CROSSED. A VAMPIRE KNIGHT//TOKYO GHOUL FANFICTION.

[24] what's the line between a sexy bodyguard and an escort? asking for a friend

 I tiptoe over to the sun dorm, avoiding any straggler day class student. It felt like the middle of the night but in reality, the day class was just beginning to wake up. Which is bad news for me.

I go inside the building and look around suspiciously, trying to see or hear any humans coming my way, that's when I feel a hand grab me by my back and pull me back out the door. I wasn't even thinking of behind me. God, I'm royally fucked.

'Akara what are you doing!' A voice hissed at me, pulling me around a corner and then down onto the group. I turned around quickly to see Mary holding her hand up to her lips, shushing me before I could say anything.

'Did you see where he went?' A high pitched voice half shrieked from inside.

'No omg he must be going to the boy's side~'

'Zuruya is mine! I want to ask him to the ball!'

'Ball?' I ask, turning to Mary, trying to push back the nagging thoughts of how badly my powers are working thanks to miss bitch and her treehouse.

'You seriously don't remember?' she hissed at me, her voice still low.

'Remember what?' I say, looking at her strangely.

'The sun and moon ball, the only time the night class and day class are allowed to mingle freely.' she flicked my forehead, irritated. That seemed to jog the memory.

'Oh yeah that... oh not that!' I whisper rather too loud.

'Yeah! That!'

'God I hate that, I hate dancing and I hate being around vampires—' wait, did I tell her?

'Yeah, now I'm starting to understand why you avoided the night class like the plague.' she muttered, pulling herself above the window sill to check for any other day class students. 'The coast is clear, lets go.'

She grabbed me by the wrist and gave me no time to get up and run with her. Just picture a girl, five foot three, pulling along a boy that's an entire foot taller than her. Yeah, it's awkward. I yank my hand out of hers and follow her. She was heading down the boy's dorm, but not to my room.

Finally, she pulled me into one of the spare dorm rooms, shutting the door behind herself.

'You made it!' I turn around to see Neji standing there, obviously, this was planned. I feel like I'm being lured into a trap.

'What exactly do you two want with me?' I say, the two standing next to each other in front of me. They look at each other with tense looks. They never get like this. What the hell is going on?

'Akara can we ask you something?' Neji softly says, not even making eye contact. Ohhhh something is totally up. I nod begrudgingly, my curiosity getting the better of me.

They both huff in a deep breath, looking almost scared. 'Akara can you please come with us to the ball?'

I sweatdropped, deadpanning to them. Are you serious? Like seriously serious. 'That's—'

'We're only asking because the girls in our class are giving us a seriously tough time!' Neji held her hands clasped above her head, Mary copying their movements.

'They still know you as Zuruya, and someone apparently saw us last time! We haven't had a second to ourselves, they've even gone as far to trash our uniforms!'

My eyes widen a little, and I realise now that I get a better look at them, their uniforms are tattered, Neji's blonde hair was faintly tinted blue in some places, and Mary wasn't wearing her glasses. What exactly has been happening...
