"Well…this is stupid." Those were the first words that came out of my mouth when I came out of the washroom.
"See!? It suits you! You look wonderful!" The Headmaster sing-songed.
My eye twitched. This man was a nut case. The Headmaster had convinced me (after about an two hours…I swear, it's eleven thirty pm already.) to try on the Night Class uniform. I just got annoyed with all of his 'please try it on! You'll look SO PRETTY in it'. So I did. To put it simply…I HATED it. It was white, there was a skirt, AND it was not my style. I wanted to rip it off and burn it.
We still had not decided if I was going to teach or if I was going to have to be a… Night Class Student. I shuddered at the thought. This was not going to end well. If I could not teach, I was hoping that I would be put into the day class and be a 'prefect', like Headmaster Cross' daughter, Yuuki, and his son, Zero, were.
"I hate it." I said bluntly.
Headmaster Cross' smile faltered a bit. "But you look so pretty in it!"
"I don't care. I. Hate. It." I said stubbornly.
Now Kaien Cross was not smiling. I could tell he was thinking about what to do with me. I was also wondering what he was going to do with me. Personally, I did not want to even look at the vampires, unless I get to kill them in a very painful and very unpleasant way.
"Well…I suppose you can teach…but as soon as Toga Yagari is finished his stay here, you will have to join a class." He told me, seriously
"NOT the Night Class." I said.
"You might have to, for you to carry out your mission." Kaien Cross said.
My eye twitched slightly. This was just making the level of my anger rise with every passing moment. Screw the Hunter's Association. I am not going to join the Night Class. I can monitor them perfectly from the Day Class. I do not need to be in the same room as those damn vampires. Could the Headmaster not see that I hate vampires and I'll kill them if I am in the same room as them?
"We'll discuss this more tomorrow morning. You need some sleep." He said.
"Alright…where am I supposed to sleep?" I asked.
"Well…we have an unoccupied room in the Sun dorm. You can sleep there." He said.
"Okay. Which one?" I asked.
"I'll call someone to escort you."
"I do not need an escort. I am perfectly capable of finding my way to the Sun dorm by myself." I said.
"Yes, I know, but, it's dangerous at night. I would feel better if you had an escort." The Headmaster said.
"I will be fine. I am armed. I'll see you tomorrow, Cross." With that, I exited the room, my black trench coat trailing behind me.

I walked out into the cool, fresh, clean midnight air. It was truly refreshing after being stuck in that stuffy office. I ran a hand through my hair, shaking it out. I needed to grab my bag from my bike. It had all of the bare necessities I needed.
When I reached my bike, I realized that my keys had been in my trench coat's pockets, which had been emptied by the Headmaster. I grumbled under my breath and turned around to go back to the academy.
As I was walking back, I noticed two girls from the day class. What the hell were they doing outside? It was supposedly 'dangerous'. Well…for them it probably was. They were unaware that there were vampires attending this academy. One of the girl's was on the ground, so I walked up to them, to see what was going on.
"What are you doing out here at night? Are you not supposed to be asleep?" I growled.
"Uhm…" One of the girls started.
I noticed that the other girl was bleeding. With vampires around, it was dangerous.
"You should get that cleaned up and get back inside." I said, in a voice that was a little less threatening. I did not want to freak them out…that much.
One of the girls was about to open her mouth to say something, but before she could, none other that Yuuki Cross jumped out of a tree.
"You there! Give me your names and class numbers!" She said as she flashed her prefect's badge "Leaving the dorm at night is prohibited in the school rules! It's dangerous out here. Get back to your dorm quickly!"
"We came out here to take pictures of the night class. A few minuets shouldn't matter." One of the girls said.
"You're bleeding? Not good…Hurry! Get back to the dorm!"
"Huh?" Both girls said stupidly.
I guess I was invisible. She completely ignored me. Heh…this chick was stupid. Then her head whipped to the side and she pulled out a metal rod and put it in a defensive position.
"Who's there?!" She yelled out.
"Scary…" Came the reply of a vampire. "The Headmaster has trained you well."
"Oh! The night class! Akatsuki Kain! Hanabusa Aido! Wow…" The girls were swooning over the two male night class students. How idiotic.
"Oh dear! We only came to look because we smelt blood…how mean Yuuki. We just happened to drop by…"
Oh dear. I knew what was going to happen. He was going to drink the girl's blood. I needed to stop him. Yuuki put the metal rod near the leech's face, but he caught it easily.
"Aido! If you touch these girls…I will punish…" Yuuki started.
"Did you fall? The nice smell…is your blood…Yuuki." Aido said.
He grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her closer to him. I saw her try to wield her rod, but she could not. The vampire was too strong.
