Ding dong ding-dong! Ding dong ding-dong!

The students in class 3B looked up from their work as Sensei Cross threw the chalk down, mid way through a sentence and screamed.

"LUNCHTIME!!!" He dashed out the room, a huge beaming smile on his face, singing a song about noodles. The children watched silently from their seats.

Shiki looked up from his desk and sighed, wiping the drool from his face. He was not normally up this late. Takuma stretched and yawned from the desk next to him.

"Hey Shiki! Lunchtime!"

Takuma winked and made the peace sign. Shiki grunted in reply. But just then the entire class gathered around the mysterious newcomers. Girls giggled and grabbed for Shiki's hair. He yelped and stood on his chair, trying to escape the waves of hands. Takuma jumped onto Shiki's chair and the two boys clung to each other as the girls advanced hunger in their eyes, screaming questions, offering sweets and weirdly… asking to smell the two boys.

I am going to die! And I haven't even had any lunch yet!

Shiki squeaked as a girl grabbed his leg and he somehow managed to scramble onto Takumas' shoulders, throwing his arms around Takuma's face and head. Takuma squealed as Shiki accidentally pulled out some hair. With that he had had enough of these Human girls.

"Hold on Shiki!" Takuma frowned and eyes the door. You can do it! Just have to jump over the fan girls and run to the door… and keep running.

"Why? What are you going to do-?!" Shiki yelled as Takuma rose from the chair and leaped across the sea of girlish figures. They quietened in shock, as Takuma shot out the door.

"They went out into the corridor! Get Them!" The girl's let out a war cry and ran after the two boys. The other boys in the class sighed and remained at their desks putting away their things. They then walked out to lunch, in a neat single file, grumbling in annoyance and pity.

Shiki and Takuma yelled in fear as they charged down the hallways. Shiki bobbing up and down on top of Takuma. They could hear the girls' behind them. Takuma spun around a corner, but as he neared the end of the corridor he felt a pair of hands grab him around the mouth and pull him backwards into a classroom.

From behind the closed and locked door, Shiki and Takuma heard the pack charge past, in a deafening roar. And then there was only the sound of songbirds.

"Whew! That was close!" Takuma spun around and was confronted by Hanabusa Aido.

"HaHa! You see Kain, I knew it was Ichijo!" Hanabusa danced around his cousin, singing 'in your face'. Shiki lowered himself from Takumas' back and looked around the room. It was most definitely not a classroom. It was decorated with lavish plush cushions on the floor, magnificent drapes dangling from the windows blocking out some of the light. It looked more like someone's' eccentric living room.

Two girls stood slightly to the left of the jeering Aido. Luca was eying Shiki with curiosity.

"Hey, you!" She snapped her fingers at Shiki, who jumped. "What is your name?"

"Shiki Shenri."

She gasped. "Kuran Kaname samas' cousin?"

She shuffled forwards and peered into his eyes.

"Hoy, Luca!" Kain grinned and touched her shoulder. He blushed crimson as she glared at him. "Don't scare him, we just saved him from a hoard of girls, probing him."

Luca glared at him and stomped off to the seating area. Kain groaned and walked after her. What have I done now?

Takuma smiled at Aido.

"It is nice to see you again, Hanabusa. How is your mother?"

"Upset that I always act on impulse, as ever" He muttered. "She thought sending me here would calm me down a bit. Teehee."

"What is this room then?"

"Well, Rima and Luca were the first here, and apparently the Headmaster gave them this empty room for use. I think he, erm, decorated it. But this is our special Sanctuary!" He spread out his arms. "We have books!" He pointed to the bookcase.

"We have drinks and snacks!" He pointed to the snack table.

"We have a cabinet, full of Sun Cream!" As Takuma followed Aido to the cupboard, he swore some unnatural Godly light shimmered from it.

'We have manga… for some strange reason." He pointed to a dusty corner stacked high with manga books. Before he could complete the grand tour, Takuma had dashed over to the Manga pile and was flicking through the piles of Manga. Aido raised an eyebrow, as he heard Takuma sob in delight.

Shiki stood still, watching the scene unfold. He then noticed the red haired Vampire girl, edge closer to him. She had some strange packet in her hand. She reached his side and suddenly shoved the packet in his face.

"Pocky." She said

"Hmm." Shiki nodded, unsure what she meant. A few moments passed before she took out a stick and shoved it in his mouth.

"Chew." So he chewed.

"Do you like it?" Shiki nodded and smiled. He licked his lips and for the first time that day he took command of a conversation.

"I am Shiki."

"Rima" The two stood chewing on Pocky for a while, watching in a comfortable silence at the antics of the other Vampires.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Aido gasped and hid underneath a pile of cushions. Luca flung herself on the floor and Kain just stood in the middle, looking confused, wondering what game they were playing. Takuma just grunted and flicked through more books. Rima sighed and dragged Shiki behind her towards the door.

"Rima chan?" A voice chimed through the door.

Rima flung it open and grabbed the human by her neck and yanked her inside. She hurriedly locked it once again. Emi stood in the room and smiled around at the Aristocrats. Aido stood up and grumbled, walking over to a cabinet full of sun cream. Kain smiled at the human girl, and sat down. Luca glared at Kain, saying nothing. Takuma grunted.

