More info on summary that I couldn't fit on the preview thing:
Summary: A new vampire in the Night Class and a girl with a riotous will. Both arrive at the same time, and know nothing, but at the same time, everything. Kaname gets poisoned, and chaos breaks loose. T for language and violence. OC--OCxZero (in other words, one OC likes another OC, but she already likes Zero) Might be some other pairings later, but I'm not sure right now.

Hello, readers!! I was thinking about making another 'Vampire Knight' fanfic, and I've talked about it with my friend, who is also a 'Vampire Knight' fan, and I think we've come up with a pretty good idea here. So, here you go. (Also, expect a cameo of my OCs from my other 'Vampire Knight' fanfic later, 'kay?)

Disclaimer: I don't own 'Vampire Knight' or any of its characters. They belong to Matsuri Hino, not me. Happy? Good. Read.

Prologue
Unknown Character

"Why won't you let me in?" I begged.

"Because I have no reason to trust you," the man replied.

"How can I get you to trust me, then?" I replied, frantically.

"Hmm..." The man deliberated, scratching his chin.

"Please, sir. I need to join this organization. I have to!!"

The man and I were in a dimly lit room, the only lights being the candle that sat on the table between us, and his eyes that glowed a translucent blue-green. I was sitting down, while the man was standing on the other side of the table.

"Fine. If you can prove to me that you truly are worthy of becoming a member, then you can join. You'll need to bring me something, though. Proof," he amended, crossing his arms now. "Now, what should you bring me..."

"Oh, I'll bring anything," I responded eagerly. "Anything you want, just name it and it's as good as yours."

Apparently, I said something wrong, because he put his hands on the table in front of me, and glared at me with his piercing eyes.

"Bring me the corpse of the pureblood, Kaname Kuran."

With that one statement, he ended our meeting. He stepped back from the table, and vanished. I stood, and took a deep breath. I was desperate to get into this organization, but how far was I willing to go? I closed my eyes, and caught the faint scent of a distant person's spilt blood. It smelled awfully sweet. 'Not now,' I reminded myself. 'We'll go hunting as soon as we've located this pureblood.'

Soon...

Part One, Chapter 1
Korimen

"Aw, come on... Please?"

"No, Kori-kun."

"But, I need blood! I need it or else I will go berserk and hunt innocent people! That happens to me sometimes..." I finished, fiddling with the cufflinks at the end of one of my Night Class uniform sleeves.

"I can't sneak out any more blood from the hospital wing. There's hardly any as it is!! People can only get into accidents where they leak blood so often, you know! And, SSH!! If the other Night Class students found out what you and I are doing, there'd be no end to the fighting!"

We were walking to our private home, directly attached to the main office. It's kind of weird, because it's built right onto the side of the building, directly at the base of the wall.

I sighed. "I know, I know. You're right. I'm sorry for making you help me. I'm an awful vampire..." I said, lowering my head in sadness.

"Aww, it's okay. I might be able to sneak out just a little more... But, you have to at least try to make it last, okay?!"

By this time, we had reached our living quarters. I had been granted private living quarters outside the regular Moon Dorm rooms, where I'd be safe from vengeful vampires. You'll find out why soon enough. I had unlocked the door, and we had both walked inside, when I heard her promise to try again.

"Yay!! Thank you, Higuru-chan!!" I said, hugging her.

"You were faking?! Why, I oughta..." She broke free, and reeled back to punch me, but I ducked. In response, she launched a series of blows. Kick, punch, kick, punch, punch. I dodged them all, and pounced, pinning her to the floor.

"I win!!" I said playfully. I jumped back off her, and we both laughed.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Korimen Shutaki, and I am a new attendee of the Night Class at Cross Academy. I'm not a pureblood, like my great-aunt, Shizuka Hio. Yes, my great-aunt is the Kuruizaki-hime, and I hate it! She's my grandmother's sister, and, although I feel really bad about saying it, I'm glad she's gone. She did horrible things, and was engaged to a pureblood by the name of Rido Kuran, whom I've heard was pretty evil. Scratch that, really evil.

The other Night Class students tend to avoid me, probably for two reasons. Reason 1: I'm new, and therefore not to be trusted. The only ones who ever trust me, or be friendly with me are Senri Shiki, and Takuma Ichijou. I'm lucky enough to be graced with the presence of Kaname Kuran wherever I go, so I try to stay out of his way. After all, he is a pureblood. Something that you definitely do not do at any point in time, regardless of any situation, is anger a pureblood vampire. That's how I got the various scratches on my neck and chest. I refused to help my great-aunt once, and she made me pay. She was mean... Reason 2: They know who my great-aunt is. I don't really blame them, I just wish they'd stop throwing me dirty looks every time I walk by.

