This idea just popped into my head and I felt like writing it. Hope it's not too bad.

[Prologue]
Cross Academy was still pretty much the same after Yuki, Zero, and Kaname and his group left. Though the school was nearly torn apart, it was quickly rebuilt during the summer so that both humans and vampires could continue to attend. The two types of students were still separated into two classes – the Day Class (humans) and the Night Class (vampires). My name's Mina, and I'm part of the Night Class.
It had been almost two months since school had started and everything was pretty much the same even with group gone: throngs of screaming Day Class students still pushed over one another just to say 'hi' or get a glimpse at our class, and blood tablets were still required by the school for us to be taken regularly to suppress our thirst for blood. But it didn't take long for things to get out of hand. Without Kuran-senpai around, the Night Class was more difficult to control – running off after curfew and drinking blood. I've already lost count of how many memories I've erased from stupid human girls from the Day Class who allowed vampires to drink their blood. Chairman Cross began tightening the rules – and he even cancelled St. Xocolatl's Day – but even that wasn't enough. Seriously, he was getting pissed. Precautions had to be taken, and Night Class presidents weren't enough, so he needed to think of an alternative, something effective to keep the Night Class out of trouble and the Day Class safe…His decision – new students that would be the new prefects of the Night Class.

It was almost seven and the sun was about to set. Kira, my best friend, and I stood with the others in front of the two large, oak doors waiting for them to open and walk to our first class of the evening.
She sighed and asked, "Do they never stop screaming? Are the guys in our class really worth all this trouble?"
A grin grew on my face, "It's because they've never actually lived with these jerks to know how idiotic they really are. Looks can be deceiving."
The doors began to open and one of the guys ran towards the opening to be the first to get out. But suddenly, the young vampire was thrust back and landed on the ground.
"What the hell was that?!" he yelled.
As the doors completely opened up, we saw standing before us five people – four guys and one girl – wearing the same Night Class uniform but with blue ties instead of the normal red. The five of them stared at our class with the humans roaring behind them. That's when I realized that the Day Class wasn't going crazy for us, not this time, but for the five strangers. Though they didn't look as elegant as us vampires, each one of them possessed an attractiveness that couldn't be explained and they all gave off an unsettling aura, especially the one in the middle.
The guy standing in the center of the group moved closer towards us and placed his hands in his pockets. He scanned the class and then said firmly, "Night Class students, no contact with the Day Class, just make your way to the classrooms as quickly as possible. Teachers are tired of you being late."
The vampire that was pushed to the ground earlier jumped up and rushed towards him.
"What right do you have to order us around?! Who the hell are you guys?!"
"We're the new prefects of the Night Class appointed by the chairman himself. If you have a problem, talk to him about it."
The man turned around without a second glance, and the prefects began rounding up the Day Class. They really didn't have much of a problem preventing the girls from chasing after someone in our class – because they were chasing after them now. We walked pass the crowd of girls surrfounding the four guys and a mass of boys beating each other's heads just to welcome the girl.
Kira turned to me, "Looks like we got some competition."
I didn't say anything, but turned to look at her. She was beautiful without a doubt, but there was just something different about the five of them.
I was confused with the chairman's decision to appoint new prefects after Yuki and Zero had left. What's the point? Can they really do anything to stop us from doing what we want? I mean who can stop us but a pureblood? And what's up with the blue ties?
"Come on Mina, we're gonna pay the chairman a little visit."
I turned around and saw Riku - he was the one that got pushed to the ground earlier. He grabbed my arm and pulled me with him towards the administration office.
"Why are you dragging me with you, there're dozens of other people for you to take along?"
"Because you're one of the chairman's favorite students out of both classes."
Are you serious?! I've already seen him a dozen times, trying to fix all the problems our class caused. God, Kaname! Why did you have to disappear all of a sudden?
Riku slammed open the door and barged in, his hand still clutching my arm. The chairman sat in his overly-sized armchair behind his desk, holding a cup of steaming tea in front of his face. He looked up from his tea with a smile and greeted, "Well hello there Mina and Riku. How's everything going? Did you two receive a new pack of blood tablets yet?"
"Yeah, we got the pills," I quickly replied before Riku could open his big mouth without thinking first.
"Oh, good, good. So what do you two need?"
"We want to know why the hell you didn't inform us that you appointed freakin' nannies for us, and it's not just one or two, but FIVE?!"
Riku was already over-towering the chairman who sunk low into his armchair. The chairman gently pushed him aside to stop the enraged boy from breathing on him. He got up from the armchair and walked over to get some more tea. As he prepared his drink, he replied calmly, "I didn't want to trouble everyone. I mean, it really isn't that big of a deal. They're just there to watch over the two classes just like Yuki and Zero did before they left."
"I don't see why you always have to put authority over our class. Do you not trust your own students?"
