Princess Of Darkness

[Night Class Dorms]

[At the Gates of the Night Class Dorms Ivory, Zero and Yuki are standing guard as usual Yuki was looking a little reliefed]

''Not many people today? says Yuki

''that's because the exams are tomorrow. says Zero

''that's right the Lowest scoring class ends up with backstage duties and can't attend the ball this year says Yuki

[She groans walking away as Ivory smiles a little]

''Are you that eager to go? says Ivory

I mean, not really We have our Disciplinary Committee duties and the class rep will be quite fussy about that with everything so I'm not sure what to do. says Yuki

[The Gates open as the Night Class students walk there normal path to the Class Rooms Kaname is first it seems as he passes Yuki and Zero. He turns to look at Ivory who's eyes are staring at Maria nervously Hanabusa looks at her smiling]

''It's quiet. I wish it were like this all the time. [Aido turns to look at Maria] ''are you still worried about that girl? says Kane

''I'm not the only one to worry either says Aido

[Maria is the last one walking among the Night Class and she smiles at Zero and Ivory who she stops to touch her face Ivory closes her eyes as she gets a vision from her seeing another woman dressed all in white. Maria smiles knowingly when Zero snatches Ivory away from her she looks at Zero worried]

''Zero...says Ivory

''Don't let her harm you Ivory says Zero

[Yuki watches the two of them seeing the look of fear in both their eyes. They walk towards the fountain where Zero was standing by himself]

''What's wrong Zero? says Yuki

''I told you not to go near that woman says Zero

''Yeah I know but why? says Yuki

[Ivory sits down touching the water] ''Because she is dangerous Yuki...Something about her sends Ice through my spine she is not to be trusted says Ivory

''Don't get involved with her again! I beg you says Zero

[He leaves]

[The Headmaster's House]

[Yuki is sitting down at the table doing her work and studying when she continues to day dream the Headmaster looks at her sternly]

''Yuki you're lost in your thoughts again. Focus says Headmaster

''I'm sorry says Yuki

''As I was saying, you substitute the value of X over there and...says Headmaster

''but why...? says Yuki

''You don't know why...says Headmaster

[Ivory and Zero stand at the doorway looking at them]

''Zero...Ivory says Yuki

''Oh perfect timing you two Zero can you help Yuki with her studies, won't you? the Exams are tomorrow and she still doesn't get it says Headmaster

Oh yes of course says Zero

''I'll go make the rounds in your place.[to Ivory] ''Dear Ivory I know how good your grades are and that you don't need to study since you've already done so which I am going to let you come with me to patrol tonight says Headmaster

''O-Okay says Ivory

[She follows the Headmaster outside]

[Night Class Dorms]

[Kaname is sitting behind his desk as he looks at Maria who was standing in front of his desk]

''That body...that name...at first I wasn't sure what your intentions were. says Kaname

''Oh, It was in deference to you. says Maria

''it was offensive Although I think you just wanted to play around with us says Kaname

''Me play a game? When did you start looking at people so conscientiously? After all, we are both Purebloods says Maria

[She giggles then leaves leaving Kaname to look after her with anger in his face]

[Zero enters the Old Dorm House where Maria is staying and he enters a ballroom where she is waiting for him.]

''that's right you have the ability to sense my presence after all, there is a bond between us right now it fills the void in my heart [Zero comes closer until he grabs the back of her neck and then pulls out his gun and points it at her] ''Finally...you've come to kill me...Punish me for my crimes I've committed...Zero providing that you can actually pull the trigger [Zero was shocked as he stares at her] ''Why are you so shocked? Because you can't shoot? says Maria

[She takes his face between her hands and leans up to kiss him when he pulls back from her]

''Don't touch me...says Zero

''You cannot kill me. One fallen to the role of Servant cannot possibly kill his master who gave him life as a vampire. [Zero pushes her away and again aims his gun at her] ''I've never come across one who hasn't yielded to me Good boy...I'm so glad I chose you says Maria

[Ivory is walking down the stairs when she hears Maria's voice she stops looking through the doors to see Zero and Maria talking]

''Zero...says Ivory

''I'm impressed that you recognized me even though my appearance is different...Zero as the one who stole your life as a Human...says Maria

