Chapter 4: Duty Calls

"You will leave right now, She is belongs to our master!" a voice screamed at the blood covered man while he reached towards a small feeble girl and patted her head,"Goodbye Eliza" he smiled weakly turning away from his only heir. The girl now held tears in her eyes as she watched her father being dragged away by two strange men in black cloaks. "NO! DADDY DON'T GO!" she screamed prying at her fathers leg, she then felt a sharp pain in her right cheek and placed a pale hand towards it covering it slowly."STUPID LITTLE RUNT!" one of the men screamed throwing her back inside the darkened room. She saw the door slam shut and heard menacing screams from the other side come through the cracks. She placed her head between her legs and sobbed silently while letting out a faint whisper "Goodbye Daddy..".

I woke up feeling groggy and a tad bit annoyed for being disturbed from my slumber. "MARI GET UP!"a voice shouted "MARI NOW!", Zero had been pounding on my door frame yelling at me to get up for half an hour now and I hadn't realized up until this point.

He eventually lost his cool and broke my knob forcing his way inside, I watched him walk up to me with a frustrated expression.

"Kiryu-kun now look what you did.." I replied while crossing my arms and frowning at the angry figure in front of me. "Well if you had gotten up the first time I knocked we wouldn't been in this situation now would we!?" he hissed, "Anyways here's your uniform and timetables". He quickly placed the items into my hands then left my room,slamming the door in the process

"Man this guy has issues.. wait what did he mean by timetables?".

I then skimmed over the two timetables, the first one had my day classes while the second had my prefect duties and strangely one night class the head master had "forgotten" to tell me about.

"Great... that nutcase just made it easier for me to infiltrate the night class"

I stretched my muscles and went inside of the bathroom to freshen myself up for the day.

I then glanced at the pajamas's I randomly chose last night, it was light pink over sized shirt with Grey short shorts that made it seem like I was only wearing a shirt"No wonder Zero left in such a hurry, great..now he probably thinks I'm a slut". Once dressed I went to my closet and saw that majority of the night clothes that were packed seemed to be night gowns which were quite revealing, I then glanced over a small note with a heart placed onto a baby blue night gown "Hope you like them ~ Love Yoshida".

Outside the Academy

I met up with Yuuki and Zero after classes for the switch over, the Day classes had been sort of boring considering I knew majority of the things that had been taught.

"I failed the math test.." Yuuki glumly stated "Well if you just studied instead of drooling over Kuran you would have been fine" Zero responded monotonously earning a glare from Yuuki. Zero then looked at me for a slight second before blushing and turning away "He still hasn't forgotten..".

"Mari-san how about you?" Yuuki questioned,"Not sure Yuuki, Sensei still has to hand back our papers but I think I did okay" I lied "Oh look its almost time for the switch over lets get in our positions".

Once we were outside the moon dormitory's gates we saw the usual crowed start it's daily riots "YUUKI ITS NOT FAIR!" a group of fan girls screamed, Yuuki was struggling trying to push the chaotic teenagers,Zero was of course doing nothing as usual and was leaning against a stone pillar.

"These two are hopeless..."

I sighed to myself and decided it was time I stepped in "Please form yourself into neat lines along the passageways, I understand that none of you will leave without seeing your desired one but blocking the pathway like this will only cause injuries to not only yourselves and the prefects, but the night class as well".

Soon the crowed fell into silence and started forming itself into perfect line whispering to one another. Yuuki on the other hand was in shock as to how they listened and move in such sync and unity, Zero just stood smirking and I was somewhat irritated by his actions. The bell rung loudly signaling the time for the switch over. The cream stone gates soon started to creak open revealing a pack of students in white uniforms gracefully heading out. I stood along one of the pillars while Zero stood next to Yukki on the opposite end, I could see him giving dirty looks as each vampire passed by.

I was looking through the crowd inspecting the movements of the day class before being tapped on the shoulder by a certain pure-blood. "Mari Fuwa am I correct?" he questioned, I turned around to see him standing no more then a few inches away, apparently his lack of movement triggered the whole night class to stop dead in their tracks. "Yes it's an honor to meet you Kuran-san" I replied while bowing gracefully. I looked up and saw Zero glaring at my actions while Yuuki smiled in approval, "It's a pleasure to meet you as well Mari-chan my you are quite beautiful.., will I see you tonight during class?" he asked smirking towards Zero who had his jaw hanging in anger. I nodded and politely bid him farewell,he gave one final compliment to Yuuki and walked inside of the main building.

Zero forcefully grabbed my shoulder "What did he mean by class!?" he snapped "According to my timetable I have one night class to attend to, I'm not sure why but it says so.. I think it's because Uncle wished to see the status of the Night Class from the inside." Zero then let go and apologized to me before heading in the direction of the Headmaster's office.

