First ever crossover for me! Hope you enjoy! P.S: Do not own Vampire Knight or Elfen Lied.

Ever get that anonymous feeling that you're being watched? That's what you get for being cooped up in a lab for years. I tap my feet and shift every thirty seconds in the chair next to the door, waiting for Mr. Cross, the headmaster of my new school Cross Academy. Nana is hoping to get in despite her age, and Kota? Well, he's going to be left in charge of the house while Yuka, Nana, and I are at school. It sucks, mostly, since we can only break school so much, but it's cool all at once because people here don't know I'm a Diclonius. I wince at the thought of my horns, since they broke off. Trust me, horn regeneration is N-A-S-T-Y. The door opens and a girl walks in with a uniform. She smiles at us and walks over to the desk, pulling out flashcards and two folders. I have my guesses that she's the headmaster's daughter. I roll my eyes and cross my arms, Yuka sighing and smiling back at the girl. The girl sits down and opens the files, then pushes one away, it obviously Yuka's. I notice mine doesn't exist, so I drop my arms and slam them hard on the arms of the chair, trying to control my breathing so I don't go bonkers and decapitate everyone in the room. Nana sighs and walks over, patting my back and kneeling next to me.

The girl huffs and stands. "Great, I can't find another file!"

I stare at her. Nana smacks my back a spot one of my four vectors was hiding under and she slams into the wall across the room, nearly missing the window. I gulp and look at Yuka, who's raising a brow. "She hit a spot," I simply state, receiving a nod in reply.

The girl doesn't mind, which makes it easier for me, and shuffles through a variety of papers looking for my file. I tug on my cap nervously, feeling an itch between my snapped horns. Great, just great; when they're still bleeding to! I feel the top of my cap to feel the bleeding stage beginning once again. I bite my lip and squeeze my eyes, thinking hard about something to get my mind off. I think about a poem by Gary Soto called 'Looking Around, Believing' and try to remember the lines.

'Looking Around, Believing'

By Gary Soto

How strange that we can begin at any time

With two feet we get down the street

With a hand we undo the rose

With an eye we lift up the peach tree

And hold it up to the wind-white blossoms

At our feet. Like today. I started

In the yard with my daughter

With my wife poking at a potted geranium

And now I'm walking down the street

Amazed the sun is only so high

Just over the roof, and a child

Is singing through a rolled newspaper

And a terrier is leaping like a flea

And at the bakery, I pass, a palm

Like a suctioning starfish, is pressed

To the window. We're keeping busy-

This way, that way we're making shadows

Dang it…what were the last two lines? UGH! I grip my horns, only making the blood flow worse, and I hear a heavy slam of papers. I look up to see the girl, wide eyed. I feel at my head to find the cap off and my head a bleeding mess. I wince as the horns sting and the girl yanks open drawers to get a first aid kit, rushing over and working as best as she can to get the bleeding to stop. Sure, I wince here and there, but sooner or later, the pain stops. I feel at my horns to find bandages only on the cuts inside. I look up at the girl, who's just staring at me like I wasn't horned. I blink and blink, just not getting it.

"Uh," I start, "thanks…"

"Anytime!" she smiles. "So, where'd you get the horns? They're pretty with the pink hair."

I blush at the compliment. "I was born with them, and the pink hair, and…Yuka, can I take out these stupid lenses before my eyes start to itch?"

She simply nods, smiling, and I carefully dislodge the lenses out of my eyes. My red irises flicker in and out of the lids, gathering back the lost moisture, and I pocket the lenses, not sure why I was so insecure in the first place. Hide the set of horns; that's all I need to do. The eyes I can just say were a disfiguration or something and the hair I can just say I dyed it that way or yet another disfiguration. This girl knows about my horns now, so it's useless to just keep it from her.

"Huh, well, I guess you're not a vampire or sea monster or anything," the girl giggles.

I blink. I ran into a vampire once, but I just ripped it apart with my vectors and lived in the house I found it in for a bit. "Do you actually believe that stuff?"

She freezes. "W-Why you ask?"

