*Here's a little spoiler/hint. Yuuki is very different from other purebloods. That's why her parents hid her, because the Senate wanted to kill her since she was a threat to them. And Rido wants to take her extraordinary powers for himself and take revenge on Hikaru and Juuri for marrying each other than have Juuri marry him.
*There's also going to be certain similarly to the Twilight series.
*Here's a twist, vampires don't kiss their lovers, they drink their blood as a token of their love for each other, so they don't know much about kissing.
*Keep in mind that Yuuki was raised differently than from the anime/manga, so she might have a slightly different personality.
*There's a little thing in the Vampire world called a 'Trial Engagement'. It's when two vampires become engaged at a young age and grow up together as friends in hopes they will fall in love. When the younger fiancé becomes of marrying age, they will both give their answer whether or not they will marry. If either answered no, then they won't be forced to marry and are free to marry someone else. Trial Engagements are rare in the present vampire world because of the rarity of purebloods. Both Yuuki and Kaname are trial engaged.
*Kaname has an amulet with the Kuran family seal (Which is a waning crescent moon in the center of a red rose) that limits his powers to that of a level B vampire to prevent any unnecessary damage by accident. When he takes it off, he has his full powers and has longer hair.
* The Daiya family seal is a sun in the center of a white rose.
*The Hooded Woman from the manga was a priestess to the sun goddess, Amaterasu and the Moon god Tsukuyomi, named Hikari before she became a vampire. When she became a vampire, she prayed to Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi to lift the cursed thirst for blood. They lessened it so that Hikari can only drink the blood of her lover and took away her ability to turn humans into vampires, and gave powers that no other vampire has. She sacrificed herself to make the vampire hunters, because of her unique powers.
*Rido was denied to be head of the Kuran family because of his ill treatment towards humans. After Rido drank Juuri's blood, he was banished to the watch of the Senate.
*A vampire has to drink several mouth-fills before they can get the powers of the pure-hearted maidens.

Episode 1
The Secret of the Night Class
Everybody started to go out of control once the students from the Moon Dorms came into view. I tried to get a good look at them, but every time I found a clear view, the others blocked it. "Okay! Is it just me, or does it seems like these guys are trying to keep from seeing the Night Class?" I asked frustrated. "They always do this whenever there's a new girl, because they're afraid that a Night Class student might fall for her." said a voice. Me and Yori turned to our right and saw a girl with glasses and light brown hair tried into two braided pigtails and two hair clips on the left side of her face. "Hey Nadashiko!" said Yori, "Yuuki this is our classmate and my roommate, Nadashiko Shindou." "It's nice to meet you Miss Franklin." Nadashiko said. "Just 'Yuuki'." I insisted, "And it's nice to meet you too."
"We can go over to the end over there to get a better view." Nadashiko said as she pointed to the end near the Moon Dorm's wall. "Let's hurry before they block that too." Yori suggested. We ran towards the end as fast as our legs could carry us. Luckily, we got there before we could be blocked just as the Night Class students started to walk to class.
Yori wasn't joking when she said the Night Class students are gorgeous. There were nothing but handsome boys and beautiful girls here. Their uniform was the same as ours except they were white with black diamond patterns and black rose buttons instead of black with white diamond patterns and white rose buttons. I noticed a few of them some various spots on the internet and television Japanese channels. Some of them were even singers and actors, others were models. "Wow, so they are celebrities!" I said to Yori and Nadashiko. "There not just celebrities," said Yori, "They're also the sons and daughters of famous businessmen and businesswomen, politicians, financers, and even noble families." "Whoa! So, these students are a higher class than us." I said. "Actually, no one knows how people are allowed into the Night Class." Nadashiko said. "And these girls think that those high class people would interested in a plain old girl like me?" I asked myself. I looked at every guy I could get my eyes on, but so far no good.
Then suddenly the screams got louder for some reason. A group of the (undoubtedly) best looking students came out. A bunches of girls pushed us from the back. "Hey! Control yourselves and don't push us around like we're rag dolls!" I yelled as I pushed them back to their original position. "Alright, here come the Knights!" Nadashiko suddenly shouted excitedly. "The Knights?" I asked. "Oh right, you just transferred here so you don't know." Nadashiko said, "These guys are part of the Student Council for the Moon Dorm and the most popular people in the school."
"Good morning, girls! I heard you loud and clear from the dorm. You all look really cute today." said a boy with short wavy blonde hair and turquoise eyes. "That's Senior Hanabusa Aidou, also known as 'Idol', he's the smartest guy in the whole school." explained Nadashiko. "Somehow, I can't see a guy who likes to flirt with girls as someone who is good at academics." I said.
"Hi!" Hanabusa said continuing to woo the girls. "Hanabusa." said a tall boy with the same wavy hair, but he was strawberry blonde hair, and amber eyes. "That's Senior Akatsuki Kain, a.k.a 'Wild'. He's Hanabusa's cousin." said Yori. "Why he is called 'Wild' when he seems like a mellow guy?" I asked. "I'm not entirely sure." confessed Yori. "Probably because of the way he dresses." Nadashiko said. "Yeah you're probably right." I said.
