Chapter 1: To find the perfect candidate

Walking down the hallways of Cross academy, towards the chairman's office Enma Ai shifted her school bag higher in her arms to conceal the "heavenly view" that had captured the attention of various passer-bys. She was relieved that she had grown taller in height and had longer hair, but was it necessary for her to grow such assets that attracted unnecessary attention from both the male and female species? She could almost feel the daggers stab into her as each girl in Cross Academy glared at her as they passed and it was as if she had a perfect TV reception that allowed her to see what each guy thought as they eyed her from head to toe.

Ai bowed her head down to prevent the people that passed her by to see her abnormally crimson eyes and decided to speed up her pace to avoid further harassment, her sudden increase in speed caused her skirt to glide freely around her perfectly shaped legs revealing more of her creamy porcelain skin, this act of exposure created a field of blooming erections. 'someday I'll burn this uniform and send the designer to hell' she whispered to herself. Meanwhile the female population were mentally cursing her and jealous death glares were boring holes into her skull making it more unbearable to keep her stoic demeanour in place.

"Is that the new girl? She's weird did you see her eyes?"

"She's hot" whistled a boy with red hair

"Yeah I saw it, its red do you think she's an albino?" mentioned a blonde girl

"Do you think I should ask her out?"

"Psst.. they say she's smart but look at her she looks like a slut"

"I bet she's got fake hair? And those boobs, I'm sure she went under the knife"

Girls were ganging up on her as if Ai was some kind of prey that they're ready to pounce on any moment now, while the boys were clawing the walls writhing in agony, trying to lessen the throbbing pain inside their boxers and others preferred to rush into the nearest female sanitary vending machine and bombard their noses with tampons since tissue were no good substitute in preventing severe epistaxis (nosebleed).

Ai had never encountered such situations before, where every ones attention is mainly focused on her in a sexual way and never did she have first hand experiences with the teenage food chain or the hierarchy for that matter and how competitive the female species can be.

Turning around the corridor and heading up the stairs that led towards the third floor of the academy, Ai did not notice that the current floor she was at was free of rabid students. She was far away from the real world, physically she was there but mentally her brain was in reminiscing land.

Walking down the empty corridors of cross academy that led to the chairman's office Ai was still deep in thought. For over four hundred years living behind the closed doors of her Japanese mansion, the raven haired beauty had only experienced hatred and betrayal, she never really did socialise, the only things she knew that were true were the never ending cycle of pain and vengeance humans harbour against each other and she has witnessed it and took part on it as well. She knows what it is like to hate to be betrayed and to be punished for the sins she has done and now that the lord of hell appointed her to be the hell girl.

Ai started her career as the Hell Girl by her own act of vengeance on the villagers who sentenced her to a sacrificial death. Her task of fulfilling other people's vengeance and ferrying people to Hell is her punishment, a task which she has performed for the better part of 400 years. Although this task is presented as atonement, it is unknown whether she will ever be freed of it. Since she has done this for so long, she initially seemed to have become emotionless, numbed, as is shown by her expressionless face. Wanyūdō one of her three apprentice noted that she still had feelings, though, although she did not express them strongly, she had been ordered to close her heart by the lord of hell. Now she had been sent to the human world for reasons she has yet to discover, she had came into terms that humans are really decisive and cunning, she took and audible sigh trying to realise the tension from remembering those hateful memories.

The crimson eyed girl stopped in front of a mahogany coloured door, as if her body was controlled by strings, she slowly raised her left arm and wrapped her hand in the door knob. She stood there like a statue, aimlessly staring at the door with her position still holding the knob. Out of a sudden the door majestically flung open with such force that it caused the raven haired girl to land on her bottom with a loud thud that echoed through out the hallway.

Ai finally retrieved her senses and was now aware of her surroundings together with the crushing weight laid sprawled on top of her petite form and her precious lady lumps. She slowly supported her weight with her elbows and gently opened her eyes. Pair of crimson eyes met with hazelnut coloured orbs that was shielded by thin slightly round glasses.

