"Once something is in your grasp, will you let it go, or will you cling to it selfishly?"
Asuka returned Haruka's smile and waited for Zenith to appear. Sora made his presence known and Asuka found herself staring at the black-haired pure-blood, a frown marring her face in the process. There were a lot of words that were left unspoken between the two, and she wanted to speak with him. But where would she start? She didn't even know what she wanted to tell him, but somewhere deep inside, she knew. She offered a small smile to the pure-blood before glancing away and inwardly chuckling at his statement. Haruka's next sentence caused her to snort slightly. It was funny thinking about it. If Zenith was the Head of the vampire council now, then technically, Sora's statement held a bit of truth. He would be considered Lord or King in terms of the vampires, but to Asuka, he was still Rosenkreuz. No formalities would be given even if they were required of her to do so. As such, the white-haired vampire made his appearance and addressed them.
Asuka merely addressed him with a slight tilt of her head, not a full on nod, but it conveyed her message. As such, Haruka spoke first and told the white-haired male to follow them. Asuka stood at the back a bit, trying to contain the anger that was seething from every pore of her body, however; as trained to remain calm as she was, it did not show. Walking like this, it felt odd. There was an odd sensation about it and it felt rather nice. It was as if they were not momentarily enemies, and instead just four friends casually walking through the hallways. She could hear the murmur's of the other students, all gaping like suffocating fish towards both pure-bloods, and even a comment or two about Haruka. It caused a sad smile to cross her features. Could this have been them if Zenith hadn't betrayed them? She pushed the thought out of her mind, her face returning to it's earlier state as they approached the Headmaster's office. Sora led the way with Haruka coming in last.
Words. Only words were spoken between the Headmaster and Zenith. Asuka did not need to hear what was spoken, she already knew what was required of them. Why should it have to be repeated? Regardless, her attention drifted towards Sora. He seemed a bit more distant than usual and it caused her to frown. What is wrong with you, Sora, she thought before her attention was garnered by their dismissal. She was the first out of the room, followed by her companions. Haruka seemed to have snatched Zenith's class card, causing Asuka to shake her head slightly before said card was placed in her hands. She blinked at it, memorizing what was important before handing it back to the pure-blood it belonged to. She stared, trying to read his amber gaze, however; she found herself unable to. Sora's statement caused her to raise an eyebrow. That's right, I forgot, she thought. There were times when she'd catch the Tsukino pure-blood skipping his classes and reprimanding him for it. They were less than pleasant conversations back then, but then again, when were their colloquies ever pleasant?
"Haru-chan, Sora will take the first rounds," she began as she glanced at said pure-blood. "I doubt we are both needed at the moment. We could use this spare time to begin your training," she addressed the red-head, glancing at Sora in the process and nodding in his direction. Given who he was, she knew that Sora could handle a few students in the school on his own. Haruka was still untrained and that needed to be corrected as quickly as posssble. She was at risk thanks to her new position as prefect and it was something Asuka didn't want to take lightly. She couldn't lose her friend to something like this, especially given their situation as bodyguards in the process. She turned to Sora and sighed. She really needed to talk to him. She didn't understand why, but she needed to.
"You said Sachiko-chan was going to be training with us as well, we shall go meet her then. And Sora," she stated, grabbing Haruka's hand in the process and began dragging her away. A pregnant paused followed after the end of her statement. She wanted to speak with him now, but given their current situation, it wasn't the wisest thing to do. Instead, she settled for a dejected sigh and turned from him. "You and I have a lot to discuss," she finally stated before leaving with Haruka in tow. She remained silent for the time being, her mind shuffling through her current emotions. At the moment, the strongest one she felt was anger and confusion. Anger because of the deal she made in which felt like she signed her life away to protect the one responsible for the deaths of many people, including her cousin. Confusion, this was mainly felt because of Sora.
She couldn't understand why the pure-blood confused her so much as of late, and the lack of interaction between the two caused her to furrow her brows. She wasn't expecting a bright and bubbly reunion though. In fact, the way he was acting now seemed about right. There was nothing special going on here and there shouldn't be. She rubbed her head in frustration before turning to Haruka, offering a nervous laugh before sighing. In a matter of minutes, she finally reached the area where Sachiko was waiting for them. She offered a smile towards the black-haired girl and noticed the red-haired girl, the one from earlier, in her presence. She offered the red-haired girl a smile as well, however; it came out much warmer than she had intended to. Turning to Haruka, she grinned at the girl, coming off almost predatory with the way she grinned.
"Are you ready to have fun Haru-chan?"