The chairman's smile immediately disappeared, and he looked up at Riku from his glasses and replied sternly, "No, I don't. Several of you guys have already brought me enough trouble with your misdemeanors, and I've received complaints from parents of both classes concerned about the way the school is currently being run…" Cross turned to me. "I just got off the phone with your father, Mina."
I flinched from the remark. Oh god...daddy called the school?! "H-he did?! What did he say?"
"He's upset that you're not returning his phone calls. He says that he's found an appealing noble and wants to arrange a meeting between you two," the chairman answered with a slight grin.
What the-?! -_-" Daddy just doesn't know when to give up. I turned to look at Riku. He didn't say anything as he looked to the side with his arms crossed and his lip pinched up.
"And he's also concerned with my reasons for keeping the Night Class with the absence of a pureblood," he added. "That's why I've also placed the prefects in your class to watch over everyone."
"You mean they're not vampires?" I asked, running his remark through my mind one more time.
The chairman paused a bit and then replied, "Of course not. They're just like you." He smiled at me.
"(sigh) Anyways, isn't it nice to have some new students for a change? They're eager learners too. And you'd be surprised by how similar and different they are to you guys."
I noticed how the chairman emphasized the word 'different'.
"So, if that's all the questions that you have, I suggest that you two get to class now."
He walked back to his desk, sat down, and began looking over the paperwork before him.
"Come on," I said, tugging at Riku's sleeve.
I walked right behind him and was about to close the door until the chairman called, "Mina."
I turned around.
"It would be great if you would welcome the newcomers and sort of get them comfortable with the campus."
I flinched. "What?…Um, me?..." Why would he ask me to do something like that?
"Please?" he begged.
I really wanted to deny his request, but for some reason what came out of my mouth was the exact opposite.
"Alright," I replied.
Alright?! What was I thinking?! Why in God's name did I even agree to do this?! I kept banging my head on the top of my desk.
"Are you okay, Mina?" Kira sat in the chair next to me as the teacher walked into the classroom.
"Does it look like I'm okay?" I replied sarcastically.
"Well, I copied down the notes that you missed in history class this evening. We started on a new unit. It's about werewolves, and it's actually quite interesting."
"They're dead. Why would they be interesting?" I said, not bothering to lift my head up.
"Oh come on, they're like shape-shifters."
"You mean were."
"(sigh) You know, you're so hard to entertain sometimes."
After I got over my whining, I relayed to her what happened this evening.
"I just can't believe the chairman wants me to do this. I mean, there're so many other students he could've asked. Does he really think I'm that sociable?"
"Oh come on. We all know that the reason he asked you to be nice was because you're his second favorite student, and since Yuki left, you were booted up to number one."
She smirked to herself.
"Sometimes I just wish that the myths are true, that I can just walk outside and burn myself under the sun."
I began to slide down my chair.
"Oh, stop being so dramatic…" she said, rolling her eyes.
The bell rang. The two of us walked out of the classroom and prepared to go to our separate classes.
"Since you already said okay, you should get started next period. One of them is bound to be in your class," suggested Kira.
"Yeah, I guess so," I replied, sulking my shoulders.
I walked into the class and didn't see any new students. I took my seat in the middle. Reaching for Kira's notes, I noticed an unfamiliar face pop into the room. It was the prefect that pushed Riku. Man, he's actually 'really' cute!
He walked up the stairs to the very back row, sat down and started reading. He had short, black hair and crystal blue eyes. He had broad shoulders, and though he was wearing a jacket, it was obvious that he was well built and firm. What am I doing?! It's only been his first day of school and I'm already checking him out! This has never happened before. It's usually the other way around.
I quickly turned back around and started to read the first line of Kira's notes to stop looking at him.
"The vampire's greatest enemy was the werewolf. These beasts were swift, powerful, and perceptive, but were also savage and easily enraged."
After reading over the notes twice, I finally set them down and turned around again. He was just sitting there, casually, like he had been attending this school for years.
Well, I guess I should go and introduce myself. I got up and carefully approached him. I didn't know why, but for some reason, this weird feeling shot up my spine as I moved closer to him.
He didn't even look up at me when I stood right in front of him. I waited a little for him to take notice, but he didn't budge. Then I bent my head towards him and taking a deep breath I said courteously, "Uh, hi. You're one of the new students right? I'm Mina."
He looked up at me, his beautiful blue eyes meeting my hazelnut ones and then replied in a cold manner, "Do you always bother people when they're busy?"
What the hell did he just say to me?!
Before I could reply, the bell rang, and I watched him walk out the room, my mouth ajar from his response.
"Jerk," I said under my breath as I got my stuff and left for dinner.
I walked into the dinner hall and spotted Kira telling the chef what she wanted to eat. Taking a plate, I went over her.
"So did you meet anybody interesting?" she asked as I stood next to her.
"What would you like miss?" asked the chef.
