~Ayame's POV POV~
After the Night Class students finally go to class, it's the job of the school prefects to ensure the safety of both the Night and Day Class, by making sure the Day Class students do not break curfew, and that the Night Class students don't bite anyone. Seems simple enough, while Yuki begins patrols, I tackle my first assignment, 'find my idiot brother who always skips out on patrols', long name I know. In reality I stopped looking for Zero about a half hour ago, right now I'm just exploring the campus, in search of a horse stable that one of the Day Class boys told me about. After walking around for twenty minutes in search of the stable I start to believe I am lost, all I see are trees and dirt, and then I hear the soft patter of footsteps.
Assuming it is a Day Class student that broke curfew I walk in that direction, and low and behold it's the horse stable, so I enter. I walk in examining all of the horses carefully to find my favorite; none of them really catches my attention until I see the most beautiful mare, with a gorgeous white mane. I pick a couple sugar cubes of a nearby shelf and slowly approach her with my hand extended to show her I'm no harm. Apparently, she still considers me a threat because she backs away,
"Here girl, I just want to pet you a little, that's all…" I whisper, it seems to do the trick because she come closer to me with her head bowed to eat the sugar cubes,
"That's a good girl, there now. What's your name?" I wonder aloud as I pet her.
"Its White Lily." The sound of Zero's voice startles me causing be to jump and back away from Lily taking the sugar cubes with me,
"The hell are you doing Zero? You scared me half to death!" I almost shout at him, but refrain not wanting to scare the horse,
"Well I was sleeping, until you started bothering Lily," Zero said as he glared at me.
"The hell you are! You're supposed to be helping Yuki and me with patrols, not napping in a barn. You lazy bastard." I said angrily, causing Zero's glare to intensify.
Zero simply laid there glaring back at me for about a minute until he rose and asked me in a mocking tone, "is this what you call patrolling? Because the horses are not the ones that need supervision, Ayame."
For a split second I gaped at him, 'that's a good question' I thought, and then I remembered Yuki's orders and smirked at the silver haired idiot,
"well I would be patrolling, but Yuki, my dear sister, gave me specific orders to and I quote "find your idiot brother who always skips out on patrols, and make sure that he does his section", so here I am Onii-chan.", I finished with a shrug and a smirk in Zero direction,
Zero simply rolled his eyes and muttered "Baka" as he exited Lily's pen, causing me to make faces childishly at Zero's back, in turn causing White Lily to snort in amusement at our behavior,
"Oh Lily, I forgot all about you. Here finish the sugar cubes." I said as I pet her, "I'm sorry that grumpy old man distracted me from feeding you." I cooed, which resulted in a thump on my head courtesy of said grumpy old man.
"Ow! You jerk! The hell was that for, I thought old men were happier after nap time?" I asked with a teasing smile, which would have resulted me with another thump if not for my lightning fast ninja like reflexes (A.N.: at least in her head),
"Ha-ha! You're slowing as you age Ojī-chan" I teased, which surprisingly enough resulted in another thump, 'note my sarcasm', "ok, ok, I'm sorry, I won't call you Ojī-chan anymore. No your name is Ze-Ze-kun" was all I said to Zero before I ran like the devil was after me, 'maybe he was, but I was more scared of my silver haired brother catching me',
"GRRRR! GET BACK HERE AYAMA!" Zero shouted as he chased after me and in the process scaring away all nearby animals in the area.
My survival instincts kicked in causing my to sprint faster away from my homicidal brother 'ok Ayame, you poked the bear with a stick, now what…? come on brain, a little help.' I thought.
Then like a ray of sunshine I spotted Yuki on a balcony watching the night class through binoculars, unconsciously slowing down, a fatal mistake because seconds later the silver haired devil tackled me to the ground, "Ugh!" I said as I fell,
"How many times have I told you not to call me that?" Zero growled in my ear quietly so as not to alert Yuki of our presence.