"So, what kind of blood is there tonight?" I asked jokingly, jumping up from the floor.

"Well, there's... none. Sorry," Higuru said.

"No, not true," I replied slowly, a sly look on my face.

"No. You're not drinking my blood, Imen," she returned, using her other nickname for me. "I'll admit, I've been following in Yuuki-san's footsteps so far, but I'm not going to do something illegal like feeding a vampire my own blood."

"Aww... Guess I'll just have to settle for blood tablets, then," I said, depressed just at the thought, already reaching for my case of blood tablets.

"Looks like it..." she said, getting two glasses of water, then setting them on the table in the living room. I dropped a blood tablet in one of them for me, squeezing a small slice of lemon into the other for her.

"Cheers, Ogire-chan," I said, noting the irony in that statement. I only used her last name when I was really, really dejected.

We set down our glasses at exactly the same time, and both heard the sound of a knock. Somebody was at the door.

"I'll get it," I said, getting up to answer it. I opened the door, not sure who I would find, and saw Takuma Ichijou, the Moon Dorm's vice president, standing in our doorway, eyes wide with panic. I noted that his uniform had small rips in it in numerous places. "Takuma-senpai! ...Oh, this can't be good," I groaned in realization.

"What is it?" Higuru asked, coming up behind me.

"It's (huff) Kaname (puff)... He just collapsed in class... We thought (huff) maybe you two might know (cough, cough) something about it, since it's never happened before you two showed up (pant)," he said, out of breath.

"Wait. First, come in and sit down. It would be impolite to just let you stand out there."

"Thank you," he replied, stepping inside and sitting on the couch across from the main one, in which Higuru seated herself. I sat in a chair, to the side, to act as an intermediate if need be.

"Why are there rips in your uniform, Ichijou-senpai?" I asked curiously.

"Oh," he said, as though he were realizing this just now. "I must have forgotten about the new security system."

"You have a security system now?" Higuru queried.

"Yes. The Day Class keeps trying to sneak into the Moon Dorm, and with Yuuki and Zero both having so many supplementary classes due to their patrols, they don't have much difficulty doing so. They have no troubles getting to us, with only Higuru on the Disciplinary Committee most of the time. So, we set up a security system. It won't hurt them," he added quickly, looking at the astonished expressions on our faces. "It just scares them off. No need to worry."

"So, you came from the dorm, then?" Higuru asked, confused.

"Oh," Takuma said, blushing. "Well, I needed something from my room."

"Uh-huh..."

"It's of no importance right now! Right now, we've got to hurry!" the blond said. His cheeks were so red they looked like they should have been on fire.

"Okay... Anyways, we better go. Vice President, sir? Maybe you should just stay here. Looking at you in this condition worries us," I advised.

"No, no. I'll come with you. I have to. He's still there, where he fainted. At least, he should be. I told the other Night Class students not to touch him. It's probably dangerous."

"Well, let's go, then!!" Higuru exclaimed, grabbing her vampire-fighting weapon, the Artemis Rod Mk II. It was ingenious. It was just like Yuuki's Artemis Rod, except for the fact that it could shoot vampire-capturing nets from the end, if need be. By 'vampire-capturing,' I mean that it won't have any effect on regular humans, although it could be broken by, say, a pureblood vampire. They would have enough power to break it. I think. I'm not entirely sure, because it's never been tested before, and I'm not willing to be a test subject, even though I was the one who designed it.

"Right," I replied, and grabbed my wristwatch off the table. It was important because it could release an energy shield that I could control, in order to protect myself and others. I'd probably need it, anyhow.

We ran to the school building's gates, the three of us constantly looking around to check for any ambushes. We ran inside, and saw Kaname Kuran's unconscious form lying on the floor. "Stand back! Make room! Disclipinary Committee coming through!" Higuru shouted to the other Night Class students who were gathered around Kaname. They parted, and I knelt to the ground beside him, to check what might be wrong with him. (I took a course on vampire health at some other place, so I was probably the closest thing to a vampire doctor there. I forget where that other place was now, because I was rather young at the time... heh heh...)

"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Aidou asked nervously, peeking over my shoulder.

