The Past

Yuki Kuran and her parents Haruka and Jurie Kuran were purebloods and Kaname Kuran was not born as her real older brother, but in fact they were still brother and sister and one day one they were older they would be together forever. Kaname as a cousin that no one else knew about another pureblood vampire Tsubaki Kuran, her mother was killed by vampire hunters and her father was left to raise her. Since Kaname was to be with Yuki when she came of age, Tsubaki is the same age as Kaname and she was to be giving to his uncle Rido Kuran, but that day was never to come to pass. Rido turned out to be a evil and deceitful vampire and stole Tsubaki away from her father when she was only eight years old and he as kept her since. Rido was planning on killing Kaname's parents which he did and he tried to use Tsubaki as a pawn in his evil deed, but instead she helped Kaname destroy him and they have since then watched over Yuki. Her mother turned Yuki into a human which cost her life, but she wanted Yuki to grow up as a normal human girl.

When Kaname saved Yuki from a vampire, Tsubaki and Kaname took her to the Chairman at Cross Academy to be cared for. Yuki as no memory of her past and all she know's of Kaname and Tsubaki are that they are good vampires and are her friends, she as no idea he is her brother and Tsubaki is her cousin. Another family was attacked and a boy Zero Kiryu was brought to the academy in the care of the Chairman and Yuki. Who watched over him well and was his friend, but until one day Zero was not happy with Yuki when he saw who she knew.

Kaien was preparing dinner for Yuki and Zero and their guests that were coming and Zero had know idea the guest were two pureblood vampires. Yuki heard the door open and grabbed their hands and brought them in. Zero saw a tall man enter the room with medium length brown hair and the most intense red eyes and a woman with long blonde hair and the same eyes. He saw that Yuki was friends with them and he stood up and grabbed a knife and ran towards the two vampires. Kaname saw his intention and pushed Yuki and Tsubaki out of the way. Yuki said, "Kaname senpai." I said, "he is all right Yuki." Kaname pulled the knife out of his arm and said, "like one such as you could kill me."

I said, "Yuki I think it is best if Kaname and I leave." Yuki said, "Kaname senpai, Tsubaki senpai see you later." She gave both of us hugs and Kaname and I left. Yuki left to go check on Zero and he was sitting on his bed and she tried to touch him and he said, "don't touch me with the hands you touched them with Yuki." She said, "Kaname senpai and Tsubaki senpai are good vampires and Kaname saved me from a bad vampire." Zero said, "good vampires I will never believe it." Yuki didn't know what else to say so she left.

Kaname and I were at my father's house and I asked, "Kaname how do we know that he is really gone?" Kaname said, "I don't know, but I will protect Yuki and you from that monster." I walked over to Kaname and sat next to him and I put a comfortable hand on his shoulder and he laid his head on my shoulder and I said, "Kaname senpai it will be ok we will protect her and this world from creatures such as him." Kaname lifted up his head and hugged me and said, "I don't know how your father could've given such a sweet woman such as you to that monster." I said, "my father want's the blood to stay Kuran even though it would've been with him he will never allow me to be with someone who doesn't have Kuran blood flowing through them Kaname and I will never truly be happy like you."

Kaname looked sad and I said, "Kaname senpai I didn't mean to upset you." He looked at me and said, "it is all right Tsubaki." I hugged him again and said, "I will protect Yuki with my life Kaname and you can use me as your shield as well, I will protect you both with my life need be." "I could never ask for your life, Tsubaki thank you for being my friend in these dark times," Kaname said. I held Kaname as he cried I felt tears dripping down my face. Damn that Rido if it hadn't been for him Kaname and Yuki wouldn't have to go through this. That's why I am glad we get to attend the new night class at Cross Academy where we can always watch over Yuki.

The night class as been established and new students will being joining. Aido Hanabusa, Kain Akatsuki, Ruka Souen, Ichijou Takuma, Shiki Senri, Seiren, Toya Rima and other students. I am upstairs with Kaname talking to him. I asked, "so do you think this will really work trying to show there can be peace between vampires and humans?" Kaname said, "yes I do and what don't you trust me Tsubaki?" I said, "Kaname I trust you, but I'm just not sure if I trust your motives." Kaname gave me a look that could kill and I said, "Kaname senpai I apologize I should trust you in every way you know what's right to do."

His anger in his eyes faded and he said, "I forgive you Tsubaki because you are my family, but next time I won't be so lineate." I bowed to him and I left his room and I was walking down the hallway and I bumped into Ichijou, he looked at my face and he said, "did you say something to upset President Kuran again Tsubaki?" I said, "I might have, I may be part of his blood and the same age as him, but he keep's on insisting on treating me like a child I am a pureblood and should be able to do as I please." Kaname came out of his room and I saw the anger in his eyes and he slapped me across the face and said, "you may be a pureblood and part of my blood Tsubaki but while you are here you will follow my orders and my lead understood?" I said, "yes Kaname senpai I am sorry." Kaname said, "I am glad we understand each other now go with Ichijou and check on the other new students." I bowed to him and Ichijou and I walked away and Kaname went back into his room.

