Devil Knight

This book is on the character Dante Cross, and follows the events of Vampire Knight.

 When the world started, Humans came in, and so did Vampires. There were Vampires called ancestors, they bred and created Pureblood Vampires, then more Vampires came into the world creating different types of Vampires, but whilst Humans lived, they in fear and tried to fight against the Vampires, my kind came in, we are servants to the Purebloods and our job is to protect them and be there for them, as for me, I’m one of the first of my kind, and we are more than Vampires, stronger, faster and more feared, I am Dante, I have no last name and no family, and I am a Demon.

 Prologue: “Dante, can you please come in here”. Dante walked into the room, he saw a woman with light brown hair and dark red eyes, on her lap was a the young girl, she was around two years old, she had dark brown hair and the same colour eyes “Dante, this is Yuki, Yuki, this is Dante”. Dante looked at the girl Yuki, she looked at him, she got off the woman’s lap and walked to him, she grabbed his pants and looked up at him with a smile “Dan…Dante”. Dante looked at the woman “Why are you showing her to me Juri, I’m not meant to see her till she’s older”? Juri stood up and walked to him “Because, I’m giving you too her”. Dante looked down at Yuki “I thought I’m Kaname’s”. Juri shook her head “We know that he’s not really Kaname, but Haruka and I want you to be hers”. Dante looked away, he felt Juri’s hands touch his face, she brought his face to face her “When you saved me from Rido, I know then that you were meant to be mine, now I want you to be Yuki’s when she’s older, please”. Dante looked back down at Yuki and smiled “Then I will be honoured”. Juri smiled and took Dante’s hand “Now we make a blood promise”. Dante nodded and took out a knife, he cut his wrist and handed the knife to Juri, she did the same and put her blood on the blade and put it onto Dante’s cut, Dante took the knife, cleaned the blood and put the knife away, he knelt down and looked at Yuki, she put her hands on his face and smiled “When you’re older, I hope you and I can be friends”. Dante picked up Yuki and she laughed “I hope you two do”.

 Three years late- Dante sat with Yuki, there was an older boy with her “You seem happy Dante, I haven’t seen you like that”. Dante looked at the boy “You know Kaname, I don’t think I have ever been, besides I think this little one here is the reason”. Dante tickled Yuki making her laugh, Dante heard the door open and saw Juri and a man walk in with a smile “Haruka, Juri, your back already”. Haruka put his hand on Juri’s shoulder “We wanted to make sure Yuki was alright, but when she’s with you and Kaname, she’s always happy”. Dante smiled but then it faded, he felt a strong presence near the house “It’s him”. Dante stood up and looked at Haruka “Juri stay here with Kaname and Yuki, Dante and I will deal with him”. Dante took a claymore that was leaning against the wall and walked with Haruka “What does he want this time Dante”? Dante shrugged “Whatever it is, we’re not letting him get it”. They walked to the front door and opened it, it was snowing and a man stood in the snow, all Dante could see were his glowing red and blue eyes “Ah, if it isn’t my dear brother coming to greet me with my sister’s pet”. Dante gripped the hilt of the claymore “I see you’re still an asshole, Rido Kuran”. Rido smiled and looked at them “I see you have a new attitude, it suits you very well”. Dante saw more figures, they had red eyes that were glowing “Dante, will you lend me some of your strength”? Dante looked at Haruka “As my Mistress’s husband, I shall”. Haruka and Dante looked at Rido and the other Vampires “Before we kick your arse Rido, what do you want”. Rido smiled and put his hands together “Why, after I’m done with you two, I shall go in, drain Juri’s blood, kill Kaname, then drain my little niece’s blood slowly”. Dante gritted his teeth “You’re not touching her or Lady Juri”. Haruka looked at Dante surprised “Juri really has faith in you, as do I”. Dante looked at Haruka and smiled, they looked at Rido “Well, if you two think you can take me, bring it on”. Dante and Haruka charged at Rido, and the snow got heavy.

 Act 1:

 First Night: Dante sat in the train, there were six other people in the carriage with him ‘Why does Kaname want me’? Dante took out a picture from his breast pocket, it showed him and a young girl, she had brown hair and red-brown eyes ‘Yuki, four years ago, I left you, ten years ago, you had forgotten everything. I left to keep you safe from me, now Kaname calls me, please, be alright’. Dante heard the carriage door open, he looked up and saw a young girl with silver violet hair, her eyes were the same colour as her hair, she walked to him and took a seat in front of him “I have been sent by Lord Kaname to escort you”. Dante smirked “What did you do, follow me to Moscow and to the train, besides, you’re meant to wait at the station”. The girl looked at Dante “He wanted me to make sure you arrive safely without any problems”. Dante sighed and put the picture away “Whatever, can you relax a bit, you tensing makes   me feel like you’re the robot from Terminator”. The girl just stared at Dante “What’s your name then”? The girl looked out the window “Seiren, and you are Dante Cross”. Dante lay down on the seat, he rested his head on his hands and put his feet up on the arm rest “Yes I am”. Dante closed his eyes “Do you have any emotion by the way”. Seiren looked at Dante “What’s it to you”? Dante shrugged “You look like you have something up your arse, maybe you should try smiling when you’re not near Kaname or anyone else”. Seiren around “The people in here, they’re not Human, are they”. Dante opened his eyes and sat up “Nope, I hate being in a small area with Vampires and Humans, I prefer to travel with my own kind”. Seiren looked back and saw violet eyes looking at her, Dante nodded and the people went back to what they were doing “Now, for the next five hours, I don’t want to be woken up, because I’ve got some hot dates in Sandman land”. Dante lay back down and fell asleep.

 The train stopped, everyone got out as did Dante and Seiren, he saw an old fashioned car parked in front of the station “Our transportation is here”. Dante looked at Seiren and sighed “I’d rather walk then get in a car with you”. Dante opened the car and got in, it was cream leather seats and Dante looked at the driver, he could only see the back of his head. Dante took a seat and then Seiren came in after him, when she closed the door the car started and Dante felt it move “So do you know why Kaname called for me”? Seiren took out a file and handed it to Dante, he took it and opened it “He wants you to protect this girl”. Dante looked at it and saw the same girl that was in his picture, he closed it and sighed “Isn’t that what Kaname’s been doing”? Seiren took out another file and he took it and opened it, this time it showed a male, he had silver hair and purple eyes, he had a tattoo on his neck “His name is Zero Kiryu, he wants you to kill him”. Dante looked at Seiren “Why, he’s human”. Seiren shook her head “Four years ago, his parents and brother were killed by a pureblood by the name of Shizuka Hio”. Dante’s eyes widened and looked at Seiren “Why the face”? Dante sighed and put his finger to his forehead “Shizuka Hio was looking for help from me two years ago, I haven’t seen her since, but she never said anything about that, how can you be sure she did”. Seiren just stared at him “Ask the boy Zero, he survived it, barely”. Dante knew what she had meant, if bitten by a pureblood, there are two things that would happen, if lucky they would die from the bite, but if bitten, they would turn into a Vampire themselves “When we get there, Lord Kaname would want to talk to you straight away, so head towards the Moon Dorm”. Dante looked at her, he sighed and looked out the window “Great, the head wants to see me as I arrive, no fun”.

