Ch. 1
It was a dark and snowy night, the wind was harsh as it tore at your hair and ripped through your clothes. You could still hear your pursers running after you. You did not know why these men were following you. All that you did know was that these were the men that had murdered your family.
After fifteen minutes of running you were able to see the town through the dense growth of the forest. You suddenly felt a burst of energy go through you and you began to run to the closest you saw.
After you banged on the door a few times you heard someone yelling that they were coming. A second later a handsome boy around your age with dark blonde hair, pale green eye's and a very athletic figure opened the door with one hand and holding a manga in the other.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" the boy asked as he looked you up and down.
You looked down at yourself noticing for the first time that your clothes were ripped and covered in blood, your hair was all knotted with small twigs stuck in it, your skin was covered with a majority of cuts and bruises, and tears were flowing from your eyes.
"No my parents are dead and the murderers were chasing me through the forest. I just didn't know what to do and when I saw your house I just bolted." You explained very much shaken by the day's events.
You looked up at the boy whom you had seen a few times at the local book store, and from what you had heard his name was Takuma Ichijo.
Takuma looked you with such caring and horror struck eyes that you wondered what was wrong. "Takuma-san are you all right?" you asked looking at the handsome boy in front of you.
"Yeah, anyway you should probably come in now and get washed off. I'll find you some clean clothes to wear all right?"
You nod in thanks and go inside to see that the outside of the manor does not live up to its potential. The interior was decorated as if it was a house that once belonged to nobles of the royal family.
Takuma stood beside you waiting for you to move. When at last you did move he told you to go with him so that he could show you to one of the many guest rooms and get you some clothes.
After a quick shower and wash down of your whole body you walked out of the bathroom that was connected to the bedroom and saw that Takuma was sitting there patiently waiting for you while reading the next volume in the manga that you had seen him holding, beside him was a change of clothes that were probably his until a short time ago.
As you walked into the room Takuma looked up from his book and looked at you with a blush creeping onto his face. He quickly put his book down and handed you the clothes.
Geez I can't believe how pale she is and…. Wait I don't even know her name and I just invite her into a place like this?!! But she does look like someone I know. I just can't put my finger on it. - Takuma thought.
You quickly took the clothes and said a word of thanks before returning to the bathroom to change. Before you put on the shirt you looked at your reflection in the mirror and noticed for the first time how pale your skin looked. You leaned in closer and noticed that your eyes looked different from their regular hazel colour, your hair was finally starting to dry and you noticed how your hair looked so dark, like the colour of bark, you also noticed how your lips were returning to their regular pinkish purple.
After a few more minutes of looking at your reflection you heard Takuma calling and asking if you were all right.
"Yes I'm fine just finishing changing." You called back and finished buttoning your shirt before sprinting to the door, but before you could get there you slipped on a puddle of water and you waited for the impact to come but it never did. You opened your eyes to see Takuma looking at you thoughtfully.
"You know you shouldn't run in here. You might get hurt." He told you in a teasing manner making you blush slightly. You nodded slightly while getting up and making Takuma let you go.
Before you got to the bedroom you felt Takuma's breath on your neck as he asked, "I just remembered you haven't told me your name yet and yet somehow you know mine. So would you honour me by telling me your name?" he asked in a rather seductively and polite voice.
You turned around and looked him straight in the eye and said, "It's Kaitlyn. Just Kaitlyn though, I've given up using last names because I don't know who my real father is and until I meet him I have no desire for a last name unless I get married." You said with a serious look in your eyes and a determined smile on your face as you told him.
At that point in time when he saw that determined smile and serious look he felt that she really reminded him of someone.
–The way she stands and looks you straight in the eye without hesitation and fear after something like that. And also her appearance is somewhat familiar. But for some reason I just can't put my finger on it. Aside from that her personality is good but she'd a bit quite and shy, but also brave kind and probably loyal. I wonder who killed her parents? - Takuma thought to himself as he walked to the bedroom door.
As soon as he was about to touch the doorknob Kaitlyn asked, "Um I was just wondering but is there a kitchen where I could get something to eat?"
Takuma looked back at her and nodded his head, "Yeah. But I don't think you should wander around here at night it can get pretty dangerous." He said not wanting to get into details as to his family's secret, although he thought that he should probably tell his family that a human was in one of the guest rooms.
"Really? But what kind of danger could be lurking around here? And I would really like to meet your family and get to know you a little better." She said with an air of confidence around her.
Kaitlyn looked at Takuma thoughtfully with a pleading look in her eyes and a small smile set upon her face. Takuma sighed and nodded his head without giving an answer to any of her questions. He just opened the door for her and followed her out as she walked down the hallway they had taken earlier. As he walked behind her he thought about this girl in front of him and tried to piece together who she reminded him of.
–This girl, there's more to her than what meets the eye. And it seems as if she's really independent but knows when to ask other's for help. But she can also be very serious and even right now she's acting as if her parent's deaths were to be expected.- Takuma sighed inwardly and closed his than no sooner he almost crashed into Kaitlyn by accident.
When he opened his eyes he saw that she was just standing there with this nervous expression on her face as if she had just gotten a chill.