The others were sitting down on couches and they finished their entrance papers. I said, "are you finished with your papers so I may give them to Kaname senpai?" Aido saw my face and he clenched his fist and asked, "why do keep letting Kaname slap you and push you around Tsubaki you are a pureblood and of his blood." I felt a presence and I knew Kaname was watching me. I said, "I may be those things but I am to serve Kaname and I will do as he ask and he will do as he pleases with me I am just his chest piece to him and he is free to move around where he want's to. Now please give me the papers so I can give them to Kaname senpai." Kaname went back to his room. They handed me the papers and Ichijou said, "do you want me to give them to him?" I said, "he will get angry if I don't give them to him Ichijou, thanks for offering though and there is no need to come with me, you don't have to protect me all the time Ichijou." I kissed his cheek and I walked back upstairs. I knocked on Kaname's door and he said, "come in Tsubaki." I opened the door and said, "here are the entrance papers President Kuran." I handed them to him and our hands brushed and he knew I was troubled and that my hands were trembling when I handed the papers to him. I said, "if there is nothing else may I take my leave?"

Kaname said, "sit down for me Tsubaki." I sat down in front of him and he asked, "what is troubling you?" I said, "nothing President Kuran." "You don't have to call me that you know you aloud to call me Kaname," he said. I said, "to me it feels better calling you that, since,…" "Since what finish you sentence Tsubaki," Kaname said. I said, "to me my life seems meaningless to you and I feel like a chest piece you can just move around where you want me to go." Kaname didn't say anything and I stood up and he said, "sit back down now." I didn't and my eyes glowed red and I put my hands on his desk and split it down the middle and I said, "I'm going to my room for a while Kaname." I turned my back on him and walked towards his door but Kaname got there before me and grabbed my arm and threw me on the ground. I stood up and my arm was bleeding. I said, "so this is how you want it to end your going to kill you own flesh and blood Kaname!"

His eyes glowed red and I felt the anger coming from them and the wound on my arm closed. I broke the glass on his window and the pieces shattered all over the floor. Kaname walked over towards me and grabbed me and said, "Tsubaki calm down this instance!" I said, "no you have misused me and you treat me like a little girl all the time, why do you do that Kaname I am as old as you why do you do this to me?" I felt tears dripping down my face and Kaname let me go and looked at me and his eyes softened and he said, "because I have all ready lost the most precious thing to me in the world and I almost lost you to that monster Tsubaki don't let me loose anymore of my family please." I said, "Kaname senpai I am sorry."

I ran over to him and hugged him and cried into his chest and he looked down at me and wiped away my tears and said, "don't cry Tsubaki, it's just you and Yuki are all I left please don't let me loose either of you." I said, "you won't I will always be beside Kaname senpai's side." He hugged me back and I walked over to his desk and I fixed it and his window and I said, "I'm sorry once again and I have fixed the mess I made too." Kaname said, "you are forgiven and you may go now." I opened the door and I closed the door and I leaned against it and still more tears fell down my face and Kaname was leaning on the other side of the door and felt my pain and he felt bad for causing it, but he might get angry with me once again.

The next night Yuki came over to the dormitory. She opened the door and saw Ichijou. He asked, "Yuki chan what are you doing here?" She said, "I came to see Tsubaki and Kaname senpai." Ichijou said, "well they are both out right now on business and I'm not sure when they will be back Yuki. You should go home there are dangerous things outside at night even though you are safe at this school." Ichijou showed her out and closed the door, but Yuki didn't leave and opened the door again and sat down on the steps to wait for us to come back. She eventually fell asleep and Kaname and I came back and saw her on the steps.

Kaname said, "she shouldn't come to such a dangerous place by herself, Tsubaki take her to your room." I said, "all right." I picked her up and carried her upstairs and I laid her down on my bed. I sat beside the bed to wait for her to wake up, Yuki woke up and saw me. I said, "Yuki what were you doing here by yourself it's dangerous when Kaname and I aren't here?" Yuki said, "I wanted to come talk to you two." I said, "next time don't do something so foolish and come by yourself, now I must see you home." I stood up and put out my hand and Yuki got off the bed and took my hand. We left my room and we ran into Kaname and he said, "where are you going Tsubaki?"

I said, "I'm taking her home Kaname senpai." "All right Tsubaki and Yuki next time don't come alone, if you want to come over get the chairman to bring you over ok?" Yuki said, "yes Kaname senpai and I am sorry for coming alone I will never do it again Kaname and Tsubaki." I hugged her tightly and so did Kaname and I said, "come on let's get you home sweetie." She waved good bye to Kaname and we walked downstairs and we walking outside and as we were walking I saw Zero. I said, "hello Zero I came to bring Yuki home." Zero said, "thank you Tsubaki senpai I can take her back home now." I said, "all right and Yuki remember what Kaname and I told you." I gave her a hug and she took Zero's hand and I waved goodbye to the both of them they walked away and I watched them walk away. I turned around and saw Aido and said, "hello Aido can I help you with something?" He asked, "why are you so nice to that child?" I said, "Yuki is my friend and you shouldn't be asking questions about her." Aido said, "but Tsubaki,…" he looked at my eyes and I was glaring at him and he said, "sorry Tsubaki" and he walked back to the dorm. I headed back that way as well and I walked over the bridge and I stopped and looked at the water. I looked over and saw Kaname and I said, "Kaname what's wrong?" He said, "I just came to check on you that's all." I said, "I'm fine I guess we should go back now Kaname." We walked back to the dorm and I opened the door and let Kaname go in first and then I walked in and closed the door.

I sat down on a couch and Kaname walked upstairs and Ichijou walked into the room and he sat next to me and he pulled me close to him and I kissed him on the lips. Ichijou deepened the kiss and pulled me even closer to him. As were kissing Kaname came back downstairs to ask me something and he saw Ichijou kissing me. I felt Kaname's presence and Ichijou and I broke apart and we saw Kaname and he didn't look happy. He said, "Ichijou leave right now!" Ichijou stood up, but he didn't want to leave and I said, "Ichijou it's best if you leave right now." Ichijou left and I stood up and faced Kaname and he looked at me. His eyes were showing anger and he said, "why was he kissing you?" I said, "Ichijou and I like each other Kaname senpai." He said, "well I don't want you near him so stay away from him!" I said, "but Kaname,…" he slapped me and said, "just do as I say Tsubaki and now go to your room." I bowed to him and I walked upstairs and I went to my room. Kaname stood there and felt bad that he slapped me and he walked upstairs and went to his room and laid down on his bed and a few tears fell down his cheeks.

