"Where are we going onii-sama," said a brunette girl. In the eyes of humans she was very beautiful, and hair as long as her waist. She had very different eyes, like she was there, yet not. Like she knew everything that was hapenneing around her, but she also looked far away at some distant land or in the future.
"A place where we can live in peace, my darling," stated a tall brown haired man. He was very handsome, with graceful poses and movements. He was strong, and fast, like he knew everything that was going to happen before they should.

Ch. 1 The Beginning of the End.
(end of chapter 47)
Hanabusa Aido was standing in a room filled with people. They were all staring at him with determination.
"We do not want to lose our memories," stated a blonde with ponytails. "Everyone that doesn't want to forget this day please stand with me."
As all the humans stood up, Aido looked happy. He was sure that all of them were frightened to the point of a scared little mouse, but now he was glad that he was wrong.
"OK! Since you clearly have determination to see this through, I will answer all of your questions, on the note that NONE of you will repeat this on the outside. Understood?" said a clearly over joyed Aido.
Another blonde in the room who stood first asked a very daring question, "Is it true that... that.. Yuuki is a vampire?"
Some of the girls gasped, but Yori stared true at Aido.
*sigh*.. 'This is gonna be a hard day', thought Aido. "Yes she is, but she was human until this morning."
"What do you mean?" Yori looked puzzled.
"You know what this would be easier if we explained something else first," Stated the blonde vampire standing behind him.
"Waaaah, I told you not to do that!!!"
She didn't say anything back to him, instead she stared out at the day students in the room. "What do you know of vampires?"
The students just stared back with a vague look of confusion.
*sigh*... "Not much I presume," stated Aido, "then why don't we look at vampire society order."
He explains the Vampire Pyramid..... (If you don't know what that is... look it up)
"And at the very top are the vampires among vampires. the pinnacle of vampire power. The Pure Bloods."
"So how does a human get turned into an Ex-human vampire, and how dangerous are level Es," asked Yori.
Aido explains.....(bare with it people this is just setting the stage up)
"Ex-humans are created when a pure blood bites a human, and levels Es, as I have explained, are degenerated consciousness. They have no will, or have any thought other than bloodlust. They will not hesitate to kill you."
"So," asks a random student, "is yuuki an ex-human?"
"No."
"Then what do you mean that Yuuki was awakened this morning?"
Seiren answers, "Yuuki was a vampire by birth, but we do not know how she was turned into a human. All I know is that her blood was sealed."
Yori gets the courage up to ask, "What point on the pyramid are the night class?"
Aido figits a little and looks uncomfortable, "Most of the night class are made up of Noble vampires, including me and Serien."
"Most?" said the Day class dorm president.
"There is one exception in night class, and in day class there are 2 exceptions."
"What? What do you mean by 'in day class'?"
*sigh* "Lets start with, night class first. You may all know him as Kaname Kuran... He is a Pure Blood."
"Huh? but i thought you said there were only 3 pure bloods that you know of left," stated a very confused day student
"There is, next is the day class, you know both of them as... 'perfects'..."
"WHAT?" Said the entire crowd.
"Zero Kiryu is an ex-human vampire."
"Then explain the dark atmosphere around him all the time," said some very depressed looking girls.
"Before he was bitten and his family destroyed, He was a vampire hunter... does that explain it?"
Some of the girls in the crowd looked guilty then, "If only we knew," whispered one of them.
Yori then looked at Aido with questionable gaze, "Then is yuuki a normal vampire?"
"Guess again..."
Yori got wide eyed as she realized then answer. "Pure Blood." not as a question but more as a statement.
"Yes," he answered anyways, "Yuuki's true name is Kuran Yuuki."
"Why didn't she tell us?" said more than 5 students.
"To be honest I don't think she knew herself," Said Kain as he was walking in. "Yo Aido, Kaname wants to leave soon, are you coming?"
"Akatsuki Kain, how long have you been eves dropping," asked Aido. Looking back at a blonde vampire, who always had a look that he was bored out of his mind.
"Since the pyramid explanation..." stated Kain, still bored
Yori and the other students looked like they were still puzzling over the facts. The vampires started to leave, and Yori couldn't stop them. The world she knew was tumbled upside down, as her own friend was a very powerful vampire. She couldn't believe it, not at first, but over time she grew to except it. Yuuki was always strange, like she was always holding the world on her shoulders with a very dark secret. Now she knew why.
5 days later, all the day class students were sent home, the school grounds were in ruins and abandoned. The school headmaster, Kaien Cross, had shut down the school for rebuilding at a later date. The vampires had all but dissappeared.
Zero looked at the sky, inside the school grounds. He had known she was going to do it, that she was going to give him a reason to live on.
'But why,' he thought, 'why did she make me make her my enemy?'
