Chapter 1

Chairman Cross had always watched over his students at Cross Academy as if they were his own children. Each and every student had their own spot in his heart. Even the vampires that inhabited the Moon dorms had their own spot. Each child had their own worries. Cross paid attention to each child, and did his best to make sure they were safe and happy.

One of his children in particular had him worried. Kaname Kuran, the leader of the Moon dorm, and of all the lower class vampires. Kaname was a special case. At a young age the responsibility of his birthright weighed down on his small shoulders. The boy held his head up high and embraced any hardship that came his way. Kaname was able to handle all of the pressure of being born a pureblood vampire because he had his parents, and sweet sister to support him every step of the way.

But when his parents were murdered right in front of him by his own uncle and his sister disappeared, Kaname's heart nearly shattered completely. In hopes of saving the last member of his family (Kaname refused to acknowledge his uncle, Rido, as anything but his parents' murderer) Kaname searched relentlessly for Rido in hopes of finding his sister whom was believed to have been kidnapped by Rido on the night of his parents' murder. When Kaname finally found a trace of his sister, his heart completely shattered. In a warehouse, in the town next to where he used to live, was a ridiculous amount of blood, and not just anyone's blood…Yuki's blood.

Kaname could smell it. His dear, sweet little sister's, Yuki's, blood covered the warehouse. Kaname knew. He just knew. Even without finding a body. At Yuki's age, even a pureblood wouldn't be able to survive losing that amount of blood.

Kaname mourned for months and months afterwards. Then he began to shut down most of his emotions. After that he slowly began to function, and act as he was expected to. He did his duty as one of the last remaining Kurans. There was no happiness, no love.

Cross laid his head on his desk. Even after Kaname decided to help Cross with his dream of coexistence, there was no emotion in it. Cross pouted. Kaname never showed any emotion even with all of Cross's crazy antics. He was going to have to put more effort into making Kaname smile.

Cross sighed as his stomach growled. All this stress was making him hungry. He got up from his desk and went to his kitchen. He looked into his fridge to find there was hardly anything edible inside. His shoulders slumped. He hadn't been able to go shopping in a while. His head banged against the door of the fridge.

"Having trouble, Cross?" Cross jumped and swiftly turned around to see Kaname leaning against doorway.

"Kaname-chan~! Don't scare me like that!" Cross whined. Kaname raised an eyebrow.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, Kaname-chan! It's so horrible! I am going to die~! There is no food, and I am starving! Please help me, Kana-chan! I am begging you!" Cross wailed dramatically. Kaname just stared at him.

"And just what are you expecting me to do, Cross-san?"

"Could you please watch over the children for an hour? I just need to go shopping to restock on food. Please~?!" Cross gave Kaname his own version of puppy eyes. Honestly, it was a sad attempt, but Kaname had come to the Chairman's house in need of a break from Aidou. Kaname had just recently come across Aidou's "collection". A room full of items Kaname had broken with his powers was not something Kaname was expecting when he was going through the spare rooms in the Moon dorm. After he made Aidou get rid of each and every last one of the items in the room, Aidou began following him like a lost puppy.

Honestly, Kaname needed a break, and Cross was offering the perfect opportunity to relax and get away from the night class for an hour. Kaname looked over to Cross's watery eyes and nodded his head in approval.

"For one hour, Cross." Cross attempted to glomp him, but missed.

"Thank you so~ much, Kana-chan! I will never forget this!" Cross practically ran out of the room to get to his car. Kaname just stared after him and shook his head.

Cross was skipping by the time he left the store. Cross had bought so much yummy food. He couldn't wait to sink his teeth into the chicken he had gotten on discount. All he had to do now was find his car…. Cross stopped skipping when he realized he forgot where he had parked. He looked around to find he didn't know where he was. This street was definitely not the one he had parked his car on.

Actually, he normally avoided this street because he knew some bad people who tended to hang around on this street. He quickly glanced around, getting nervous now that he knew where he was.

A flash of silver in his peripheral vision had him turn his head sharply.

Someone was there.
