Disclaimer: I own neither references nor characters from Vampire Knight (if I did Kaname would fall off a cliff and Zeki would be happening) but I do own Minami, Naomi, Rei and Hina!

A/N: So this is my first Vampire Knight story ever! It'll consist of the couples…well I won't tell you just yet but I hope you enjoy it. Please R&R and for people who are reading Beauty and the Volturi...I know I'm very slow at updating but perfection takes time! Ha-ha, enjoy!

This means dreaming

This means thought

This is regular

The blazing red eyes gazed into hers once again. Their burning and thirst inflamed their image perfectly in her mind, making every core of her being shake with fear and anticipation.

Run.

Hide.

Kill.

She clutched her battered hands around her weapon, but another pair of the blood colored eyes caused her to lose her attention. Flashes, of so many people she could faintly remember, clouded her vision as the two flame-eyed moved closer. All she could do is swing aimlessly as they approached; the black shadows with glistening teeth.

"Leave me alone!" she screamed but no words seemed to escape her mouth. Tears began to stain her face.

"Poor Naomi. "One of them sneered.

"Naomi" They all joined in a chant.

"Naomi"

"NAOMI!!!"

Naomi jerked upward in terror, throwing her eyes open to see Minami, her roommate staring at her in concern.

"Are you okay?" she asked placing a cold hand on Naomi's shoulder.

"Yeah, it was just a stupid dream."

Minami smiled at her," Well, at least it's time to wake up anyway! "

Minami jumped lithely off her bed, landing lightly on the floor as she smoothed out her bright orange pajamas; orange was not just Minami's favorite color, it was her obsession. Naomi rubbed her hands across her eyes as she crawled her way out of her blanket. By the time Naomi was out of bed Minami had already gotten changed, made up her hair, and put on her coat and shoes.

"Gosh, you are such a morning person!" Naomi groaned.

"I know, it's a gift! I guess I'll just meet you out in the training grounds when you're ready!" Minami beamed, throwing her bow and arrow over her shoulder and skipping out the door.

As soon as Minami was gone Naomi started to get changed.

What is the matter with me? These dreams….

_

Naomi could have spotted Minami from a mile away. Her light brown hair that was in crazy pigtails and bright orange buttons on her hunter cloak set her apart from all the other people in the training grounds.

"Naomi-chan! You took forever! I had to practice all by myself for the longest time! I was terribly lonely!" Minami pouted, her huge green eyes blinking cutely.

Naomi looked down at her watch, "Minami you were only out here for 10 minutes."

"10 minutes, 10 years; same difference!"

Naomi rolled her eyes.

"So are we gonna practice alone today or with our V buddies?"

"I haven't seen Rei-san in like a millennium, let's go find them!" Minami jumped in happiness, dashing off down the sidewalk.

Naomi sighed and ran after her, "Wait for me!"

Minami turned around and waited till Naomi reached the front steps.

"Where in the world do you get all this energy?" Naomi panted.

Minami just shrugged and looked up at the large building. The building looked to be ancient; it was a dark charcoal color and has two gargoyles perched on the top roof. It was around 10 stories tall and there were no windows and only one door that was carefully guarded by 2 men in black suits.

"It seems so cruel to make them live here." She sighed looking up at the gargoyles.

"Better they live here than be dead." Naomi spat emotionlessly as she walked towards one of the men in the black suits.

"Excuse me, I'm Naomi Yuina and this is Minami Kitsuke, we're here to see Rei and Hina?"

The guard looked them over and, once finding them to be harmless, opened the antique door.

"Thank you!" Minami called as her and Naomi walked into the entrance.

The entrance was even more eerie than the outside. Dim, red, lanterns lined the walls and went along the huge wooden stairway that led to the first level. Spider webs filled every open corner and the quiet but painful sounds of screeches and scratching could be heard, echoing around the room.

Minami and Naomi adjusted their eyes to the darkness and walked up the endless staircases. They didn't tremble, they weren't afraid. For vampire hunters have no emotions.

At the tenth floor they split off their normal path to walk down a silent corridor, one that had only two lanterns and one door at the end of the hall. The door was unlike the other doors, instead of the dark grey color it was a light brown and was less cold to the touch.

Naomi rapped her knuckles lightly against the door, she could sense that they already knew she and Minami were there but she had to act politely.