Right behind Hanabusa and Akatsuki, was a girl with long pale tan wavy hair. "That's their friend, Senior Ruka Souen." said Nadashiko. A boy with short brown hair and glasses was calling out Ruka's name over and over really loudly. He was wearing the Day Class uniform. "The loud-mouth with the glasses is the class representative, Kaseumi Kageyama. He's obsessed with Senior Souen. We just called him Class Rep." Yori explained. "You can say that again." I said. Then a boy with light blue eyes and maroon colored hair and a girl with two orange pigtails and dark blue eyes walk by. "The guy is Senior Senri Shiki and the girl is Senior Rima Toya, they're models." said Yori. "I can see that." I said. Then a boy with beach blonde hair and light green eyes. "That's Senior Takuma Ichijou, he's the Vice Dorm President of the Moon Dorm." said Nadashiko dreamily. "He seems like a nice guy." I said. "THE NICEST EVER!" Nadashiko squealed.
I sighed in disappointment, none o these Knight guys don't seemed to be the right guy either. "What's wrong?" asked Yori. "Oh, it's nothing." I answered. "I may just be imagining things, but it seems like when you were looking at the senior boys, you were looking for someone in particular." Yori stated. "Okay, I am looking for someone. I'll explain it to you guys, but it's a long story." I said. "We got time." Nadashiko said.
I told them about the boy that saved my life ten years ago. "So, let me get this straight. You don't who this boy is or where he's from. You just know the possible age and his hair and eye color. And the reason you are here, besides the Dancing program, is to find him to thank him for saving you and find out about your lost past. And you think that your mystery boy might be at Cross Academy. Is that it?" Nadashiko said. "Yes, that about sums it up." I said. "So, the first memory you have is that snowy day and nothing else?" Yori asked. "Yep." I answered.
"Oh relax, you're too stiff, Akatsuki." Hanabusa said as he continued to pose for the girls. "Senior Wild, over here!" a girl with straight light brown hair called out. Hanabusa stared at the girl in annoyance; maybe he was jealous that that girl was paying attention to his cousin instead of him. "Hello, Senior Kain!" a girl with light brown curly hair.
Hanabusa pointed his right pointer finger at a random girl as if he was holding a gun. "Bang!" he said. The girl immediately fainted on the spot. Okay that's going a little overboard. "I want to be shot too!" a dark short hair said excitedly. With that, the other girls took off towards Hanabusa knocking over the small fence taking Yori and Nadashiko with them. As for me, I was just knocked over. "Ouch! Yori! Nadashiko! Are you guys alright?" I asked. Those two managed to get their heads out the struggling crowd. "We're okay as soon as we get out of this mad house." Yori yelled.
I sat up and noticed that my hand hurt. I scraped my hand! Not good, I don't know why, but for ten years, I have had a serious case of hemophobia. I looked away from my hand to prevent any fainting, nausea, or attacks. Luckily, I always bring bandages with me just in case of these situations.
I looked up at the wild fan girls. They really can't control themselves with these guys I thought to myself as I got a bandage out of my bag and started to put it on my hand. That's pretty swallow, falling for a guy just for his appearances. Sure, admiring a guy for his looks is okay, but you can't tell what he's like on the inside. However, I believe you can tell if someone has a good heart by the warmth of their touch. I know for a fact that if I do fall in love, I would fall in love with a man for his heart.
"Excuse me, miss?" a voice said from my right. I looked over to the source and gasped. "Is everything alright?" said a boy who was about eighteen years old with shoulder length brownish black hair and deep red brown eyes as he held out his left hand to me. My mind flashed back to that moment ten years ago. He is the complete older version of that boy. He even said the exact same thing and did the same action as that boy did on that night. I couldn't breathe and my heart was racing. It was the same feeling as that faithful snowy night. Could this really be the boy who saved my life?
"Um… I'm uh…" I stammered. It was really hard to speak. The last time I couldn't speak much, because my lack of memoires. I was like a newborn baby in a five year old's body. At the beginning my procedural information like talking, walking, and other stuff was missing. Now the sight of him makes me speechless. I could be wrong, but this guy looks like the most handsome boy on the campus. Wilma wouldn't stop teasing me if she saw me with him.
"Don't worry about me, I'm A-okay!" I finally managed to say with a smile. "Here, let me help you up." the tall, dark, and mysterious boy offered. "Thanks." I said as I reached my hand for his. When my hand made contact with his, my whole body felt warmth. Once I was on my feet, I quickly took my hand back and examine it. Then I looked back at the boy, who gave me a perplexed look. His hand gave me the same warmth the boy from that faithful day had. This must be the boy who saved my life.
