"I'm going to make him mine."
She was a tall and beautiful aristocrat with pale skin, light blue eyes and jet black hair that reached to her waist. It was now the beautiful afternoon and the birds were chirping. Humans would call it their beautiful afternoon, but to vampires such as herself, she liked to call it her beautiful morning. She wore a white long gown that reached just above her knees and she had just finished combing her hair. She walked over to her tea table that was placed next to the window in her dorm. As she sat down, she gently shook her head to the side to allow her hair to fall onto her shoulder. She gently ran her fingers to bring the rest of her hair down her shoulder. Gently, she ran her fingers down her hair and again combed them through gently.
Her maid dressed in the basic black and white maid dress walked over to her. She was a young and beautiful maid, the same age as her. Her maid had bright pink hair put into a low messy bun and had beautiful matching magenta eyes. She brought a cup of tea in her hands and placed it gently in front of the aristocrat. "Kamiya-sama."
The aristocrat looked up at her with her blue eyes and smiled. "Thank you, Cherry-san."
Her maid Cherry is a common vampire, a level C. She was born to a human mother and a lower blood aristocrat father. Her father also had a human parent. If not known by most of the vampire community already, many vampires would say Cherry is almost as beautiful as an aristocrat. Cherry, originally from the Izumi Clan, was given to the Kamiya clan when her human mother passed away. She was to come work as Kamiya Nova's servant as their clans once shared the same ancestor. Before Cherry's mother's death, Cherry lived on the farmlands with her human mother and vampire father.
Kamiya watched as her maid bowed and then walked away from her. Once she had disappeared from sight, Kamiya moved her head to the window. Her eyes searched. She looked across the fields to the girls dorms to the boy's dorms, to the classes to the….. ah! Her eyes lit up.
In the grass near the horse barn, there he was. Away from the sun, he hid under the trees and had a book cover his face. His arms rested under his head and was used like a pillow. Bet was, his eyes were probably closed. Kamiya brought her cup of tea to her lips. She closed her eyes, revealing her long lashes, and then let out a chuckle.
It had not been too long ago when she found out that Zero, the vampire hunter, was in love with their pure blood princess. He was the infamous vampire hunter that hated vampires so much yet out of everyone he could be in love with, he was in love with their pure blood princess. A Kuran out of all. It was so amusing.
Kamiya set the remaining of her tea on the table and then stood up to walk in front of her mirror. She brushed her fingers down her hair that she had pulled down her shoulder. Pushing some hair behind her ear, she looked at herself and then smiled.
'How pretty,' she thought to herself.
Zero Kiryu is the guardian of Cross Academy. He keeps the day class from the night class. Likewise, he must also keep the night class from the day class, because here's a secret….. The night class, they're all vampires. According to Zero, they are all blood thirsty suckers and they are all monsters. So, no one must cross over to the other side without a guardian nearby. It's almost like Romeo and Juliet, especially if one person was stuck in the day class and they were in love with someone in the night class. Right? But… the only vampire that ever crosses over to the day class side is mainly just Idol san. Idol-san has no respect for boundaries.
Although this academy was created to help the vampires and humans build a relationship with each other, Zero, this 'guardian' is what they call him, is very intent on keeping the vampires from the humans. Ah, and yes…Another thing. He is a vampire hunter. What's more? He is a vampire hunter in love with the vampire race's pure blooded princess. A creature that has nothing but the blood of a vampire in them. Whose blood has never been tinted by a human before. A creature that is considered royalty and almost like a god by the vampire race. She is the vampire princess. The Kuran Princess. But most of all, a vampire hunter who hates all vampires and would do anything to kill every last one of them, loves her.
Rumour also has it that this princess once lived as a human. No one knows why, but apparently it happened. That's why she is also so strange from the rest of them purebloods. Unlike other purebloods, she acts almost like a human. Always full of emotions.
But ah, how did Kamiya find out about this cursed love? How did she fall in love with this vampire hunter?
Kamiya Nova's father is a traveling businessman. He travels country to country and is often on business trips. Her mother, Kamiya Rosa, is a well-known model and actress. She, Kamiya Nova, is the daughter of both Kamiya Rosa and Kamiya Matthews. They are of the Kamiya clan and both parents are well-known aristocrats. A well-known model and actress and a businessman known for his dashing looks.
Now that the Kuran Princess has been announced to have always existed, beautiful as she is also, the Kamiya parents felt obligated to show their support to the Kuran family.
Now what was the name of this academy? ….ah, yes. Cross Academy. This was the academy the Kuran Prince attended. In addition, even when the Kuran princess was hidden, she has and was always attending this academy. Knowing now the existence of the Kuran Princess and that she has come back to attend this same school, they pushed their own daughter, Kamiya Nova to attend as well. Why, this would provide the perfect opportunity to get close to that Kurans, wouldn't it?
