Hey there readers! I'm so sorry that this story has been edited so many times. This is what happens whenI have a 'eureka' moment. It doesn't akways come out perfectly. *fails at life* So anyway, I had to re-edit this because of the birthday. Yes the birthday of my Darling Koneko. ;-; It was far too close to Valentine's day, and I wanted her to have a little surprise on that special day.

So yeah...I hope you all enjoy.

"Surely you could add another few members to the Disciplinary Committee. This girl here is completely useless."

"Hey! I'm not the one who shows up late, or better yet, not at all!"

"That's enough you two~"

The two that stood in front of Headmaster Cross' desk were far too busy arguing to hear the Headmaster's pleas.

"Please...even if I was there, things would still be the same. Stupid Day class girls going on and on, 'kya kya kya' all day long. I'm still surprised you don't do it."

"I will not take lip from someone who's late all the time!"

"Well as it so happens..." The headmaster began, clearing his throat to stop the two from fighting any longer. Both heads turned towards the dirty blond male sat in the chair, occasionally taking a sip from his tea. "I have arranged for a new student to arrive tonight. She, like Zero, was born into a Vampire Hunter family." He continued, pushing up his glasses slightly. "Her name is Koneko, and she will be a part of the Disciplinary Committee with the two of you." He grinned happily, watching the two student's reactions.

First there was Yuuki, a young female Day Class student with shoulder-length brown hair and brown eyes. She looked to her 'father' with a surprised gaze. Usually when Zero asked for more members for the committee, it was always 'no' or 'that's impossible'. Now she knew something was up with Headmaster Cross.

Then there was Zero, another Day Class student with silver hair and pale pink eyes. He had a more sombre gaze towards the Headmaster, though he was thinking the exact same thing as Yuuki.

Kaien just relaxed into his chair. "She will be arriving at the gates within the hour, so I suggest you go meet her there, get her used to the area, and then begin your duties. It may be wise to speak to her about the way things work here also." He looked at them both with a serious gaze. His cup now settled on the table, he laced his fingers together to rest his chin on them, his elbows propped on the desk. "Her details are in the drawer if you'd like to read up on her beforehand. I think you might be interested...Zero." He opened the drawer and slid the file across the desk to Zero, who had instantly caught it and slid in into his uniform pocket. Of course, Yuuki tried to sneak a peek and failed miserably, earning Zero a famous Yuuki Pout.

Zero's eyes rolled as he left the room. "I'm leaving..." He said simply, closing the door with a harsh slam, leaving the Cross Family to speak alone.

"So who exactly is this girl...Father?" Yuuki asked, trying to lighten up her adoptive father's mood by accepting him as her dad. With a smile, Kaien motioned his hand in a shooing manner.

"You'll learn in time, my dearest daughter. For now you should go patrolling the grounds. Let Zero handle our new arrival. I think it may do him good to meet a fellow Vampire Hunter." He chuckled, watching Yuuki bow her head and walk out of the room. "Hm...Maybe things might calm down with a newer student." He mumbled to himself as a small smirk appeared across his lips.

Zero had been walking down the corridors of the School, his eyes wandering over the papers he had locked in his grip.

Name: Yoru

Forename: Koneko

Date of Birth: March 27

Age: 17

It even had a picture of the girl within its contents, as well as letters from the girl's parents to Chairman Cross. She was a rather pale girl, though not as pale as him, with wild, white-blonde hair and a pair of blocker shades over her eyes. She's definitely aYoru,Zero thought. He may not have known the Yoru family personally, but his father did say great things about them, that they were meant to be respected. His father…God how he missed his tried to get his mind off of it, shaking the thoughts from his head as he continued on. 'Where is Yuuki?' He thought to himself. 'She should have caught up to me by now...Oh well, time to greet this new girl. He sighed, making his way to the front gates of Cross Academy.

The sun's bright rays shone meaninglessly across the horizon, making its way beneath the ground in order to rest its fiery gaze. By now it was reaching late afternoon, between three and four o'clock. The trees caught the light wind, allowing the leaves to rustle between their branches. A large carriage pulled up at the gates of Cross Academy, containing the new arrival to the school. Her eyes gazed out behind a pair of blocker glasses of the window to see the rusted and ivy-coated iron gates. Strange for someone to be wearing shades during the evening of a setting sun. She waited for her driver to open the door, bowing his head as she stepped out onto the dirt trail.

