I do not own Vampire Knight sadly T-T it is such a great manga and now anime as well. One of my favorites. All credit for the story and characters of Vampire Knight go to Hino Matsuri. The only one I do own is the lovely Tamilka Henshin and Renzo Henshin. All the other characters are not from my creation.

Silver Rose

Chapter One - New Home

I snapped my eyes open as the carriage hit one of the larger bumps of this journey of mine. Trying to remove the sleep feeling from my eyes I rubbed them while I yawned. Pulling the curtain open by my window I noticed the sun was clearly not there anymore and the moon had replaced its spot. The never ending cycle, one of the few things you can count on in this world. I glanced over to my companion who was traveling with me today. He was not the one leading the carriage but was the one who has taken care of me for many years. He was my adopted father who had taken me in when he just could have easily turned his back away from me. I have come to love him as my father. He went by the name Renzo Hanshin. He smiled at me kindly moving a few strands of my silver hair out of my face.

"Did you sleep well my dear?" my father, Renzo asked me.

"I was sleeping nicely in till we hit that rather large bump," I stated a little irritated. That caused my father to chuckle from deep within his chest. I was usually grumpy when it came to first waking up. He pulled me closer to him so I could rest my head on his shoulder.

"You are my precious daughter I hope you will remember that even while being gone for so long away from me. Although I am sure my cousin will take good care of you while you attend his new school," my father said softly as he held me. I sighed softly not sure about leaving him. My father has been awfully sick lately with fighting cancer so I did not wish to leave him. However he insisted I come to this school, Cross Academy. My uncle owns that school and I have not seen him for quite a number of years. Although my father and Kaien Cross the owner of the school are only cousins I have always called Kaien my uncle since the two of them acted like brothers. In fact my father grew up with Kaien's family and not his own.

"Cross Academy. I do not want to leave you father but it will be nice to see Uncle Kaien and Yuuki again," I stated as I looked up towards my father. I smiled at him only to be returned with one of his own smiles. He kissed the top of my forehead before turning his gaze to outside. I glanced over to his window to find the curtain was already moved completely out of the way. The night sky could clearly be seen above the trees that ran along the path we were traveling on. I closed my eyes feeling safe just being with my father. He was always there to protect me. I listened to the creaking of the carriage not paying attention to much of anything else. I just wanted to be at our destination. I really hate rides I always seem to feel dizzy no matter what I ride in, car or carriage. I shut my eyes tightly trying to keep my mind off of my stomach. I felt my father's hand stroke the top of my head trying to help me keep my mind off of my stomach. It always made me feel a little bit better which made me happy. Another one of the many ways he is there for me. Before long I had fallen asleep again. This time I was woken up by my father when we had arrived at our destination.

"Tika we are here you should get up to meet up with Kaien," I heard my father say causing me to open my eyes. He was using my nickname everyone seems to call me by. 'Tika' is the replacement for Tamilka my real name. Although I have come to respond to Tika quicker then Tamilka. My emerald green eyes soon snapped open once again. I sat up as my father opened the door of the carriage to step outside. I moved strands of my silver hair behind my ear as I moved to step out of the carriage as well. My father held out his hand to help me down which I gladly excepted. Glancing up towards the school I will be attending I realized how large it really was. It was much more then I imagined. My father had told me many stories about this place along our trip here. It look much like an old castle that has been fixed up. My eyes soon glanced to someone shouting out my name.

"Tika-chan, Renzo-kun you have arrived," said a very familiar voice. It came from my dear uncle Kaien. I smiled as I waved to him while he ran to meet up with us.

"Uncle Kaien," I greeted as he gave me an hug. I smiled while I returned the family greeting hug. "It's so nice to see you again. Where is Yuuki-chan?" I asked looking up towards my uncle. He had his light brown hair pulled back into a pony tail. The usual way he put his hair up.

