Chapter 2: Voices of the Past
*Lily's PoV*
I excitedly began packing my favorite outfits and other necessary things. I'm so excited! This is going to be the best remaining four months of my life. I began humming a happy tune as I ran around my huge bedroom getting things that I was going to pack. As I was packing and such I heard a knock on my door.
"Coooome in!" I said giddily.
In entered Seira, who had Bloody Diamond in her hand.
"You forgot this in the limo again, Lily." She said.
"Whoops! I forgot it again. Thank you, Seira." I said, taking the gun back.
"Did you finish packing?" I said as I continued putting clothes on my suitcase.
"Yeah, a long time ago! I already have all my shoujo manga packed up, and all my favorite outfits!" She said happily.
"Hehe, well I'm almost done. I just have to pack these perfumes. Can't forget these." I said.
"Hey, hey, hey. Wait a second here. What is that in your hand?" Seira said looking at what was in my hand.
I looked down and it was the perfume that I snagged from Seira's room. Whoops... I forgot to hide it. But it smells so good... I love the smell of roses on this one.
"Hey! I've been looking for that perfume everywhere! Gimme that!" She said as she snagged the perfume back from me.
"...You have enough perfumes in your collection!" She said poutily.
"Sorry. I just love the smell of that!" I said, giggling.
Then Seira changed the subject completely.
"Hey, Lily... Are you sure you didn't feel anything for Zero? I mean, he always ignores everyone but with you, he seemed fine. He sorta acted like himself, from what I saw."
"No, I don't. In all honesty, I feel in my heart deep down inside, someone is waiting for me out there. I don't know who, but I can sense it deep within my heart. And anyways, maybe he just saw that I'm way more mature than you and the fact that when you were partnered with him, you asked him too many questions." I said.
"Hey! I can be just as mature as you, Lily! And what if Zero is the one that is calling to you? Haven't you gotten that into your mind?" She said.
But he didn't move my heart. He couldn't be the one questioning who my name is in my dreams... And I didn't feel anything when I first met him.
I laughed. "You guys are so dumb! How can you believe that just because Zero Kiryu talked to me normally, he suddenly has a crush on me?"
"Well, 'cause he's cold to almost everyone in the Association. He opened up to you a bit." She said.
"And you know he was a bit cold to me when we first met, and the only thing he told me was to stay away from that Night Class when we arrive to Cross Academy." I said in my usual carefree tone.
"Why? Cause they are vampires? Big deal. We can take them out easily." Seira said without a care in the world.
"Seira, one thing that you should know about the Night Class is that it is made up of Nobles and a Pureblood. They are pretty powerful, I mean come on. So far, the highest class of vampires we've ever fought are Level C's. The Association has never asked us to kill a Pureblood or Noble."
"Pfft... Sure we haven't fought them. But we are trained to do so. I wonder... What if we ever faced a Pureblood? Now things would get real if we got a mission to kill one." She said in an excited tone.
I sighed. "Now, Seira. We have to coexist with vampires. They haven't done anything against us." I said calmly.
"Kira..." I heard a man's soft and gentle voice echo in my head.
What the... Who was that? And who the hell is Kira? I looked around, but I didn't see anything.
"Are you alright there, Lily?" Seira said, bringing me back to reality.
"Oh, I'm fine. Just some things on my mind." I said with a smile.
She sighed. "As usual... Well, it's almost time for dinner so we should be getting downstairs."
"Ok." I said as I put the last item in my suitcase.
I zippered my suitcase up and put it in a corner of my room. We then made our way downstairs.
As Seira and I were making our way to the dining room, my mind once again goes to its own little world.
That man's voice... It sounded like the man in my dreams. This just has to be a joke. Someone has to be playing with me here, I mean, who is Kira? I've never heard of that name before in my life! Ugh. I have to forget about this, seriously...
As we arrived to the dinner table, everyone was there already, once again waiting for us.
"Literally, you guys I was just about to dig in, but Mom and Dad stopped me." Hiroki said.
"Hehe, thanks Mom and Dad. I was a bit worried that Hiroki was going to eat everything." Seira said, relieved.
We sat down and my favorite dish was served which was yakitori, a grilled chicken.
"Itadakimasu!" We all said and then began to dig in.
"As usual, this is delicious! One of the things I'm going to miss here is the delicious homemade yakitori..." I said as I continued stuffing my face.
"Damn, she's wolfing it all down!" Daisuke said.
"I'm starving! And a vampire hunter like me needs her strength!" I said.
"Hehe, take it easy, Lily. There's plenty more where that came from." Mom said.
"Well, she eats just like her father does." Dad said proudly.
"And to believe you're proud of that..." I said, laughing.
*20 minutes later*
After we finished dinner, the sun was already setting and the moon began showing itself. Tomorrow is a new day... I can't wait to go to Cross Academy and meet new friends!
I said good night to everyone and went up to my room. I went to take a fresh shower and fifteen minutes later, I dried myself up and got in my baby blue colored pajamas.
I then plopped myself into bed and before I knew it, I fell asleep into the world of dreams.
*Kaname's PoV*
"Good evening, Lord Kaname." The entire Night Class said as I went down the staircase along with Ichijo.
"Good evening, everyone. Shall we take our leave to the gate?" I said.
They all nodded. As we made our way to the gate, I had my mind on other things, and then Ichijo's voice brought me out from my thoughts.
"Did you hear what I said, Kaname?" He called out to me.
"I apologize, Ichijo. What did you say?" I said.
"Did the Headmaster notify you that there are four new students being admitted to the Day Class tomorrow?" He asked me.
