A/N: I know I said that I wouldn't be updating this soon, but I just had two weeks off and my head has been filling it's self with things to write in this story, and since it was my last day off I decided to get my head down and start working on this thing.

I really need to thank DoujinGirl Who is probably the most useful and best information giving Beta that I could ever get for a Vampire Knight story :D (I say this, because I love all my other Beta's on my other stories as well, but DoujinGirl truly helped this story to the next level :D)

Thank for anyone who; Read, Alerted, Favourited or Reviewed this story, you sure do know how to make someone happy :D

I have decided that since I put the warnings and the disclaimer on the first chapter, there is no need to carry it on to the next chapters, so all the disclaimers and warnings are there, I'm not warning you again.

I hope you enjoy reading :)

A cold air hung over Cross Academy, that was the only way to explain the feeling of impending dread falling on all of the students, humans and vampires alike. Just like the air, a thick storm cloud had gathered above the school, glaring down angrily at the fine workmanship that the builders had made of it.

Constantly the cloud had let off thunder claps making most of the students flinch away at the sound. It was now on the brink of rain, but was still holding the droplets up in the grey forms.

Kaname stared out of his window in the Moon dorms, looking down upon the day class students, trying to frantically to enter and surround the gate blocking them from the vampires.

A shudder ran down his spine as a thunder clap sounded again, he still watched the students as they seemed to pause their useless antics and flinch at the sound, before resuming what they were doing.

He knew could just sense that something was approaching and he knew exactly what that thing was, but never dared to say aloud, the people around him, they didn't need to know just yet. Although they would know soon enough, after all that thing was approaching quickly, by sun set he guessed that it would start then.

Turning he had to practically rip his eyes from the window, as he fiddled with a few pieces on the chess board beside him, it laid there innocently on the desk.

He picked up the Queen and twirled it within his fingers looking at it carefully then looking back down at the board, before moving some of the pieces back a few stages, but some others forwards.

Placing the Queen between his index and middle finger he moved it around the board slowly, as if with random movements before placing it three squares forwards from his King.

A frown appeared on his lips, as if it wasn't where it was meant to be, then his eyes darted to the window again the clouds still hanging over the Academy.

Picking up his King he slowly moved it a few places before hovering it over the place next to the Queen, then moving it back to it's original place.

Leaving the board alone he turned and looked at the door, running a hand down his glistening white jacket, before walking towards the door and pulling it open with grace only he could produce.

He didn't dare look back, knowing full well that he would not leave if he did so.

The door shut quietly behind him, leaving the office like room looking untouched, all apart from a half played chess game, with out of place moves.

Zero pressed his head against the window of his room, staring out at the people under him, walking slowly from class to their dorms or as the majority were doing, to the moon dorms.

His breath slowly steamed up the glass as he continued to stare out, at seemingly nothing now. He knew that he should of been where they were heading already, helping Yuuki stop the students from getting to the night class. But he just couldn't... Not today.

The feeling in the air, it was that, that and what had happened at the stables only two days previous to this one. He couldn't stand to face everyone today, all he wanted to do was curl up and disappear.

But that feeling, he knew exactly what it was, and he would stop it and protect Yuuki.

Hands clenched at his sides, and a burning feeling ripped through his throat at the very thought of her name, look at him now, a horrid monster degrading quickly, even at the very thought of her name he couldn't hold himself back.

In these two days, so much had happened, he had thought that he was alright and had cleared his system as he left the stables. He couldn't of been more wrong. By fooling himself in to thinking that, he dropped down his guards and blood lust had grabbed hold of him, driving him to a point that he never wanted to reach.

He was lucky to even return from that point.

After he had returned from the stables, he had taken a small stroll through the halls and like an idiot, he hadn't even noticed his eyes glowing red with blood lust till he bumped in to Yuuki, the girl he was meant to protect, and he did just the opposite.

The feeling of his fangs sinking in to her neck, and gulping down her blood like water, it was so wonderful, it had sent a tingerling feeling down his very back, and had made him push for more.

He remembered her pushing against him weakly, with the strength of a human, compared to her normal pureblood strength that he was draining from her very being. The small voice in the back of his head telling him that he was taking too much, the small voice that he had ignored.

Her laying unconscious in his arms didn't even occur to him at the time, he could only thank the heavens above when Kaname had come. Throwing him against a wall - Yes - But stopping him from drinking Yuuki dry.

He had watched as Kaname had taken Yuuki away in his arms, not even throwing a glance to him, a frown carved in to his face.

