Hello, everyone. I would like to start by saying that this my very first Vampire Knight fanfic. I have writen other stories, but they're both Vampire Diaries fanfics. Anyway, I have had this story in my mind for quite a while, and I decided it might be fun to write it down. This story may contain some OOC and I apologize for that, but this is just the way the story is played out in my mind. Please do not be so hard on me. So, please read on and enjoy my very first Vampire Knight story! :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or any of its original characters. I simply own my OC and other new characters you will soon meet.

Reunion

(Mackenzie's POV)

It was just before twilight and I had barely made it to Cross Academy in time. I stared up at the massive iron gates and gulped. My arrival to Cross Academy was supposed to be a surprise, but apparently the Headmaster had been notified. Since, he was standing on the other side with a huge smile on his face. I smiled back timidly and grabbed my suitcase. I slowly lifted up the handle and pulled it along. As soon as I came close enough, the right gate opened and I was instantly engulfed in a bear hug. I gasped for breath and tried to show the same enthusiasm. The Headmaster then released me and said happily.

"Mackenzie-chan! Oh, I am so happy you were able to make it in time! Welcome to Cross Academy!"

I smiled back at him and replied happily.

"Thank you, Headmaster. I am really glad to be here. You didn't have to come and meet me here, though."

He simply smiled and replied.

"Of course, I did. I simply couldn't wait to see you! It has been like over eight years, since I've last seen you! Look at you! You're all grown up!"

I smiled timidly and said.

"Thank you, although, I think that this is all I'm going to grow up. I've been this size since I was like twelve."

He simply laughed at my response then said.

"Oh, don't talk like that, Mackenzie-chan. I'm sure you still have much more to develop."

I simply smiled at him thankfully then nodded. He simply smiled in return and said.

"Well, lets go get you settled. Here, let me take your suitcase."

I instantly pulled the suitcase towards me and replied.

"No, thank you. I think I've got it. Thank you for offering, though."

He smiled kindly at me then shook his head and said.

"Always so independent."

I simply smiled brightly and replied.

"Yep."

I then took hold of my suitcase and began to follow him through the gates. We walked towards his office and made mild chit-chat about our lives. He continously kept staring at me though. Almost as if he feared I would break down at any moment. Thankfully, he didn't ask me anything about that day. We arrived to his office rather quickly and he held the door open for me. I walked inside and I took a seat opposite from his desk. He then moved and took a seat across from me then smiled. I smiled back and said.

"I was informed by my father that I will be working as a... guardian ? I wish to know what that is. What exactly will I be guarding?"

His smile then faltered and he looked down at his desk. He stayed quiet for a while then replied.

"Mackenzie-chan, I'm sure that you are fully aware of who you are."

I frowned and replied.

"Who I am? What's that supposed to mean?"

He then looked up at me and said.

"I am reffering to the fact that you are a half-blood."

I took a deep intake of breath and flinched. Yes, I was aware of what I was. What did that have anything to do with me being a guardian? I closed my eyes slightly and then turned to stare at him again. I slowly nodded and replied.

"Yes, I know what I am, Headmaster."

He smiled and then said excitedly.

"This is quite exciting actually. A half-blood at Cross Academy is exactly what we needed to promote are pacifism."

I instantly lifted my hand and stopped him. I stared directly at him and said seriously.

"No one is allowed to know that I am here. My arrival at Cross Academy is to be kept a secret until my father sees fit."

At that, he instantly straightened up and replied.

"Yes, of course. Your father informed me of that, neither the Vampire Council or the Hunter Association is to know of your arrival until he decides so."

I nodded slowly and then replied.

"That is correct. Now, back to what we were saying. What does what I am have anything to do with being a... guardian?"

He then sighed and replied seriously.

"You are a half-blood, Mackenzie. Half-human and half-pureblood vampire, but you aren't just any human. You are a hunter. Your mother was one of the greatest vampire hunters known, aside from the Kiryus. Therefore, I thought, who was better for the job than you?"

I smiled slightly then replied.

"I know what I am, Headmaster. The only thing I am confused about is this "job" you speak of. What exactly will I be guarding?"

He then smiled brightly and exclaimed happily.

"Why the Night Class, of course!"

I tilted my head to the side slightly and replied.

"And why does the Night Class need to be guarded? Are they troublemakers or something?"

He then busted out laughing and replied in between giggles.

"Of course not. No, I want you to protect the Night Class."