I'm in my room lying on my bed and I haven't left my room for three days. I was also pissed at Kaname for what he told me, I didn't want to be apart from Ichijou I loved him. Kaname is in his office and his angry that I haven't come out of my room yet and he asked, "Aido go check on Tsubaki and see what is wrong with her?" He said, "but Ichijou all ready left to go check on her." Kaname looked angry and walked out of his room and down the hallway to mine. Ichijou was in my room holding me in his arms as I cried into his chest. Kaname opened my door and saw Ichijou holding me. He pulled him away from me and I said, "Kaname please don't hurt him, he was trying to comfort me." Kaname slapped me and said, "get dressed and get out of your room Tsubaki you have things for me to do!" I picked up some clothes and walked into the bathroom and I changed out of my nightgown and put on my clean clothes. I came out of the bathroom and Kaname grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room. We went to his room and he sat me down on the couch and he stood behind me. He asked, "what was Ichijou doing in your room?" I said, "he is my friend and he was trying to comfort me that's all." Kaname said, "then why do I have the feeling you are lying to me Tsubaki?" "I'm not nothing is going on. If your aloud to be with someone I can to," I said. Kaname said, "but he is not a pureblood or a Kuran, Tsubaki it isn't right." I said, "you sound to much like my damn father I will be with who I choose and it sounds like you wanted me to be with Rido."

I stood up and Kaname sat me back down and said, "I didn't want you to be with him, but you are to listen to me or do you want to go back to your father Tsubaki?" I said, "please Kaname senpai don't send me back to him." "I won't but stay away from Ichijou from now on like I told you before Tsubaki," Kaname said. I stood up and I walked out of his room and Ichijou saw the sad look on my face and said, "what did he do now Tsubaki?" I said, "he said we can't be together anymore, I don't know if I can stay here anymore with him if he his going to keep treating me like this. I hate him how can he treat me like this his own flesh and blood he is just as bad as my father, I don't want to be with another Kuran I want to be with you Ichijou." I hugged him and cried into his chest and Ichijou took me downstairs.

Aido saw me crying and he helped Ichijou sit me down and they both sat next to me. Kain was upset as well and so was Ruka she is my best friend. Kain said, "what did he do now?" Aido said, "he must have told her she can't be with Ichijou anymore." I was crying on Ichijou's shoulder and he had his arm around me and Aido was lying his head on my shoulder and had comforting hand on top of my hand. Ruka said, "how can he do this to you?" I said, "he is aloud to because I am living with him now and I have to obey him now, even though he doesn't care about my feelings, I'm going back to my room now and Ichijou I think it's best if you stay here." I stood up and walked upstairs and down the hallway to my room. I was crying all the way there and Kaname could hear me crying. I threw myself down on my bed and cried into my pillow. I had to go see someone and I decided I would go see Kaien. I got off of my bed and I opened my window and I jumped out. I snuck around the school and I ran to his office. I was crying again and I knocked on the door and he opened it and he knew I was upset with Kaname.

We sat down and he gave me some hot tea. I said, "what would you say if I thought about leaving here?" Kaien said, "you would only hurt Kaname if you left." I said, "I know but he can't feel all the pain I am going though and he doesn't seem to care about my happiness anymore and I love him like he is my own brother, but he doesn't seem to love me like a sister anymore, I want it back the way it used to be." "You know it will never be like that again Tsubaki," Kaien said. I heard someone coming and Yuki opened the door and saw me. She said, "Tsubaki senpai!" she ran over to me and I stood up and she hugged me and I hugged her back. I said, "how are you doing Yuki?" She said, "good and I am so happy you are here Tsubaki." I saw Zero and I said, "Zero you have grown since the last time I saw you. Your what eight now?" He said, "yes I am, now I must go." Z

Zero walked away and Yuki asked, "can you take me to see Kaname senpai?" I said, "sure anything for you Yuki." I took her hand and led her back to the dormitory. She said, "Tsubaki you seem sad today?" I said, "I'm fine don't worry about me so much Yuki." I smiled at her and she smiled back and we reached the dormitory. I opened the door and everyone saw me with Yuki and I said, "she wanted to come to see Kaname senpai." I took her upstairs and I knocked on his door and he opened it. He saw me holding Yuki's hand and he moved out of the way so we could come into his room. We sat down on the couch and Yuki was playing with my hair. She said, "I want long hair like you Tsubaki someday." I said, "you would look really beautiful with long hair Yuki." She said, "Kaname senpai come sit with us." He walked over to the couch and sat next to Yuki and she hugged him and I said, "Yuki I am very sleepy and I must go to sleep I have a big day tomorrow, so you can stay here with Kaname, he will take you home." Yuki said, "all right Tsubaki senpai." I stood up and I left the room and walked down the hallway to mine. I saw Ichijou standing outside my door and I said, "you better go before Kaname see's you." He said, "I don't care I want to be with you." He took my hand and he took me down the hallway to his room. He opened the door and then closed it. I sat down on his bed and he sat next to me and pulled me close to him and he kissed me on the lips.

