In the morning Yuuki had returned and got ready with Mahiru. Yuuki showed Mahiru around the school then they went to class. Mahiru sat by Yuuki, and could feel someone starring at her all through class.

It was the same feeling as the night before. Mahiru was sure of it. It belonged to one of the guys sitting behind her.

It was first break. Whoever it was, by now they must know her secret. What were they going to do?

"Mahiru?" Yuuki said loudly snapping her friend awake.

"Oh, sorry Yuuki," Mahiru put on a fake smile.

Yuuki ran up to the level above them and grabbed a boy's hand and dragged him down to Mahiru. "Last night, this is the guy that we passed in the hallway. His name is Zero."

He glared at Mahiru. Hate was clearly in his eyes. So this was the one that was starring at her all class and the one that was different than the rest.

"Ah, Zero-kun…" Mahiru said.

"Don't call me that!" Zero shouted back. Everyone in class was staring at the trio.

"Ah…" Yuuki looked from Zero to Mahiru.

Zero grabbed Mahiru's sleeve and proceeded to pull her out of the classroom. Yuuki followed the pair. The classroom returned to normal once they had left.

"Go back into the classroom Yuuki," Zero instructed the girl, still holding onto Mahiru's sleeve.

"No Zero!" Yuuki protested, "I'm going to stay by Mahiru's side! She's my friend!"

Mahiru was getting tears in her eyes, "Yuuki, thank you!" You're my friend too!" she hugged the girl, making them both smile.

"Whatever," Zero sighed, and started down the hall to leave school.

"Zero! We need to get back to class!" Yuuki called after him.

He ignored her and left the school building. The two girls returned to the classroom and finished up their lessons for the day.

"Now off to my duty!" Yuuki said energetically, tugging on the band on her arm.

"Duty?" Mahiru asked.

"Oh, right," Yuuki looked nervous, "Zero and I are prefects. We make sure the Day Class doesn't interrupt the Night Class when they switch over to go to school," she explained.

"I'll come with you then," Mahiru followed her new friend to the Moon Dorms and stood quietly to the side as Yuuki tried to keep all the screaming girls back from the doors to the bridge that led to the dorms.

Mahiru felt a chill as all of the hair on her arms stood on end. She could feel someone important approaching the doors.

The doors flew open as the girls screamed even louder. Mahiru was frozen to the spot. A group of beautiful students came out of the doors. They all wore white school uniforms. Only one person however, stood out to her.

He was leading the rest of the students. He had dark brown, almost black hair. His blood brown eyes looked right into her own.

Every nerve on Mahiru's body was on end. Her old instincts were kicking in. She shook herself from his gaze and turned around. "Sorry Yuuki," she ran off into the near-by woods.

Mahiru ran until she hit the wall of the barrier of the school. She rested her back against the wall and slid down. One hand rested on her pounding chest while the other wrapped around her throat, trying to dispel the ancient instincts. Her breaths came in short gasps.

Darkness slowly crept over the campus as night came. She continued to sit against the wall. Her instincts had disappeared again, but now she was crying. Her secret had to be out by now. Her head pounded with every sob. The night students had to have known what she was, and probably told everyone.

Headmaster Cross would probably kick her out. The Zero guy would probably hate her even more. Yuuki would be mad, and not want to be friends anymore. And that one guy…

Mahiru finally pulled herself together after awhile. She'd run away before anything could happen. She stood up and took a step.

Whatever thought was in her head, was driven out. The smell of blood filled the air, then another. The second seemed familiar…Yuuki!

Mahiru ran with great speed towards the scent.
