Hey! VampKnightLover here! So, my cousin wanted me to write a fanfiction with my OC with Ichiru, so I thought I'd take a shot! Here is my story! Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight, but Yumi's my cousin's, and Yuri and Chiko are mine.
"Hey new girl." Chiko Kawashima says to Yuri Cross, a new girl at Cross Academy. She had recently found her siblings, Yumi, Yuki, and Kaname, who all go to this school.
"Yes?" she asks, turning her head to look at Chiko. She had grown accustomed to people in the day class calling her new girl.
"Why are you even here? No one likes you. You're just an ugly, annoying whore." Chiko says, punching Yuri in the stomach. Yuri takes a step back, and regains her composure.
"If that's all you had to say, I'll be leaving now." Yuri says, turning around.
"Oh, no you don't!" Chiko yells, grabbing Yuri's arm, throwing her to the ground. She resorts in kicking her sides, causing Yuri to curl up from the pain. The cause of Chiko's anger towards Yuri is unknown to her, but she just takes the abuse, not wanting to hurt Chiko.
"Hey! What are you doing!?" Ichiru Kiryu yells at Chiko, running over to Yuri's side. Chiko responds with a hairflip, before she turns and saunters off. "Are you okay?" Ichiru asks Yuri as he helps her up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." she says. She tries to walk, but stumbles a bit.
"Here, let me take you to the Headmaster's office." Ichiru says, picking Yuri up bridal style.
"Oh...Uh, okay." she says, feeling embarrassed. He smiles at her and walks to the Headmaster's office.
"I don't believe I know your name." Ichiru says, smiling at her.
"It's Cross. Yuri Cross." Yuri responds, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Yuri... That's a pretty name." he says, making Yuri blush slightly. "You must be the Headmaster's new adopted daughter everyone's been talking about."
"Yeah... Um, what's your name?" she asks, fiddling with her thumbs.
"My name's Ichiru Kiryu." he says.
"Nice to meet you, Ichiru." Yuri says, smiling.
"Nice to meet you, too, Yuri." Ichiru says, walking into the Headmaster's office.
"Oh, dear ~ What happened to Yuri?" the Headmaster asks, noticing the bruise on Yuri's cheek from when Chiko threw her against the ground. Yuri hops out of Ichiru's arms and goes to get something to wrap her sides.
"I'm fine, father. I fell." Yuri lies. Ichiru gives her a confused look and follows her.
"Hey, why'd you lie to him?" he asks, sitting in front of her.
"I don't want Chiko to get in trouble." she says, lifting up her shirt slightly to put the bandage on.
"Here, let me help." Ichiru says, grabbing the bandage, wrapping it around her, a slight blush dusting his cheeks. A tear falls on his hand, and he looks up to see Yuri trying to stifle her tears.
"I'm sorry," she starts, wiping her eyes quickly, "I must look terrible right now, and now I'm crying, and we just met, and you probably got a terrible first impression of me-" she would've kept going on her rant, but was cut off when Ichiru hugged her.
"Hey, Yuri? Will you be my best friend?" he asks, wiping a few tears away. She looks at him shocked.
"Y-you really want to be best friends?" she asks, surprised.
"Yeah, you seem like a good person, and I really like you. Let's be best friends, okay?" he says, smiling in her face.
"Okay!" she says, patting his head. She pulls down her shirt and looks in a mirror. "Ugh, this is really ugly." she says, poking her bruise.
"Nothing could ruin your pretty face." Ichiru says, walking out of the room. Yuri stares at the door for a moment, and then shrugs, standing up.
Ichiru walks over to a wall and slides down it, sitting on the ground, holding his head in his hands. His heart was racing a mile a minute and he couldn't calm it. 'Why does she make me feel this way? I just met her!' he thinks, blushing a little.
"Ichiru?" Zero asks as he walk by.
"Zero, I think I'm in love."
"Ichiru!" Yuri exclaims, running into class. It's been one week since the incident with Chiko, and Yuri and Ichiru had grown quite close.
"What is it, Yuri?" Ichiru asks, looking at her.
"We're going on a school bonding trip!" she says, sitting down next to him.
"You seem excited." he says, smiling at her.
"This is the first time I've ever been able to do these types of things. And it's going to be great! We'll get to spend a week together at camp!" she says, staring dreamily into space, "No school work~" Ichiru laughs and shakes her shoulder to make her some back to earth.
"You know that we'll be separated for the most part, right? I mean," he starts whispering, "you're a vampire, and the night class usually doesn't go on these things, and plus I'm a boy and you're a girl."
"Oh, I already talked to father. He said that we could sleep in the same tent because you're my only friend, and he doesn't want me to be lonely. Yumi and Takuma will be with us, too." Yuri says, smiling at him.
Ichiru looks away from her. 'I don't know if I can handle this...'
