Hey there! I know it's late, I did try to get this done before I got my results but I jsut couldn't get it right. And then I tried to get it done after my results but I just had so much to do and sort out! I got into university! whooo, can't believe I got the grades lol! So I've had lots to sort out, but to make up for it, I've written a longer chapter than was planned, and I've stuck a bit of humour in! Well, I've tried to do a bit of humour, hopefully it's okay! I'm not used to writing humour sooooo if it's bad, i obviously need more practice! Anyways on with the story! enjoy!!

"Talking"

"Flashback"

Thinking

"Yuuki-chan!" I turn around to see Yori running up to me. "Good morning!" She gives me a big grin and I smile back slightly.

"Hey." Linking arms we walk towards the school building.

"You coming back to the dorm tonight?" During term time I usually live with Yori in the Girl's dorms and with Cross-san during the holidays.

"Maybe." Today's the first day of the new school term. A lot's happened during the holiday. My dreams, premonitions, visions; whatever you want to call them, have been occurring more frequently. Especially since he came. Zero. He's going to be helping me with my prefect duty; making sure the Day and Night Class stay in line. Meaning I'll be spending a lot of time with him. Which doesn't bother me much, apart from he's agreed to help me find out who I really am: whether I'm a human or a vampire. And from what my dreams have been showing me lately, human seem very unlikely.

"Yuuki? Are you even listening?" I shake the thoughts away for now and smile at my best friend.

"Sorry, my mind was somewhere else." She laughs.

"As I was saying, has Cross-san said anything to you about the new kid?"

"New kid?" Cross-san hasn't mentioned anything... he usually tells me if anyone transfers into our school.

"Apparently his name is Kiryuu... something. And according to the girls in our class, he is hot! Some are even saying his looks rival those of the Night Class!" Kiryuu... Why is that name so familiar... We take our seats in the classroom as I wrack my brains about that name.

"Settle down class. Now I'd like to introduce a transfer student." The class erupted in chatter about the mystery new student. "Quiet." The noise died down again. It always amazes me how our teacher, who looks very timid, can quiet down our class; the noisiest in our year. "Come in."

My head was on my desk as I tried to fight sleep. All my dreams since Zero came have involved me feeding from a certain silver haired boy. I didn't sleep at all last night because frankly, the dreams scare me but I haven't told him that. I haven't even told him I'm having the dreams, never mind how they make me feel.

"Cross-san? Cross-san?" Somebody, presumably Yori, nudged me. Lifting my head up, the whole class was looking and me and giggling. Looking to the front of the class, I saw Zero smirking at me, laughter clear in his eyes.

Wait. Zero? What's he doing in my class?

"Now that you've re-joined us, Cross-san, this is the new student: Kiryuu Zero." My eyes widen. That's why Kiryuu was so familiar. During the holiday I've just been calling him Zero, at his request, that I just kind of forget what his surname was.

So, not only do I have prefect duty with him, he lives with Cross-san, he's agreed to help me... he's now in my class?! Isn't he older than me? He certainly looks it. Not that I've got anything against him... but there's only so much time I can spend with one person.

"I've been informed from the headmaster that he's going to be assisting you with your duties." I can hear my classmates whispering. "Also the headmaster says that you two are already acquainted." More whispers. "So, seeing as you're the only one Kiryuu-san knows at the moment, I'd like you to show him around the school." I just nod.

"Excellent! Now where should we sit you..." The teacher's eyes trail around the classroom before landing on me. Or rather the empty seat beside me. Oh yeah, the only spare seat in the classroom is beside me. Crap. "Isn't it lucky that the only space is beside Cross-san!" He hummed before directing Zero to my table. I'm sure my teacher hates me. Probably because I always fail tests and never hand in my homework... "Cross-san, remember your duty doesn't just involve running around after the Night Class." I groaned as I stood up. Plastering a smile on my face I recited the welcome speech I always have to say to new students.

"Welcome to Cross Academy!" Home to both humans and vampires! Blah blah blah. I hate this speech. I stick my hand out for him to shake. Again. "So that said, if you need anything, feel free to ask." Grabbing my hand he shook it.

"Yuuki."

"Zero." Taking my hand back I heard some of the whispers.

"They're on first name basis already?!"

"She has the attention of all the Night Class! Now she's after the Day Class, too!"

