This is my first story of Vampire Knight, Its Ichijo (Takuma) X OC, her name's Ouka, its pronounced Oh-Kah and I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 1: Ouka, Time to stop running
There comes a time when a secret must be told, a hiding must stop, and if it comes to it, a fight must be fought. Destiny holds you in place it tells you what is in store for you and what's going to happen in your future, the only thing you can do is choose the journey to your destiny. That's what my Mother told me anyway. And so far my journey has taken me to the weirdest places imaginable. For example right now. In the back of a blue taxi, grey stained ripped seats and the smell of cigarette's hanging in the air and the driver humming to the tunes on the radio. Cross Academy was my stop and I had at least a twenty minute journey left. The light from the sun didn't fill the cab and it wasn't warm sitting in the back, but I liked it the sun irritated me.
I had a small strand of my long straight dirty blond hair wrapped around my finger trying to entertain myself watching as some dried blood crumbled from it, not my blood but my cousin, Kimie, meaning, the picture of benevolence. Yes it was her blood that was dried in my hair as I had held her lifeless body in my arms before it shattered and she was no more. Under my nails was the blood of my mother as I had run to protect her only being too late and finding her body crumpled and then destroyed just as I skidded to my knees. Yes my family had been killed, and I am left.
Outside was a small quite unique town. The buildings where almost the style of those in the Mediterranean, small balcony's, gridded windows, practically orange and flower pots hanging from every window, it would be nice to stay in one of them especially if I shared it with someone who was happy to be with me.
Cross Academy, a school where humans and vampires peacefully coexist. An interesting an idea seeming who the headmaster is. But it's not Kaien Cross I'm here to see, I'm here, or at least when I get there, I will be going to see, Kaname Kuran, a Pure Blood vampire. "We'll be there in about five minute's ma'am" The Driver notified me and I saw his almost grey eye's look up into the rear view mirror and I nodded to him. Seeing myself, my brown trilby covering the top half of my head and the collar of my light brown trench coat covering up even more of my face, but yet I must have thought that my face needed to be covered up even more as I had dark black sunglasses covering my eyes and my hair shaped around my face, you could make out the tip of my nose and my pinkish lips, that was it. But I was quite glad for that fact, the sun annoyed me and I was easily burned.
My skinny hands where gently placed on my black jean covered knees as I started to get impatient. I wanted to start now, I want to stop hiding, to stop running to stop everything that had been happening and reveal to the vampire society that I, Ouka Dazia, am the last Pure Blood in the Dazia Line.
The story of my family is long and quite interesting. It started years ago with my grandfather and grandmother, they were the oldest Pure Blood's known and we were a special set of Pure Blood's but that's not the story I'm telling right now. The Dazia Family where the purest of vampires and we were even more powerful than the Kuran's, Me myself am more powerful than Kaname but my Family didn't want anything to do with the monarchy so we gave the role of ruling to The Kuran's a family we were very close to and trusted well. Years after to the vampire world my Grandparents and their Daughters 'died' in an accidental fire, Fire's not actually known to kill a vampire, but when there's a burned down mansion and no one mentions any survivors escaping you have to assume the worst. They went into hiding and within a matter of years my mother had me she told me my father was a Pure Blood but never told me who he was, I inherited a very useful power, I can 'Borrow' an Aristocrat or Pure Blood's power and then return it when I wish, but I do not have to give it back, I can keep it for myself and leave the Aristocrat or Pure Blood powerless, quite handy I think. I have other powers but that is probably my best and most dangerous. Years of hiding had come to an end two days ago when the Senate found us and realised we had been lying for years, Instead of forcing us to come back into society they brutally slaughtered my grandfather and then played chase with my Grandmother, Auntie and Mother, keeping me and cousin, Kimie, tied up to watch. What they didn't realise is that Kimie had the ability to move objects with her mind, untying a rope was a child's task to her we ran to our mothers but she was slaughter and I caught her she smiled at me just before her body was no longer. I ran after seeing my Mother die. I didn't think these hunters where from the senate but I ran to Kaname anyway.
