1st Night:
I glanced at the infinite darkness that got lighter outside the car window, then to my side where Vaeda was sleeping soundly against my shoulder. Her hair was a messy light blonde and she was small like a little kid. We'd known each other for about ten years so we're best friends.
"Why don't you get some sleep Ameratsu, we do have another hour or so before we arrive at Cross Academy." The older man named Touga said. He had wavy black hair and a beautifully bright blue eye, his other was injured in an accident so he covers it with a leather eye patch.
"Alright I guess it couldn't hurt." I replied, turning my head back toward the window sliding my elbow on to the arm handle and resting on my palm. I took one last glimpse at the darkness that was starting to ease into a light purple with small wrinkles of pink. Finally, I closed my eyes and drifted into unconsciousness.

I lifted my head with a stiff crack from my palm; I lifted my hands above my head stretching out my sides, more cracks followed. Beside me, Vaeda was doing the same. I looked out the window at the sun sitting happily above a tall brick fence.
"Are we there yet, Sensei?" Vaeda asked.
"We'll be there within a matter of Five minutes." Touga replied.
It had been years since I had seen Kaien-San, good thing I hadn't changed much otherwise he might not remember me. Suddenly as we neared the entrance, the air tensed and a sheet of an identifiable emotion wrapped itself around us.
"Did it just get a little heavy?" I asked the older, dark haired man in front of me. He didn't reply he just nodded his head assuring me that in fact I was right.
The old tall steel gates opened with a shriek. As we slowly went along the driveway, we passed many large trees' that seemed to get bigger as we approached a large building. Vaeda had leaned over my lap and was staring out the window like a little kid in Candy land.
"What are we doing here, it's so nice?" Vaeda questioned as the car came to a stop.
"Cross, will fill you in while I go visit another one of my pupils."
We stepped out of the back of the gigantic SUV and onto the cobblestone; Vaeda and I followed Touga into the rustic, almost antique building. The halls were long, but wide and had small wooden benches every few yards; therefore, I concluded that this had to be the Academy's main building. We drew near to a bulky wooden door; I felt an even heavier presence come upon me, Kaname the Pureblood. The hefty door crept open and we walked in excluding Touga, who left the moment we got to the door. Inside was Kaien standing at his desk, Kaname to his left beside a silver haired boy with an anti-vampire tattoo on his neck. To Kaien's right was a shorthaired girl that looked oddly similar to Kaname. We gracefully bowed as we came into the center of the room.
"Ama-Chan is that you?" Kaien questioned looking at me; I nodded. He ran towards me, his arms wrapping around my shoulders.
"You've become soft, Kaien. It's a nice change though." I said as he released the hug.
"Chairman, Could we please get on with this." The silver haired male said trying to revert the conversation to its original implication.
"Hai, hai I was just catching up with an old friend. Okay so we are here to meet, because I've noticed that two people are slipping behind in studies. I figured I would let them have some study time and bring in two semi-permanent guardians. Ameratsu and Vaeda are highly trained and skilled professionals."
"Well actually, I'm currently being trained." Vaeda interrupted, and as she did, I yanked my hand back and slapped her face. It was my job to train her, and under training, she must learn to respect and never interrupt. The room fell dead silent as the sound of my power hit her flesh. I pulled my hand back to my side and turned back to Kaien.
The dark brown haired girl was about to say something but she stopped herself and looked at the floor.
"Umm… Ama-Chan you can't hit Vaeda-chan like that around here so could you resort to a discrete punishment."
"Yes Kaien-san."
"You and Vaeda start tonight, and Zero, Yuuki catch up on work. Kaname please elaborate."
"Your job is to protect from the students from any dangers, such as the night class, any strangers or anything. You work from sunset to dawn, any questions?"
"No." I said bowing.
"Here are your cute uniforms." Kaien said handing me two red and black uniforms, one for Vaeda and the other for me.
"Why are they different?" Vaeda asked.
"Well, because you don't go to classes you just guard. I wouldn't want the hall monitor's to yell at you two."
Slowly the copious room emptied aside from Kaien, Vaeda and I.
"I will show you to your dorms."

I looked into the mirror, and all I saw were my sapphire eyes staring back at me from behind a curtain of black hair with blonde hair. I backed up and looked at the uniform, which against my pale skin looked somewhat anomalous.
