Hello Everyone. I'm back.

I changed the story name from "The Beginning" to "Ruby Walkermen". I'm sorry if I had caused any confusion.

And in most of the story until Ruby met the Chairman, Everyone speaks in English.

The words in Italics are thoughts

*Chapter 2*

Ruby (currently still in America) POV

Looking up at the clear blue sky at Washington's international airport, I handed my small hand carried luggage over to Annabeth, my personal assistant.

"My Lady, do you really not need any other clothing articles than 3 sets of changing clothes? And why is Michael not going with you" Annabeth asked respectfully.

"No, I can easily get myself a whole new wardrobe. I only need my laptop, hand phone and other necessary articles." I calmly replied, ignoring the last question.

I boarded my own private jet that was painted in a baby blue coloured theme. I sat down in my seat and asked Annabeth to not allow anyone to disturb me after the plane took off. As soon as I was left alone, my cheerful façade drop and showed my cold and emotionless expression. Annabeth then sat down opposite of me.

I drop a tablet into my glass watching it dissolve into a sickly pale pink and I held it to my mouth to take a sip.

Well… this is really disgusting. How does Kuran actually stand these things?

"My Lady, why do you want to attend Cross Academy? And you"re not attending the night class but the day one, why?

"You never question my decisions" Tension was building up visibly.

"Yes, My Lady. I'm sorry, My Lady." Annabeth's voice trembled.

As the sun began rising over the horizon, I closed the shades and fell into a deep sleep.

Still Ruby POV

"My Lady, we have arrived at the Tokyo International Airport. It's time for you to wake up. The local time is 6.30pm. The temperature is 15oc."

I took a warm towel provided to clean my face, took my Coach wrist pouch then walked out of my private jet, with Annabeth dragging my luggage along.

Luckily, the sun is already setting so it does not really hurt my eyes.

I got into the Mercedes and my driver drove me to Cross Academy. On the way there, the scenery blurred past my car. But naturally, my eyes caught hints of snow from the past winter. On trees, on grass, on roofs of houses, post boxes… Then the sight of the majestic gates of Cross Academy appeared in front of my eyes.

I told my driver in English, "Let me off here, I'll go in on my own."

He replied, "Of course, my lady."

I swung open the door of my Mercedes, taking in the sights in front of me while Annabeth quietly trailed behind me.

"Remember Annabeth, hide your aura or people will know you are not human but vampire. To make things worse you are a pureblood," I whispered

I walked to the majestic gates I had seen earlier and stopped there. The gates were carved with intricate designs.

"Excuse me, are you Ruby Walkermen?" A girl with short brown hair and wore a black uniform that consist of a long sleeve jacket and a short skirt.

Her eyes are chocolate brown. Hmm… It's very familiar. Oh right, the Kurans that must mean she is Yuuki Kuran, the Pureblood princess that was hidden away.

Putting on my cheerful façade, "Yes, I am Ruby. And you are?"

"Oh, I am such a scatterbrain. I am Yuuki Cross, nice to meet you and the jerk or guy beside me is Zero Kiriyu"

"The chairman has requested to see you when you reach so could you please come with me?" Zero nonchalantly said.

"Ok, could you please bring me there? People said Chairman Cross is a very nice man" I giggled. (A/N I know you readers must be thinking Ruby is weird but she is always cheerful in front of others)

Yuuki knocked on the door of Chairman Cross office, and I heard a cheerful "Come in!" Yuuki and Zero took the initiative to enter the room before me, and Yuuki warned me before hand that the chairman was a very expressive person.

Once I stepped into the room, I saw that Chairman Cross was hugging the life out of Yuuki, right then he had to notice me. He tried to hug me like what he had done to Yuuki but I side stepped before he could touch me. He collapsed to the floor crying.

Oooook… Although he looks nice but he always have a knowing look. I also know that this man Kaien Cross is an ex-vampire hunter, a legendary one in fact.

