Lunaria had awoken the first time a knock had come to her door, but that didn't mean that she was actually awake. For all the good that people praise her for, they somehow overlooked how she was when she woke up in the morning. Slow and irritable were putting it nicely as she stood from the edge of the bed and walked to the tall window. Her hand resting (supporting her) on the wall next to it as her other shifted the curtain to the side. Giving her a rather impressive view of the property and gardens.

The way the land was lit with the fading suns hues of Gold, Orange, and red had her smiling softly to herself. Then her sister had to intrude. Rolling her eyes as she shook her head, Lunaria responded, not even attempting to keep the snark from her voice as she let the curtain drop back into the place.

With a deep breath, she partially stumbled to where her clothes were laid out from a few hours before. Sleep had not come easily to her. No, she had stayed away from hours watching the sun as it crawled across the sky, her mind drifting in and out of various thoughts. Both past and present. Including the visitations of two jerks that she didn't care to deal with again. Though it disturbed her that Lucifael had said that he had seven hundred years of gifts to make up for.

Shuddering as she clipped the garters to her thigh-high sheer stockings, before slipping her feet into her heel ankle-high boots. Then summoning the faint light in the room to her, she appeared behind Tician just as Ryu spoke. A smile on her lips as she let him take them to the school. A place she had some hope for. A place she could belong, hopefully, with little to no judgment, while being as normal as she could be.

Those were her thoughts when she entered the small office of the principals. His looks, aura, and motions made her feel as if she was standing on the edge of a very sharp blade. So, the moment that they were excused to get dressed she took it and did her best to not run from the room. There was something very familiar about that man, and not in a good way.

The silence between her sister and herself was telling. Giving Lunaria the clues that Tician didn't like this man much either. Another thing to complicate a situation that was already complex. Though she felt bad that Tician and even Ryu and Karlheinz had not corrected the boys when they labeled them as human witches. Then proceeded to stop her from correcting them herself. It was a lie! And it was not sitting with herself.

Once back in the office, Lunaria was glad that they were being shooed away to get to class. Already she could feel the other students start to arrive and go about whatever happened here at the school. So with a smile on her lips, Lunaria nodded goodbye to Tician and made her way to her first class of the day, according to the paper in her hand.

1st Period

Stepping into the classroom, Lunaria felt two aurae that were already familiar to her. But that didn't help her case of sudden nerves, no, instead it made them much much worse in her book. The moment the teacher saw her he waved her over and started to speak. His voice not even considered polite as he looked down at her. There was no mistaking the look he gave her, contempt, as he asked his questions.

"You speak multiple languages already right?"

She blinked and nodded her head yes as she replied, "Yes, sir!"

"But you do not know English at all? I will automatically assume you cannot even read it either. Sit next to someone so that you can be helped. I do not tolerate excuses and slacking in my class."

With a quick nod of her head, Lunaria bit the inside of her cheek so not to sigh aloud. Her mind was ranting and raving at this man, no vampire because he was just plain rude. Insulting her. She was far from perfect, she knew it, but because he was making assumptions it irked her.

Stopping briefly at the desk, she saw and felt both Reiji and Laito indicate where they expected her to sit. Narrowing her eyes for but a second as she flashed them a polite smile and slow shake of her head, Lunaria walked to between two young men in the front row. Both had varying shades of red hair. And the way they both looked shocked at her before the taller, thinner one smiled rakishly at her.

Soon enough he was leaning over to her and whispered, "You are either very brave or very stupid, Miss."

Tilting her head to the side she looked at him. Noting his purple eyes were shining with merriment. Only to tilt her head the other way when the other one spoke up, his voice very soft as his darker purple eyes looked at her in worry, "They are not happy about your choice. It is usually an unspoken rule that all new female students are theirs to pick and choose from, Miss Lunaria."

