Month 5
Random Day Week 1:
A light touch. . .A slight move. . .It's all new. . . And it's scary. . .
"Yah!" I quickly sit up, and wave my arms around frantically. Aido and his dad quickly stand up to check up on me. Seiren is already on the move looking for danger.
"What is it?! What's wrong, Alondra-sama?!" Aido-dono asks me.
"They're moving!" I say as I continue moving my arms around. Aido-dono covers his mouth as he holds in his laughter. He puts a gentle hand to my shoulder. Seiren and Aido relax and look over at me as well.
"It's alright, Alondra-sama. It's natural for a child to move inside of their mother." He says trying to calm me down.
"Yeah, I've never seen you this freaked out before." Aido says adding his own little remark.
"Well you feel how weird it is!" I yell out at him as I put his hand to my stomach. He blushes brightly.
"See?" I say to him as I cringe at the movement inside of me.
"Wow, they really are moving." He says gently moving his hand around my stomach.
"I've watched too many scary movies. I feel like it's going to be an alien that's going to come out of my stomach, and tear me open. Spilling my gu-" Aido covers my mouth quickly.
"Alondra! Seriously! We're eating right now!" I give him an apologetic look, and he puts his hand down.
"Sorry. I was still freaking out. But you gotta admit it feels strange. Even stranger for me having movement going on inside of me that isn't my bo-"
"Alondra!" I wince.
"Sorry! I don't think before I speak!" I say again taking a seat, and looking at my vegetables hesitantly.
"Just one piece of chocolate is all I ask for. This healthy eating is driving me insane." I complain as I throw my head back on the chair.
"I doubt you can get crazier." Aido says eating his food. I give him an icy death glare, but he pretends not to notice it. So, Aido-dono does me the favor of smacking him upside the head. I start to laugh at the look on Aido's face.
"Oh! Seiren, you too! Come feel, they're lively right now!" I walk over to the silver haired girl. She looks at my stomach and then places her hands on it.
"Yes, you are right, they are moving a lot. It must feel strange." I nod in agreement and smile as she's transfixed on my stomach.
"Alondra-sama." I see a maid entering the dinning room coming towards me in a rush.
"Pardon me for bothering you during your meal, but Nurse Chiharu is here, but another man has come also." The maid tells me. I arch an eyebrow curiously.
"Who?" I question her, and I try to push away the thought of Zero coming to the surface.
"I believe he said he was your father." I choke on my own spit, and start coughing. Aido is quickly at my back patting it gently. The maid rushes to get me water, but I refuse with a gesture. I manage to calm my cough, and look over at the maid.
Seiren had pulled back, I guess she was startled.
"Let Nurse Chiharu in like normal, but please wait for Aido to tell you when you can bring him into my study." I say to her. She bows to me, and heads out. Aido helps me up, and I slowly make my way towards the study with Seiren's help.
"Damn. This is so heavy. Four more months of this. I hope they don't get bigger than this, but continue to develop fully." I say as I sit down on the swivel chair.
"Would you like me to start carrying you?" I blush and shake my head at Seiren.
"No, no, that's okay. I won't use you for such a thing." I get as comfortable as I can get and let Seiren take her spot beside me.
"Okay, you can send him in." I tell Aido who leaves, and the only ones who remains with me are Aido-dono and Seiren.
"By your father, did the maid mean Kaien Cross?" He questions me.
"Yes, the man that raised me and my elder sister for ten years." I say to him with a sad smile.
"Pardon me, Alondra-sama. I didn't mean to bring painful memories to the surface." Aido-dono says bowing to me. I motion for him to stand.
"Please don't bow. You've become like family to me, and family doesn't bow to family." I say taking his hand gently.
"Thanks to you and Ai-Hanabusa, and Seiren I was able to surpass my sorrow. You've all been very good to me, even though I don't deserve it. Truly. From the bottom of my heart, thank you." He smiles back and hesitates to pet my hair, but in the end he goes for it. Awkwardly at first, but then he gets comfortable. He puts his hand down, and then the door to the study opens.
"Alondra, I've brought him." Aido says stepping in, and walking over next to his father as Headmaster Cross makes his way inside. I would stand up to hug him, but even he doesn't know about my babies.
"Father! It's good to see you." I say without thinking.
