A/N: So I'm kind of down to the fics I'm conflicted on for a lot of different reasons, this notebook is coming to an end, I believe this will be the second to last chapter since I really only have four fics left but I didn't want this one to have eleven segments for you to read through especially since I don't love all of them. Some of them I'm just not that confident are even good enough for me to continue from a pure plot perspective and others the plot is moving along just fine, I actually have quite a few pages on some of these, but the writing and the character personalities or the OOC-ness gets a little out of hand which I do my best to make sure is really minimal. So essentially, minus maybe one or two, these are what I consider kinda the crap-shoots of the bunch with some very very brand new ideas mixed in. I'm still interested in what you guys think about these but yeah my hopes aren't super high for some of them and I'll note which ones those are. Thanks for reading them though, even if they do make you cringe! Also, I really suck at these titles...so they might get re-named later on because uhh...well you'll see why. ~Len

Number 25. Silver Melodies (Ironically after that whole author's note, this is actually one of the ones I'm fairly confident on, but it is new, also an AU)

He played the piano like a true practiced musician. Nothing Cross Kaien had heard in his lifetime sounded quite like it. It wasn't strange for a child of such a wealthy family to be introduced to music and the arts. Often to show how versatile a family could be they put their children through all kinds of hell to ensure their status. But Kiryuu Zero was different. His family didn't need to force him into music lessons or make him try new things. He did it on his own, no prompting necessary, and while he was good at many of the skills he tried, playing the piano took up a great portion of his being soon after he learned the first few notes. His parents never complained about his gift, nor did they attempt to use him as a tool against others. Rather they kept Zero's playing to a minimum, he only was able to entertain certain guests with his charm of a piano. Kaien was one of these guests, and he considered himself lucky to be so, the Kiryuu family wasn't closed off by any means but they tended to keep people at an arm's length for reasons Kaien never understood. He simply learned to accept what always would be. Even so, as he was sitting there listening to this child prodigy play his soul on black and white keys he had to wonder if there was a specific reason his parents kept the boy so sheltered. Outside of his house Zero was practically untouchable, no one was allowed much more than a glance at the boy though his presence anywhere drew the attention of many.

Number 26. Found Out

"Good morning Kiryuu-kun! I hope you rested well." A friendly blonde with emerald eyes greeted him, he was one of the few vampires in the night class who didn't hate Zero with their entire being and in return Zero was rather friendly towards him.

"Yeah it was alright, and yourself Ichijo-san?" Zero asked in respect to the blonde, they shared many conversations though most of the other night class members were convinced it was because Zero would try and kill the blonde later.

"Great as always! By the way Zero, I believe you were assigned on a mission from the association earlier today. Kaname-sama said he would tell you about it later but I wanted to give you a heads up." Takuma said happily.

"Thanks, can't wait to go over what it is." Zero replied sarcastically rolling his eyes. Takuma smiled at him still and they both ignored the glares from the other students.

"Yes well we will go over that later Zero, for now we will get to class." A new voice entered the conversation, Zero and Takuma turned to see none other than the alpha vampire himself walking down the stairs with his younger sister Yuuki at his side. Yuuki smiled to Zero and ran over to him as soon as she was on the bottom of the steps. She pretty much grew up with the other boy and acted as though he was her brother. Zero thought of Yuuki as a sister and, though it was thought clearly by many others that they were in love, never really pushed her away as much even after her transition from sealed human to pureblood vampire princess.

"Good morning Zero!" Yuuki said happily to have both her brothers by her side Zero slightly smiled back to her and his hardened glare softened.

"Good morning Yuuki." He replied to her and she clung to his arm, despite her being a pureblood vampire, and a Kuran, she held Zero close to her heart and silently vowed she would one day get him and Kaname to get along.

The night class headed out of the gates and onto the pathway to their building lined with screaming fans, many people watched in awe as the night class passed and the new perfects of the school tried to keep everything in order. One of them was Sayori Wakaba and the other was a lifelong friend of Zero's, Takamiya Kaito. He was a hunter just as Zero was and they were both part of the elite force, Zero was like a younger brother to him that he loved to obsess over. Between Kaito and his master Touga Yagari, who was his teacher for the night class now, Zero wondered how he survived this long. "Zero!" Kaito said right away running over to his brother-like figure.

"What do you want Kaito?" Zero asked as Kaito ruffled Zero's hair in a teasing manner which Zero swatted away.

"Just checking up on my younger brother, is that so wrong Zero?" Kaito asked in a hurt tone, reminding him much of the headmaster.

"Oh no, I would never want to hurt you onii-san I just hope you realize that if you keep fake-crying like that people will think you're weaker than you actually are. It would be such a shame if you were thought of as weak by the entire day class wouldn't it?" Zero asked knowing full well he was playing a dangerous game. He couldn't help teasing Kaito though, and he would do whatever to get him to shut up.

"You mean you actually care Zero?! I never thought I would be able to get to that status! A dream come true!" Kaito cried looking as though he was in total bliss.

