CHAPTER 1- RETURN

A limousine pulled over in front of the famous Cross Academy, out came a young lady in a white school uniform. Cross Kaien and Kiryuu Zero stood at the front gate while waiting for the new student of the famous night class of the academy.

"Welcome to the Cross Academy Hyuuga-san."

The girl smiled revealing her perfect white teeth. "Iye. Thank you for meeting me here. And please, call me Aya."

"Hai. This is Zero, our prefect. He used to have a partner, Yuuki... "

Her blue eyes showed no emotion.

"Ah. Kuran Yuuki. Yes, I've heard of her. The wielder of the famous vampire hunter weapon, Artemis and, the fiancee of Kuran Kaname, the last descendant of the elite Kuran vampire clan."

Zero glared at her and started to say something when the chairman held up his hand. "Yes Aya, that is Yuuki. Now, do you want to go inside now and meet your new classmates?"

"I'd love to." She looked at the tall building and at the two men in front of her.

Kiryuu Zero, the prefect, the cool and aloof one. No one was able to break into his shell except Kuran Yuuki, it is said that he loved the young heiress so much but it was impossible. She's a vampire princess, he's from one of the most elite vampire hunter clans.

Cross Kaien, the chairman, the father, and the legendary vampire hunter, and now he built a school where humans and vampires mingle with each other.

"Interesting." She said softly.

"Now if you round up this number right here..."

No one seems interested. Everyone looks around sleepily, some are drinking the so-called artificial blood.

But not Kaname., he's sitting between Yuuki, his beloved, and Seiren, one of his most trusted subordinates. He's holding a book and keeps on averting his eyes at the door every once in a while.

"Is everything all right onii-sama?" He looked at the brown eyes of his sister/fiancee and smiled softly. "Yes."

"Ruka! You got my chocolate again! Give it back!" The boisterous voice of Hanabusa Aidou echoed around the silent room.

"Hanabusa-san. What seems to be the problem there?"

"She." And pointed at Ruka. "Ate the last of my Poky Choco!"

The teacher twitched for a second then regained his composure. He's in front of many vampires after all, not to mention Kuran Kaname and Kuran Yuuki. The siblings from the Kuran vampire clan.

Just then a gust of cold air came in and blew the candles off, Kaname's eyes reduced to slits and turned red.

"She's here."

He turned his head swiftly to the others and saw their sudden thirst for blood.

"Minna." He can see the bloodlust in Aidou's eyes.

"Kaname-sama... She... I-Is sh-she-"

The door opened to reveal a breathtakingly beautiful girl with the chairman beside her.

"Night class students, I want to introduce you to our new student."

"Watashino Hyuuga Aya-des. Yurushko onegaishimasu." She took a little bow and surveyed the entire room.

"Well, I guess we'd leave you here to get to know you're new classmate. And I think that you're finished with your lecture Matsumoto-san?"

"Hai Chairman."

"Let's leave then."

The door creaked slightly and closed with a loud bang.

A new vampire stands inside the room, they could feel her gaze penetrating through them. Her beautiful dark blue eyes is staring at the one person at the back.

She made her way to the back silently, everyone could feel their own sweat trickling down slowly.

She has this unimaginable aura surrounding her like a magnet. Everyone can be drawn towards it. Her long black hair that reaches up to her legs swished behind her giving them the intoxicating scent of strawberries, her pale feautures sculpted gently was even more beautiful under the moonlight, her blue eyes turning into the blood red of the famous night beings.

She landed right in front of a trembling Aidou.

Placed her hands in each side of his face and whispered gently.

"I missed you... Aidou-niisama."

The blonde's eyes widened a bit to actually process her words. He's a genius, but this is too much to take.

He let his emotions flow and hugged the girl firmly.

"I missed you. Aya."

She surround his neck with her slender arms for a moment then break off gently to face the others who was watching everything catiously.

"Okairi, Aya." It was Kaname, his face showing a genuine hapiness.

"Eh. Tadaima, Kaname-kun." She could practically taste their hunger for her blood in the air.

"Ne, I don't want to spend my first night here fearing you'll all pounce on me any second." And as if by magic, their eyes returned to its normal color.

"Gomenasai, Aya-sama." They motioned to take a bow when she held up her hands to stop them.

"No need for that. I'm here as a normal vampire. Your classmate, and I want this to be perfect, I''m back, and I don't plan on being treated like that."

"Who are you?" The sweet voice of Yuuki was heard.

She made her way towards the young heiress and curled the nearest strand of hair in front of her.

"So you are Yuuki... I've heard things about you."

Yuuki's eyes twitched and slapped the hand away from her hair.

"Who are you?" She repeated.

"You've changed so much, I thought that returning you back from being a human would do you good. Instead, I think that it killed something good inside you. It feels like your vampire side ate your human side."

The vampire glared at the other lady in front her. She didn't know why she felt the sudden surge of anger curse through her. Maybe because she's insulted or maybe because somewhere within her, she knows that Aya's right, that she used to be sweeter, kinder, she heard those words once, from the person she never thought would, Zero, and she hated how she, Hyuuga Aya, the new student, knows something like that that no one does.

Impulse guided her along with her anger and acted towards it, she slapped the the vampire in front of her. Quite hard.

Gasps were heard and the air was filled with fury immedaitely.

"Yuuki-sama! Why did you do that?!" It was Ruka looking so shocked and angry at once.

"Why is it that you're all acting like I'm the one who's at fault?! She's the one who insulted me! And I stand above all of you!"

Everyone stiffened and widened their eyes. It's true that Yuuki wasn't sweet or as kind as she was when she was human, but not this mean. It's like their Yuuki was replaced with a mean bitch. They all know their places, there were the nobles, the commoners, and there are the few purebloods or the elites. They know that, but they never heard Yuuki or even Kaname voice out something like that.

"I think that what she's saying is a mere opinion Yuuki." The calm voice of Kaname was heard. "And you don't have to put things like that. They know their places, you don't need to remind them all the time."

That shut her up and calmed her down immediately, she was filled with guilt and shame all at once when she realized what she said and what she did.

"I'm sorry." And ran outside the room.

"So she doesn't know who I am."

The room was silent.

Then the cool voice of Shiki echoed. "We want for her to be the one to know everything herself. Aya-sama. And we respect your decision to keep things on a low profile."

"Thank you." She turned to Kaname, "You should go after her."

"Yes, I should."

"Hai." The students left the room quietly.

But the mysterious stranger stayed behind for a while to look at the familiar figure staring back at her with cold eyes.

"Kiryuu Zero..." And left the room.

The prefect saw everything and he felt the anger burst through him when the new student said something to Yuuki that insulted the young Kuran. But he couldn't help think that what she said was right, and what Yuuki said was hurtful.

It's time to consult the books on who she is.
