Ashlen's P.O.V

As I get into the safety of my room I allow myself to sigh deeply and loudly. Fuck that vampire, why did he have to kiss me in front of all his fans? He's going to be sorry for pulling such a low shot. However, for now I needed my medicine. So, walking over to my bed, I knelt to the ground so I could reach under my bed. Grabbing at the small box I kept hidden from Sakura I opened it to revile my medicine and three vials.

'Huh, I'm starting to run low. I guess I will need to send a letter home.' I thought as I took two of the pills that would stop my head from hurting. Almost like magic my head instantly stopped hurting; thank god.

The medicine was designed keep my memories from resurfacing. I was told that they were created to, in a sense, erase a vampire's memory. Of course humans, even wizards, erasing a vampire's memory was tricky. Because vampires had the power to erase memories as well they normally get the erased memory back in matter of days if not hours. That is why the medicine was created, to keep the vampire's mind from remembering. I guess you can think of it as a type of sleeping pill for your memory.

'I am going to need to get more medicine from my uncle soon.' I thought as I sat at my desk. Taking out a blank piece of paper I began to write my note.

Hey, I am starting to run low on the supplies. Do you think you can send me two dozen more? Oh and a pair of ear plugs if you can find any. Just sent them in an envelope please. Thanks. I both miss and love you, bro.

Once I was finished writing, I folded the letter in half and put it in a small envelope I had in my desk draw. Putting my foster brother's name on the front of the cover I got off my desk chair. Walking over to my dorm window I opened it and whistled for my messenger owl. Thankfully it was living in the forest while I stayed at school and was at my window in no time. I simply had to give the owl the letter, without saying anything, and he flew off, knowing exactly where to go.

For a small while I continued to stare out my window. Even after the owl was out of sight I continued to stare. The night looked so inviting tonight and my head really did feel better. Tonight would be the first time this school year I'd be able to get out. The fresh outside air which entered through my opened window felt nice on my face. It helped calm the nerves I didn't even realize were still tense. Ah yes, a night time stroll sounded like perfect thing for a time like this. Besides I had to do something while I wait for a reply on my letter. Hopefully I can go out without being caught by Zero or Yuki. I doubt either of them would be happy to see me and Zero seemed pissed that I allowed Aido to kiss me.

Jumping out our second story window I safely landed on my feet. Hmm, the night time air felt nice, if not a little chilly. It was to be expected though since it was fall and it would only get colder. Still wearing my Day Class uniform my legs were colder than my arms but I managed to brush it off. I had been born and raised where it got twice as cold during the winter so this was nothing I couldn't handle. Sighing happily to myself, I stretched my arms in the air and looked for signs of Sakura.

'She told me earlier today she was going to patrol the Sun Dorms. Maybe she just got lazy and took a break.' I thought as I then went looking for her. Hey, even though Sakura still might bother me about the kiss thing I was at least going to let her know I was outside; that way I had less of a chance of getting into trouble if I am caught.

Sakura's P.O.V

I had only patrolled the Sun Dorms for about fifteen minutes before I had gotten bored. No Day Class girl was stupid enough to sneak out of the dorms before waiting at least an hour or two. Well, there was a few students last year that tried but they were easily taken care of, heh. So, with things peaceful over at the Sun Dorms, I stretched my into the air as I left the Sun Dorms to patrol the forest. It was likely Zero was ditching perfect duties to play with Lily or was patrolling somewhere else by this point.

"I'll just rest for a few minutes before I start patrolling again." I told myself as I slumped against the nearest tree. Feeling the hard bark contact with my back, I allowed myself to slid to my butt so I could be sitting in a comfortable position.

Ah yes, this was the life. School started up only two weeks ago and things are peaceful. However a lot of the freshmen of this year were already crushing on the Night Class. It was quiet annoying having whinny brats complaining at you about the Night Class all the time. This was only week two of my second year so I don't even want to imagine what the middle of the school year will be like. Hell by then more of the timid shy girls will have turned from innocent to jealous bitches.

"Hello Sakura."

A familiar voice said from my side. I didn't even need to turn my head or open my eyes to know it was Ashlen. It was all a matter of time until she started sneaking out this year. However it was kind of unusual that she came to find me. As a prefect I had to abide by the rules and give her detention if I find her outside. I very rarely do but then again Ashlen very rarely actually comes looking for me when she sneaks outside at night. I couldn't sense anything wrong with her though so I guess I had to do my act as a prefect.

"Ashlen, what are you doing outside? Even if you are my friend you still need to follow the rules. Now go back to the dorm, I don't want to have to give you detention again." I said, turning my head to look at her and wagged a finger. Inside her mind Sakura added even if they are annoying and you are not.

"I don't believe you are going to give me detention, Sakura." Ashlen said and I watched her walk over. I crossed my arms and glared at her as she leaned against the other tree.

"And why not? I've done it before and don't say it's because we are friends." I told her warningly. To my confusion, she had a smirk grow on her face.

