Blood Oath

Chapter Six: Meeting the Pureblood

Ame followed Kaien as he led her into the house only to lead her up to the second floor and going to the far door at the end of the hall on the left only to open the door for her and smile at her while he held the door open. "This will be your room while you stay here, Ame." he said in a kind voice but his smile faltered when he saw the sad look on Ame's face.

"There is no need for you to force yourself to be kind to me, Kaien." she said in a empty voice but there was a faint hint of sadness in it. "Since from what you said, my stay here will be temporary so there is no reason for you to go out of your way to be kind to me." she said as she went to walk past Kaien into the room only for him to put his arm out stopping her.

"Does this have to do with how things happened with Misaki before my friend and I brought you here?" he asked as Ame nodded, but her face was angled down so that her hair hid her eyes but that did not stop Kaien from noticing the trail from the single tear that fell from Ame's right eye. "Ame, I am not forcing myself to be kind to you. I actually am one of few humans who wish for vampires and humans to live in harmony with one another, to put an end to the bloodshed between our two species." he said as Ame looked up at him as tears were still evident in her cerulean eyes.

"Is that even possible?" Ame asked granted she did not know the history between humans and vampires. "The way that mot...Misaki spoke it will never be possible to erase what has happened between vampires and humans." she said in a sad tone as Kaien gave her a sad look.

'Misaki over did it with pushing her away. She now wants no one close to her.' he thought with a sad tone as he could tell just by looking into Ame's eyes that she had already built a wall around herself to keep others out. Though he soon shook his head as he realized she was still waiting for him to speak. "Some see it that way, but there are a very few from both vampires and humans that wish to coexist. And you will be meeting some of them when you are moved to the dorm."

"Dorm?" Ame repeated in confusion as she tilted her head to the side slightly.

"Yes, you will be entered as a student of the night class once things are finalized." Kaien said even though she had been entered to be a student since the morning that Satsu had left her with him six years before.

"I...see..." she said looking away only for Kaien to lower his arm to allow her entrance into her temporary room. So Ame stepped into the room and looked around to see a simple double bed over in the corner with a light blanket on it along with a desk across the room, a small dresser not far from the desk. Then there was a night stand beside the bed on the side not against the wall. Soon after glancing around she glanced to the window to realize that the material that hung there was heavy and thick. "To block the sun?" she asked as she looked toward Kaien and he nodded. Ame went to the bed and sat her single bag down on the bed before she looked back to Kaien. "About how long will I be staying as your guest?" she asked.

"Just until you are sworn in as a member of the night class, then all that you will need to do is meet the pureblood in charge of the class and then he will determine when to move you." Kaien said before he looked like he suddenly remembered something. "Oh! And while you are in this school, you will have to use these for your hunger for blood." he said pulling out a small container with a crest on it that matched the crest she had seen on the archway when they had entered the grounds. He walked over and handed the small case to Ame as she opened it to see that it was several small tablets. "Blood tablets, the same thing that was given to you over the last six years." he said as he caught the look of disgust on Ame's face. Something he guessed was partly due to how she had been kept in the dark only to find out that she was being kept under control by use of blood tablets without her knowing.

"I suppose that is fair enough..." she said as she tossed the container onto the bed beside her bag. "Is there anything else?" she asked in an off hand type of tone.

"Just one thing." Kaien said in a calm tone before he took on the look of what Ame thought was a complete crazy man with how wide his grin was. "I want to introduce you to my daughter and son!" he said in a happy tone. "They are going to be guardians of the academy when class starts up soon." he said in a happy tone.

"I'll pass!" Ame said since she was not much of a people person.

"But!" Kaien said in a voice that sounded near childish. "It is for the better that you get to know them! My darling Yuki is such a nice young girl, and Zero...well he is sometimes something different with how he is very moody." Kaien said as Ame sighed.

"If I meet them, will you leave me be until I am ready to?" she asked giving Kaien a bit of an annoyed look as her eyes took on a faint crimson look due to how she had grown used to having blood tablets at certain times but she had missed a few doses of them so she was a little on edge.

"Yes. Though before I go, you need to take at least one of the tablets to calm yourself. You have been through a traumatic ordeal and you have not had any since we moved you from the safe house." he said as Ame scoffed at him slightly only to go over and open the container and grab out one tablet and pop it into her mouth as she swallowed only to start to feel calmer. "Alright." Kaien said as there was a hint of relief in his voice. "I will leave you alone, but until you are moved again you will need to stay inside." he said before he turned and left the room shutting the door, sending Ame into complete darkness.

