Rose woke up in a cold sweat and frantically looked around the room. She had won this time but next time she wasn't so sure.

She quickly ran and changed into her uniform and went to class, composted and smiling. She walked to her seat and noticed the students a bit more riled up then usual, that was when someone she knew as Yumi approached her. "Good morning President! Do you know who you are going to give chocolates to tomorrow?"

Rose stopped and squinted her eyes in confusion. "Chocolates?"

The girl shook her head excitedly in response and smiled "Yes! Tomorrow is St. Xocolatl's day which means that girls give chocolate to the guy they like."

Rose nodded her head in understanding and smiled. "Oh I see. Well I don't think I will be handing any chocolates out this year." The people around her turned depressed as Rose walked past the students.

She stopped when she saw Yuki reading something at her desk. "Good Morning Yuki, What do you have there?"

Yuki quickly jumped and hid her reading material with her arm. "Oh! Hi Rose! Umm you know nothing really?"

Rose carefully removed Yuki's arm and found a cookbook. "Oh! This? This is nothing. I was just thinking about giving Kaname something to show my appreciation."

Rose smiled in understanding. "Ah I see, you are going chocolate crazy also?"

Yuki nodded her head in embarrassment and noticed Zero walk past them. "Good Morning Zero, and who may I ask are you giving chocolates to?"

Zero sat down in his seat and gave Rose a death glare. "I don't do that stupid holiday."

Just then Yuki slid next to her and smirked. "He's just grumpy because he never get's any chocolates." Zero glared and Yuki and she quickly sucked back into her seat.

Just then the professor came into the room and everyone quieted down.


After classes it was time for the switch as Rose met up with Zero and Yuki. The day class was even worse now and everyone was pushing and shoving there way to try to get closer to the door. Rose got into position as the doors opened and the night class came out.

They floated past the students without problem, that is until Kaname turned back around and approached Zero. He spoke smoothly and smiled. "How are you feeling, Zero?"

Zero's eyes grew wide and he clenched his fists together. Rose saw this a gave Kaname a warning look.

Kaname complied and turned back around but not before he heard Zero say "You want to test me? Because I'm ready any time, Kaname."

Kaname glanced over his shoulder and smirked at Zero's challenge while the other night class students were repulsed by the hunters behavior, especially Hanabusa.

But before Hanabusa could attack him Kain grabbed his arm and pulled them along.


Rose walked up to the headmasters office and opened the large creaking door. She wanted to talk to him about some matters but stopped when she heard a loud crash come from the room next door.

Having curiosity get the best of her Rose followed the sound and was surprised to find Yuki crawling on the floor. "What are you doing Yuki?"

Yuki heard the sound and quickly picked her head up but instead found herself hitting her head on the counter. The sweet smell of blood filled the air and Rose tried to ignore its pull. She needed to get this cleaned up before Zero walked in.

She quickly walked over to Yuki and tabbed and wet cloth on the wound, causing the scent to disappear. "Are you ok Yuki? What are you doing?"

Yuki looked up and Rose and gave her a goofy smile. "Yeah I'm ok! It takes more then a counter to stop me! Oh, and I was just trying to make some chocolates to thank Kamane, since he saved my life and all."

Rose smiled at her gesture and thought that Kaname was really lucky to have someone like Yuki.

But her smile quickly dropped when she saw what was in the bowl beside her. "Umm Yuki? I am not a chocolate expert but I am pretty sure that this isn't chocolate.

" Yuki hung her head in shame and grumbled. "Yeah I know, its just that this recipe is really hard."

She lifted up the book so Rose could see and sighed. Rose glanced at the recipe and grabbed an apron that was sitting next to her and smiled. "I think I can fix that."

Then she found some new ingredients and started to mix and pour the newly made chocolate into a pan. Yuki was amazed at Rose's talent. She didn't know she could cook, heck she didn't really know much about the girl at all. "Wow Rose! Your so great at cooking!"

Rose looked up at Yuki and smirked. "Yes well, I have picked up a few things through the years."

Yuki sat down in the chair next to her and watched Rose's back stir the mixture. She then laughed to herself and said. "You know, I don't really even know that much about you, Rose."

Rose's back turned stiff and she abruptly stopped mixing the batter. Yuki was confused by the silence and looked back at Rose and could read her facial expression since her back was turned. Then just as it started, Rose returned to the batter and laughed. "You know Yuki, you really should stop asking such dangerous questions."

Yuki turned her head in confusion and asked. "What?"

But Rose turned around with a smile on her face and winked. "There! All done. Now you won't poison Kaname with your chocolate."

Yuki quickly brushed off her previous comment and grinned. "Thanks Rose! You really are a live saver!"

Then she pointed towards a set of chocolates in the corner. "Here, you take these. Such you worked so hard and all. Maybe give them to your crush."

Rose blushed slightly and turned away from Yuki. "Wha-what are you talking about? I don't have a crush."

Yuki smired at Rose's response and shrugged. "Ok, sure. I don't believe you but sure."

Rose grinned and playful slapped Yuki on the arm. "Oh shut up."

The girls then looked at each other and giggled wildly.

The next day was St. Xocolatl's day and everyone was excited. Rose had received a significant amount of chocolates from other students and now it was the dreaded part of the the day. The switch.

Yuki had decided to set up stations for each night class member to receive chocolates which was a pretty smart idea if you asked Rose.

The doors opened and everyone lined up at there gates. Rose was watching the scene carefully and watched Kaname approach her. "Good afternoon Rose, you are giving any chocolates out this year.?" Argh! He was so cocky sometimes.

