nEW fRIENDS? (1/1)

“Good night, Kaname-san!” I smiled and waved. Said Pureblood gave me a heart-warming smile. “See you tomorrow!”“Yes, good night, Kira,” Kaname said as he descended down the short flight of steps. He turned around, gave me one last smile and disappeared in a flash.Sighing, I turned around and faced the front door of the chairman’s residence. ‘Zero-san stays here too,’ I thought as I quietly opened the door. ‘The chairman and Zero-san are probably asleep, so I should be really quiet…’I passed by the kitchen… and the light inside was on, indicating that someone was inside. Peeking out from behind the door, I realized that it was Zero. He wore a dark purple sweater and black pants. And it looks like he was searching for some food in the fridge. ‘Hm… I should just go to my room. And WOW! Zero-san really does lives here!’ Quietly, I closed the kitchen door but my index finger accidentally got caught in it.“OW!!” I hissed and sucked on my throbbing finger. ‘So much for being quiet…’Of course, Zero heard my exclamation of pain and he came out of the kitchen. “New girl?” he asked in a surprised tone.“Hello.” I smiled nervously and quickly stopped sucking my finger, which caused Zero to look at it. “Ah, it’s nothing. It got caught in the door while I was trying to close it…”Zero had a ‘-.-’ face. “Idiot.”“Eh?! No, I’m not an idiot!” I exclaimed as I waved my arms around. “Only idiots call other people idiots!”Zero sighed. “What are you doing here?”“I’m gonna stay here from now onwards,” I explained. “Chairman Cross told me that the dorms were full so I’ll have to stay here until there’s a room available.”“Oh.”“…”“…”“So, I’ll be going up to my room now,” I said as I started climbing the staircase. Zero didn’t say anything and just walked away.*** the next morning ***“Kira-chan, good morning~” a familiar cheerful voice said just as I walked down the stairs, my black hair pinned up as usual and my school uniform neat and tidy. Zero, who was already at the dining table, paid no attention to me, but he did glanced at me when the chairman called my name.“Good morning, Chairman Cross,” I replied as I did a deep bow. ‘Kira… chan?’“Oh~~~ you don’t need to be so formal with me!” the chairman exclaimed as he placed a slice of toast on Zero’s plate. “You can call me ‘daddy’!”An irk mark appeared on Zero’s head. “Stop forcing people to call you ‘daddy’,” he said as he stabbed the toast with a fork. “It’s annoying.”“Ehhhhh… Zero-kun, you’re so meaaan.” The chairman pouted. “Come come, Kira-chan! I made breakfast~”I smiled and sat down beside Zero while the chairman sat down across from us. Quietly, I began eating the food laid out before me. I could feel the chairman’s stare on me. I looked up and said, “Is something wrong, Chairman Cross?”“Ah!” He waved his hands. “Nothing, nothing. It’s just that… you kinda look like Yuuki, especially the eyes~” the chairman said in a mysterious tone.“Really?” I asked, surprised. “I look like Yuuki-san?”The chairman nodded and smiled. “By the way, Zero, Kira-chan, I have something to tell you two.” Zero and I both looked at him. The chairman cleared his throat and said, “Kira-chan will be joining the Disciplinary Committee!” Zero choked on his drink while I had a confused look on my face.“The… Disciplinary Committee? You mean, prefects? Like Yuuki-san and Zero-san?” I asked.Chairman Cross put a hand on his chin and tried to look smug. “Yuuki’s and Zero’s jobs as prefects are just a cover,” he explained. “Their real job is to act as the ‘school guardians’, to protect the secrets of the Night Class.”I had a thoughtful look on my face as I nodded to show that I understood. Then, we heard footsteps approaching the kitchen. Shoulder-length brown hair came into view along with familiar big brown eyes. It was Yuuki. ‘Wow…’ I thought. ‘Our eyes really look similar.’ “Good morning, Yuuki-san,” I said immediately.“Ah! Kira-san, good morning! You too, Chairman, Zero,” Yuuki replied with a smile.“Yuu~ki~” the chairman sang. “Good timing! Now, we can all discuss about Kira-chan joining the Disciplinary Committee!”“Eh?! Kira-san is going to join us?” Yuuki asked with a huge smile.Then, Zero spoke up, “This is ridiculous.” All heads turned to look at him.Yuuki shook her head and sighed. “Not this again…”“How can you expect just me and Yuuki to guard the whole bunch of those bloodsuckers AND deal with the screaming idiots?! MR. CHAIRMAN?!” Zero slammed his hands onto the table.“I admit that it is difficult to deal with every night,” the chairman replied as he sipped a cup of tea. “Thank for your hard work~”“So, you think adding another person who suck up to Kuran would make things any better?” Zero argued. ‘Me… SUCK UP TO KANAME-SAN?!’ I mentally screamed and bored a hole at the back of Zero’s head. “This whole thing will implode!” He then jerked a thumb at Yuuki. “She’s worse than useless!”“HEY!!” Yuuki yelled with an annoyed look. “I’m not taking that from someone who’s late half the time and absent the rest! No way!!”“Um…” I tried to speak but my voice was drowned by Yuuki and Zero arguing. I sweat-dropped and turned to the chairman instead. “I accept the offer, Chairman Cross.”“Brilliant!” the chairman gushed. “Kira-chan is now an official member of the Disciplinary Committee!”“WHAT?!” Zero yelled in disbelief while Yuuki cheered happily and said, “Yay! Finally, someone other than Zero! I’m so happy!!”*** epic time skip to after school XD yep, the whole day passed ***“Is it me or is the crowd larger than yesterday’s?” I asked with a sweat-drop.