Thank you to everyone who reviewed, or added this story to favs/alerts or author favs/alerts. The fact that people want to read this and have taken the time to review/add to alerts/favs makes me very happy. I am very sorry for not having relied to any reviews yet, school just started after easter break and wanted to re-post this chapter. So I will try to reply at very least before the weekend.
Summary: Zero and Kaname have always been similar, with similar traumatic experiences and pasts. Both are drawn to one another, though they loath to admit it. As they both know the biggest difference Zero is a level D, who will one day fall to level E, while Kaname is a pureblood. These facts will constantly threaten any possible relationship they have, as enemies, friends or perhaps something more…However a new Day Class student seems to have hidden secrets which concern Zero, and when the truth is revealed what will it change?
This will be a Yaoi fic, which is M/M with ZeroXKaname and vice versa. There will possibly be some TakumaXShiki as well. Some possible other pairings but Kaname/Zero Zero/Kaname will be the main one. This will mostly be Romance, Drama and possibly Humour.
A.n. This is slightly AU as Ichiru died when Shizuka was killed and Zero has not got any of her blood– so there is nothing to stop Zero falling to level E. Kaname hasn't yet given Zero any blood and Yuki is still human. Also Rido hasn't yet attacked the academy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or its characters, they are the work of Matsuri Hino, I am just borrowing them for the purpose of this fic. All I own are my own characters and the plot line.
This is going to switch pov's, and I apologize for any OOCness.
Pureblood Powers
Chapter 1 – New Student
The next day (early evening/late afternoon)
Zero's pov
It sure is getting colder lately, then again term starts in tomorrow. I will have to get back to being the school guardian, 'guarding' those bloodsuckers. Why Kaien lets them into school is completely beyond me, he knows the risk they bring him yet he still lets them in. Even that Pureblood bastard Kaname Kuran, he's a Pureblood, think of the trouble he could cause if he bit someone! And Yuki! She knows what he is and is still completely devoted to him, hell I bet she'd become a vampire if he swore his unending love or something stupid, like that.
Melodramatic as ever (little voice in Zero's head) so still not ready to accept your fate. Damn that stupid waitress in the café "you're from the Cross Academy night class aren't you" why did she have to say that, ever since then those words flow round and round my head, I am like them a …Vampire. I can sort of understand why humans are so in thrall of vampires though, they are very beautiful, even…Kuran…actually make that especially Kuran, purebloods are have to be above the rest, even Shizuka Hio was beautiful. But still they are VAMPIRES, no matter how good looking they are, and I am one of them, a blood sucking beast in human form. Not only that but a level D, too and the dam bloodsucking pureblood bastard killed Shizuka Hio and so that's all I will ever be…a level D, who will fall to level E. NO, no don't think about that think about something else…Yuki, her sweet smile and soft brown hair. Waves, soft chocolate brown waves, hang on back up Yuki does not have chocolate brown waves of hair that's Kaname WHAT THE HELL, I did not just start thinking about Kana – Kuran. This is all getting to confusing. Sleep that's what I need a nice nap out here in the stables.
Yuki's pov
I sure Zeros round here some where, I have to tell him Headmaster wants to see us about a new student, he seemed really agitated – maybe it's a Night Class student, and we all remember how well that turned out, when a new one joined last year. But he seemed positive Zero must meet them and he wasn't last year. Oh well.
Normal pov
"Hey Zero. Where are you? Zero! Headmaster wants to see us, it really important!"
"I'm coming Yuki! You don't have to shout! I'm over here" –honestly she is so noisy.
Yuki ran towards the stables and Zero.
"We have to go and see the headmaster. I think its something to do with a new student starting tomorrow. Whatever it was Headmaster sounded kind of flustered. We have to hurry, Zero"
"Stop stressing Yuki, he's probably got in to a fuss over nothing, probably another oh so wonderful Night Class student. Though why he wants me to meet a Night Class student I don't know, especially as he is disturbing my rest. And the Night Class is returning, he'll be so happy after all its been all summer now. Also the fact that a new school year is staring (a.n. I know the Japanese school year starts in April but I'm using the English start date in September, as it fits better with the storyline also that way I know all the term dates) and so he can continue with his dreams of pacifism."
Yuki's pov
Zero…he's being colder than usual. I know term starts tomorrow and that he dislikes the night class but he seems more annoyed than he was last year. Then again this year he's a vampire maybe that's why, though he isn't usually like this…oh no, what if he needs blood?
"Zero are you hungry…you know for blood? You can take it-"
"Shish, Yuki just cos I'm a vampire doesn't mean I need blood all the time. I'm fine now, let's just go and see what the Headmaster wants."
Zero's pov
Sometimes I wonder if she was dropped on her head at birth. I don't want to take her blood I hate hurting her, it hardly helps and it doesn't actually taste that nice. The only blood that would help is Shizuka's…or another pureblood…I read that the decent to level E can be delayed by drinking another purebloods blood even if they didn't turn you. Like either of those is going to happen now, Shizuka's dead and…the only pureblood I know is that basted Kuran, and he'd probably be glad to see me gone and away form his dear Yuki.
