Summary: A young girl, by the name of Haruhi Nekohime turns up at Cross Academy. With her race of half human, and half cat people with her, they're sure to shake up the school, and kick the vampires off their pedestal. But what happens when Aidou and Zero wind up as her slaves, Aidou by force and Zero pulled into it. Otherwise, this sure will be interesting...
A/N: Tadaa! I had an inspiration. I love cat ears, and VK. So I thought, why not combine the two? Here is a lovely little story about Zero, Aidou and a certain cat eared, tough, stubborn cat girl.
Chapter 1
It's the sound of confusion. Of outright delirium. The part, where the main protagonist falls into delusion, starting a maniacal laugh. That's where my life leads. Into the slight part, where life becomes a game, no longer reality. I guess I should explain. I am Haruhi Nekohime. A cat person. Yes, cat person. And I'm on the road. I mean literally on the road. I haul my large bags up. Cross academy looms in the distance. I pull on the bags in my hands, and trudge up the numerous steps. It's all too silent, way too silent. I reach the tops of the stairs. I put my bags down and flex my arms. I yank my beanie down even more.
"Come out, come out wherever you are." I whisper. And then, I'm surrounded by many vampires. No humans. I look up and smile. "Why hello there." I chirp. I reach into my jumper, but I feel a cold piece of metal pressed up to my head. I slowly take my hand away from my most prized possession, my spear.
"Drop your hand." A low voice growls. It's coming from where the cold metal is pressed against me. I slowly turn my head. A silver haired, purple eyed teenager, with what seems to be a permanent scowl is etched on his face. A million moves flip through my head, until I land on the perfect one. The one that will hit his weakness. I pull out my leg, like I was going to kick him, which I'm not going to. He lunges forward to catch my leg, and when he does, I flip into the air. I flip behind him, pulling my leg out of his grasp. I feel my tail appear, and flick around behind me. I land in a crouch, and hiss at him. I pounce up, but am instantly pinned down by strong vampire hands. I struggle and hiss underneath them.
"Get off me!" I snarl. I try to flip upwards, but they keep me pinned down. I snarl and snap at their hands. I might seem almost primal, but it's in defence. Well, I think so. I struggle hard to control myself when I fight. Once, it took me two weeks to get back to normal after one exceptionally big fight.
"What are you all going?" I hear a manly but girly yell. I turn my head. Headmaster Cross! Kaien Cross! My saviour! I feel myself revert back to normal. My tail disappears, and my ears shrink down to normal size, then disappear completely too.
"Help me Kaien!" I call out. Then a vampire appears behind him. Long brown hair, and dark red wine coloured eyes. A slender, female looking build, but he's definitely male. I hiss, and feel my ears prick up again.
"Who's he?" I growl. I feel someone stomp my head, and my face grinds into the gravel.
"Don't speak to Master Kaname like that!" The foot comes off my head. I peel my head off the ground slightly, and I spit out some gravel from inside my mouth.
"Aidou! Stop that!" The brunette yells at whoever just put their foot on me. "All of you stop!" He commands. I feel, one by one, arms, legs and hands peel off me. I stand up on shaky legs. I look at my attackers. If I was an ordinary human, I'd say they are all very good looking, but I've seen better. My kind is much, much, better looking.
"What an outrageous thing!" I exclaim. "To think, I thought I'd at least get a civilized greeting! Kaien, these vampires need to be kept in line. And is that what I guess the pureblood is for?" I glare at the male brunette, or as was said before, Kaname. All of the vampires look shocked that I knew their secret. I dust myself off and grab my bags.
"Gentlemen and ladies, I'd appreciate if you accompanied me while I take Haruhi in, and I shall explain everything. Zero, Aidou, take her bags." Kaien says, gesturing to a spiky haired blonde male and the silver haired male. They come over and grab my bags out of my hands. They grab my smallest bag, but I yank it away and hold is close.