It's obvious she's going through it. "Yuka, have you ever ran into a vampire?"

She thinks about it and nods. "It was just a pass by. You could tell."

Nana raises a brow. "Let me guess, you to Lucy?"

I smirk. "Let's just say it didn't live long."

The girl frowns. "Uh…"

"Don't worry," I reinsure, "we won't kill any vampires here. Well, as long as they don't kill anyone."

She gulps. "Uh…not all vampires kill necessarily…"

"We know," Nana squeaks. "We'll just beat up the vampires that break rules!"

I nod in agreement. "But kill any Level E's. I did some research and you can't believe what you can get from being a Diclonius!"

She raises a brow. "Di-clo-ni-us?"

I nod. "A Diclonius is what I'm called. So is Nana here," I point to Nana who waves at the girl in turn and the girl faces me once again. "We have natural: horns, pink hair, red or pink eyes, and," I point to my back, "vectors."

"Vectors are," she raises a brow.

"Vectors-Invisible arms of a Diclonius that vary in length and number. Highest number being twenty-six so far and length I believe is 11ft," Nana informs.

The girl blinks. "They were near four yards?"

I nod. "That's not the Queen sadly. The queen has four vectors that reach up to 2meters."

The girl shifts her little brown bob to one side, her brown eyes, blinking and her fifteen-year-old self swaying slightly. "Who's the Queen? Is she nice? What did she do to become the Queen?"

Quite the friendly question mark, huh? I chuckle. "The Queen is the origin of all Diclonius. The Queen is nice when she wants to be-"

"Oh don't be full of you," Nana mutters.

I chuckle and the girl smiles warmly. "Huh, that has to be hard to be the queen."

I nod. "I'm the one a certain facility wants to kill the most."

"Huh?"

Yuka sighs and I nod at her for her to take a turn. "There's this facility that captures Diclonius and performs tests or kills them off the bat. They had her, Lucy, for a while until she escaped and met Kota, a friend of ours, and me, Yuka. We found her on the beach one day."

"That's what you get for drifting," I mutter. "Plus, they shot me in the head."

"Ouch!" the girl cringes, sitting down in a chair.

"Well, I lived of course," I chuckle. "What happened was that when my head was hit, I went a bit 'off the block' and turned into someone else completely. All I said was 'Nyuu', so that's what they named my double personality."

Yuka resumes the story. "Anyways, we hid her from these police men who apparently were associated with the facility and eventually found this girl, Mayu, who ran from her home because of certain things," she censors thankfully. "Later, Nana here was sent to kill Lucy, but of course-"

"Lucy won," Nana mutters, unscrewing one of her plastic arms. "I have two vectors that are longer, but more beats longer I guess…"

The girl blinks and turns to me. "Did you have to cut off her-"

"Arms and legs," I finish, "and yeah. I wanted to live and…it's complicated."

Well, saying that vectors don't come out in a state of pain will NOT be good, even if she is trustworthy. I mean, you never know if anyone's eavesdropping, and that'd just be too much. The girl nods and Yuka smiles. "What about you?"

The girl sighs. "I don't remember anything before I was five. I don't remember any parents, home, or siblings, and I was attacked by a Level E vampire. One of the vampires here saved me and took me here. The headmaster adopted me like I was his own and four years ago-"

The door opens and a boy with silver hair comes through. "Yuki, where's the headmaster?"

Yuki blinks. "Uh…hi…Zero…" she looks at us. "Um…why would you think I would…know per chance?"

"Just answer," he grumbles.

"He's by the gate," I intervene. "He's should be walking here by now." Zero stares at me, then I remember my cap was off. "This is CR*P!"

I cover my horns with my left arm and snatch the hat from the floor, stretching it over my horns and holding it in my hands slumping and bringing my feet in front of any empty eat in front of me. Zero looks at Yuka and then at Nana, who has her 'dad's old tie around her horns. He faces me and raises a brow. He gently puts a hand in his pocket, staring at me as if wondering if I was a vampire or not.

"No, I'm not vampire," I grumble. "I'm something different."

