CHAPTER 1: A New Comer

It was the deepest time of the night and the moon was as bright as ever, it was indeed a night for all the creatures of the dark.

The Cross Academy was encompasses with a total silence, only the softest whisper of the wind can be felt and beyond the strong gates of the school the quiet conversation of two of the trusted people of the school's student council president was the only thing disrupting the almost cemetery silence of the place.

They were assigned to fetch a new comer and they were faithfully following their orders. And as this newcomer's presence began to be felt the wind seems to blow in welcome

. "You know, you shouldn't complain about this. This is the President's orders." The guy with dark red hair with eyes silver even in the dark said quietly.

The golden haired girl just looked haughtily at him casting him a deadly look.

As a figure slowly and silently passed through the shadows and stopped near them, they bow with their hand lying on their heart as a sign of respect and welcome and murmured a greeting.

The shadowed figure nodded to their direction then just as quietly, quickly melted in the dark again.

"I don't know but I distrust that newcomer. She's not even like us, how could Kaname-sama just let that get in?" Ruka said her green eyes mirroring her mistrust.

Shiki just smiled weakly, his handsome face wearing the 'I don't care' look.

"As I have said, it is Kaname-sama's decision. You know how seldom he talks about his plans. Besides, he knows the situation better than we do, Ruka."

Grudgingly Ruka consented, Shiki was correct anyway.

"See? Now where did that newcomer go?" Shiki demanded sleepily.

Ruka slap him on the back. A deadly glint coming to her eyes, "Why didn't you take notice?" she said dangerously.

"You didn't even noticed it AND you were the one talking nonstop." He drily replied.

And so they continued on arguing and the newcomer hearing the hushed conversation loudly because of her sensitive senses, silently halted for a minute and with a slight frown she decided to go back and show herself once again.

With her silver hair glinting in the moonlight and her crimson eyes serious, she looked very beautiful and deadly and as she softly said,

"Shall we go now? You two are so loud."

Ruka got flabbergasted and flushed. Shiki stand in complete attention, a stance he just maintained in front of Kaname and to his clan. On the other hand, Ruka composed herself and went back to her original regal posture again.

"Sure, sorry for waiting."

"No problem."

"You know there's something very familiar about you." Shiki eyed her in the dark.

"My face is kinda common." she said and smiled. That was a lie, for surely her face second to no one.

They let it all pass, there's always a next time.

The newcomer put on her hood again and with soundless footsteps walks through the gates and into the Academy with the two vampires behind her watching her closely as one may watch a deadly bird.
