Chapter 9
The Surprise
Narumi stood stock still with the level Es slowly advancing on her. She had to think of a plan, quick. But one that wouldn't get her cover blown.
She knew that if the person watching her was a student then they would know she was a guardian. Therefore know she would have fighting knowledge. She decided to go with that scenario as she slowly took out an anti-vampire weapon, being careful not to touch the blade, but making her hand shake to give off a scared aura.
Narumi waited for one of the vampires to get closer to her before tenderly putting the blade through it's heart and jumping back when ash appeared as if she didn't know that was meant to happen.
Ichijou had been hiding in the bushes watching Narumi for a few minutes now just like Kaname had asked. He was starting to feel sorry for her; she looked so scared and wasn't fighting the level Es off half as fast as she should have been. He watched her hopelessly trying to fend them off for another minute or two before he saw one of them sneak behind her, poised ready to kill.
He couldn't take it anymore, just sitting and watching, not helping, and she was going to get herself killed if he didn't intervene soon.
Narumi spun around as a noise came from the bushes behind her and a confident looking Ichijou stepped out before facing the level Es head on and taking them down one by one.
Narumi managed to be slightly surprised that it was Takuma Ichijou who was watching her as she casually slid her weapon into the heart of the level E stood behind her without so much as even thinking about it. She didn't know who she expected it to be, but that didn't matter now, what mattered was what to do with him.
She wasn't sure how she should react when he finished killing off the rest of the level Es, she supposed she should just keep the act up and pretend to be grateful.
After reducing the last vampire to dust, Ichijou turned around to see Narumi standing looking at him.
"Thank you," She said in a weak voice, "Thank you for saving my life."
"Oh... well... um... You're welcome..." He replied, not really being sure what he was meant to say.
"How did you fight them all off like that?" Narumi said, trying to push him. There was a possibility that he knew she was a vampire and this was the only way Narumi could think of to find out.
"Well, erm...I'm kind of a vampire..." said Ichijou
'Oh god, why the hell did just say that?! Shit! I am so stupid! What have I done?! I just saved her and now she's going to be even more scared than she was before! Crap...' He thought as he waited for her response.
She just sat there and looked at him for a few seconds before bursting into laughter. It sounded hysterical, yet the only reason she was laughing at him was because of his stupidity. Could he not sense that she was a vampire? Hell, she found it funny. She'd been in the day class for nearly three weeks now, and had passed him almost every day, not to mention she was a guardian. How could he not have sensed it? And how could he not have realised that being a guardian means that you know about vampires?
'Oh god,' he thought, 'why the hell is she laughing? Is she ok? What have I done?'
Normal people would have run, terrified, it would have scared the crap out of them. But no, she just sat there, laughing. He aura had completely changed, a few minutes ago she was like a scared five year old trying to fend off something she had no idea about but now she seemed like a confidence bomb, able to do anything and everything without having a care about the consequences.
When she finally regained her composure, she began to speak.
"So," she said, "You're a vampire... well that's interesting because...well." She started, with a smirk slowly spreading across her face, her voice gaining more confidence as she spoke, "Because so am I."
The shock on Ichijou's face was priceless. 'She's a vampire?' He thought, 'but...but...How can sh- actually, wait. It all makes sense. Of course she's a vampire. How could I be so dumb? She'd always make sure to stay in the shade when she helped Yuuki with guardian duties. She'd-' His train of thoughts was cut off when he saw the female vampire's eyes start to turn red out of the corner of his eye.
"Well, well, well," Narumi began with a playful tone, but also with an evil grin on her face. "It seems I'm a little thirsty. I would love to go hunt down a human and suck the life out of their worthless bodies. But as you're here, I'm sure you'll taste just as nice." She said with a giggle.
Narumi stood up in one swift movement and took a step towards Ichijou.
He was now starting to panic, he knew that if he didn't get out quick, she would rip his heart out and he would be dust in minutes.
'Oh,' he thought as an idea occurred to him. 'Maybe, just maybe if I ran t-' His thoughts were rudely interrupted again by Narumi speaking.
"Oh, don't think you can out-run me. I've already put a force field around the school grounds. I will sniff you out if needs be." She took a few steps closer. He could feel her breath on his neck. 'Oh no,' He thought.
Yeah, I know I said I'd have the other chapter up soon but I have been really busy (and I also kind of couldn't be bothered)
So, I'm sorry this one's short as well, but it's the best I could do in half an hour.
I promise I'll try to get some more done in the summer holidays. It's a week and two days until we break up so there won't be any more chapters until at least then (probably)
Also, if you read my other story (the mortal instruments one) I probably won't update that either until at least then.
