General P.O.V.

Everyone stood there, staring in shock, not a single word was uttered at what had just happened. The moon was slowly rising higher and higher into the sky, casting its silver light upon those gathered at one of the larger outdoor fields. No one could put it into words what had just happened. If it wasn't for the fact that all present had witnessed it happen, as their eyes stay trained on the girl in the middle of the field, smiling smugly as her bow rested by her side in one hand.

About 80 meters (262 ft) from where the girls stood, was a target that had several arrows piercing the dead center. The clustering was so tight that they were sure that some of the arrows should have been damaged. Even the Night Class, whom most of the Day Class had initially been staring at, had their eyes glued to their Day Class member. Who didn't seem to notice at all?

"Does that satisfy you, Aidou-san? Zero-kun? Though I find stationary targets to be boring. There is no thought involved, just gauged, point and fire after factoring in the weather conditions."

The slightly mocking tone used was not missed by anyone present. Both individuals had a faint flush of what could be taken in several different ways as their gazes hardened at the girl — knowing that what she said was a challenge to them, personally.

"Not really. If you're so insistent that you like moving targets, why not prove yourself with one."

The smile that split that almost angelic face of hers was borderline frightening. It made Kagome's cobalt eyes darken and seemingly glow with a mischievous light in their depths.

"Zero-kun?"

"By all means, if the Headmaster is okay with it, why not."

To those who knew Kiryu, could tell that he was intentionally masking his emotions. It was evident in those violet-colored eyes he was impressed, something that was not easily achieved.

"Headmaster?"

"Oh, I would like to see this. Your skill is amazing."

The faint blush that spread across pale, moon-kissed cheeks at his praise. Told them all Kagome was not used to getting complimented, and it didn't help that Zero was in his obstinate manner, acknowledging her skills.

"Yuki, you bring what I asked."

Said girl smiled and vanished into the crowd of people who were looking shocked. Kagome wasn't trying to hide the fact that she had planned this all out. But told no one, waiting till right before they were supposed to gather here, to ask Yuki to bring something specific. The poor girl had been so confused, her face looking like those around her.

"Here you go, Kagome, a basket of fruits in various sizes. Shall I hand them out to random people both Day and Night class?"

"Yes, please do Yuki. Thank you!"

The sweet sing-song tone of voice that was used had quite a few eyebrows jumping up to the hairline as Yuki set about handing them out. Of course, she made sure to hand a piece to the Headmaster, Zero, Kaname. Hanabusa got one after he asked. His blue eyes pinned to the dark-haired girl as she retrieved her arrows from the target.

Once she was back at her starting point, Kagome smiled and sighed. A soft smile on her face as those who could see her face noted, a slightly dazed and far away look in her eyes, as if she recalled a fond, but a distant memory. After a few minutes, they watched as she shook her head and brought herself back to the present.

"Those that have a piece of fruit, please stand anywhere between me and the target, within my line of sight, please. Then one at a time, starting with Headmaster Cross, throw your piece of fruit up."

It took less than two minutes for the small group of people to gather, randomly placing themselves in the field. Watching as the first Headmaster, then two students, followed by Zero, Kaname, and more students flung the fruit up into the sky, the light of the stars and the full moon shone down. Each piece she expertly put an arrow through, so when they landed, the head of the arrow pierced the ground.

When it was just Hanabusa left, they watched as he smirked and threw his fruit up and at her. A gasp came from the crowd as they watched it sail at the girl, fast. The calm look on her face as she raised the bow and fired it at the piece of fruit. The sharp snicht as it pierced the orange before making it fly backward, towards Hanabusa who moved the side swiftly as the arrow buried itself into the ground right in front of where he had been standing.

Silence hung heavy in the air as the whole student body, prefects and Headmaster stared back and forth between the two. It was as if something had happened, but no one was quite sure, well other than the perfect, Night Class members, and the Headmaster.

"Are you alright, Aidou-san?"

The honest and straightforward question that broke the silence had everyone letting a breath out that they had not been aware they'd been holding. The students gathered had mixed feelings about what they'd just seen happen. But there were different reasons behind the Day and Night class for those feelings.