"Of course I care for you, how could you be so cruel to think that I wouldn't?" Zero asked with innocent eyes knowing Kaito would crack. Kaito looked at him for two seconds before slumping down to his knees in defeat.

"Ah fine you win! I can't deal with those eyes!" Kaito said earning his hands being pulled over his head and being thrown into a tree before he could register what was going on. Thinking quickly he turned and landed before the tree then running up it and doing a backflip off before going back to Zero's side.

"Too bad, you survived." Zero said in a disappointed tone. Kaito's eyes widened slightly.

"You were trying to kill me?" He asked grabbing his chest and stepping back.

"I figured maybe you would not use your brain like so many times before and hit the tree with your head causing your neck to snap and you to be paralyzed actually. But death is another way out I guess." Zero replied in all seriousness while the others around him took a step back.

"Oh, you are so going to pay for that!" Kaito said running at Zero who turned towards him and moved out of the way before he was killed by the raging Kaito. Zero managed to dodge every single one of Kaito's charges until a trick was played and it looked as though there were two of him, looking to hit right for a second he was caught between Kaito and a wall. Meanwhile, the day class girls were screaming in excitement and even the night class was shocked at the playful side of the hunter. Both boys had many fans and everyone was watching as Zero and Kaito bantered back and forth throwing fake insults and attacks at each other.

"What's the matter Kaito, the grass slowing down your movements?" Zero asked when he got behind the other hunter and tripped him, thanks to his training, Kaito was able to avoid falling on his face and was quickly on the silver-haired hunter again.

"Not at all, what about you? The cold getting to be too much for you Zero?" The brunette asked with a teasing smile.

"Not in the least." Zero replied quickly turning the tables and pinning one of Kaito's hands on his back while holding the other in the air. If Kaito wanted to move he might risk breaking one of his arms if not both. Therefore he deciding to use his feet to get Zero's hands off. By kicking behind him blindly, he felt the hands loosen for a moment only which he used to get out of Zero's grasp and grab his waist holding the other in the air. He smirked knowing Zero was trying to figure something out.

"You know there is no escape from this right?" He asked before he felt his arms slacken and Zero used his legs as a springboard and flipped off the older boy.

"What were you saying? I don't believe I caught that." Zero told him with a smirk on his face, getting his "older brother" out of his comfort zone was too much fun. Before either of them could make another move a gunshot went off making everyone turn to a pissed of Yagari walking towards them.

"I swear the two of you will one day be the death of me!" He shouted as the younger hunters were avoiding their master's wrath.

"Zero started it!" Kaito said pointing at the silver-haired teen.

"And we both know that's not true!" Zero shot back and before they could get into another banter, both were smacked over the heads by their master.

"Ow! Master that hurt!" Kaito whined rubbing his head while Zero rolled his eyes.

"And you said you were the older brother in this relationship?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Kaito glared and him before motioning something with his hands that no one else caught. Zero then nodded and while Yagari was looking in the other direction they snuck up behind him and quickly hit his sides making the man jump into the hair startled. Zero and Kaito started laughing as they quickly retreated from their master who was probably going to kill them for that stunt. The aura around Yagari had grown so dark the students backed away from him, however they were staring awestruck at the other two hunters, who were now safely in the trees, still laughing. Hardly anyone had actually seen the silver-haired boy smile and laugh and those who had thought it was a miracle. Now everyone was drooling over him as they did Kaname and the other night class boys.

"Zero could probably turn a straight man gay if he laughed and smiled more often." Yuuki giggled beside her brother as everyone continued watching the three hunters. Soon there were girls fainting because of the sight and others being shipped out because of nosebleeds while watching the two.

"Zero, Kaito if you two will come down now!" Yagari said trying to keep his temper under control and failing. Both boys did as they were told and walked towards their master with innocent looking eyes. "Don't even try giving me that." Yagari nearly spat knowing that he could never hurt his dear students, too badly, especially Zero who was more of his son. "Both of you will come to class tonight and both of you will have some time with me in my office!" He snapped not being able to take the innocent looking eyes before him.

Number 27. Brothers/Lovers (We've all read or wrote a twincest/incest fic before. Don't shame me, this was when I first started writing for VK. This is a POV by POV not like how I normally write anymore so that will likely be changed in the future but I was too lazy for now)

By the next morning I was feeling better and was able to get out of bed and follow Zero everywhere like I did when I was a child. Does it seem lame and too much like a little kid? Yes, but I don't care and neither does Zero. "Where are you going?" I asked as Zero was heading out the door.

"Work." He replied reluctantly. I didn't want him to go but I knew he had to so he could support us. It would mean he would have to leave me though and I don't know if I can handle that for the time being.

"Can't you work from home?" I asked walking up to him.

"I don't know, I would have to call the chair-" He started but I cut him off before he finished.

"Then call him and anyone else you have to, just don't leave." I could hear the desperation in my own voice as I begged. After a moment he nodded.

"Alright, I will call him." He said ruffling my hair and heading up to our room. I smiled to myself happy that I got my way, and then rushed upstairs behind him. I heard him typing away and figured he had already called the chairman and whoever else he needed to.