The first day of Cross Academy
"It's much smaller than we had expected, isn't it Kamiya-sama?"
Kamiya and her maid Cherry were dressed in their white day class uniform. Cherry, to her own surprise, was surprised she could attend the academy. Not just as someone who would follow her master, but alongside Kamiya, she could attend the academy as a student. That means, Cherry would no longer just be Kamiya's maid, but her classmate and possibly her friend also. Cherry wore her hair in two low pigtails and her bangs were swept to the right side of her face, covering her forehead. Nova wore her long hair down. She had natural waves at the ends of her hair and wore the majority of her hair pushed to one side down her shoulder, and on the other side of her hair was decorated with a silver hair clip.. They were now in front of Cross Academy. Nova gazed at the building that supposedly holds the night class.
"So this is the academy the Kuran siblings attended?"
Cherry looked at her master and nodded her head. "Yes. Your mother said the Kuran Prince is no longer attending and originally the princess was sealed away into her home for some time. But just recently, she has come out again and is now attending the academy again. But before all that happened, even when she lived as a human, she also attended this academy. However… these are just rumours."
Nova stared intently at the night building. Even as a human… she attended.
"Ahh! If it isn't Kamiya-san! ...and Cherry!"
Nova turned around and saw a young man a couple years older than her. He had bright icy blue eyes and light blonde messy hair. He was tall and handsome. His name was Hanabusa Aidou or what she would later know, 'Idol.' The Hanabusa clan was close to the Kuran family.
"Hanabusa-senpai." She bowed her head. He was her senior. He was also someone who is incredibly close and loyal to the Kuran Prince as well as the Kuran Princess herself. Or that was what she was told. From the looks of it, it seemed true. Because behind him, it smelled a pureblood. She tilted her head to see if she could get a better look of the pureblood's face.
"Interested?" Aidou smiled politely.
Kamiya looked at Aidou in surprise.
"Kamiya-san, by the way," he continued, ignoring her. "I want to thank you for expressing your interest in attending Cross Academy. The Kuran family is highly appreciative of your family's continuous efforts of always being so supportive of Kuran-sama's ideals. Following that, I would also like you to meet someone." and then he stepped aside. Before he revealed who he was going to reveal, Aidou gave a deep bow just as he stepped aside. Behind him was a woman. The Kuran Princess. The pure blood princess.
Cherry quickly gasped and immediately bowed her head. Nova gazed at the woman in front of her, from head to toe. The Kuran Princess. The pure blood princess of the Kuran family. The hidden daughter and fiance of Kaname Kuran….. Nova never got to meet any of the Kurans but she was always told by others of their unmatched beauty. Now in front of her was a Kuran. The woman in front of her had long brown hair that reached down to her waist and dark deep brown eyes. Her skin was pale and like Nova herself, she was also dressed in the white day class uniform. She smiled sweetly at Nova . "My name is Yuki," she smiled. She placed her hand gently on her chest as she introduced herself. "Thank you for attending Cross Academy... and for always supporting Kaname-sama."
Nova bowed her head at the woman. Nova then stepped aside as both Yuki and Aidou walked past her. Her gaze followed them until they turned the corner and disappeared into the walls that lead to the gates of the academy. "Kuran Yuki. Is that what her name is?" she mumbled.
From a distance, a man with lavender eyes was also watching the same group. He stood by the window in one of the day class buildings that was located on the other side of the campus. His eyes were emotionless.
Behind him, a man with ash blond hair approached him. He wore thick circle glasses and his ash blond hair was long and tied into a low ponytail. "Zero, the first day will be starting soon. Will you be attending class?"
Zero turned away from the window. He paused, then he was quiet. He chose to not answer the man's question and avoided turning to him. The man looked at Zero and sadly let out a sigh. As he watched Zero turn his back to him and walk away, many sad memories flashed by in his head.
Back on the other side of the campus, Cherry was taking out Kamiya's clothes in their new dorms. They were both assigned to be dorm mates. "Kamiya-sama," Cherry said cheerfully. "Isn't this exciting? We'll be attending the same class and will also be classmates!"
Previously, although Cherry is Nova's maid, Cherry was often separated from Nova. Prior to coming to the academy, Kamiya was home-schooled in her mansion. She was surrounded by her teachers and would typically not be done with her sessions until the end of the day. Cherry would never see her unless it was at the end of the day when it was already dark, or early in the morning when Kamiya was only first waking up. Before the harsh learning sessions though, Cherry was always with Kamiya and they were both incredibly close. Almost like sisters. To Cherry, Kamiya is the most important person to her, next to her own mother. To be able to be by her side like this once more, able to be more than just a servant to her, it made Cherry incredibly happy.
