A/N: I just had to do this once I saw a crossover video of Zero and Eliot on Youtube, haha. (thank you ThexLastxPiece for fueling this crack!) This chapter is supposed to be a little short, it's just a little backstory to set thigs rolling. Anyways, if you haven't already guessed, this is a yaoi fic, as in boyxboy. So please so flaming if you don't like it! Rated M for lemons in later chapters. *eyebrow wiggle* Haha, enjoy.
"Good morning my most every prized students, are hope you are feeling well today because we going on a little vacation!"
I internally winced at the ever-shill voice of our teacher, Mrs. White, as she spattered off flamboyantly about our "vacation" in order to observe the behavior and teaching methods of another school: Cross Academy. The trip was formed due to a very strange argument between Leo and that strange Vesalius girl over the occult and whether it was "logical" or not. Leo ended up snapping and going into one of his rare fits of rage whilst arguing, so in order to keep an open mind, Mrs. White formulated a plan that could help us do so, which includes us being shipped off for a tour at the school which is notorious for strange happens.
Many times I questioned if the woman was a witch herself.
I tilted my head slightly to Leo who sat behind me before speaking in a slight whisper,
"Hey, are we seriously going to that damn school?"
"Yes," he said quietly, not looking up from his book. "Why, do you not want to go?"
"Yeah… but Vanessa nearly killed me last time I cut class… I don't want her to worry again."
Leo's response was almost inaudible, "Who knew Eliot could be considerate."
"Shut up!"
A particularly loud cough from Mrs. White snapped my head back into its former position, only to meet a glaring, no longer giddy teacher. I could see her eyebrow twitching slightly in frustration behind the heavily forced smile on her face.
"Now Eliot…" she sang in a sickly sweet tone, "Just because you're a member on the Nightrays does not mean you get special treatment, so while you were goofing off you clearly missed my instructions…"
"Yes, I apologize, teacher."
She placed her hand on my shoulder and clenched it with a bruising grip.
I don't think I've ever been so scared of someone with a pink flower in my life.
"So please, I hope that you stay safe of this journey, right Mr. Nightray?"
"Y-yes, thank you for your concern." I stammered. She released the death claw that was her hand and twirled around heading back to her position to the front of the class room, eyes glittering once more as I rolled my shoulder.
"And with that class, please head outside and get ready to board the carriages."
There was a rustling of items as people rose and trailed out of the room, idle chatter floating everywhere with the occasional laugh. I got up and stretched before nodding towards Leo as a sign that we should go. Wordlessly he walked behind me for awhile until we reached outside, commented on the weather to himself before turning to me.
"That was quite a show Mrs. White put on today."
"Be quiet" I retorted. "That woman's insane…"
"You're the one who interrupted her class though."
"You responded, so that makes you just a guilty!" We began walking towards our selected carriage as Leo kept talking.
"Yes but as your servant it is my job to answer my masters questions."
"…Smartass."
The two of us bounded into the carriage and I felt a slight jerk as it began to move. Silence captured the atmosphere and sleep slowly, like a light dust, scattered over me, Leo still reading that strange book as I feel asleep.

A snow filled field surrounded me as a question to how I came here. The land was barren of life as I quietly walked, the sound of snow crunching beneath my feet. I saw a leafless tree and slowly made my way over to it. It was tall and eerie, but something possessed me in that moment which caused me to brush my fingertips across its aged bark.
Red flashed across my vision, as I heard the voice of a young girl, in a frightened whisper: "I'm scared." Immediately I turned around only to see nothing, but those two words echoed through my mind: "I'm scared." over and over, along with the dancing images of red. I shut my eyes tightly and opened them widely, looking out to the black that was in the distance. I could see pairs of eyes, blood red with their toothy grins approaching me, the girl's whispers were getting louder and I wanted to escape.
In the midst of madness, however a set of violet orbs left me fixed to the area in which I stood. They called out from all of the other pairs that bore into me with malice, it was different, yes. Instead of a hunger they held a curiosity. The girl's voice had vanished and now all I heard was the wanting whisper of my name.
"Eliot…" those eyes called. I starting stepping nearer to those amethyst jewels, curious as to whom they belonged to, but a very faint and very choked cry froze my mind and body. It came from the girl once more, and left me feeling very unsettled.
"The vampire's going to eat me…"
xXOXxXOXx
The sudden jolt that was sent throughout the carriage as it passed a bump on the road woke me from my former state of sleep. I blinked and found Leo staring at me, eyes no longer glued to the book in his hands.
"Did you have the nightmare about the burning house again, Elliot?"
"No…" I muttered quietly while running a hand through my hair. "It wasn't a nightmare, but it wasn't a pleasant dream either, it was…"
"Perhaps it was a premonition…"
I couldn't help but snort at his notion, "Isn't your belief that such things are so ridiculous the reason that we are on this trip in the first place?"
"Mrs. White said to keep an open mind, so I'm just doing that."
I sighed and decided not to question Leo's sudden shift in attitude and stared out the window. It was going to be a long day today…
As the carrige came to a stop, I did my best not to dash out of there in order to flee from the stagnant atmosphere to the freedom of outside.
A/N: Hello, hello! I know this chapter is pretty short, but I felt that if I didn't cut off here, it would become very drawn out and long in the next one. This is more of a prequel before the whole thing happens. (Zero barely got any time in this chapter and I feel mean. /3) But TRUST me, it shall all pay off. I nom on reviews so if I can somehow manage this... thing, (xD) than that would be amazing.
