"Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be normal, but if you were, how would you protect them?"
Asuka smiled brightly when Haruka said those few words. Who would have thought that such a small sentiment could cause such happiness to swell in one's being? Asuka could feel the muscles in her cheek begin to hurt as she continued to smile. Haruka was not mad at her, and even considered her a friend. She could almost feel the tears pricking at the corners of her eyes but she quickly rubbed them away with the back of her sleeve. As she opened her mouth to say something, Asuka's attention was brought away from the red-head and directed towards the Rosenkruez pure-blood who seemed to be holding a young girl in his arms.
"Ah, good morning Rosenkruez, is everything alright?" she questioned as she felt the bed shift beside her. She glanced at Haruka as the girl spoke, saying she'll be in her dorm room and that she was leaving. The goodbye in the back of her throat caused Asuka to visibly flinch. Did she miss something? Haruka had stated it in such a calm voice that it was something that startled Asuka. She knew the girl to be more fiery than that. Was it because of the girl Zenith was holding? That couldn't be it, could it? She shook the thoughts from her head as she directed her attention towards the two in front of her. There was something odd, or rather, an odd scent lingering in the room. She knew that the Rosenkruez pure-blood emitted a scent that smelled of roses, and that only intensified when he was bleeding. At the current moment, the scent wasn't as strong as the blood, but it felt as if there were two Zenith's currently present. She took a deep breath before forcing a smile onto her lips.
"It looks like you have everything under control Rosenkruez. I will leave you to it," she stated as she rose from the bed. Although she wasn't sure if that was a particularly wise idea. After all, he was a vampire and she knew nothing of this girl he was currently holding. Was she one too? With a heavier sigh than intended, Asuka took off after Haruka. She still needed to talk with the girl. Even though the fact that they were now friends, she still needed to reconcile the mess she made. Not to mention she wanted Haruka to finish what she was about to say before the Rosenkruez appeared with the strange girl. Speaking of which, she'd ask the headmaster later if they were receiving a new student. This was the first she was hearing of it, and usually she liked to be up to par with new students, especially if they were vampires.
She made it to her shared dorm room and knocked on the door. She frowned as she tried opening it but found it locked. Strange, she never locked the door before. Asuka sighed as she reached for something to pick the lock with. Her card would have to do for now. Maybe Haruka locked herself out too? Whatever the reason, the expected click signaled Asuka was now able to enter her room. She glanced around the empty space and sighed. Haruka's scent echoed throughout the room, so she was here. Asuka glanced around and noticed an open window. Snow perched himself on top of the window seal and stared at her. His blue eyes blinked before his master, a strange glint covering them in the process.
"Snow, have you seen Haruka?" she questioned the Avian bird. He merely shook his head. A one-sided answer at most. It seemed she was sighing a lot as she felt her shoulders shift once more. Well, she could always follow after the faint scent Haruka left behind. It was odd, it was strong, but fading fast. She must have water on her. It was the only way to deter a scent, especially one as keen as a vampires. She glanced out the window Snow was still perched on and smiled at the bird. "You know the rules Snow," she spoke as she jumped from the window. She landed gracefully and took off in a light jog. She could still faintly gather Haruka's scent and as she followed it, it lead her to a rather peculiar spot. There, in a small clearing, was a rather small hole in the school wall. Huh, that's odd, she thought as she noticed Haruka's scent going through it.
As she continued to follow, she found herself away from the Academy. This did not bode well in Asuka's mind. If there was such an opening in the wall, who knows what and who might have come through. She'd have to find a way to seal it up again, or have the Headmaster take a look at it. Surely he had to know about it. Even if he did or didn't, it was still a dangerous thing should someone discover it (minus Haruka.). It didn't take Asuka long to find Haruka, and as soon as she did, she made sure to make her presence known as to not startle the girl.
"You've traveled a far distance away from the school Yamazaki," she stated. Why she was leaving this far, Asuka did not know. But it was best if they returned back to the academy soon. Who knows what could be lingering about in these parts?