Ame had gone to bed somewhat early that night since she had not wished to think on what had happened, only for her to have a strange dream of a woman with long white hair and soft red eyes but that were full of sadness. She was speaking as tears fell down her face onto Ame's face as she was looking up at the woman. She was very beautiful as she wore a light blue yukata that accented her pale skin as she smiled sadly at Ame.

"My precious, Ame. I am sorry that choices have been made for you and not left for you to make for yourself. Know that each choice that all of us have made was out of love for you." The woman said in a gentle tone as she was all but petting Ame's head by resting a pale hand ont he top of Ame's hair only to bring her hand down the length of Ame's long hair.

"What do you mean? Who are you?" Ame asked as she looked up at the woman in curiosity but she just gave her a sad look. "Why are you sad?" Ame asked.

But the woman merely shook her head only for her lips to move but no words came from them...

Ame woke with a start as she sat up gasping for breath as she glanced around frantically due to how she could have sworn she felt another presence in the room just then. Though as her bright eyes scanned the room there was no sign of anyone having been in there. Once Ame was convinced that she was alone, she brought her right hand up to her forehead and rested it against her palm. 'Who was that woman...' she thought to herself as she had the odd feeling that she had seen her somewhere before.

After a few more minutes of sitting there, Ame threw off the blanket revealing her white knee length night dress that hung loose on her small figure, almost matching her pale skin. Soon she moved her legs so they were over the edge of the bed as she shook her head feeling beyond shaken as though someone had been calling to her. 'It was just a dream...' she thought as she shifted and planted her pale feet on the soft dark carpet in the room and walked over to the desk where she had left the blood tablets. She opened the container and got one out only to add it to a glass of water, that she guessed that Kaien had brought in for her, and waited for it to dissolve before she brought the glass up to her lips and went to drink it before she thought of how the tablets had been used to control her for six years. A thought that resulted in her throwing the glass across the room as it shattered upon contact with the wall, staining the wall and carpet with the fake blood.

By the end of the second night, Ame felt that her want for blood was growing but she refused to take the blood tablets since to her they were a means for people to control her. That and it seemed her hunger had been a trigger for the dream she had, and deep down she had wished to see that woman again, to try and find out who she was. So Ame remained locked in her dark room, even resorting to pacing to keep her mind off of her want for blood. It was not until she fell asleep around dawn that she was at peace in her thoughts as she had a dream of a happy scene.

Ame was a small child, maybe around five running around the garden outside of a large estate house. Flowers of every color were around her as she played before she saw the woman once again walking toward her. She felt beyond happy as she ran over toward her as the woman knelt down with her arms open to Ame as she ran into the hug. The two remained like that for a long time, as Ame wished it would go on forever. For her to be able to know a loving touch...

Ame woke about an hour before sunset only to find a very disappointed Kaien sitting in a chair beside her bed. She rolled over to her side so her back was to him but he reached out putting a hand on her shoulder. "I know you have not taken a blood tablet in a few days, either you take one or I will have to make you so that you do not push your limit." he said in a tone that was serious as Ame looked back toward him with a crimson glare as she sat up.

"Why should I keep taking them!" she snapped. "For six years they were used to keep me under control, but I was never given a choice in taking them! They were forced on me!" Ame said as she bared her fangs at Kaien.

"Ame, they are meant to help you supress your hunger nothing more. I would never use that to control you because you are your own person." he said as he held out a hand with a single blood tablet. "Take it and then I wish to talk to you about the dreams you have been having." he said as Ame gave him a shocked look but reluctantly she reached out and took the blood tablet from Kaien's hand and put it in her mouth only to swallow a second later.

Ame felt herself calm almost instantly since her hunger was held off yet again for the time being, but only barely since for some reason she was starting to crave something more. "What do you want to talk about them for?" she asked looking toward Kaien as she soon stood from her bed and went over to the window and shifted the curtain to peek out at the setting sun as Kaien lit a candle for his own use since Ame could see in the dark. When he was silent she let the curtain fall back closed as she looked toward him with a curious look.

"I was wondering if they are the reason that you have been starving yourself. Because you took the tablet willingly the other night but last night I heard the glass shatter and when I looked in this morning I saw the broken glass and the stains from the substitute blood on the wall and the carpet." he said in a serious tone.

"No, it is because I feel that the only reason I was given the tablets to begin with was a way for me to be controled since I was still young and I guess that made me a dangerous vampire to where Misaki thought it necessary to give me the tablets in secret to control me." she said in a hurt tone.