"Here we are." The taxi driver pulled me from my thoughts and I looked up to see the entrance to Cross Academy. "Now my money" He demanded and I looked at him, he shivered in fear he didn't even have to see my eye's to know to be scared.
"Yes here" I whispered quickly and handed over the seventeen pounds I owed him. "Thanks" I mumbled as I opened the door and stepped out slowly. Arriving through the day was probably not the smartest of things to do but none of the night class would be awake and I could get straight to Kaname. But this sun, why today, did it have to be so bright.
I opened the gates and heard the mumbled talking and within a second of me turning onto the school grounds everyone went silent I walked through the frozen crowd. Having every eye on me was not a comforting feeling, my stiletto heels hit of the tiled path and everyone gasped as I walked. I walked out of the crowd and the murmuring started again, now able to run as fast as I could to get away and out of the damned sun! It was hot today and I was covered up well, I was scared of getting burned.
Before I could get to the moon Dormitory I had to get past the wall, it was a big wall, Obstacles, why, why was there so many obstacles to get to the dorm! I looked up to the top of the wall, I could easily jump over it, but what if I as seen by one of the day class students, I mean I could have been followed or some of them could be trying to see the night class I mean it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, we vampires where incredibly beautiful. There where tree's I could climb and get up that way that would make me seem a little more human but it was still a jump that not any ordinary human could do. "Hey You!" I heard someone shout from behind me, a male voice, a teenage boy's voice.
"Zero! Please be polite" A younger girl's voice snapped behind me as well. Zero Kiryu, Kaname mentioned him before, that girl must be Yuki. The Kuran's and the Dazia's where close Families and Kaname was born a day after me, I was put in touch with Kaname when we were five and we never lost touch after that, when we were eight Kaname told me I was his best friend and that he wished I could meet Takuma Ichijo, someone who was now like me a best friend to him. Because I kept in touch with Kaname I know who Yuki truly is. The Daughter of the Kuran's although I am the only one who knows that. Zero on the other hand, has been portrayed to me as a right pain in the neck, or at least that's how Kaname puts him.
"Zero and Yuki I assume?" I ask smiling slightly as I turn around I try to sound innocent but I am way too tired to pull it off.
"How Do you know our names Vampire?" Zero, Silver hair and lavender eye's Skin so incredibly pale and a Bloody Rose gun pointed in my direction. A Bloody Rose Gun…A Bloody Rose Gun.
"Please put that down!" I whisper these gun's while would not kill me would inflict a lot of pain and would remove my ability to heal properly.
"Answer my question first" Zero Tilted his head and glared, he was nothing like I imagined him. But…He's a…A vampire, wielding a vampire Hunter's weapon but how? But this is my advantage I am superior to him.
"I don't need to answer to you boy, I am you superior now put the Gun down vampire" I stand up tall and proud again, I move forward. "Just because you're a guardian at this school does not mean you get to point a Bloody Rose Gun at a Pure Blood" I growl and he was taken aback. His eye's widened as I took another step forward.
"Zero please put the gun away" The Brown haired girl urged and grabbed his arm and pushed it to his side.
"You are not Superior to me!" He snapped and the girl shook her head as she held his arm down.
"Oh Please" I Smile but still showing him I'm serious. "Now let me into the moon dormitory or I will make a scene in front of all those day class Boys crowding up around there" I laugh and point to where there are a bunch of day class Boys who were obviously interested in seeing who I was.
"No need to make threats, just tell me your name, we're the disciplinary committee so you can trust us" She smiled kindly and stepped in between me and Zero I smiled down at her.
"I'm Ouka, I suppose that Kaname never mentioned me did he?" I asked still smiling as we turned to walk to the gates leading into the moon dormitory, Yuki shook her head and looked up at me "well I suppose he wouldn't, technically I'm not even alive." I laugh remembering that fact that I was not alive and my hunters could not track me well.
"Well I'm sure he explain it to us later" Yuki smiled and turned back to look at Zero who's arms where crossed and was glaring at the ground.
