Last off on "What is This Feeling?" : "Rose, why won't you tell Kaname about yourself so you two can get to know each other." Karen commented with a grin. She sweat dropped, but answered softly,
"If he has time…"
"I finished all of my work for the day. I have all day." Kaman replied back to her.

She became somewhat shy after hearing his reply, but nodded her head as she answered back to him,
"Alright."
Headmaster and Yagari both left to finish up some of their work; they allowed both the Purebloods to have sometime to get to know one another. Rose decided to inform him of the practical things that worry people, but also her about her ambition and an item that she'll advise him that she isn't fond of others messing around with.
"Well… Where to begin? Um.. I learned to control my blood thirst at a very young age, so you need not be worry of that and I do well with the blood pills that the school gives us. Also, I harbor the same dream as Headmaster Kaien, to find peace between humans and vampires. A big dream yes, but I do believe we can reach that goal." Rose started off as a smile made her way to her lips,
"Lastly.. I'm very open, but I would like people to refrain themselves from touching my necklace." She added.
Sparking some curiosity into him, Kaname nodded his and looked over her attire and spotted a necklace. The design of the necklace contained two revolvers crossing one another, with a red rose between the two. The rose petals were clearly made from rubies and the chain was gold, just like the revolvers.
"A necklace. The necklace that you speak of, is it the one around your neck now?" He questioned.
Rose nodded her head and stated,
"My grandfather passed this necklace to me when I was 10 years old. He informed me that it was passed down from all the Pymore women in our line. Since I'm the youngest, I am now the holder of the necklace."
Glancing at her necklace and making note of the design, Kaname gave Rose a small smile.
"I see. I'll make sure everyone is informed about how you feel about your family heirloom," he commented as he stood up from his seat, "I do hope you have a great first day in the Night class dorm."
Before making his way to the stairway, he added,
"Our vice president, ichijou, will show you around the dorms. Have a good day to you Rose."
Watching him leave she could not help, but blush slightly.
"Well that went well~" She thought. Rose patiently waited for the vice president to come show her around.
"Ms. Pymore?" a voice from behind called out. Turning her head around, she smiled seeing a young man with his arms to side, who was smiling at her direction.
"Ah! You must be Ichijou, thank you for taking your time to escort me around." She said politely.
"The pleasure is all mine Ms. Pymore." he replied while bowing before, "shall we begin the tour?"
Walking side by side, Ichijou began to inform her that she was allowed to roam freely, respecting the privacy of Kaname, and to prepare to gather with all the students to head to class. Raising a brow at this rule, she questioned him,
"Why must we be together to go to class?"
Ichijou chuckled a bit,
"If we were to head to class alone, the Hunter Association would believe we were actually sucking the blood of the human students instead of educating ourselves, plus it is a hassle to go around the school when the human students surround us many times." He informed.
Embarrassed that she didn't think of those reasons as to why they would be protected brought a hint of a pale shade of pink to her cheeks. Coming to the end of the tour, they now stood in front of a dorm room.
"Last, but not least, your room Ms. Pymore." Ichijou said. Rose smiled at him and thanked him for his escort around the dorm.
"I do hope you have a superb stay with us." He commented. Before leaving Rose's sight, she held his wrist lightly, stopping him from moving.
"Ichijou, please call me Rose, no need for the Ms. or for you to say my last name only. We're classmates correct?" Rose said to him. Looking back at the young Pureblood, Ichijou gave her a bright smile and nodded his head.
"Of course… Rose."
Rose watched him leave from her sight and smiled. Entering her room, Rose began placing everything in its place since it was obvious she was going to be alone in the room. There was only one bed.
Few days later…
After a couple of days, Rose was able to bond with many people in the dorm, she even created some friendships and discovered an old one as well. Akatsuki knew Rose since she was little, his parents and Rose's use to have dinner many times over her place; so he was left to play with Rose many times, but he didn't mind because of Rose's bright and fierce personality. When they found out that they now go to the same school, they were surprise at first, but soon enough became happy. On a weekend, Rose slept an entire day and didn't even wake up from the sounds of footsteps or talking from the outside. People who bonded with her were slightly worried, but brushed it off as her resting up her powers and energy. Unlike the rest though, Akatsuki knew the truth behind her slumber on this day and kept staring at the clock on the wall even though he had a book in his hand. Aido began to worry a bit about his cousin. He voiced his concern by blaming it on the new student residing their dorm.
"I'm telling you! That girl probably did something, I don't know what, but she probably bewitched him or something." Aido hissed to the person near him. Some people were actually considering what he was saying until Akatsuki directed his gaze to them. Seeing his sharp gaze, they all gulped when they took notice his eyes narrow. Akatsuki slowly made his way to them, the people around Aido glared at him, but he just ignored them and kept his eyes on his cousin.
"Aido… If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut before spouting out nonsense. Rose… Rose is an old family friend. Leave her be, this is common since, out of her entire family, she receives a flashbacks of her family past history." Akatsuki retorted. Aid bit his lip and remembered the dark history of the Pymore family. He confirmed the rumor of Rose not knowing about her family past by just looking at her. Her eyes held a light to them compared to the other members of her family. The dark past of the Pymore line was never to be talked about since many could not fathom the mere thought of it. Aido could now understand why Akatsuki was protective of the crimson hair girl. She was kept in the dark about her family past.
Rose woke up when the sunset, she decided to go for a walk and to rest more later on. As she walked out the gates everything was quiet and calm. The only sounds that can be heard are the sounds of birds chirping from the trees. Rose kept a normal pace, her mind was on her family and was becoming slightly concern on her sleeping pattern during certain days. As the path began to darken from the lack sun, she walked much slower then usual, she felt something… someone following her. Instead of fear clouding her mind, it was anger of someone underestimating her and her power. Calming herself down, she called the person out,
"Come out. I know you're following me."
Seeing a shadow near a tree, she prepared herself for an ambush, but became slightly flush seeing it was Kaname Kuran. He stood tall and unfazed by her calling him out.
"K-Kaname! I wasn't expecting to see you around here." Rose stammered. It was nearly impossible for her to calm herself down in the inside, but luckily outside she remained calm. Kaman looked her over and a tiny smile was form.
"I was told that you left your room, so I just wanted to make sure you were doing just fine and all." He explained. Rose smiled at his words,
"Thank you for being concern, but I'm fine. I just wanted to walk around for a bit that's all. I'm sorry for causing some worry." She replied.
"I see… Well I better head off. Stay out of trouble Rose." He said.
"Will do." She giggled at his last comment. Kaname left her to herself, but while walking his eyes drifted up to look at the night sky.
"After getting a good look now, she's a complete replica of her, but they're from opposite spectrums." Kaname thought. He smirked and spoke out loud,
"Interesting… This is going to be very interesting."
The next morning, Yagari was informing Headmaster Kaien about the news that the Vampire Hunter Association passed down to him. There was an increase of level E's in the area and they were not happy about it.
"Kaien… Ever since that new Pureblood came to this school trouble began to arise and now this is worst one we have to deal with." Yagari commented with a grim face.
"Aren't you a little bit suspicious about her in the least?" He asked. Karen folded his hands, placed his chin on top of it and looked up at Yagari.
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't, but after getting to know her more now… She's harmless… To the humans at least." Karen answered. Yagari narrowed his eyes and set down in a nearby chair.
"Well what do you suppose is the cause of the increase?" questioned Yagari. Headmaster Kaien sighed and replied,
"Have you heard of a Pureblood named Ru-"
