"Okay ... Oh I almost forgot, good morning Hinata, good morning Uma. I guess we are going to learn about fairies."
Uma paused in her hasty sorting of the papers, looking up at Letty. She stared at the girl for a few moments, before turning back to the papers with a small grimace.
"Good morning, Letty," she mumbled, straightening one of the stacks that she had succeeded in finishing. She dropped it into the drawer of the filing cabinet nearby that was labeled with 'Vampire'. She took the stack that Letty had put together and placed it in along with her stack, before shutting the drawer.
"Good Morning." Miyuu's voice slipped through her frazzled, nervous state of mind, and she turned to face the small girl while gently biting down on her lower lip.
It was then that Xanther chose to enter Classroom A-2, his arm over his face. "Sorry for my horrible appearance today." Uma straightened away from the filing cabinet and, with a small smile, she crossed the room and to his side. "Xaney," she sang, going on her toes and grabbing his arm. She tugged on it a little before using just a bit more of her strength, a small, tiny piece from her vampire side, to pull it down. [color=]"You look fine, so stop being mean to yourself," she said with a smile, her emerald eyes sparkling in the light that streamed through the windows.
"Eh, people skills...? Meh. A-and honestly! Stop calling me that! Seriously, that was way back in elementary school or something, we're not kids anymore!"
Uma released Xanther's arm and dropped to the flats of her feet, turning to face Hinata and feeling tears threatening. "Bu-But Hinata ..." She sniffled a little, rounding away from him.
"W-what's your problem! Jeez, next time you do that I'll probably really fall back- Next time pay attention, moron." He was obviously referring to when she had cut her finger, and she looked down for a moment before turning back to face him.
"F-fairies....?" Hinata asked, slowly though, "S-seriously? Fairies? You're kidding right? You can't seriously be agreeing to that? Man... where's the other guys in this! I can't be the only male to learn about some fluttering females!" He complained.
"You should stop being a big jerk, Hinata. You've been really mean to me lately and it's really starting to bother me ..." she said softly, her voice almost a whisper at the end. She moved over to her bag, pushing past Hinata, her emotions getting the better of her as she shoved him, and she nearly sent him hurling into the wall. Instead, she grabbed his arm before he could lose his balance, steadied him, and then dug through her bag, her rosary heavy around her neck.
Why are you friends with that asshole? He's only going to keep on hurting you, so why do you even bother?
He's not that bad ... Honest ... Hinata's just going through a stage ...
What if it isn't just a stage, and he's going to continue acting like this towards you? You need to stand up for yourself and tell that prick off for once!
No, it's my fault that he acts this way ... I'm just annoying, that's all ... It's my fault he's so mean to me ...
You're hopeless ...
"You'll never believe what I caught on tape last night. And I mean it for real this time!"
Uma was jerked out of her inner argument, and shot up with her bottle of tomato juice in her hand. Of course, it would appear just to be water or something, due to the fact that the outer part of it was so dark it was incapable of being seen through.
"Guys, I swear I got a vampire on tape. Just wandering around like nobody's business!! It's the coolest thing ever! You're never gonna believe--oh wait. Yeah! You are! I have proof right here!"
It couldn't be ...
But if it is, I'll have to destroy the tape, or even worse, the camera.
No, I couldn't do that to Quincy. That's his camera. It's his baby, practically. He even named it!
Now is not the time to be acting this way. If he really caught you or me on that camera, you need to destroy the footage - no matter what it takes. I can't believe I was so clumsy as to let a mere human catch me on tape ...
But you don't know that it's us on that tape!
Nevertheless; if there is even a remote a possibility that that tape holds footage of a vampire, you need to get rid of it. We cannot afford for the human world to interact with the vampire world in such a matter as discovery of our race!
... I know ...
"Interesting, but unfortunately, we can't learn about violent creatures today because little Uma-san is afraid of them, so instead, we're learning about pretty little fairies!"That was what Uma entered back into the real world on. Hinata insulting her again. The words stung, and she stared at him for several long heartbeats, before crossing the room in two strides. With her free hand - for the other one held her water-bottle in it - she struck out, her hand cracking across his face in a perfect slap.
"... I don't care who you are ... But you don't have the right to continuously insult me every second that we're together ... I'm not afraid of them, and I have my own reasons for not wanting to discuss them. So before you walk around making accusations about people, maybe you should think over how your words are going to affect them," she said, her voice soft and oddly cold, an extremely out-of-the-ordinary thing for Uma to become.
She turned away and moved over to the camera. She knew that Quincy hated it when other people touched his most prized possession, but she needed to know what he had seen.
The footage was short and blurry, but it was painstakingly obvious to her what she was seeing.
He had begun recording at the end of her transformation into her inner self, her rosary having been removed by the human that she was defending from a Succubus that planned to prey upon him. Knee-length, snow-white hair, combined with blood-red, piercing eyes were seen of her, but on the bright side, it wasn't the Uma that her friends would recognize.
As soon as they watched this, she would destroy the footage, with hopefully no damage to Quincy's precious camera.
