AN: Well... hello again my lovelies... now I know that I have been MIA for nearly a month but between finishing my university entrance exams and my anxiety filled wait for results day AND preparing for a 6-week return to my country of ethnic origins to see my family again after 6-7 years, I could say that it has been quite hectic. Here I am now and be prepared for regular updates, I will be taking my laptop back there and will continue on writing as it is my favourite thing to do. I would like to remind everyone that this story will follow the canon storyline, only when it suits it but it would probably seem different to the original plot at most times.

Warning: un-beta-ed story, and lots and lots of adjectives :)

CHAPTER 3

Emmy's POV: Cross Academy

"Wake up. Shorty! Wake up! We have arrived at Cross Academy," Hana shouted animatedly. I decided to ignore him, and stretched my arms and proceeded in getting out of the car.

In front of me stood a magnificent building. Pearl grey bricks structured over each other in such a way that made the building both happy yet strict. There I go again, personifying anything that exists. I knew from the brochure that this was only the main building, which is a part of a huge campus. I felt excited, I knew that this would be my new beginning. Of course, as the Aidou family representative, I would have to go to the chairman's office and register both myself and my brother.

"Hana, you go up ahead, I have some business to get to," I ordered. I never liked to order people around, but knowing Hana, I knew I had to.

"Okay! Make sure you don't get attacked by wolves, although we both know I always get what I want" he smirked. If only I did disappear for a while, who would clean your laundry and force you to be hygienic, then?

"Yeah right, we both know you would be finding maggots and lice in your hair if that were to happen," I retorted. The walk up to the chairman's office was long but there were plenty of different flower gardens around, so I was fine. The gardens, they truly were magnificent as there were as several different species of plants. There were roses of all colours, hydrangeas, and my favourite of all was the orchid garden. I have always loved orchids, there was something nostalgic about them. I had finally made it to chairman's place. I knocked on the burgundy door and waited.

"Come in please," came a cheery voice. Finally, I get to meet the former vampire hunter who decided to propose the idea of pacifism. I was most definitely excited, this was someone I looked up to from a young age. He was the man who had the same ideas of love and coexisting as I did. I went in to find a middle aged man with ash blonde hair with hazel eyes. He had a huge grin on his face and sported a pair of prescription glasses.

"Good evening, I am here to register both Hanabusa and Emmy Aidou," I bowed politely.

"Aidou-chan! Please come in! My adorable night class student! Would you like some tea? I should get you some biscuits too! Oh! This is such a precious, precious moment!" was the reply. To say I was shocked was an understatement, but dear God was he adorable! He seemed like he wanted to be my best friend, and who was I to refuse my role model?

"Please call me Emmy, and I would love some tea. No matter how weird this sounds, I hope we can become the best of friends," I rambled happily. He looked surprised for a second, but soon resumed his cheerful persona and started to mumble about his 'precious night class student'. As the night got older, I found that it was time for me to go. I gave my farewell to Kaien and left his office. While tracing back the steps that brought me here, I decided to stop at the water fountain.

Stars scattered around the dark skies, calm, still and collected as if they were waiting for the perfect moment to just strike the people inhabiting this Earth. That was the difference between me and the stars, they could wait, patiently waiting for the opportune moment to express themselves to the world. I, on the other hand, would always make random decisions without giving too much thought to it. My narration of this world reflects it, I decide the purpose of certain situations with no legitimate basis. All I could do is making sure if my decision follows my mantra; love, help and accept.

Omniscient POV: School Gates

The hoard of adolescent school girls was leaving no room for any air particles to move about freely, they were everywhere, behind the trees, in the trees, and some were just blatantly climbing over the fence, trying to get to their beloved night class students. A petite brunette holding a whistle was running around, begging the girls to cease their incessant behaviour. Prefect badge falling down every time she would shout for someone to stop climbing over, afraid that they would get hurt.

