Hey! I've been trying to decide whether or not I wanted to post this story up yet, since I'm just starting to write the first chapter. I know many of you have been waiting for Love and Revenge to be updated, which seems like an impossible task. I'm trying, though! I'll try as hard as I can to write the next few chapters, so you don't hate me :)!

Summary: Mikan Sakura has been assigned on a mission by the Dangerous Abilities advisor, Persona, and the elementary school principle, Ryuu. But it's not just any mission, this one is a long-term mission—and by long-term, they mean a very long time. Her mission is to "enroll" in the private Cross Academy, and watch over the Night Class. She's told that the Night Class has a very dangerous secret that must be kept at all costs, just like the existence of alices must not be known. Mikan has to make sure that the Night Class behaves themselves, and keep the AAO away, who are out to kill them. Mikan meets new friends—and old ones. Who knew her childhood friend went to Cross Academy? What's more, two other people she knows don't even remember her? What's going on? And how does Mikan know someone from Cross Academy?

+Prologue+

"I'm leaving?"

"Mikan Sakura, please report to the Headmaster's office. I repeat: Mikan Sakura, please report to the Headmaster's office." The intercom buzzed loudly.

The classroom turned quiet as every head turned to look at the brunette who sighed and stood up, picking up her bag in the process. One of the students stepped out of the croud and stopped her from leaving with a question.

"Mission, Mikan?" It was Kokoroyomi, the mind-reader. His face was grim, and his voice full of worry. Mikan glanced at him, noticing his expression, and nodded. He narrowed his eyes a bit, but said nothing more.

The room was dead silent, and everyone looked sad. Mikan already had a hint of what the mission was about, but seeing their depressed faces, she just couldn't bring herself to tell them. She'd used her alice of sight to find out what she'd be doing. "Sorry, guys. Looks like I'll be gone for a bit.. again. But don't worry, the mission isn't really that hard. I'll be fine!" Mikan lied. She felt an icy glare behind her and turned around to find Natsume staring at her, looking really annoyed. Mikan already knew what he was going to say, but she let him say it anyway.

"You know what the mission is, don't you? Where are you going?! You're just going to accept it, aren't you.." His sentence trailed off as her features turned cold.

"Yes, Natsume. I know where I'm going, and I know exactly what I'll be doing. The alice of sight can actually be useful sometimes. Too bad I'm not going to tell you anything. Yes, I'm just going to accept it. I'd eventually be sent on this particular mission, anyway. This day would have come sooner or later.." She paused, "..whether I like it or not." Mikan whispered the last part, but Natsume caught it.

"What do you mean, whether you like it or not?" The room started to grow warm, but Mikan didn't notice it because of her nullification alice. "Why do you have to go, anyway? Is there some reason that you were chosen, instead of someone else?" 'Like me?' Natsume thought.

"Yes, there is a reason I was chosen instead of someone else. You don't need to know anymore than that. I can't tell you how long it will last, okay? You'll find out later, when I'm actually on the mission. Now if you don't mind, I'm pretty sure the Headmaster is getting a bit impatient. See you later." With that, she walked toward the door, and sure enough, the intercom came on again.

"Mikan Sakura, please report to the Headmaster's office. I repeat: Mikan Sakura, please report to the Headmaster's office."

Mikan smirked and teleported, knowing it would take too long to walk there.

The Headmaster's Office..

Knock. Knock.

"Enter." Mikan opened the door and stepped in, closing it behind her.

"You wanted to see me, Headmaster." Mikan bowed her head respectively, and then walked up to the desk, noticing two other people waiting beside the Headmaster: Persona and the elementary principle, Ryuu.

"Oh please, do call me Kaito. Headmaster sounds too formal, Mikan-chan." Headmaster Kaito smiled. "Now, as you probably already know, I've called you here for an important mission. I'll have Principle Ryuu explain, as he is the one who made this decision." He nodded to the elementary principle, who was staring at Mikan emotionlessly.

"This mission won't be like any other you've been assigned to before. First of all, you'll work alone. You are, after all, the strongest Black Op we have, so it would make no sense to pair you with someone weaker than you. This will be a long-term mission, instead of the short ones you're used to. You will be gone much longer than a day, or even a week, this time. Do you understand so far?" Ryuu stared at her intently.