That was what had hurt the most, he had almost ruined everything, if it wasn't for Kaname he may of very well ruined the whole plan. He couldn't face him, after that, he couldn't look at him and have him look down on him, disappointment practically leaking from his body.

The scent of blood leaked in to the air, and pushed him out of his remembering, as his eyes glanced down at his hand, his nails had ripped through the surface skin and were leaving a trail of blood dancing from the crescent moon shaped wounds.

His eyes flickered red, as he raised his hand to his mouth, his tongue darting out and licking across the wounds try to do little for healing it. Blood red flickered over to a green first aid kit, sitting innocently on his dresser.

He really couldn't be bothered to go and get it, and just simply sat there staring at it, every now and then licking his hand in an attempt to stop the blood from leaking out anymore than it already had.

After a while, the bleeding had died down to a slow halt. Slowly fading red eyes flickered over to the window as he noticed it had gotten quite darker and the feeling in the air had gotten stronger.

It was only then that he moved from his position and sluggishly over to the first aid kit, that lead there on his chest of draws just beside the unmade bed, picking it up with the uninjured hand and opening it, before pulling out a clean bandage.

He didn't really concentrate as he wrapped the bandage around his healed hand, pulling it tightly before sloppily placing a safety clip to keep it in place.

The air around him suddenly felt stiller.

He waited, and waited and waited.

It was only then that the air was broken by an explosion that sounded from the other side of the academy, followed by female scream, several other.

It was time.

Feeling his pulse quicken, he pulled open the top draw from the dresser, before swiftly picking up the silver gun that laid inside.

Pushing himself together, and shufferling quickly over to the door, as he threw it open, glancing back at the blank like room that he had called his home for the past few years and with that, he slammed the door shut with his foot, running off down the hall, his hair sticking to his face and covering his eyes.

He had a plan to follow, and heavens help whoever got in his way.

Yuuki stepped backwards clumsily, before her stood a women like figure. A women that was infact a level E, one dressed in a black over coat, covering a body jolting in many odd directions, a green hat just hiding her eyes from view, but the red glowing was more than clear from where she stood.

She had been frozen in terror when this... this creature, had appeared out of no where.

Her hand reached for the weapon attached just under her skirt, but every time she tried to move close enough to grabbing it, she froze up and pulled her hand away as the women took another step forward.

Right now, the women was merely three metes away from her, and was moving in to a pre-pounce like state, her hands gathering at her sides, slightly bending at the elbows, her head leaning forward giving her more view of the madness swirling in her eyes and making her appear with a hutch back, knees's slightly bent as bare feet appeared to curl.

The young pure-blood's state was one of panic, with the rocks around her flying outwards as she was not in full control of her birth powers, as of yet.

The E sprang forwards going straight for her throat, where most of her blood would be easier to reach, she was hopeless to do anything but let out a high pitch scream.

It was only then, that blood had splattered across her face and the once level E had fallen to the ground in an unrecognizable heap, before turning to dust before her wide eyes.

She stood there still for a few moments trying to process what just happened, before looking up to see Aido and Kain standing before her, their powers in full working order.

A sigh of relief passed through her lips as she ran over to them, carefully going around what used to be the level E.

"Princess, we'll take you to Kaname-sama." Was the simple 'hello' she got, before the two started to walk off in the direction of the moon dorms.

She felt uneasy about going there, the feeling of dread seemed to have increased ten folds in the time between hundreds of level E's attacking the academy, even forcing the chairmen out of retirement to defend the students. But nevertheless she still followed, but not before looking back at the countless heaps of dust that she barely even noticed there.

Even though all this madness was going on, she gotten help but feel the gripping need to see Zero, to see if he was alright, after all she hadn't seen him since that incident. Deep down inside she was afraid of him, but she loved him like a little sister, no matter how scary he was, she still always wanted to help him and make sure he was OK.

For the rest of the trip it was silent and simply involved her running towards the moon dorm with Kain and Aido vaporizing anything that got close enough to see them, she didn't even have a chance to even try fighting - Not that she was all that good at it.

It wasn't long before they reached the daunting doors of the Moon dorm's, raising her hands to push the door open, she froze as the feeling that dived deep in to her system, it was madness, she couldn't tell left from right, she just stood there staring wide eyed at the door.

"-am"

"-Sama!"

"Yuki-sama!"

She quickly snapped out of it, feeling a pair of hands on her shoulders, she looked up to see Aido standing there with a look of confusion on his face.

"Ah... Sorry, let's go in now..." The brunette let out a small laugh, before pushing her palms back to the door and taking a deep breath before pushing the doors open and staring at the empty room that waited in front of them.

Their shoes made loud echoes around the room as she carefully walked on in, letting the doors shut behind Aido and Kain.

