A.N. Thank you everyone who reviewed, faved, and alerted. I still have writers block (insert the female scream from horror movies), but Beyonce, Loreena McKinnitt, The Pussycat Dolls, Toby Keith, and Alanis Morissette have been helping me. If any of you writers out there have any suggestions about killing my writers block, please tell me!!!!

Yuki walked out of Algebra on the first day back at Cross Academy, with a small smile on her face. She had barely passed her Algebra exams by the skin of her teeth. She had gotten a B-. She was so relived because it was Friday. But Mrs. Hinako, Yuki's Historical Feminism teacher, had given everyone a historical woman to read about and have discussion on. Yuki was very enthusiastic about this specific project because this last semester they had worked on famous women in the orient, and now they were going out west to find out about more women.

Yuki went to her dorm and got out the folder from Mrs. Hinako. The folder was a bright blue with only her name on it. The class had been instructed not to open their folders till they got back to their dorms and not to tell anyone. Yuki closed her eyes hoping to get someone good, like Princess Diana or Marie Antoinette or Elizabeth I. When she did open it is said on the first page;

Sarah Churchill

The First Duchess of Marlborough

"What?!" Yuki exclaimed. She had only heard of Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of England during World War 1, in World History. She sighed and began to read. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she thought.

Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough, née Sarah Jennings (May 291660 – October 181744), rose to be one of the most influential women in British history, largely as a result of her close friendship with Queen Anne

Life account

Sarah Jennings was born in Holywell, Hertfordshire, England in 1660, the daughter of Richard Jennings and Frances Thornhurst. Sarah's friendship with Anne came about some time after 1673, when she and her sister Frances joined the household of the Duke of York (later to be King James II) and befriended his younger daughter; Anne was a few years Sarah's junior. They called one another by pet names, Sarah being "Mrs Freeman" and Anne "Mrs Morley".

On October 11678, Sarah married John Churchill, later to be created Duke of Marlborough, and they made a glittering couple. Marlborough, though he had supported James, also had a role in bringing William of Orange to the British throne. For his support of William, and in recognition of his skills as a military leader, Marlborough was rewarded with his earldom. Sarah basked in his reflected glory, but had political skills of her own as well.

Following Anne's accession to the throne, Sarah was made Mistress of the RobesKeeper of the Privy Purse and Ranger of Windsor Great ParkBerkshire) where she and her husband resided in what was to become known as Cumberland Lodge. She exercised great personal and political influence. However, with the introduction into Anne's household of a politically aware rival, Sarah's own cousin, Abigail Masham, the relationship between the queen and her old friend deteriorated greatly. In 1711, both Sarah and her husband fell out of royal favour. Anne's death in 1714 restored their fortunes, but the Duke died in 1722 and never saw the completion of Blenheim Palace, the house built for him by a grateful nation. It was left to Sarah to oversee the remaining work, and she was often in conflict with the architect, Sir John Vanbrugh

Close links with the Royal Family remained. Sarah sought to marry off her granddaughter Lady Diana Spencer (1710-1735), to Frederick, Prince of Wales. The Duchess remained friendly with the prince and his family, however, even after this plan had failed.

Yuki sat back in her seat. 'What a woman.' She thought. 'I mean she did all of that in 84 years. And go on for about 22 years without a husband.' She sat up and streched. She saw that it was almost the time when the Night Class went to their classes. She jogged there to see a mass of Day Class girls already waiting for the parade of vampires. She squezed her way to the front of the crowd she found that Zero wasn't there.

'Surprise, surprise.' She thought as she tried to keep the girls at bay.

"Everyone calm down!" Yuki tried to scream over the shouts. Yuki grabed her whistle and put it to her lips. WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!! She blew so hard, that the girls had to cover their ears, and stop shouting.

"Thank you." She said in a cheerfull voice. "Now, the Night Class doesn't have class today, so go away! The Night Class would like some privacy for once. If I see any of you again here tonight, I will give you a detention, and don't think that I can't. MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT!" She yelled at them. She hated to be so mean, but it was a nessisary.

She turned around to see Aido and Kain standing behind her.

"What are you to doing here?" she asked trying to sound confiedent. Since Aido had drunk her blood, she had always felt uneasy around him.

"Kaname Sama has sent us to give you a note." Kain said holding out the note. It was folded three times and was sealed with red wax. Inside it said:

Dear Yuki,

I am sorry that I sent Aido and Kain with this letter, but I can't really step out of the Moon Dorms because of the Day Class girls. I heard about your project on Sarah Chruchill, and I thought that I could help. Meet me at the lake in one hour.

-Kaname

"What does it say?" Aido said in a cheerful voice. Yuki looked up from the letter to see that he was looking over her shoulder. She folded the paper quickly.

"None of your bussiness," she said briskly. She turned to the two. "Alright, you've given your letter, so go back to your dorms."

"Yes ma'ma!" Aido said raising his hand in salute. Kain and Yuki rolled their eyes at him. The two vampires walked back to the dorms. Zero then appeared.

"What were you talking to them about?" he asked. Yuki kicked him in the shins. "Oh!" he exclaimed. "What was that for?"

"That was bailing on me again. What's the excuse this time? Supplimentary classes? Bathroom break?— "

"I was talking with the headmaster." He said in monotone.

"About what?" She said her face red from anger.

"About transfering to the Night Class." Her face went from anger to complete shock. "It's all settled. Tomarow I start classes." She said not looking at her.

"Why?" she asked.

"I'm a vampire. What if I hurt someone, or someone finds out? What if I hurt you?" Her gaze fell to the ground.

"Does this mean that you won't be a Guardian?" She asked quietly.

"I don't think so."
