I do not own Vampire Knight, or any of its characters, but I do own Ayame Cross/Kuran.
~Third Person POV~
The next day the three guardians were called to the headmaster's office, following the switch form the Day Class to the Night Class,
Once the guardians enter, the headmaster sighs and smiles excitedly, "what an unexpected surprise! My three wonderful children have taken time from their busy schedules to visit me! What a lucky father I am…" headmaster Cross rambles, causing his two adopted daughters to sweat-drop at his dramatics,
Ayame notices that Zero is already beginning to lose his incredibly short amount of patients for the headmaster's antics, and elbows Yuki to prevent the oncoming collision,
Yuki awkwardly scratches the back of her neck with a nervous laugh, and says, "you called us here for a mandatory prefect meeting headmaster, so if you would please begin the meeting so that we may-"
"This is ridiculous," Zero growls lowly, as he stalked up to the headmaster's desk and-
.SLAM.
The headmaster jumped back in fright as Zero's fists collided with the oak desk causing the desk to splinter slightly, causing Yuki to sigh, as if this was a normal occurrence and Ayame step back nervously and watch the interaction curiously.
"Not this again..." Yuki mumbled as a sweat-drop appeared on the back of her head.
"HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY EXPECT JUST THE THREE OF US TO GUARD THE WHOLE BUNCH OF THOSE BLOOD SUCKERS AND DEAL WITH ALL THOSE SCREAMING IDIOTS?! HUH, HEADMASTER!?"
Yuki leans over to Ayame's ear and whispers, "why is he so angry all the time?" Ayame simply shrugs in response, before she smirks and whispers, "I don't know. Puberty? Or maybe it his time of the month?" both girls struggle not to giggle as Zero attempts to glare a whole through their heads.
The headmaster did not seem to shrink under Zero's intimidating glare as anyone else would; he just sipped his tea calmly and looked up at him with a blank look, causing Ayame to sweat-drop at the headmaster calmness despite the violent and fuming silver-headed boy.
"I'll admit that it is job difficult to do every night, and I thank you for the hard work" the headmaster smiled politely, Zero growled, threw his thumb over his shoulder, and pointed to Yuki.
"At least find someone else to help me before this whole thing implodes! She's worse than useless!" Zero shouted causing Yuki to blush from embarrassment,
"HEY! IM NOT TAKING THAT FROM SOMEONE WHO'S LATE HALF THE TIME AND ABSENT THE REST!" Yuki yelled in her own defense,
"You have my precious Ayame" the headmaster smiled, gesturing to Ayame who blinked as Zero gritted his teeth.
"FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO REPLACE HER TOO! SHE'S BEEN HEAR OVER A WEEK AND HAS ONLY WORKED TWO DAYS, AND SHE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO ATTRACT THE WHOLE NIGHT CLASS PLUS KURAN!"
Ayame frowned and rubbed her ear, she knew she would be deaf by the end of the school year, thanks to Zero's angry yelling, and then she growled and stalked up to silver haired boy.
.BAM.
Ayame slammed her hands on the headmaster's desk further splintering the poor defenseless desk it in half,
"STOP YOUR DAMN YELLING! OR I SWEAR I'LL STICK MY FOOT SO FAR UP YOUR-"
"Impossible" came the calm reply of the headmaster, catching the attention of his angry adopted children, he took another sip of his tea while the three of you quieted down, "The role of the guardians is extremely important, if the day class and the night class are to successfully co-exist."
The headmaster paused dramatically before he continued on, "You three are the only ones I can trust…besides it's a thankless job, with long hours, sleepless nights, and no respect-no one else would take it and…" the headmaster trailed off, his eyes suddenly becoming sparkly as he glomped Yuki and Ayame.
Ayame's eye twitched and she tried to shove her over emotional dad off –since she could remember he always did this to them, Zero always said he was only doing this because he was a pervert or something, maybe he was onto something. Yuki did nothing to help and instead froze, as she knew what headmaster would say next, and the reaction it would cause.