He raises a brow and Yuki and Yuka sit together, talking about if they should just explain here or try and get me to explain so I'd be more comfortable with it. Yeah, like that'd help. His light purple eyes won't lift from my pink bob of shoulder-length hair, making me slightly uncomfortable. Nana sits next to me again and pats my back, hitting the new spot the same vector she hit hid under and it punched her upright the face, breaking her nose.

"OW!" she screams.

"You keep hitting my vectors!" I hiss, trying to only let her hear.

"What's a vector?" Zero wonders, crossing his arm.

Man is he suspicious. I huff and snap my face to meet his. "A vector is an invisible arm that belongs to a race called Diclonius that varies in length and number!"

I turn back to Nana and realize that Yuki left the first aid kit. I pick it up and start treating it, first snapping it back with my own fingers. I'm stuck trying to stop the bleeding when a blonde, mid-aged man walks in, smiling and wearing some green poncho-scarf on his shoulders. He stares at me, which I can't really blame him, and he blinks, walking back to his seat. He sits down and I observe his face and use what Diclonius I am to see if he's a vampire. No, but, he has traces of vampire on him. So does Zero.

"What's with the vampire traces?" I ask, removing the blood-soaked cloth from Nana's nose.

The headmaster smiles and shuts his eyes, still smiling. "Are you in a vampire hunter family?"

I shake my head. "I just know them."

He opens his eyes and raises a brow at me. I feel my head again and curse something that should get my mouth washed when I realized I dropped the cap when I went to help Nana. CURSE HELPING PEOPLE! I go for the cap and Zero snatches it, making me use a vector to snap his right wrist with the hat and snatch it quickly with another vector, plopping it above my horns on its side. I glance at Yuka to find her head in her hands, and Yuki smiling nervously. I guess she's not mad at me, but she's probably gathering that Zero's going to munch my head off. Yeah, like I'm letting that happen. Zero snaps his wrist to the correct position the best he can and I roll my eyes, standing up and grabbing his wrist, rolling it a bit before pushing it into the arm. I let go and he flexes his fingers, staring at it blankly.

"Fixed," I state, facing the headmaster. "Now, can you explain this whole vampire-human school thing to me? I don't think it was in the brochure."

I swear I saw Zero crack a small grin. The headmaster chuckles and stands up, doing odd poses that I chose to ignore, saving Nana the trouble and covering her eyes. "My dream goal is to end the dark and bloody past of vampires and humans! To accomplish that, I made Cross Academy! Cross Academy has two classes, Night and Day. The Day class students, so far, are human. The Night class students, so far, are just vampires. During the Day, the humans take their lessons and then switch with the Night Class for the Night Classes to have their lessons! Of course, we have guardians," he gestures at Zero and Yuki, "to make sure the secret stays safe!"

I blink. "To summarize, Night Class students are the vamps."

He freezes and drops his head like I just butchered all his fun. "That's the basic point."

I blink and look at the white sash on Zero's arm, a similar one on Yuki's. "I thought that was just part of the uniforms. Anyways, by the looks of things, Zero is useless."

"HOLD ON!" Zero growls menacingly towards me, furious. "I'm not the useless one!"

"Hey!" Yuki stands.

I shake my head. "Well, whoever is the useless is up to you, but the point is only one has any use! Don't you think you should get Yuka or Nana to at least help out?" Yuki smiles at the idea, but he grin on the headmaster's face nearly gives me a heart attack. "NO THANK YOU! Helping already bit my head off before, and I just got my head back!"

"You said it yourself," Zero mutters.

I slam his side with a vector. "I'd shut up if I was you."

He pulls out a gun, one with 'Bloody Rose' on the side. "Do that again, and you're dead."

I blink and push the gun away with a vector gently. "Calm down, snow top," I grumble. "I have an excuse for being violent, but I'd like to hear yours."

Yuka twiddles her thumbs and looks up at the headmaster. "Sorry, her kind has short tempers."

"She has the shortest because she's the original," Nana whispers.

Zero pulls the trigger and barely misses me. "HEY!" I scold. "They're talking about Diclonius here!"

