It was a new breed of vampire, one that had an unusual way of surviving. They weren't like the other common vampires, although they still drank blood. In fact, one would think that the new breed had no difference from a common blood-sucker. They had beautiful faces, and moved around with grace and elegancy. Almost every single one could be mistaken for an Aristocratic vampire. The one thing that divided the two species?

In order to survive, the new breed of vampires needed their blood sucked practically on a daily basis by another vampire. There were times where they begged neighborly blood-suckers to do the deed, but most of the time they lived with the vampire that changed them. It was easy to indicate when their blood needed to be sucked. They'd begin choking harshly as the poison inside of them began to broil out of control. The choking could go on for several hours if their blood failed to be sucked, and if that happened, they would die a cruel death.

And like all other vampires, this breed needed to feed on the blood of others, but there was another cruel twist to this breed. They couldn't just suck any human's blood; they required to drink another vampire's blood. They couldn't even take blood tablets; they would just vomit it all back up.

The fate of this new breed seemed almost tragic. How it came into creation? No one knows… And there is one law that they all must follow: They must never, ever, get together with a Pureblooded vampire.

Kiki wearily stood in front of the entrance to Cross academy, her feet practically frozen onto the ground. Today was the day that she would be enrolling into the academy. She wasn't going to be in the day class, though. She would be enrolled into the night class. Why? Because she was a vampire.

She jumped a tad when a hand grasped her shoulder firmly. Turning her head, she let out a shaky breath. "Oh Tori, you scared me…" she mumbled quietly.

Her older brother kept his hand on her shoulder. "Sorry…" he answered back, running his fingers through her long, black hair. He began moving her hair to the side so the pale flesh of her neck was visible.

"Right here?" Kiki whined, trembling from his touch. She listened as he let out a chuckle.

"It has been a few days…" He leaned down and ran his tongue up her neck.

Kiki quickly turned to face him. "I'm fine right now," she said quickly. She ran a hand across his face, lifting his bangs so she could see the scar that went over his eye. She felt her insides twist with aversion. He had gotten that scar from when he was attacked by that retched vampire that changed him, and because of that, he could no longer see out of that eye.

Tori frowned and reeled away from her touch. "Well, you need to find me later, then. I don't want you getting sick because you didn't want your blood sucked."

She sighed. "Fine, geez… You can be so mean, sometimes…" She crossed her arms and looked back towards the school. "I should go and talk to Headmaster Cross now. I need to get settled in."

He nudged her forward. "Don't let me stop you," he said, crossing his arms. "Remember, find me tonight." He then quickly vanished out of sight.

Kiki let out a sigh and began her short trek to where the Headmaster waited for her. To her surprise, the girly-looking man stood in front of the night dormitory, his hands held together. She wondered how long he had been standing there.

"My, was Tori losing control?" he asked, slightly concerned.

Both Kiki and Tori knew Kaien Cross from their past; he was their father's best friend. So of course he knew about the two of them. Their father had just informed him on both of their situations, both of them being the new breed of vampire.

She shook her head to the man who was her father's best friend. "I haven't had my blood sucked for a few days," she said as she wrapped her arms around him. "It's nothing to worry about, Headmaster."

Cross patted the top of her head, narrowing his eyes. "Your father wants me to watch you as if I were your parent, so I will worry about you." He gave her a smile. "Will your brother be returning, then?"

"He said he would later tonight…" Kiki muttered, taking a step back. "I hope you don't mind…"

"Not at all," he exclaimed. "As long as he doesn't bother the other students here." He held a hand to his chin. "Which gets me thinking… Why isn't he enrolling?"

The little vampire shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I guess he doesn't like being surrounded by people."

Cross nodded slowly. "Understandable." He gently patted her shoulder. "Well I'm sure you're tired, but I'm afraid the vampires will have to take it from here." He rubbed the top of her head wildly. "You know where to find me if you ever feel uncomfortable."

Kiki smiled. "Yes, thank you." She waved to the Headmaster as he began walking away. She then gulped and turned to look at the door. Not long ago she wouldn't have had to enroll into the night class; she only recently had become a vampire. Most people would be shocked when she said that the vampire to change her was none other than her older brother.

Nervously, she brought her hand to the door, wavering. She knew that there would be no turning back. Once the door was open, she knew that she would finally have to accept her fate as a vampire. Sucking in her fears, she quietly knocked on the door twice. It didn't take long for her to hear footsteps approaching, and then the door opened a tad. A young man with blonde hair and green eyes stood on the other side.

"Oh, you must be Kiki! The Headmaster said you would be coming!" he greeted happily. He opened the door widely and held his head out. "Come in!"

"Thank you," Kiki said as she walked into the building. It was very spacious and fancy-looking. That's what happens when all the vampires (or at least most of them) were aristocrats.

