"Awaken to darkness on this place we call Earth,
One vampire's bite brings another one's birth.
A vampire wakes with bloodthirsty needs
On the warm rich sensation he feels when he feeds.
He stalks in the night like a disastrous beast,
And what once was alive will soon be deceased.
So when the last bit of sunlight disappears from the sky,
You better watch out unless you want to die."
-Victoria Boatwright

Chapter 1: Once bitten…you'll always be

"Why?" Was the first word that escaped his lips. Standing on a rooftop he waited irritably as the girl he loved stood in front of him, weapon in hand, and made no reply. Instead she tilted her head gently to the side as if she didn't quite understand what he was saying. Her long brown hair fell gently to her side. So graceful he thought, but then a bitter afterthought flowed through his mind. Just like him.

Kaname Kuran.

His worst enemy.

Her brother.

And her lover.

"Zero," She whispered as if it pained her to say it. It pained him more for her to say his name, especially in that tone. He lifted his revolver.

"Don't." He hissed, not sure if he could control himself. Why did I have to ask 'why' in the first place? He thought, angry with himself.

"I'm sorry." She said, despite his warning. Many thoughts ran through him, some negative and some positive. He could do it now and get it over with. He had nothing to lose anyway. With her dead, he would pursue her in death. He was worthless now anyway. Kaname's lapdog more or less. His arm began to shake.

Dammit Zero! Get a hold of yourself!

"Are you going to shot?" She asked, staring at him. Her chocolate eyes met pale purple ones. As if she could read his mind she did the very thing he prayed that she wouldn't, she took a step towards him. Then another. He watched as she came closer and closer. Like a beautiful demon, hypnotizing him and taunting him.

"D-don't." He stuttered, raising the gun at chest height. A sad smile appeared on Yuki's face.

"Are you going to kill me…Zero?" She asked. Zero opened his mouth to say something, anything that might bring relief to himself but found nothing. Feeling his vampire side turn on, he had a sudden thirst. Fighting within himself, he wanted to rip Yuki's neck and lick dry the reward that lay behind. A abrupt sense of panic flooded through him. Just exactly who was he now? Yuki, fearing the worst reached her hand out as if to comfort Zero.

"DON'T COME NEAR ME!" He yelled, causing her to retreat her arm.

"Zero, let me help you!" She pleaded. "What is it? Do you need blood?" To hear the word again sent impulses throughout his body. Yes, he wanted blood, but he wasn't going to satisfy his inner demon self.

"Leave me alone." He said sternly and ran. Yuki wanted to run after him, but something inside her told her not too. It would only make it worst. Looking down at the spot were, a few seconds Zero stood, she cried, she always made Zero's life harder. She was his obstacle.

Kaname gently tapped the door. Yuki, lying on a four-poster bed said nothing as he opened it and walked over towards her. She had come straight home again to Cross academy and stayed in her room since. It was a good three hours to think things over as well, it was good just to cry and let her emotions take over. Kaname sat carefully on the bed and stroked her hair.

"Are you ok?" He asked quietly. Looking up to him, a faint smile could be seen on her face.

"Now I am." She answered and got up to sit beside him. Kaname was her brother a pureblood vampire like herself, though she didn't know of this until recent.

"Zero again?" He asked softly as she nodded slightly. As Kaname placed a protective arm around her, she remained silent as if trying to find her words.

"I feel like I'm slowly destroying him." She said faintly. Kaname was about to answer when a knock was heard on the other side of the door.

"Kaname-sama?" A voice, Akatsuki's asked. Sighing Kaname told him to come in. As Akatsuki, a handsome blonde aristocrat walked in, he bowed at both Kaname and Yuki.

"There's something you should see Kaname-sama, Yuki-sama." He said nodding to each of them.

"Is it something of great importance?" Kaname asked as he stood up. Nodding Akatsuki added, "I believe so." Kaname walked towards the door and then turned to Yuki.

"You don't have to come." He said in a more friendly tone. Shaking her head, Yuki got up as well.

"It's all right Kaname-san, I think it would be good for me to get my mind off something." Doing a curt nod as if he understood what she was saying Kaname followed Akatsuki out the room. Yuki, turning off the lights and closing the door behind her, followed.

They made their way swiftly to an abandoned classroom. Most of the night class students, who happened to be from well-known vampire families were already waiting and when Kaname and Yuki entered, got up and bowed to show their respect.

"Here." Takuma, the vice president of the night class said. Attention fell to him as he lifted up a fellow students' body. The gasps from the vampires filled the room. It was hard to kill a vampire, especially someone in aristocrat status. Not to mention, there were not very many who would dare to try it. But was what found more shocking a intriguing about this was that the body of the fellow vampire student was intact. It would take a very smart and powerful person to do such a thing to a vampire. Kaname bent down and inspected the body.

"Where was the body found?" He asked. Takuma answered saying just behind the school. So, the body was either killed on school grounds or someone brought it from somewhere else.

"We should secure the school first, just in case the killer is in the area." Kaname announced. Immediately some of the night class left, not being needed to be told again.

"Is there anything else?" Kaname asked.

"Yes," Takuma said. Automatically from his response, it couldn't be anything good. Takuma reached into his pocket and pulled out an enveloped piece of paper.

"Kaname-sama." He said as he handed it to him. Yuki, standing on her Tipp toes to see, made Kaname smile. Embarrassed, she fell down. "It's all right, Yuki," He said, handing her the opened letter. "Why don't you read it?" He suggested, but it was more like an order. Adjusting her eyes, she read. When she finished she looked up.

"Who are the Volturi?" She asked. Some murmur began to pick up in the room. Kaname took the letter himself and skimmed quickly.

"The Volturi are our…. cousins in some shape or form. Realistically they are not, but to be on friendly terms, we call them that." Kaname explained pacing up the aisle of the dark classroom. "They have their own belief to a vampire and they are…. wannabe's more or less. They have evolved to be rather foolish and stupid." Perplexed, Yuki pondered how so? As if Kaname could see the confusion on her face (which he probably could), he went on.

"They sparkle in the sunlight, they usually try to induce women or men for that matter and they run around the country as if they didn't have any pride or commitment. Usually our kind, the true vampires have kept away from them." Some of the students nodded with him.

"Right now they have threatened to challenge us. As they have killed one of our kind it seems an all out war is inevitable." Yuki looked worried, but said nothing. "Don't worry, this idea of an all out war to determine who is the rightful race of vampires have been increasing since the day the Volturi were created." He assured as if it was all-natural. He glared at Seiren, who most of the time acted at his bodyguard.

"You know what to do." He said. With a slight nod she left the room. He then looked at everyone around the room.

"The day has come." He said. "Make sure you know what and why you're fighting for. You don't have to fight, but, with one less person, it could make a difference. These wannabe vampires have been threatening us for a while now. Taking our land across Europe and North and South America, and further pushing us into Asia and then into Japan. If we don't do something, our race will be lost."

"Kaname-sama," they replied, "We are in your service." Kaname's eyes brightened.

"Thank you everyone, and let's hope, for our sake, we win."

Well that's it for chapter one. There's going to be at least six chapters until it's done. The next chapter will go to the Cullen's and switch thereafter. Oh and the next chapter will be longer, I swear! Please leave a review, even if it's a bad one. It still inspires me in some way. Thank you for your time to take the time to read this and I hope you will continue to read. READING IS AWESOME! :D

Thanks (arigato)