"So you can work from home today then?" I asked him sounding hopeful.

"Yes though I have no idea how I am going to get work done with you here constantly." He teased as I latched onto him again.

"I guess you will have to deal with doing less work then." I said back making him smile.

"I think you should go to a counselor if you think I am going to just deal with getting less work done. Ichiru I am going to have to head to work sometime soon and I'd rather not drag you there with me."

"You never let me go to work with you and I still don't understand why, it's not like I will do anything but sit there in your office or whatever you work in." I protested.

(Zero's POV)

"There are many reasons I don't let you go with me, and yes I work in an office thing, I don't want you to get hurt or anything though." I said looking at him for a moment. Well, most of what I said was true at least. The thing about the office wasn't completely true, I work in a prison cell to be honest and I couldn't have Ichiru down there with me for various reasons. He would be able to see everything for one and if that wasn't bad enough he would know what the chairman was really like. It would mortify him to no end. I thought looking at my brother who pulled up a chair beside me and was watching my every move like some sort of intent observer or scientist. "Are you trying to make sense of all this stuff?" I asked looking at his overly concentrated face, it was rather amusing to watch.

"Yes and I don't get any of it." He said with a defeated sigh. I chuckled before continuing to type on my most recent agreement form. "I don't get it, how do you keep everything straight?" He asked leaning on my shoulder.

Number 28. Sacrifices

If there was one thing Kuran Kaname really didn't like, it was not knowing things. Especially when those things revolved around the being that literally needed him to keep on living day to day as he did. As fate, or Satan, would have it said being was undeniably the most stubborn entity he had even come across! Not only that but he was a loner, most people didn't want to get near him and Kaname wondered if he purposefully kept up those murderous walls up just so no one would dare to pry open the doors of his closet containing all his secrets and skeletons. Kiryuu Zero was a struggling boy with tragic early life to say the least. His parents had been murdered, his brother taken from him, and he himself turned into a vampire. Going through all that before the age of ten made the kid something of a non-trusting recluse according to most everyone on campus that knew the truth. But Kaname always suspected there was way more to all of Zero's seemingly finalized stories and not knowing was killing him on the inside. He would find out, that was a promise more than death itself. "Kaname-sama?" Takuma questioned as he knocked on the president's door. There was no verbal reply but the door opened for the vice president noble.

"Takuma." he replied, though the other didn't say anything more the noble proceeded to speak.

"It has been brought to my attention. via the Council, there is a supposed battle going to break out in the near future." he announced with a frown.

"Is it clear where this battle is going to take place?" the vampire prince questioned with a mental sigh.

"Yes, which is why it is going to be a problem, it is supposedly going to be on academy grounds, and I believe the hunters here are going to be on the front lines." Takuma dully informed. Kaname turned to him and raised an eyebrow.

"Who is after what at the academy?" he questioned.

"It seems there is a group of rogue vampires most likely with a pureblood behind them who have decided to strike here; after going after the Hunter's Association they didn't find what, or more likely who they were looking for. It is unclear to the Council still." came the reply.

Number 29. Silver Soul Bond (Ichiru shows up in this fic too but later on, it goes down a bit of a strange path)

"Kaname-sama, I'm sorry to bother you but the Headmaster is requesting to see you." Ichijo Takuma, Kaname's loyal friend and right-hand man, announced from the door.

"Thank you Takuma, tell him I will go to the sun dorms in a little while, I would like to speak with him in his office." the pureblood replied as easy as he could. Takuma bowed and left the room as Kaname popped a blood tablet in his mouth. After that he left his room and hoped he could find the hunter.

"What was Kaname-sama so angry over?" Senri Shiki, cousin of the pureblood and boyfriend of Takuma, questioned seeing the blond make it back down to the rest of the nobles alive.

"Zero-kun I would assume, it seems he is nowhere in sight and probably starving." came the reply, Takuma sighed sympathetically. Despite that Zero was hated by most vampires, and day class girls, even some hunters, he could see there was a side of Zero that was kind and caring. 'He probably would act different if his little brother was still around.' he thought looking up into the night sky.

"Tsk. Kaname-sama needs to just kill him already, he's not worth the stress." Aido Hanabusa, loyal noble and pain in the ass for most, voiced from where he was mixing some science test tube no doubt to try on Zero if he could get that far.

"As much as I hate to agree with this buffoon, the hunter isn't worth the air we breathe." Souen Ruka, known as the bitch of the school, agreed. Takuma sighed and continued to watch out the window as Kaname was returning, he was much happier than when he had left so Takuma assumed he had indeed found Zero somewhere and the meeting with Cross Kaien was either forgotten or went in his favor somehow.

"Welcome back Kaname-sama." the room chorused as the pureblood walked back inside. Kaname nodded and stood at the head of the room clearly asking for everyone's attention.

Number 30. Silver Rose

"Yuuki-chan! Kaname-kun! I have an announcement for you two!" Cross Kaien, the headmaster of the school and a well-known ex-hunter turned pacifist and coexistence activist, bounded over to the two purebloods with a look of joy on his face.