Kamiya looked at Cherry from across the room. She was putting her own clothes away as well. "Cherry-sama," she said in a joking voice. "Now that we're not at the mansion anymore, you can just call me Nova as you should."
Cherry blushed pink cheeks. She quickly shook her head. "Never!" she exclaimed. She hugged her hands to her chest and clenched her hands tightly into fists. "That would be the most ultimate w-worst and it would be so incredibly d-d-disrespectful to you and your mother and father, especially because of everything you have done for u-us! I would rather die and roll myself into the mountains and the forest and carry the woods back and forth to and from my farmland to the forest until the day of my death than to show my disrespect and unappreciation…. (continues blabbing)" She was already forming tears in her eyes and Nova looked at her and suddenly burst out into laughter. Cherry immediately stopped and she stared at her master. Nova shook her head, trying to contain her laughter. She covered her one hand to her mouth to hide any more laughter, but her shoulders were still shaking as she tried to stop herself from laughing any more.
"Then please, just lose the -sama. It's too much." she tried.
Cherry blinked. "N-Never!" Cherry exclaimed once again. "That would be the u-ultimate worst and it would be so incredibly d-d-disrespectful especially to both you and your mothe-
"But Cherry-samaaaa," Nova whined. She faked tears and rubbed her fake tears away like a baby. "I don't want tooo! I want to get rid of the -samaaa….!" She shook her shoulders side to side and whined like a child.
Cherry blushed pink again. She shook her head furiously. Then she stopped. Then she looked up and looked Nova straight in her eyes. Then she paused. Gasppppp. Nova, she had the most beautiful blue. Then she bit her lip and shut her eyes again, to focus ever more so instead on her speech she had already begun to prepare in her head. She bit her lip harder and deeper more so she could control her emotions. Then she began. She opened her eyes and locked Nova deeply into the pupils of her eyes. Cherry bit her lip once more and then stood straight up like a soldier. "I must not lose my way of language that would show my utmost respect to you, Kamiya-sama! But if it is too much of a burden to you, and it will definitely ease your pain, I will lose the sama and I will call you Kamiya-san instead…!" Then, she bowed deeply.
Nova grinned. "I would like that, Cherry-san."
Still with her head bowed down, Cherry again allowed herself to blush into pink cheeks. How she wished she could express to Nova her love she had for her. To her, Nova was the most beautiful and kind-hearted person to her, next to her own mother. She would do anything for Nova!
"Cherry-san, you may raise your head now," Nova called.
Cherry nodded her head and then raised her to Nova at once, to show yes, the deed is done. Then she continued back to folding the rest of Nova's clothes.
After finishing putting all their stuff away, Nova looked over at Cherry. Cherry was on the other side of their room, completely knocked out, and laying like a star fish on her bed. She had knocked out, out of exhaustion after putting all of their stuff away. Both Nova's and her own. Nova had tried telling her no, said she could put her own stuff away, but Cherry insisted as she still saw herself as Nova's maid. Nova smiled and stood up from her bed and walked over to Cherry on her side. She looked at the petite woman and smiled. Cherry was still in her night class school uniform. Nova chuckled to herself and then reached over to a blanket that was dangling on the other side of Cherry's bed. She pulled the blanket over Cherry's shoulder and tucked her in. Nova glanced at the window. She squinted her eyes as she felt the brightness of the sun. It was bright. Getting too bright. Meaning, classes will soon be starting for the day class. Nova closed the blinds near Cherry's bed and then turned around to Cherry to look at her one last time. She smiled, and then walked away and left the room.
Nova pat herself to get rid of the dust that had fallen on her uniform. She was going to take a walk around the academy. With the sun out, she would need some protection. She pulled out a white umbrella decorated with pretty white lace and popped it open. Looking to leave the dorm area, Nova searched for the fence that would lead her to the dorm garden. Her eyes searched the area but she only saw the humans from the day class. They were located on the other side of the gate that separates the night class and the day class. Part of the gate was fenced and could be seen through, but the rest of the gate was a great thick and high wall made of stone bricks. It was built to seperate the night class and the day class, and nobody would be able to climb over it unless with the help of maybe four or five people. But still, Nova still hears that many day students, often the human females, still try. However as today was the first day, Nova did not hear anyone trying to climb over the wall. She could only hear the human students chat as they got ready to leave their dorms for their day classes. Nova searched again for the fence to the dorm garden. …..Ah. there it was. It was a pretty gate decorated and painted black. Green vines was decorated on the top of the gate that perfectly gave it a secretive but still beautiful look. Nova smiled. She hugged her umbrella to cover her from the shield of the sun and took a step towards the direction of the gate.
