Inu-vamp: hehe sorry. its just fun to have you around on the intro

Panda-chan:-sigh- there she goes again...

Yuuki clung to Zero's side as they walked down the main corridor to their first class. She was so nervous about her first day of real school. They where the only ones in the hall at this hour because Zero wanted to make sure that Yuuki was okay with all of the classes and knew where to find them. He had to tell her what core and elective classes she would be taking, where to find them, and where to find the library a million times.

They entered the empty classroom and walked to the seats on the first row in the back. Zero merely took a seat, grabbed his bag and took out his book from earlier.

"Um… Zero …?"

He lifted his head.

"What?"

"… nuh… Never mind…" Yuuki sighed and sat down next to him. It was going to be a long while till other student showed up. Class didn't start till eight but it was only seven thirty. Yuuki sighed again and rested her head on her folded arms; she might as well get a little more sleep since she stayed up half the night tossing and turning. She was having trouble sleeping: she felt like someone was coming after her. This was just another one of those dreams she had been having throughout the weeks where someone is looking at her with piercing red eyes and a dark shadow with long hands and creepy claws reached out to her and tried to take her away. The same dream reappeared almost every night, but she said nothing about it to Zero or the chairman because she felt that it was unimportant to bother them with silly nightmares.

"Yuuki…Yuuki…Yuuki!" Zero's voice called after she had fallen asleep. He had started to get worried because she kept mumbling about something scary and something about red eyes; it really was scaring him that something like that is plaguing Yuuki's thoughts.

She opened her eyes when she heard Zero's worried voice entered her ears. She raised her head and looked at him.

"What's wrong Zero?"

"Are you alright, Yuuki?" Zero asked softly.

"Of course, why do you ask?"

"Because you keep mumbling about something with red eyes in your sleep. Plus you seem really tired."

Yuuki shrugged and laid her head back down.

"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night." Yuuki said sheepishly.

Zero could tell something was going on but didn't press farther since students where now coming in. He sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder before whispering into her ear.

"Alright, but if there is anything wrong, tell me. It's not a good thing to fall asleep in the middle of class on your first day."

Yuuki blushed and nodded her head.

The lessons ended quickly. Their was nothing really new, just things they needed to review for upcoming tests. Zero and Yuuki walked out of class and to the open courtyard just to pass some time before they went back inside for dinner: the chairman usually was busy cooking some crazy concoction at this time and the two wanted some fresh air before meeting their doom….

"YUUKI, KIRYU-KUN!" the chairman's voice sounded from the other side of the area.

"Sorry to say this but I must go to a meeting at the vampire hunters association, so I'm putting you two on duty." He said as he handed them both a white disciplinary committee arm sashes.

"What!? You're gonna let her do disciplinary duties even though she doesn't know how to do the job? What if she gets hurt?" Zero yelled.

"Now, now Zero-kun, you worry too much. She'll be fine. Oh well I must be off. Bye!"

The chairman left. Zero and Yuuki needed to get going before the crowed of day class students got too big to where they couldn't pass through.

They made it just in time. The girls had not shown up yet, although their 'kyahs' where beginning to break out from a far distance. Zero turned to Yuuki with a stern look.

"Alright, the job is that you must keep the day class girls at bay as the night class does their change over to the school building. It might get bad considering that they wont go easy on you just because you're new. Just keep your guard up and keep them in your sight, got it?"

Yuuki nodded.

"Okay then, good luck." Zero said as the girls where now nearing the gate.

Yuuki's P.O.V.

"KYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Holy crap! This is just crazy! All the girls were screaming their heads off and the gate hasn't even opened yet. I am pushing the girls back with all my force, but they keep trying to get pass me. Zero doesn't seem to have much trouble on his side. All the girls over there are afraid to go past him. It's like there's an invisible barrier or something.

Gah!! What is up with these girls?!

Normal P.O.V.

Yuuki tried her hardest to push the girls back, but as the gates started to open the girls went wild. Their 'Kyahs' grew louder: they pushed on Yuuki with more force.

