Hanabusa uneasily stepped into Kaname's dark office. He was sitting at his desk and a dark ominous aura appeared off of him. Hanabusa's stayed silent and he knew he would be punished severely for his actions. He didn't even know why the hunter bugged him so much. Maybe it was the close connection to Lord Kaname he always wanted or the way he looked at her, he didn't know but he certainly didn't like it.

Kaname's velvet words spoke through the darkness and straight into the aristocrats soul. "Hanabusa, I beileve we need to go over some matters again." Hanabusa trembled as the pureblood but as he made is way towards him but he wouldn't let Kaname know that. " Lord Kaname, this human girl has been nothing but a nusense since she arrived and now she's giving herself to any vampire, you have to kick her out."

Kaname looked at Hanabusa with flashes of anger in his eyes then he backhanded him across the face and before he could sat up, Kaname did it again and again and again. Hanabusa coughed up spirits of blood and tried to raise his head once more and his blue eyes looked into Kaname's red ones. "Now what did I say the last you were here Hanabusa?" Hanabusa didn't answer witch let to another blow from Kaname. "You said that if I laid a hand on Yuki or Rose that I would answer to you."

Kaname smiled a twisted smile and Hanabusa felt the room grow colder. 'Yes but you see we are back in the same spot. Did you honestly think I would be ok with you drinking anyone on the grounds?" Hanabusa weakly shook his head in response. "No, Lord Kaname."

Kaname lowered his eyes and sighed. Was he really going to do this? But if it was Rose wanted..."Hanabusa, this is your last warning from me. If I hear anything happen like this again then I will have no choice but to ask you to leave the academy and to never use the Kuran name again."

Hanabusa's eyes grew wide at this. Would he really risk losing an important trade partner because of one or two human girls? He must be serious about them. "Yes, Lord Kaname." But before Hanabusa could leave he had to ask one question which he knew probably wouldn't go very well. "Lord Kaname if I may ask, why did Rose's blood taste differently then others?"

He had been wondering this every since their fight in the woods. When is licked her face and when he bit her in the stairway the taste was so intoxicating and lustful that he couldn't get enough. It wasn't savory like any other human or vampires blood, it tasted sweet like a warm honey and it drove him absolutely mad. That is until he saw a glimpse of blood before she pulled away. It was like a dark burden that weighted on his shoulders as he heard whispers in the back of his head. He could make them out but they were still there, tormenting and haunting him. He didn't know what that meant but he was so sure something else was going on with the human.

Kaman's head whipped towards his and he heard the sound of Kaname's hand once more, this time with immense strength. Had he been holding back before? "Hanabusa if you ever ask that question again I will personally end you myself."

Hanabusa shook once more and slowly tried to back away from his waith. "I'm sorry Lord Ka..Kaname. It..wo..n't happen again." Kaname forcibly looked away and gritted through his teeth. "Good. Now leave, I need some time to myself." Hanabusa's quickly bowed his head and ran out of the room.

The next day Rose walked into class with her scarf wrapped around her neck to hide Adiou's bite marks. They were starting to heal but she didn't want to think Yuki to think anything was amiss. She greeted the students as usual and could feel the cold stare of Zero's on her back. Yuki must've told Zero about what happened yesterday which worried her.

The class began to ooh and ahh when a new teacher walked into the classroom and Rose stopped breathing for a second. Why the hell was Yagari here? She turned to look at Zero who had he mouth open in shock. Well Rose was in shock to because if he was here then nothing good could come out of it.

He lifted his head and stated. "Hello class, my name is Toga and Yagari and I will be your new english teacher. Now do any of you have any questions?" All of the girls in the class waved there hands up and down trying to ask Yagari various questions like are you single and have you kissed a girl?

Being the day class president ,Rose didn't want to draw anymore attention to herself but knew she had to stop this madness. She regretfully stood up out of her chair and everyone stopped talking. "Now, I know how excited you all must be but make sure you ask the new teacher one question each. We don't want to burn him out on his first day of teaching." She added a soft smile and the students melted into her hand. "Of course President!" She went to sit back down until she heard Yagari ask "Thank you,and who might you be?" Shit

Rose unwillfullly smiled at Yagari and stated. "Of course its not a problem. My name is Rose Belcourt and its a pleasure to meet you Mr. Yagari."

Yagari's eyes grew wide as he recognized the name. What it the same Rose?The Level S Hunter? But before Yagari could ask anything else, Zero abruptly stood up and walked out of the class. Everyone looked confused and Rose started to follow him. "I'm very sorry about that Mr. Yagari. I will go find him." And with that she ran out of the doors and caught up with Zero. She found him by the gates and paused when she saw Headmaster Cross.

