Vampire Knight Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Strange Days ❯ Shadow of the Moon ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter 4- Shadow of the Moon

It's the second night of class and the girls are skipping again. Rin was in her room contemplating in whether she liked Eiji or Kain more. Vivi was wandering around somewhere, and Shadow was out by the lake on the dorm grounds.

“Vengeance you should be heading back to the dorm.” Kaname said walking up to her.

Shadow walked closer to the water and lay upon the grass looking up. “Why, I enjoy the site of the moon. I can feel its energy.”

“What are you saying?” Kaname asked walking towards Shadow cautiously.

“I was born when there was an eclipse,” she began, staring up at the stars. “It was a full solar eclipse, no sun in the sky at all. The bloodline I was born from worships the moon. I captured some of that eclipse's power.”

“So that's why you are out here among the moonlight and the tree's.” Kaname said sitting beside her.

Shadow nodded, “I'm sorry for my arrogance earlier this week.”

“Why do you apologize now? Kaname asked gazing up as well.

“Because I now know what's in your soul.” She replied unknowingly.

“I didn't think I had a soul.” He confessed with interest.

“Whether you like it or not you do, and it's a good one.” She smirked lightly. “Take care of it Kaname.” She stood up, patted Kaname on the shoulder with great respect and walked into the forest.

“Stay out of trouble Vengeance.” Kaname whispered after she was long gone. He smirked and was about to walk back to the dorm when he heard Vivi approaching him.

“Hello dorm president.” Vivi said glancing around. She bowed gracefully.

“Good evening Vivi,” He chuckled at the fact that she was uneasy about bowing. “Where are you going at a time like this, morning is almost on the horizon?”

“I was looking for Shadow. She still hasn't fixed what needed to be. I guess she forgot.” Vivi was also gazing up at the stars.

“She has already headed back to the dorm. I'll walk you there.” He offered her his arm.

“Oh…oh thank you.” She said gracefully, blushing slightly.

“Enrique was looking for you earlier.” Kaname said, opening the gate.

“Really… I guess I'll talk to him tomorrow” She slowly turned to their room door.

“Sleep well Vivi and please don't bother Vengeance, she's in an odd mood today.”

“Good night… uh I mean morning.^.^ ” Vivi said bowing again.

She opened the door to find Rin watching T.V. “Where have you been?” Rin asked looking away from the T.V.

Vivi glanced at the T.V. then back to Rin. “I was looking for Shadow-Kat and talking to Kaname.

Shadow walked in behind Vivi and smacked her over the head. “Don't say my full name, It bothers me.” She smirked evilly.

“Stop hitting me! You inconsiderate BITCH!” Vivi shouted turning towards Shadow.

“What are you going to do about it?” Shadow asked giving Vivi a blood-curdling stare.

“I'll kill you!” Vivi stated, trying her hardest to scare Shadow with her evil stare.

Shadow laughed, “Even if hell froze over you couldn't scare me.”

Vivi shrugged and turned back to the T.V. “Well it was worth a try.”

Shadow turned to Rin, “You tell her since you noticed first.”

Rin nodded knowingly, “Fine, I guess I will.”

Vivi looked at Rin with fear and curiosity, “What? O.O”

Shadow and Rin turned to each other then back to Vivi/ “Your tail is showing!” They said in unison laughing evilly.

Vivi grabbed her tail and ran into the bathroom whimpering. “You need to learn to control that better.” Shadow said emotionlessly.

“That's easier said than done you moron.” Vivi replied still whimpering.

“No, you don't try and you are just weak.” Shadow stated while she walked away agitated.

“Night!” Rin and Shadow said in unison. “And try to keep the meeping down, squeaky toy.” Shadow added dryly.

Vivi continued to whimper muttering “Don't call me that.”

Shadow and Rin crawled into bed. Elsewhere in the dorm Kain, Kaname and Enrique were still awake.

“Good evening Kaname-sama.” Kain said walking up to him. “How are you this evening?”