"I hope he will, I have been his friend for many years" I whisper, Kaname Kuran…..My only ally now.
"Well I'm sure Takuma will take care of you" Yuki smiled and opened the gate for me, really all I had to do was grab onto the gate and open it, no elaborate lock system nothing, nothing at all?
"Takuma? You mean Takuma Ichijo? I have wanted to meet him for some time now" I smile at her and nod my head appreciably.
The air rushed past me as I ran the length to get to the door of the moon dormitory. I easily and quickly jumped up the stairs and opened the door of the moon dormitory, I was overwhelmed by how dark it was only a small light on a table beside an armchair was allowing light to be in the room. The big looking arm chair was occupied, wavy blond hair sitting messily on top of a boy's head with glimmering green eye's peering over the top of a book, MeruPuri, from the looks of things we're at the same bit roughly. "Eh, can I help you, I'm Takuma Ichijo, vice dorm president" He stood up and smiled at me, it was a gentle smile and just by that I was encouraged to walk forward. So he was Takuma Ichijo, Kaname's Friend, and his vice president, and he was…Cute…yes that was the right word. I raised my hands and took my sunglasses off, undid my jacket and slid it off I threw it over my arm and shook my head to make my hair sit properly. But I didn't let my trilby fall of, it was my favourite hat, something my grandmother had given me, only a few months ago, and now she had been killed mercilessly
"Ouka Dazia, I would really like to talk to Kaname Kuran." I smiled he motioned his hand towards the couch beside the arm chair and I smiled thankful that I was finally able to talk to someone other than a brute vampire (or a vampire hunter depending who wanted to track me down) or an idiotic human, like the taxi driver.
"Well Ouka, you must be tired and Kaname has been called away for the week your welcome to stay here as long as you like as long as the headmaster knows your here of course" I smiled and took his offered hand as I sat down.
"Thank you, I will stay if that's okay." I smiled and took my hand from his. I was so tired the temptation to just curl up and sleep on the couch was so very tempting. "I should probably tell you that you, all the day class students and Yuki and Zero are the only people who know I'm here the headmaster does not know of my arrival" I whispered starting to fade away into a sleep
"Of course it's okay, Yuki and Zero are probably away to go and talk to the headmaster right now, I'm sure he will have no objects so feel free to join us at the night class it may be an interesting new experience for you." he suggested with a smile and sat down beside me and looking at me. Unable to contain it any more, I yawned and started blinking so desperately trying to stay awake just for a little while, I wanted to see his soft and happy face a little more, he was a refreshing sight. "But for now I'll take you to the spare room. Don't you have any luggage not even a bag?" He asked as I rested my head in his shoulder, I'm not sure what it is with him but he was just so welcoming and comforting it was hard not to instantly trust him.
"Nothing, I have a story to why but I'm a bit too tired to even attempt to tell you..." I yawned and felt his arms slide round my back and under my legs and slowly he lifted me up I instantly curled myself into him, he was a sweet kind boy and I trusted him now...Ichijo...
He was nice to have him holding me after the days I had just been through, to feel safe, strong, caring arms holding me again, gave me peace. When I wake though, I may not be as nice as I am right now. "Thank You Ichijo, I appreciate you helping me. I am only a stranger after all." I whisper and I feel him hold me tighter pressing me into his chest.
"Ouka, you are a Pure Blood vampire, I can sense that. I want to make you feel as welcome as I can." He whispered in reply to my comment. His arms made me feel so secure, and I did not resist him like I would all others who tried to touch me. Takuma Ichijo is a completely different story.
"I have never been treated like I am a Pure Blood I don't expect special treatment now!" I grumble angrily as he holds me. But it true, I have been treated like a common vampire by everyone, Ichijo is the first person to every recognise me being a Pure Blood before I had to tell him? That's the special thing about my family, no one can tell that we're Pure Blood's unless they have smelt or tasted our blood, that's why it was so easy for us to go into hiding as no one expected us to be Pure Bloods. Takuma Ichijo is special. That I am sure of.