"What is it headmaster?" Yuuki questioned with a kind smile to the man who she viewed as something of a father-figure.

"There is a new pureblood showing in town in a night or so, he is bringing a small group of nobles that are loyal to him...or something like that. Anyway, they will be staying here at Cross Academy and I would like the night class to show up at the welcoming ceremony. Of course with his arrival, the attention of the hunters are not in any way lacking so I assume the head of the association and his most trusted and skilled hunters will be there as well." Kaien announced with a thinned out smile, he approved coexistence between humans and vampires sure, but vampire and hunter coexistence was something totally different and on a new level of complicated in comparison.

"Does that mean Zero will be there?" Yuuki questioned with a slightly worried look, Kaien nodded and adjusted his glasses.

"Oh wonderful, we're going to have a war before anything can even happen." Souen Ruka, the least liked noble of the group, piped up with a scoff and a flip of her hair.

"Zero may not be friendly by any means, but he is professional, with the head of the association there I honestly doubt his attention will be anywhere close to on the vampires. Trust in his occupation if not his attitude." Kaien advised before he turned and headed off to the sun dorms.

"Somehow, I highly doubt that." Aido mumbled once the ex-hunter was out of earshot.

"Anyway, I wonder what the new pureblood is like. Do you know him onii-san?" Yuuki changed the topic easily to her brother.

"I do not, I wasn't aware that there was another pureblood expected to arrive in Japan much less Cross Academy." Kaname replied as the night class filed back into their dorms and were dismissed to do as they wished.

"That is quite strange that the council knew nothing of this, if they did just receive notice I bet they're in a frenzy right now." Ichijo Takuma, the vise president and Kaname's best friend as well as the grandson of the head of the vampire council, sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"I don't doubt that, still it is strange that there is a pureblood I have never met just randomly showing up in this area of Japan and staying here. I almost wonder if they have an alternate motive." Kaname mumbled glancing at Yuuki sightly.

"It's possible, but we also do not know the age of this pureblood. He could be very young and unknowing still about this area perhaps he was sent here for one reason or another." Akatsuki Kain, Aido's older cousin and a noble born with the ability to control fire, noted from his place on the couch. Takuma hummed and nodded.

"I for one am excited about their arrival, it'll be nice to have some new company." Yuuki smiled brightly wondering about the nobles in the new pureblood's group. The other vampires just looked at her briefly and dismissed her comment, Yuuki was still young compared to them. She wasn't as aware of the harsh realities that came with the arrival of unknown pureblood vampires yet.

Yuuki and the night class gathered around the door of the building that they were supposed to be having the welcoming party at. The vampires showed up first, everyone was dressed in their best attire with polite greetings to each other. The head of the association pulled up in a large black car with his most trusted at his side. The hunters said nothing but the glares spoke volumes. The only ones who seemed less than interested were Takamiya Kaito and Wakaba Sayori who were standing to the side of Zero. Said hunter was dressed nicer than Yuuki had ever seen him, it almost as though he was a different person the way he mingled cooly with other hunters. Zero even has his own group of followers it looked like. 'I've never seen Zero so professional before, if he did that at school who knows how much of a posse he would gain.' Yuuki thought as she shamelessly stared at the hunter and his friends.

"Yuuki-san, how are you doing tonight? I have to say that this came as quite a surprise for us. I didn't know there were purebloods coming." Sayori greeted her best friend, although she was an information gatherer more than anything in the Hunter's Association she was one of the most trusted hunters on the inner field.

"Yes, we had no idea either until the Headmaster told us after class the other night. I had no idea Zero was so different with others from the association. Who are the ones following him like shadows?" Yuuki asked tilting her head slightly.

"Oh, Zero's really only that way because the head is here. Normally he locks himself away in a room to file reports and to get away from everyone. Only a select few does he actually choose to converse with on a basis but since the head is here things are different. As for his shadows, those seven are his students. Let me tell you they are skilled beyond skilled. For the past four years Zero has been personally training them each one on one in their own specific skill types. I can't really go into more detail but I'm sure Zero will tell you if you ask." Sayori replied as Zero and Kaito were called to the head's side. "The pureblood must be arriving soon, the head is gathering his most able hunters by him." Sayori observed looking over to the group of elite hunters.

"I see, Kaito, Zero, Touga and the seven shadows are all over there. They must be incredible hunters then." Yuuki mumbled watching Zero calmly cast his soul-seeing gaze at different vampires around the room.

"You got that right, they're more amazing than even I know of I'm sure. Touga-sensei can really go on about Zero for hours if given the chance sometimes it's hard to remember that he is only Zero's teacher not his father." Sayori replied with a fond smile. Yuuki watched as the head of the association nodded to his hunters and they all dispersed around the room in different locations. Zero was closest to her and the night class with Kaito not too far away.