Then I felt cold stares at the back of my head, I slightly turned my head to my left. I saw a bunch of girls giving cold, jealous, and suspicious stares at me. I immediately turned my head around to the front of me. "Okay! That's creepy!" I said nervously. "Do I know you?" the dark-haired boy asked, "You look very familiar." He seems to know me from somewhere, that's a good sign that he might be the boy. "Um… maybe." I said shyly.
Suddenly for some reason, he covered his nose and mouth. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yes I'm fine, I just smelled some rotting wood somewhere." he said. "Really? I don't smell anything like that." I said. "Well, I just have a really sensitive nose." He said while avoiding eye contract. Was he hiding something?
"Kaname! We really need to get to class now!" Takuma called to the boy. "Oh right!" said the boy, "Sorry, but I need to go now." "Okay." I said as he walked off. 'Kaname' is that his name, or his last name? It's a little hard to tell with these Japanese names.
Then two girls snuck behind the teachers' backs. "Um, Senior Kuran?" a girl with short dark brown hair holding a red rose with a light pink ribbon said as she and another girl with short light brown hair with a large green-blue envelope (Probably a poem or a love letter) came up to Kaname shyly, "Would you please except this?" "Thank you." Kaname said as he accepted the gifts with a polite smile. That smile just made my heart flutter. A teacher started to pull the girls away and told everyone to get back to the dorms. Everyone whined as they left.
I looked over to my left and saw Yori and Nadashiko, who finally got out of the mad crowd, with their jaws hanging wide opened. "What?" I asked confused. Then Nadashiko quickly came up to me. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO YOU WERE JUST TALKING TO?" she yelled in an astonished voice. "No." I said even more perplexed. "THAT WAS SENOIR KANAME KURAN! HE'S THE DORM PRESIDENT OF THE MOON DORM, LEADER OF THE CROSS ACADEMY KNIGHTS, AND THE MOST POPULAR GUY IN THE ENTIRE CAMPUS OF CROSS ACADEMY!" she said like it was important to know this information. "Whoa!" I said.
So, Kaname Kuran was his name. And pretty fancy name too. Funny, where have I heard the name Kuran before? His last name sounded pretty familiar. Maybe that was a sign he was a part of my missing past.
"That's pretty impressive that he was talking to you." said Yori, "Usually he doesn't talk to anyone unless spoken to first, and you have to get his attention first." "AND HE JUST CAME UP TO YOU, HELP YOU UP, AND TALKED, REPEAT, TALKED TO YOU! HE MUST LIKE YOU OR SOMETHING!" Nadashiko said astonished. "He wouldn't happen to be your crush, would he?" I teased. "No, Senior Ichijou is my true love." She said dreamily. "I'm just so surprised that the most eligible guy in the whole school was flirting with you." She added. "He wasn't flirting; he was just helping me out. No big deal." I said. "IT IS A BIG DEAL! EVERY GIRL ON THE CAMPUS WANTS A CHANCE WITH SENIOR KURAN!" Nadashiko shouted. I flinched a bit. "So, do you think that he might be your mystery boy?" Yori asked. "I don't know, but I'll find out soon enough." I said.
"That's enough boy watching for today." Yori said, "Let's head back to the dorms, it's almost curfew for the Day Class students." "Actually, I don't live in the dorms since the vacancy of the girls in the Sun Dorm is full." I explained. "So, where do you live?" asked Nadashiko. "An owner of an apartment building is letting me stay in one her rooms." I explained. "Oh!" both Yori and Nadashiko said understanding the situation. "Too bad, we can't stay in the dorms together." Yori added. "Well, I better get going. See you guys tomorrow!" I said. "See you tomorrow!" both Yori and Nadashiko called back as I ran back into town.
As I was running down the stairs, I couldn't help but wonder why Kaname acted weird with that 'smell'. I couldn't help but feel that he was hiding something. Maybe I'm just thinking too much about it.
Meanwhile, back to Kaname:
Kaname was heading to class with the rose in his right hand and the envelope under his left arm. Suddenly, he felt a presence behind him. "Hello, Seiren." he said. Then a girl with short pale violet hair and the same color eyes. "Shall I take that Lord Kuran?" she asked. "Thank you." Kaname said as he held up the rose. Then suddenly, the rose wilted and was thrown away as he handed Seiren the envelope and headed into the school. I didn't know at the time, but they are completely different from us.
Meanwhile later that night:
"These tablets developed by the Night Class is very effective and has been excepted world-wide." said a man with short gray hair with one-len eye glasses. He was the teacher for the Night Class. "You aren't just the pride of this school, but also the entire vampire realm." the teacher said showing his fangs. "It's not that big of a deal." said Ruka. "All we did is participated in some group study." Takuma said.