"What are you doing?"
Nova paused. The voice was coming from behind her. She looked over her shoulder and saw a day time student. It was a male human. He was a short human. From this distance, he also looked he would be a couple inches shorter than herself. He wore the day class black school uniform and wore thick round glasses. His glasses were so thick you couldn't see past the lenses and see his eyes. He had dark messy brown hair that he tried to comb to the side to look neat. He looked at her as he stood behind the fence that separates the day class from the night class. He had his hands to his hips and was frowning intensely at her. It seemed this was his first time seeing a student from the night class. Nova turned her body fully to him and slightly bowed her head. He blinked rapidly. She lifted her head and looked at the man, eye to eye, then she smiled. She turned away from him, and continued proceeding walking to her earlier destination. Although she ignored his question, still… "Woowwww….!." he sung. He was almost squealing. Bright red rose to his cheeks. "S-so pretty..!" he almost gasped. He felt.. He felt he had just saw an angel! She was beautiful… like an angel! How could such a creature like her exist? She looked… she looked like a mystical creature! Her beauty… it was out of this world! No. to be more accurate. She looked, she looked l-like a….. fairy! Suddenly a female voice suddenly shouted. "KYAAAAHHH! What are you doing here you crazy pervert?! Don't you know this is the girl's dorms?!" Girls suddenly screamed all over the place and the only voice left from the man was his shrieks as he tried to escape from his death and the many items that was being thrown at him. He had accidentally walked into the location of the girl's dorms.
Nova walked towards the garden gate and pushed it open. It was… beautiful.
Although it was small and not quite like what she had at her own mansion, it was filled with many beautiful garden flowers. From roses, to irises, to daisies, to peonies. There was also a white, yellow, and blue flower bed, and from above, hung a tree that blossomed beautiful dangling purple flowers from its branches. Nova walked over to the tree and gently kissed her hand to each lavender flower. She adored the scent of flower gardens. It would often take her back to when she was younger, and more free. She closed her eyes as she allowed herself to melt into the scent of these flowers.
There was a odd smell. It wasn't just flowers she was smelling. Nova opened her eyes immediately and went quiet. She looked around the garden and then saw a garden shed. It smelled of… something she had not smelled before.
Nova walked over to the garden shed, quietly as she could. She did not want to be heard. Carefully, she approached the door. The smell, it was getting stronger. She turned the door knob open and as carefully and quietly as she could, she pushed the door open. Her eyes widened. On the floor was blood tablets. Someone was here…? She tilted her head and then her eyes searched the shed. It was a garden shed filled with tools for gardening… but.. Nova walked quietly. In the shed, there was another room in the shed. The glass of the windows and doors were tinted so it could not be seen from the outside. She heard mufflings, and then it gasp. She froze. She knew this smell. This was the smell of…
She approached the room and swung open the door. Her eyes grew wide.
Flashback ...
"Kamiya-san, by the way," Aidou continued, ignoring her surprised expression. "I want to thank you for expressing your interest in attending Cross Academy. The Kuran family is highly appreciative of your family's continuous efforts of always being so supportive of Kuran-sama's ideals. Following that, I would also like you to meet someone." Nova looked at Aidou intently and patiently and then watched as he stepped aside. Before he revealed who he was going to reveal, Aidou gave a deep bow just as he stepped aside. Behind him was a woman. The Kuran Princess. The pure blood princess.
Nova never got to meet any of the Kurans before but she was always told by others of their unmatched beauty. Now in front of her was a Kuran. Indeed, what she was told was true. She was indeed beautiful. She looked to Nova and smiled sweetly . "My name is Kuran Yuki." She placed her hand gently on her chest as she introduced herself. "Thank you for attending Cross Academy... and for always supporting Kaname-sama."
Nova bowed her head at the woman. Nova then stepped aside as both Yuki and Aidou walked past her. Her gaze followed them until they turned the corner and disappeared into the walls that lead to the gates of the academy. "Kuran Yuki. Is that what her name is?" she mumbled.
End of flashback
She looked at Nova with wide crimson eyes. Blood. Blood dripped from her lips and dripped down from her chin. But this was not what Nova was looking at. His silver hair was covered in sweat, his white shirt was exposed, showing his chest, and his collar was pulled down to expose his neck that was now bitten and dripping with blood. Yuki Kuran, the pure blood princess, was now engaging in what the vampire race would call an act of intimacy between two vampires with a man that is not her fiance. Lying by this man's feet was spilled blood tablets.