"It's starting." Kaname announced from behind the girls. Sayori and Yuuki looked over to see everyone who was previously seated standing in an orderly fashion. The aura of pureblood vampires and highly skilled nobles filled the surrounding area. The doors opened to reveal a noble vampire young woman, a little older than Yuuki by the looks of it, her long black hair reaching past her hips which black jeans clung onto with a belt. Her top was laced and black, her skin was snow white and her eyes showed neither warmth or cold to anyone they gazed upon. That was until she spotted a silver-haired hunter. Kaname looked between the vampire who was staring at him and the hunter who was staring in the opposite direction out the window, it took a few minutes before the girl tore her gaze away as the other nobles of her group filed inside. Among them was a tall blonde with shining violet-blue eyes that looked to be filled with passion, love and expression. His smile was bright and loving to everyone, Kaname didn't miss that he too looked and paused as his eyes passed over Zero and then whispered something to the previous noble who nodded.

"Wow, that one really looks like Aido doesn't he..." Sayori mumbled to Yuuki gazing at the blonde feeling her cheeks flare slightly when her eyes were caught by his and he winked ever so slightly at her.

"He seems to be something of a flirt too. Much like our resident lady-killer over here." Yuuki giggled and watched as a handsome black-haired male walked in behind the blonde. His eyes were the color of red wine and he looked to be very proper even compared to the other nobles. Behind him was a pair of twins it looked like. Both were blond, blue-eyed girls with similar outfits on. The only way Yuuki could tell one from the other was the one had wavy hair and the other's hair was stick straight.

"Oh my, twins, that will be fun I'm sure." Aido whispered from somewhere to the side of the girls. Yuuki rolled her eyes and Sayori shook her head slightly at the ice-wielding noble. Behind them followed a raven-haired noble with a sword hanging from his side, his eyes were guarded but not unkind, clinging onto his hand was a small blond with blue eyes looking around curiously and filled with smiles of wonder.

"I wonder if those two are brothers..." Sayori commented crossing her arms in thought. Yuuki hummed and nodded. "So those four must be purebloods then? I didn't know there would be more than just one of them." she noted with wide eyes as a young girl scampered out and joined the black haired one standing to the side. After her came two young boys of pureblood status, and then a third who looked to be Kaname's age also of pureblood status and clearly the leader of the group. He held the hand of a young girl with black hair and black eyes much like the first girl only she was a pureblood as well.

"I don't think I've ever seen so many purebloods in one group before. I'm curious as to where they come from." Kaname wondered aloud seeing the oldest pureblood's eyes fixated on a figure by the window. 'I also have to wonder why they are all so interested in Kiryuu-kun, do they pose a threat I should warn him of?' he added in thought.

"Now that everyone has come in, I proudly announce the arrival of the Takashi Clan and their loyal nobles. Please, everyone, welcome them and mingle." Ichijou Asato smiled and bowed to the group of vampires before speaking to the crowd before him. "We do hope you enjoy your stay here, I have been told you will be staying at Cross Academy with my trusted grandson and our prince Kuran Kaname, princess Kuran Yuuki, as well as the other nobles. Please if you need anything do not hesitate to call on the council, we are here to serve." Asato bowed to the eldest pureblood who nodded and thanked the noble.

'Oh they serve you alright, they serve you a huge ass headache.' Takuma snorted to no one. His grandfather was one hell of a piece of work that's for sure.

Number 31. Cross Academy

"Did Juri tell you?" Ichiru asked as they entered the waiting room, Zero was well known at the hospital for helping out on occasional deliveries and medical care help. The trio had no trouble getting through the security checks because of him.

"No." Came the reply simply, though Zero didn't offer the actual reason he knew causing Ichiru to huff. He swore his brother had some supernatural power when it came to certain things. Zero wasn't a child genius, but he learned quickly and did things efficiently, so much so that he skipped up two grades and entirely skipped his elementary years.

"Zero, Ichiru, so glad you two could make it!" Haruka's voice sounded as he greeted the boys like family, which in all honesty they basically were to him, and shook hands with Kai.

"Yes, we're glad we could make it as well." Zero smiled back to him as the boys' mother walked out of the labor room.

"You can all come inside now, Kaname has been born." She smiled after hugging her sons. Stella Kiryuu was the basis of beauty with long silver hair and amethyst eyes, Zero took after most of her features only he had the build of his father, Ichiru was the opposite, he appeared nearly terrifying to those who made him angry but to most people he was soft and gentle as his mother was.

"He's beautiful." Haruka commented looking down at his dark chocolate haired son who had been placed in his arms as soon as they entered the room. Soon the child was passed to Zero, to witch Kaname opened his re wine colored eyes and looked at intently.

"And my brother is ogling a baby, that's one for the yearbook." Ichiru mumbled in the background to which Zero rolled his eyes at and ignored, for now.

"Kaname, it suits you well." Zero told the child who reached up and grabbed a hold of Zero's hair gently.

"I think he likes you," Juri chuckled from the bed as Kaname was brought back to her, though it took a minor effort to get him to let go of Zero.