Suddenly the gates open and all her pleas are heard, the frantic students had formed two uniform lines where all were in the same position, cladded with faraway eyes and clasped hands as if they were asking God to gift them the young vampires. A blond young man stood alongside an enchantingly beautiful brunette, both of them staying near each other, ready to protect the other. The blond man being the most flamboyant of the group began to strut the way to his lessons, flirting with anything that resembled the female human anatomy. The pretty brunette and a fiery man trailing behind him, sighing at his flirtatious behaviour.

Emmy's POV: Cross Academy

This was so typical of my Hana, instead of just walking to class like a normal person he decided it would be fun to start flirting with anything that two mountains on top and a valley between its legs. His Casanova ways were starting to worry me, really worry me. I suddenly felt a sting on my arm, however no matter my curiosity I had to quickly get to class otherwise my empath powers would start to act up again. As I was making my way to class I found that my powers were still not used to this new environment and therefore decided to bunk and go to the chairman's office instead. Kaien-sama was way more fun anyway, who did not love a lively hunter?

I had made it to Kaien's office after finding a way to sneak away craftily. I was very adept at escaping places I did not like, it was one of the things I was good at, running away. I mean I did fight sometimes, but I had soon realised a long time ago that fighting was a pain in the ass and that the only thing worth the stress was my dear flower. I knocked on the door asking for entrance. I heard a mumbled come in and opened the door only to find him grilling a whole fish on a makeshift barbeque.

I had to admit that it looked delicious and that I was hungry, I must have voiced my thought out loud because the next thing I knew was that he ushered me to a chair adjacent to his desk and handed me half of the fish skewered on a bamboo stick. "What is my adorable student doing here doing lesson time,"? he cooed, which would have been endearing had it not been for that warning glint in his eyes, waiting for the excuse I would give for skipping. I laid the fish down on his desk ready to answer.

There was a knock on the door, and in came a young man. His aura is was something that I would never forget till the end of times. At first, it was numb, it did not feel like anything, then slowly as he walked in, something hit me like a nuclear bomb. I felt like I was dying, there were tears in my eyes, and I could feel the pain rolling off him in waves. Then it changed completely and when I thought I finally got a break from the torturous aura, a hatred like no other stabbed me right in the heart, and it was directed all towards me.

"What is that bloodsucker doing here?" barked the amethyst-eyed man. I had not realised that I was doubled over in pain until I opened my eyes and saw nothing but the floor. I hated this, all my other siblings received the ability to manipulate ice and I was stuck with being an empath. That meant that I could feel and understand someone's mood and feelings, and being a firm believer in freedom of thought, I would never allow myself to change another being's emotions, even if I could, which I could. Never.

"Emmy-chan! Are you alright?" Kaien asked. I managed to whisper that I was an empath, and he immediately turned to the boy and asked him to leave. Suddenly everything felt much better, and I stood up like I was not dying just a minute ago. I asked Kaien-sama who that boy was, and he told me that his name was Zero Kiryu. He told me the tragic tale of Zero's family being attacked by a pureblood vampire when he was a kid and how Kaien decided to raise him as his own. He did not need to tell me that the boy was a vampire, no child, especially a hunter, could survive a pureblood without being turned. I understood his hatred now, his disgust ran deeper than just towards me, he loathed himself. I decided to call an end to our meeting and left the chairman's office.

Dark clouds were fading away, cowering at the sight of the elegant moon. The ruler of the night. Mankind's only method of surviving the cold, dark nights that the world threw at them, and our symbol. I loved the moon, something about it instigated a strong emotion deep within in me, it called out to me in ways I never understood. It felt too good to understand anyway, it was almost like music. I never understood why I loved music so much, but I never questioned my fondness for it simply because it made me felt good. I had been staring at my old friend for a while now, she never spoke, and she just stared and lightened the way for me. She gave away no emotions and maintained a neutral stand on the world. The moon was an empath's medicine. My medicine.