Kaname took Yuki home because she was tired and he came back and he wanted to check on me and I wasn't in my room. He walked downstairs and he asked, "Aido have you've seen Tsubaki?" He said, "no I haven't." Kaname was about to go ask Kain until he smelled a familiar blood and it was mine. Ichijou was drinking my blood and Kaname ran upstairs and when he didn't see Ichijou and he ran down the hallway to his room. He opened the door and saw Ichijou drinking my blood. He said, "Ichijou stop you have no right drinking from a pureblood." He pulled Ichijou away from me and the wound closed and I wiped the excess blood off of his lips with my finger and I put my finger in Ichijou's mouth and licked the blood off my finger. Kaname said, "Tsubaki stop it right now"

I could hear the window cracking and I said, "no Kaname if I want to be with him I can and I choose to be with Ichijou and if you have a problem with it talk to my father." Ichijou said, "my grandfather as talked to her father and say's it's ok for us to be together, since her father respects my grandfather and want's his daughter happy unlike you Kaname." He said, "ok fine I cannot disobey your grandfather or your father so you may be together and Tsubaki I am sorry I should let you be happy even though I am not I am so alone in this world." I stood up and I hugged him and said, "you still have me cousin and I will never leave your side and neither will anyone at this school."

Kaname hugged me back and said, "thank you for being so good to me even though I don't deserve it Tsubaki." I hugged him again and said, "for now we must trust each other and share our feelings together and you must stop treating me like a child Kaname I am a grown woman now and I can take care of myself you don't have to protect me all the time Kaname senpai." He said, "all right, but I still want to watch out for you all right and Yuki." I said, "that's all I ask I forgive you let's prove to this world that vampires and humans can live in peace together." I let go of Kaname and he smiled at me and I smiled back at him. Soon the school would open and the night class will start and we will move to the new Moon Dormitory.

Ten years have gone by and Yuki is seventeen and Zero is eighteen and they are guardians of the school and they have to prevent the day students from over crowding the night class students. The girls are shouting wild idol and all other sorts of names. The doors open and we walk out and I am walking next to Kaname and we both wave to Yuki and she wave's back and Zero see's me. I smile at him and he look's away and Ichijou put's his arm around my waist. Nobody in the day class know's we are all vampires and Kaname and I are the only pureblood vampires here. We walk into class and I sit next to Kaname and Ichijou is sitting next to Aido and Shiki is next to Rima and Kain and Ruka are sitting next to each other and Seiren is standing next to Kaname and I. The teacher come's in and said, "let the night class begin." All of our eyes glow red and if anyone would walk into the room it would freak them out.

Afterwards, Kaname, Ichijou and I are outside by the fountain talking and I see Yuki. I said, "hello Yuki" she said, "hello Kaname senpai, Tsubaki senpai and Ichijou senpai." I gave her a big hug and Kaname hugged her and Ichijou said, "so how are you doing Yuki?" She said, "good and are you talking good care of Tsubaki?" "Yes I am I love Tsubaki very much," Ichijou said. I felt like someone was watching us and I said, "you can come out I know your watching us Kiryu." Zero came out of the woods and Kaname said, "Kiryu what are you doing?" He said, "keeping a eye out for Yuki she may trust you vampires but I don't."

I said, "Kaname senpai would never hurt her neither would I." Zero said, "shut up vampire you are nothing but all blood sucking creatures from hell." Kaname glared at Zero and said, "you will not speak to someone from my family like that Kiryu." Zero said, "she is a Kuran too?" I said, "yes I am Kaname senpai's cousin." Ichijou said, "I also don't appreciate how you look at Tsubaki, Kiryu." Zero said, "why should you care how I look at her?" Yuki said, "Zero stop this right now they are my friends and Tsubaki is with Ichijou and I don't appreciate how you talk to her or Kaname or Ichijou!" Zero said, "I'm going you coming Yuki." She said, "yes, I will see you later Kaname, Tsubaki and Ichijou."

Yuki left with him and I said, "Kaname why do you stand by at let that man be around Yuki, I can tell he as feelings for her." Kaname said, "I let him live because he won't betray Yuki so he is actually protecting her and I need someone to protect her Tsubaki and someone to watch out for her during the day since we are not aloud out of the dormitory." I said, "Kaname senpai I trust you and I hope I know what you are doing, but I will follow where ever you lead and I trust you." Kaname said, "thank you Tsubaki senpai, now let's get back to the dorm the sun is almost going to rise." The three of us headed back to the dorm and Kain, Aido and Ruka were talking. Kain said, "Tsubaki did you guys have a good talk with Yuki?" I said, "it was good until Kiryu showed up." Aido said, "I can't stand him I don't understand why Kaname lets him around her he is so scary and I don't trust him." Kaname looked at Aido and I said, "Aido you should shut up now before you get into more trouble and you all should trust Kaname, I know he know's what he's doing and I will stand by him on all his decisions you all should." Kaname said, "thank you Tsubaki you and Ichijou may do what you like tonight I will not bother you two tonight." I hugged Kaname and said, "thank you cousin."

Ichijou and I walked hand in hand upstairs and we walked down the hallway to his room. Kaname walked upstairs and went to his room. Kain said, "Aido you always making president Kuran mad at you." Aido said, "shut up, shut up, shut up!" Aido stood up and left and Ruka said, "I still can't understand how you two are related again." Kain put his hand to his head and said, "I don't know I didn't know Kaname and Tsubaki were related when I first saw them. They were just so different until I saw their eyes and when they were both mad at Aido I could see the same death glare it was really scary." Ruka said, "the great Kain scared of two purebloods." Kain said, "Kaname and Tsubaki are two of the most powerful purebloods around and I think they are the only purebloods left so we should respect both of them and their decisions." I walked downstairs and I sat next to Ruka and I asked, "so Kain why were you talking about me and Kaname?" Kain said, "you could hear me?" I said, "I'm not mad it just better have not been anything bad?" Ruka said, "no it wasn't he just said we should trust Kaname and the decision you guys make and respect both of you."