"Sakura, I could very well make up a story about trying to bring you something. Besides, you tell on me and I'll tell Kaien that you were napping on the job." She told me threateningly. I simply glared at her before huffing.

Normally she doesn't scare me. I mean she tries to make her threats but she makes me more mad than scared. Like right now. I knew very well that Headmaster Cross would believe Ashlen over me. Even though she was a trouble maker, and truth be told I could be one as well, Ashlen was still the Headmaster's god niece. You know, like a god father but a uncle instead of a father. Anyways I sighed deeply and waved my hand at her.

"Fine, fine. Do whatever you want, just don't let Zero catch you." I growled before I found myself smiling again. Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

"Yeah, Zero's still not too happy that you allowed Aido to kiss you. He told me he needs to talk to you about your choice of boyfriends." I lied, giggling as Ashlen started to walk away. Zero never told me such a thing but I got the response I was looking for.

A hot red blush crept onto Ashlen's cheeks as she stopped walking. She looked absolutely embarrassed and caught off guard. It didn't last long as she turned her head back to me with a nasty glare. It only made me grip my sides and laugh. Oh god, she was too easy to pick on. In fact it was so easy it would have gotten boring long ago if it wasn't for the expressions she made.

"Screw you." she told me as she simply walked away. I continued to laugh and waved at her retreating figure.

Kaname's P.O.V

From the classroom window I watched everything. It was odd how Sakura allowed the niece of Kaien wander around outside at night. I've seen the girl outside numerous times last year as well but I never bothered her. I think I should, though. There was more than met the eye with that girl, something that seemed dangerous. The girl herself seemed harmless and Kaien trusted her, but I knew there was something else.

When I watched Sakura mention a kiss, I gave Aido a side glance. I knew he had a interest in the young human but I didn't know he'd go as far as kiss her. When I first questioned his relationship with Kaien's foster niece he told me he thought she knew our secret and was trying to get her to confess. Honestly I didn't bother much else with it. Apparently Aido didn't take my perhaps Kaien would have a reason to hide the truth from us warning seriously. It was too much of a bother try to stop him though. He's smart enough not to bluntly show off his fangs. At least I hope he is.

"Takuma, take control of the class, I need to do something." I said as I walked out. I heard Takuma agree from behind me but no one, not even the teacher, attempted to stop me.

Sometimes I really like being a Pureblood. The powers and abilities come in handy, plus I have no one telling me what to do. So I could freely leave class whenever I wished to without the slightest worry about being stopped. However being a Pureblood had a downside as well. We are immortal and wont die unless we are murdered or commit suicide. My parents, no, I mean my foster parents managed to live past three thousand years. It's likely they'd live even longer if it wasn't for Rido.

Rido. Last I heard of him he was healing rather quickly. He already gained the ability to transfer his soul to other bodies. This was very bad, I wasn't expecting it to come this soon. I needed to protect Yuki and Sakura from this monster. Hopefully, for the sake of the ones I care about, Rido's attention had been driven else where and I can be able to relax. It's pretty doubtful, though, knowing what Rido is like. Power hungry and ruthless. No matter what he will be coming and I'll be ready.

Existing the school, I stood in place as Ashlen walked passed. I don't think she noticed me but I couldn't be too sure about it. Aido was convinced she knew our secret but besides that I knew actually very little about her. Once she was gone I made my way over to Sakura. Even from a distance I could see her face was still a bit red from her laugh. By the way Ashlen looked as she left I doubt she felt the same though.

"Well, good evening, Sakura." I greeted warmly. Sakura's head spun in my direction and a light smiled coated her face.

"Good evening, Kaname-sama. What do I owe this visit?" She greeted me back with a yawn. Now that she had calmed down from her laughing she looked rather tired.

"I couldn't help but notice you allow that human girl to be outside. Why is that?" I asked as I walked closer. While I didn't care much for the girl herself I was still curious as to why Sakura allowed her to break the rules.

"Oh, well..." She trailed off as she tried to think of a convincing story to tell me. I frowned and stepped closer before kneeling so I could look her in the face.

"Are you feeling alright, Sakura? You look tired." I commented and touched her cheek. They grew warm as she lightly brushed my hand away.

"I'm fine, Kaname, just getting sleepy is all." She told me and rubbed one of her eyes. I smiled at her as I stood back up.

"Yes, I feel sorry for you and the other prefects, having to patrol all night long and stay up for class. Tonight has been rather peaceful and I am sure Zero can handle things alone. I don't think the Headmaster will mind if you go back to the dorm a little early." I told her, offering my hand to help her up. Sakura took it easily and I helped pull her to her feet.

"Thank you, Kaname-Sama. Have a fun night." She told me, bowing before she ran off happily. At her retreating form I allowed my expression to drop.

"Sakura, remain in the dark and innocent. I never wish you to know how blood covered your past really is." I said as I watched her disappear in the distance. Releasing a sigh I had been holding in I began my return to class.

