The icy wind blew against his tall strong figure as he leant across the long broken fence stretching down the edge of the woods. His silver hair laced with snowflakes as the storm picked up speed. Yet he barely noticed. He didn’t even flinch.
“Zero!!” A voice should across the field. He didn’t move. “ZERO!!” The voice repeated.
Closing his eyes, he released a sigh, before he turned to face a man with a ponytail running up to where he stood. Of course; the headmaster.
“Zero!” Headmaster of Cross Academy came up next to him panting. “Come on Zero, the students are back from their break…” He says. “As the prefect, you need to help round them all up…”
“Their memories have been wiped?” Zero asked in a low voice. The headmaster turned serious and nodded.
“All except Yori. Kaname was kind enough to take care of that before…” He glanced at him sympathetically. “Before he left with Yuki and the others…”
Zero’s face was emotionless. “Is there really still a need for me as prefect? Why not choose two others?”
The headmaster sighed. “Zero…you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to. However, I cannot simply choose two others as we are not in a position to disclose the Vampire society to others unless absolutely necessary.”
Slipping his hands into his pockets, Zero gave a nod. “Let’s just go.” He conceded.
Slipping back into a fun-loving mood, the headmaster nodded eagerly. “I made dinner for you tonight, my son…!”
“I’m not you son!” Zero threw back, walking ahead.
“God bless you Zero…” The headmaster said in a low voice, trailing after the Vampire Hunter Zero. “You deserve much more than I can give you, my son…”
-----------------------
Things had changed since the incident. It had only been two weeks now, but already Zero felt his training had escalated dramatically as the headmaster Kaien and Zero’s teacher, the hunter Yagari realised the extent of Zero’s new abilities and the heights he could achieve with them. The new leaders of the Hunter’s Association seemed just as interested in the Vampire Vampire-hunter with the blood of three purebloods coursing through his veins, and the stronger of twins born to a hunter’s family, not to mention the very nature he was acquainted with his powers. Being a prefect at the Cross Academy, although a privilege, seemed a bit pathetic for such a hunter. But he continued, knowing full well the potential the school had for causing…disturbances. But without Yuki...he shook his head. She died. Kaname and Yuki Kuran killed her. Yet he still dreamt of her endlessly. Why wouldn’t she just leave him alone??
“Zero!” Girly voices came loudly. “Zero!!”
Gritting his teeth, he stared at the gates. Another downfall to being a vampire, the aura seemed to have an effect on most humans…which made his job the more difficult. His glares were just as deadly, and the girls did back away a little—but only for a short time.
The gates opened, there was a moment of pause, and then the vampires…the night class, walked out. Without Kaname, the dorm president position was vacant, and no one had taken the spot. The number of students in the night class had significantly decreased, much to Zero’s joy. However now, the girls spent much of the time fawning over him, which made his task…problematic. It was strange though, how with the absence of Yuki from his life, his focus fell so dramatically on his hunting skills and his hate of vampires, if possible, increased. Nothing else interested him, nothing else mattered. He kept excelling at academics, and smiled as frequently as he had since his parents passing – close to never.
As the day classes resumed, he got back to his usual spot and sat working through his Math book. Algebra. He found himself in flashback to when he’d tutor Yuki; she was terrible with Math…and English, and Science, History, Art and…well, at school. His grip tightened around his pencil. The purebloods played him for a fool. They killed her. No…his Yuki never really existed. Looking up from his book he once again noticed the girls looking up at him; tiresome. Only Yori focussed only on the teacher, she was…and probably still is, Yuki’s best friend. The door opened, in stepped the headmaster. After exchanging a few words with the teacher, the teacher gestured at Zero to come down. Quietly setting aside his books, he strode down the steps to join the headmaster outside.
“Zero, I’m sure you’re aware our night-class numbers falling, not to mention a breakdown of structure and discipline since…the incident.”
Zero nodded. “I guess. The less vampires the better if you’d ask me. But the day-class students are getting harder to manage. That’s why I asked you to select two new prefects…”
“Well…” The headmaster sighed. “I have a student transferring to fill in the vacant prefect position. But I’ve also invited Lady Miena to take position as night-class Dorm President.”
“And she is…?”
Another sigh. “A pureblood I think will rebuild the night-class structure and keep them in check.”
“Or perhaps that will inevitably reiterate the saga we’ve already been through. How do you know she won’t just use you like Kaname did??”
Headmaster Kaien stopped short. “Kaname did not use us. He had his reasons as does she. Besides, you know as well as I do that despite you’re dedication, the night-class are restless without a dorm president to keep them in line.”
“But why do you insist on bringing those scheming purebloods for the position?! Haven’t you learnt your lesson?”
Kaien gave a tired look. “She’ll be arriving tomorrow afternoon. And the other prefect will be arriving tonight. Be ready.” He says, tuning to walk away. Zero clenched his jaw – how could he?!