At the use of her name, Lunaria smiled softly at him before replying, "Either way I am damned right? And how am I supposed to know of this 'rule' as I am new? Besides, I do not care for those who think they are entitled. I am an independent person and not easily intimidated. If they think they can coerce me into what they want, well I will not be easy."

The first boy laughed softly and shook his head, causing his bright red hair to fall into his eyes. The other one just looked wide-eyed at her in shock and then amusement as he too smiled.

"Ah, how rude of us. I am Erik Anderson and this is my younger brother Damien. Welcome to this school," he said lifting a hand and waving it as he slid a book on his desk towards her. It was about that time that she tugged on the link she shared with her sister.

"I got blondie number two and Moody little silver," Tician told her, "And they are being arrogant dicks. Had a seat between them when I came to class, expecting me to sit between them."

Remaining silent for a few seconds before giving her own less than enthusiastic reply, "Oh. Well, considering their parentage it is to be expected Tici. I have Reiji and Laito for my first class..."

Afterward, the class went by quickly. The teacher had her standing up and reading aloud from one of the textbooks. She had stumbled a lot since she was not familiar with English. It didn't help that the teacher had made constant scathing retorts at her expense. But Erik and Damien did their best to sooth her afterward. Erik outright flirting without a care, which she ignored when he offered to tutor her.

The moment the bell rang, Lunaria was up and out the door. Breathing deeply as she felt the pressure fade from her skin. Sitting between two incubuses was not the best idea, but it helped lessen the weight of Laito's and Reiji's auras as they thrashed at her. More so after she made her declaration. It irked her that they thought to force her to them. A rude awakening would be heading their way in the near future if that was the tactics that all the Sakamaki's and Mukami's used.

2nd Period

The moment she entered the class and seeing not desk but long work tables with various beakers and vials on it, Lunaria had a sinking feeling in her gut. The teacher was pleasant, to say the least. Though she had been assigned her seat instead of getting to chose it. Of course, it was made that much more difficult and awkward since one of the two people at her table was in her last class, Laito.

A smirk firmly in place as he watched her walk toward the table. His jade green eyes practically glowing in dark glee and promise of retribution. While the other just stared at her with his soft gray eyes from under his black hair. The sight of Azusa made her relax just a little and smile at him. Already she had something in common with him. Immediately she was slammed, and hard, by Laito's displeasure. Making her want to twitch as she sat between them.

"Oh... hello... Lunaria..." Azusa said in his unique manner of speaking.

Nodding her head to him, Lunaria turned to look at Laito, who was watching her. Gaze contemplative and showing he was highly intelligent. And from what she had seen of his prior behavior, this was not a good thing.

"Laito," she said as she let her eyes focus on the teacher and the board they were writing on.

"Not going to give me a smile? How cruel of you little angel. And very rude... Especially after your declaration last class," he whispered, his breath fanning across her cheek and ear.

Still not looking at him as she responded back, in a whisper, "Why should I? If I hurt your feelings, ego or pride, I cannot say I am sorry. You practically thought to command me. Both Reiji and you. That won't work. I am used to Ryu, my parents, Lady Vantiri.... and you guys don't intimidate me. You want a proper response, then quit treating me like property."

The soft intake of air not just from Laito, but Azusa had Lunaria wondering if she had spoken too much. Though there was no lie in her words, as she was truly incapable of it. Didn't' mean that she would be prey for those arrogant boys. They'd been warned. What they wanted had to be earned.

"But in a sense, you are our property. The prophecy, whatever it is, dictates you belong to all eleven of us," was his reply.

The feel of Laito's hand on her arm, sliding sensuously down her arm to her leg had Lunaria stiffening as she jerked it from his touch. Only to grab the offensive appendage and set it on his own lap. The displeasure at her action was clear at how he threw his aura at her. Azusa seemed to be shrinking further in on himself, making Lunaria feel a bit bad. Leaning over she spoke to him softly.

"I am sorry if I am making you uncomfortable. But I stand by what was told you all."

