Disclaimer: Hello! I know you guys are thinking, 'what is she doing updating a new story?' I know, I know, I have other stories to finish. But honestly, I can't think of what to write for those stories, and I keep coming up with new ideas! So, if I'm coming up with a new idea, I'm going to write it, and update any story that I can. Anyways! This story is dedicated to my two best friends penguin070594 and leshamarieinuyasha, for helping me come up with this awesome idea! They did this role playing thing for my seventeenth birthday last year, and I decided to write a story on it! So, kudos to you both! And, without further ado, here is my first ever Vampire Knight story!

I do not own Vampire Knight!

~ Chapter One ~

"Pen! Pen wake up! It's time for school!" I said, ramming my fist on the bedroom door.

"Five more minutes," he groaned.

"No! I'm not going to give you five more minutes, because every time I do, we end up late!"

He groaned again. "Fine, I'm getting up."

"Good," I said, and walked away from the door.

Hi, I'm Rae Michiyo. I'm a sixteen year old girl with average grades, and am currently living on my own. My parents had passed away about a year ago, so I have to care for myself now.

"Where's the bacon?" Pen said, walking down the stairs.

"On the stove."

Okay, technically I'm not living by myself. My best friend Pen Adachi is living with me to keep me company.

"Why are we getting up so early for anyways?" he asked, taking a bite of a piece of bacon.

"I told you, we have to get up early so we won't miss the bus. We're transferring to Cross Academy, remember?"

"Oh…right."

"Now c'mon! The bus is going to be here any minute and you're not even dressed yet!"

"What if I wanted to go like this?" He gestured to himself wearing nothing but a pair of boxers.

"Not funny. Go get dressed now!"

With one final groan, he grabbed a handful of bacon and walked back up the stairs and into his bedroom to get dressed.

I sighed. "I swear that boy can be so lazy sometimes."

As I munched on a couple pieces of bacon and waited for Pen to come back downstairs fully dressed, the bus pulled into the driveway.

"Pen! Bus is here, let's go!"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" he said, pulling a black hoodie over his head.

When we boarded the bus, we noticed that we were the only ones on the bus.

"Are we…on the right bus?" I asked.

"You two heading to Cross Academy?" the bus lady asked me.

"Yeah."

"Then yep. You're on the right bus."

As the bus lady closed the doors and started backing out of the driveway, I walked toward the back of the bus where Pen was already seated.

"So, what kind of school do you think Cross Academy is?" he asked.

"I don't know Pen. I honestly don't know."

"Yuki, there is some important business I need you to take care of for me today."

"Yes Headmaster? What is it?"

Two girls in black uniforms were standing in front of a desk, talking to a man who was known as the Headmaster of Cross Academy.

"We are expecting two students transferring in the Day Class today, and I want you to show them around the campus."

The girl known by the name of Yuki nodded. "Yes sir!"

"Good, good. Oh, and don't forget. Make sure they don't get anywhere near the Night Class. We don't want anyone getting hurt, now would we?"

"No sir."

"Good. Now, off you go. The transfer students will be here any minute."

Yuki gave the Headmaster a bow and quietly left the room – leaving the other girl in the Headmaster's office.

"Um…sir?"

"Hm? What is it Le?"

"I…I was just wondering…if anyone knows about me at all."

"You mean your secret?"

Le nodded.

"Oh no my dear, no one knows about you at all. I wouldn't even dare tell anyone about you unless it was an emergency! Plus, you know what would happen to you if I told them about you, right?"

"Yes sir."

"Then that's why I haven't told anyone. You're like another daughter to me Le. I took you in when you were all alone, and I raised you since then. I would rather die, than to tell someone your secret and have you killed."

"Thanks Headmaster," she smiled.

As the Headmaster returned the smile, someone knocked on the door.

"Headmaster, the transfer students are here," Yuki said.

"Oh wonderful! Bring them in!"

She nodded, and held the door open as Pen and I walked into the room.

"Ah, Pen and Rae. We've been expecting you. Welcome to Cross Academy! I am Headmaster Cross."

"It's very nice to meet you sir," I said, bowing politely.

"Yeah, nice to meet you," Pen said.

I glared at his direction, angry that he wasn't being polite at all. Then I heard the Headmaster laugh.

"Oh Rae, you remind me so much of Yuki and we've only just met."

"E-Excuse me?" I asked, utterly confused.

"You try to be polite at everything, but there is no need to be polite all the time. You don't need to bow when greeting me."

"Oh um, yes sir. Sorry sir."

"And you don't have to call me 'sir' either. Just call me Headmaster," he smiled.

"Um…okay…Headmaster."

Le laughed softly as my face started turning a bright red.

"Well, now that you are both here, why don't we give you your uniforms and assign you rooms?"

"Alright."

We watched as the Headmaster dug through a closet that held many, many uniforms. Totally curious, I snuck a peak in the closet and noticed there were two different types of uniforms. There were black uniforms, and then there were white uniforms.

Huh, I wonder why.

"Here you two go. You can change into these as soon as you get to your rooms."

"Thank you."

"Now, Rae, you will be rooming with Le over here," he said, pointing to the girl standing before me.

She gave me a warm smile. "Hey there Rae, it's nice to meet you."

"N-Nice to meet you too."

"And as for you Pen, you will be staying with Zero Kiryuu." There was a long pause. "Speaking of Kiryuu-kun, where is he?"

"I-I have no idea Headmaster, he's probably in his room already," Yuki said.

"Well, that's fine. Yuki, will you please show our new students to their rooms? And then once you're done with that, you can show them around the campus?"

"Sure thing Headmaster!"

"Good, well, off you go now!"

