Ch. 1 How it all started
(Well, a new fanfic… I really do feel anxious when I start a new one because it's usually hit or miss. I've never written a vampire knight fanfic before but after seeing seasons 1 and 2 of the anime and more knowledge of the manga. I decided to write this. The time frame is a little… unknown. None of the characters of the manga are in this so I'll have to introduce everyone eventually but I'm going to try and take this one step at a time. I hope you enjoy and please read, review, favorite, or alert to support the story.)

{Jason's point of view}
I don't know if this is true for everyone but I was happier when I was a child. My best friend was a girl named Coral, I lived in a nice house, and my family was always together. Then... things change. When I turned ten, Coral moved away. I still had my older sister and other friends but she was my best friend. No matter what, it was going hurt. She didn't even say goodbye... My older sister is two years older than me. For some reason, she never liked my friend Coral. After Coral left, I started feeling depressed. My other friends weren't the type to 'hang out' with me. They prefer to stay home and play mindless video games. So, my sister filled the void the best she could. Three years later, another thing changed. My parents and sister wanted to go to the movies. I had fallen asleep in my room so they decided to go without me. It was 1 in the morning when I woke up and they hadn't come back. I got worried and it only grew worse when I heard knocking from our front door. When I opened it, I found a police officer with my sister next to him. She was crying her eyes out and the officer told me why. There was an accident and my parents died in a horrifying way. My sister never told me about it but I knew it wasn't a normal accident. After that, I was utterly depressed. I graduated from my middle school and was sent to Cross Academy. My sister was already there as a Sophomore. Me, I skipped a grade after taking a special test brought to the school by the headmaster of Cross Academy. The only reason he did it was simple. Me and my sister lost our house and without any relatives to take me in, I had to stay somewhere. Honestly, I don't even know how the headmaster knew about the accident so quickly. I packed my suitcases and told my old friends goodbye. My entire life went upside-down. The only good thing, is that everything at Cross academy was free to me. Food, dorm room, classes... Did my parents leave us enough money to get all this? Today was my first day... I hope it isn't going to be complete shit.
"Well. You're here." The bus driver told me.
I pulled out my suitcase from under my seat. The bus I took was a standard public transport. However, it was rented by the academy to specifically pick me up. My second suitcase was overhead in a cabinet. I opened it and pulled out my second suitcase. With both suitcases in hand, I walked down the staircase of the bus and found myself outside the gate to Cross Academy. The gates were closed and it looked like no one was around. The bus closed its door behind me as it drove off and left my sight. So... this is my new home... I wonder how my sister will act towards me... As I approached the gate; it seemed to unlock on it's own and opened up for me. a large staircase was revealed behind the steel gate with a young woman walking down it. She was about 5 foot 9 with straight long flowing red hair. My sister always wore the standard black school uniform. This girl was wearing white instead of black and I assumed her breasts were an A cup. Her eyes were an unusual light purple as she smiled at me. I noticed her hair seemed to flow gracefully but... the wind wasn't blowing. Then as I looked at her body, I couldn't help but notice she seemed unusually beautiful as well. Her skin looked so soft and flawless as her smile seemed to magnify her features.
"Welcome to Cross Academy. My name's Martha. Nice to meet you." Martha greeted with her right hand extended.
I placed my suitcases down and held out my hand to shake hers, "Likewise. Do you know who I am?" I asked.
"Yes, you must be Cathy's son. You smel... I mean, you look a bit like her." Martha chuckled nervously.
I raised my right eyebrow, 'Did she almost say that I smell like my sister? Wait... is that a compliment or an insult?' I wondered.
"Uh... This is getting awkward, I'm sorry but here, let me show you to your dorm. The Sun is setting, so the night class is coming to school, that's why I'm here instead of a day class representative." Martha explained.
"Oh... so I'm only going to class tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yep! Now follow me please." She replied happily.
With a shrug, I picked up both of my suitcases and followed this mysterious woman. As we walked, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the school grounds were. It was surrounded by lush forests that made the air smell fresh and clean. I bet the morning dew will be the first thing I'd smell tomorrow morning. The only thing that made me feel discomfort was this. Where are the other students?
