A/N: I don't own Vampire Knight. But I do own my OC. Btw, I'm just using the names of the Bleach charas. It's not an actual Bleach Crossover. Sorry for any confusion.
Chapter 1
Zero-kun is the most dangerous former human I have ever seen. He was born the older of two twins to a family of vampire hunters. Zero-kun became a vampire while Ichiru-kun did not. Ichiru-kun sacrificed himself so Zero-kun could kill Rido Kuran-sama. Even now as I contemplate the circumstances which caused Kaname Kuran-sama to summon me here, it hexes me with its complex problems to which there is only one answer. Kill Zero-kun; which I could never do, even if Kaname-sama ordered me to. No one at Cross Academy has any idea of my true identity, other than possibly Kaname-sama. Thus, my parents' forgetfulness to put me in their latest and final in the case of Juuri-sama, wills has protected me.
"Zero-kun!" Yuuki-sama exclaims when she finally reaches the bottom of the stairs.
"Watch out," he whispers as he moves Yuuki-sama slightly to the side so I may pass. Yes, I know I'm supposed to be invisible but he hears me whether I'm invisible or not, so why waste the energy to hide myself from him? Anyway, he's so hot (!) I'd lose my concentration and he would see me. Thankfully, no one knows I'm crushing on Zero-kun, except possibly Zero-kun himself.
"Huh?" Yuuki-sama asks as I nod in thanks and greeting to Zero-kun. Yuuki-sama realizes he's looking past her so she turns around. She turns back to him with a raised eyebrow and tilted head asking, "What are you looking at?"
Zero-kun raises his eyebrows at me and shakes his head. "It's not very important," he says. Oh, how I wish he lied!
I pout as they make their way to the Moon Dormitory Gate and Zero-kun winks at me. I am suddenly overcome with joy and relief that he actually had been lying. Carefully and silently, I follow Yuuki-sama and Zero-kun. I have to be careful so other vampires don't notice me. Hanabusa Aido-senpai is whistling when our entourage goes by and Ruka-chan smiles at Zero-kun. As she listens intently to find me I brush a bush with my finger so she knows where I am. Ruka-chan smiles toward me with open friendliness. Ruka-chan and I became fast friends when I moved in next door to her room. Not even she, my best friend, knows the secret of my family lineage.
'Keiko-chan, stay on task,' Kaname-sama whispers to me in thought.
'Be quiet!' I yell at him.
'Please, pay attention to Yuuki-sama,' he whispers. I look around to see Yuuki-sama's hair disappear around a corner. I run to catch up and possibly see Zero-kun. When I do catch up, Zero-kun has disappeared. Only Yuuki-sama stands in front of me. She is going into the market, so I hop to the top of the nearest tower. The higher I am, the less movement needed to keep an eye on Yuuki-sama.
'Where is-?' I think.
'Watch out!' Kaname-sama yells.
The intensity of his yell makes me jump and I begin to fall. Strong hands grab the tops of my shoulders and keep me from falling. I open my eyes, which I closed just as I began to fall, to see Zero-kun gazing gently on my face.
"Gotcha, and next time be careful where you place your feet," Zero-kun whispers in my ear as he pulls me onto a ledge of the tower I had been climbing. I blush a light, rosy pink and giggle at the thought, and reality, of my crush catching me and bringing me back to safety.
"I'll try to remember that, if there is a next time," I sigh. "Oh, no, where is Yuuki-sama?" I ask as I try, unsuccessfully, to twist my head to look. I feel his hand holding my chin in place.
"Just over there. I knew that you would leave me if I didn't keep an eye on Yuuki-sama for you," Zero-kun answers.
"Arigato, so very, very much," I sigh, "but do I really mean that much to you, Zero-kun?"
"Hai, you mean much more to me than Yuuki-sama, Keiko-chan," he explains.
'Wow,' Kaname-sama whispers thoughtfully.
"Oh, arigato! You don't know how that makes me feel!" I squeal.
"How much do I mean to you?" Zero-kun asks his voice slightly off pitch.
"You mean everything to me!" I squeak.
"Huh? What was that?" he asks.
"Where is Zero-kun? He doesn't usually wander off. Where could he be?" we hear echo below.
"Oops, got to run," Zero-kun whispers in my ear and then starts climbing down the tower to Yuuki-sama.
"I'll be watching!" I yell just loud enough for Zero-kun to understand.
As Zero-kun arrives at Yuuki-sama's position, she asks herself, "What was that?"
"Probably just the wind," Zero-kun says as he steps out of the shadows. Yuuki-sama jumps at the sound of his voice. I giggle at the prospect.
