A.N. So, somehow I'm still alive. I know I said I would update last week but my job has been hectic these past few days. Anyhow in this chapter Jessica meets the Night Class and let's just say tempers are high. A little is also revealed about her pureblood power. Finally for those who want to know this takes place right before Shizuka hits up Cross Academy.


Zero could feel a headache coming with full force, he thought he could handle Cross's antics but it was getting out of hand. The Chairman was already a pain in the ass, but combined with the returned pureblood it seemed like a new wave of suffering was upon him.

"I see you've already reunited with Jessica-chan, Zerorin!" Cross looking pleased as pudding as he pattered around his office for his tea set. "You can help introduce her to the Night Class students during changeover today."

"Wait what? I thought I was gonna be with Zero? Please Kaien-jiji!" She begged the Headmaster, "We just reconciled our bond and you want to separate us again so shortly?" Was she always this whiney? Zero thought as the girl continuously badgered Cross.

"I'm afraid that's not possible Jess, you are a pureblood vampire. You have to be put in the Night Class or the other students will complain. I am sorry, but you and Zero will be separated for now." He paused in his search and looked toward his adoptive son. "That is unless Zero would like to switch over to the night class?"

"Not a chance in hell." Jessica gave Zero the stink eye, "You are a fake hoe Zero!" "Your mouth has gotten filthy since the last time I spoke to you." He shot back. "Yeah well your face is filthy!" Did she get her insults from Aidou? "Wait no I take that back, your face isn't actually filthy but you're still a fake hoe!" He face palmed.

"Now, now Jessica there's no need for such cruel words, your return does call for a celebration. I'll make a big dinner before classes and I'll invite Kaname-kun over! You can also catch up with Yuuki-chan!" He prattled on, "I know this school was a part of your dreams too, so it'll be a super celebration." She had a vivid flashback from Cross' last home cooked meal. "A-a-actually I think I am tired from my long journey. I'll try to rest until class tonight. Maybe we can do dinner over the weekend? And I can catch up with Yuuki during the changeover period you guys have." She looked towards Zero for help.

"Yeah. I'm sure you need your rest, being a nuisance is tiring."

"You are walking me to my room for that comment." Cross perked up. "About your room, the Moon Dorms are still in the process of preparing your room so you'll have to bunk in my home until it is ready. You can stay in Yuuki's or Zero's room for the time being."

"Didn't you have a guest room?" Zero piped in not willing his eccentric friend into his quarters, he remembered venturing into her room once and it was organized chaos. Books all over the place, potted cactuses in every corner, notes for her 'research' strewn about and top it off a freezer full of ice cream next to her bed.

Jessica took notice of his attitude not to share with her and decided to egg him on. "I'd actually prefer to stay in Zero's room, I don't really know your daughter all that well and intrude on her space." Cross nodded his head sagely, "Yes, Yuuki is at that age where she does need her privacy."

"Yuuki has a room in the Sun Dorms, she doesn't even use her room over here." He was not sharing his room damn it. Jessica would snoop around and get ice cream all over his bed.

"Then going by that logic, aren't you the same Zero? You have two rooms, surely you can spare one for your bestest childhood friend." Jessica smirked, knowing she'd won this argument. Zero bowed his head in defeat. "Fine. Do what you wish, but do not make any messes." He turned to Cross, "Just how long will it take those bloodsuckers to finish her room?"

"It should be soon, Kaname-kun will update us on its completion. I do have a uniform for you so you can wear it for tonight's classes." Cross suddenly grinned as he handed her the appropriate garments, "This will give us ample time to have family dinners! I must go grocery shopping to prepare." Both vampires looked a little green. "Kaien-jiji how about I cook all the dinners? I'm sure you'll be very tired after shopping, I'll even ask Yuuki to help me-" Zero was trying to signal that letting Yuuki into the kitchen would NOT be a better choice. "Or Zero can help me," she amended.

"I thought you weren't allowed near fire?" Yet again Zero was given little choice I the manner, however he will comply if only to avoid food poisoning. "That was when I was younger, I am a lot less hot blooded now." They agreed on the dinner plans and her face grew sneaky, "Anyway I do need my beauty rest, so please escort me to our room. I can't wait to test your bed out."

