Hello! :D I promise, I'll keep this A/N short, but it is important to the background of this story. I've been a follower of the VK story since it came out, but, I'm far from the average Yuuki/Zero fanatic. I actually really don't like Yuuki (please, don't hate me =_=") I do love her and Kaname together, though. I'm a Zori fan (ZeroxYori) even though nothing like that even comes close to happening, it's canon in my own little warped mind ^_^ So, that gave birth to this plot bunny. As you may (or may not) know, Yori has a fiance, but this man has remained a secret to everyone, her included. This story takes place a year after the event with Rido at Cross Academy, where we'll finally meet the mystery fiance, and romantic rivalries will bloom once more within their world.
Okay, I'm going to stop before I loose anyone who may be reading. I'll end this here with a hope that you all will stick with me as this story unfolds. Without further adieu, the beginning of His Only Princess.

Prologue
Twelve months. One year. It had been exactly one year since the traumatic event that took place at Cross Academy, the event that over half of the then trembling students had forgotten, their memories having been stripped completely of any knowledge of the Night Class' true identities.
Only a few had been privileged to remember, if that's what they wished to call it. Those few had fought head-on with Chairman Cross and Zero Kiryuu, swearing to never utter a word of that which they knew to the students who would soon forget, or anyone else for that matter. The two finally caved, upholding them to their word, leaving a total of three students left to remember everything. Including the fact that one of their very own classmates, Yuuki Cross, was the Pureblood vampire princess. It came as a shock to everyone, but more so to one girl than the rest. Sayori Wakaba, Yuuki's best friend since Junior High, and practically her sister. As the events unfolded, not to mention her almost being attacked by a vampire under Rido's control, only to be saved by Aidou Hanabusa and Yuuki herself, she began to learn why her friend had been so secretive, disappearing without warning, never telling her things that occurred while her and Zero were prefects. It was because she was a vampire. But, not just any vampire. She was just as powerful in their realm as a Queen would be to the human world. Sister of Kaname Kuran (and to Yori's new-found disgust, lover.) Surely they couldn't actually be related if they did such things, could they? Not that that mattered to the young girl. Despite everything, Yuuki was still her best friend, and she was certain she would always love her. She could only sit and hope that she would return to her again someday. But, not only her, but to Zero, too. The silver haired Hunter had immersed himself in some state of depression, she was sure, for he was never around anymore, always gone off from the Academy. And even when she was lucky enough to stumble upon one of his hiding places, courtesy of a teacher sending her after him, his responses were always terse and clipped before he would stalk off, making it clear he wished to speak to no one. Yuuki had left them with the broken shell of a young man who once was so wonderful, and while it may not have been her direct place, Yori couldn't help but want to reach out to him, give him some kind of comfort in this time of turmoil.
Yuuki had left her behind with a hole in her heart, a sense of betrayal, and a broken Zero.
It's just the prologue. I'm going to attempt for Chapter 1 to be up tonight as well, because I'm too involved with this idea to leave it sitting for too long. But, if I don't, it's only because it's New Years Eve. Which I hope you all have a great one! This part is sooooo boring! We all already know this, but I just haaaad to set ground for the story to take place. I'm nit-picky. Sorry :(
