Chapter 1: Introduction

Zero's POV:

The night was still but for a small breeze that swept through the Academy grounds. I would love nothing more than a little action tonight though. My fingers were itching to pull the trigger on my Bloody Rose but, as luck would have it they were all in class being good little vampires tonight. With the lack of excitement I changed course and headed for the stables.

On my way I was careful not to run into the other school guardian or perfect as everyone calls us. Yuki Cross was the other perfect, the headmaster's adopted daughter and my adopted sister. She always complained that I was slacking when it came to my prefect duties but in reality nothing ever really happened. But If she was ever in danger I'd be there. If worse came to worse and I was a danger or unable to help, that damn Kuran would be there no doubt.

Kuran was her savior ten years ago and that damn girl won't let any one forget it. She's infatuated with him and I'm pretty sure everyone knows of her crush on her dear Kaname. But what no one knows is that innocent and slightly ditsy girl has a part of my heart. Sure i don't wear my feelings on my sleeve, but how could I when she has eyes for only him. Not to mention that she only thinks of me as her brother anyway.

I've been a student here at Cross Academy for the last four years; ever since my former master found me that fateful day. I have but two friends, one being a horse of course, but I'm strangely i'm ok with that.

I spend most of my time asleep in class, in White Lily's stall, or on patrol. Any down time I have, I'm hunting Level E's for the Hunter Association or fighting my own vampiric desires. I fight twice as hard because the blood substitute that those beasts in the Moon Dorm use don't work on me. Whether it's because I'm a Level D and falling or because fate is just that cruel I'm unsure of. The only time I've ever tried the blood tablets my body rejected them in such a horrible way.

After spending an unknown amount of time retching up that vile concoction, I lay there in the bathroom. My body withered in pain and I felt as if I was burning from the inside out. I tried for so long to hide the monster I was from her, but she refused to leave my side. The thirst became so unbearable that I bit into my unsuspecting victim without much thought. But the beast within can never be quenched and thats why even when Yuki begged for her life, I held on until the end. Unfortunately for me or maybe it was fortunate, cause not long after she started to faint Kaname busted in and saved her. Guess that was his job, saving her from low level vampires who lost or in my case are losing control of their sanity.

Ever since then I've drunk only from him. While I hated to admit I needed blood or even him for that matter I really did crave his delicious Pureblood. The way it would slide smoothly down my throat and quench the burning ache in my throat and stop those painful stomach cramps. The way he would force me to drink was strangely erotic-wait did I just think of Kuran and erotic in the same sentence? Shaking my head I tried to clear it of these crazy thoughts as I lay in the hay next to Lily.

Of course now that I've thought of him and his blood I realized just how long it's been since I've had any. As if right on que my fangs start to throb and my throat starts to ache with need. Along with the burn in my throat, my stomach starts to spasm. Although I was vampire, White Lily had no problems with me. I'd raised her since birth so she's at least used to me but other vampires stir all the horses up. Hell, humans make her crazy. If it weren't for me they might have put her down already because she won't let anyone near her.

Sensing my struggle Lily nips at my hair but it does nothing to calm the hunger. The other horses start to stir now as if they sense I might be a threat now, which of course I am but not to them. Hands gripping the hay, head bowed I try to compose myself. I need to at least make it to my dorms where I know I wont be a threat at least until this first bought of hunger passes. Stumbling I try to stand but when the next wave of hunger claims me I'm on my knees again.

Thats when I noticed that I'm no longer alone in the barn. Judging by the shoes I can tell that fate has smiled down on me for it's not Yuki but before I can sigh in relief my hunter senses scream vampire. I'm reaching for my Bloody Rose when I realize I must have dropped it back in the hay. Cursing my luck I look up at the intruder. As our eyes meet I swear I see his soften just a second before he sneers down at me.

"Well, Kiryu it seems you've waited as long as possible again to feed. Is my blood really that awful?" He asks with mock hurt.

"Why do you insist on doing this hmmm? Are you trying to get someone killed when you can no longer hold on because you're too stubborn to ask for blood? Or maybe you were hoping to bite into my dear sweet Yuki again? You know I wont allow that to happen again wether she wants you to live will no longer matter to me at that point."

He glared down at me distastefully.

"As if I'm scared of you Kuran or even death for that matter."

He must have been in a bad mood already because instead of our usual arguing and taunts he gripped me by my hair. Yanking me up to my knees he sneered at me before thrusting my nose to his neck.

"Bite," Was all he said and at that point it was all the encouragement I needed. Wasting no time I licked his soft skin in preparation for what I was about to do.

Since when did I care if he was comfortable when I sank my fangs in? It's his own fault for forcing me if he has pain. And when did I even worry about how soft his skin was of course it would be its the neck area.

But as he pushed me closer, urging me to drink, all thoughts were lost as my fangs sank in. As soon as they broke through his skin I swallowed big greedy draughts. I heard a muffled moan, but if it was pain I was unsure. Trying to be more gentle, I slowed my speed, savoring that delicious coppery taste. Sweet with a sharp tang at the end kind of like him. This time I think I might have moaned as I pushed my fangs further in.

Nearly a minute later he was tugging my hair signaling that my time was up. Removing my fangs I liked the tiny holes closed as I gathered the remaining drops on his skin. I leaned back and wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.

Looking up I realized I was all alone. The thanks stuck in my throat. Just when I try to be nice he goes and acts like an ass. Shaking my head, I stand up and brush off my clothes. Night classes are almost over so I head back. Almost immediately after I get there Yuki is on my case.

"Zero where were you! Did you even do any patrols?" she glared at me then, probably already thinking of all the ways I could have been slacking off.

Scratching the back of my head I said, "Well I'm here now so it doesn't really matter, right?" Wrong. She stomped over to me and punched my arm, which surprisingly hurt. Just then The Night Class exited, saving me from any more of her abuse. Glancing up, I notice the Pureblood is not among them. I released the breath I didn't know I was holding in. We escorted them back to their dorms with little mishap. Outside their Dorm I couldn't help but glance at his window. Big mistake. It seems he had been watching our procession and just when our eyes met, he dropped the curtain back in place. Staring for a few extra seconds I turn back to look at Yuki but it seems she has already left. Stuffing my hands in my trouser pockets I head back to my own dorms. Opening the door I opt out of a shower just going straight to my bed and not bothering with clothes or even a blanket. As soon as my head hits the pillows I'm out like a light. Today was draining and I'm glad that its Friday.
