by biancaj21

I'm new at this, so please have mercy, and give it a shot. The story of Yuki's twin sister whom has more of a connection to Kaname than anyone realizes. Follow Ayame Cross as she attends Cross academy with her sister, Yuki, and brother Zero, not to mention the stunning Night Class.

7. Chapter 6

I do not own Vampire Knight, or any of its characters, but I do own Ayame Cross/Kuran.

~Ayame's POV~

I groan out loud as Yuki and I approach the Moon Dorms, where a hoard of fan girls are located, "C'mon can 'The Crazies' just pick one day to take their Anti-psychotics!" I complain to Yuki,

"Hang on!" She says and then goes up on to the wall that hides the Moon Dorm and pulls out her annoying whistle. She blows it so hard I have cover my ears. The whistle catches their attention and the beasts look to Yuki,

"Everybody in the Day Class has classes can give chocolates tomorrow! Please go back to your dorms!" She yells at them,

I roll my eyes at my sister weak form of discipline, "Yeah that'll teaching them." I mumble sarcastically making my way to the front of the crowd,

"I'm must offer my chocolate!" Yuki and I both look over at a girl with braided pigtails on top of the shoulders of another girl trying to get her chocolate over the wall. "Don't climb the wall!" Yuki yells at her,

That gets the girl's attention and she starts to topple over. Nearing the front of the crowd, the girls still stand in my way preventing me from helping, "Damn it! Move!" I yell at them all as I shove past them,

I make it out just in time to leap over and catch her rolling to prevent any accidents "Good catch Aya-Chan!" Both Yuki and the girls exclaim.

"Um, thank you, Ayame." The girl mumbles blushing.

"OMG! Aya-Chan! Are you OK? One of the crazies screams/ asks.

I roll my eyes, "I'm fine" I state rolling on my back before I notice a pale hand in my face, I look up to see that the hand belongs to my brother, "thanks, Zero," I mumble

He nods at me turning to face the Crazies, "IF EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU PSYCO'S DO NOT GET BACK IN LINE IN THE NEXT MINUET I WILL HAVE THE ENTIRE EVENT CANCELLED!UNDERSTOOD?!" he growled viciously,

I smile contently as the crazy girls flee the immediate area and assemble themselves in an orderly fashion while leaving a walkway for the Night Class for fear of losing their chance to once again express their already blatantly obvious feelings to the Night Class. And by that, I mean screaming and jumping around like a bunch of escapees from a mental institution,

Yuki nears Zero and whispers to him. "You don't have to say something that makes you the enemy of all the girls before St. Chocolate's Day! You won't even get friendship chocolate!" He frowns at her,

"Then what do you want me to do, huh?" He asks her with visible irritation, "Our role is to make sure the day class doesn't find out the truth about the Night Class." He finishes, "besides I don't like chocolates…"

Yuki and I look at the moon dorms. "Great more work, Oni-chan." I say stretching, "but remember Ze-kun, any chocolates you get, you give to me" I say before heading to my section of the crazies,

Yuki and Zero also manage to get to their sections seconds before the gates to the moon dormitory opens. The girls in my section get restless and begin pushing and shoving to get a better view of the Night Class, the girls in mine and Zero's section know better than to get too wild, Yuki's section is a different story however,

I look over to Yuki's section just in time to catch her fall to the ground once again, causing me to growl in irritation at the beasts, "Quit Pushing!" I growl out, causing them to flinch and take a few steps back,

As I walk over to Yuki, I see Kaname from the corner of my eye and smile, "Good evening Ayame, Yuki," he says as he walks. I smile and wave slightly, while Yuki blushed incredible shades of red and mumbles a greeting,

However, Kaname does not simply continue his journey as usual I see him stop and walk toward Zero and say something, causing me to frown at the pure-blood. There is visible tension between them and nothing else,

Zero's original glare at the pure-blood had intensified incredibly and Kaname begins to walk away causing me to relax, up until Zero hissed, "want to test me? I ready! Anytime, anywhere, Kuran."

All of the level B Vampires hiss and glare hatefully at Zero, while Kaname pauses, a throws a mocking look over his shoulder at Zero, causing me to glare at Kaname for upsetting my brother. Before Kaname walks away, he catches my glare and his face falls, he throws me a hurt look as my glare intensifies, before finally walking away,

I see Yuki with a worried look on her face, so I go and sling my arm around her shoulder, "So tonight want to make some chocolate? Headmaster asked me to make some for the Night Class." I offer,

She beams and hugs me tight "Yay!" she cheers.