I decided to ask, "Um... where is everyone?" I asked.
"The academy has a strict curfew. 6 p.m. and it's time to go back to your dorms for the night. The day and night classes are supposed to stay separate but some day people try to see the night class." Martha explained.
"Anyone specific?" I asked.
"Yeah, the night class boys. The day class girls are obsessed with them." Martha replied.
"Great... does that mean my chances with the day class girls are either little to none?" I asked.
Martha glanced at me with a small smile, "Hey, what about my classmates? We night class girls are to die for." She replied.
I shrugged, "Sorry but this strict curfew stops that." I told her.
Martha laughed, "I think you'll fit in here. You're already remembering the rules." Martha told me.
Before I could reply, a whistle was blown as my sister jumped down from a tree, "What's going on here!?" My sister demanded.
My sister stood at 5 foot 7 wearing the standard black uniform for the day class at Cross academy. She had long black hair with several strands covering her face. Her eyes were a light hazel with nearly flawless pale skin and B cup breasts. She wore a silver metal chain necklace with a silver rosary attached to it. Her right hand was gripping something in her pocket.
"Oh, the disciplinary committee. I'm sorry but the headmaster actually told me to show this new student to his dorm." Martha explained.
My sister looked at me, "Are you ok?" she asked.
I nodded, "Yeah, why ask? She's really nice." I asked in confusion.
My sister turned to face me and started examining me, "Hm... alright. She didn't hurt you. I can take it from here Martha. Go back to your night class, please." My sister asked politely.
"Of course Stella." Martha bowed.
When Martha left I had to ask, "Stella, what the hell was that about?"
"I'll explain when we get to your room Jason. Alright?" Stella asked.
I sighed and agreed since I knew she wasn't going to answer me even if I demanded one. She's very stubborn, especially when it comes to her duties at school. What does she even do as a part of the disciplinary committee? Is she just protecting the night kids from the day ones? Wait... what if she joined to keep a certain night guy to herself? Hm... future brother in law might be a possibility. Then again, she never mentions anyone, male or female, whenever we talked. Hell, this whole Academy is weird. Why have a day class and a night class? Well... I guess it's none of my business. So I really shouldn't lose sleep over it. Stella led me into a large mansion like building.
"This, is the Sun Dormitory where all the Day students sleep while the night class is studying. I'll be honest, it's pretty basic but it gives us a more humble look." Stella told me.
I looked around to see the walls were made of chiseled white stone. I ran my hand along the wall to feel the smoothness of said stone. The floor was covered by carpets with articular designs. The combination of red, blue and purple had a comforting tone to them. My sister snapped her fingers to get my attention.
"Jason, did you hear me?" Stella asked.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I didn't." I replied with a frown.
"Sigh, I said, If you enter through these doors, head to the left. That's the boy's side of the dorm. Do you know what your room number is?" Stella asked.
"Uh... yeah... you see... I kind of... lost my papers..." I told my sister nervously.
My sister grabbed me in a headlock and started grinding her fist on my head, "You what!? She yelled.
"Ow! I'm sorry sis! That hurts!" I complained.
"Well, you shouldn't have lost your papers you idiot! You need to be more responsible!" Stella yelled.
"I will! I swear! Just stop hurting me!" I yelled back.
My sister smiled and let me go. I shook my head blushing furiously as I glared at my older sister.
"I'm not a little kid you know." I frowned.
"Yeah... you turn 14 next week right?" Stella asked.
"Yeah..." I answered sadly.
My sister started to rub my head, "Don't worry. I'll try to get you a cake for it." Stella smiled warmly.
I hugged my sister, "Thanks sis... so... how do we find my room?" I asked.
Stella grabbed my ear, "Easy, we go see the dorm manager. He has to have your room in the system. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be a student." Stella told me as she pulled my ear.
I hopped after her, "Stella! Come on! You're still hurting me!" I complained.
"Just shut up and come with me." Stella ordered.
