Chapter 2

I walk up to the large iron gates which mark the entrance to Cross Academy, a prestigious school run by a man who happens to be the one who, from time to time, would watch over me and make sure that I was safe and had everything that I needed, carrying various bags and suitcases. I put my luggage down and jump over the gates, holding the hood to my black cloak which flutters behind me as I fall, revealing a white sundress. I land on the ground softly, making barely a sound as my feet hit the paved walkway. I cautiously look around to make sure that no one was around to see what I just did. I quietly push open the gates and bring my luggage onto the campus and close the gates once I have all of my belongings without making a single sound. Soon a young man approaches me wearing a black collared long sleeve shirt, white long-sleeved collared jacket with a matching vest which cannot be seen, a red tie, white pants, and black dress shoes. "Hello there, may I inquire on why you are here?" he says in a soft voice which shows intrigue. I look over at him in surprise just as a gust of wind blows down my hood, causing my hair to spill out of it and cascade down to my mid-thigh. "O-Oh!" I stutter, feeling extremely nervous in his presence, "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. I-I'm here to see someone named Kaname Kuran. D-Do you know who he is?" He smiles gently at me and places a hand upon his chest. "Well that would be me," he replies, "What do you need me for?" I reach into a small bag and take out a small envelope. I nervously walk over to him, my body slightly trembling with each step I take. I extend my arm out and he takes it from me.

With one swift motion he opens the envelope, removing the letter inside and reads it. As he reads a smile forms on his lips. He then adverts his gaze from the letter and looks at me, who is distracted by a bird that just flew over my head. "Ah I see, so you're the new Night Class student." Kaname says with slight smile, "I'm the Night Class and Moon Dorm President." He extends his hand towards me. "Why don't you come with me and I'll take you to the Moon Dorm so you can unpack your things?" I cautiously take his hand then grab my belongings. He guides me to another large iron gate which opens up for him. We then head towards a large ornate building in the distance. I look around at the various vegetation lining the walkway to the dorm. Not paying attention, I trip over a rock and fall towards the ground. Kaname manages to catch me before I hit the ground. "Are you okay?" he inquires. I look up at him blushing as he helps me stand up. "I-I'm fine…" I mumble, feeling embarrassed that he caught me. "I'm glad. It would be awful if you got hurt on your first day here." he says with a smile on his face.

I walk over to the suitcases and bags I dropped when I tripped and see that some of them have opened up. I let out a small sigh as I kneel down and start putting some of my clothes and other various personal items back into the suitcases. Kaname walks over to me and assists me. He picks up a black and yellow striped bra and chuckles a little when he sees that it's an A cup. "Wow. I thought your bust was bigger than this." he says as he looks at me with a slight smile on his face. "Shut up!" I say blushing deeply as I snatch the bra out of his grasp, shoving it into the suitcase in front of me. I slam the large suitcase shut and move to another smaller one, continuing the process of placing the clothes back into the suitcases. "I can get someone to carry those for you." he says as he resumes picking up my clothes, only grabbing shirts and pants. "That would be fine." I reply immediately as I shut another suitcase. He snickers at the occasional panty he sees which I would quickly snatch up and swiftly shove into another suitcase. "Why do you have so many clothes?" Kaname asks as he shuts the last of the five suitcases that opened up out of the twelve that I brought with me. "Surely you don't need this many?" I mutter something then stand up grabbing a bag. "Go and get whoever will help me with my belongings please." I say in a quiet, almost sad tone. "Alright." Kaname responds back, "I'll be back shortly."

