Disclaimer: I own nothing of Vampire Knight. This ingenious work of art belongs to Matsuri Hino.
A/N: This originally started as a one-shot but to sufficiently cover the plot, I needed to add more information and thus, the story was drawn out. The characters are a little OOC but I believe it is with good reason. As the story progresses it comes to light as to why they are so. If you still don't understand at the end of it all, let me know and if enough people don't understand, I will post an author's note at the end. Some of the original details from VK are changed here, just for the purposes of fitting into my plot. Please enjoy. All reviews are appreciated.
Prologue
In the middle of the campus, soft cries sliced through the lavish room, shattering the peaceful tranquility. Moonlight caressed damp skin as it peaked through the heavy curtains in gentle rays. The body on the bed twisted and arched as hands gripped crimson silk sheets, fingers turning white in tension. Tears slowly leaked from clenched eyes, disappearing into dark tousled hair. Teeth dug into a full bottom lip, drawing blood, as they subconsciously tired to stifle their cries. The smell of blood, fear and despair permeated the night air as the cries increased in volume. Rosewood eyes flew open, a bottomless void of loneliness, despair, and pain. The tears streamed faster as they hunched over their knees, long graceful fingers grasping dark hair tightly.
"Damn it," the person groaned.
An incessant knock on the door startled the figure as their head whipped toward the doorway, "Kaname-sama? Are you ok?"
Kaname knew that the others must have smelt his desperation as well as the small amount of blood that he now tasted on his lips. He couldn't face the others, not when he felt so raw and vulnerable. Without a backward glance, he bolted from the bed and out the window unaware of his lack of suitable clothing. He hoped they had enough sense not to follow him… But he doubted it.
With the speed of a pureblood, Kaname arrived deep in the forest of Cross Academy within seconds, the steady line of trees opening to reveal a small clearing. The moon shone brilliantly on the surface of the lake as the water lapped lazily at the shore. A gently breeze flitted through the trees and tangled in Kaname's hair.
With a hoarse cry, Kaname collapsed to his knees, arms clutched around his middle as if in an attempt to hold together his unraveling sanity. His liquid sadness continued to cascade down his elegant face. He took no note of the cool breeze that brushed across his naked upper torso nor the damp ground that pressed against his knees through the thin night pants he wore. All his attention was focused on trying to reign in the maddening anguish that threatened to undo him completely.
"Oh God!" he cried out softly.
So caught up in his own misery, he failed to notice he wasn't alone before it was too late, a hard hate-filled voice pierced the clearing, "Kuran!"

A/N: Sorry it's short. Like I said before, this started as a one-shot. Any reviews are accepted. Thank you!
