I'm not sure if this is good but I'll try my best to make it good XD

This is actually a setting of what I imagine it would be like after all the chaos in Vampire Knight, after the war and all that. Kaname, Yuki and the rest decided to come back to Cross Academy and continue to support Kaien Cross with his goal of proving that Vampires and Humans can live together in peace.

I hope that gives you an idea of what's going on.
Ps. Yuki and Kaname are not together. (You'll find out why, soon XD)

I hope you enjoy this and tell me what you think :)

The Night Will Subside, I Promise
Chapter 1: The Gathering

Kaname Kuran stared at the guests that slowly danced to the rhythm of the soothing music. His eyes couldn't help but lingered to Yuki and Zero. It was a pity that Yuki wasn't the other half of him but the other half of her lifemate, Zero. Kaname sighed, sipping on his glass as he waited for the end of the festivity.

"Don't you want to mingle around?" Takuma asked the pure blood.

"You know I rarely attend parties such as this, so I'm quite unsure of what to do." Kaname chuckled before turning to his bestfriend.

"Why don't you go and dance? I notice that alot of the girls are eyeing you with high hope that you'll dance with them."

Takuma averted his gaze from Kaname to the group of girls before smiling sheepishly, scratching his head, "Well, I guess I should entertain them then."

But before he left, Takuma leaned in and whispered, "Please try to have fun, okay? It saddens us that we're having fun but you're not, Kaname."

Kaname kept himself silent as Ichijou left for another company. The thought of finding the right girl for himself never really occurred in his mind. Well, not until recently.

On the other side of the street, Takaya Hirate sped on her bike, cursing at her mother silently. She had plans to ride around, to explore new places but apparently her family was invited to a special gathering. It wasn't really a must for her to go at first but when her mother found out that Kaname Kuran was going to be there, it practically became hell for Takaya.

"Great... Now she's going to embarrass me... I'm positive that she wants me to get to know Kaname-sama..." Takaya rolled her eyes before looking at her appearance.

She won't be surprise if everyone looked at her akwardly. She was wearing a black dress that has long sleeves and a three inch heels while riding on her bike, with her helmet on. Pathetic, wasn't it?

She made a turn and was soon greeted by a bodyguard.

"Welcome, Hirate-sama. Everyone is waiting for your arrival."

Takaya raised her eyebrow, confused at his words.

"Uh... Okay... Thank you." She thanked before taking off her helmet, revealing her black shoulder length hair.

She combed it back abit with her delicate fingers before going up the steps. As she stepped in the ball, everyone stopped to stare.

Oh no... Everyone's staring at me... She groaned, walking cautiously as her eyes scanned for her parents.

She knew why they were staring and she somehow wished that she didn't had to come.

"Honey! Finally! You came! I was getting worried."

Her mother then eyed the helmet that was cupped under her arm before shaking her head, knowing her daughter well.

"You didn't take the limo, didn't you, Takaya."

Before Takaya could defend herself, her mother pulled her arm and dragged her along.

"I don't know what I'm going to do with you, child. For once, can't you please take the limo? Your bike isn't the only form of transportation, you know." Her mother nagged.

"Yes, mother. I'm sorry but you know that I love my bike! At least I came dressing decently..."

"Mother, ouch. You're hurting my arm..." Takaya winced, trying her best to escape from her mother's death grip.

Then, she stumbled and fell but before her butt could meet the cold, merciless floor, two firm and muscular arms caught her and she was then exposed to the most majestic brown eyes she has ever seen.

"I'm so sorry, Kaname-sama! Please forgive my daughter!" Takaya's mother apologized to Kaname, who looked amused.

So this is the great Kaname Kuran that everyone's been talking about... Not bad but he's not that great either.

Kaname studied the green eyed girl that he was holding in his arms before helping her stand up, wondering why she was carrying a bike helmet around.

"That's okay, Makino-san. It's a great pleasure to finally meet your daughter. I've heard many things about her. She's definitely one of a kind." Kaname assured her.

Takaya heaved a sigh of relief when her mother left. She was slowly turning red by her mother's actions. She might have died if her mother didn't leave any sooner.

"Here. Let me take your helmet." Kaname offered but Takaya declined the offer and smiled.

"It's okay. You don't have to trouble yourself."

"No. I insist. I'll ask one of the servants to keep it safe until the party's over. You are planning to stay, right?"

"Yeah. I have to stay till the end." She groaned, tucking her hair behind her ear.

She ambled to one of the pillars and leaned against it, watching people that were alien to her.

She never mingled with any of them or attend any gatherings or parties before so that kind of explained why she was so foreign to them the moment she stepped in the ball.

"Care for a drink, Hirate?" Kaname offered, holding a glass in front of Takaya.

"Sure. Thank you."

"So Takaya. Tell me about yourself."

She turned her head with a questioning face.

Kaname smirked, "You know you're going to be my precious girl, right?"

"Excuse me?" Takaya retorted, not amused at all.

Before Kaname had the chance to talk, Takaya snapped.

"Listen oh all mighty Kaname Kuran. Just because you're one of the rare pure bloods, it doesn't mean that you have the authority to claim anyone that you wish to make yours. So excuse me because I have to go to the ladies."

Most of the guest nearby gasped at the sight of the scene, probably shocked at what Takaya had just said. No one ever talked to Kaname like that, well, with the exception of Zero of course.

Takaya walked through the empty hallways that lead to the ladies. She entered the ladies before looking at herself in the mirror, adjusting her hair. She sighed. Right now, she really wished that she had ditched the party earlier. She was bored to tears and Kaname was being an idiot. She didn't understand why many girls were in love with him. Okay, maybe it was the looks but looks didn't mattered to Takaya. It was the heart that appealed to Takaya and in this case, Kaname was purely ridiculous.

You shouldn't make any judgement about someone you barely know. Maybe he's a nice guy. Give him a chance. Her conscience debated with her but she refused to listen and got out. As soon as she left the ladies, a figure pinned her against the wall.

Takaya took a deep breath of Kaname's scent as her pulse enticed him.

"You'd been very rude." Kaname whispered, pressing his body against hers. Somehow, his voice sounded sensual to Takaya and that took her breath away. He took a scent of her sweet alluring neck before brushing his tongue over her throbbing pulse, moving closer as his incisors lengthen. Takaya's body stood still as she awaited for his fangs to sink deep into her flesh.

Told you that you were making a too early judgement.

Before she could react, Kaname kissed her neck, taking her off guard. He pulled away, placing his hand on Takaya's cheeks, gently stroking it, admiring how soft it was.

Without a word, he left but before he disappeared, he turned and smiled, "I'll see you in the academy next week."
