The school grounds had gone forward with plans for the spring festival despite everything that had happened on the campus. The night sky was lit by the festively colored lights. People walked around all over the place. One of the few chances that both humans and 'Specials' interacted with one another. She recognized a few other Specials from her buildings, but didn't bother to talk to them.

Natsuki stood at the large fountain in the middle of the festival. Large white, pink, and purple flowers floated in the water that sparkled from the many different colored lights that hung over the food stalls and game tents on long lines. The festival was in the town park, and nearly everyone on the island was there. She'd gone, like just about everyone else at her school; but for different reasons.

She sighed as she looked down into the water. Her long black hair was pulled back into a bun, a berrette with a white and pink lilly in the center and two hair sticks with matching tassles that dangled down her hair decorated it. Like a lot of other girls she saw walking around, she too was in a kimono. The light pink-lavender kimono held a deep lavender Obi around her waist, printed with white lillies all over it.

She stood there, her blue eyes watching the water absentmindedly. She'd been avoiding him. Since the accident at the school that had left Acacia dead and every vampire in the school questioned, she'd been doing her best to avoid Zoft. She knew that he knew she was hungry that night when she had rushed out of his room.

They had almost kissed back then, and the phone ringing had stopped them. She.. regretted it. Regretted that phone ringing. She stood there, her hands clasped in front of her. She couldn't bare the thought of him thinking she was the one responsible for his girlfriend's death. She just couldn't.

She felt something warm go down her cheek, but didn't pay it any attention. She didn't even realize she was crying as she stood there, wishing things had happened differently. That she wasn't.. what she was. Maybe then.. she wouldn't look like a murderer along with every other vampire in the school.

Zoft stands with his friends talking, most of them joking and laughing but he can't bring himself to join in on the fun. He just stands there listening with a drink in his hand. He stands out from the rest of the males, as his kimono is very different. His Kimono is a dark purple, with a black haori. The family crest stamped in white on the shoulders. The hakama has the same purple with black vertical stripes.

Its strange how he had wanted to leave Acacia but now he just wishes she was alive again. Despite his feelings for someone else he misses Acacia but doesn't know why.

"Is it only because she is gone now ordid I have feelings for her all along." The confusion runs through his brain as the other elves talk about meaningless things. "I bet it was that new kid, the creepy arrogant one."

A movement in the corner of his eye forces him to look over and catch Natsuki standing alone. A tear is running down her cheek and it breaks Zoft's heart. He hesitates going to her. His feelings for her were unmistakable, but was that a betrayel to Acacia? Could he talk to her without feeling guilty? Zoft errs on the side of caution and slowly makes his way to her through the crowd. Several students stop him on the way and compliment him on how goo he looks. They slow him down further but he finally reaches Suki as a tear falls from her cheek and soaks the ground.

"It's ok." He uses his thumb to wipe her cheek. "why are you crying?"

Warmth. She blinked, and when she realized it was Zoft standing in front of her wiping away a tear she didn't know she had until then, she went wide-eyed. "Zoft.." She muttered. There were a thousand things she wanted to say, a thousand she wanted to do, in that moment. Seeing him there made her mind go blank, and she couldn't help herself.

Her eyes watered more, and after a moment her arms went around his waist as she burried her head into his chest, her tears starting to fall faster. She couldn't remember if she had ever cried before or not.

"I'm sorry." She cried. "I'm sorry I haven't been around. I'm sorry I wasn't there. Please, Zoft, you have to believe me. I didn't do it. I swear, I didn't hurt her." She cried, her shoulders shaking as she leaned into him.

Crying. "Why do girls cry so much?" He hates when people cry, it always throws him off balance. She begins to sob more as she buries herself into him. Zoft wraps his long arms around her, placing his right hand on the back of her head. The poor girl starts pouring out apologies through the tears and Zoft doesn't know if his words can comfort her or not.

"I never thought you did." He starts to run his fingers through her soft hair as he looks down at her. "It breaks my heart to see you this way." Her tears drip into the purple silk and change the color slightly.

