AN: I just finished the Vampire Knight animes and love them dearly. If you like it please review.

Akemi's POV

Looking up at the school, it did seem rather big. I was going to have fun here. I was to see the Chairman about getting into the day class. The wind rustled my skirt and the scent of Autumn flowed through my long, silky black hair. My hair reached about an inch past my skirt.

After looking left and then right, I headed into the large gates of the Cross Academy.

Cross Kaien's POV

A knock sounded on my door. Who could that be? Zero hadn't been sociable since Yuuki left with Kaname senpai. Also, on that note, Yuuki hadn't planned on visiting for a while either.

"Come in," I said quietly; unsurely.

In stepped an enchanting young girl in a silver tanktop, covered by a loose black cardigan, and a light blue skirt. Her hair was black and seemed soft enough to make a cloud look rough. I looked into her eyes and for a moment couldn't look away. They were black. Pure black against the whites, making the whites almost shine.

"I'm here to see about entering the day class." Her voice was like the peeling of bells.

"The Day Class? Are you sure you aren't getting it mixed up with the Night Class?" She couldn't seriously not be a Vampire, right?

"Honestly, right now I don't care. I don't mean to sound rude but I am dirt tired, and it's getting late. Can I please have a dorm assigned to me and go?"

Apparently she was human if she were tired at this hour. I don't remember her ever applying though. I never remember getting a letter or anything. Maybe she was one of those few that didn't send a picture.

"What's your name, dear?"

"Akemi."

Akemi, Akemi. . . . . . nothing; no files.

"I don't have a room ready for you. I can't seem to find your application anywhere."

Akemi looked confused for a minute, then started digging into her cardigan.

"But, you sent me this." Akemi pulled out a Cross Academy envelope. It was unmistakably from here, with my signiture on the front. Her expression was tensed with worry. Poor girl. I couldn't even act funny around her as I did with my other students to lighten the mood. I sighed.

"Alright. You can have the only Day Class room available, which is Yuuki's old room, on one condition. " Akemi looked at me hopefully. "You become a prefect. The duties are simple and if you need help you can get it from Zero, the other prefect." She smiled, relieved.

"Not a problem, Chairman." I smiled.

"Call me Daddy." She smiled and laughed.

"Sure. Can I have the directions to this room?"

"Oh dear, I'd almost forgotten. Here-" I handed her a box and a sheet of paper, " - is you uniform, directions, and class schedule."

"Arigato (thanks)"

"Not a problem." I waved to her as she exited the room. This girl seemed to have the potential to get Zero out of that unhealthy depression. I only hope I'm right.

Akemi's POV

The door in front of me was the door to the room I would be staying at. Another young girl would be staying here, according to the sheet, and I doubt she was awake at this hour. It was an hour before she would be getting up to get ready for class. I quietly opened the door and shut it behind me.

The girl in the bed reminded me of- Stop! Stop right there. I can't think on my past anymore. I won't. I won't.

I hadn't brought anything with me. That wasn't very smart. Oh well, I guess I'll have to go on a 'everything's free shopping spree' later on. Yes, I hadn't brought anything, and that included money.

I laid down in the bed that was now mine and almost immediately succumbed to sleep.

***

I awoke to the sound of an alarm clock. Whoever invented the alarm clock should be dragged into town square and beaten. I sat up and my foul mood immediately vanished. Once I was up, I was a morning person, get me half-asleep and I'm the devil.

I turned to face the eyes I could feel drilling a hole in my face. She was wearing the look all girls looked at me with when they first met me; jelous. The jelousy was only there for a moment before being swept away by a kindness that made her look prettier. That was new, normally the jelousy always stayed under the surface, but with her she just seemed like she was trying to put me at ease.

"You must be new. I'm Wakaba, Sayori." She smiled at me warmly. I would've welcomed hostility. I didn't know how to handle this. I plastered on a smile I was sure would deceive her as it had countless others. Such as the easily charmed Chairman earlier this morning.

"Nice to meet you, Sayori-chan. I'm Akemi." Sayori looked at me strangely for not giving my full name as was custom when introducing yourself.

It was quiet as she pulled on her school uniform. I slowly took mine out of it's box.

"Oh no, black. That is not my color. It seems I'll have to switch to the Night Class."

"Akemi-chan, you can't just change a class because of uniform color." She laughed.

"Why not?" I mused aloud. If I feel like doing something, who's to stop me? Sayori gave me another strange look.

I pulled on the uniform and prefect band as quickly as I could. I was excited so I was hurrying. I had been so bored for so long that I needed a chance to stretch my legs. It was only until I was about to brush my teeth that I saw it was still thirty minutes before we had to leave. I spent ten minutes brushing my teeth. I started fidgetting and Sayori kept laughing at me.

"No need to be nervous. I'm sure you'll be just fine. Akemi-chan, if it gets too bad you can hang out with me, and when you get to do prefect things, you'll have Zero. He probably won't say anything helpful but he won't say anything mean either."

When it was time to go I stayed beside Sayori. We were still ten minutes early to our first class. I went to take my seat at the back.

"Akemi-chan?" It was Sayori's timid voice.

"Yes?"

"We have assigned seats."

"Does anyone sit here?"

"Well no, actually, but I'll have you know it's beside Ze-"

"This is fine, Sayori-chan. You worry too much."

Zero's POV

I really didn't feel like going to class today. I'd see the empty seat next to me and be reminded of Yuuki. Of course, Chairman Cross was starting to worry and is now demanding I come to my classes or be transfered to Night Class. That would be like admitting to being a Vampire, and the day I do that is the day I put a bullet through my head.

I walked quietly down the empty halls. Was I really this late? Normally the students would wait outside the room unti Yagari called the class to order. I entered through the back door in an attempt to come in unnoticed. The first thing I did was glance towards the front of the room. No Yagari; then why was everyone-

"Why the hell is everyone blocking my desk?" I said in a detached voice. That always seemed to work. Everyone looked up at me and glared like they did when I was interrupting their time with their precious Night students. Crap! That's what that crowd is for. Is that rat Kaname back?

I pulled out my anti-vampire weapon and help it in the crowd's direction.

"Move." They turned back to glare at me but backed down, some gasped, when they saw my gun. He thought he heard some guy say something like 'Geez, it's just a seat.'

In the middle of the crowd I caught a glimpse of the prefect band. Yuuki. Then the last guy moved and I froze. Who was that? I've never seen her before but I feel like I know her. But it isn't possible, I would have remembered someone that beautiful.

She smiled at me.

"You must be Zero." She said in a voice that completely disarmed you.

"How'd you know?" I tried my best to keep the indifference that I had held on to so desperately even when Yuuki was here in my voice.

"The prefect band." She gestured towards my left arm. I was suddenly intensely aware of all the daggers that were being stared into my back.

Yagari ran in just then.

"Alright everyone, take your seats."

Huh? How was it? Good, bad, so so? Feel free to Review. (Please)
