Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Konichiwa! How are you guys? Welcome, to my very first VK multi-chapter story! So basically the plot is this: Yuuki and her friends are outcasts in the social standings, but Yuuki has a crush on Mr. Popular, Kaname Kuran (*cue dramatic music*).

Anyway, to people who have never read anything of mine, my name is Jessica or Jess! This FF account is a joint account between my cousin, Kimmy, and me. Welcome to newcomers and oldcomers (is that a word?) alike.

This chapter is especially dedicated to Robert O. (who has waited a very long time for this fic), AshMuch (who I owe a lifetime of gratitude), and Alligatorface24 (who will always be a hero in my eyes).

I wanted this story to be a high-school drama, but I would prefer if this isn't too cliché or unreal. So, if this story starts heading that way please tell me!

Pairings so far are:

Kaname x Yuuki

Kain x Ruka

Aidou x Yori

Ichijo x Seiren

Shiki x Rima

Ichiru x Seiren

If you guys don't like the pairings or would like any other pairings please tell me.

Um, everyone in this fic is human. I've noticed that there aren't a lot of all human fics for KanaYuu fics, so I decided to do one. If anyone else had already done this idea, I'm not copying. I don't read a lot of VK fics anymore, just because I don't have time. I don't read a lot of fics in general. However, if you want me to read a fic of yours and review, I will try to do so.

Thanks to all who are reading this!

Yuuki Cross sighed when she walked through the classroom's door. She was tired and exhausted. A long night of homework had thoroughly worn her out. The closer she got to college freedom, the farther it seemed. Still, when she was with her friend Ruka, Yuuki sent her a weak smile and walked to her.

Yuuki Cross had shoulder-length chocolate brown hair with eyes that constantly changed from an inviting, warm red wine to a chocolate orbs that would melt that heart of anybody that looked straight at them. She was a bit short and tomboyish, but nevertheless she was pretty.

Ruka Souen had long dirty blonde hair that fell to her waist in elegant waves. Her eyes were the color of a dusky rose. She was tall and willowy, and she held herself with pride and grace. Even with a scowl on her face, the blonde managed to look elegant.

"About time you showed up," the Ruka muttered under her breath when Yuuki approached, "they're driving me crazy."

Yuuki spared a tired glance toward a group of shrieking and giggling girls, "What is it this time?" she asked as if she already knew the answer.

"Apparently," replied Ruka, her voiced filled with disgust, "Kaname asked Sara to be his girlfriend."

Yuuki snorted. It had been totally expected. Sara Shirabuki was "Miss Popular" and Kaname Kuran was "Mr. Popular." No surprise there. Well, Yuuki was a bit shocked. She actually knew Kaname. Okay, well not that well. Actually, she didn't know him at all. But he had saved her from a weird pervert when she was in middle school, and he talked to her sometimes. Not that often, but enough to see that he wasn't a jerk, or not a big one at least. Yuuki knew that power could make you arrogant, and having a whole bunch of random girls' numbers would make any guy arrogant, or at least that was Yuuki's opinion. Yuuki sighed. She knew that this was stupid; she knew she was lying to herself. She knew Kaname was arrogant and a jerk, but she still liked him anyway. Teenage hormones were a pain in the ass sometimes.

Yuuki's spirits were lifted a little though when another girl with wavy, short light brown hair walked in. It was her best friend Sayori, but friends called her Yori.

"Hey, Yori!" Yuuki greeted.

"Hey," Yori returned, "How are things going? You look annoyed."

Ruka butted into the conversation, "Kaname asked Sara out."

"Oh, that explains all of the girls' conversations, but what about the guys?"

"Bragging rights," Yuuki and Ruka replied together with disgust.

"I guess boys really don't mature earlier than girls," Yori observed.

"Are you saying that my boyfriend is immature, Yori?" asked a girl who had appeared to join in the girls conversation.

There was no denying that this girl was very pretty. Her strawberry- blonde hair looked like strands of gold in the sunlight, and her blue eyes glittered with amusement. Next to the girl was a quiet-looking boy with dark-reddish maroon-colored hair and blue eyes that almost looked translucent. It seemed that he was the girl's boyfriend, since he was holding her by the waist.