"So the Day Night has got a new student, huh?" Hanabusa said with an excited grin, "And she's a real cutie." "Going after the new girl again?" Ruka asked suspiciously, "Or perhaps you have taken an interested in her blood?" "What? It isn't anything like that!" Hanabusa denied. "Yes, but you have to admit that American girl seems quite yummy." Senri said. The whole class was quiet for a while. "Shiki…" Takuma said breaking the silence. Senri turned his head towards Rima a bit. "Time to feed." she said in a bored voice as she tossed two tablets to Senri as he caught them in his mouth.
Kaname closed the book he was reading and got up from the chair separated from the others he was sitting at. "Lord Kuran," Ruka started to say with a concerned face. "I noticed that you seem awfully interested in that girl." "Truth be told, I think I met her somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on it." He said. "I was a little concerned, when you smelled her blood; you seemed pretty tempted to drink her blood." Takuma said with a worried face. "WHAT? YOU WERE TEMPTED?" Hanabusa said in shock. "I don't think Lord Kuran has ever been tempted to anything like that before" Akatsuki said.
Both Ruka and Hanabusa started to get worried. Then Ruka put a corner of the book she was holding on Hanabusa's hand really hard. "THAT HURTS! THAT HURTS! THAT HURTS! THAT HURTS!" he yelled. "RUKA! DO YOU WISH TO DIE!" Hanabusa threatened her as he pushed his pencils off his desk space onto the floor. But Ruka ignored the threat as she brushed her hair back.
"The clouds will soon hide the moon." Kaname said as he looked out the window behind him. "Yes, it will be our time." Takuma agreed. All of a sudden, the light from the candles went out. Then, Kaname's eyes as well as the others, started to glow bloody red. "The night is made for Vampires." He stated. They are the beings that hide in the shadows and are the source of legends. And their very existence must be the secret to protect.
Back in my apartment:
I couldn't help but think about the mysterious Kaname Kuran. Was he hiding something? Is he the boy who saved me? And am I someone he knew before that day? I kept asking myself million questions as I danced in my new private dance studio to some gentle ballet music. Dancing really helps me think when I have a million questions.
Once the music was done, I went to the living room and lay on the couch. I looked at my ring. Kaname said I looked familiar, it must be a sign that he has seen me before. How can I tell for sure that he's the boy from my first memory? Do I ask him directly? Or do I give him a little hint about the fact that I'm the girl he saved ten years ago? I looked at my right hand; I could still feel Kaname's warm kind touch. Any cold I felt just disappeared like that day so long ago.
I got up and went to the balcony. If there was a chance Kaname knew me before I lost my memories, could he help me remember? What happened to me? Did my parents abandon me? Was I separated from them? Did they die? Was there an accident? Or were they even murdered? So many questions were racing in my head about my parents and my past. I decided to take a shower and hit the hay. If I asked myself too many questions about my past and think too hard about it, my head really starts to hurt. After the shower, I got under the covers and looked towards the balcony overlooking the Academy. I wonder if the Night Class is still in session. Then I finally closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Meanwhile back at the school:
Kaname and Takuma were leaving the school grounds to head back to the Moon Dorm. "I have to admit that new student in the Day Class seems very interesting." Takuma said, "There's not a single girl in the Night Class that seems anything like her." "No." Kaname replied, "And for someone who is used to the dark, that girl seems to be a very blinding sight. It could be possible she is the little girl in the snow that I saved ten years ago." he continued to walk as Takuma stopped.
Takuma started to look concern for his friend. "You know, everyone likes living here." Takuma stated as Kaname stopped walking, "but don't forget, because of a request from you, a pureblood, we are following the rules of the humans. But, just barely." "I know that, Ichijo." Kaname said as he walked off again as Takuma took a deep sigh.
Tomorrow at School:
"Okay, this is so awkward." I said, "Why is everyone staring at us?" My other classmates, besides Yori and Nadashiko, were giving me jealous and suspicious stares. Most of them were girls. "Not us, you." Yori stated. "The other girls are really jealous of you, and some of the boys have a crush on you. And Senior Kuran talking to you has made them jealous as well." Nadashiko explained, "Even through they mostly go after the Night Class girls." "This is happened, because he talked to me?" I asked, "I really can't have people staring me like this, I really can't." "You three in the middle, be quiet or you'll stay after class!" the teacher warned us. "Sorry!" All three of us said.
During lunch:
"Everyone is really making too big of a deal out of this." I said in a huff as I took a bite out of my rice ball, "It's not like he asks me out, or even propose to me." "Yeah, but it's rare for him to talk to anyone first." Yori stated. "Yeah he must really like you." Nadashiko said. Yori, Nadashiko, and I were eating our lunches outside of the school underneath a tree talking about various things, mostly about the Night Class.
"So Yori, do you have a crush on anyone in the Night Class or even in the Day Class?" I teasingly asked. "No, those boys from the Night Class are too creepy for my taste. And there no one in particular in the Day Class interests me." Yori answered. "Then how come you always come with me to see the Night Class?" Nadashiko asked. "It's so I can make sure that you won't make a fool of yourself." Yori answered. "Anyway, shouldn't you like a guy for their personally not their looks?" I asked. "You're probably right." Nadashiko said after thinking about it for a bit.
