A/N : hi everyone! This is my first fanfic ever so I hope you would forgive me for my errors. The characters here as well as the story plot may be somewhat far from the real storyline. Again I hope you wouldn't mind. All reviews or criticisms are highly appreciated!
Vampire Knight does not belong to me. It belongs to Matsuri Hino. :)
CHAPTER 1: MEMORIES
"go!take her away from here!"
"i..i don't want to leave you mother.."
"come on!if you don't run..you'll get killed!"
"I'm sorry that I have to leave you..but this is the safest place for you.."
"red eyes..fangs..blood.."
"Huh.?a dream..again.." Kiyomi said weakly as she tried to stand up. "Ouch.." she muttered. Her back ached because of sleeping in a sitting position for days. She looked at herself and saw bruises all over her body. Her tattered clothes are not of a pleasant sight either.
KNOCKING
The door opened and Kiyomi saw Yuki, the girl who had been trying to help her ever since that night. That was the night that her mother was killed. Her sister brought her to the Cross Academy and leaving her there. Ever since then she hated her sister. Why did she leave her? She was the only family left to Kiyomi after the death of their parents and the disappearance of her older brother.
"Kiyomi-chan..you barely ate for almost two weeks.." Yuki said sympathetically to the red-headed girl. "I don't want to eat." Kiyomi replied. She hated how fate went for her.
"I'll just leave this food here. In case you might change your mind." Yuki then laid the food near Kiyomi. Kiyomi just stared at Yuki.
"Don't you want to change your clothes? They're dirty." Yuki asked again. Kiyomi just hugged her knees. "Go away. Leave me like my family did."
Yuki knew she was defeated. She exited the room and went to the headmaster's room.
--
"Well Yuki what happened?" the headmaster asked, worry is painted on his face. Yuki shooked her head."
"She's getting me really worried. I wonder what we can do." the headmaster said. "I've done my best but still she wouldn't budge. Zero do you know anything we can do?" Yuki asked looking at Zero.
"We can do nothing. If that is what she wants to do then we can't stop her." Zero said with an expressionless face.
"I'll talk to her later. Both of you should be getting ready for your classes."
--
after 3 days..
One night Zero was walking to his room. As he passed Kiyomi's room he heard a sobbing voice. He opened the door slightly and peeked in. His eyes widened when he saw Kiyomi holding a piece of a shattered plate. He knew in an instant that Kiyomi was trying to take her life.
"Stop!" Zero said as he grabbed Kiyomi's hands. "Damn it! This girl had been giving us problems" Zero thought to himself. He was about to yell at the poor girl for being a burden but when his eyes met Kiyomi's eyes he suddenly softened. She was like what he was when he was younger.
"L-let go of me.." Kiyomi said in a pleading voice. "My life is meaningless anyway.."
Zero let go of Kiyomi's hands and he sat beside her. "Fine do what you want. But keep in mind that no one will be happy with you dead." Zero said in a low tone. "How would you know?" Kiyomi asked in an angry voice. "You never went what I went through! You wouldn't understand!"
Zero became angered by those words. But he didn't show it. His sympathy for the girl took over him. "It's not good to fight fire with fire." He thought to himself.
"I may not understand how you feel. But I know what would I feel if I lose someone important to me." Zero said softly. "If I were your mother I won't be happy seeing you like that."
Kiyomi's eyes were widened. Zero took it as a sign that she regained her composure. He stood up and walked away.

The next day…
Headmaster Cross, Yuki and Zero were eating their breakfast when someone knocked at their door.
"I'll get it." Yuki volunteered. She walked towards the door and opened it. She was surprised at what she saw. She saw Kiyomi in a day class uniform. Kiyomi looked very pretty and neat. Her hair was in place and some of her bruises had faded.
"Kiyomi!" Yuki exclaimed. Kiyomi just lowered her head in shame. She really caused a lot of troubles.
The headmaster heard what Yuki said and ran hurriedly towards the newcomer. His eyes twinkle in surprise to see Kiyomi in good condition. "Kiyomi-chan! Good Morning!" he exclaimed.
The headmaster dragged Kiyomi into the room. "Here Kiyomi. Join us." Yuki said cheerfully as she pulled a chair next to Zero. Kiyomi walked shyfully to the chair. After a while she found herself eating.
"I'm really surprised to see you like that! I can make you my another adopted child!" Kaien Cross said raising a fork with his left hand and his right hand on his chest. Yuki waved her hand and jokingly said "If you do that chairman Kiyomi here would lock up herself again". Kiyomi giggled a little.
