Blood brothers, by squishymcd
Hey everybody, just thought I'd pump out my own little Vampire Knight fanfic. It's my first fanfic, so be nice about it. I've added a hell of a lot of original characters, and I'm making the story completely original, almost unrelated to the real plot. I hope you enjoy it.
The soft beat of her heart. The rush of the blood flowing through her veins. The sweet, tantalising smell of her blood. He can't ignore them, he must act on it. Vampires live to feed, to heed the siren's call of blood, no matter how dear to you the person it's flowing through is. Her neck is exposed. So soft. So vulnerable. He leans towards her, his mouth only centimetres away from the perfection that was beneath. His fangs touch her skin gently, only a thin wall of skin separating them from her blood. One bite will bring it to him. One bite. One...
Zero snaps his eyes open. "Yuki!" he screams. His eyes darting around the small room, trying to find her, trying to make sure she's safe. The covers shift next to him, and Yuki sits up beside him. "Zero, it's okay, I'm here, I'm alright. It was just another dream Zero, I'm safe." Her soft smile reassures him, and he slowly relaxes, his breathing returning to normal. Yuki kisses him gently on the cheek, and whispers in his ear "I'm okay, don't worry. Now, go back to sleep, it's four in the morning. Let's enjoy our day off." Zero lies down as Yuki gently pushes him back, his head resting on a pillow. Zero turns his head to look at the girl lying next to him, her shapely sixteen year old body curled up beside him, clinging onto him gently, reassuringly. Zero smiles and wraps his arm around her, pulling her tighter to him. She was his. He grew up with her, and he couldn't deny his feelings. He tried, and up until she was fifteen, he seemed to be able to hide it. But then she let him feed on her. She let him suck her blood, to sink his fangs into her tender, soft neck. After that, he depended on her to stop him from going mad. The small drinks of blood he took keeping him sane. That was until Kaname let him drink. Kaname's pure vampire blood weaned him, stopped his deterioration into an animal. It was only supposed to be a temporary solution, but Zero's blood mixed quite well with Kaname's, curing him of the threat of becoming a Level E vampire. Yuki still offered to feed Zero, but he realised that he no longer wanted her blood, he just wanted her. He could no longer hide it. One night, after almost biting her, one kiss changed them both, forever. He was happy. She was happy. Zero kissed his love on the forehead, and then closed his eyes, praying that another blood dream wouldn't invade his mind. He always gets these dreams when Kaname wants to feed, like they're somehow connected. Zero holds Yuki close, and slowly drifts off into a peaceful, blood free sleep...
"Good evening, Yuki."
Kaname always greeted Yuki the same way when he saw her. Always with that same, emotionless sentence. It's as if he just forgot how much he cared about her, or how much he still does. Kaname accepted that Yuki could not be his, and he respected her and Zero so much. Zero protects her, and so Kaname can't complain.
"Good evening, Kaname." Yuki chirps back, as if to contrast his dull tone. "Hey buddy." Zero says with a smirk. Zero has learned a few things since drinking Kaname's blood. It puts him above most vampires, and it makes him stronger than most of them too. Unfortunately, he lacks the elemental or psychic powers most vampires have. He chuckles as the vampires in the hall reel in disgust as the words "Hey buddy" come from his lips. They always refer to him as "Lord Kaname". Zero never liked calling him that, and has figured out that for Yuki's sake, Kaname will let Zero away with most things like that. He likes being immune from the dumb little honorifics. Not that he doesn't respect Kaname. If it wasn't for him, he would be an animal by now.
"I have some very important news, for all of you", Kaname announces. "Cross academy has been our home for quite a few years now. We're all comfortable and well treated here, and I'm delighted to say that it's expanding. As of today, a new class is being added to the academy"
A shared gasp rings across the room. Nobody, not even Yuki, had ever thought another class would join the academy. The vampires glanced at each other, hoping that someone would understand this, and make sense of it. Zero and Yuki just held hands, and waited for Kaname to continue.
"This class will be housed in a new dorm, in between the day class dorm and the night class dorm."
"But that's completely forest!" Hanubusa interrupted.
"Please," Kaname continued, "Don't interrupt me Hanubusa. Yes, that area is almost completely forest, but a new dorm has been built there. It built on a platform, just above the trees. This class is called, the Twilight class. They will attend both the day classes with the humans, and the night classes with us vampires, depending on each person's individual choice."
Zero suddenly tensed up. "They'll be taking classes with vampires, if they so choose." Zero still referred to vampires as "Vampires", as if he wasn't one of them, out of force of habit, "How can that be allowed? They must know of vampirism, otherwise they would be a threat to allow into the class."
"I'm afraid I'm just as confused as you on that one Zero" Kaname says, shocking most of the class. They never expected Kaname to be confused, ever. "I'm afraid I know very little about the inhabitants of this class. The headmaster told me very little. I was simply informed to make this announcement to you all. Now, the Twilight class should be arriving any minute now. I'm not sure what to expect, but please, show them how courteous and mannerly we can be." Kaname smiles, a rare show of emotion. The class calms down, and pose in their typical vampire fashion, ready to greet these new classmates, ready to accept them, and even befriend them. After all, Yuki has shown that humans are kind creatures. Why should these be any different?
A loud knock is heard, and two vampires rush over to it to open the large double doors. The doors are pulled open, and several people walk in, their uniforms a shade of gray, not too dark or too light, the perfect mix of black and white. As they walk in, it becomes apparent that they are being led by one man. He looks about eighteen, and he is tall. Not to the extent of Zero or Kaname, but noticeably taller than most of the vampires in the room. His hair is red, and spiked, but not messily. Each spike seems to be perfectly styled. As he walks closer, the vampires look towards their lord, and see something they did not expect. On Kaname's face is a look that no vampire in the room has ever seen before, and one they had never expected to see on their mighty pureblood leader's face. Zero's mouth drops wide open, and Yuki poses, pointing her fist towards her chin. On Kaname's face is the most unexpected look anyone could have expected. On Kaname's face, is a look of fear.
The red haired leader of the Twilight class grins, a look of menace behind his dark eyes.
"Long time no see, Kaname Kuran."