At her words, Azusa looked at her with wide eyes in surprise as he nodded. Not saying a thing as a low chuckle came from Laito.

"You will at least make this fun. My only worry is your sister," he said.

It was about that time that said person tugged on their link again.

"I have Ruki and Red. How about you?" she asked, slightly distracted.

"I have Laito... again and...Azusa" was her reply.

When nothing was forthcoming afterward, Lunaria wondered if Tician was gonna do something stupid later in the day. Laito did have a legit reason for concern, Tician had a sister complex that was extreme. Scary even. But the boys just didn't get the depth of her abilities... Abilities she could use without touching them.

After that though, Class went by swiftly and the bell rang signaling that they should get to their next one.

3rd Period

From the moment she stepped into the classroom Lunaria knew two things for certain. The teacher was a Leanan Sidhe and this would be one of her more favorite classes. Her world was sound. In more ways than anyone present could even begin to imagine. And that was saying something.

But it was the moment the teacher motioned for her to come to the grand piano in the center of the front of the class. Lunaria gave her a small bow and waited. When a small white case was pulled from some hidden storage compartment, she couldn't help her reaction as she gasped and squealed internally. Not bothering to smother it. Just as Tician nudged her through the link, Lunaria had the case open and the violin inside resting against her right shoulder and cheek.

A small pleased nod from the teacher was all that Lunaria needed. Lifting the bow, she drew it across the strings. Eliciting a long and almost mournful note from them. Before her fingers began to dance up and down the neck as she played one of her favorite pieces, 'The Devil's Trill'.

"Well, well... this is a surprise. I know that sound anywhere," her sister thought-spoke to her, earning a soft sigh in return as the beautiful sound faded for a brief interlude.

"Ryu is the best ever. I had thought this had been lost, now I feel a bit more complete," her response was giddy, drawing a soft chuckle from Tician.

As she hit another interlude in the middle of the song, Lunaria let her mind recall how she learned to play the song. Her brother Michael had played it for their mother. And it had drawn her from her hiding spot beneath the stairs. It was so beautiful it had made tears spring to her eyes. And soon she was harmonizing with her voice alone. From there, Michael had doted on her with teaching her the song and instrument.

"Who do you have this period? I have the creepy teddy and Yuma," Tician said.

It took a few more minutes before Lunaria gave her reply, "Only Shuu..."

Who was staring at her with a potent glare as she finished up the song? The teacher complimenting her on her skills as she was motioned to sit. Of course, the only seat was next to Shuu. Putting away Moon's Serenade, making sure that it was settled in the case perfectly.

"Play that again," he commanded.

Taking a deep breath and turning to look at him, Lunaria smiled. They were all the same, it was frustrating. It made her want to ask Karlheinz just what he was thinking about how they were raised.

"No," she said simply.

The way his face went from earnest due to his enjoyment of her playing to a mask of cold fury. Lunaria almost flinched at the way his aura flared, though it stayed close to him. It was twice as strong as both Reiji's and Laito's had been together. Telling her that he kept his power on a tight leash and didn't show it very frequently. Meaning he was even more than he appeared to be.

"You will..." he started but stopped as Lunaria raised an eyebrow at him, smiling.

The wary look he got on his face made her wonder a few things, but that would be for later to explore, as she spoke, "Remember, we maybe belong to all of you. BUT we are not things. WE are PEOPLE... and as such you give respect and courtesy if you want something. Saying please while asking nicely is a good way to be rewarded. Now shush, I wanna enjoy this class, I love music."

Her words hit some chord or another in him as his icy blue eyes narrowed and he looked away. His facial features relaxing as they listened to the teacher instruct them on the music they'd be practicing for Christmas Choral Festival. Making Lunaria practically bounce in her seat.