Kaname P.O.V.

He was impressed with her skill, though he knew this was not the extent of it with the bow and arrow. But the fact that she just put Aidou in his place was rather amusing, even if said blond-haired vampire was having a hard time deciding if he wanted to stare at her in shock or glare in anger. Sliding his gaze toward Kiryu, he noted that the boy was looking at her, his violet eyes showing he was impressed with her skills, very openly.

Giving a small sigh, Kaname let his gaze land on the Kaine Cross, who was giving the petite girl a rather calculating look as he kept that idiotic, disarming smile on his lips. Having known the man as long as he had, Kaname knew there was more to the ex-vampire hunter (One of the best) now turned director of a school, that was to help promote better interrelations between humans and vampires.

"That was a show of some skills Miss Higurashi. You have talent."

His words were sliding from his lips softly as he spoke in his normal hushed tone of voice. He was garnering everyone's attention. His red-brown eyes were showing nothing of what his thought process was as Kagome looked up at him, smiling softly, her cheeks darkening even more. It amused him to see her react to simple praise like that. But then again, he wasn't too surprised. She acted like a distant but friendly person, but he could tell that it was just a facade to hide behind to protect herself.

"Thank you very much, Kuran."

The small curtsy she gave as she bobbed her head in acknowledgment had Kaname raising an eyebrow and tilting his head up in response.

"Well, while that was fun, it is getting late. Our night students need to be getting to their class for lessons. And you, our day students need to get to the Sun Dorm."

The pleasant toned voice from the Headmaster drew sighs, groans, and mutters from the whole student body. But, Kaname knew that while his tone was happy, it held that undercurrent that said he would be obeyed. The proof was in how the Day students all quickly moved to head to their dorms without the usual fuss, pomp, and circumstance that occurred every night when the Night Class left their dorm to go to school.

"Kagome, midnight at the lake?"

He spoke mentally to the girl, getting a small hum in response as she went about gathering up her fruit-laden arrows. Tonight was the first full moon since their pact, meaning he would meet her Lord or as she referred to him to others in the school, guardian.

Deciding that was a good enough answer, Kaname walked behind his fellow Night Students to the school. Their class would be shorter due to this little 'event' so it would not be too much of a wait. His curiosity was growing, the need to meet this person he knew a long time ago. Said person who knew about his family's situation on that snowy night so many years ago.

Kagome P.O.V.

It had been a somewhat successful experiment on her end, even if she had taken a slightly cocky slingshot at the blond vampire. But, in her defense, he had goaded her throughout the demonstration, then threw the damned piece of fruit directly at her. So, she was not surprised that she was smiling as she collected all her arrows, wiping the juices from the fruit on the grass and put the shafts back into her quiver, before tossing the pierced food into the basket Yuki had initially carried them in.

She was well aware of one Zero Kiryu off to the side, watching her while he waited. His silence was blessed instead of his typical snide commentary; in fact, from what she could feel of his aura, he was amused and impressed. Sighing as she picked up that last arrow, pulling the orange from it with a loud squelch like pop, she wiped it off and slipped it into the quiver with one hand, while the other tossed it expertly into the basket.

"I am done. Let's get me back to the dorms, Zero-kun."

Not a sound came from the boy as he turned and walked just slightly in front of her in silence. Shaking her head at this, Kagome didn't comment as she looked up at the clear night sky, enjoying the stars twinkling like little jewels on black velvet. The full moon a pendant that cast a silvery glow as it reflected the light of the sun from behind the earth down onto the field. It never ceased to amaze her how beautiful it was.

Kagome gasped when she felt her body tilt as her foot caught on something. Only to blink wide eyes at Zero as he held her up by her shoulder, giving her a rather dark glare, that was mixed with his violet eyes dancing brightly in mirth at her expense. Drawing a small wave of nostalgia as she frowned and looked away from his eyes. Pain etching itself briefly onto her face before it smoothed out into her regular polite mask, complete with a small smile.

"Thank you. Sorry, I got lost in thought."

