~November 1st~

Another day. . .
Another time. . .
Another life. . .

Just the usual, but something felt awfully wrong about today. Something is not right that is shouldn't feel this way. The aura around this air is a little tensed, a little. . .

…Abnormal?

Or is it just a feeling? Could it be a false belief from him? Ignoring the small pulsation that is found in his chest, or stomach. It tells him, begging for something that is need to be filled into his digestive dumpster.

Boiling slowly in a low heat temperature. . .
It needed something. . .
Something so delicious. . .
Mouth-watering. . .
A meal that you cannot stay away from. . .


It was another reaction, happened more than two times. At first, he only felt it once on one day. Then it bubbled twice on the next.

Is he being fed?

Of course he is. . .

He's been taking blood tablets now. After the incident, a few months ago, it was when she left. She left to go live as far away with other bloodsuckers and her non-related brother, or fiancee' he should say. Denying the fact that they are together now, Zero still can't believe it.

It really hurts him that he's still going to the Cross Academy, noticing that Yuuki's presence still lingers around the school grounds. The fact that she is one of them, sinking her teeth onto the Kuran's flesh was like if he was a meal to her. He knew that Kuran Kaname is going to be the biggest problem to him, especially dragging the one he loves to be a vampire. Suffering to take a life on being the world's dangerous mythical predator and she's not even upset with that fact.

How much Zero tried not to let her be one of them, she's still chose Kaname over him. All the things that Zero had done for her, all of that trust he built with her is just gone. All shattered until is nothing but broken glass pieces that cannot be glued back together.

Nothing

The bond cannot be the same as before. Her words, the human Yuuki who he once knew is dead, eaten by the vampire Yuuki. He will never forgive Yuuki for taking that risk. No matter what, he will destroy all Purebloods, even if the one he loved is a pale face. Because that girl he knew made the wrong choice, he will hate her for that.

Basically, he's feeling a bit odd. And it gets even weirder and weirder everyday.

[2nd opening]

Birds chirping, light shines through black curtains, and feeling as cold as ever. One thing he hates about, snapping his bright lavender lazily as another burning day comes when he feels completely unusual. His vision was a blur, vaguely looked around his dark room that is nothing like an ordinary male's room. Just plain and dull.

Morning

Sun rousing by the disturbing bright shining light is an alarm clock for him. He wouldn't need any mechanical devices to wake this beast up, guessing that Mother Nature is his call; how much he hates it so much with that kind of a morning attitude. He rather not dare look at the time, knowing that everyday he wakes up is six o'clock sharp when the burning sun radiates the world.

His head hurts, the boiling in his body is already heating up. The vibration growled through his throat of a throb came.

Ba-thump. . .!

The gray haired teenager jolts from his laying position,his slender hands gripping onto the place where his heart beats. Groaning, panting, even gritting onto his keen fangs that is already been drawn out in an early morning like this.

Zero stumbles out of his bed, his thin blanket falls after him, tangling around his knees to stay in bed and rest some more. Thinking that his bed is awfully big, he couldn't find no soft area for him to lay on with jolts of hunger is needed in his stomach. His shirtless self felt the hard wood floor, breathing in a steady pace as his cold heart keeps on twisting for the pure red liquid is needed in his system.

After from what happened when he's about to fall to Level E, the thoughts about this would maybe go away. But no, it's gotten even worse.

What is this sudden reaction to him? He is sure that he ate enough of blood tablets to make himself ease down a bit, but it seems that it wasn't enough.

How come it didn't fully work?

"Zero-kun. . .?"

The familiar voice rang through his painful head. Finally, he caught himself in a lonely farmhouse with peaceful horses lying beside him.

He blinked once and then twice to turn his body around and see her best friend standing at the entrance.

"Wakaba," Zero said, flatly, "What are you doing here?"

The short haired girl took a few steps forward, kicking small twigs of hair under her feet."You're still skipping class?"

Zero still continue to make a scowl, turning away to still be lying down.

Of course he will be skipping classes for this kind of stuff to be killing time. Too tired or too nostalgic for him to sit in class and stare at the empty chair where she used to take naps during a lecture.

