Chapter 3
(OC POV)
"What's so great about the Night class?" I asked Yuuki, struggling a bit to keep up with her quick pace.
She giggled. I guess she does that a lot. "Well, for one thing, they are all gorgeous. But the main reason is that they are a special kind of vampire."
I raised my eyebrows. "Special?"
"Yes. They only eat blood tablets, a little pill that they developed to keep their blood lust in control."
"So they don't hunt humans?" My voice sounded suspicious.
"No, not usually. The thing is, they basically only let their vampire side govern them at night, which is usually when the Day class girls sneak out to get pictures of them. If one of the girls were to fall and cut them self then it would attract the vampires. Which is where we come in." She smiled. "It is our job to wander around at night, making sure there is no one out who shouldn't be."
"It doesn't sound that difficult." I pointed out.
"Oh you haven't had to deal with the gates yet."
"What's so bad about-" I was cut off by the sound of screaming girls as we walked outside. My hands flew to my ears and I moaned. "Headache."
"That's what's so bad. These girls are Night class crazy, don't let them pass the lines on the floor."
"And how am I supposed to prevent them from doing that?"
Yuuki sighed. "I haven't figured that out yet either. Zero does it by glaring at them so I suppose that might work. Everyone thinks of me as a softie so they don't listen to what I say."
"Great." I muttered.
"Hello Yuuki, Sumiko." Zero's voice came from behind us.
"Hello Zero." Yuuki said. I smiled at him.
"Hey!" Yuuki yelled loudly. No one stopped yelling.
"Quit it." Zero yelled. The courtyard turned silent.
Neat trick, I thought to myself.
Zero nodded at Yuuki to continue.
"This is Sumiko. She is a prefect just like Zero and I. You will treat her with respect, ok?"
Murmurs came through the crowd.
"New girl?"
"Nice hair!"
"Prefect?! Why does she get to be prefect?!" The latter was more audible over the crowd.
Yuuki turned back to me. "You'll have to get used to the resentment." She winced a little. "These girls get a bit jealous." The clock chimed. "Damn."
"What?" I asked.
"The gates will be opening soon. Try your best, ok? If it gets too hard Zero will keep them all in check."
"Gotcha." I began to walk away.
"And Sumiko." It was Zero. "Watch your back."
What did he mean by that, I wondered. I shrugged and began to attempt crowd control.
A second later, the gates began to slowly creak open. Everyone began to scream louder.
"Idol-senpai! Idol-senpai!"
"Kaname-senpai!"
"RUKAAAAAAAAAAAA!" One male voice cried.
They were attractive, I decided, but not as amazing as everyone made them out to be.
The one everyone seemed to be cheering for had blond hair had shining, blue eyes. He shot a finger gun into the audience, making several girls swoon. The one behind him had fiery red hair and seemed annoyed by the screaming. I couldn't blame him there. He was being followed by a brown haired boy and a red haired girl who was wearing pigtails. A girl strutted along, her blond hair flowing in the wind. Behind her, a smiling boy with bland hair and green eyes walked.
The last male was the one I knew was the leader, because I could feel his pureblood power emitting into the crowd.
He had brown hair and beautiful eyes that seemed to sparkle. His smile was mysterious, as though he were hiding something. Which he was, from the Day class students.
I was too distracted by the vampires to notice a very angry looking girl push their way through the sea of people to the space in front of me.
"Why do you get to be the prefect?" she yelled. "I've gotten all A's for three years!"
Before I could react, she shoved me to the ground.
"What the heck?!" I demanded of the girl. She seemed oblivious to the audience.
"I've been trying forever to get the Cross guy to notice me and make me a prefect, and now you just come in here and get to be one? I don't think so." She made a wild grab for my cufflink, which I now assumed symbolized my being a prefect.
I did what my father had taught me to do, which was roll out of the way of the grab and onto my feet. My fists were clenched but I relaxed them. I didn't want to fight.
The crowd seemed quieter, and I turned to seem them staring, including members of the Night class. Great, I thought. Just what I need as my first impression, a face off.
The girl took no notice of the silent air, and swung a fist at me. I easily grabbed her fist midair. She looked at it in surprise, and then jerked it back. I could tell what was going to happen before it did, so I prepared myself.
The girl tackled me. I let her push me to the ground, which was a small mistake, because the impact hurt my back. However, I quickly used my legs to throw her back at least a yard. She screamed and charged at me again.
By this time, Zero and Yuuki had made it through the crowd. Yuuki ran over to me, trying to figure out if I was all right, while Zero proceeded to make the attacker's life miserable by giving her his worst glare and demanding that she go to the chairman's office. At first she refused, but then he narrowed his eyes and she scampered of like a rabbit out of hell.
"Get back to class!" Zero yelled at the fangirls. They squealed and then disappeared. He too turned away in the direction of the main building.
"Are you sure you're ok Sumiko?" Yuuki asked, looking at me with concern. "That fall looked painful.
I shook my head. "It wasn't that bad, trust me. I've been through worse. My neck hurts a little though. She was grabbing it pretty hard." I explained.
"Let me see." Yuuki said. I pulled my hair back and showed her the spot. I winced as she touched it.
"Ouch." I muttered.
"Sorry!" she cried. "It looks like the bite mark is a bit tender still. It'll be fine after a few days. I don't know what came over Watanuki. She's always pretty well behaved. Maybe she's under a lot of stress."
"I beg to differ about the well behaved part." I muttered. I heard a slight chuckle behind me and turned around.
The entire Night class was standing there. The tell pureblood walked over to Yuuki and I, smiling.
"Hello Yuuki." He greeted her. She smiled and returned the greeting. "Would you mind introducing me to your friend?" he asked, staring at me.
"Kaname, this is Sumiko. Her parents died a while ago and now she's come to live with us. Sumiko, this is Kaname, the president of the Night class. He's a bit different than the rest of the vampires, because he's a-
"Pureblood." I finished for her. "My father taught me how to sense them. It's nice to meet you, Kaname, I said."
"It's nice to meet you as well. Let me introduce you to the rest of the class." He turned and pointed everyone out. Apparently the one all the girls were in love with was Aidou, the annoyed one was Kain, the pigtail girl was Rima, the brown hair boy was Shiki, the green eyed blond was Takuma, and the last girl was Ruka.
"I suppose we will see you around." Commented Aidou with a grin on his face.
"We must leave now. We are already late for class." Kaname led the Night class away. I could only stare ass the dissolved into the trees.
A/N I know I know not my best work. I am ashamed. The fight scene was supposed to give you and the Night class a taste of Sumiko's personality, which is calm but dangerous.. Also, this scene wasn't really planned out that much, I just wanted the Night class to view Sumiko as a fighter for their first introduction. Anyways, I would be very happy if you left a review so I know you're out there. Thank you, and I promise the next chapter will be better!
