Chapter 2: A Day at Cross Academy
A/N:... Sorry it took so long to update... Please don't murder me... My brain just scatters... A lot and I lose track easily until it comes back to me...
RYU-ZA'S P.O.V.
13 YEARS LATER
"EVERYONE BACK THE HELL UP BEFORE I GET EVEN MORE PISSED OFF THAN I ALREADY AM!" I yelled as the girls surrounded the Night dorm entrance.
Damn fan girls obsessed with the filthy blood suckers... Well, I guess Mirā and Hirō are alright, but only because they're wizards like me.
It was 13 years since I was disowned by the bastard and Mother in favor of my brother. But Dad took me in and I was trained to deal with the uprising vampire underlings known as Level E's.
I became a vampire killing machine, along with my best friend Zero... But I was only able to reunite with him recently, unfortunately he was no longer human... But he was still the same old Zero.
Then he introduced me and Dad to the Night Class, who happened to have two wizards in it. The first was a girl by the name Mirā Ichijo, the adopted younger sister of Takuma Ichijo. She had pale blonde hair that laid flat and reached the bottom of her back, with has bright blue eyes. She was an aristocrat with the power to turn her own blood into swords and was extremely loyal to the Night Class and... Her lover.
The second wizard vampire was the most surprising... A pureblood vampire named Hirō Kuran, the adoptive younger brother of Kaname Kuran. He had silky black hair with low lights of warm brown. His eyes were very strange to say the least, one was an emerald green and the other a warm brown. Apparently there's a ancient form of a blood adoption ritual that could turn a human into a pureblood vampire, but it most of the time that kills them.
Hirō and Kaname are the only members of the Kuran line left... They only have any each other now...
Kaname seems to have an eye for Yuki. And everyone knows that Hirō and Mirā are together.
The girls immediately backed away and Zero said, "Nice Ryū-za. That's a new record on scaring the Day Class away."
I smirked and said, "Well, you weren't here yet and they were ignoring Yuki as usual."
Then I heard the gate slowly creek open and the girls squealed with elation as the 'students' of the Night Class came out. There was Aido who was boasting as usual, while the girls squealed, Akatsuki trying to ignore his antics (and not set him on fire.), Rima and Senri talking to one another (completely ignoring the squealing girls), while Kaname and Takuma walking silently.
Then came out Hirō and Mirā hand in hand as they always did. The girls whined in disappointment that the younger brother of Kaname wasn't just taken, but by another night class member.
Mirā smiled and said in her soft wispy voice, "Strange how they think you're an item for the taking Lord Hirō."
He looked at her with a soft smile and said in his warm voice, "Now Mirā... There is no reason to call me Lord. You are my fiancee after all... We are equals."
Now that's one of the reasons I liked Hirō even though he's a blood sucker. He's not some pompous stuck up brat, he has humility and prefers to stay out of the limelight.
Mirā smiled and said, "Yes... Hirō."
He gave her a small peck on the cheek and walked away.
After all the Day and Night Class students left Zero shook his head and said, "I seriously don't get how stand these pompous jerks Ryū-za."
I laughed and said, "Not all the Night Class is pompous jerks Zero. You know for a fact the Mirā and Hirō are cool. They've never ingested another humans blood before and hate all the attention. They're far from being Aido."
Yuki giggled and said, "Ryū-za... You're so silly."
I smirked and said, "Well Zero seemed to abandoned his sense of humor somewhere, so I might as well pick it up."
Zero smirked and said, "Oh, ha, ha. Not everyone can be funny Scales For Brains!"
I retorted, "Well I can try, Noodle Breath!"
With that comment, the three of us burst out into laughter. After settling down Yuki looked at us and said, "Alright let's get down to business. Zero has the grounds near the Sun Dorms while I have the Moon, Ryū-za has hall duty today."
I nodded and said, "Yeah, just remember I have my lessons tonight, so I'll only be there for half the time."
Zero groaned and said, "Right... I forgot it was Thursday... I'll take over your shift when you leave."
I smirked and said, "Thanks Z. Can always count on you... Oh, and you too Pint Size."
"Oh come on! I'm not that short!" Yuki yelled as me and Zero laughed.
Zero replied, "Yeah, you kind of are, Yuki."