"C'mon guys! I'll show you to your rooms!" Yuki said, pushing us out the door. "Le, you come too!"

"C-Coming!" Le said, running after us.

"Well Pen, here's your room," Yuki said, as we approached the dorm.

"So, what's this Zero guy like?" he asked.

"Why don't you go in and see? He should be in there."

Pen shrugged and opened the door.

When he walked in, all he could see was total darkness.

"It's too dark in here…" He flipped on the light switch and saw a body on one of the beds flinch.

"Do you mind?"

"Oh, sorry man," Pen said, flipping the lights off. "Are you…Zero Kiryuu?"

"…Yeah, why?"

"Well, I'm your new roommate! I'm Pen Adachi!"

Zero glared in Pen's direction, and that sent chills up his spine.

"…I'm shutting up now. Sorry to bother you."

"Well, let's go to your room now Rae."

"I got it from here Yuki," Le said. "Since I'm her roommate, I can take her to our room."

"Alright, thanks Le!"

"C'mon Rae, let me show you to our room so you can check out the campus."

I smiled. "Okay."

As I followed Le down the hall, I couldn't help but think that there was something different about her. Not that being different was a bad thing. But, it was the first day and it already seemed like we were best friends.

After walking down a couple hallways, we finally reached our dorm.

"Well, here we are," Le said, unlocking the door and walking inside. "Come on in."

When I followed her inside, my jaw dropped in surprise.

The dorm was huge! It looked way bigger than normal dorms, even with all the furniture and such inside!

"You like?"

I nodded.

"Good, glad you like it."

"How did you get such a big dorm?"

"The Headmaster gave me this room. He technically calls me his daughter so, I think that's why he gave it to me."

"You're so lucky!"

"Yeah, well…"

Before I could gawk even more at the amazingly huge dorm, Yuki knocked on the door.

"You guys ready?"

"Yup," Le said. "Let's go Rae."

I nodded and walked out of the room with Le. When I stepped out, I saw fear in Pen's eyes.

"Pen? What's wrong with you?"

"H-He scares me…"

"Who scares you?"

"Z-Zero."

"Yeah, sorry 'bout that," Yuki said, rubbing the back of her neck sheepishly. "Zero can be really grumpy sometimes."

"He looked as though he was going to kill me!"

"I promise, I'll have a talk with him later. Right now, I gotta give you the tour of the campus before it gets dark."

"Why before dark?" I asked.

"I'm a guardian. I have to make sure the Day Class students get back to their dorms safely before dark."

"Day Class?"

"Cross Academy is broken up into two classes. The Day Class and the Night Class."

"What makes the Night Class so special?" Pen asked. "I don't see why you guys have to have two classes. Why not have the Night Class and Day Class all go to school together?"

"Uh…it's kind of…difficult to explain."

Pen and I quirked a brow.

Yuki faked a laugh and pushed us down the hallway. "Anyways! Let's get a move on! Don't want to be out late after curfew!"

"Speaking of curfew, when's lunch?"

I sighed and shook my head while smiling softly.

That's Pen for you, always hungry at times like these.

Yuki giggled. "Not for a couple more hours."

"Aw!"

"Now let's go!"

For the next couple hours, we went up and down stairs, down every hallway, and even shown where the Rec Hall was (where Pen stuffed his face with food). When Yuki was done with the tour, we ended up in front of the Night Class dorms and Day Class dorms.

"Alright, looks like we're done here," Yuki said. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I got some work to do."

"What kind of work?" I asked.

"I gotta make sure the Night Class students get to their classes without getting injured by the Day Class girls." She pointed to the screaming girls behind her.

"Oh, I see."

"Le, is it alright if you take Rae and Pen back to their rooms?"

"Sure thing! C'mon guys."

Le took hold of our wrists and started pulling us towards the Day Class dorms, when the Night Class gates opened.

My head turned toward the gate when the girls started screaming.

"Everybody settle down! Get back!" I heard Yuki shout.

"Wonder what the big fuss is about," I said to myself.

As Yuki kept trying to push all the screaming girls back, beautiful beings walked out of the gate wearing the white uniforms I saw in the Headmaster's closet.

"That must be the Night Class uniform," I heard Pen say. He was looking in the same direction as me, curious as to what made the Night Class so famous.

No wonder the girls were screaming. All the students in the Night Class were gorgeous!

"Hello ladies!" a blonde boy said, waving at the screaming girls. "Nice to see you again!"

"Who's that?" I asked Le.

She sighed. "That's Hanabusa Aido, or Aido-sempai as we call him. He thinks he's an idol 'cause all the girls adore his looks."

"O…kay…" I honestly didn't think you should be an idol based on your looks. But, of course, that's what all the fan girls think.

One by one, students from the Night Class walked out of the dorm and headed to class. Intrigued, somehow, I watched as they disappeared into the building.

"Okay, I think it's time for us to go now." Le was practically pulling us to the Day Class dorms.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Just as I turned around, I caught a glimpse of one Night Class student who looked even more beautiful than the others. I turned my head back around and saw him staring at me.

"Why, hello there," he said.

I couldn't say anything. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would burst out of my chest. When he stared in my eyes, I thought I got lost in them for a moment.

Who was this strange but beautiful man? And why was my heart beating so quick? Could it be that I'm…in love?

Done! Phew, I thought this chapter would never end! And yes, I honestly thought it was boring. But that's how most first chapters are. They're boring, and then from that point on, it gets better. Well, hope you all enjoyed the first chapter and hope to keep reading! Cause that would make me so happy! So, please review! Your reviews inspire me to write. And trust me; I could really use the inspiration. Love you all! ^_^ Expect chapter two sometime soon!