I stared at him curiously and asked.

"Why? Are they like celebrities or something?"

He simply continued laughing and then replied.

"Not exactly. Although, the Day Class students do see them that way. No, the Night Class consists entirely of vampires."

I froze at that statement and slowly swallowed. My father had told me that I would receive a surpirse once I got to Cross. I didn't think it would be anything like this. Then again, I probably should have known already. My dad had explained to me that the Headmaster was striving for peace between humans and vampires. I should have been able to guess that this school had something to do with it. I simply shook my head and replied calmly.

"I see, and the Day Class must consist entirely of humans, correct?"

He nodded happily and replied.

"Correct!"

I nodded slowly and said calmly.

"Therefore, what you wish for me to protect is the Night Class' secret. Am I right?"

"Right again!"

I sighed casually and replied with a smile.

"Very well then. When do I start?"

He instantly jumped up and exclaimed happily.

"That's the spirit, Mackenzie-chan! I am so glad that you are being so understanding! That's why I think it would be perfect for you to start today!"

I blinked and stared at him in surprise. Then I simply smiled and replied.

"Alright, where do I go?"

He simply smiled brightly and replied.

"Well, first we need to get you your uniform."

I simply nodded and replied with a smile.

"Okay, what's it like?"

He simply backed away from his desk and quickly stood up. Then he walked to a door that was behind me towards the left and opened it. He proceeded to turn to me and give me a great smile. The Headmaster's cheerful mood rubbed on me quite fast. He was simply so happy that I really couldn't do anything, but smile at him in return. He then quickly pulled out a black school uniform just my size. It was a mid-thigh skirt with a white under shirt and a black long-sleeved top. It was beautiful! I absolutely loved it! I instantly took it from him and said happily.

"It's perfect! Thank you so much!"

He simply smiled and said cheerily.

"Really? You like it?"

"I love it!"

He then threw his arms around me in a bone-crushing hug and said happily.

"Oh, Mackenzie-chan! You are an absolute doll!"

I simply gasped and replied.

"Well, this doll is about to break if you keep crushing her like that."

He immediately released me and said.

"I'm sorry, Mackenzie-chan. I'm just really glad that you like the uniform and are being very mature about all of this."

I simply smiled and replied.

"Of course, Headmaster. I wouldn't want to disappoint my father. I told him I would behave and I am sticking to my word. Besides, I do NOT want him angry with me. I've seen him mad and it's not a pretty sight."

The Headmaster took a step back and stared at me curiously. He sighed and then asked seriously.

"Mackenzie-chan, how are things between you two?"

I simply sighed and replied with a small smile.

"We are okay, Headmaster. Ever since he woke up, he has tried his hardest to make it up to me. We have bonded more than I could ever imagine. He has shown me nothing, but kindness and to be honest. I like it. I like it a lot."

The Headmaster simply nodded and then asked with deep concern.

"And your father? How is he? I mean... emotionally. How is he doing?"

I merely sighed and replied honestly.

"He's... he is coping. I can tell the pain is still there, but purebloods are absolute professionals at hiding their feelings. He works a lot and he's with me a lot, as well."

The Headmaster simply nodded understandingly and replied.

"I see, and when will he make his appearance?"

I simply shook my head and said with a small smile.

"I asked him the same thing and he said that he would appear whenever he felt like it. He claimed that he really didn't want to deal with the Council right now, so he was going to lay low."

The Headmaster simply smiled and replied.

"I can imagine why."

Then he instantly brightened up and said happily.

"Well get dressed, so I can show you where to go. Make it quick, as well. The Night Class should be leaving their dorms shortly."

I simply nodded and asked him where I could change. He pointed me towards his bathroom and I instantly dashed inside. I immediately stripped off my clothing and quickly bagan placing on my uniform.

My hair had been pulled up in a pony-tail, but I decided to simply let it fall. My hair was a natural violet color, right below my shoulders, and was naturally straight. I smiled as I stared at myself. I then looked closely into the mirror and noticed that I had dark circles under my stormy, grey eyes. I had insomnia, but over the years I had simply gotten used to it. My dad had given me a hard time about it, and insisted in getting me checked. By the time I was taken to the doctor, it was too late. I had a sleeping disorder that couldn't be cured. Therefore, the most I slept was about two to four hours a day, if I was lucky. Sometimes I didn't even sleep for days.

