Hello everyone, I believe I may post three more chapters before stopping and will consider to continue the series as it's own Fanfic.
Chapter 3
FLASHBACK, A FEW YEARS AGO
"So, this was the extent of your abilities so far...I'm impressed." Spoke a female who stood over a 13-year-old Naruto who was battered and bruised with blood leaking from his mouth, despite his wounds he was calm, only able to look up at the hooded woman.
"I didn't know, their were others out there that were this strong..." Muttered the blond who caused her to smile more before turning away.
"Of course, Purebloods are nothing compared to me...as well as you." Upon hearing that, Naruto sat up as he was about to spoke but froze as he found the woman's fingertips held at his throat.
"We'll meet again...—." When he heard that, his eyes widen all the way in shock, as well as confusion yet, didn't say anything as she pulls her hand away and just walks in the opposite direction from him, with only a few seconds passing he just stares at her back before falling backward where he lays on the ground.
DREAM/END
Upon the dream ending, the ocean-blue eyes start to open to see that the sun was rising. With a sign, he gets out of bed to reveal a scar across his very chest which he touches.
"The Hougetsu Jigen-Tou...I wonder, am I strong enough to face her now?" As he asked himself that, he recalled the aura she gave off yet as he thought about it now, he seemed hardly bothered by it before standing up and grabbing a nearby shirt to put on but as he did so, his gaze glances at the weapon in his room, within a case of talismans, was a sheathed Katana that seemed to be pulsing as it shook a little as it was restrained by the chains as well as it was kept shut by a single talisman, while staring at it, he felt it once again...an unquenchable thirst that caused him to place his left hand on his face.
"(Sigh)..." Was all that left his mouth as he then finishes getting dressed. After a few seconds, he approaches the door just as he heard a conversation being made.
"It sucks, you know its obvious that we won't get chocolates on St. Xocolatl's Day..." Upon hearing that, the blonde's eyes widen when he thought of Ruka yet shakes his head as the footsteps pass by his door.
"She isn't the type to like these kind of events, giving her a chocolate will just annoy her." Thought Cross who proceeded to open up his door but before walking out he turns to look at a photo of a red-haired woman who held a sleeping blonde-haired baby. With a smile, the fellow blonde exited his room just as other students passed him while he follows after them.
FEW HOURS LATER, AT THE HEADMASTERS OFFICE
"Well now, tomorrow is St. Xocolatl's Day. The entire school is buzzing with excitement. Something might happen to reveal the truth about the Night Class. I need you three to be more alert than usual, that understood Guardians?" Questioned the Headmaster who was staring at the three under his care.
"Yes, Headmaster!" The normally cheerfully but currently serious Yuki said while Zero looks away with annoyance.
"You should just Ban this event." When Naruto heard that, he turned towards Zero like he's lost his damn mind.
"Hey you Silver-Haired Emo, don't you remember what happened last year with the Fan girl riot outside the Guys dorm?!" Demanded the blonde who watched Zero look away with annoyance before he realized something and glares at Naruto.
"For the last time, I'm not emo you blond idiot!" Shouted the Vampire Hunter, causing the two too glare at each other with Yuki just sighing loudly.
"Now Zero, if I were too do that, there would be a riot. Besides, we're still dealing with what happened last year. We still haven't found out which student threw a brick through my window which destroyed my fine china collection." After saying that, he stands up to walk towards his window as he continued too speak.
"I know all too well that Vampires have been the enemies of humans just like any other monsters and Yōkai. But there are those who desire a peaceful coexistence, even those that have killed humans can one day regret their actions and want to atone. I'm proud that we're educating the children of such vampires. Your generation will be the one to build the bridge between humans and all other species. Zero look, I know it's difficult...but someday you will come to understand my philosophy." It was when that was said that both Naruto and Yuki look at Zero who turns away from them.
"I doubt it, my parents may start to come around to what your saying but I'm suddenly. Not unless you can make the past disappear." Naruto just looks away from Zero as he knew exactly why he's acting like this and it involves a single person.
"They are nothing more than beasts in human form, who drink the blood from living humans. That's your view?" With that question, Zero doesn't say anything but stares at his feet just before Yuki recalled something and gained Naruto's attention at seeing her go into her pocket. Once done she gets on Cross's desk, on her knees to offer something to him, coupons
"Here, Headma... Dad! A St. Xocolatl's Day present!" Yuki told her adopted father who appeared surprised as he takes and immediately Yuki gets off his desk and turns to Zero.
"And you Zero, my annual gift, too." She told her friend who takes the single coupon and before she moves onto Naruto, she becomes embarrassed.
"YIPPE! It's 20 tickets for Yuki's shoulder massages!" Celebrated the father who was moving around happily unlike Zero who was just staring at the single coupon.
"An errand ticket, good for one time. You realize you've given me the same gift every year, since Gradeschool, right?" His question caught her off guard and she angrily looks at Zero with embarrassment.
"Oh shut it!" She told the Silver haired one before she moved onto Naruto who was sweat dropping while watching his father acting goofy, while distracted Yuki was about to say something as her hand goes into her pocket where Naruto's gift was, and after a few seconds, she was about to speak until the Headmaster spoke up.
