Yori's POV
I knocked on the Chairman's door. "Ooh visitors!! Come in" came his voice. I opened the door and was greeted by a warm smile.
"Aah, Yori-chan, come to uncle Kaien. So what did you come here for?"
"Well, I know about the Night Class' secret and I've decided I want to help"
"Help? You're already helping by being a blood donor"
"Yeah… but I want to do more"
"I see. Well, follow me then"
We went through the corridor. The chairman pulled his keys out, unlocked the door and walked in. The room was filled with shelves full of weapons from gleaming swords to sharp arrows.
"This is a store of the weapons that I had used while I was in the Vampire Hunter Society"
"You were a vampire hunter?"
"Yes… I was. So you want to help, right"
"Yeah"
"Cool. You can be our new assistant prefect!" he exclaimed "Now for your weapon. Hmm… let's see" he looked through the shelves "Aha! This should be just right" he said pulling out a long rod that looked identical to Yuuki's weapon, the Artemis Rod except that it was a nice reddish-wood colour. "This is the Apollo Staff, the twin of Yuuki's weapon (Apollo was also the twin brother to Artemis in Greek mythology)" He handed the weapon to me along with a strap.
"I'll get Yuuki to teach you how to use it"

I had my lesson on how to use the Apollo staff and I always kept it handy, strapped to my thigh. Since I was the new assistant prefect, the Chairman organised a meeting with the Night Class. The fan-girls were always crowding around them, so I had only caught a few glimpses of them. I wasn't like those girls, I never really paid attention to boys. So technically, this was my first time meeting them. They were as good-looking as the Day Class said they were. Even if I hadn't seen them before I knew all their names (duh, the Night Class were basically all the Day Class ever talked about), I just couldn't put the names to the faces. There was Kain aka. Wild – the one that had the wild hair, Aidou aka. Idol – the one they talked about the most, Senri and Rima– who were models (that's not really helpful, the Night Class are beautiful enough for all of them to be models), Ruka – who the class representative was obsessed with, Ichijou – the happy one, Maria – the doll, Seiren – the Pixie, Natsumi – the new girl and Kaname – the mysterious guy. I know, the Day Class girls were so descriptive. I only knew Natsumi, Kaname and Seiren because I had met them before. I still couldn't put the names to the faces. Luckily Yuuki introduced me to them. Now that I knew their names I could see how the Day Class' descriptions fit them. Now I know why Aidou was the main topic of conversation in the Day Class. He was utterly gorgeous, with his blonde curls and dreamy aquamarine eyes. I felt myself going red. Snap out of it Yori, you've never really paid attention to guys, so why are you doing it now "Er… hi guys, well as you know I'm the new assistant prefect, Yori Wakaba" Oh no, my ears were twitching, it always happens when I'm nervous, grrr I hate it when that happens. Well, I was looking forward to my new job already.
Yuuki's POV
I was in the Chairman's office waiting for Natsumi and her mother to arrive. Zero and Yori, and all the Night Class were here to. We heard footsteps coming down the corridor. The door opened, it was Natsumi. "Hi guys!". We sat down and waited. Then we heard a knocking on the door "Is this the Chairman's office?" "Yes it is, please come in" A tall vampire with coppery-red hair and blazing amber eyes stepped in. Well, we could see where Natsumi got her eyes and the coppery-redness that made her hair different from Shiki's. "Hello, and welcome to Cross Academy. I am Chairman Cross and you must be Miss Retasu, Natsumi's mother"
"Yes. Please, call me Kitsune"
"In that case, you may call me Kaien" said the Chairman "Well, Kitsune here's the report on Natsumi so far: She is doing quite well in classes, she's made some friends, we did find that she had a rather bad allergy to blood tablets, but that's fine – we got a blood donor for her so she doesn't starve, she has bitten one other person but all humans nearby have had their memories wiped"
"It's good to hear that she's going well in her new school, If you don't mind, may I speak to my daughter in private" she said.
"Oh sure, go ahead"
Natsumi and her mother walked out of her room. "Yuuki and Zero, please go and check on the Day Class, Kitsune doesn't take blood tablets so we have to make sure no one gets hurt. Yori, I want you to keep an eye out on the Night Class, and tell Shiki to go to the courtyard, Miss Retasu has someone to meet". We all took our positions.
Natsumi's POV
It felt like ages since I had last seen mum, even though it hadn't been that long. "Mum, this is my dorm, Maria and I share it", of course she told me to clean it up, "This is the lounge room, we all just hang out here in our spare-time when we're not in our rooms or outside" I said guiding her through the Moon dormitories. I lead her outside through the back door, she had seen the front garden when she came in so I didn't bother with that, besides the back garden was prettier. "Mum, this is the courtyard we just hang out here"
"Wow, this place is beautiful, I'm glad I sent you here"
"Oh mum, there's someone you just have to meet" I said spotting Shiki, sitting on a bench behind a tree. We walked over to him.
"Oh, is this your boyfriend?"
"No!" I exclaimed "Mum meet Senri Shiki, son of Rido Kuran, my half brother"
"Hmm… well he does look a bit like Rido, now that you mention it, nice to meet you Senri"
"You too, Miss Retasu. Well, I'd better get going, have to get ready for another photo-shoot" he said then walked off.
"Photo-shoot?" said my mother.
"Yep, Senri's part-time jobs is as a model, he works alongside Rima who is also in the Night Class" I explained.
"Speaking of jobs, I think you should be getting a job too. You're old enough and smart enough too, and I can't always send you money"
"Ok well, I'll go look around see if there's any positions available"