I said, "Kain that was a very nice thing for you to say, at least you don't say idiotic things like Aido senpai." "I heard that Tsubaki," Aido said. I said, "you were supposed to." Aido walked down the hall and sat next to Kain and said, "I want to ask you something Tsubaki, but can we go some where else?" I said, "sure follow me." I stood up and so did Aido and we walked upstairs and stood by a window in the hallway. I said, "what do you want to ask me and do you realize I might not answer the question." Aido said, "yes I do, my question is what is Yuki Cross to you and Kaname?" I said, "Aido I can't answer that and you shouldn't be asking those kinds of questions." I walked away and Aido ran after me and said, "why is she so important to you guys?" I said, "Aido that is enough you can know nothing about Yuki,…" I saw Kaname and he slapped Aido and said, "I told you before Aido you are not to ask questions about Yuki to Tsubaki or me and in the near future don't ask Tsubaki any questions." Aido said, "sorry Kaname senpai, Tsubaki senpai I will leave you two now." Aido walked down the hallway and to his room. Kaname looked at me and I followed him to his room I sat down on his couch and he sat next to me and he had his hand on his head. I looked worried and he said, "Tsubaki don't look at me with those worried eyes I am all right." I said, "sorry but you do worry me sometimes Kaname it seems to me your not getting enough sleep or feeding enough, if you ever need any blood you can drink from me."

Kaname said, "I'm fine I just have a lot on my mind and I have been drinking enough, but thanks for the offer and thank you for always looking out for me Tsubaki." I said, "your welcome Kaname senpai, but I have a feeling you want to ask me something?" He said, "yes I do, I want you to go into town and hunt down a level E vampire that is on a killing rampage, he is killing young teenage girls." I said, "yes Kaname senpai." He handed me a piece of paper and said, "try not to make it to messy Tsubaki." I said, "yes Kaname senpai I will leave right now." I was in my night class uniform and I didn't have time to change. I walked downstairs and Ichijou saw me and asked, "where are you going Tsubaki?" I said, "to go hunt a level E vampire I will be right back." "Do you want any of us to go with you?" Ichijou asked. I said, "no it's just one vampire I can handle it."

I kissed his cheek and I opened the door and I headed into town. What I didn't know was that Zero Kiryu was being sent to hunt the same vampire. I came to a building that was run down and I smelled blood. I walked inside and upstairs I found the vampire in the hallway feeding off a girl. He said, "you are a vampire coming to kill me?" I said, "I will kill you filthy level E." My eyes grew red and he could feel the power within me and I was looking at him and before I could kill him I heard a gun shut and he turned to dust. My eyes turned back to their normal color and I saw Zero Kiryu. I said, "what are you doing here? I was sent to kill the vampire." Zero said, "so was I vampire!"

I said, "what is your problem Zero?" He said, "you are and the rest of your kind none of you deserve to live." He pointed the gun at me and I said, "you really think you could kill me a pureblood." Zero said, "probably not but I can try." He tried to shoot at me but I moved to fast and his bullet missed me. I came up behind him and grabbed his gun and I took it from him. I said, "oh I see you have the bloody rose gun, I don't like this gun." Zero said, "give it back vampire." I said "make me hunter." Zero tried to grab it back but I moved to quick and Zero ran after me and tackled me to the ground. He tried to grab his gun and he did and the trigger went off and it hit me in the leg. Blood was coming out of my leg and I said, "you bastard that fucking hurt!" Zero said, "the pain will stop soon." I couldn't move and he fired the gun again and hit my stomach. Blood was seeping out of my stomach and leg and Zero said, "I thought all purebloods were supposed to be powerful."

My eyes glowed red and I broke the window by his head and the glass shattered every where. When Zero was blocking his face from the glass I took my other leg and I tripped him and his gun went down the hallway I barely stood up and I put my good leg on top of his chest while holding my hand over my stomach and said, "Kaname senpai is letting you live because you can protect Yuki and I'm sure he as all ready told you this, he may trust you, but I don't not what after you did to me, stay the hell away from me or I will kill you." I kicked him in the face with my foot and I barely got down the stairs I was loosing to much blood in my leg and stomach. Kaname sent Ichijou to come check on me since I was gone a long time. Ichijou came to the building and saw me coming down the stairs and I was about to pass out he saw my leg and stomach and all the blood.

He caught me before I fell and I said, "get me to Kaname quick only he can replenish me." Ichijou ran as fast as he could back to the school he knocked on the door and Ruka opened the door and saw Ichijou carrying me. Ruka said, "what happened?" Ichijou said, "I don't know we can ask later." Blood was coming out of my mouth and blood was dripping on the floor every where. They carried me upstairs and everyone could smell blood and before Ruka could open Kaname's door. He opened it and took me from Ichijou and carried me into his room and laid me down on his couch. He looked at my leg and my stomach and took the bullet out of my leg and stomach and I screamed.

He looked at the bullet, it was from Zero's bloody rose gun. Ichijou said, "what happened?" Kaname said, "apparently Kiryu was sent to kill the vampire as well and Tsubaki and him must have gotten into a scrape." Ichijou grabbed a towel out of Kaname's bathroom and came back and put it over my leg and Kaname held a towel over my stomach. Kaname bit into his wrist and put it over my mouth and I could barely drink it but Kaname forced most of it down my throat. I passed out afterwards, Ichijou stayed in the room with me and had his head down on the couch by my head and Kaname stood by the couch.