I simply sighed and quickly slipped on my long, black boots. Then I grabbed my other clothing and neatly folded them. I grabbed them and carefully walked back to the Headmaster's office. He then handed me a plastic bag, so I could place my clothes in. I thanked him and then quickly stored my clothes. He took the bag from me and said that he was going to send the bag, along with my suitcase to my new room. I quickly nodded and thanked him. Then I smiled and said.

"So, I think I'm good. Where do I go?"

He simply smiled and replied happily.

"Are you excited, Mackenzie-chan?"

I instantly smiled and replied happily.

"Are you kidding, Headmaster? I am finally going to meet other vampires! I have been locked up in my house for years, and the only vampire I know is my dad. At first, I was a bit scared because I didn't know what their reaction to me would be. You know... because of who I am. I hope they like me though. Anyway, I am really looking forward to meeting them! I am like way more than just excited!"

He then smiled happily and replied.

"Well, I am really glad to hear that, but before you go. Let me give you something for your protection."

I blinked and stared at him in surprise. Protection? Why would I need to protect myself? We were in a school that was surrounded completely by a huge wall. Nobody could simply sneak in here, could they? The Headmaster then seemed to notice my look of confusion and said.

"You need something in order to protect yourself from the Night Class..."

I was about to interrupt, when he instantly stopped me and said seriously.

"Do not misunderstand. It is highly unlikely for any of them to hurt anyone, but this is for just in case. You never know when you might trip and accidently cut yourself. Vampires can smell blood from miles away and particularly your blood."

He then handed me a small hand gun. It was a bright, silver color with my intials engraved near the top part. It seemed small, but I could tell that the actual body of the gun was made so that it would be able to shoot at long distances. As soon as I grabbed the gun, it began to glow a dark violet color. It scared me and I wanted to drop it, but I realized I couldn't. Like I literally couldn't let go of the gun. My fingers wouldn't uncurl away from it. They were stuck.

My panic only seemed to increase when I noticed black vines come from the shooting hole. They slowly made their way around the gun and curled around my hand. The vines seemed to have a mind of their own because they made sure to not cut my wrist. Then one of the vines made its way carefully to a section between the crook of my elbow and my wrist. It hovered patiently over the spot then I saw a sharp pointy thorn appear and quickly puncture that part of my arm. I screamed in horror and then the vines vanished. They literally disappeared. They didn't go back inside the gun or fall to the floor. They just kinda turned into dust and disappeared.

This was my reaction to that.

"What on earth just happened!"

I instantly stared at the Headmaster accusingly, but he was simply staring at my arm curiously. I then looked down and noticed that there was no bruise on my arm. No puncture hole, no blood dripping, not even a scratch. How was that possible! I had seen and felt the vine sting me! What on earth was going on? The Headmaster merely tilted his head to the side and then reached out for the gun. I was more than happy to hand it back. That thing was cursed!

As soon as the Headmaster touched it, I saw the gun light up and shock him. Like literally shock him with electricity! He immediately dropped the gun and it fell to the floor near my foot. I instantly jumped back and moved away from it. That thing was possessed or something. The Headmaster simply smiled and said.

"Well, Yagari-san wasn't kidding when he said that gun was made especially for you."

"I'm sorry, what?"

He simply looked up at me and said with a smile.

"That is a hunter weapon, but it can only be used by you. It's what you would call, special, I suppose. You are the only one that can handle it. As you just witnessed, anyone else is clearly restricted from touching it."

I blinked and stared at him in shock. That gun was mine? How? When? Where? WHY? The Headmaster simply smiled at me reassuringly and said.

"Yagari-san was informed by your father of your arrival at Cross Academy. He made sure to create a weapon that you would be able to use without hurting yourself. The thing is that the gun would only work once you touched it. Once you activated it, you would be the only one able to touch it. Thank goodness I didn't hold on to it when you activated it!"

I stared at him in disbelief and then looked down at the seemingly innocent gun. What on earth had my father done? What was he planning for me? Did he want me to follow in my mother's steps and be a hunter? Or, did he want to formally introduce me as his heir into the vampire world? Either way, I was going to be a target. Wasn't I hidden away just to avoid all of that?