"I'm really…very…tempted." he said as he began to suck blood from her hand.
"Is he a vampire?" One of the girls cried.
"No way! There's no such thing!" The other one said unsurely.
"No, Aido! No…" Yuuki said helplessly.
"I want more… may I partake from your neck?" The leech asked.
"NO! No, no, no! I can't give you any! Aido!" Yuuki cried.
The two girls had passed out and I had seen enough. I drew my larger gun out and released the safety. Then I put it to his head, at the same time, Zero, the other prefect appeared. He also had a gun and it was pointing directly at Aido.
"Drinking blood is forbidden on campus, is it not?" I said in a threatening tone.
"Did you lose your mind…drunk on the scent of blood…vampire?" Zero asked in an angry voice.
"Zero! NO!" I heard Yuuki yell.
"Eh? But I've already tasted her…" Aido said.
With that, Zero shot. Heh, heh, heh… This boy had less self-control around vampires than I did. Then Yuuki ran up to Zero and lifted his arm up, to prevent him from shooting Aido. Zero shot, but it hit a tree. I glared at the back of Yuuki's head and put my own gun away.
"Oh! That scared me!" Aido said
"Stupid! Why did you shoot?" Yuuki yelled.
I just sighed. This was stupid. I would really love to shoot everyone here at the moment. I really needed some sleep too. I am a moody person when I do not get my sleep. I yawned and began to walk away, but a voice stopped me.
"My, my, my would you put that away? Your 'bloody rose' gun. It is a great threat to us, as you know. I will deal with this fool and wait for the Headmaster's instructions.
"President Kuran." Aido muttered
"Is that acceptable…Kiryu?" The pure blood asked.
I stopped and turned around. There I found myself face to face with the pureblood vampire Kaname Kuran. I took a step back and then I glared, but he did not glare at me.
"And you are…?" He asked in a normal voice, but I could catch the hint of danger in it.
"Fire." was my short one-worded reply, as I turned away and walked back towards the academy.
"Hm… Yuuki you will…" His voice faded away as walked farther and farther away from the forest clearing.
I was in sight of the academy, when a voice called my name.
"FIRE!! Hey! Wait up, Fire!" I stopped and looked behind me. It was Yuuki Cross. I wondered what she wanted.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"The two girls who passed out, we need help carrying them." Yuuki said.
I gave her a weird look and sighed.
"Fine. Where do we have to carry them?"
"We need to take them back to the Headmaster's office. He'll modify their memories there." Yuuki replied, as we walked side by side.
"This school is weird." I muttered.
Yuuki giggled.
"What?" I asked in a semi-annoyed voice.
"You'll love the school once you're used to it! All the girls are really nice, unless you get in-between them and the night class. Then they aren't that nice. They are actually pretty scary. The night class s really nice too. Especially Kaname-sama. He is really kind and caring."
"I'm not sure about that. I don't like vampires." I said.
"What? Why?" Yuuki said in a shocked voice.
"I…I have my reasons. None of them are very pleasant either." I said with a dark, bitter smile on my face.
"Oh…" Yuuki said, knowing not to press the issue.
We reached the clearing and Zero was there, he had already picked one of the girls up and had her thrown over his shoulder. I sighed and walked over to the other girl.
"Okay Fire. You grab her arms and I'll grab her legs and on the count…" Yuuki trailed off. I had already lifted the other girl over my shoulder. Luckily she was light.
"Let's just go." I muttered.
"Alright." Yuuki said.
"You have a nice gun, Zero." I said.
Hw gave me a strange look. "Thanks." Was all he said.
We finally made it to the academy. The girl on my shoulders was getting really heavy. We went into the headmaster's office and I simply dropped the girl on his floor. Her body made a sickening 'thump' when it hit the floor. I was tired. I was in a really bad mood. I wanted to shoo something.
"Can I have my keys?" I asked, unfortunately the headmaster was not in the room at the moment, to it sounded like I was talking to myself.
"Your…keys?" Zero asked, while looking at me like I was crazy.
"Yeah. They were in my pockets. They got emptied. I have no keys now." I muttered.
"Okay…" Yuuki said.
"Never mind." I muttered. "I'm just going to sleep here."
"What?" Yuuki asked
"I am tired. I need sleep. I have been awake for the past twenty-four hours. I will shoot something if I do not get some sleep right now." I said groggily.
I walked over to couch and fell on it. I was just too tired to care anymore. I was exhausted. I would just have to deal with everything in the morning. Right now, I just did not care. All I wanted to do was sleep. It was what I needed most at the moment. As soon as those thoughts went through my head, I was instantly asleep.