The door opened slowly with a creek to reveal a pair of obsidian colored eyes gazing out of the darkness.

"Naomi! Minami! Come in!" It whispered in surprise, opening up the door to reveal a tall girl with short, spikey red hair wearing a black skirt with a dark blue tank-top.

"Rei-san!" Minami squealed engulfing said person into a hug.

"Wow, you guys seemed to have redecorated!" Naomi laughed walking into the messiest dorm she'd ever seen in her life.

There were cluttered papers, books, games, and wrappers everywhere but underneath it all you could find a small white chair in the back of the room next to a normal sized black sofa. The walls were white but a dark grey could be seen under the peeling paint; there were three doors, one leading to a bathroom, one leading to a bedroom, and another leading into a kitchen.

Out of the last door came a shorter girl with bleach white hair that was in a bun, who was wearing jeans and a light grey shirt. She had microwavable ramen in her hands and tried to talk with her mouthful when she noticed the guests.

"WHEUNAOMIAOIR-UOESANDOI!"

Rei, who was attempting to pull Minami off of her, scolded the other girl, "Hina, how many times have I told you! You can't talk with food in your mouth."

Hina swallowed and Naomi laughed.

Rei, after finally getting Minami to let go of her, looked at the two Hunters," What brings the two of you here?"

"We wanted to practice with you guys again!" Minami beamed.

Naomi's face turned serious again "-and I have something I need to talk to you about, Hina."

The room went silent as Hina nodded placing her ramen on a nearby table. She looked at Rei then led Naomi into the bedroom and closed the door. Naomi sat down on the nearest bed while Hina sat opposite her.

"So what's up?" Hina inquired.

"I know it may sound really dumb and maybe even crazy but I've been having these horrible dreams lately and it's giving me the feeling that something terrible is going to happen." Naomi said, hiding her face with her long black hair, her red streak over her right eye.

Hina looked down at the tattoo on her hand then at Naomi's bracelet; her master always knew when something bad was coming.

"I can't lie to you; I've been having the same feeling. I can sense a huge gathering of Vampire's…it's unbelievable. " She admitted, her blue eyes flashing.

"I just keep having this nagging feeling that we're going to have to play a part in it that our lives could be in danger."

Hina shook her head, "You should stop worrying yourself with such ominous feelings, and leave the problems to us vampires."

Naomi nodded. "Yes, but that won't stop me from wondering."

Upon exiting the room, they found Rei chasing Minami around the room, Minami waving around Rei's most valuable necklace.

"Give it back!"

"Make me, all mighty -your-blood!" Minami sneered, joyfully dangling the necklace from her fingers.

Whoosh

Hina handed Rei back her necklace.

"You know it's not fair when you cheat!" Minami pouted.

"It's not cheating; it's using my talents with wind to my advantage!" Hina retorted.

"Well if you guys are ready, let's head out to the practice field." Naomi interrupted, throwing her weapon over her shoulder.

"I don't think you'll be headed anywhere very soon." A stern male voice stated, placing a hand on Naomi's shoulder.

"Excuse me, but I don't think we invited you." Rei spat, her eyes narrowing.

"I'm the current leader of the Hunter's Association. I think I can enter a room whenever I want to." he frowned, "and I'm here because I have an assignment for the four of you. Pack all of your things and meet me in my office immediately, Good-day."

As soon as the leader's footsteps disappeared down the hall the four girls exchanged looks.

"Who does that man think he is, ordering us around and all?" Rei huffed.

"Leader-sama is our commander. We have to listen to him, it's one of the Hunter's rules." Naomi answered in a defeated tone.

"Just because he's your leader doesn't mean we have to listen to him." Hina said gesturing to Rei and herself.

"No, but you have to listen to us." Minami replied pointing to her bracelet.

The vampires looked defeated.

"Fine, we'll meet you guys at his office." Rei sighed pushing them out the door," just hurry up and pack."

_

Rei stood next to Naomi her arms crossed while Hina and Minami sat down in two large chairs.

"Now just how important is this mission?" Naomi questioned, leaning over Leader-sama's desk.

"It's a very basic mission but very vital that you succeed. Your success is going to make or break the careful balance we've placed between the pureblooded vampires and us hunters."

"What exactly do we have to do?" Minami said looking in curiosity while swinging her legs back and forth.

"Protect the pureblood named Yuuki, Princess Yuuki."