"Eh… Ano??.." said the blonde man on top of her, who was looking the right words to break the tension. "I'm Cross Kaein the Chairman of this academy and uhm… welcome to Cross Academy??" he shrugged whilst supporting his torso with his arms and made the most idiotic smile that she has ever seen in her whole entire four hundred years of life, even Simon Cowell would cringe in horror.

Now that Ai was aware of the surroundings and her overflowing brain cells were functioning full time again, her crimson eyes travelled down to look at their tangled limbs and then realisation hit her hard. She could feel heat rushing to her face and was sure she was currently blushing different shades of red. The poor girl was stunned. Who wouldn't? Never in her four hundred years of life had she been smacked on the face with a door and be in a situation where the chairman of the school she's going to attend is on top her in between her legs. Plus to dump more salt on the wound, she was wearing a skirt. By the time she had finished processing the situation Ai did the only thing she can think of. She fainted.

Ai woke up to the sounds of two male voices, both were having a mild argument and some where between their conversation, they mentioned her name. The now slightly conscious girl tried to focus her attention whilst pretending to stay asleep.

"But Zero! It was an accident, I was just trying to greet her" whined the male who had a high pitched irritating girlish voice. Ow, how Ai just wished she could rip out that guy's voice box and feed it to a pack of flesh eating bacteria, at that point it was so tempting. After a few calculations Ai identified this excessively happy person to be the chairman.

"Whatever, but look at what you did! You got the girl knocked out, pervert." with the last word sounding more inaudible, the man with the monotonous voice was for sure annoyed with the chairman. From what Ai could tell the voice came from this Zero person the chairman mentioned earlier. But even if Zero made the last word hard to hear the chairman still grasped his words and reciprocated.

"It was an accident"

"…"

"I swear! I wanted to greet her not molest her. I thought it would be cool and off the shiznet-"

"Stop trying to relate to me!" shouted Zero releasing an unholy aura.

"Okei, take a chill pill" said the chairman waving it off

"I swear if you try to relate to me again you'll never live to see or relate with the next generation"

"Anyway back to the topic. I never meant to do anything like that, I'm sure she's just shy to come in and meet your 'gorgeous' father!" the chairman stood up from his chair with weird twinkling eyes and a hand placed on his chest.

CRASH!!!!

"Who gave you the authority to think that I'm your son?!" Zero's words oozed with a foreboding aura as he punched the nearest thing he can lay his hands on, and unfortunately for the chairman it was his brand new cherry coloured desk that Ichijou Takuma bought him as a Christmas gift.

Aoki winced at the loud crashing impact zero made. 'Crap! I blew my cover'

"I believe 'little-miss-new-student' has been awake for quite sometime now?"

"Eh?" the blonde chairman blinked absent minded before hurrying beside the conscious girl on the red velvety couch.

Ai slowly sat up on the couch careful not to put strain on her throbbing skull due to her fall from grace earlier together with her butt. Kneeling in front of her the goof ball of a chairman bowed his head and apologized.

"I'm so SORRY!!... WAHHH!!" sobbed the blonde buffoon and was crying an ocean with a slight drop of mucus dripping down his nose.

Ai blushed at the sudden flashback of events she had with the chairman moments ago. 'oh wait, was it moments ago or hours ago?' she wondered to herself, she placed her closed hand on top of her soft delicate kissable pink lips whilst scanning the beautifully furnished room with her luminous crimson orbs, then her sight landed on a boy seated on an armchair beside a broken desk that was split into two, wearing the cross academy black uniform.

The chairman's exaggerated sobbing was slowly fading away from Ai's eardrums as she stared at Zero who was currently ignoring the high pitched whining of Cross Kaein and settled on gazing outside the window adjacent to him.

The willowy beauty sat in her place mesmerized by this captivating being that was only two metres away from her. She drank every detail of Zero's statuesque face. He had flawless white skin that complemented his neck length silver hair that was layered on the front which only made his already magnificent bone structure more appealing. His lips and nose were like of a woman, but his eyes, oh! those eyes were the most captivating, and the mixture of lavender and silver had made his whole physic scream "Fierce". Ai still held her position, with her hand on her slightly parted mouth and the other on her lap.

