Memo: Hey guys! Wow...this is my first fanfic, Twilight Sonata. I'm so nervous sharing it . Well, if you guys can comment or review, that would be great. I don't have much to say, so enjoy the story while it stays fresh :) I'm working on chapter 2 right now...I think new chapters should come out on a weekly basis. If not, you can nag me all you can.
Chapter one: "Silver Shadow"
A silver silhouette of the waning crescent moon slightly rippled on the onyx black water of the lake. The obsidian night silently engulfed the Cross Academy in darkness, the dully-twinkling stars and the white orb hanging in the sky providing the only source of light in the eerie night.
A shadow swiftly danced across the grounds. As the moonlit caught upon the man's face, sincere eyes were revealed under round spectacles and long blond hair billowing behind him. Under the heavy cloak he wore was a mass of delicate silver hair, the color equivalent to the night's bright moon. Her large emerald eyes that were filled with nothing else but fear roamed the area. Her body was shivering in the merciless cold, and she hung tightly onto the man. But the most questioning feature of them all was an elegant design of a moon and a star entangled in crossing lines at the base of her neck and a thin curve of a crescent moon etched onto her forehead.
The man, seeing nothing dangerous was approaching, continued to head toward the Academy. With no hesitation, he slipped past the entrance with almost inhuman speed and raced to the Moon Dormitories, knocking on the door.
Shortly after he drummed his hands across the wooden door, he was greeted by a beautiful blond teenager with piercing ice blue eyes. The questioning look on this face from before washed away and was replaced with familiarity. "Headmaster Cross!" he exclaimed, shifting his body to welcome the headmaster.
"Hello, my dear students…or shall I daresay, vampires?" Cross said as the blond teenager, whose name was Aidou Hanabasa (and was not even close to the age of a regular human teenager) lead him in a large room light by a bright chandelier. On the couch sat another six vampires, each and one of them with inhumanly stunning features and an elite atmosphere surrounding them. But nothing could compare to the vampire sitting at the head. His dark eyes had piercing stare that, if only there were such thing as eye power, could burn a hole into anything. His dark drown hair was naturally long, enough to touch the base of his neck, but perfectly styled and he appeared very well kept. A calm and cool look was etched onto his beautiful features, and he managed to look 100 percent casual as he caressed his hair in his pale hands and tipped it to the side.
"This must be urgent. You almost never cancel classes, Headmaster." He began in a cool ton with a little amusement. He reverted back to an expressionless face. "Who is that under your cloak?"
"Now, now, Kaname. You mustn't be impatient at a time like this." Cross replied. Wordlessly, Cross Kaien lifted up the hem of his cloak and revealed a small girl that looked no older than ten years old. She scanned the vampire quickly and then gasped, recognizing the familiar face of the pureblood standing before her. She tried to return to the depths of Cross's cloak, but was stopped by a firm hand.
"What? She's just a girl…" Aidou droned, scowling at the frightened child. "Why di-" the vampire stopped in his words when the Kaname gave him a cold, harsh warning look.
"What's her name?" Ruka asked curiously, a little jealousy probing her voice. She didn't like the fact that the little girl was getting so much attention despite how young she looked."
"Tsuki. Ichimaru Tsuki."
It was Kain Akatsuki's turn to look surprised. "Wait…Headmaster, did you just say that her name was Tsuki? Tsuki as in 'moon'?" he asked. Cross nodded, a complicated stare met Kain's gaze.
"What's so special about her name?" his blue-eyed cousin asked. Kain was frowning by now, his eyes focused intensely on Tsuki's unique symbol on her neck. Without warning, Tsuki rushed up to Kain with a murderous aura that was complete opposite from before. If it weren't for Kaname's lightning reflexes, Kain would've probably been shattered into pieces.
"Akatsuki, please explain this to everybody before it gets too loud," Kaname suggested. The whispering among the nobles already regarding Tsuki's behavior was irritating him. He gently pressed the girl's pressure point, catching the youngster in his arms before she hit the ground. Kaname's dark eyes looked up at Kain's, who avoided the stare. Instead, Kain looked at the Headmaster with shock registered all over his face.
"She's…" the blond spoke with a controlled voice. "Headmaster, how could this have happened? They were all supposed to be dead. Each and one of them, all murdered."
Ichijou was getting impatient. "Just tell us already!"
"Tsuki…she's" Kain swallowed hard.
"She's a Moon Synchronizer."
