A/N: I do not own Vampire Knight. It belongs to Matsuri Hino, the author. I DO own my OC.

I'm sorry for the lateness of the this chapter, and hope that everyone who reads, reviews as well. This is only about the first half of the actual chapter. It's just so long I didn't want to put it all in one piece, because it would be huge... (or at least I think it would be...)

Glossary: Arigato means Thanks


Chapter 2 (Part 1)

"Yuuki-sama, please stay quiet about until the classes are over with about Keiko-chan and Zero-kun," Kaname-sama pleads. I shoot him a thankful look.

"Fine," Yuuki-sama pouts.

"Ruka-chan, do you know why Kaname-sama hasn't moved Zero-kun to the Night Class yet? Since, you know, Yuuki-sama isn't completely vulnerable in that class anymore," I ask.

"I have no idea what-so-ever," Ruka-chan whispers in reply.

'It's so he can protect the Day Class from you and Yuuki-sama,' Kaname-sama explains in my head.

'Arigato, but I don't think we'll cause any trouble,' I reply.

'Just need to be careful for a while, then he'll join the rest of us vampires in the Night Class,' Kaname-sama promises.

"Maybe he's still needed to protect the Day Class students?" Ruka-chan asks.

"I think that must be it," I whisper to her as Yagari Touga-sensei enters the room.

"Settle down everyone, and open your books to page 33," Yagari-sensei booms.


"It's time for bed!" Ruka-chan yawns.

"Everyone, I have an announcement!" Yuuki-sama yells.

"Get me out of here now!" I whisper as I begin to make a run for the door, knowing what Yuuki-sama was about to announce.

'Go invisible?' Kaname-sama suggests. I do a mental face-palm and go invisible about two seconds before Yuuki-sama makes the embarrassing announcement.

"Keiko Himura-chan and Zero Kiryuu-kun is now a couple!" Yuuki-sama exclaims. Several people begin to look around the room for me, only to find me missing.

"Where is she?" Ruka-chan yells.

"She was right here a second ago," Akatsuki Kain-senpai smiles as he points directly at me, or rather the empty I'm currently occupying.

'It's time to get out of here!' I think and do a ninja flip up and onto a wall. The landing on the wall makes some noise but as I propel myself out of the room I decide it was worth it. As long as I was out of the room and no one could find me.

"Aiyaa, does anyone know what abilities she has?" Yuuki-sama demands.

"I know she can turn invisible!" Ruka-chan exclaims.

"I think she can do more than that. Look," Kain-senpai says as he points to the ground, "This is where her footprints end!"

'That's what you think, Kain!' I think as I run away to the chairman's office.

"Ha! I won! Yuuki-sama got to embarrass me, but I wasn't there to be embarrassed!" I laugh. Zero Kiryuu-kun comes up next to me and grabs my arm.

"Where are you going?" He asks.

"Err… the chairman's office," I say as I return to being visible.

"Are you sure? You seem to be heading towards the Sun Dormitories. You know I can't let you go that way. You shouldn't even be out of class," Zero-kun says.

"Eh, ha… I'm sorry, Kiryuu-kun. I didn't mean to, my thoughts must have just brought me this way. I don't mean to cause trouble. I'll be going now," I say and turn the other way. I go to walk but I can't because Zero-kun still has a hold on my arm.

"You're not going anywhere without me, I don't want this to happen again," Zero-kun says. He starts to lead me to the chairman's office.

"Let go! I can take care of myself!" I whine. Zero-kun just sighs and knocks on the chairman's door. I am surprised to see that we're already at the door.

"Come in, Keiko-chan, Zero-kun," Kaien Cross-san, the chairman, says.

We walk in and Cross-san dismisses Zero-kun, "I'll be able to take care of myself, Zero-kun."

"Of course, Chairman," Zero-kun says, acting way out of character. He then exits very quietly, but I hear him lean against the wall outside.

"Chairman—" I start.

"Welcome, I had hoped to never see you here Keiko Himura-chan. What did you do?" He asks.