The Vampire Council wanted me because of my blood and what it could do for them. Because I was half-pureblood vampire my blood gave vampires great power. Any noble or common vampire that drank from me would be almost as strong as any of the purebloods. That's why I had to be protected at all costs. It also didn't help that my blood was so attractive to vampires. Not only that, but I was technically the heir to one of the oldest pureblood lines. My father was one of the oldest purebloods still alive. The Council didn't know that, though. They believed my father had comitted suicide after my mother's death. That wasn't exactly true, he had simply gone to sleep for a couple of years. He was now going to make a huge appearance and show them that he was still alive. How my father could be so strong, I have no idea.

The Hunters wanted me because of my fighting skills, my vast knowledge on vampires, and because of who my mother was. When my mother was alive she taught me all about the Hunters and what they did exactly. She showed me how to shoot a gun at the age of eight, and showed me great self-defense. In addition to that, she told me of the several ways on how to kill a vampire. Since, my father was a pureblood she would make him tell me everything he knew about vampires. Their legends, their history, their weaknesses, and some of the most common powers seen. Although, she would encourage him greatly to tell me about him and about the other purebloods. My father would do anything she wanted just to make her happy. He was greatly rewarded for his cooperation when they would "wrestle". Yeah, I was a bit slow in understanding what that actually meant.

Just thinking about my mother brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. The Council and the Association both wanted me. That was why my dad had kept me locked up for years. He had hidden me away to keep me safe, and it worked. Thanks to him, I was still alive. Now that I was out, I didn't know what was going to happen. To be honest, I was scared. I was really scared. Therefore, if this gun was any form of protection for me then so be it.

I slowly walked towards the gun on the floor and knelt beside it. I carefully wrapped my hand around it and stood up. I then shifted it, to hold it properly, and held it tightly. I could feel my eyes brimming with tears, but I held them down. I simply coughed slightly then looked up at the Headmaster with a small smile and said.

"Thank you so much, Headmaster. I promise to use it wisely."

He simply smiled then nodded happily and replied.

"I hope so, Mackenzie-chan. That gun can fatally injure a vampire. That's why you must always be in control of your emotions."

I nodded understandingly and said.

"Of course, I understand. Now, where do I have to go?"

He simply smiled then replied.

"Well, let me get you a gun holder, so you can have your gun with you at all times."

I simply nodded and watched him walk back to the door where he retrieved my uniform. He then pulled out, what appeared to be a belt, that had a pocket to place my gun in. I stared at the weird looking belt and then asked.

"Um, how do I put that on?"

He then handed it over to me and replied.

"Even though, it may look like a belt that's not what it is. This nice contraption, you actually strap it around your upper body. It will go on the inside of your uniform, so you don't scare anyone. Now remove your top blazer, so I can help you."

I placed the gun on his desk then did as he said. The belt-like thing was then placed over my right shoulder. He then released it and told me to click it together under my left shoulder. I followed his instructions and then shifted the strap, so that I could place my gun inside the gun holder. I clicked the gun in place then grabbed my black blazer and placed it back on. I turned to look at him and asked.

"Can you see the gun?"

He immediately shook his head and replied with a smile.

"Nope. You're finally ready to go, Mackenzie-chan. Oh, and before I forget this is your arm band. This shows that you are a perfect."

I nodded slowly and thanked him then I put on the arm band quickly. He walked towards the door and opened it for me. I took a deep breath and was just about to walk out, when I suddenly remembered my iPod. I quickly walked over to my suitcase then opened the front compartment and pulled my iPod out. I wrapped my headphones around it and placed it in my pocket. There was no way I would be patrolling all night without music. I would be bored beyond belief. I then dashed towards the Headmaster, who was still by the door. He raised an eyebrow at me and I simply smiled sweetly at him. He then smiled and shook his head slightly. I simply grinned and replied cheekily.

"What? I get bored really easily."

He simply laughed at my expression then slowly motioned for me to walk out. We walked away from his office and he was telling me exactly what my job consisted of. The first and most important rule was no blood drinking allowed. NO, exceptions. Then I had to make sure the Day Class students never found out about the Night Class being vampires. I had to make sure everyone was where they were supposed to be at certain times. No Night Class student was allowed near the Sun dorms, and no Day Class student was allowed near the Moon dorms. I had to also protect the Day Class students from any vampire gone crazy. I had to always be present between class change. I also had to do rounds and walk around the school nearly all night, every night. Then I would have to present myself to class the next day. It's times like these, I'm glad I have insomnia.

I slowly nodded my head in complete understanding to what I had to do. The Headmaster then explained that the students wouldn't know me as a guardian. They would know me as a perfect. Because of that, I was able to give out detentions to anyone that refused to listen to me. I really hoped I didn't have to do that. I simply nodded understandingly and replied.