He turns around and heads out the entry way leading to the dorm. He comes back several minutes later with a young man with silver hair, his bangs slightly in front of his eyes, which are lavender-colored. He wears a uniform similar in appearance to Kaname's only in black. He also wears the red tie loosely with the several top buttons of his jacket undone, revealing the vest and a white armband with a symbol of a rose with a crescent moon in the center of it is pinned to his left sleeve about half-way down his arm. His ears are pierced, three silver earrings on the top of his right ear and two small silver hoops on the bottom of his left ear. He has a tattoo of the Hunter's Seal, which looks like a flower with daggers pointed towards the center of it, on the right side of his neck. "This is Zero Kiryu, a member of the Day Class." Kaname says as he makes a gesture with his hand towards the young man, "He is one of the Guardians on campus. His partner is busy on duty right now so she couldn't come and help him." "Could you please explain to me why the hell I'm helping this bitch?" Zero says to Kaname in an agitated tone. He glares at me and I move back a little, feeling a bit terrified of him. I bump into a suitcase and fall back landing on top of them. "Now Zero, be nice." Kaname says as he helps me stand up. "She just got here and she's really nervous. Please treat her kindly." He pulls me close, wrapping his arms around me as he gently presses my head against his chest. I blush deeply as he starts to stroke my head. "What are you doing that for?" Zero says feeling annoyed, "She didn't hit her head she landed on her ass!" "But it's inappropriate to rub her there." Kaname responds back as he looks into my eyes with a smile. "Right?"

My face turns completely red from embarrassment and I shove him away from me. "I-I'm fine! You don't have to treat me like I'm a child!" I exclaim, looking away from him. I look over at Zero and see the symbol on his neck. I walk over to him, getting closer. "Why do you have this?" I question as I reach towards his tattoo in curiosity. "Don't touch that!" he yells loudly as he slaps my hand away. I hold my hand and look into his eyes. My eyes widen in fear when I see the hatred in his. I back up into Kaname who holds me close to his body. "It's alright." Kaname says in a calm, soothing tone, "He's like that with everyone, but even more so towards people like you and me." He looks over at Zero with a serious look on his face. "Pick up her things and follow us. You don't have to help her unpack." Kaname holds onto my shoulders and takes me to the mansion-like building. We approach a pair of enormous mahogany doors that separates us from the inside of the dorm. He presses his hands against the doors and pushes them open. "Welcome to the Night Class and to your new home." he says with a grin on his face as the doors slowly swing open. I look around, my eyes wide in amazement and wonder. I walk in and see a large grand staircase which leads to the dorm rooms, a gigantic chandelier which hangs from the foyer ceiling, and a baby grand piano over by staircase.

I quickly run up the stairs and go down the left hallway and run down towards the end of it. I see large oak double doors at the end of the hall and run towards them. I stop before them and turn to the right seeing another slightly smaller oak door. I grab a hold of the silver doorknob and turn it. I push the door open and my eyes widen in surprise when I see the queen-sized canopy bed with white sheets. There's a pair of glass doors that lead to a balcony towards the back of the room. I walk into the room and advance towards the bed, running my hand along the soft silk sheets. I feel someone place their hand on my shoulder and I quickly turn my head to look at the person then see that it's Kaname. "You found your room awfully quick. How did you find it?" He asks with an inquisitive look in his face. "This place is built similar to my mansion." I explain, "This was where my room was back at home." I walk out of the room and head over to the large double doors, placing my hand on one of them. "And this would have been my parents' room." I say with a sad look on my face. Kaname grabs my hand gently. "Well that's my room." Kaname states. I look over at him and he takes my back into my room. Zero is in there holding my black and yellow striped bra. "You have a small chest like Yuki." Zero says with a slight laugh. "Hey!" I exclaim in rage, "Give that back!" I yank it from his grip and shove it into a dresser drawer. "You can leave now. I can unpack by myself." I say feeling flustered. "Whatever." Zero retorts in a nonchalant tone as he exits my room, heading back to where he was to finish his guardian duties. "I'll let you unpack." Kaname says to me as he lets go of my shoulder, heading toward the door, "Let me know if you need anything. " He leaves my room and goes into his. I start to unpack my things, putting them in the places I had them in my room at home seeing that it is the same exact layout. After two hours of unpacking I put the suitcases in the closet and walk over to the dresser then pull out a white night gown. I strip my clothes and put it on. I walk over to the bed and plop down onto it. I let out a sigh of relief and close my eyes, soon drifting off to sleep.
