Chapter 1

The Kuran Mansion:

Within the dark halls of the Kuran Mansion vampires greeted each other as they just awoke from a day of sleeping. The sun was just setting behind the horizon and the last rays of light made the dark clouds glow purple.

"Sigh, oh how I miss seeing the beautiful ladies greet us in the evening at Cross Academy." Aidou said as he walked the halls with two other vampires. He stretched his arms as he had just woken up. "Don't you agree Akatsuki?"

"Of course only you would miss something as trivial as that Hanabusa." Kain said plainly.

"Shhh! Don't bring up Cross Academy on a night like this." Exclaimed Ruka. She was accompanying the two as they headed downstairs to the dinning hall.

Aidou eyed Ruka innocently…"Ahh, what do you mean? I am merely reminiscing about our past school life." He smiled, knowing her scolding was not yet finished.

Ruka glared at Aidou. "You know that today is a year mark of the day that Yuuki Cross, human guardian of the Academy, became Yuuki Kuran, the vampire sister of Kaname." She had a sour look on her face. "Today doesn't remind everyone of pleasant memories" Ruka looked out of the floor length windows in the hallway they were passing through…'Kaname-sama...why do you persist with Yuuki…' She thought privately.

"Yuuki Kuran-sama has not yet come out of her room. And this past week she's been reclusive." Kain stated as they entered the dinning hall where the waiters prepared glass's of blood.

Aidou sighed and dropped his attitude. "With all that's happened, can you honestly blame her? What I wouldn't give to know what she's thinking." Picked up a glass of blood…

While the three of them started their breakfast on the first floor, upstairs Yuuki, awake, had yet to get out of bed.

'Its been a year since…then.' Yuuki laid sprawled across her bed, her legs dangling off the side and her eyes staring up at the ceiling though not really looking at it. Her mind was revisiting the past. 'One year ago tonight, I was awakened into the vampire world.' She closed her eyes and remembered Kaname's kiss, his mouth filled with his own warm blood spilling into her mouth, forcing her to drink it and continue on with the transformation after he had bit her and drank her blood. Yuuki's memories had come flying back to her, her parents, heads of the Kuran family, her brother, Kaname, and herself, the little vampire daughter that was kept a secret from all others. 'I remembered everything that I had forgotten as a human…and then…' Her mind pictured a young man with silver hair. He was pointing a gun down at her and Kaname…'Zero…!' Her eyes flew open and she sat up, there was a knock on her door.

Yay!!! Chapter 1 of Lustful Blood is up! Short but I'm pretty confident its a strong beginging. So, as stated in the summary, the story takes place exactly one year after the night Yuuki Cross was awakened and became Yuuki Kuran, the vampire. She is currently living in the Kuran Mansion, a far ways from the Cross Academy, with Kaname(obviously), Hanabusa Aidou, Akatsuki Kain, and Ruka Souen....for now that is about all you know. Btw, the italicized parts with the single (') quotation marks means they are speaking in their heads. So I'll stop my rantings before I give away the entire story. ^-^ Hope you enjoyed it.
