Well, I'm having a bit of trouble with my Sebastian story. It's not stopped, I promise. I'm just having some 'flow issues'. So, while that is at a stand-still, and while I'm getting some help from Paxloria, I'll be working on this…

Oh yes, I hardly put Japanese suffixes in stories but Vampire Knight dialogue just isn't right without it...so, I'll try t o type everything out right. BUt please do not criticize me if I get any of them wrong. Just tell me what needs fixed and I'll be sure to fix it ASAP.

Hope you like it. It's an Aidou x OC story…so…here is Chapter One. Please tell me how you like it?

Bit of info for you all:

OC's Name: Kairi Hideko

Her age: 16

Country: Japan, but did not grow up in same area as other VK characters

Break in scenes is indicated by a pound symbol (or hashtag symbol or '#')

"Hello, my name is Kairi Hideko…or, well I used to go by that name. Now…well, it's a long story. A lot has happened since back then. It's quite the story, I promise you. Well, it happened back when I entered my first year of high school. My parents wished for me to attend a more well-established school, or a private school, in other words. And, in time, they found one: Cross Academy. It was decent and many seemed to be nice when I walked around, getting a feel of the place before they settled on this certain place. It seemed like a normal private school, in my opinion. But it was not…it was different. And it was different in ways I never thought possible. Let us begin with that day, the first day I arrived…I believe that is where we should begin…"

"It was a clear blue sky that day, I remember it well. The new school year had just started, so I was transferring-lucky me. Most were friendly to my new arrival and I was lead around by one of the school's prefects…Yuuki Cross, the headmaster's daughter."

#

"Kairi…Hideko…? We have a new student transferring? That doesn't happen often, usually…" Spoke a female voice, a male voice, sound ing to be older than the female's, replying, "Yes, her parents were particular on attending this school…and how could I say no? Another student, another step closer to my dream!"

What a flamboyant male…

Kairi zoned out on the rest of their chatter, not bothering to listen in on someone's private conversation. Minutes passed, the girl hearing silence now. Where the two finished speaking?

"Ah-ha!"

"!" Kairi's hair stood on end, looking at the sudden voice that seemed to appear out of nowhere. There stood a female donning a black uniform, which apparently was called a "Day Class Uniform". Why this school had a day and a night class was a mystery to Kairi, but she accepted it. It certainly made the high school unique. Along with the uniform, the female had brunette hair that was styled in a messy bob-fashion that stopped at about shoulder-length. She had brown eyes that also possessed some red hues in their depths, too.

This was the headmaster's daughter? She looks nothing like the guy…at all. Maybe it was a case of where she got more of her mother's features and really nothing from her father? Whatever the case…she looked good. This look suited her perfectly.

But Kairi was not enjoying her hyperness. Hopefully she wasn't like this all the time. She'd wear the poor transfer student out in no time.

"Did you really have to appear out of nowhere? Are you a witch or something? Cause if you are, please tell me now." The prefect gave a gentle laugh, answering Kairi with a smile, "No, I assure you I'm not a witch…or at least not that I know of. So, you're Kairi, right? I'm Yuuki, Yuuki Cross, prefect extraordinaire of Cross Academy!"

Kairi was beginning to see what Yuuki had gotten from the headmaster, as the male was just like this. Yuuki offered a friendly handshake, a nice greeting, which Kairi preferred over the loudness. Oh well, at least she never got boring, "Yep, Kairi is my name and moving around is my game."

Yuuki's smile began to slightly fade. Kairi's hand grasped Yuuki's Kairi feeling a small jolt, which she hid well. She was used to the feeling, after all.

She moved around that often? The look on Kairi's face indicated it was not something she was happy with, and who could blame her? Yuuki decided to press the topic, "Why do you move so much? Is your father the moving type, you know, with business and what not?"

Kairi should her head, "No, it's because of me, actually. It used to bother me but anymore…well, I don't get attached to places. I know that sound anti-social but getting attached just makes it that much harder when it come s time to leave…"

"Because of you? What do you mean? I doubt it's your fault, Kairi-san." Yuuki noticed a smile come to Kairi's face, signaling the girl merely gave the prefect a look that said 'You'll find out soon enough'. Yuuki suddenly felt sorry for the girl. She was young, Yuuki's age, in fact, and yet it seems she's made peace of such a thing.

