Chapter One: The Mission

A Royal Guard is someone who serves as a "protector" those protectors will do anything and everything to behold the safety of the Royal Family. The instructor spoke,he was a small man with rugged hands and hair that looked a mist somber Grey. I remembered ever so clearly the first time I met this man I saw him as a lightweight until I soon met him in the blazing battlefield. He kicked my butt to say the least but it was more of a warning then a threat.

"Rosemary Fortress is something you shall learn to adapt to.." I sighed and looked back behind me sensing a presence gawking at my form, there he was the ever so great Ara Yoshida or should I say my stalker..

"Yoshida-san ... shouldn't you be on patrol?" I asked annoyed by the red heads presence.

I noticed ever so slightly he had his eyes gazed upon my chest area, "Yoshida-san if you wouldn't mind I would like it if you looked at my face when speaking to me", he blushed in embarrassment seeing as he got caught. The embarrassment only lasted for a slight second before he responded,"We got off early so I thought I would check on my favorite girl". He had a smile plastered upon his face that gave the look of a complete pedophile. For some messed up reason this creep thought he had a chance with me and hasn't stopped hitting on me ever since I was enlisted.

I mean it was bad enough I had to suffer working for the Royal Court for the rest of my life now to make matters worse he entered... thankfully before he had gotten another chance to open his perverted mouth a messenger came in.

"Blair-san you have been summoned by Ouji-sama" he spoke while bowing in mine and Yoshida's presence. "Thank god.." I thought "there was no way I could handle another minute with this man..". "Thank you I shall leave at once", I then turned towards Yoshida and bowed lightly to dismiss myself from this scenario before running off along the pathway towards the main entrance of the Fortress. I could still hear Yoshida cursing under his breath as I reached the main gates.

Inside Rosemary Fortress

Over the past years Tempest became known as the most deadly of the Royal Guard's inside Rosemary Fortress, she placed fear in most Aristocrats and common vampires and dare she say even some pure bloods. She had reached several halls and taken a few U-turns before deciding that she was officially lost.

"Unbelievable...after all these years living in this place I still have no clue on how I managed to get lost!" I thought getting frustrated.

I had no clue as to what level of the fortress I was on let alone where I was. After several minutes of searching and turning I felt tired and defeated. My eyes skimmed over towards two twin doors decorated in small golden implants. I managed to open the left door and slowly stepped inside, reveling behind the door was a room, it consisted of a king sized bed with golden decor and matching night stand tables along with several dressers.

There was a golden array of sofas placed at a corner of the room settled along side a ruby table. Who ever this room belonged to sure must be rich! I mean look at this place! It was sized as two large kitchens and a small living room. I soon was starting to get lost in my train of thoughts as I unconsciously skimmed over three unopened doors glued onto the Victorian walls.

My curiosity evoked me while I walked towards the first door, once I turned the door knob it had raveled a personal study. I then immediately regretted walking into that study as I saw an all to familiar figure standing along a book shelf while a book had been placed in his pale hands. "Oh.. no.. no no no no no! I'm screwed!" I closed my eyes and reopened them only to see that my savior had now been staring standing no more then a few inches away from me.

"O..Ouji-s.. sama" I bowed stuttering in fear, I quickly apologized and closed my eyes while my head had still be facing the ground. I squeezed my eyes shut praying mentally for my dear life, soon after I felt a cold hand placed upon my right shoulder signaling me to make eye contact. I responded to the cool touch by lifting my head and saw the ocean blue eyes of the Crown Prince,I slowly started sinking into his majestic eyes until his voice snapped my slightly paralyzed form.

"This was not the way I had expected you to meet me" he spoke hiding the humor from his voice, "Any how since your already here I will tell you what I have called you for". We both sat down near his desk onto the golden sofas. He told me that I would have to complete this mission that he had assigned to me in order to finish my final transition stage.

"Listen to me I can only protect you from the council for so long, this is why you must do this in order to gain their trust and acceptance". He spoke as he sighed casually placing a hand onto his forehead. " I will do what I can to interfere but the rest depends on you, Cross will already know of your arrival while Yoshida briefs you of your cover". "I understand Ouji-sama I shall do my best", "Good".

He caught me off guard as he placed a small kiss onto my left cheek before dismissing me to meet with Yoshida. I quickly existed his chambers with blush covering my face.

In the Courtyard

I met up with the pervert and listened while he explained my cover. I was to play the role of Mari Fuwa the only niece of Kaien Cross. Mari's mother and father had died in a car accident so she was therefore taken into the care of Kaien, it had seemed like a semi believable story but it would have to do. In the upcoming future I noted that I would have to come up with events of my past life, it was easy considering fake background history had been placed by the council,so I could go on from there.

Yoshida told me that my luggage and car were all ready to be set out, I bid him farewell and walked in the direction my car. He gave me a slide comment about missing me, while I walked I could sense that his eyes were glued onto my bottom portion as I stepped inside the car. "You have got to be kidding me..." I shot him a quick warning glare causing him to divert his eyes to another direction.

"All ready Ma'am?" the driver asked glancing at the reflection mirror. I gave him a quick nod signaling him to leave, he soon after started up the car and left the gates of Rosemary Fortress.

"Well here goes nothing.. I wonder how eventful Cross Academy will be..."