"F-father? OH ALONDRA!" He says leaping for me. I react without thinking and push my chair back as Aido and his dad stop him from jumping on me. Too late I hide my stomach. Headmaster Cross has seen it. Even Seiren tried to block me with her body, but it was a second too late.
"Alondra, you're. . ." Headmaster says, but doesn't finish his sentence. I uncover my stomach slowly as I nod my head.
"It's alright, Seiren. You can move." She bows her head and moves to the side, holding my chair.
"Yeah. I'm pregnant." I say, but then I stand up as fast as my growing stomach will let me. "But please don't tell anyone! Please!" I beg to him.
"Is the father. . .MY BABY GIRL! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" Headmaster yells shaking Aido furiously.
"ZERO'S THE FATHER!" I yell out so he won't accuse Aido falsely.
"Zero?" The Headmaster faints, and Aido catches him, but then drops him.
"Get up, Headmaster. It's not that shocking. You should have seen this coming." I say to him as the four of us look down at him. He sits up, and hugs me tightly.
"But you're just a baby!" He says crying way too over dramatically.
"I'll be eighteen by the time my sons are going to be born." I say to him.
"Sons? Two?" He says apparently still taking it all in.
"Well, think on the bright side. You're going to be a grandfather." I say to him trying to get him to see the good things. That instantly perks him up.
"Grandfather. I'm going to be a grandfather!" He says, and that doesn't make him stop hugging me. In fact he hugs me tighter.
"Oh! I'm so happy!" I'm still trying to pry free from him. Aido-dono and Aido just watch, unsure of what to do.
Seiren is a little more ready and flips the Headmaster on his back and pins him down. Seiren sure is a huge help.
~0~
"So, please don't tell Zero. Please." I ask of him as I give him -what I think- fair reasoning. Headmaster sits back on the couch sipping the green herbal tea Nurse Chiharu prepared him, and what he doesn't know is that she added a tiny amount of sedative to calm down this energetic man.
"I don't know about this. I think he has a right to know." Headmaster says looking at me seriously.
"It's been a touchy subject, but I saw how you two connected that first day I brought Zero in six years ago. He changed you as much as you changed him even if it was only with each other." I look down at my Cross Academy emblem necklace, and touch it gently.
"I know. I know that better than anyone, but I'm scared. I built up my confidence once before, but he was gone, and I didn't have the courage anymore to tell him about our sons. We're on thin ice. We're basically getting back together again, and this news might either bring us closer or tear us completely apart." My selfishness and fear is too great. I don't know if I should tell him anything.
"Alondra, isn't the risk worth it. I realize how much you love him, but if he really loves you like I think he does, then he won't leave you." I blink my eyes rapidly.
"Okay. I understand. I'll tell him." I say again, but not as confidently as when Nurse Chiharu convinced me to tell him the first time.
"Headmaster Cross, if she doesn't want to tell him, she doesn't have to." Aido says putting his hands to my shoulders. I've had enough of this for tonight. I get out of Aido's touch and rush upstairs towards my room. I sense Nurse Chiharu following after me.
"Alondra-sama, you know it's not healthy to be feeling like this constantly." Nurse Chiharu says to me as she tries to soothe my sorrow.
"I know. I really do, but if Zero doesn't feel like I do then that will just cause me greater pain. I just can't figure out how he feels about vampires anymore. Can't I wait until my sons are born, before I tell him? That way I don't have to feel like this, but only ten times worse if I get the worst heartbreak of my life." I say actually finding a rational answer I can live with. An answer that even Nurse Chiharu finds convincing.
"That might be wise. I'll tell your father right away then, and send him off for you." She says to me. I nod my head, and smile at her gratefully.
"Thank you very much, Nurse Chiharu." She bows her head to me, and then heads out leaving me to rest.
"Yes, that's how it's going to be. Just four more months, and then I'll tell you. I promise." I whisper into the dark atmosphere. Zero hasn't come over yet, and I'm starting to feel hungry. He must be too. He should be here by the time the sun's rays hit this windowless room.
"Alondra-san, it has been a while, you must be hungry." Seiren enters my bedroom and I look at her sadly.
"Yes, I am getting hungry for blood. Sorry, Seiren." She walks over to me and sits on the bed next to me.
"Then please, take what you need from me to hold you as you wait for the hunter." I apologize again and reach over to her neck and drink her blood.
"Alondra-san, it's alright to look at my memories. I can admit it to you now. The person I was before. A human named Hoshino." I pull my fangs out and look at her surprised.