I smiled and said, "Well see ya later guys!"
And with that I was on my way towards the patrols at Cross Academy.
MIRA'S P.O.V.
"There you are Ryū-za... We've been waiting for you." I stated as me and Lord Hirō were seated in the classroom waiting for our fellow wizard.
Ryū-za had just entered the room with his shaggy blonde hair flipped to the left side of his head, making his ear piecing visible. His cool grey eyes were lined by black eye liner and a piercing at his right brow making them all too prominent. He wore his class uniform in a informal fashion giving him that punk rocker vibe which most of the Day class girls went nuts for.
He sighed and said, "Slight delay with some Day Class Girls sneaking in the halls... Again..."
Lord Hirō chuckled and said, "Doesn't that make it the 13th time this month?"
He nodded and said, "Damned girls need a better hobby than stocking vampires."
I nodded and said, "Especially Lo-... I mean Hirō..."
Hirō smiled at me and said, "You're doing better at it but it's okay to slip up... I'm no where near perfect so I don't expected it out of anyone. Especially you Mirā."
"Words well spoken Mr. Kuran."
We all turned to see Mr. Honda sitting at his desk with a soft smile. The three of us bowed to him and said, "Good evening Honda-sensei."
He bowed back to us and said, "Good evening to you as well Mr. Kuran, Mr. Yagari, and Ms. Ichijo."
We all took our seats and Mr. Honda stood up straight with a small smile. He then said, "Now, today we'll be discussing something of great importance since Headmaster Cross agreed to the invitation."
He waved his hand at the chalk board and said, "Kakikomi shōtai."
All of a sudden the board now had a message written in english which read;
Dear Magical Students, Creatures, and Faculty of Cross Academy,
You have been invited to participate in the Tri-Wizard's cup or in the event you accept our invitation, the Quad-Wizard's cup for the fame and glory of your school where one of the students may also win a thousand galleons as well.
Said students will live at Hogwarts and have all their needs taken care of due to their 'creature heritage'. We only ask that your student's not harm another and you send over two professors as well for a taste of your schools learning.
We hope to see you on the first day of Fall. And please feel free to make an entrance for official reasons.
Signed,
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry
"So... He accepted the invite and is sending us to Brittan for a year of schooling?" Ryū-za stated slightly pissed.
Mr. Honda shook his head and said, "Not just you... Several of the Night Class students and the Discipline Committee will be going as well... Your father and myself will also be tagging along, Ryū-za."
Ryū-za banged his head into the table and said, "Someone shoot me now... We're going to be stuck in a school of creature racist morons, stubborn headed idiots, and Pureblood supremacist... None taken Hirō but you know what I mean, the idiot wizard kind."
He nodded and said, "Hai... Brittan's magical world is in need of a wake up call... I assume my brother is coming along with Takuma?"
Mr. Honda and added, "Also Senri, Rima, Aido, and Akatsuki will be coming along as well while the rest of the Night Class is getting into a 'exchange program' while their dorms are being 'remodeled'."
Lord Hirō nodded and said, "In other words, a year of Home schooling due to the lack of guards other than Headmaster Cross. Wise choice since neither Purebloods would be here to push them back in line. Right Mirā?"
I nodded and said, "Yes... But this way they won't be able to do any harm."
Ryū-za sighed and said, "So they desire us there by the the 22nd of September and make an entrance?"
Lord Hirō gave off a laugh and said, "They'll never see what hit them when we arrive... After all..."
I watched my fiancee's mismatch eyes glow the un-earthly color of red as he smiled with fangs in full view.
"We are royalty amoungst our kind... Literal princes of the vampire world... Making an entrance is literally in our blood..."
ONE MONTH LATER
NATHAN POTTER'S P.O.V.
"Now please welcome our three guest schools!" Professor Dumbledore announced during supper from the Teacher's table where my Mum and Dad where sitting (Dad teaches DADA while Mum teaches History of Magic).
Today's the day all the students from the other schools come to compete and also meet me! The Boy-Who-Lived!
I defeated Voldemort as a baby and also during my first and second year when he was Qurriel and the diary of my girlfriend Ginny. They must be so honored to meet me!