It turned out that the Headmaster wanted Zero and Yuki to go complete some eriens and when he saw Rose he asked her to join them. She changed out of her uniform and put on something a little more comterable,after concealing her bow she followed the group into town.

They ended up in a little cafe and the edge of town where Yuki ordered a huge sundae. Zero didn't seem to pleased with the idea as he muttered. "I wanted noodle soup." Yuki felt instantly guilty and Rose grabbed a spoon full of ice cream and shoved it in his mouth. "Ahh come on Zero, don't be such a party pooper. There isn't it good?" Zero grumbled and swallowed the ice cream in silence. The whole Yargari thing must've really bugged him.

They heard a small voice and looked up to find a waitress smiling and pointing at Zero and Rose."Hello, Umm are you two from the night class at Cross Academy?" She took our silence as a yes and countiued "Oh you are aren't you? I knew it. You two just look so different from everyone else. Do you know a boy named Adiou? He come's in here sometimes and.."

Suddenly a loud banging could be heard on the desk as Zero stood up and walked out. Rose lifted her hand form the table and growled. "No I'm sorry but we are not like those lowlife's so if you would excuse me."

She then stood up and walked out with Yuki trailing behind her. They went around the corner to find that Zero was missing, only his bags were scattered around the floor. Yuki panicked and started to run towards the bags when Rose ran after her. "Yuki! What the hell are you doing?" Yuki looked back only slightly and cried "Zero's missing! We have to find him before...before.." Rose grabbed Yuki's shoulders and stopped her. "Yuki, you are going to get yourself killed if you separate yourself." Yuki shook her head and tried to run once when a large object came towards them.

Rose pushed Yuki out of the way and quickly put her bow in front of her. The creature jumped off it and landed on the ground. It gazed at them amusingly and cried. "Girl, you know your blood looks delious." Then he lunged toward Yuki but Rose beat him to it. She released an arrow which landed in his back and he turned towards Rose. "Hey ugly, why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

The Level E smirked and her and reacted its claws. "Challenge accepted."He ran at her with quick speed but Rose blocked his attack. He went to grab her ankle but she responded by grabbing his and pulling him down to the ground. She placed a foot on his chest as he gasped for air, laughing. "You can try all you want but the end is going to be the same. We will get the girl." Rose laughed sarcastically and dug her boot even further into his chest. "Well, isn't trying all the fun?" Then she released one last arrow causing the vampire to turn to dust beneath her feet.

She looked up to find Yuki shaking of fear and Zero standing beside her. "What was that thing?" Rose was about to answer when she heard someone behind her say "That Yuki, was a level E vampire. And I do have to say it was quite an honor seeing the famous Level S hunter in action."

Recognizing the voice she lowered her weapon and turned to Takuma and Senri. "Ichichjo, to what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" Takuma smiled and this and lifted his weapon. "Well I was going to exterminate that Level E but it seems that you beat me to it, Miss Rose." Yuki stepped in front of Zero and asked. "But why?" Tacoma smiled and slowly began to turn away. "Well if you want to find out then stop by the moon dormitories tonight, then I will tell you." Then before they could ask any thing else they were gone.

Later that evening Zero and Yuki decided to go to the moon dormitory to see what Takuma was talking about. Even through Rose hated the idea she knew she couldn't let the group go alone. They were walking when she heard a noise in the brushes and both Zero and Rose pulled out their weapons. Zero was when face to face with Kain while Rose was staring at the ice blue eyes of Hanabusa. He looked at her with interest and said. "You two are oftely rough."

Rose refused to lower she weapon while Yuki innocently asked. "Why are you here Hanabusa? Kain?" Kain sighed and stated "The vice present of our dorm asked us to escort you. Now will you to put that thing away its dangerous."

Zero and Rose exchanged looks and unhappily lowered there weapons, Rose still keeping hers to her side. When the vampire's realized that they weren't a threat Hanabusa walked in front of them and bowed. "Welcome to the moon dormitory, we will be your escorts." They started to follow them when Kain said. "Oh and Rose, Lord Kaname ordered us to escort you elsewhere."

Rose looked between the two vampires and narrowed her eyes. "And what makes you think I will listen?" Kain thought about this for a moment and stated. "He said something about using that condition you talked about."

Rose visibly swore under her breath. "Damn it." So that's so he was going to play huh. She turned to Zero and Yuki and gave them a apologetic smile. "Sorry guys but I'll catch up with you later." Zero was confused by her statement and as she was leaving he grabbed her hand. "Wait. What does Kaname have on you?"