Ashlen's P.O.V

I had no idea how long I've been outside for when I decided to return to the dorm. The walk really helped me relax and it felt really good to be outside again. Tonight I didn't run into Aido, which I am actually glad about. Because of the kiss I am not sure if I should kick the vampire where it hurts or question if the kiss was simply a tactic to make the others jealous. In that case I'd probably blush and be speechless or admit to feeling the same.

Taking the lazy way, I easily climbed through the window I left open back into the room. After shutting the window I turned to see that a large brown envelope was laying on my bed. Huh, that was faster than I thought it would be. Then again messenger owls were trained to fly quickly and deliver packages across the world. They also made really good pets for wizards but I liked cats better.

Walking over to my bed, I grabbed at the envelope and sat down on the bed. Prying the envelope open I dumped everything inside on my bed. Twenty four veils and a pair of orange ear plugs dropped onto my bed. Along with the veils, and ear plugs, was a cheat card. Picking it up, I flipped the card over to see it was a note from my foster brother.

I hope you don't mind orange ear plugs, I know you'd prefer blue. Anyways these are actually the last of the veils. If you want more you'll need to make more once you come home. Make sure to visit when you can, little sister.
Love Ichiru

To the little sister part I had to roll my eyes. We were actually the same age but because he was a few months older than me he called me little sister a lot. I think he likes the fact he has a younger sibling, a foster sibling anyways, to mess around with. After all he was the younger twin of Zero, who he hated, so it must have felt nice to be the older one for a change. Eh, whatever, it makes him happy and doesn't exactly bother me.

Putting the note on my pillow I sat on my knees on the floor to grab the box under my bed again. Opening it, I placed all twenty four veils inside with the remaining three. That should last me for a month or two until I needed to make some more from scratch. To do that I'd have to return home but I am sure Uncle Kaien would allow me to go home for the weekend, or perhaps a long weekend if we have one coming up.

"Hello!" A voice chirped happily. Just as I stood up from putting my box back under the bed Sakura came skipping into the room and over to her bed.

"Hey, Sakura, got off prefect duties early?" I asked, sitting on my bed as I finally began to undress. Sakura nodded happily as she sat on her own bed.

"Yep, Kaname saw us talking and allowed me to leave early. I'm glad because..." Sakura continued to talk but I paid no attention to the words she used. In fact I stopped paying full attention when I heard her say Kaname Kuran saw us, which included me, outside.

"Wait a moment. Kaname saw that I was outside?" I asked and frowned thoughtfully. It was strange considering he most likely knew I knew their secret so why didn't he question me himself as to why I was outside?

"Um, yeah, I guess he saw us from the class room window. I think Kaname knows you know the Night Class secret though, so he probably knows if you are outside you can protect yourself. He's smart like that." Sakura shrugged before smiled brightly again. I wasn't smiling however but never got a chance to even think before Sakura spoke up again.

"By the way, what's that on your pillow." She asked, getting up from her bed. Before I had much time to react Sakura grabbed at the note and I was cursing inside my mind.

'Oh fuck, oh fuck, not good.' I thought in a panic. I knew Zero and Sakura were old childhood friends but I had no idea if she knew who Ichiru was. If she does hopefully she'd just think it was a random boy with a similar name.

Sakura's P.O.V

I didn't give Ashlen a chance to stop me as a grabbed at the card that laid on her pillow. She looked kind of nervous and she was hiding it pretty badly. Well at least to the trained eyes of a vampire hunter she was. This got me thinking that maybe the card was a love note. Oh, maybe Aido pronounced his love for her or the other way around.

A grin spreed across my face and I walked back to my bed so Ashlen couldn't grab the card from me. Her face turned red in discomfort and embarrassment which got me happier. Hah, that will teach her for swearing at me and bugging me about Zero. However, as I read the note, my face dropped. So it wasn't a love note after all, just a letter from home. From a boy named Ichiru no less. Huh, where have I heard that name before?

"Sakura, give that back. It's just a letter from my foster brother." Ashlen said as she suddenly ripped it from my hand. I pouted and rubbed the palm of my hand.

"Hey, you could have given me a bad paper cut. That's mean." I complained before lazily leaned back in my bed. "So what does this Ichiru mean you only have no veils left and you have to make more?" I questioned, staring at her suspiciously. Ashlen rolled her eyes at me as she walked over to her desk and shoved the card in her top drawer.

"It's nothing, just my medicine. My brother just likes to joke around is all." She grumbled. Well, somebody was obviously in a bad mood.

"Look, just leave my stuff alone, alright?" Ashlen asked grumpily as she finished undressing and redressed in her pjs. I rolled my eyes as I slipped into my own bed.

"Whatever you say, Ms touchy." I said and snuggled up in my blanket. I heard Ashlen sigh but I didn't pay attention to anything else as I allowed myself to fall into a deep, peaceful sleep.
