Title: Cononaka
Author: Katie-Lynn
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight (I just realized that I say this because every one else does even though I don't think FanFiction tells us we have to). Katie is my character, my creation! You can tell because that's the name I go by online. Everyone just calls her Katie, but her full name is...well you'll find out in the story (I think).
AN: As you can tell from my last statement, I have no clue where this story is going. It just came to me one night while I was "meditating" outside and I spent from 10:00 to 1:00 trying to get it all down on paper before I forgot it. That was just the first chapter too. Wheeeeee! Sorry, I'm hyped up on caffeine. Anyway, this is going to be the story I write when I get writers block concerning my other fan fiction. Oh yeah, blah is thoughts and blah/blah is a substitute for italics in a sentence where I want a specific word emphasized (I barely spelled that right). The rest is regular. Please tell me if you think anything I write is off. Ok, I'm done. -- Katie-Lynn
Episode 1 – Katie's Mission
I am different from other vampire hunters. Most's families were attacked and killed with only them surviving. My family are vampires. My father, Akira, is a Conoway, a pure-bred hunter; my mother, Naomi, a Nitanaka, a pure-blood vampire.
I am on a mission as I speed away from Cross Academy, towards the closest highway, on my legendary motorcycle, the Shadow Master. It happens often for me – for all hunters really; the call away from safety to do something that is necessary for the good of the world around us.
I am the only one in my family chosen to nowadays to go on said missions. Even though my father is a Conoway, he no longer possesses the strength to fight. When he fell in love with my mother, he knew he couldn't be a hunter and still be with her forever. Instead, he made a wish; a wish to become like her, a vampire, an immortal. His wish was, reluctantly, granted by my grandfather and they went on to have three children; my younger brother, me, and my older sister.
Ah, my older sister, the person I hate most in the world, and my mortal enemy, Hanami. She started at Cross two years before me and, unfortunately, was still there when I enrolled.
Before her enrollment, she was used to a school that promoted her being what she was, a pure-blood vampire. There were no blood tablets or fake blood-like substances, like most schools that promoted co-existence. She was the center of everyone's attention, as she was the reigning pure-blood teenager in that area.
That all changed when she started at Cross. She didn't get any special treatment and, instead of her being the most popular student, there was Kaname Kuran, the older and far more mature pure-blood whom everybody at Cross seemed to adore more than everybody else combined. It would be an understatement to say that she dislikes Cross Academy. In fact, she detests every student there, Day and Night Class.
She's been the foe in my life ever since she tried to kill our little brother when she was ten.
Hm, that brings me to my little brother, Saikito. It's sad really; whenever I think about him or see him, all I can think of is what Hana did to him, or more precisely, what she would have done to him had I already been shipped off to live in Europe with the Sinclairs. I love him – everybody does. He's the cutest twelve year old on the planet, even though he acts younger.
BAM!
"Shit!" I yelled. Something had hit the back of my bike and broken me from my thoughts. It was a bullet.
BAM!
I veered in between two cars trying to get away from whoever was shooting at me.
BAM! BAM!
I looked behind me as I went between two more cars. There were three of them, all on Harleys, and all with their faces hidden underneath helmets. I let out a frustrated groan and cranked up the speed of my own bike. They continued to chase me, but after a mile and a half, they gave up and fell back. I was nearing my destination and they knew it.
This occurrence brings me back to my previous thoughts about Sai. Every time something like this happens, I become glad that he doesn't have to do what I do. I'm pretty sure if he did he'd probably get himself killed.
After half a mile, I came upon the site where my mission was to be completed, the infamous Rose Academy.
When the guards at the gate saw me, they immediately opened it for me to enter the small village over which the school resides. The village, known as Koto to its inhabitants, is a famous place where every vampire, with the appropriate records, can find shelter.
As I neared the school, the tunnel, which runs beneath it to the parking area, opened automatically, just as the front gate had. I then made my way through the maze within until I found my designated spot. It being one of the closest student spots to the underground entrance to the school grounds, I was able to present myself to the very front door moments and enter into the Main Entrance Hall within a few.
Once I'd stated my business, the man that had shown me in pointed to a staircase on the left side of the Hall. I gave a small bow of my head and thanked him, then headed up the stairs to a darkened hallway full of students swapping stories about their recent voyage outside the village walls. On either side, I could see into classrooms crowded with students doing exactly the same thing.
Every now and then, one of them would wave, say hello, or look at me in disgust. I waved back, and replied to some over others, and ignored most except a few, which I gave a taste of what I'd learned while I'd been in America for a short few months.
I'm on a mission after all; I don't have time to stop and chat or start a fight we all know I'll win.
As I walked down the hall, I saw many familiar places; this had been the school that Hana had attended before she was forced to transfer to Cross.
People think that Rose Academy and Cross Academy are similar, but they're not. In fact, they're completely different. This school was founded by my ancestors a long time ago to educate vampire children in an environment they saw as the best for them at a time when co-existence was unheard of and unlikely. To my sister, this was paradise, but to me, this is a breeding ground for untrustworthy beings that are being taught to dislike all human life. So it's a wonder why I even came here in person instead of calling.
My mission, as I've mentioned countless times, is not as trivial as I've made it out to be. Indeed, all it is is to decline the invitation that my grandparents had sent me to attend the Homecoming Ball to be held at the end of this month. Also, to tell them, yet again, that my sister and I wish not to attend Rose Academy this term, how reluctant she may be.
I had finally reached my destination and, just as I was about to knock, the door to the Headmaster's office swung open revealing a woman, who looks to be in her thirties, but is actually over three hundred. She grabbed me by my right arm and dragged me into the room, slamming the door behind us, and shrieked,
"Katie, darling, it's so nice to see you again!" I avoided a bone-crushing hug by smiling sweetly and replying with,
"Hi, grandma, it's nice to see you again too." A big fat lie.
