I sat in my desk, grinding my teeth impatiently, angrily and frustrated as I waited for the bell to ring. There were two minutes left, and they seemed like forever as they passed by. But when the ringing of the bell rang through out the hall, I was happy. I ran outside, the wind flew by my face, but it was warm. The sun beamed down, the temperature stayed at a seemingly 29 degrees Celsius, which was warm. I ran down the paths behind the school, they had been formed by so many feet trampling down on the flowers and grass. I ran quickly not paying attention at all, I just wanted to get home and do my homework. I fell to the ground with a thud.

"Hey, watch where you're going," I said angrily at the person. I looked up to see a man wearing a trench coat and scarf. "What the heck? Its 29 degrees out, why are you dressed for winter?" He gleamed at me. His fangs slide out over top his lips.

"Your blood smells delicious," he said.

"Vampire," I whispered. H e moved towards me faster and faster. Then everything went black.

I had awoken from a restless sleep, to see an off-colour white ceiling. The thing that had awoken me was the voices of an argument.

"Why should I give up my vampiratic status for that little twit?" came the first voice. I slowly got up, and the bed creaked from under me.

"You saved her, she is your responsibility now," came a softer voice. I went to grab my housecoat, when I had realised that I was not home. The door sprang open and a young woman stood there.

"Why am I her..." she interrupted.

"Get dressed quickly," She said. The door closed. I looked over to the desk to see a pair of pants and t-shirt laying there. I walked over and picked them up. I noticed then that my entire body was covered in my own blood. My hands twitched at the sight. I got dressed quickly, and then ran out the door to the hallway. The red shirt flapped around a little while I ran.

"What did you want with me?" I asked.

"Your parents are dead," one of them said. Four others sat at the table, looking at their laps.

"You do not seem sad like the others," I said.

"They did not know you or your parents, however I did, It is much graver for me then you would think," he said. I smiled.

"Why I am here though, is what I want to know," I said.

"You are here for your own protection," said another.

"You see, three days ago you were attacked by a vampire. A pureblood on the run," said the women. The boy that sat next to her was my age.

"What are your names? If I shall be staying here, I would like to know," I said.

"Ina," said the young women. "Ina Saro and this is my son, Sao Saro." I looked at the boy.

"Why don't you speak?" I asked him.

"I do, I just don't like you," he said. He was the boy I had heard earlier.

"My name is Igo Gret," said the first to talk.

"Shey Gaht(pronounced gate)," said the other.

"Yin Yen," said the last. "That is what they call me here, although you do not need to my real name."

"Breathtaking names, Yin Yen, Shey, Igo, Ina and Sao," I repeated their names.

"DO NOT CALL ME BY THAT NAME," Cried Sao.

"Then what shall I call you?" I asked him.

"They call me Zero," he said. "My Dad was killed by vampires, and a tattoo reading zero was what was left on my back." He said. I smiled.

"Fine, Zero, my name is Kiyn (pronounced ki-yan)," I said. "Kiyn Kuea (pronounced Ki-yan Kay-u)."

"Kiyn," said Ina. "We have to protect you. We are all pure bloods, but until your vampire instincts kick in, you are still vulnerable to attacks."

"Vampire instincts? You mean the rumours are actually true? I can turn over to your world at any moment?" Igo nodded.

"Yes, it is either that or you will die," he said.

"Die?"

"Yes, you may die because of the loss of blood. Luckily that vampire that had attacked you, although a pure blood, was only able to take a little bit, then Sao," he growled a little.

"Igo!" he said angrily.

"Fine then, Zero, had shoved his hands into the vampire's chest, thus killing him,"

"So he saved me. That is why he is the one that must protect me. That is why I am his responsibility," I spoke softly.

"You understand that you will not be known as Kuran and Yuki's daughter anymore. But you will keep that least name they gave you to cover up your real last name," said Ina. I nodded.

"I understand completely,"

"My 'uncle' died a while ago from a vampire attack. I had only met him once, and my cousin. Even though they were both vampires, my father didn't want me to be near my cousin. He trusted my uncle, but he never did trust my cousin. We called him Pierce," I said.

"Why?" asked Zero.

"He was stabbed by his mother when he turned one, and that was when his vampire instincts kicked in. He killed her, and he almost killed my mother as well, they were both human, but I remembered everyone saying that my mother had the best tasting blood," I said.

"That was what happened to Zero. When his mother was killed, his father was found dead three years later. He was only four when it happened. We found Zero with the kanji for zero on his back and that was what we called him, although we still gave him a different name than his fathers," My head shot up at Yin's words.

"His fathers name was Zero?" I asked. Everyone in the room nodded. "that was the name of my uncle. Was his last name Kiryuu when you found him?" I asked. Everyone nodded again.

"Zero is my cousin, not literally because Mr. Cross only adopted him after the vampire attack on his family but, still," I said.

"Kiyn," said Zero. "Can I tell you why I saved you?"

"Was it because we are kind of related Zero?" I asked.

"I knew you since we were little, and even though I didn't recognize you, I felt as if I had too, because I loved you, the second I saw him attacking you I knew that I had to stop him because I love you," he said.

"Zero Kiryuu,"

"Kiyn Kuea,"
