Orange Petals
Chapter 1

A/N: Hi there, this my first fanfic...so nervous. Anyways I'll be doing author's notes like this on almost every story, sometimes I get caught up with writing the story. Okay, um warning you from now I write in England's manner so yeah...just wanted to point that out. Ooh, so nervous. This is a ZeroxKaname fanfiction, Zero as the seme. Uh..I'll have more things to say at the bottom but for now leave reviews please and DO NOT flame.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vampire Knight, if I did Yuki wouldn't have existed in that show. On that note let's get on with the story ^^'\


The wind blew gently against my hair as I sat in the grass. Steadily I plucked the burning orange petals of the flower. I don't remember its name but, I've seen it before at so it radiates such a peaceful and melancholic beauty of its own. Then again maybe it's just a regular pretty flower. Reaching for another petal I noticed that they were all plucked off, leaving the flower bare.

Another gust of wind lifted the petals into the sky and let them dance into the distance. Sighing I got up and brushed off my clothes, it was sunset which meant it was time for classes. As I maneuvered my way through the forest I heard an extra footstep matching mine when I paused at a tree. I picked up my paces and heard the footsteps start to try and match my speed, interesting. Then I abruptly stopped and turned to where the sound was coming from.

"You can come out. I already know that you're there." I said as if I knew who it was. Soon the silhouette of a male's build moved from behind a tree and stepped into the light. The stranger turned out to be a certain silver haired vampire, vampire hunter himself.
So Kiryuu was following me? A small smile formed on my face at the sight of him, he seemed irritated by my smile.

"The hell are you smiling at?" he snarled. I shook my head, smile still on my face.

"It's nothing. But why are you stalking me, Kiryuu?"

"Don't be so full of yourself. I'm only doing my job in making sure you don't run off somewhere."

"And do what? Kill someone? I'm above doing that...unlike you maybe." I turned away from him and started to walk.

"What did you say!"

"I'm sure that I said it clear enough for you to hear from where you are." I said as I half-hopped over a branch.

"Stuck up piece of..." I heard him mutter under his breath.

There was a crowd of fangirls crowding the sides of the night class and myself. As usual Hanabusa indulged them with kisses and winks, Yuki just blew her whistle harshly and frantically tried to keep them behind the perimeter. Kiryuu, just looked at me with his cold, hate filled stare. I was used to that look by now. Though it seems more intense today, did I strike a nerve with my comment? Probably not, I was just stating the facts and he should be mature enough to deal with it.


I sat on my bed trying to solve one of the most complex math problems I've ever faced. It was in my weak area of the subject as well: integers. Sighing in defeat I got up to go and ask Akatsuki for some help, he might know how to help me. As soon as I grasped the doorknob I heard some things crash by my open window. On the floor lay Kiryuu, gasping as he gripped his throat and eyes red with blood lust.

Staring at him for a moment I helped him to his feet and placed him on the bed then went to the bathroom for a wet rag. He hissed at the coolness of it being placed against his head. The only reason I'm doing this is to calm down so that he won't ravage me for blood. His breathing soon regulated somewhat and I then moved the collar of my shirt down to show my bare neck to him. He stared at it for a while then pushed me down on the bed as he licked the skin and bit into into it.

For some reason he shivered as he took in the blood, I gently rubbed his back. He licked away the excess blood from my neck and wiped his mouth but still stayed on top of me. I was still rubbing his back so I guess, he probably wanted me to stop so he could get up. I halted my comforting movements and placed my arms to my side.

"Why did you stop?" he asked quietly.

"Huh?" I cocked my head slightly at that.

"N-nothing. Forget about it, I'm leaving." he hastily got up off of me and leapt out the window. Slowly I got up and looked at the window, that boy is a living enigma. Looking around the room for my mathematics notebook I noticed that the wet rag I used on Kiryuu was gone...he took it with him? Odd, oh well he will have to realize that he took it at some point and give it back to me.


A/N: I feel smarter for writing like Kaname, teehee. I'll also be writing in Zero's POV for the next chapter so expect some profanity. Wow this chapter is short, this was longer in my Notes app on the iPod. Oh well, please leave reviews and I'll try and respond. Remember flames are never appreciated and if I find any they shall be stomped out by evil bunnies.

Also quirky question for the chapter (I'll try to do this with each chapter update):

What would happen if Fred was in Higurashi? Respond in your reviews ^^.