"Your so lucky Mari-san!, you get to be in the same class as them, I know Zero thinks of them as monsters but I'm sure you will get along!" Yuuki said encouragingly. "I think I will too Yuuki, I have to leave now or I'll get late see you later!" with that I walked towards the school with eyes filled in interest. "Here goes nothing.. I will have to be extra careful considering it's their territory I'm entering".

Night Class

I was now outside of the class door taking in a quick deep breath before heading off into the darkened room. As I stepped inside I could see that all eyes were glued onto my form with a spark of interest from each. My dark brown hair swayed against my back gracefully as I walked towards the Sensei to greet him. He was a man that looked to be in his late twenty's with long washed out bluish hair tied neatly into a ponytail. He flashed a small smile in my direction and told me to sit down near the front row for my "safety". Kaname had already explained as to why I had been there so no one had dared questioned my presence, I opened the text book the Sensei had given me along with my notepad and utensils to start copying down the notes that were written on the board. I made myself appear focused in my work to tap into the conversations the others had been having. "She's quite beautiful" a student whispered "Just imagine what her blood will taste like" Hanabusa Aido chimed. For some odd reason I subconsciously pushed my hair back to cover my neck.

Once the Sensei was done teaching for the day he dismissed himself and told the class we had an hour to do as we pleased. I took the homework that was assigned and finished it off rather quickly, placing it neatly on top of the teachers desk.

I heard a loud whistle from across the room "Smart and beautiful!" a student yelled, I turned around to glare at them but Kaname had already beat me to it silencing the loud mouth. I ignored the stares I was receiving and decided to write my report for the Headmaster. I guessed since he placed me here he would want a report as to how the Night class had been doing.

As I was about to finish off the concluding sentence Ruka Souen rudely interrupted my writing by yelling at Aido for his actions and how Lord Kaname wouldn't approve. I cringed at how loud her voice had been "They do realize that he's sitting right there right..?".

I felt a presence start to approach me and then place itself next to me "Hello Mari-chan I'm Takuma Ichijo it's a pleasure to meet you" a boy with emerald eyes and blonde hair greeted. I took his hand that was reached forwards and shook it "It's nice to meet you to Ichijo-san".

I looked behind me and saw Kaname giving some sort of gesture to Takuma signaling him to continue on with our conversation. "So.. Mari-chan are you liking Cross Academy so far?" he asked while smiling, "I.." as I was about to respond the scent of blood started to fill my senses, once I was out of my daze I saw that the rest of the Night class had detected the alluring scent as well. I turned back to Takuma and saw that his eyes had turned to a bright crimson and his innocent smile was now replaced with one of hunger. Without thinking I immediately reached for my daggers and sprinted out the door heading straight for my key objective.

Outside the Academy

Once I got to where the smell had been coming from I was slightly irritated, there were three girls from the Day class sneaking around in the forest with camera's around there necks, one of them had a small cut on her leg which oozed out a small amount of blood. I decided it would be best if I went undetected since I felt an unfamiliar presence lurking nearby."It would be unwise for me to approach them right way".

A tree crashed to the ground stopping the girls dead in their tracks. "Wh.. who..?" one of them stammered, the next thing they heard was a voice laughing menacingly before fainting in fear. "Well.. well.. what have we got here.." he smirked revealing himself from the shadows. "A level E..".

The man walked up to the girls unconscious forms grinning with sick amusement, I allowed him to reach forwards and reveal his fangs. Just when he was about to sink his fangs I immediately appeared in front of him stabbing him directly where his heart was. A howl of pain came from the monster as he tried to reopen his eyes, before I had a chance to sprint forwards to finish off the monster a gun shot disintegrated the beast turning him into dust. "I was about to finish him Zero..", Zero's footsteps came closer as he revealed himself from the shadows, he smirked in my direction before glaring at the sight in front of him.

Kaname had now appeared along side Yuuki,Takuma and Seiren, "What happend?" Yuuki questioned

"Nothing these girls were outside past curfew... anyways one of them is injured do you mind wrapping a bandage on her..? I didn't have a change to bring my medical pack with me". Yuuki started cleaning the infected wound while Kaname asked Seiren to erase the humans memories. "That was quite the shot.. right in the heart.." Takuma said while nervously scratching the back of his head, I glanced up at the emerald vampire seeing that his eyes were now restored. "Thanks..".

Once everything was sorted out, I went back into the classroom and quickly gathered my belongings hoping not to bump into anyone for the remainder of the night. As I was about to leave the classroom Aido blocked my path making me fall down. I looked up towards him and saw his crystal blue eyes gaze down at my body. He helped me up and "apologized" for knocking me down, I thought I was nearly done with him until he pulled my arm back facing his mouth towards my ear "Your blood is intoxicating.." I felt my arm being ripped away from him as saw Akatsuki Kain step in front of me indirectly signaling me to quietly leave.

I sprinted down the halls and met up with Yuuki who questioned as to why I had taken long to leave, I brushed off her question and told her that I couldn't find my book. We spent the remainder of the night patrolling the school grounds and went to sleep once the Night class had entered there dorms at 4 in the morning.