 The car stopped and Dante got out, Seiren stayed in the car “You’re not coming”? Seiren shook her head “Lord Kaname has asked me to run an errand, besides I’m sure you’ll find your way around”. The car drove off, Dante sighed and turned at the stairs, he saw how long they were and shrugged “Now that I’m here, I might as well has some fun”. Dante took out a pair of headphones and turned on his music, it was rock music and he had it full blast, then he ran up the stairs as the beats of the drums hit. When he made it up the stairs he saw students walking around talking to each other, he smiled and walked into the grounds, they saw him, he knew they were talking about him by the way they were moving, Dante turned down his music a bit but kept his headphones on, he walked through but had no idea where he was “HOLD IT RIGHT THERE”. Dante stopped and looked back, he took his headphones and saw the girl in his picture “Dante is that you”? Dante turned around and smiled “It’s been a while Yuki”. She ran at him and hugged him “I thought you had been killed or something, the Headmaster told me that you wouldn’t be coming back”. Dante hugged the girl Yuki “Now if I were dead, I’m sure Kaname or someone would’ve told you, but remember, if a bullet can’t keep me down”. Yuki looked up at him and smiled “Then nothing can”. Dante rubbed her head “Yuki, who is this”? Dante saw a girl the same age as Yuki staring at Dante “Sorry… Dante this is my best friend Yori Wakaba, Yori this is my older brother Dante Cross”. Dante took Yori’s hand “It’s a pleasure to meet a friend of my sister”. He kissed her hand and she blushed “I never knew Yuki had an older brother”. Dante smiled and looked up at the ceiling “Yeah, I left here four years ago for a scholarship, but I came back because Kaname Kuran had called for me”. Yuki looked at Dante “Kaname called for you, so you came because he called for you”. Dante shook his head “He sent me a letter a week ago telling me that he was coming to see me in Moscow, but I told him that I’ll come here, besides I want to at least see you”. Yuki smirked and punched Dante in the gut “Well I’ll take you to him right away”. Dante smiled and looked at Yori “I’ll see you in class Yuki, if Zero asks where you were I’ll tell him where you are”. Yori walked away leaving Dante and Yuki alone “Come on, on the way you can tell me what you’ve been doing the past four years”.

 “No way, you actually cured a of Vampires”. Dante smiled “Yeah, poor girl had been turned but couldn’t hold her thirst, I happen to have found her before she could kill someone, I took her in and helped her, although she started to get attached to me”. Yuki laughed “I never knew you were training to be a Vampire doctor”. Dante shook his head “I went to help Vampire who need it, as well as Humans, but I didn’t think I would be there for four years”. Yuki shrugged “I’ll make it up to you Yuki, for the four years I was away”. Dante put his hand on Yuki’s shoulder and hugged her “I’m sure you will”. Dante smiled and saw a building “Well I’ll go the rest of the way, I’ll see you tonight, I’ll be dinning at the Headmasters house tonight”. Yuki smiled and bowed “Then I shall see you tonight”. Dante watched her run off, he smiled and turned around and walked into the gate, he saw an old man sitting down behind a table “I’m here to see Kaname Kuran”. The man didn’t say anything, Dante shrugged and continued walking towards the building, he walked to the door and opened it, he saw the place was clean, he saw a girl with pale brown hair and darker brown eyes, she looked at Dante with a stare “Oh great I come to see Kaname and meet another Vampire that is one of Kaname’s people”. The girl rolled her eyes and stood up “And what’s that to you”? Dante shrugged “Dante, it’s been a while”. Dante looked at the top of the stairs and saw a man with dark brown long hair, and red-brown eyes “It has Kaname, besides you guys are rude, I come here and not one person has offered me something, the only nicest people that have greeted me were Yuki and her friend Yori”. Kaname smiled and walked down the stairs “I’m sorry for our rudeness, please come this way”. Dante shook his head “I’d rather stay here because it’s near the door, but just by reading you, you want me to look after Yuki, if I’m right”. Kaname nodded “Then I shall see to it”. Dante turned to the door and opened it, but he stopped “Oh and another thing, what’s wrong with the kid Zero Kiryu, I mean other than being bitten by another pureblood, but what’s wrong with him”. Kaname looked at the girl “Ruka, leave us”. The girl Ruka bowed and walked away, when she left Kaname looked at Dante “Shizuka Hio was the Vampire that bit Zero Kiryu, he’s been fighting against it for the past four years, I don’t want him around when he turns Level E or ever, I want you to deal with him”. Dante looked away from a moment “Kaname, I gave up hunting Vampires for the past ten years, the last order you gave me was to look after Yuki with Kaien, and I have done that but I don’t see anything wrong with this Zero kid being around Yuki, from the file on him, he’s family are Vampire Hunters, one of the best, so I’m sure there is another way of dealing with Zero”. Kaname looked at Dante, their gaze met “What are you suggesting”? Dante sighed, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Kaname, he took it and read it “I suggest that I help Zero control himself, just till I find the one thing that can help him”. Kaname smiled and looked at Dante “I see, well then, I shall go with your plan, but if he does anything to hurt Yuki, I will kill him”. Dante looked at Kaname “Now if you’ll excuse me I have to get ready for class, I’ll see you tonight probably”. Dante shrugged “We’ll see”. Dante bowed and walked out of the dorms ‘Now to meet this Zero Kiryu’.

 Dante walked through the corridors of the school grounds, he had been looking for Zero’s class but it only lead him to girls talking about him looking cute, Dante shook the thought out of his head and walked to the last classroom, he knocked on the door and walked in “Excuse me, I’m looking for the disciplinary committee, are both Yuki Cross and Zero Kiryu in here”. Dante looked around and saw Yuki looking at Dante happy “And who might you be”? Dante looked at the teacher “I’m Dante Cross, the older brother of Yuki Cross and the adopted son of Kaien Cross, why do I look like something out of a horror movie, because I haven’t had much sleep and I’ve been looking for these two for about an hour so cut me some slack”. The teacher frowned and crossed his arms “Now as I was about to say I need to see both Yuki and Zero, it’s something about what you are doing”. Yuki sprung up and skipped down the stairs, Dante saw a boy with white hair walk down the stairs, Dante knew it was Zero after looking at the picture in the file, they walked out of the room and Dante followed, he closed the door and looked at the both of them “So you’re Dante Cross, never knew you looked much like a Vampire”. Dante smiled and shrugged “I’m not a Vampire, besides do I really looked like a Vampire Yuki”. Yuki scratched her head “Well, only a bit, due to the pale skin and the fangs”. Dante felt his fangs “Shit, can’t do anything about it now, anyway I just wanted to tell you that I’ll be joining you two on patrol tonight, I need to feel the night air and I’ll need something to do now that I have finished writing that book”. Yuki smiled “I read your latest book, I loved it how you used a male Vampire falling in love with a Female Human but I didn’t understand the sparkling Vampires”. Dante sighed and shook his head “That’s Twilight you were reading, I wrote about the Demon serving the Female Vampire who fell in love with a male Human”. Yuki frowned and crossed her arms “I remember seeing that book”. Dante looked at Zero “I started reading it, but had to stop when it got to that part when the Demon servant was killed saving the Vampire, why did you write about that”. Dante knew the answer “I did that because, centuries ago believe it or not, there was a female Vampire who had fallen in love with a Human, the Demon part was bull crap, that character was another Vampire, but I didn’t want to kill him off, but to make fans cry you have to kill off the good characters”. Zero rolled his eyes but Yuki was crying “It was sad, you killed off the cool character then later on killed them both off”. Dante sighed and looked at the classroom door “I’ll probably write a new book, but it’ll have to wait till I’ve settled in”. Yuki wiped her tears away with her sleeve “Now you two can both go back in, I’ll see you tonight”. Yuki smiled and saluted, Zero just groaned and they both walked back into the classroom, Dante walked down the corridor thinking about what he had just said ‘A new book, but on what’?

 Dante sat on the bed, his coat was off and shoes, he was wearing a black tight t-shirt and black jeans and was barefoot, he had his laptop out and opened up Microsoft Word and had a blank page “Never liked this part of writing a book, nor writing an ending”. Dante sighed and took off his glasses, he looked out the window and saw that the sun was going down “Crap, and I agreed to help Yuki and Zero on patrolling tonight”. Dante sighed and got up, he took a pair of black steel capped boots and grabbed his navy blue coat and walked out of his room, he turned but saw a man wearing robes, he had pale blonde hair that was tied back and he wore glasses “Dante, I’m glad I caught you, I have something for you”. Dante saw the man hand him a case “You left it here when you left, I’ve kept it for you since”. Dante took the case and opened it, he saw a silver sword in it with two silver guns, Dante sighed and closed it “I can’t take these, I told you four years ago that I have given them up”. Dante dropped it to the ground and walked past the man “Oh, come on, Zero and Yuki have Bloody Rose and Artemis Rod, you need something”. Dante looked back at him “Kaien, I told you that after that event ten years ago, was when I last used them, I gave them up four years ago, now I don’t use any weapon, only my powers”. Kaien adjusted his glasses and looked at Dante “I thought you wouldn’t want them, but I’ll keep them till you need them”. Dante sighed and continued walking “I hate it when you force things on Yuki and I, you’re lucky I haven’t killed you already”. Dante walked to the door and walked out of it, he felt the bright sun shine to his eyes, he took out a pair of black sunglasses and put them on “Man I hate the sun”. Dante continued to walk down the road, he thought about Yuki ‘This should be fun’.