But of course she instead response with a generic answer. "No, I don't think so Kaname."

Kaname's face fell for a spilt second but quickly molded back into shape. "Oh I see, that is quite disappointing."

Then he turned he back and began to walk away but before he could he heard Zero say "Kananme, catch."

Kaname turned at caught the little white box that Zero threw. He looked at the box and smiled internally. "I will accept it, thank you Yuki."

Yuki smiled nervously as she watched Kaname walk away with her chocolates.


When the day class students were out of sight Serian appeared beside Kaname and said. "Lord Kaname, I will take those."

Kaman nodded his head and gave Serian all of the chocolate except the small white box in his left hand. "You can have them all, this is the only one I want."

He then brought the white box and smelled her scent on it. He knew that Yuki had made these chocolates with Rose's help and that meant that this was one of the most precious items in the world.

Serian bowed her head and Kaname continued to walk to class.


Zero was patrolling the grounds when he saw movement out of the corner of his eye. He quickly drew his gun. He looked up and found himself face to face with the night class students. "What do you want, night class?"

The night class gritted there teeth and Hanabusa spoke first. "You are cocky, Zero Kiryu."

Then Ruka stepped forward and added. "Your just a human, and yet your attitude towards Lord Kaname is..."

Then Rima stepped forward and asked "Are we really doing this? Takuma said not to."

Then Kain stepped in front of everyone and said. "He's right, if Kaname found out then we would be done for, Zero just put away the gun and..."

But as Kain tried to touch Zero's arm he took Kain's gesture as a threat and threw him on the ground. The night class began to step closer when they heard a whooshing sound pass them.

They turned to find Rose standing by the trees with an annoyed expression. "Stop this. Go back to your classes."

The night class looked at each other in response and shrugged. Hanabusa waked closer to her and gritted his teeth. "Now what makes you think you can tell us what to do, Miss Day Class President?"

Rose shrugged and pulled out another arrow. "I don't know, but you are stepping on dangerous ground, Hanabusa. Kaname wouldn't be pleased."

This set Hanabusa off. "It's Lord Kaname! You are just a filthy human so you should be able to understand when someone is of higher class then you!"

Rose shrugged once more and looked at Hanabusa. "I understand, I just chose to ignore it."

Hanabusa was about to snap and everyone could see so by the ice starting to spread on the ground. "You ungrateful human! The way you talk to Lord Kaname is unforgivable! You need you be taught a lesson. You know what, forget Kiryu. I want you."

Then he leaped forward and rushed towards Rose who easily dodged his advance. She quickly pulled out and arrow and aimed it for his leg. She let go of the arrow and realized that Hanabusa had frozen it in a block of ice.

This is starting to become bad. Rose knew she couldn't physically hurt the aristocrat but she also knew she couldn't let him kill her. No one knew about her so she hoped that quick thinking could get her through this.

She saw an opportunity and aimed her arrow for his arm. She let go and this time the arrow was to fast for him to block and grazed Hanabusa's arm. He grunted in pain and Rose realized that maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

He turned on her a send a pile of sharp ice spikes towards her. She felt herself fall into the tree behind her and felt the dripping red liquid pour down her face.

She looked at Zero who was having problems controlling himself with the blood and when she looked back she saw Hanabusa's cold eyes. "How strong are you now, Miss smart mouth?"

He then leaned forward and licked some of the dripping blood on her face. She cringed at the touch but it didn't last long as she pushed him back with a hidden knife.

He spat out chucks or blood and Rose stood up, feeling slightly dizzy from the lose of blood. They were about to run at each other again until they heard Yuki call "Alight! That's enough! Go back to your classes."

The night class looked at Yuki and sighed. "Well now that she's here, its become boring. Come guys." Hanabusa looked towards the group and sighed.

Then he dusted off his coat and turned his back on Rose.


After everyone was gone Yuki ran over to Rose and asked if she was ok. Rose quickly nodded her head yes and grabbed Zero, pulling him deeper into the forest.

She knew that if Yuki had seen Zero like this then it would raise some questions. Question's she didn't really want to answer.

She pulled him to a patch of trees, far away from Yuki and watched him cough on the ground. Her

heart broke when she saw him like that and she knew she had to do something. "Zero, You can have mine, so stop suffering."

Zero's head whipped to her's and she saw blood red eyes staring back at her. "Rose? No I can't, no,no,no."

Rose sighed at realized that he wasn't going to give in so she bit her arm, grabbed Zero, and pushed her now bloody lips onto his.

His eyes wided at this action and he tried to pull away until he tasted the sweet intoxication of her blood on her lips. It was absolute bliss and he wanted nothing more then to drink every last drop. He removed his lips from her and forcibly shoved her against the his mouth went directly to her neck and he bit into her, sucking every once that he could.

Rose was relived that his pain had stopped and realized that he was probably going to drink her dry, but she was ok with that. Even if she had died right there she would've been happy. Her eyes closed as she fell unconscious.

Finally when Zero removed himself from her, she slumped on the ground causing Zero to panic. Had he killed her? No no no!

He began to shake her until he heard a voice behind him say. "She isn't dead."

Zero turned to find Kaname staring at him with intense hatred. "You just drank every last bit of her blood. Was it that delicious, Zero?."

Zero looked at Rose mortified at what he had done. He then buried his head in his hands and shook his head.

Kamane looked at Zero in disgust and then carefully picked up Rose bridal style and turned back towards the dorms.

After Zero was out of sight he gazed at Rose with a sorrowful expression and sighed. "What am I going to do with you, Rose?"
