Note: I DO NOT OWN Vampire Knight.

Chapter 20: The new student part (1).

"Let hatred be your sustenance and grow up quickly...sweet Zero..." said a calm and gentle voice, as a head threaded itself in silver hair.

"You wish to kill me, do you not? I want to watch you forever." The cold, pale blood-stained hand moved some of the sliver bangs out of the young boy's eyes, revealing traumatized amethyst eyes.

"Hehe...I want to watch you closely forever...those eyes which are filled with hatred just for me...I'm so happy that you and I are bounded by the 'bond' that can never be broken." Amethyst eyes stared into a pair of pale pink eyes, only to see a woman with a devious smile on her face.

...

"*Gasp*!" Amethyst eyes snapped open and Zero gasped. "Mama?" cried Mochi as she watched Zero sit up and placed a hand over his tattoo, before snapping out of his daze and turning towards her with a kind smile. "I'm fine, it's nothing sweetie. Let's go back to sleep."

Meanwhile in the Headmasters office...

"It seems that the damn woman is still alive." Toga stated as he looked outside a window with his eyes narrowed. Kaien's eyes widened in shock as he flinched before looking at Toga before looking back to his paperwork with a visible frown on his face.

The next day that afternoon at the gate of the Night Class dorms...

The Day class girls were all chatting about the Night class students, as usual, while they waited for the gates to open. But this time, they were talking about the upcoming ball where both Night and Day class students gather. While Yuki was trying her best to hold them back, however, it looks like she didn't make any difference.

"Excuse me! At these time, all of you Day Class students cannot go any further than this!" she yelled, pushing them back before looking over her shoulder at Zero. "Don't you think that they are unusually excited today?!"

"It's all because of that troublesome event." Zero stated before looking back at Yuki. "Make sure you're ready when the gates open."

Just as Zero said, the grand gates started opening. "Huh?!" Yuki gasped as the girls started to squeal as the Night class walked pass them. "Don't push! Don't push!" Yuki cried as the girls pushed and shoved against her.

One of the girls on Zero's side tried to get past him without being noticed, but the moment she stepped on the invisible line that Zero had created. The taller silver-haired teen snapped at her.

"If you take one step in front of me, I'll make you cry," he said, the girl froze before she stumbled back and fell to her knees behind the invisible line as the girls started to comfort her and talk badly about Zero. "HEY!" yelled one of the girls who was trying to stand up and take to him. But Zero hissed and turned towards the girls with a dark aura surrounding him, but before he could say anything a hand was suddenly placed on his shoulder stopping him, and the girls.

"Need help pushing them back?" asked Aido and Zero faced him. "No, but thanks for as-" before Zero could finish his sentence, Aido grabbed Zero's arm, dragging him inside and slammed the door shut. Ignoring the girl's outcries of not being fair. "Sorry Ladies," said Aido as he listens to the girl's cries in amusement and turned to the rest of the group. "They are just jealous, how cute."

"By the way, Zero is Mochi coming to the Grand ball?" asked Aido, while Zero removed Aido's grip from his arm and thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Most likely, since the full moon is rising on that day..." "Alright!" exclaimed Aido happily, cutting Zero off before he could continue.

"Aido, you're bothering the Disciplinary Committee." said a velvet voice. They both turned to see Kaname, and the rest of the inner circle standing there, waiting or expecting his presence?

"It's fine, It doesn't really bother me that much..." mumbled Zero. Kaname titled his head slightly playfully. "If you don't have a dance partner for the ball Zero, I would gladly volunteer." said the Pureblood.

Zero immediately brought a hand over his face to cover the light pink blush rising to his cheeks. "Y-you...shameless, I-!" started Zero, before the grand doors opened and a hand landed on his shoulder.

"*Huff* *huff* Zero...help I think, I've reached my limit..." begged Yuki in between breaths, before straightening herself, greeted the Night class students and Kaname, before dragging Zero out of the building. Not noticing Kaname's chuckling lightly at the sight of Zero's ears lightly dusted pink, but ignored it as he walked to the front of the group to lead them to their classes.

Later that night at the Headmaster's office...

"Ah...it's finally good to see Zero back in school and Mochi playing happily with Night class, it really brings tears to a father's eyes," said Kaien happily, as he brought a handkerchief to wipe away a fake tear.

"Yeah and thanks to Mochi, she seems to bring Zero and the Night class together closer together unconsciously, even Kaname-senpai seems to be...um..." before she could continue Yuk'si face starts to blush a deep red. "closer to Zero...more than ever." she finished with a smile, as she looked Kaien in the eyes while he nodded in agreement. Before he placed a hand on top of a file. "In any case, I have a request for you. To show a transfer student around," said Kaien, going back in a serious tone.

Yuki tilted her head in confusion. "A new transfer student?"

Kaien picked up the file and opened it and looked inside the file. "Yes, she was scheduled to start earlier, but she has a weak condition and she was resting at her villa, deep in the mountains," Kaien explained, before hearing a knock on his door.

"Oh, I think she's ready," Kaien stated, looking up at the door while Yuki glanced over her shoulder. "Come in," said Kaien, the door opened and a girl with lavender coloured hair and eyes walked in, wearing a Night class uniform, peeked her head inside the room curiously.

"Um...Good evening." She said, standing up straight while Yuki turned towards her fully. "Kurenai-san, this is my daughter, Yuki." Kaien introduced. Yuki then soon realized that she was being rude by staring at the new student, she quickly bowed. "Oh, um, nice to meet you."

The Kurenai-san's eyes widened innocently and put a hand over her mouth before a gentle smile graced upon her feathers. "You look delicious, so healthy..."

Kaien immediately ran towards the student's side and scolded her in a childish way. "Now listen here Maria Kurenai-san! That is a taboo in this Academy!"

"Oh..." Maria gasped childishly at Kaien, while Yuki sweat-dropped.

Maria turned back to Yuki with a sweet smile on her face. "I'm terribly sorry. Nice to meet you too Yuki-san. My name is Maria Kurenai, I am in your care." Yuki smiled back at Maria in a friendly manner.

But without noticing, Kaien watched the duo with a frown on his face. As Yuki made gestures as to where everything in the Academy was to Maria as she continued to talk on their way out of the office.