 Dante saw a group of girls crowding around the gate to the Moon Dorm, he saw Yuki blowing a whistle “Everyone back to your dorms”. Dante smiled and walked to the crowd of girls “Now, now ladies I hope my younger sister isn’t causing much trouble”. The girls looked at Dante and talked about him “Now why don’t you go back to your dorms so you don’t have to hear that annoying whistle”. The girls groaned and hesitated “We want to see the Night class students, I want to see Aido”. Dante rolled his eyes “I hate girls, especially Human girls”. Dante heard the gates open and saw the girls line up quickly, then he saw who they were lining up for, it was Kaname and a group of students in white “Fuck me, they’re interested in them”. The students walked out and one of them was flirting with the girls, Dante sighed and rubbed his head “I hate Vampires”. Dante saw Yuki pushing some of the girls away from them, Dante sighed and walked towards her till she   fell down, Dante then watched as Kaname helped her up ‘Ten years ago Rido came after the Pureblood Vampire Yuki, why do you really want me here for Kaname”. Then saw Zero hit Kaname’s hand away ‘It can’t be to kill the boy Zero, but for something else’. Dante thought hard about it, then Dante saw Kaname walk towards Dante “I was hoping you would take those weapons, it took me a while to find them, so I want you to use them in order to protect Yuki”. Dante didn’t look at Kaname “I hope you will enjoy your first night here”. Dante smiled and looked up at the twilight sky “I’ll try to, as I have been in the darkness for four years, but I’ll try to”. Kaname walked away, Dante looked at Yuki with a smile “Excuse me, Dante Cross”. Dante turned and saw two female Day Class students standing next to him “We were wondering, where were you for the past four years”? Dante looked at Yuki then back at the two girls “Moscow, I was in Moscow to become a doctor for this Academy”. The girls talked to each other and then ran off “Thank you”. Dante looked at them confused “Looks like you’re like us with the girls”. Dante looked to his right and saw a Night class student standing next to him, he had blonde hair and emerald green eyes “Probably, never know why girls always went for us cute guys, must be some girl thing”. The student laughed at Dante’s comment “Must be, I’m Takuma Ichijo, the vice-president of the Night Dorm”. He put his hand out and Dante shook it “Dante Cross, Yuki’s older brother”. Takuma smiled and looked at Kaname “I never knew Yuki had a brother, nor a cool one”. Dante smirked at his comment “Yeah I am pretty cool, better than Kaname”. Dante felt the eyes of the Night Class looking at him “Well I don’t know about that but you seem like a cool guy anyway I must be going, see you later”. Dante watched as Takuma ran after the other Night Class students, Dante sighed and looked at Yuki and Zero, they were arguing with each other, Dante walked to them “You two, what fun I’m going to have with you two”. Yuki looked at Dante confused “What do you mean by that”? Dante put his hand on Yuki’s head “Simple, I’m going to annoy the living shit out of Kaname and the Night Class, as well as Zero”. Dante poked Zero’s face “You have no emotion like that Seiren girl, fuck I think I need to do something to make you guys laugh”. Zero hit Dante’s hand away “I don’t need any help”. Dante smirked and put his hands in his coat pockets “Well I’m sure you’ll need my help, besides I think you should see the Headmaster on why I’m here, if you think I’m just here to annoy everyone”. Zero sighed and walked away, Yuki ran after him “Hey wait up Zero”. Dante smiled and looked up at the sky, he felt a burn on his wrist and looked at what it was, he saw a red butterfly carved in his wrist ‘The mark Juri gave me, why’s it coming up now’. Dante looked up and saw Kaname looking at him ‘I want you to remember the promise you made with her’. Dante smiled at Kaname ‘I have been remembering, for ten fucking years, you do what you’re meant to do, and I’ll do mine’. Dante put down his sleeve and walked after Yuki and Zero.

 “How can I work with this one when she’s daydreaming when doing her job”? Dante stood by the door with his eyes closed “Says the one that always comes late”. Dante opened his eyes and looked at Kaien “Zero I had this academy build for both Humans and Vampires to live together in harmony, since the beginning of time both Vampires and Humans have been fighting each other”. Dante rolled his eyes, he had been listening to this for a long time “Hey Kaien you should give it a rest, even I’m sick of hearing it”. Kaien looked at Dante with tears “Why are you so mean to me, I raised you like my own, even though you haven’t age due to you being a Vampire”. Dante kick a chair at Kaien nearly hitting him “I’m not one of them”. Dante walked out of the room, he had gotten sick, of people calling him a Vampire, then Kaname’s voice entered his head ‘I want you to remember the promise you made with her’. Dante shook his head “Get out of my head Kaname”. Dante grabbed his head and tried to think about something else ‘Why forget what Kaname Kuran has said, he is your Master’. The voice belonged to a woman, but a voice he had never heard of ‘Because he thinks I’m an idiot and not able to do my job’. Dante let go of his head and continued to walked down the corridor ‘He knows about who you are and thinks your breaking your promise’. Dante walked down the stairs ‘I never break a promise, Juri was the only Kuran who showed kindness to me since her ancestor Kaname’. Dante walked through the corridor, he could smell Vampires ‘Then prove him wrong, Dante’. Dante turned around and saw no one “Who voice does that belong to”? Dante shook his head and continued walking down the corridor, the smell of Vampires got stronger, he stopped at a door and opened the doors and saw crimson red eyes looking at him “Shit, never knew there would be this many Vampires”. Dante saw Kaname, he stood up from his chair and walked down the stairs “I was hoping you would find your way in here, Dante”. Dante closed the doors and looked at Kaname, he stopped at the end of the stairs “So, I take it these guys in here are your pawns or something”. Kaname smirked “You really can read the minds of your Masters, what else can your kind do that I don’t know about”? Dante shrugged “Can’t say, these morons here might get a bit annoyed”. Dante scanned the room and saw the Night Class looking at him “Besides I do think you are an idiot, you just sit there reading that book each night”. Dante knew that some of the students get up to attack Dante “It’s alright, he’s a joker, everyone I want you to meet Dante Cross, he’s going to be our school doctor”. Dante looked at the students and saw Takuma who got up and walked down the stairs “I know you’ve met Vice President Takuma Ichijo”. Dante and Takuma shook hands “It’s good to see you again Dante, never knew you would be a Doctor”. Dante shrugged “Dante Cross, I’ve heard of that name before”. Dante looked at the students at a girl with long pale blonde hair, Dante saw that it was the girl Ruka “You’re the author of ‘Vampire’s Tears’ aren’t you”? Dante shrugged “That book was my first, I’m surprised that you Vampires read it, or are the ones that see it and say ‘it’s a shit book I should be bothered reading it’”? Ruka looked at Dante “I did read it, and I found it really sad, you sure know how to make someone cry don’t you”. Dante just looked at her “Not really, all that was based on actual characters, real Vampires that I know, but each one is either dead or hiding”. Dante looked at Kaname “Anyway I have to get going, I have to make sure twiddledee and twiddledum are doing their jobs”. Dante turned around towards the door “Does Yuki know about you”? Dante stopped dead at the door, he turned around and looked at Kaname “No, and I’d like to keep it that way”. Dante walked out of the room into the corridors “Fucker”.