"You're an ex-human?" Seiren nods her head. I never would have guessed. Then again she's as strong as an Aristocrat vampire.
"That's right. I was born and raised with my dear Yoruno. We were only taught to believe that we would be food for Kaname-sama. We were still children when we were brought forth to him. He didn't devour us, he tried to bring us to safety in Cross Academy, but. . ." Seiren clenches her hands on her lap. I reach over and put my hand over one of them.
"Yoruno was completely brainwashed and wanted to be a sacrifice, so she fled. I tried to rescue my precious person, but she and I were captured by vampires and drained to death. I continued to struggle and was saved by Kaname-sama. He gave me two choices." I'm startled as I see her smile for the very first time.
"Die as a human who never lived. Or live on as a vampire with a future. I was captivated by the pureblood master and accepted to be turned. That is the day Hoshino died as well and Kaname-sama renamed me as Seiren to represent my rebirth." My heart pounds as I listen to her sad tale.
"I see. . . So that explains it. I guess vampires turned by a Kuran are a little different." I smile at her. "Well since Kaname-oniisama turned you, I guess that means we're family. Kuran blood flows through our veins." I grin at her.
"Family?"
"Yeah, that's right. We're family now. Aido, Aido-dono, Nurse Chiharu, my babies, you, and me. We're all family. And that's okay. You don't have to be related by blood to be family." Seiren comes closer and presses her forehead against mine.
"Family. . . Yes, I like the sound of that, Alondra-san. I will protect and love my family." I giggle a little and feel some relief in this darkness.
The sun. . .What's it like? I don't remember. . .Yuki, what is the sun?
Random Day Week 2:
"Alondra, are you up yet?" Aido questions me as he startles me awake. I rub my eyes and yawn.
"No, I had trouble sleeping. One of them was kicking around through most of the daylight so I didn't get much sleep." I tell Aido with a heavy yawn.
"I see. I'm sorry to hear that. Well at least eat something before going to-"
"Ah, Hanabusa-sama. . . Tsukiko-sama is here." Aido's blue eyes widen and his normally pale skin seems to become even more pale. I tilt my head confused.
"I-it's just her, right?" Aido questions as calmly as possible, but he looks really nervous. What, is she one of his former conquests?
"Yes sir." He seems to relax a little bit and nods his head.
"Who is that?" I finally question him. He gulps and looks at me.
"Uh, one of my seven older sisters." My own eyes widen and I don't know what to say. I guess I've never asked about Aido's entire family so I didn't know if he had siblings or not. I only knew his father and cousins Ruka and Kain. Now that I think about it, I haven't talked to Aido about himself at all. Maybe I dreaded hearing a lot of self-centered talk and bragging about his genius brain.
Maybe I can have a nice moment with Aido too like I had with Seiren last week. I learned a lot about her. She's totally different from the person I saw in the Academy. I'm glad I got to know these two.
"Do you need company, Aido?" I question him. He doesn't know what to do and then I see him blush. It makes me blush too and he just nods his head.
"Okay time for me to get ready." Aido steps out and leaves me to get ready.
~0~
"Ah, you've finally become a man. Congratulations, Hanabusa!" His sister Tsukiko tells him happily as she hugs him.
"Tsukiko-oneesama. . . I'm just guarding Alondra. We don't have that kind of relationship." Aido tells her. I look down on my stomach and rub it gently. I hear her make a confused sound. She wants to ask badly, but she doesn't do it since I'm there.
"A-Alondra-sama, I'm sorry for intruding like this. I just really wanted to check up on my little brother." She tells me nervously. I smile and nod my head.
"No, big deal. The Aido family is welcome anytime." I say with a smile. She looks at me surprised and I tilt my head confused. Aido whispers something to her and it puts her at ease.
I just shrug and try to walk normally to the kitchen. I'm sure Aido can finally talk with his big sister. Lucky him. I'm keeping him away from his family.
"If only he wasn't so stubborn then I would let him go. I mean I have Nurse Chiharu there now and Seiren. So I'm not alone?" I think unconvincingly. I guess it would be lonely. Aido is the only one used to treating me like I'm normal and not some "powerful" and "almighty" pureblood. Well there's Zero too, but our situation is rather complicated. No, it's not... the problem is from my end.