"Good, I much prefer that to him hating me as most do Ichiru." Zero replied with a smile leaving the bedside as the adults laughed and Ichiru rolled his eyes.

Kaname's arrival apparently started a trend, three months later the Kiryuu family was called to attend the birth of Sara Shirabuki. The young girl, who was also placed in Zero's arms soon after her father's, simply smiled at Zero with crystal blue eyes and golden blonde hair framing an angelic face. Zero knew she was going to be an experience to have around. Not a year later were the births of Kain Akatsuki, a calm and collected boy, Ichijo Takuma, whose smile literally brightened the room and all its participants, as well as Senri Shiki, who decided sleeping on Zero's shoulder was the best invention since breathing air. A year later came Aido Hanabusa, who was calm for less than two minutes before he started screaming in the ear of his mother, and Souen Ruka, whose birth took nearly three hours because of her stubbornness. Two months after that came Toya Rima, small compared to most children but fully functioning and healthy regardless, Seiren, who was quiet and compliant with everything. A year after all of them Kuran Yuki was also welcomed into the vampire world. Zero had become the go-to for everything the kids needed, teaching, babysitting, visits and even meals. Ichiru laughed at his brother about it on numerous occasions, as long as the kids weren't around, but his brother always ignored him and moved along with whatever he was doing. "They're thinking about sending them to school soon. One that's run by Cross Kaien." Zero told Ichiru as he closed the door to the house after Sara and Kaname left with their parents.

"Cross Kaien? Isn't that guy a little...I dunno, crazy to put it politely?" Ichiru asked looking up from his food that Zero had set out for him. Zero smiled at him and nodded slightly. Kaien Cross was an ex-hunter and a fabulous hunter he was but the man was almost legally deemed a lunatic more than once.

Number 32. Life in the Moon Dorms (There are a lot of OCs in this once but the main characters are still centric)

