Chapter 1: Pure Blood

Twilight was approaching the Cross Academy campus. Shadows formed in the Moonlight Mansion on the west side of the school, figures becoming restless. The gates to the Mansion opened and ten figures in white school uniforms hemmed with black designs walked towards the school campus.

Yuki cross is a Guardian of the Night Class and was to get all of the humans of the Day Class into their dorms. A few lingered, refusing her orders to go. All of the human girls squealed with delight as they saw the beautiful boys from the Night Class, and tried to go and greet them. They toppled Yuki in the process and ran straight to the black haired Kaname Kuran.

Kaname sighed. "Please go back to your dorms." His eyes were remained closed as his deep voice spoke, giving the girls chills.

"Let them stay and talk a little." Aido spoke up from behind Kaname. His blonde spiky hair conflicted with his violet eyes.

Kaname ignored him as he started flirting with the girls. He walked over to Yuki still sitting on the ground from getting trampled. "Are you alright, Yuki?" Kaname extended his hand out to her.

"Y-yeah…" Yuki looked up into his blood red eyes and blushed. She grabbed his hand and he helped her up. "There are always a few that don't listen." She glared at Aido. He was particularly close to one of the girl's neck.

"Aido!" A strong voice came from behind Yuki. She turned around and saw Zero Kiryu. "Leave the girls alone so they can get back to their dorms." His gaze narrowed and shifted from Aido to Kaname.

Kaname just kept his blank emotionless face and paid him no mind. "See you after class, my dear girl." He held a strand of Yuki's hair and kissed it. Her face flushed immediately. Kaname departed, ignoring the death gaze that Zero was giving him. "Let's go." His group followed him to the school as the human girls returned to their dorms.

"Come on." Zero turned around, closing his turquoise eyes and his silver hair flowing in the breeze.

"Alright." Yuki followed him quietly, her mind still on Kaname. She always felt all giddy around him. The fact that he was a pureblood vampire didn't bother her at all. He could turn her into a vampire anytime he bit her neck, unlike Zero. Kaname would always be dear to her since he is the one who saved her from a vampire in the first place. Zero was very close to her as well and has been since the Chairman took him under his wing.

"You better get some sleep before we escort the Night Class back." Zero said, not looking her in the face.

"I never sleep in between. You know that. You can sleep if you want." Yuki said happily.

"Then just go relax!" Zero yelled at her, causing her to flinch under his now angry gaze.

"Why are you so angry?! I think you're the one who needs the nap." She yelled back at him.

"I do not need a nap. Kaname is just bugging me is all. He thinks he is the only one that can protect you from those stupid vampires of his." Zero closed his eyes and continued walking to the Chairman's private quarters where the two of them stayed.

"Why are you jealous of him? He only helped me up off of the ground." Yuki ran in front of him and opened the door to the room first and entered. "You help me way more than that."

Zero had a confused look on his face. "How?"

"Well, you always make sure you are around me in case something happens. Sometimes I think you actually care more about me than you think…" Yuki walked into her room and her last sentence was quiet and she didn't think Zero would hear it, but he did.

"What did you say?" Zero asked, following her.

"Nothing." Yuki said as she walked in front of him and bent over to pick up her dirty uniform from yesterday. She stood back up and turned around.

Zero's arms wrapped around her and held her in place. Her heart skipped a beat and a velvet red blush rose to her cheeks. "Zero…?"

"Shhh…" Escaped his lips which were right next to her ear. "Why do you say things like that and think that they won't affect me any?" He kissed her ear and licked the ear lobe.

"Zero… What are you doing?" She closed her eyes hoping her heart would slow down its rapid beat in her chest.

A loud knock sounded on the door and caused both of them to jump about five feet in the air. Yuki ran to the door, leaving Zero cursing under his breath. "Who is it?"

"It's just me, Yuki." The headmaster's voice came from the other side of the door.

"You know you don't have to knock since this is your room." Zero said while Yuki opened the door letting him in.

"I know, but it's just common manners, Zero." He walked in and sat on the nearest bed. "We have a commotion downstairs with the night class. We also have a Level E Vampire lurking around the estate."

"Alright. I'll go see what is wrong with the Night Class." Yuki said.

"It's not going to be easy. One of them accidentally gave themselves a paper cut and the others are going crazy. Kaname is nowhere to be found at the moment. Be careful." The chairman warned.

"I'll be fine." Yuki bounded out the door with the sacred staff. She ran down the stairs and then down the hallway, throwing open the door on the right.

Aido was licking at Ruka's paper cut on her finger with all of the others around her, waiting for a drop of blood with their name on it. Yuki stepped in the room with her guard up. They all turned to stare at her with desiring eyes. The staff was ripped from her grasp by Shiki who stood next to the door. Her arms were held down with one of his, as he held her tightly. Her tie was ripped off and the top two buttons on her shirt undone. Shiki licked her neck, ready to sink his fangs into her skin..