"I think I have everything down, Headmaster."

He nodded slowly and was just about to say something else, when we heard the sounds of a lot of people screaming. I instantly stared up at him questioningly, but he simply chuckled and replied.

"Well, it seems we are here."

I then looked up and noticed a huge cluster of girls surrounding one of the dorms. My guess was that they were the Moon dorms. They looked like the president himself was about to come out the huge doors. Wow, were the Night Class that great? Well, I was going to find out soon enough. I looked up at the Headmaster and he simply smiled at me reassuringly. He then motioned for me to walk on forward. I took a deep breath and then said.

"Well, thank you for everything, Headmaster. I think I can handle it from here."

He nodded then instantly threw his arms around me and exclaimed happily.

"You are quite welcome, Mackenzie-chan! Good luck!"

I gasped for breath and he instantly released me. He then took a step back and turned around to leave. He waved to me before he finally disappeared. I simply smiled then walked towards all the screaming girls. As I continued to get closer, my ears began to ring. Yeah, they were that loud. I flinched slightly at their sounds, but continued walking forward. Once I reached them, I thought my ears would burst.

I went carefully around the huge group of girls and stood slightly near the trees. I looked on forward and saw a girl about my size with short, brown hair telling them to go back to their dorms. She was wearing a uniform similar to mine, so she must've also been a guardian. Well, that was good. At least I had somebody that could help me. The girls only seemed to get more riled up and they began to push forward. I narrowed my eyes and watched as the girl began to push them back. She was being really nice about the whole thing. Some of the girls even had the audacity to accuse her of wanting the Night Class all to herself. Okay, that was messed up. The poor girl was just trying to do her job, and they were being really mean about it.

I was about to step forward and help her out, when I heard the sound of the gates open. The girl looked absolutely devasted and I waited to see what would happen, but to my huge amazement. All of the girls, instantly lined up on either sides of the walkway to let the Night Class pass! Weird... I simply shook my head and looked over to finally see what all the commotion was about.

What was wrong with them? I didn't see anything wrong with the Night Class. Okay, they were all slightly attractive, but how was that a reason to make such a commotion? My dad was a pureblood vampire and he was handsome as well. That was probably why the Night Class really didn't amaze me. So, all of these girls liked the Night Class just because they were beautiful? Was that it? Did they even actually know them? Like personally know them? How could someone love someone else just based on looks? That wasn't possible. These girls really had a lot to learn.

I simply sighed then looked up to see one of the Night Class members waving happily to all the girls. He smiled brightly and said happily.

"Good morning, girls! I could hear your screams all the way inside! You girls are so lively and cute today!"

Morning? What was wrong with him? It wasn't morning. I stared at the vampire and noticed he had messy, blonde hair and piercing, blue eyes. He was okay, if you're into blondes. The girls instantly went wild then screamed and began yelling.

"We love you, Idol-senpai! Marry me, senpai!"

Okay, there was seriously something not right with these girls. They wanted to marry the guy just because he was handsome? Totally not right. So, his name was Idol? What a particularly unique name. I had never met anyone with a name like that. I simply shrugged then looked over and saw the other perfect pushing back the other girls. She seemed to be having a hard time though. I was about to step in, when I saw the blonde vampire point to one of the girls and pretend to shoot her with his finger.

I then saw the other perfect about to be run over by the other girls. I instantly let my eyes shift a blood-red color. Then I dashed away from the trees and pulled her out of the way before she was trampled. I grabbed her around the waist and spun her around to the other side. I was barely able to move her out of the way in time. I instantly looked away from her and closed my eyes, until I knew they were their normal grey color. I blinked slightly then looked over at her and said.

"Are you okay?"

She stared at me in shock for several seconds before she instantly snapped out of it and replied quickly.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. Thank you so much."

I simply smiled at her and replied.

"It was no problem..."

She then shook her head and replied immediately.

"Oh, I'm Yuki. Yuki Cross. Who are you?"

I merely stook my hand out to her and replied.

"My name is Mackenzie. I'm the new perfect. Nice to meet you."

She then smiled brightly and quickly shook my hand.

"It's so nice to meet you too. Thank you for saving me."

I merely waved my hand dismissively and replied with a smile.

"It was nothing. I'm just glad you're okay."