“Tired,” Kaname began, “and feeling off balance with a bit of uneasiness mixed in.”

“That's uh … interesting to know” Kain replied attempting to change the subject. “Have you seen Rin by any chance?”

“She's probably asleep, I suggest you see her tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” questioned Kain, “Why is that?”

“The sun is about to rise.” Kaname stated, pointing at the horizon.

Enrique had just walked out of the dorm when he noticed Kain and Kaname. “Hey you two, the sun is coming up.”

“We were just discussing that.” Kaname said dully. He turned to Kain, “I guess we better head to our rooms.”

Enrique nodded, “Your guess is correct Kaname-sama. Come on let's hurry so we all can get some sleep.”

“All right, talk to you later Kaname-sama” Kain said yawning.

“Bye…Kain-san” Kaname replied gritting his teeth.

The guys headed to their rooms for a good sleep.

**Two hours before the third night of class begins**

Vivi was in the shower, “Roses are reeedddd!!” she sang

“It's early, keep it down. Geez!” Rin said rubbing her eyes.

“I don't think she can hear you over the strangling cat she has in there with her.” Shadow commented glaring at the bathroom door.

Rin chuckled, “…true. Blood tablet?” She asked offering Shadow a tablet.

“THAT AIN'T…”Vivi shouted from the shower. “AHHHH!”

“Holy shit!” Shadow and Rin said in unison. “What is it?”

“Cover up. We're coming in.” Rin said breaking down the door.

“Sp…sp…spider!” Vivi stuttered pointing at the arachnid.

Shadow grabbed Vivi's flip flop off of the floor and smacked the spider. “Now spidey dead, happy now!” She fixed the door and walked out.

“Rin can you clean that up please?” Vivi asked shuddering. When Rin gave her a puzzled look she continued. “I don't like rotting dead things.” She said whimpering.

“Uh…okay?” Rin said wiping up the spider guts and disposing of them. She walked out of the bathroom confused. She saw Shadow dressed in baggy jeans instead of the uniform.

“I'm out of here, “ Shadow stated, “and don't expect me in class tonight.”

“Why?” Rin asked grabbing her own uniform.

“Where are you going? Vivi asked, now fully dried and dressed. “Come back here Shadow.”

“Not telling, and NO!” Shadow said slamming the door and leaving.

A couple minutes later, near the door of the dorm Shadow saw Enrique. “Hey Shadow, why aren't you going to class?” he asked.

“Because of certain reasons that I'm not willing to discuss with anyone at the moment.” She stated blatantly.

“Oh, I see…” He started all knowingly, “You like someone don't you?”

Shadow sat on the step. “It's more than like Enrique, it's more like desire. That's not my only problem though. There's someone in the class I'm not quite ready to face.”

“Someone in the night class?” He questioned sitting beside her. “How would you know that if you've been avoiding classes? And please don't tell me it's me you like. O.o”

“Tempting, but no.” Shadow said with a chuckle. “This person is of higher stature. I was told the person in the night class was attending here by the headmaster and I don't want to talk to her yet.”

“So…who is it?” Enrique asked, his curiosity getting the best of him.

“Do you remember what I said Enrique?” she asked giving him an irritated look.

“Yes I do,” he said nodding, “but …I still want to know. Please tell me.” He looked at her with puppy dog eyes.

“I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request.” She said standing up. When he gave her a puzzled look she became enraged. “It means NO!” she yelled. “Now FUCK OFF!” she strode off down the path towards the forest.

Vivi walked down the stairs towards Enrique. By the time she reached him Shadow was well out of sight. “Hey Enrique. Come on, we're gonna be late. What are you doing just standing alone out here?”

“Uh…just thinking…about crap.” He knew that Shadow would kill him if he told Vivi that he had been talking to her.

“Like what?” Vivi asked. When she didn't get an answer she didn't push. “Enrique…”she continued, “Have you seen Kain yet? Rin is looking for him.”

