Yuki was on her way to the headmaster's office. He told her earlier that he had a special announcement and task for her. Headmaster Cross usually had her do little favors for him that Zero had refused to do. When she arrived and opened the door to his office, she saw a small girl standing by the window.
She was almost immediately greeted by the headmaster as she stepped into the room. "Ah! Here she is now! This is my daughter, Yuki." The girl by the window had now walked towards them, a smile on her perfect lips. The headmaster motioned to the girl and introduced her. "Maria is a new transfer student in the Night Class."
Blinking a few times, Yuki looked at Maria. "Oh! You're a… Anyways, welcome to Cross Academy. If there is anything you need, just tell me." Maria smiled and embraced Yuki in a tight hug. "Thank you! Now that you mention it, would you mind showing me around the school?" Yuki smiled and nodded a bit nervously. "Uh.. S-sure!"
The two of them walked the school grounds together, bathing in the moonlight. Under one of the many trees planted around the school, Yuki saw Zero. She hurried towards the tree he was standing beneath, calling out when she got near. "Zero!" He hardly glanced in her direction when she stopped beside him. "We have a new student!" Maria came from behind Yuki to stand next to her, her hands placed on Yuki's shoulders. " Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Maria." At the sight of Maria, Zero pulled his gun out to point it straight at her. Yuki stood in front of Maria, scowling at Zero. "What are you doing, Zero!? Put Bloody Rose away!"
Zero hesitated for a moment as he looked from Yuki's determined face to the amused smirk on Maria's. "Fine.." Then, slowly he put Bloody Rose in it's holster away from view. Giving him one last look, Yuki took Maria's hand and began to lead her away. "Sorry about him, he doesn't get along well with others. He's always moody…" Maria turned to Yuki and smiled. "That's alright. I'm sure he has his reasons. I think I'm going to go introduce myself to the other students. I'll see you later Yuki!" With a small flourish of her hand, she skipped away down the hallway.
