Hi. I just started using this site, so it'll take some time for me to get used to it, but I'll try and update regularly. ^_^

"Kyaaa!" Wild screams of the day girls started as the handsome Night Class members piled out at sunset; the usual routine, the air filling with shrieks of "Kuran-sempai!", "Idol-sempai!", "Wild Sempai!", and other endearments. The school prefect, Cross Yuuki darted forward, as usual, to block the fans from engulfing the Night class. Yuuki winced as the girls tried to push through her to them. Shoot, I failed to make them go back to their dorms before the Night Class came, Yuuki thought. These girls really are becoming a handful. Not that she couldn't understand their feelings. The Night class was comprised of extremely talented, and not to mention gorgeous people, after all, although the fact that they were all vampires was kept staunchly a secret. Yuuki looked around as she tried to stop the horde of fans. Just where is Zero? If he was late…

"Kya!" Yuuki cried out as the horde overwhelmed her like a bursting bubble, and she fell to the ground. Uh-oh. The girls ran, dispersing around the Night class, who stopped, waiting for the path to clear.

"Are you all right, Yuuki?" A voice rang out, and all eyes went to the speaker. There was not one student looking at another direction than that of Kuran Kaname, the Dorm leader of the Night class. He beckoned his hand to Yuuki, who blushed.

"Uh,...! Thank you, sempai." She said, quickly standing up. Kaname merely smiled. Yuuki blushed yet again, but this time said loudly to the Day class girls,

"Please return to your dorms! The time of curfew has already passed!" This warning was not to be met with obedience. Protests and complaints rang out.

"Why do we have to listen to you? Just because you're a prefect doesn't mean you have the right to boss us around!" A girl shouted, others agreeing.

"Because she's a prefect she has the right." Kiryuu Zero softly said in his menacing voice, causing the girl to freeze in fear. He scowled. "Now if you understand that, disappear!" The fans, as if being repelled, backed away. Yuuki saw her chance.

"I'm terribly sorry for the delay today; we have made you late for class." She apologized, as she made a way for the Night class to walk through.

"Not at all, Yuuki." Kaname said gently, leading the Night class out of the fray. Yuuki blushed yet again, bowing, as many glances came from the Night class. Most of them had looked bored during the fray, but since their leader showed interest to this human girl, there must be something about her. When they were out of sight, the crowd began to disperse, until Yuuki and Zero were left alone. Zero turned away.

"It's annoying." Zero spat. "Every single day, why do we have to act like bodyguards who protect them from paparazzi?"

"Zero," Yuuki said warningly. "You know, I don't think you have any right to talk, coming here late!" She punched him in the stomach. She needed to lighten the mood.

"What the-" Zero said, surprised. "I'll get you for this." Yuuki stuck out her tongue.

"Oh really?" She asked, teasing. "Then just try to! I'm off patrolling!" She called as she darted off in the direction of the Day class dorms.

Yuuki chuckled as she heard Zero's "OI!", then her expression turned serious. Really, Zero's been getting more and more on edge. She probably didn't have the faintest idea of the hate Zero harbored towards vampires, but was it something that was unquenchable? Can that hatred never disappear, or will it rankle Zero forever? Yuuki did not know the answer.

"-really, the Day Class girls are becoming a bit much," Ruka Souen, one of the prominent students of the Night Class, complained as she braided her long, chestnut hair during recess in an empty classroom. She looked at her friends and classmates for support. "Don't you think so?" They looked at her in surprise. Aidou Hanabusa, one of her childhood friends, spoke first.

"Well, I don't mind, as long as Kaname-sama doesn't mind," He said, then grinned. "And besides, it's fun, toying with their emotions. Their reactions are so predictable." His comment caused silence to linger after them until his cousin, Akatsuki Kain, broke it.

"… I don't mind either. We're to be above those kinds of things, Ruka." He said, leaning against the wall, then looked at his frivolous cousin. "But Hanabusa, I don't think Dorm Leader Kuran would be very pleased if you go about talking about the Day class girls as if they are your personal entertainers."

"Wha-" Aidou burst out, trying to correct himself. "That's not- I mean, I'm just bored, and-"

Ruka snickered. Rima and Shiki looked on, amused.

"Really, they suit you, Hanabusa," she interrupted, smiling. Aidou's mouth opened in irritation, and froze that way.

"Ah. Aidou-san, if you don't close your mouth a bug might go in…" Shiki Senri commented. Aidou covered his mouth quickly, much to Rima's amusement. When it quieted down again, Ruka tapped her finger on the desk she was sitting on, becoming pensive, and whispered, "But true, I suppose if Kaname-sama doesn't mind, I should endure it…" The atmosphere turned solemn again. Akatsuki looked at her thoughtfully, as Aidou fiddled with a book.

"Heeeey you guys!" The Vice-president, Ichijou Takuma called to them from the hallway cheerfully. "Recess is over, you know! You should head to your next classes!" They all looked up, and headed out the door.

"Just one more class. So tiring." Shiki mumbled as he followed.

"This is school, you know, Shiki." Ruka chided. Shiki ignored her, accidentally bumping into Rima. Shiki apologized reservedly, which Rima responded to by stepping on his toe. "And what are you talking about; we have four more classes before the end of the night, not one."

"And please don't skip, Shiki," Ichijou warned.

"Ah, Ichijou-san," Shiki said. "I'm not skipping. I have work."

"Oh yes, that's right. Rima, you also have work today, right?" Ichijou asked.

"It's scheduled later than Shiki's." Rima answered, still stepping on Shiki's toe.

"I think you've gotten your revenge already, you might want to stop before Shiki's toe becomes deformed." Ichijou chided, smiling.
