The Rosen Vampire Knight Series

Rose~n~Vampire: Chapter 25

Emma

My tears tried up after a long time. It was impossible for me to remember how long I had stayed in Kaito's embrace. He still held me up against him and he hadn't moved the whole time. I released my right hand from his waist and pulled my head away to rub the tears that had caught on my eyelashes. The hand fell limp to my side soon followed by my left hand that also fell limp. I stared straight ahead like I could see through Kaito. I felt empty now.

Kaito moved to my left side and put one of his hands around the back of my shoulders so I was braced against his side now. He began to lead me somewhere, but I didn't care where. I wasn't thinking about Zero anymore. He had left my heart with my tears. I was just like an empty shell now.

We walked along side the main building on a path I felt I should have remembered, but I was too blank minded to remember. Our pace was very slow as if Kaito was aware of my state and was trying to not make it worse. He continued on through a courtyard and along side the building.

I finally came out of my dazed state by then and my head cleared up. We were going to the Moon dorm. I wondered why we were going there, we had just past the way to the Day class dorms where my room was. Even so, I continued to let him lead me. My head might have cleared up but my legs were still weak. When we arrived at the Moon dorm, the other vampires that had stayed behind for tonight's classes didn't even look at us. They kept their gaze in the exact opposite of us. Kaito's hand was lightly touching my shoulders now as I was able to walk more and more by myself.

He turned me to the grand staircase on the right side of the room. I had never been upstairs before. The only time I had been here was when he showed me the courtyard in the back of the dorm. But I didn't argue. I walked up the stairs with Kaito on my left still til we reached the third floor. He let go of my shoulders completely and then went down the corridor to the right. I followed close behind him, not wanting to get lost.

We came to a room at the end of the hallway and Kaito opened the door and gestured for me to go inside. I walked in, still confused on why we were here. At least I was away from Zero. He was the last person I wanted to see. And maybe that's why Kaito had brought me here.

I stood inside the rectangular room looking around. There was a king sized bed that had ghost-like curtains just like from my dreams. The wood of the head board was a dark while the covers of the bed were a pure white. There was two windows on either side of the bed that had drapes that you could close to keep out the light. The ceilings were high and there was a chandlier hanging in the center of the room. The room might have been simple, but it was perfect to me.

"You can stay here when ever you want." Kaito said, inturrupting my thoughts. His face was calm and collected.

"This room is for me?" I asked uncertainly after a short gap of silence.

"It's all for you." He answered then added,"And don't hesitate to come over. I'm always free for you."

Did he mean by saying he was always free for me that meant he would always would put me first? That was a comforting thought. That he wouldn't abandon me like Zero. I looked over the room for a second time while Kaito watched me.

"You should get some sleep. It's very early in the morning." Kaito said to me and then went to exit the room."I'll make sure no one disturbs you." he added and then turned and left the room.

After I watched the door close behind him, I took off my boots and went over to the bed and set them beside it. I then layed down on the bed without getting under the covers and slowly drifted to sleep.

Zero

School had began and there was no sign of Emma anywhere. She hadn't come to English and I hadn't seen her go past me to get to lunch. I began to get worried. What if.....what if that idiot Kaito had turned her into a vampire? I shoved the thought away. He was a pureblood. His parents would probably accept a human more than they would a level E. Honor in a pureblood family was very important. He wouldn't risk it.