"Anyway, what makes everyone think that Kaname is interested in me?" I asked. "You're calling Senior Kuran by his first name?" Nadashiko asked surprised. "I normally called my fellow schoolmates by their first names." I explained, "I called my teachers, doctors, neighbors, and etc. by their last names with a Mr., Mrs., or Miss." "So that's how people in America normally address people?" Yori asked. "Pretty much for most people, yeah." I said.
"Anyway, back to Senior Kuran," Nadashiko said, "He really has the hots for you." "Like I said before, what makes you think that?" I asked. "I only knew you for a while, but for one thing, you're really nice. You're really pretty." Nadashiko said. "If he likes me just for the way I look, he better come up with a better reason to like me." I said, "Besides, I'm too much of an originally looking girl from an originally life for his taste." "Didn't you say you shouldn't like a person just for their looks?" Yori asked. "Yeah, but sadly there aren't many guys that fall for a girl just for their personalities." I said. "What kind of life does he lead anyway?" I asked. "I'm not entirely sure; he might be the son of a wealthy billionaire family or from a long line nobility/royalty of some kind I guess." Yori answered. "Point proven, I'm way too originally." I said. "Class doesn't matter when it comes to love." Nadashiko said like a hopeless romantic. "But I just talked to him for a few minutes, I don't think that counts." I said. "Whatever." Nadashiko said taking a bite out of her lunch.
After School, During Dance Class:
We were stretching our legs after we changed. This time the girls wore some low heel shoes. I wonder what kind of dance we are learning today. "Hey guys!" Nadashiko said. She was wearing a lavender leotard with black leggings and matching low heel shoes. "Hey Nadashiko," I said surprised, "I didn't know that you took dance classes as well." "Yeah, but I'm not that good. I had a make-up test to take, so I missed yesterday's class." Nadashiko said. "That's great we can learn together, and I can show you how we American girls break it down. I promised my sister I do that anyway." I said with a smile.
"Personally I think your dancing stinks." Tomiko said. I turned towards her starting to get a little irritated. "Then again, you are a little stinky. It's no wonder that my dear Senior Kuran was disgusted by you." she added. "WHAT?" I said beginning to lose my temper as she walked off to stretch.
"Okay that was beyond rude!" I said, "Kaname had just smelled rotting wood that's all." "What rotting wood?" Yori asked, "There haven't been any dead trees or branches lately, have there?" "No there haven't." Nadashiko answered. "What, when why did Kaname said he smelled rotting wood?" I asked. "That just proved my point about you being stinky." Tomiko said as she admired herself in one of the mirrors. "Be quiet Tomiko! I wasn't asking you!" I said about to have my last straw pulled.
"Okay class," the teacher said as we lined up as she walked in, "One of the keys to creating your own dance is learning different kinds of dances." "Most probably don't know, but some of the dances; like the electric slide, tap dancing, the Samba, Rumba, and many other dances in different countries were based on real African dances." The teacher said. "Um teacher, the last time I checked, this is a dance class not a history class." Tomiko said. My dad would be so insulted if he heard her say that.
"Actually, just as many of the popular dances were based off of African dances. A dance routine can be put together from different dances." the teacher explained, "Yuuki for example, said that dances that are a mixture of ballet, jazz, and hip-hop dances." "They're what I mostly learned from the dance academy in New Orleans." I humbly admitted. "Well since you can make a dance as a mixture of three different dances, you probably won't have a problem with the exam at the end of the school year, which is to make an original dance based of all the dances we have learned this trimester." the teacher explained.
"Today, we are going to practice the tango." the teacher said. Oh boy, I'm okay with solo dances, but duet and ballroom dancing is a little harder for me. Although I don't know why. Somehow I always step on my partner's feet, accidently kicked them in the gut, or injure any other part of their body. I'm probably just way too incompatible for them. I'm not going to like this.
All of the girls got paired up with the boys of the class. Although, I heard some of the girls that they rather dance with one of the Night Class boys. Talk about shallow. I got paired up with a nice looking boy with short light brown hair and brown eyes. The teacher taught the boys the basic steps to the male part of the tango and then taught the female parts to us girls. I somehow managed to get the basic steps down. When we learned the basic steps, we picked up the pace a bit.
As the music began to become faster, we picked up the speed of our dancing. That's when it got messy. I accidently stomped on the boy's foot, which made him howled in pain. "Sorry!" I said. "Luckily, you aren't dancing with Senior Kuran." Tomiko said with a smirk. "Keep your comments to yourself please." I said through gritted teeth.
Finally, the class was over. I kept messing up on the sped up parts. I thought I was going to break that guy's foot. It was my turn for clean-up duty in the studio. I didn't have to do anything like this back at my elementary and middle schools back in New Orleans. The teacher showed me what to do and I got it done in several minutes.
