

Chapter 3/Re-Edited

  Exhaustion gnawed at Rin's edges as she finally settled onto the plush bed in her dorm room. The encounter with Kaname had left her mind swirling with unspoken words and hidden agendas. She glanced at the photo of her younger self and Shiki, a bittersweet pang echoing in her chest.

Suddenly, a soft tapping at the window startled her. Ai, transformed back into his bat form, landed on the sill. Relief washed over her as she received his silent confirmation of Shiki's safety. With a sigh, she leaned back against the pillows, the weight of her purpose pressing down on her.

The sound of a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. "Come in," she called out, her voice betraying none of the weariness she felt.

The door creaked open, revealing Shiki. His normally carefree demeanor was clouded with a hint of concern. "Hey," he said, his voice hesitant. "How are you settling in?"

Rin forced a smile. "Fine. Just a bit tired from the journey."

Shiki crossed the room and sat on the edge of the bed. "Look," he started, then paused. "I know things have been... strange since you arrived. But I'm glad you're here."

Rin met his gaze, a flicker of warmth softening her eyes. "I'm here for a reason, Shiki. And you know it."

A heavy silence descended upon them, broken only by the distant sounds of the night academy. Finally, Shiki stood up. "Alright," he said, resignation tinging his voice. "Just... be careful."

He turned towards the door, then paused again. "And Rin?"

"Yes?"

Shiki hesitated for a moment, then a wry smile touched his lips. "Welcome home... little sis." With that, he disappeared out the door, leaving Rin alone once more.

The next afternoon, a different kind of anticipation filled the air as Rin made her way towards the Moon Dormitory for her first official night class session. As the door swung open...

As the door to the Moon Dormitory swung open, a hushed anticipation filled the air. The night class students, normally composed and stoic, took a momentary pause in their activities. When Kaname, Shiki, and Rin entered, the atmosphere became charged with a subtle tension.

The night class students, impeccably dressed in their uniforms, stood in a respectful line. As Kaname crossed the threshold, they synchronized into a bow, their voices harmonizing in unison, "Welcome back, Kaname-sama." The display of deference was a testament to the reverence they held for their noble leader.

As the students straightened up, Ichijo, always the inquisitive one, approached the trio. His eyes flickered with curiosity as he examined Rin, who maintained an air of indifference.

"Who is this, Kaname-sama?" Ichijo inquired, his gaze shifting between Kaname and Rin.

Kaname, with a subtle smile, looked down at Rin and introduced her with a regal tone, "This is Rin Shiki, and she will be joining us in the Night Class."

The revelation of Rin's identity elicited a collective gasp from the night class students. Their eyes darted between Shiki and the newcomer, trying to reconcile the unexpected connection. Aido, ever animated, couldn't contain his surprise and blurted out, "SHIKI!"

Rin, wearing the same bored expression as her older brother, mirrored Senri's characteristic look. She calmly responded to the outburst, "Yes, Senri is my older brother."

The night class students exchanged puzzled glances, unsure how to process this revelation. Aido, not one to be restrained, rushed forward and embraced Rin. The sudden embrace caught both Kaname and Shiki off guard, causing them to instinctively step back, observing the unfolding scene with bemusement.

In the Moon Dormitory, a new dynamic was introduced, intertwining the threads of relationships and lineage. The night class, with its elegant veneer, now harbored a new element of intrigue, embodied by the presence of Rin Shiki. Little did they know that her arrival would unravel hidden secrets and reshape the delicate balance within the Moon Dormitory.

Aido's enthusiastic embrace of Rin seemed to break the spell of silence that had momentarily settled in the Moon Dormitory. The other night class students exchanged glances, their curiosity and intrigue mounting. It wasn't every day that the stoic Shiki had a sister, especially one who exuded an air of nonchalance amidst the aristocratic atmosphere.

As Aido continued to hug Rin, a mischievous grin playing on his lips, Kaname and Shiki shared an amused glance. It seemed Rin's presence had injected an unexpected energy into the usually composed night class.

Kaname spoke up, his voice cutting through the air, "Aido, that's enough. Give her some space." Aido reluctantly released Rin, though his eyes still sparkled with excitement.

Rin, unfazed by the attention, looked around the room with a cool detachment. The night class students, gradually recovering from the surprise, began to resume their activities, though stealing occasional glances at the newcomer.

Ichijo, always quick to adapt, broke into a charming smile. "Welcome to the night class, Rin. We're delighted to have you join us." His words were met with polite nods from the students.

Kaname, with a subtle grace, motioned for Rin to follow him. "Let me show you to your seat."

As they moved further into the Moon Dormitory, the night class students exchanged whispers, speculating about the mysterious Shiki siblings and the reasons behind Rin's sudden enrollment. The dynamics within the class were shifting, and the air was charged with an undercurrent of curiosity and anticipation.

In a secluded corner, Zero and Yuuki observed the scene from the shadows, their curiosity piqued by the unfolding events. The arrival of Rin had set in motion a series of changes that resonated beyond the night class. Little did they know that the secrets harbored within the Moon Dormitory were on the verge of being unraveled, and the delicate balance between humans and vampires was about to face new challenges.