"I am sure she did not use them for that reason. She was just doing what she thought was for the best. Because to insure you remained safe, we had to make it appear you were a human since other vampires were after you." Kaien said as he could tell from just looking at Ame as she turned to look at him, that she was wishing to know more on what was going on so he spoke again. "But sadly we do not know why they were hunting you." he said as Ame nodded in understanding. "Though, about the dreams you have been having..."

"They are nothing." Ame said looking away from Kaien not sure if she should share anything about the woman she had seen in two of her dreams now.

"I find that a bit hard to believe, Ame. Because when I first came in here you looked beyond happy where as last night you looked troubled." he said in a worried tone watching Ame closely.

"It was nothing. Just dreams of my time with Misaki." she said even though she knew full well that the woman in her dreams was not Misaki.

Though it seemed that Kaien knew or at least suspected that he was not going to get the truth out of Ame about the dreams so he stood from the chair. "I see." he said as he started toward the door. "Please stay on the blood tablets, and I expect that you will be ready to meet my son and daughter tomorrow night?" he asked as Ame nodded absently figuring the sooner she got it over with, the better. "Great!" Kaien said in his cheerful tone that made Ame wonder if the man was bipolar with how one second he was calm near somber but then the next second he was like a hyperactive child.

The next evening as night fell, Ame changed out of her night dress into a casual knee length light blue dress that matched her eyes, and white slipper like shoes that slipped easily onto her feet. She used the single candle for light that Kaien had left for her as she stood before a mirror that he had brought in the night before right before she had gone to bed saying that way she could brush her hair that was a bit of a mess since she had not bothered to really brush it out since she was brought here. So she picked up her brush that lay on the desk and then went to start brushing her long white hair only to while she was looking in the mirror see the image of the woman from her dreams standing over her shoulder.

Ame turned and looked around almost frantically only to see that no one was there. She turned back to the mirror as she continued to brush out her hair and then pull the sides back so that the front hung about and slightly in her face and eyes while the back hung down her back as she tied back the two sides into a small ponytail near the top of the back of her head. 'Like this...I almost look like that woman in my dreams, except she is far more beautiful than I am.' Ame thought to herself before she heard the door opening behind her as she turned to see Kaien there wearing what she thought was a very silly smile.

"Ready, Ame-chan?" he asked as Ame looked at him with a raised eye brow.

"Chan?" she asked in confusion.

"Yes. It's a way for one to address someone who they are fond of or a friend." he said before gesturing for her to come more over into the light since she was still mostly in the shadows. So Ame did so as Kaien gave her a shocked look only to make Ame feel uncomfortable.

"What? Why are you giving me that look?" she asked as he shook his head.

"Sorry, it's just that even the first time I saw you, you were dressed in what some vampires would classify as rags. But dressed like this you look more like a princess." he said before turning to head down the hall before Ame could say anything. "It is time for you to meet Zero and my darling Yuki." he said in a happy tone while Ame sighed and followed behind him.

The two walked in silence as Ame wondered what Zero and Yuki would be like since Kaien had only spoke of them as Yuki being a kind girl and Zero being moody. Sounded like his kids were just as opposite as their father's personality. Not surprising in Ame's opinion.

When they reached the edge of the living room, Kaien stopped and turned toward Ame. "I want you to wait right here until I tell you to come in. That way i can let them know you are out here and be ready to see you." he said as Ame was on guard almost instantly at hearing that he had to warn them of her despite how she had done as he said and taken a blood tablet earlier before he got her from her room.

"Alright." Ame said with a sigh as Kaien smiled before walking away, leaving Ame in the dark hall way as she leaned against the wall listening to the conversation taking place in the living room.

"What is it, headmaster?" a calm voice of a young man, who Ame assumed was Zero, asked not long after Kaien had gone into the room. "I thought you said that there was a new girl you wanted us to meet." he said in a near bored tone.

"I do want you to. But I figured it would be best I let you know she is not like some other students here." Kaien said in a slightly nervous tone.

"Is she part of the night class?" a girl, Ame assumed was Yuki, asked as she sounded far more gentle than Zero.

'So how he described them was accurate from what I am able to gather from their voices...' Ame thought to herself as there was silence for a brief second.