Zero's face colored as they began to head for the Chairman's house, unaware of the eyes that were watching the two. "You've become even more shameless, but do you think you can handle rolling in my sheets?" He sniped back unwilling to be outdone.

"My, my, my Zero, it looks like I'm not the only bold one." Jessica was enjoying this too much.


"Kyaaa! Idol-senpai marry me!"

"Wild-senpai, you're so cool!"

"Kaname-senpai! Please look at this scarf I made you, it's cashmere."

"Get back in line!" Zero said harsher than intended. The Day Class girls were annoying as ever but that wasn't what was bothering the prefect. Zero knew Jessica wasn't causing trouble but still felt worried anyway. The Chairman just informed him that Jessica headed out towards changeover before him and she has yet to arrive. Knowing that her sense of direction is worse than a beaver in a mall doesn't help. While caught up in his thoughts he didn't notice a familiar presence sneaking up on him.

"Kiryuu-kun you seem slightly more irritated than usual, I hope you're resting well." The smooth voice of the Moon Dorm's president washed over him. His ire raised he felt the pureblood enter his personal space. "Kuran-senpai get to class." He was not in the mood to deal with the Night Class's president right now.

"Kaname-senpai!" Yuuki exclaimed walking up to the two, "Zero stop being mean to him! He was just asking how you are."

"Yuuki you look well," Kaname remarked as he took in her appearance and patted her head. "Chairman Cross invited me for a late dinner today, I trust you will be attending?" Yuuki blushed at the attention Kaname was giving her but wished he would stop, she wasn't a kid anymore jeez...

Kaname turned back to Zero and whispered so none of the Day Class girls could hear, "I do hope you get your rest Kiryuu-kun, for Yuuki's sake. It would be a shame if she was put in unnecessary danger due to your incompetence."

"Is that a threat Kuran-senpai?" Zero sneered. Suddenly a voice from a nearby tree piped in, "He'd better hope it isn't, after all this is a school for co-existence." Jessica jumped down from the tree and began walking towards the group with a dark look on her face. The Day Class girls began to fidget, as the vibes coming from this unknown girl felt dangerous.

"Who are you, and how dare you challenge Kaname-sama? Learn your place, ignorant woman." Aidou crowed as the he and Kuran's inner circle neared the group. The disrespect of this girl was grating on Aidou's nerves and he was going to teach her a lesson. The girl ignored him and addressed the President, "Kaname, I sincerely hope you did not mean to threaten Zero. Please understand that he is very precious to me, and if he was put in any 'unnecessary danger' things will burn." The atmosphere became thicker as the two purebloods stared each other down, neither willing to back down.

"Jessica, you're threatening me after you spoke about co-existence? Are you not just canting?" Kaname glared at the female. He vaguely remembered Jessica had an odd attachment to a hunter family but did not think it was the Kiryuus. This will put a hitch in his plan for Yuuki's safety.

"I only threaten you because you have threatened what is mine. It does not matter if I'm a hypocrite, but you are the leader of the Night Class, no? Your actions reflect on how your followers act and react. Judging by the way your blond guard dog is acting, I wonder if Cross made the right decision in putting you in charge." Jessica immensely enjoyed egging the Night Class on, violence wasn't allowed on campus so she'd have to make do with her verbal bullying. It would please her to no end if they lost control, but she knew Kaname was a good leader despite her barbs.

If Aidou was angry before, now he was furious. How dare this woman belittle Kaname-sama's leadership skills? He'll show her just how much of a guard dog he can be. In his rage he forgot where he heard the name Jessica from and failed to sense just what level of Vampire she was. The temperature grew colder as he began to form his ice but was stopped by a sudden backhand.

"Aidou, did I say I needed your defense? There are Day Class students around and you are further proving Jessica's point." Aidou felt a wave of shame wash over him, now his leader was mad and he had embarrassed his leader. The president looked towards Jessica. "I apologize if it seemed as if I were threatening Kiryuu-kun, it was not my intention. I was only looking out for Yuuki's safety. If you have problems with my leadership you can discuss it over dinner tonight." With that the pureblood headed toward classes in a foul mood, his circle following him. He didn't even say goodbye to Yuuki who was watching him with worried eyes.