I opened my eyes about a hour later and my red eyes met another pair of red eyes and I saw that it was Kaname and he had a sad look on his face. He moved my hair out of my face and said, "how are you feeling Tsubaki?" I said, "I feel lucky to be alive thank you Kaname senpai." He kissed my forehead and said, "I will save you any day cousin and I will deal with Kiryu." I knew Kaname was angry what Zero did and that he wouldn't kill Zero even though he would like too.

Ichijou picked up his head from the couch and I looked at him and he kissed me and said, "are you all right?" I said, "fine thanks to Kaname." Yuki came running into the room and ran over to me and kneeled by the couch and said, "are you all right Tsubaki senpai?" I said, "I'm fine Yuki" I sat up and she sat on the couch next to me and I hugged her. She said, "I am sorry Zero did this the Chairman is talking to him right now." Kaname said, "I am going to have a word with Zero." Kaname left and said, "Kaname won't hurt Zero don't worry Yuki." Ichijou said, "you leg is all healed Tsubaki." I said, "Yuki why don't we go outside for some fresh air an Ichijou join us." The three of us went outside and sat down by the fountain.

Kaname was waiting for Zero and as soon as he saw him he grabbed Zero by his shirt and pushed him up against a wall. Kaname said, "why did you attack Tsubaki?" Zero said, "I am a vampire hunter and she is a vampire." "Well she is my cousin and a pureblood and Kuran and you will stay away from her in the near future. I'm only letting to live because you won't betray Yuki and you can help me protect her, but hurt Tsubaki again I might not be so generous next time." Kaname let him go and walked away. Zero fixed his shirt and he felt pain in his neck and Kaien walked down the hallway and said, "the attacks are getting worse Zero and word of advice stay away from Tsubaki and don't get on Kaname's bad side again, she is all the family he as left and he care's a great deal for her and he will do anything to protect the ones he loves." Zero stood up and walked away and Kaien walked down to his office. Kaname found, Yuki, Ichijou and I outside by the fountain. Kaname said, "Yuki you should get home it's getting late." Yuki said, "yes Kaname senpai, but can I come see Tsubaki tomorrow?" Kaname said, "that would be fine meet us out here tomorrow night." Yuki hugged me and Kaname and she left. Kaname said, "Tsubaki I will have someone with you next time I am sorry I put you in danger." I said, "Kaname it's not your fault you didn't know he would be there, so don't blame yourself." I stood up and looked at him and his eyes were sad and he said, "thank you Tsubaki your just to kind to me all the time." I hugged him and said, "you are my cousin and we have to look out for each other." He hugged me back and I said, "she will be with you soon Kaname I know she will, you'll know when the time is right." Ichijou said, "come on love let's go inside and why don't you get some rest." I said, "all right" Ichijou took me inside and Kaname was sad and he hoped he wouldn't be alone anymore.

I was standing outside the next evening with Kaname waiting for Yuki. I looked at Kaname and he had a sad look in his eyes and I asked, "what's wrong Kaname?" He looked at me and I looked at him with worried and sad eyes and he said, "I was just so scared and I thought I might have almost lost you yesterday and I don't think I could ever handle it if I did loose you Tsubaki." I said, "Kaname" I felt my tears falling down my cheeks and I hugged him and he hugged me back. He saw Yuki coming and we broke apart and I said, "hello Yuki." I wiped the tears from my face and she asked, "what's wrong Tsubaki?" I said, "nothing I'm fine, so what do you want to do tonight?" Yuki said, "I just wanted to ask you guys some questions?" Kaname said, "sure go ahead and we will answer them if we can." Yuki said, "I have been getting these flash backs and I saw Tsubaki and then one of a strange woman and one of you Kaname. What do they mean? Are you and Tsubaki part of my past? You must tell me." I said, "Yuki I'm not sure if we can tell you anything." She said, "but you do know something why won't you tell me?" Kaname said, "we cannot tell you, just as of yet Yuki but maybe another time Yuki." She looked sad and I hugged her and said, "it's just to painful to tell you." Kaname and I wanted to tell her but we know we couldn't until he turned her back into a pureblood.

The dance for school is coming up soon and I know Kaname is going to ask Yuki to come with him and I also think that's why he left the dorm with Ichijou this morning. I'm sitting in Kaname's room going through the paper work he told me to go through. I hear someone knock on the door and I said, "come in." I see that it's Shiki and he sat down in front of me and I put the papers in a drawer. I said, "what do you need Shiki? If you are here to talk to Kaname he's out right now." Shiki said, "no I came to talk to you about something?" I said, "what do you need?" He said, "I want to ask Rima to the dance but I get nervous every time I ask her and I was wondering if you can help me?" I said, "do you want me to ask Rima if she will go with you?" He said, "maybe could you do that?" I said, "no but I can help you to ask her if you want?" I stood up and I had Shiki follow me and we walked downstairs and saw Rima.

He said, "Rima excuse me if your not to busy Shiki would like to ask you something?" Rima said, "what is it Shiki?" He said, "well I was wondering if you would go to the dance with me?" I said, "now was it that hard to ask her Shiki. Rima he was nervous about asking you to the dance, but I told him that he should just come straight out with the question and ask you." Rima said, "yes Shiki I will go with you and you shouldn't have been nervous to ask me to go with you I wouldn't have said no." Rima walked over to him and kissed his cheek and took his hand they sat down together. I smiled and walked back upstairs and back upstairs to Kaname's room and I got out the paper work I was working on for him.

