And here I am again. As promised. This is a longer chapter. Hope you like it!

"Yuki….." I whispered

Without even noticing I stood up and went out of the café.
I stood now in front of it and opposite of the two. How was that possible?
I observed them. Yuki just shouted at the boy and punched him in the arm. The purple eyed boy looked down amused and said "Yuki it was a joke. Seriously! " His voice held a tingle of annoyance in it.
"Come on, we should go back.", said the silver haired boy and went on. Yuki just huffed and ran after him. As they went past me, Yuki and my eyes met and she smiled shy at me. I smiled back, but hoped it looked not too forced. Only now I saw that they were wearing, it was a uniform. So they must go to that Cross Academy on the hill.

Slowly I followed them. I wanted to know more about my sister, maybe…..just maybe Kaname was around.

'Stop thinking of him, Stupid!' I frowned at myself. Why couldn't I let him go? Is it too much to ask for? I sighed and went on. Just as I went past an alley, something jumped at me. Fortunately I had fast reflexes and so the creature crashed into the house behind me.
As the creature stood up I saw that it was a woman with red insane eyes. 'Level E' my mind supplied.
She stared at me for a few seconds and then a maniac grin spread across her face.

"Pureblood" with that she licked her lips and had her go at me. (attacked)

At first I was too shocked to move but at the last seconds I jumped back. She crashed into the ground, but her eyes didn't leave mine. 'How is that possible? My aura is masked! So, how can she identify me as a pureblood?" I thought totally perplex.

Because of this I missed her next attack and she crashed into me. It was with such a force that it sent us both flying into the next wall.
'Brilliant, just brilliant Shin!' I thought and tried to hold her away from me.
The level E raised her claw and brought it down across my chest. My eyes widened and I gasped at the pain. All the time I held her away from me, because now that the scent of my blood filled the air she was now more than ever out to sink her fangs into my neck.

'Excellent Shin! You could not for ONCE stay out of trouble!' , chided a voice in my head.
'No it's too much fun, to let the opportunity slide, to get my throat ripped out.' I replied sarcastic.

Slowly I got out of breath. It was exhausting to fight her off with that wound.
With my last power I threw her off of me and send her sailing through the air and crashing into a garbage container. With a groan I stood up and swayed a bit. I looked down at my chest and saw that my wound wasn't healing.

'Why should it! I haven't any blood in three weeks.' That was also the reason I was so weak. I chuckled, today was really not my day. The woman in the container rose slowly. I sighed, yep today was soooo not my day.

So what do I do now? Either stand here or fight or….turn tail and…..RUN! Oh yeah I was for the second suggestion, so I turned and ran as fast as I could.

I needed to find help as soon as possible! The woman hadn't given up, she was a couple of meters behind me. 'SHIT' I thought and ran faster.
I came to a cross road. 'Ok where to, where to?' I thought desperate. I decided for the way that went into the woods. I couldn't run into the town and endanger innocent people.
I dipsy doodled through the forest and tried to throw her off.

Just as I thought I managed it, she appeared in front of me.
'Damn it!`I cursed in my head. 'Why can't she just leave me alone?'
My pace was too fast to even try to avoid her, so I crashed into her at with all my strength.
"Argh" I groaned as I landed on the hard ground. 'That HURT'

Slowly I opened my eyes and looked straight into two blood red irises.
'This woman is full of surprises' I thought perplex ', How could she sneak up on me without me even noticing?'
While I was preoccupied with my thoughts, I didn't notice how she prepared to sink her fangs into me. As I realized it, it was too late to act.

I closed my eyes and waited for the pain and the feeling of this fangs tearing into my neck.
But just as her fangs grazed my neck, a shot rang through the air.
I tore my eyes open and saw the how the Level E above me slowly turned to dust.
I gave a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. But it was a mistake to let my guard down, then not a second later I felt a hard, cold metal pressed against my forehead.
Slowly I opened my eyes and was met with the sight of an anti-vampire gun. She was silver and had the name Bloody Roseengraved in its side.

"What's your name and what are you doing here, Vampire!" , demanded a cold voice.
I tore my eyes from the gun and gazed at the speaker.
My eyes widened as realization struck me. He was the boy, who was with Yuki in the town.
It seemed that my silence was too long, because the silver haired boy pressed the gun harder against my head and let out an aggravated sigh.
"Answer the question, Vampire!"