Once I was done, I head to the locker room to change. For a second, I thought I heard someone. "Who's there?" I asked as I turned around. Nothing. I looked around to see if I could find anyone, but no one. I opened my locker, put on my watch and ring, and take out my school uniform. Then all of a sudden, I was pushed from behind into the locker and it closed. "HEY! WHAT GOING ON HERE?" I yelled. "Serves you right for flirting with my Senior Kuran yesterday." a familiar voice said. "Tomiko?" I said surprised, "First of all, we were NOT flirting! Second of all, if you don't yet me out this instant, I'll make my stomping on that boy's foot look like a pat on the back." "I'm going to have to pass on that offer." she said as she walked away, "Have a good night in there."
Okay that girl is so going to get the punishment of a lifetime from me. I kept banging and screaming for help, but no luck. "HEY HEY! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME? SOMEONE YET ME OUT OF HERE NOW!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I banged on the door really hard, but still no one heard me.
"What's that racket?" an unfamiliar voice, "That better not be a ghost, not that there are any." Someone heard me; I banged even harder and yelled louder. "HEY! I'M IN A LOCKER IN THE Dance ROOM'S LOCKER ROOM! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" I yelled. I heard some key jangling, and the door opening. "I'M IN LOCKER #19!" I yelled. I saw a man in his mid 40's between the holes of the locker. "Just tell me your lock number." he said. I told him the numbers, it was unlocked, and I fell out of there.
Ouch! I cut the palm of my right hand on the locker door when I fell out of the locker. I looked at my watch to avoid any hemophobia symptoms. It was about a quarter till nine, I need to get back, or Azumi will worry about me. "Are you okay kid?" the janitor asked. I looked up and saw a man wearing a blue janitor uniform with black hair with white streaks. "I'm fine," I said, "Except a jerkette named Tomiko pushed me into my locker for talking to her crush, which by the way, WASN'T flirting!" I got up and dusted myself off. "I'll tell the headmaster about this. You should go back home and see him in the morning and tell him what happened." the janitor said as he started to mop the locker room. "Thanks!" I said to the janitor as I started to run out of room. "And please be quiet, the Night Class is in session." The janitor said and then went back to his cleaning. "I will!" I said as I got out of the room.
I decided to put my uniform jacket on my dancing outfit and hold the rest of the uniform, since Azumi will be really worried about me. I walked as quietly as I could so I wouldn't disturb the Night Class. But I was still fuming mad at Tomiko for what she did to me.
I got out to the gardens that surround the school building. Then I heard something from my right. I walked towards the source. When I came from behind a bush, I saw two girls, one with chin-length dark brown hair and dark blue eyes sitting down and one with orangish long brown hair and brown eyes kneeling down. When they saw me, they screamed. Their reaction startled me, and I screamed as well. "What are you two doing here?" I asked as soon as I recollected myself, "I thought we weren't allowed to be outside at nighttime." "We just came to take some pictures of the Night Class students." the long haired said, "What about you?" "I just got out after being stuffed in a locker for about five hours." I answered as if I didn't care. "Oh!" both of the girls said flabbergasted.
"Don't you think you two should go back to the dorms?" I said. "What's the deal? Its harmless." the short haired girl said as she got up. She winced in pain as she stood up. "Are you okay? You can walk right?" asked the long haired girl. "Are you hurt?" I asked concerned. Her knee was bleeding a bit, I looked away. The scratch on my right hand was more than enough blood for me.
"Is this really necessary?" I asked, "You shouldn't just fall for a guy just for their looks." "Now that you mention it he hasn't pay any attention to me at all." The long hair girl said. "What about that brown hair guy with the blue eyes from our class, I think he likes you." I said. "You mean Keiichi?" the long hair girl said, "We have been friends seen we were kids, but now that I think about it he has been acting strange lately." "You should give him a chance," I said, "Don't judge a book by its cover anyway." "I supposed you're right." the long haired girl said thoughtfully.
Then we heard a rustle from the bushes behind us. All of us jumped, what was it? For a moment, I though it was a wild animal. A black figure jumped out of the bushes as I screamed as I jumped behind the other girls. I peeked out, and it turned out to be a small black cat meowing. "Phew! It's just a kitty-cat." I said relieved as I walked out and ran my left fingers through my bangs. The cat walked up to me and started to rub against my leg, purring. "This little kitty likes you." the short hair girl said as I started to pet him. "He's so cute! I think I'll call him Kuro." I said.
Suddenly we heard another sound from behind us. I flinched a bit, but relaxed instantly. "This better be another cat, maybe Kuro's girlfriend." I said. We turned around saw two tall figures. We all jumped back and yelped. "Nope, neither of us are cats and we're not girls either." said a familiar person with strawberry blonde hair. It was Akatsuki, and he was with Hanabusa. "Oh my gosh! It's Senior Akatsuki Kain and Senior Hanabusa Aidou from the Night Class." the short haired girl said flabbergasted. "No way!" the long haired girl said as the short haired girl squealed. "What did we just talk about not judging people by their cover?" I asked. Honestly, I can't believe they forgot about what we had talked about the moment they have laid eyes on those two. I immediately slapped my head in frustration.