The first to enter was the lovely ladies of Beauxbatons who sent smiles and waves my way. I mean who wouldn't? I'm the greatest! My friends Ron and Hermione always tell me that too.
Then came in the Durmstrang students who had this walking stick things... Whatever but they had Viktor Krum the famed Quittich Player... Maybe we can lure him into going to Hogwarts for his last year. He would make a great Gryffindor.
Everyone applauded the two and Dumbledore then stood once more. He then cleared his throat and said, "The next school is all the way from Japan where they've brought a tolerance of magical creatures and creature blood that we despritally need here in Brittan. They are a boarding school based on co-existence with humans and vampires. But don't fret, they have sworn off human blood and have an alternative substance that gives them nutrients and have offered to bring two new classes to our school during this wondrous year..."
He waved to the door and said, "Please give a warm welcome to the human and vampire students of Cross Academy!"
The doors burst open and a song began to play in a different language...
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
A swirl of blood red rose petals flew in the door as several figures walked in from the dark hallway as the magical tune played from no where.
Hanarerarenai
Mou nandomo akiramete wa oshikorosu tabi
Ikiba no nai kanjou ga me o samashiteku
Kegare no nai sono hohoemi zankoku na hodo
Tooi sonzai da to wakaru yo
Most of the students were dressed in white uniform laced with black but the other three had black uniforms laced with white on with white shoulder bands and some strange symbol on it.
Ienai kizu Kokoro mushibamu dake na no ni
Yami no (Naka ni) Ima mo (Yadoru) Omoi o osaekirenai
There was two leading the way through the hall while the others followed willingly.
The two in front looked similar in some ways and different in others.
The older one had deep brown hair and warm brown eyes with icy pale skin, yet he wore a warm smile that could charm a girl in seconds.
The younger one had black hair with streaks of brown running through it, his eyes were two different colors, one the warm brown while the other was an unearthly green almost compared to my Mum's eyes. He too had icy flawless skin and he wore a small smile as well.
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
Deatte shimatta unmei ga mawaridasu
Dare mo dare mo shiranai himitsu
Ochite ochite ochite
Mou modorenai Tsumi o kizande mo Kitto
As soon as they began walking by the tables the other students in the white uniforms began doing things that I never seen done with wandless magic!
Kodoku no fuchi aruki nagara sukuwareteita
Donna toki mo kawaranai REAL na hitomi
Demo hikari ga mabushii hodo umareru kage wa
Fukaku irokoku shinobu yoru yo
The orange haired guy made fire balls in his hands while the blonde next him made ice crystals in his.
Futatsu no kodou Marude awase kagami no you ni
Niteru (Keredo) Chigau (Itami) Mugen ni tsuzuiteiku
The girl with pigtails began shooting lighting from her palms while the stoic boy next to her bit his thumb and made whip out of his own blood and began whirling it around.
Akaku akaku akaku moete
Subete subete keshite
Kanau koto no nai maboroshi ga ugokidasu
Tsuyoku tsuyoku hakanai yoru o
Koete koete koete
Nogarerarenai Tsumi ni oborete mo Kitto
Next there was the set of blondes behind the leaders who one pulls out a sword and began moving it at insane speeds while the girl (who kind of looked like Star Lovegood) slit her wrist with her fingernail and made a sword with her blood and she too began to wield it at equally as fast pace.
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
Deatte shimatta unmei ga mawaridasu
Dare mo dare mo shiranai himitsu
Ochite ochite ochite
Mou modorenai Tsumi o kizande mo Kitto
Near the back were the three students in black uniforms, two boys and one girl.
The brunet girl carried a long Bo-staff while the two boys had a single gun in hand with a chain leading into their jackets.
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
Hanarerarenai
The teachers in the back were weird too.
One wore a cowboy hat, eye patch, a duster, and a rifle, all while smoking a cigarette.
The other teacher looked rather stoic with short almost bob like hair and warm brown eyes. He wore a all white uniform with a sword at his hip.
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
Deatte shimatta unmei ga mawaridasu
Dare mo dare mo shiranai himitsu
Ochite ochite ochite
Mou modorenai Tsumi o kizande mo Kitto
Once in the front of the hall, the music stopped, all the students stopped what they were doing, and bowed to the front table and said, "Konichiwa Sensei no Hogwarts."