 Dante woke up in the infirmary, he looked around “Shit, what happened last night”? Dante only remembered leaving Kaname and the Night Class then heading to the infirmary but that was it, he heard someone knocking at the doors, he got up and walked it the doors and opened it to see two young Day Class students standing at the door “Excuse me, you are Dante Cross right”? Dante yawned “Yeah, how can I help you”? Dante saw a bundle of flowers in their hands “We want to welcome you by giving these to you”. Dante was handed the flowers and then two copies of his book ‘Vampire’s Tears’ “Could we also get your autograph”? Dante put the flowers on the bench next to him, took out a pen from his pocket and sighed inside of the book. He handed them back to them and they held the books tightly “Thank you”. Dante watched as they ran off, he was looking at their bums as they ran, he shook his head when he realised what he was doing ‘Snap out of it’. Dante closed the door and looked at the flowers, he looked for a glass, filled it with water and put the flowers into the glass of water “Now all I have to do is just sit around and wait for something”. Dante sighed and then thought about his laptop, he took out his phone and dialled in a number, it rang and someone picked up “Hey Kaien, could you go into my room and go and get my laptop”? Dante heard crying “Why do you want that, you have students to take care of and you want to write your book”. Dante rolled his eyes “If you get it I’ll cook tonight”. Dante heard silence “For a whole week and you have a deal”. Dante cursed under his breath “Alright for the week, now can you go and get it”. Dante heard the phone hang up and he put it back into his pocket “Stupid bastard”. Dante looked at the hanger and saw a white coat hanging on it, he took off his navy blue coat and put the white coat on “Now I feel like a doctor”. Dante heard the door knock again, he opened it and saw a male student carrying and female student “What happened”? Dante let the male student in and he put the female student on one of the beds “She fell and sprained her ankle, she also hit her head pretty hard”. Dante checked her head and felt the back of her head was wet, he looked at his hand and saw blood “You can go back to class, I’ll take care of her”. The male student left the infirmary and Dante sat the girl up “Where… am I”? Dante saw the girl was waking up “You’re in the infirmary, I want you to tell me your”. The girl looked at Dante “Um… Judy Parkinson”. Dante took out a light and checked her pupils “You’ll be fine, I’m going to stitch the back of your head and then I’ll check your foot”. Judy felt the back of her head and saw the blood, she cried in pain and shock “Judy look at me”. Judy looked at Dante “I’m going to give you some medicine for the pain, I need you to be strong though, I know it hurts but you going to have to bear with it, ok”. Judy nodded and Dante walked to the medicine cabinet and took out a container of painkillers, and took out two pills and got a glass of water, he handed them to Judy and she took them just as the doors opened, Kaien walked in holding Dante’s laptop, he looked at Judy “What happened”? Dante put on a pair of rubber gloves and took out his stitching   gear “She fell down hitting her head and sprained her ankle, put my laptop on my desk and get out”. Kaien did so but looked at Judy “What’s her name”? Dante told Judy to sit on the edge of the bed “Her name is Judy Parkinson, why you going to call her parents”. Judy looked concerned “Please don’t call them, if they hear about this, they’ll take me out of this school”. Dante looked at Kaien, he smiled “Alright, but if they call me asking about that, I’ll blame Dante here”. Dante frowned and started stitching the wound, Kaien walked out leaving Dante and Judy alone “So how do you know the Headmaster”? Dante was half way done “Believe it or not, I’m his adoptive son”. Judy laughed “Like Yuki Cross, are you two related”. Dante wished he was “No, we have different parents but I knew her when she first came to Kaien, but I hate talking about that”. Dante had finished and put a bandage around her head so it covered the stitches “Now let’s have a looked at this ankle”. Dante felt it and Judy winced a bit “Well there’s good news, your ankle isn’t sprained, you might have just hit it”. Judy smiled and Dante took out the container of pain killers from his pocket “Take these every six hours, it will get rid of the pain, come back in a week and I’ll check on it”. Judy stood up and bowed “Thank you Doctor Cross”. Dante watched as she limped out of the infirmary.

 Dante walked through the corridors, he wore his black sunglasses as he walked through the school grounds, he saw students walk around as they changed classes “Yuki’s brother, what are you doing here”? Dante turned around and saw Yuki’s friend Yori Wakaba “Oh I’m walking around, where’s Yuki”? Yori shrugged “I’ve been looking for her, she missed first period, and I was concerned about her”. Dante looked at Yori “Well, I’m sure she’s alright, besides she might’ve fallen asleep somewhere, check there”. Yori nodded “Wait before you go, I’ll give you two a slip so that you don’t get into trouble”. Dante took out a pad and wrote on it, he tore of the paper and handed it to Yori “Thank you”. Dante watched as she walked off “So Dante Cross, what do you plan on doing to that girl”. Dante turned to see Kaname standing behind him “Nothing, just making sure she finds Yuki and that they get to class, why you think I’m going to feed on her or something”. Kaname just stared at him “I want you to do your job as a doctor and stay in the infirmary”. Dante sighed and looked at the morning sky “You know you can’t order me around all the time, you should know that, and besides I’m doing my job thank you very much but I need to think about my new book”. Kaname smiled and crossed his arms “I hope you find something, your last book was pretty interesting”. Dante was surprised at what he had said “Have fun then”. Dante watched as Kaname walked away, Dante turned the other way and walked back to the infirmary.

 Dante had three more people come into the infirmary, each one was a female student. When it was coming to dusk Dante sat at his desk and opened up his laptop, he looked at his wallpaper, it was a picture of him, Yuki, Kaname and Kaien, Dante smiled at it, it was a of the birthday Yuki had organised for him, she was eleven back then, and it had been the first time he had people celebrate his birthday. Dante knew he wasn’t born, like the Vampires and Humans, he appeared the Earth, but he knew the day he was created, Dante opened up world and looked at the blank page, he had been thinking of a title since he had arrived “Man, why does this part have to be so fucking hard”. Dante looked out the window and saw the Moon Dorm Gate, he knew that the Night Class were coming into the building, he looked back at the blank screen and pressed enter till he got a new page “You seem like you need help”. Dante turned around to see Takuma, Dante adjusted his glasses “Yeah, if you know a great story, give me some ideas”. Takuma walked in and looked at laptop “Hmm… Why not write a book about this all of this, what’s has happened”. Dante thought about that idea, but never thought it would work “Really, you think that’s a good idea”. Takuma smiled “I’m sure it is”. Dante smiled and put his hand on Takuma’s shoulder “Takuma, what would the Night Class do without you”. Takuma put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “Thank you Dante, anyway I’ve got to get going, I think Kaname would want to know where I am”. Dante sighed “Yeah, but before you go, what should I call it”? Takuma shrugged “I don’t know, but whatever it is, it should be something that gives it a good name”. Dante watched as Takuma walked out of the infirmary, Dante looked at his laptop and smiled “This one’s about you, Yuki”.