“He's probably already in class.” Enrique said glancing at his watch. “You should be heading there too. Go back to Rin and head to class. I must see to my duties as a guardian.” He kissed her hand and walked away into the darkness.

Vivi headed back to the room where Rin was just closing the door behind her. “Shall we head to class?” Vivi asked. Rin nodded slightly, she turned and headed towards the gate to the school. “Kain will be in class. Have you chosen between him and Eiji-san yet?”

Rin shook her head, “No, I have feelings for Kain…but I never thought I would meet someone before I ran off with Eiji-kun. It's so confusing, I don't know what to do.”

“Well as the concerned friend I am,” Vivi said with a smirk, “I do have a little advice for you. Come to class and let it all play out. If something happens, or if something inside you feels different around one of them then let it flow, and go for the one that makes this change occur. Just remember, they aren't going to wait forever.”

“Thanks Vivi that really helped.” Rin said with a smile. “Lets go to class.”

Rin and Vivi walked out to the gate. Enrique and Eiji were just opening it when they arrived. A huge fan-girl scream was heard once the gate was fully opened. Rin and Vivi followed slowly behind the rest of the night class. As they walked into the classroom they were amazed at the size of the room and the amount of vampires there actually were.

Rin glanced around the room, there were many vampires sitting in small groups scattered around the classroom. One group in particular caught her attention. It consisted of four vampires. One vampire had silver hair and a tattoo on his neck. Kain and Aido were also there. The last vampire was the one that caught her attention. She had shoulder length hair, chestnut brown with reddish streaks. She had a bracelet upon her wrist. Rin recognized the bracelet as the one she had made in grade two for her old friend Niome.

Becoming curious and excited Rin grabbed Vivi's arm and pulled it. She pointed at the girl sitting with Kain, “Vivi, look at that girl's wrist. Look at her bracelet. Do you recognize it?” Vivi shook her head. “It's the bracelet I made for Niome in grade school. Maybe that bitch killed Niome and stole her bracelet.” Rin ranted on growing angry.

“Her, kill Niome? Don't even think that.” Vivi said attempting to calm Rin down. “Come on Niome was a tough bitch, remember what she did to Mr. Patches. Like seriously Shadow was the only one to ever lay a hit on her when we all used to scrap.”

“Then you explain it then. Who is she and why does she have Niome's bracelet?” This girl was bothering Rin.

Vivi shook her head, “Have you ever thought that it might actually be Niome?”

“I never thought of that before. Do you think it really could be her?” Rin asked glancing at the girl. Vivi nodded.

Rin walked closer to the girl. “Weren't we supposed to have a couple new purebloods coming to the school Kain?” the girl asked sitting on the silver haired boy's lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist. She leaned against him and sighed.

“Well Niome…”Kain said glancing up noticing Rin and Vivi standing a couple rows behind them. “There are three new purebloods. They haven't come to class yet, although… two of them are coming up behind you.”

Niome stood up and turned around. Her jaw dropped when she noticed who it was. “Rin?” she whispered.

“Niome!?” Rin had a shocked look upon her face. “B…b…but how?” Rin ran up to Niome to give her a hug, before she reached her she was stopped dead by the gun in her face. The guy with the silver hair was standing behind Niome with a protective arm wrapped around her. He was the one holding the gun.

Niome finally snapped out of her shocked state, “Zero, put the bloody rose away!” She lowered Zero's arm. “She's my old friend from grade school. Calm down baby.” She stood up on her tiptoes and kissed his succulent lips.

Zero placed the bloody rose, the only gun that could hurt a vampire, back on his waist. “Sorry, bad habit. I don't trust vampires.”

Vivi looked confused, “Aren't you a vampire though?”

Zero nodded, “yes but not by choice. I was a vampire hunter first. When I was turned Mr. Cross took me in and made me a guardian along with Yuki. That's when I met Niome. We've been going out since we were twelve.”

“Twelve?” Rin asked, “How long have you been going here?”