She instantly nodded and then I remembered the girls and the Night Class. I turned around to look at them and they were all staring at me in amazement. Although, I instantly noticed something wasn't right. The Night Class, all of their eyes were a bloody red and they were all staring directly at me. I instantly cringed and took a step back. I really didn't want to be dinner. Suddenly, one of them snapped out of his daze and hissed something under his breath. All of the vampires blinked and instantly shook their heads. I looked to see if any of the Day Class students had noticed their eyes, but to my relief. They were all staring at me.

I simply shifted from foot to foot and scratched the back of my head. I smiled slightly and said.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Mackenzie and I'm the new perfect. So... um... yeah, can all of you just listen to Yuki-chan and go to your dorms? I've had a real tough day and I don't want to get anyone in trouble. So... yeah."

I saw all of the girls instantly blink and shake their heads. All the girls that were surrounding the blonde vampire instantly took a step away from him. Then they came running towards me and they began to ambush me with questions.

"How can you move so fast?"

"I like to run?"

It came out more like a question than an answer. I couldn't tell them exactly why I moved so fast.

"Is your hair naturally violet or did you dye it?"

"Um, natural."

"Your eyes are so pretty! Does your mom or dad have eyes that color?"

"My father."

"How did you become a perfect? You're so lucky!"

"Uh, I really don't know."

"Where are you from?"

"Japan."

"Where did you get those boots? They're so cute!"

"The mall."

They continued to bombard with a lot of questions, until I sighed and said.

"I just got off a five hour flight and I am really tired, girls. Can we leave this for tomorrow in class or at lunch? I promise to answer any and all questions. Besides, it's way past curfew and all of you should already be in bed."

They groaned in unison and looked like they wanted to complain. I simply tilted my head to the side and raised my eyebrows at them. I heard them huff in annoyance and then begin walking away to their dorms. I blinked and simply stared at their retreating backs. They had actually listened to me? No way! That was so awesome! I smiled truly happy and then turned around to smile at Yuki. She gave me the thumbs up and said.

"You did it, Mackenzie-chan! That was so amazing! You didn't even have to yell!"

I smiled at her and replied.

"Sometimes you just have to be nice and firm at the same time. Having some patience also helps."

She nodded happily and then looked over at the Night Class. I looked over as well and realized they were all staring at me. I blushed in embarassment and slowly rubbed the side of my arm. I smiled slightly and said.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't get the girls to leave more quickly. I hope none of you are late to class. If any of you get in trouble, just blame me."

They simply continued to stare at me and my discomfort only seemed to increase. I looked over at Yuki pleadingly and she instantly got the message. She blew her whistle and then said semi-sternly.

"Night Class continue forward!"

They then turned their attention to her and blinked. She was trying her hardest to look fierce and serious, but that only seemed to amuse some of them. I sighed and was about to speak, when one of the vampires instantly came towards me. It was the same blonde vampire that had been attacked by all of the Day Class girls. He smiled at me then took my hand and placed a quick kiss on it. I stared at him confused, but he simply kept on smiling then said.

"My name is, Hanabusa Aido. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mackenzie-chan. Now, can you explain to me how an innocent, little doll like you was able to control all of my fans?"

I blinked and replied.

"Well, I..."

He then grabbed my hand more firmly and pulled me to him. He wrapped his arm casually around my shoulders and said.

"Never mind that. Now, do you know your blood type?"

"Um, I really..."

"That's alright. I just thought you should know that you have the most delicious scent I have ever smelt. Is it alright if I..."

He then grabbed my head and tilted it slightly to the side. I instantly panicked and quickly elbowed him hard. He quickly released me and I took that as my cue to split. I ran back to Yuki and stood close to her. I really didn't want to hurt him or shoot him. Yuki was looking at him with a glare on her face and so was one of the other vampires. I carefully placed my hand on the side of my throat and covered myself. This job was no joke. I could seriously get hurt, if I wasn't careful enough.

The vampire then looked up and glared at me. His eyes shifted and he growled.

"Why you little..."

That's when I heard one of the other vampires say sternly.

"Hanabusa."

I saw Aido immediately lose his frown and his eyes go back to normal. I looked up to see who had spoken and saw a handsome boy staring sternly at Aido. He had brown hair that went to his shoulders and some parts of it hung lightly across his face. He had wine colored eyes and was really tall. To be honest, he was the only one that I considered to actually be beautiful. Although, there was just something off about him, he wasn't like the rest of the vampires. He had this aura of...power. Almost... almost like... my dad. Oh my God! No way! Was he...?

