Lily: I honestly have no idea what to say about this fic... Please read anyway!


"Are we there yet?" Whined a fairly tall brunette with amethyst eyes from the backseat. The driver of the azure blue Acura MDX chuckled. However, the blonde beside the brunette was not amused.

"You've already asked that, Akihiko. Shut up before you wake up Sakura." Growled the red-eyed teen, who was clutching a tiny baby girl protectively to his chest.

"Now, now, Kira," Admonished the red-head in the passenger seat, "be nice to Akihiko-sama. You're suppose to be playing the role of..."

"If you dare to say that one more time, Kioshi, I will rip your head off!" Kira hissed at the golden-eyed boy.

Kioshi, undeterred, continued on, "... the obedient wife." The only thing stopping the blonde from lunging at his brother was the little pink bundle nestled in his arms. Akihiko, bored once again, began pestering the driver.

"Hey, Mizuki, how much longer will this trip be?" Akihiko asked politely. The blue-haired twenty-year-old sighed.

"We should be there in two or three hours, so around five or six PM. Okay?" The green-eyed male explained slowly. Akihiko nodded, satisified. Kioshi, sensing that the situation had finally calmed down, turned on the radio.

Thank god that the volume was on low! Kioshi rejoiced silently, Or else Kira would kill me for waking up Sakura!

And, with that, the five strangers continued on their journey with the Three Days Grace CD, One-X, playing in the background.


Zero stood patiently beside the gate leading into Cross Academy. Due to some... unfortunate relations that he had, he was missing his cherished nap time. It was seriously starting to piss off the silverette.

And it was never a good thing to piss off Zero. Never. A. Good. Idea.

Just as the vampire was about to leave and go shot something (preferably Kaname, or one of his inner circle), a blue Acura turned onto the road leading towards Cross Academy. Recognizing the car, Zero waited impatiently for it to pull up beside him.

As the vehicle neared the silverette, the driver's window pulled down.

"Hey, Zero! Been a while, hasn't it? Come on, climb in. We've got places to go and people to see!" Mizuki chirped happily. A cheer rang out from Kioshi's mouth, agreeing wholeheartedly with the bluenette.

Zero reluctantly complied, opening the door and sliding in beside Kira. As soon as he was in, the small baby in Kira's arms began cooing.

"Awwww! Sakura knows that her Uncle Zero's here! Isn't that cute!" Kioshi squealed.

"How did you survive five hours in a car with him and Akihiko?" Zero inquired Kira, ignoring the red-head.

"I survived only because I had my little cherry blossom with me." Kira explained. In the front, Mizuki began laughing, while Kioshi began crying to himself.

"So, this is my niece. You said that her name is Sakura, right?" Zero remarked, peeking into the pink blanket. He found two innocent amethyst eyes and a mop of golden hair peering up at him.

"Yeah, there's a pretty funny story behind that. Hey, do you want to hold her?" Kira offered. With a faint nod from Zero, Kira handed her cousin-in-law his niece. Cooing softly, Sakura reached up and grabbed a piece of Zero's silver strands. She gave it a gentle tug, and Zero couldn't help but smile softly down at her.

The moment was ruined, however, when Akihiko decided to interrogate his cousin.

"So, have you and Kuran finally done the deed? It's pretty obvious that you like each other." The idiotic brunette ventured.

Zero promptly shut him up with a fist to the face.


"I'm sorry," Ichijou Takuma began, "But I could have sworn that you just said that we'll be having five new Night Class students joining us. Tonight."

Kaien Cross continued to smile. "That's because I did say that." The Headmaster informed the skeptical noble.

"Th- That's impossible! We should have been given atleast one week's notice beforehand!" The blonde vice-president exclaimed. The Hunter in font of him sighed.

"I know that it's unexpected, but could you please try to get them settled in? They've had a long journey, and they were all so excited to be here. I, myself, was also startled when I received the news, but these new students will help contribute to our cause. I hope that this won't be too much trouble for you and Kaname." The Headmaster stated, still smiling.

"N-no, it's okay. This is just so unexpected, especially since it's so late in the year. If you'll hand over their files, then I'll go ahead and set up some rooms for them ASAP." Takuma said, finally composing himself. Kaien handed the vice-president five folders, each labeled with the name of the student whom it belonged to. With one last smile and a wave of his hand, the Headmaster retreated from the Moon Dorms.
