CROSSED. A VAMPIRE KNIGHT//TOKYO GHOUL FANFICTION.

[32] listening to bohemian rhapsody is the music version of speed

As we made it to the building, I saw someone waving their hand at me. Not a student or a teacher, but someone familiar. 'Akara-san! I need to talk to you~' no <3

'Headmaster!' I call out, raising my hand a little so he would stop flapping his arms about like an idiot.

'Hey, I gotta go. Catch you later.' I say to Moka, walking away from her. She waved to me and I waved back and then turned my attention to Mr manchild.

'I'm sure you had a fun sleepover with dead Akashiya-san, but you've missed some things while you've been away. Let me catch you up.'

I walked with the headmaster into the building, heading in the opposite direction of the classrooms. He opens the door to the office for me and I'm already more than aware of the vampire sitting inside.

I stiffen my grip, clenching my fist a little as I walk in and spot a girl with silvery purple hair kicking her legs as she sits on the headmaster's desk.

'Akara I would like you to meet our new transfer student, Maria Kurenai.'

'Yeah, I know her.' I spoke, walking closer to her. 'Aren't you supposed to be sick and dying?' I spat, malice evident in my tone.

'I see you've done your research. The headmaster has told me enough about you to master Uri, or do you prefer Enzaki.' she narrowed her eyes back, noticing she hit a nerve as she spoke my family name. The same voice as that woman.

'What do you want with cross academy Kurenai?' I growled, slamming my fist down on the headmaster's desk, right next to where she sat.

'To learn, of course.' she said back, a sweetly disgusting tone on her lips.

'Miss Maria is residing in the old teacher's dorm due to her health, Akara. I'm sure you will be more than welcoming to Miss Maria.' Kaien said, a sense of authority wavering from him.

'Welcoming, my ass. I'm on duty tonight so don't expect me to be in class.' I growled, storming out of the office and back down. What the hell is one of Shizuka's lackey's doing here? Zero must know about her too.

I went outside and walked around the perimeter of the building, blowing off steam.

'Akara!' a voice called out, snapping me back into reality. I look up and see Yuki running to me, holding something. 'I had a feeling you'd be back today.'

She finally caught up to me, panting and handed me my sword, along with the knives. 'Thought you might need this.'

I graciously took them out of her hands and put it on my belt, sliding it so it sat properly.

'You're not going to class today?' she asked, looking up at me with those puppy dog eyes.

'Nah, I need the fresh air, besides you guys are overworked already.'

'You can say that again, Zero's been such a slacker, going off and leaving me to do all the— Zero!' She cut herself off and called his name, causing me to turn around and see him standing there, arms crossed and unamused.

'Where have you been?' he said, probably trying his best not to sound overjoyed that I'm back.

'I had a sleepover.' I reply back, walking over to him. 'i missed you~'

'Yeah yeah save it for the judge.' he rolled his eyes. I smiled and grabbed him, pulling him into a big bear hug. He struggled against my grip but I was a lot stronger than him, so.

I heard Yuki's footsteps dissipate behind me as I was half hugging, half choking out Zero. thank god otherwise this would have been awkward.

'Seriously Akara,' Zero pushed himself away from me, looking me dead in the eyes. 'I was worried about you. Where were you?'