"Oh look at the time we should get moving!" Yuki said. "Come on Kiyomi let's go!"
Yuki dragged Kiyomi out of the room. Zero was about to leave too but is stopped by the headmaster's words.
"Thank you Kiryuu-kun."
Zero realized that the headmaster heard his conversation with Kiyomi. He then left the room.
--
"This is our classroom." Yuki said pointing to a big room. Kiyomi was amazed. "Our teacher is here. I"ll tell him you're a new student!" Yuki ran to their teacher.
Some of the students looked intently at Kiyomi while some didn't care at all. Kiyomi turned her back only to see giggling girls muttering the words NIGHT CLASS.
"Kiyomi Mizuki I presume?" their teacher asked her. "Yes sir." She replied. The teacher took her hand and dragged her in front of the room.
"Good Morning Class!"
"Good Morning Sir Otohara."
"I'm here to present you a new student. Meet Kiyomi Mizuki."
"Mizuki-san say something."
"Uhmm..I'm excited to work with you. Pleased to meet you all."
"Very well. Mizuki-san you can sit next to...hmmm.."
"Ah! sit beside Kiryuu-kun there at the back."
Kiyomi shifted her attention to Zero. Apparently she's thinking he would not be in the same class she's in. She's not ready to sit next him. She's guilty for yelling at him.
But she had no choice. She walked towards the silver-haired boy and sat beside him.
The class started.
--
During class Kiyomi is really feeling uneasy towards her new seatmate. She's been trying to avoid him. Zero on the other hand wanted to talk to her. Not because of anything special. He's just curious about the girl's life.
"Okay class. Take out your pen and notebook and write these things down."
Kiyomi looked at her desk. She had a notebook but she forgot her pen. "Bad luck." She thought to herself. Zero noticed the girl's frowned and looked at his pocket.
"Here. Borrow my pen."
"Ah..thanks.."
After a while the class ended. Yuki then introduced Kiyomi to some of her friends.
--
"Well, bye Yuki. Pleased to meet you Kiyomi" Yori said as she picked up her things. "Bye." Yuki replied.
"Okay! It's time to work now Zero." Yuki said stretching. "Eh? Zero? Hmm.. skipping duties again." Yuki said her fists closed.
"What work Yuki? I can help." Kiyomi said not knowing that the job is to deal with crazy fangirls!
"Really? Thanks Kiyomi." Yuki then hugged Kiyomi.
Yuki was ready to go when Kiyomi pulled her and said "I'm sorry Yuki. For all the trouble I caused."
"Don't worry! It's in the past." Yuki smiled. Kiyomi smiled also.
--
"Kyaa!! Night Class!"
"Aido sempai!"
"Kaname-sama.!"
"Wild-sempai!"
Yuki and Kiyomi was pushing the fangirls. "Everyone please settle down." Yuki shouted. "Geez Yuki..this is a hard job." Kiyomi said. "Ahh..!" Kiyomi fell down due to the strong force of the invincible fangirls. "Kiyomi!" Yuki explained still trying hard to keep the fangirls at bay.
The cheering of the fangirls grew strong when the night class makes their way pass them.
"Ouch. It hurts." Kiyomi said rubbing her haid.
Aido walked pass the fangirls shooting them one by one. "Bang!" he said as the girls he shot falls down.
Aido was about to walk over Kiyomi. "Eh?" he raised his eyebrow. His blue eyes met Kiyomi's green ones. "She's pretty cute." Aido whispered to himself.
Yuki cannot hold the fangirls any longer.
"Did you get hurt miss?" Aido said offering his hand so Kiyomi can stand up. Kiyomi took his hand and stood up. The fangirls were enraged. They suddenly stopped moving.
"Whew!" Yuki said wiping her forehead. Kaname walked to her caressing her face. "Are you okay? Yuki?" Kaname asked. A blush crept Yuki's face as the faces of the fangirls grew red with anger.
"Ah! I'm fine Kaname-sempai!" Yuki said brushing his hand off her. "I think all of you should return to your dorms and get some beauty sleep." Kaname said smiling. The fangirls walked away to their dorms.
Kaname smiled at Yuki.
The night class walked away too. Aido winked at Kiyomi saying "Bye-bye!". Kiyomi looked puzzled.
And thus a tiring day ended.
A/N : Whew it's finished. I hope it's not that bad. And if ever..please do take time to review. I will really appreciate it. :)
