Chapter 2

The Academy at Night

Yuuki Cross and Ichiru Kiryu are the school guardians at Cross Academy. At every night they stay up to patrol the school grounds. However, the day class is not allowed out at night but every other night, there are always some who claim that they are taking pictures. Tonight is no difference and while out Yuuki can't help but notice some girls out on the lawn.

"Oh, here we go again." After that, she jumped from the ledge, grabbing the branch with such hard force that it broke, falling to the ground. "Oh! ARRHHH!"

The lawn was lush with green grass and a fountain in the middle of the lawn. The two girls in question looked like first years that had come out with cameras. Yuuki had screamed so loud that it diverted their attention to her.

"Who's there?" One of them shouted.

"Hey, give me your names and class number," Yuuki told them, climbing out of the bushes, "leaving the dorm at night is…"

"Oh, it was you who fell, Cross."

At that point there was another noise, coming from the other side of the lawn. Ichiru had come out and, though Ichiru did not know it, Zero had come behind him.

"Yuuki!" They said together behind them.

"Zero," Ichiru said spinning round at the sight of his brother, "what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class still."

"OH, IT'S KIRYU!"

"I'm sorry but I heard Yuuki from inside the class. Also, what are they doing here?" Zero finished pointing at the day class girls who were about to faint.

"More liked smelt her, beast!" Ichiru spat at his brother. "Plus why would you care for her? I thought that her hero…"

"Would come if Kiryu hadn't got here first," said a voice coming from the bushes again, which led towards the classes.

Yuuki was just about to answer before Ichiru had interrupted her but Hanabusa Aidou and Akatsuki Kain had walked out of the exact same bush that Ichiru and Zero had just walked out of.

"OH MY GOD! IT'S AIDOU AND KAIN!" the girls screamed, actually fainting at the end.

"Um…did I say something?" Asked Akatsuki looking around before quickly looking back at the classroom.

"No you didn't," Yuuki suddenly said, clutching her hand, which she suddenly realized that it was bleeding. "It was just the site of both of you after Zero came here that was all."

"Oh," Akatsuki begun, "so you think you can turn up in the night class and steal all of our limelight for President Kuran?" He added before turning on Zero.

"In case you haven't notice…I also appear to like Yuuki. It's not only the president that likes her!"

"How dare you talk about our GANG LEADER like that?" Hanabusa shouted only to hear yet another rustle from the bushes.

"Aidou, you think you can talk like that?" Kaname Kuran asked before appearing which made Yuuki rather angry.

"You know, I only came down here to tell the day class girls – who have appeared to fainted – to go back into their dorms, only I didn't need Zero to come out and scare them but it got even worse when Aidou and Kain came out. So please can you all go back to your lessons?"

"Fine, I'm going back on patrols. Yuuki, don't get hurt again." Ichiru replied, turning to walk back in the direction he came.

"Um…Zero, can you hold back a minute please?" Yuuki asked catching Zero before he disappeared into the distance.

"What is it, Yuuki?"

"The headmaster has me engaged to someone."

"Really?" Zero asked, smirking

"Yeah, but I don't know who and he won't tell me. And please don't look at me like that"

Zero wiped the smirk off his face. "So why are you telling me?"

"I might think that you know something about this."

"Why would I?"

Yuuki leans towards him. "Kaname might have said that it was him and maybe you heard him so you're going to tell me."

"Look," Zero adds beginning to turn around, "He doesn't like me - he can just about put up with me - so why would he tell me anything like that? Oh and can you sort out their memories, it might be the best for them." He finished, pointing at the two day class girls.

So Zero left Yuuki to return to his class, leaving her wandering about her future husband that no-one would tell her about. Who was it? Why would no-one tell her? And what was Zero hiding from her? Maybe the fact that Kaname will kill him? Or is it him? What was the world hiding from Yuuki again?

Hope you guys liked it. Next chapter will be up when I get the time.