"Ah, I'm too sleepy to think too much." I sit on my swing chair and I realize I won't be able to get off of this myself. Oh well, I'll take a nap now.
~0~
"Alondra, Alondra, wake up." I startle awake and see Aido. I rub my eyes.
"Ah, I fell asleep again. Is your sister still here?" I question Aido as I put my hands down.
"No, she left a couple minutes ago. Why'd you leave?" He questions me confused. I smile apologetically at him.
"Well, I didn't want to be a bother. I mean vampires are still wary around me and treat me like other purebloods. Also there's the fact that their reputation is a bit tarnished after the incident five months ago." I tell Aido as he helps me up.
"You are not a bother. I finally convinced Tsukiko-oneesama that it's fine to treat you like family. Cause you know, you're not alone." Aido says almost unconsciously. When he thinks about what he said he turns bright red. I'd normally just make a wise crack, but I just end up crying since I'm so touched by his words.
"That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me, Aido." I manage to say before I start sobbing. Aido becomes frantic until he hugs me to try and comfort me. This hormone spike goes on for a couple minutes before I calm down.
"Neh, Aido, what's your family like?" I question him as he walks me back inside to sit down on the couch.
"Huh? What's with that all of a sudden?" He questions me suspiciously.
"Well we've been around each other for a long time and I realize we don't know anything about each other. So since we've both got free time, let's talk. Seiren has told me her story, so let's hear yours!" I say with confidence. Aido sits next to me.
"Let's see, well as I told you I'm the youngest of eight. I was the only son and I was the most expected child in my family for being a son. I've been spoiled by my family since I was born. It was also quite helpful that I was a genius and cute." I can't help but chuckle a little since it explains quite a lot about him. "As you know members of the Akatsuki and Souen families are relatives of mine. So there's that. I get along well with Kain and Ruka... Well sort of with Ruka."
"Yeah, both of you fighting for Kaname's attention." I say with a roll of my eyes.
"You know, I pretended to hate Kaname when I first met him since I didn't want to be like everyone else. Also in a way I was jealous that he was so beloved by everyone and he was far more special than I was. Too late I realized that I wanted to protect him and be his friend. You brought those memories back when I saw you interacting with Kaname during our academy days." Aido says with a slight laugh. I had listened intently to his story and it had me smiling the whole time.
"Huh, so we shared that part. Well, my dislike for Kaname was for a whole different reason. Except I didn't know what it was when I was human." I say as I sit back again.
"Why did you hate him?" I shake my head.
"I didn't hate him. I just didn't trust him. You see when I was still a vampire and living in hiding with Yuki when we were little I followed him to that mausoleum. He was speaking to the spirit of my real older brother. My real oniisama scared me and bit me while the Kaname we all knew just watched. After that I saw him differently. Now that I think back I guess he wanted me to be different from Yuki so he showed me his other face." I say pensively. I rub my belly.
"After that I was plagued by nightmares of that event during my ten years as a human. The only person who could calm me down was Zero. Eventually the nightmares went away when I remembered my past." I tell him with a soft smile. "I went so long being mean to Kaname-oniisama, and when I finally made up with him, he decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of the humans. Yet, I feel like he knows I learned to love him in the end as my brother once again."
"Its been a long road, but we're finally at peace."
"Yeah, we're at peace. Hopefully it stays like that for a long time." Aido tells me as I nod in agreement.
"Yep, I would like for my sons to live peacefully. I never want them to experience what I did. For sure, I will never abandon my sons. I'll be there for as long as they need me." I pour all my love into those words, hoping my sons can feel it. I want them to know that I will never do what my mother did. I was never truly at peace in the light how she wanted us to be. This is my world after all. The world of a bloodthirsty monster. . .
"Alondra, you still need to eat. How about you do that? Your sons ne-" I bite into his neck feeling my blood thirst act up again. Shit, I really need Zero's blood. These intervals of hunger are becoming shorter and shorter.
"I'm sorry, Aido! I lost it there!" I wipe his blood off my mouth and all he does is smile kindly at me.
"Don't worry about it. You can use me as a substitute while you wait for the blood you three really need." He tells me and that makes his blue eyes sad. I drop my head on to his shoulder.
"Aido, I'm really sorry I'm-" He interrupts my apology as he lifts my head and kisses my forehead. If I wasn't pregnant I would have ran in embarrassment but all I can do is blush and keep my gaze lowered.
