Chapter 1

"Mama!" the little girl cried from her bedroom. No answer, not a sound was made other than footsteps coming from below her room. The young girl pulled the blanket up to her head, trying to hide behind the thin material. She waited; the heavy footsteps began to fade away one by one. The door to her room suddenly her door burst open.

"Mama!" her mother darted to her, yanking her from her bed. She carried the young girl down the hall of the mansion to the master suite. On the far side of the room stood a mirror with towering height that took up the entire wall. The mother reached behind the mirror, and the young girl heard a soft click. The mirror slid to the side of the wall revealing a large steel door.

Before they could get through the door though, the master suite was intruded by two men dressed in all black. The child turned to look, behind her were two vampire hunters each holding silver pistols.

"Hand that thing over, and we will leave peacefully" one of the men commanded. Her mother hesitated a moment before putting the girl down behind her.

"Can I at least say good bye to her?" the woman pleaded. The other male nodded. The woman then turned around and faced the little girl; hugging her she put her mouth to her daughter's ear.

"Don't come out until daddy or Lord Aido comes to get you" the woman pulled back to expose her tear stained face, "No matter what always know that I love you, and that you are meant to great things." The woman pulled away and stood toward the men.

"We have orders by the hunter's association to seize the child, and take you into custody."

"You will never have her!" the woman then pushed her daughter into the secret room that was behind the mirror. But before the door sealed, the little girl saw the men lunge at her mother. There was nothing she could do, but watch as the men tied her down and brought a blade to her neck…..

Yori woke with a start, breathing violently, and sweat pouring off of her. Get a grip! It's been ten years; the hunters think I'm dead. They don't even know my name so they can't come looking for me.

Yori missed her mother deeply, but she would rather think of the happy times they had together rather than that dreadful night. She looked over to find her dorm mate, sleeping peacefully. It was only 4:30 and they would need to get up soon anyway. The night class would be leaving to go back to the moon dorms, and even though Yori wasn't a guardian like Yuki she still went and watched from afar.

Yori knew the night class were vampires, but didn't tell her best friend, Yuki, that she knew. Things would get to complicated and Yori didn't want the night class to find out who really was. Yori didn't like or want to be the center of attention, from the day or the night class. So she chose to stay in the shadows, observing and learning as much as she could.

Her dorm mate's voice startled her out of her thoughts, "Yori are you alright?" Yuki sat up in her bed inspecting her.

Yori chose to dodge the question, "Isn't it me who is always asking you that question? I mean the headmaster has you working at all hours of the night." Yuik laughed at the comment knowing that it was true. That's how it usually worked these days; Yuki would be doing various guardian duties and Yori would fuss on if she was getting enough rest, food, etc.

"I'm going to take a shower before we go meet the night class," Yori said hopping she would forget her traumatic dream, if only to make it through the day.

"That's fine wake me up when you get back." Yuki muttered rolling over to face the wall.

It was too early so the hall was quiet, and Yori didn't have to wait in line for a shower. Going to the far stall she pulled the curtain back and step into the shower. She peeled off her night cotton night gown and turned on the shower. Even though it was early fall and a little chilly, she still took a cold shower as she always did. Yori always loved the cold, especially if it was snowing.

After washing her hair she exited the shower. She hadn't brought her uniform with her, so she wrapped a towel around her; she peaked out the door before she left scouting the hall. Boys weren't allowed in the girls dorm at this time but it was better to be safe than sorry. Seeing an empty hall she realized she took a shower even faster than she usually did.

She made her way quickly down the hall, but before she reached her dorm, something outside the widow to her left caught her eye. It was a night class student standing there. He was looking at her in only a towel. The student smiled at her, but it wasn't just any night class student it was Hanabusa Aido blush began to form on her cheeks as she ran to her dorm. She slammed the door shut, waking up Yuki in the process.

"Ugg. Just five more minuets Yori." When Yori didn't answer Yuki turned over to see her best friend at the door only in a towel with a blush crossing her cheeks.

"Yori? Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine I just took a hot shower for the first time in a long time." Yori said trying to get her dorm mate to not question her blush.

"A hot shower, are you serious? You never take a hot shower!" Yuki exclaimed.

"I just wanted to do something to do something different, I guess." Maybe this was just the beginning, maybe this year was going to be different after all.