Mikan sighed inwardly and nodded. "Yes, Ryuu-san. I understand. You may continue."

"You will 'enroll' in the private Cross Academy boarding school as a 'Night Class' student. This time you will use your real name, because we can't have the Chairman getting suspicious. The Chairman's name is Kaien Cross, and he will be waiting for you in his office when you arrive. You will be entering through the front gate, but no one will be there to guide you. You will have to find the Chairman's office on your own."

"Yes, sir. Continue."

"Since you will be arriving at night, I should warn you: the Night Class will be using the school building so you must be careful not to make them suspicious of you. The Night Class has a dangerous secret that you must protect at all costs."

"What is that, sir?"

"The Night Class.. consists entirely of vampires." Mikan's eyes widened a bit.

"Vampires, sir? I thought they didn't exist." Mikan regained her cool, and she glanced at the Headmaster. "So you're telling me, that the mythical, bloodsucking monsters—vampires, exist?"

The Headmaster answered her before Ryuu. "Yes, they do, Mikan-chan." He smiled again. "But these vampires aren't 'blood-sucking monsters', as you call them. The ones you are referring to would be classified as Level E vampires. There are five levels of vampires. Do you think you can handle this?"

Mikan turned her gaze to the Headmaster and noticed his serious expression. "Yes, Hea—Kaito. I understand. I'm guessing I'll probably have to know this sooner or later if I'm going on the mission, anyways."

Headmaster Kaito nodded. "The highest level of vampire would be a Level A vampire. These are called 'purebloods'. There is a minority of this kind, but they are very powerful. As their name implies, they have no human blood in them. Only 'purebloods' can change humans into vampires. Next are the Level B vampires. They are called 'nobles'. There are more of this kind of vampire than there are purebloods. Below that are Level C vampires. They are considered ordinary vampires, and most vampires are classified in this group."

"I understand so far, Kaito."

"Good. Now, after Level C vampires, we come to the ones that need to be watched. They are Level D vampires. Level D vampires are vampires who used to be human, but were bitten—and thus changed—by a pureblood vampire. These vampires will eventually fall to Level E unless they drink the blood of the pureblood vampire who bit them. Lastly, the Level E vampires. These are the vampires you consider 'blood-sucking monsters'. They are ex-human vampires who will eventually loose their sanity, unless they have the blood of the pureblood they were bitten by. Thus, that concludes the explanation."

Mikan stood in silence for a few moments before answering. Even though she was able to understand and accept things more than she used to, vampires were a hard thing to accept. Finally, she found her voice. "So, what level are the vampires in the Night Class?"

Persona was the one to answer, before the Headmaster or Ryuu could. "The Night Class has mostly nobles—Level B vampires. However, there is one pureblood among them. His name is Kaname Kuran."

Mikan nodded, showing that she understood. "When will I be leaving, Kaito?" She turned back to the Headmaster.

"You will be leaving tonight, Mikan-chan. We have prepared a bag that contains items you may find useful, and casual Hunter clothes. Before you ask, a Hunter is a vampire hunter. You will need to combine a few of your alices to make it appear as if you are a vampire. You'll even have to give off the aura of a vampire. Even though you'll be in Hunter clothes, the vampires won't question it. Once you change, you will be leaving. I have a map of where you will teleport to. Do not leave any letters for your friends, as they will find out tomorrow in homeroom. That is all—you may go."

Mikan nodded and bowed her head one last time before exiting the office. Only one thought ran through her head as she teleported to her room to get ready:

'I'm coming to see you, Yuki.'

To be continued..

Okay, so I know it's a bit confusing. When Mikan is first told about the vampires at Cross Academy, you get the impression that she never knew they even existed. But at the end, she contradicts that by thinking, 'I'm coming to see you, Yuki.' It will all be cleared up later on in the story. I will tell you this: Mikan knows Yuki, and she has known her for a long time.

+Preview+

"Who are you?"

"Hello, Yuki."

"Mi.. Mikan?!"

"It's been nine years, huh?"

"I missed you.."

"Stay away from her, Yuki."

Until next time....
