Chapter 1

"Nakamura, are you sure this is a good idea?" Her close friend, Kali, asked.

"...no."

"Then why are you doing this?!"

"You know why." Nakamura looked down, she really wanted Kaname's attention. Why? It was simple, she liked him.

"You know, Kaname has no interest in you. He's already got his mind set on the Cross daughter, not to mention that Ruka is chasing after him too." Kali mumbled under her breath.

"Don't try to dissuade me."

"Fine, fine." Kali put her hands up in a sign of surrender.

"Okay, I'm ready." During this whole time, Nakamura was looking for a parasol, and mentally preparing herself. Kali, on the other hand, had already found a parasol and was mindlessly laying on Hana's bed. The two shared a dorm room so it didn't matter much, along with that, they were old friends, which added to the non-awkwardness.

"Took you long enough."

"Shush." Nakamura waved towards Kali, everyone's supposed to be asleep. The two girls crept towards the window, wincing when something creaked. Nakamura eased the window open, both girls wincing against the bright sunlight. Yes, they're vampires. Everyone in the night class is. Nakamura jumped out the window first, followed by Kali, landing gently on their feet, opening their parasols in quick succession.

"Hello girls."

Kali squeaked, they weren't in their night class uniforms, but you never know. Kali breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't anyone in the night class.

"Hello." Nakamura responded.

"Shouldn't you guys be in class?"

"You're one to talk."

"I guess that is hypocritical of me. I was on my way to see if I could visit Ruka."

"Ruka?" Nakamura echoed.

"Yes, she's one of the girls from the night class." Nakamura and Kali exchanged a glance, this must be the one kid who was fawning over Ruka, Kasumi Kageyama. The Day Class president.

"Right, of course." Nakamura laughed somewhat forcedly. "I doubt she's awake. It's what must come from staying awake all night."

"It's why they're called the night class. Hm, which class are you in? I haven't seen you around."

"We're just visiting." Nakamura answered hastily.

"We wanted to see what was so special about Cross Academy." Kali added, "and, possibly learn more about the night class."

"I could tell you about the night class if you'd like." Offered Kageyama.

"That'd be lovely." Kali answered, noticing Nakamura who looked like she was about to protest, "but do you think we could sit down in the shade? We have been standing around for awhile."

Kageyama stiffened, "Right, I had forgotten how we were standing outside the night class dorms."

"I had forgotten a bit myself, so there's nothing to worry about." Nakamura smiled. The three of them headed to the courtyard which had some shade and benches. "We're losing time here." Nakamura muttered to Kali, letting her shoulder-length light brown hair fall in her face, hoping it would muffle their conversation.

"We don't want to seem suspicious." Kali responded, mimicking Nakamura and letting her own halfway down to waist length, dark brown hair fall in her face, her silver eyes glinting a bit. "So, tell me more about this 'night class'." She spoke up, brushing her hair out of her face.

"Oh, well they're the elite group of students who study during the night." Kageyama answered right away.

"Wouldn't that be tiring?" Kali gave an innocent confused look, "being awake all night and on top of that, studying all night."

"They normally stay in their dorms all day, so for all we know they could be sleeping all day."

"Huh." Kali muttered, putting up a good act.

"Oh, so do you have to do a test or something to be in the night class? Like an IQ test?" Nakamura asked.

"Yours would be -10."Kali snickered to Nakamura, "and that's being generous."

"Hey, just because I'm lazy, doesn't mean I'm not smart." Nakamura pouted.

Kali just snickered, "don't worry. I'm just teasing."

"To answer your question, uh…"

"Nakamura." Nakamura supplied.

"To answer your question Miss Nakamura, I don't think you take an IQ test. I would know because I am one of the smarter people in my class."

"Talk about being modest." Nakamura whispered to Kali, who giggled in return.

"Thank you for the insight. I think now we'll just walk around campus, and you should probably return to class." Kali giggled.

"That's right. Well, I hope to see you ladies around, Cross Academy is a wonderful school."

"I can tell, and thank you!" Kali called to Kageyama as he left the courtyard.

"Yes, thank you." Nakamura echoed.

The two girls watched Kageyama leave, making sure he was out of sight before turning to each other. "Alright Nakamura, now's your chance."

"I don't really want to get in trouble by Kaname."

"This was your idea!" Kali nearly flipped out, "I'm losing sleep for you! So you better continue with the plan!"

"Hush child." Nakamura hushed Kali, petting her.

"Yup, definitely a puppy." Kali pouted. "Besides, I thought you said the only way to get Kaname's attention was to get in trouble. Which is one of your specialties."