Even not looking at him, she could feel the way his aura was reacting to her actions. The way his grip tightened for a second before he let her go. Kagome was well aware of the Kiryu family lineage since she tracked all the bloodlines of those she called family once upon a time. He was the descendant of Miroku and Sango after they got married. His eyes were the same color as Miroku's but had that hard look in them like Sango's did.

"I would suggest you don't get lost in thought again. I will not catch you if and when you fall again."

"I understand, Kiryu-san."

Lapsing into silence as they continued across the school courtyard, through the side gate to the dorms. Kagome peeked over to Zero, his face pensive as his eyes stayed forward, glaring at nothing. She could tell he was in thought again, but this time it was because of her calling him by his last name, not his first. She had been at the school just under two months now. Already one of her goals was accomplished, but tonight would bring things forward — her meeting in a few hours with Kaname at the lake.

It would be interesting to see how the two very dominant males would react to each other. The thought of the two silent men just staring each other down, before she would have to step in and speak had a soft giggle flying from her lips. Earning her another dark glare from her companion as they reached the Sun Dorm Courtyard. To which she couldn't help but giggle harder.

"Goodnight. And thank you for escorting me."

Not waiting for his reply, since none would be forthcoming, Kagome walked by him and to the dormitory's double doors. Looking over her shoulder before slipping into the building, she saw him looking at her. His aura flaring with his questions he probably wouldn't ask, because that was just the type of person he was. It was not her problem if he wanted to be stoic and standoffish, even if it was a good reason, but she had to get ready for later.

? P.O.V.

I stood there and watched as she fired arrow after arrow at the target. My heightened eyesight was not missing a single thing in her posture as she remained calm, taking slow, steadying breaths as she angled her bow up a bit as she gauged the trajectory of each shot. She was putting each pointed tip into the red, yellow, and blue target. Only centimeters apart from the one before it until her quiver had been emptied.

It was rather curious that she could do something like that since it took years upon years of training to get that accurate. And I knew the girl couldn't be more than sixteen, but her level of skill placed her towards her forties or higher. She was an expert marksman. A very humble one at that from the way her skin was glowing at the simple praise from the Headmaster, indicating that she was not used to receiving such words.

I was stifling a groan when Hanabusa spoke up, giving me the urge to smack the idiot. All I wanted to do was just get to class and back to the dorms. So when the girl offered to do a moving target demonstration, I couldn't help but look at her. From there, it was apparent she had expected it, not just from Hanabusa, but from Zero as well. The latter was looking intently at her, body stiff, though it was apparent he was impressed with her skill.

In the next moment, I found myself standing on the field, holding a nectarine in my hand, ready to throw it into the air. My eyes were tracking the girl's movements as she shot each piece accurately. She was showing that she was telling the truth. The smile on her face, he was sure she wasn't aware of, as her blue eyes flashed in the light of the full moon as she enjoyed hitting each piece. Lighting up her face, making her appear ethereal to my eyes.

When it was my turn, I tossed up the nectarine, the way her body swung only at the waist as one arm grabbed another arrow, notching and drawing it back. I saw her close her eyes as she released the arrow without looking. The moment it pierced the piece of fruit, her eyes opened as she sighed contentedly. Satisfaction coloring her face until she looked at Hanabusa.

Already I could tell that the blond was going to do something stupid, and was proven right when it was thrown up, and towards the girl with a bit more strength then the idiot should have used — flicking his gaze back to the girl seeing her quirk an eyebrow before her body moved quickly. Only to have Hanabusa jumping back towards me and landing on his ass. It was rather funny to see the slightly panicked look on his face as the arrow pierced the ground where he had been standing seconds before.

Looking down at the arrow as he held out a hand to help Hanabusa up, realizing that if she had wanted too, she could've hit the blond. Pressing my lips into a thin line as the Headmaster called for everyone to go to their appropriate places, the Day class to the dorms and the Night class, well to their lessons. I felt something stir in me as I shoved Hanabusa forward. Whatever it was, I didn't want to know, but this girl was making everyone, not just himself, take notice of her as not only a human but a predator. Silently hoping that she was not a vampire hunter because I didn't want to have to end her life.

TBC!
