A Vampire Night

"Hey! Give it back!" I call, running after the other Hobo on my street. My name's Yuri, and I've lived on the streets since age five. That is my earliest memory.

This guy gives me trouble every time I finally get something to eat, or get some money. I have to run faster so that I don't lose sight of him, but I run into a boy with silver-colored hair.

"Sorry!" I say. The guy grabs my wrist.

"Yuki, Headmaster said he needs us," he says. He starts dragging me.

"Hey! Who are you! Let go of me!" I scream, trying to get out of his grasp. Then I remember something he said.

"I'm not Yuki! You have the wrong person!" I start hitting his hand. He won't let go. I look back. I can't see the Hobo anymore, so what's the use? He drags me to a place called Cross Academy, and into the Headmaster's office.

"Hello Yuki, hello Zero," the Headmaster says. So, his name is Zero?

"Excuse me, but I'm not Yuki." The guy looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Of course you are," he states flatly.

"No, my name is Yuri. I was dragged here against my will by this guy," I say, pointing at Zero.

"Oh my," the Headmaster says, standing up. He grabs my shoulder. "You aren't Yuki!"

"I know, that's what I've been saying," I say.

"Oh, dear. Where's Yuki?" he asks Zero, sounding worried.

"She ran off, I'll go look for her," Zero says, running out. The Headmaster turns to me.

"So, Yuri, tell me about yourself," he says.

"Could I please know what's going on first? Where am I?"

"You are at Cross Academy," he starts. "I had my son and daughter go get something for me, and apparently Yuki ran away. I offer my apologies for Zero taking you instead of Yuki. Did you tell him you aren't her?"

"Yes," I answer.

"Now, please tell me who you are. You do look an awful lot like my Yuki," he tells me. I don't know who Yuki is, but I have big, brown eyes and brown hair a little longer than my shoulders.

"As I said, my name is Yuri. I've been living on the streets for ten years now, I think. I don't remember anything that happened before age five. I'm just trying to survive, so I'll be going now," I say calmly. I start to stand but he bursts into tears, the tears practically flying out of his eyes. I fall back into my chair from fear.

"Please stay with me! Your story is so sad!" he begs.

"No, no. I wouldn't want to be a bother," I say, dismissively waving away the idea.

"No! It wouldn't be any trouble at all! We have some dorms open. You can go to school here, and I will adopt you!" he says, a dreamy look in his eyes.

"Uhh, uh. Um, well. I guess we could see how it works..." I say. He jumps at me with wide arms and wraps me in a hug.

"Call me Father," he says.

"Well, I'll be going now," I say. The door bursts open. Zero and a girl walk though.

"Found her," Zero mumbles. I look at the girl. She looks at me. The Headmaster gasps.

"You two look identical!" he exclaims. Zero looks at us and sort of nods in agreement. "Yuki, Zero, meet your new sister," he says. They look at him, eyes wide.

"What?" Yuki breathed.

"Yep. Oh, do you believe in Vampires, Yuri?" I look at him.

"Um, yeah, I do," I say, bowing my head.

"Okay," he says seriously.

"Why?" I ask. Does he know about me?

"Just wondering," he answers.

"Do you?" I ask. Zero's eyes open wide, and he whips out a gun, and points it at me.

"Vampire," he mutters.

"Oh, Yuri's a vampire? Well I guess she'll be going to the Night Class," Headmaster says.

"Put the gun away," I instruct Zero. He slowly puts it away. Headmaster bangs his fist on the

table.

"That's final! Yuri will be in the Night Class! You will start today!" he says. He pulls out a white uniform. "I made this for Yuki, but because of her prefect duties, I'm afraid she has to stay in the Day Class." He hands me the uniform. "Go try it on!" he instructs. Yuki shows me to the bathroom.

"I'll stand out here," she says, "the door's lock is broken." I go in and change as fast as I can. These clothes are really nice, much nicer than the rags I usually wear. I step out. Yuki looks at me and smiles. She grabs my hand and runs back to the guys.

"Come on Zero! Classes are switching!" is all Yuki says. She keeps running. When we finally reach our destination, my jaw drops. I take in the whole sight. There are girls all over, and they are shrieking. The shrieking only gets louder when the gate opens. Out walk some people. I don't really understand what's so special about them. Yuki drops my hand and runs to try to stop the "Fangirls". I walk over to the group in the same white uniform that I'm wearing.

"Excuse me, is this the Night Class?" I ask. A boy with blonde hair looks at me.

"Yuki? You're in the Night Class now?" the boy asks.

"I'm not Yuki." I say for the umpteenth time, "So this is the Night Class?" He looks at me and nods. They continue walking and I start running to catch up.

In the classroom I sit in the far back corner, hoping to not get noticed. That boy comes over to me and sits down. I give him my death glare.

"Yuki, why are you here?" he asks.

"FOR THE LAST TIME! I'M NOT YUKI!" I blow up in his face. I'm sick of being called Yuki! Everyone in the room turns around and my face turns a deep crimson red.

"Jeez, you don't need to bite my head off Yuki," he says.

"My name is Yuri. Leave me alone," I say, trying not to kill the guy sitting next to me.

"My name's Hanabusa Aido," he says, still not leaving.

"I don't care," I snap. This guy is getting on my nerves.

"You can call me Idol." He seems smug. I hate him! I don't respond, hoping he'll get the hint. Of course, he's too stupid to realize that, and he keeps talking.

"Can I have some of your blood?" Aido asks. A guy with wavy dark hair comes up and smacks

Aido across the face.

"Leave her alone... Hanabusa," he says.

"Yes Lord Kaname," Aido says. I start laughing. I laugh so hard I can't breathe. Aido glares at me.

"You.. have.. no idea.. how much I.. wanted to do..that.. to..you!" I manage between gasps for air. He gets up and walks away... finally.