"You didn't answer my question," getting irritated so quickly, he rather not taken a glance at her. Knowing how many memories that this best friend of hers reminds him so many times that he spent in this academy."What are you doing here?"

Emphasizing the word 'what', getting much more impatient with his occasion that is about to become a bother to him.

"Just to check if you still remember her."

"I'm sorry, Chairman. . .," whispered a girl,b owing her very low out of disappointment."I promise that I will never do it again."

"Ayyyee!" the irritated Kaien held his clutched fist before him."Food fights are such a habit to you teenagers! What's next? Swirls and atomic wedgies?"

"This academy is becoming too much of a regular high school in those old movies with football games and cheerleaders. Even I was the one who has to sit on the bleachers with math textbooks in my hands and play with chemistry sets, or was it history. . .who knows?"

Once he looked up from his thinking spot, the girl's figure had crawled away out of his office already.

'Sneaky girl. . .' he growled in his head, crossing his arms as he eyed the resting vampire hunter on his lumpy couch.

"I can't believe that you're easily distracted for two seconds and let a child off the hook," he groaned, sitting up of the annoyance coming from only one chairman in this school.

Kaien fake cried."Toga-saaan~. . .! And you really didn't stop the girl~?"

"You want me to be the chairman then?"

"Okay, I'm good," he quickly answered before things get really ugly.

While the Head Chairman kept on grinning, the disturbed Yagari sat up from his laying position.

For four months, nothing really exciting is had came up from the anti-vampire Zero from his guarding duties at night, alone. Things are now boring and quiet since the former daughter of Kaien's had ran away with the other Night Class group. The air around the school seemed more relax, and not to mention, too interminable for Zero to take. He had tried running away once, but gladly that Yagari had stopped him and found something better for Zero to kill time at night, if there isn't much vampires breaking out of their classes to taste the students' flesh. Other than drinking other people's blood, he supposed. His taste from Yuuki still lies in his soft taste buds.

His task for Zero really did help the two of them a lot. You don't see the silver hair teenager complaining about it. It's his only chance to get rid of most vicious bad vampires in this world.

The skilled ranked hunter took a stroll around the Chairman's office. Too lazy to step outside of the cold air out of the building, getting a cold will be reckless.

The thought about of four months had pass, his eyes caught on one thing on the Head Master's desk. Kaien seemed interested in Yagari's sight, following his gaze upon a small frame. He smiled at the photograph, sighing gently of the precious memories four months ago of the incident. Or probably thinking back much longer than that when she was an orphan child.

"I haven't spoken to Yuuki from the last time I saw her, "Kaien started, sitting back in his rolled chair as Yagari picked up the dusty photograph.

Rubbing the frame with his sleeves to get the image clear enough, Yagari studied as long as he like."Why would she choose such a life?"

Kaien shook his head in disapproval."She didn't chose it, Kuran Kaname did. To make her remember who she is without scary flashbacks kills in her brain cells."

"Ah," he replied, setting the frame down."She was quite something."

"Yeah . . . she is."

The subject of Yuuki made the two vampire hunters' minds is filled with flashbacks of her. Especially, it cuts too deep for the headmaster, that's for sure. Leaving to get away from one vampire hunter who Yuuki loved will strike her down and get revenge from all Purebloods. Having two prefects become one.

"How does that make you feel right now?" the one eyed hunter asked suddenly, turning his body around to face a different direction."Watching your own daughter, walking away out of your life and leave you to suffer the memories that you've had with her? Do you still miss her? Do you. . ."

Then he glanced back to give a serious expression and continued.". . . regret for her disappearance?"

So far, it was already too much. These questions he's asking is making the Headmaster in profound thinking, mental state. Visualizing every moment, every image about her features made him feel like a real father. The fact of her becoming a bloodsucking predator is most shocking thing that he wouldn't want her to be.

A vampire.

Knock-knock. . .!

"I hear someone out the door~!" the chairman sang, changing the mood in this atmosphere full of depression and yearning emotions.

