As Kaname looked out the windows of his room, he spotted Yuuki, walking by, fulfilling her responsibilities as a prefect by keeping night watch. She to him was a sweet, pure reminder of the beautiful things in life, and he intended on keeping her that way. He didn't want ever to taint her by having her remember her past, even if it meant his suffering. He was alone; he needed company… her company. Yet… even when he had Yuuki by his side, something was always missing. She was born to be his bride... that he knew, yet why did he feel a big emptiness in his heart? Either way, despite the confusion in his heart, he promised himself, and his loving parents Haruka and Juuri, that he would always protect her no matter what, and that one-day he would kill Kuran Rido, ridding the world of the pest that is Rido once and for all.

He turned away, and felt Yuuki's gaze on him… she was the only thing he knew now, and the only one he belonged to now. However, he couldn't ignore, that he didn't feel complete… not even with her…

Kaname slowly walked towards his desk, and opened its small drawer; there he kept a small golden locket that no one knew about. Not even, he knew why he had it, but somehow, he could not find it in himself to get rid of it. He opened the locket, and it began to play a soft sweet melody…

The melody feels nostalgic for some reason…

A deep sadness took over Kaname's heart and mind as the melody played, how he yearned to know why he cared so much for the locket, just what it meant to him… he felt tears form in his eyes… something that was rare for him… to cry…

"Too cruel… yet, it erases the loneliness in my heart…" He softly mumbles, closing the locket, and holding it in a tight grip. Two tears fell down his face… tears of blood…

"So, tell me my darling, what is your task at Cross Academy…?" He said in a conniving tone, walking around the girl's lifeless like body, who laid on the ground. Instead of responding, the girl cried, she had no way out of his clutches... no one could save her. One is suppose to be protected and loved most by their parents, but her parents were hungry for power, especially her father, who longed to strengthen their family's bloodline so badly, that he even gave up his only daughter to what she considered, a fate worse than death. The man grew impatient, roughly picking her up by her arm in a tight grasp, causing her to moan in pain.

"Guess I overdid it huh…?" He chuckled, forcefully wrapping his arm around her waist to keep her standing. He unveiled his other sleeve, biting his wrist, taking a sip of his blood. She panicked, knowing what he was about to do. Before she knew it, he pulled her into a bloody kiss. The kiss seemed to last an eternity to her, it was as if, he took her innocence once she felt the taste of his filthy blood in her mouth. It wasn't enough for him to take her blood without her wanting him to, he had to force his blood to her.

"Enjoyed it…?" He mumbled, grabbing her jaw to make her face him directly.

"I don't need to die to see what hell is like; all I need to do is look into your eyes for that"

One week later…

"So we will have a new night class student today…?" Ichijo asked Kaname as they walked to their class. Without looking at him, Kaname answers,

"Yes, she comes from the Sengoku family, I am sure you have heard of them Ichijo," Kaname asked rhetorically, pushing the door to the classroom open. Ichijo looked at Kaname with puzzled eyes, sitting down in his usual table in the front of the classroom, with Kaname sitting right next to him.

"I assume you know what you're doing Kaname…" Ichijo replied in a soft tone, Kaname nodded. Suddenly, Atasuki and Ruka walk into the classroom, with Hanabusa behind them.

"Kuran-Senpai… I saved some sweets for you…!" Hanabusa said gleefully, waving a bag of licorice, he held in his hand, as he barged in. As usual, Kaname ignored him, causing Hanabusa to pout in sadness.

"What is this ignore Hanabusa day…!" He shouted, roughly waving the bag of licorice in his hand. As Rima and Shiki walk into the classroom, Rima snatches the bag out of Hanabusa's hand. Angry, Hanabusa turns his gaze towards her,

"Those are for Kuran-Senpai…!" Hanabusa yelled, only for Rima to open the bag, and feed Shiki the licorice, ignoring Hanabusa's complaints.

"Don't tell me Hanabusa is still mad because that mortal ignored him again…?" Ichijo asked, smiling his usual gleeful smile. Ruka sighed, brushing her fingers through her silky light beige hair,

"No, this time she called him a giraffe…" Ruka replied, turning her gaze towards Kaname, who smirked evilly.

"I think she went pretty easy on him, if you ask me of course…" Kaname commented, much to Ichijo and Ruka's surprise. Ichijo felt shocked by the way, Kaname smirked, and why he smirked. The only mortal Kaname ever bothered to notice was Yuuki.

"Am I over thinking things? Yeah, I'm probably imagining things…!" Ichijo thought to himself.

Suddenly, everyone paused when they felt an unfamiliar presence among them.

"Good even night class, my name is Mayuri Sengoku" The new student announced in a rather blunt tone…

"You know you are causing a revolution here at Cross Academy right Minako-chan?" Her roommate Rose giggled as if a good joke had just been told. Minako rolled her eyes, continuing to play her game of solitaire on her bed.

"Yeah and… he had it coming didn't he…? Dumb giraffe," Minako replied bluntly, suddenly cheering in victory once she had placed the last card in her hand on a column of cards. Rose looked at the column of cards curiously, moving to Minako's bed,

"Minako, you do know that the patterns have to be different colors…? Not the same…" Rose asked, lost by the way her friend was playing solitaire.

"Well you didn't want to play, and I thought that by cheating I might spice up this game of solitaire…" Minako smiled, making Rose smile as well. Rose picks up a few cards from Minako's bed and throws them at her.

"You are too silly…" Rose laughed, "Hey… what was that for…!" Minako exclaimed, throwing the cards back at Rose. Rose ducks, missing the hit of the cards.

"Its no wonder why you caught Kuran-Sama's attention…" Rose commented. Minako raised an eyebrow, wondering why her friend mentioned him out of all the night class boys.