"Yes, I am well aware of that. They are from a prestigious family of vampire hunters. They are going to be helping Kiryu and Yuuki as members of the Disciplinary Committee."
"Ah, I see! Well, I'm excited to meet them!" He said happily.
The gate then opened, revealing the annoying screaming girls. Here we go again... I put my fake smile and smiled at all the girls.
"Kaname! Over here!" One of them said. I looked over at her and smiled.
"Omg! Did you see that? He smiled at me!"
"No, he was smiling at me, you idiot..."
"No! I'm very sure it was me, stupid."
All of them looked like they were about begin a quarrel. Seriously, just because of a smile?
"Now, girls... If you would just calm down..." Yuuki said.
"Shut up, Cross! We all know perfectly that you are playing the nice and innocent girl just so you can get closer to Kaname! Taking advantage as being part of the Disciplinary Committee just so that you can be near him everyday." One of the girls said.
"T-that's not true!" She said.
All of them tried to pass Yuuki, however Yuuki ended up falling to the ground. I then turned back and walked over to her.
"Are you alright, Yuuki?" I said as I held out my hand.
"Y-yes! I'm fine! Thank you..." I then helped her up.
"You girls better be staying where you are right now, or else." Kiryu said, holding back the girls in a perfect fashion, giving them an angry look.
"Sorry for causing so much ruckus here..." She said, sympathetically.
I patted her head. "Don't worry about that. Thank you for your hard work." I smiled at her and then walked away. That's strange... That warmth and gentleness that attracted me to her.. I no longer feel it anymore. It's like... I don't have feelings for her anymore. As I was walking behind the other Night Class students to class, I overheard the conversation between the others.
"Well, now it's going to be easy for Zero and Yuuki. They are going to have four others to help them with those crazy girls." Kain said as he was walking with Ruka and Aido.
"Wait who are they again?" Shiki said questionably.
"They are from the Adachi family, a family of talented vampire hunters known for successfully killing vampires on the execution list. They are on the list of the top 10 most powerful vampire hunters, being ranked number 2 before Cross. However, they are very close to taking Kaien Cross' position as number 1." Rima said.
"I'm actually looking forward to meet them. I heard they have two beautiful daughters!" Aido said.
"I don't think anyone of them are even allowed to date vampires, Hanabusa. They are vampire hunters. They kill vampires, not fall in love with them." Kain said.
Falling in love with a vampire hunter... Is that even possible?
"Aaaw! That's too bad!" Aido said.
"Oh come on, Hanabusa. Half the vampire hunters I have seen aren't even handsome, and the girls, now don't get me started with them..." Ruka said.
"Well that's your opinion, Ruka. Now I wouldn't mind dating one." Aido said.
We then entered the classroom and we all went to our usual spot. As usual, I stood against the wall near the window and began reading my book. However, it's the first time that I've actually been distracted. I really do want to find her now. I want to see her and know who she is.
I looked out the window and looked to the distance. As I looked outside, I saw a faint image of that girl from my dreams, who was looking up to the moon. Her pink hair flowed with the wind and she didn't turn around at all, as usual. I looked at everyone and noticed that they were doing what they usually do in class. It seems that only I can see this girl. About a minute later she then disappeared. Why do I keep seeing her? Who is she?
"I guess this is goodbye, Kaname... "
Once again, I hear her voice echo and it was a very upset voice, as if she is about to cry and nobody seems to hear it. I cannot take this anymore.
"Ichijo. Watch the Night Class for tonight. I'm going back to the dorm." I said as I closed my book.
"Um, sure.." He said, confused.
"Are you alright, Lord Kaname?" Ruka said worriedly.
"I'm fine.. I just remembered I had some things to finish at the dorm." I said.
I then left the classroom.
A few minutes later, I got back to my room and went to the bathroom to splash water on my face. I must be hallucinating. I'm seeing things that others are not seeing...
"I really need to ignore this ridiculousness. It's getting to my head and taking away my concentration..."
I sighed. I then sat on my sofa bed and took out another book to get my mind of this... I just hope these visions stop...
*the next day, Lily's PoV, 6:00 am*
Wow... I can't believe the day has finally arrived! I was already dressed up and ready to go. In my leather jacket, I had Bloody Diamond loaded and ready should anything happen. We are supposed to be there at Cross Academy early as we need to settle in and get to know the school. I went downstairs with all my luggage and everyone was already at the breakfast table.
"You guys didn't wait for me today?" I said, pouting.
"Because you need to be there early today! We can't have you all be late on your first day!" Mom said.
I sighed. "I guess you're right..."
I sat down and began eating breakfast with the others.
*20 minutes later*
We finished eating breakfast and the time for us to leave has arrived. All of us stood at the entrance to the mansion.
My parents looked at me worriedly.
"Lily, if you happen to get sick or weak in the coming months, don't hesitate to come back home." Mom said worriedly.
"I'll be fine for now. Don't worry." I said. It's only January 14. My birthday is May 15th. I should be ok." I said with a smile, reassuring her.
"Don't worry, Mom. If anything happens to Lily, we will take care of her." Daisuke said. Seira and Hiroki nodded in agreement.
"Thank you. Now you all should be going. The Headmaster awaits your arrival." Dad said.
"Yes, well we will take our leave! See ya, Mom, Dad!" Seira said happily. We all waved our hands to Mom and Dad and said our goodbyes. As we approached the limo, I looked back at the Adachi mansion. The next time I see this place, will be a few days before I leave this world... But there's still four months! Four months to have some fun and meet new friends! The four of us then got in the limo and with that, we were on our way to Cross Academy...
~I'll show you a sweet dream next night~
