Disclaimer: No… not mine :( but Harumi's mine… all mine
Excuse me, too busy, oh writing your tragedy…
…So let go, let go, jump in.
Oh well, whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

"Harumi, will you stop by my room for a while?"
The moon shone down on two figures walking toward the grand building standing in front of them, fingers intertwined. Not one of the two dared to interrupt the calming silence as they enjoyed each others company, and the warmth they shared through their hands. That is until, a certain silver-haired teen decided to spoil their moment.
"Tsukino-san, the headmaster wants to see you." He took his time looking at her. The uniform suits her well, hugging her figure just right. Under the moon's glow, she was breathtaking. He felt a pang of pain as he noticed her hands intertwined with his. He looked at the person holding her hand noticing he was glaring at him. Kuran Kaname was glaring at him, not something new but it was happening more often. It was because of Harumi but he decided to ignore him, like always. Jealousy was filling up his system as he continued to glare at their intertwined hands, wishing that she'd just let go. 'Please, just… let go'
"Ah... oh... I almost forgot. I'm sorry." She said as she, fortunately for Zero, let go of Kaname's hand.
"Kaname, I'm sorry but I have to go. Um, can I just come by your room after this?" Her smile was faint. Deep inside she felt, well, a tad bit disappointed.
"Okay, but I do hope you won't take too long." He said, smiling at her then started walking towards the moon dorms.
"I hope too as well…" she whispered to herself. Damn, she wanted to be with him so badly but this had to be done.
Zero continued to gaze at the strawberry blonde-haired girl's back as she watched Kaname walk away from them towards the moon dorms. It was times like this when he just wanted to ask her why she was so obsessed with that conniving pureblood and so oblivious to his growing attraction to her.
Their trip to the chairman's office was a long and silent one.
"Ah, miss Tsukino! It's a pleasure to finally meet you!" the Chairman, Kaien Cross happily exclaimed as Harumi and Zero entered his office. Yuuki was also there leaning on the chairman's huge desk, looking a bit embarrassed at the chairman's sudden outburst. He was like this to everyone.
"Oh." She was a bit surprised at the chairman's cheerfulness but smiled nonetheless. "The pleasure's all mine, Cross-san."
"Oh please, call me father!" He said with a big smile on his face. This caused Zero to roll his eyes and Yuuki to sweatdrop. Harumi just smiled at him innocently before saying "No thanks" as sweetly as she can. He was incredibly depressed at her rejection but they better get back to business.
"Take a seat. Now Harumi-chan, I suppose you already know the rules here?"
"Of course I do, Cross-san." she said as she sat down on the chair in front of desk.
"And how does your new night class uniform fit you?"
"Perfectly, thank you."
"Here are the blood tablets, you'll be needing it." He said before tossing a small tin box which she caught almost effortlessly. At a closer inspection it had intricate rose engravings and small blue sapphire stones in the middle of each rose. "Just for you"
"Well, I've been drinking this since... well... before... So I guess I'm used to it." She opened the box revealing the blood tablets and she stared at it with disdain then closed it again. "But thank you, I love it." She said, referring to the box.
'It matches perfectly with her eyes...' Zero thought, while observing their conversation.
"Oh well, I guess that's all, Harumi-Chan. Have a nice evening."
"Yuuki, Zero, escort her back to the moon dorms, she might get lost on the way there."
"I won't-" but she was interrupted by the silver-haired teen standing near the door, just about to go out.
"Count me out..." he mumbled before walking out leaving a slightly disappointed Harumi.
"I'll do it then, I hope I'll get to know you better, Harumi-san."
"Yuuki, I already told you that there's no need for formalities, right?" Harumi said, facing the brown eyed girl beside her. Yuuki responded with a nod.
"I'll do it then, I hope I'll get to know you better, Harumi-san."
"Yuuki, I already told you that there's no need for formalities, right?" Harumi said, facing the brown eyed girl beside her. Yuuki responded with a nod.
She took a step closer to the door when she was interrupted once again by the chairman. She didn't face him because she knew exactly what he was about to say.
"Oh Harumi... I'm sorry about your loss..." If only she was facing him, she would see the sadness in his eyes. She hid all her emotions choosing to just cry it out in her room later on.
She breathed deeply before placing on a huge smile, "Alright, let's go then Yuuki-chan!" she said cheerfully, hiding whatever she felt deep inside her.
She marched happily ahead Yuuki and the female prefect just stared at her worriedly. "Harumi-chan, that's not the right way!" she called out to the lost vampire.
"Oh, huh? Really? I could've sworn I passed this way earlier..." She said quite distressed but choosing to follow Yuuki instead, who was smiling at the electric blue-eyed vampire who apparently had no sense of direction.
"Now I'm worried that you'll get lost when you're alone..." Yuuki sighed.
"Don't worry Yuuki-chan! I'm gonna get used to this place sooner or later."