"I know that my two adorable daughters and loving son WON'T LET ME DOWN!"
.SLAM-CRACK.
The solid wood desk broke completely in half; Zero's fist still guiltily sat on the now broken desk.
"YOU MIGHT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF ME, BUT I DON'T REMEMBER EVER BECOMING YOUR SON!" Zero shouted, so angry that his face redden the vein in his neck stood out causing Ayame to wonder if steam was going to pour out of his ears,
Yuki sweat-dropped again as her mouth fell open at the broken desk, that poor innocent desk.
"You always obsess over the small details, it's such a pain..." the headmaster mumbled and scolded as he nuzzled his adopted daughters, his grip on them tightening as Yuki's sweat-drop became bigger and Ayame went back to struggling to get out of her adopted father's grip.
"Hey headmaster… let go…cant…breath," Ayame wheezed, her face slowly becoming blue from lack of oxygen,
"Ayame! CALL ME FATHER!" Kaien cried dramatically,
.BAM.
"Just leave her alone, idiot," Zero mumbled, lowering his fists as the headmaster twitched on the floor violently from the force of the blow,
"OW! Zero that hurt!" the headmaster exclaimed after recovering from his previous crumpled form, he pouted and went back to sitting behind the desk and drinking his tea,
"Hey Ayame, Yuki, you two are more his kids then I am. Don't you have anything to say?" Zero asked quietly, the headmaster kept pouting; Ayame shrugged and watched Yuki scratch her head in a thinking gesture,
"Hmmm…well the night class seems to be getting on really well with others…I'm just happy to help! Ehehe!" Yuki laughed nervously while Zero's face darkened,
Ayame rolled her eyes and muttered, "Kiss up," loud enough for Zero to hear and causing him to smirk at her comment,
"You're such a good girl Yuki! I'm so proud of you!" the headmaster praised, his voice trembling with happiness as he clutched a hand to his heart,
"Oh no, not again..."Ayame muttered under her breath as she tensed and prepared to escape before her father could successfully hug her to death,
"Yuki is the only one who understands my pacifist idealism!" the headmaster stood up proudly, Ayame sighed and crossed your arms over your chest-leaning against the wall, in anticipation for some kind of speech from-
"AND ME?! I DREAM THAT ONE DAY WE WILL BREAK OUT OF THE DARK CYCLE OF HATRED THAT HAUNTS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMANS AND VAMPIRES!" by this point of the speech the headmaster had crocodile tears rolling down his cheeks "I BELIEVE THAT IF THE YOUTH OF TODAY CAN GROW TOGETHER WITH OPEN HEARTS AND INQUIRING MINDS! WE CAN FINALLY BUILD A BRIDGE WHEREBY OUR TWO RACES WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY!" the headmaster looked around the room at an imaginary audience,
Ayame sweat-dropped again and rubbed her ringing ear in pain, 'I wonder if we finally commit this idiot, will I have to go to an orphanage? I'll have to look into that' Ayame thought,
"THAT IS THE GLORY OF EDUCATION! THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE NIGHT CLASS!" the headmaster bellowed happily, prancing around his desk while Zero struggled to reign in his temper as his left eye twitched violently,
"I'm going on patrol; this nut is all yours Ayame, Yuki" Zero growled, walking towards the door and slamming it so hard the frame shock,
"HEY! Don leave me with these people!" Ayame cried out frantically,
.SLAM.
Ayame frowned sadly then blinked and stood in front of the frozen headmaster's form, raised her hand and snapped fingers in front of his face, instantly he sat back in his chair and sipped his tea, as if nothing ever happened,
"It's a shame..." the headmaster started sadly, catching both pf his daughter attention,
Kaien sighed softly before he continued, "But I do understand why Kiryu feels the way he does. Even within the vampire community, there are evil creatures that still prey upon humans. That's why it would be a disaster if the truth about the night class ever got out…" the headmaster trailed off, rubbing his hands nervously as he felt the piercing glare of Yuki,
.BAM.