Feeling awkward as if someone was looking at him, Zero slowly turned his head to the left and caught Ai staring at him. The silver haired male didn't bother and just shrugged it off 'Tch it's just a girl with red ey- Whaaaaat?' Upon realising what he had just mentally told himself, Zero immediately took a double take before settling in just glaring at the raven haired girl to send her a non-verbal threat but unluckily it didn't work against the stoic girl with florescent crimson eyes, who in his opinion was devoid of all emotions. Ai did not falter at the sight of Zero giving her his infamous 'Stop-it-or-you'll-regret-it' glare that always made every girl in the school shrink in fear.

Ai faintly blushed as she lowered her hand from her lips and placed it on her lap but still did not break away from the eye contact she have with Zero. On the other hand Zero was still trying to send chills down her spine, but not even a single twitch of an eye was made, just a faint blush. After a minute and a half the silver haired boy found himself drawn to this girls appeal, his eyes travelled to her flawless porcelain skin, untouched by any impurities but was tainted with a faint tinge of pink; to her perfectly shaped nose and kissable marshmallow pink lips; down to her waist length hair that was so black it made the midnight sky turn envious and made the moon incomparable to the shine it holds; lastly her luminous crimson eyes, that was slightly covered by her fringe, surpasses that of Kuran Kaname's red orbs. To Zero this girl was the perfect example of a living doll, he even suspected that this new student might not even be human. 'Perhaps she's a vampire?' he questioned himself mentally, whilst narrowing his eyes. 'No, that can't be right. If she was, then the chairman should admit her to the night class instead of the day class, and I'm pretty sure even if the chairman is too gay for his own good, he hasn't gone mad enough to admit vampires into the day class. I hate to say it but I trust that lunatic bastard.' The white eyed teen never tore his gaze away from Ai's docile doll like face.

Meanwhile Cross Kaein has no clue on the on going staring competition between Ai and Zero since he was so preoccupied on begging for forgiveness, he hadn't noticed Ai neglecting him.

"All of it was my fault you can blame it on my A.D.D. I'm sorry! I've been in this position for over seven minutes now, I might get osteoporosis. Have mercy!!" wailed the chairman. He couldn't understand why Ai had not spoken a single word, nor made a gesture to signal that he was forgiven, so he lifted his head up and found Ai sat up straight on her place staring at something ahead of her. The curious blonde followed her eyes to where they were directed at, 'Zero?' he also noticedZero staring back at her 'so these two have been engaged into a staring competition while I was in the process in gaining a hump on my back'. The chairman then decided that it was time to break the glare-a-thon.

"Ooooohhh… what do we have here? Is this LOVE at first sight!" he squealed, emphasising the word love.

Both teens suddenly nudged as if they were shocked by a high voltage wire, and directed their glare towards the chairman.

"tee-hee" the blonde idiot covered his mouth to hide the cheeky grin he was sponsoring. If looks could kill both Ai and Zero would have the chairman six feet under by now. "Ahem-Ahem, now that I got your full attention, let us get down to business."

The chairman went on about the rules and regulations of the academy constantly reminding Ai that the moon dorms are off limits and the school is not accessible when the night class are using the academy. After what seemed like the longest ten minutes of her life Ai was glad that the blonde buffoon was finished rambling.

"Lastly"

'Oh, great another essay' Ai rolled her eyes looking elsewhere.

"This is Kiryuu Zero one of the school prefects he will be your buddy and tour guide for a week making sure we are well accustomed to the school lifestyle." Zero gave a small nod and stood up of his seat.

"My name is Enma Ai nice to meet you" she greeted. Zero just gave another bow and motioned her to follow him.

"Oh, welcome to Cross Academy, Enma-san I hope you enjoy your stay"

Ai then gave a small bow and left the room together with Zero. Feeling a little awkward Ai let the silver hair boy walk a step ahead of her, she felt that this person was anti-social just by looking at his frowning face. On the other hand Zero was itching to ask her a question but stopped himself, thinking that he would embarrass the girl. The tension was growing thicker and one of them was contemplating on making the first move since both were in the same page on being anti-social, one of them had to swallow their pride.

"We're not going straight to class" Zero made the first move then noticed Ai stare up at him in confusion

"Eh?"