''No, I won't forget Shizuka Hio...that day your real face was wet with our blood says Zero

''Maria is...the vampire who threw Zero into darkness? says Ivory

''As you know this body isn't mine So please don't resort to violence...says Maria

''[Maria pulls out a sword and begins to rush Zero and they fight Ivory begins to pull out her own sword and was about to go inside when someone pulls her back Maria smiles looking towards the door]

''Ah...Ivory Masaki it is so good to see you again...[to Zero] ''I won't allow you...to look elsewhere. says Maria

''Maria...what are you doing? says Ivory

''It's hard to get adjusted to a borrowed body we have to heal our wounds and start over...both of us says Maria

''What? how did you? says Zero

[He falls to his knees as blood comes from his shoulder]

''Blood loss could lead to intense hunger be careful A Vampire's true nature is extremely savage and cruel although Hunters are not so different...if you ask me says Maria

[Kaname looks at Ivory who was standing over Zero as Maria leaves then turns to Ivory smiling]

''My dear Ivory...You are a gifted one indeed it was you who stopped me from truly killing him says Maria

''What? says Ivory

''Freeze Magic is very hard for a Young witch to learn without guidence if you want I can be your teacher...says Maria

[She laughs as she walks out of the room. Ivory looks at Kaname confused He sighs placing a hand on her forehead]

''If something like this kills him, he is of no use at all. [He caresses her face then he steps closer until he leans towards her face she closes her eyes] ''You...are the one I absolutely cannot lose...Maria is after you now because you are a witch says Kaname

''But why? what Can I do for her? says Ivory

[He lays his lips on hers she stiffens in surprise then pulls away] ''She wants what I want and when she sets out to get what she wants she will not stop...You are a very special witch and one that I will not allow to slip through my grasp says Kaname

''she said she can teach me...How does she know what gifts I have? says Ivory

''Because she was the one who killed your family of witches hoping to take you away from them...I was there to protect you for them but I was too late She is aware of you and will not stop until you are on her side as a vampire says Kaname

[She gasps in shock hearing this then she was pulled into Kaname's arms he takes her mouth with his she moans as she tries to pull away but his hands were holding her face to his when she suddenly begins to feel drowsy and then she falls asleep he picks her up and walks out of the Old Dorm House The Headmaster was waiting on him]

''You found her good...says Headmaster

''Headmaster it is time that she will be protected she will not be allowed to stay alone if she can't be protected well...If this keeps up I will force her to live at the Night Class Dorms and she will never leave again is that understood. says Kaname

''I understand Kaname...I will make sure that she doesn't remember Maria's true purpose. says Headmaster

[Day Class]

[Yuki is sitting with Yori getting ready to do the Exams when she looks over at Ivory seeing she was staring at her books in a daze and she was pale]

''What is wrong with Ivory? says Yori

''I don't know she has been so quite for a whole day I wonder what happened to her? says Yuki

''Listen up everyone, You must score High in every subject is that understood? says Head Boy

[Ivory is taking the test like everyone else when she feels eyes on her she turns to see Yuki who seems worried about her then she looks up at the empty desk where Zero was suppose to be. Finally about an hour of working on the exams the class was finally over]

''Finally the exams are over how did you do Ivory? says Girl

''Hmm...[she looks up at the girls] ''I aced it finally I feel like I've worked really hard for this says Ivory

''I knew you would I wish that I could have studied with you at least I Would have made a perfect score says Girl2

''Yuki seems to be staring into space lately...says Girl3

Hey Ivory...how are you today? says Yuki

''I'm fine...[She was touching her aching head like she was suppose to remember something] ''I feel like I should be remembering something right now but I can't seem to remember anything says Ivory

''Hmm...what happened to Zero? says Yuki

''I don't know He didn't come to class today says Ivory

[Ivory, Yuki and Yori leave the Class Room walking through the corridor's until they reach the cafe way when Ivory begins to sway she groans as she falls against a column Yuki gasps as she helps her]