"No need to fuss, we just came here, because we smelled blood." Hanabusa said. Okay they smelled the blood? Okay that's creepy! "That's the real reason we came out tonight." he said. I was pretty sure that I saw his blue eyes turned into blood red. Alright, why does this seemed very frighteningly familiar? Hanabusa closed his eyes and took a sniff. "Ah you smell so nice." He said as he opened them up again.
"I don't believe! What do we do?" the short haired girl said excitedly. "He likes our smell." the long haired girl said equally excited. He's talking about the scent of our blood, right? Don't those two find it creepy in anyway? "Look, we are so sorry we are here. We know we shouldn't be here. We were just going home." I said.
As I started to walk away, Hanabusa grabbed my scratched hand. "Did you get hurt?" he asked. "Well yeah." I said confused. "What smells good, Yuuki Franklin is the smell of your blood." he said as he lifts my hand tightly to show the cut on my hand. Okay this déjà vu is getting too familiar and too scary for my taste. "Hanabusa could you please let go? I have to get back to my apartment." I said definitely not liking where this is going.
"Really, it is so tempting." Hanabusa said as he opened his mouth to show two sharp fangs as one of them pierced the skin on my palm, making more blood oozed out. "Are those fangs?" the long haired girl said. "He's a vampire?" the short haired girl asked just as shocked as the rest of us. A VAMPIRE? This definitely not good for someone with hemophobia, especially me. This experience was getting too intense for me, and this was remaining me too much of a past experience. For reason, Akatsuki was staying calm. Why is he not freaking out like the rest of us?
Hanabusa had his fangs in my palm. I know a few things about a few monsters. Unfortunately, one of them was vampires. "HEY! LET GO! SAID LET GO!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, but he didn't stop, he just continued to drink my blood. Finally he stopped and said, "Oh but I want more." he said. The two girls fainted on the spot. Then he lifted the collar of my jacket. "May I drink some your neck?" he asked. Wasn't drinking from my hand enough? "NO YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY AT ALL! NOW LET GO OF ME!" I screamed. "Hanabusa…" Akatsuki said. Finally he's taking action!
Before he had a chance sink his fangs into my neck, I thought about Dance class today and stomped really hard on his foot. Then he was howling from pain. My clumsiness with double dancing finally came in handy. It also helped that I was still wearing the black low-heeled shoes from today's dance class. I kneed between his legs and he collapsed. So, it works on vampires as well as humans. I went to the fainted girls to help them. I managed to snap them out of it. "Come on we got to get out of here!" I said. "What's going on?" the short-haired girl said. "I don't know and I don't think I want to find out!" I said as we ran for our lives.
"What's going on here?" Kaname said as he walked into the garden, "I heard screaming all of a sudden." Then he saw Hanabusa crutched down on the ground whimpering in pain. "What happened?" he said perplexed, "Did a Level E sneaked up on Aidou?" "Actually Hanabusa was only harassing that American transfer student and drinking her blood and she managed to knock him down." Akatsuki explained. "Why didn't you stop him, Kain?" Kaname asked with narrowed eyebrows. "Well I uh…" Akatsuki tried to explain. "Never mind, we got to stop them before they tell anyone what we really are." he said, "You two know we can't anyone know about the existence of vampires yet." Then he and Akatsuki ran off after us. "Hey wait Akatsuki!" Hanabusa said as he slowly got up, "What! Lord Kuran! What are you doing here?" then he ran after them as he shrugged. "Hey wait for me!"
We were running as fast as we could. The short-haired girl was limping, so she had to lean on the long-haired girl for support. I was up a little bit ahead of them. "Come on this way!" I said. "Okay!" they both said. I ran onto the path that I found. However, as soon as I got to the path, ran back faster than lighting screaming. The other girls reeled back as soon as they heard me screaming.
Soon, two men with glowing blood red eyes and sharp fangs came into view. All of us stood shivering in fear. The other two girls fainted again, while I still stood where I stand. I couldn't help but think this was a lot like the man who attacked me ten years ago. Were these men vampires as well? The boy who saved me might not help me this time, even if he is around here. They attacked and lunged right at me. "NO DON"T!" I screamed as I fell back.
Suddenly there were chunks of rocks, fire, and ice was flying everywhere. I looked up and saw Hanabusa using ice that was flying in the air, Akatsuki summoning fire with his bare hands, and Kaname controlling the chunks of earth around. They look like they were controlling those elements with their minds. Does this mean that these guys aren't humans at all? This was too much for me to handle and I faint fainted right away.