After Kaname disappeared from sight Yuuki turned to the confused Day Class students to rush them off. They left without a fight and Zero, Jessica, and herself remained.

Zero couldn't believe what just happened. "Jessica! All you purebloods are the same, you were talking about me as if I weren't there. I can damn well defend myself, and I am not your possession." He turned to storm off but the softness in her voice stopped him. "Zero please don't be mad. I just got back to you and it feels like I'm losing you. I used my powers and saw the destruction this girl could cause. I know I shouldn't have but it isn't only you I would lose if I continued to let these Kurans do as they please."

"You looked into the future?" Zero knew Jessica absolutely hated using her powers since she was young because she couldn't bear the responsibility of changing and unchanging the future. She didn't even do it for his parents' death. She must have really not liked Kuran for her to govern her power.

She looked even guiltier, "I did. You are my most precious person, and I felt threatened by Kaname. I won't do it without your permission next time." She compromised not wanting to fully give up her view on Zero's future. She then turned to look at Yuuki, "Kurans spell trouble."

"I'm not quite sure who you are but you didn't have to speak to Kaname-senpai like that. He works very hard to protect the peace in this school and you were harassing him to fight. I'm gonna have to take you to the Chairman." Yuuki said brashly to the girl who was observing her openly.

"Tell me Zero, why do you protect a girl who doesn't stand up for you and takes the side of your rival?" Furthermore is a pureblood which you hate she added mentally, not sure why Yuuki smelt like a human but didn't want to cause anymore friction.

"Hey, I am talking to you!" Yuuki said as she was ignored, much like Aidou. Jessica continued her observations of the female prefect and disliked what she saw. This girl wasn't deserving of Zero's attention, she was flat, annoying, and rubbed her the wrong way. She recalled meeting Yuuki at a younger age and didn't remember feeling such dislike for the girl. "You don't remember me at all do you? We have met when you were a child and even then you were a brash one." She stepped closer to the younger female, "You don't have to take me to Kaien-jiji. I am a new student for the Night Class, if you couldn't tell by the uniform."

"Speaking of, shouldn't you be getting to class? And leave Yuuki alone, she was the one who picked up the pieces when you left." Jessica scoffed but now she felt like a huge dickbag. She judged Yuuki before getting to know her simply because she took some of Zero's attention. "Okay, okay, I'm going…" She then begrudgingly apologized to Yuuki, "Hey, I'm sorry for catching an attitude with you. I get jealous very easily." She gave a smile, "I'll see you at dinner with Kaien-jiji. You too Zerorin." She headed to class, where she knew she was already hated.

"Who was she Zero? And why does she keep calling you her precious person?" Yuuki wanted to know more about the impressionable pureblood making claim in Zero's life. "And why does she say we've met before? I don't think I could forget someone that rude."

"That was my childhood friend Jessica Bally. She was the first and only pureblood I've ever trusted. She wormed her way into my family with her obnoxious behavior." A far away looked crossed his eyes as he remembered his family life. "She has always been abrasive so I don't think you should take offence to her. As for her meeting you, she used to be one of the few people backing his dreams for his school of co-existence, it is very likely you have met."

Yuuki pondered on what Zero said and asked the question burning the most in her mind, "You said she was your childhood friend, but she keeps calling you her precious person and even threatened Kaname-senpai. Tell me something Zero, what is she to you now?"


"Kaname-sama who was that insolent girl who challenged your authority?" Ruka asked the still steaming pureblood. The rest of the Night Class were quite concerned as well, it was blasphemy for someone to rebel against a pureblood and not be put in their place. The only ones who openly got away with that was Kiryuu and that was due to the close connection he had with the Cross and his daughter.

"That insolent girl is Jessica Bally, a pureblood vampire originating from the Caribbean. She was sent to an elite school in New York by her parents after befriending a hunter family and turning on her parents." Aidou paled at the realization while Ruka looked disgusted. Kain, Shiki, and Rima were stone faced and Ichijou remained his chipper self.

