The sun started to tuck itself behind the beautifully light blue puffy clouds. I grabbed my sword, tucking it in beneath my skirt and headed out of the cozy dorm room Kaien assigned me. As I walked around the premises, I heard an unbearable amount of screaming coming from my left; abruptly I ran toward the screams. Upon my arrival there was a crowd of girls and a few guys (whom were the ones screaming) for the Night class. I stepped in between the screaming girls and the Night class so that nothing may happen. The man I was separating from the girls grabbed my side and tilted me back; it probably looked like we were doing the tango.
"Hello, my princess." He said combing through his wavy blonde hair with his free hand.
"CALL US PRINCESS! IDOL!" The girls screamed barricading inward.
Swiftly I lifted myself back up into my former position and yelled at the girls to go to their dorm. After that, things seemed almost easy. I began patrolling the area thoroughly, when I came upon the silver haired boy. He was breathing heavily, his eyes glowing red and he was clutching at his chest. I rushed myself to his side. He was clearly a vampire, a low level at that. I duck-taped his jaw shut and carried him to Kaien, who would know what to do.

I gently settled his body on the ground before Kaien, who kneeled stroking the boy's hair.
"Thank you for bringing Zero to me while he was in this state."
I acknowledged his thanks and continued on my patrol. Outside was an extraordinarily beautiful sight with the scenic view, the towering pale brick buildings, a black-starry backdrop encasing them.
Did Kaname recognize me? "No, he couldn't, not after the rebirth," I thought, slumping down against a tree trunk. I buried my flushed face into my arms and wept softly. The haunting memories of what happened to our love attacked my mind in an ambush; the night the council kidnapped me and killed him, after lying and saying that I had ran off with some hunter.
"What are you crying about?" That gentle voice asked in a none-caring tone.
"Why don't you remember me?"
"I do." he replied.
I stood up and ran to his embrace.
"Why didn't you say anything?" I asked, tears still escaping my eyes.
"I didn't want you to think I felt the same way I did back then."
My heart shrank. I slid from his arms, and turned away, running, running until I couldn't catch my breath. I leaned against a nearby tree and fell to my knees, face in hands, a fresh stream of tears in my eyes. I didn't need to do this anymore...But even against my best efforts, I couldn't help being sad.
The clouds rumbled above as rain fell; a small storm. I looked up, my hair matted to my face, clothes soaked. Nothing heard but the gentle pitter-patter of the rain around me, and a harsh slam from inside the dorm. I stood up as someone approached. I expected to see Kaien checking on me, but it was the boy from earlier; Zero. He stared at me briefly and looked away. "You're soaked."
"Well I'm out in the rain." I replied walking away. I decided I was going to look for Vaeda so I could take my mind off things.
~~~~XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX3XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~~~~
I walked around for what seemed to be hours before I finally found her, chatting away with a night class student. "Vaeda, what are you doing?" "Vaeda, what are you doing?" I asked walking up.
"Umm...well, I was talking to Ichijou-san" she said, her cheeks turning red.
I started to reach my hand up, but turned and kept walking, their gaze following my movement. I couldn't have my fairy tale, but I wasn't going to take away hers. The sun was about to come up, the handsome men of the night class came from the building and back to their dorms. By the time, I went to bed the sun was up and embracing my room in light. My eyes closed and all went blank.
~~~~XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX3XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~~~~
I awoke from my emotionless slumber. Again, from dream to reality, I faced the same routine I had grown accustom. I wanted to cry; to breakdown and cease to exist, but there were things I needed to do today. Stretching and rising from my bed, I headed out the door and into the hallway.
"Hey Ameratsu-sensei!" Vaeda shouted from across the hall running towards me.
"You look sad, what's wrong?" she asked, her face openly showing concern.
"Nothing." I said, shrugging her off. I glanced around the hallway trying to clear my head. "I see you have a thing for that blonde haired boy, Ichijou." I said finally, grinning.
"Na, we just like the same manga." she replied, trying not to blush.
"Well, we need to patrol again today," I said sternly, "so don't get cocky." I finished, walking away.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" she shouted as I neared the corner, causing me to miss a step. Catching my balance, it hit me. I had completely forgotten. "Great..." I thought, resuming my walking.
As I walked, I started thinking of what activities Kaien planned, but when I arrived at the moon Dorm, my question was answered. Girls lined up behind banners with each of the night classes students' names'.
"Ama-chan!" Kaien shouted running towards me.
"What?"I replied, as he pressed his hands against his thighs catching his breath.
"I need you to chaperone the dance tonight. Please dress up." He said, then began ranting about me in a dress. I stopped him mid-sentence: "I don't own a dress." I replied shyly. He looked at me, smiled and pulled me to his office me trying to fight his iron grip but not being able to get away. I tried to tell him I didn't need it I could wear my uniform but he insisted and dragged me anyway.
~~~~XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX3XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~~~~
I stood there in his room, bewildered I hadn't ever been in his room since we were together. I don't think that I really wanted to be with him, I think that it was just because I had lost whom I wanted so I tried to force those feelings on him. Kaien walked into the room with three boxes each wrapped in very beautiful ribbons. He sat them on the bed, and waved his pointer finger at me gesturing me to come see what he'd brought. Carefully he untied each one, exposing the stunning gowns; one was long, black and had diamond studded belts crossing on the back and a two around the waist, it had small ruffles near the bottom. The second one was had a corset and it was red and black satin, when the corset ended a diminutive ruffle of the same red satin with flower patterns sewn in, beneath was the black skirt that I would probably trip on. The last was a shiny dark green, the bodice was delicately beaded, it was shirred throughout the dress. It was simply astonishing. When Kaien saw my face he'd already knew which one I chose.
"Go ahead, it's yours." He said gently.
"Thank you so much." I replied picking the dress up and holding it to my body.
"You can get dressed in here." Kaien said walking out and shutting the door. My clothes slid off my body like butter, and I placed my body neatly into the dress. I opened the door expecting Kaien to be down the hall but he was standing there at the door waiting.
"Do you have a mirror?"
"Yeah, it's on the closet door."
I looked in it; my sapphire eyes glowing, my black hair and blonde tips hanging freely and indifferent to its surroundings.