Quickly, Yuuki took in the transfer student's features. Her hair was the same brunette shade as Yuuki's, but much longer. She currently had it pulled up into a high ponytail, the ends of the pulled-up locks stopping at about her shoulders. She had really long hair it would seem. And the girl couldn't help but notice the girl's eyes. They were such a bright blue shade. It suited her perfectly, the color complimenting her light skin color. She had a slender build but not as petite as Yuuki's, meaning Kairi seemed to be a little curvier.

She was beautiful. And yet, she looked very close to Yuuki, in terms of appearance. If it wasn't for the girl's blue eyes, the two females could be twins.

"Well, how about that tour, Yuuki-chan?"

Yuuki looked at Kairi, stunned. She never mentioned the tour she was planning for Kairi. It would be the perfect way to get her acquainted with people…plus made she could help her with keeping the day class away from the night class, though she wasn't really supposed to do such a thing, "How did you know about that? I never said anything about it...did I?"

Kairi gladly explained, wanting to see Yuuki's reaction, "When I shook your hand, I 'saw' you were planning the tour. I don't mean to snoop inside someone's mind but…it's not something I can really control."

Yuuki was shocked. She'd never met someone with such gifts. She'd heard of people but she believed them to be frauds. Kairi was no such thing. Yuuki sported a smile, "It's okay. I won't judge you, like I'm sure others would. Well, come on. Hopefully I can finish touring before the classes switch over. I'm sure you don't want to be involved in that."

#

Kairi was amazed at the size of Cross Academy. It was quite large, yet the buildings took up so little space. Everything was forest area, honestly.

"It's amazing your father started this place, Yuuki. He must be really proud. It has definitely became a high-ranked private school." Yuuki gave a giggle, "Yeah, he's proud all right. But he did have some help, so, whether he likes it or not, he can't take all that credit."

Kairi just gave a smile, "There's always some help behind the scenes, so that doesn't surprise me…"

Kairi absentmindedly glanced at her watch, blinking for a second or so before speaking, "…didn't you say you needed to be back at those gates no later than 5:50?"

Yuuki gave a nod, Kairi continuing, "Well…it's one minute til six…"

Kairi saw a wave of panic come over the girl, "WAAAHHH! I have to go! I always complain that Zero's late, yet now I am! Sorry, Kairi-san, but can you make your way back? I would help but I can't I gotta be somewhere, so I can't be here, too."

Kairi gave a 'shoo shoo' motion to the worried prefect, Yuuki dashing off. Something fell off Yuuki's person, Kairi picking it up. It was a rod of some sort. Perhaps it was a weapon to ward off creepers and the like? With a shrug, Kairi placed it in her backpack, which held a few notebooks and pencils, figuring she should give it back while she thought about it "She'll probably want it back…maybe I can find her without too much trouble?"

#

Yuuki couldn't believe it. The first time she's late and Zero's on time. It would figure it'd be that way. Now she'd never hear the end of it.

"Get back! Go back to the Sun Dorms, as Day Classes are over! Hey, you, get back in line!" Yuuki was getting nowhere, like usual. And in no time, Zero spoke, "I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER 'KYAA!' FROM ANOTHER MOUTH…DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?!" Silence followed, everyone about half their size now.

Zero could be rather scary, when needed.

And the gates opened, a steady stream of 'Ahhhh' coming from the day class girls, and from the male's as well. And there was a good reason as out walked the Night Class students.

"Good morning, ladies~! Did everyone enjoy their day? I hope so, as I would hate to see a frown on any of your lovely faces~!" Yuuki knew this voice, as she knew all the Night Class' identities. But a new face among the crowd of watching eyes did not know any of these beautiful people.

Kairi was stunned. They were good-looking-all of them were very good-looking, actually. The one that spoke, greeting all the happy girls definitely seemed to be egotistical. Something about each of these "Night Class" members drew her in. They were different. But how?

"Oh my~! A new face!"

