"He is making you transfer to the night class. This is all because you don't want to give up being a hunter. He was one he should know it's not something you can just stop. " Zero was ranting about the news. Yuki seems happy about it though. "You didn't see the way he looked at me. He has not looked at me like that since my mom died. That look is something I missed. Tomorrow is the anniversary of her death." I said known that had a roll in it. Dad tends to push me away the most on this day. Yageri would take me out and talk to me. He knew my mother well enough to say she would be furious at my father. Yageri also loved her more than a friend. "Iris come with me a moment." I look up to see Yageri. He had that demanding look. I followed him to the stables. His back was facing me. I could tell what he was about to say he didn't want to. "Iris I tried talking to him getting you out. Your father is slowly going mad with grief. You need to be careful in there ok. I don't want to see her only child get hurt. Elizabeth loved you and that idiot to much." He turned to face me tears in his eye. My body moved on its own rushing into his arms. "I will be ok Toga I promise you. I know he is not himself he hasn't been since that day. What do you expect he lost the love of his life left to raise a kid that looks like her. I never once blamed him because I understand him. But what I don't understand is why you look at me with such loneliness." I said only to have him hold me tightly. "I see her when I look at you Iris. You have no idea how many times I have almost called you her name. " I pull away looking up at him. This has happened so many times before. My hand resting gently on his cheek, us moving closer so our lips could meet. "Iris~" but then something always gets in the way. His expression softens kissing my head. "Go I'll be ok" he said I walk off to my dorm to find the night class packing my stuff. "Ummm...." I said only to be tackled by Takuma. "Iris!" Oh god help me! "Takuma your crushing her" Rima said emotionless. He pulled away looking at me his normal jolly self. "Listen Iris I know you don't like vampires. I also understand why your mother was very kind even to us. We never thought something so tragic would happen to her nor was it right. We used to be friends can we start over please." It's true Takuma and I have been friends till my mother died. Then Zero's words came to mind. 'You have a mouth on you that can hurt too.' I sigh looking at him and the others. "I am sorry for the things I said. I want you to know it was not my intention to hurt you. I know not all vampires are like that. I was just hurt by what happened." Akatsuki ruffle my hair "we all know thats why we never held it against you." He had his usual friendly manor. "He is right Iris none of us are mad at you. You were in pain thats what drove you." I see Kaname walk up his hand on my shoulder. It still doesn't mean I don't feel guilty for all the things I said. I thought to myself nodding. "If you guys are ok with starting over, then its ok with me aswell." I said feeling a little better.
