CROSSED. A VAMPIRE KNIGHT//TOKYO GHOUL FANFICTION.

[25] Do you ever just want to beat up your own character? no? sucks to be you

'Akara, get up.'

'Mmm.'

*audible slap*

'I'm up!' I sat up straight, my back stinging. I look to see Neji holding my shoulder gently and Zero glaring at me. I look down at the ground behind me to see Zero's... shoe.

'You need this?' I picked up his shoe, dangling it in front of his face. He swipes to grab it but I pull it back, a devilish smile on my face. I lob it over the class, students who were still in the room looking confused as a shoe sailed over their heads. The shoe landed in the bin thanks to some air manipulation, making an audible thud as it hit the side of the bin and fell in.

I look back to Zero and see the veins in his forehead popping out his eyebrow twitching. I'm dead.

'Let's go shall we?' I say, pulling the girls out of the seats as fast as I can, a Zero in pursuit. Fuck it. I grab the girls and pick them up under my arms, bolting as fast as I can to a crowded area where Zero won't be allowed to shoot me into oblivion, I hope.

We made it to the middle of the courtyard area, managing to find an empty bench and sitting the girls who were both yelling at me to put them down.

Zero ran out and spotted me, growling and walking back inside, hands shoved in his pockets and a singular shoe on his foot. As soon as he'd walked out of earshot I burst into laughter, half pissing myself as I was doubled over on the ground, tears streaming down my face.

'He looked so stupid I wish I had my camera!' I cried out through my fits of laughter.

Finally, I settled down and propped myself up on the bench, sitting next to the girls.

'They're staring at us...' Neji whispered, her glance moving to the side. She was right, all the loud conversations were quiet whispers, and all of their eyes were on us.

I rolled my eyes and wiped my hands on my pants, getting any dirt off before slinging them around the two girls next to me, pulling them closer to me. A flurry of Kyaa's echoed throughout the courtyard, jealous girls crying out in agony as someone they had no chance with is being very obvious about how much they don't have a chance. Crazy.

Suddenly I see Yuki storming over, a look on her face I have seen all too often. Alright time to get lectured.

She slipped down in front of us on the table and put her staff on the top, glaring daggers at me. 'Zuruya senpai, I request that you leave the day class area immediately otherwise I will have to take disciplinary action.' she announced, loud enough for everyone around us to head. God this brat—

I leaned forward quickly, my hands pulling away from Mary and Neji, and pushing my forward. One hand on the table holding her staff, sparks flying out, and the other under her chin, my finger pushing her jaw up slightly to meet my eyes, my face inches away from hers.

'I don't think a rat like you can order me around?' I ask darkly, a coy tone in my voice. She gulped, her hair falling in front of her face. I gripped her chin more tightly, my fingers wrapping around her fragile bone. My eyes flashed for a second, impossible to tell from a distance but enough for a shiver to be sent up Yuki's spine.

I let go of her chin after a tense second, slowly pulling away with satisfaction, rolling her closed staff back to her. She rubbed her jaw and got up, walking away only to send me a glare from over her shoulder as she disappeared into the crowd.

I sigh and wipe my hands together, happy with myself. I look around at the day class students around me, a tense air.

'Not cool.' Neji said flatly under her breath. I look at her, raising my eyebrow in confusion.
