I do not own any characters from Vampire Knight. Anyone who reviews gets a preview to the next chapter. oh and the corny parts are meant be there. Sorry I couldn't resist.


I followed after Zero as fast as my legs could carry me. I stopped for a moment to catch me breath long enough to see Zero duck down a dark alley. I was not giving up, not when I've come this far. I walked slowly behind him keeping my distance. Suddenly, I stepped on a completely random stick and the snap pierced the darkness like a gun shot. Zero quickly turned and armed his self with his Bloody Rose.

He dashed over to me and pulled me into him and held the gun to my chest. Considering how dark I guess he didn't know that it was me and not who he thought it was.

"P… Please Zero don't shoot…It's Shana," I stumbled over my words in surprise because of his swift movements and because of the fear I felt when his gun pressed into my chest.

Zero pulled the gun away from my chest and released my body from his grip, "I'm sorry Shana… You startled me…What are you doing outside of school?"

"I, uh, never thanked you for saving my life last night."

Zero turned away from me, "No need to thank me… It's not like it bothered me or anything."

"Well, I thought I would be a kind person and thank you."

"Don' t worry about it. You need to return to school," Zero said as he walked away from me.

I stuck my arm out and touched his upper arm slightly, "Wait… Where are you going?" I asked not wanting him to go yet.

Zero turned and grabbed my arm and began dragging me with him. I felt like Juliet at that moment. The moment I have always been waiting for. The moment when my Romeo pulling me away and taking me as far as the eye could see. Zero continued to pull me through the rundown buildings and I could barely keep my balance. We arrived at a building that had dim lit candles in the windows and through said window I saw figures moving about in a room.

"You wait here," Zero told me as he released my arm from his iron grip. I nodded my head. I stood outside and viewed the building. I looked up and peered at a window that was lit dimly. There were two figures, one had a small box in its hand and handed it to the other figure. I leaned up against the wall, "What is taking Zero so long?" I thought impatiently.

Finally, Zero came out while securing something in his pocket, "Okay we can return to school," Zero said to me as he approached.

"What were you doing in there?" I asked curiously.

"That is none of your business," Zero stated a little coldly.

I felt my face flush as I began to become a little angry and I stood motionless, 'I demand to know or I am not moving," I threatened.

Zero looked at me for a moment and in the blink of an eye I was pinned to the wall behind me. Zero continued to stare me down with eyes that shone with hate as he reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small box and held it before me.

"What is that?" I asked confusingly staring at the box in his hand.

"You know my secret… So you should know what this is," he said flatly.

"Um… I do not recall," I lied.

Zero narrowed his eyes at me. "Don't play stupid… I saw you in the stairwell several weeks ago."

I remained silent for the time being.

"You don't remember? You stalked me all day," he continued.

Zero kept his grip and I looked up at him, 'Oh that day," I answered innocently.

"Yes… Now you remember," he replied catching me in my lie.

I shook my head, "I am sorry I never intended on doing that. I just needed info for my article. I never said anything about it though. I lied. I said that I didn't get it," I admitted.

Zero loosened his grip and released my arms slowly, "Why would you keep something like that a secret?" he asked, confusion sewn into his voice.

"Why wouldn't I keep that a secret? It's a little personal don't you think?" I replied, shrugging my shoulders.

"Why are you so persistent?" he demanded.

"Why you keep asking questions?" I shot back, crossing my arms over my chest.

Zero turned and started to walk away, then he turned back to see me still standing in the same place, "Shana, you must come this place is crawling with vampires."

I looked up to the sky and saw the stars and a crest moon. The light from the moon shone down, it slightly lit the path that we were walking on. I sighed then jogged to catch up to Zero and remained behind him. I glanced back once more and I saw a figure following behind us with eyes of red fire.

I was startled by the eyes and pushed forward running into Zero. I wrapped my arms around him. Zero stopped and looked back and looked down at me. He saw that I was burying my head into his back. I tightened my grip as my life basically flashed before my eyes.

Zero peered behind him and saw that the figure was closing in. He turned and had me turn with him, then he put me behind him to where I was shielded from the oncoming stranger.

"What do you want?" Zero said coldly, reaching for his Bloody Rose.

The figure stepped out from the darkness and I peeked around him to see that the figure was Kaname.

"No need to pull the gun out. I just over heard you and Miss. Shana here talking," Kaname said sweetly.

"What of it?" Zero bit out.

"This young girl knows your secret. There is no telling what else she knows," Kaname said, quickly appearing behind Zero and I and taking my hand. I kept a grip on Zero and Zero turned and took my hand from Kaname. "Keep your hands away from her," Zero growled.

"What else do you know?" Kaname asked me, ignoring Zero.

"I know the night class secret," I blurted out without thinking.

"Oh really which one?"

"Stop trying to twist my words. There is only one secret. And it is that," I put my head down and spoke softly, "The night class is consisted of nothing but…vampires."

Kaname pulled me from Zero and placed his thumb against my forehead, "Well, we will just say goodbye to those memories."

I pulled away forcefully and clenched my fist tightly then, brought my fist up and felt it connected with his face. "You will not remove these memories. They're too precious to me," I growled.

Kaname placed his hand on his cheek his face echoed the surprise in his eyes, "How are memories about a monster precious?" he demanded, anger rising into his eyes.

"Because they just are. Do you have a problem with it?" I said.

Kaname grasped one of my arms firmly and brushed the hair from my neck that was covering my bite mark, "I thought I smelt he scent on your skin," he mumbled.

Zero was growing angry and grasped my other arm and jerked me away from Kaname. I lost my balance and fell into him.

"I thought I told you keep your filthy, bloody hands away from her," he growled.

Kaname clenched his teeth and I stared at the sharp fangs that stood out. He walked by me and Zero, but stopped beside Zero. Then he whispered under his breath, "If your pathetic human steps within mere feet of my presence I will devour her."