"Um, some pasta would be nice, not too much basil leaves though. Thank you," I replied. Then I turned to Kira and answered, "Yes, the greatest asshole in this godforsaken shithole." Just to let you know, I usually don't talk like this.
"Ah, it went that bad, huh?"
"All I did was go up to him and introduce myself. Then he said, 'Do you always bother people when they're busy?'…What the -"I restrained myself from finishing that sentence.
Kira started laughing hysterically.
"What's so funny?!" I could not understand this woman. "Am I humoring you?"
"Yes, you are – very much actually..."
The two of us took our food and sat at a nearby table.
"So what's the next move?" asked Kira taking a bite of her sushi.
"What?" I asked, calming down as I took a bite of my pasta.
"What are you gonna do next about the guy? I mean, you're going to see him again tomorrow."
"Nothing. I already did what the chairman asked of me."
"Mina, are you serious? He totally gave you the cold shoulder today. Come on, have some fun with this opportunity. Besides, the chairman told you to make them comfortable and I don't think what happened today made either of you two comfortable."
She was giving me one of her mischievous looks. She definitely had something planned, and all she was doing now was waiting for me to ask her about it.
I finally said, "Well... Do you have something in mind?"
She made an evil laugh, "Muahahaha…Of course I do!" She leaned over closer to me as if she was telling me a secret.
"Obviously he doesn't want to talk to you, right?"
"Yeah…"
"Then make him talk to you! Force the words out of his mouth! Get all up in his face, like this!"
"But isn't that being a little─"
"Aggressive?! Demanding?! Exactly!"
Kira was getting extremely worked up and excited. She was nearly on top of the table, making me slide deeper into my seat.
"I thought you said that I had to make him 'comfortable'. Won't this make him feel worse?" I asked, gently pushing her down.
"But it'll be fun."
I did not understand this women's reasonings at all...She confuses me so many times :S
Riku and the others finally arrived at the table. Kira and I decided to drop the subject for now, so we ate our food and chatted with our friends.

The next evening, I walked up to the window, peeking out from the curtains. The sun had set. It was almost time for class. Looking in the mirror, already dressed in my uniform, I took a deep breath. This is it. Gotta be aggressive…aggressive.
The dorm gates opened. The prefects were already in position, spread out among the Day Class.
Throughout the day, I kept thinking about what I was going to say to that jerk. Last period was next. I kept tapping my finger on the desk, getting a bit anxious. Finally, the bell rang. As I walked out of the door, Kira ran to my side and reminded me before running off to her class, "Be aggressive!"
I walked into the classroom and found him already sitting at the same desk. Get up in his face! I walked to where he was and placed my books down next to his. He flinched when I sat down next to him. I didn't even say anything and started doing my homework. What am I doing? Why am I not talking?
He looked at me completely dumbfounded.
"Uh…what are you doing?" he asked.
"Doing my homework," I answered, casually.
He looked around the classroom.
"I know I'm new and all but you don't have to be so nice and everything. There are plenty of other seats in the room. You don't have─"
"I know I don't have to," I interrupted. I turned to him and then said, "Look, I promised the chairman that I'd be a good old sport and make you guys feel at home. You may not know, but when I make a promise, I always see it through."
Whoa! What just happened to me? When did I ever get the courage to say something so straight forward like that? Seeing that nothing he said would convince me otherwise, he decided to continue his reading and let me be. I looked up at him a few times during my work. His eyes never left the pages, and his face was always emotionless.
"If you want to say something to me, then just say it," he said suddenly still keeping his eyes on the words.
I winced a bit from his sudden comment. After writing several more words, I placed my pen down.
"You haven't even told me your name."
His stellar blue eyes suddenly looked up at me. There's something different about his eyes. There's like a ring of silver around the black...I've never seen it in vampires before. Then he said apathetically, "I'm Kai."
"Kai," I repeated to myself. "Is that short for something?
His eyes were back on the pages and he answered, "No."
This guy really doesn't seem very friendly...
I was relieved that I didn't really have to use Kira's plan of force to talk to him and make him say something. For the rest of the period, I tried to start conversations, but they never lasted more than three sentences. He usually replied with vague answers or avoided the questions completely.
When class ended, Kai was the first to grab his stuff and head out. Was our conversation that awful? -_-" Hey, at least I tried, right?
I made my way down the hall and to dinner. Kira was already sitting at the table with Riku and everyone else. I brought my lunch over and sat down with them. She nudged my arm.
"Sooo?…how'd it go?"
"Well…he talked."
"A lot or a little?" she asked curiously.
All I had to do was look at her and she knew.
"Oh…" She placed her chin in her hands. "Man, he's gonna be one hard egg to crack."
"Yup…" I agreed, putting a blood tablet in the glass cup and taking a sip. And I'm determined to crack him...
I know, nothing much happened. But I'm still thinking if I should continue. If you have any opinions, just let me know.