“Well…” Niome began, sitting upon Zero's lap once again. “You remember when my freezing power first changed into destruction, the day I blew up Mr. Patches arm?” Vivi nodded pouting slightly. “Well that night my parents were fighting. Them fighting has always pissed me off. Well I got so mad that I accidentally blew up the bathroom and had the whole flooded. My fangs were showing so my mom panicked and sent me here.”

“…OK…then” Rin said slowly. “So who exactly is this? She asked pointing to Zero.

“This is Zero Kiyru. He's a guardian, a half-blood and my boyfriend.” Niome said with a smile, “and a possessive one at that. So I'm guessing the third pureblood is Shadow?” Vivi and Rin nodded, Zero shuddered slightly.

No one knew that Zero knew something about Shadow that the three girls did not. The headmaster had pulled him into the office the day before the girls arrived and warned him of the possible upcoming danger.

When the teacher began to speak Rin and Vivi sat down behind Niome and Zero.

**Time Passes**

“And that concluded our lesson for this evening.” The teacher said packing up.

“Rin, I'm going to go find Enrique, I'll be back to the room later.” Vivi said, slowly inching away from them.

“I'm in room 211 if you ever need me. Zero's usually there too cause I have two beds in my room. I used to have a roommate…”Niome said smirking evilly. “She mysteriously disappeared one day.”

“Well, I'm going off with Kain.” Rin said blushing slightly.

Kain took her hand and led Rin out of the foyer. They walked along the corridor for some time until he found an empty classroom. They talked about class and the weather. After a couple moments of silence Kain mastered the courage to ask her what had been eating at him since he first met Tin. “Rin…” he began, blushing slightly. “I've been contemplating in my head how to say this.” Rin could tell he was nervous. “Rin…would you…”

Kain's question was interrupted by Shadow bursting into the class. “Sorry to interrupt…” she saw their daces and smirked, “what exactly am I interrupting?”

“SHADOW!” Rin said her face turning bright red. “What's the big idea? What's so important that it couldn't wait until I came back to the room?” She was growing impatient. “And how did you find me?”

Shadow shook her head. “Never mind that. Vivi's changing!”

Rin had a shocked look on her face. Kain was confused. “How did this happen? She's been better at keeping it hidden from people.”

Shadow shook her head. “One of the other vampires said she was too girly for Enrique and that he deserved someone better. Hurry Rin, she'll kill her! Then we will be kicked out of this school.”

Rin ran towards the door. “Shadow go get Niome, she's in room 211. Depending on how far along Vivi is we might need her help.” Rin saw the look in Shadow's eyes that said she wasn't going near Niome's room. “Fine Shadow don't go get her. Kain can you please go get her. Just tell her we have a problem with Vivi. She should remember what I'm talking about.”

Rin didn't wait for his answer, her and Shadow ran towards the foyer. Kain walked out of the classroom utterly confused. He turned down the hall towards Niome's room. Hesitating slightly he banged on her and Zero's door. Shuffling was heard within the room. Niome opened the door. Seeing Kain she gave him a questioning look. “Rin said you have to come quick.” Kain began, “She said she needs your help with a problem with Vivi.”

Niome's eyes went wide, turning to Zero she grabbed her leather coat.” Zero bring a handful of blood tablets, we're going to need them, and I do mean a handful.” Zero nodded and did as he was asked. Niome put on her leather steel-toed riding boots, grabbed her silver knuckles (like brass knuckles but pure silver), and her riding gloves. “Where are they?” she asked, running out the door, Zero hot on her heels.

Kain, still confused slowly answered. “They headed towards the foyer.” Looking at the outfit Kain questioned Niome. “What exactly are you planning to do with those knuckles?”

Niome chuckled, “No time to explain, we're late, we're late, we're late.”

The three of them ran down the stairs towards the foyer.

AN- just so you know my character Niome is portrayed to the real me. I have all the gear she is wearing. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I certainly enjoyed writing this one and the next one.