4th Period

Her next class was another class she knew she would be enjoying. And seeing Yui in there next Kanato had her sighing in relief internally. It had been the same classroom she'd even met them in, which was called Home Economics. And it didn't take her much to figure out what they were supposed to do for class. Not with all the food ingredients set out on the small separated counters.

After introducing herself to the teacher, who said that all students were supposed to be in groups of three, Lunaria did not even wait to be told, she waltzed over to the two. Smiling as Yui looked at her wide-eyed in shock and Kanato looked over his teddy at her. His purple eyes cautious of her as he smiled pleased with her choice.

Soon the class was started and each group told to bake one of the two recipes on the paper. Picking it up Lunaria scanned a simple chocolate cake and sugar cookies. Lifting her head up, a frown on her face.

"Uh... is something wrong, Lunaria?' Yui asked her, words timid.

Looking at the girl, who she was eye level with only because of her own heeled boots and nodding her head.

"Do we have to follow these exactly? Or can we be creative?" she asked, only to get a deep chuckle, that was six levels of creepy from Kanato.

"You can modify them... Though not many do as they cannot bake.... But you can? Do you like to cook sweets?" he said, his voice going up an octave in excitement to match the gleam in his eyes.

"Yes. I love to bake and cook. And great... I will need molasses and brown sugar. I think Cookies are best," she said. To which she was shocked to see Kanato vanish and reappear with said items.

It was when she was mixing the batter and explaining why she was adding molasses and brown sugar to the sugar cookie recipe, when Tician intruded asking her which class she was in and who. To which she answered easily. Smiling at her sister even though it made her two companions look at her oddly.

Then Tician had chosen to be honest with her, "I have Glasses and Bandages. And I think I know who will be my prey, Lulu... I am eager to hunt."

It caused a shudder to run physically through her body as well as the link. Sympathy went out to the male that Tician had chosen. Really, it was simple. They were asking not for a lot, but something difficult at the same time. Vampires were exceptionally prideful creatures. Though not incapable of the basic manners. But this was a game for her sister. She loved the hunt before the kill.

"Lunaria?" Yui asked looking very concerned as she popped the second tray out of the over as Kanato put the third in.

"It is alright," she said, pursing her lips, "Just a small woman's intuition. I cannot explain it."

The raised eyebrow from Kanato who was reaching for one of the cookies again. Flicking her aura out, she watched as he pulled it back and hissed at her from behind his teddy's head.

"Wait for them to cool down. Those will burn your mouth!" she said, sighing in exasperation as she picked up one from their first batch.

Smiling Lunaira walked over to Kanato and waved it before his face. Smothering the giggles that wanted to burst forth as his eyes tracked it. With a soft 'AH' sound to Kanato who looked shocked for a second before his mouth opened. Lunaria popped it into his mouth and winked. Catching a faint blush on Yui's cheeks as she looked away thoughtfully. It was too cute.

Lunch

Having been informed by Yui & Kanato as they walked with a few of the others towards the cafeteria to get lunch they ate on the roof. Lunaria couldn't help but be curious. But that was forgotten when she saw Tician's back. Unable to restrain herself, she ran forward and hugged her sister from behind. Earning the desired reaction before being untangled and led to get food. The smells were okay, but it was not pleasant enough.

It didn't take long until they were all seated around the rooftop. And as Tician had said it was a nice view. The silence or soft talk was pleasing as they ate. There was Ayato, Laito, & Kanato sitting together, Yui in her mate's lap. But it what struck Lunaria was the fact that all three had similar aurae and souls. Meaning that they were not just brothers, but triplets. And oddly enough, she had taken Ayato as the eldest, but it was Kanato's soul that spoke of being first.

From there as she held a small conversation with her sister, that she looked at the others. Subaru was on his own, eating in silence. Making her want to get up and go to him, but knew he wanted no one near him from the fluctuations of his aura alone. Next was Shuu, who looked to be asleep, but something told her that was not correct. As her mind supplied Michael did this a lot. Look to be sleeping on a tree branch and was awake and very aware.

