This is one of the stories I transferred over from my other website. (visit my profile for full details) You see, OCxCharacter pairings were fairly popular among their fanfiction stories and it was common for one to write a detailed profile for their OC before starting the story itself. Now I'm not the kind of person who's into all that 'vampaia' stuff when it comes to stories, but I just loved this series. This is a story of the Vampire Knight manga where I will be using the character, Ichijo, as the OC's love interest. Read on for more info!

Nocturnal Knight Frame

OC Name: Akane Sugiura
(pronounced Ah-ka-nay Sooh-geer-ra)

Age: 17-18

Hair Style: Clipped up at the back with short bangs bordering the face

Hair colour: Black
Eye colour: Yellow
(like 'eye of the tiger' yellow xD)

Background:

She is regular Day Class student from Cross Academy; that means she's human.
My personality sometimes marks me as one of the hyper ones, but I am often misunderstood for that.

She has a passion for Photography, and tends to laugh at camera facts like 'vampires don't show up on film' because she usually doesn't take those kinds of myths seriously...
(this myth was part of what inspired me to make the OC this way!)
Her best friend is Shindo, a shy girl who she's known from my first day at Cross Academy.
A love interest? Well, she tries to steer clear of distractions like that so she can concentrate on her central priorities; studying, Shindo, and photography!
Unfortunately for her, there is one such student from the Night Class that has become a perfect example of the distractions she's been trying to avoid...

The story will be based on the Manga COMPLETELY! So I hope manga AND anime fans will enjoy it. :) Especially to the fans who haven't read the manga yet. But beware, there will be MAJOR spoilers!

So, about the 'best friend'. Remember Chapter 2 of the manga or Episode 2 of the anime?
Her name was revealed to be 'Shindo' by some day class students in chapter 17 of the manga and I thought she'd be a great character to include in my story!

Now I know that the poll's winning vote was a tie between a story for either Final Fantasy X and Naruto, don't worry I haven't forgotten! But until at least one of those two are one vote higher than the other, I'll be working on the runner-up, which is THIS one!

As I get started on the first few chapters of this one, I hope you'll find the time to read them all. ^-^

A Gift From Home (part 1)

Meet Akane Sugiura, a Comprehensive Year One day class student at the private boarding school, Cross Academy. It is early morning on St Valentine's Day when she recieves a package delivered to her from her family outside school, and it is something that has satisfied her interest. But has she discovered another certain interest from the other side of the moon dormitory's walls?

***

It was early morning, and all this time since coming to Cross Academy, I never thought it possible for myself to be sitting on the bed inside my dorm room in possession of this thing.
"I don't believe it, a Polaroid!" I pulled the wrapped object out of the package that had been delivered to me and tore away the bubble-wrap and sticky-tape that enclosed it. Then I closely examined it with my eyes and hands. "S-simply amazing!" was all I could say.
"What is?"
I shoved the camera back into the box of foam pellets and turned my head to where the voice had coming from.
"Oh, Shindo, it's you." I said, relieved. "My present finally came in, they even included some film."
She walked over from the door where she had entered and came beside me. "You mean, from your family?"
She leaned forward to take a closer look. I held it up for her to see.
"It's a rare model." I said. "Mostly because it's an old one, but I'm having trouble getting my head around how they were able to afford such a thing! Let alone find one."
"Oh, I must be very rare then!" She tried to smile understandingly, but I found it unconvincing.

The Polaroid I had in my hand was from the vintage series of Polaroid cameras, of course, Shindo and everyone else I've met had no clue what I meant whenever I mentioned things like that.

"Anyway, let's put it to good use now. You know, since today's meant to be a happy occasion for everybody." I loaded the film using my expert skills in camera-handling.
"Mm." Shindo nodded. "Hey, Akane."
As I closed the camera's film compartment, I glanced at her. "Huh?"
"Speaking of cameras, have you heard of the charm involved with camera-phones?"
"Camera-phones?" I frowned, I thought I knew every myth to photography in history, but I never heard such involving phone cameras. "No, what sort of charm?"
She grinned and giggled slightly. "I'd think someone like you would know about it."
I stood up, holding my new camera, and pouted. "Unfortunately I don't! Now, tell me what this silly phone-charm is all about and I'll find a way to prove it wrong. As I do with all camera myths!"
"You're not wrong there, it is kind of silly." She cleared her throat. "They say that if you take a picture of the person you like and set it as your wallpaper, and nobody finds out for three weeks…then your dream of the two of you being together will finally come true."
I stared at her as I mulled over this for a moment. Today was Valentine's Day, almost everyone would be trying out their luck over this new charm.

