“Castle In The Air”
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything except this story of mine. Vampire Knight, as we all know, rightfully belongs to Hino Matsuri-sensei.
Rima is wandering around the palace’s garden. She is troubled, nonetheless, her mind is occupied with earlier’s conversation with her parents. She doesn’t understand why she’s going through such things in her life; but what can she do about it? She’s the first princess–the one and only to be exact–and the daughter of Kuran Kuran “>Yuuki together with Kuran Kaname. They’re both purebloods, the highest rank in the vampire society; although she wonders, is she one as well? Surely she is, but that question always pops out in her mind whenever she feels insecure. Unsure of what to do, she perished the thought. Her mind travelled back in earlier’s time.

“What did you say?” Rima was shocked, she couldn’t ask any other questions than that. She clearly wasn’t expecting to hear such things coming from her mother’s mouth. “Impossible,” she mutters in a sad tone.
“It’s not like we wanted it, Rima.” Kaname tries to persuade her. True, they’re not the ones behind all of the recent happenings. They didn’t want it also, he thought. Looking at their position, their kingdom, their land, everything as a matter of fact, someone’s hindering the ways of their ruling – not to mention, they’re in the state of bankruptcy. The likes of goods and such are slowly disappearing. “I’m sorry.”
“I know,” she says, finally, surprising her parents. “You’re not the ones at fault; this is bound to happen sooner or later. But, I didn’t expect it to be this soon.” She looks directly in their eyes, her blue pearls showing no hint of emotion, only coldness. “Let’s end this discussion now; I’m tired.” Rima turns around, her back facing them, and begins to walk away. Her face covered with her bangs making her expression unknown. But, tears were spotted to be running down from her once soft eyes.
“I’m so sorry,” she heard Yuuki apologise before she even disappears from their sight. This only made it worse for her. When Rima had reached the door, she broke a run for it, not wanting to stay any longer with their presence, and mostly, not wanting to be seen crying.

‘They may have their reasons, I just know it. But…’ she stops from her thinking for a while before resuming once more, ‘I still can’t accept the fact I have to get married.’ She sighs, looking at the starry night sky. So peaceful, always twinkling and bright, just like the Rima in the past. When she thought of this, she shakes her head, trying to erase the memory she wants to forget.
“Useless,” she says in a low voice. “I want to forget, but memories just keeps coming back to haunt me.” She looks at her surroundings; the trees, plants, and flowers around her. Beautiful, she thinks. But somehow, she gets tired of it, and doesn’t quite like it. She then decides to go back to her room while deep in thought. She wants to clear her mind–to have some peace and quiet, for instance. Maybe the wandering decreased her worries, after all.
