Author's note: Not only have I not written any Vampire Knight fics in, like, forever, this is my first time doing an AU fic so I don't know how exactly it's going to turn out. And just because I like to challenge myself, I'm doing it from different peoples' POVs for the first time. I don't own Vampire Knight and…well that's it…

SHIKI POV:

Not a day went by when I didn't think about her.

Rima, why did you leave me without saying anything? We were so close. Did I do something to you? No. If I had you would've told me…right?

I heard my name being called but I blocked it out. Nothing was as important as thinking about the past that was constantly hurting me.

"Shiki!" Ichijou shook me until I couldn't help but give him my utmost attention. But that didn't mean I had to do it kindly.

"What. Do. You. Want?" I snapped. I knew that since Rima had left a year ago I had been a complete asshole to everyone around me. I also knew I didn't give a crap.

"Jeez, you're so cranky," Ichijou mumbled. I snorted diversely. Did he now just notice this?

"Well, thanks so much for stating the obvious," I growled in return.

"I was going to tell you some news about…her, but if you don't care then I guess I'll just—" he began, but in less than half a second I had him by the throat, pinned up against the wall.

"What about her?" I demanded. Ichijou slowly removed my hand from his throat.

"I thought I should probably tell you that she's here," he said. "But you might want to know—"

I heard nothing of his warning. I could think of only one thing:

Rima's back! Rima's back! Rima's home! Rima can finally explain why she left!

Excitement like I'd never felt since she'd been gone filled me as i took off through the halls of the school. Adrenaline coursed through my veins like fire, raging inside of me. Then I saw her for the first time in over a year and my heart nearly stopped.

Her cerulean eyes didn't hold the same light I remembered and her skin was paler than it was in my memories. Rima looked so sick. The only thing that hadn't changed was the pigtails she wore her hair in.

"Rima?"

My voice came out in a choked whisper, but she heard me. Rima whipped around and looked me dead in the eye. She said nothing to me, only turned and walked away. I ran up to her and grabbed her arm. Rima's whole body flinched as if I struck her.

"Leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Just go away…Shiki," she said without any emotion and walked away.

All warmth left me. What happened to you, Rima? Why won't you tell me?

RIMA POV:

Oh, Senri, I'm sorry. You don't know how bad it kills me to do this to you! I screamed silently as I walked away. Tears filled my eyes as I walked away from the boy who had been my best friend since we were kids. I love you. That's why you can't ever know what happened.

I wondered what he would think of me if he knew what happened. He would hate me for sure. He would never talk to me again. I tugged nervously at my skirt and wrapped my arms around me, as if to stop myself from falling apart. I opened my bag and pulled out a piece of binder paper and a pencil and began to write.

Dear Shiki,

You could never know how painful it is for me to do this to you.

I would give ANYTHING not to.

But I love you and what happened to me would only rip us apart again and I just…don't want that.

So we really are better off this way.

Love,

Rima

I gave the paper a glance and ripped it up to shreds. It was shit. I pulled out a new paper and began to write again.

Shiki,

I'm sorry. Really I am. I know what I'm doing is hurting you, and I know I probably should have never come back. But I didn't have a choice.

America sucks.

If it makes you feel any better, hurting you hurts me ten times more so you aren't the only one in pain.

How long has it been? How much have I missed? Not that it matters.

Anyway, I don't think you'll like to know what happened, but you deserve to know since it might be

I stopped writing at that. It was horrible.

This time I was too lazy to rip the paper up, so I crumpled it up and threw it over the railing, not thinking about it, not wondering who would find it or what it would lead to.

I just counted the minutes till the day ended.

RING!!

Ah, the magic sound. Before anyone could catch up with me, I left the campus hurriedly and made my way home.

When I reached the small house, I fumbled with my keys until I found the right one. I opened the door and took a step in when I heard my mother yelling.

"Rima! Mikazuki keeps crying for you!" her mother sighed as she walked towards her daughter. As soon as the young baby girl saw Rima her face lit up and she clapped her small hands together.

"Hey there, Mikazuki," I said, taking the small child in my arms and cradling her. "How's my baby girl doing?"

The small baby smiled again as her cerulean eyes poured into mine, as if to say Mommy's home!

"It's funny how she looks just like you," my mother said softly.

"Thankfully," I said with a sigh. "If I had to stare into the face of her father every time I looked at her…"

I shook my head and kissed Mikazuki on the forehead. My precious baby girl.