After an hour of walking around, we finally found the dorm manager. I had to tell him my full name, which is Jason Kigyar. The Manager took a minute to check the system and found my name. The Dorm manager opened a drawer and looked in it before pulling out a key. The key was a bright golden color with a straight blade. Indented on its sides where two horizontal lines that must line up specifically with my door. I did a slight bow and thanked the man before my sister started dragging me again. She was always like this... Bossy but... underneath... very loving. She never told me anything about our parents' death. The police and news blamed it on a car crash but something about that never felt right. Wouldn't a car crash cause my sister some kind of injury? I glanced at my sister as we walked in search for my room.
"Sis... who paid for me to come here? I know it's not free." I asked with a searching glare.
Stella shrugged, "I don't know. Our parents left enough for me to stay here but you? It had to be someone else." Stella replied honestly.
I searched her expression to see she wasn't lying, "Huh... do you think the school felt bad for me?" I asked.
"No, that one is definitely the wrong one. Maybe if it was the original headmaster then yes but not this one. He's a bit of a... how can I put this? He's the proud prince of douchebag." Stella answered bluntly.
"Wow, tell me how you really feel." I joked with a slight chuckle.
My sister pushed me hard, "Shut up." Stella told me.
I bounced off a wall, "Jesus. When did you become so strong?" I asked.
"Uh... Gym?" Stella answered.
I gave her an unimpressed look, "Wow, do you think I'm stupid?" I asked.
"Well, I certainly don't think you're intelligent." Stella grinned.
I flipped her off, "You're just jealous that I skipped a grade." I replied.
"Okay nerd. Chess club is down the hall and to the left. It's full of no life losers just like you." Stella joked.
I smiled and stopped walking when we reached my room. The door was pure white with a silver label on it that said '307'. I knocked on the door to see if anyone was in there but no one answered. With a glance at my sister, I inserted the key and opened the door. What I found was a perfectly clean single bedroom.
"Um... Stella?" I asked.
"Yeah?" Stella asked.
"How did they know I like black carpet... and black curtains?" I asked.
The room was dark. Really dark. The bed itself was a standard wooden frame bed with a large white fluffy pillow and white blankets. There was a large dresser with a mirror tall enough to show from my head to my abdominal area. I turned on the light to see the room had no pictures or frames and the walls were painted white. When I walked in, I looked to my right to see a bathroom with a small shower, sink and toilet. I closed the bathroom door though and placed my suitcases on my bed.
"Well... your room is super nice... uh... I have to go do disciplinary committee stuff." Stella told me.
I waved goodbye as she left my room, closing the door behind her. I opened up my suitcase and looked at my clothes. I turned around to see myself in the mirror and examined myself. I'm 5 foot 3 with pale skin just like my sister. My hair is long enough to cover most of my forehead. The color is a shiny black that reflects light when wet. My sister is a bit jealous of that. My eyes are brown and my lips are neither too thin nor too luscious. My figure was a bit on the slim side with a little muscle here and there on my arms and legs. I looked at my old clothes and shrugged as I put on my new academy clothes. They seemed to fit me and my room well. The uniform was like a formal suit since it consisted a black vest, a white dress shirt, red tie, a black pair of pants and a black jacket. I liked it, a lot. I feel... um... hot? Attractive? I don't know. I need to go to sleep though. I'm beat.
"I hope my first school day goes well. Hopefully, big sis won't be busy and she'll show me around the school." I spoke to myself.
I pulled on some comfortable black sweatpants and a black muscle shirt before laying on my new bed. My life changes again... I wonder what my classmates will be like?
-The Next Day-
I woke up to my door getting kicked open by my sister. I sat up quickly and stared at her in shock.
"What is it!?" I yelled.
"Oh, you're awake." Stella smiled.
"You barged in my room!?" I yelled.
"Want breakfast?" Stella asked.
"Don't change the subject!" I yelled.
Stella shrugged, "Fine, then don't come with me and eat some freshly made pancakes." Stella smirked.
I thrust an open left hand at her, "Wait! You bitch! You know I love pancakes!" I yelled.
Stella started walking out, "Then hurry up and get dressed before they're all gone!" Stella yelled as she walked off.
'Shit!' I thought as I jumped out of bed and ran into my shower.