"Here is more Pocky, you left the box back in the Classroom." Emi muttered. She smiled at Shiki and at the other Vampires.

"Thank you Emi Chan." Rima took the box and stuffed the last of her Pocky into Shiki's mouth. He beamed and chewed.

"Well, I better go. It is Gyoza for lunch and it will be gone soon."

"Bye, Emi!" Luca called as the girl left the room.

Rima bolted and locked the door and stood next to Shiki, giving him more Pocky. Aido rubbed Sun Cream on his face and hummed to himself, while Luca and Kain engaged in a heated game of Mahjong.

"Can we go to Lunch yet?" Takuma surfaced from his Manga world. Silence filled the room, followed by 6 stomachs, growling.

"We actually… haven't ever been in the Lunch room." Luca frowned from her seat.

"Ah, come on how bad could it be?" The other Vampires attacked Takuma with disbelieving looks.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A hush fell over the Lunchroom, as 6 beautiful children glided in. Kaien looked up and raised an eyebrow. He was not very impressed, because as soon as he reached the staffroom, Reno Genji laughed shoving his face into the staff Rota board. He had been stood in the Lunchroom hands crossed over his belly, in a painful hunger. And he was certainly in no mood, to control a riot of younger boys and girls, who may seize his weakened state to attack the Vampires. As Genji pointed out:

"I think the humans are the ones we need to worry ourselves with!" Before cackling at his joke.

Shiki stood between Rima and Takuma, eyes wide with fear as every single head in that damned room turned to stare. Takuma coughed and strode forwards towards the lunch counter. The others followed close behind, keeping in a huddle. There was safety in numbers.

"Good day, madame." He smiled graciously to the diner lady, who nearly fainted upon hearing such a polite child. "What filling is in the Gyoza today?"

"Duck." Was all her open mouth could say.

"Hmm. Yes, I think that shall be fine. Where is the green tea?" She slopped the steaming Gyoza onto his plate, and pointed to the far end. Takuma nodded and poured some Green tea.

"Miso soup please, ma'am." Said Rima. She then looked to Shiki. "The same for him as well, but Gyoza as well."

Shiki shuffled behind Rima and took his plate pilled with food. They made their way to Takuma who was gazing about the room looking for a spot. Kain joined them and murmed.

"We could eat in the toilets or back in the room…"

"Rima Chan!" Rima looked and saw Emi waving at her from across the room. She was sat at a table with a few other human children, who smiled.

"Safe!" Rima said quietly and lead the way through the throng to the table, the others trailing close behind.

Slowly the children began to talk again, at first in low murmurs, disdained that the 6 children would pick that certain table.

They sat down at the table and placed their trays down. Shiki's hands shook as he played with the food on his plate.

"Welcome to our table." Emi smiled widely. "This is Takahashi Aoi, class 3C" A boy with curly dark hair and glasses waved back. His glasses concealed brilliant blue eyes, which almost put Aidos' to shame.

"This is Satsaki Hotaru, she is from Class 2A" A girl with Amber hair, in a high pony tail, and orange eyes nodded. She played with the ends of her hair and smiled.

"These two are Nakamura Minoru and Nakamura Mikki, from Class 2C. They are twins." She added as an after thought. They had oddly dark blue hair and deep hazel eyes. The girl, Mikki, just glanced at the newcomers, no emotion spreading on her face, while her brother beamed and smiled.

"Welcome!" He cried. His hair was longer than his sisters. Mikki wore a red hat over her hair.

" Then this is Oonishi Ren and Maeda Yuuto, Ren from class 3A and Yuuto from class 3B"

"I see you two managed to survive the girls!" Yuuto smiled at Shiki and Takuma. Takuma laughed and began to engage in conversation.

Aido stared at the girl named Oonishi Ren. Her hair was golden in colour, long and straight, tucked into her jumper. It was the same girl who payed him no attention in class.

"You." Aido directed to the girl. Ren turned around and glared at him.

"What?" She snapped back.

"You are in our class." He pointed to Kain with his thumb, who was tucking into his lunch.

"Wow. How intuitive you are." Her green eyes bored into him. He growled.

"Why do you ignore me?"

"Mainly because I am not the type of girl, who gives boys boxes of chocolates." She raised an eyebrow. "I also don't stroke attention seeking boys' egos."

Luca laughed. "I think you and I are going to get on, Ren Chan."

Ren smiled and the two girls began to converse. Aido ignored them and huffed in his corner.

Kaien observed the group from the side. He smiled. The Vampires were having some pleasant conversations with the humans. The other students paid them some attention, but largely carried on with eating. He chuckled as even Shiki was talking, even if Rima was the one who answered some of the questions for him.

"Kaien?" A female voice spoke out to him.

"Yeah?"

"Here is your food!"

This time the whole room went quiet, as the children observed the overly energetic teacher almost hug the breathe from a diner lady, while crying tears of joy. Genji had to come in to prize him off the poor woman.

Authors Notes:

I was contemplating making what AidoRockz guessed in the review so... but I wanted the humans here (the children) to have no relation to Cross Academy. Plus I am thinking here in general that it takes place when Kaien was still quite young... (in his 20s) which means that Yori has not yet been born (I am really not sure about the ages of Vampires in VK... so just accept that the Nobles' age reallly sloowww..)

^_^

Please review! ^^