"Eeek!" Yuuki yelled as she fell to the ground.

"Are you alright miss disciplinary committee?"

Yuuki looked up, blinked a few times, and found a young blonde with blue eyes leaning over her. He looked cute but for a split second he reminded her of one of the scary vampire guards of Kaname. She stared at him for a few seconds before hopping up.

"Oh sorry, I'm fine thank you. Ummm.." Yuuki looked over his shoulder to see Zero standing there.

"Aidou, it is time for class." Zero said sternly.

"What did I do wrong Kiryu? I was just checking to see if she was alright, this is her first day after all. Poor thing is working so hard just to make sure that we night class students get to class safely, I couldn't help but be concerned." Aidou said innocently: his eye looked over her. Something about her didn't seem right. She had a sent that reminded him of someone.

Zero merely rolled his eyes.

"Yo Aidou, come on we will be late" Kain called to his cousin. With a sigh Aidou walked away to class.

After finally getting the day class girls to go back to their dorms, the two prefects went back into Zero's room. Yuuki couldn't help the feeling of comfort she had while being around Zero, just his very presence made her feel safe

They sat in their usual spots: Yuuki sitting with her back against the wall and Zero lying down with his head resting against his pillow. A long silence lingered over them. Yuuki's mind wondered a bit in the time. She didn't leave Aidou's action of looking at her suspiciously go unnoticed. Who was to say that maybe the other vampires could start noticing the same thing Aidou noticed? The bracelet she wore hid her Pureblood vampire powers but did it hide all traces of her in every way? What ever Aidou noticed I mite lead to something and she prayed to God that it wouldn't lead to going back to Kaname…

"Yuuki…" Zero said after feeling Yuuki go uneasy. He moved to sit on his knees, before brushing the back of his hand on her cheek. He could see that something was going on inside her thoughts. He could see how she looked so drained of energy. He could see how she kept to herself when he asked her a worrying question. He would of asked her further but decided to leave her be until she was ready to trust him fully with her thoughts.

Yuuki leaned into Zero's hand, that small gesture just seemed to melt away all her fears for the moment. Her eyes drifted shut.

"Yuuki what's wrong?"

She shook her head and nuzzled Zero's hand again. Zero saw that she was hiding something, so he tried to convince her to trust him. He leaned in touching his forehead to hers. His warm breath hit her face lightly.

"Yuuki" he breathed "it's alright to tell me anything. You know that right?"

Yuuki blushed at Zero's closeness, but nodded. She knew that, but yet she still didn't want to worry him.

"Please, Yuuki?"

His voice was so soft and warm. Yuuki couldn't help but be lured in by his pleading tone. With a sigh, she told him everything: her nightmares of the shadowy figure with red eyes, her fear of Kaname dragging her back to that horrid household, and her suspicion of any of the night class finding out who she is. She told him everything and soon after she did, she broke down into tears.

Zero wrapped his arms around her shoulders and whispered soothing words to get her to calm down.

"Yuuki, it's alright. Everything is going to be alright. I promise to never let him take you back. I promised to protect you remember?" Zero whispered into her hair.

Yuuki pulled back a little, turning her head away from him as she spoke.

"Zero… are you protecting me because you told me you would…or … are you willing to protect me because you want to?"

Zero realized what she meant, then sighed.

"both…" she nodded at his answer, but blushed madly when she felt Zero lean in. He was so close: his lips where only a few centimeters away. For some reason she felt the want to lean in herself to close the distance between them, but she dared not to move. They stayed like this for what seemed like hours, but in reality, it was just for several seconds. Zero pulled away and tried to hide the hint of pink that graced his cheeks as he made his way to the door.

"The chairman won't be home till late. You should probably change and shower while I go and start dinner. Uh, see you in a bit."

Yuuki watched his retreating form. She half expected something to happen, but to her dismay nothing did. She drew a long sigh before getting up to go get her things for her shower. She blushed at the thought of her wanting to actually have something happen between her and her silver-haired protector/friend.