After a few minutes I jumped out and noticed that there was no towel. Luckily, I brought my own towel... in my suitcase... with my door wide open... Damn it Stella..! I opened my door hesitantly and peeked to see no one in my room. I quickly ran over to my door and closed it. I looked in my suitcase and found my white towel. After drying myself, I got dressed in the school uniform and walked out. I looked around to find Stella leaning against the Dorm building. I looked at her with a frown as she rolled her eyes.
"About time." Stella told me.
"Hey, I needed to take a damn shower." I told her.
"Alright. Come on." Stella smiled.
I just shrugged and followed Stella to the main school building. I noticed a group of people walking away from the school with the same kind of uniform. The thing is, they were reverse in color. They had white instead of black and vice versa.
"Who are they sis?" I asked.
"I never got to explain huh? Those are the night class students. They're... elite. In a way." Stella told me.
"Why's that?" I asked.
"Many reasons. They can be rich, models, intelligent etc." Stella answered.
"So, I basically wouldn't have a chance with any of them." I frowned.
"Jason... promise me you'll never try to date one of them..." Stella told me sternly.
"They're just people Stella. Plus, they probably wouldn't even talk to me unless they had to, like Martha did." I responded.
"Jason, you need to promise me right now. If you don't, I'll rip your ears off." Stella threatened.
I swallowed hard, "Alright. I promise but sometimes things happen sis." I reasoned.
"As long as I don't find one of them trying to kiss, talk or approach you. I'll be fine." Stella replied.
"Holy crap. Were you always this overprotective?" I asked.
Stella just groaned and made us walked faster until we reached the cafeteria. It wasn't anything special. They had a few circle tables and long rectangle tables with folding chairs. The pancakes though, were amazing. I think my mind exploded or I was still too damn tired. I found out it was 6:30 in the morning. That means the night class goes back to their dorm at 6 in the morning. Hm... cool. I didn't want to waste time so I asked my sister to help me with my schedule. We went to the main office and got me an extra copy since I lost my papers... My first class was gym. Great. Stella told me it was outside in the back of the school. So, let's see how this works.
I was in the back but our teacher still decided to put me in the spotlight, "Everyone, we have a new student. His name is Jason Kigyar. He's Stella Kigyar's younger brother, so, if I were you, I wouldn't hurt him. That is, unless you want his older sister to discipline you." Our gym teacher told us.
I groaned as everyone looked at me for a minute before everyone went off to do their own thing. I didn't have gym clothes but most of the others didn't either. I was checking out some of the girls and saw most of them wearing a white t-shirt and purple shorts. I'll admit, a few of them are hot but didn't really attract me. Not to mention they probably only like the night class guys. I walked out onto the Academy's soccer field and found a soccer ball in the center. I remember playing soccer when I was younger... It was how I met Coral... She was my older sister's classmate. I was sad because I had no friends but my sister was so popular. I did my best to stay out of my sister's way at school. I didn't want everyone to know that I was her loser younger brother. I was playing soccer alone when I was seven. I was kicking a ball into an empty net and yet she approached me...
I was interrupted by three guys coming up to me, "Hey, you wanna pass that ball around?" One of them asked.
"Sure." I responded and kicked the ball to the tallest one.
"Thanks. That name's Kane and I'm a senior. I know your sister since I work on the disciplinary committee too." Kane told me.
Kane was about 6 foot 2 with slightly dark skin. He has a very muscular body and wears the standard male uniform with a Rosary attached to each wrist clip. His hair was very short, curly and brown in color. His eyes were brown like mine and I noticed he had a small scar on his right cheek.
"Nice to meet you. I bet my sister is a handful." I frowned.
"Eh... She's a good leader for our committee. Not to mention she's really talented at it too." Kane laughed.
"What exactly is the disciplinary committee for?" I asked.
"It's here to keep the day class and the night class apart. If we didn't exist, the night class would be bombarded by the day class girls... and guys too. Not to mention the chaos that'd follow in the school." Kane replied as he whispered the last sentence.
"Chaos? Well... I guess the fangirls would cause some chaos. Hm... oh well, let's play." I smiled as he passed the ball to me.
You know... maybe my first day won't be so bad. I think I might like this Academy.
