Chapter Six

The sun set upon the Academy leaving broken shards of its sunlight across the campus; as the day students got out of their classrooms in eager anticipation of the night class crossing with theirs. Yuuki Cross got ready for class, putting her uniform jacket on, also, in preparation for guarding the night students. She was fourteen now, not a little girl anymore, as her father the Chairman would have liked.

Zero Kiryuu was on the other side of the campus just getting out of class, trying to be ahead of all the other students. It was easy, as the most of the other students were afraid of getting glares from him, since he was a very distant person. The person that he talked most with was Yuuki and Kaname.

He ran over to the night dorms to see if Yuuki was ready for the night patrol, to his surprise Kaname answered the door, "well, Zero, what are you doing here?" clutching the towel that he was using to dry himself.

"I am here to pick Yuuki up for the dusk patrol." he commented, "is she here?"

Kaname mislead Zero, "no, she already went out for the patrol, I am going to class now, so if you see her, say hi for me."

Just when Zero left Yuuki came from her room, "was that Zero?" she questioned.

"No," he lied.

"That's funny," she said under her breath, "I distinctly heard his voice coming from the hall." She decided that she would go out to look for him, since they had never done patrol without each other.

She ran out of breath to the courtyard in the middle of the entire campus just looking for Zero, then by the water fountain she spied him talking to some of his other friends from the day class. Calling him she questioned herself in her head vehemently, "Zero, why didn't you come to pick me up from the night dorm? Chairman Cross says that we are supposed to go together otherwise he wouldn't trust me to be a guardian.

She had not revealed that she was a vampire; all that Zero knew was that he was the prefect; he did not call himself the guardian of Cross Academy, even though the Chairman requested that he did. So he was vague to the fact that she was a vampire. All his training when he was a child, that he had done with Sensei he had almost forgot, he sensed something secretive about this place, a secret that the Chairman and no one in the night class would reveal. He was sure that the day class did not know anything though, since the girls were going crazy over the overly beautiful men of the night class.

He did not know that Yuuki was a vampire either, he just thought that she was naturally that beautiful and flowingly graceful. She had wanted to divulge her secret to Zero for a long time but Kaname and the Chairman had told her to refrain from telling anyone in the day class, especially Zero that she was a vampire. She tried to convince them otherwise, but it would not do she would just have to keep the secret from them anyways.

They went off together to the meeting point of the day and night class and waited for the rest of the day class to pass by, luckily today there had not been that much craziness with the girls.

When Yuuki went off to class she heard footsteps coming from behind her, they kept whispering, 'danger! Danger! Beware!' she did not read much into this and kept walking; however with more haste in her step. She could not shrug off the feeling that the person or thing that was stalking her was still there. She was only halfway to her classroom when the thing tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around cautiously to find the Chairman, "why didn't you stop Yuuki?" he questioned her.

She was in deep thought for a moment in time, "Sir, I didn't know it was you that was behind me, I thought it was the man that had almost killed me that night."

"Still scared of the bogeyman?" he teased.

"No," she retorted, "anyway, sir what were you going to tell me that was so serious that you had to sneak behind me to get my attention?"

"Well," he began, tapping his fingers on his chin, "I don't know whether to tell you this or not, the government of nobles, they told me not to but then…."he fell into a thought, "alright!" he resolved, "I will tell you anyway. Do you remember when Kaname told you about the purebloods and nobles when you were little?"

"He even told you that?!" she demanded.

"Yes, yes," he referred her back to the other subject, "you are one of the remaining pure bloods, you are like Kaname, Yuuki," he broke down to her slowly.

"…one of the remaining purebloods," she repeated, "is that why I can read someone really well?"

He nodded his head, "that is also probably why your vampire instinct came earlier than the others, the bite from Kaname that night must have also done that."

She was speechless, "can I go back to class now?" the Chairman responded with another nod.

She ran crying, I am a real vampire? I am a real vampire? She kept repeating it to herself but it did no use, she could not get used to the fact that she was a real vampire and she had been destined from the beginning to become a vampire. Zero was right. Vampires were horrible people; even though he came from a vampire hunting family he still thought that Yuuki who was close to him was very special and he would not be able to harm her, but now, she didn't know what she thought.

