"If you're aware of that, why don't you add more members to the Disciplinary Committee?!" Zero demands. "All I have is her and she's useless!"

Yuki looks thoroughly offended. "Hey! I don't have to take lip from someone who is late all the time!" she yells at him.

"Alright, Zero. I have someone who volunteered. She have proven herself quite capable." Kaien Cross stood from his chair. "Zero, Yuki, I would like to introduce you to the final member of the Disciplinary Committee. Mirai, you may enter!" The door opened and what was revealed was gorgeous. She had black and white hair that went down to her ass, and emerald green eyes. She wore a Day Class girl uniform, but had heels on rather than black flats. Her hair was tied up in a bun with a single red hair-tie. "If you two are willing to accept her, I can give her this!" Kaien held up a white armband with a red rose on it.

"I'm okay with it." It shot out of Zero's mouth so fast, they all looked at him with shocked expressions. In fact, he only said anything so no one would notice his had dropped at the 15-year-old's beauty.

Mirai smiled a little. "Well... with Mr. Kiryu's permission..." She gave a slight giggle. Mirai's voice was tainted with a Scottish accent.

"Just... call me Zero," he requested.

"Mr. Zero," she compromised.

Zero nodded immediately, loving the way his name sounded on her lips. Mirai giggled again. Zero could have groaned. That giggle was so sultry and innocent. He saw the headmaster look at Yuki and grin. He handed the armband over. Looking at Yuki, he saw her wide smile as well. He made a mental note to smack her later.

"May I ask: could you show me the ropes. I can fight with my sword, but I don't know my way around campus quite yet."

"Sure," he replied without missing a beat. He held out his arm like a gentleman, and Mirai looped hers through his. Zero walked out with him, showing the newest member of the school around. "What did you mean "yet"? You're new, after all. Was today your first day?" he asked.

Mirai shook her head, her icy bangs swaying back and forth. "No, I've gone to this school for - this year makes - 3 years. You simply never noticed me for I do not pin over the Night Class nor am I Yuki," she began. "That is originally why I began training with an anti-vampire weapon, The Moon Sword - to get within your sights. But now I realize that I am too late. I see the way you look at Yuki; you pin after her, but I am still willing to help the school."

Zero thought about it and felt immensely guilty. "Oh, I'm so sor-" He was cut off my his own groaning. He rested his hands on his head.

"Mr. Zero?"

He reached into his jacket and pulled out a packet, but he dropped it.

Mirai gasped when she recognized it. She squatted and picked it up, taking a tablet out and giving it to her fellow committee member. "I will keep your secret, Mr. Zero. You may trust me," she whispered. He ate is greedily and then collapsed. Mirai lifted his arm over her shoulder and took him back to his dorm. The next morning she was up and ready for the day, which went on without a hitch.


On the night patrol, Mirai saw Yuki in a Night Class student's grasp. He scrapped her palm with his fang. The Day Class students off to the side almost fainted. Mirai jumped off the balcony. She pulled out the Moon Sword, Luna, and pointed it at the Night Class students. "I am not aware of your names, but I am aware that you need to release Yuki!" she demanded.

"I-is Aido a vampire?" a girl from behind her squeaked.

So, that was his name! "No, Amari. We are practicing for a Night Class play. It is about a school called "Knights". Contrary to the belief that it is about vampires, it is, in fact, about a school to train students to fight the creatures of the night," Mirai spat out the lie. "The fangs are fake, but glued to his actually blunt teeth. Mr. Aido, release Yuki. The play is not till the end of the year and you do not know your lines," she hissed. When he did not budge, she shot forward, slicing his arm open. The blood made the girls faint.

Yowling in pain, Aido threw Yuki away from himself. He whirled around to look at the human who dared harm him. He had every intention of draining her, but was distracted by her neck. Not only was her hair up, but she held her chin high, exposing it all the way. "You know, I could kill you," he growled.

"You know? You could try..." She helped Yuki up, never breaking his gaze. The red did not seem to make the green waver or uncomfortable. Suddenly, Zero and Kaname showed up. Kaname assured that those two would be taken care of.

He began to say that the Day Class students' memories would be taken, but Yuki told them how Mirai lied. "And tomorrow, I'll tell them that the blood was fake!" Yuki added.

Mirai didn't know what it was, and she wouldn't ever admit it, but something about the Pureblood made her freeze. Her gaze remained on him, and thankfully, she still maintained control of what it looked like. She made sure that it was a distrustful and cautious look. When they walked away, Mirai waited until they were out of sight, but could still hear them. "Yuki," she began. "If any vampire ever does that to you again, I will kill them. If I get punished for it, then so be it." She walked away, leaving Yuki and Zero alone.


"Yuki's blood was so delicious. And that other girl, Mirai, I can imagine the sweet taste of her blood," Aido all but moaned.

Kaname slapped him. When walking back into his room, he licked his finger which now had Aido's blood on it. "Yuki," he murmured. He thought about the girl he saved a decade ago. Soon, his thoughts turned to the girl who had drawn blood from an Aristocrat. He knew nothing about her. Kaname made sure to ask Yuki about her, and if she didn't know, she'd go to the girl himself.