And sitting with her and Tician was Azusa and Ruki. Both having a polite talk amongst themselves as well as with her sister and herself. Azusa had positioned himself rather close to her but was giving her space still. It was almost endearing, though she knew it was his passive way to stake a claim. Ruki looked amused by this as he too sat right before her, just a bit further away, as Tician was on the other side of Azusa.

By the fencing were Kino and Kou, having a quiet conversation, though it was obvious it was not a nice one. The stiffness and flares of their aurae were funny almost. Next came Reiji and Yuma just off to the side of them. Again having their own hushed conversation. If she wanted she could read lips or even listen in, but that would be rude.

It was when Reiji looked over and spoke up, his tone rude as he addressed her sister, Lunaria tensed. Only to feel shocked at how Tician responded. It as almost polite. Making her wonder what was going to go wrong, Tician spoke.

"Lulu would you be willing to cook something for me tomorrow? I mean your food is the best ever... Sweets included."

The feel of several sets of eyes on her now had Lunaria flushing darkly and yelling at Tician over their shared link that she was a complete bitch. But still, it made her happy. And swiftly Lunaria replied, "Of course, if that is what you wish, then I cannot deny you Tici," while exaggerating her slightly exasperated sigh, "BUT I will cook for everyone then. It is only fair you know."

NExt thing she was in a hug from Tician who was ecstatic at her agreeing. And the way everyone else on the rooftop seemed mollified told her they were pleased in their own ways. Meaning she'd have to be up a few hours early to do this, but sleep was actually not something she needed.

The rest of lunch flew by uneventful, with of course her asking what everyone preferred to eat.

5th Period

Looking at her schedule as she wove her way through the crowds, Lunaria felt a thrill course in her veins. P.E. or Physical Education. It meant she'd be physically active. Able to get out there and do things and interact with others. Which, so far, had been fairly easy. Most of the other students had been polite and curious. Approaching her when none of the others were nearby. That was a bit funny, but then again remembering what she had been told in the first class, yeah.

So, upon reaching where the map indicated the Gymnasium was, Lunaria followed the instructions to the Locker room and the one assigned to her. It struck her as funny that it had a lock on a metal shaped box, and that most of the student body could just rip the door off, heedless of the lock. But then again they were all acting like they were humans since this was the human world and humans did attend this school. Sighing as she twisted the dial to get it to unlock.

Peering in, she felt her brow pinch together as she saw what was inside it. Heat rushing to her face at the thought of having to wear....what looked like... panties for this class. It was rather embarrassing to her, but she pulled out the clothing piece by piece, keeping her back almost pressed to the wall, not wanting the other girls to see the scars there. There was no shame really in having them seen, just explaining how they got there... Yeah, that'd be easy.

Once she was dressed, choosing to keep her stockings on as she finished tying the flats, Lunaria felt her skin crawl as a malicious aura washed over her. Standing up she saw that she had a tall, petite and very beautiful woman staring at her. Eyes glowing red as her painted lips curled up into a snarl, baring her fangs. Not sure what she had done to anger this girl, Lunaria smiled hesitantly before darting out the doors.

Once in the gym, she saw that the boys and girls were lining up on opposite sides of the gym. Following suit she froze, eyes going wide as her eyes met that of the teachers. To her, there was no mistaking what this man was. Swallowing and dropping her gaze to the wooden floor, Lunaria jumped when he spoke.

"Miss Dracos come here, now!"

It was a command. Lifting her head enough that she could focus her gaze on his stomach region, she stopped roughly three feet from him. Still just barely in his arm length. Looking up his black eyes cold and focused on her. They told her he knew along what lines her magic ran and he didn't like it.

"You will be sitting on the bleachers during class... Every class... due to your health complications," He bit out a smile that could only be described as nasty appeared on his face.