"Yes." Kaien said as there was a faint sound as he cleared his throat and spoke. "Ame! Come in here please." he said as Ame leaned away from the wall and walked over to the edge of the door frame and took a deep breath before stepping so she was in the door way looking toward Kaien before she looked toward a young girl with short cut brown hair and large brown eyes. She looked very kind, and very innocent. Ame even took note of the black uniform the girl was wearing that was was a fitting top and a black skirt, knee high black stockings and brown boots that laced up. Soon Ame looked from the girl to the boy only to see he had beautiful silver hair that hung in his face and in his violet eyes that were wide at the moment staring at her.

'She...she is no normal vampire!' Zero thought in a near panic at seeing the young girl who was except for her eyes a near younger mirror of the woman who had attacked and killed his family and hurt him. Without any further thought Zero slipped his hand into the pocket on the inside of his shirt and drew out his Bloody Rose and aimed it right at the girl who looked unphased as she gave him the neutral look to rival the one of that woman.

While Ame gave him a neutral look Yuki had rushed to get between Zero and Ame as Kaien went to go at Zero but they were to late. The Bloody Rose went off as a symbol appeared but where Zero had been aiming there was nothing but a blasted away part of the door frame where Ame had been standing as he rushed to look around only to see Ame had moved over near the fire place. "Die you vampire!" Zero said as he went to turn his gun on Ame again but Yuki grabbed got between the two and Kaien grabbed the Bloody Rose away from Zero.

"You cannot just go shooting at her because she is part of the night class, Zero!" Yuki scolded Zero before she turned while Kaien took Zero from the room to talk to him. "I am sorry about how Zero acted, I don't know what got him so worked up. He tends to not like vampires but I have never seen him aim to attack one like that." she said as Ame shook her head.

"I am used to it." she said since Zero's words and actions reminded her of the last time she had seen Misaki. "He obviously harbors a deep hatred for vampires, and because I am one he sees it as that is all I am without bothering to give me a chance." Ame said as she closed her eyes. "This was a mistake for Kaien to try and introduce me to you and Zero." Ame said as she walked around Yuki only for her to run after her but Ame was already up the stairs and going into her room shutting the door, a universal sign that she wished to be alone.

A few hours later, Ame left her room and headed to where she guessed Kaien's room to talk to him about the events earlier. Without knocking she opened the door and walked in to see Kaien standing by the window looking out at the night sky. "I was starting to wonder when you would come out, Ame." he said as Ame was happy he had dropped the 'chan' from her name since right now was no joking matter.

She walked over to the couch in the room as she sat down and looked toward Kaien. "I want the truth." she said in a stern tone. "What was that gun that Zero tried to shoot me with? Why did he show instant hatred for me when he only just met me?" Ame asked. "Because looking into his eyes, I got the feeling that there is more to it than just a hatred of vampires." she said as she kept her eyes on Kaien as he turned and walked away from the window to sit in an arm chair to her right.

"I will answer your questions as best I can in the order you asked them." he said as he sat down. "First off, the gun that Zero tried to shoot you with, is known as the Bloody Rose. It is an anti vampire gun and as such it is meant to harm or kill vampires in a single or sometimes few shots depending on the accuracy of the one firing the gun." Kaien said figuring a simple answer would justify. "Before you ask, I allow Zero to carry it for a just incase for if anyone from the night class should try anything to harm anyone, or if a Level E should be nearby so that he may handle it without the risk of anything going wrong, as it is also a birth right for him to have a anti vampire weapon since Zero is from a family of vampire hunters."

"That would have been nice to know!" Ame snapped since had she known that one of the two she was being introduced to was a vampire hunter like the woman who had pretended to be her mother she would have not bothered to meet with Zero.

"I did not think that he would react in such a way. Because he is not one to do so unless he feels very threatened since he does not attack the night class without justified reason. At least he is not supposed to." Kaien said in a thoughtful tone.

Ame merely nodded as she thought over what Kaien said as she decided to hold off on her new question until he was done answering the other one she had asked.

"As to your question about his hatred toward you...I believe it is from how his family was attacked by a vampire four years ago. An attack that only he survived." Kaien said not going into details as Ame looked down in understanding.

So he had been orphaned by a vampire that had killed his family. No wonder he hated vampires so much. The hatred she had seen in his eyes...it had been a deep hatred that looked like he had been nursing it ever since that event had happened. Though with that in mind, Ame decided to forget about the last question she was going to ask as she stood as she spoke. "Thank you for answering my questions, Kaien. But now I need to go have a talk with Zero." she said as she went to head toward the door only to hear Kaien stand abruptly.

"A-Ame! But that would just be fanning the fire at this point!" he said in a borderline frantic tone.