Kairi pleaded that he did not see her, but she, in no time, noticed the one she just called egotistical before her, holding her hand, gazing into her eyes, "You have such wonderful icy blue eyes. A true natural beauty-that is what I am looking at here before me. Now, may I ask what your blood type is, my dear girl?"

Kairi was beyond confused. Who asks for that as a flirtation method? Boy, he was weird. She decided to answer him, "Most people ask for a first name before asking for such personal information, I do believe. You ask me for my blood type, yet you do not know my name, nor do I know yours, Fine Sir."

Everyone looked at Kairi for her response, the girl immediately feeling very out of place. Apparently that was not how one was to answer to such a question at this place? The blonde male, who still had a hold of Kairi's hand, even seemed to still be in shock.

But then the silence was broken, a new voice coming into play, "Aidou, please step away from the girl. You know the rules and you are to follow them."

Kariri looked at the new voice, finding herself looking at a male who definitely did not fit into the high school setting. He had to be nearly twenty-one years old! This person wore a white uniform, meaning he was part of the Night Class, as was everyone who walked from those gates. He sported a head of messy brown hair that was a little long, but still short in Kairi's opinion. And his eyes were nearly the same shade as Yuuki's.

"Yes, forgive me, Lord Kaname. I was out of line." Aidou, as the blonde was named, immediately backed away, going back to where the rest of the Night Class members stood. But before doing so, he took one more look at Kairi, his eyes seeming to be searching for something. But he stopped after only a second or two, walking on.

Kairi felt bad for the blonde male, due to him gaining an immediate look of regret when the brunette male spoke. He'd been called 'Kaname-Sama', but why the 'Lord' bit? Obviously he was leader over the Night Class. It was weird. But she still felt she should say something.

Before she could, the one named Kaname spoke to her, "You are the transfer student, correct? I believe you are transferring to the Day Class. I am sure you will like it here, Miss…uh, I don't believe I ever did hear your name. May I ask what it is?"

Kairi blinked in confusion. That was two people from this renowned Night Class that asked for her name. It was a little shocking. And she thought she'd blend into the background perfectly-that went out the window, as all the girl's now glared at the female, who spoke with a quivering voice, "Kairi…Kairi Hideko. Please to make your acquaintance…though I wish I didn't have a sea of glares on my back because of it…"

Kaname looked at the girl when she spoke her name, though with Kairi paying more attention to the sea of potential killers behind her, who could blame her for not catching his stare. Either way, the stare only lasted for mere seconds. He gave a smile, "You are a new student, a transfer, nonetheless. Your experience here will either tell people to come here or to search elsewhere. I do promote Cross Academy, so I hope everyone here to treat you with respect and kindness."

Kairi nodded, "Me too. It'd be nice to be at a school for longer than a year. Umm…I don't want to keep you and your group. Have a nice night to you all."

Kaname gave a final smile, his gaze falling on Yuuki, who looked down, a blush covering her cheeks in an instant. Kairi had the feeling Yuuki had feelings towards Kaname, so all she could do was smile at the girl.

As the group moved on, the Day Class students left, Zero and Yuuki being left behind. Kairi spoke, "So those are the Night Class students I heard so much about? They seem…nice. And different, don't' know how but they just are. Anyhow, you dropped this when you dashed off."

Yuuki was handed the metal rod that she'd dropped earlier, Zero giving her a glance of disapproval, Yuuki just brushing him off, "Thank you, Kairi. This is rather important to my job. Well, you should be getting to your room. I'm sure you're tired, right?"

Kairi nodded, "More than you know. Well, I'm out for the night. See you tomorrow."

Yuuki waved her new friend off, Zero giving Yuuki that same glance as before, "You know she can't find out. If you keep being careless, she will. And how does she 'feel they are different'? What did she mean, Yuuki?"

Yuuki shrugged, the girl being honest, "I don't know, really. She told me she's different from others. She's even unsure about it, so I don't think it's something that needs to be worried about tonight. Just focus on the patrol, okay? And don't skip out this time! I can't do this job on my own, you know."

Zero got a bitter look, "If they weren't here, there would be no need for these absurd patrols that drag on all night. Yet, this place treats them as if they're normal human beings, when they are very far from that. Aidou got too close to that close to that girl, and I'm sure it should never happen again. And you know why."