"No, but I can't concentrate when you keep looking over my shoulder, Aidou!! Back up!" I said, perhaps a bit more harshly than needed. Needless to say, I was left alone to continue my diagnosis. My conclusion shocked me. "Oh my god..."

"What is it? What's wrong with him?! Say something!!" Ruka voiced from behind me. She sounded very panicked.

"It would appear... that Kaname-sama has been... poisoned," I finished slowly. I heard several gasps from the rest of the class. Even Shiki looked astonished.

"But... But, you can make him better, right?! You have to!" Ruka sounded almost hysterical, and was nearly in tears.

"I... I don't know. I'll do what I can, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to do anything. The poison that I found in his veins was unlike anything I've ever seen," I resolved, my head down in shame.

"Ruka..." I heard Kain walk up behind her and comfort her. They cared for each other a lot, I could tell. For a moment, I wondered if I would ever find anyone like that in my life.

'Errant thoughts are the bane of concentration!' I reminded myself. "Ruka, Kain, Aidou, Ichijou, I need your help. Help me carry Kaname-sama's body up to his room. Oh, and make sure that his chest is always higher that his feet. From what I can gather, the poison was inserted in his foot. Maybe he stepped on something, I don't know. Just keep it higher, though."

"Got it," Aidou, Ruka, and Kain replied together. Ichijou merely nodded. I made a mental note to myself that he seemed very out of character lately.

'Errant thoughts are the bane of concentration!!!!' I reminded myself again, becoming exasperated with my lack of attention. Besides, Ichijou was probably just worried about Kaname-sama. Right? I hoped so, and that it wasn't something else that we should be even more worried about.

"Everyone else, just... go back to your dorms, I guess. Classes have been cancelled for tonight," Higuru told the remaining Night Class students, while turning to make sure that we didn't hit Kaname's body against anything while we were moving it.

"So, do you think there's a way to counteract the poison, Kori-kun?" Kain asked me, as he was the closest to me. Our little procession had Higuru in the front, followed by Kaname's body being carried, with Ruka and Ichijou holding up his arms, and Aido and Kain holding his legs, down low. I brought up the rear.

"Hmm... I'm not sure. I'll just have to do some research, run a chemical analysis, and possibly cut off Kaname-sama's feet..."

"What?!" Ruka and Aido exclaimed, nearly letting the entire left side of Kaname's body hit the floor. They grabbed it in time, though.

"Relax, I'm kidding. Just trying to lighten the mood..." I assured. "Although, it doesn't seem like the mood really should be lightened, you know?"

"Yeah... I know what you mean. Seeing Kaname-sama like this makes me- makes us, I guess, really worried," Aido agreed.

"EEK!!! Duck!!" Higuru shouted, then dropped to the floor. Aido, Kain, Ruka, and Ichijou all followed suit, making sure that Kaname's body was exactly as I had said. Meanwhile, I thrust out my hand, and I could feel the time-slowing waves flow from my hand. I could actually hear my own heart slowing down. I slowed the incoming object down just long enough for everyone to get out of the hallway. I myself was unable to move while using my abilities, so I brought my hand back, and ran for my life.

I had just escaped, when there was a noise like an electric shock, and then.... *BOOM!!* One of the pillars alongside the path started to crumble! I noticed that the pillar had a small object embedded in it, that was shaped like a ninja throwing star. (Yes, I notice all the small things. I have ADD. So what?)

"Let's hurry. If we don't, we may be crushed, if whoever's doing this is targeting the school. If they're going after us, then we may cause unintentional damage to the school," I resolved.

"He's right. Let's go," Kain agreed. We rushed to Kaname's room in the Moon Dorm, and laid him down on his bed.

When he was asleep, Kaname looked surprisingly vulnerable. I was shocked at how defenseless he looked, even for a pureblood. I sighed. What if I couldn't do anything? What if...? There was no telling what could happen.

At that moment, Yuuki and Zero came in, for completely different reasons, I assumed. Yuuki was probably here to try and protect him, Zero, to gloat, or possibly hurt him further. Two opposite forces, with one common goal... Wait, I probably got that backwards... You know what I mean, though.

I stepped back to let Yuuki see Kaname, and, even though I couldn't actually see them, I knew her eyes were filled with tears. "Excuse me, please," I said softly. "I need to get through to get a blood sample from Kaname."

"Wha- Whoa!! You can't just do something like that!!" Yuuki objected.