Yuki's delicate hand slammed on the desk so hard that it returned to its original position, "KANAME WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT!" the small brunette yelled angrily, her usually warm brown eyes becoming cold and hard,
"Yuki..." Ayame whispered warily, placing a hand on her shoulder a Yuki continued to shout, Ayame had never seen her sister speak so passionately,
"AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER HONEST VAMPIRES JUST LIKE HIM TOO!" Yuki barked, referring to the night class, "THEY'RE PACIFISTS!"
"Yuki…" the headmaster mumbled in awe of his adopted daughter,
Ayame, assuming the incredibly long and incredibly pointless meeting had finally come to an end walked around the headmaster's desk and toward the window that she planned to exit from,
"And that's why it's going to be okay headmaster!" Yuki smiled, all sense of hostility disappeared as Ayame turned around and matched her smile, half of her body already out the window.
Ayame beamed her award-winning smile at her father, "Yeah, Otou-san! You just leave it to us guardians! We'll handle the rest!" She laughed happily, winking at her father before she jumped out the window and landed gracefully on the stone pavement.
"I'm going too!" Yuki shouted, before she too jumped from the window and easily fell into step with her sister with a big grin plastered on her face.
Yuki grabbed Ayame's hand and ran down the schools pathway, Ayame's pure white hair floating behind her like a cape as her it shone in the moonlight.
'On that snowy night after Kaname save us, he took us to the headmaster of cross academy' Ayame remembered to herself. A memory of a five year old Ayame holding the young Kaname's hand while Yuki gripped Ayame's hand flashed through her head, as she remembered that first meeting where the headmaster who looked at her and her sister with kind eyes.
Ayame smiled at the moon wistfully, 'And even though we had nothing…the kind headmaster took care of my sister and me, and raised us as his own daughters'
Ayame remembered when Kaname bent down in front of the two of them, a kind smile on his face as he ran his fingers through her long white locks. 'I don't…have any memories from before I was five, Yuki doesn't have her memories either, but anyway…that's why we've always thought of that night ten years ago…as the night my sister and I were 'born' Ayame thought to herself.
'I guess that's why my sister and I always believed…that vampires and humans can live together as one…well Yuki more than me'.
~Later that Night in the Moon Dorms~
Hanabusa and Akatsuki sat in the main lodge of the Night Dorm. Dropping a blood tablet into his water, Hanabusa sighed happily.
"I just can't get the taste of her blood out of my mind..." He grinned dreamily,
"Really? We've already been suspended and you're saying that, now? What will you do if Kaname hears you?" His cousin asked incredulously, while shaking his head,
Hanabusa so enraptured by the memory alone of Ayame's blood spoke, and failed to notice another presence entering the room, "For a taste of Natalie's blood? It was worth it. It was so sweet and-"
"Would you like to continue?" An angered voice spat behind him. Hanabusa jumped and turned in surprise, faced with an enraged pure blood.
"N-No, K-Kaname-Sama I-" A loud slap echoed through the room. Aido lifted a hand up to his reddening cheek and looked at his feet, unable to meet eyes with the fuming brunette.
"Never let me catch you speaking like that again, Hanabusa" angry footsteps lead out of the room. Akatsuki stared after him before looking at his cousin.
"You had that one coming, Hanabusa." Akatsuki spoke unsympathetically.
~Next morning Day Classes~
Ayame played fast asleep at her desk with her head rested atop Zero's sleeping form. Yuki and Yori watched as each of the day class student's swoon over which night class student they would hand chocolates out to. You guessed it right folks tomorrow is St. Xocolatl's Day/Valentine's Day, and maybe you are wondering why they are worried about chocolates, well it was the best time the girls could confess their feelings personally. "All the girls go around giving chocolates to the boys they have crushes on…I don't get it! It is completely absurd! Has everyone forgotten that this is a school of higher learning?!" Kasumi, the Class President, exclaimed,
"I am against it in any way, shape or form!" Kasumi began walking away in a huff until Sayori spoke, "You know Class Rep., and you might get chocolates too." Kasumi stopped for a moment before sighing blissfully, "Ruka~!"