"Mine." I snap. The spiky haired blonde glares at me. "Well, you must be Aidou. I don't particularly appreciate having my head slammed down. You do realise that?" I growl at him. He shivers and looks away from my gaze.
"Come this way Haruhi." Kaien says.
"Call me Haru." I mutter. I follow them to the Headmaster's office. Kaien gestures for me and everyone else to take a seat, and coincidentally, I end up next to the guy who threatened to kill me. What did the headmaster say his name was? Oh, Zero. I glare, and then whip my head around to face the headmaster.
"I would like you to all apologise to Haruhi, for what you did to her." Kaien said, and almost simultaneously there were cries for discontent towards him.
"I don't care if you don't like it; you just hurt a very important person in the Neko Human world. So apologise, and mean it!" Muffled apologies came out. "Why you-"
"No Kaien, it's fine. I don't really care; I did tempt them after all. I am just as equally to blame as they are." I said, folding my arms. I looked him in the eye, and he sighed.
"Haru, would it be appropriate if I explained the situation?" He asked me. I nod.
"Yes, but, I'd rather if I did though."
"Fine, stand up and please tell them." I stand up, and smooth my jeans, getting rid of some of the gravel and dirt. I clear my throat and look at them all.
"I am Haruhi Nekohime. I come from the very prestigious Nekohime line. The Nekohime line is a very old cat human line. A long time ago, one of my ancestors, had the power to turn human, he was a male cat, and when he turned human once, he fell in love with another human, a female. He begged his god to turn him permanently human, so he could be with her, and the god agreed, with a condition, all of his future descendants would be burdened with cat ears and tails, but they would only go away to be necessary to be able to fit in with society. He agreed. And now, my clan, whom which my father is the head of; all have cat ears and tails, that, can disappear in society. They only appear in dire circumstances, or when we let them out. An example of dire circumstances is for example when you all attacked me. I am the daughter of my clan leader, and I have been sent here, along with many of the noble's children, to socialise properly with humans. We are the Afternoon class. The noble's children attend school tomorrow, so be prepared." I said, and then I sat down.
"And you just let her in?" Zero blurted out next to me. I looked at him in repulsion.
"I'd be quiet if I were you vampire, level D. I am just of as prestigious nature as your purebloods are." I said. Gasps ran through the room.
"Yes, I have read up on your culture and history. Quite a sad history. And also," I said, turning towards Zero, "I have never seen a vampire hunter whom is also a vampire."
"I have not just let her in on a whim. I also plan to reconcile with all mysterious creatures, and better educate the human world. Just like all of you, the Nekohime clan, is frowned upon, seen as demons that'll kidnap you." Kaien said.
"But how do you know she's not one?" Comes a cry from Aidou. He is glaring right at me, with utter hatred.
"I know her father. I grew up with him, unbeknownst to his real identity. When he finally told me, I said I would keep it secret, as long as his children, and the noble's children made their homes here. He was very enthusiastic about it, and here you are." Kaien said, smirking proudly.
"Exactly, I hope you welcome me and my clan."
"What will be their lesson times?" The pureblood, Kaname asked.
"From halfway through the Day class, to the half of the beginning of the Night class. That is it." Kaien said. He turned to Zero.
"Zero, I would like you to show Haruhi where the new dorms were built." He said, looking at him in the eye. "And carry her bags." Zero groaned and got up; he picked up my bags, leaving the small one to me.
"All of them Zero."
"No, it's fine. This is a very special bag, only I can carry it, believe me, you don't want him to touch it." Kaien nodded his head and gestured for us to leave.
The walk was awkward and quiet. I kept my hands in my jeans pocket, but I shivered slightly. I hadn't anticipated it to be this cold. I felt my teeth start to chatter slightly. But, I must stay in my stiff and cool composure. But, I can feel my composure disappear, as I begin to shake quite badly. Zero stares at me.
"Are you okay?" He asks me, looking me up and down.
"J-j-just f-fine." I chatter. He raises an eyebrow. He puts the bags down and beckons me over. I cautiously walk over and he shakes off his jacket.
