The door creaked open with a slight uncertainty. "Come in." Said a loud voice from the other side of the brown oak. Ichijou slowly walked into the room and stood before the Lord of the Purebloods, Kaname Kuran.

Kaname raised his head slightly and spoke with a commanding voice."I need you to do something for me Ichijou."

Ichijou smiled at Kaname's question and bowed his head in compliance. "Of course Lord Kaname, whatever you need."

Kaname slowly got up from his sofa and carefully walked across the room. "The activity around the academy is becoming more troublesome, especially during the day. More security is needed."

He then stopped at the Chess board a pulled out a new piece and held it in his hand. "I need you to find someone for me."

Ichujou listened in Kanane's instructions and left the room on his orders.

After he was gone Kaname put the new piece up to his lips and kissed it softly. Then he placed it with the other pieces on the board while whispering. "I suppose you will also play a part in this game, my rook."


Another day had past in Cross Academy and Yuki and Zero walked down the hall into the head masters office. This was a normal occurrence seeing as their adoptive father was always craving attention.

They opened the door and were surprised to see a new face starting back at them.

Suddenly the headmaster appeared smiling and waving like crazy. "Yuki! Zero! You're here and just in time! I would like you to show around a new student, maybe bring her to the switch."

The girl turned around a smiled warmly. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Rose Belcourt."

The girl extended her hand which Yuki shook happly and then turned to Zero but he did not return the gesture.

Noticing the awkward silence the Headmaster quickly opened a drawer and pulled out a white and red band. "Now, starting today Rose here will take on the role of the president for the Day Class and as the newest member of the disciplinary committee."

Yuki was shocked by this development. "The Day Class President?"

Rose shook her head softly and smiled. "Yes, since the Night Class has taken on a President it should only seem fair to have a Day Class also have a President."

Yuki agreed with Rose's statement but Zero wasn't having any of it. "I understand that but why does she have to be a disciplinary member?! She looks completely useless."

Rose's smile dropped and she took a step closer to the hunter. "Are you saying that because I am a girl that I can't protect this academy, Zero? Then I'm sorry to disappoint but I am fully capable of guarding this school."

She then turned to the Headmaster and sighed. "Would you mind if I relax in my room for a bit? The plane ride was very tiring."

The Headmaster nodded his head and pointed to the door. "Of course, but make sure you are back for the switch so that Yuki and Zero can teach you what to do."

Rose nodded her head and walked out of the room.

As Rose walked down the long hallway she sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. What had she gotten herself into?


A few short hours later the Rose walked into the court yard to where she was met with a hundred screaming girls.

She turned her head and found Yuki waving her arms around like crazy.

Rose smiled and walked up to her as she said. "Rose! I'm glad you found us! The door are about to open, now what you need to do is..."

Before Yuki could say another word the doors of the moon door opened and the girls next to her went crazy.

She turned to Yuki but found her already trying to push the fangirls back, and failing. Rose turned to found group of men and woman in white uniforms approaching them.

One of them was waving and smiling and enjoying all of the attention while others were just trying to get past.

Rose suddenly felt herself get shoved to the ground by one of the girls as she landed by a pair of black shoes.

She stood up slowly and found herself face to face with the bondle man. He smirked and grabbed her hand. "Oh? And who are you my angel? Iv'e never seen you before, are you new?I'm Hanabusa Idio"

Before Rose could respond she heard a low voice behind him say "Hanabusa."

Hanabusa froze and turned to Kaname who stopped in front of Rose. "You must be Rose. It's a please to meet you. My name is Kaname Kuran."

Rose squinted at the president and scoffed. "Yes, I know who you are K-a-n-a-m-e. The headmaster told me quite a bit about you."

Kaname smiled and sighed. "Did he? Well I suppose that is good then. Have a nice day... Rose."

Then then turned away and continued to walk down the path. Rose quickly turned away from Kananme and started to walk away until she saw Zero sitting by himself.

Rose took in a breath of courage and went to over to sit next to him. "Hey, Zero? I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I suppose I was just tired from the long flight."

Zero glanced up and sighed at the girl before him. "I don't really care about what you think of me." Then he stood up and began to walk away until Rose said. "Wait!"

He slowly turned around and saw her looking at her feet. "I wanted to let you know that if you need anything. And I mean anything. I will help you. I'm not afraid of you Zero."

Zero's eye grew wide from shock but then he quickly brushed it off and turned away from the girl. "I don't need your help."

When he was gone Rose slumped down onto the ground and frustratingly punched the ground. "Ahh that was so stupid! What the hell am I even doing?"


The next day Rose was introduced to the class and everyone immediately took a liking to her. They all crowded around her desk and giggled wildly asking various questions like, "Why are you so pretty?" "Where are you from, You don't look Japanese." and "Is it true you are the new Class President?"

Rose smiled at all of the students and explained. "Yes I am not Japanese. I am actually English but I have spend quite a lot of time in Japan over there years, and yes I am going to be your new President. I hope you don't mind."