However Kasumi was brought from his blissful dream by a growl courtesy of Ayame Cross, "what in the hell could you be screaming like that for? I was trying to sleep!" Ayame exclaimed angrily,
All of the day class students flinched all too aware of consequences of waking Ayame from a nap, "w-w-well you s-see Ayame-Chan, St. Xocolatl's Day is in two days and-" luckily for the Day Class Ayame halted her plans to cause serious damage to those that had interrupted her nap,
"Wait! St. Xocolatl's Day is in two days?! Oh my gosh! I completely forgot, now I'm not going to get any chocolate," Ayame cried sadly,
This caused an uproar in the Day Class, specifically in the boys, "don't worry Ayame-Chan, I'll get you chocolates" one Day Class boy offered
"Me too, I'll get you white chocolates," another said
"I'll get you the most chocolates Ayame-Chan" said another causing all the Day Class boys to argue over who would get her the most/ best chocolates, unaware that the white haired beauty had stopped crying and leaned back comfortably in her seat smirking sinfully as she watch her plan in motion. Seeing her sleeping brother begin to stir caused Ayame to intervene before the boys got any louder, "its ok boys let's not fight over this because as much as quantity counts for, quality is just as important…I want you to think about this as you buy my chocolates. Ok? Thank you; now please return to your seats before you wake Mr. Grumpy" she finished with a kind smile,
Yuki waited until all of the Day Class boys were a safe distance away to ask, "So Ayame, who are you giving chocolates to?" Yuki asked, facing toward the girl. "Huh?" Ayame asked confused. "I know you must have someone in mind." Sayori joined in, interested. "Hmmm… I've never giving it much thought I always get chocolates, but never give any" Ayame trailed off as a blush adorned her cheeks, as she thought of her crush with his ash brown hair and hazel eyes*. She would not mind telling them…if her adopted brother did not know this person and would not pummel him if/when he found out. Yuki, unaware that her sister had a crush froze, before she smiled mischievously read to squeeze the name from Ayame,
Ayame recognized the look on her sisters face and panicked, before the smirked devilishly while twirling a lock of hair around her finger, "So, who are you giving chocolates to, Yuki?", Ayame asked in her most innocent tone of voice,
Yuki blushed a vibrant shade of red saying, "I'm not giving any this year."
"You're lying! I saw you with your cook book the other day!" Ayame exclaimed, as Sayori said, "Speaking of cookbooks, isn't that one on your lap?" Sayori pointed to the book Yuki had in front of her. "No!" Yuki denied, quickly hiding the book,
Zero sighed as he said, "I don't see why you'd want to give it to him."
Yuki once again blushed furiously, "N-no! It would simply be a token of my appreciation! I haven't even really decided I would give it to him yet…"
"What? Zero?!" a girl shouted/whispered. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot…we have Zero!" a boy exclaimed. "On top of the grade curve and a jock! You are our only hope! Get some for us too will you!" Zero turned to them with a look that could kill instantly and they all backed down.
"It's probably the best that you don't…" one of the boys backpedaled,
"Yeah, never mind…" another said,
"So Zero, do you have anything planned for Xocolatl's Day?" Yuki asked. "Why would I? There's no point in it…" he trailed off as Sayori asked curiously, "So you have no one you want to confess to?"
"…no." he stated as Yuki said, "You didn't sound too sure just now." Zero glanced to Ayame for a moment as a faint blush adorned his face. He quickly turned his head away as Yuki sighed. 'When will he just tell her how he feels? And who is my little sister crushing on?' she thought, glancing toward the two.
*that's right Ayame has crush, it will not affect the Kaname/Ayame end game but it will impact the story line, I will not tell you who it is, but I will give you ONE hint, if you message me you guess I will tell you if your are right
Hint: this is not an original character.
A.N.: i posted picture of Ayame's Dagger from the last Chapter on my page if you want to see what i had in mind.