"Thank you…" She mumbled, grabbing the case from the back of the carriage. She was usually one to travel light, but knowing that she was now going to live here meant that she needed a little more than just the clothes she stood up in. Although she had a rather large case, it was pretty light. There were a collection of clothes, as well as all of her more…necessary belongings, and her violin and sheet music.

Once her belongings were held tightly in her grasp, the carriage driver stepped back onto the front of the carriage and made his way back towards the town, leaving the girl alone. 'I wonder why Kaien Cross wanted me here…' She thought to herself, a small frown on her face. She had heard many great things about Cross Academy; that the students there were always well behaved, many school inspectors said for it to be outstanding, with not a single flaw in the curriculum, building or students. However, there was always that one flaw that was impossible for her to overlook - Cross Academy harboured vampires.

Zero had managed to bring himself towards the gates. It had been a long time since he saw the boundaries of the school. The acres of land the school owned was phenomenal in comparison to any others he had seen. That was to be expected from a boarding school anyway.

Still, he was very grateful for a new arrival. It would definitely help with the Day Class rioting over the Night Class. "Che…What a waste…" He mumbled. He had a driving passionate hate for the Night Class. All of them exceptionally beautiful and aristocratic, it knocked him sick. Not to mention that they were blood-thirsty creatures of the night that appeared to become drunk with the very scent of the crimson liquid. Vampires. He was extremely thankful that the new arrival was not a vampire, but another Vampire Hunter. Maybe now the Day Class would be more respectful with a Vampire hater on their suddenly found himself by the large gates, opening them in order for the guest to enter. As he noticed, that pale blonde hair entirely similar to the photo of her file. However he could not see her eyes. Due to the fact she was wearing sunglasses in late afternoon, it struck him as odd. Though he did not delve into any unnecessary conversation.

"Yoru…Koneko?" He inquired, an eyebrow raised towards her. She only glanced at him and nodded her head.

"That's right." She purred softly, her voice almost sickeningly sweet. She had a small hint of an accent, seemingly British, or sounding close to that. It, like the sunglasses, struck Zero as odd. He could now agree that the girl was extremely odd and intriguing. He walked forward, grabbing the case by the handle while she held another smaller bag in her hands.

"The Headmaster wishes to see you." The albino stated coldly, not wanting to make any more words come from his mouth. And with that the two walked towards the large building. All the while, Zero had been watching the female beside him. His usual blunt gaze studied the newcomer as her long blonde hair danced with the February wind against her pale skin. She wasn't looking at him; instead she was more fixated on the cobblestone road. He examined her with a subtle gaze, still unable to see her eyes. Was she hiding them? If so, why?

"Ahh~ Hello there, little Koneko-chan!" A sweet, yet masculine voice chimed gleefully, as Kaien Cross wrapped his arms around the young teen. A slender brow rose on Koneko's face as she gazed down towards the elder male.

"Uhm…Forgive me, but I would like it if you didn't touch me as if you're a close friend." She stated coldly, not an ounce of feeling within her words. Since she was alone with the Headmaster, due to Zero leaving for his last class of the day, Koneko was easily able to be herself, a cold Yoru clan member with no need for human emotions. Her father had told her that when she was around Kaien Cross, there would be no need to wear the mask of a typical hormonal teenager, but the mind and maturity of a Yoru. Kaien couldn't help but smile at that. It would be nice to have someone with a good head on their shoulders working in the Disciplinary Committee, not that his beloved Yuuki didn't, or Zero for that matter. It just seemed that Koneko would be classed as a good leader for the pair of them.

"Ah yes, of course, Koneko-chan."

"Nor would I like 'chan' at the end of my name. Just Koneko will do, Kaien-san." She mumbled, raising a blonde brow. With that the Headmaster withdrew himself from her to retreat back to his seat. His fingers laced together as he rested his head on them.

"Well then…Koneko, as you know, you will be a part of Cross Academy's Day Class along with the other members of the Disciplinary Committee, Kiryuu Zero and my beloved daughter, Yuuki." He swooned over his so-called daughter, hearts in his eyes. If Koneko didn't know any better, she would say it was more than just a family love. Her face remained stoic as she nodded.

"I believe Kiryuu Zero had brought me here before attending to his classes?" She inquired, earning a nod from the Chairman.

"You will meet Yuuki later when you've changed in your dorm room. At 5pm, she will come for you to start your dull time duties as a Guardian of Cross Academy." He grinned behind his mass of just didn't add up in the male's words. Only three members? Why so little?