Harumi took the chance to look at Yuuki without all the screaming fangirls in the background. She looked so familiar... Like someone she knew from before. Then the memory hit her like a slap in the face.
She was playing in the garden behind their manor. The place was big and had various plants and flowers scattered around. She was on her way to the deepest part of the garden when a voice called out to her.
"Harumi-chan? Is that you?" the woman in front of her was very pretty. She had brownish red eyes and straight brown hair that seemed to flow with the wind.
"I'm Kuran Juri; I'm a friend of your parents." Yes, she had heard her parents talk about the Kuran but it was the first time she saw any of them.
She bowed and smiled at her in recognition.
"Good evening, Juri-san."
"You haven't met my son yet, have you? Kaname? Where are you?" she called looking around. Harumi also looked around in curiosity.
Then a boy her age appeared beside his mother. He looked a lot like his mother. He was a very handsome boy indeed specially when he smiles.
"Good evening, I'm Kuran Kaname." he bowed and took her hand and kissed it.
She was taken aback but smiled nonetheless. "I'm Tsukino Harumi. It's a pleasure to meet you, Kaname-kun."
Juri smiled at the two children. She knew that they were going to get along just fine.
"Harumi-chan, I'm going to leave Kaname with you for a while. Would that be okay?" she asked.
Harumi nodded in response, having no problem with it. She could show him her favorite flower; her mother told her that that particular flower grew only in their garden.
"Good, now you two should get to know each other. I'll be back." She said to the both of them before going back to the manor.
'Kuran Juri-san...' she thought as she continued looking at the girl beside her.
"Yuuki, you're really pretty." this made Yuuki blush.
"You're way prettier than me, Harumi-san! You're beautiful, really." she said almost stuttering. To be complimented by someone leagues away from her really flattered her.
"Thank you, Yuuki. But you really are pretty... Like someone I once knew, and kind like her as well." she said smiling at the other girl.
"Uh. Thank you, Harumi." Yuuki said, smiling.
The both of them were engrossed in small talk that they barely realized that they were already in front of the moon dorms.
"Well, here we are. I have to go patrolling now, Harumi-san!" Yuuki said smiling at Harumi. She liked her, and Harumi definitely liked her back.
"Goodbye, Yuuki-chan! Take care!" She waved her hands at the now retreating girl.
After seeing Yuuki off, she went inside the moon dorm. The lights were dim, seeing that most of the vampires were in their rooms, sleeping or doing whatever business they had. A lone figure was leaning at the very top of the stairs. His eyes were watching her every move. She looked up to meet that person's eyes, electric blue staring at mahogany red. Even in the dimness of the room, both their eyes seemed to vibrantly glow showing how inhuman they are despite their outside appearance.
"Thank you for waiting for me, Kaname-kun." she said, her eyes still staring intently at his while slowly ascending where he was.
"I had nothing better to do." he said while looking away at nothing in particular.
She had finally reached him atop of the stairs and reached out to cradle his face. She made him look at her. Her other hand found its way to his neck bringing his face closer to hers. She stared right into his eyes, taking in all his emotions, reminiscing all their childhood memories where all were so peaceful and when they just didn't give a damn to the things happening around them. When had they become so broken, stripped off all their childhood innocence?
Her vampire heart felt heavy, making it hard to breathe. All the emotions whirling inside her were too much for her to bear. She knew she was on the verge of breaking down and he knew it as well.
Kaname felt her vulnerability. After all these years he would have thought that she'd grow up as cold-hearted as he was but she was still like the child he once knew and loved. Or perhaps she tried to suppress all her emotions but ended up hurting herself more. He had to protect her.
He wrapped his arms around her, as she buried her face to his chest. She fought so hard to be strong yet his presence broke all her walls. She hated it and loved it at the same time.
"Let go, Harumi… Let it all go…" he whispered, stroking her soft hair.
The walls she tried so hard to build around her came crashing down.
I'll stop with that for now. I'm gonna start ranting now…
Oh man, I'm sorry this took soooooooooooo long. :( I was busy despite the fact that it's our summer vacation. And my sister won't let me use the computer. I swear she is such a bum. 8-| I was sorta distracted too… I mean, would you believe me if I said that I had 2 Shaman King Oneshots (RenxOC), 2 Naruto Oneshots (ItachixOC), a Charming Junkie oneshot (TsutsumixOC), an Avalon Code chapter (TiaxValdo), and a Harvest Moon chapter (AngelaxChase) all halfway done? And a lot more ideas for oneshots… I can't seem to finish them, but I'll try harder. I'll probably post them all at the same time. ONE TIME BIG TIME, BABY!
I wrote most of it in my iPod touch. I'm sorry for the suckiness… :|
And my OC sorta looks like this: http :/ / iamowezam .deviantart .com /art /Time-for-Something-New-163606785
Just remove the spaces. I'll also add the link in my profile. Yes, I drew that, I'm sorry for the suckiness… and she's blonde there… strawberry blonde is confusing -_-

My rant is over!