"I guess Shiki can be the exception, Rima," Yori agreed with the new girl, greeting the boy with a nod and gave a quick hug to the girl. The sudden sound of girls singing grabbed their attention.

"Well, you're a hot mess and I'm falling for you
And I'm like hot damn let me make you my boo
Cos you can shake it shake it shake it
Yeah you know what to do
You're a hot mess
I'm loving it, hell yes"

The girls in the classroom were dancing crazily, singing at the top of their lungs.

"My first went a little like this
And twist
And twist
Well My first kiss went a little like this
And twist
And twist
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way,
You know that I'd make her say
Oooooooh
Oooooooh"

Yori rolled her eyes at the noise, "I don't get it. Some of them can actually sing, but when they all sing together it just becomes a yelling contest."

"That's high school girls for you, Yori." informed Ruka, sighing, "Crazy, social-climbing, boy-hungry freaks." The contempt in Ruka's voice was evident.

"Are you saying that you're a crazy, social-climbing, boy-hungry freak, Ruka? After all, you used to be one of those popular girls," Rima drawled.

"What about you, Rima? You could be one of those popular girls too. After all, you and Shiki keep on getting invited to those parties that Yuki and Yori are never invited to," Ruka shot back.

"That's only because Shiki and I are models. Therefore the fact that we have our pictures plastered all over the magazines they read, and we're invited to all these parties that they hear about on TV, and I get to meet all these people they think are hot, makes them want to become our friend so they can tag along and try to become important. So, they're social-climbing freaks." Rima explained, "Besides, you get invited to those parties too, don't you?"

"True, but that's only because I used to be in crowd." Ruka admitted.

"Anyway, this topic is making me depressed. Let's talk about something else," said Yuuki.

"Fine," Ruka assented, "What's everyone doing this weekend? If you guys are all free, I was thinking we could have a little get together at my house. We could go to the mall or just sit and talk."

"That sounds fun, Ruka," said Yori, "I would like to come. I don't have anything to do this weekend besides homework, and I can always do that Friday night.

Rima and Yuuki quickly told Ruka that they would be able to come over too. Shiki opted to skip this gathering. He didn't want to go shopping at the mall or sit and listen to girl talk.

Rima sympathetically patted his arm and kissed his cheek, "It's okay, Shiki. I understand. If you want, you can go and hang with some of the guys. I guess I won't see you on Saturday, but maybe we can hang out on Sunday, okay?"

Shiki quickly agreed and gave Rima a quick hug. He went to go talk with the other boys in the classroom.

"Hey, cousin," greeted Shiki, when he saw Kaname, "congrats on your new girlfriend."

Kaname and Shiki were cousins. Shiki's father had been Kaname's uncle, but Rido Kuran was dead now. He had left Shiki and his mother when Shiki was just a child. Rido's body had been found a few years later. No one was really sure what had happened to him; an investigation had been opened, but nothing had been found. Shiki and his mother hadn't been affected much by Rido's death.

Rido and Shiki's mother had met in high school. They became boyfriend and girlfriend soon after. However, when Shiki's mother had gotten pregnant with Shiki, Rido's parents forced Rido and Shiki's mother to marry each other. Shiki's mother was happy at first, but she soon realized that she didn't love Rido. When Senri Shiki was born, she gave him the name Senri and her own last name, Shiki. She didn't want her son to be affiliated with her high school mistakes. Besides, Rido had never taken an active part in Shiki's life. He lived in a different house from Shiki and his mother and sent checks every month for their welfare and would only visit once or twice a month. When the checks and visits stopped coming, Shiki and his mother assumed that Rido had decided to leave permanently, and they decided not to look into it.

Despite the fact that Rido lived away from his wife and son, Shiki and his mother had still been invited to all the Kuran family gatherings. Haruki and Juuri Kuran, Kaname's parents, had taken it upon themselves to welcome the two. Despite this, Kaname and Shiki didn't grow up with a close cousin bond, but they did have a nice, easygoing relationship. They respected and understood each other's need for space.

While they shared the same blood, and they were both tall, they shared almost nothing in common. Kaname Kuran had deep crimson eyes that could peer straight into your soul. His hair was a mass of curls and waves, but it never failed to look anything but elegant unlike Shiki's hair that always looked like a mess. Also, Kaname had this air about him that made people look up when he passed, unlike Shiki who preferred to stay unnoticed. It was this air about Kaname Kuran that made him "Mr. Popular." Some called it arrogance. Some called in confidence. And some called the regal air of a king.