The class squealed in excitement until the Professor started class.


After class had ended Rose stood up to leave but Yuki stopped her. "Hey, where are you going? The next class is about to start soon."

Rose glanced at Zero who was also interested in her answer and sighed. "I am on the disciplinary committee so when you two have class I go patrol the grounds." Then, without a word she walked out of the class room and into the court yard.

Everything was eerily quiet as she stepped into the woods. She heard a rustle behind her and quickly pulled out her bow and swung it on her attacker. "I already know your there so you don't you come out and play, vampire."

Suddenly a patched of gray smoke formed into an older man. He grinned and in the process showed his sharp fangs. "Oh what a scary little girl. How about this? I wouldn't rip your heart out if you tell me where the girl is."

Rose smirked at this a spun her bow around in her fingers. "Hmmmm now that is an interesting offer but I have a better one."

Then she grabbed an arrow from her pouch and pointed it at the creature. "I won't kill you if you run away right now with your tail between your legs. So what will it be ,Level E? "

The vampire pretended to think and then lunged towards the Rose with the intend to kill. She quickly dodged and let go of her arrow, which grazed the beast.

He howled in pain and clutched his arm as Rose let another arrow fly, this time pinning him to the ground.

She slowly walked over to him and aimed an arrow at this heart. "Now, you really should've taken my offer."

The level choked on his blood as he spat "I can sense it you know, you are just like me." Rose's eyes widened and she whispered "You are wrong."

The vampire tried to laugh but coughed out blood in the process. "No, I am not. Even if you want to deny it you can't because you know, oh you know that you are..."

Suddenly Rose let go of the arrow and the man turned to dust around her. She slowly got up and wiped a bit of blood off of her cheek while saying. "I know your there, Zero."

Zero stepped out from the tree and caustically walked over to Rose. "What did he mean? When he said you were like them?"

Rose smirked and laughed sarcastically. "Are you really going to take a crazed Level E serious? Half of his words meant nonsense."

She then wiped the blood off of her arrow and placed it back into her pouch. "So, do you still think I can't handle myself Mr. Hunter?"

Zero looked away in response. "The way you fought right now, You were trained."

Rose placed her hands on her hips and shrugged. "Yes, some people might even classify me as a Level S Hunter but I don't do labels."

Zero was shocked. If she was a Level S hunter then that meant that she was one of the highest ranked hunters in the association. The best of the best.

He was interrupted out of his thoughts when he heard her say. "I meant it you know, what I said earlier. If you need my help with anything just ask."

She started to walk past him but Zero was confused by want she meant. "What does that mean?"

Rose looked over her shoulder and shrugged. "It can mean whatever you want it to mean, Zero."


Later that night Rose walked up the steps to the moon dormitory and knocked on the door. Hanabusa answered the door and was surprised to see Rose standing there. "Hello, Hanabusa is it? I need to discuss some things with Kaname if you don't mind."

Hanabusa was annoyed by this girl. First she had spoken rudely to Lord Kaname and now she wanted to meet with him. Unacceptable!

But of course if Lord Kaname wanted to meet with her then he could do nothing to stop it. "I'll show you to him, and its President Kuran."

Rose stepped into the room and shrugged. "I don't do labels so I will call him whatever I choose,Hanabusa."

Idol was furious about this, he walked in anger towards the Lord Kuran's room all while passing an unhappy set of vampires watching the scene.

Rose ignored there stares and knocked on Kaname's door. His voice answered on the other side and she entered his room. Hanabusa followed them and stood in front of the door, watching the conversation.

"Hello Kaname. I believe we met before. I wanted to discuss about the budget for this semester."

Kananme smiled in response and glanced at Hanabusa. "Yes, of course. And Adiou? You may leave."

Hanabusa bowed his head and reluctantly left the room.

Once his foot steps were no longer heard Rose slammed the reports on the table and gave a frustrated sighed. "Why the hell didn't you tell me Zero was here?"

Kaman stood up out of his seat and sighed. "If you knew, you wouldn't have come."

Rose placed around the room and threw her hand in the air. "Damn right I wouldn't have come! Everything I look at his face I feel like crap."

Kaname turned his head to the side. "Is it because you still feel guilty?"

Rose looked down in response and rolled her eyes. "You know my feelings Kaname."

Kaman walked closer to Rose and pulled her into a hug. "I do. You know, I really missed you, Rose."

Rose pushed him away and scoffed. "Oh don't give me that sentimental crap."

Kaman looked out the window in sadness. "You know when you say that, it hurts me deeply. But I do believe that you would have came here even if you knew Kiryu was here."

Rose walked over to the Chess board and she played with the Rook Piece. " Your right, I'm here because we share the same goal."

She then smashed the chess piece into dust as she looked at Kaname with blood red eyes. "To kill the one who destroyed our lives."
