Chapter 3: Flashbacks

I woke up in the morning, and groaned. Today was the day I started my 'new' school. I pulled on the uniform that I had seen in every episode of the anime, and stuffed my prefect armband in the pocket of the jacket.

I strapped my weapons into the holsters on my thighs, checking to make sure they were secure. The weapons were twin Sai, and on the handles was the name Black Lightning, entwined in thorns with the Cross Academy emblem.

They looked deadly, and I hoped I would never have to actually use them. All of a sudden, my head started to hurt, and my vision blurred.

*This was the day my brothers and I had been waiting for. Today Master would teach us how to use weapons. I felt a weight on my stomach, and pulled the blanket off my head. Zero was sitting on me, giggling. "Get up Onee-chan! It's Saturday!" I smiled weakly at him, pushing him off. We went down to breakfast, chattering about school. Ichiru was sitting at the table, looking a little crestfallen, but he brightened up when he saw us. "Are you kids excited about today?" Asked Father, smiling at us. Our parents were happy their children were doing so well in training. Well, all except one. Ichiru's grades had been slipping, and he was missing a lot of training because he was sick.

The talk turned to the weapons we had chosen. I had picked Sai, Zero a gun, and Ichiru a sword. We couldn't wait to get started.*

My sight cleared, and I was back in the spare room. "What the hell was that?!" I muttered, pulling on my boots. If I didn't hurry, I was going to be late. I had to meet Yuki before class to get a 'tour' of a place I should already know.

I ran down the steps, and threw open the glass door, revealing a smiling Yuki. "Hi Saki-chan! The Headmaster told me you lost your memory after that accident. Don't worry, I'll explain everything to you!" she said in her overly-cheerful voice. She led me around the school grounds, showing the cafeteria, stables, Sun dorms, and classrooms, leaving the Moon dorms for last.

"And this is were we meet for crossover." She explained crossover to me, and while she did, I got a dark feeling from the Moon dorms. The air was heavy with a strong scent that I couldn't place, and the aura screamed death. I swallowed nervously, hoping Yuki would get us out of here. She finished her monologue, and pulled me off to class, remarking that if were late, we would set a bad example.

Zero wasn't there of course, which led to Yuki worrying. She asked me to sit with her and Yori, which I did, Yuki introducing us fast. She quickly told Yori I lost my memories, and then class started.

*time skip*

We put away our math books for Ethics, and Toga Yagari walked in. As he introduced himself, our eyes met. I got that headache feeling again, and I spaced out, faintly aware of the chatter of the girls.

*Zero and Ichiru were both feeling a little nauseated at school, and after class I visited with them, waiting for the Master to pick us up. Our parents were on another important mission, and this time they expected to be gone for a week.

I was sitting on Ichiru's bed, telling him and Zero what they missed, when it happened. The Master had just walked in, and I stood up, cutting my leg on the bed. Blood trickled out, and the pretty nurse turned into a Level E right in front of our eyes. She lunged at me, but Master intercepted her, aiming his shotgun at her head. Zero jumped up, and ran between them, screaming "No! She's a good person!"

I screamed at him to get away, and the nurse turned on him. Master acted fast, jumping in the way of the Level E's claws, catching it right in the face. Blood was everywhere, the scent thick in the air. *BANG!* And it was all over, the woman slowly dying from the gunshot wound in her neck. I was whimpering, hiding my face in Ichiru's chest.

That was the very first Level E I had seen. Afterwards, we sat outside with the Master, the bandages on his face soaking with blood. "Master, I will never let you regret losing your eye to save me." Zero was saying. I was standing in front of the Master, tugging nervously on my braid. "What do you want, little gaki?" he asked gruffly.

I blushed, and looked him in the eye. "Thank you for saving my life, Master. I owe you forever." I murmured. He rolled his eye, tugging me into his lap. "Idiot, I had to save you, or your parents would never let me hear the end of letting you die." He said, ruffling my hair. I sighed, resting my head on his chest. It was not often the Master showed affection, so I soaked it up.

He stroked my hair, as I watched my brothers chase each other. "Master, I'm glad you didn't die." I felt his chuckle rumble in his chest, and he flicked my cheek lightly. "So am I, little gaki

I snapped out of the flashback when Yuki pinched me hard.

"Ouch." I muttered, glaring at her. "Sorry, but class started." She whispered apologetically. I opened my Ethics book, and tried to pay attention, but the daydream kept invading my thoughts. I did my best not to look at Mr. Yagari, because I knew that would trigger daydreams, and I was sick of this girl's memories.

I knew eventually the memory of her parent's murder would surface, and I did NOT want to experience that first hand. And then there was the problem of my own memories. My own life was getting hazy, and the only things I could remember vividly were related to Vampire Knight. I was determined to hold onto my old life, and I spent the rest of the time reciting the names of my family and friends in my head.

*time skip*

Ethics was the last class of the day, and I gathered my books up, lost in thought. "Sakiru, could you stay after class, please?" asked Mr. Yagari, in his gruff voice. Yuki whispered that she would wait outside, and I approached Mr. Yagari's desk.

"You wanted to see me, Teacher?" I asked. He looked up from his book, studying me. "The old fool said you lost your memories." He said. I nodded. "Well, I guess I should introduce myself. I am Toga Yagari, your old master. Have any memories resurfaced at all?"

He asked, suspicion in his eye. I shook my head, lying. His eyebrow lowered, as he studied me. "You were always bad at lying to me, little gaki. I saw your face when our eyes met. You spaced out immediately, and you looked a million miles away. My face triggered a memory, didn't it little baka?"

he asked, his hunter aura surfacing. I quickly nodded, his aura scaring the hell out of me. He looked satisfied, and he stood up, towering over me. He ruffled my hair, and gathered his stuff. "Good. That fool was wondering if you would be ok. If memories are coming back to you, you ought to be just fine."

He left the classroom, and after a couple seconds, I did the same. Yuki looked relieved to see me. "I thought he was gonna kill you. He's scary looking." I giggled. "Nah, he just wanted to scold me." I lied. She nodded, and grabbed my arm, pulling. "We're gonna be late, let's go!"

A/N:so, third chapter! We got to see more of Sakiru's past, and her relationship with her Master, which was sooo adorbs! Ship wise, do you think I should keep their relationship Uncle/Niece, or do you think it should come to something more? Don't knock that, it's just a theory. Besides, I happen to think Toga is hot. (I need help, I know! :p) My other favorite guys are Hanabusa, Zero, ( who is out of the question...sad)Rido, (sorry, but nyaaah! he's hot. I have issues…XD) and Takuma. Until chapter four, byeee!!!
