~Chapter 3: Valentines Ball~

As Valentines was approaching Cross Academy was having its annual Valentine Ball. No one was particularly looking forward to Valentines expect for Aido who was competing to get the most chocolates once again. Twilight gave Ichijo a look to tell him he is forbidden for taking any chocolate from anyone but her. All of the Night Class seemed consumed in conversation about the event and dreading the screaming from the fangirls. Not looking forward to the event at all Nadeshiko felt rather annoyed and excused herself as she headed towards the new room she was allocated upon enrolling in the Moon Dorms. Twilight looked at her friend with concerned eyes and followed after her. Hesitantly Twilight opened the door only to not find Nadeshiko in the room. Confused Twilight stood idle until she figured where Nadeshiko would be. Slowly Twilight crept towards the room of Ichijo and Shiki. Sure enough Nadeshiko was curled up on Shiki's bed and snuggled into one of his pillows. Twilight laughed and threw one of Ichijo's pillows at her. Nadeshiko abruptly sat up and moaned at Twilight throwing the pillow back.

"Nadeshiko you don't have to really participate in the event." Twilight calmly told her. Nadeshiko just buried her face deeper into the pillow and mumbled.

"That's not what I care about TwiTwi…" Nadeshiko's voice came muffled as Twilight just sighed. She knew what was meant by her friend but wasn't sure how to comfort her about it. Nadeshiko asked to be left alone and so Twilight took her leave. Noticing Shiki walking towards his room Twilight wasn't sure how to handle the situation so she just kept walking. Shiki reached the room and observed the curled up Nadeshiko. He went to go sit next to her but Nadeshiko abruptly sat up and freaked out seeing Shiki there.

Not sure how to act Nadeshiko just sat there looking at Shiki. Finally making her mind up Nadeshiko went to leave the room but Shiki stopped her by taking her arm and pulling her back onto the bed. Blushing Nadeshiko held the gaze with Shiki consumed by his beautiful crystal blue eyes. Suddenly Nadeshiko felt Shiki prompt himself on top of her making her blush deepen and through nerves gasped.

"S…Senri…"

Shiki just moved closer to her face enough for Nadeshiko to feel his breath on her neck. Preparing for him to bite her Nadeshiko felt a surprise when he didn't but instead whispered into her ear.
"Will you be my partner for the Valentines Ball?"

Nadeshiko felt her heart skip a beat, calming herself down Nadeshiko shyly replied with a "yes"

The next day approached faster than expected. Here was the dreaded day Valentine's Day. Most of the Night Class were still in bed sleeping the day away preparing for the screaming girls and the countless chocolates to be eaten. However, Nadeshiko stumbled out of bed allured by the smell of something burning Entering the kitchen Nadeshiko saw Twilight, Rima and Ruka trying to make handmade chocolates. Yawning Nadeshiko clicked her fingers and the smoke was gone. The three girls looked in awe at Nadeshiko who tiredly grabbed a bowl and ingredients.

"You three cook like Yuuki," Nadeshiko yawned again not noticing what she said. The other didn't really pick what she was saying up knowing she was still half asleep. Slowly mixing ingredients together Nadeshiko explained how to cook them properly. Twilight just laughed nervously as she wasn't sure if a sleepy Nadeshiko should be trusted. After explaining everything Nadeshiko poured the chocolate mixture into moulds in amazement the three girls decided to try again. Nadeshiko felt her eyes starting to feel heavy and soon after she was asleep leaning against the bench. Flour, mixture and all sorts of food went flying across the room making messes and equipment making loud crashes.

As the noise increased the rest of the Night Class woke up and headed to the kitchen where they all stood in disbelief at the mess made. Ichijo saw Twilight covered in chocolate mixture and begun to laugh.

"Ichijo!" Twilight growled which caused Ichijo to stop laughing immediately and instead his eyes darted to the floor.

"More so, is she alright?" Kain questioned pointing to Nadeshiko who was covered in a heap of ingredients and yet still was fast asleep. Twilight only noticed her and therefore volunteered to clean her up. Splashing cold water on Nadeshiko her eyes scrunched as she slowly opened them. Observing the place Nadeshiko just looked at her friend and fell back asleep. Annoyed Twilight ended up leaving Nadeshiko and went to get change for class.