Yuuki gave a look of sadness, "Yes, I know. How could I forget? They are indeed different from us, for the Night Class possesses no human beings among them. They are creatures of darkness and legend, the ones who feed off human blood to survive…vampires. And it is our job to protect the Day Class. I know, Zero…"

"Then make sure to remember that they do not get involved with the Day Class. It would only cause problems…ones we do not need to deal with, ever." Zero walked off, leaving Yuuki to her thoughts. He did this often, so Yuuki was, nearly, used to it by now.

Yuuki looked at the darkening sky, her getting lost in her thoughts. Vampires going to the same school as humans. Zero says that vampires and humans can never exist in peace…yet this is making a definite step towards that goal, that dream I have. And more have that dream, so…maybe one day…perhaps one day, it'll happen. And it'll no longer be a dream, but a reality? I can only dream of such a thing, for now…

#

Kairi did not go back to her dorm room, despite what Yuuki had told her of the curfew hours. She stood outside the classroom, seeing the shadow of someone standing near the window.

It was one of the Night Class members, she knew that. They were so mysterious…and she knew they felt different. But how and why? Maybe that would get answered later on…

She glanced back, seeing a familiar pair of red and brown eyes looking back at her. She moved on, walking away from their gaze after only looking into their depths for mere moments. She knew that was the one named Kaname. Why did he look at her in such a way? He seemed strict about following the rules of this place, so, maybe that was it. She was, after all, breaking one already-the curfew rule for the Day Class members.

#

Kaname watched the girl until she was out of sight. He could tell she had a free spirit, though she was no doubt usually the quiet type. She would speak her opinion when needed and not feel the need to hold back. It was very admirable to be such a person, actually.

The male looked at his classmate, and friend, "Aidiou, why did you react in such a way to Miss Hideko?"

Another spoke up, this one being a female donning very pale hair, "Yeah, usually you get all defensive at such topics, especially when a certain prefect tells you such things."

Aidiou retorted at her words, "Ruka! Don't compare such people to trash like that prefect. Zero Kiryu is nothing but an obstacle I'd love to plow the field with." Aidou paused, his face turning all emotional and even somewhat depressive, "But to think that one such as her gave such a backlashing statement…it nearly made me cry due to heart break~! *sniffle sniffle*"

An instant later, he cheered back up, "But she did give her name to Kaname-sama, so I can't be upset with that. It would seem this one does not fall for charming words…I shall have to find a different approach and then-"

Kaname definitely did not approve of Aidou's words, "I would not, Aidou. If you know what is good for you, all of you would make sure to not get any thoughts that would cause Kairi Hideko to end up in any harm or unfortunate situation."

Everyone in the Night Class gained instant shock on their faces. The male had never been so protective over anyone in such a manner, except Yuuki Cross, which everyone knew he favored, though it was uncertain why that was.

Another male spoke up, this one being named Akatsuki Kain, "Kaname-sama, you seem to favor this girl in nearly the same manner as the headmaster's daughter. Why is it that you choose to favor a human you've only met once, the meeting lasting only mere seconds?"

Everyone wanted to know, this was true, but no one dared to ask in such a blunt manner, but, either way, Kaname answered his classmate, "She…reminds me of someone I knew long ago. This is all you need know."

#

Kairi gave a sigh, her now sitting on her bed of the room she'd be staying during her time here. She had no roommate, when in fact she wasn't even in the dorm building for the Day Class students. There was, apparently, no beds open, so they gave her something like a guest room.

It was small, only a bed, a small wooden vanity with a chair, and a small dresser for her clothes being in the room. That was it. And there was, really, no one around her. She liked the silence and such but, in all honesty, she missed having someone to speak to.

#

It was late, the time drawing close to three in the morning. Kairi had managed to sleep for a bit of time, but, as always, woke up after a few hours of rest.

She laid down, staring at the ceiling, her mind wandering on her.

It felt different here. She didn't feel, well, isolated from everyone, likee when at other schools in the past. Usually, people kept to themselves and so did she. That was why she was always so irritated with people-she didn't know how to handle them.

