Chapter 1

Moonlight shines down on the grounds of Cross Academy; uninterrupted by clouds as a dark figure makes its way along the main walkway.

A strong wind blows her long, red hair into Akemi’s face and she tucks the stray strands behind her ear and sighs softly. She silently wonders what kind of troublesome mischief her brother had managed to land himself in this time.

Akemi is suddenly aware of another vampire close by; but too late. She barely has enough time to spin around before a large, dark mass tackles her to the ground.

After a moment or two of struggling, Akemi realizes the person pinning her to the ground and a soft growl escapes her throat involuntarily.

“Jirou!” she hisses as her brother laughs.

That laughter proved to be a great distraction to Jirou and Akemi used that to her advantage. In a split-second, she had rolled them both so she was now pinning Jirou to the ground.

“So, brother, would you like to explain to me why I’ve been summoned here, again?”

“How would I know?” Jirou asked, sitting up.

Akemi allowed him to move and they both jumped to their feet in one graceful, fluid movement – wiping dust from their clothes.

“So you have no idea why Cross summoned me here this time?”

“None whatsoever. Why? Should I?”

“I just naturally assumed that you had gotten yourself into trouble, once again,”

“Not this time,”

“Honest?”

“Cross my heart and hope to die,”

Akemi was speechless. She had automatically assumed, when Chairman Cross had called her and asked her to come right away, that Jirou was causing trouble again. Now that she knew that was not the case, she really had no clue as to what Cross could possibly want from her.

“Let me guess,” Jirou whispers quietly; his tone thick with hurt, “You only came because you thought you had to take care of me,”

Akemi was still at a loss for words. It was true – she had only come here because she believed that she had to clean up Jirou’s mess yet again, but she didn’t want to admit it. Jirou may only be her half brother, and he drove her up the wall constantly; that didn’t change the fact that she still cared for him very much.

She was saved from answering her brother’s hurt comment by the appearance of the Dorm Leader of the Night Class – Kaname Kuran – closely followed by two other vampires. The first thing Akemi couldn’t help but notice was the fact that the boy standing just to the left of Kuran was indeed a Level-E, though she could only tell by using her extremely sensitive pureblood senses. His eyes were a pure amethyst in color and they were filled with anger and hatred as they fixed on Kuran’s back.

Her first thought was that Kuran had finally dropped so low as to keep an ex-human slave, but those thoughts were quickly silenced as the boy’s stare and tense body language said otherwise.

“Akemi Michi, if I’m not mistaken,” Kaname was addressing her, and Akemi was suddenly yanked from her thoughts.

“Yes. Kuran-san, it has been a very long time,” she allowed him to politely take her hand and kiss the back of it.

“Too long, Akemi-san,” he looked to Jirou who was standing very awkwardly out of the way – trying not to be noticed. “And may I ask why you are roaming the ground when you should be in class? Do I need to remind you of our dorm’s rules, Michi-kun?”

“No, Kaname-sama, I apologize. It will not happen again,” he bowed swiftly and turned to leave, but Akemi caught his wrist and pulled him into a tight hug.

“I’m sorry, Jirou,” she whispered.

Jirou flushed ever so slightly, but returned the hug and murmured back a quick “it’s alright” before pulling from his sister’s embrace and exiting the scene quickly.

Kaname and his two companions had watched in silence; allowing the two siblings a moment. But Kaname was getting impatience. Akemi had been summoned here for a reason, and the pureblood wished to start as soon as possible.

He turned to the people standing behind him, “Seiren, Kiryuu-kun, you may leave now. I’m take care of things from here,”

“The girl – Seiren – inclined her head slightly in her master’s direction, then was gone in a flash. Kiryuu, however, remained unmoving, his frown deepening.

“This is as much my business as yours, Kuran. You think I don’t know why she is here? I’m not leaving,”

Akemi watched wide-eyed. She had never heard a Level-E speak to a higher ranking vampire like that, especially a pureblood of all vampires. She had never heard of any lower rank vampire speaking to a pureblood in that manner, let alone the Pureblood Prince himself.

However, Kaname seemed used to the aggressive behavior and tone as he simple said; “I realize that you aren’t an idiot, Kiryuu-kun. However, you have other duties to attend to. Have you so easily forgotten the duties of a prefect?” he held out his arm to Akemi, showing no intention of listening to anything the ex-human was about to say. “Shall we?”

Akemi nodded – still in shock – and linked her arm with Kaname’s. Together the two purebloods made their way toward the large front doors of the Academy; leaving a fuming Kiryuu behind.
