Hi there, this would be my first time to write in Vampire Knight. Please take care of me, and I hope a lot of people reviews.

I've been in love with Greek Mythology since I was younger. Um, the concept didn't fit La Corda D'oro, which I'm always writing for, and I'm addicted to VK so I thought to myself, why not make one? And here it is...and comments are welcome. Though my fics in La Corda are well reviewed, that doesn't mean people will love my stories here too...so, I just hope you'd let me know if this is okay to you liking dear readers.

If there are any fictions similar to this, please don't be offended, this idea is really fresh from my daydreams in one of my Chinese periods.

Chapter 1

"Apollo!" Artemis called her brother as he stormed out of the Hall of gods.

Apollo stopped momentarily to look at his sister then continued walking, "What Artemis? Can't you tell I want to be alone?"

"Please brother. Why won't you agree? Aphrodite is really beautiful! And what's more she loves you."

Apollo rolled his eyes. He trudged into the Garden and picked up his bow along the way.

"Where are you going?" Artemis asked worriedly.

"Shooting. And maybe stay 'there' for a few days." then he reached his hand out to his sister, asking for something.

Artemis sighed and reached behind her, taking an arrow from her quiver. She handed it to him with a frown. "That's my favorite."

Apollo smiled softly, "Don't worry, I'll return it in perfect condition." then he dashed further into the garden until he reached a golden gate. He pushed open the gates and was engulfed by a bright light.

"Your brother?" Leto asked Artemis.

"Human world. He's going to clear his head." Artemis answered.

Leto sighed, "That brother of yours..."

"He's free-willed Mother. I doubt that he could fall in love with anyone." she said, then she turned to Aphrodite, who was about to leave, "Sorry, I feel bad. You may be the goddess of love and beauty but you can't have the one you want." Artemis sighed.

Aphrodite smiled gently, her radiance unexplainable. "It's fine." she said, "He's really a thick-headed person after all these years, isn't he?" she was grinning at her best friend.

Artemis sat on a fountain and dipped her finger, doing a circular movement all the while. Soon an image appeared---Apollo, in his human form.

Still handsome with glory. His smile remains the same. His eyes remained the same color---amethyst colored one and but his usually dark silver hair changed into a lighter one. His matured, godly features changed into a face that indicated trouble. If you didn't really know him well, you wouldn't know it's the same Apollo.

"Zero is on the loose already." Artemis murmured.

Aphrodite giggled. "I really prefer that self of his."

----Kyoto----

Apollo/Zero rushed to the forest behind a temple. Thinking all along.

Zero's POV

I don't want to comply with that arranged marriage to Aphrodite. Se's beautiful. True. And desired by plenty of people, but she's not the one my heart yearns for.

I continued running, sweating already. This is why I don't like my mortal form. Imperfect. Though I still have a few of my heavenly characteristics still intact. My speed and stamina, Soon I reached the foot of a mountain. I walked around searching for a prey.

I couldn't find a suitable one. I had to shoot out my frustrations soon. I didn't care anymore as I ran further into the thick forest. And finally I saw an owl flying overhead. I shot it. I immediately ran to get it. I better hurry before the god who owns the owl know about it.

I stopped when I heard the rustling of bushes near where the bird fell. I slowly parted the branches blocking my view. I froze with what I saw.

In the middle of the clearing was a girl, the wounded owl on her arms. She had sleek black hair, and when she raised her face to look at me when she heard my advances, she had blood red eyes (Its her eyes in the anime, I wonder why I see some pictures with her having golden ones...Yuuki, I mean).

"A goddess?" Zero wondered, then I shook my head.

Even if I don't know the faces of all the gods and goddesses, she can't be one. Because those from above...girls especially, hate sitting on dirt or on a pile of dead leaves, they'd complain easily, count my sister on that.

"Were you...were you the one who shot this poor bird?" she asked, tears falling, though she had a fierce glare.

I stayed silent, but I went near her. I reached my hand out.

She just glared at me.

I tried to speak and realized my throat was dry. Where's my composure? This is why I hate my mortal form. Makes me too...human...

"I could to something about it..." I said.

"What? Try to end its life like it's an act of justice and pity?"

I sighed, showing no emotion. Just boredom. I knelt beside her and placed my hand just above the bird.

I watched her reaction as my hand glowed, I gently took out Artemis' arrow and the wound of the bird closed. Her face was expressionless as she watched.

When I was done, the owl immediately flew off. I was really curious why she hasn't reacted. But I didn't show it. Silence is the best.

"You shouldn't shoot any bird without any thought. You..." she turned to look at me, "But be the god of healing and of archery, Apollo-sama."

I jerked in surprise. She could tell?

She pointed at her clothing and that's when I realized. She's a priestess. A keeper. But who's temple does she keep? And how come she knows that gods appear in human forms? How can she see. Has someone violated the law and had a relationship with a mortal? And even so, not all gods even possess the power to see through other gods' disguises...

"Athena-sama. I have her blood in me. The ability to see through a god's disguise has been passed down for generations when my anscestor helped Athena when she was wounded." she said.

Yes. We are that old. Immortal as we are. Of course we don't age...unless we've found our mate, our partner for life.

Thank goodness I haven't found that person yet. But...as I stared into this girl...mortal girl's eyes, I find myself being drawn into them.

"In this world, they call me Zero." I said, my voice a bit cold. I couldn't help it. That's just how my mortal personality has been. Distant from others."

"Yuuki..." she said, and she bowed her head slightly, "I'm sorry for the outburst a while ago Zero-sama, but that bird is sacred to Athen-sama."

I shrugged. Athena. I haven't really met her and I have no intention of saying sorry to her.

"Zero. Just Zero. In this world, I'm just like you and your people." I said, a bit disgusted, though I hadn't really meant it to be heard.

She laughed, suddenly in a good mood, "I can tell that you detest that idea."

I was suddenly amused, but I didn't show it. She knows I'm a god yet she acts that way toward me, taking my advice in too quickly. I guess she's been interacting with other gods for a while.

"How long have you been talking with other gods?" I asked.

She shool her head, "You're actually the first one I've been able to talk to in person. Thought sometimes I talk to Athena-sama, it's only her voice I hear."

"And yet you don't act astonished."

"Though I can see, I can only do so if I wish. Right now, you're just an ordinary human, a while ago you might be Apollo-sama, but now you're not."

"You really adjust well." I finally voiced out.

She giggled and smiled.

And that finally won me out. Though I hadn't realized it yet.

A/N: Review please. Any suggestions are welcome to improve this fic. Please be nice. It's my first time here in VK.
