The return to Cross Academy

Chapter 1: The awaited arrival of Zero

Kaname glanced at the clock. Not long to go before he and Zero Kiryu will meet again. Kaname turned back his attention to the chess board and picked up the knight staring intently at the piece smirking.

How will it feel Zero to realise once again you are a pawn within this little game of mine? You will play the role that has always been yours. The knight, whose job is to protect my sweet innocent sister Yuuki. You will never betray her even after discovering who and what she is, a creature that you despise with your very being. That's why this job is yours.

Kaname was looking forward to meeting the hunter again. He had sort of missed the boy. Not his personality per say, but rather because he was such a delightfully entertaining pawn. He could not wait for the game to begin and he would strike first. Kaname closed his eyes, eyebrows suddenly furrowing in irritation. He had tried to ignore the presence hovering outside his door, hoping that the vampire outside would get the message and leave him be. It was beginning to grate on his nerves. The presence was nervous and Kaname could taste the fear rolling off him.

"You may enter Aidou." Kaname commanded authoritatively.

Aidou walked in with his hands clenched tightly by his side, face glistening with perspiration as he bowed.

"Kaname- sama is... is it true about Kiryu returning to the academy?" Aido asked hesitantly as he stood up to his full length to stare at the brown haired pureblood.

"Yes it is and I shall not to be questioned to why he is here, Aidou. Do you understand me?" Kaname hissed, eyes flashing crimson.

Aidou gulped as his whole form shook in fear. Kaname smirked inwardly. He found the noble to be so amusing for his badly hidden crush and because he easily scared.

"But K-K-K-aname-sama where is … he go-o-ing to stay, this is a school and he would never agree to s-s-stay within the n-n-n-ight class" Aidou stuttered his whole form trembling.

"He will stay within the moon dorms. I have prepared a room for him next door to mine. Kiryuu would not even be able to refuse even if he wanted to. Since it's an order issued within the contract." Kaname answered coldly his jaw resting against the palm of his hands. Kaname sighed inwardely as he could still seeing the hesitation and doubt within the ice blue eyes."Do not worry Aidou. Zero Kiryu is not the same boy any more. He still hates vampires but he has worked for a few high ranked nobles. He is indifferent and doesn't act upon his hatred to kill every vampire within sight. When issued assignments from the Hunter Association for high ranked nobles, he completes his missions to his best of ability. Even with simple courtesy for the vampires that hire him. For example, he will call me 'Kuran-sama' when speaking to me."

"I apologise Kaname sama for questioning you. Please forgive me of my foolishness." the blond vampire said remorsefully.

Kaname waved his hand in silent dismissal and glanced at the clock on the wall and stands. Its time Zero Kiryu to meet again after five years.
