Hello this is my first fanfiction, and I am really excited to put this out there. Hopefully you guys enjoy it. ZeroXOC. This chapter is really short but most will be long, it is just a placement chapter which tells you where we are now. I've had this fanfiction on my mind for a while, I decided to start it now because, all my exams are ending, and school is end which means summer vacation is beginning, and I will have nothing to do. (Especially since Vampire Knight is ending this month. /3)

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Vampire Knight or any of its characters (Zero, Ichiru, or Kaito /3). This WONDERFUL manga belongs to Hino.

Zero launches himself off the fire escape of his apartment and lands swiftly on the cold alleyway cement. He grips the silver gun in his coat and follows the dark aura into town. His eyes scan the crowd, scanning each and every person, sensing each and every aura. He continued to wonder through town following the now faint aura that eventually led him to a familiar location.

He groaned as he spotted Cross and his former Master standing by the entrance of Cross Academy. He losen the grip on his gun and walked to them. Cross stood tall,sturdy , and serious, unlike the previous years Kiryu had seen him. Next to him Yagari wore his usual scowl and glared intensely at the young hunter.

"What." the hunter spatted. Cross let out a sigh while Yagari thighten his jaw.

"You have not answer my calls," Cross said.

"I do not wish to guard those beast."

"Well it isn't a request," Yagari hissed, "It's a demand from the assosiation."

...

Students awed as Kiryu walked thorugh the hallways. His hair slightly longer, his eyes darker and his demenor more intimidating than last year. He swept past many familiar studensts and teachers as he made his way to the headmaster's office. He walked through the door and sat in the chair farthest away from Cross, Yagari, Association's President, and Kuran. The meeting was filled with arguments and outburst from Yagari, who conviently supported Zero. By the end the decsion was made; Zero was to guard the knight class along with another Hunter.

Since Zero was no longer a student at Cross Academy, he was to "help" Yagari as a sudent teacher and assisant for both the day and night class. He walked to the guest room in Cross's house located on the campus; he opened the door and observed the light purple room. Various pictures hung in on the walls, the many pictures that Cross had taken last year. Zero growled when his eyes landed on the picture of Kuran and Yuki standing together. On the wooden frame ingraved was 'Commence Misson Unite The Loved and Hated.' He rolled his eyes, 'Only Cross would think of a arrogant line such as this' Zero scanned the school grounds eventually landing on the empty Night Class Dorms, various memories tainted his mind and although his heart clenched in pain he refused to let himself feel the feelings. He shut the curtains and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Hello Ms. Takikko," Cross greeted as a young girl stepped out of the black vehicle. Her brown curls carresed her face and flowed to the middle of her breast. She smiled and held out her slim silk colored hand.

"Hello Cross," her bright lime green eyes gleamed, "It's a pleasure to meet one of the best hunters in history."

"Oh, Takikko," he waved his hand in the air dismissing the comment, "I must say the same. I've heard intresting things about you."

Cross escorted the girl to her new room while informing her of the new plans. He set her bags next to the entrance of her room; he look across the hall where Zero's room was.

"Zero must be asleep," he said lowly.

"Zero Kiryu?" the girl said tilting her head to the side, "I see he has approved to come?"

Cross nodded," Well actually, the association forced him to." Cross scratched the back of his head, laughing awkwardly.

The girl giggled, "So I'm working with the best of the best, Zero Kiryu. I've heard so much about him, his fight with Rido and his abilities. I am quite intrigued by him, seeing as he lost his brother and family, but yet he still fights."

"Well just like you, he has had his set backs." Cross said absent mindly, "Uh-I'm-I'm so sorry.."

The girl sat at the edge of her bed, "It's fine."

This is like my fourth time writing this note...stupid internet...

So? What do you guys think? Boring? I'm sorry, but I promise it will get interesting as we go along. There will be a better description of Tokkio when Zero meets her(part of the story.) I know that it was a boring chapter, but again, it will get better. I hope you guys will enjoy it. I will not ask you guys to review right now(but you can if you choose to), but when I get the story plot going I will ask for your feedback. Since this is a debut :P chapter I will not make you guys wait a week, I will put it up (MAYBE) by Sunday night if not Monday. Until next chapter!
