Author's Note: Okay, this was long in coming, but I finally got up the nerve to edit my account. I was laying in bed trying to sleep when it hit me. I had gotten a little excited in my younger days and posted things with out consideration for the timeline of events in my head. So I had to take a whole bunch of stuff down. But I am still working on those other stories. Also this posting is a major update to the version I wrote, like, three years ago. So while I'm sorry it's not new chapters per-say it is almost a new story. So please enjoy and I apologize for the long long wait.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Vampire Knight stuff. My OCs are mine though.

Chapter 1: The Storm

The moon seemed to bear a reddish glow as it hung over the infamous Cross Academy. The air was filled with ominous magic. The vampires of the school could feel it like you feel a fog or a thick mist. The humans of course slept in their dorms completely unaware and ignorant. However their dreams were erratic and jumbled as the magic affected them on a subconscious level. Somewhere in the distance, thunder rumbled. The supernatural inhabitants could feel the storm coming and it set nerves on edge.

Zero Kiryū looked over the campus from the Tower at the pinnacle of the large Academy building. A dark foreboding hung over him like the storm clouds that were rapidly approaching the school. Of course than again it could be nothing, just the vampires. They always made his skin crawl.

Those bloodsuckers could be planning a massacre and they would still somehow get off clean. He thought to himself. But still a small voice in his head was whispering warnings. It's coming. It's coming. Be ready for the storm. Somehow he got the feeling that it wasn't a thunder storm that the voice was talking about. It was something a lot worse.

Yūki Cross' face was as red as a beat and no one would blame her for it. If she had to fall out of a tree why did it have to be in front of Kaname Kuran? As if the situation hadn't been bad enough with just that, now he was helping her hop to her house (as she had refused at point blank to be carried) so the Headmaster (also her adoptive father) could treat the injury. Part of her was so thrilled that, if it weren't for her ankle, she'd be dancing. The other part however, wanted to die.

However she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. It was the very fact that she could feel something made it a big deal; she sucked at having a so-called sixth sense. But the heavy atmosphere wasn't coming from her chagrin and it wasn't purely coming from the aura of subtle power that Kaname always had. No, this was something else.

The wind suddenly picked up and the thunder from the storm that had once been rumbling in the distance was now booming right over them. The whole Academy was bathed in light from the lightning that crackled across the black sky.

Kaname pulled Yūki closer to him, as if to shield her from the storm. The prefect looked up and saw a vortex of swirling colors that had split the thunderous sky. A golden beam light shot from its center joined the lightning in its task of illuminating the dark night.

It soared over the campus, leaving a shining trail behind it which flickered and faded after a few seconds. It shot into the mountain range that made up the back of the school. The two students heard the boom its landing created loud and clear. The sound reverberating throughout the area, Kaname saw a wave of energy working its way towards them form the blast site. He didn't have much time before it would wash over the school. A voice from the past rang in his head; pure magic energy can be harmful to humans. We have to be very careful when casting complicated spells when humans are around. He yanked Yūki to the ground; he spread his own magic around the two of them like a protective blanket.

Yūki yelped at the sudden movement. Then the wave hit them, it stung a little but not too badly. After a few seconds she scrambled out of the vampire's now lose hold. She looked to where the swirling column was still spinning in the sky. But it didn't spin for much longer the vortex disappeared with a flash of white lightning. Then as if it couldn't get any better… it began to rain, hard.

However, the prefect hardly noticed the downpour. She just continued to stare at the place where the apparition had just been. She then turned to look in the direction the strange light had gone. Don't ask her to explain it, but she had a strong urge to go find out what that had been exactly. Completely forgetting about her ankle, she began to move toward it, not even hearing her ankle scream at her in reaction to her actions.

However Yūki hadn't even gone three paces before Kaname grabbed her sharply by her arm. "Where do you think you're going?!" He said in a stern voice. She looked at him and was startled. Kaname was still sitting on the ground. He looked exhausted, panting slightly but his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

"To go look at … the… meteor..." Yūki trailed off into a mumble losing any and all determination in the wake of Kaname's glare.

He fought the impulse to yell and instead spoke in such a quiet and calm voice it made the scolding much worse. "You are not going to go anywhere except to you Father. You are in no condition to go look at anything. It didn't land anywhere close enough to the school to be something to worry about. It's not going anywhere and you are not going to tramp around the mountains in the rain on that ankle." She pouted and looked off in the direction the thing had fallen wistfully.

It was easy to see she had no intention of listening to him this time. He had to get her mind off it. Yūki suddenly found herself being carried on Kaname's back. Her face was beet red again "W-what are you d-doing?" she said her voice showed that she was very flustered. "You shouldn't be carrying me. You look just as bad as me. Put me down!" she almost shrieked.

The meteor had been quickly forgotten. Kaname neither answered her nor heed her as he resumed the trek through the heavy rain to her home; trying not to collapse himself. It had taken a lot of energy to cast magic like what he did and he was feeling the toll on his body.