You can say she wasn't a 'people person', but that didn't bother her. She didn't hate being near others, she actually quite enjoyed their company. She was just different and it usually didn't take long for at least one person to figure that out. And when one knows, it spreads like wild fire. And before she knew it, they were moving again.

With her eyes shut, Kairi began to talk out loud, not caring if she was only speaking to herself, "But it is different here. Those people…they are different. I don't know how, but they are. There's just something about them. I guess some would say the 'aura' about them was different in some way. I would enjoy talking to them more, though some do not seem to be the friendliest. That one, though…Ai-something…Aidou, I think it was. Yeah, that was it…he's definitely not an anti-social. Oh well…I will admit, though…he is good looking. In fact, they all are."

In an instant, an image flashed in her mind, an image of a cold night, the girl's eyes snapping shut in fright, "Get out of my head already! Ugh, this is why I hate it when I dream. All they ever are anymore are nothing but nightmares and horrible daydream images!"

One more flashed in her mind, her eyes opening in surprise. It was the picture that just flashed in her mind moments ago. But there was more detail to it this time. A snowy field and a black dog of some sort lay in the snow. The creature looked hurt. It was injured and Kairi felt sorry for the poor thing. But why did she see such a scene?

Kairi then felt a rush of wind brush against her, causing her to look at the window. She never opened it, as she hated it when drafts blew against her when she slept. Upon looking, she noticed it was still shut. She felt fear enter her mind and body.

The window was shut…so…where did that wind come from, then?

At the thought, she bolted from her room, not knowing where she was running. She was just running.

She currently stayed in the Headmaster's residence until something else was available. Kairi ran down the hall, her footsteps clearly being heard by any who were near, of which the Headmaster was in the building at the time.

"Kairi? Kairi, what's-!? Oof!" Kairi was so distraught that she didn't even see the male calling out to her, concerned because he clearly noticed she was upset. She rushed right past him, nearly knocking the poor male to the ground.

She ran out the entrance to the building, trying to run away from this fear that only seemed to build. She ended up being grabbed by someone, fingers wrapping around her arm, "Let go of me!" She was rather distraught, though she wasn't sure why. What was she running from? It was just wind...well, wind that came from nowhere.

A voice spoke, "Why are you out here? Go back to your room. Despite being a new student, surely you follow rules." Kairi knew who this was. It was the one called Zero Kiryu, but she didn't care. Unlike the rest of the Day Class, she didn't find him all too scary, "I'm not going back there! If I do, they won't let me sleep! They never let me sleep for long!"

Zero's eyes went wide. Kairi realized what she said, causing her to begin to panic within her mind. She couldn't start this on her first day here! So, she tried to cover up her words with a lie, "Ugh…I had a nightmare. I get them often, unfortunately. Sometimes they affect when I wake up-kind of like, even though my body woke up, my mind didn't. Now, let go of me…I'll go back to my room, like a good little follower."

Another voice came into play, "I thought I heard your voice…what are you doing out here, Kairi? It's dangerous out here. We're surrounded by woods, and sometimes it can get a little spooky out here. Anything can be lurking out there, you know."

Zero spoke, "Yuuki…Kairi seemed frightened and said-"

He was cut off, Kairi snapping back her reply, "I said I'm fine! Just…stay out of my business, all right?! I just needed some fresh air…so, unhand me!" She slapped Zero's hand away, Zero growing instantly suspicious. Yuuki was surprised. Kairi didn't act like this earlier. She sensed that something happened and she hoped it wasn't any of the Night Class trying to do anything sly. Kaname would be upset, if so.

"Kairi, please, go back to your room. I promise you are safe, but if something does happen, please inform either me or Zero…you can also tell the Headmaster or even Kaname, if he's nearby." Kairi appreciated Yuuki's kindness, giving a nod, "Thanks…I'll be on my way now. I can find my own way back."

That probably was rude but she didn't want anyone questioning her about anything. So, she moved on. She made her way, slowly, back to where she slept. She looked up at the moon that shown above. It bathed the girl in its pale light, making her pale skin nearly glow.

"You truly are beautiful. I was not lying before, you know." Kairi jumped at the sudden voice, her looking at its owner.