Normal pov
Lost in thought Zero and Yuki arrived at Headmaster Kaien's office. Yuki reached up to knock on the door, calling out
"Headm- Farther, Zero and I have come. I found Zero by the stables."
"Come in, I have something I want to discuss with you both."
And with that said Yuki opened the door to the office steeping inside followed by Zero.
"Ah, Yuki! Zero! A new student arrived today and –"
"Term starts tomorrow, just because you have a student arriving early, you disturb my sleeping!"
"Zero I was getting to why they came early, and no there not Night class, they came early to meet you both. They are the daughter of some dear friends of mine, who were killed a few years ago and so she has been living with relatives, but has now been old enough to attend Cross Academy for a year, but couldn't attend last year. As it is so long since I have seen her I was very exited and she was eager to meet her parents friend and his children –"
"Headmaster Kaien, while I do owe you a lot I gave no consent to become your son. Please stop babbling your rubbish to new students."
"She also knows of your situation Zero. Her parents too were killed by a vampire, luckily she was not there at the time and was unharmed, but both her parents and her two siblings were killed, please be nice to her. I wanted to take her in at the time but it was unfortunately not possible. She will be joining you both as a new second year student (a.n. they are both now second year students) and if all goes well may join you on the Disciplinary Committee and as a Guardian, as she knows to secret of the Night class and has promised to keep that secret. Anyways that's enough explaining for now."
Outside Kaien's office
He should have finished explaining by now, I have to keep my cool and act normal…like I could ever act normal. Still first impressions count. Though this day class uniform sure is annoying, why is the skirt so short! At least the pocket is big enough to keep things in. Anyway back to now, remember normal and remember your Alanna Kinoto. Not …her, not who you were, Alanna Kinoto that's who you are, for the moment anyway. Slowly, with a slightly trembling hand, I knock softly on the door once.
"Come in!"
And I slowly open the door and step inside.
"Yuki, Zero please meet the girl I have been taking about. Alanna Kinoto-san"
"Alanna-san this is my darling daughter Yuki Cross and our friendZero Kiryu"
"It is a pleasure to meet you Kinoto-san, or would you prefer Alanna-san?"
"Either is fine Cross-san and –"
"Please call me Yuki a friend of my fathers can be a friend of mine…if you want Alanna-san."
Zero stood and stared the girl, Alanna Kinoto, there was something different about her. He couldn't sense vampire or vampire hunter, just human. But something about her just made her seem…different, from Yuki or the headmaster she seemed more like…himself actually. Not in looks however, she had long light golden brown curls flowing down her back with just the sides pinned back with a clasp and soft hazel eyes also she was very short, just a little taller than Yuki, but she had a sort of feeling about her, one that he recognised in himself…and in Kaname…the annoying little voice in his head provided this unwanted piece of information. Maybe that's it he decided she just seems different because she has had a similar experience to me and so that's why, and it shocked me because it's a bit like Kana – Kuran's as well (a.n. Kaname lost his parents at a young age too). Satisfied that his brain had come up with a perfectly logical explanation he took the hand that was outstretched to him and shook it carefully.
"It is nice to meet you Kinoto-san"
"Nice to meet you too, you must be Kiryu-kun, but please you can call me Alanna-san"
The headmaster smiled glad that both Yuki and Zero had accepted her, and neither seemed to realise what she really was, he thought Zero might being a hunter…and a vampire too…but it seemed like he hadn't, she must be better at hiding her true self than he had first thought, but there was still Kaname and the rest of the night class, still if she could fool Zero then she could fool anyone…hopefully. Well good luck Alanna, he thought.
"please show Alanna-san round the sun dormitory, school and grounds so that she will be familiar with them, as school starts tomorrow and it may be difficult with everyone arriving, I'm counting on you two Yuki and Zero, to help her fit in after all she hasn't attended school properly since the attack."
"Headmaster Cross, you make it sound like I am a social recluse or something. Though it is a long time since I was around so many people of my own age…"
Alanna's pov
Yuki and Zero seem okay, Yuki is seriously like the headmaster, even if she isn't his real daughter, I guess they have been living like that for about 11 years now so his nature probably rubbed of on her. And Zero…well I'm not sure he's who I'm looking for yet, and even if he is I don't want to ruin things for him, if he's fine so I will wait and see how he is before rushing into things. Though he does seem to have a kind of sadness about him, in fact it seemed almost the same as my own, I guess he did have a traumatic experience. I feel bad about deceiving them, even if what they know is halfway truthful, but the headmaster agreed with me that it was for the best and it is way too complicated to explain my situation properly, if I have too I will but I drought Zero will believe me unless he's the one I looking for. So this way is probably for the best. Also with school starting tomorrow I don't want to get behind, so I will have to work hard after all I haven't ever really attended school, that's the other reason to come here really I wanted to attend a school…while I still can.
End of chapter 1
I did want to have this a bit longer but I had to stop somewhere. I am sorry if you don't like fics where people do a lot of talking, but I tend to write that way, also there is a lot of back and forth talking at the moment and I plan to have less of that as the story progresses. I know much hasn't happened yet but this stuff at the start is important for the main plot that I have planned out. Please Review! XD
