Zero POV

I walked into my literature class and sat in the back of the room. Everyone started to settle down when our teacher came in and as usually Yuuki did her usually, "I'm so sorry teacher that I'm late again. Prefects duties are harder than I thought." and sat in the middle row with Tania. She looked over her shoulder to lock eyes with me but I broke it looking out the window. I knew later she was getting to me later for being late and not introducing myself to the new kid.

"Attention class, today we are going to study on Ro-" Mr. Kagoshima was interrupted by a loud knock. Slowly the door creaked open and the smell of blood covered roses sneaked into my mind. My head snapped towards the door and there stood a shy girl with a strong cat like emerald eyes that was breaking through her jet black hair with a streak of red on the side. She stood tall and walked across the room with her boots making low echoing noises that seems to bounce off these walls endless.

"I'm sorry for disruption of your class Mr. Kagoshima. I'm new here and I kinda got lost." she said with a small smile on her face. Digging through her bag she pulled out a slip and Mr. Kagoshima took and gave a smile and a nod.

"Welcome! I'm glad you join and I hope you like my lessons."

He stretched out his hand to show her where she should sit near the windows next to a boy name Hushui. He was really a quite kid with a lean body I got to say who really takes kinds to people sitting next to him but seeing the new girl the way she is- he was cool with it. Hushui pulled out the chair for her and gave a small nod of acceptance and stared out the window.

Mr. Kagoshima face looked down at the name and of the new kid and wrote it down in the students attendance and put it away. "As I was saying, today we're going to learn about the tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet from William Shakesphere." Mr. Kagoshima gave a sigh when he heard some of the classmate moan.

I really don't mind. It's just a sappy love story written by a old guy back in the day because he thought love is might to begin and end the way he written it and for me... well...nothing. As one of the student was heading out the worn down book to each of the students Mr. Kagoshima filled the blanks, "William Shakesphere wrote one of the most common and romantic stories that is always re-lived in now-a-days for plays, movies and truth be told... people OWN life-specially teenagers." I scuffed at the idea. Which got Mr. Kagoshima attention.

"You got something to say about the book Zero-kun." I faced him and slowly shook my head. He turned his glare towards the side and slowly soften his glaze on the new girl who was flipping through the book. "What do you think about the book Anika?"

She looked up from her book looking startled. She looked around her to make sure it was really her and slowly sulked behind the book when she realized it was her. "I think the book is amazing but... I really don't love the ending." she gave a weak smile and shrugged. Even I knew that answer was going to lead to Mr. Kagoshima question mania. I could see it behind his spectacles ignite in burning passion (Oh boy).

While I completely zoned out into my own world and just ignoring the fire in my chest. Sometimes its easy while other times were difficult but the scent of fresh roses tinted with blood was somehow... soothing. Inhaling it was like drink warm chocolate that brings the sensation melting the tension go away. The hunger going away which was kinda nice...almost like I was human. I knew it couldn't last long cause I thought the feeling can last forever but the bell ranged to end my moment. I grapped my things and was this close out the door when I knew Yuuki will catch up to me.

"Zero where have you been! I've been looking for you every where that I was late again."

"Who asked you to look for me to begin with" I retorted back. I saw the twinge of hurt in her eyes but I could care last for being this close to her. I needed to get away. I tried pulling away but she cut me down short, "You have to help the new kid around and you need to see Kain for something."

I was about to argue but the scent of roses got my nose. I turned around to see her walking away with... Hushui by her side. The most shocking thing is... she made him CRACK a smile and blush and the feeling for the sight was mutual, I think. I pulled my self away and hid into the crowd still ignoring Yuuki yelling for me to come back but I jumped over the wall and headed my way to Kain office.

But sadly I don't know what's more torturous... the hunger or not smelling blood tinted roses again.

******* LATER in the day in Kain office*******

I was standing in his office waiting for his orders and what-not so I can going doing my night prowling later but something was up with Kain today. I've been standing in the same spot for over 20 minutes and he still rampaging through his room for something.

"Ummm KAIN," trying to control my impatiences, "Why am I here?"