"Yeah! For all we know, you're probably going to go back to your room, and drink it yourself!!" Ruka agreed.

"What?! He's poisoned!!! By this point, if he dies, it would be pretty much my fault!! And, again, he's poisoned!! Why would I want to get poisoned?! Seriously?! Think, for once, why don't you?!" I retaliated. Ruka looked stunned.

Kain came up behind her, and agreed with me. "Actually, he does have a good point." *slap*

I had to struggle to contain my laughter. Then, I remembered what I was doing, and extracted a blood sample. Don't worry, I used a syringe, like regular doctors do!! Honestly, if I died now, the story would be totally boring. After all, you can't really kill the narrator. Well, I guess you could, but the story would suck.

"All right, I've got what I need, so I'm off. Goodbye, everybody." I bade them farewell, and began walking back to the house.

On my way there, I pondered about what could possibly be the cause of all this. Could I do it? Could I save a life? And a pureblood's, no less!! Was it possible? Maybe I could do it, but... My thoughts were interrupted as an unfamiliar noise broke the air.

*zzzzzzzap-pow* "OOOFFFF!!!" I grunted, as my body was bound up in a net. Needless to say, I immediately fell over.

"I shouted for you to wait for me, but you just kept walking!! Open your ears a little!!" I moved my head as much as I could, which wasn't a whole lot, and saw Higuru running towards me, Artemis Rod Mk II outstretched. "Whew... You sure do walk fast when you're not paying attention," she said, as she caught up with me, and bent over, putting her hands on her knees, and took several deep breaths.

"Well, sorry!! Now, could you let me go, please?!"

"Oops. Yeah, hehe. Let me get that."

"Do I really have a choice?" I wondered.

"Not really. Have you figured anything out yet? Anything at all?" she asked hopefully, as she crouched to press her palm against my chest, specifically, where my heart was. This was the method I designed to free any vampires captured, accidentally or otherwise.

I sighed as I stood up. "Nope. I wish I had more. Something else, something that would give me a clue. Anything," I finished, lowering my eyes, and rubbing my wrists, where there had also been handcuff-like objects stuck there from the net. Another part of my ingenious design.

"Well, don't feel pressured. You're pretty new to this 'doctor' stuff. On the other hand, though," she added, changing the tone with the very next word. "GODDAMMIT, YOU BETTER NOT SCREW UP, KORI-KUN!!! I CAN'T DEAL WITH TWENTY-FIVE SCREWED-UP VAMPIRES, BECAUSE A CERTAIN SOMEONE COULDN'T SOLVE A CERTAIN PROBLEM!!!" she screamed, her face fierce.

"Umm... OK...?" I said, weakly. "Does she have multiple personality disorder or something?" I added under my breath. Thank God she didn't hear.

"Anyways," she paused, to allow for a huge yawn. "We better keep walkin-"

I placed my finger to her lips, preventing her from saying anymore. I swept her up in my arms, whispering, "Who needs to walk, when you're a vampire?" Looking back now, I'm not sure why I did that. I mean, I probably just confused her. With that, I leaped up to the lowest branch on the nearest tree. Then to the top branch. Then, from treetop to treetop, jumping our way home. I took a look at her expression in midair, and almost burst out laughing. Instead, I chuckled softly to myself.

"What's so funny?" she inquired haughtily.

"You are. You're afraid of heights, yet you always insist on going on patrol from the highest building on campus... Oops." I wasn't supposed to know that.

"And how would you know something like that?" she asked dangerously.

I stopped at the fifth treetop from our home. "Well, ever since you joined the Disciplinary Committee, I've kind of been spying on you from the classroom while you were on patrol..." I trailed off at the end.

"Oh. Did you see anything else?" she asked.

"No, not really... Nothing but the symbols you draw in the sand that are shaped like Kiryuu-san's tattoo," I added slyly.

She didn't react as I had hoped. She just said, "Wha- Oh." and kept quiet the rest of the way home.

We went inside, and I logged onto the computer that we kept in the house. I watched her walk to her room. "Good night," I called after her, as she opened the door.

"Good night," she responded, but it almost sounded like, "Goodbye." It worried me slightly.

I was up for a total of 48 hours straight trying to solve this problem, until I got some sleep. It just wouldn't come to me.

Okay, so this first chapter was really long, but the chapters following probably won't be as long. I just needed to get a lot in there. Sorry if I got anyone in trouble, or wasted anyone's time... -.-' ...yeah... Anyways, please R&R!! kthxbai