"I know."
Random Day Week 3:
"Eh? What kind of cruel dream is this?" I think to myself as I look up to a familiar face. "If this is your idea for a prank, it's not funny, Ichiru."
"Ichiru? Wake up, Alondra it's me. . . Zero." My eyes widen as I look at him properly. I pull my blanket up and cover my head as tears spring up.
"What's with that?" He says as he tries to pull the thick blanket down.
"You're the worst! Making me wait so long without telling me if you were okay or not. This is for keeping my secret from you, isn't it?" I mumble under my blanket getting really warm under there.
"Stop mumbling, dummy. Take off the blanket I want to see your face. I went practically a month without seeing you and I'm really hungry." He tells me as he sounds closer than a moment ago. I pull the blanket down to just right under my chest and I reach up to his face. I'm definitely not dreaming, my dreams are never that nice.
"Okay, take my blood. I'm just as starved as you." I tell him sadly. He leans down to my neck and takes my blood. I had forgotten the feeling of his body and his lips on me. I listen to him drink my blood. He licks away the excess blood and I have to hold my voice back.
"Hey, don't react that way. It's going to give me the wrong message." He tells me as he comes back up to look up at me. I blush and look to the side.
"Will you please come back down so I can drink your blood?" I question him.
"You're not gonna exaggerate like before, right?" He questions me.
"No promises." I pull him back down and take our fill. Maybe a little less so he doesn't get suspicious." I pull back and just look at his face. I really missed him. I hadn't realized how much I had until I started looking at him.
"Welcome back, Zero." I say with a smile. He leans down and kisses me gently. I kiss him back and enjoy it for as long as possible until he starts to get handsy.
"No." He sighs and sits up.
"How long will I keep hearing that?" He questions me.
"Four more months. Don't be so impatient." I tell him with a nod of my head. He looks like he's pouting and I can't help but giggle a little.
"Gyah!" Oh man talk about a bad time to get excited boys! I rub my belly under my dress to try and get them to calm down.
"What's wrong?" Zero questions me concerned. I blush and shake my head.
"My leg fell asleep and I moved so yeah. That was uncomfortable." I lie to him. He sighs and leans down to kiss my forehead. I close my eyes as he does and open them when he pulls away.
"Zero, please don't hate me. I can't go through that again. I don't want to feel that pain again." I tell him as I look into those lilac-gray eyes that I love so much.
"I never hated you. I was just an idiot, but I'll never do that again. I will not walk away from you again." He tells me honestly. I smile content and feel the boys move again, but I do my best to keep calm. I will not let him go for as long as I can have him by my side.
"Good, I'm holding you to that." I move as best I can and make room for him on the bed. He sits next to me, I lean my head on his arm. He surprises me by putting his arm around me, so I'm closer to his heart. It is beating strong.
"How was your mission? Did it go well?" I question him after a while.
"Yeah, we handled it, but there was a miscommunication. A pureblood was involved. Looks like someone is done being quiet and is ready to start causing trouble." I frown, feeling the same annoyance as Zero.
"Probably someone that wants to rebuild their vampire servants again. I've been so worried that I had forgotten a lot of their servants were taken away from them." Of course they would want to rebuild. I hope Aido manages to figure out the cure Kaname was working on. To save those former humans.
"With this cure we could put an end to purebloods... but who knows if the non-purebloods wouldn't become the same once they realized they were the highest ranking. Then again there wouldn't be anyone to rule over if we also cure former humans." I feel a light tap to my cheek. Looks like I had lost myself in my thoughts as Zero tried to get my attention.
"Alondra, what's up? What are you thinking about?" I think it's time to be honest. I clench my hands.
"Zero, Aido found an old journal of Kaname's and it shows that he was working on a cure to end vampirism. I'm sure the original plan was to heal ex-humans, but purebloods also come from humans, so maybe they too could be turned human." I'm kind of scared to look at his face to see his reaction. "It's an incomplete formula, Aido says he will work on it though. I'm leaving that to him.
"I see, that would be useful for former humans and to settle down the purebloods if they think about causing trouble." My eyebrows raise in surprise as I look up at Zero. That was not what I was expecting him to say. Though, I'm not sure what I was expecting him to say.
"Um... yeah that's what I was thinking about as well. Um..." I'm afraid to ask about what he would do.
