Chapter 1

~~ The Guardian ~~

I knew that when I started my guardian studies that I will need to protect a noble clan when I finished this boring-ass academy. I knew I had to, it was what I was raised and trained to do. The training that I went through was shit it's true, but the fact that it made me stronger in every sense of the word, was worth it. The studies were okay too I guess, but I don't know why I need to know calculus and all that other shit normal kids my age would be doing in school, it's not going to help me. As a guardian we all needed to go through the oath hour where I declare myself to the noble family I protect. For me, in my special case, I'm going to be a personal guardian to one of the eldest children of the noble family. The whole family gets elder guardians twice my age and experience.

Noble's have to be guarded for protection of course, but the balance of power in the world must be equal. The three great houses of the world are the Lycans, Vamper'as and the Mortali. One death in any of the houses could be catastrophic. Well, that's what us guardians are taught to believe. The real truth has never been told. It's unspoken and unheard. I guess it doesn't matter. What matter's is the lives that are under our watch. That is what I believe, with every breath I take and with every drop of blood I have.

I am a guardian in Twilight Class. That means I'm a junior if I was in a normal school. The academy I go to is Rozaic Dimitric Academy named after the founders Rosa Hathaway and Dimitri…uh...something. But it's not like I care, they've been dead for years now. Both lived to a very peaceful death, in each other's arms. Weird, cheesy, and something straight out of a shojo manga. At the end of our academic days we are assigned which house we protect. Which also means that we will be sent off to different countries. The Acadamy is in the middle of no where, somewhere in North America. I'm still trying to decide where, but so far, I'm blank.

The Lycan's live somewhere in Europe. They always change the noble house very frequently as is tradition and procedure. The nobles had a very good year last year and needed tons of guardians. I'm kinda hoping I'll be there. I wouldn't mind fighting along side a Lycan. Especially if it's a girl. They are tough fighters.

The Mortali are actually a mixture of two substances. Magic and dirt. That's right you got it. The Mortali are the technically immortal humans of the world. They are somewhere on this very continent but I'm also sure that the nobles are somewhere in Africa. Of course they would stick out like a sore thumb unless the rumors were true.

The Vamper'as are the real immortals of this tri-some. They're in Asia. The whole place is they're territory, to some extent. They are strong, elegant, and beautiful, strong…did I mention they were strong? If they are the physical form of everything I hoped to be when it came to strength. They are always calm and I heard that the son of the King, the head honcho, the big kahuna, was able to stop a territory fight between they're own kind and believe me that's not common. Vamper'as were very quick to temper and very hard to calm down. I want to be that wise, calm and strong, even in battle. Like the Lycan's, or possibly more than the Lycan's, I want to be paired with this one too.

All the guardians are assigned a weapon when they graduate. I'm one of the only novices allowed to have a private weapon because of my so called 'steely' past. I have a gun which I call Bloody Rose. I know, another cheesy name, but hey, it works for me. I'm hoping that with this gun I will kill all that stand between me and my goal to protect the family I am assigned to now and forever. Not that far away are the nobles. Those are the people I'm going to be assigned to one day and they are the ones that come during a novice, like me, Twilight Class and or Dawn Class, meaning senior. That's when they look for guardians and very soon that day will come. I'm sure of it! But the fact that it is still about one month away is still getting me down a bit, but nobles are still allowed to glance our way if they see anything they like.

We guardians protect the nobles from a ever growing hunger for power. Death-walkers and Magic-swallowers are even more alive than ever. Vampires, the awful things the real humans call, are the real danger. They feed off of the blood of the nobles. They're power and magic flow through they're blood and the blood the vampires suck up, they retain that power and magic until they blood dries up in their hollow bodies. I should know, the tattoo on the side of my neck is my evidence of that self knowledge. Waking up this morning and finding myself rubbing it as it slowly burns at me even though it really isn't. It only does that when real danger is near. I honestly doubt that.

The real thing here that is bothering me is the rumor that the very same prince I was talking about has his eyes locked on me. Everyone says that my fate has already been sealed. I loved hearing that rumor. Even if I just say that it's nice to know that and other pleasantries to keep them thinking I don't care, I really, really do. The fact that someone has already picked me makes me ecstatic and excited. Of course, a rumor is a rumor and there is always that window of truth. It's best to leave that day to whoever deals with destiny. The other sad fact is that he is ready to graduate. This year is his last year and this is going to be my, as I already said before, Twilight Class.

But then my heart jumped out of my throat. I met him in the court yard in front of the guardian dormitories just the other day. It seemed like he was coming to see me…the way he walked was a god in the flesh. (After this encounter I had to repeatedly tell me that I wasn't gay) The god I met?

"Hello. You are Kiryuu Zero Guindal correct?"

His name is...

The boy bowed deeply, or as deeply as someone has ever did for me that is. His deep chocolate brown hair moving gracefully in the movement. "My name is Kuran Kaname Vampir'a." He smiled a smile that made my heart melt and my legs mush. His dark brown eyes showed a glint of amusement as he saw my redden cheeks. "I want you to be my guardian and I will wait for another year if that is what it takes."

Kuran Kaname Vampir'a. The prince of the Vamper'as. And my new charge...Kami help me.