 Dante walked back to the Headmaster’s cottage, he hand his navy blue coat over his shoulders and laptop in the other hand, he opened the door and put his coat on the coat hanger, he walked down the hallway, he heard voices coming from the bathroom, he opened the door and saw Yuki looking at the shower door “Whose in there, Zero”? Yuki jumped and threw her hair drier at his head, it cut the skin and blood poured from his forehead “Dante, I’m sorry”. Dante put his hand over the wound and felt it had healed “Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt or anything”. Yuki took Dante’s hand and rubbed her face against it “It’s been a while since I felt your hands touch my face”. Dante looked at Yuki “I’ve missed you”. Yuki hugged Dante and he felt her tears as it went through his shirt “Yuki, I have missed you as well, but you have others that you should care about more, like Zero, Kaien and Yori”. Yuki looked up at Dante “And Kaname”? Dante smiled, he put his hand on Yuki’s cheek “And Kaname”. Dante wiped her tears away “And speaking of Kaien, I hope he some food for me, I haven’t eaten all day and most of the time I have been seeing blood and it makes me hungry”. Dante looked down and saw a Band-Aid on Yuki’s hand, he took her hand and looked at it “Who bit you”? Yuki looked embarrassed “It’s nothing, I scrapped it on a branch”? Dante raised an eyebrow, Yuki sighed “Ok, it was Aido Hanabusa, he bit me but Zero stopped him before he could do anymore harm”. Dante let go of Yuki’s hand and looked at the shower door “Thank you Zero, for protecting her”. Dante heard a groan and walked out of the bathroom “Anyway, Yuki if you have any problems, you can come to me, or need help with anything say school work or need someone to be hit, I’ll be happy to do that”. Yuki smiled and bowed “I will keep that in mind, Dante”. Dante walked to his room and opened it, he put his laptop on his desk and but it on charge, he looked at his bed and saw the black case that Kaien had shown him yesterday, Dante opened it and saw his sword and two guns, he closed it and put it under the bed, he lay down on the bed and in minutes, fell asleep.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Second Night: Dante woke up to hear Yuki’s voice “Rise and Shine Dante”. Dante sat up, his eye lids felt heavy, he managed to open them and saw Yuki wearing her school uniform, and she looked tired as well “I see your up early, why”? Yuki showed Dante a recipe “I need your help with this, I need to make it for tomorrow”. Dante thought hard about what tomorrow was “Easter”? Yuki put her hands on her hips “No, it’s Valentine’s Day, the event where all the female students give chocolates to the Night Class boys”. Dante had forgotten about Valentine’s Day, he preferred to call it Chaos Day “And why do you need my help, I’m not making chocolates for any of the boys, or is this for Kaname”. Yuki blushed and looked away “No, I’m making these for… Yes”. Dante smiled and got out of the bed, he looked around for his shirt, Yuki looked at the scars on his back “What happened there”? Dante found his shirt and put it on “I had some fights, Hunter blades hurt like hell and one of them scarred my back”. Dante put the shirt on and looked for his boots “Anyway, what’s so good about Valentine’s Day, I never saw a point in the event, all you do is give chocolates to those you love or something like that”. Dante grabbed his boots and walked out of his room “Please help me, I know you can cook sweets well”. Dante walked to the kitchen and took out a bowl, a box of cereal and milk and make himself breakfast “I haven’t made that in a while, besides if you do it on your own, Kaname will probably know it was made by you, anyways shouldn’t you be going to class”. Yuki panicked at what Dante had said and ran out of the kitchen, Dante heard the door close and he started eating his cereal. Dante finished it, put the bowl in the sink, washed it, put his boots on, grabbed his laptop, grabbed his coat and walked out of the cottage, he took out his sunglasses and put them on “I hate the fucking sun”. Dante wished he hadn’t stayed with the council for the four years he was away.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante entered the infirmary, swapped coats and sat down and opened his laptop, he opened the word document and looked at what he had written so far and was happy about it, he heard a knock at the door and walked to it, he opened it to see Zero standing at the door with a gun pointed at his face “What kind of a sick Vampire are you”? Dante didn’t flinch “I think you should put that away Zero, before someone gets hurt”. Dante put his hand on the gun and he was zapped but he didn’t care “Bloody Rose I see, but won’t be enough to kill me”. Dante put Zero into the infirmary and closed the door locking it, he turned to face Zero but was able to deflect a punch “I asked you a question, and I want an answer”. Dante sighed and walked to his desk, he sat down and leaned on his hand “I’m not a Vampire, but something stronger”. Dante looks at door, his eyes flash violet and a flash comes from the door “So no one hears us, as I was saying, I am what you would call a creature from hell, a Demon, we look like Vampires but unlike them we have more power”. Zero looked at Dante, he took a seat on one of the beds “When Vampires came to the world with Humans, our kind came in as well, we made a deal with the Vampires and we sided with them becoming their servants or in other words, their dogs, each Demon is a Purebloods servant, I am a Kuran Demon”. Zero’s eyes widened as he said this “You are Kaname’s servant”. Dante shrugged “I don’t know, when Kaname’s mother died she was about to give me to him but something happened and they both died, I can’t take proper orders from him and I have a weak bound with him, but I have no intention of hurting Yuki”. Zero looked down at the ground “And why is that, because you’re going to devour her or something”. Dante moved fast and had Zero by the throat “I would never hurt her, Yuki told you that Kaname saved her life ten years ago am I correct”. Zero gritted his teeth “I was also saved her that night, there were more than one Vampire, they would’ve gotten to her if I hadn’t been there, so think about who and what I am, because as long as I’m here, Yuki is under my protection, as well as yours”. Zero looked at Dante confused, Dante let go of Zero and walked back to his desk “What do you mean”? Dante looked back at Zero “What I am saying is, that something bad will happen, Kaname won’t be able to save Yuki, neither will I, but you can, and I trust you”. Zero looked at Dante, he sighed and got up “And why me, why not the Headmaster or one of them Vampires”. Dante crossed his arms “That will come to sense to you, in time, but right now you better get to class and watch over her”. Zero nodded and Dante took the spell from the door and Zero left.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante was called to Yuki’s class, Dante was pissed that he had to go there but he was hoping she wasn’t hurt. Dante entered the classroom and saw Yuki “Uh… Doctor Cross”. Dante looked at the teacher, she was around forty-nine, Dante could see wrinkles under her eyes and some greys in her hair “I was hoping you’d stop by to tell your sister what she should do in class”. Dante looked at Yuki, she felt embarrassed, Dante smiled “I’ll put it in some simple steps, step 1: relax, step 2: don’t listen to a word your teacher is saying, and step 3: sleep and think about your homework going into flames”. The classroom laughed, Dante looked at the teacher, she had her arms crossed and was tapping her foot “Hey, I’m the schools doctor, not the Headmaster, besides I can deal with her later”. Dante was about to walk out of the classroom when someone called for him “Um… Doctor Cross, will you be writing another book”? Dante looked at the girl, she had glasses, brown hair that was tied up in a pigtails “I’m working on it right now”. All the girls gasped and raised their hands “Is it another love story with the Vampires and magic”? Dante shrugged “It is, but I’ve making it quite the story, there will be new characters, a new place, some new mysteries and of course, a dramatic love story that could lead to a death scene”. All the girls were happy about this, Dante walked out of the classroom before things got out of hand ‘If there’s going to be death here, it will be by my hands”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood in the Headmaster’s officer “This event should be cancelled”. Dante looked at Zero and Yuki “If I cancel it, there would be riots by the girls and I don’t want your jobs to get any harder”. Dante walked to one of the cupboards and opened it revealing scotch “I still thinks it’s a stupid thing to be called an event, giving stuff to them Vampires”. Dante poured himself a full glass and put the scotch back into the cupboard “Hey what are you doing, that stuff will burn your throat”. Dante shrugged and started to drink it, he felt a small burn but it was taken over by the flavour, when he finished it he put the glass on the Headmaster’s desk “I really needed that”. Dante yawned and went to the door “Wait I forgot to give you these”. Dante stopped and looked at Yuki, she handed him a piece of paper, Dante took it and opened it, it said ‘a coupon to Yuki’s massage’. Dante smiled “That’s cute, I’ll use this sometime but right now, I have a book to write”. Dante opened the door but Yuki was out dragging Zero with her, Dante looked at the Headmaster and could see he was happy, Dante rolled his eyes and walked out of the room closing the door ‘Dante, I need you to come to me’. Dante knew that Kaname was in his head, he sighed and walked down the corridor ‘I’ll be there’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood at the doors of the Moon Dorm, the doors opened and the Night Class students came out “What’s he doing here”? Dante knew that the student who said that was Aido Hanabusa, the one that bit Yuki “I called for him, or is that a problem, Aido”. Aido turned to see Kaname “But he’s a De”. Before Aido could finish, Kaname backhanded him “I want you to watch what you say to him”. Dante looked at Kaname “You don’t have to worry, or are you worried that I would of killed him”. Kaname smiled “If you did, I would have you killed”. Dante smiled showing his fangs “I would drain you before you could react or crush your body”. Aido and Ruka seemed to have reacted, Kaname laughed “You still have that evil humour, but you weren’t so serious ten years ago, were you”. Dante’s fangs disappeared into his mouth and he looked away “Yeah, but then again, I wish I was able to save your mother”. Dante felt Kaname’s hand go on his shoulder “Come on, I need you to walk us out tonight and tomorrow”. Dante looked at Kaname “Sure, but I have to get back to the infirmary, I have things to do”. Kaname and the others went, Dante followed them ‘This is going to suck badly’. Dante saw the doors open and heard the Day Class females cry the names of the Night Class, he put his hands in his pockets and walked behind them, he saw Yuki and Zero “Why is Dante Cross walking with the Night Class, did something happen”? Dante then felt a burn on his wrist, he knew it was the marking ‘Does it hurt’? Dante looked at Kaname ‘No’. Dante then saw that Kaname walked to Zero, he said something but Dante couldn’t hear due to the cry’s from the Day Class students, he watched Kaname walk away and Dante followed “Dante, why are you walking with them”. Dante looked back at Yuki “I don’t know, Kaname wants me to walk with them, I don’t know why but he has a reason for it”. Dante looked at Zero “I’ll see you tonight”. Dante followed Kaname and the Night Class ‘Watch what you say Dante’. Dante rolled his eyes, put on his glasses and walked after them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat in the infirmary, he was enjoying the quiet, he opened up his laptop and looked at his emails, he had one new message, it was from his editor, and it read:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> ‘To Dante Cross

