This morning I woke up and prepared for the day. Before I brushed my teeth, I filled three cups of water and got my red box and pulled three tablets out. I placed them in the water and watched as the water turned red. I drank all three, although it felt uncomfortable, making sure that I would be prepared. I checked my uniform, pulling my silver hair up into a ponytail. Straightening up my uniform, I walked out of my dorm towards class. I knew there will be a huge fuss today. Because today was Valentine's Day.

I already had three packages of handmade chocolates in my pocket. I walked out into the courtyard and saw a flock of Day Class girls standing in front of the Moon Dorm gates. I ran and saw Yuki on the wall, trying to keep the girls under control. I managed to make it to the gates and started yelling, 'Classes are starting now! Please go to your classrooms NOW!' I noticed a girl on another girl's shoulders, trying to deliver her chocolates. I heard Yuki yell out, 'Hey you! Get down from there!' The girl accidentally shifted her weight and started falling backwards. I pushed my way through the crowd of girls, hoping to make it in time. But Zero beat me to it. He caught her in his arms, bridal style. 'Hooray! Go Zero!' Yuki shouted. I smiled. Zero glared at the rest of the girls and said, 'I've told you a thousand times now. Members of the Night Class do not leave the Moon Dorms during daylight hours. If you absolutely must give them presents, it will have to wait till dusk. Come back when the Day and Night Class change over. If any of you try to pull a stunt like that again…I'll personally make sure that you're suspended each year on Valentine's Day until you graduate.'

I sighed. On Valentine's Day, Zero never got chocolates from anyone besides me because he always acted so cold to all the other girls and Yuki's chocolates….well, let's say cooking and Yuki don't mix.

I heard all the girls' mumbling, saying it was unfair and Zero was just being cruel. Little did they know the horrors of the people behind these gates. The Day Class girls returned to their classrooms while Yuki climbed down from the wall. Yuki touched Zero's shoulder and said, 'So once again, you started off Valentine's Day as an enemy of all womankind….You do realise that you just killed any chance of getting chocolates, right?' Zero turned to face Yuki, a small evil glare showing and said, 'What should I have said. After all, my duty as a guardian is to prevent the Day Class students from ever finding out what the Night Class really is.' I nodded and Yuki said, 'Yeah. We have to be extra careful tonight.'

As I walked behind the chatting friends, I couldn't help but smile.

'But there is an increased danger that something might go wrong, to expose the Night Class's true identity. For that reason, I expect the 3 of you to be even more diligent than ever. You are, after all, the school guardians!' I just nodded in response as Yuki raised her hand and said, 'Yes, Sir!', while Zero sighed and said, 'That's why I said we should just ban it…' 'Wouldn't that just inspire a riot? It's best to give them an outlet', the Chairman replied. And then with stars in the background, he said, 'And after all, all my little vampires are just too adorable … such dear little creatures … I could never be so cruel as to keep them from their devoted fans.' While he was having his little speech, I was shaking my hands thinking, 'Don't… do… that' I could already feel the aura of hate coming off from Zero.

I turned to look at him. He was glaring at him with evil eyes. While Yuki, standing behind him said in that evil sounding voice of hers, 'Don't Praise Those Vermin Scum To My Face.' Then she said in her normal voice, 'That's what Zero is thinking.' The Chairman sighed.

The Chairman stood up and faced the window behind his desk. He stared out with a sad look on his face. 'Well…I understand that vampires have been enemies of humans for some centuries now. But there are still some memories who wish to co-exist with us peacefully…it's important to teach them to have pride in taking the first steps to bridge the divide between our 2 races', he explained. 'Kiryuu.' Zero looked up slightly. 'Even though you may think it's impossible now… someday, I want you to understand that.' I watched as Zero looked away. 'That's impossible. The past can never be erased.' As he said that, I could see the images of our dead family, on the floor, bleeding. And that woman.

'And you believe that because they're beasts in human form…who drink human blood?' All those memories of that night flashed in my mind, tears pricking my eyes. I quickly brought up my sleeve and wiped away the tears that threaten to fall down my face. Mother… Father… Ichiru… They're gone, forever…

Suddenly, Yuki waved her arms around and started saying things like 'uh' and 'umm' and suddenly jumped on the desk. Holding out a small package, she said, 'Here, for you, Chair-… Father! Happy Valentine's Day!' And then she threw back a small piece of paper to Zero and called out, 'And this is for you Zero! As always!' Soon the Chairman went all hyper and started saying 'Yaaay! Twenty Coupons for Yuuki's shoulder massages!' While Zero looked at the paper with a straight face, 'One slave coupon.' He stared at Yuki and said, 'It's exactly the same thing you gave us back when you were in primary school.' Yuki looked angry and said loudly, 'SO SUE ME!'

Then I remembered I had chocolates. 'My turn! My turn!' All the others looked at me as I scrambled to grab two boxes out of my pocket. 'Here you go, Chairman!' I tossed one of the boxes at him. He caught it and… he dropped it. 'Ooops! Sorry Chairman!' I turned to face Zero, preparing to throw him his box. 'Now, ready Zero. Catch!' And the box of chocolates went flying in the air. Zero caught it and made a small smile.

Then Yuki looked at the clock in the Chairman's office and saw the time. Grabbing my wrist in one hand and Zero's in the other, she called out, 'Come on, we're going! First period is starting!' As I looked back at the Chairman, he was hugging the box of chocolates and coupons. I smiled at his childishness.

And Zero looked happy too. And that's a good thing.