Surprised by the touch Rose stood there for a moment before forcing him to let go. "It's alright Zero, its nothing I can't handle. I'm sure I'll see you soon." And with that she followed Kain into the dorm while Zero and Yuki stayed with Hanabusa.

The inside of the moon dorms were dimly lit and there were candles surrounded the various must've been a special occasion. She stopped when Kain pointed to door in the corner and said. "Just go right through there, I'll come get you when your done." She thanked Kain and slowly opened the door to revel three older woman smiling at her. "Hello Miss Rose..Lord Kaname has entrusted you to prepare tonight."

Then it clicked. So this was the condition? To have her dress up for something? Although she did think that this was a million times better then the other fifteen possibilities in her head. She reluctantly took a seat and let the old woman have her way with her.

When the last lady lady put the finishing touch on her she cried. "Oh just look at you! Lord Kaname will be very pleased!" She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She never thought she would look like this again anytime soon. So proper and polite, it really wasn't her thing. But if this was the only way to have Zero stay in the day class then so be it.

The ladies ruffled her skit and sighed. "There, you are ready! Oh I can't wait for everyone to see you Miss Rose!" Rose gave them a fake smile and thanked them for their efforts and walked back into the halfway.

She saw Kain's eye's deepen when he looked at her and she sighed. Kain regained his composer and cleared his throat "We should be going now Rose." Rose nodded her head and followed him out. He then pointed to a wooded clearing and said. "It's just through there." Rose nodded her head once more and walked into the clearing. There were lighted candles surrounding the space and she could make out the faint shape of people talking. When we got closer she realized that all of the Night Class was there, conversing in similar party dresses.

They all stopped talking when they noticed her presence and the room fell silent. Feeling super selfconcious she started to walk to the front when she heard Takuma's voice from the corner. "Whoa...Rose, you look magnificent!' Rose smiled and Takuma's and tried to ignore the eyes burning in the back of her skull. "Thanks Takuma but this wasn't really my idea."

She turned when she felt Kaname's presence behind her. "No, it was mine." She looked at him with confusion trying to figure out what his game was when he suddenly grabbed her hand "Come, sit with me." Rose tried to wiggle out of his grasp but she couldn't really while everyone was staring at her. "I don't think that's such a good idea Kaname." Kaname smiled and let Rose over to a sofa in the center of the ceremony. He then motioned her to sit witch she tried to ignore but his stern gaze said otherwise. She compiled and saw Zero and Yuki standing in the corner. Both of them looked confused and betrayed by the situation that was occurring and Rose felt awful. She wasn't her idea.

She jumped a bit when she felt Kaname's hand of her shoulder pulling her close to his chest. "You look beautiful, Rose. That dress fits you perfectly." What the hell has gotten into him today? He isn't being reserved at all.

He then turned to face Yuki and stated "To be honest, vampires who were once human shouldn't exist at all." Rose stiffened under his hand. What was he talking about? Zero and Yuki looked equally surprised and Kaname's statement but he continued "Many centuries along, in the dark ages of history, there was a time when the war between vampires and vampire hunters were mist violent. Many human's were focablly turned into vampires at that time to raise our numbers. Ever since that wrong has been committed it has been the duty of aristocrats to oversee the vampires that were once human."

He then grabbed Rose's hand and found her injury from the fight today and kissed her hand, healing her bruise with his powers. He sighed and said. "Even if it means ending there lives for another safely"

Suddenly Zero was standing in front of them with angry eyes. "It's the hunters job to take care of those vampires." Kaname glanced and Zero and smirked. "Then why didn't you kill that vampire in the square a few days ago?" Zero's eyes grew wide and Rose was worried that Kaname was taking this to far. "Kaname..."

But Kaname refused to listen and continued with his taunting. "Perhaps you sympathized it Zero?" With that Zero reached his breaking point and pulled his gun on Kaname and in the process had his body guard Siern aimed at Zero's neck. Rose rose out of her chair gazed at him with demanding eyes and shouted "Kaname,that's enough!"

Kaname looked at Rose and then back at Zero. "It's alright Seirn, I said something I shouldn't have." Seirn removed her hand and and reverted back to her position in the corner. Zero withdrew his gun but stopped when he smelled the sweet smell of blood everywhere. Looking around he found many vampire couples sharing there blood and Zero couldn't take it. He looked away from the group and ran into the forest path.