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> The publishers are wanting you to write your new book, they want you to have it in next month, if not handed in, you will lose your career as an author and will never be given another chance, I’m so sorry.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Your editor

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Maryanne Hughs’

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sighed and rubbed his eyes “You seem down tonight”. Dante looked and saw Aido, Ruka and another male with them, he had flame orange hair and brown hair “Aido what are we doing here”? Aido walked in and went straight to Dante “And what’s it to you, ice boy”? Aido threw Dante’s laptop to the ground breaking it “Shut up, you piece of trash”. Dante sighed and took off his glasses, he picked up the broken laptop and put it on the desk “You shouldn’t have done that”. Aido looked at him “You hate Lord Kaname don’t you, I knew something wasn’t right when you entered the school, what are you”. Dante put his hand around Aido’s neck and choked him “You’re calling me pathetic, you don’t think before saying, and you just destroyed my laptop that had my new book in it”. Dante looked at Aido, his eyes were violet “Let him go”. Dante felt a burn on his shoulder, he saw that it was on fire, with his other hand, he put it in the flames and it changed colour to violet “Fire proof”. Dante threw the fire at the male with the orange hair but he and Ruka dodged it, Dante then saw both of them stick their hands through him, he let go of Aido and grabbed their hands and pulled them out “Impossible”. Dante pulled them together making them hit their heads together and then threw them across the room “Enough Dante, I will take it from here”. Dante saw Kaname standing at the door “Lord Kaname, we were just”. Kaname backhanded Aido “You attack my servant, and wound him, now the smell of blood reeks around here”. Dante looked back at his laptop and sighed “You are lucky I can fix this”. Dante put his hand on it and a black sphere went around it, when it faded the laptop had been fixed “Lord Kaname, that man, what is he”? Dante looked back at Ruka “Akatsuki, Ruka, Aido, Dante here isn’t Yuki’s brother”. They looked at Dante, who put his glasses back on “He is a Kuran servant and has been doing so since the first Kuran walked this Earth, he is a Demon, one of the first”. They looked at Dante who was more worried about his laptop “But I thought they were extinct”. Dante laughed at that “Yeah, there’s about the same amount of purebloods alive, each one belongs to a pureblood family, some of us are getting killed by Hunters even by Vampires, so yeah we soon will be extinct”. Dante yawned and looked at the time “Man I am tired, and luckily this isn’t broken, anyway I have to go and help Yuki with something”. Dante grabbed his laptop and walked to the door when Seiren stood in front of him “I want you three to never say a word of Dante, is that understood”. Dante looked at Aido, Ruka and Akatsuki “We understand Lord Kaname”. Kaname looked at Dante “Protect Yuki, Lord Dante”. Dante hadn’t been called that since last year by his Demon followers “An I will, Master Kaname”. Dante walked down the corridor away from Kaname and the others.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante entered the house, he put his coat on the coat hanger walked to his room and put his laptop on charge and walked to the kitchen to hear yelps and crashing sounds, Dante walked in to see Yuki on the floor with a metal bowl in her hands “You having trouble”? Yuki looked at Dante, he helped her up “Yeah, I can’t make anything without hurting myself, what took you so long anyway”. Dante shrugged “Kaname kept me back to talk about something, and I had to read an email from my editor”. Dante took an apron and put it on “What did your editor say”? Dante took a knife and cut a block of chocolate “She said that if I don’t write up a book by next month, I’ll lose my career as a author and no one will ever publish any of my books”. Yuki looked at Dante, she hugged him and rubbed her head on his back “Why does the world have to be so cruel to you, brother”? Dante was surprised she had called him that, she had only called him that ten years ago when she first was able to talk “I don’t know, I don’t know”. Dante turned around and hugged Yuki, even though they were siblings, Dante felt like she was “Anyway, let’s at least make one homemade chocolate, who would you give it to”. Yuki let go of Dante and looked away “I want to give it to Kaname, as my gratitude for what he did ten years ago”. Dante looked at her “Give it to Zero”. Yuki looked at Dante “He’s been there for you as well as Kaname, he’s been broken since four years ago, I can tell”. Yuki looked at the chopped chocolate “You’re right, I will make one successful one for Zero, but what about Kaname, I won’t have time to go to the shops”. Dante took a small chocolate box from his pocket “Here, I bought this whilst you were on break, I was going to eat it but the thought of you failing at this came to my head, you’re lucky I’m around”. Yuki punched Dante multiple times “You knew I was going to fail, what kind of supportive brother are you”. Dante took the punches but they didn’t bother him “A very supportive one”. Yuki sighed and put the chopped chocolate into a bowl and added milk and other ingredients into the bowl “What did you do for the past four years Dante, I mean, you left a present for me but you never said good-bye, why”. Dante looked at Yuki, he put his hand on her head and rubbed her hair “I might as well tell, I left because there was someone I knew, they had been turned into a Vampire and needed my help, I couldn’t say good-bye because I didn’t want to see you cry, I went to Moscow and found her locked up in her house, and for the past four years I have been helping her, but never knew it was going to take that long, I was going to call, even write but I got distracted”. Yuki looked at Dante with a smile “You didn’t have to worry about me, I was fine, I’m just glad you’re back, that’s all”. Dante smiled and put the used board and utensils into the sink and washed them “You know, I think Yori has a crush on you”. Dante frowned and looked at her “Really, you’re talking about your best friend behind her back, that’s just sad”. Yuki shrugged “Not my fault, I was just telling you ok, don’t have to get angry, or do you like her back”. Dante looked away embarrassed “Shut up and continue mixing that”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood outside of the moon dorm again, he yawned and looked at the gate, he heard the cries from the girls of the Day Class “Man they’re loud, just like the fucking Russians”. Dante heard the door open and saw Kaname and the Night Class come out “You know Dante, you don’t have to wait out here, you can come inside”. Dante shrugged “I like the outdoors, the wind blowing on my face and the sound of birds, hell even the bats make amazing sounds, besides I don’t think the other Vampires would want me in there except for Takuma”. Takuma smiled “I like your company Dante, you are quite a nice guy, your cool, brave and a ladies man”. Dante smiled and thank Takuma for his complements, they walked to the gate and it opened, Dante saw lines of girls standing behind stands, each stand had each Night Class students name, Dante saw his and looked confused, he saw Yuki explaining the rules of what happens, Dante wasn’t paying attention till he saw Aido run ahead and Kaname pull him back into line “Dante, you have a stand, so go and receive your chocolates”. Dante looked at Yuki “Is this a prank or something”? Yuki shrugged “The girls have been talking about you and some wanted to give you chocolates”. Dante sighed and looked at his stand “Do you have your chocolate”. Yuki tapped her pocket “Already”. Dante smiled and rubbed Yuki’s head “Then go and hand it to him when you can”. Dante walked to his stand “Hello ladies”. The girls squealed and handed him chocolates, he took them then he saw Yori, she held a box of chocolate in her hands “I see your hands are full”? Dante shrugged and put some chocolates into his pockets “I can take one more”. Yori handed him her chocolate “I’m giving this to you as a welcome, not like the others, I’m doing this for Yuki and because you are kind of a nice guy”. Yori walked away before Dante could thank her, he sighed and walked away ‘Why is it so hard to talk to a girl’? Looked back at Yuki and saw that she had missed her chance of giving her chocolate to Kaname, he looked at Kaname but then heard Zero call his name and saw Yuki’s chocolate fly into his hand “You seemed to have gotten a lot of chocolates”. Dante looked at Takuma, he had a bunch of chocolates in his arms “You’re one to talk, you probably need a wheelbarrow for that”. Dante and Takuma laughed and walked towards the classroom dorm.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat in the infirmary eating his chocolates and reading some of the cards, some said ‘I love you’, others said ‘You’re a handsome devil’. Dante looked at Yori’s, it said ‘Have fun working at this academy with your sister and her classmates’. Dante put the card on his desk and looked at it, he looked at her chocolate and put it next to the card “I’ll leave this one for last”. Dante looked at the time, it was twelve o’clock, Dante went to open his laptop when he realised he had left it on his desk at the house, he swore and got up and walked out of the infirmary “I hate it when I get distracted by things and forget something”. He walked down the corridor when he saw the moon, he saw that it was full “The moon, the symbol for us dark creatures, but also a symbol of peace”. Dante sighed and smiled “I should write this down and use it for the book”. Dante took out a notepad and wrote the sentence in it “Hey Dante, how’s the book”? Dante looked up and saw Takuma walking towards him “Alright, I just have to write about tonight and I should be up to date, what you doing, I thought you would be in class”. Takuma sighed and put his hand to his head “The others seemed to not be in the classroom, I just went to look for them, but can’t seem to find them”. Dante looked out the window and saw Aido “I found Aido, he’s coming this way with the others”. Takuma looked out the window and saw them “Oh, they went to attack Zero”. Dante looked at Takuma confused “How do you know”? Takuma sighed and looked at Dante “Because they hate Zero, he talks back at Kaname and says this about him, they want him dead so they wouldn’t have to see Kaname worried about dealing with him later on”. Dante looked back out the window at Aido and the others “They don’t really know what Kaname wants, he wants Yuki, but can’t have her”. Takuma looked at Dante “Yuki is precious to Kaname, as she is to me, even though we are not siblings, I feel like we are, and I wish no harm to her, you do understand right”. Takuma smiled and bowed “I understand completely, Dante, now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll take them to Dorm President Kuran”. Dante watched as Takuma walked away, Dante like Takuma, he was the only Vampire in this academy that was nice to him, Dante continued to walk down the corridor, to make time fly by.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Third Night: Dante stood in the shower, the warm water loosened his muscles, he had been at the academy for nearly a week and had so many people come into the infirmary with injuries, most of them were girls who had hurt themselves falling down stairs or hurt their ankles by tripping over something, but when the boys came in, they were crying in pain and complaining, till Dante had told them that they had only a grazed knee or arm, Dante dried himself and got stepped out of the shower with his towel around his waist, he grabbed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom, Yuki came around the corner and shielded her eyes “Put some clothes on”. Dante rolled his eyes and walked past her to his room “I am, just not in there because of that damn lock”. Dante closed the door behind him and put on his pants. He dried himself and put on his white long sleeved shirt and black boots and walked out, he hang up his towel and went into the dining room, Yuki and Zero were already seated, Dante sat down and looked at the food on the table “What’s all this for, are we having a feast or something”? Dante saw Kaien come in with a tray “It’s a special breakfast I have made for you guys, because today you two will be doing inspections for both the Day and Night Class dorms”. Dante yawned and grabbed a plate, he put some food on it and started eating it “As for you Dante, you have a letter, from a Miss Victoria Hemsworth”. Dante froze, that name belonged to a renegade Demon that killed her Pureblood Masters and disappeared, Dante took the letter and read it