"Oh yes, that reminds me. Yuki, Zero, could you two leave I need to have a word with Naruto." When he said that, the three blink in surprise by the sudden question.
"Whatever, let's go Yuki, lunch is almost over." Zero told the fellow Guardian while he walks toward the door and she just turns to Naruto stepping forward to stand in front of her which she just looks down at it being not the right time and immediately she follows after Zero out the door, yet her adopted father had easily noticed her expressions, knowing that it's becoming more and more obvious...and with it, he knew it would cause problems.
"So what is it you wanted to talk to me about, Dad?" Just after he asked that the man showed a serious expression and with that expression, he took out a form. Upon spotting it, Naruto's eyes widen and he takes it.
"Tenmei Mikogami, you recall he was at your tenth Birthday, correct. He's the Headmaster of Yōkai Academy, an all monster school." After saying that, he took out a file that he hands over to Naruto who opens it and blinks in surprise before his eyes slowly widen.
"Dad, this file..." He stops to see the man take off his glasses when staring at his son.
"—." When he heard that, slowly the blonde's eyes widen all the way in shock at what he was told.
LATER THAT VERY DAY, SUNDOWN AT THE GATES
"She really shouldn't stand up there." Thought the blonde Disciplinary committee member who was watching Yuki stand atop the gate structure, blowing her whistle loudly to all the girls.
"The exchange of chocolates can only be given on the specified day!" She told everyone loudly yet one idiot girl was being lifted on another girl's shoulders as she held a box of chocolate, confusing Naruto at what she was trying to accomplish.
"You over there, no climbing the wall!" Yuki shouted at the girl, gaining her attention just before they lost balance and caused her too start to fall, seeing this the two Cross's eyes only widen and before they could react she was thankfully caught by the a rather annoyed Zero.
"Zero, good job!" Shouted basically the leader of the Disciplinary Committee while Naruto just grumbles, muttering how he could have done it, that was until the points Zero has gained were immediately lost the moment he spoke with a menacing glare to all the girls, scaring even the one he saved.
"If anyone breaks the rules, this event may be cancelled." Upon hearing that, he gained much disagreement from the girls who became annoyed as they voiced their displeasure before Naruto cuts in, walking towards them.
"Emo's right, last year when the event was postponed, you girls began a riot and one of you threw a brick through my dads window." As he said it, his eyes narrowed as he could see they all looked uncomfortable as they too recalled someone throwing a brick through the window where loud crashes were heard and a very girlish scream coming from the Headmaster. That all ends when they all heard the doors slowly open, gaining their attention and immediately the girls gather around as the Night Class was walking out. It was after Yuki gets down, Naruto was muttering an idea.
"I wonder if we should install an electric fence?" The moment that left his lips, he was hit in the back of the head with a fist, curtesy of Yuki who gained a loud 'OW' from the blonde before he glares at the one who simply crosses her arms and looks away. Yet he stops what he was doing the moment he saw Ruka and immediately brightens up, gaining Yuki's attention to see Ruka was passing by him yet again he was met with being ignored, gaining a sigh from the blonde while Yuki just looks away and watching this whole thing was Kaname who was glancing over towards them unlike Zero who was the one dealing with the fan girls, not bothering to look. In the end, Kuran did something surprising and just before he stopped his eyes had narrowed. Once stopped he simply directs his at the blonde haired Disciplinary Committee member, while this went on, the other Night Class students had also stopped what they were doing to turn to see what was happening and that was Kuran approaching Naruto, more surprisingly was that Naruto did the same with a friendly smile just as Zero turns with a serous expression to see what was happening.
The two simply stop in front of each other with Kaname going first.
"Good morning Cross, if you wouldn't mind I would like to speak with you in private later today." When Naruto heard that, the smile vanished as Naruto spoke without a care, and with it his very own tone changed.
"I see that Aido hasn't been given a more harsh punishment for what he did." Cross said with his gaze transferring over to Aido for a split second.
"I made sure to remind him of th—" The Kuran couldn't even finish as he was immediately cut off by his name being said.
"Kaname..." Upon hearing his name, the vampire stops to see that Naruto was not having it while having his right hand on the hilt of his wooden sword.
"All I can say is this, I suggest you act your rank and do your damn job. If this happens again, I don't think I will stay my hand." The moment he gave that warning, he caught the Night Class students off guard at the sudden shift from his normal happy demeanor which set them off just like Yuki and Zero who's eyes were wide at Naruto while Kaname just smiles.
"I'll keep that in mind, Disciplinary Committee..." With that said, he just turns and begins walking away from Naruto who just stares at his back, earning a glare from Aido yet Naruto simply ignores it all as he turns around, walking away from the whole class.
"Wait Naruto, but we're not done yet!" Yuki shouted yet the blonde simply turns to look at her with a smile.
"Sorry Yuki, but I won't be working tonight so have the Emo take over my routine as well." Was all he had said before turning away, worrying Yuki unlike Zero who recognized that demeanor and tone, it wasn't as cold as that day but it was close.