Red vein popped on the hunter's head."You really don't get much of a melancholy emotion, do you?"

"Please come in!" Kaien insisted, sitting back in his old chair as Yagari stand perfectly still beside his desk.

It only took a moment, hearing the doorknob twisting as the door creaked only an inch open. The two hunters actually thought it might be a really nervous person who might be in deeply big trouble this time, unlike the other student who first started a food fight during lunch. Surprisingly, it's a girl who did it.

The two of them spot a head of a young girl who sticks her head out of the half opened door.

"Uhh, hello," she greeted shyly."I hope I didn't interrupt anything. You know, something important."

She had brown brunette hair that hits the middle of her back with short bangs covering her whole forehead above her big deep blue eyes. She had really light cream skin. Maybe a height of five feet and one hundred pounds will be on a mental scale.

"Ah-hah. . .! You must be the new student," said Kaien in amazed, smiling widely."Come in, come in! What can be the problem?"

The sweet girl had more confident in her to show herself in the Headmaster's office by stepping inside, closing the door behind her.

"Sorry to barge in all of a sudden to make you stop with all of your hard work," she began to say, bowing her head low in respect."I'm sure that I won't be taking as much time."

" No, no" he fanned his hand towards her."You are welcome to enter my office anytime."

But he shoots a look at Yagari in the corner of his eyes."Things get really scary with him all alone in one room."

Emphasizing the word 'him', his last sentence became into a whisper. Yagari totally ignored his teasing joke and still space out of the room.

The brunette girl looked up from her bow to repeat the joke again in her thick head. Finally, she got the idea as she laughed. The Yagari person can be one serious man to stick with.

"Arigato. . .," she smiled brightly, her very young voice chimed through the air.

Her affectionate face had shined down at Kaien, bringing him into streams of tears of joy.

"CUTE!" he cried.

In a mid-second, he was embracing the small girl's head and drag her around like a bear hug, twisting his torso back and forth of happiness had filled his heart.

"You're so cute! That was absolutely amazing! So kind and full of sunshine! My little angel! It was best kindest smile that I have ever seen!"

"You're suffocating the poor girl," Yagari stated in a bored tone.

Once the Headmaster had set her down, the girl looks like in a deep wreck with her hair is out of place.

"Hey, hey . . .!" Kaien whispered to her closely."Can you please call me your Otou-san?"

"O-otou-san?" she asked, completely unsure of this idea on her first day at the Cross Academy, blinking in bewilderment.

He nodded, happily.

But he felt a dark aura approaching behind, turning his head with a creaking noise of the dark mist filled in his room.

"Don't you dare take another chance of adopting another child . . . !" Yagari stormed, glaring daggers at the chairman who is shaking in his boots.

After when the hunter had tied the Headmaster in his chair, now it's time things to be settled. The girl had fixed her new uniform in a straight outfit.

"So what can we do for you today?" Kaien smiled awkwardly, feeling the ominous electrical waves from the very annoyed Toga.

She stilled smile cheerfully."Oh~! Uh. . .How should I start? Well, it looks like I'm getting lost in this gigantic school. Not anyone in this academy would volunteer to help. Even you said that I should be in your office after my class sooo. . .Is there anything that would help me to know the school better?"

"Ah, yes!" Kaien answered."I almost forgot. I already assigned someone to help you to escort this place. And there is an open spot for you to live in a dorm that is already been set for you. Your bags and luggage is waiting at your door."

With that, he pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to her."Makes sure you give this to Wakaba Sayori. She'll be in your next class so don't worry about finding her. Oh! And here's the map to find your places."

"Wow . . .,"she trailed off, opening the piece of paper and examine the school grounds."This is surely a big place for school and home."

"Sayori-san will tell you the rules around the Cross Academy so don't try doing anything reckless," he added.

"Oh! I promise I won't! Not on my first day here," she solutes.

Kaien laughed at her mood."I know you're not going to do stuff like that. Just don't cause much of a fuss, okay?"

"Okay."

"You're dismissed."

After that, she ran out the door to rush in her next class before the bell rings. It will be a great opportunity to at least give her a detain, but no need, the brunette girl runs pretty fast.

