Chapter 2:

Zero scrutinized his reflection in the mirror of the headmaster's bath. He was wearing the new Night Class uniform identically the same away as the discarded Day Class one: jacket undone with the crimson tie hanging loosely around his neck. The oldest Kiryu twin felt a lump in his throat as he took in his "new" appearance. There was a sense of comfort in the simple Day Class uniform. His old uniform was a familiar black, like the darkness that had been nurtured in his heart; these clothes were too whit, to pristine. Too pure.

Shaking himself from his thoughts, Zero exited the bathroom and retrieved his books. This perplexed Zero a little, as he never thought the bloodsuckers ever actually learned anything. What surprised him even more was that the books were actually heavy.

"I'm sorry Yuki can't make it. She really wanted to see you off," Kaien said from the doorway.

"Well maybe she wouldn't have to stay after class for falling asleep if you didn't make her work all night," Zero snapped back.

As golden eyes softened, the young vampire caught a glimpse of the wounds poisonous words caused his adoptive father.

However, dormant Hunter pride was shown as Cross brushed off the mild insult to his parenting skills. "Does it fit?" he asked, changing the subject.

"Yes," Zero gave his bare minimum of a response.

In the amber eyes of Kaien Cross, Zero looked quite handsome in the clean, white uniform. However for once the ex-hunter decided not to voice his thoughts, lest he see like a pervert (like that had ever stopped him before).

"Class is starting soon. Are you sure you're ready?"

"As ready as I can be for something like this."

O O O O

There were mixed emotions as the former human entered the classroom. Apparently, each vampire had their own opinion of the new student, contrary to Zero's previous belief that the pureblood Dorm President controlled even the emotions of the students.

The glassy blue eyes of Senri Shiki and Rima Toya appraised him apathetically before going back to their pocky; Takuma Ichijo's emerald gaze was soft with concern. Chocolate orbs belongs to Akatsuki Kain watched him with mild interest as azure glare of his younger cousin, Hanabusa Aidou, threatened to burn a hole into Zero's very soul. The only eyes not on him belonged to Ruka Souen, who was silently staring at the surface of her desk.

It had been awhile since Zero felt so awkward. Trying to ignore the unwanted attention he was receiving, Zero walked briskly to a sent far in the back of the classroom and sat down his books. Just as he was about to sit, Zero felt the intense stares of the Night Class shift from him as well as heard exited murmuring.

"Welcome, Kaname-sama!"

"Kaname-sama, we were worried you weren't coming."

"We're glad you could make it Kaname-sama."

Zero didn't bother turning around. He had no desire to see the prince of Kuran; hearing his loyal subjects' adoring babble made him sick enough.

However, it didn't surprise him when Kaname approached him. After all, Zero Knew how illnesses worked: they always got worse before they got better.

"Zero, how are you feeling?" asked the smooth voice of the pureblood.

"Don't patronize me, Kuran," Zero hit out.

"How dare you?" Aidou exclaimed. Kaname –sama asked –"

"Aidou, that's enough," Kaname stated with an icy tone.

Aidou clenched his fists and held his tongue, but not everyone was satisfied.

"But Kaname-sama! You asked him a question," Ruka said finishing Aidou's previous statement. "He should at least have respect to answer –"

"Ruka."

Just the cold stating of her name was enough to quiet her.

All eyes were on the pureblood as he gracefully took the seat next to the one Zero had previously claimed. Unwilling to sit next to the prince, Zero moved to pick up his books again. However, he was stopped by a voice that flowed like deliciously split blood.

"Sit with me," the pureblood demanded more than requested.

Deciding to ignore him, Zero reached for his books again. The whole Night Class stood in a shocked silence as Kaname firmly grasped the former human's wrist and forcefully pulled him into the seat beside him.

"Sit with me," he repeated.

Before Zero could explode with rage that bloodsucker actually touched hi, Hunter and Ethics teacher Toga Yagari entered the classroom.

"Alright vampires take a seat and open up to page 428," his deep voice drawled.

Zero was really starting to regret his decision.