She spotted the one from earlier walk out of the shadows, stepping into the moonlight that shown around Kairi. Aidou looked at her, amazed at how this lighting really brought out her beauty even further. She appeared to resemble a goddess, in his opinion, "Kairi…"

"Huh?" Kairi knew she heard her name, which just the single word being spoken by the blonde-haired male took her by surprise.

"Your name…it is Kairi, right?" She nodded, her speaking next, "And you're called 'Aidou', if memory serves me right. I feel I should apologize for being rude earlier. I'm not used to such gestures and words as what you gave back then."

The male found that hard to believe, given the girl looked just as beautiful as the Night Class members, "You sure are the modest type, now aren't you, Kairi-chan? It would seem my charm didn't work on attracting you, so perhaps I should find other means as getting your attention?"

Kairi twitched in irritation, "Yep…egotistical. I was right about you. But, alas, I must cut this talk short. Yuuki and Zero wish me to be in my room, saying I'm safest there. I see no reason to fear being out here. I enjoy nighttime much more than daytime, anyways. But rules are rules. Good night, Aidou."

She attempted to walk past the male, only to have him grab a gentle hold of her right hand. She looked at him, her eyes wide with surprise, "Aidou?"

He gave the girl a smirk, the male feeling something building inside, a hunger he was all too used to by now, but he ignored it for the time being, "I merely wished to give you a proper 'good night', Miss Hideko. Is that wrong of me?"

She shook her head. Boy, he was definitely the charmer. She gave a nod, telling him she did not care. He proceeded, placing a simple kiss on the top of her hand. That action did elicit a blush from the female, which he saw, "Oh? I see what gets your true side to come out, Kairi-san. However, I am afraid it will be hard to keep such affection private...but I don't mind a challenge. *wink*"

Kairi gave a sweat drop…he was weird. But there was something about him. Whatever it was, she enjoyed his bright presence, "You certainly are a confident one but I'm not so easy to have 'fangirl' over you because you flash a debonair smile. I am not so easily…persuaded. Now, good night, 'Prince Charming'."

Aidou watched Kairi walk away, feeling something different about this particular female. She wasn't like the other females that made up the Day Class. But he still felt upset, "She won't fall for me! How can I get her to fawn over me? There must be a way…"

"Hanabusa, Dorm President Kuran wishes to speak with you. What are you doing wondering around anyway?" Aidou looked at his cousin, giving a whining pout, "What else is there to do out here, Akatsuki? Those lessons are so boring and then they expect you to just go back to the dorms until it's time to sleep. I wanted to stretch my legs…breathe some fresh air…"

Akatsuki added in his own thoughts, "Stalk that new girl…"

Aidou looked petrified instantly, "Please don't tell Kaname-Sama! I only wanted to speak to her! And, look, I didn't even try to bite her in any shape or form. They want us to live 'peacefully' among the humans, yet we are not allowed to speak to them. It makes no sense…"

Akatsuki did see his cousin's reasoning, after all the point of the two classes was to prove that vampires and humans could co-exist. Well, the humans didn't know they were there vampires, so he wasn't sure this was going to prove anything. But, either way, Kaname gave the blonde egotist an order and it should be followed. But he also knew there was no talking to his cousin about it, as the male hated listening to people, "This is Kaname-Sama's wish, so at least attempt to follow what you're told to do, okay?"

Aidou already tuned him out, "Yeah, yeah…she is different, though. She's not like the other Day Class girls and that makes her interesting."

"I merely want to know why Kaname-Sama seems protective of her. She hasn't even been here for twenty-four hours and yet he speaks of her in nearly the same manner as the Headmaster's daughter. It's odd…" Aidou agreed with Akatsuki, "Yeah, but it could be because she's just new. I'm sure he'll go back to normal within a few days. Give her time to get used to this place…you'll see."

Akatsuki wasn't convinced, "Yeah…maybe. Or maybe things are just beginning. *sigh* It doesn't matter. You should get going. I doubt you want to keep the Dorm President waiting…"

Well, here ya go. This was my first attempt at a Vampire Knight story. How was it? Did anyone like it…? Aidou is my fave character…and I liked Kaname, until towards the end of the manga's end. I didn't like the ending…

Oh well…can I get feedback? Please?
