Night Shall Fall
Night had fallen upon the bustling city. From above, the moon blessed the world below with its luminous glow that out-shown the nearby stars. Night owls continued to walk the still crowded streets, whether they were heading home or out shopping. Yet, unbeknownst to them, not all was calm in the their city.
In an alley, loud footsteps echoed ominously. A red-eyed man ran with all his might, his once crazed eyes now filled with terror. An eerie laugh haunted him as he fled but no matter how fast or how far he ran, the beast in human form could not escape his fate.
"Where are you going?"a voice asked innocently. The man stopped and turned his head wildly. A long shadow fell over him and in mere seconds he was sliced in half. The man's body turned to dust just before it hit the ground.
"My, my how boring." the young woman laughed. "He didn't put up much of a fight now did he? Too bad HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!"
Yuuki Cross stood at attention in front of the Headmaster's desk. She waited patiently as her foster father stared down at the two papers at his desk. The young girl wondered why her foster father had called only her into his office. Is it something to do with Kaname-kun? Is that why he only called me? Finally Headmaster Cross looked up.
"Yuuki I need you to do something for me." he said.
"What?"
"We will be having two new Day Class students tomorrow," the man explained. "and I would like for you to show them around. I would ask Zero-kun to do this but..."
Yuuki understood. Her partner, Zero Kiryu, tended to be very cold towards people. He was not the ideal person to welcome new students.
"Sure Headmaster," Yuuki smiled. "I would be happy to show them around."
Her foster father smiled kindly. "Good thank you, Yuuki. Their names are Miyamoto Hanako and Miyamoto Akane."
Yuuki nodded. "Hanako-san and Akane-san, right!"
Yuuki calmly waited outside Cross Academy. The sun had decided to show itself on this day as if it too wanted to welcome the new students.
I wonder what they'll be like. Yuuki mused. Hopefully they'll be more bearable than the current Day Class girls. The brunette frowned when she thought about the boy crazed girls of Day Class. Always squealing whenever they saw the Night Class and causing all sorts of problems for Yuuki and Zero. Yuuki crossed her fingers. Please let them be normal. she silently begged.
A jet black limousine rolled to a stop in front of her. Well they are apparently very rich people. Yuuki confirmed. A coachman got out of the limousine and opened one of the back doors. Out stepped a beautiful girl with long blood red hair. Her pale skin complemented her dark brown eyes and her tall figure was one any model would be jealous of. She wore a formal attire: a navy blue shirt with gold trim and a single gold button with a matching skirt that went a little pass her knees.
The ginger stepped aside to allow the second girl out. This girl an inch or two shorter than the first, but still very tall. She had the same pale complexion as her companion. Her hair was black and barely touched her shoulders. Her pale red-brown eyes and apathetic expression made her seem somewhat intimidating. She wore a dark green turtle neck and dark brown pants.
Realizing that she was staring, Yuuki hastily bowed and said: Hello! Welcome to Cross Academy."
The ginger laughed an enchanting laugh. "Hello and who do we have them pleasure of meeting?"
"I'm Cross Yuuki." the prefect replied. "You are our new students, right?"
The black haired girl nodded.
"I am Miyamoto Akane." the ginger said. Yuuki smiled and turned to the other girl.
"And you must be Miyamoto Hanako?" Yuuki asked the other girl. The dark haired girl simply nodded.
"Don't mind her, Hana-chan's very shy." Akane said.
"It's alright." Yuuki smiled brightly. A faint smile appeared on Hanako's face.
"Follow me," Yuuki said. "I be your guide, if you need anything come find me or my partner Zero-kun."
The two girls bowed to their coachman before following Yuuki into the building. On closer examination, Yuuki noticed that both girls wore earrings. Akane's were small studded skulls while Hanako's dangle earrings were shaped like scythes. That's...interesting Yuuki thought.
Hanako collapsed onto the bed and sighed. A new school and new place. Just Perfect.
"That Yuuki-chan seemed very nice wouldn't you agree?" Akane smirked.
Hanako groaned and turned away from her partner.
"My, my wasn't that Kiryu boy cute? So cold, so distant it makes him even more handsome, hahahahha!" Akane laughed.
The raven haired girl rolled her eyes at her companion's insanity. I'm not going to bother answering. she decided. I might catch her craziness.
"By the way, we have another job." the ginger mused. Hanako sighed again.
"Try not to swing me around like a maniac this time."
"I will make...no such promises. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Shiki Senri glazed at the crowd of Day Class girls. Everyday it was the same thing. Hanabusa cheerily greeted the girls which only increased their excitement. Yuuki struggled to keep the crowd a safe distance away from the Night Class students. It was amazing how much strength the tiny girl had in her. Her partner on the other hand seemed to have no trouble; the girls were too afraid to try his patience.
Shiki sighed. This is tiring I want to go back to sleep. he thought. He yawned.
"Still tired Shiki?" Takuma asked politely.
Shiki grunted. Aido, who walked beside them, sniffed the air.
"Someone smells really good." he mused.
"Now, now Aido." Takuma warned. "You have to behave yourself remember?"
"I'm not gonna do anything!" the blond pouted.
Aido wasn't the only one who smelled it. Shiki breathed in the delicious aroma coming from somewhere in the crowd of squealing girls. A warm, sweet scent. I bet it tastes just as good as it smells. Shiki thought.
"Oh! New students." Aido exclaimed.
Sure enough, two Day Class girls stood together on the outskirts of the rowdy crowd. The tantalizing aroma was coming from one of them.
"They're really cute!" Aido grinned.
"Aido." Kaname said calmly. "Remember to behave."
The blond bowed his head, ashamed. "Yes, of course."
Shiki glanced again at the two girls once more before turning away to follow his fellow vampires to class.
A beautiful woman ran with all her might to the abandoned warehouse. Her golden hair was wild and tangled, her red eyes wide and fearful. The warehouse where she had sot refuge in was rumbling. The ceiling was partially caved in and many holes were scattered across the creaking floor. The vampire turned around in a circle, carefully looking around. No one else seemed to be there besides her. She relaxed.
"Did you really think that you could run from us?" a female's voice asked.
The vampire jumped whipped her head around. The sound of a gun echoed throughout the warehouse. The vampire shrieked when an agonizing pain shot through her back. In moments her body turned to dust.
From the shadow a woman chuckled.
"Another vampire bites the dust." she grinned. She looked down at her silver rifle.
"Of course, that one was no match for us, right Flower-chan?"
As if in answer, the rifle began to glow with a haunting red aura. The woman smiled.
"Alright, alright. We'll go back now, I know you're tired."