I smile at my sister's enthusiasm, "I'll meet you in the Headmaster kitchen after patrols. K?" in response she nods wildly, I laugh and hug her once before heading to Zero,

Zero stops glaring at the door that the Night Class disappeared through, as he hears my approach; we simply stare into each other's eyes for a while, having a silent conversation, finally he nods, his expression softening letting me know that he is ok. I smile slightly, and hug my brother, he hugs me tightly pressing his nose to my hair, "I love you, Oni-chan. I'll always be here for you." I murmur as I run my fingers soothingly through his hair. We simple stay in this position comforting each other, unaware of a pair of angry garnet eyes on us. (A.N.: three guesses who?)

~That Night~

"Yuki watch where you are cutting! You almost took my finger off!" I yell at her, glaring while rubbing my finger soothingly,

"Aya-Chan, I'm sorry! Here I'll make you a chocolate too, it will be the best!" she offers,

I look at her and smile, "All is forgiven," I state before hugging her.

I go back to crushing the special ingredient for the Night Class chocolate, I turn to Yuki to check on her, my eyes widen in panic, "Yuki! Don't- CRASH –touch that…"

I sigh, "My bad" Yuki looks at me guiltily,

I shake my head, "Get. Out."

Yuki opens her mouth to protest, "But-"

I shake my head, "Get. Out!" I raises my voice slightly. Yuki opens her mouth again; I cover her mouth with my hand, "Get out before I hurt you. I mean it Yuki, you're hopeless," I say before adding the secret ingredient to the Night Class chocolates,

~Next Day~

"Please accept my feeling Aya-Chan," another Day Class boy offers me chocolates,

I smile at the chocolates, and take them before looking at the boy, "thank you for the chocolate but my father does not allow me to date." I flash him a charming smile before adding his chocolates to my wheel barrel full of them, and continue walking toward the Moon Dorms,

As I get closer Yuki runs to me, her eyes widen at the sight of my St. Chocolate's Day gifts, she opens her mouth to scold me for being late but changes her mind, "You'll share right?" she asks hopefully,

I smile at my sister, "yup, but you have to help me hide some from the Headmaster. Ok?" she smiles widely and nods eagerly, I put my chocolates near the spot I have deemed mine and grab her hand, "let's go the gates should be opening soon" I say pulling her along with me as she gazes at my mountain of chocolate,

The girls squeal in excitement while waiting for the gates to open and, I stand next to Yuki as she explains the rules to them, once she finishes I add, "One foot out of line and you will pay!" I say in a menacing tone, the girls flinch but nod understandingly,

The gates open and the Night Class is there, looking as beautiful as ever, "Alright guys these ladies mean business, so no funny business. That means you Aido-sempi" I sigh, giving him a disapproving look in advance, "I'm serious, you guys, and you're only here for the chocolates. NOTE," I glare threateningly at Aido, "I said here ONLY for the chocolates. No asking about blood types. Understood, AIDO?" I crossed her arms, aware that Aido was our main problem here,

The blond-haired vampire smirked 'innocently'- a glint of mischief present in his eyes, "Of course, Aya-Chan~!" He grinned,

"It's Cross-san to you, mister," I narrowed my eyes, pointing my finger at him.

I throw Kaname a pleading look to keep his vampires under control, "Not to worry, Ayame, I'll ensure Aido doesn't do anything rash," he vowed placing a hand on my shoulder, smiling at her gently,

I sighed in relief, "Alright, thanks, Kaname-Sama!" I smiled at him politely, while taking a step back causing his hand to fall,

"Not at all." A sad look displayed on his features for a split second, causing me to regret my action, but before I could do anything, the Night Class walked past me as Yuki blew a whistle. Kaname lightly brushed my hand he walked by me, causing me to blush slightly,

I turn to see a group of Day Class boys behind me with chocolates in their hands, causing me to smirk, "Please accept my feeling Aya-Chan~" say the first on as he hands me the chocolates. I put on a shy smile as I face the boys, "thank you all for your chocolates, however I cannot accept your feeling as my father does not allow me to date." All the boys sigh sadly and their shoulder drop in defeat, "I would like it if we could all be very good friends though" I smile charmingly. The boys sigh dreamily and hand me chocolates, while giving me complements before walking off,

After adding the chocolates to my already large collection, I look around and see the girls with happy smiles on their face, handing chocolates to their favorites. And frown sadly, as the only boys whose feeling I would accept has not bothered to offer,

I am pulled from my depressing thoughts, "Say what's your blood type" I hear Aido ask. I face palm and walk over, I grab him by his collar and drag him off while shaking my head,

I turn to the girls who have begun to complain at the loss of their 'idol' "Aido-sempai accepts your chocolates and feelings" I say smiling at the girls. They cheer and giggle to each other in response,

"Oi Aya-chan. This is embarrassing" Aido whines as I continue to drag him. I sigh letting him go and pat his head,