Kuran Kaname, Kuran Yuuki, Ichijo Takuma, Senri Shiki, Toya Rima, Seiren, Souen Ruka, Kain Akatsuki, and Aido Hanabusa were all standing in headmaster Cross Kaien's office. They were the new students to Cross Academy. Kaname, the pureblood and leader of the group, listened partially in on what the flamboyant man was going off about. "So as you all know you will be in the moon dorms because you're vampires, the president is currently out but he should be arriving sometime around when your class starts. Other than that, why don't we head over to meet the perfects of the school who escort you to and from class as well as keep the lines of fans from running you all over." Kaien smiled and beckoned the group of students outside his office.
"Headmaster, you called for us?" a voice asked as two young girls walked up, both were of average height and dressed in casual clothing.
"Ah, perfect timing you two! Yes I wanted to introduce the two of you to the new members of the night class that I gave you the profiles for earlier this week." he smiled gesturing to the group behind him, both girls nodded and bowed.
"Pleasure to meet you all, my name is Gaashi, I'm a second year." the first girl said stepping forward, her deep purple hair was tied into medium length pigtails and there were little black devil horns sticking up from a headband embedded in the strands. Narrow tan eyes framed with square glasses looked at each of the students with a criticizing gaze, golden rocks connected by a string choked her neck; hardly matching the light blue and white laced corset wrapped tightly around her torso. A gray and gold buckled belt kept skinny white jeans on her hips, covering the tops of tan boots with chocolate brown laces.
"My name is Saki, Gaashi's partner and also a second year here," the second girl started, unlike Gaashi she was shy and kept her voice quiet. Her blue hair was cut short and decorated with a deep blue rose surrounded by black lace sewed onto a headband. Grape purple eyes were wide and innocent contrasting to pale skin, though not as pale as the vampires. A deep blue shirt with bright blue lacing and fishnet sleeves covered the top of a matching bright blue long skirt with a deep blue piece of cloth tied in a knot on the side. Blue heels on her feet decorated with a teal blue buckle on each side, overall she was a very well dressed and seemingly wealthy girl.
"It's a pleasure to meet the both of you." Kaname nodded to the both of them politely but it was a distantly polite gesture.
"Well then, since you're all introduced, Gaashi, Saki, why don't you take them to the moon dorms so they can put down their things. Also, tell the night class that their president is on his way back." Kaien smiled looking at the softened and lightly blushing faces of both girls as the president was mentioned.
"Of course, Kaien-san. See you tomorrow." Saki smiled as Gaashi lead the way out of the sun dorms.
"Sigh, now the fans have even more of a reason to come out here and be impossible to manage," Gaashi sighed with irritation. "We need another person on the disciplinary committee." she added, Saki smiled sympathetically but said nothing.
"The school works two ways as you probably know, we will come and get you for class and the president will explain how the crossover works. U-um it's very loud and filled with people, we ask kindly that you not engage too much with the day class fans for your own sake." Saki started as she opened the gates and knocked on the door of the moon dorms.
"Saki-chan? To what do we owe the pleasure?" a brown haired level B noble vampire asked, distantly polite, as he opened the door. He was tall and pale as well as stoic but had a welcoming aura around him, beckoning the students inside he called for the attention of the entirety of the moon dorms. "You must be the new students we have been told about, I am Takamiya Kaito, the vise president of the moon dorms." he introduced bowing slightly to Kaname.
"It's a pleasure to be brought into the moon dorms, Cross Academy's most praised group of students." Takuma smiled shaking hands with Kaito, as a level B noble himself and a right-hand man for a pureblood, the two shared a type of valued connection.
"It's a pleasure to have you here, as you probably know the president isn't here at the moment but in his stead I'll give you a tour of the moon dorms." Kaito replied turning towards the two perfects.
"Oh, Kaito-san, the headmaster said to tell you and the rest of the moon dorms that he is on his way back." Gaashi said as she and Saki bowed once again and headed for the door. Kaito's eyes widened slightly and looked towards the rest of his classmates.
"I suppose we should clean up then," he replied with a tone of urgency then turned to a small framed, short honey brown haired, level B noble. "Sayori-chan, will you please give them the tour?" he asked, the girl nodded and walked up to the group bowing slightly.
"My name is Wakaba Sayori, it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, please follow me and I'll show you to the hall and rooms you will be staying in." she nearly whispered, the rest of the moon dorms went into a near frenzy in order to clean the place up for the president. "U-um Kaname-sama, Yuuki-sama, we were not told if you would be rooming together or not s-so the president has two rooms set up but you don't need to use both of them. T-the rest of you have been paired up." she added nodding to two vampires mopping the balcony as they passed.
"This president must be a pretty big deal if he causes this much commotion just be returning to the academy." Aido mused lightly to Kain as Sayori was showing Ruka and Rima their room and pointing out the schedule as well as their uniforms.
"The president is a big deal, the entire academy bows to him like no other celebrity on Earth." another student replied as she passed by, "Kiryuu-sama is not a force to be reckoned with, my name is Tsui Haruka by the way I'm rooming with a girl named Seiren from your group I was told." she added coming to a stop and wiping a mahogany table in the hallway with polish. She was dressed in a light brown skirt with a bright red stripe on the waist, milk chocolate brown boots were zipped to her thighs covering the majority of the pale skin on her legs. Her shirt was cut off less than halfway down her torso, sleeveless laced with dark brown strings contrasting the pale red of the middle sections of the shirt but matching the black sides and back. Trimmed with a honey gold ribbon matching two identical bands on her arms and a deep brown ascot tied tightly around her neck. Her hair was a milk brown and surprisingly went well with crystal blue eyes, darker than Aido's, decorated with a dark and even darker brown bow in her hair. The new students looked at her as though asking her to tell them more, she simply smiled and continued polishing the desk.
After the new additions to the night class were shown their rooms and tried on uniforms to make sure everything fit and if not were adjusted, everyone dispersed into different sections of the moon dorms. The majority of what was assumed to be the dorm president's inner circle were stationed in the living room with the new students. "So then, how are the classes here?" Yuuki asked looking over to Kaito, the boy shrugged before answering.
"Well, considering we don't exactly practice normal school subjects, I say they're fairly easy. Basically what we do is develop blood tablets and test different things to make coexistence more than just an ideal reality, of course we do have to go through some classes such as history and a variety of science and math classes but those aren't such a big deal."
"That depends on who you're talking to, I find the chemistry classes difficult and I've taken two years of it." Haruka huffed crossing her arms as she walked out from the kitchen with a bottle of water and a blood tablet. "Currently we're trying to create a blood tablet that works on level D vampires without there being gagging, burning, dizziness, nausea and other side effects aside from not being able to take them at all." she added with a sigh.