"Maybe it will, but there is something I wish to talk to him about." she said as she had gotten an odd feeling from Zero that she wished to confront him on. Mainly due to how she had a feeling his hatred went much...much deeper than Kaien had been saying. So with that Ame walked out of Kaien's room and shut the door behind herself before she headed to the room down the hall right at the top of the stairs.

Once again, without knocking she opened the door only to see Zero stand from his bed and aim his Bloody Rose at her once again as she stepped into the room and shut the door since he had the light on at the momnet so it was beyond easy for the two to see one another.

"What do you want, vampire?" he asked in a low tone full of hatred as he held the Bloody Rose steady.

"I wanted to ask you why you hate me so much when I am not the vampire that changed you." Ame said bluntly only for Zero to fire a shot at her that made her hair by her right shoulder shift but she remained where she was.

"How do you know?" Zero asked as his eyes hardened even more as he clenched his teeth as Ame could see his fangs were there but not that pronounced at the moment. "Did the headmaster tell you?" he asked in a low tone.

"No. All he told me was that a vampire attacked and killed your family but that you survived." she said calmly. "But I guess you could say it was intuition that you are a vampire too but we are different. Because from what I gather you used to be human." she said as Zero glared even harder at her.

"And with you, you were born one of those disgusting beasts!" he said as Ame smirked.

"Do you call me a disgusting beast in an attempt to provoke me so that you have a justification to kill me, Zero?" she asked giving Zero a neutral look but that had authority behind it. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I am used to being called a beast in human form. Though you should learn to accept that you now are one too." she said before she turned and opened the door before walking out and shutting the door behind her before heading back to her own room.

Ame had gone to bed around dawn since she had been worked up after the encounter with Zero since how he looked at her the whole time during the encounter had unnerved her. It was as though he saw someone else within her, but how was that? Surely it couldn't be anyone she might be related to, or could it have been? She had no memory of having a family, but they had to be vampires since from what Kaien had told her she was a vampire but just of unknown origins, and it would have been known if she were a former human vampire like Zero.

'I am thinking to much into this! Why should it matter if he sees someone else when he looks at me? It's not like even if I said anything further to him or even asked him who he thought he saw in me that he would answer. He is just like Misaki...' Ame thought as she changed into her night dress and fell onto her bed as a few tears fell down her face. 'But if he would tell me...then maybe I would be able to find out who I really am...' she thought as she soon drifted off into sleep.

Ame walked behind a man wearing a black trench coat as he was leading her through the trees. But she was no more than six years old as she glanced around laughing and pointing at different things, more so when she saw a firefly as she ran over to it to look closer at it. "Look! Isn't it pretty?" she asked as she was knelt by where it had landed near the bottom of a tree trunk. "Don't you agree Atu?" she asked in a innocent voice as the man walked over closer to her and knelt down as she saw he had blonde spiked hair but his eyes were cast in shadow.

"Yes, though do you know what that one is called, Ame?" he asked in a gentle tone.

Ame looked back at the firefly as she blinked a few times while deep in thought before she looked back at Atu. "A light bug!" she said with a laugh as Atu gave her a surprised look before chuckling at her and resting his slightly tanned hand on her head.

"Not quite. It is a firefly. They light up the nights during late spring through mid fall." he said as Ame laughed.

"But why not all year? They are so pretty so they would look very pretty lighting up a snowy night in the winter." she said as Atu chuckled yet again.

"That may be, but the winter is far to cold for them." Atu said before he stood and held out a hand that Ame took and stood before she hugged Atu's leg...

Ame woke with a start gasping for breath as she sat up and rested her hand on her head slowly calming herself only to look toward the blood tablets on the desk only to figure going without them for the rest of the day would be fine. She would just take one after she woke from sleeping more toward dusk. Though after a second she shifted and stood from her bed as she walked over to the window to peek out to see it was only around noon as she let the curtain fall back into place because it was far to bright out for one like her who was used to the darkness. 'Guess I should go back to sleep for a few more hours.' she thought as she was tired. So she walked over to her bed and laid back down and pulled the blanket up onto herself before letting her head rest on the pillow as she soon drifted off to sleep.

Three days later Ame was pacing around her room shortly after dusk as she felt like her throat was burning due to how she had been denying her hunger in desperation to see the calm dreams involving the man with blonde hair. He was so gentle, and even if it was only a dream, she wished to hold to any kindness she could get since she was not willing to accept it when she was awake due to how she thought any who acted kind to her had alterior motives like Misaki. But as such, Kaien had come in only for Ame to yell at him to leave due to how sensing his blood so close had made her want blood more than ever but she had contained her hunger long enough for him to leave the room. But through the door he yelled for her to take a blood tablet or at least half of one to calm herself a bit since she was to have company in the next hour.

