'Yuki…'

Silence filled the campus, the lack of sound deafening to those who would dare exit their sanctuary. Shadows lurked ominously across the paths, evil lurking in the shadows the crimson moon threw across the school grounds.

A lone light shone from the Headmaster's premises, moving through the air as it's possessor strode across the outdoor walkways.

'Yuki…'

The silhouette stopped abruptly, a crash audible as the lantern shattered across the ground. Another light flickered on, shedding light on the guardian.

"Yuki, what the hell are you doing?" Zero hissed through is teeth. His silver hair glistened with the light from the moon, his eyes a faint red color. "I can smell your blood from across the campus!"

Yuki Cross hid her grimace and smiled lightly up at him, "Sorry, Zero. I'll be more careful." She looked at her finger that was now stained red. She cast an embarrassed glimpse up at the figure before her, "Are you thirsty?"

Zero growled in reply, throwing his handkerchief at her in disgust, "Just don't do it again."

"Yuki-chan and Zero-kun, I have an exciting announcement!" Headmaster Cross exclaimed from behind his desk.

Zero sighed with disinterest as Yuki responded enthusiastically with sparkles in her eyes, "A trip off campus?"

"No."

Zero snickered as he watched Yukis' face fall in apparent disappointment. She noticed his amusement and elbowed him sharply.

"Then what, sir?" Yuki asked mildly now.

"Why don't you ever call me father?!" The Headmaster anguished, "I've raised you for ten years and you can't even do that for me!"

"What is your freakin' announcement?!" Zero shouted, his fangs obtruding from his mouth.

"Oh." The Headmaster scratched his head lightly, "I forgot."

Zero's mouth fell open, "Then I'm leaving!" He growled and stomped out of the room.

Yuki watched him go, distressing over following him or waiting for the Headmaster to make his point. "You do that on purpose," She accused Headmaster lightly and ran after him.

"Zero, you know that he's just playing with you," Yuki prodded after catching up with Zero a few minutes later.

He ignored the subject, "I'm skipping out tonight, have fun with Kaname." He spat, making his intentions clear. Stay Away.

Yuki smiled weakly, pushing a few stray hairs behind her ear, "If you're hungry you can just tell me," She murmured softly, watching Zero walk away without another glance.

"Yuki," A voice called from behind her.

She turned to find Ichijo waving playfully from his window in the moon dorm, "Ichigo-senpai! It's day light, you should be resting!" She exclaimed, shaking her finger at him.

He chuckled lightly, "Kaname has been saying your name all day, and I just can't sleep with it anymore."

Yuki's face blushed crimson, "Don't joke!"

"But it's so cute, Yuki-chan!" He cooed, his wide grin revealing his bright white teeth. "Wait here," He called as he left his place by the window. A few seconds later he appeared at the doorway. "Come visit!"

Yuki looked around her, speculative and hesitant, "I don't want to disturb Kaname-senpai." She responded.

He touched her shoulder lightly, "You already do," He chuckled, grasping her wrist delicately and pulling her inside.

"Ichijo-senpai, this really isn't a good idea!" Yuki urged as they reached the top of the stairs. He pulled her down the carpeted hallway, and pushed her inside a slightly ajar door.

Darkness shrouded Yuki as he shut the door behind them. The only light came from behind the drawn curtains. "Can I please leave?" She asked cautiously, sensing the now sinister aura of the room.

"After you let me taste you," An unfamiliar voice growled from behind her.

Fangs pierced her neck before she could react. She twisted to find Ichijo's face buried in her neck, two different colored eyes glaring back at her.