"Well you have been unconscious for an hour and the chairman had to explain all the rules to you, surely both of us are late for class."

"Oh, O-Okie" Ai stuttered.

'Oh great the girl stutters, how annoying. To think I have to put up with this for a week, but hey she's quiet, I guess it would do?' thought Zero looking at her from the corner of his eye. 'and she blushes a lot'. They turned to the next corridor and that lead to the second floor where a hand full of students were out of their lessons for some unknown reason. Zero then felt that every single student was staring towards his direction he just shrugged the matter off and proceeded to descend down the first floor. There the mass of students increased and hundred pairs of eyes were staring at him, or what's behind him? Zero turned around to see Ai burning red and found that she was tugging down her skirt and crushing her book bag on top of her chest. Feeling sorry for the new girl and the string of unfortunate events that had happened to her in the last three hours, Zero did the only thing he can think of and for sure this act of kindness will make a huge buzz around the school.

"Here" he extended out his holding out his Cross academy black blazer for Ai to wear.

"U-Uhm.. T-thank you b-but I think i-it won't be n-necessary." Ai looked up at Zero and felt heat rise up to her face once again.

"Just take it!!" demanded Zero, without another word Ai swiftly took the blazer into her hand, stared at it for a while then slid inside. The crimson eyed beauty felt a little less exposed since Zero's blazer was twice her size, the blazer reached up a little above her knee and the sleeves four inches longer.

"A-arigatou Kiryyu –san" Ai bowed giving him a faint smile.

"Tch.. just give it to me at the end of the day" Zero walked off, ignoring the fact that he knew very well that the school will come out with a new rumour, he can see it now 'Prefect dating new girl with big assets' or 'Man hater decides to give love a chance.' Predicting that these kinds of assumptions would occur, Zero decided to take action and grabbed Ai's wrist then dragged her outside the campus and straight towards the forest. Ai on the other hand felt like her hand was loosing blood from Zero's grip but assumed that if she complains the hot headed teen would just ignore her. They stopped in front of a stable where a grey horse was stationed there eating comfortably, Zero released Ai's hand and walked towards the pile of hay and laid there with his arms up behind his head. Meanwhile Ai just stared at the horse while rubbing her numb hand.

"Sit" said Zero, it was more like an order than a request, so Ai quickly scanned the setting and found a place to sit in then sat under a tree that was just beside Zero. The raven haired girl leaned on the tree behind her whilst she was in a mermaid sitting position, they were quiet for quite sometime but then she found herself feeling uncomfortable, she took a glance at Zero then spotted him staring at her.

"You, what's wrong with your eyes?" Zero couldn't handle it anymore and just had to ask, as he expected the crimson eyed girl blushed and bowed her head.

"A-ano, it's a g-genetic d-disorder" she lied averting her gaze elsewhere.

"I don't like it" he replied monotonously.

"I'm s-sorry, I'll g-go wear m-my contact l-lenses." Ai rummaged through her bag and found two circular plastic containers joined together and opened it. She tilted her head up and opened her eyes using her index finger and middle finger placing the scale like lenses in her eyes. When Ai was finished she blinked a couple of times making sure that the lenses were positioned properly, she looked at Zero who was watching her put on the lenses.

"I'll sleep for a while wake me up when the day class ends" said Zero with a satisfied tone.

"But w-we still got c-class"

"Forget about it just go tomorrow, I'll make up an excuse to the chairman." With that said Ai found it hard to argue since she didn't mind skipping class for the whole day and besides she didn't want to face those molesting two faced hypocrites that she will soon be calling classmates.

"Okei."

Ai had begun to feel her eyes close indicating that she was sleepy then surrendered to her bodies demand and drifted off to sleep.

The night class are not your ordinary nocturnal teenagers they are far more than that. They are a legion of noble class vampires who seek pacifism just like their pureblood king and dorm president, Kuran Kaname. The pureblood vampire have always been promoting pacifism between vampires and humans alike, that is why together with the chairman he built this school to train vampires to live along side humans but even though he had fought hard for this pacifism to come true, half of the vampire population still believes on segregating humans, so he needed the help of other vampires to be an active member as well.

