Dark Princess ||Yuki's Twin Sister||

Chapter 8

Yuuka's enthusiasm was more compared to others in the class. This is because it was her first time where her brothers were not watching Yuuka or spying on her. Before when she used to attend school with her brothers, she keeps being watched by someone even if her brothers weren't  able to attend the same class as her. They used to send someone in the place of them to watch her and keep spying her every moves. Why the thought of no one watching her was making her happy? It was because she felt something called freedom after a long time in her life. Freedom doesn't mean the person who achieves it needs to have wings to fly freely on the sky. Her thinking of freedom was to be struggled to know about life and live alone and face alone with the problems she experiences without someone explaining her what to do.

After she joins art class, Art Professor explains something about their test marks held on every assignment they will be given and then, he brings some resources which will be used to design or decorate the portrait which the students will draw or paint.

There were 7 boxes and in each box there were 3 materials. It looked reasonable because there were only 17 students in the class who were taking art class. There was a limitation on using one type of material only. It made sense because using two types of materials would be easy to prepare a perfect portrait but with one it would be harder even impossible to create.

The minute Professor says to grab the materials, student rushes to grab. Yuuka kept her distance and decided to go last since she was not interested in rushing in to the battle of grabbing. Gently and slowly, the rush calms down and Yuuka stands to grab the remaining resources.

Yuuka walks to the box and what were left were only carbon thin wires, 4 pieces of carbon thin wire rolls. Yuuka just keeps staring at it.

“Miss Yuuka I think only the material that is left is carbon wires.” Professor says.

“Yes, I believe.”

“It's been years I have seen one of my students to use carbon wires as their presentation.” Professor mentions.

“Is it?” Yuuka gets engrossed.

“Oh yes! Not many students know how to use carbon wires but Miss Yuuka I will be delighted if you use carbon wires.”

“I think I will take carbon wires as my resource in making portrait.” Yuuka says.

“Well then, Miss Yuuka goes for carbon wires.”

“Professor, can I take two carbon thin wire rolls?”

“Yes, sure. It would be such a waste if there are leftovers. Don't you think?”

Yuuka beams and Okays at Professor. Yuuka took two carbon thin wires and after few minutes Professor declares about class being dismissed. Yuuka packs all her resources and walks out of the class. Suddenly without her concern like usual Mayuri, Mayuri grabs her from behind and jumps on her. It was a habit of her, jumping on someone who is her friend or someone special to her.

“Yuuka.” Mayuri screeches. “It has been a long day. Why not we walk to our dorms and sleep?”

“I think I will pass.”

“Okay but sorry I am really tired and sleepy.” Mayuri says and takes her leave, leaving Yuuka behind.

“Typical Mayuri.” Yuuka mutters. “I heard that.” Mayuri yells as she walks away.

Yuuka walks to the backyard of the school and finds Zero lying on the ground under the shade of tree. Many thoughts and warning passed through her mind but still curiously Yuuka walks near towards Zero.

Yuuka reaches him and leans on him by standing. For a minute, she thought the history was going to repeat again and this time there will be no savior or storyteller to tell what was the cause of her death because she leans and Zero with a deep dark action pulls out his gun and points it at Yuuka. Yuuka was taken back but still continued to stand in her place.

“What are you doing here?” Zero asks keeping his gun pointed at her.

“Would you please lower your gun? It is inappropriate.” Yuuka complains.

“It is not inappropriate when Bloody Rose points at someone who is a vampire.”

“Bloody Rose? Is that your gun's name?” Yuuka chirps and sits infront of Zero. “Brother Reiji once told me that every hunter's weapons have its own name but never have seen one.”

Zero was dazed by the expression of Yuuka. Normally it was an insult for vampires especially for pure bloods to be pointed guns or swords and here this strange new girl was chirping at him.

“You know you are a lot like Ichiru.” Yuuka remarks.

“How do you know Ichiru?” Zero asks as he lowers his gun.

“I don't. It's that you two are just similar at pointing your weapons at someone you just sensed as vampire.”

Zero scoffs and stands up. “Being with you is a waste of time.”

Yuuka stares at him shocked, angry as well as a bit irritated. For a person, it feels insulted to be remarked as a waste of time. By the time she snaps out of her internal battle, Zero already disappeared.

“What are you doing here? I thought your class has already ended 30 minutes ago.” She jumps in flabbergasted as she hears a sudden voice of someone. As she turns to see whose voice it belongs to, she finds it to be Kaname Kuran's voice.

“Kaname. Oh! Sorry! Lord Kaname. It sure is weird to be called Lord Kaname.” She emphasized 'Lord Kaname' in grumpy manlier voice which made Kaname raise his eyebrows.

Before Kaname could act against her insolence, Yuuka chuckles at her own words.

“Sorry I was just kidding around. You know a habit rarely dies and my habit is to get feel free with everyone.” Yuuka speaks. “So Kaname. Wait, do you want me to mention Lord?”

“No you may continue as Kaname.” Kaname permits.

“Okay! Good Kaname! So I was hoping to see school's yard. You know how big our school is and how does it actually look like in day light.” Yuuka gambles.

“Do you always keep talking because it might cause you a problem in future?”

“Really because I don't think so. Talking quickly, freely and continuously proves the innocence of the being.”

“Is that so?”

Yuuka hums in response. “Oh yeah! I have to go to my dorm. Don't know why I am getting sleepy that is making me sleepier.” Kaname was confused by her statement but didn't outline his expression. He just kept watching at her and listened to what she had to say.

“Doesn't usually vampires sleep at day?” Kaname asks as he gets curious for her answer.

“They do but it is unusual for me because I don't.” She says. “I think the weather and area is making my body change in nature. I hope my body adjusts within this week.”

Kaname wanted to ask but as he sees her bending and taking her bag pack from the ground, he stops himself.

“I hope we will meet again.” Yuuka says which caught Kaname's eyes. “Silly of me! Of course we are going to meet at Night Class so by then we should say our bye.”

“It never is a bye until it truly is.” Kaname mumbles and Yuuka hears it but she controls herself from keeping her mouth shut and walks away.

Yuki walks to Kaname. “Do you think she is who I think she is?”

“I think yes but we need more information to be assured.” Kaname states.

“Brother, when are you going to inform this to Mom and Dad?”

“When I confirm of her being but for just now we should wait and observe.” Yuki nods and Kaname walks to his dorm leaving Yuki behind as he knew she would follow him by any minute now.

'I finally got to meet you. This time I am going to spend too much time with you.' Yuki smiles as she thought.