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> ‘Dear Dante

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> I was hoping you hadn’t forgotten about me, I have been looking for you for the past four years but knew you would come back, so I want to see you today, down at the town square at dusk, come alone with no weapons or anything.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Love Victoria Hemsworth

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> P.S. I hope you will enjoy seeing me’

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante closed the letter and put it in his pocket “Whose Victoria Hemsworth”? Dante looked at Yuki “Don’t worry, she’s a rival author”. Yuki took a while to understand till she was back to eating her breakfast. Dante had finished and walked away from the table “Where are you going”? Dante looked back at Kaien “I have work to do, besides what else do you except me to do, sit around and play board games with you, I think not”. Kaien cried and complained to Yuki and Zero, Dante rolled his eyes, he grabbed his coat and left the cottage, his eyes had adjusted to the sun, he was glad about that.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante had read the letter from Victoria more than a hundred times ‘What does she want, forgiveness’? Dante closed the letter and rubbed his eyes. He heard a knock on the door “Come in”. The door opened and Dante saw Kaien walk in “What do you want”? Kaien closed the door “I want to know about this Victoria Hemsworth”. Dante looked away, he looked at the chocolate box and card from yesterday “Her name is just Victoria, her last name is something she chose, like how I chose your last name Cross, she is another Demon but is wanted for kill her Pureblood Master, I don’t know why but she disappeared after that incident, we all thought her dead till this letter”. Kaien looked at Dante “Are you going to meet her”? Dante sighed and looked at Kaien “I am, and no one can stop me, if she wants something, I’m going to find out what it is”. The door opened again and two girls came in “What happened”? Dante stood up from his chair and helped the injured one onto the bed “We were waiting for the prefects to do our inspections when a crow came to our window, we tried to shoo it away but it pecked at her hand then wouldn’t let go, but when it did, it dropped this”. The girl handed a small green gem to Kaien, he looked at it then handed it to Dante, when it touched Dante, he felt a shock, he gripped it “What’s wrong”? Dante looked at Kaien “I’ll clean this up and give you some pain killers to take away the pain”. Dante put a bandage around the girls hand, gave her some pain killers and watched as they left, Dante looked back at Kaien “This is a Demons gem, each of us have one, I gave my one to Juri, it was the violet one”. Kaien nodded “This one belongs to another, his name was Zach, he was my second in command, and from what I have seen, he was murdered by Victoria”. Kaien’s eyes “What do you think she is doing, trying to draw you out”. Dante shook his head “She’s trying to outrank me”. Kaien looked at Dante confused “I am the leader of a council called the Demon order, we are the ones who keep the Pureblood Vampires in line, but I keep all the Demons and Purebloods in line, if they step out of line, I have the power to kill both kinds, as a full blooded Demon, it is one of our abilities”. Dante took off his glasses and put them on his desk “How many Purebloods have you killed”? Dante smiled, his fangs showing “A lot, but I only killed them when my Pureblood Master had asked me to do so, but if for Demons, I have killed too many, some were mostly the one that had been with me when our kind first came to this world”. Dante looked at the time and saw that the sun was going down “I have to go anyway”. Dante took off his white coat and took his navy blue one and put it on “Here, take this just in case”. Kaien held a M1911 handgun in his hand, Dante looked at it “I know it won’t kill her, but if you bound it with your blood or something, you can be able to kill her”. Dante took it and examined it “Yeah, but just a heads up, it might not come back in one piece”. Dante put the gun in his pocket and walked out of the infirmary “Just make sure no one comes in here whilst I’m gone”. Dante walked down the corridor away from the infirmary.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood in the middle of the town square, there were some Human civilians walking around smiling, Dante looked around but couldn’t see Victoria, Dante sighed and went to walk away till he saw a woman wearing white stood across him, she had a white umbrella and white sunglasses, she smiled at him “It’s been far too long Dante”. Dante looked at the woman “How long, eight years Victoria, it’s been since we last met”. Victoria smiled and took off her sunglasses showing her pink eyes “I see you haven’t changed”. Dante looked around at the Humans “I don’t really want to do this out here”. Dante then heard a scream, he knew whose scream that belonged to “Yuki”. Dante was about to run when he felt a sting in his back, he looked back at Victoria and saw that she had electricity dancing around her hands, the Humans screamed and ran away, Dante took out the M1911 that Kaien had given him and aimed it at Victoria, he fired it at Victoria but she had dodged each bullet that he had fired, she shot more electricity at him but he dodged it this time but the Humans behind him had been hit the bolt killing them “Come on Lord Dante, fight me like the creature you truly are”. Dante had to get to Yuki, Dante clicked his fingers making a bright light blind Victoria, Dante ran to where he had heard Yuki’s scream “Nice little trick but it won’t stop me”. Dante looked back and saw that Victoria was running after him, Dante then saw Vampires come out and looked at him ‘Level E’s, what the hell’. Dante used his Demon speed to out run them but he saw more Level E Vampires blocking his path, he stopped and looked back at Victoria and the Level E’s with her “There’s nowhere left for you Dante, I shall kill you and become the new leader for the Demon   Order”. Dante swore under his breath, he then felt something he hadn’t felt since ten years, he put out his hand and a sword flew into his hand, it was the sword he had given up since the incident ten years ago “That sword, the sword that slays our kind and the Vampires, Lucifer”. Dante gripped Lucifers hilt and slashed the air cutting the Level E’s that were blocking his path into two, he looked at Victoria and the other two remaining Level E’s “Kill him, for you Master”. The Level E’s snared and charged at Dante, he cut them both down with one blow making them turn to ash, Dante felt power from the sword flow through his arm ‘This power, my true power is in this sword and is flowing through me’. Dante looked at Victoria, she looked scared, she growled at him “I’ll be back as will my