I was just finishing it up when Kaname came back into his room. I said, "Kaname senpai I finished the work you wanted me to work on." He said, "thank you and you may go Tsubaki." I said, "if you don't mind me asking how did it go with Yuki?" He said, "good and she said that she will be there and dance with me." I said, "good now I will leave you so you can go about your business." I stood up and walked towards the door and Kaname stopped me and I said, "what is it Kaname?" He said, "I was just wondering how you and Ichijou are doing?" I said, "we are doing great thanks for asking Kaname senpai." I gave him a quick hug and I opened his door and walked out of his room and shut the door. Kaname sat down on his couch to think about things.

I walked downstairs and I saw Ichijou and I ran over to him and threw my arms around him and kissed him. I looked at him and I asked, "what's wrong Ichijou?" He said, "nothing I just have things on my mind, what are you wearing to the dance?" I said, "Ichijou I can't tell you it's a surprise you will have to wait until tomorrow night to find out." He looked sad and I kissed him on the lips and I took his hand and led him upstairs and to my room, he knew what I wanted to do. Ichijou closed the door and we headed towards the bed.

The next night I was getting ready for the dance. I brushed my hair and put it up and curled some of it and I put on makeup and tear drop diamond earrings and I put on a long white gown with three red straps in the back the rest of my back was bare I put on a white wrap and I put on white high heel shoes. I opened my door and I saw Ichijou and all the night class guys were all just wearing their nigh class uniforms. I put a rose on Ichijou's left chest. He kissed my cheek and said, "you look beautiful Tsubaki." I said, "thank you." I heard someone say, "I agree with him you look beautiful cousin." I saw Kaname and I said, "thank you Kaname and did you send that dress I gave you to Yuki?"

He said, "yes I did I hope she wear's it" I said, "I'm sure she will Kaname." I gave him my pink dress that was short in the front that went to the knees and was long in the back and it had long sleeves and I bought it for Yuki a couple of weeks ago and Kaname went along and he picked it out, it is a really beautiful dress. Everyone in the class left and went to the ballroom and I saw everyone and they were enjoying themselves. I saw Zero and I waved to him and he smiled back at me. I saw Kaien and he said, "Tsubaki you look beautiful." I said, "why does everyone keep telling me that?" I heard someone say, "because you are Tsubaki." I saw Zero and I said, "thank you Zero senpai" I blushed and luckily Ichijou was talking to Kain right now. Zero asked, "can I dance with you later?" I said, "yes you may I will come get you later Zero for the dance."

I smiled at him and walked away and walked over to Ichijou and we started to dance. Yuki came in and I saw her in the dress and she looked beautiful. Yuki asked, "Kain senpai have you've seen Kaname?" He said, "he is alone the terrace." Yuki said, "thank you" she walked away and found Kaname on the terrace. Kaname saw Yuki and said, "you look beautiful Yuki." She said, "thank you Kaname senpai and for the dress." Kaname said, "well I picked it out, but Tsubaki bought it for you Yuki." She said, "I have to go thank her." Kaname grabbed her hand and said, "you can thank her later, let's dance together first." Yuki and Kaname started to dance and I was watching them and they looked so happy. I was talking to Ruka when Zero walked over to me and said, "can I have this dance Tsubaki?" He put out his hand I put my hand in his. Ruka watched as Zero lead me onto the dance floor. He put his arm around my waist and I put my left hand on his left shoulder and my right hand in his. As we were dancing Ichijou was talking to Shiki and he said, "Ichijou isn't that Kiryu Zero dancing with Tsubaki?" Ichijou looked over and saw Zero dancing with me and he was angry and he was walking towards us, when Shiki stopped them and he said, "come on Ichijou it's one dance and you know Kaname will be mad if you start a fight and especially if you yell at Tsubaki." Ichijou said, "all right I will let them have this one dance." Ichijou just stood there and watched Zero and I dance. After the song was over Ichijou was walking towards us. Zero said, "thank you for the dance Tsubaki."

He took my right hand in his and he kissed my hand and walked away. I watched him go until I saw Ichijou and he grabbed my arm and pulled me away. He took me out into the hallway and said, "why were you dancing with him?" I said, "Ichijou it was just one dance chill out it was no big deal were just friends can't friends dance together?" Ichijou said, "you may think your friends but I think Zero want's to be more then friends Tsubaki." I said, "don't worry Ichijou I love you not him and that's the way it will remain you are the only guy for me and you know it." Ichijou said, "I'm sorry I should trust you my love." I kissed him and we walked back into the ballroom.

After a few hours most of the people left, Kaname, Yuki, Zero, Ruka, Kain, Ichijou and I were the only one's still here and Kaien was around some where. Shiki, Rima and Aido left to go to sleep they were tired. Ichijou and I were talking to Ruka and Kain. Kaname and Yuki came in from the terrace and walked over to us and Kaname said, "I'm going to see Yuki home, you guys should soon get some rest." I said, "all right Kaname senpai" Kaname and Yuki left and Kain and Ruka left as well and Ichijou was leaving and I wasn't. I said, "I'm going to get a drink before I go, you go ahead Ichijou I will see you in a few minutes."