She was not sure who it could be so she merely dressed in a pure white dress she had and the shoes she had worn the other night when she had met Zero and Yuki. However she refused to touch the blood tablets since she figured if she did then they would calm her so that she would not see that man again until she deprived herself for a short while again.

Within the hour there was a light knock on the door as Kaien's voice sounded from the other side. "Ame? The guest I mentioned to you is here." he said before the door opened and Ame looked toward the figure in the dark since she had not bothered to use the candles that Kaien had placed in her room to help her adjust to the light gradually as she woke. But within a second the light in the room was turned on and Ame closed her eyes due to the sudden shock before she slowly opened them as her vision was blurry for a brief second before clearing as she looked toward the male at the door. He was much taller than her since she could tell even from the other side of the room she only came up to his chest at most. He had brown hair that was well kept but it fell into his brown eyes that had a red like tint to them. He wore a uniform identical to the one she had seen Zero wearing, except the colors were inverted except the shoes were the same deep brown. "This is Kaname Kuran." Kaien said only for Kaname to speak.

"Headmaster, I think it would be best if Ame and I spoke just the two of us." he said in a calm voice that seemed to hold wisdom beyond his years from what Ame could tell. "If that is alright with you." he said as he even seemed to be refined in manners as well as how he seemed to carry himself it was as though he were of royalty.

"Of course. I will be downstairs if you need anything." Kaien said before he shut the door leaving Ame and Kaname alone.

"I see that you have not done as you were instructed before I came by." Kaname said in a gentle tone but it also had a hint of authority to it. "You should take a blood tablet to calm your hunger so that we can talk." he said only for Ame to scoff at him.

"Why should I? I do not like taking them." she said crossing her arms over her stomach as she looked toward him with a defiant look in her eyes.

"I would rather not order you to, but I will if need be." he said giving Ame a stern look.

"Fine." she said not really wanting to argue as she walked over to the desk and picked up one of the tablets and put it in her mouth and swallowed feeling herself calm a bit almost instantly. "Though why did Kaien want you to talk to me?" she asked looking back toward Kaname as he was still standing in the same place.

Though a second later he smiled ever so slightly where it was almost unnoticable. "It is because he thought it best for me to tell you when you will be moved into the Moon Dorm with the other vampires in attendance at this academy." Kaname said as he walked over to the desk near Ame and looked her over as she felt nervous and adverted her eyes from him. "But there is something different about you compared to the other vampires." he said in a low tone as Ame looked back up at him as he was curious as to why she was not showing signs of respect or fear toward him.

"I know, Kaien already told me that while I am a vampire, there is no telling which class of vampire I fit in besides that I am not a former human vampire or anything lower." she said casually.

"And your last name is Hoshi?"

"Yeah...I guess it is." Ame said looking away as she heard shifting only to look and see Kaname sat in the chair before the desk while looking at her with a unreadable expression but she caught the hint that he wanted to know why she answered that way. "I only recently found out that is apparently my last name since for the last six years I was going by the name of Ame Kuren since the woman I believed to be my mother had that last name." she explained.

"So you were raised by Misaki Kuren, a hunter?" Kaname asked casually.

"Yes. But she never told me until the night I was taken away from her by Kaien and another man that I was a vampire and not her real daughter." Ame explained.

"Well that is in the past. For now we need to focus on getting you ready to enter the night class. I am sure once you move into the moon dorm tomorrow night-"

"Tomorrow? That soon?" Ame interrupted Kaname in shock.

"Yes, the sooner the better. I would ask the headmaster for you to be moved tonight but I figure that right now it is best that tonight you remain here and then tomorrow night at dusk we handle you taking the oath to enter the night class. Then you will be escorted to the Moon Dorm where you will meet the rest of the night class." Kaname explained. "And I am sure that once there you will come to better understand your true self and maybe find some truths about yourself." he said calmly before he stood. "Though for now," he reached into his jacket and pulled out a few papers, "this is the oath so I suggest you spend tonight reading over it and also familiarizing yourself with the rules for the night class." he said as he handed the papers to Ame before he turned and walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Ame looked down at the papers that had been handed to her as she knew that this meant that once again her life was going to change. But this time she would be moved from the care of humans into the care of those who were like her. She would for the first time in her known life be living amoung her own kind. Amoung vampires. She gripped the papers tight to her chest as she wondered if she was ready to live amoung them and learn to be one.