Noon soon then approached as the screams of the fangirls could be heard. Nadeshiko just blocked her ears and went through the gates as Aido ran straight for his line of chocolates while the others didn't really take any. Nadeshiko unblocked her ears only to be confronted by a whole group of fanboys screaming her name with chocolates bouncing in the air. Not really wanting to take anything Nadeshiko just smiled sweetly at them and gave them a small wave informing them she was on a diet and couldn't possibly eat their chocolates but still thanked them anyway.

During class Nadeshiko started to feel rather light headed as the room felt like it was spinning around her. Trying to focus on her work she rubbed her eyes only to make the board seem blurred not long after she started to feel like her body was burning up as her body started to rock until a loud crash was heard. The class turned around to find Nadeshiko fainted on the floor. Twilight ran quickly over to her and felt Nadeshiko's forehead which was extremely hot to touch. Figuring what was going on and what needed to be done Twilight demanded that Nadeshiko be taken to the infirmary. Surprisingly Kaname was the one who volunteered to take her as Twilight stood behind thinking to herself that this is how Nadeshiko's pureblood body dealt with this.

Laying down on one of the beds at the infirmary the nurse confirmed Twilights suspicion that Nadeshiko's condition was indeed the period for a vampire. However purebloods don't have the whole cycle of it which causes them not to bleed instead each one is different as to what happens to them. Nadeshiko is confirmed to be one that gets ill during the time. Twilight looked over at her friend and sighed in relief that it wasn't anything too serious. Before long Ichijo came in and called Twilight back to class leaving Nadeshiko alone to rest. After class had ended Nadeshiko slowly started to wake up she opened her eyes adjusting to the light and noticed she was in the infirmary. Embarrassed she pulled the sheet off and called herself stupid. Though interrupting herself Nadeshiko heard gun shots ring through her ears and the smell of blood entered her nose. Alerted she ran outside to the scene only to find Shiki unconscious on the ground with server wounds caused by an anti-vampire weapon. Angered Nadeshiko fully knew who this was the work of it was Zero but instead of chasing after him she instead propped Shiki up and leaned him against her. Slowly she pulled back her clothes and placed Shiki's head against her neck. Whispering into his ear softly while making an opening wound to draw blood out that will ensure Shiki to bite.

"Senri, this blood is only for you. Because it's you drinking it I will surrender everything of mine to you. So please it has to be you who Senri so then please drink my blood."

The words echoed through Shiki's head as he felt his fangs pierce through soft tender flesh that was followed by a rich and sweet rush of blood. Losing any sense he had Shiki consumed the blood greedily. He heard a small gasp that contained his name followed by another string of words that seemed to not be completed.

Nadeshiko gasped lightly when Shiki's fangs left her neck, she felt her heart beating to make up for the lost blood but also the pounding sensation of how it made her feel while being bitten by the person she loves.

Shiki's wounds started to heal but he still was unconscious so Nadeshiko prompted herself up with Shiki leaning on her shoulder. The walk was tough carrying someone heavier than yourself as well as having a lot of your blood taken followed by being ill. Eventually Nadeshiko made her way through the main doors to the Moon Dorm. Ichijo and Twilight were in the lounge room and when seeing the two they both ran over immediately. Ichijo took Shiki straight away as Nadeshiko told him to take care of him. Twilight stared at her friend as she noticed her complexion was a lot whiter than usual. Nadeshiko felt a burst of pain in her stomach and felt dizzy but still managed to tell Twilight

"TwiTwi…I finally understand how you felt when you let Ichijo bite you." Twilight looked at her friend as she started to wobble and soon after fainted. Twilight quickly caught Nadeshiko and stroked her hair calling her a dummy for putting her life in danger like that.

Several hours later Nadeshiko slowly started to awaken and adjusting her eyes she saw Shiki sitting across the bed holding her hand. Blushing Nadeshiko shyly spoke

"Are you alright Senri?"