"Well… Yuuki-sama tried to embarrass me and I sort of snuck out of class. Then, Zero-kun found me wandering toward the Sun Dormitories, though I had meant to come see you…. So, now I'm here," I explain. I hear Zero-kun leave.

"Rukya Kuchiki-sama, why hide? And it's impossible to hide your presence from everyone. Though, no one else seems to have realized that you are not what you say you are," Cross-san sighs.

"I hide, because Zero-kun will hate me when he finds out," I say. I sniff the air gently, knowing I was close enough to the Sun Dormitories that their scent could be tainting the air. One scent stands out among the rest, being fresher and more obvious meaning they were bleeding. This scent belongs to someone I care about though, because it belongs to Zero-kun.

"Kuchiki-sama, what's wrong?" Cross-san asks.

"Zero-kun's blood, it's fresh in the air…" I whisper.

"What—!" the Chairman's sentence is cut off as I run as fast as I can to Zero-kun.


Zero-kun POV

There she is, why she is here I had no idea, other than the fact that my blood might have enticed her here. Her long, brown hair drapes over her face. She wears her school uniform, and the longer socks that went with it. Her face shown with an expression of complete exhaustion, she must have run here at top speed. As the sun rises, her skin pales a bit and she shields her eyes from the sunlight. I still can't believe that somewhere in some part of me, I care for this being of death and beauty. My blood is still in the air, and I slump down a bit in relief that she came.

"I knew you would come," I whisper before collapsing to the ground.


Keiko-chan/Rukya-sama POV

"Zero-kun," I gasp in shock, "We need to get you to the infirmary!"

"Not… enough… time… I'm… getting… thirsty…" Zero-kun coughed out.

"Zero-kun, you're not allowed to drink blood on school grounds! I can't let you break the rules, and allow you to sink deeper into the oblivion of being a level E!" I yell.

"Ah, Keiko-chan, how good to see you again," a voice sighs.

"Leave me alone, whoever you are," I hiss.

"You don't recognize me? I'm hurt," the voice whines. I finally recognize the voice, and it's my long-time friend from childhood, Takuma Ichijou-senpai. I had been so busy keeping Yuuki-sama under wraps, so to speak, to realize he was a part of the Night Class.

"Ichijou-senpai, what are you doing here?" I hiss.

"The same as you, learning," he smirks.

"I don't believe that, I'm not here to learn. I already know everything they have to offer me here," I snap.

Zero-kun coughs, "I need… to get… to the infirmary…."

"Zero-kun, let's go," I say and glare at Ichijou-senpai. I continue, "Don't bother coming with us. Your services won't be necessary."

"Oh, but don't you want to know who drew your precious Zero-kun's blood?" Ichijou-senpai taunts.

"I know it was you, but I'll deal with you later," I hiss and pick Zero-kun up. I take off towards the infirmary at full speed, even though I was still exhausted from the previous run.


A/N: I hope it was long enough, but remember it's only half of the actual length of the chapter. I hope I left you with a slight cliffy, and that you REVIEW! THANK YOU!
AS OF 9/15/2011 THIS STORY IS NOW MY PRIORITY TO UPDATE. IT WILL BE A WHILE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, SO DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP. I AM A VERY INCONSISTENT WRITER.
My other stories are currently review-less so if any of my readers would take a look at them and leave a review that would be nice.

So far I have changed so much from this part of the notebook I wrote the story in that I will practically be tearing the notebook apart except for the main concepts of the plot. Basically... it's back to the drawing board. I am hoping to be able to pound out the second half of this chapter and the next at some date unbeknownst to me. Anyways, if you REVIEW updates/rewriting will happen FASTER! Great concept, isn't it?

Envy: I don't know why I'm here.

Alice: Cuz I wrote you in here, that's why. (Btw, I do have a FullMetal story or two, but it will be a while before they are up. And I'm thinking of making one for Envy/OC. haha, lol...)

Envy: Well... I guess it's time to say: READ AND REVIEW!