He said, "all right but don't be long." He kissed my cheek and walked away. I saw Zero and he grabbed my hand and he took me to the back of the ballroom and into the storage closet. He pushed me up against the door and kissed me. I kissed him back and he deepened the kiss and he began to kiss down my neck. I saw his eyes glow red and I said, "Zero you can't Ichijou will notice." Zero said, "Tsubaki please won't the fang marks disappear?" I said, "yes, but he could still possibly smell you on me if he goes near my neck." He pulled away from me and asked, "why don't you just leave him and be with me Tsubaki." I said, "I don't know I care for him a great deal, but I don't love him like I love you Zero." I pulled him back to me and put his head by my neck and said, "do it Zero I want you to." I felt him lick my neck and his fangs sank into my neck. Kaname was coming back from taking Yuki home and he could smell my blood, but he saw Ichijou sitting on the couch. He walked back into the ballroom and he could smell my blood in the storage closet.

He opened the door and he saw me and he asked, "are you ok Tsubaki I could smell your blood?" I said, "I'm fine I just cut my arm accidentally on a railing, I came in here so not many people could smell my blood, but apparently you still could." Kaname looked at my arm and the wound was all ready closed and I walked out of the closet with him and I said, "good night Kaname" he said, "good night." He walked upstairs and so did I and I was changing for bed and Ichijou walked in and he said, "what took you so long?" I said, "I hurt myself and I was in the storage closet trying to make sure not everyone smelled the blood while the wound closed and I licked my blood on my arm." Ichijou looked at my arm and saw that it was healed and said, "let's go to bed love." I kissed him and we got into bed and went to sleep.

Over the next couple of months Zero and I are still secretly seeing each other. Ichijou and I were having problems and I would always go Zero when we got into a fight. I'm in Zero's room and he is holding me and he said, "why don't you just break it off Tsubaki?" I said, "if I did he would get suspicious and you know that they would never let us be together, since your a vampire who almost turned to a level E Zero and I am a pureblood and only my blood and Kaname's can keep that from happening and if Kaname knew I was giving you my blood he would be angry." "I know but I love you and don't want to be apart from you," Zero said. I kissed him and I said, "I better get back before they notice I'm gone." Zero said, "I hate this sneaking around." I kissed him again and I got out of his bed and I started to put my clothes on. Zero kissed my neck and then turned my head towards him and kissed my lips.

I said, "I really need to go Zero I will see you tomorrow night at out usual spot ok." He said, "all right see you tomorrow night." I kissed him goodbye and put on the rest of my clothes and I opened my door and saw Kaien and he said, "if Kaname ever found out about you two." I said, "I know what he would do but I love Zero I thought I loved Ichijou but I don't." I left the dorm and I headed back to the moon dormitory. I was really happy and I was smiling and I opened the door and I didn't see anyone and I walked upstairs. I heard someone say, "where were you Tsubaki?" I turned around and saw Kaname and said, "Kaname senpai I was just out for a walk." Kaname said, "all right, but next time tell someone where you are going Ichijou was worried."

I said, "I'm sorry I will tell someone next time." Kaname said, "if Ichijou finds out you know what he will do don't you?" I said, "Kaname how did you,…" "I saw you two together and I don't mind that much, I would just end it before it goes to far Tsubaki," Kaname said. I said, "I guess your right it could never work out and my father would never approve Kaname I will break it off with Zero tomorrow night." Kaname said, "good and I'm not angry I just don't want to see you get hurt that's all." "I understand thank you Kaname senpai for looking out for me," I said. I walked upstairs and walked down the hallway to my room. I opened the door and Ichijou was sitting on my bed.

He asked, "where were you?" I said, "I just went for a walk I needed some fresh air." "That's fine I was just worried about you that's all," Ichijou said. I sat down next to him and I put my arms around his neck and he kissed me and he pushed me down gently against the bed. We made love and I was happy he didn't look at my neck because Zero fed off of me tonight and the wounds did close but Zero's smell was there and Ichijou would've been able to taste Zero if he drank my blood. Kaname will soon be alone again because something will happen that make's me disappear from his life.

A few weeks past and I couldn't break it off with Zero I was going to but I just couldn't and the worst was yet to come when I found out I was pregnant and I found it was Zero's. Kaname let me stay home from class that evening because I said I didn't feel good. I was leaving because of the child I was carrying and I wanted to protect Zero even if it meant hurting him. I packed a few things and I wrote Kaname a note and left it on his desk and I jumped out the window and I ran into the woods and off school grounds and into town. I don't know where I would go, but I would find a place some where.

The night class came back and Kaname went to his room and saw the note and it read, "Kaname senpai please forgive me but I can no longer stay here and I know I said I would always stay by your side but something as happened that I cannot change and if my father were to find out he would kill him and I want to protect him even though it means hurting him and you by me leaving. I am very sorry but you will never see me again Kaname I am sorry, love your cousin Tsubaki." Kaname crumbled up the note and threw it in the fire place and it burned up. He know why I left and he knew it was the right thing to do but he was sad because he now lost another part of his family.

I kept in contact with the chairman to let him know how I was doing and Ruka is the only other one who know's why I left I could've never told Yuki because I didn't want to hurt her either and no one would see me for another four years.

I came back to the school and I had a cloak on and the hood was up and I knocked on the chairman's door and he opened it. We walked into his office and I took down my hood and he said, "welcome back Tsubaki." I said, "yes I am back for good this time." I took off the cloak and I had my night class uniform on. Kaien sent Kaname a letter telling him of the new student and when he saw who it was he ran down to Kaien's office. He saw me and I stood up and he hugged me tightly and said, "you have come back cousin and is it for good?" I said, "yes Kaname senpai and I am sorry I hurt you." Kaname said, "all is forgiven I am just happy you are back, don't ever do that to me again." I said, "I won't and can you let me go I can't breathe." Kaname let me go and said, "sorry and there are going to be a lot of happy waiting to see you." I said, "I know let's go see them."
