CHAPTER 1: MEETNGS
DISCLAIMER: I ONLY OWN MY CHARACTER REOKA AND NOTHING ELSE.
Reoka looked up at the building known as Cross Academy. She sighed as she straightened herself up then walked fore ward and entered through the massive iron gate that guarded the school for that of humans and…vampires. The classes were known as the Day Class for humans and the Night Class for the vampires. She herself was a vampire.
"So you're finally here are you?" A voice asked.
She looked up, blinking her bright green eyes up at the woman that stood just inside the gate. She quickly put on her faked smile and then pushed some of her black hair behind her ear. "Yes." She said as she dropped her hands to her sides. "It seems I'm quite late and I apologize for that.." She paused in asking for the woman's name.
"Seriene." The woman said quickly and then sighed. "Follow me. You can explain it to Cross."
Reoka just nodded and let the mile fall from her lip as Seriene turned away from her. 'Hmmm…don't like the feel of this one..' She thought as she watched each step the woman took. 'Smells too much of..cousin..' She growled on the inside at the thought of him.
"Well. Here you are miss." Seriene said as she bowed to Reoka and stretched her right arm out towards the door that would lead to Kaien Cross' office. Reoka said a quick thanks then walked in through the door.
A massive desk sat in the middle with a blonde haired man sitting at it. He seemed to be fighting with a man that had silver hair. She leaned against the door frame and waited for the two to finish up.
"I don't want to babysit another of those damn leeches." The silver haired man growled at the Chairman. "I'd rather kill them remember, or have you forgotten that?"
"Zero..please just hear me out.." The chairman seemed to whine. This caused her to raise an eyebrow in confusion and surprise that they still haven't sensed her presence. "You only have to make sure she stays safe from the..others…"
"Hmm…" Growled the one she assumed was Zero. "Why…what could they possibly do to her? After all she is a damn pureblood. They will all swoon for her attention." She tilted her head a bit as she noticed his hands clench into fists. "..just like she is now.." He whispered this last part causing complete silence from him and the chairman.
The chairman then sighed. "Please Zero.." He asked quietly. "She's different from them…" Then he stopped talking abruptly and looked up started.
Reoka's eyes widened as she registered that they finally caught on to her presence. She took a step back and then quickly collected herself and lightly bowed to the two men. "I am Reoka Kuran. I apologize for not allowing myself to be known.."
"No! No! My dear It is I who must apologize." The chairman say a bit to happily as he stood and quickly walked up to her. "I should have known the moment you stepped onto the grounds of the school."
Her eyes quickly shifted to the one known as Zero who still hadn't turned to look at her. She sighed as she looked back at the chairman with a smile. "I'm very happy to be here Sir and I did over hear some of your conversation." She looked him straight in the eye with her fake smile back into place. "I have no need for a bodyguard. I will be fine on my own. Thank you though." She quickly added.
He seemed at a loss for words for a moment before collecting himself and throwing his hand up to scratch his head in embarrassment. "My dear Kuran, please let Zero keep.."
"No." Reoka cut him off roughly even though her smile was still in place. "I shall be safe while on the grounds of Cross Academy and I will take my place as the Dorm President of the Night Class."
He finally looked at Zero with a pleading look that only connected with the man's back then turned back to her as he wasn't about to help the chairman in anyway.
"Ok..if you're sure.." He started to say still unsure himself. "Then at least let Zero show you to the Moon Dorm."
Reoka nodded as she bowed to him again before turning and leaving. "Thank you again."
"Zero.." The chairman started as he turned to the man. "Please at least take her to the Dorm and help carry her stuff."
Zero just turned and looked at the chairman before nodding. "Fine.." He then walked out the door to follow the girl.
The Chairman sighed as he fell back into his seat. "So much has changed…" He said aloud to himself. "How I miss you my dear Yuki…"
Reoka stood staring once again at the beautiful sun in the sky above her. "It really is beautiful.." She whispered to herself as she raised her hand and covered her eyes. She then heard footsteps behind her and turned to see Zero step out into the light. His eyes lifted to look at her and she noticed his eyes to be a beautiful light purple. She smiled gently at him. This one not faked. "Thank you." She said as she knelt to pick up her two bags only to be stopped as his hands grabbed hers.
"I'll get them." He said with no emotion as he took his hands from hers and leaned over to take her bags. "This way."
She just nodded then followed behind him taking in her surroundings. Girls and boys were running from one building to the next with books in hand trying to make it to their classes on time. She smiled at this. 'O how I wish life could be soo simple for me.' She thought with a pang of jealousy. But because of her stupid cousin..excuse her..cousins he wouldn't have that ever again. They of course expected her to do as she was told. Just as her father had. No. This time she chose her own path. Her own way. It started with Cross Academy.
"Here you are." Zero's voice pulled her from her thoughts as she stopped right behind him. She almost ran into him while in her thoughts. "Anything else you want?" He growled as he turned toward her. She looked up to meet his eyes face to face for the second time. His expression seemed to waver for a moment looking at her as if she seemed familiar. She couldn't quite read it before his blank slate returned and he started to walk past her as she didn't say anything. She quickly reached out her arm to grab his as he attempted to pass her.
"I'm not like her you know?" She whispered quietly as he came to a stop and turned his eyes on her face only to see her hair blown acrossed her face to cover it from his eyes. "I know how you hate me because of what I am and because of my..name. But I'm truly nothing like either of them." She continued. "I.."
"Reoka..is that you!" A voice ring out through the day air. She quickly thought for a second then sighed as she let go of his arm just as Aido came into view. "It is you.." He skipped over with a huge smile on his face. "O and Zero too huh?" He asked questioningly.
Reoka stepped in front of Zero blocking Aido's view as best he could since Zero towered above her. She pulled on her smile again as she looked at Aido. "He was showing me the way here." She quickly turned towards Zero now and bowed lightly at him. "Thank you Zero."
Zero just stared at her. 'I'm not like her you know..' Her words floated through his head before he noticed they were staring at him. Aido a bit confused and Reoka just smiling at him sweetly. Not that fake crap she put on for the others. He shook his head then nodded at Reoka before turning and quickly leaving.
She sighed as he turned and left. She turned back around to see Aido smiling at her. "Well..shall we?" He asked picking up her bags and turning his back to her as he talked and walked.
She of course wasn't listening as she followed behind him. She stopped at the entrance as she turned back to look out upon the school grounds once again. 'Welcome to your new home…' She growled to herself as she turned and finally stepped through the doors.
WELL R&R PLEASE. HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!