"Okay, here goes." Nakamura took a deep breath and water began to go everywhere. Both girls were aristocrats, Nakamura had control of water while Kali had control over wind.

"Nakamura!" Shrieked Kali, trying to shield herself from the water, which was ultimately part of the plan.

Nakamura, just glared, her eyes glowing red for a moment before jumping away in the direction of the water fountain, water encasing her.

"Nakamura!" Kali yelled after her, running after the wet figure. She picked up the parasol left forgotten by Nakamura and raced after her, not daring to use her wind powers. Which would cause more commotion for the day class to deal with.

Meanwhile…

"What's all this ruckus?" Hanabusa mumbled to Akatsuki in their dark room.

"Why don't you go check?" Akatsuki responded, rolling over to face the wall.

Hanabusa eased open the curtains and saw Kali running after something big and watery. "WOAH! I think Nakamura's gone out of control!"

Akatsuki turned to face Hanabusa when he heard this, "are you sure? It's not like an aristocrat like her to do something like that."

Hanabusa was throwing on a sweater and some shoes, "go get Kaname, I'll see if I can help Kali."

"Ever the knight in shining armor." Akatsuki mumbled to Hanabusa, but got up nevertheless.

"Scold me about it later." Hanabusa said, jumping out the window.

"You BAKA!" Akatsuki yelled down at Hanabusa, who was already on the ground and chasing after Kali and Nakamura. "Ugh, and this is my cousin."

Back to Kali and Nakamura…

"Kali!"

"Oh, Hanabusa. Did Nakamura wake you up?"

"No, more like you did."

"Oh, sorry." Kali answered, not looking very sorry at all.

"What's up with Nakamura?"

"That's what I'd like to know. Oh, here, you can use Nakamura's parasol."

"It looks so girly!" He shrieked, holding the pink, flowery parasol an arm-lengths away.

"Would you rather get sunburnt?"

Hanabusa grudgingly agreed with Kali, she was the rational voice in their relationship. She had met Hanabusa when they were younger, so it wasn't too much of a shock to either set of parents when the two of them had decided to start a relationship. It wasn't anything too serious though, at least, not yet. "Akatsuki is getting Kaname, hopefully he'll put a stop to this."

Kali bit her lip, not saying anything. She looked ahead and barely stopped in time before crashing into Nakamura. "Nakamura!" She pleaded, "snap out of it!"

"Did she come into contact with a pureblood like the 'Blooming Princess'?"

"Not that I'm aware of."

"Nakamura Ishikawa." Kaname spoke, appearing out of nowhere. Kali jumped back, startled.

"Geez, we need to put a bell on him." Kali muttered, loud enough for Hanabusa to hear, but not loud enough for Kaname to hear.

"No, we shouldn't, he'll get angry." Hanabusa responded.

"Hm."

"You know you shouldn't be outside while the day class is in session, especially without permission. Kali, tell me what is going on."

"I, well- I." Kali stuttered.

"Calm down." Hanabusa muttered, soothingly rubbing her back.

"I'm not sure. I heard the window opening and when I opened my eyes Nakamura wasn't-she wasn't in her bed."

"Don't lie to me Kali Akaishi."

"I-I."Kali looked about ready to burst into tears, Hanabusa noticed and wrapped his arms around her in a comforting way.

"Don't get mad at her Kaname." Nakamura had slowed the movement of the water, keeping it around her in a sphere, but not with water rushing around noisily.

"Do explain, Ishikawa." Kaname turned to Nakamura, gaze icy.

"This was all just a crazy plan of mine."

"Which was created in order for…"

"For you to notice me." Nakamura replied, "I'm sorry, it was foolish of me."

Kaname sighed, "Just return to the dorm Ishikawa, I'll decide what to do when night falls."

"Yes Kaname-sama."

"You too, Aido, Akaishi."

"Yes Kaname-san." Both vampires replied in unison, before all three of them leapt away, returning to the dorm.

Back in Kali's and Nakamura's room…

"Are you mad at me?" Nakamura asked across the room to Kali's turned back.

"No, just tired."

"Kaname turned out to be madder than I had anticipated."

"Yeah, well, what did you expect? He is the dorm president and the pureblood around here. If word got out that he let an aristocrat go out of control..."Kali trailed off, not needing to continue.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Get some sleep, you'll probably need it."

"Guess the plan backfired."

"Nakamura."Kali started in a warning tone.

"In the end, Kaname didn't notice me as a good person. He just sees me as a trouble maker."

"Nakamura."

"Kaname probably hates me-EEP!"

Kali had turned around and had her hand extended, a few pieces of glass was centimeters away from Nakamura's face. Where she got the glass is a mystery. "Get some sleep."

"R-right. Kali, you're scary when you're angry."