She would have to tell Zero, it was the right thing to do; he had to know what had been going on in her life. He had told her and now she would have to tell him. She had to wait until class, and then she would be able to talk to Zero, since the moon was already high on the black canvas with meaningless white dots.

Dawn had broken, the sun began shining over the campus, spreading itself generously even to the night dorms. Yuuki had finished with her classes and she was on the way to the day dorms; she had to speak with Zero about herself and what she had become or already was.

Roughly putting on her uniform she rushed out the door without leaving anything that would give any clue to Kaname about her whereabouts. She did not want Kaname to know what she was about to do. She found Zero's dorm amongst many and knocked on the door. Another boy answered though, "Hello, who are you?" he wondered, and then realized, "you're from the night dorms! You're not allowed to the day area!" he shouted.

"Please," she begged, "I only want to talk to Zero."

The boy smiled, "alright, for one thing, a kiss on the cheek."

Yuuki grimaced, she did not want to kiss this boy, she would not lower her standards, and they had to at least be polite and a little cute. So instead she slapped him and went inside the bright dorm herself looking for Zero. Finally she found him alone in his bedroom; she knocked on the door and Zero looked up.

He found the childhood friend that he had been longing to see for a long time and the childhood friend that had grown to someone that he loved. "Yuuki! What are you doing here?" he questioned.

"I need to talk to you." She said sadly, directing him to the courtyard in the middle of the campus, and made him sit down.

"What is the meaning of this, Yuuki? You know that the night class isn't allowed into the day class campus!"

"Zero," she began, "I haven't told you the whole story about what happened after we lost contact with each other. Since the falling out, that we weren't able to see, my parents had disappeared, and I don't know where they are. But Chairman Cross has cared for me like I was his own flesh and blood. He had told me the real truth about who I am…"she pondered

"…and what is that?" he questioned.

"Zero," she began again, taking her time, so that he could take it in, "I am a pureblood vampire."

"WHAT?! YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE CREATURES?! THEY TAKE THE LIFE OF THINGS AND NEVER GIVE THEM BACK! THEY TOOK MY PARENTS AND MY BROTHER!" he shouted.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a rose coloured gun and held it in his hand feebly, "what are you going to do Zero?" she questioned, gingerly.

His face darkened with misery, "I am going to make sure that you don't see the light of day again! You deserve to die!"

"What, Zero… but I haven't done anything to anyone!" she cowered.

"But the rest of you filthy kinds have! They have destroyed the well-being of the entire world for just being alive! To think that I could trust you and your family! I bet that your family were the ones that killed mine!"He blurted still pointing the gun at her face, "You are nothing to me now!"

And he pulled the trigger ready to shoot. "Please, please Zero, don't do this," she pleaded.

"I have to." Was all that he would say. And then he shot at her, who was still helplessly on the ground.

Blood splattered everywhere, no place in the luscious courtyard would be spared the dread of vampire blood on their petals. Yuuki lay on the ground helpless, with no help available she would soon die; she deserved it, anyway….

Kaname on the other side of the campus had spied them talking and saw when Zero had shot Yuuki. He was rushing to her, as fast as he could. He did not know how he would be able to help but then he would find a way to, no matter what. She was the one that he loved the most.

Finally, he was at her side murmuring to her, "Yuuki? Yuuki? Please stay awake! Don't go!" he pleaded. He did not know what to do, but then he saw where the bullet had hit and he knew that he would be abnle to help her, it had hit her in her heart but then it hadn't pierced through. He began talking to her, "Yuuki? Can you hear me? I want to tell you something…"

"What is it?" she responded with a weak voice.

"Vampires, have this power, I haven't used it before… I didn't know this would happen between you and me…" he was rambling.

She saw the glint in his eye, he really loved her… then she thought, 'does he really?' she responded to his ramblings, "If it will hurt, I don't mind, I know that I am safe when I am with you." He did not know that she felt that way about him too and he leaned in, she closed her eyes and he closed his. When their lips touched (to Kaname) he imagined that it would be destiny come true.

He pulled out the bullet and her chest healed, he was still kissing her though. Yuuki pushed him back, "you saved me!" she exclaimed. Not having a clue what had just happened between them.

"What were you doing with Zero?" he questioned her.

"Pureblood, pureblood, pureblood," she repeated.

"What are you talking about?"

"Pureblood, pureblood, pureblood," she repeated, still lying on the floor, not completely healed as yet.