"Are you thinking about becoming human?" He asks me instead. I jump and then put a hand to my heart.
"I can't... that's right I can't become human. I promised Yuki's life within me would be used to revive Kaname and I can't do that as a human. Also... if we get rid of purebloods who's to say they can't come to be again and start the cycle all over again?" That suddenly just came to me. I can never become human if I want to maintain the peace. Geez, why do I have to play the hero?
"Alright, then I'll protect humanity along with you." I didn't think he could shock me anymore than he already has.
"Eh?"
"You're not getting rid of me that easily, Alondra." I get a sense of deja vu from that. But still it makes me happy. Maybe he will be able to accept these babies, right? I'm still too scared to find out.
"I wouldn't dream of it, Zero." I smile at him and just spend our time like this. Sometimes we talk and other times we just bask in the silence, enjoying just being together. All four of us.
Random Day Week 4:
"Oh gosh that feels so good." I sigh relaxed as a woman massages my aching feet. These two are making walking difficult for me the more they grow. I can't keep going like this. I'm gonna blow.
"I told you a nice massage would relax you, Alondra-sama." Nurse Chiharu tells me with a knowing smile.
"I'm sorry, I'm awkward around other people's touch." I tell her as I stare up at the ceiling. Nurse Chiharu pats my arm and I smile a bit. "Well I've gotten used to your touch." I say with a smile.
"That makes me happy, Alondra-sama. There should be no shame in being pampered as you prepare for your journey into motherhood." I smile and let myself be taken care of like this. I don't think I've been treated for a "spa day" before.
As I'm being taken care of, I feel myself fall asleep. It's been a difficult few days as the boys move around inside me. They're so lively, one of these days they're gonna break a rib I fear. I wonder if that's a thing. I hope not.
~0~
"Wow." I look in the mirror at Ichiru who is behind me as I adjust my tight dress. I notice where his eyes are directed and I blush.
"Don't look at my chest perv!" I yell as I turn to slap him. I don't think either of us expected that to actually make contact. I end up smirking because of that.
"Ow! That hurts!"
"Good, I was hoping it would! It's not my fault that even my breasts got swollen in this state!" I yell at him. I blush as Aido opens the door abruptly.
"Ah, s-sorry. . ." He says as he too looks down. I shield my chest and kick my shoe at his face.
"Don't look at my chest!" I yell out as I grab my blanket and wrap it around me. I sit on my bed and sulk. This is the same as when I developed a woman's body when I was fourteen...well fifteen. Since I was a year older than I was lead to believe.
Cross Academy: 2 years ago
"Man it is hot. Why don't we have a uniform for warm weather?!" I complain as I walk towards the Sun Dorm gates with Yuki. We catch up with Zero who comes out yawning from the Boys Sun Dorms.
"You'll have to ask the Headmaster about that. Good morning, Zero!" Yuki says kindly. I also greet him, but not as enthusiastically. I am very happy to see the boy I love though.
"Morning." He mumbles and takes his place to the left of me. I frown in annoyance and stop, watching them walk ahead as I take off my jacket and button up shirt. At this point I don't care. I'm left only in my unusually tight tank top. Did I gain weight?
"Alondra? What's the ho-" Yuki and Zero look back at the brunette in her black tank top, tying her jacket and shirt around her waist.
"Sorry, I was really hot." She tells them as they both stare at her with wide eyes. She shrugs at their reactions and walks past them towards the academy.
"H-hey, when did that happen? When did she get curvy like that?! When did her chest grow?!" Yuki questions shocked. Zero looks away embarrassed and doesn't respond. He casts a glance at Alondra's distancing figure. He shakes his head and just walks towards the school building.
"Eh?!"
"Is that Alondra Cross?!"
"Hell, she was cute before, now she's hot!"
Alondra walks on, ignoring everyone's comments, but feeling their gazes on her. She thinks it's their usual judgemental gazes since she's so mean to them and is always yelling at someone angrily.
"Hi, Cross-san!" Alondra keeps walking. "Cross-san? Alondra Cross-san!" She stops and looks at the guy that called her out.
"Oh sorry, I'm not used to people calling on me. What is it?" She questions the guy who turns bright red as she turns to face him.
"I-I see. I just, um wanted to tell-"
"Come on, you know how you hate to be late." Zero interrupts the boy as he keeps pushing her forward by the back of her head.
