Chapter 01: Murasakiiro no Bara
Shinji Ikari, Toji Suzuhara, and Kensuke Aide ran to Mr. Yagari's classroom a minute after the bell rang and barged in to the classroom, falling to their hands and knees.
"We're so sorry, Mr. Yagari-!" Shinji exclaimed, panting and standing up.
The other two stood up as well and bowed with Shinji to Mr. Yagari.
"You're late, I have no choice but to-" Mr. Yagari interrupted.
"Sorry, sir, but we were just talking to Headmaster Cross! He was discussing the rules of Cross Academy!" Shinji interrupted.
Mr. Yagari sighed and said, "Fine, just take a seat."
"Yes, sir!" the three said, sitting down.
~*Back in the hall when the three ran to Mr. Yagari's*~
Shinji ran so hard to Mr. Yagari's classroom when a tall figure bumped into him hard. He crashed onto the hard wood floor and rubbed his head. Toji and Kensuke stopped to wait for Shinji.
"Are you alright?" the tall figure asked.
Shinji looked up and saw a very beautiful older student from the Night Class.
"Yes, senpai, I am, thank you," he said.
The older student stood up and picked the young boy up to his feet.
"My name is Dorm President Kaname Kuran. What is your name?" the older student asked.
"Shinji Ikari, senpai," Shinji said.
"Dorm President Kuran! Are you alright?!" Kaname's pawn (named Hanabusa Aidou) ran up and glared at Shinji. "Go to class!"
Shinji flinched and ran off.
Kaname glared at Hanabusa and slapped him across the cheek.
"There was no fault from him, Aidou, if anything, it was my fault, I walked in his path," Kaname said.
"But, my lord, he was running in the halls!" Hanabusa said.
"I know..." Kaname said.
Kaname walked back to the Moon Dormitory with Hanabusa and went to bed.
~*A Couple Days after Toji, Shinji, and Kensuke Arrived and Attended Cross Academy*~
Lunch Break
"I'm telling you, I think Dorm President Kuran likes you, Shinji," Toji said, taking a bite of his ramen.
"Why do you say that?" Shinji asked, sipping his Miso soup that he made. And beside him was a folded-upsoft blanket with a ribbon to wrap it (also a note on it, saying in big cursive letters, "From Kaname, to Shinji"), a rectangle block of pure milk chocolate, a nice glass bottle of soda, and an invitation to Vice Dorm President Takuma Ichijou's birthday party.
"Dude! He got you a ton of gifts and an invation to Vice Dorm President Ichijou's B-Day party!" Kensuke said, taking a bite of his curry. "And the main reason why he's inviting you is to see you!"
"Yeah, you're probably right," Shinji said.
Then, Takuma Ichijou and Ruka Souen walked in with smiles on their faces. Their eyes were fixed on Shinji. "Shinji Ikari, Dorm President Kuran would like to sign you out of class for just a few hours," Takuma said.
Shinji walked out with Takuma and Ruka as Hanabusa Aido and Akatsuki Kain took his stuff.
"Where are we going?" Shinji asked.
"Lord Kaname is taking you to a tailor to custom make your party suit," Ruka said.
"Ruka-" Takuma was about to reason with her about calling Kaname "Lord Kaname" when Shinji asked, "Lord Kaname? Is he a king?"
"Only Lord Kaname can tell you his true identity," Hanabusa said.
"Oh," Shinji said.
They finally got to a car with Kaname in it and drove off to the tailor.
"I heard that you recieved my gifts that I sent you. How do you like them, Shinji?" Kaname asked, smiling.
"I love them, Lord Kaname," Shinji said, smiling.
Kaname frowned when he heard the Lord in it.
"Shinji, I am simply a Dorm President. Please do not call me 'Lord'," Kaname said.
"But Ruka called you 'Lord Kaname'," Shinji said.
Kaname sighed and leaned back. "I suppose that the time to tell you is now, Shinji-kun... The Night Class is full of vampires and I am their leader. I'm a pureblood vampire," Kaname said to Shinji.
Shinji gasped and his eyes widened. "...So...are you a king?" Shinji asked.
"I am," Kaname said.