"I don't believe that SH*T," he growls.

"Well, believe it," I snarl, "because vampires don't have horns and pink hair with eyes!"

I grip the gun tighter with the vector and I hear a slight groan escape it. Yuki grows wide eyes and hits the ground, not wanting to be hit by anything whether it hurt humans or not. I sigh and release it. I sit back down and Nana sits in front of my legs, humming 'Mockingbird' (not the one by Eminem). Zero rolls his eyes and looks back at the Chairman. The Chairman clears his throat and I stop humming, everyone staring at him.

"Yuki, Zero, after you clear up the mess at the Moon dormitories, can you lead these two to their dorms?"

Nana's jaw drops low, making it look like it's disconnected. "T-Two of us, you said?"

The Chairman sighs. "You're a bit too young sadly."

Nana's head drops and I stand up quick, pushing the hat against my horns. "I'll get her home, Yuk-"

"Oh no, you're staying," Yuka snaps.

"What? No!"

"Come on, what is the big deal?"

"The big deal is that I'd…" I glance around and walk over, leaning next to her ear, "like to go home because you forced me to do this in the first d*m place!"

I lean back and Yuka sighs, shaking her head. "Just please, Lucy."

I sigh. Too bad I can't use my vectors. "Oh fine, but I swear the next opportunity to go home, I'm taking it, got it?"

She nods and leads Nana out. I lean against the right wall of the door, waiting for Zero and Yuki. Zero storms out, Yuki bidding me to follow and I do so, fidgeting with the cap so it's low on my head. The blood is warm and sticky, getting thicker and thicker due to the enclosed space with my horns. I feel the blood bubbling on the surface of my horns and wince as the bones start to heal up once again. Of course they don't notice, and I'm sort of glad they don't I feel blood trickle down and splatter against my shoulder, making me stop and stare at a strand of pink hair now red. I curse under my breath and start shoving my hair into the cap, taking off the cap in annoyance and blood pouring down my face, splattering on my uniform, and the feeling of a sick stomach coming along. I cover my mouth with my left hand to prevent from puking and Yuki and Zero just continue, thinking I'm behind them or just not caring. My stomach lurches up and I puke in my mouth, the stomach twisting horribly. I scrunch my eyes tight and think multiple curses. Does this happen every time I go to school? I bet my instincts just want me to get out, and this time I agree. Yet, I really don't want to be sick in order to get out, that's too much medication (in my cases). I hear a door open and start to make my way forward, wincing as my horns pulsate. Great, puke and blood? That's just F*CKING great! I feel a hand on my shoulder and shrug it off, my stomach NOT reacting well. I puke more in my mouth, giving myself the urge to open my mouth and get it out. The person starts guiding me towards the door, my right hand over both horns for longer than I realize. The door opens.

"Kiryu, I think you forgot someone," a deep, calm voice rings next to me.

A momentary silence, save for the rumbling churning my stomach roars out. That's when Yuki sees my sick expression. "Oh, Lucy, are you alright?"

I shake my head, both hands in fists from annoyance. The set of hands once guiding me released my greenish body, Yuki's hands patting my back and clutching my wrist now in place. I follow her without protest, and my stomach lurches once more. My eyes bulge open, my lips pressing harder against each other to prevent from letting a downpour of vomit come into any view. I wouldn't mind if it came into Zero's, but Yuki and the other were nice, so I decide to let Zero have some of my rare mercy. I turn to a male brunette with dark brown-crimson eyes. He's pale (who isn't?) and wearing a reverse colored uniform from Zero's. He smiles at Yuki, making my stomach lurching more (I'm F*CKING serious). Zero rolls his eyes at the 'love-dove' scene (that's what Nyuu calls it) and faces me, a small smile on his lips. I give him a challenging glare and move to remove my fist from my mouth, but he just pins it there. I roll my red-pink orbs and start turning, when I see the mark on Zero's neck. Why does it look so familiar…?

Fist Chapter of my first crossover of my something some day on fan fiction of my (insert age here) of my life. This (insert cuss here) rocks!