"Yuuki is patrolling at the moment. She doesn't know you are here yet since I wanted to surprise my loving daughter," Kaien said happily as he stepped away from me. He turned to my father giving him an hug before stepping away from the both of us. I noticed the driver of the carriage was now carrying my bags as my dad held his own bags. He was going to stay here for a couple of days before leaving me in the care of my uncle at this school. This school was divided into two classes. One of the Day Class students and the other as the Night Class students. I was already in my uniform for school since it was the dress code for this place. The girls uniform was with a skirt I found look adorable but much shorter then my likings. Oh well what could I do about it.

"Come I will take you to my office where we could talk and stay out of everyones way. Well this carriage is bound to be seen and cause suspicion and this school's residents are very curious," Kaien stated before turning around on his heels. He started to walk towards the school. I turned to the driver thanking him for his help. I soon picked up my bags to carry them with me. I usually packed light and the uniforms were provided here so I did not need to bring everything. I quickened my pace to catch up to my father and uncle. They were happily chatting with one another catching up on some old times I would have to guess. I walked calmly behind them not paying much attention to their conversation. I kept on following them as I glanced around the area. This place was going to take some getting use too. I look up towards the school part of this place to notice some people walking around in uniforms the same as my own. They must be my classmates. My gaze soon moved to the sky to watch the moon. It shined down making my skin look more like a ghost I am assuming. I usually have a bit of a pale complection.

"Tika-chan?"

"Tika-chan?" said my father again. I shook my head before looking towards my father. I tilt my head in question on why he was calling my name. Just a minute ago he was completely involved with his conversation with Kaien to notice much of his surroundings.

"Tika-chan would you prefer to sleep in your dorm room or stay with me in till I leave?" my father asked me. I smiled softly as I moved my hand through my soft hair.

"No father it will be fine to stay in my dorm. No special privilege should be handed out to me for being a relative of the chairman of this school. I will be fine and besides it will be good for me to get use to being around my kind again," I answered. I glanced towards the fountain in the distance as my father and uncle continued to walk. I soon turned my attention back to them running after them to catch up. It was not long before my uncle opened the door to his office. I sat down in a chair while my father sat in the other chair beside mine. My uncle moved behind his desk that had a folder on it. I noticed my name clearly printed on the folder meaning that it was my folder he had been looking at. He really did like to prepare for things.

"So Renzo-kun you have decided to allow Tika-chan stay here. That will be wonderful. Yuuki will be so happy when she finds out," Kaien said happily. He rested his head on his hands. He was overjoyed by this point. My uncle had always been one to get excited about the simplest of things.

"Yes my dear daughter will be left in your care. I do hope she will not cause trouble and you watch over her Kaien. I do not want to loose the only thing close to me," my father stated. I sighed, my father had always been protective over me. He should know that I was much more capable of things then he gave me credit for.

"Father do not worry I will be fine. Although make sure to keep in touch with me. I do not want to find out your are in the hospital while I'm gone. I sure hope you do not over work yourself," I said with concern. I was always worried about my father since one day I got the call that he had collapsed at work. He was diagnosed with cancer and it really displeased me. I do not like seeing one close to me suffering while putting on a smile around me. I know he does that.

"Do not worry yourself Tika-chan I will be fine without you. Remember you are my daughter not the parent," my father said as he chuckled.

"Awe Tika-chan you never cease to surprise me. You are so caring and its just so adorable. I am so glad you will be here to help better this school. You will be an excellent addition," Kaien said happily again. He had jumped out of his seat and was jumping up and down with excitement. Often my uncle was a little to much for myself. Makes me wonder how Yuuki could deal with him all the time.

"Thank you Uncle Kaien," I said as I nodded my head. He glanced to my father who was giving me a sympathetic smile. Uncle sure was a character at times but I have come to love him as family. My father was only my adopted father so this was my adopted family. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a knock from the door behind us. I glanced to the door wondering who it could be.

"Come in," I heard Kaien say. Soon the door was opened revealing two people.

