The Fallen ones

Chapter 1

Yuuki was looking through the window as she saw flashbacks of the past. The past she spent with Kaname. The fact was that most of them were happy. Sometimes, at times like these, she would feel angry at herself for erasing them from her mind…She already decided long time ago to choose those unhappy memories over happy ones. She had so many memories in which Yuuki and him were happy. But after all she still chose the painful memories that faithful night. She shook her head. It wasn't the time for reminiscing about those days. It was just the mater of time before she'll put on a fake smile and pretends to be happy.
Yuuki slowly moved from her position and turned on the TV. She stared at it blankly. All she needed to do was pretend everything is fine and she is just watching an afternoon drama, but she couldn't. Something just didn't let her pretend as she usually pretended. Maybe the memories that she tried so hard to bury deep inside her heart, but couldn't was the cause of it all.

"Yuuki-sama there's a guest waiting for you" the maid announced. It was strange Yuuki was sure she didn't invite anyone.

"Who is it?" Yuuki asked with that cold and commanding voice she learnt after she left the place where she and Kaname loved to create happy memories.

"It's Ichijo-sama" maid replied. Yuuki hit herself mentally. She should have known better than that. Of course it was Takuma. After all he was the only one who knew where she was.

"Lead him here." She ordered the maid, which looked kind of scared of Yuuki. Fear… It was one of the many weapons in her arsenal. In these two years she learnt to survive on her own. She no longer needed someone to help her to deal with the world, that should be a good thing, though somehow she felt very lonely after she realized she no longer needed anyone.

"I didn't aspect that you'll visit me. Did something happen that needs my participation? But you know it would have been easier to ask Kaname to participate in my place." Yuuki said to Takuma as she heard the door open.

"It's not that kind of matter… It's a personal request." Takuma sweat dropped before he continued "I would like to ask you to come back… To come back to Kaname with me…" even though he tried he couldn't stop his voice from wavering.

"You know it's…" Yuuki was cut of before she could finish the sentence.
"Yuuki… It's for Kaname's sake I'm asking you this. It seems he's getting more and more depressed. All that is left from him is just a shell of a person he used to be." Takuma pleaded her. "I know your reasons and understand them very well, but please…" Yuuki realized she never saw Takuma so desperate.

"….Okay…. I'll go…"was Yuuki's reply.

This was it. She stood before Cross Academy and once Yuuki will step into the moon dormitory she'll meet Kaname. It was too long since the last time she saw him and she just couldn't help, but worry of what will happen when she sets foot in there. Takuma said there are new perfects watching over academy and it's secrets.

"What are you doing here so late? Shouldn't you be in class or something?" Someone asked and Yuuki assumed it was one of the new perfects. The voice was so familiar to Zero's, but Yuuki knew that it was impossible. The male boy jumped down from a tree and asked again the same question. He indeed looked a lot like Zero, but he was a human, more precisely a hunter. "And who are you? Show your face!" It made her giggle the thought of how similar those two were. It seems that her giggle made the young hunter even angrier and he demanded her to show her face again. She didn't even thought about taking of her hood who was protecting her from outside world. But it seems luck wasn't at her side because when wind blew it blew off her hood. When the man in front of her saw her face he was shocked. "M…Mi…Misaki?! What are you doing here with that vampire?! Shouldn't you be patrolling the area?" perfect started yelling at her when he suddenly realized "You're not Misaki are you? Now that I had a better look at you, you really do look a lot like her, but your aura… It's strange… It's just like Kaname-sempai's."

"And who might you be? I never met you before today. And who is this Misaki person?" Yuuki asked curiously. Just when she heard someone closing in on them fastly. It had to be a vampire no human could run that fast. In fact it was not a vampire, but vampires.
"Yuuki-sama!" She heard as one of noble vampires called her and quickly bowed in front of her. His actions were followed by many other nobles. And then she saw Kaname he was just like she remembered him.

Perfect before her was petrified. He could not understand why did all those vampires called her 'sama' and was she not bowing to Kaname-sempai. It was a big surprise as well when Kaname-sempai came closer to her and hugged the woman.
"Did you miss me Kaname?" was the thing only the young female said as Kaname hugged her even tighter.
"Do you even need to ask, Yuuki…"he replied as though this was normal occurrence. Shin still could not believe his eyes. This vampire in front of him looked so much like Misaki. He knew that this evening will stay in his memory for the rest of his life. Not just because of girl's appearance, but also because it was first time in a whole year that he has been a perfect in Cross Academy that he saw Kaname Kuran showing someone affection. It was a mystery. A mystery that he's willing to find out.

Shin was still sleepy because of the last night. He could not believe that, that woman who awakened Kname-sempai's feelings even had connections to the chairman. This was just insane.

"Shin are you alright? We were patrolling later than usual yesterday, maybe you should go back…"Misaki said looking at him worriedly. It wasn't just because he went to sleep a little later, it was nothing like that he just couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night. That strange woman and all was too much for him to handle. In fact Misaki and that woman really looked alike. Just few different things such as – Misaki was shorter than her and woman's hair was few shades darker than Misaki's. It didn't stop the feeling that something important was going to happen he just couldn't say what so all he did was refuse Misaki's offer and tried to concentrate as hard as he could even though it wasn't easy. It was just the morning and he already thought he won't be able to last.