"Unfortunately even with all our resources we haven't been able to succeed in that department and we're not exactly sure why. So far we've come up with that it has something to do with certain enzymes in a level D's blood cells that apparently mutate when they turn to a level D which makes them unable to take the pill...but we haven't found a way to cure it as of yet." another noble girl spoke up from where she stood at the bookshelf, she had introduced herself as Suei Sayo earlier to the group. Light maroon hair was tied into largely looped pigtails hanging to her shoulders, her bangs were messy but cut so she could still see, a white ribbon hung around her neck holding a polished amber stone in the middle matching the tan crop sweater she wore over a pure white dress that went only slightly down her thighs. A white and tan ribbon was clipped into her hair matching white socks that came nearly up to her knees and tan open-toed heels were strapped together with a golden buckle. She was a level B noble as well as Haruka.
"It's also partially irritating that while there are many level E vampires out there, it's actually hard to find a level D around here now. The hunters do well on their jobs but there have been occasions where I would have liked to use the cells of a level D in order to help the research move along." Tsui Keiku, Haruka's older brother, called softly from where he sat next to Kaito. He too was a level B noble however unlike his sister he possessed off silver hair and was dressed in black jeans with a gray button-down shirt. He also had piercing blue eyes which matched an electric blue crystal that hung against his chest and black sneakers with blue lacing.
"That's generally how the classes are if that answers your question Yuuki-sama." Shai Lisaki, a level B noble with blood red eyes and light blue hair dressed in a deep red and tan skirt with a matching shirt that hung off her shoulders, tan slip-on shoes went with her pale honey complexion as did the blood red ribbon tied around her neck matching the red rose with tan lacing hairband. Yuuki nodded to her and smiled slightly.
'The vampires here are so different from what Kaname-niisan's inner circle is like. Everything seems less...stiff? I wonder if that is the doing of the pureblood here.' she thought hearing a car pull up in the distance.
"Ah, the president is back. I'm sure he'll be delighted to meet you all, Lisaki-chan will you go get Ichiru-sama?" Kaito asked standing up and walking to the window. The girl nodded and vanished without a second to lose.
"Ichiru-sama?" Aido asked looking at the nobles that were in the room for an explanation.
"Oh yes, should have mentioned that, our president has a younger brother named Kiryuu Ichiru he too is a pureblood but he's nowhere as strong or controlled as his brother is. Generally, he locks himself away while his brother is gone and we don't know why. But yes, you should probably meet him too." Moroshi Jaren, as the level B noble introduced himself, once he got out of the shower and changed into gray jeans with an open yellow-tan sleeveless shirt that had a black belt around the waist to keep it in place. A bright lime green stone hung from a leather string around his neck and his black mass of hair was swept carelessly behind him with a towel causing it to fall in all sorts of strange angles. He wore light yellow-tan sneakers with black laces though according to Kaiku he normally went shoeless around the dorms. Kain could tell they would be good friends the first time he lay eyes on narrow lime green stoic ones that evenly matched his gaze.
"You called Jaren-san?" a polite soft voice asked from the top of the stairs, there stood a boy looking to be about the age of thirteen with silver hair and steel lilac eyes. The entire group of vampires turned and bowed to the young pureblood before the door opened to reveal the president of the moon dorms and an extremely powerful aura.
"Welcome back, Zero-sama." the entirety of the moon dorms chorused and bowed making way for the pureblood.
"Thank you everyone, the dorms look very good I'm impressed you were able to clean it so thoroughly on such short notice." came a smooth tenor voice as the male took off his coat and handed it to Lisaki who bowed and vanished once again. Like Ichiru, Zero had silver hair only his eyes were a brighter and more intense lilac than his little brother's. Kaname felt a shiver go down his spine when those eyes were staring directly at him. "It's a pleasure to see the new students in the moon dorms, I hope you have been shown to your rooms and the headmaster hasn't talked your ears off. As you know I am the moon dorm president Kiryu Zero, older brother to Ichiru and head of the class. I look forward to becoming more acquainted with you all." he announced with an undertone of amusement at the looks on all their faces. Zero wasn't oblivious to the reasons humans, hunters and vampires alike compared him to that of a god. He possessed both the beauty and personality of one, not to mention the power as well.
"It's a pleasure to be here Zero-sama." Kaname and his group chorused back and bowed out of respect.
"Nii-san, will you be staying for a while now?" Ichiru asked clutching onto his brother's pant leg, Zero's eyes softened for him and placed a hand in silver tresses.
"Yes, I will be. Have you been in your room the entire time I was gone?" Zero answered raising an eyebrow at the younger pureblood. Ichiru blushed slightly and his face into Zero's shirt to avoid the sympathetic looks of everyone else. Zero mentally sighed and looked at Kaito. "There have been reports of a band of level Es out in town, Keiku, Haruka and Sayo, will you go check that? Kaito there are some reports on my desk upstairs." he announced looking to the rest of the class with a nod, they nodded at their silent dismissal and went back to whatever they had been previously doing. Kaito headed upstairs and the three nobles headed out the door to see to the level E predicament.
"What's for dinner?" Ichiru asked eventually pulling away from his older brother, Zero shrugged in reply and told him to pick out a recipe for him to make for dinner. Ichiru smiled and walked off with a nod.
"Apologies for all of you coming into a somewhat chaotic environment, though you're probably all used to it judging by your status'." Zero said looking behind him, seeing that the group looked still very out of place he added, "Make yourselves at home, after all you will be staying here for Satan knows how long." then walked off into the kitchen.

A/N: Alright like I said this is probably going to be the second to last chapter for this e-notebook at least until I have new plot ideas and other inspiration to explode with more VK fictions. In case you guys do read for other fandoms I will probably be posting something similar for Free, Fairy Tail, OHHC, Fruits Basket, D. Gray-Man and Diabolik Lovers. If you're interested in any of those then I encourage you to keep an eye on my page in the future. Lastly, I wanted to once again thank everyone for all your support and the reviews you're giving me. I'm actually getting a fairly decent spread of fictions that I didn't necessarily expect but I'm super happy with how this is going. I love meeting and talking to you guys personally, that's just me, I like to keep it real and keep it communicative so thank you for allowing me to do that. After my last chapter, I'll likely leave it up for a few days before I post an announcement/first chapter of the fiction that I'm moving forward with so expect for my account not to be all that active until then. I look forward to reading your comments and seeing the results, and hope you all have a wonderful day, evening, night or morning! ~Len
