A/N: OOOMMMMGGGGG! It's been like forever since I updated. Yeahhh uhhh really sorry about that I'm such a klutz you can ask my friends they would totally agree. So if you didn't know I quit fanfiction like when I stopped updating cause I just didn't feel anything for it anymore. And yeah I did feel bad for leaving my other stories unfinished, but I was totally done with writing so I quit. Luckily for you one of my classmates persuaded me (more like pestered) every first period that I should keep writing. So for everyone that was dying to see me update again you guys should go write Michiru-pyon a letter of thanks lololol. Anyway it's good to be back. Love you guys! 3

Warning: Yaoi and lemons( not know, but later :] )

Summary: As you smash your way through the illusions I have carefully and painfully set up through the course of my life, I realize that you have broken me down...

Chapter 1: Cracks

Kaname looked disdainfully at the gloomy building in front of him. So here he was, a vampire prince at a high school full of normal humans. They weren't even aristocrats! This was definitely a joke...

"This is absolutely humiliating..." Kaname muttered. A emerald eyed blond haired boy patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it Kaname, just think about how much free time we'll have. It'll be a piece of cake here. No homework or studying it'll be great!" Kaname gave a small smile, he really appreciated his best friend's efforts in trying to cheer him up, but school was always easy for him no matter where he went. He actually just went to class to be polite... So how could this school year be different from any other one?

"It's a new school year Ichiru... I can't wait to graduate from this damn place." Zero Kiryuu trudged through the hallway by himself while a group of girls shyly stared at him from afar.

"Hey, it's that Kiryuu kid."

" He's pretty cute but he's always talking to himself... It's pretty weird."

"Dude, I know like this one time..."

Zero stopped walking and glared at the group of girls. "You bitches got something to say?"

The girls squeaked and scurried away.

"It's ok Ich I promise I won't let anything happen to you again... I swear." With that he walked off to class.

"Hiya!" Kaname and Takuma stopped in their tracks and turned around to face a brown haired girl with doe like eyes.

"My name's Yuuki Cross. My stepfather is headmaster of Cross High and he humbly requests that I show you around." Takuma put on his signature charming smile and thanked Yuuki. "Yuuki-chan, Kaname and I heard from headmaster Cross that 2 people would be showing us around."

Yuuki giggled as Takuma's emerald orbs turned into a ominous forest green. "Well Zero is really weird, so like I let him like do his own thing. Rumor has it he lives with a vampire..." Kaname and Takuma perked up at the mention of vampire. Kaname chuckled, "How interesting... Can you tell us more?"

Yuuki nodded. "How about over lunch?"

"Right here is fine," Takuma butted in, "It's actually quite nice outside today." Yuuki pouted.

"Well here's what I know..."

"Lunch..."Zero sighed, "It's my least favorite part of the day." Zero grabbed his backpack. "Let's go sit under the cherry blossom trees today Ichiru. I heard they're beautiful when they're in bloom." As Zero walked down the hall he held his breath. He couldn't let himself be tempted in the least, but as a girl brushed past him he took a breath. He could smell it. The sweet scent of... blood.

Takuma smiled as cherry blossoms fell around him in a flurry of pink. "Aren't the blossoms beautiful Kaname?" Kaname didn't even look at him... Something seemed to be bothering him.

"Takuma, about Zero. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Takuma smirked.

"Of course. He's probably a level E so we'll have to kill him right?"

"Well about him being a level E maybe, but we can't kill him yet. Not until we get to the bottom of this. There might be another pureblood on the loose... How tedious."

Takuma looked at Kaname in confusion. "Can't we just kill him? The Association wouldn't mind and you could just put IT out of ITS misery..."

"Enough Takuma... That's enough."

"I don't get it you don't even know him? Is this really the time to feel sympathy?" Takuma suddenly felt the aura around Kaname darken and trees around them started snapping in half. He instantly knelt down as he recognized the killer aura. "Please forgive me Kaname-sama I didn't mean to offend your opinion..." When he looked up Kaname was already gone and tears started forming in his eyes.

"Why can't you see I'm right here? Why can't you recognize my feelings? Why can't you see I love you..."

"Zero! Zero? Hello?" Zero rolled his eyes. Why was Yuuki so loud?

"Ichiru, I don't get girls. They are annoying to say the least." Yuuki looked at Zero in puzzlement.

"Zero, who are you talking to?" Zero sighed. "My twin brother obviously." Why didn't people understand that Ichiru was always by his side?

"But Zero," Yuuki tried reasoning, "there's no one..." Before she could finish her sentence she noticed in horror how Zero's eyes paled down into a translucent purple. "Never mind... just forget I said anything..." "Well if you have nothing to say, I'm going home. Excuse me," Zero said coldly.

Yuuki furiously shook her head. "No Zero! I swear I didn't mean to hurt you!" She cried," Maybe we can talk this out. Get to know each other better. Ever since you showed up you've been keeping to yourself! I know it's really hard to accept, but your f..." Zero glared at Yuuki with two purple flaming orbs. Yuuki shrank back a bit, but her brown muddy eyes tried to return the same glare. As time passed Yuuki thought she might have finally gotten through to Zero, but that thought was crushed as Zero bolted for the door and left.

"Sorry for trying to force reality onto you Zero...but someday, someone will shatter the illusions you try so hard to create, that you will just break down..."

Zero ran and ran and ran. "What the hell," he mentally cursed, "What does she know about me? No one knows anything about me!" Then he suddenly ran into someone.

"What the fuck! Watch where you're going," shouted Zero.

"On the contrary, it is you who ran into me... I should be the one demanding you for an apology. But since I'm a nice guy I won't," a haughty voice replied .

"You bastard! Who do you think you are?" Zero growled and stared at the chocolate haired man. He was a bit taller then Zero and he had snow white skin with wine colored eyes that were tinted with a bit of red wine. Anyone would have swooned in his presence, but for Zero it was definitely not happening.

"I'm Kaname Kuran pureblood prince, but the real question isn't who I am. The real question is "Who are you"?" Zero suddenly felt a powerful presence, a powerful urge to bow down to Kaname, and a powerful urge to serve the prince. Kaname smirked. "He's no different from the other level E fools I have met Maybe I should forget about him like Takuma said..." But just as this thought was running through his mind Zero did the inthinkable. Zero Kiryuu slapped Kaname Kuran in the face. Kaname touched the red stinging marks on his face as Zero shouted at him.

"I don't know who the hell you are, but stay away from me and my brother or I swear I'll kill you."

And then he ran away from Kaname as fast as he could run. He ran the direction completely opposite from the man not knowing the prince could have easily caught up to him. But there was just a single thought embedding itself into his mind.

"Why does his blood smell so unimaginably good? It's something I would want to sink my fangs into."

A/N: Woah sooo intense right? And yeah I did this all for Britteny cause she sucks nahh I'm just kidding lol. Anyway what did you guys think? Can't wait for the next chapter right? And I'm really sorry I haven't updated anything and I'm probably well known for writing one chapter and leaving it... Ughh I'll start updating more of those chapters soon I promise .! I just don't know what to update so if you have a certain story of mine that you're absolutely dying to read the end of message me or something I'll work on it for sure *pinky promises* By the way anyone a beta?
