This is my first fan fiction. I hope at least one person likes it, I know it's not the best start but my main ideas for the story are later on so I'm trying to fill in the gaps and explain a few things so it will make sense. On with the story XD.

"A house is made of bricks and beams; a home is made of hopes and dreams"

Yuki's P.O.V

It's a place I always went to think, and a place I wouldn't see for a while. The small house in the woods by my house was my only refuge from my parent's busy life. My old babysitter lived here, but she hasn't come back in years. Emi Takahashi was like a big sister to me and I could always count on having her to talk to, but not anymore. 2 years ago she decided to go back to her family because her mother was sick and couldn't care for them anymore. Emi stayed with her family to support them financially because her siblings were still in school and couldn't afford enough food or pay the bills.

After she left, I always came down to her house when I needed time to myself. My parents had helped with funding a new class at the prestigious Cross Academy, a night class for the more advanced students. I, and my brother Kaname, had taken the tests to see if we could get in this class last week. We got the results back an hour ago, my brother was accepted, I was not. I tried really hard for that test and now I feel like I let my parents down.

I picked up the photo frame that sat on the cabinet in the living room and sighed. 'I really wish Emi was here', I thought for the thousandth time since she had left. The photo was of her last day here, we were both sitting in the garden and I was holding her like I never wanted to let go. Emi was a beautiful young woman of 17. Her dark brown hair reached the middle of her back and the sun shone off the odd natural red and silver streaks in it. Her eyes were a brilliant green and if I looked close enough I could see flecks of turquoise and silver. She was wearing her favourite green dress; a gift I had given her for her birthday, and looked like she didn't want to let go of me either. Emi was a brilliant mind and had a scholarship that got her into Cross Academy. She skipped two grades and finished high school at 16. Her family and mine were good friends so she lived with us and also worked for my parents. She was the carer for Kaname and I, looking after us whenever our parents were busy, and she home schooled us. But more importantly, Emi was my role model, my big sister and my best friend; she was the only one I could confide in.

I heard my brother calling me for dinner and put down the photo. Walking out I took in everything around me, because tomorrow I would be leaving, going to the same school she did.

Zero's P.O.V

I can't believe he did this to me! We're leaving for Cross Academy tomorrow and Ichiru just decided to hide all my underwear. I woke up with him standing over my bed and looking very smug and I couldn't figure out why until I started packing.

I barged into his room without knocking and shouted, "Ichiru, where'd you put 'em." Ichiru looked up from packing his own suitcase with the same smug look and merriment dancing in his eyes.

"Watcha talkin' 'bout Zero?" he asked, trying not to laugh.

"You know very well what I'm talking about Ichiru" I was not in the mood for his games today.

Ichiru clicked his tongue and shook his head while walking over to me "Zero, Zero," he clapped a hand on my shoulder, "you are so cute when you're annoyed." I shook his hand off and glared at him, he just laughed. "OK, OK" he said walking to his closet. "Messin' with you is only fun for a little while" he tossed a plastic bag at me that contained my missing underwear. "You're never gonna get a girlfriend with that attitude ya know" I just scowled at him and left the room.

I continued to pack my things and thought about my new school. The only reason I was going there was because my parents knew the Chairman of the school, I knew him too. Kaien Cross, an eccentric man, if there ever was one. Although I haven't seen him in years, I knew I was still dreading meeting him. I never could stand the man, even as a child. With my suitcase packed all I could do was think about going to a new school tomorrow. Classes didn't start for another week but everyone was going there early so they could get used to the routine. Sitting on my bed, I just knew something bad was going to happen tomorrow.

Just so you know, I wrote Zero's part in the middle of an all nighter with my friends so I wasn't thinking straight. But I liked it so I kept it. I'm gonna try and write longer chapters, tell me what you think.
