Hey (I forgot to add this little commentary section before I submitted this, but oh wells o.o...)! This story idea has probably been in the back of my mind for a year, and I've finally decided to do something about it lol. I just hope I don't give up on it half way -_-... Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

PROLOGUE

"Airi Wakahisa. From today on, you will live in the Sun Dormitory and take classes here at Cross Academy." The headmaster, Kaien Cross, smiled as he gave me an overview of my new school. I had been under the care of the Hunter's Association for two years, and just now they decided that it'd be better for me to start attending high school.

"Why exactly did the Hunter's Association send me here?" I had to ask, even though I already had a pretty good idea as to why.

The headmaster's face turned serious in an instant. "As you are aware, many purebloods are ready to start a war in order to get their hands on you." He continued, "Therefore, I'm putting you into the care of my son. He's an excellent vampire hunter."

"Umm, I appreciate your offer, but I really can't bother your son with that." I hated being a burden to others. Always. I thought leaving the Hunter's Association would free me of that.

"Don't worry about him! He's also a student here, so you won't be in the way at all!" The headmaster returned to his bubbly self, and to be honest, it was kinda creepy how quickly his mood changed.

Just then, the door behind me opened, and a tall, silver-haired guy entered the room. He noticed me as I looked back at him. He was extremely handsome, yet his eyes brought fear into mine. "Who is this scary person?" I thought to myself as I shuddered.

"Who's that?" he asked the Headmaster, who replied, "Airi Wakahisa. I want you to look after her, Zero." So this boy, apparently named Zero, was the Headmaster's son. Their personalities were complete opposites though.

"Why would I do that?" Zero had an irritated look. "Why would I look after a PUREBLOOD?" He glared at me.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention something. I'm a pureblood vampire.

CHAPTER1

I awkwardly sat in Kaien Cross's office as a fired up vampire hunter argued with a calm headmaster.

"Why the hell should a VAMPIRE HUNTER protect a FUCKING VAMPIRE?" Zero demanded answers as to why the headmaster was expecting him to look after me. I, too, wanted to know why. I couldn't understand how you could expect this guy to protect me when he's been giving me death glares left and right. The headmaster must have noticed those glares because he subtly told me to wait outside of his office until things settled down.

After leaving the office, I could still hear the two of them battling it out.

"The Hunter's Association is trusting us with her. We can't afford to let other purebloods touch her," the headmaster explained.

Zero's retaliated with, "That's complete bullshit. In case you forgot, THAT GIRL IS ALSO A FUCKING PUREBLOOD. Who gives a shit what other purebloods want to do with her."

The headmaster closed his eyes for a moment to think. "I understand your frustration, Zero, especially with the kind of past you've had. However, with little information on this girl, all we can do is trust the Hunter's Association."

Zero groaned, "Whatever." The door slammed, and I watched as Zero left the office.

Zero turned around, glared at me once more, and said, "Are you coming or not?" I jumped. This was the first time his bitter voice was directed at me.

I quickly apologized, as I followed Zero, who walked about ten steps ahead of me. I was scared to get any closer to the cold-hearted vampire hunter.

We walked to the Sun Dormitory, which was the place where the human students lived. Across from there was the Moon Dormitory, where the vampires lived. I was told by the headmaster that I would need to lay low about my pureblood status, so he enrolled me in the Sun Dorm rather than the Moon Dorm.

Zero finally stopped walking and opened the door to my new dorm room. He handed me the keys and walked away without saying a thing. I hesitated, but said, "Th-thank you," in a shaky voice.

Zero came to a stop, upon hearing my words. "Don't thank me." He turned around, as his eyes met mine. Suddenly, he pulled his gun from his pocket, and pointed it directly at the only vampire in the Sun Dormitory, me. "If I had a choice, you'd be dead already." I shuddered at those words because I knew he was serious.

Zero slowly lowered his gun and turned back around to leave. "Take that as a warning."

Still in shock, I entered my room and shut the door. "I'm pretty sure I'd be safer without that guy's 'protection'," I sighed. But if the Hunter's Association had so much faith in Zero, then I knew I should, too. "On the bright side, he's not what I am, a vampire," I thought, as I gripped my neck tightly.

"As long as THAT never happens again, I'll be okay," I told myself.