Zero had covered my mouth with his hand as he pinned to the ground so I could not speak, only able to shake my head frantically and mumble under his hand unintelligibly,
"What was that Ayame? I can't quite understand you." Zero teased maliciously.
So like any other rational person in this situation, I licked his hand causing Zero to remove his hand immediately, and unconsciously loosening his grip that pinned my to the ground, using his distraction to my advantage I reversed the rolls and pinned him to the ground while smirking victoriously, "how do you like them apples, Ze-Ze-kun?"
Before he could react, I got another stroke of brilliance, causing me to cover his mouth my hand, "SHHH! It have a great idea!" this statement caused my loveable brother to look at me incredulously,
"What's with the look? I'm telling you, my plan is pure genius!" I whispered gleefully, before removing my hand from his mouth,
"The last idea of yours that was 'pure genius' nearly wound us both in prison, so forgive me if I'm slightly skeptical" Zero said dryly, causing me to pout childishly.
"That plan may have been slightly flawed, but in telling you, I've got gold, Zero!" I said excitedly.
"Slightly flawed? The whole thing was flawed. You are flawed, and I was flawed for going along with your stupid idea!" Zero said as he push me off him and stood up.
I stood indignantly with my hand on my hips, "you know what you may be on to something there was one major flaw-"
"ONE?!" Zero interrupted.
"Shut up and let me finish! The major flaw was YOU! You did not believe in the plan, you had no faith in me or the plan! Therefore, my flaw was including you. But I've learned from my mistake, next time I will pick a great wingman, maybe Kaito, and then you'll see!" I said before waking in Yuki's direction, "You'll all see!"
It seemed as if Zero and I had the same idea as we both silently approached Yuki from the back while her attention was on Kaname, we both watch silently as Yuki looked at Kaname for a while before she breathed a dreamy sigh,
"So how is Kaname Kuran, your hero, doing tonight?" Zero asked bluntly, making my poor twin flabbergasted, her cheeks showing the humiliation she felt, still I watch in amusement as she grasped for excuses.
"It-it-it-it's not like I was only looking at Kaname or anything!" She said causing me to sweat-drop and Zero to give her an incredulous look.
Yuki then picked up the binoculars and made a show of looking all around the classroom before she said, "Everyone in the night class is behaving themselves perfectly tonight" to which I had to smirk, looks like I'm rubbing off on my big sister.
Deciding to put Yuki out of her misery I interrupted, "And it doesn't look like anyone from the day class is wondering around either…thank god, I've only been here a couple hours and I'm already sick of them yelling 'kya', 'kya'" I smiled, Yuki let out a cheery laugh while placing her hands on her hips.
"Yup! It looks like we're in for a quiet and peaceful night!" she spoke hopefully. "We probably don't even need to be here!" She finished.
I shot Yuki a look before I spoke, "Now let's not get ahead of ourselves, I have only been here for a few hours but those girls have got to be on something, they're all certifiable. Not to mention that blond idiot 'idol-sempi', he seems reckless" I spoke factually.
"I know that…" Zero said lowly, gaining both my and Yuki's attention.
"The chairman thinks that the members of the night class are pacifists…but I don't believe it-"
"Of course you don't" I interrupted, but Zero shot me a glare that instantly silenced me.
"And there is no way in hell…that I'm going to let my guard down", zero continued
I sighed and looked at the moon, far more interested in observing the beauty of it than listening to Zero's speech, 'come to think of it I've always felt a strange connection with the moon, almost like an old friend that constantly comforted me with its presence alone. I'm so weird but the man I call a father is certifiable so I guess it is to be expected.' I thought to myself.
"…and that's why I just don't understand…how an adult like the chairman could ever co-operate with them". Zero finished.