"That woman still shouldn't have spoken to you like that Kaname-sama, you do your best to ensure peace at this school and she snubs you for a filthy Level D. It's sickening." Ruka complained with Aidou nodding vigorously behind her.

"She was protecting what she deemed hers and I did not want the situation to escalate. I am warning you all now, no matter how much you think she disrespects me do not attempt to harm her. She is a fellow pureblood and if she saw fit to retaliate, it would be well in her rights." The pureblood looked specifically towards Aidou and his cousins. "Kain please keep Aidou in line while Jessica resides here. The rest of you be sure to remain civil with her. I doubt Jessica will attack you knowing you're all under my command, but do not take her lightly. There was a reason she was sent away."

Kaname was still miffed about the incident but forced himself to think calmly, it wouldn't do for him to get into an altercation with the female pureblood. He knew Jessica was trying to frustrate him and he won't let her get under his skin. They both had the same goal, just with different ways of achieving it. He will not fault her for trying to protect her precious person when he does the same. Her attitude could be better though.

As Kaname was formulating on how he can use the fellow pureblood to his advantage the notoriously cold economics teacher walked in to begin classes. "Bloodsuckers, we have a new student joining us today and some of you may know her. Her name is Jessica Bally and she is joining us from an elite school in America." He faced the door and called out sarcastically, "You can come in now your highness."

"Such a warm welcome Yagari-niisan, charming as usual." Jessica bit back, her feelings still in a rut.

"Don't call me that you parasite. It's bad enough you're back to harass Zero, but don't act as if we were ever friends." Yagari barely tolerated her when she was a child, now that she's a teen he doesn't think he ever will. She left at a highly suspicious time when Zero would need her the most. He'd heard she went to a boarding school but kept it from Zero to help him realize once a vampire has used you, they disappear.

"You are completely correct, we weren't friends. That doesn't change the fact that Zero still loves me and I'm a part of his life." Jessica felt as if the day couldn't get any more stressful, but she Yagari to know what is happening. "Regardless of what you think my intentions are, I value Zero more than life and I will do everything in my power to shield him from harm again." Yagari knew she was telling the truth, like he did when she was a young girl yet still, "If you disappear again, I will make sure of your death."

The other members of the class looked on as the infamous economics teacher come to an understanding with the new student and wondered how no blood was spilt with all the tension in the room. An unwilling sliver of respect formed for her as they saw the dedication she had for the ex-human, a dedication that reminded them of how Kaname is with Yuuki. Purebloods are known for their possessiveness and it showed massively with these two.

Jessica addressed the class and gave her introduction, "I do apologize for getting off on the wrong foot with some of you, but understand I was threatened and in my position I'm sure you all would have done the same." She met eyes with the other pureblood, "Forgive me Kaname, but you do understand my reasons, right?" He shared a look with her confirming this. She moved her eyes towards Aidou and continued, "I also apologize for calling you a dog, but know your place as well. I'll forgive you for calling me ignorant, only because you yourself was ignorant of my status." Aidou gave a gulp as her look turned frigid. "Please be mindful that I am to be treated with respect and in turn you will have mine. I am a pacifist but I will burn anything that hurts my loved ones."

"And is that half breed one of your loved ones?" A Level C vampires sneered from the back of the room. Before anyone could blink Jessica had the lower rank vampire gasping for breath. "I did inform you that I must to be treated with respect, some of which you seem to lack. Let this be a lesson to those who believe they are above the rules of our society." If it wasn't established before, the hierarchy became clearer to those in the night class. She has shown she can admit her faults and that she will enforce her authority if need be.

"That is enough Bally. Take your seat and open your books to page 309, I need to at least pretend I'm not babysitting a bunch of leeches." Yagari grumbled as he checked on the now passed out bloodsucker.

'It is shaping out to be a taxing night,' Jessica thought. 'I wonder what will happen when I actually have to stay in the Moon Dorms.'


A.N. It is a shorter chapter with still no yaoi but I promise you it will be coming soon. Jessica will start shipping them when they have dinner which will be next chapter. I know she's annoying now but she gets better. The whole Yuuki-her beef isn't beef but a friendship that will develop with the yaoi.
