Chapter One for a request! I hope you guys enjoy! R&R! And if you get the chance, check out some of my other VK fanfics, Impossible (completed with an epilogue coming as soon as I finish the VK requests I currently have) and Nekos Like Blood Too (incomplete). For any Naruto fans as well, I have two SasuSaku fanfics, It Started At A Rave (complete with a possible epilogue, that's undecided as of this time) and Love And Revenge (Incomplete, currently in hiatus because I have A. Run out of ideas as of this time and B. Went a little overboard with Naruto and need a break from it)
Disclaimer: I do not own the OC Sarah Shitou, she belongs to Alliana2312. I also, sadly, do not own Vampire Knight, for it belongs to Matsuri Hino-san.

I scoffed at the Level E in front of me. I couldn't help it; the thing was so out of control it wasn't even human enough to fight properly. I rolled my eyes at the easy prey in front of me and hoped that the blood covering its body wouldn't stain Last Day. I pulled out my beautiful katana and smiled at the familiar weight in my hands.
"Time to die, fucker," I muttered as I curled my lip in disgust and hatred at the thing in front of me. I hated Level Es. They took the lives of the innocent, like Mikana my childhood best friend. It looked at me stupidly and lunged at my temporarily still form. I couldn't wait to chop its head from its shoulders. With one move I did just that, neatly side-stepping out of its way and bringing down Last Day, slicing through its neck and severing its spinal cord. I stared coldly at it as the thing before me turned to dust on the ground, blowing away with the wind. I turned to go, sheathing Last Day after carefully inspecting it for blood, and turned to go back to the Headmaster's office to report my easy success.
Kuran, Aido, Kain and Ichijo were all there when I came in; their heads swiveled to look at me. I smiled at Aido, Kain, and Ichijo. They were all good friends of mine; it saddened me that they spent so much time with Kuran though. He's such a creep; he's just a creepy pureblood. He scared the hell out of me.
"Sarah-chan!" Aido said happily, glomping me. He had a mischievous look in his eye and I knew we were going to have some fun later, my pranking buddy and I.
"Hey Aido," I said as Kain pulled him off me, only to be replaced with Ichijo throwing an arm around my shoulder in a light, one-armed hug. "Kain, Ichijo."
"Business or pleasure, Shitou-san?" Kuran asked, interrupting our hellos.
"Business that has now also become pleasure." I replied coolly before turning to the chairman. "The Level E was disposed of; none of the Day Class students were attacked or saw, or heard anything." I informed the man behind the desk. I often wondered how he could've ever been a vampire hunter but always figured he had just gone insane. I mean, the man wanted me to call him "Daddy" for the love of god!
"Ah, thank you so much Sarah-chan!" He said. I could practically see the happy flowers and twinkles framing his housewife-like clothed form. No joke, the man dressed like he's some guy's wife waiting for her husband to get home with the personality to match. "It's wonderful of you to do this, I don't have to grieve over it, Zero-kun and Yuuki-chan can focus on their main duties, and the Night Class doesn't have to deal with them. It's such a help!"
"I don't mind it at all, chairman." I said after he stopped gushing over nothing.
"Why won't you call me 'Daddy' Sarah-chaaaan?!" He whimpered dramatically with waterfall tears, curled in the corner growing mushrooms. Kain, Kuran and I all sweat dropped.
"Because you aren't my father." I told him bluntly. I gave up on trying being kind with this subject. It wouldn't do any good.
"… So cruel…" He said with more waterfall tears. This time Ichijo and Aido joined in on our sweat drop fest. Turning serious, he turned back to us and sat in his chair semi-composed. "You should rest, Sarah-chan." He told me. This was one of the rare times he made sense and didn't irk me over the "Daddy" issue.
"Yes Headmaster," I said. "Goodnight." I quickly turned to leave before he whined again.
"I'll walk you to the Dorms," I heard a charming voice say. I smiled at Ichijo as he put a hand gently on my elbow in a gentlemanly manor.
"Thank you, Ichijo." I replied, allowing him to lead me from the room. He smiled down at me and we linked arms as we walked. Ichijo was one of my best guy friends, as well as my crush. I could never get over how gentle and sweet he was to me.
"The pleasure is mine," He replied charmingly. And I've told you before to call me "Takuma", have I not?"
"You have," I replied. "I forgot." I fought back a blush at the idea of using his first name. It felt so intimate for me to call him Takuma, though I knew it meant nothing.
"My forgetful princess," He said teasingly. I laughed back at him.
"Does that make you my prince then, Takuma-kun?" I asked in an equally teasing tone. He grinned down at me.
"Of course not," He replied. "I am the villain plotting to steal the beautiful Sarah-hime¹ to keep her all to myself." I nearly blushed again but reined it in. Just barely.
"Then the villain must be disguised as a prince," I stated. "You don't look anything like a man from an old melodrama, twirling your mustache, plotting evil plans."
"Ah, but my dear Sarah-hime," He told me. "The most obvious villains are the ones who do not seem like villains."
"Oh dear!" I said in mock fear. "What shall I do then? I am here alone, with a charming prince, who is planning on stealing me away and taking virtue!"
"Perhaps he shall be kind and woo your heart instead," He said as we snickered at each other. One of the things I loved about him was how we could always joke with one another. He always knew how to make me feel better.
"Perhaps, but that wouldn't be nearly as fun now would it?" I asked with a pout before we just downright busted up laughing. I noticed then that we had stopped walking, already in front of the Sun Dorms. The walk was too short; it went by much too quickly for my tastes. "Alas I must bid you adieu, you must try to woo my heart another night." We snickered at each other again.
"Goodnight Sarah-chan." He said with a smile that never failed to bring joy to my heart.
"Good morning Takuma-kun." I said, smiling back and reached up to hug him. Our usual parting ritual was carried out once again. His night was my morning and his morning, my night as I could not be in the Night Class, where I would prefer to be. I have a few friends in the Day Class and I get along fine with everyone, but I would rather be with the Night Class where I wouldn't have to hide such important parts of myself. Of my life.
"Sleep well, hime." He said quietly, hugging me close. He pressed a feather-light kiss to my forehead before releasing me. I fought a blush once again, and smiled up at him.
"Stay awake well, Takuma-kun." I said, slightly jokingly. He smiled that heartwarming smile again before walking me up the steps and waited like the gentleman he was for me to slip inside and close the door. I was able to make it up to my dorm room and slipped in quietly, careful not to wake Maya, my roommate. I leaned against the door for a second and fanned my face slightly to help cool my fire-red cheeks.
He is SO fine! The bolder part of me thought. I couldn't help but agree. I quietly went through my routine before slipping in bed. I smiled a small smile and drifted my eyes shut, falling into Takuma-filled dreams. Ones where I was his princess, and he kept me safe from all the villains in the rest of the kingdom.
Yay! Chapter One is done! So people, please R&R, tell me whatcha think.
Hime¹ – It means "Princess" and just like in English, can be used as either an endearment or mockingly. In the case of Takuma and Sarah it's being used as the former.
Please R&R Impossible and Nekos Like Blood Too if you can. It would mean a lot to me and me likiez the feedbacks! I also won't update this one again until I get 5 reviews so that I'm guaranteed feedback for it. :P Ja ne! – Akemi