I began slowly to panic. When he pressed any harder my blood would spill and that I wanted avoid at any price. My wound just healed and if Kana-nii was really here or anywhere near my blood would alert him to my appearance and that is not something I want him to notice. I wanted it to be a surprise. (Smirk)

As it was, I needed a new name …and fast, then it appeared that my opponent was losing his patient with me.
'Ok, THINK!"

"Ähm, my name is ….ähm….. Yuichi ….. Kazuki!", I breathed out. 'Phew that was close.'
"What are you doing here, Vampire!"

'Oh come on! Can't you give me a little brake to think of something!' As it was, no.
'Think Shin, think!' Naturally nothing came up so I said the first thing that came to my mind.
"I'm here to meet the headmaster." 'Ok that was a decent answer. I'm proud of myself!'
I couldn't repress a grin.
He looked at me for a minute, deciding whether I was trustworthy or not. I think he decided I was, then he got up, but didn't put the gun away.
'Better safe, than sorry.' I thought
Nervously I stood up and looked at him warily.
We stared at each other, till a voice cut through the air.
"Zero!", shouted Yuki, as she appeared at the meadow, with Artemis in her hands.
As she took in the scene in front of her she looked back and forth with confusion in her eyes.
"What's going on here? Zero?" she asked as she decided that I was no danger and looked at her partner.
"This Vampire said he is here to meet the headmaster." I could hear the doubt in his voice till here.
Slowly my patient was also running low.
"My have a name, got it? So don't call me Vampire!" I all but hissed. 'Really! I didn't do anything to him, at least he could be friendly towards me.'
Yuki took a step back and raised the rod towards me as I hissed this at the boy, but said boy only stared at me, then huffed and turned around and went to Yuki. Perplex I stared after him.

'This boy is insufferable!' I thought.
Yuki took slowly a step towards me, she bowed her head slightly at me and said:" It's nice to meet you. My name is Yuki Cross and I'm a perfect at Cross Academy. And that's my partner and brother Zero Kyriuu."
I looked at her taken aback. 'Cross…..? Why would she introduce herself as Yuki Cross? And BROTHER?'
Deciding it was the best to play along. I too bowed my head and Introduced myself.
"It's my pleasure to meet you, Yuki-san, Kyriuu-kun. My name is Sh…..Yuichi Kazuki!"
'God! How thick can you be! Why don't you just say your real name!' I scolded at myself.
"Come on we will bring you to the chairman.", with that said, they turned around and started to walk.
No choice but to follow I sighed and started to walk.
We were walking through the woods for ca 15 minutes till we finally stood in front of a house. I looked around and saw a school building not so far away and two houses a bit wider away.

As I looked at the school building I got an unsettling feeling.
'Funny, it's night, why should there be something?' I thought. Unsure I closed my eyes and concentrated. In the next second I tore my eyes open and cursed under my breath. 'Damn! What are nobles and a Pureblood doing here? Oh god I hope I'm wrong!' I thought desperately, but I didn't think I was wrong. I could even say I'm to 100% sure that I'm right, but a little part of me wanted to deny it.

"Are you coming?" tore me a voice from my thoughts. I looked at Yuki and nodded.
We went into the house and up the stairs till we stopped in front of a door. Yuki knocked and waited.
A cheerful voice said "Come in.", and the next second a man ran at us shouting "My wonderful daughter and handsome son!"
The two of them stepped aside, but I did realize to late why. The next thing I know was, that I had an armful of a man, who was supposed to be the CHAIRMAN and was lying on the floor. I looked down at the man and then up at the two perfects. Kyriuu-kun leaned at the wall and looked at us with a frown at his face and Yuki looked sorry.
"Chairman could you please let go of me." I said in an even tone and tried not to throw the man off me.
"Huh", he looked up at me and then turned to Yuki "My daughter!" and hugged her.
Yuki gave a frustrated sigh. "Chairman could you please let go of me?"
"Call me Otou-san!"
"Chairman!", shouted an aggravated Kiryuu-kun while he was glaring daggers at the man.