Something was off, she could just feel it, it was like the air was wrong, like something was wrong.

Her eyes suddenly went up and stared up at the ceiling.

"The roof..." She whispered, before suddenly running off full pelt, up the stairs and around the dorms, before she made it to the old set of stairs leading to the roof, the door was open a small crack letting a small amount of night like light in to the stairway.

Behind her, Aido and Kain were struggerling to keep up.

She didn't wait for them, before she pushed open the door to see a figure standing alone on the roof, a pile of dust at his feet.

Her eyes widened as she carefully stepped on to the concert surface of the roof. She gulped down some saliva forming at the back of her throat, as she stared ahead at the figure.

Even though the back was to her, she could tell that he was probably rather handsome, she could also tell that he was a male just by looking at his body structure. His longish hair stuck out in quite a few different angles and he seemed to be rather steady on his feet, but would shift every now and then.

She took another step closer and saw him twitch, before he slowly turned around looking at her head on.

Now that she could see his face, she was right, he was quite a handsome man and he looked surprisingly familiar, dark brown locks falling in to but around his face, high lighting two mismatched glowing eyes, one bright blue, the other blood red.

Just by looking at them, she could feel her breath being sucked out of her lungs and let out a small involuntary whimper as the feeling from earlier feel upon her again.

She sunk down to her knees staring up at him wide eyed in fear.

He slowly took steps towards her, before kneeling down to her eye level.

Tilting his head slightly to seemingly get a better look at her, he let out a chuckle, "You look a lot like Juri did..." The cold voice rang through the air as pale fingers gripped her chin forcing her to look directly at him.

A smirk fell on to his thin lips as he saw not only fear but confusion fall in to her eyes.

"D-d-did?" She whispered out in a voice like a broken puppy.

"Yes. Did." He pulled her to her feet by her chin, "It's a real shame, afterall she was a very beautiful women... But she's gone now." He growled out, as he tilted her head in different angles, while she was still trying to get her legs to hold her rather than his painful grip.

"Y-you - you, k-killed her...?" She whimpered out, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Why would I do something such as that?" His eyes narrowed as he gripped her chin tighter, digging a finger nail in to her skin and watching as the blood poured down from the wound with mild fascination.

"B-but..- But th-then..." Was the only words that she could pull out of his lips as she tried to struggle backwards, getting an amused stare out of the man above or rather in front of her.

He growled out as the girl started to have tears leak from her eyes, whimpering a sobbing like a baby in his eyes, "So much like her... But not nearly enough." He growled out before pushing her backwards with such strength that she seemed to glide over the rough roof surface.

He started to slowly advance on her, as she tried to scramble back, tears starting to fall from her eyes.

"Rido." Called a voice from behind them all, as the man turned and started at him, his eyes still as mad as before, Yuuki looked up with a small amount of relief trying to hold back hiccups that were escaping her mouth.

Kaname stood there looking at Rido with disgrace, as he started to walk slowly towards the other man.

It was only then, that Aido appeared - seemingly out of no where - next to Yuuki and picked her up, trying to distance her from the battle before them.

"You... You can't be here... You died... A long, long time ago..." A grin fell on to his lips as he tried to make heads or tails of the situation in front of him. But his eyes, his eyes they burned with everything - His confusion, his pain, his hate, but most of all his madness, his eyes filled to the rim with madness shaping the world around him like a child's game.

Kaname's eyes almost soften as he stared at the figure ahead of him, who was glaring at him like something out of place in the world.

"I'll just have to get rid of you then." Rido said aloud his conclusion to something that no one asked nor even thought of.

It was then that he lunged forward towards Kaname, only to be hit back by seemingly nothing, before standing up to try again.

"That's it, I'll kill you!" He flew towards Kaname, and landed a small blow on his arm, before returning to his original position, and staring down at Kaname.

The attempts kept on coming, blood dripping from his hands, as the others watched on, Kaname seemed to be... holding back? Why? Why on earth would he hold back again someone trying to kill him?

Their train of thought was broken by the sound of a gun shot, eyes flew to Rido who was clutching a grazed but healing shoulder, before staring over at where the gun shot had come from.

There stood Zero Kiryu, standing slightly hunched over with a gun in his hand, and a pained expression.

"I told you not to loose yourself to the madness, Rido."

A/N: I ended on a bit of a cliff hanger there, but oh well, it isn't that much of a big cliff hanger - I barely see it as one, if I hadn't left off at that scene. I'll try and update this sometime soon.

I hope you enjoyed the second chapter :)

Thank you for reading and please review :D
