CROSSED. A VAMPIRE KNIGHT//TOKYO GHOUL FANFICTION.

[12] fangirls deserve capital punishment

I peeled off to the right and half jogged through the streets, trying to find any clues to where Yuki could have gone. That's when I spot it, the cafe that Yuki always dragged me to go to with her. I go inside to see a waitress standing rather awkwardly.

'Excuse me, have you seen a girl, short brown hair, up to yae height on me, perhaps accompanied by a silver-haired boy?' her expression was slack until I mentioned zero's description.

'You mean the night class boy!' she excitedly exclaimed. Now I have no idea if we're on the same page, let alone book.

'Yeah, they were in here a few minutes ago, the girl actually just left.' I turned around to look back out the shop window, but I couldn't see anyone that looked like Yuki or zero amongst the crowds. 'Hey, you look like another night class student though, I've heard so much about your class, oh my gosh you're so handsome—' I walked out. No thanks, lady... I uh, don't bat for that team, so to speak.

I looked around at the street, there was an open square close to here that we used to go and sit in on warm days such as today, she has to have gone there. I run through the crowds towards it, catching a faint hint of Yuki's scent. So I am on the right path.

I ran as hard as I could without garnering too much attraction, very aware of the stares and comments being made about me already. I reached an opening, in the corner of the square where we usually sat. That's when I got a full breath of Yuki's scent. There was no doubt about it, she was here not long ago.

I feel like I'm only ten seconds behind her, trying to catch the very end of her but she kept slipping away. I turned in the direction I could smell her the strongest and close my eyes. If I want to use my sense of smell I need to stop trying to see with my eyes and start seeing with my nose, cheesy as it sounds.

I imagined a map in my mind, a path leading me to her. Keeping my eyes closed, I walked along the path, blocking out any distractions that I could. I don't exactly know what i'm doing, I guess you could call it "following your instincts" but don't quote me on that.

That's when I heard a shriek. Yuki's voice, the smell of blood, the sounds of receding footsteps. I bolted to where I heard the sounds coming from, following the scent as it grew stronger. I could hear my heartbeat beating in my chest, pounding as the adrenaline pumped through my veins.

'Yuki!' I yelled, sliding on the ground as I made a hard turn into an abandoned building. I heard a gun go off. Zero must be there too. I ran inside and looked around frantically, trying to locate where they ran off to.

I saw the staircase and made my bets that she went up, climbing up the flights of stairs when the wood broke under me.

My heart stopped.

I fell, two stories, three stories maybe. Crashing into the worn away wood, only for that to give way to me as well. I knew I would be fine, but the pain as I felt my bone break under me was enough to make me scream out.

I finally managed to get up after waiting for a couple of seconds for my bones to relocate themselves. I looked up above as a solid quarter of all the staircases were to put it lightly... fucked.

I needed to improvise. Climbing on the railing of one side of the staircase, I leapt up and somehow parkoured my way up to the top where I was met with an open hatch.

I popped my head through. 'Yoohoo, big summer blowout?'

Kaname stared at me, I think today is the day he's finally going to kill me. Like I can see it, in his eyes, he would bludgeon me with an axe. I would too.

'What happened?' I asked, crawling out of the manhole. I saw Yuki in Kaname's arms, no zero around.

'If you're looking for zero, he already left.' i'm fully convinced Kaname can read my mind. Blink twice if you can read my mind Kaname. (he didn't blink but im still suspicious.) 'Yuki was attacked by two, level E's, luckily zero and I handled the situation. Sorry for bringing you out here.' he turned to Yuki, a much, much more affectionate expression on his face. Ouch.