I was taken out of my thoughts when I heard Aido say.

"Yes, Kaname-sama?"

Aido was standing right infront of the taller vampire looking really frightened. I nearly tripped over my boots, when I saw the tall vampire lift his hand and...

SLAP!

I gasped in horror as I watched Aido fall to the floor. Yeah, he had been hit that hard. I blinked and instantly took a step back. Everyone, including Yuki, simply stared at the taller vampire. What was his name? Kaname? Kaname-sama. Sama? Then that meant... he was a pureblood! I felt like actually vomiting at that moment. It was one thing if a noble or common vampire bit me, but it was a completely different thing if a pureblood bit me.

I snapped out of my frightened thoughts then ran over to Aido and said quickly.

"Oh my God! Do you need to go to the nurse? Are you okay?"

I heard nearly all of the vampires gasp in shock. I simply decided to ignore them and see if Aido was alright. His head snapped over to stare at me with a confused look. I simply smiled at him and said.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm simply asking you if you're okay. That looked like it hurt."

He simply continued to stare at me and didn't reply. I then grabbed a hold of his jacket and tried helping him stand, but he refused to move. I was about to ask him what his deal was, when I heard the other vampire say.

"Leave him."

I instantly jumped up in surprise and looked over at the taller vampire. He was staring at me with a calm face, but his eyes looked fierce. I blinked at him and was about to make some retort when I remembered exactly who he was. I instantly bowed my head and replied.

"Of course, I apologize."

Then I unwillingly moved away from Aido and went back to stand by Yuki. That tall vampire really scared me. Like no joke, he terrified me. He was just really creepy. Although, I was really curious as to why Aido had been hit. I then looked over and saw that Aido was now kneeling on one knee with his head down. I felt so bad for him. Then Kaname spoke and said.

"Do you know why I struck you, Hanabusa?"

He kept his head down and replied.

"Because I attempted to drink blood on school grounds and in your presence. I apologize, Kaname-sama."

I then saw another blonde vampire turn to the rest of the vampires and tell them to head on to class. All of them nodded and slowly passed Aido towards the school building. Yuki then said that she was going to follow them and make sure they made it to class. I simply nodded then watched them walk away. I was brought back to the drama infront of me when I heard Kaname say.

"That is part of it, and what else?"

I noticed Aido frown then suddenly blink in surprise and say.

"Because I was about to insult Mackenzie-chan."

I blinked and stared at him in shock. I looked over at Kaname and saw him nod his head then reply.

"That is correct. Now, apologize to her and go to class."

Aido turned his head to look at me and said sincerely.

"I apologize for nearly insulting you, Mackenzie-chan."

I simply stared at him in shock, but quickly replied.

"It's alright, Aido. Don't worry about it, and I'm sorry for hitting you. I shouldn't have done that."

He slowly nodded his head and stood up. He quickly turned around and walked away to class. I really couldn't help but feel bad for him. He didn't deserve to get hit like that. So he slipped, it wasn't the end of the world. I merely sighed and shook my head. Now, I knew why my dad didn't want me around other vampires. They took this whole monarchy thing really seriously. I would never place my hands on someone else like that.

I was brought out my thoughts when I realized I was now left alone with a pureblood. I instantly began to panic and I just wanted to get away from him. I backed away from him and said quickly.

"Um, well I must go now. It was nice meeting you, Kaname-sama. Goodbye."

I was about to walk away from him, when his hand flashed forward and grabbed my hand tightly. I held back at scream and simply stared at him fearfully. He gave a very unnoticeable smile and said calmly.

"There is no reason to fear me, my dear Mackenzie. I am not going to hurt you."

Did he just call me dear? Okay, that was not a good sign. I slowly gulped and laughed nervously. I smiled slightly and replied.

"I... I know that, Kaname-sama. It's just that you are the...uh... first pureblood I've met so far. I'm just really nervous that I might anger you and you will..."

He then brought our conjoined hands up and slowly kissed the inside of my wrist. My heart then seemed to skip a beat and I started shaking. He chuckled, but it wasn't a normal chuckle. It was more like a dark, amused chuckle. I whimpered lowly, but didn't move from my place. Then literally out of nowhere I heard the click of a gun and someone say.

"Take your filthy hands the hell off of her, bloodsucker."

I quickly looked up to see who had spoked and I nearly passed out. It couldn't be!