“Are you sure this is the right place?” Keisha asked reaching for the knocker.
“It should be. You’re a Vinn, Kiki, you tell me. Are there any vampires here?” The man smiled.
Keisha stuck her tongue out and knocked on the door. “Just because they’re here, doesn’t make this Cross Academy.” She countered.
The door opened and she turned to stop short. A tall man with silver hair stood before her. He was wearing loose top and pants, and looked as if he just woke up. A strange cross tattoo at the base of his neck caught her attention. Was this the other boy? Zero Kiryu? He smelt like a vampire…sort of. Not really a ‘vampire’ but…
“What?” He asked. He voice was pleasantly deep but a bit drowsy; probably from the sleep. Deciding to get introductions over, she struck out her hand.
“I’m Keisha Vinn. Does Kaien Cross live here?” She asked smiling.
He frowned, ignoring her hand, and gestured her inside. Stepping inside feeling a bit irritated, Keisha walked into the house. What an absolute jerk! Her brother followed her in and soon Kaien walked out of what seemed to be the kitchen. Keisha pushed back a laugh; he was wearing a bright pink apron with white bunnies and flowers edging it and holding large wooden spoon dripping with syrup of some sort. The Legendary Vampire Hunter, Kaien Cross – one of her father’s best friends, and probably the funniest man she knew.
“Keisha!! My little Keisha!” He exclaims tossing away the spoon into the air to envelope her in a hug. Laughing quietly, she strategically manured out of his grip.
“It’s great to see you too uncle.” She smiled.
“You’re related?” Zero asked, stepping forward. Still feeling the sting to his cold reception, she decided to ignore him.
“Oh not really. He’s a friend of our dad’s. Keisha just goes about building relations to everyone.” Her brother laughed.
“Shut up Arrau.” She said giving him a look. Turning back to Kaien, she smiled again. “So…father admitted us here as you wished; but I think you wanted to talk to me personally as well? Is something the matter?”
“Nothing too serious!” Kaien grinned waving it off. “How about you have dinner, and stay here for the night. We’ll set you up for somewhere to stay tomorrow?”
“Sure thing.” Keisha smiled. “Could I just use the bathroom first quickly?”
“Of course.” Kaien smiled. “Zero!”
Zero turned down the hall wordlessly, supposedly heading to the bathroom, so Keisha followed close behind, slightly annoyed how she had to move faster to keep up with his strides.
“You’re very rude, you know that?” Keisha voiced. She had decided not to talk to him, but the silence was a bit awkward.
“And why do you say that?” He asked in a bored tone.
“You just are! Look at you!” She says. “You’ve been as cold as ice.”
He stopped abruptly and Keisha slammed into him and fell back.
“Whoa!” By his quick reflex, Zero took hold of her waist and back, before she fell to the floor and she instinctively threw her arms around his neck for support. “Whoa…” She repeated. Moments stretched out as she took in his gleaning features in the dim light.
“It’s right there.” He breathed.
“W-what?” She asked snapping out of some mild trance.
“The bathroom.” He says, lifting her back up to put her on her feet. “It’s right there.” She quickly stepped back out from him and turned to where he was looking. Sure enough, it looked like a bathroom.
“Uh…okay.” She nodded awkwardly. “Thanks…”
With a casual nod, he turned and walked past her. With a sigh, she stepped into the bathroom. “Yeah, you’re welcome Keisha…” She muttered sarcastically.

Brushing through her large closet, Yuki came to a stop in front of a black skirt and white top. It was her day-class uniform from when she went to Cross Academy, heck; she was there since it was first founded. Releasing a sigh, she brushed her hand over the uniform…she missed her human life. She wanted to go back. There was so much she wanted to change from the past. If only she had known back then, what she really was. What she would become. She hurt Zero, and he now rightfully hated her. He promised he would hunt her down and kill her one day.
“Yuki?” Kaname’s voice came from the door. As a human she would have probably jumped, but not as a pureblood. She turned slowly to face her fiancé, Kaname Kuran.
“Yes Kaname?” She answered smoothly.
“We await you at the dinner table, love. It seems Hanabusa is getting quite hungry.”
“I’ll be right down.” Yuki nods.
Kaname stepped forward to stand beside her. They stood staring at each other for a moment, emotions communicated simply through the eyes. A crimson red flashed in their eyes, Yuki however, turned away. Kaname placed his fingers lightly under her chin, to make her look back at him.
“Is something wrong?” He asked.
“No; everything is perfect Kaname.”
“I would hope so.” He says with a slight smile. “After all the time you had me waiting.”
Yuki’s eyes widened, but after closing her eyes, she nodded. “It is.”
“But something is bothering you Yuki, what is it?” He asked softly.
She sighed and walked back to sit down on the bed. “How do you think things are at the Academy?”
“If