I smirk mischievously, "Deal with it" I state. As I approach Yuki I see her clutching her candy, watch as Kaname back as he walks off. I shake my head and sigh. I grab the candy and run to Kaname,

"Ayame-Chan?" he asks confused,

"Yuki wanted to give this to you," I say dropping the candy in his hand,

He smiles at her. "Thank you Yuki. I accept it," he says. Yuki blushes and turns away to smile at her feet, causing me to roll my eyes

Kaname smiles at me sadly, "Bye Ayame-Chan" he says. I smile back and wave before walking back to Yuki. She punches me in the arm lightly, trying and failing to keep a frown on her face,

I look at her incredulously, "Ow! My arm!" I yell at her,

She pouts at me her face still red, "Why did you do that?" she whines,

I roll my eye "Because you were being a chicken" I cross my arms and wait for her to prove me wrong,

She frowns childishly looking at the ground, before she looks at me, "Hmph, fine. Thanks..."

I smile at my achievement, "You're welcome. Here~" I say dropping a small box in her hand.

She looks at me hopefully, "Is it…?"

"Yup it's 'Ayame's Special Chocolate'!" I answer. She squeals and gives me a big hug, rocking us back and forth,

~Night Class~

I sigh once again as I stand outside of the classroom that the Night Class is in, mentally preparing myself for the embarrassment I will face all because of my stupid father. I swear I'm going to ring his neck and hide all of his stupid soap operas, that'll teach him to mess with me,

With those, comforting thought in mind I knock on the door and enter, not waiting for permission. I stare at the tile as I feel my face redden as the dozen of vampire that I have come to respect seeing me in this most ridiculous outfit. I take a deep breath, and pull out the card with my lines on; just as I open my mouth to begin, I am interrupted,

"Such a cute outfit, Ay-Chan," Aido coos, "did you get all dress up to seduce me on St. Chocolate's Day" he finishes making kissy faces,

I growl in irritation, once again swearing to myself to murder my father, "sit down and shut up ice-brain. The sooner I start the sooner I'm done, and the sooner I never have to see you ugly face again," I hiss at him,

Just as the idiot is about to respond, I am saved, "stop bother the prefect Aido." Kaname says with his usual emotionless mask, but for someone who has known him as well as me can catch the small flecks of amusement hidden with him his façade,

I roll my eye and nod in appreciation at Kaname, before I begin to read, "Hear ye! Hear ye! Orders from the St. Chocolates Day King. On this very special St. Chocolate's Day, the King wishes to remind you that St. Chocolates day is not a holiday only to express romantic feeling, but to express friendship too. On this day the St. Chocolates Day King, also known as Kaien Cross asks that you all except these handmade friendship chocolate delivered by my St. Chocolate's Day Fairy, created especially for the Night Class in hopes that you continue you honorable pursuit in furthering the our interspecies relationship. Thank you and enjoy, say the St. Chocolates Day King" I finish with a huff and a courtesy,

As no one utters a word I begin to disperse the chocolate to the students, all of the students have a specific box, with their name on it and box colored to match their hair or eye color. I finish the first two rows without incident and finally something in this day has gone right, "Senri…Rima…Akatsuki…Aido…", as I'm about to give Tamika his chocolate's the idiot 'idol' begins to speak from behind the mountain of chocolate covering his desk,

He tilts his head 'innocently', "so is this your sneaky way of confessing your obvious feelings for me? I knew it was only a matter of time until you came to admit it to yourself and to me," he asks with a slight smirk, I turn around ready to tear him in a new one as I'm interrupted,

"Hanabusa, please do not cause Ayame anymore trouble for the day, alright?" though Kaname phrases it as a question, we all know it is an order. His mouth turns up slightly as he turns to me, "the St. Chocolate's Day Fairy has it hard enough," he says amusement shining wildly in his wine colored eyes,

Any feelings of appreciation toward the pure-blood evaporate as he finished his statement; I huff but ignore the vampires otherwise. I mentally roll my eyes, and continue giving out the chocolate with evident irritation, all other vampires accept the chocolate and some wish me a happy St. Chocolates Day as well, that was until I got to the vampire that loved me the most, Ruka.(A.N.: note the sarcasm) When I place the chocolate on her desk she looks as if I put a rabid squirrel on her desk, glaring at me angrily, and opens her mouth most likely to insult me and/or the chocolate, but a stern look from Kaname keeps her quiet, thankfully,

I disperse almost all of the chocolates except one because a certain pure-blood has his desk on the furthest corner of the room meaning I did not pass his chair, more like throne, as I gave out the chocolates. And for some reason all of the vampires notice this and are curious enough about this to watch me as a walk to his desk, weirdo's. I reach his desk and he looks up from his book that he was pretending to read, "Is it finally my turn?" he asks almost sarcastically, raising an eyebrow,