''Ivory are you alright speak to me? says Yuki

''Ivory...you look really pale are you sick? says Yori

''I-I don't know I am feeling so lightheaded says Ivory

[Yuki turns as the girls and boys gasp at seeing Kaname and Ichijio walking towards them Yuki blushes as Kaname touches her shoulder]

''Hello, Yuki...says Kaname

[Ichijo looks at Ivory who was leaning against a column seeing she was sweating Kaname walks over to her placing a hand under her chin to look into her eyes she closes her eyes]

''Kaname...what is wrong with Ivory? says Yuki

''She's seems to be overwelmed with things lately...[He takes Ivory's hand in his leading her away] ''Here walk with me for a bit Ivory says Kaname

''T-thank you Kaname...says Ivory

[Yuki follows them wondering what it was that Kaname wanted to speak to them about the other girls were hiding behind trees trying to get a glimpse of Kaname and Ichijio]

''Hey, don't push me! says Girls

''Is something wrong? I mean, look at the time...says Yuki

''I wanted to discuss the ball with you...says Kaname

''Okay says Yuki

''You're going, aren't you I mean both of you? says Kaname

''Yes, I've been asked to Patrol the ballroom...says Ivory

''That is not what I meant says Kaname

''Huh? [She looks at Yuki who was blushing at Kaname seeing that she really likes him she turns away folding her arms around herself feeling confused] ''B-but I don't have anything to wear to such an event and besides you look like you want to be alone with Yuki and invite her so...I will be going back to my dorm says Ivory

[Yuki looks at Ivory seeing a look of lonelyness and sadness as she walks away but her hand was taken by Kaname Ivory turns confused looking at him]

''It is you I want to ask to the dance with Ivory...it's for your protection that I stay close to you at all costs...says Kaname

''I see...like I said I don't need protection I can take care of myself...but thank you says Ivory

[Yuki looks at Kaname seeing he was clenching his fists together like he was trying not to grab Ivory and hold her she smiles a little seeing that somehow Kaname likes Ivory]

''Ivory...you really don't get it do you? [He steps towards her and touches her face she looks at him confused] ''I will always Protect you says Kaname

''Uh Kaname we really should get going now says Ichijio

''All right well then I will see you both at the ball Ivory says Kaname

''Y-yes says Ivory

''[Ichijio waves at Ivory] ''See you later Ivory [to Kaname] ''It seems as though she's completely forgotten everything says Ichijio

''There are things that are better forgotten says Kaname

[Walking around on her Duties Ivory thinks about everything that Kaname has said and ever since he was around the sick feeling disappeared on her. She stops when she hears a meow looking down to see a black cat she sighs going down on her knees to pet it as it rubs against her]

''What's wrong? are you lost? says Ivory

So you have forgotten Ivory about that boy? says Maria

'That boy? says Ivory

''He is always by that girl Yuki's side and yours when you are on your night patrols says Maria

''You mean Zero? [The cat in her hands begin to struggle and then it scratches her then jumps down] ''Ah ow [she then suddenly gasps as she remembers what happened between Zero and Maria] ''I remember how can I Forgot such a thing [Maria smiles then turns around to leave when Ivory touches her arm] ''Maria what did you do to Zero? says Ivory

'He's going to be alright for the time being [She turns around to touch Ivory's face] ''but soon, he will degenerate into a Level E and when that happens he won't listen to Yuki anymore but if you are interested in saving Zero let's make a deal says Maria

''Huh? says Ivory

''I want you to do something that only you can do says Maria

[Maria leans down to Ivory's face until she kisses her Ivory stiffens then pulls away only for her to hold on to her tightly she groans then she was let go and she falls to her knees]

''What did you do that for? says Ivory

'[Giggles] ''The only thing I want from you is your Blood and I shall have it and when I do You will serve me as my Witch...together we will be a unbeatable team says Maria

''I won't work for you or any vampire so just leave me alone...says Ivory

''Oh...if not me then Kaname will have your loyality and it's not just your blood he wants but your soul...He tends to make you his says Maria

''What? says Ivory

''I am afraid it's true why do you think he Protects you so hard He will soon make his move and there will be nothing for you to stop him says Maria

[Ivory watches Maria turn around and leaves thinking about what Maria told her and she was truly scared for her life.]