"Chairman everything seems to be fine tonight which is just great," I heard a familiar voice state. This caused me to stand up as I smiled.

"Yuuki-chan," I greeted as I ran up to her giving her an hug.

"Tika-cha?!" Yuuki said. She returned the hug glad to see me as well. My cousin has always been so adorable. Even when she was younger. Although the figure behind her I did not recognize. I opened my eyes to notice a silver haired man standing behind her. He glared at me but I could tell he was rather surprised. I quickly stepped back from Yuuki smiling at the dark brown haired girl.

"Who are you?" I asked turning my gaze back to the silver haired me.

"Zero Kiryuu," he stated a little coldly. I flinched slightly at his tone of voice. I was not sure what I had done to make him angry with me.

"Zero be more nice. This is Tika my cousin," Yuuki said as she turned around to face the man. I hid myself a bit behind Yuuki not liking Zero's glares I was receiving.

"How can someone like her be your cousin," Zero hissed but just shook his head. "I'm leaving chairman since nothing has happened tonight," he stated quickly before turning around to leave.

"Zero!" Yuuki called but sighed. She turned around to face everyone in the room. "Sorry about that Tika-chan," Yuuki said sheepishly.

"Do not worry no harm was done but why was he in such a bad mood?" I asked tilting my head.

"It's not your fault Tika-chan. Zero came into my care about four years ago and his family was killed by a vampire. He is from a family of vampire hunters and he just dislikes all vampires," Kaien explained from behind me.

"He didn't need to be mean to Tika though but vampires our a sore spot for him I can see. Yuuki-chan how are you?" my father asked as he stood up from his chair.

"Good, Tika are you attending this school you are in the uniform," Yuuki said pointing out my white uniform. Yuuki's uniform looked very much like mine but was in the shade of black instead of white. I smiled as I nodded my head. It was responded with a small squeal from my cousin.

"That's wonderful then that means you will be attending the Night Class. We won't be in the same classes but we will be able to see each other at least," Yuuki said happily. I smiled as I grabbed her hands. I turned my head over to my uncle hearing him suggest something.

"Yuuki why don't you show Tika-chan around then take her to the dorm rooms after you are finish. I will have your things placed into your room Tika-chan," Kaien stated waving us off. Yuuki agreed and lead me out of the room pulling me along by my hand. We walked for quite some time and she explained to me about the school. This place was huge and I wouldn't doubt if I got lost a few times for the first couple of times that I am on my own. Soon Yuuki was going to show me to the dorm rooms where I will be staying. The building looks rather nice from the outside. We pasted a creepy old man who appeared to be on guard. He kind of scared me so I made Yuuki rush past him which she did not object about.

"Yuuki," I heard behind us. I turned around to notice Zero standing behind us.

"Zero what are you doing here?" Yuuki asked.

"I should be asking you that. What are you doing at the Moon Dorm?" Zero asked keeping his eye on me. Having a past about vampires killing your family must have been a horrible sight to see and remember to this day.

"She is showing me to the dorm rooms now. Don't worry I won't let anything happen to her," I stated. I know he had a horrible past for anyone to endure but he should not class every vampire as the ones to attack humans helplessly. That was not who I am. I turned to look towards the dorm rooms wonder what will greet me from the other side. I am not use to being around other vampries so this was going to be different. I soon notice Yuuki walking up towards the dorm room and Zero was traveling close behind us. Most likely to keep an eye on Yuuki. He gave off an unwelcoming atmosphere around him but I guess it can't be helped too much. Yuuki soon opened the door and walked inside as I followed closely behind her. Zero came inside as well and stood beside Yuuki.

"Yuki-chan what brings you here?" asked a blond with green eyes. He smiled kindly.

"Ichijou-sempai! I'm here to show Tika-chan to her dorms. She just transferred here," Yuuki explained. The blond known as Ichijou soon turned his gaze over to me. He smiled as he nodded his head.

