Orders to Kill (Zero love story)

"Zero," the vampire president called, "I need to inform you that an assassin will be attending the Cross academy this year."

"What?!?" Zero asked, his eyes widening.

"I would advise you not to make her mad. I want you to keep an eye on here thought," the president explained.

"Of course," Zero stated.

Zero walked through the front gate of the Cross Academy just like everyone else for the new school year. Zero's aroma had changed since last year. He was depressed, Yuuki was gone, and he had no real reason to live on. People still move away from him like they used to, but now they tried to keep even more distance, except one girl. This girl, too, had a dark aroma around her.

As class started he tried not to stare at that girl, who so happened to be sitting right in front of him. Her fiery streaks of hair cascaded upon the midnight black; her patient body was pale, as if she never saw sunlight in her whole entire life. Zero found himself staring time and time again. Finally the girl turned around to yell at him to stop staring, but when her emerald eyes met his pale purple orbs, Zero saw her breathe catch in her throat and a blush slightly forming on her cheeks. She whipped around in her seat, trying to pay attention to the teacher's never ending lecture.

Classes were over and Zero headed towards the headmaster's office.

"What do you mean that I'm going to be a guardian?!?" a famine voice yelled.

"Just calm down you're trained to do this kind of stuff. It seems like a logical choice," the headmaster explained.

Zero entered before the girl could reply.

"Ah, zero, you came just in time," the headmaster said, relief showed on his face.

The girl seemed to be frozen at the mere mention of his name.

"Zero, this is Akako Seikunji, she's going to be the other guardian," the headmaster said,

Akako groaned but took the badge anyway.

"I hate you," she stated to the headmaster before walking out the door.

"Who is she really?" Zero asked once he was sure that Akako was far enough to be out of hearing distance.

"She's from the Seikunji clan. They're known for being trained assassins."

"Why is she here?"

"That I don't know."

"Well I'll go on portal now."

"Show her what needs to be done."

"Sure."

Zero walked out of the chairman's office to be surprised when he came eye to eye with emerald orbs.

"How long were you standing there?" Zero questioned.

"For awhile," she stated, her eyes showed some unknown emotion that Zero didn't understand.

"Come on, you need to show me what this job is about."

'Oh great,' Zero thought, 'I can already tell that I'm going to hate her.'

Zero and Akako walked down the corridors, silence enveloped them.