Zero looked at me as I sighed. Yup, Welcome to Cross Academy. Home to human, vampires... and jealous girls. Oh joy.

"That's wrong." I scribbled out my answer and tried again. "Still wrong." I could have sworn there was steam coming out of my ears. Okay, so mathematics isn't my best subject. Hell, everything isn't my best subject! I never have any time to study, so shoot me for not being able to answer the questions. At least I'm trying!

Sneaking a look at Zero's page my jaw hits the desk. He's completed it all already! Okay, number 5 is...

"It's rude to copy other people's work." Smirk.

"Bite me." Raised eyebrow.

Ah, Hell. This day sucks more than others.

"What's with all the vampire references?" Crap said that out loud. This is lack of sleep. Maybe if I just sleep...

"Cross-san! No sleeping during class!"

"Yes sir," I mumble. I hate this school.

--

"Finally!" I ran out ahead of Yori, twirling around. "That must have been the longest day of my life!"

"Really? I thought it went by pretty quick." I stick my tongue out and wait for her to catch up.

"I think I'll go take a nap before prefect duties. If I'm lucky I'll have about an hour..." As I tried to walk towards our dorm, it is the closest so that would mean more nap time, she grabbed onto my arm. Her face wasn't smiling which could only mean one thing: she's going to ask how I'm feeling.

"Are you okay?" She's so predictable.

"I'm fine." If you ignore the fact that my head feels as if it's going to explode.

"Are you sure? You look really..."

"Crap?" I laughed, taking my arm back. "Thanks, Yori-chan." She smiled at me. "Honestly I'm fine." If you ignore the fact that I can hear the sound of her blood rushing through her body... oh God.

"Yuuki-chan? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!" I quickly shake my head and force her a smile.

"I'm fine. I'm gonna go see father, see if he'll tutor me tonight after prefect duty. I'll see you later, 'kay." Before she can respond, I run off towards Cross-san's building.

No. This can't be happening. "Stop taking them. And you'll remember... Stop taking what? The blood tablets." Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. I rush up the stairs to my room, slamming the door behind me. I could hear the blood.

I shake my head, trying to dismiss the thought. I must have imagined it. Yeah, that's it. I haven't slept much the past few nights and my head hurts. I'm just imagining things. Zero was right, I was addicted to my headache tablets, and I'm having withdrawal symptoms. They are just headache tablets... for my headaches... not a substitute for blood...

Standing in front of the mirror I look at myself. No wonder Yori was so concerned. My face is deathly pale in contrast to the dark rings beneath my eyes due to lack of sleep. It's a good job Cross-san's been so busy lately; otherwise he'd know something was wrong.

I could hear it perfectly... the sound of her blood. The need to taste it...

"No!" Falling to the floor I cover my ears with my hands. "No, no, no." Falling onto my side, I pull my legs up to the foetal position. "No, please stop." I don't want to think about someone's blood sliding down my throat, quenching my thirst. I don't want to think about my best friend's blood quenching my thirst.

"Please, no more."

--

Pulling back the covers I climb out of bed. Soft, slow breathing comes from the next bed. Rustling of the bed covers as she turned over. Her hand moves upwards, as I watch, as if trying to move something away in her dreams. I take a couple of steps towards her bed, so light that no noise is made. I sit down on her bed, again so soft no noise is made to disturb her sleeping form.

My fingers trace the outline of her cheekbone, so soft and delicate, before moving down the side of her neck. The feel of her pulse beneath my fingertips. So close, but yet so far. My teeth elongate at the thought of her sweet blood gushing down my throat. My fingertips move to her chin, moving her head to the side, allowing me more access. Lowering my head, my tongue licks at her pulse point. At the contact she moans in her sleep. Opening my mouth I bite down.

Her eyes snap open as she tries to look at me. Sucking at her neck, her blood gushed down my throat and I lick up any strays.

"Yuuki!" She gasps as I suck at her neck. Her hands rise up to grab hold of my shoulders. "Yuuki..." It seems like hours before I lift up from her neck. Her breathing is irregular; her hands lie limp beside her. "Why..." Her eyes find my own. But instead of hatred for the monster who is causing her death, compassion and love shines in her eyes, for the friend she knew.

"I'm no longer who you think I am." My hand searches the bed until I find hers and hold it in my own.