"Why they do that?" Ron whispered.
Hermione replied, "They're from Japan. It's their custom Ron."
The eye patch teacher bowed to the Headmaster and said, "Konichiwa Dumbledore-san. Headmaster Kaien Cross sends his greatfullness although he is not able to attend with us due to the other students within our school."
The man in question then turned to the crowd and said, "Alright you gakis, listen up! Those in white uniforms are of vampire blood, while those in black uniforms are humans who are trained to keep them in line. We ask you do not antagonize our students of the safety of yourselves and others."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "As I said earlier we will have two new classes added this year with the help from Cross Academy. Professor Toga Yagari will be teaching Ethics, a class on where verbal debate is allowed and discusses the topics both believed to be right or wrong. While Professor Kiku Honda will be teaching World Magics, a class where students will learn new spells from all over the world."
Two more classes?! This is going to be a drag!
The boy with the mix-matched eyes looked up at Dumbledore and said in a cool and warm voice, "Excuse me Dumbledore-sensei, but we would like to sit down... The journey was very long and we have grown rather weary..."
He nodded and said, "You all may take your seats at any of the tables, while your Professors will sit at the head table with us."
The older looking leader smiled and said, "Ariagto Dumbledore-sensei."
He nodded and said, "No problem Mr...?"
"Kuran. I am Lord Kaname Kuran and this is my younger brother, Hiro Kuran."
Kuran? What kind of last name is that? And a lord? What makes him so special?
The Cross Academy Students bowed once again to the staff and headed for the far end of the Ravenclaw table.
Hermione gazed over at them and said, "You know three of them look familiar..."
Ron raised a brow and said with a mouth full of food, "Oh yeah, who?"
She sneered at him and said, "Well the the long blonde haired girl looks a lot like Star Lovegood. The blonde Gothic looking human boy looks a tad bit like Marcus Malfoy... And..."
I sighed and said, "And what?"
"Well that dual eye boy... He kind of looks a bit like your Dad... With brown hair streaks and a bit more built."
I laughed and said, "Please Moine... He looks nothing like my Dad... Besides that would mean I'm related to a vampire."
HIRO'S P.O.V.
(Italics is Japanese and/or other languages and letters)
"So those two up there..." Kaname pointed out in Japanese to the red headed woman and her dark haired husband sitting up at the Professor's table.
Since we arrived I was expecting to run into my younger ex-sibling but not them too...
I nodded and said, "Yeah... Those are the ones... My so called 'birth parents'..."
I then directed my eyes to the slightly chubby boy with red hair, dark brown eyes, and the snake shaped scar, and said, "And that is the object of their attention in which the abandoned me for..."
Kaname took up his glass to his lips and said, "They are truly fools to abandon you brother... They will get their reckoning."
"E-Excuse me...?"
I looked down a bit to see a girl that looks a bit like Mira only younger and her hair a bit more wavy.
She looked at me and asked, "That girl over there... By the blonde boy with the sword... What's her name?"
I looked at the girl with a brow raised and replied, "She is Mira Ichijo, an aristocratic vampire and my fiancee... Why did you need to know Ms...?"
"Star... My name is Star Lovegood... And well... She looks a lot like my big sister that went missing... She looks like the pictures, I mean to say..."
I gave a nod and said, "Perhaps you may talk to Mira on a later date, right now she's tired from using her powers..."
Star bowed the traditional Japanese way and said, "Arigato..."
"Hiro. I am Hiro Kuran and this is my elder brother Kaname. And no problem Star-chan."
With that the girl walked back to her seat.
Kaname smirked and said, "So Mira's family is alive? Interesting."
I nodded and said, "It appears she wouldn't be judged for being a vampire, which is good... I think the port-key she used burned up after she used it... According to Mira that was the only way Takuma's and Mira's parents met up."
Kaname nodded and took a sip of the blood tablet water. I looked towards Professor Kiku and he nodded towards me.
I looked at my brother and said, "I must retire... I am to attend classes during the day 3 days of the school week. Good evening Nii-san."
Kaname nodded and said, "Goodnight Ototo. And good luck with your classes in the morning."
(You may have noticed the name of the Cross Magic teacher... Perhaps I will reveal where he is from... We shall see...)