Until that the two of them are completely, it made Kaien thought about the moment when Yuuki starts to call him her father. It reminded so much to be called her dad.

"I have a feeling for this one," Kaien said.

Yagari laid his eyes on his him."What do you mean?"

Placing his hand over his eyes, the chairman thinks it over again of taking glances at the old photograph of him months ago. He still remembers her, remembers her perfectly the way how she called him her father. Still remembers how energetic she gets when it comes to food and people around her, her bit marks from only one person who first tasted her blood. He remembered everything, of course.

The former father of Cross Yuuki smiled to himself.

"Just a spark I felt."

Kiryuu Zero is now walking steadily around school grounds, trying to make himself at least five minutes in class and ditch. Nobody wouldn't be stopping him, he'll give the scariest death glare to anyone who tries to stop him. But only if he can just focus on something else other than the painful hunger is building up inside of his stomach. It aches for warm delicious blood, chugging down a couple of blood tablets wouldn't do the trick to calm him down for two minutes.

His cold heart keeps beating and beating on every step he takes to get to his Day Class, every pant breathed through his throat. The beads of sweat drops from his forehead as people around him were trying to get out of his way before he can scream at then to move. The cold breeze air blew pass him,making a very strange scent whiff through his nostrils which he can't get away from that easily.

Zero knows what he has to do. Go see the chairman if there isn't anybody new to the Cross Academy that came here today. Because of an awful smell is rousing in the air, causing his hunger to go out control and it hurts him. He wouldn't want to show off of an odd transformation in public, it will be that last thing he'll do.

The smell. . .

The smell . . . .!

The scent is getting stronger and getting closer. The scent of a fragile human, no doubt that it could be the smell of a vampire. Inhaling the great fragrance is ascending everywhere around him, concentrating to tame the beast inside of him. He just needs to get out of this atmosphere before he can go insane.

Thud!

He heard the echoes of heavy textbooks tumble over the soft green environment. A shove of a person had collided against, using his strength to keep standing while breathing out even more than before.

"Ouch . . ."

His light lavender eyes extended of the voice just when his throat is clogged by the presence of someone sitting before him.

A girl

A brunette girl

Her round blue eyes stared at him of embarrassment by the clumsy thing she did to crash into him like that. It was a bad start to know what the smell is coming from.

"I-I'm sorry . . . I-" she stuttered, staring up at him when he's in total shock.

The expression he makes is full of pain and hunger, she didn't know why he's in great vexation. Still, the appearance of this boy is unpleasantly unbelievable.

No one knows if anybody can have silver hair as their natural hair color. Very pale skin is all over his skinny body and lavender eyes if that is possible. She had never seen someone who can be born like this.

Kiryuu Zero can already see the small veins through her delicate neck. The mist of her scent is rousing out of her tiny body. The scent blowing through his nose, drawing in the smell he would like to get the whiff.

Again, his heart starts beating. Pounding onto his chest as he clutches onto it, realizing what he's doing of fragrance coming from this girl. He can feel his sharp fangs flourishing out of his normal human teeth. His vision is about to become in crimson blur. The tips of his finger nails grew longer by the looks of this delicious looking meal in front of him as his heart still pounds heavily. His mouth starts to drool of the image of her.

The only thing he needs to do is. . .

"W-wait!" the girl called out to him.

She jolts up to be standing on her feet, watching the fierce Zero running away from her gentle sight.

"Please don't go . . .," she said in low tone, being left alone of confusion and astonished of the sudden scene happened.

Zero kept on running, running as fast as he can to get away from the perfect and mouthwatering chance to sink his fangs to her flesh. He ask himself. . .

What was that?

It couldn't be another one. How can there be another one in this school? He wouldn't say that girl is another one. Her scent is completely unbearable. He can't stand the idea of her blood runs through her veins, a lot stronger than chairman's daughter months ago. How can that be possible? To obtain a delicious scent of blood that belongs to one girl.

Things will get out of hands this time.

I'll also show you a sweet dream next night
