Okay, so anyone who read my last sorry excuse for a first chapter you have my thanks, and those of you who reviewed, have my eternal thanks! XD I am trying to think of ideas about where to go with it so please bear with me and wait only a little while longer... *sumimasen!*

Full Summary: It's the last year at Cross Academy. Everyone is antsy, including the vampires and especially Zero. Something huges happens when he comes of age and the Head of the Hunter's Association knows all about it. What's worse is that Kaname is very much involved as well... This story is definately gonna be AU, and Yuuki has not been awakened yet, Rido has not been resurrected and the council is still in power.

SOOOOO... I have good news. I actually know where this one is going to go so no HUNORMOUS long waits for updates... at least that's what I'm shooting for. So here is my first Vampire Knight fic, (I am in LOVE with this manga and MAYBEthe anime) and if you like it drop me a review.

Disclaimer: Vampire Knight is the work of the genius mangaka Matsuri Hio-sensei. I do not and never will own any piece of this wonderful work... though I wish I did :)

Kaname was sitting in class, not paying attention in the least to the lesson. Something about finding the derivative of a logarithm was all he was getting out of the wrinkly old teacher's nasally monotonous voice. He found calculus to be a bore and he didn't really think it had any real-life purpose for him, unless he actually planned on doing something after he left Cross Academy. It's not like he would have to actually work, if you didn't count basically running vampire society because those old fools in the council couldn't do anything without his consent or approval; it was some weird new rule they came up with to keep the public satisfied. They were becoming less and less popular among vampires of late.

The teacher asked Aido to go up to the front and some the problem on the board, which he did without any trouble, or for that matter, without actually listening to the lecture, the genius that he was. Kaname really just wanted to get up and leave. Nobody would question the action, especially not some ancient teacher who had no credibility with him, but he had to keep up his school-life façade. It was tiresome, sitting for hours on end in a dull class learning useless material, but he would continue on for his loving and caring sister's sake.

Kaname smiled. Speak of the devil…

Outside on the balcony was Yuuki, clad in her black Day Class uniform. It was still warm outside and there was not wind, not even a breeze, so she was content to just stand there and enjoy the night air for a while. She inhaled a large amount of air, clearing her senses and smelling the sweet aroma of some cherry trees that were in bloom on campus.

It had been a quiet night for once. No sneaking fan girls, and sometimes guys, of the Night Class had snuck out to admire their objects of affection once more before hitting the sack. Usually there were at least one or two that tried every night, but every once in a while there were nights like this where everyone was content to stay in their dorms and sleep.

Yuuki stretched her muscles and suppressed a yawn, Maybe once more around the school would do, and then she would meet up with Zero in front of the path heading to the day class dorm rooms.

Kaname smiled slightly at Yuuki's relaxed form. She had been stressed as of late; though she wouldn't tell him why, Kaname figured it had something to do with Kiryuu-kun. The hunter had been even more temperamental and irritable lately, making Yuuki, and therefore Kaname, antsy. But from the looks of his sister, he assumed Kiryuu had been hunter PMSing or something of the sort and had quickly gotten over whatever it was that had been ailing him.

His suspicions were confirmed when said vampire hunter jumped from a nearby tree branch onto the balcony with Yuuki. She greeted him with a wave and a smile, typical Yuuki, and then proceeded to check his temperature with her hand held against his forehead and looking at him with a genuine look of concern in her eyes. Only slightly annoyed, Zero gently pushed away her hand and put his own in his pockets mumbling he was fine and didn't need coddling. Kaname noticed how Zero was paler than usual, but he otherwise seemed fine.

From his seat in the class, Kaname could see how delighted his sister was to see her adoptive brother feeling better and it made an unnatural feeling rise in his gut that Kaname was quickly getting used to. He had know for a long time that Yuuki considered Zero to be her older younger brother and it was necessary for Kiryuu's role in his little game, but he still didn't like the way she acted when she was Zero in comparison to himself. He knew it was foolish to feel that way, but he couldn't help it sometimes, especially when he took up her time to such an extent that she didn't even throw Kaname a shy little glance during patrol. Angry with himself for thinking like a jealous school girl, Kaname tugged his eyes away from the now mock-fighting pair on the balcony and tried to focus on the lecture.

Zero and Yuuki, who had promptly got into a sibling punching match after Kaname looked away, stopped when rusting hit their ears. They averted their attention from each other to the ground directly opposite the window that Kaname was currently sitting at where four Day Class girls were gathered with a camera and excited whispers. Zero heaved a sigh. You think they'd figure out that they should come out when we're not around, or better yet, just not at all.

"I'll get this one Yuuki, go and do a once around and meet back at our usual place."

"Alright Zero, but don't be too hard on them. Last time we got death glares for a month."

Zero just smiled a sight that Yuuki always felt blessed to see for it was so rare, and leaped down from the balcony. Yuuki had to grin; Zero had been so moody and crabby lately, much more than usually, but tonight he seemed much, much better. She turned around, just to check on the Night Class, and almost yelped when she saw Kaname smiling sweetly at her. A frantic blush covered her moonlit face, making it all the more noticeable, and she bowed quickly, grinned a her no-so-secret crush and jumped down on one of the sides that Zero was not currently giving out four detention slips and four very unhappy girls were sniveling and complaining about how mean Kiryuu-kun was..

She giggled silently as she went off on her last patrol. Those four girls were actually lucky for being out tonight. Zero wasn't usually happy or easygoing during patrol and would give out two slips per person, one for being caught and the other for actually breaking the rule. She wondered what was so different about tonight that would make Zero let the girls off easy.

… …

Of course! Yuuki stopped right by the fountain and sat down. Somehow, something important always happened there and it was only natural for her to find herself there of all places when she remembered why.

Tonight was special. Maybe not for most people, but tonight was special for Zero.

Because at precisely midnight, Yuuki checked a watch that she had placed in her pocket for the night, only an hour away, Zero would turn eighteen.

Yay! The prologue is FINISHED! If you think I should continue then tell me and if there were any errors I am really sorry ^O^;

See you next chapter! 3