She felt her mouth drop open as if it had been unhinged. Blinking her eyes wide as she just stared at him. When he pointed for her to go sit as he started to bark out what they'd be doing, Lunaria just stayed where she was. Her mind trying to process what just happened.

"I think there is a problem... sir...." she said, drawing his attention back to her as the chatter from everyone else went silent.

"Excuse you? I do not think so. I have a note from the Doctor stating you have... extenuating health complications, so you are sitting on the bleachers... NOW GET!" he said, his voice like a whip before he bellowed.

Stunned, Lunaria felt her body obeying the command he just gave her. Agitation washing through her as she climbed up to the third row and sat down, stunned. There was only one 'Doctor' in this school.. and she knew him personally. But couldn't seem to fathom why he would do this to her. It hurt as well... making her mood sour greatly.

As she sat there, two familiar people slowed their running as they passed her looking up at her. It was Subaru and Yuma. Their eyes questioning and yet condemning her. It was something she was numb to as she blinked and looked away from them. Swallowing as she felt that tug before she spoke.

"What is wrong? I felt you get agitated... and not in a good way," was her softly spoken statement to Tician.

The latter was quiet for a bit before she got a response, that made her smile wanly and snorts, just as Subaru and Yuma were right in front of her. Earning her twin looks of irritation.

"I am okay. The English Teacher is a walking disease infested donkey's dick," Tician muttered back through their link, "But at least I have decent classmates, Sleepyhead and Ruki."

If there was one thing Tician was good at it was insulting people. Secretly hoped that she wouldn't tell the man to his face. Though she knew what was coming when her sister spoke again.

"Lunaria?" Tician asked.

"We can discuss this at home... By the way, did you know that the teacher is a very old Wraith?" was her own hushed response.

Glad that Tician knew enough to not push it.

6th Period

The urge to bang her head off the floor, yes floor, not her desk was so strong. Before her on the board was numbers and even more numbers. It made her feel dizzy as she sat there between Kou and Ayato. Both who she could feel staring at her with a mix of amusement and irritation at being ignored. But that couldn't be helped, this was her worst subject ever. Even though she could bake like no one else, it was all via taste... not actually measuring things, per se.

So, slumping in her seat and looking dejected as the teacher continued to write and tell them what their assignment for the duration of the class would be. Lunaria sucked on her bottom lip to stifle a soft whimper.

"Yours truly can help you... for a price," Ayato said, his voice a low and almost a purr. Reminding her of Laito.

"I don't think she wants your help. I would be better suited," Kou stated afterward, sarcasm dripping from each letter of each word.

Sighing she sat up and still refused to look at each of them as she spoke, "So can Tician. She is fantastic at stuff like this...."

The way they snorted in unison made Lunaria frowned and really flexed her aura for the first time that day. It was one thing to say things about herself or even harm her person. But no one... got away with dissing on Tician, even it was not worded. The soft twin hisses were the only indication that they reacted. Before their own auras flared at her. Making her give a soft warning growl that had them staring at her. It was not her normal to be rude, but like Tician, she tolerated nothing against her sister. Even if her complex was not as obvious.

"Well, you have some claws it looks like," Kou muttered.

A small nod of her head as she found the connection with Tician and initiated the conversation this time.

"Tician? Who do you have this period?" she whispered to her sister.

"Laito and Yui. You?" she asked back.

“Oh, Ayato and Kou...I do not understand all these equations…” her reply hesitant.

It was silent but a comforting type that was shared through the link as class continued on... While she counted the minutes until she could leave.

7th Period

The next class was one she enjoyed. Hearing about history was always fun. Learning from the past was a great way to try and avoid their mistakes. The key word was trying! And surprisingly Ruki hadn't tried to coerce or intimidate her to sit by him. Though it was obvious he expected it, he was polite and refrained from being a jerk of a bully like everyone else. So the smile she got when she sat by him was well worth it. It made his eyes look like shiny pieces of flint.