I looked up from his desk drawers and pulled out a prefect ribbon and bloody rose gun? "What's going on?" I asked taking a step towards the desk and looking at the gun.

He took a seat in his chair,"While you were out wondering around, I got to know the new student and now joined our wonderful family of protecting the day and night classes," he said in a oddly high pinch voice and I could have sworn I saw a cape flapping behind him.

I pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance, "And you point will be is?"

"The point IS you are going to give her this today and take her out patrolling with you since Yuuki have some errands to run." he handed the gun and ribbon in my hand and spun the chair around to look outside at the setting sun. "Over 2,500 new students come to our school distract, for both, day and night and only one out of all of them will be and the know about Vampire life."

"Where would this new kid be?" I asked not really caring.

" At the courtyard around seven waiting for you and please be nice." I sulked and headed my way.

This is going to be a hard night and I swear if its a guy patrolling with me tonight, I'm so ditching the guy in the woods.

Anika POV

I was glad I snuck past one of Mr. Kagoshima's questions about Romeo and Juliet. I swear, its like every answer I gave to him, he was so damn intrigued to let it go and move on to another kid in the class. Specially the guy next to me who kept snickering every time I shrinked into my seat like a rabbit caught hopping down the street.

I let out a long sigh of relief and was walking out when I notice a silver hair bobbing at the door. Zero was probably a foot taller than Yuuki and it seemed like they were having a tough conversation that I shut my ears not to hear. So I slithered my way by than and was about free when I felt a cold hand on my shoulder which made me slightly shudder thinking it was Mr. Kagoshima with more questions but it turn it to be the kid who was sitting beside me.

"Hi, my name is Hushui," he said with a quite voice and stuck out his hand.

I gave a small smile and shook his hand which was engulfed in is, "Nice to met ya." I couldn't help but laugh when I saw his cheeks flare red. Hushui from a distance was a tough looking guy with his black eyes and dark blue shagged hair and the silver lip ring with a snake head on it. He probably must be 6 ft 1 and I have to say he had a kinda buff body but acting a shy little school boy was way out of my imagination.

"Mr. Kagoshima likes you a lot," he said breaking the silence between us.

I let a low laugh, "Oh really?"

He broke out into a contagious smile, "Ya, all the opinions you had of Romeo and Juliet was so good that of course he had to question."

"And may I ask why is that?"

"Cause... questioning is in his nature." I rolled my eyes and his simply answer but couldn't keep a straight face when I saw that smile on his face again.

"Anika, do you have a tour guide?" I was supposed to be shown by Zero but it seems to me that his busy or he doesn't want to help me out so I shook my head, "Nope."

His smile broaden even wider and he slung his arm around my shoulder which kinda knocked the wind right out of me. "Where do you want to show me first Zilla." I said nudging him in the rib.

"Oooo we're giving each other nicknames now huh? Fine hmmm..." he went in thought while tapping his chin to think.

"Just call me hoppy," I suggested.

He arched a eyebrow at me and looked at me, "Why hoppy?"

I planted a sneaking grin on my face and pulled the corner of his collar so he can lean down a bit to my lips so I can tell him my secret, "I'm very hyper sometimes." I let got of his collar and snuck out from under his arm and laughed. I turned around to see him behind me with a smirk on his face.

"You should call me speedy, hoppy," he said.

I folded my arms with a knowing smile on my face, "Are we going to stand around here or is my speedy of a tour guide going to show me around." He blushed a little and led the way.

******* LATER on *******

I never knew this place was sooo huge when Hushui showed me around. It was so much fun till I got a call with Yuuki telling me to go to the courtyard around seven and at this moment its 6:45 pm. I kinda felt sad telling Hushui that I had to go now. The hurt look was too much to that I couldn't help but hug him and thanked him. I ran ahead to the back way when he showed me the courtyard awhile back.

Narrative:

As Anika gave Hushui a quick hug she ran back to the scenario they saw a while ago, but she didn't notice the sound of her phone slipping out of her pocket. Hushui was settling the fuzzy feelings till he stepped on her phone. He picked up the phone and stuffed it into his pocket with a thought about seeing her again tomorrow and giving it back, but first... he will leave his phone number in it so she could call him later.