After I fell unconscious, the two crazy vampires turned into dust. "Was it just me, or do these Level Es seemed a little tougher to fight?" Akatsuki said. "Yeah you're right." Hanabusa said. "We'll worry about that later; we better get these girls' memories erased. And you two need to be reported to the headmaster." Kaname said in a disproved tone. "Yes Sir…" both of them said with heads hanging low. While they were talking, Seiren came of nowhere and a purplish glowing orb came on our heads. What she didn't notice is that my ring was glowing when she put her hand on my head.
Back at my apartment:
"Ugh… what happened? Where am I?" I opened my eyes feeling like I have my head full of fog and saw that I was in my room. "What a weird dream, vampires? Sam is getting to you, you have got to stop watching scary movies altogether." I told myself. Sam is really into monsters and stuff. He buys books that have information on them, sees way too many horror movies. I sometimes read his books when I'm bored (with his permission of course). I got up and noticed that I was still in my dancing outfit and uniform jacket. "Was I so tired that I just fell asleep on my bed without changing into my pajamas?" I asked myself.
"Wait a minute! What if the dream was real?" I asked myself. I felt a sharp pain in my right palm as I got off the bed. I look at it and saw a bandage on top of cut I got from the locker. I'm still going to give Tomiko a piece of my mind when I find her. I wonder if there are any bite marks from Hanabusa. I pulled the bandage off of my palm and saw two small circular marks, the same place where Hanabusa bit me.
Great I have been bit by a vampire! Now I'm going to become a vampire now! I checked my teeth, no fangs what so ever. That's weird. Wait a minute I remember from reading one of Sam's books that if a vampire has one vampire parent and one human parent, their bite can't turn a human into a vampire. Hanabusa must be only part human, so he can't turn be into a vampire. Thank goodness! Why is a vampire at the school? Come to think of it he was seen in late daylight the other day. That could be his human part through. What was with the ice, fire, and rocks throwing without lifting with their hands? Why did Akatsuki and Kaname not react with the fact that Hanabusa is a vampire? How were they able to do those things? Are those guys not human as well? What are they? And why does this whole thing feel similar?
My mind flashed back to that day ten years ago. Only this time, it was a whole lot clearer. I hold my head which was hurting as the memory from that faithful day became absolutely clear. I remember now, that alcoholism was really thirst for my blood, the knife was his fangs, meaning it was not a man that attacked me ten years ago, it was a bloodthirsty vampire. He had the same glowing red eyes as Hanabusa. And the boy who saved my life had the same eyes, meaning he was also a vampire. But why would a vampire save me, instead of drinking my blood? And if Kaname is that boy, does that mean that he is also a vampire. Also, why didn't they drink all the blood in my body?
This was so crazy. What's going on here? I walked over to the window and opened the curtains to look at the moon dorm. Is the reason why the Day Class and Night Class are separated because the students there are not human? Maybe it would be better to wait this out to see what happens. I don't know what is going on, but I'll probably find out soon enough. Today's a day off from classes, so I need to get groceries.
I went to my drawers to get changed for the day. I put on my black skirt that went just above my knees, a turquoise top, and a canary yellow sweater jacket. I fixed my hair, readjusted my ring, and got a piece of toast for breakfast. I went to the door, picked up my purse, and put on a pair of brown flats. I locked the door as I went out into the hallway. Although I tried not to think about, I couldn't help but think about the vampires at the moon dorm.
Meanwhile at the Moon Dorm Lobby:
"Suspended for ten days." Hanabusa said as he put a blood tablet in his glass of water. "For a taste of that American girl's blood, it was totally worth it. It was so exotic." "You better not let Dorm President Kuran heard you say that. He'll get mad. You know the rules for the pacifism." Akatsuki said. "That's what I want." Hanabusa admitted, "Sorry, but just surviving off of these blood isn't enough for me." "Her blood smell so irresistible, I just…" Hanabusa said as he sighed.
Kaname just came into the lobby just wearing the black shirt, white pants, and shoes of his school uniform. And he just happened to hear the conversation. "Hey…" Akatsuki said with a worried look trying to warn Hanabusa about him. Hanabusa looked up just in time to get slapped by Kaname's right hand. "You just?" he asked in an angry tone. "I'm so sorry." Hanabusa apologized lowering his head. Then Kaname walked off. "Well that's what you wanted right?" Akatsuki stated. "BE QUIET! BE QUIET! BE QUIET!" Hanabusa shouted throwing his arms wildly.
Back to me:
As I left the apartment building, I was still deep in thought about the mysterious encounter I had last night as I brought my right hand to cover my neck as I dreaded the thought of having a vampire biting into my neck and drinking my blood. One vampire encounter is enough to last me a lifetime. "Vampires… beasts in human forms that drink the blood of living humans."
In Kaname's Dorm Room:
Kaname was walking over to his window to look out. He was trying to figure out why I looked so familiar to him. I placed his right hand on the windowsill. He noticed a bit of blood on his pointer finger. He licked it off, revealing his fangs. "I know I have seen that girl before, but where? And why does the feeling of your touch so comfortable?" he asks himself. "I must never get close to a vampire. If I do…"