As they sat there and read along, occasionally being asked questions. Which she was able to partially answer from reading what Ryu had recommended over the two months they lived with him in Ireland. Lunaria felt a lot better, but she was still upset about P.E. Thus her mood was not optimal for being social. Yet Ruki seemed to pick up on that easily.

"Is everything okay?" he asked, trying not to be rude.

"Yes...no... depends.... Have a lot to process... I guess," she said, earning a raised eyebrow before he just nodded his head and said nothing more.

Grateful, Lunaria reached over and plucked his sleeve, getting him to look at her again. Smiling and mouthing Thank you, getting a slight curl to his lips before he went back to paying attention to the teacher. And she did too, at least until Tician spoke to her.

"Lulu....haha...I think they want me to kill people," Tician said to her.

Lunaria went stiff in her seat as she paused mentally and reacted, "OH NO! Are they making you take Home Ec? DO NOT TOUCH the food!" Inwardly flinching at the fact she yelled.

"You don't have to be that dramatic... It can be a secret weapon if the boys get too antsy. Besides, I have Kino and Yuma this period. And one seems to know what they are doing," Tician muttered darkly.

It was a while before Lunaria could reply, "Sorry, but I can still recall the mass poisoning you did to everyone. Even father was horribly ill... and he had immunity to poisons... Then there was the...." Lunaria trailed off.

When she got nothing in response, Lunaria felt horrible. Just as her eyes met Ruki's who was looking at her curiously, Lunaria smiled and shook her head to hopefully indicate that it was nothing.

"Sorry Tici!.. and I have...just Ruki in my class. He seems nice... though... I can feel a tinge of violence in him," Lunaria whispered to Tician.

8th Period

Eight period was a shock to her. Because they're sitting in class was not just Yui, but her sister as well. Relief flooding her as she rushed over and sat with them. A smile on her face as they chatted about inane things. Giving her a sense of calm and normalcy that was much needed. So, when Ryu walked into the class, Lunaria couldn't help it, she smiled brightly and warmly. The same could be said for Tician.

It was also one of the few times that Tician would sit still and listen and learn. Which was funny in and of itself. As the class progressed, Lunaria was able to pick up on the feelings of the other students as well. Most of them were females, who most definitely were already mooning over him. Not that she blamed them? No, she didn't. Cause Ryu was one hell of a looker. That tall, lithe body (which she knew to be all muscle) long black hair that had natural flame red streaks in it, pale perfect skin, giving him that effeminate quality... Yeah... he was a walking god of lust and sex.

But the fact that the ring he wore on his left hand was not for show or discouragement. He was mated. Though... she was long gone. Dead to the world now. It had pained Lunaria to hear that Moira had passed shortly after the twins had gone to sleep. But their child Cal was still there.

The day the female population at the school found out that he was unavailable, not interested, the fallout would be great. And she knew that being his 'niece' would have serious ramifications... Like those wanting to be friends to be close to him. And that she spent her time with him... hell slept in his bed on occasion when the situation called for it. But the dark truth about Ryu would scare those girls away. The man was exceptionally cruel and a true sadist, of which she was sure Karlheinz could never achieve.

After School/At Home

The ride home was quiet. Nice, but odd. Staring out the window, Lunaria was mulling over what had happened in the school today. Especially her fifth class. Answers were what she needed and no one in the car had them. Ryu had left already and was at the house, same with Karlheinz she guessed. The fact that Ryu had only met her gaze one during class told her he was aware of her mood, but he hadn't talked to her via their link.

So, of course, she jumped a bit and blinked at her sister when Tician touched her and spoke.

"Hey, what's going on?" Tician asked.

Silently Lunaria stared at her sister before she spoke, her voice low, soft and cold, "It is true you know. Except for Yui, ignorance breeds bliss."

At her words, she saw Tician tensing up and pulling away from her. Making Lunaria curse mentally as the smell of burning flesh permeated the limo as she saw Tician cradle her hand. It was not Tician who spoke next.