"Before that…I have a few questions. As in, why is the Disciplinary Committee made of three, was two, members?" She asked. Her curiosity was what made her so great at hunting Vampires. It was what helped her to gain information.

"Ah…A sharp mind, as always for a Yoru." Kaien's face turned serious after the question, and he pushed his glasses up his nose slightly. He stood from his chair, turning to gaze out of the window. "I guess you are also curious as to why you specifically were requested here, too." He cast his glance to her reflection in the glass, watching her nod her head once. "I thought so…" He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Well, if you must know, Cross Academy is split into two classes, as you know. The Day Class and the Night Class. The Night Class…as you can tell from the name, only attend classes at night. That is because…they are vampires." He finished, watching her every move.

At first, she remained still, almost like a piece of string was keeping her upright in front of him. Over time, her lip began to curl into a snarl, hands clenching into fists, a certain arrogance growing in her eyes. "Now now, my dear. I have not brought you here to kill these vampires. We all hope to create peace between human and vampires." He turned back to her with a small smile. "I had hoped that being born into such a well known clan as the Yoru Vampire Hunters, there won't be much trouble around."

"Are you saying there is trouble in the Night Class?" She asked. It did actually sound like he was saying that from the way he was talking and acting.

"Oh no no…It's quite the opposite. It's actually the Day Class that cause trouble for the Night Class. Our dear vampires at this school are extremely beautiful and captured the hearts of all the precious Day Class too. It's gotten so bad that the Day Class wait for the Night Class to leave their dorms to attend class, and simply fawn over them. Without the Disciplinary Committee, my poor vampires would be trampled by their fans." The male was starting to annoy her with his exaggerations and flamboyancy. It was truly pitiful to see a grown man acting like such a child.

Koneko sweatdropped. So this was why I was summoned here? To be a bodyguard for damn vampires?

"So who are you giving yours to?"

"Kaname…"

A trio of girls squealed at the front of the classroom, giggling away at who they would give their homemade chocolates to. Tomorrow was St. Valentine's Day, and all the Day Class girls were conversing on who in the Night Class they would give their chocolates to. It was quite tragic really, for none of the Night Class would return such obsessive affections. It seemed that the only one who wouldn't be giving any chocolates was Wakaba Sayori, or Yori as she liked to be called. Tedious. That was what she thought of the day. She believed there to be no point in it, only to make a fool of yourself. It didn't surprise her though, when she noticed a chocolate recipe beside her, in front of her dorm-mate.

"So Yuuki-chan…I heard that a new student would be arriving today." Yori mumbled, loud enough for the girl beside her to here. Yuuki looked up from her recipe with a confused look.

"How did you find that out?" She asked, slightly worried that the girl was eavesdropping on the secret conversations.

"I heard Zero-san mumbling something about a new student. You know he really does talk to himself a lot lately." She whispered, making sure said male didn't here. Yuuki sweatdropped, her head hung low. Curse that Zero! She thought sadistically. It was supposed to be a secret until tonight. She sighed, rubbing the back of her head nervously.

"Ah yes! Well, she was requested by the Headmaster in order to help us with the Disciplinary Committee. Zero-kun and I both agreed that we need another pair of hands. We would have used someone in the Day Class, but Headmaster would have thought it too much of a change in their routine." Well…it has half truth. Honestly she knew they would never have any of the Day Class being a part of their Guardian duties. It would have been far too risky, as the truth of the Night Class could easily be leaked out. That wasn't something anyone would bell rang for the end of class, and Yuuki stretched exaggeratingly, a big wide smile on her face.

"Well~ Time to go get the new girl!" She chimed, standing up from her seat. "I'll see you later Yori-chan." She grinned, waving towards her roommate before bounding out the door and out onto the bustling hallway. Yuuki knew that most of the Day Class would be at the Moon Dorm before she arrived, but she couldn't do anything about it. Maybe if Zero would show up on time, things wouldn't be a problem. And then maybe they wouldn't have needed another member. Not that she didn't like the thought of a new face around; it would definitely be a change of pace for everyone.

Gathering her thoughts and putting them away in a little box in the corner of her mind, she wandered into the Dorms, finding her way around until she got to the room that the new girl was staying in. According to what Head- I mean, her father said, she would be in the room with the window facing the Moon Dorms, in case of…emergencies. Since that was the only room to do that, many of the Day Class girls would do anything to get their hands on it. Thankfully, a vampire hunter would now be taking that place.

With a small exhale, Yuuki knocked at the door.