"Ah, hey I was having a conver-" Alondra looks to the clock as Zero glares back at the boy who was looking at her in a not so respectful way and she didn't even realize it.
"Wha! I don't wanna be late!" Alondra speed walks all the way to their classroom and sits down on the left side after Yuki takes her place in the middle.
"Morning, Yori!" Both girls greet their friend. She greets them back and then looks at Alondra.
"Are you sure you should be dressed like that? You're a prefect and have to set an example for everyone." Yori tells the brunette who pouts and glares at the chalkboard.
"I'd rather keep myself from having a heat stroke, thanks. I don't care what people think of the way I'm dressed right now." Alondra says as she leans down on the desk in front of her. Then she adjusts herself as the people in front of them take their seats.
"Alondra, when did puberty hit you?" Yuki whispers to her. Alondra's eye twitches and she glares over at Yuki.
"Since I was twelve. My body isn't done developing. What's this about anyway?" Alondra mumbles back to her as she rests her chin on her hand.
"Well, I think everyone is shocked to see the way puberty has hit you." Yuki whispers and Alondra blushes as she finally realizes people are looking at her body. She doesn't dare look behind her, not even when a male jacket goes over her head. She blushes deeper as she recognizes the scent on it.
"Thanks." She whispers as she removes it from over her head and keeps it over her shoulders. Although, she relaxes a little as she feels the glares of the Zero secret fan girls.

"You should keep my jacket on over your shoulders." Zero tells Alondra as they walk towards the Moon Dorm gates.
"Ah, I'd love to but it's still hot out. It was cooler inside thanks to the air conditioning, but we're going out in this hot weather for hours. I can't deal with the heat." Alondra tells him with a shrug. Zero sighs, wishing she'd understand that his concern is that showing too much skin around the vampires could become dangerous for her. He himself has had to look away from her very exposed neck and shoulders.
"Just for-"
"Oi, out of the way cattle! Stay in line!" Alondra yells out, interrupting Zero as she pushes past girls who yell at her but keep back where she pushed them to.
The trio quickly go to different spots of the crowded girls to keep them back as the gates open slowly. Their cheering intensifies as they see the beautiful and handsome students.
"So noisy. Please pass quickly." Alondra thinks to herself as she turns to face the Night Class that begins to walk down.
"Good morning prefe. . .cts. . ." Kaname says a little surprised as his eyes land on Alondra.
"Keep moving, people. Nothing to see here." She says with a roll of her eyes.
"Whoa, you're not flat at all." Alondra blushes brightly and kicks off her shoe and hits Aido in the face for his perverted comment. The girls yell at her and Alondra just wraps her arms around herself.
"Shut up, perv! It's hot out and I can't deal!" She yells out at him. She never thought things would get so weird in only a tank top.
Now:
"Man that takes me back." I tell myself with a grin.
"Yeah, I remember the pain of getting hit with a shoe on the face too!" Aido says as he cleans the last of his nosebleed. I just grin under the covers.
"You guys sure are noisy." I jump startled and peek out of the covers to see Zero had arrived. I really hope he hadn't heard me. That's so embarrassing. Oh snap I need to change.
"Could you guys get out?! I need to change. I don't like what I'm wearing right now!" I yell at the pair. The two guys that are doing strange things to my heart. They step out, they definitely glared at each other.
I grunt as I get out of bed. The dress I have on will have to wait. Instead I go to my closet and change into one of the poofy dresses in my collection. Gosh... I can't wait to get rid of them and wear my normal wardrobe. Though I might have picked up an affinity for cute dresses and skirts.
Seiren walks over to check on Alondra and pauses as she sees both Aido and Zero at her door. Annoyed with each other, but pretending like neither one exists. She tilts her head and then walls up to where they are.
"Hey, Seiren. Alondra is getting changed right now." Aido greets the gray haired woman. She nods and they watch the door open as Alondra struggles to exit from the room in her big dress.
"What is with these big poofy dresses?! Everyday too?!" Zero mentions annoyed.
"Leave me alone! I'm living a Victorian fantasy where I wear fancy dresses everyday!" She yells back at him. She will never tell him the truth... well at least not until the twins are born. "Let me do my thing!"
Aido sighs as he watches the pair argue back and forth. Even their arguing is so intimate and like they're in their own world. A world he could never belong in. It pains his heart to live with that idea. Eventually he hopes he can make those feelings go away.
