Author's Note: I wanted to write something a bit different than my last attempt at writing fan-fiction. I haven't written something like this in quite a long while, and it also marks the first time in six years I have made a fan-fic with any original characters of my own creation involved. I hope you are all fair to them and at least give them a chance to shine please!
The sun was going down fast, and the twilight hours at Cross Academy were fast approaching. With it being so close to the switch-over between the Day and Night Classes, Yuki didn't know why she was being summoned by the headmaster just minutes before the end of the school day.
Knocking twice before entering the Headmaster's office, Yuki politely called out, "Hello? Headmaster?"
Kaien Cross, the headmaster of Cross Academy and Yuki's foster father, sat behind his desk and smiled when he saw his daughter enter the room, "Yuki! So good to see you! Please sit down; we need to talk about something."
"O-okay…" I wonder what this could be about… She went and sat down in one of the chairs in front of the desk. "So…what is it?"
Removing his glasses, the Headmaster rubbed his eyes, "We're waiting for Zero to show up. He'll want to hear about this as well."
Just as he finished his sentence the door opened again, and in stepped the boy they were just talking about.
Yuki's partner in the Disciplinary Committee, Zero Kiryu, and from the look on his face he was in a rather sour mood too. Late as always I see Zero.
"Headmaster, you do know what time it is right? The Day Class will be getting out to smother the Night Class."
"I know Zero but this is important enough to warrant attention. Since classes are just about over I will make this short." He put his glasses back on and began, "You see, we have a couple new arrivals coming to the Academy this evening. In fact they should be here any moment. I was going to ask you two to escort them to their dorms."
"Oh? New students? For which class?" New students were a rare thing at the Academy, especially so far into the school year.
The Headmaster's response was brief, "The Night Class."
Both Zero and Yuki looked at each other before turning back to the headmaster.
Zero then spoke to the headmaster, and hearing this bit of news seemed to make his mood go from bad to worse. "We're to be bodyguards again?"
Here we go again… Yuki thought.
"Just for tonight Zero, after that they can take care of themselves. It's just they have never been to this school so they might not understand what is truly going on. Worst case scenario is that they unwittingly reveal their true nature as vampires to the Day Class students. If that were to happen well- *ahem* It would put my nerves to rest if you two would do this as you are the only ones I can trust in this situation."
Yuki nodded, "Got it sir! Leave it to us! Right Zero—huh?" She had turned to her friend but he was already walking out the door much to the girl's embarrassment.
"Geez…"
The headmaster sighed, and that was when the bell rang.
That sound broke Yuki out of her stupor, "Uh oh! Got to go! See you later headmaster!" She ran out the door and slammed it shut behind her.
The Day Class students were already beginning to converge on the entrance to the Moon Dorm where the Night Class slept during the day.
Zero was already on the scene keeping the students back, though he had his hands in his pant pockets and his back to them, they were too scared to try and go past him. In the case that someone tried he would either do one of two things: glare at them, or growl some sort of threat. Those who were really unlucky got both.
If it were only that easy for Yuki, who was armed only with a whistle to try and calm the ever growing crowd of girls and some boys wanting desperately to see the Night Class. The door to the Moon Dorm hadn't even opened yet.
That soon changed as the large stone doors started to open, and sudden collective gasp from the crowd made Yuki realize that trouble had arrived.
The large door opened, and the Night Class started to casually walk on out the gate.
Such a commotion outside the gates was an everyday thing for the Night Class and most of them were so used to the reactions from the Day Class that they paid little to no attention to them at all.
Well, except Aido Hanabusa that is. "Hello girls!" His smile alone made the girls squeal even more.
He seemed to enjoy the attention so much that he tried to talk to the blushing and fainting girls as he passed them much to the annoyance of his cousin Kain Akatsuki.
"Hanabusa...do you enjoy annoying the rest of us so early in the day?" Kain, a calm and collected young vampire who for some reason had been given the nickname 'Wild' by the Day Class girls, tried to keep his cousin in line to little avail. As for the nickname it didn't seem to fit him whatsoever but it stuck like glue regardless.
Aido ignored his complaint, "Lighten up Akatsuki."
"Not everyone here likes to be irritated by something like this, Aido," said Ruka who was walking beside Kain. She was never a fan of the treatment from the Day Class girls and even the boys. It always irritated her.
From behind her were fellow Night Class students Shiki Senri and Rima Toya, holding hands and walking as though they were alone in the world. They stayed out of conversation that had little to do with them.
Other than Aido there was one Night Class student who made a few goodhearted attempts at greeting the Day Class that welcomed him every evening. Takuma Ichijo, the Vice President of the Night Class. "It's nice to see them so lively every day." He waved at a shy girl who he swore fainted a second later. Luckily she was caught by her friends.
Finally, the tallest student in the Night Class walked calmly with the others, but as he walked his eyes went to the side and he instantly made eye-contact with Yuki.
The guardian saw Kaname looking at her as she tried to hold back the crowd, "Good evening Kaname."
"Keep up the good work, and be careful Yuki," Kaname replied with a small smile that made Yuki blush.
"Y-Yes! WAHH!" The Day Class girls nearly trampled over her and she had to push them back.
It was nearly ten minutes later, with eight of those minutes forcing the Day Class students to return to their dorm for curfew, that Zero and Yuki had everything under control again.
Yuki sat down on a bench near the Sun Dorm entrance, "Geez...it doesn't get any easier does it?" 'I can understand why they'd go crazy though. The Night Class students are beautiful...captivating...' Her thoughts then went to Kaname and she shook her head. 'But man how do you manage to keep them in line?"
Zero didn't answer.
Then Yuki remembered what the headmaster had told them earlier, "Oh yeah! We got to go and meet up with the new students! They might have arrived already. Come on Zero."
She ran off and Zero calmly followed her, not in any rush to catch up with Yuki.
As luck would have it, a carriage was pulling into the driveway of the Academy when Yuki went past the gate. It was a black coach pulled by a single white horse.
"Must be an aristocrat," she said as she started to catch her breath. She stood up straight as the driver of the coach got up and went to the door of the carriage and opened it.
Out stepped a young man wearing a dark grey overcoat over black pants and a red and grey shirt with a spiral design over it. He had black hair which went to the base of his neck and the bangs below his eyebrows along his temples.
The two men held out their hands and the second person came out of the carriage. This time it was a young woman with long hair colored platinum blond, the tips of her hair grazing her slim shoulders and went to the middle of her back. Her eyes were the brightest red that Yuki had ever seen, almost hypnotizing to her.
"Those must be the new students," Zero said, startling Yuki out of her vision.
SMACK!
She had smacked Zero's shoulder.
"OW!"
"Your fault for scaring me you jerk!"
A softer voice broke up the argument, "Excuse me. Are you two with the Headmaster?"
The guardians turned their attention to the girl before them on the lower landing as the carriage pulled away.
Yuki spoke first, "Yeah, I'm Yuki Cross the Headmaster's daughter, and this is my partner Zero Kiryu. We're members of the Disciplinary Committee here at Cross Academy."
The girl smiled happily, and Yuki could see the tips of her fangs from in her mouth and she spoke, "Ah...well, my name is Sera Reinhardt, and this is my friend Viktor Nachtmahr. We're new students to Cross Academy."