The vampire shut the door and smiled at her. "I'm Takuma Ichijo, the vice president in this dormitory." He began walking up the stairs. "I'll go get the dorm president for you." He pranced up the staircase and vanished in seconds. Kiki strode over to the nearby couch and took a seat. She figured that everyone would be asleep, since it was the afternoon, but Takuma had been kind enough to stay up to greet her. What a kind vampire…

Kiki then flinched as soon as she heard an awfully familiar voice from the top of the staircase. She quickly stood and turned to face the stairs. Tears sprang into her eyes and her heart began to beat faster as she watched the dark-haired young man stride down the steps.

He gave her a smile, his eyes sparkling. "It has been a while, hasn't it Kiki?" he said gently.

The little vampire sprinted up to him and jumped into his embrace. "Kaname!" She pressed her face into his chest. "I've missed you so much!"

Kaname held her against him. "I have missed you as well." He moved back a tad and stared down into her eyes. "When did this happen?" he asked, resting a hand on the side of her face. "Who changed you into this being?"

Kiki sniffled and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. "It was just recently…" She looked at the ground. "My… my older brother was the one to change me…"

"Tori?" He looked at her, clearly shocked. "I did not know that he was a vampire."

She nodded. "He went missing for a few years, and that's why." She sighed. "The vampire that changed him injured his eye, too, so he's blind in it…"

Kaname ran his fingers through her hair. "I am sorry that you had to go through all of that…" he whispered. He turned his head slightly as he heard movement, but he ignored it. He leaned down closer to her face. "You can stay in my dorm today."

At his tone of voice, she blushed and shuddered. "A-are you sure you're okay with that?" she asked, her voice shaking slightly.

He smiled at her. "We could catch up with each other…" He took in her scent before continuing. "Unless you are too tired…"

"N-no!" she shouted quickly, holding her hands up. She looked from side-to-side as he stared at her quizzically. "I-I mean… I'm not really used to sleeping during the day…" she added. She could feel her cheeks warming as Kaname pulled her back into a hug.

"It is alright. We can talk then. Does that sound fine to you?" He placed a hand on the back of her head.

Kiki could feel memories flooding back into her head as she placed her hands on his chest. She let out a breath. "Yes…" She lifted her head and smiled up at him. "That sounds fine."

Kaname gently took a hold of her hand and led her up the stairs. She looked around the area, awe-stricken on how beautiful the dormitory was. Then again, she had come from a rather poor family, so this was like heaven to her. Her head quickly bumped into Kaname's back as they stopped abruptly. He was frowning.

"Hanabusa, what are you doing up?" he asked, even though there was no other creature to be seen. It didn't take long for Kiki to spot the blonde-haired vampire that came into their view. His eyes were an icy blue color, and he had a soft and gentle face. He bowed down shamefully.

"I'm sorry, Lord Kaname. I-I was just curious about the strange scent that's floating about…" he stuttered, keeping himself bowed.

Kaname frowned irritably, and once Hanabusa stood straight, he smacked him across his cheek with the back of his hand. As the blonde vampire cowered down, Kaname spoke. "That strange scent happens to be someone whom is dear to me." His grip tightened on Kiki's hand. "Her name is Kiki, and she just recently became a vampire."

Hanabusa looked towards the little vampire. "It's very nice to meet you, Kiki," he said, giving her a brief bow. Kiki did the same for him.

"I-it's very nice to meet you, too, um… Hanabusa, was it?"

He nodded. "But you can call me Aido, if you want." He looked towards Kaname. "I'm sorry for snooping around, Lord Kaname. Please forgive me." He bowed down to the Pureblood once more.

Kaname eyed him harshly, but sighed. "All is forgiven, Hanabusa, but remember, this is not merely a strange new scent. Kiki will be attending this academy from now on." Hanabusa nodded to him.

"Understood." He then turned and strode along down the hallway to his nearby dorm room.

Kiki gently took a hold of Kaname's sleeve as she watched Hanabusa stride along. "Kaname… Why does he address you as Lord?"

"Well, Kiki, did I not ever tell you that I am a Pureblood?" he asked her, tilting his head questioningly. When Kiki shook her head, he pressed on. "Since I am the highest-ranking vampire, they must all obey my command."

The little vampire blinked slowly, taking in all of this new information. Either he had informed her about his social standing and she just didn't remember, or he never spoke of it in the past. "Does that mean I have to call you Lord Kaname?"

The Pureblood let out a chuckle that echoed down the hallway. "Not at all. Since I have known you for such a long time, I am sure that the formalities can slide."

Kiki smiled up at him and giggled. "Okay!" Her mind then whirled around frantically, trying to pinpoint this mysterious feeling that she was having. She had it with him when she was young too, but… It felt different. It wasn't the same warm feeling that caused her cheeks to redden. It was more of a major attraction that caused her entire body to feel weak and hot. Maybe this was love? Who could say…

Kaname led her into his dorm, where he shut the door as soon as they both entered. Kiki looked around, and was quite impressed. His room was rather big, with various furnishings dotted here and there. She sat down on the edge of his bed and looked towards the ceiling, letting out a sigh. It was so comfy; she just wanted to fall asleep at that moment. She flinched slightly as Kaname sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

"My poor Kiki… You must have been through so much trauma…" He sniffed at her neck, gently biting down on his lower lip. Kiki knew he was attempting to refrain from biting into her neck; her breed's blood was like candy to other vampires. He parted her hair away from her neck and kissed her flesh.