"You will always be... Yuuki. My best... friend. No matter what. Yuuki will always... be Yuuki." A tear leaks from her eye, rolling down her cheek.

"Yori-chan..." My own cheeks are wet with tears as the scene sinks in.

"I love you... Yuuki. Always... No matter what." She smiles as her eyes close. Her breathing slows down until it stops completely. I can no longer hear her heart beating. The room is full of the silence. Nothing.

"I'm so sorry. Yori-chan... Oh God." I lift up from her bed, but cannot avert my eyes that are glued to the holes in her neck. I stagger backwards, falling over my own feet. Even as I hit the floor, no noise erupts the room. Silence. Deadly silence. "What have I done?" I crawl over to me own bed. Pulling my knees up to my chest, my body starts rocking slightly.

"No, no, no." Tears flood my cheeks. Flashes of her face as I drank from her already starting to haunt me.

"No, please stop." I push my fisted hands into my eyes, trying to block the images.

"Please, no more."

Yori-chan... I'm so sorry...

--

"Yuuki!" My head shot up off the floor at the banging on my door. "Are you in there? I'm coming in, so you better be decent." The door creaked open. "Yuuki? What are you doing on the floor?" Grabbing my bed, I pull myself up to my feet.

"I was looking for something." My eyes averted his.

"Did you find it?"

"No." Silence. I finally look up at his piercing lavender eyes, staring straight into me. I glance away nervously. He's not stupid, of course he knows you're lying. "What did you want?"

"It's change over time." Crap. I forgot all about it. Listening carefully I could hear the screeching girls already. He turned around and left, while I trailed behind.

--

"Get in line!" I blew on my whistle, desperately trying to get the attention of the young hormone driven girls. I bet you thought guys were bad. You should meet the girls of Cross Academy.

Glancing around, I wondered how Zero was coping on his first day. On the way over to the Moon dorm's gate, I filled him in on what we should be doing etc. Anything to try and seem normal.

Catching the shine of his silver hair, I turn around and almost fall over in shock. A group of girls, who were usually the noisiest, were all in line and deathly quiet. My eyes reach Zero's face and I see the look he's giving the young girls. It almost made me want to stand in line.

Unfortunately not every girl was looking at his death glare, which meant I was running around trying to stop them from raping the Night Class.

"Yuuki-chan." I lift my head up to see Kaname-san standing in front of me. I try to ignore all the cruel comments from the girls about getting the attention from the Night Class. As they walked by they all gave me a small wave and a 'hello' before continuing on. Now they waited a little bit in front for their Dorm Leader.

"Kaname...-san." His eyes narrowed as he inspected me.

"Is there something wrong, Yuuki-chan? You don't seem yourself today." Shaking my head, I smile at him.

"I'm fine, never better. In fact I haven't felt this good in a long time." Which, at the moment, was actually the truth. I didn't have a headache, and I couldn't hear anyone's blood coursing through their veins. Which, as you would guess, is a plus. And also may prove that I was imagining hearing Yori's blood because of sleep deprivation. Which could have also made me have that weird dream because I was so freaked... at least that's what I'm telling myself.

"If you're sure. If you need anything, you can always come to me you know, Yuuki-chan. Even if it's just to talk."

"I know." Nod and smile. He raises his hand and ruffles my hair slightly before following his classmates. After they're safely inside the building, where they learn God knows what, I let out a sigh of relief. Relief of what, I'm not entirely sure.

I stand there for a while, looking up at the sky. It's starting to get dark, enabling the half moon to be seen. It's so big and bright in the sky, I can imagine it being really beautiful when full. My vision wavers slightly, and instead of looking up at the half white moon I see a full red moon, blood red, darkness swirling around it.

Just like that night.

"Yuuki." I snap out of my trance. The moon's white, normal, again. Bringing my gaze down I look at questioning lavender eyes. "What do we do now?"

"We patrol the grounds. Make sure the students don't interact with the vampires." I stretch my arms up above my head, trying to work out the kinks. As I bring them down my hand unconsciously touches Artemis, strapped safely to my thigh. Just to be on the safe side. Walking away, with Zero following, I head towards the back of the school building.

"Oh, and no student leaves the premises at night. And nothing gets in, either."

I can tell this is going to be a long night, just like the day.

So, let me know what you all think! I hope it's okay .. Ja for now!
