A girl stood before a pathway that lead up to a school building. The day was gone as darkness covered the campus before her.
The girl was in a black school girl's uniform. Her hair fell straight to the middle of her back and was as black as a moonless night. Her deep blue eyes were soft and welcoming. Her skin was soft and flawless. Overall she was a beautiful girl.
The first day of classes was already over. She had missed her plane and had to take the next one, in doing so she arrived late. She had to go to a new school, because of an incident at her old one.
The girl's name was Mahiru.
At Cross Academy, there were two groups of students: the Day Class and the Night Class. The Day Class stays in their own dorms and are forbidden from going onto the campus at night. Their uniforms are black. The Night Class stay in the Moon Dorms and go to the campus for classes at night. They are deemed extremely beautiful by all the girls in the Day Class. Their uniforms are white.
Mahiru pulled her suitcase behind her as she approached the school building. Tree leaves shook as something fell from the branches.
A girl landed on her feet with her knees bend and one hand to the ground to steady herself. She stood up right away, "You know the rules! No leaving the dorm after it gets dark!"
"I just got here, I missed my plane so I ended up coming in late," Mahiru explained.
"Oh," the girl wasn't as harsh anymore. "Well let's get you inside to see Headmaster Cross."
"Um," Mahiru stopped the girl, "your leg is bleeding."
"Ah!" the girl looked down to see her thigh was indeed bleeding a little. "The sooner we get inside the sooner I can get this cleaned up." She grabbed Mahiru's hand and went inside.
"I am still glad that you could come, Mahiru-San" Headmaster Cross said.
Mahiru nodded. After the girl cleaned up her cut she took Mahiru to Headmaster Cross' office. He had explained how things worked around campus.
"Yuuki," he addressed the girl beside Mahiru, "she'll stay with you in the day dorms. You can show her around tomorrow." He was very professional until the last thing he said, "So be a good daughter for daddy ok?"
Yuuki smiled, "well you already know my name is Yuuki."
"I'm Mahiru; it's nice to meet you." Her eyes suddenly went wide in shock.
"Mahiru? Are you alright?" Headmaster Cross asked.
Mahiru's hand went to her head, "I'm not feeling so well," her eyes had relaxed now.
"Do you want to lay down here?" Yuuki asked.
"No!" Mahiru said a little too suddenly and loudly.
Cross and Yuuki looked at her confused.
"Is there a bathroom nearby?" Mahiru asked.
Yuuki lead Mahiru out of the room and into the guest bathroom passing a boy on the way. "I'll introduce you to Zero later," Yuuki said. Meaning the boy in the black uniform they had just passed.
When the two girls passed by he thought he sensed something. He turned to get a better look but the new girl had disappeared into the bathroom.
"Mahiru stay in there, I'm going to get you some medicine!" Yuuki ran from the bathroom door.
Zero caught up with Yuuki, "what's with her?"
Mahiru ran the water and splashed her face. She had sensed it; she needed to keep her distance. She slapped her face. "No!" she told herself, "I won't allow that to happen again."
Someone pounded on the door, "are you feeling any better?" It was Yuuki.
Mahiru opened the door, "yea I'm feeling much better." She smiled.
"I'll take you to our dorm room." Yuuki did so and then disappeared.
Mahiru put her things away and changed into her pj's. She lay in bed. After feeling that presence, one she hadn't felt in years, her body refused to sleep and her mind was wild in thought.
