(Chapter 1)

"Well that would be so-!"Aido suddenly freezes. Bloody rose was pointed right at his head.

"Step away from her...and keep your nasty fangs away as well..." Zero says calmly.

"Ahh...Zero...I see you've finally drank something for on-!" Zero pulls the trigger, almost hitting him. "One more word and I wont miss.." Zero narrows his eyes in annoyance. "You shouldn't be messing with the day class students..." The day class girl looked up at them both, terrified.

"As for you..." Zero looks over at the day class student. "This is your fault for even coming out here at night."

"Zero!" Yuki admonishes. "While yes, she shouldn't be out here at night, as it is highly against the rules, you don't need to be so harsh with them!" Yuki reached out to lower his arm, moving the Bloody Rose down from Aido's face. "Aido, you need to go back to your dorms. Please notify Lord Kaname of this event, I will be taking this girl to the Headmaster's office."

"But Yuki!" Aido whined. "Can't I go to class? That's where I should be in the first place."

"Aido, no. I'm not sending you back to class. You are to go to your dorm unless Lord Kaname says otherwise. Stop by your class room to tell Lord Kaname about this, and then I want you to go straight back to your dorm!"

Zero growled slightly in anger then slide his gun away into his uniform, Glancing at the frightened day class student, Zero sighed.

"V...Vampire..." she mutters before fainting.

"Give me a break! All they do is run after them like animals!" Zero says in an unappeased tone of voice.

"Zero," Yuki sighed, trying to lift the girl. "They don't know! They aren't supposed to! That is one of the more offensive traits of a Vampire! They are supposed to be unbelievably attractive, it lets their prey relax around them. You know that just as well as I do." Yuki struggled with the 16 year old girl. "We were raised knowing about Vampires, we were raised around Lord Kaname. It isn't their fault about any of it except for them being out at night." She moved to take the girl back to the headmaster's office.

"Says the girl who's always watching Kaname Kuran!" he narrows his eyes. "Your so obvious its pathetic!" his tone of voice showing his disgust at the notion. "You and those day class girls are just the same!" he said as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, following quietly.

"Why can't you just get a grip of yourself already? I don't see what you like in that guy but I don't like it." He looks away.

"For your information, Zero, I owe Kaname everything! I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for him!" Yuki chided. "You should know that by now. And I do not stare!" Yuki huffed as she continued to attempt carrying the day class student, but ended up dragging her.

Zero sighs grabbing the girl from Yuki, and picking her up. "Just keep telling yourself that! I understand why you would think that and that you wouldn't be alive if it weren't for him. But still, it doesn't mean that you have to chase after him like a puppy wanting attention. You need to keep in mind he's one of them. It's not completely safe all the time. You know that." He sighs in irritation. "Yuki, I mean it."

"Zero..." She said quietly to his back. "Zero, remember. You try to deny it, but you know that someday, you can be more dangerous to me than he is...But I still stay with you. I'm still your friend, aren't I?" Yuki whispered, unsure if he could even hear her. "I just want you to smile...someday." she wished desperately for a lighter Zero, a more carefree Zero. A Zero who was happy, and free. But she knew that it wouldn't be her that brought that freedom to him. So she sighed, and continued after him.

"...Friend is all I am!" He snaps. "Dammit, Yuki!" Zero growls and gives the girl to her. "Forget it!" he grumbles, walking away from her. He couldn't stand it. He went to the dorms in pure irritation, and straight up to his room where he slams the door shut.

"...Zero..." Yuki whispered sadly. "I don't understand...what did I say? How did I make him so angry?" Yuki balanced the girl beside her a little better and set out towards the headmaster's office.

Zero punches the wall as he grits his teeth. "Dammit Yuki! Why do you have to like Kaname Kuran so much!?" He slides his back against the wall, sliding into a sitting position, covering his head with his arms.

Yuki tried her best to ignore the fact that Zero was angry at her. It wasn't exactly new, he spent most of his time angry at her. She just wish she knew what to do. Sighing, she resolved herself to the task at hand, half carrying, half dragging the unconscious girl to the headmaster's office. After a knock, and a muffled "Come in", she enters with the girl. "Headmaster, this girl was caught out after dark. Luckily enough, Zero and I were able to chaise Aido away from her. Her memory needs to be modified though."

Kaname was sitting in a chair in front of the headmaster's desk. The head master stops talking and looks up. He looks at the girl in her hands and sighs. "Aido was at it again I see.." He closes his eyes for a moment. "Very well. Kaname, if you may." He says and Kaname stands, walking over to Yuki with a soft smile.

"K-Kaname! I didn't know you would be here!" Yuki moved to bow, but accidentally lost her grip on the girl. "Oh no!" Yuki reached her hand out, but was unsuccessful in catching the girl.

Luckily Kaname was quick enough to catch her half way down. "Yuki, I told you before, there's no need to bow to me. I'm no different from the rest in a way.." That smile never leaving his face as he stands straight up.

The headmaster stands and walks over to the young girl in Kaname's arms. "Did she get bitten?" He asks out of concern.

"I-I'm sorry!" Yuki blushes. "I...well...no, but...I have to check on Zero, am I needed?" Yuki stammers, looking at her father figure of the last 8 years.

"No, you may go." He says with smile as he looks upon his daughter. 'Oh she's grown so much!' he thinks, and Kaname looks at the headmaster as if thinking the same thing. Letting out a sigh Kaname walks over to the headmasters desk with the girl in hand.

"See you later Yuki.."He says looking over his shoulder as she walks out the door.
