Chapter 27
It was night once more and the Night Class students followed their usual routine of going to the library. They copied down the following, which was the Vampyr Code.
Of politics: they who have the sweetest blood must be protected. Protect the Monarchy, the Queen and her Children. [The following is an Amendment by the Contract of Blood and Crosses, July 1789] The Vampire Council is born and there is now a constitutional Monarchy. The people to decide, through voting.
Of status: the status of a vampyr is based on parentage and blood
Level OThe Monarchy
Level APurebloods
Level BAristocrats
Level CCommons
Level DDamphyr
Level EEnd [see nine]
There can be no change in status, but children can be on a different level of status as their parents. Mixed race mating and marriage lead to the parents and their children to on different levels of status.
An Aristocrat is any children in the generations following the union of a Pureblood and a Damphyr, a Common and a Pureblood or a Damphyr and a Common, depending on the parentage of a Damphyr. [see four]
A Damphyr is a mix of a vampyr of any status and a human. [The following is an Amendment by the Contract of Blood and Crosses, July 1789] The Damphyr are forbidden children. From now on, their status is level F: Forbidden Fruit.
A Common is the child of a Damphyr, and an Aristocrat plus the subsequent generations after if they miz only with Damphyr or Common blood. Of course if a Common mates with a Pureblood, then their children will be Aristocrats.
Humans are not to be changed into vampyr, unless, during the process of mating. If not the child of a vampyr and human are Damphyr. If the process is completed during mating, the consent of the human in the relationship must be honoured. [The following is an Amendment by the Contract of Blood and Crosses, July 1789] Never bite a human to change them into vampyr.
[The following is an Amendment by the Contract of Blood and Crosses, July 1789] Level E is an added category for vampyr that were ex-humans, but have not drunk the blood of their parent (vampyr) then lost their sanity. They are used for military purposes.
Of marriage and mating: marriages are political and are arranged by families, or between a human and a vampyr with out politics; mating is the will to procreate, which is determined by love and or strength. One can be married and still be mated to another. It is a crime to break a blood bond, a bond created by blood during the mating process due to the psychological problems that will plague those who have their bonds broken whether they initiated this sever or not. Although it is not a punishment, those who commit this crime are to be executed when their condition makes them a danger to society. [The following is an Amendment by the Contract of Blood and Crosses, July 1789] Mating is banned, but marriage is not, due to the vampyr being a separate race.
It took them about an hour to copy, but then they always relaxed after copying one thing or another, marking the page for the next section, then going on to pursue their interests, like swimming, sports and etc. There were enough facilities for such activities on the grounds of Shichiyou castle.
Meanwhile at Kurosu Academia several new students preparing to enter, their names were Mori (Hokage) Kurei and Vlad Draculae. They were to enter the Night Class.
At the moment, they were sitting in the Headmaster's office, listening to his speech.
"I trust you can understand Japanese?" he aimed this question toward Vlad Draculae because it was obvious that Mori (Hokage) Kurei did, especially because of the look that was being sent at him.
"Of course," said Vlad with a fanged smirk. "…but most of this is learned from my…ah…meals. Before they go, I examine their memories."
"Ah…of course. I suppose I have to give you the protocol." He began to list off the school rules, which are as follows:
As a vampire, you are not reveal your identity to the Day Class:
Tell them what you are
Drink their blood, even if you wipe their memories of the instant
Show your powers
Instead of drinking the blood of humans you will take these blood tablets with water.
You are to wear the Night Class Uniform.
Do not skip class.
You are not to romance with humans:
No flirting
No touching
No sex
If you do not follow these rules, the Disciplinary Committee will make sure you are punished accordingly: whether it be detention, suspension or expulsion. By the way…three detentions, one suspension; three suspensions lead to expulsion. [see 7]
Failing to comply with numbers 3, 4, 5 A and B will land you in detention. Failing to comply with numbers 1, 2 and 5 C will land you in suspension. Failure to comply with this three times [see 6]
"There is something you need to know, before escorted to the Moon Dorms. The three vampire prefects are not available. Our human prefects will escort you to your dorms tonight, along with me. I would not like them to get hurt, you know?"
Vlad just smirked. This could be fun. Kurei looked at him bored. Recca…you should be here soon. It's been a long time…
~~~Spokes corner for the doomed one~~~
Wow. Lots of rules, no? I mean in total. So…what would you like to happen next? Recca to come or some one else? Oh yes…I'll try to get the details right about Kaname and Yuki. Okay?" I need several weekends before that so…I will edit my story and add that part into ch. 27 I might also add several things to other chapters. =)
Now for the skit:
"Why are you ruining my work?" asked Bram Stoker.
"Am I?" I said innocently.
"You are," said Matsuri Hino bored. "I don't know whether to congratulate you or not, since this is written okay, but you seem to be running away from the character that I chose for Zero and Kaname.
"I am so sorry for what I have done," I said. "I messed up pretty badly." Don't kill me.