“Alright!” Yuuki pulled up the armband up her left arm. “Time to tame these wild girls! You ready, Kira-san?”“… I’m not good with crowds,” I muttered and also slipped the armband up my arm. “But, I’ll try. By the way, where’s Zero-san?”“Late as usual,” Yuuki muttered as an irk mark appeared on her head. “AND HE CALLED ME ‘WORSE THAN USELESS’!!”I smiled nervously. “C-Calm down, Yuuki-san.” Then, I noticed some girls trying to climb over the gate of the Moon Dorm. “GYA!! Yuuki-san, we have to go now!”Yuuki panicked as she saw those girls and the two of us practically sprinted towards the crowd. “Girls! Come down please!” the brown-haired girl started yelling. “You’ll hurt yourselves if you fall!”“Please stay back,” I said sternly as I stood in front of the girls who were crowded at the gate. “The Night Class is coming out soon so –”Suddenly, a feeling of dread washed over the whole area. I could smell death, misfortune, sorrow and more death, misfortune and sorrow. Slowly, I turned my head around, my eye twitching. ‘Whaaat…’ I thought as I saw the white-haired male stomping towards us in a scary manner.“KYAA!! It’s Kiryuu! RUN!!” a couple of girls screamed and I watched in awe as a tiny proportion of the crowd disappeared.“Zero!” Yuuki exclaimed as said guy walked towards us, sighing and looking all cool. Then, the white-head took in a deep breath and…“LISTEN UP, BRATS! GET THE HELL BACK TO YOUR DORMS! WHY DO I HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU SCREAMING, GOING ‘KYA’, ‘KYA’, EVERY DAMN DAY?! WHY?!”I covered my ears while Yuuki jumped and threw up her arms into the air. “Whoah…” I couldn’t help but smile. “I heard that yesterday, but today’s one is a little different,” I commented and giggled a bit. Zero gave me a ‘-__-’ face and Yuuki started punching him on the arm.“You were late again! Useless jerk!” Yuuki yelled.“That hurts! OW! I’ll get you for that later!”“As if!”I kept quiet as I watched the two of them argue. ‘I need to get used to this…’ Then, the gates started opening. “KYA!!” The girls rushed towards it and starting drooling at the sight of the Night Class students. Yuuki, dragging Zero by the hair, made her way through the crowd and started yelling for everyone to stay back.Squirming my way through the crowd, I managed to get to the front and helped Yuuki control the wild fangirls. And trying my best to ignore the pain in my head. The vampires had walked out of the gate and were as cool as they could be. While I was searching for any signs of dark brown hair, someone elbowed me in the ribs, causing me to lose my balance. “A-Ah… AH!!”I squeezed my eyes shut and waited for the impact, but it never came. Someone had grabbed me just in the nick of time. I opened my eyes. It was a Night Class student, pale blond hair and warm green eyes.“Are you alright?” the aristocrat asked as he carefully helped me to stand on my feet.“Y-Yes! Thank you,” I said while doing a deep bow at him.The male smiled warmly. “I’m Ichijou Takuma, the vice-president of the Moon Dorm.”“I’m Suo Kira. Nice to meet you.”“Hm, are you a new prefect?” Takuma asked as he looked at the armband on my arm.“Yes. I just joined today.”Takuma smiled. “It’s nice to have someone else on the committee. I was getting a bit worried with just the two of them,” Takuma said as he looked at Yuuki and Zero.Yuuki was talking happily to Kaname, her eyes shining bright and a small blush on her beaming face… while Zero glared at them from some distance away. ‘Ah…’ I came to a conclusion.“Takuma!” someone called. Both of us turned around to see that it was that ‘Wild-senpai’. “Takuma, let’s go or else we’re gonna leave you behind.” ‘Wild-senpai’ noticed me, his brown eyes boring into mine as he ruffled his light orange hair. “A new prefect?” he muttered in a bored tone.“Y-Yes!” My head was starting to hurt more. ‘All of them are nobles… and powerful.’ “I’m Suo Kira!”“Akatsuki Kain,” the vampire replied and walked along with Takuma back to the Night Class students.“Takuma-senpai… Kain-senpai…” I muttered to myself and tried to memorize their names. “Hm… Ichijou-san? Akatsuki-san? How should I call them…?”“I think ‘Takuma-senpai’ and ‘Kain-senpai’ are better,” a voice said from behind me. I jumped, letting out a small shriek, and my head thumped. ‘Don’t tell me it’s another gorgeous Night Class student…’ And I was right. “Oh! Sorry to startle you!” The blond vampire smiled and his ice-blue eyes twinkled. “I’m Hanabusa Aidou,” he said with a grin. “Nice to meet you, Kira-chan~”‘How… does he know my name?’ “H-Hello, Hanabusa-san… er, Aidou-senpai?” I asked and the blond grinned.“Hm, you became a prefect on your second day. Sweet~” Aidou smiled. “And you’re just as cute as Yuuki!”I blushed slightly. ‘I’m not used to people calling me cute.’ “R-Really? Well, um… you’re quite handsome yourself, Aidou-senpai,” I said and smiled at him.“I know I’m irresistible~” Aidou then started twirling around… then he stopped. “Oh! Here~ for you, Kira-chan.” He looked at me and held out an empty palm. My eyes widened as ice started to form in his palm until it grew into the shape of a beautiful rose.Filled with awe, I carefully took the fragile-looking ice rose from Aidou’s palm. “It’s so beautiful, Aidou-senpai!” I smiled sweetly. “Thank you! So, your power is ice then.”“Yep.” Aidou grinned. “Isn’t it awesome?”“Aidou-senpai!” Yuuki’s voice called. “Please get back here and leave Kira-san alone!”Said vampire pouted. “Okay, I’m coming.” Aidou turned around and winked at me. “See you tomorrow! Or maybe tonight.” He then smiled and went back to join the rest of his classmates.