"So, I have filled up the registration forms, is there any other forms I have to complete?"

"Well", the chairman rocked on his heels, cocking his head to the side, "you have to fill up one regarding any achievements or degrees you have. And you are so beautiful…"

The chairman passed over a form and also a pen. I took up the pen, stooped over the form and started to fill up the form on my PHDs and such.

After five minutes, I was still filling up the form. The chairman looked curious at why I was taking up so much time. After one more minute, I looked up at him and passed the form back to him. As his eyes went down the list of my achievements, his jaw began to drop more and more.

Yuuki was alarmed at the chairman's expression and questioned, "What's wrong? Did she fill up the form wrongly?"

Kaien looked down at my form then to Yuuki, I could see him thinking of explaining to Yuuki, but he thought better of it and shoved the form to Yuuki. Yuuki began to have the same expression as the chairman.

Yuuki then handed back the form to Kaien Cross. Kaien then snapped up from his stupor and queried me "If you already finished your education, why do you still want a high school life?"

"Well… I want to relaxed and enjoy a high school life that I never had. And Chairman you need not speak to me in English, as you can see I have a PHD in Japanese."

(A/N From this part on everyone in this story will speak in Japanese unless there is a need to speak in English)

Just then, I sensed a very strong aura approaching this room, I looked at Annabeth and saw her nod her head minutely.

So that aura could only belong to Kuran Kaname, after all, he is the head of the Kuran clan.

He knocked on the door and asked "Chairman, may I come in?"

"Kaname-senpai!" Yuuki greeted the teenager that came in through the door.

"Yuuki…" Kaname's eyes visibly soften when they were directed towards her.

Obviously Yuuki likes Kaname and Kaname likes Yuuki too.

He has dark brown, shoulder length hair, a pair of deep red-brown eyes and is about 183cm.

Then, Kaname caught sight of me and politely inquired "So you are the new student that the Chairman has told me about, I'm Kuran Kaname, President of the Moon Dorm. And you are?"

"I'm Ruby Walkermen, President of Walkermen Cooperation."

"And also the name of the girl beside you?" Kaname queried

Annabeth finally opened her mouth for once "I am Annabeth Heo, attending this school together with Rub…"

Yuuki cut in "You mean you are THE President of THE Walkermen Cooperation?"

"Um… Yes is there any problem?"

"No, but you are a billionaire, Ruby. That means you're very rich" Yuuki hastily said trying to calm me.

"…"

Zero who was very annoyed and irritated by the fact that they were drifting away from the original subject and was wasting his time. Then he muttered something like "Girls". He walked out the Chairman's office without a glance.

"Yuuki, please bring Ruby and Annabeth to their room." Chairman requested.

Yuuki then guided me out of the room.

Kaname POV

I watched Yuuki guide the new student, Ruby, out of the Chairman's office.

Then, the chairman passed me the new girl's registration forms and achievements form. I looked at it and made a mental note to ask Aidou to research the background of the two girls.

Her features seemed too perfect for a human, only a vampire can have it. And for a human girl to get so many PHDs by the age of 15 is questionable too. Furthermore, she has such a good poker face that even I cannot read. Heo Annabeth … her surname sounds surprisingly familiar to the surname of Hiou Shizuka. However their aura of a human's, so they are none of my concern. I have more important things to do before doing so.

Back to Ruby's POV

"Here you go Ruby and Annabeth; we have reached your room. Remember tomorrow is Friday, but you start school next Monday."Yuuki kept nagging on about the rules in school.

Do you think I care about the rules in this school? I live by my own rules.

"Before you go I want to ask you something, Yuuki."

Being curious Yuuki answered "What?"

"Do you like Kuran Kaname?"

She blushed like a lobster and stuttered "Erm… Er… I remember I have something to do. Bye!"

She is so naïve and easy to tease. No wonder she has to have a Hunter(Level E) and Pureblood to protect her.