I shoot him a dull look, but decide to play along, "but of course you majesty, I saved the best for last",

Kaname looks both shock and amused by response, he raises a hand to caress the feathers on my wings, before he begins to play with a lock of my snow-white hair, "well then I thank you in advance and look forward to enjoying your chocolate" he says staring into my eyes,

For reasons completely unknown to me, I blush, and then clear my throat awkwardly, taking the box of chocolates in a garnet colored box made to match Kaname's eyes and place it on his desk before I attempt to step away. I said attempt because a certain pure-bloods gentle but firm grip on my arm prevents me from taking more than one-step, he looks deeply into my similar colored eyes as if searching for something as my heart flutters for unknown reasons. I guess he finds it because, he finally lets my arm go and whispers, "thank you," so that only I can hear him,

I nod at him in response and speed walk out of the classroom as I feel several eyes burning wholes into my back. I am too lazy to walk all the way back to the Sun Dorms and not in the mood for patrols so I walk back to the Headmaster's house to take a shower and sleep. I enter silently just in case the Headmaster is already asleep; as I am heading to my room, I hear someone coughing and moaning in pain and silently walk toward the kitchen where the noise is coming from. Crouched in the corner is my silver-haired brother, suffering another attach with a box of blood tablets in his hand. I sigh and walk toward him not bothering to hide my presence; he looks up as I approach his eyes flashing violently between red and violet.

I crouch down in front of him tears pooling in my eyes, and pet his hair softly as I used to when he was having trouble sleeping after he first joined our family, "please let me help you Oniii-chan. It's painful to watch you suffer silently every time you push me away." I say laying his head on my chest hugging and petting him.

Zero says nothing but coughs, as I pet him until the attack passes, leaving him sweating and panting as if he just finished a rigorous work out. He slowly lifts his head from my chest to look me in the eyes and for the first time in a long time I see the scared child that the Headmaster brought back from the precinct, I see the Zero I first met, and it scares me. I reach up and caress his cheek; he leans into my hand and closes his eyes, "Zero I have something for you," I say causing him to open his eyes and look at me curiously,

He says nothing and continues to stare at me; I reach into the basket and pull out the last box of chocolate in a purple box with a silver ribbon slightly larger than all the other boxes made for the Night Class. I smile gently at him as I did all those years ago, slowly I open the boy and pull out one of the round chocolates and feed it to him gently. He chews and swallows slowly, a curious look on his face because of the flavoring,

I giggle, "I crushed up some blood tablets and added it to the mix. I thought that is you can't take the pills alone then maybe mixing or adding it to something may help,", Zero continues to stare at me making no effort to respond to me,

I look at the ground sadly, I did not expect much, but maybe a little gratitude, I sigh and prepare to get up, but Zero surprises me with a hug, he holds me tightly burying his nose in my hair. I smile and rub his back soothingly nuzzling his neck, Zero pulls away and I kiss him on the cheek, "I love you, Onii-chan," I say caressing his cheek and handing him the box. "I'm going to bed now, let me know it the mixing thing works, if it does we can try it again. Ok?"

He looks at me and nods, I smile and finally head back to my room exhausted from the day, and flop on my bed, landing on a small box. I look at the box curiously, no students are allowed in the Headmaster's quarters, and the door is always locked, confused but curious I open the box. Inside is nothing but a single card that says, 'look in the closet'. Now I'm on alert, this is creepy on so many levels; cautiously I approach the closet and rip the doors open violently.

Inside my closet is the largest teddy bear I have ever seen, holding a box of chocolates larger than my head and a ribbon around its neck with a card attached. I smile at the gift, and take the card in my hand reading and causing me to smile so big my cheeks hurt. The card reads 'Kisses

Kisses, Kisses, Kisses,

Oh, what should I do?

All I want is just one Kiss,

From a special person like you.

- Kaito'

I want to scream and dance and laugh all at the same time but all I can do I stand in that spot grinning like an idiot as tears of joy fell from my eyes. I guess he didn't forget, but thank god, he is a hunter and not a poet, because this poem is corny as hell. Still it means a lot I think to myself as the tears finally stop,

I turn to look at the moon stupid grin still on my face, "Happy St. Chocolate's Day, Kaito" I whisper before closing my eyes and falling asleep with a soft smile on my face.

A.N.: sorry it took so long, I've been busy at work, but I made it extra-long, so forgive me. In addition, for those of you that have not got it yet Kaito is Ayame's crush, pictures of him on my profile as well as the St. Chocolates Day Fairy outfit.