"You're cold right?"
"A l-little b-bit." I manage to get out. He places the jacket around my shoulders. He gives a little laugh and I feel my cheeks go red. He picks the bags back up and continues walking.
"Aren't you going to be cold now Zero?" I ask him, looking down at the ground. He chuckles a little and I can almost hear him smile.
"No, I'm a vampire; I just use it to fit in. But, you, you're a real human, so you need to stay warm." I look up and sure enough, he's smiling.
"You have a nice smile." I say, scrutinising the lovely planes of his soft looking, pale, white skin. He frowns again.
"Ugh, please don't start that. I have enough girls looking for me to smile. Especially-" He cuts off. He looks away, the scowl back on his face.
"It's that Yuuki girl am I right?" He looks back at me instantly, a startled look on his face.
"H-how?" He gasps. I shrug.
"The Headmaster used to send me photos, and he showed me one of you and her. I just didn't recognise you, because you were quiet young in the photo." I sniff the air. He looks startled again.
"What is it?"
"Do the vampire's around here normally stalk the new students?" I said, sniffing the air more, feeling my tail and ears spring out.
"I don't know. I wouldn't think so." Zero growls.
"Well, they decided to this time." I snarled. I sniffed the air again.
"Stay quiet Zero. I want them to know that I don't appreciate being followed." He opens his mouth to protest, but seeing the feral look in my eyes, thinks otherwise of it. I follow the smell of a vampire. My tail flicks violently around behind me. A slight rustle in the trees above me makes my head snap up. I crouch low and jump right up. I keep jumping up, following the smell. I land on a branch behind one, no two.
"Where's she gone?" One asks. It's the blonde from earlier, Aidou. Next to him, is another spiky blonde. I think, his name is Akatsuki Kain. I place my head to one side, and see Zero on the ground, staring wide eyed at where I'd just disappeared from.
"I don't know, or care. What's the point anyway? We're directly disobeying Headmaster Cross and Kaname. Lets go back home." Akatsuki says, yawning.
"Looking for me boys?" I hiss. Akatsuki falls backwards, off the tree, and Aidou jumps up and hits his head on another branch. He slowly turns to face me, and gives me a sheepish smile. A groan comes from below, and I look down to see Zero has his gun pointed on Akatsuki's forehead.
"Don't move." He growls at him. He looks up to see me, and his eyes widen. "Haruhi! Look out!" He shouts at me. I turn back the see that the branch is slowly freezing up. And Aidou is making his descent towards me. I spring backwards and use the tree trunk to jump forwards and I land on my feet on the ground. Aidou turns around sharply and looks at me, with wide eyes and an open mouth. I beckon him forward with a finger. He jumps off the tree and lands square on his feet. I roll my neck and growl at him. I bend into a crouching position. My tail flicks violently and my ears pull back. He stands in a defensive stance and I charge. But I run right past him. Up the tree, and off another branch. I jump from tree to tree, with Aidou's eyes following me in a hurry, as he tries to keep up with me. I jump into the air and roll, and I land behind him. He was just about to turn around when I kicked him in the back. He landed on the ground with a loud thump.
"And, you're reason for following us is?" I snarl, putting my boot onto his face. "Or would you like me to grind your face this time?"
"I'll tell you!" Aidou spits out. I lower myself down until I'm close to his face.
"So why did you?" I growl.
"I wanted to make sure you weren't up to anything!" He struggles beneath me.
"Fine, but as punishment, you Aidou, will be my slave until all of the afternoon class is settled in. Understand?"
"Yes! I'll do it!" He groans as I lift my boot off his face. He stands up and looks me in the eye. I'm almost as tall as him, so I can be just as intimidating.
"You do understand this will be hard?" I tell him.
"Yes. But I'll do it on one condition."
"And that is?"
"Zero does it too." He snaps, staring right at Zero. Zero's mouth fell open.
"Agreed."
"Oh shit."