"Greetings Tamilka its a pleasure for you to join us. I heard of your coming from Kaname I am Takuma Ichijou," Ichijou introduced himself as he smiled. He seemed nice although I knew not all vampires were cheerful like Ichijou seemed. My father has told me about vampires before.

"Greetings Ichijou but please call me Tika everyone else does," I stated. I put my hands together behind my back as I shifted my weight on my feet.

"I'll show Tika around from here Yuuki, Zero. You may return to patrolling if you would like," Ichijou stated before turning his gaze back to me. I turned to Yuuki giving her an hug before waving goodnight to her.

"Well then Tika I should introduce you to everyone if you would like but first we should meet up with Kaname to let him know you have arrived," Ichijou suggested. I nodded my head and allowed him to lead the way up the stairs. We past a few doors as we walked. The dorm room was much more amazing then I would have thought. The outside looked really nice but being inside here was even better. Amazing I would say. I stopped walking when Ichijou stopped in front of a door and knocked.

"Kaname-Sama the new transfer student has arrived. Tamilka Henshin," Ichijou stated. I soon heard the acknowledgement and that of someone asking for me to come in. I nervously pushed open the door stepping inside. Ichijou did not follow me inside. Most likely has some other business to deal with. I fidget slightly with the ends of my white skirt as I glanced over to the dark brown haired man sitting in front of a chess board. This would be the first time meeting a pure blood. It was quite nerve racking but I had to do my best to be brave. He soon glanced up towards me. His stare was not cold like Zero's but not exactly that welcoming either. I have heard of him from Yuuki when we were younger. The little human girl speaked of Kaname all the time so I have heard some stories about him. Even with the stories of him being kind it still scared me being here. I have terrible nerves when it came to meeting new people. Especially with meeting Zero and him already hating me for not doing anything just for being a vampire.

"Tamilka you have arrived. Yuuki speaks very highly of you. I asked her and she says you are her cousin. It is not often that a vampire is raised with an human family. You know of the rules of this dorm correct?" Kaname stated calmly. He continued to stare towards me causing me to shift slightly under his gaze. I nodded my head.

"Yes Kaname-sama I do know of the rules of this dorm. You will not need to worry I know how to behave myself," I stated smiling softly. I believe it was part of my vampire nature to hold a calm face when dealing with others. However I was crumbling on the inside. I had heard of some of the problems my uncle stated about some of the vampires. It is an hard thing to switch from blood to the tablets. I have had to live on the tablets for a long time so I had time to adjust but it is still really hard. The tablets are not the same as blood that is for sure. Kaname nodded his head seeming to be satified with my answer.

"Ichijou will be waiting outside to show you to your dorm," Kaname stated turning his attention back to his chess board. I bowed my head before turning around to leave Kaname's room.

"And Tika, welcome to the academy," I heard Kaname state. I smiled softly before leaving.

"Thank you Kaname-sama," I stated before opening the door and closing it behind me. I turned my attention to the green eyed blond now standing in front of me again. Kaname was the first pure blood I had ever met. I felt quite small around him which was something I did not like. I would make sure not to make him angry that is for sure. Although so far it appeared it would not be that bad staying here. I just hope my father does not miss me to terribly much during my stay here. It was going to take some getting us to staying around vampires again. It has been so long since I have stayed among my own kind. It's going to be different from my human family.

Well there is the first chapter this is one of my first fan fictions. I hope I get some fans maybe just a couple at least. Although either way I am going to continue to write in this one since well I like the way this story is beginning. I do not base to update on the amount of reviews I find that a little mean to do to the readers. I just update when I can and exams are coming up here soon but only two weeks left of school then I have an whole summer of doing nothing. On the weekends I most likely for sure will update but I will try my best during the weekdays to work on the story. I will update as soon as I can. Once summer starts I will have a lot time to update so that is good. Hope you enjoyed it