"Thanks, Shiki," Kaname replied to Shiki's greeting, "How's Rima doing?"

"She's fine."

"If you two ever break up, make sure to tell me, Shiki! Your girlfriend sure is pretty even if she doesn't talk much!" carelessly exclaimed a boy with wavy blonde-hair and turquoise eyes that were dancing with mischief.

"Aidou, I suggest you shut up right now," said Shiki, glaring at the boy who had just talked.

"Fine, whatever you say," said Aidou flippantly, "Well, since Rima and Sara are no longer available, what about that Yuuki Cross? She's a pretty little thing, don't you think?"

Kaname smiled in amusement, "If you want to be pursue Yuuki Cross, I suggest that you get some pretty good health insurance first. That girl is crazy. She'll probably hurt you if you try to get near her."

Aidou smiled confidently, "That's fine. I'll break her. Don't you worry," and with that, Hanabusa Aidou left to talk to Yuuki Cross.

Yuuki and her friends were talking about how much they hated math class, when Aidou walked up to them. When the blonde-haired boy walked up to them, the conversation came to a grinding halt.

"Hello? Yuuki Cross? I wonder if you would do me the favor of going on a date with me Friday night."

Aidou's question was met with silence. Suddenly nervous, he looked back to the group of boys for support. He was met with a mixture of amusement and pity, but one messy blonde-haired boy with green eyes yelled out to him, "You can do it, Aidou!"

"Thanks a lot, Takuma, thanks a lot. That helps me so much," Aidou muttered under his breath.

Sighing, Aidou looked again at the unreadable face of Yuuki. He began to wonder if this was a good idea after all.

"Your name's Hanabusa Aidou, right?" asked the brown-haired girl finally.

"Yes." The question was more of a statement, but Aidou replied anyway, relieved that at least something was happening.

"Well then, Hanabusa Aidou, I suggest that you go back to your little group and leave me alone unless you want to die," Yuuki said in an icy tone.

"So that's a no?" squeaked Aidou.

"That's a no, Aidou. Now leave before I kick where it's going to hurt." Yuuki's glare at Aidou was pure ice.

Needless to say, Aidou left. When he was gone, Yuuki looked at her friends, confused, her icy demeanor gone.

"Was that a dare of something? Why would he ask me out? It's not like I'm in the 'in crowd' like him, and I'm not pretty. If he wanted someone pretty, then he should just have asked Maria out. She's single, pretty, and nice." Yuuki look perplexed and a bit vexed.

"I don't know. Aidou's just weird. Just don't think about it. He's just playing around. He's a bit weird like that," Ruka stated.

"I guess," Yuuki uttered, looking exhausted.

"Anyway, look there's Zero!" exclaimed Yori, excitedly.

Zero Kiryu was Yuuki's adoptive brother. While Yuuki had adopted the last name Cross from her adoptive father, Zero had not done so. Maybe it was because Zero had been adopted when he was eleven, whereas Yuuki had been adopted when she was only five. Yuuki had grown up with her adoptive father, Kaien Cross; Zero had enjoyed eleven years with his real parents. Yuuki only had dim memories of her parents, but Zero could remember his parents' faces, and he even had pictures of them. While Yuuki only knew she had been adopted by Kaien Cross due to the fact that Kaien and her parents had been friends. The same went for Zero and Ichiru.

Zero was the older of a set of twins. His younger twin was named Ichiru. They were both devoted to each other. Though they were twins, Zero and Ichiru shared nothing in common besides their looks.

Zero and Ichiru shared the same silver hair and lavender eyes, but while Zero's eyes seemed to pierce one's very soul, Ichiru's eyes held compassion and understanding. Zero had a rebellious attitude, while Ichiru's attitude was gentle. While anger drove Zero, compassion drove Ichiru, but despite their differences, Yuuki loved them both.

Getting up from her seat, Yuuki ran up to beg Zero for help with math homework. Zero gave one of his rare smiles, and the two sat down to work. Looking at them, the three girls who had been left behind couldn't help but wonder if the two were just loving siblings or if something else was there.