When he was gone Rose turned to Kaname with rage, she was beyond pissed. "What the hell is your problem Kaname?!" All of the vampires stopped and watched the scene almost lunged at Rose for the language she was using in front of their Prince. Kaname glanced at her and asked "I don't know what you mean Rose." Rose was livid, he knew that Zero would act that way and he did it anyway. She let lose her emotions and didn't care to sensor it since she was to angry to care. "Why are you all over me like you are in heat? And why did you say that to Zero when you knew he would act that way, and don't give me that I don't know bullshit."

Kaname couldn't come up with a reason why he said that to Zero. Truth betold he didn't like the way Zero looked at Rose before, It angered him. He looked at her and tried to calm her down "I am showing everyone how much you mean to me, Rose." Rose laughed sarcastically and tried to hide the faint blush rise up in her cheeks. "And you show that by calling Zero a monster? If that's your way of flirting then you need to get your brain checked. You know what, screw you Kananme."

Then before anyone could say anything Rose walked out into the woods where Zero was. Kaname sighed and ran his fingers through his hair in frustrated, One of the guests screamed as their glass shattered and Kaname regained his composer. "I'm sorry for my rudeness everyone, please enjoy the party."

Rose wandered the forest until she heard the long coughing and wheezing by the turned the corner and found Zero leaned against the railing with blood tablets in his hand. She quickly knelt beside him and asked "Zero? Take the tablets, you'll feel better." Zero struggled against the lust and grabbed her shoulders. "I can't...Iv'e tried over and over again but I can't."

Rose was shocked at he new information arising from him. He couldn't take a tablets? Why hadn't Kaname told me this?

Suddenly Zero drew her close and he warm breath was on her throat. He was going to bite her and normally she wouldn't care but yesterday's fiasco had left her a little scared. She could feel his touge lick her neck and she had to come up with something. That's when she saw the fountain behind them.

Using all of her strength she pushed him into the fountain with her. Slowly his eyes changed back from blood red and he realized what he was doing. He then grabbed her hand and lifted her out of the water. As she was coughing he looked at her with pleading eyes. "Rose, I'm so sorry. I almost did it to you again." She stopped coughing for a minute and smiled. "It's ok Zero. In fact I don't really care if you do it its just that...yesterday I kind of had a bad experience. But give me time and you can drink from me all you want." Zero looked horrified with this proposition and said. "No, I can't do that to you, never again." Rose smiled and and began to say something when she heard a click of a gun in the distance.

Her insticks took over and she pushed herself in front of Zero. She then felt an excruciating pain in her shoulder and looked up to find Yagari. Zero asked if she was ok but Rose pretended to laugh, she could have anyone know that she was in real pain then they would know she was a vampire. "Yagari, what the hell?!"

Yagari lifted his head and pointed his gun to Zero once more. "I didn't mean to hit you Rose, you just got in the way. Now, move aside so I can end this vampire." Rose limped over to Zero and put her arms in front of him. "No. I will not let you kill him."

Yagari couldn't believe want he was hearing. "Really? The girl who single handily killed a thousand vampires with no mercy is defending a Level E? I never thought I would see the day." Rose held her place and taunted "Yes, and if you want to kill him then you will have to kill me also."

Yagari clicked the safety off his gun and before he could fire he heard Headmaster Cross say "Wait no! You took it to far!" He then leaped on Yagari and shouted. "See, this is why I hate vampire hunters! I knew you would go to far!"

Zero and Rose jumped out of the pond all while Rose pretending that the shoulder wound was nothing, when in actuality she was going to pass out from blood loss soon. It turned out that Yargai was Zero's hunter teacher when he was younger which Rose already knew. After a bit of arguing everyone decided to revisit this topic tomorrow since we were shaking in our wet clothes.

Everyone started to leave except Rose who couldn't move without falling over in which Zero noticed. He glanced and her and said "Are you coming or what?" In which Rose responded with "Yeah, just go on without me, I'm going to look at the scenery a bit longer."

Zero looked back at the group and Rose was surprised when he put out his hand. "Here, I'll help you." Rose was flattered by the suggestion but still didn't take his hand because she still didn't trust herself. That was until Zero smiled and dragged her towards the dorms. The sudden motion caused Rose to tumble to the ground but not before Zero caught her. She was breathing heavily now and could barely keep it together. "Hey, are you ok?" Zero become worried and picked her up in his arms. "I'll go ask the Headmaster for help." Rose shook her head furiously. "No..Please no...Zero..please." She didn't want the headmaster to see her like this. Zero didn't know what to do, so he decided to bring her to the only place he knew would be safe, his bedroom.