"Akane, since it's Valentine's, and since you always find a way to prove such camera myths wrong." She grinned sheepishly. "Are you thinking of proving it by using it on Senior I-"
"Now, now Shindo just what are you trying to get at here?" I smiled awkwardly and waved my hand in her direction. "Just why would I need to try my luck at it when there'll be loads of other people in the school who I can ask about it from a day like today?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that since it is Valentine's Day, other people in the school will be trying out this new phone-charm." I made my way over to the door. "Well then, we both know how enthusiastic the day class girls are whenever this occasion comes around." I spun around and snapped a quick picture of her standing there. "Let's capture the looks on their faces when they're turned away by the student councillors."
I pulled out the picture that printed itself out of my camera and chuckled at it while Shindo gasped, not knowing whether to be mad at me for taking the picture, or surprised by my intention of capturing the day class students' upset faces on Valentine's.

Then as I began to take a step out the door, I asked her "You coming or what?"

.....

"Good grief." I said. "It's only early morning yet look how many girls are already here."
Nearly every day class female in the school was waiting outside the wall and the gates that separated them from the night class dorms.
"Good morning, Shindo, Akane." called a girl holding a small wrapped gift box.
I was hiding the camera behind my back. "Morning." We both replied.
"Shindo, can I borrow you for a moment? I'm going to need your help with something."
Shindo glanced at me, I nodded and off she went, allowing her to leave me to my carry out my 'camera-testing plans' alone.

*BEBEEEEEEEEEEEEP*

What the-! Was that a whistle?! I glanced around and noticed Student Councillor, Yuki Cross standing on the wall, attempting to keep the girls in order from up there.
"Day class students, your lessons are about to start!" she instructed, "Return to your classrooms immediately!"
Her face became an expression of shock as she turned to notice something. "Hey, you!"
I glanced at where she was looking and noticed Shindo, sitting on the shoulders of another girl, trying to pass a gift box over the wall.
"I'm only trying to pass them the chocolates." She said as she struggled to keep her balance.
"Stop trying to scale the wall!" Yuki shouted.
Before too long the girl beneath her lost control and Shindo, losing balance, began to fall backwards.
"KYAH!"
"Oh no!" I dashed forward, shoving through the crowd.
"Look out!" exclaimed Yuki.
Just as I arrived on the other side of the gasping crowd I witnessed Shindo fall only to be caught by the other Student Councillor, Zero Kiriyu.
"Th-thank you, Kiriyu." She said hesitantly as he set her down on the ground.
"Great catch, Zero!" shouted Yuki from on top of the wall.
"(Well didn't HE just appear out of thin air?)" I thought. "(Oh darn! I should've taken a shot of that!)"
Zero looked at Shindo, with those scary-glary eyes he had, and said "You've been told before…"

She flinched back slightly before he turned to face the rest of the watching crowd. "The night class punks cannot leave the moon dormitory during the day. If you have something you wish to pass to them, please leave it till the evening." That's when his face got scarier-glarier. "And if you get too excited about the whole thing, be forewarned that the school might just have to put a stop to all the events you have planned for today."

And just when I was beginning to consider rewarding him for saving my best friend. "Some hero you are…" I muttered quietly.
As the girls were all leaving by his order, I forgot all about my 'camera-testing plans' and I ran to Shindo's side. I noticed her staring at the ground, blushing slightly.
"(Must be from that traumatic experience.)" I thought. "Hey, Shindo, you okay?"
She snapped out of it and looked at me. "Uh-? Why, yes. I'm fine. I'm alright now."
I smiled and nodded. "That's good to hear. I was worried you'd hurt yourself there!"
"Yes, well, let's get to class then, hm?" she said nervously, and began to walk ahead.

"Uh...sure." I said, even though she was already way ahead of me. I started walking after her when someone called my name from behind me.
"Sugiura!" called Mr. Scary Glary-I mean-Kiriyu. I hesitated because I thought of Shindo walking to class alone, but I suppose she'd understand.
I turned around and answered. "Yes?"
"Akane, is that a new camera you're holding?" asked Yuki. I noticed the two of them both eyeing the snapshot machine I was holding in front of me.
"Yeah," I said. "A gift from my family back home. I just recieved earlier."
"You DO understand the rules there are against the use of cameras, especially around the Moon Dormitory." said Kiriyu. "I hope you didn't bring it out here today with the intention of breaking them."
"Uh-Zero!" Yuki responded sharply.
"Nope, not at all." I replied casually. "Though I am considering..."
I saw him eye-to-eye, and from the looks of it he wasn't interested in accepting my challenge. "(Heh, smart move.)" I thought.
"Don't worry. You have my word! I'll be heading off to class now." I turned and walked away, waving. "So long, Student Councillor...'s'."
"Um, bye!" replied Yuki from behind, her voice sounded awkward. Of course, I understood why.

Student Councillor, Mr. Scary Glary-I mean-Zero Kiriyu has been on my back about my photography since well, ever. And then, there was that Night Class student...
"Uh-no-gotta concentrate." I muttered to myself quietly as I sat in class.
There IS a back story behind all this that explains everything.
