The sun was up and I woke up in someone's arms. I look to my right and I smile. Sleeping there was the man I came to love. I wonder if I will ever get my 'happy ending'. A few weeks ago I wouldn't even dream of having one but everything it's different now. Although I know this was just the calm before the storm. In the evening, the guardians, Kaname and the headmaster would commence a meeting where I will spill my darkest secret. The whole night class requested that they would need to be allowed to attend the meeting. My mind drifts back to last night, when my uncle attacked me. I guess they deserve an explanation. I start tracing my finger on Hanabusa's face. He knows my most important secret. Yet he's still here. I couldn't be happier about this situation, my only hope is that this will last forever.
-Flashback-
I finished telling my story to Hanabusa and he was looking at me carefully. There was an emotion in his eyes although I couldn't quite name it but it wasn't fear or disgust. For that I was grateful. He placed his hand on my cheek and directed my gaze in his eyes. I wanted to avert my eyes. I was ashamed of my crime. It was against the one and only ideal that this academy stands for. Peace. However he didn't let me look away. His gaze was intense, I felt like it was swallowing me whole and the power it held over me wouldn't allow me to turn away. He brought his lips closer to mine and pulled me in a gentle kiss. His kiss was getting less innocent and more savage, I kissed him back with the same passion.
Our lips parted and he stood motionless, looking at me. His eyes were blood red and I offered my neck to him. He looked at me for a second then his mouth went towards the nape of my neck. I submitted myself to the pleasure. No words were needed, the warmth of our bodies pressed tight against each other, did all the talking.
-End of flashback-
A smile crept on my face as I remember the events of last night. I look around the room and I could barely recognise my own dorm room. The floor was covered by our clothes. A cold chill ran up my spine and I snuggled closer to Hanabusa. I could get out of bed and put some clothes on but I didn't want to leave his arms. Just a little bit longer, I want to live this picture perfect moment. I know as soon I leave the comfort of these arms, reality will come crashing down. I feel someone caressing my back and I look up to see that Hanabusa was awake. He gave me a heart warming smile. Not the fake smile he would give to all his fan-girls.
"Morning." His voice sounded tired.
"Good morning." I smiled back at him and went in for a kiss. Hanabusa gave into the kiss and it turned into a make out session.
~Later that day~
I looked in the mirror making sure my uniform is in place and everything looks perfect. After I made a few last touches to it, I started preparing myself for the meeting. I didn't know how the headmaster and the night class will react but I hope it wouldn't be bad enough for me to have to leave the academy. I grew too attached to this place and a certain blue eyed vampire.
I left my room and I was making my way to the office. After a few hallways, I was standing in front of it so I took a few breaths in and knocked.
"Enter." The chairman sounded so formal and serious. I didn't like this one bit.
I made my way inside and everyone's eyes were on me. I guess I was the last to come. I looked around and see Hanabusa giving me a reassuring smile. I'm glad I had the chance to tell him before the others. At least I know this won't take him by surprise.
"Saya, you know why you're here. We all want to hear your story and the secret you kept hidden from us." The headmaster informed me. Or rather subtly gave me an order to tell my story.
"I know, headmaster. I am an angel. Or rather a fallen one as I've committed the biggest crime of my kind which resulted in exile." I sighed. Repeating my story over and over isn't something I'm used to.
"And what would be that crime?" Yuuki made her presence known by asking. Next to her, Zero was staring at me, patiently waiting for an answer.
"I fell in love with a human... And granted him immortality." I looked down at the ground, waiting for their reactions.
"How's that a crime? I mean we have vampires and they could fall for a human if they chose to, isn't that right?" Yuuki asked confused.
"That might be the case but what you don't realise is that I'm really old. I've lost count of my age and honestly I don't care. Back then, when I was exiled there were no such things as vampires. I turned my lover into a vampire by giving him immortality. I didn't know that was the price. That slay little thing didn't inform me of everything."
I heard gasps around me. They were whispering and mumbling among themselves.
"Why would you create such damned things? And how's that possible? Aren't you an angel?" Zero asked. I guess I expected that from him. His hatred of vampires is evident.
"I made a deal with the devil. With his help I turned my lover into a vampire."
"Saya... What was the name of your lover?" The headmaster spoke after being quiet for a while.
"Kuran Kaname." I heard shocked gasps from the night class. "That's right. Your Dorm President's ancestor. The first of the Kuran Line.
"I'm assuming the devil asked you for something in return, right?" Kaname asked. He's sharp.
"You're right. However instead of telling you, I'll show you."
"You can do that?" Yuuki asked.
"Yes, I can show you memories of my life. Just close your eyes and you'll be able to see." Everyone closed their eyes.
-Flashback-
"Would you like to live for an eternity?" A young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes asked the man sitting next to her on the branch of a tree.
"If I'm with you, I would. I want to love you forever, Saya." He took a strand of her hair in his hand and kissed it.
"Oh Kaname, I love you so much." She hugged him tightly.
"I love you too, Saya. Forever and always." He returned her hug.
-The memory changes-
" From all things, I didn't expect this. What is an angel such as you doing by summoning the devil?" He let out an evil laugh. Saya had fear in her eyes but she was confident that he could help her be with the love of her life forever.
"I need to know how to make a human immortal. I need it a lot. Please, help me." She begged him.
"Heh, the little angel has a human lover. This is interesting. I suppose there is a way. Are you willing to pay the price?"
"What kind of price?" The woman stared naively at the devil, waiting patiently for an answer.
"I require one thousand souls. You, my dear angel, will go and collect some innocent souls for me in exchange of what you're asking of me."
Saya's eyes widened and she couldn't believe her ears. Kill? Her? She never took a life. She could never do that. It's impossible. But my love stands on the line. I don't know, what should I do?