Shiki's eyes grew with concern as he was fine but was she?

"Dummy, course I am thanks to you…how about yourself?" he asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

Nadeshiko looked a bit surprised and then smiled warmly at Shiki

"I'm super duper okay Senri~!" she said in her most cheerful voice not wanting to alert him to her condition of still being a bit ill. Satisfied Shiki got up and went out the door but before leaving he asked one more question

"Are you still coming the ball?" Nadeshiko gave a smile and a strong "Yup!" in reply satisfying Shiki.

Midnight had come as the clock chimed loudly indicating the time and also the start of the Valentine Ball. Still feeling ill Nadeshiko stumbled her way in dressed in a long pink dress that flowed at the sides with heels that had small ribbons followed by ribbon that run up her legs to her thighs. Nadeshiko's long brown hair was semi tied back and a small tiara sat on top of her head. A lot of girls were jealous of Nadeshiko's attire but mostly however were astonished at the aura she gave off leaving them in a daze. It wasn't long until Shiki approached her and placed his hand in front of her indicating to dance. Smiling Nadeshiko placed her hand on top of his and followed him to the dance floor. Entering the dance floor the two started to dance together as Nadeshiko was moving in sync with the music leaving the spectators speechless. Shiki looked at Nadeshiko who started to smile and giggle from enjoyment which made him smile to himself. Soon the music came to a stop and the dance had finished Nadeshiko excused herself to go get some fresh air.

Breathing in the air Nadeshiko felt at ease that she was able to last during the dance as she enjoyed dancing with Shiki and having the close contact with him. She blushed slightly and went to go back to the ball when she suddenly felt a hand clasp around her mouth. A voice emerged that made Nadeshiko freeze the voice was Zero's and by the sounds of it he was losing all his senses.

"Shh, don't make this hard Nadeshiko." He cooed into her ear making her panic and started to struggle from Zero's grip. As she kept struggling she felt something protrude at her hip and then felt a surge of unbearable pain. Zero let off a shot to injure her so that she couldn't struggle anymore. Feeling the blood starting to pool underneath her Nadeshiko started to feel weak which is when she felt Zero's fang penetrate her skin without hesitation and rather deeply . Nadeshiko could hear Zero gulping her blood and then remembered Shiki biting her not wanting this to happen she gave it her last all and managed to push Zero off herself which made his fangs rip at her neck causing a greater amount of blood to pour out. Holding at her neck Nadeshiko struggled her way back to the Moon Dorms.

Twilight's ears ringed with the sound of a gunshot and then the smell of blood that belonged to Nadeshiko. Quickly Twilight bolted out the ball room to the garden finding Zero on the ground and reeked of Nadeshiko's blood. Pissed off Twilight stood on Zero's groin as she followed the scent of Nadeshiko's blood with Ichijo following straight behind her. As they both entered the doors to them Moon Dorm Ichijo covered his nose at the smell of blood. It was extremely rich and strong which caused Ichijo a problem that he'd possible lose his senses. Not risking it Twilight ordered him to stay here as she went on to find Nadeshiko. Following the blood trial Twilight was lead to the bathroom where she saw a pool of blood and Nadeshiko pretty pink dress soaked in blood she then heard the shower running and saw Nadeshiko sitting under the running water. Twilight saw that Nadeshiko was starting to get in a panic as it felt to her re-living her parent's death so she quickly held Nadeshiko in an embrace and soothed her to calm down.

After calming Nadeshiko down Twilight informed the Night Class that had gathered at the entrance of Nadeshiko's room what Zero had done. Everyone was disgusted that Zero caused such a vile act Twilight saw Shiki leave as she followed him. Shiki felt his blood boil and wanted to rip Zero into tiny shreds as Nadeshiko was now his not Zero. Stopping himself Shiki noticed what he had just said, he only drank her blood they weren't a couple yet but he still felt strongly about this. Twilight came up behind Shiki and asked him where he was going. Shiki turned around and with a cold jolting glare informed her

"I'm going to go kill Zero Kiryuu."