"Hey you okay Kaitlyn? What's the matter?" he asked her as she just stood there for a few minutes. At the sound of his voice she woke from her daze and looked at him liked she had just a ghost. "It's just…. I thought I felt a familiar aura approaching. It's hard to explain so I'll just sum it up and be blunt: I'm psychic. I feel these weird paranormal pressures sometimes and from time to time I'm able to see the dead exactly the way they were when they died. I know it sounds crazy but this been ever since I turned seven and I just can't stand it." She said with exasperation and stress in her voice like she expected him to believe her.
"Seriously? You know that's sort of cool. But I also felt a familiar presence and unlike your sixth sense it's different. It's the presence of an old friend of mine I forgot that he was coming for a visit. Oh no." He said with a scared and nervous expression in his eyes.
"What is it? What's wrong Takuma-kun? What's going on?" She asked slightly nervous and worried about her new friend.
"It's just I remembered that my grandfather's coming home to greet my friend and I don't think it would be good to meet him. I mean I think you get really scared just by looking at him because that's what happens most of the time." He explains with concern in his voice.
"Really? That's it? Well you know what I think it might be interesting to meet him. Oh and you don't have to hide anything from me because the moment I stepped inside your house I had images going through my head and I understand that your entire family are vampires including this friend of yours. What? Remember I told you I'm psychic so I know what to expect, and that included my parent's deaths earlier today." She said with confidence and a smirk on her face.
Takuma didn't know what to do and he didn't even have to tell her his secret.
-This girl is really something else I mean she kept a cool calm demeanour throughout that whole explanation. I can't believe that anyone else other that Kaname could do that? Wait that's it she's just like Kaname, and not just by the way she speaks or looks but everything. The only difference is that Kaitlyn opens up and tells the truth no matter what kind of situation she's in. - Takuma thought in awe of the resemblance. Just then he noticed that Kaitlyn was walking towards the sitting area that was right next to the door of the house and sat down in Takuma's favourite chair.
When she looked back at where Takuma was standing she sighed and waved over to him to sit next to her, he sighed and walked over to where she was sitting and graciously accepted the seat.
After a few minutes they both heard the sound of screeching tires and door's opening and shutting. Kaitlyn looked over at Takuma with a question in her eyes that said, so which is it your friend or your scary grandfather?
He laughed and stood up while moving his eyes upwards and saying in a pleasant voice, "Welcome home grandfather."
Kaitlyn also stood up at the same time and bowed politely in the direction of Takuma's grandfather.
"Kaitlyn I would like for you to meet Asato Ichijo, my grandfather and CEO of the Ichijo group." He said to his new friend and then looked at his grandfather.
"Grandfather this is my friend Kaitlyn. Her parent's were murdered earlier today and after running from her parent's murderer's from her house through the woods she finally made it hear and I decided that it would be a good idea to help her for awhile." He told his grandfather while placing a hand on Kaitlyn's shoulder. Asato just watched his grandson as he explained the girl's present situation.
"I see. Well she is welcome stay if she wishes, but I want you to watch out for her for the remainder of her stay." He said in a stern voice.
^I just hope she doesn't learn about Kaname and the council. Hmm …. Maybe I should ask Kaname to take her to Cross. ^ He thought about the girl going to live with the headmaster of the prestigious Cross Academy.
"Takuma, I was just wondering that maybe Kaitlyn should go and live with Cross. What do you think about that?" he asked the two teens.
They looked at each and Kaitlyn was the first to speak. "Excuse me sir, but do you mean Kaien Cross the famous vampire hunter and headmaster of Cross Academy?" she asked with a smile creeping onto her features.
"Yes. And I see that you've heard of him. Very impressive, but I don't think that it would be a very good idea to bring up the hunter's society. But he might be willing to make you a guardian." He said as he thought of the two guardians that were Cross's adoptive children.
"Grandfather what are you talking about? It would be too risky to send her there. And besides I don't think that he would just adopt her without a good reason." Takuma told his grandfather with a serious voice and cold eyes. Kaitlyn just watched them talk about what to do with her because technically it was her choice.
~It would be nice to stay here but it would probably be safer to live with Cross. It would also be nice to have Takuma around. ~ Kaitlyn thought about it carefully until she reached her decision by which time the men had stopped talking and were looking at her with expectant eyes.
"So, what do you want to do Kaitlyn? After all it is your decision." Takuma told her in a quite but reassuring voice. Kaitlyn looked at the two men with determination in her eyes.
"I have decided to live with Cross but be allowed to enter this rumoured Night class that is being formed. I already know that it's a class that young vampires well be attending, and that Kaname Kuran well also be attending the Night class. Is that not the sole reason others are joining the Night class?" she asked in a serious and understanding voice. "And speak of the devil here he is now." She told the two men who were standing there looking surprised at what she had just said.
–I can't believe that she just called Kaname that without even blinking an eye! - ^How did she even know that Kaname was coming over. And she even agreed to live with Cross!! What is up with this girl? Who is she? And how does she know about the society? ^ The two thought without even realizing that she was going to answer the door for Kaname who they could see walking up the driveway. End Ch.1
