*Prologue*

Zero Kiryuu, a most famous model in the world, lived an eventful life. He lost both his parents due to an attack on the family a few years prior along with his younger twin brother Ichiru Kiryuu. He was taken in by the head of CMC, or Cross Modeling Cooperation, Kaien Cross who had a daughter a year younger than him named Yuuki. She was a kindhearted person who only wished to care for the boy who had lost everything, however no matter what she did or said it was nearly impossible to break down Zero's emotional walls that had been placed even in such a short amount of time. Kaien also ran an academy that was split into class ranks, there were the top students in the rank A class and the next in the rank B class and so on and so fourth, the academy was for high school and so while Zero still lived with Kaien and Yuuki he attended a boarding school that was a few hours away. Kaien was worried about sending Zero off to the boarding school but after learning that Zero's childhood friend would be attending there and he would have a teacher both he and Kaien knew well, he was hopeful that Zero would have a mbetter time there than with just him and Yuuki.

Over the holidays Zero would return to Kaien and an eager Yuuki, who wished for him to tell her everything about his studies at a school that you lived at with other students, accompanied by his teacher Touga Yagari and friend Kaito Takamiya. They learned quickly that Zero was very studious, he got amazing grades that even surpassed some of the elite high school students Kaien had at the academy. His social side on the other hand was lacking far behind anyone at his age, he even didn't try to make friends according to Kaito, he hardly spoke to anyone unless forced or it was someone he trusted well. He had no desire to interact with other children, he didn't want to play at parks but rather walk by them staring at things only he saw. Kaito was one of two who could get Zero to show his more childish side, the other one was no longer with them and everyone knew that had the biggest impact on the boy. Ichiru was the most important person in Zero's eyes when he was younger, and the thought that he couldn't protect his own little brother killed him mentally more than anything else. Because of this, there were many worries about his emotional state by everyone around him. Though he acted as though he was fine and just not talkative or very emotional, there were times when they were able to see an unguarded Zero and when they did they saw just how broken into pieces the boy really was. Even in those times Yagari claimed he was probably holding back so they couldn't see all of his raw emotions so easily.

At the end of his last year in middle school, Zero decided to run off and go to a summer of martial arts and other defense specialties school in Kyoto. He learned quickly and finished early having perfected not only the skills but also the demeanor of someone who could kill without second thought. Lilac eyes that used to give tender and caring looks, his careful and yet determined attitude had turned into icy glares at anyone and everyone he crossed paths with. He would sooner shoot you then talk and he no longer wished to be around anyone that wasn't a target he could fire at. Firearms were Zero's preferred weapons, although really anything he could aim and shoot to some degree worked fine for him, he fought many times with just using his fists as well which became his secondary. When he came back from that trip with such a hardened and dominating aura, both Kaien and Yuuki took a step back to simply watch how he acted before even trying to speak with him less they get killed or wounded in the act. It took the two of them a long time to regain any kind of relationship with the former gentile boy. Yagari had stopped by to see Zero after he returned and was taken back at how quickly his own sarcastic and smart ass responses were shot back at him with slight malice and even sadistic tones and looks. Kaito only messed with Zero once in a play fight before he decided it wasn't something he was going to do again, though Zero was younger, the other packed quite a punch and it stung for weeks.

By the time he entered Cross Academy with Yuuki, because Kaien decided he needed to keep an eye on both of them for safety measures, Zero already had a reputation of someone you don't get on the wrong side of. Other students would run or simply try to avoid him at all costs whenever in school. Though Zero didn't mind the outcome, he didn't want others flocking around him and he wasn't even questioned by the teachers when he came in late. He had everyone running from him and leaving him in peace, exactly where he wanted to be, well all except three that was. Those three were Yuuki, Kaien and the top student at Cross Academy, Kaname Kuran. He was he most idled out of everyone there, he was in the A rank class as was Zero and a few others that he didn't care to bother with. Unlike everyone else, Zero despised Kuran Kaname with a passion. He would ignore him, talk back, deliberately piss the other off, he stood his ground well every time they had to see each other. Zero would glare Kaname to hell if he could and the other was sure that if looks really could kill he would be dead; many, many, many times over. The others in the A rank class all followed Kaname like dogs on a leash, and thus didn't care for Zero every time he was in the same room because his lack of respect towards someone older and higher than his own level. Zero couldn't give less of a damn what they thought and said about him, as long as he never let his guard down and never submitted to anyone he would be fine and would be able to peacefully execute his plan of ending his life before he graduated in order to be with his family again. That wish of his however, changed drastically one fateful night. That night brought in someone new, someone who would change Zero's cold heart and give everyone a view they never thought they would ever see in their lifetime. That person, just happened to be named Sayo Kiriko.