"That is an interesting thing to say, Lunaria. And I was not aware that you could be hurt by your sisters...unique...abilities," Reiji spoke up.

Turning her head to look at him, she quirked her head to the side, just staring at him for a few seconds. Noting that he was not meeting her gaze head-on. Telling her that something else was happening. Then it dawned on her that it was not her aura that was just fluctuating wildly, but her holy magic was leaking into it. Making her speak bluntly, which was not her normal thing to do.

"It is a true fact. To me you all are ignorant. Take things for granted. We have been asleep for over seven hundred years. As children, our parents brought us to the human realm a few times. The changes are astounding. It was a shock to the system. We grew up with the basics. Using Candles and firelight for everything. Now you have this electricity. A house that is like a miniature palace. Yet, you do not appreciate what you have? that is ignorance," her voice was dead sounding as she spoke.

The mixed reactions she got ranged from anger to displeasure to confusion from Yui. She didn't really care and since no one seemed to want to speak, she decided she would continue as she looked back out the window.

"Besides, looking at this sky, I can see stars that I am familiar with, but at the same times, I can tell that there are spaces where there used to be stars that are gone, while others are diming. It doesn't take a person with an iota of intelligence to realize that things are not what they appear to be," Lunaria bit out, her aura flaring for a second before settling as the car pulled up to the mansion.

Not waiting for an answer to her little speech, she had the door open and was out it. Taking the front stairs two at a time, before pushing the large front door open easily. Inside where the person she needed to talk to. So with long, swift strides, she opened the door to the at home office, making both occupants look up at her. Already Lunaria had the mental barrier between them so that Tician would not be brought in on this immediately.

Marching to the desk, she slammed her hands on the desk and leaned over it, so she was a foot from Karlheinz face. Her body shaking as she gave a low, impressive growl at the man.

"WHAT is the meaning of giving a note to my P.E. Teacher telling him I have a health condition, Karlheinz?" she snapped at him, earning a raised eyebrow as he just sat staring back.

The slight flicker of discomfort on his face told her that her aura and magic was spazzing again with her emotions. But she didn't care. She was livid, but not to the point she'd actually attack.

"Lunaria you will cease this right now. It was for you.." Ryu told her.

Jerking her body straight up, she gave him a quick glance as she ground her teeth, trying to get some reign on her temper. Failing as she saw the familiar whitewash over her vision, indicating that she was not succeeding as she saw his aura.

"You...you were in on this?" She said, disbelief coloring her words as well as the hurt she felt. "RYU VANTIRI, you told me I had to be as normal as possible... To fit in with the others at the school... A school that is predominantly demon's no less. Having to already hide what I am and not be who I am. AND then you go and be an arrogant pr--pri...prig! I Expect this outta his high and mightiness. As that is his normal But this...."

Her shoulders slumping slightly as she felt her sister try to come closer to her. Mentally glad when Ryu had her stay back. This was not Tician's issue, this was hers. And dammit she would deal with it on her own. Tician had to quit trying to protect and save her from everyone around her.

"I know what I said. And I meant it. But Lunaria, even now you are struggling to contain your powers as your emotions run rampant. That is why it was agreed between us that you would not partake of that class..."

The shriek that burst from her cutting off her adoptive uncle had him and Karlheinz flinching. She was sure that all the others were as well since their hearing was enhanced. She would apologize later, but now. now she just couldn't care for something in her shifted as if waking from a slumber. Making her cringe internally.

In the next instance, Lunaria pulled the light in the room to her person and left the room. When the light faded from her person, leaving her skin glowing like moonlight, she plopped down on the end of the dock. Staring out over the lake. Placing up several barriers of light and holy magic to keep herself safe. Crossing her legs into the lotus position, Lunaria slipped into her own mind to calm that part that was sluggishly waking. Aware that someone was making their way towards her.