"I wish were weren't standing in front of everyone." He can feel the glances from the other students, the humans have no idea what is going. The specials stare and gossip with judgemental eyes.

She blinked, and after a few moments looked up at him somewhat surprised. Her hand moved up as she wiped her tears off her cheeks, surprised at that alone. He didn't..?

Her brows furrowed slightly as she looked up at him, her head tilting to the side. "You didn't?" She questioned, the surprise coming out in her voice. "But..I was told you..considered me nothing more than a murderer." She pulled back a little.

A glance around told her they were being stared at and she frowned slightly. "..Maybe..we should go somewhere less crowded." She suggested. "I..found a place earlier." She paused. "...If.. you want to, that is." She added.

He is shocked to hear the words, 'considered me nothing more than a murderer'.

"No, I never said that. Who told you such a thing?" He begins to burn with anger, "Why would she believe a stupid rumor? and who the hell would say that?" He grew more furious by the second, feeling like someone was trying to sabatoge everything.

The murder certainly has created the friction between the vampires and elves to become a lot more unstable. If he were forced to choose a side...he couldn't do that. He just can't.

His thoughts return to the matter at hand as she notices the crowd around them. Zoft's ears twitch as he hears someone in the distance "Look at those two." "Yeah let's get out of here." He nods and waits for them to escape.

She nodded her head slightly, moving off away from the crowd. Gradually, the lines of people thinned, and as she moved further to the back of the park near a temple, people slowly started to just not be there. When the temple came in sight, she started talking again, though her eyes stayed on the ground.

"I asked about you.. after the day it happened. I even went to your dorm after..well, after my interrogation was done. I couldn't find you, so.. I asked around. A few of your friends heard me asking about you." She sighed, shifting to the side and moving to walk into the woods near the temple. She felt safer there than she did out in the open.

"They said you didn't want to see me. That you hated me. They told me that you blamed me for what happened. So that day..when you tried to talk to me outside class and I ran.. it was because I didn't...I couldn't...stand the thought of you..thinking of me that way." She explained.

Her voice was choked, and she had to force herself not to let the threatening tears slip down her cheeks the way they wanted to.

She started leading him away from the crowd, to the old temple. It used to be a glorious building that has long since been forgotten. The frequency of people becomes less and less the closer they get to the temple. Zoft looks up at the temple as they pass by it and into the woods. The moon casts shadows across the stones and some of the statues begin to look omnous.

Zoft listens to her explain everything then pauses. It all starts coming together in is head. "After I found her...I started feeling differntly towards her, I was a little confused as to if I liked her or if I just missed her as a person, as a friend. The others started saying things, about vampires, about a possible war being started. I told them I had to think. I didn't want to talk to anyone." A tinge of guilt leaks into his voice. "I uh, I came to see you and was angry when you ran away, I felt rejected. When they asked what was wrong I said things I shouldn't have said about you. I'm sorry."

Zoft holds her hands and pulls her into him again, wrapping his arms around her.

She blinked, leaning into him a little though she looked up at him curiously. "..What did you say?" She questioned, curiously, but gently. Oddly enough, she had a feeling they probably wouldn't be too far off from the truth. She shook her head slightly, speaking again before he could. She shouldn't have asked a question she didn't want to know.

"I didn't kill her, Zoft." She said quietly, looking away from him. "The night it happened.. I went back to my room and got the emergency packs. I'm sorry I rushed off like I did that night. But I was beginning to lose control.. and I didn't want to hurt you. I didn't want to risk it, because I didn't want to risk a chance at a friendship with you."

She sighed, letting her forehead rest against his chest. "I guess.. I lost it anyway."

"I know you didn't, Minnie told me she talked to you that night." His mind trails off as she rests against him. She looks so beautiful tonight and he wished they could just dance and have fun like everyone else. "I guess we will never be like everyone else. That's the sacrifice." He knows that if they are going to be friend, or more than friend they will always have everyone else trying to push them apart.

"You didn't lose anything." He speaks softly and firmly hoping to reassure her. "You will never lose me, because I don't want to lose you." With the lack of hair on his head, the breeze kisses his head, sending a shiver through him.