The little vampire let out a whine. "K-Kaname, i-is this a good idea?" She knew what he was about to do. There was no response, only a tongue that dragged along the base of her neck. Kiki shut her eyes tightly, trembling from the sensation. She knew this act was forbidden for her breed, but she couldn't resist; she couldn't pull back. She loved Kaname.

The Pureblood held onto the little vampire tightly. "Finally… I have waited to do this for so long…" he muttered before sinking his fangs deep into her neck. Kiki let out a quiet gasp, grabbing onto Kaname's arm tightly. This felt so right; so perfect. It was almost as if he could sense the poison in her body beginning to boil. She knew he wanted to help her.

"K…Kaname…" she whispered, both of her eyes turning blood red. She was suddenly aware of the growing hunger that escalated inside of her. She bit down on her lower lip with the tips of her fangs, trembling slightly as he drew away from her fresh wound. He stared at her, crimson blood dripping from his chin.

"Do you need a drink?" he asked, running his pale fingers through her black hair. The little vampire stared at him, her eyes in a lustful trance. She was so hungry; but she didn't want to seem demanding. Kaname gave her a smile and placed a kiss on her bleeding wound. "Go ahead. Even if the others smell my blood they would not dare to intrude."

Kiki crawled onto Kaname and stared down into his red eyes. "A-are you sure this is okay?" she asked, leaning down towards his neck to take in his scent. He smelt sweet, like honey. She could also smell the scent of her blood that trailed down from his mouth. His scent was so overpowering, but yet, it drove her crazy. She clung onto his shoulders tightly, awaiting his answer.

He let out a low chuckle and placed a hand on the back of her head. "Go ahead. Take as much as your body needs," he purred to her huskily. Kiki licked her lips appreciatively and then licked his neck gently, marveling in his taste. "So good…" she whispered before sinking her small fangs into his neck. His blood… It tasted so good. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she feverishly sucked in his liquid candy, pleasured tingles buzzing throughout her bloodstream. She let out a moan as she felt Kaname wrap his arms around her waist. She didn't want to take too much of his blood, and she had a feeling that one of the vampires would grow curious and come to investigate the two different scents of blood that intermingled with each other. She willed herself to pull away from his neck and stare away shamefully.

"I'm sorry, K-Kaname…" she mumbled, licking the remnants of his blood off of her lips. The Pureblood just chuckled.

"There is no need to apologize," he pointed out, playing with the single white highlight in her hair.

The little vampire stared at the Pureblood, feeling ashamed of herself. She didn't know what would happen if another vampire of the same breed as her found out about her forbidden act; but she didn't want to worry about it too much. She gave him a small smile. "Well… th-thank you for allowing me to quench my thirst…" she mumbled, her eyes returning to their normal color; one dark red and one dark purple.

Kaname sat her up next to him, setting his hands on his lap. "You are very welcome. I will be willing to help you out when you feel hungry once more."

Kiki giggled and then looked towards the door as she heard a soft knock. She knew it; another vampire had come to investigate. Kaname stood up from beside her and strode over to the door, opening it a crack.

"Yes?" he asked.

The voice from the other side was that of a female's. "Lord Kaname, I-I smelt your blood and some other vampire's blood… I-is everything okay?" Kiki tilted her head curiously and then stood up, striding over towards Kaname, but he held his hand out to stop her.

"Yes, everything is just fine, Ruka. You should be getting ready for class. There is no need to worry about me."

The female vampire hesitated a moment before nodding her head. "Yes, Lord Kaname…" she murmured, bowing down. She then turned around and walked away. Kaname shut the door and turned to look at Kiki.

"I am sorry about that," he apologized, patting her head. "Maybe you should take a rest before class starts. You have at least a few hours."

It was as if he read her mind; she was just going to ask if she could sleep. She nodded her head gratefully. "Y-yes… Th-thank you, Kaname." He led her over to the bed and waited for her to burrow underneath the covers. He knelt down and planted a kiss on her forehead. Kiki shuddered from the sensation and gave him a small smile. "I-I'll see you soon, right?"

The Pureblood nodded. "I will be right here when you wake up, I promise," he said before Kiki closed her eyes. She began thinking about Kaname, and what the rest of her time at Cross Academy would be like. Her future looked bright; soon she and Kaname would be married… At least that's what she hoped. But there was that constant fear nagging at the back of her mind of what would happen when she was found out; what would happen when other vampires of her breed realized that she was in love with a Pureblood.