He couldn't stand it, so he went inside the one building that survived the entire time. The old building that had served as the vampires temporary dorm. He didn't have any reason to go any farther, he needed to rest after what his own gun had down to him.
Unknowingly to almost everyone, one student stayed behind. She was wearing a black Day Student uniform, with blonde hair, and sad eyes. She had to find her friend who had disappeared 5 days ago, along with the other vampires.
'Pure Blood,' she thought. 'I wonder what pain she has to go through, to hide such things, to hide from the world.'
Sayori Wakaba was, in my humble opinion, very pretty with and understanding attitude. When school was still in session, she got many A's and B's. She was smart, playful, fearless, hell she even teased Zero when Yuuki was, too.
She, too, sought shelter at the abandoned mansion, yet she didn't know another guy was staying there either.
Surprisingly, neither even saw each other, knew of each other, or heard each other, for they were in oppisite ends of the mansion.....
Running, that was all they had done for the past 5 days, run and run. there seemed no end to it. And the one leading the pack, Kaname, refused to answer where they were all going.
With Kaname and Yuuki were Takuma Ichijo, Hanabusa Aido, Akatsuki Kain, Ruka Souen, and Seiren Sunaien (the anime had not given her a last name, so i made one up). The few Nobles that decided to stay with him.
Yuuki had fallen asleep, because she was still not used to her blood, and Kaname was carrying her in his arms.
It was snowing when she had awakened again.
'Snow,' the newly awakened vampire thought, 'Why does eveyone say it is white? Even after turning into a vampire it still looks red to me.'
Yuuki looks up to her brother and lover, who is holding her in his arms. She sleepily puts her head against his chest, and goes into a semi-concious state.
'She looks very tired,' Kaname thinks, as he looks down at her. Her eyes, even though he couldn't see them, were beautiful. It gave him a shiver just thinking about those deep dark eyes.
Aido walks up, "Huh? That castle wasn't there a second ago."
The vampires walk all the way to the spot kaname had not mentioned, but they all knew this was the destination. It was a castle, that was easily seen, but what made the nobles question is that they have never seen this castle before, and most of them have seen all the castles around the world.
Kaname knew why and explained, "Through pure blood arts, the Kurans made this castle hard to find, they even put barriers around it to stop people from seeing it." He looked at the castle with grim memories, "It is the same castle that the Kuran family used to escape the public from thousands of years ago, and now we escape to it again."
The castle had 5 towers in a pentagonal shape around a central courtyard. Though it was hard to see in the snow and darkness, each tower had a strange symbol on it, each one more unique than the last. None of them knew what they meant. All the symbols had one thing in common though, there was a sphere in the center of them, and a single triangle inside the sphere. In the center of the courtyard was one more tower, this one had a diamond on the top with, again, a sphere in the middle, but it had a pentagon shape, each point pointing towards a tower.
When they reached the center tower they all entered it and began exploring, while Kaname took Yuuki up to the top of the tower. Kaname entered the top most room right below the diamond crystal. Inside there were sheet covered funiture. He uncovered the bed and placed Yuuki into it.
She breathed one last sigh, and then went into a deep sleep. Kaname kissed her goodnight, and slipped into bed next to her. He closed his eyes and then soon followed after her into the realm of dreams, knowing what was about to happen.
The nobles downstairs had each located a room for themselves, and then met at the bottom floor of the complex.
"So what do we do now?" asked Ichijo.
Aido, being the more curious one, "I say we search those other towers."
Seiren, though still intrigued, shook her head and said, "Kaname may get mad at us if we dig up the wrong secret."
Kain, not being one for a care in the world, and with a bored look said, "I still want to know how this castle works, and i'm pretty sure I saw those symbols before. I just can't figure out where."
Ruka simply wanted to sleep a little while, "I say we go to bed and meet later once we are refreshed."
All of them agreed, and went off to bed. Once they were all asleep, something strange happened, something out of the ordinary.
Each tower began to glow a different hue. Blood Red, Sapphire Blue, Jade Green, Shining Amber, and Midnight Black. The Crystal in the center then drew the glowing from each of the towers, and the central tower began to glow a Pure White. Once all the towers were glowing brightly, they all suddenly went out, and the world became still once more.
That was chapter one, and sorry for the explanation at the beginning, but i had to do that so that some things later could get done easily. Again sorry, i kno this ch. didn't have all that much to start with, but trust me it gets better next chapter.
Please R&R, i dont care if its nothing but insults or complaints, something to help me get better ideas. Oh btw help me with pairings on the noble vampires. I already have one pairing Kaname and Yuuki, and should I do the other pairing in a certain mansion on the school grounds or not?
I will let this sit on the air for a while to see what the reveiws look like, if noone takes any interest then this story will only go for as long as I want... if ppl do take interest, then i will try to post a new ch. every 2 weeks.