Yuki let out a small gasp as Zero looked into her eyes, cold lilac clashing with warm brown while I awkwardly shuffled my feet wondering what happened while I was spaced out. Before looking towards the night class to discover that Kaname was already looking at me, when he caught my eyes he smiled and waved slightly, causing me to frown for a second before giving him a small smile and waving back. 'I've always felt that Kaname gave me too much attention, much more than Yuki whom always craved has approval' I thought before turning back to my siblings.
"-is so that they can hunt us down more efficiently." My head snapped back to Zero as the words left his mouth, 'what did I miss?' I wondered
I frowned at the two as they appeared to be going down memory lane, now if I had listened to Zero and not been distracted by the attention of the Night Class President I would've had a flashback too but since I didn't listen, I had no idea what the heck they'd been talking about.
I shrugged before standing on the railing of the balcony that we were on, "I'm going to patrol my section, have fun in lala land!" I said before I launch myself backward away from the balcony and to the ground landing silently on the balls of my feet, and walking toward my section.
'This is going to get old fast, staying up late just to watch for people who may or may not be around, and possibly wandering a deserted school campus, not the most exciting way to spend my nights' I thought ruefully. 'But at least I get to spend time with my family, whether they admit it or not we're better with us all in the same place, and Zero is struggling visibly. I'm scared for you Onii-chan' I thought before I got a bad feeling, causing my to instantly go on full alert.
I completely stopped moving and focused on my hearing, faintly I heard noise coming from Yuki's section so I immediately sprinted in that direction, 'it could just be a day class girl I thought to myself, but better safe than sorry' I thought as I climbed a tree to get a better view.
"Phew!" I sighed in relief that it was just a couple day class girls, but still walking in their direction to help Yuki.
"YOU TWO! I WANT YOUR NAMES AND YOUR CLASSES!" Yuki yelled, startling the girls, "Wandering around after dark is strictly prohibited under school regulations! It's very dangerous, go to your dorms immediately!" she instructed,
"We just came to take photos of the night class students, what the hell is your problem?" one of the girls sneered at Yuki,
"I want your names and dorm rooms, now!" I demanded, quickly tugging my Artemis dagger from my boot.
"W-We were just out here taking pictures of the Night Class, an- ow!" The girl still on the ground yelped, still grasping her knee.
"Are you alright?" I asked, concerned.
The girl removed the tissue that showed blood Yuki and I instantly stiffened, eyes widening as I rushed forward. "You're bleeding!?"
.GRAB.
"I'll let you go this time, just get back to your dorms! NOW!" I ordered frantically, pushing the two annoying fan-girls to the sun dorms.
"Well, what do we have here? I thought something smelled nice!" Aido said, sauntering over carelessly.
"Go back to class, Aido!" Yuki ordered as I took a protective stance in front of the Day Class idiots. The girls began whispering excitedly at Aido and Akatsuki's presence, only to gasp when Yuki swung her Artemis rod at him. He caught it with ease before throwing it to the ground.
"Aido, leave these girls alone and get back to class-!" I yelled at the vampire.
"I'm not here for the girls, what smells nice..." He explained, suddenly appearing in front of me and grabbing my wrist, "is your blood..." He said as he yanked my shirtsleeve up, revealing a small bleeding cut on my palm. My eyes widened as Yuki gasped, 'It must have been when I climbed the tree!' I thought furious with myself.
Aido licked the blood trailing down my palm, making Yuki and I stiffen in disgust. I tried to pull away, but he was too strong for me.
"Delicious..." Aido grinned, revealing his fangs, causing the fan girls to gasp. "Mm mm... May I partake from your neck?" He asked, icy blue eyes setting on my neck.
"H-he's a v-vampire!" One of the girls gasped, and then The Day Class idiots fainted from shock. I shook my head angrily before shouting, "Hell no!" and punching the vampire in the face, I back flipped a few feet away from him, landing in a crouched position in front of Yuki and the girls.
I pushed the release button on my dagger causing it to grow into a 65 cm Kanata, and glow a menacingly, and growled, "This is your last chance-"
"I just can't help it. Your blood is too tempting," he grinned. I glared at him tensing my muscles and preparing to attack as I shoot Akatsuki a glance. He stood back and watched his cousin intently.