'Focus now, I let you have your fun,' Kaname-sama pleads.
'I don't actually have to take orders from you,' I reply.
'Huh?' he gasps.
'I am Rukya Kuchiki-sama, daughter of Byakuya Kuchiki-sama and Juuri Kuran-sama!'' I emphasize my mother's name.
'Impossible! Byakuya Kuchiki-sama had no daughters!' he yells.
'Ah! Stop yelling! Oh, no...' I think as I begin to plummet toward the ground.
'Tell no one of this, please,' I plead as I am about to hit the ground.
'Will you tell Zero-kun?' he asks thoughtfully.
'Not if I can help it,' I reply 10 seconds before my head touches the cobblestones.
Thunk!
I wake in my dorm room surrounded by friends (and family!). Zero-kun is absent like usual. Yuuki-sama and Kaname-sama relax in relief as my eyes flutter open.
"Nngh, what happened? How am I still alive?" I ask as the first headache I've had in years begins to throb.
"Who knows? Zero-kun caught you just in time," Yuuki-sama explains.
"He did?" I squeak.
"Hai," Kaname-sama confirms.
"You must have a headache, get some rest. Zero-kun said he might be stopping by later. Sayonara!" Yuuki-sama says. She then shoves Kaname-sama out the door and follows quickly with a wink.
"Dang it! Yuuki-sama told Keiko-kun! Why did she ruin the surprise?" Zero-kun asks himself.
"Oh my, I am way too excited to rest! I can't wait to see Zero-kun!" I squeal to myself but Zero-kun overhears.
"Aiyaa! She must get her rest or else she won't get any better!" he whispers quietly. He jumps up to my bedroom window on the second floor and knocks.
I gallop to the window and open it. "Zero-kun!" I yell as my hands grab his and pull him off the window sill. I let go of him only to close the window. Afterwards, I start hugging Zero-kun.
"I'm so happy to see you!" I scream into his chest. I let go of Zero-kun so I may bow thankfully.
"Arigato," I say.
"You're welcome, you little rascal," he replies, "I'm happy to see you, too."
I start crying hysterically and bury my head into his chest. He automatically puts his arms around me and walks to the bed so we can sit down.
"Yuuki-sama, Kaname-sama, I know you're listening!" Zero-kun yells.
"Aww! We just want to know when you'll kiss and announce that you're officially a couple!" Yuuki-sama shouts.
"Gosh, are you really serious Yuuki-sama?" I ask.
"Hai," Yuuki-sama responds.
"Well then, is this enough?" Zero-kun whispers as he leans forward and kisses me on the cheek.
"Ah!" Yuuki-sama screams joyously and Ruka-chan comes running.
"What is it?" Ruka-chan asks as Aido-senpai and Kain-senpai come up behind her.
"Zero-kun kissed Keiko-chan!" Yuuki-sama squeals.
"What?" Ruka-chan, Aido-senpai, and Kain-senpai shout.
"I need to see it!" Ruka-chan exclaims as Aido-senpai and Kain-senpai grumble, "Girls..."
Smack!
"Oww, that hurt Yuuki-sama," Aido-senpai complains. Ruka-chan runs to the door to see me. I turn my face, full of shock, to her. Zero-kun smiles and laughs at my reaction.
"Oh! Keiko-chan, are you okay?" Ruka-chan asks as she runs up to me.
"Better than 'okay'," I whisper, "I'm great!"
"Come, we must go to class, and Zero-kun must protect the day class students," Ruka-chan says. She glares meaningfully at Zero-kun 'til he shrugs and leaves.
"Zero-kun and Keiko-chan, are a couple!" Yuuki-sama sings throughout the Moon Dormitory.
"Nngh, why did he have to let Yuuki-sama have her way...?" I moan.
"Anyway, so did you like it? Do you like him? Does he like you? Did he kiss you on the lips? Did –?" Ruka-chan pelts me with question after question.
"Hold on! I can only answer one question at a time!" I yell, and then sigh, "He didn't kiss me on the lips; he might like me; I like him, a lot; and yes, I liked the kiss. There, now stop asking questions!"
"Hmph, you ruin all the fun," Ruka-chan pouts.
"I know," I whisper.
"Well, let's get to class before we are late and Kaname-sama yells at us," Ruka-chan smirks as she replies.
A/N: Please review! No flames, please! And I hope it was long enough, cuz I kno the next chappy is going to be really long. So I might need to put it up in two separate parts :( Please, someone needs to PM once in a while to remind me to work on it, cuz I get distracted... ^.^'
