Okay, sorry for the late posting. As I said in my A/N from "A Time Traveller's Destiny", school, college visits, internet was down, blah, blah, blah, STORY TIME!


Ch. 3: Surprises

(Zero Kiryu)

Nathan was sent to both the Headmaster's office and the nurse's office. The Headmaster was not very happy with Nathan for starting a fight. But somehow, he got out of major punishment, saying that he broke up a potential fight, ended the bullying career of a student, and no one was really hurt. So the Headmaster decided to give him a choice: suspension or Guardian duties. The only two Guardians were me and Yuki, and our job was to keep the Day Class from discovering that the Night Class students are all vampires. He chose Guardian duty, but I could see he didn't like it. Yuki and I then led him down to the nurse to have his vocal cords and his back checked. The nurse looked him over and said his vocal cords were fully healed, but he should avoid shouting for a few days.

Then Yuki spoke up, "And his back?"

"What about it?" she replied.

"His back, he was hit repeatedly." Yuki said. She led us over to him, and asked him to lift his shirt. He did, and his back was fine. No bruises, like he wasn't even touched, let alone hit. He replaced his shirt and was admitted to leave. We walked outside, preparing for the arrival of the Night Class.


(Nathan Kisuki Cross)

I could't believe I was doing this. Protecting a bunch of students from several other students. But something was different about the Night Class. I didn't know what it was, but I was going to find out. We went outside and began pushing back Day Class students. Yuki and Zero moved back one side, I got another. I don't know how, but I gave them all an evil eye and a growl, and they just backed off. I turned and gave an evil eye to the other side of students and they backed off as well.

The Night Class came through, and the student's started coming forward frantically I kept them back, but Zero and Yuki were having a harder time than me. They kept shouting and pushing, trying to get closer to the Night Class. I kept them back, but they were getting more determined.

And I snapped.

I shouted at the top of my lungs, "EVERYONE GET BACK!"

Everyone fell silent. I was breathing in and out very heavily. It almost sounded like a growl, even. I looked around as I began to calm down. Everyone around me was terrified, even some of the Night Class students. I straightened myself up and the Night Class students went on to class, undisturbed. I started to go back to my dorm, and the Day Class students parted to make a path. I looked at them and saw absolute terror on their faces. I reached the end of the mass of students, and ran the rest of the way. I got back to my dorm and wondered what had really happened. I did that only one other time, when I had to tell a bus-full of loud students to be quiet. But this, this was much more intense than that time. Everyone looked at me as if I was some sort of monster. I began to cry, something I don't normally do. I heard a knock on my door.

"Nathan? It's Yuki. Can I come in?" I made a grunt and she opened the door. She came over to me and sat down on the bed.

I calmed down then asked her, "Why do you protect those guys? What's so special about them?"

She hesitated for a bit and said, "Well, to answer that, we'll have to go to the headmaster's office."


(Yuki Cross)

We made it down to the headmaster's office. When we came in, he immediately asked us, "Did you hear that noise outside. It sounded like an animal roar."

We sat down and I tried to explain what had happened. Zero and I were keeping back one side of the Day Class students, Nathan keeping back the other. When the Night Class arrived, the Day Class started getting relentless. I almost thought they were going to break through. Then, we heard a loud noise. It was Nathan, who was yelling at the other student's to get back. We looked around, and just about everyone was terrified of him. Even some of the Night Class students looked scared. I talked to some other students who were facing Nathan. They said he shouted very loudly, some have even said he roared at them. There was even one student who said his eyes rolled back in his head and he grew fangs. The headmaster had his head in a hand, trying to grasp what I was saying.

But Nathan just looked absolutely horrified.

"Headmaster," he looked up at me, "I think it's time he knew." The headmaster looked over at Nathan.

"Nathan?" He looked up, still horrified. "What do you know about the Night Class?"

He hesitated for a while, and eventually said, "Almost nothing, except that they share no classes with the other students, and the Day Class obsesses over them more than a super fan obsesses football." The headmaster did not understand and neither did I.

The headmaster continued, "The reason why we have a Day Class and a Night Class, is because they only take classes according to their dorm names, because they have to." Nathan's horrified look was now replaced by a confused one. I sighed and decided to come out clean.

"There is a Night Class, because those students cannot stand sunlight. They are vampires." Nathan looked at me, almost as shocked as the other students. He looked back and forth, trying to process what I just said. I tried calming him down, but it barely did a thing. He began hyperventilating. I was able to calm him down by humming a lullaby and hugging him. His breathing calmed and he fell asleep. I moved him over to a couch and laid him down. Lucky for him, today was a Friday. Headmaster came over to us and I asked him what we would do when he woke up.

"If he took it well, we can try to talk to him about it."

"And if he doesn't?" I asked.

"I don't know." And he asked me and Zero to take him back to his dorm.


Okay, once again, its a bit shaky. But this is manga format, something I feel is easily expressed via word bubbles and pictures (In a later chapter I will attempt to describe a facial expression). So flame all you want.