"Aya-Chan!" Yuki's voice sounded, before my sister herself jumped from the side and crouched beside me, holding my arm to stop me from attacking Aido.
"Yuki!" I said angrily, glaring at my sister.
"Are you okay, Ayame?" my sister asked, seeing my injury, simply I nodded in response, growling at Aido. "We still can't kill them…," she said sternly.
I sighed sadly, "Then what can we do with them?" I asked disappointedly.
"Leave them to me." My brother said before a gunshot sounded, the bullet barely skimping Aido's arm before hitting the tree behind. We all gasped, staring at their silver-haired hunter. Zero stood beside them, pointing his Bloody Rose at the blonde-haired male.
"Zero!" Yuki and I yelled. We immediately reacted, I moving the Zero's arm, aim away from the vampire while Yuki jumped between us, causing Zero to frown in disapproval.
"Sorry, Zero, but we can't kill him..." I murmured sadly, and Yuki nodded her back to the vampire. Aido's eyes shone blood red, staring intensely at Yuki's neck as her pale skin shone in the moonlight.
"He tried to bite you though!" The Zero argued, while glaring at the blonde boy.
"I know, but-" Before Yuki could finish, the blonde had an arm wrapped around her waist, his free hand moving her hair away from her neck. She froze in shock, feeling Aido's breath on her skin.
"Don't you dare!" Zero growled, as we lunging for the boy.
Aido's fangs sunk lightly into her neck, but he only managed one small gulp before he was dragged back by his hair. He yelped, falling back onto the ground. This however did nothing to stop me from attempting to pummel the blond vampire; I landed near his torso, and proceeded to grab his hair causing him to yelp once again as I readied my other hand in a first preparing to knock some sense into him, literally. After the first punch landed accompanied by a small crack, I prepared to launch another and would have if not for a certain pure blood vampire who grabbed me by the waist and pulled my resisting form of the dazed blonde.
I spun around, my garnet eyes flaming in fury, "what the hell?! I only got one good punch." Kaname mirrored them with his own garnet eyes, glaring intensely at Aido on the ground, before he looked up at me, his eyes softening immensely.
"Are you alright, Ayame?" He asked, still looking incredibly peeved. I glared and crossed my arms over my chest but nodded, "Yuki's the one he took a bite out of" I said hatefully while glaring at Aido
Kaname turned his eye's to Yuki slowly, and cocked his head to the side adorably 'wait Kaname is not adorable, I'm all strung up I can't think straight' is what I tried to convince myself, as Yuki blushed and nodded frantically in response to Kaname's question, "yes, I'm fine just a little blood. No real harm done." She tried to reassure him with a weak smile.
"Yeah no 'real harm done', But that doesn't change the fact that I want to beat the hell out of him then rip his throat out..." I growled, continuing to glare at Aido.
Aware of my fiery temper, He gulped, unable to back away in Zero's direction. Kaname reached his hand out and grasped my shoulder causing me to turn my attention to him.
"I'm sorry for his actions, Ayame. I will take him to be punished immediately." Kaname stated, somewhat hiding most of his anger. I just nodded, turning my face away. Kaname seemed reluctant to release my shoulder, after which I immediately went to my sister and wrapped her in an embrace, to which she returned without hesitation.
"As for you, Akatsuki," Kaname continued, causing Akatsuki to jump and point to himself curiously "As you did not try to stop Hanabusa, you too will be punished." Akatsuki groaned, nodding, while I smirked at him in satisfaction.
Kaname turned to the girls, glaring at a certain silver haired male. "Good night, Ayame, Yuki," he bowed.
The Day Class girls' memories were wiped and they were returned to their dorms.
'And that was a fantastic end to my fantastic first day at Cross Academy. This year is sure to be interesting' I thought before I went to bed.