Inside his office Kuran Kaname sat relaxed on his luxurious thrown like chair whilst playing chess with his child hood friend and vice-president, Ichijou Takuma. While playing both teens were discussing about the current issue concerning the vampire society.

"What do you think Kaname? Who do you think is doing this?" asked Ichijou, while deciding which one of his pieces is going to move.

"It is obvious that it's not a natural death considering those four vampire who died with a heart attack were either a tyrant or they committed a genocide killing a substantial amount of humans " replied Kaname making his move on the chess board.

"Six vampires, 4 died with heart attack 2 disappeared and they all died one after the other. Weird" Takuma moved his piece again regardless of the fact that he didn't have a clue on what he was doing since he was to busy making assumptions on. "Checkmate. I win again Ichijou" Kaname leaned on his chair and tilted his head up. "All I know is we're not dealing with a human"

Knock! Knock!

"You may come in." greeted Kaname's soft velvety voice.

"Good afternoon Kuran-sama, I have a letter for Ichijou Takuma-sama" the maid bowed in front of Kaname before going inside, towards Takuma and proceeded on giving him his letter. "Good afternoon Ichijou-sama, I have another telegram for you."

"Arigatou Maya-chan" thanked Takuma with his usual cheery voice as he watched the maid's retreating back before opening the letter.

"That's the 18th letter you received for this month, neh Ichijou?" eyed Kaname curiously.

"Hai! Hai!" replied Ichijou who was still smiling while reading the letter but deep inside he was having an internal monologue. 'Kaname's right my mother just won't stop sending letters not until I make something productive to promote pacifism between humans and vampires and she even told my grandmother to join in. Sigh, last month I received 23 letters and now I think it's going to be twice the amount. I need to think of something.' The usually happy blonde sighed and looked out at the window where the sun dorms are visible from his line of view. 'What should I do?'

"What's the matter Ichijou? I'm not used to hearing you sigh." Kaname sounded calm but Ichijou knew that behind that relaxed voice means he demands an answer.

"Its nothing serious Kaname, it's just my mother and grandmother are worried about me." he lied but half of it was true, ten percent of the letter was his mother asking 'are you all right there?'; 'do take care of yourself'; 'do you need more clothes?' and lastly 'do you have enough underwear' then as he gradually starts to get in the end of the letter his mother starts to charge him with pacifism stuff and lecture him about being Kaname's right hand man and most importantly not to F*CK up.

"Oh, well you won't be sighing for long the day class girls will brighten up your day" Kaname stood up from his seat gathering his books from the book shelf.

"Hmmm… the day class girls" said Ichijou still staring outside the window. Then an idea was suddenly conjured by his brain cells. 'That's it! The day class girls.' Following Kaname's actions, Ichijou stood up from his chair returning back to his normal exuberant state. "See you later Kaname, I need to change now. Thanks"

"Bye" seeing Ichijou jump back to his normal cheerful self, Kaname couldn't understand how he does it then wondered what was with the sudden express of gratitude.

After getting dressed into his uniform, Ichijou went straight outside the moon dorms gates where all the night class assemble before going to the academy. Upon arriving he spotted another blonde haired vampire who was as always hyperactive and was front of the line waiting for the gates to open and greet his beloved fans. He went to stand beside the Aidou together with his cousin and greeted them.

"Hello mina-san"

"Vice-president what made you decide to come at front?" asked Aidou, smoothing his hair.

"Oh, nothing? Why is it wrong for me to come at the front?" Ichijou made a pouty face and looked at Akatsuki.

"No, you're usually at the back" said Akatsuki

"Oh, eheheh, change of routine."

Kaname appeared in front of the gates where Yuuki was on the other side controlling the day class girls and the sounds of girls "kya-ing" and shouting "Idol-sempai" was heard in their end.

"Are you ready everyone" smiled Kaname.

"Hai Kaname-sama" all the night class replied in chorus.

The two oak doors opened and the rays of the setting sun had reached their eyes but they still remained stoic and began to walk to the academy. Ichijou held his head up and eyed the girls surrounding them and whispered to himself.

"I need a perfect candidate"