The man seemed to come down, than he coughed and sat back into his chair behind the desk.
"So, what brings you to me?"
"We found him on the Academy's ground while he was attacked by a Level E. He said he wanted to meet you.", explained an angry Kyriuu.
I fidget slightly with the hem of my shirt as the Chairman looked at me with a serious gaze.
"Good. You can leave now." Said a serious chairman
Kiryuu-kun left but Yuki hesitated for a moment. She gave me a reassuring smile and then left as well.
I turned around when the door closed.
"Please have a seat." Said the chairman and pointed at the chair in front of the desk.
Reluctantly I went to it and sat down.
"Thanks." I mumbled
He nodded and observed me.
"My name is Kaien Cross and I'm the headmaster of Cross Academy. I would like to know why you are here." , he said dead serious.
I gulped and looked at my hands. I took a deep breath to calm myself and then looked him straight in the eyes
"My name is Yuichi Kazuki and I'm a noble Vampire." It had his good sides to be able to mask it's aura. I grinned.

Chairman Cross looked at me for a long time. Something was off about him.
"I'm also an ex-hunter and know when somebody lies to me.", he said and stared me down.
'Shit!', was all I could think.
Kaien leaned back and folded his hands.
"Why don't you try it with the truth?"
'Should I? I don't know!' I was panicking.
"I will tell you the truth, but under one condition! You must promise that you will not tell anyone about this, understood?" , I said dead serious.
He thought about it for a minute then looked back at me.
"I promise!"
"Nobody will know!", I said insistently.
"Nobody.", he confirmed.

I took a deep breath and said:" My name….is….Shin Kuran.", and waited.
I watched as it slowly sunk in. His eyes widened.
"You are….Juuri's son…..and Kaname-kun's brother!", he said totally perplex.
I winced at the name of my mother and brother.
"Yes…", I said brokenly.
He just stared at me in awe and didn't know what to say.
"But I must insist to remember you of your promise. Nobody needs to know!"
Cross looked at me doubtfully.
"What about your brother?"
I willed myself not to show any emotion.
"He doesn't need to know …..yet."
Pity and doubt was what greeted me, when I looked into his eyes.
"Okay, I promise."
I gave a sigh of relief and said: „Thank you."
The only thing he did was nod at me.
'It's a relief to have finally someone to talk to.' I thought. 'It was as if a great burden was lifted from my shoulders.'
"Can you please tell me what happened while I was …'in that hell hole'….not here?" I asked.
He took his glasses off and told me how my mother died while erasing Yukis memories. How he took Yuki in on Kanames request and raised her. That Kaname was under Asato Ichijos care. I shuddered at that part. I knew that old bastard. 'How could they send Kaname to this man?'
He told me about the Academy, of the coexistence between human and vampires.
As he ended, he looked years older.

I couldn't help it, but I was angry at Kaname and jealous of Yuki.
'How is it that I was raised by this monsters and Yuki got a father and brother that love her. A family. How can it be that she was raised with care and love while I was beaten and shouted at? Why did Kaname this to me? Did he hate me so much?'

I was so lost in my dark thoughts I didn't notice that Cross observed me the whole time. If I had I would have seen sorrowful eyes as they looked at me.
He coughed and said: "Why can we not continue this conversation tomorrow. You are tiered and need some sleep. Come on I'll show you the guest room.", with that he stood up and walked out of the room. I followed him.
We came to a door at the end of the aisle. "That's your room. The bathroom is there. In the cabinet above the sink is a fresh toothbrush. A pyjama is on the bed. Oh and here." He gave me a little box. As I opened it, it was full of white pills. Confused I looked up. "These are blood tablets. They are to still your hunger. I hope you sleep well. Good night." With that he turned around and left. I stood there for a few seconds. I shook my head and went into the room.

It was a nice little room.
'I think I like it here.' I thought with a little smile on my lips.
I looked out of the window and saw the school building with its stone walls and big shiny windows.
Curiosity took hold of me and I decided for a little night stroll.
I opened the window and jumped out of it. I landed on the ground and walked slowly toward the school.
When I came nearer I saw Yuki and Kiryuu-kun standing in front of the door. Just out of precaution I stayed behind a bush.
Slowly the door cracked open and out came the night class. All of them were wearing the white uniform and were as beautiful as model. 'Just like me.' I scanned through the crowd and stopped at the very first person at the top, who was leading them.

As I recognized the person, who was leading the night class, all blood left my face.
I could only stand there and watch.
I saw as he made his way to Yuki and talked with her, saw the blush on her face.
Unconsciously I clenched my hands to fists. 'Why?' asked a little voice full of despair in my head.
I watched as he smiled at her and went on, as he passed me without even noticing me or glance at me.
I watched him, as he made his way to the moon dormitory.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I allowed my tears to run down my cheeks. I sobbed as I fell down on my knees. Because I was behind the bush, nobody would take notice of me.
"Kana-nii." I whispered.