"Hmm?" Yuri looks at him curiously, and Ichiru smiles at her.
"Class is starting." he says, patting her head. She turns and looks at the teacher and lets out a bored sigh.
"Takuma, Ichiru has a crush on Yuri!" Yumi says. Yumi and Takuma were outside of the class, looking in through the window.
"Shh, don't be too loud." he says, earning a pout from Yumi. He pats her head and says "I don't think he does. They're just friends."
"Oh, he does. You'll see!" Yumi exclaims, running back to her dorm.
"Yumi... Wait up!" Takuma calls, chasing after her.
Yuri turns her head to look out the window her sister and her sister's boyfriend were just at. She shrugs and lays her head down, closing her eyes.
Ichiru looks down at her and sighs. She can be so childish sometimes. He quickly slips out of his coat and lays it on top of her. She smiles in her sleep and cuddles into his coat. He takes a piece of her hair and twirls it around his finger.
"Zero," Yuki says after class ends, "do you think Ichiru likes my sister?"
Zero looks over to his brother, who is desperately trying to wake Yuri up. He remembers what Ichiru said to him a week ago. 'Zero, I think I'm in love. I just met her, but I... I... I don't know. I want to be with her.'
"Heh, how should I know? Now hurry up. Classes will be switching soon." Zero replies, walking out the door.
"Oh, Zero." Yuki says, pouting as she runs out the door.
Ichiru sighs. Yuri's not waking up, no matter how hard he tries.
"Hmm... Okay." he says, picking her up. He walks out the door and brings her to the Headmaster's house area.
"Oh, did she fall asleep in class again?" Kaien asks as Ichiru walks in.
"Yeah..." Ichiru says with an apologetic smile. Headmaster Cross sighs.
"Ichiru?" Yuri says in her sleep. She tightens her grip on his coat that is still wrapped around her. Ichiru smiles slightly and carries her over to the couch. His eyelids suddenly feel heavy, and he lays on the couch, holding her close on top of him.
They both sleep together on the couch for a few hours, until they feel eyes staring at them. Slowly they open their eyes, and Yuri sits up. Feeling disoriented, they both look around and see that Yuki, Yumi, Zero, and Takuma were all staring at them.
"Wh-what are you guys doing!?" Yuri yells at them.
"We're just watching the lovebirds sleep together." Yumi says, smirking.
"Lovebirds? What are you talking about? We're just friends, right Ichiru?" Yuri says, smiling, patting Ichiru's head.
"Mm? Yeah.." he says, trying to smile.
'Friendzoned!' Everyone thinks.
"Well, I have to go," Ichiru says, standing up.
"Bye-bye!" Yuri says, smiling brightly at him. He smiles at her and walks out, heading to his dorm.
"Yuri, you're so dumb." Yumi says, sighing. Yuri looks at her sister, hurt.
"What makes you say that?" she pouts.
"It's obvious that you and Ichiru are in love." she says, standing up. She walks out with Takuma. Yuri looks at Yuki and Zero, and Yuki nods. Yuri stands up and runs to Ichiru's dorm. She walks in without knocking, and hears that Ichiru's in the shower.
Yuri lays on his bed, and curls up under the covers.
Ichiru stands under the warm, running water. He lathers the shampoo in his hair, and washes his body.
Yuri stares up at the ceiling, her mind clouded with confusion and thoughts of Ichiru.
Ichiru dries off and wraps the towel around his waist.
Yuri looks over towards the bathroom door as she hears the water turn off.
Ichiru walks out in just his towel, and he almost drops it when he sees Yuri.
"Wh-what are you doing in here!?" he asks, feeling embarrassed. He quickly grabs an old t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants. He goes into the bathroom as Yuri answers
"I wanted to talk to you."
"Couldn't you do it at a better time?" he asks her, walking out, now fully dressed.
"Well... Probably. I should go now." she says, standing up and walking towards the door.
"Wait-" Ichiru says, grabbing her wrist. She looks up at him with her usual look; a mix of amusement, defiance, and amazement. "You can stay now that you're here." he says, letting go of her wrist and sitting on his bed. She walks over to him and sits on his lap.
"Okay... What do you think of me?" Yuri asks, staring into his eyes. He blushes and looks away.
"Well, I think you're a really sweet girl, and the greatest best friend ever." he says, looking back at her. She smiles and lets out a sigh of relief.
"Everyone's been saying you love me, but I knew you didn't." she says, standing up. She kisses his cheek and skips out the door. "See you tomorrow!"
Ichiru flops back and stares at his ceiling. 'I can't tell her how I feel... She doesn't feel the same.' He closes his eyes and falls asleep.
Yuri jumps into her bed when she gets into her dorm room. 'What's this strange feeling...? Oh well! Tomorrow is the trip!' She closes her eyes and falls asleep.
So, chapter 1 is done! I hope it's good! Please review and let me know if you want more! :3