Master”. Electricity went around her and she disappeared, Dante looked at where she stood for a while then looked down at Lucifer, then sighed “Looks like I broke my promise”. Dante flicked the blade wiping off any blood on it, he saw a blanket and wrapped the sword in it hiding it, he remember Yuki but then felt Kaname’s presence in the area “She’ll be safe then, but as for me, I’d better get out of here, before any Hunters come”. Dante ran away from the area as people saw nothing but piles of ash and torn clothes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat in the infirmary looking at his sword Lucifer, it lay on one of the beds “It’s been a while since I have seen that cursed blade”. Dante looked at the door and saw Kaname standing at the door way with his arms crossed “Why is it out”? Dante shrugged “I was attacked by another Demon, she used someone’s Level E’s to assassinate me, but I called for Lucifer and it came to me, but I didn’t want to use it, it was just an old habit”. Dante looked at the blade, he saw his reflection then saw a darker form, he looked away in disgusted, he stood up and looked out the window “Why didn’t you kill her”? Dante turned to face Kaname put he was in front of him and had his hand around Dante’s throat and squeezed hard “You let a dangerous creature live and run lose, and come back here”. Dante tried to breath but felt Kaname’s nails break into his skin, Dante felt weak and felt like death was coming to take him “Kaname, stop it right now”. Kaname let go of Dante, Dante saw Kaien standing in the door way “He let one of his own go, and you are preventing me from killing him”. Dante regained his breath and looked at Kaien “I want to speak to you in my office right now Kaname”. Dante watched as Kaname and Kaien left the infirmary ‘If you see that creature again, I want her dead’. Dante held his neck and felt his wounds heal, Dante got up and looked at Lucifer, he touch the blade and looked at it “I gave up this blade, now it is time for it to be used once more”. Dante put Lucifer down and took off his navy blue coat, he saw the hole that Victoria’s bolt had made “Shit, I really like this jacket, looks like I’ll have to get a new one”. Dante sighed and set the coat on fire with his blue flames, and watched it burn, he dropped it to the ground but then smelt blood “Yuki”. Dante ran out of the infirmary and ran towards the smell of blood, he stopped at the stairs to see Zero with blood around his mouth and Yuki holding her neck “Yuki”. Dante saw Kaname walk down the stairs, he looked up the stairs at them, he knew that Kaname intended to kill Zero, Dante ran up the stairs and stood between Zero and Kaname “Kaname stop”. Kaname stuck his hand into Dante’s chest, his blood splashed onto Zero, Yuki watched weakly, Kaname took out his hand and Dante stepped back holding his chest “You have fail to kill the other creature, and now you protect this one”. Dante looked up at Kaname “Kaname stop”. Yuki stood in the way put past out, Zero caught her and looked at her “How did it taste”? Dante coughed up blood and looked at Kaname “As for you, next time you fail me, I will make sure the last Pure Demon dies”. Dante watched as Kaname took Yuki and walked away, Dante slowly got up holding his chest “Zero, go to your dorm and get yourself cleaned up”. Dante groaned in pain and walked back down the stairs back to the infirmary ‘Zero has now joined the creatures of darkness, but Kaname will try to kill him, and I must protect him no matter what’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Fourth Night: Dante walked towards the infirmary when Kaname walked out of it, he saw Dante and his eyes glowed crimson red, he made Dante’s wound bleed more, Dante winced in pain and gripped his chest “You’re lucky I’m letting you live, as well as Zero”. He walked past Dante, but Dante got back up “I’m not afraid of you Kaname, I’ve lived through more things than your pathetic kind, and I will not allow you to keep Yuki to yourself, I may not be her brother, but is the only family I have”. Kaname looked back at Dante “Then if you want to protect her, stay away from her”. Dante watched as Kaname walked away leaving Dante in the corridor alone, Dante walked into the infirmary and saw Yuki and Kaien, Dante walked to the bed where Lucifer lay and took it “Dante, what did Kaname want”? Dante walked to the door “Dante”. Dante stopped and looked at Yuki “Yuki, Kaname wants me to keep away from you, and I think it’s best for that”. Kaien stood up “You’re actually following that order, but you’re a Demon, why follow an order now”. Dante gritted his teeth, he smashed his hand into the door frame making it bleed “I don’t want to see Yuki get hurt, I know I’m not her brother or anything, but if she gets hurt, then I cannot live”. Dante walked down the corridor away from Kaien and Yuki ‘I hope you’re happy, Kuran”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante packed his bags, he put Lucifer into the black case with the two guns, he took out a black jumper and put it one, he put the sling over his shoulder and grabbed the black case and walked out of the room, he closed the door and walked to the front door, he walked out of the cottage ‘Why leave the girl alone with the Vampires’? Dante heard the woman’s voice in his head again ‘Because if I don’t leave, then she’ll be in more danger’. Dante walked towards the front gate ‘Then how will you be able to keep that promise’? Dante looked down at the ground ‘By staying away from her and letting Zero and Kaname protect her’. Dante walked down the stairs that led to the town “Dante wait”. Dante stopped and turned around to see Yuki standing at the top of the stairs “I don’t want you to leave again”. She ran down the stairs and hugged him “I don’t care what Kaname says, I want you to stay with me, I want my brother to protect me”. Dante looked up at the night sky “As do I, but I have to deal with someone, in order to protect you”. Yuki looked up at him “Dante, will you return when you have dealt with that Vampire”. Dante looked at her “Yuki, the creature I’m hunting is one of my kind, a Demon, and only I can kill her”. Yuki looked at Dante “Then when you’ve finished with her, what then”? Dante shrugged “I don’t know, but when she is dead, then I’ll have to deal with Kaname”. Dante turned and continued to walk down the stairs “Take care, whilst I’m gone”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante had rented a room for the night, he woke up early in the morning and headed for the shops, he went into a coats shop and looked for a good coat to replace his other one “May I help you young sir”. Dante looked at the shopkeeper, she was a woman in her thirties, Dante knew she was part of the Vampire Hunters “I need a coat, good for hunting”. The woman reached for her leg and took out a knife “You must be the famous Dante Cross, you have a bounty on your head for the damage you have done yesterday”. Dante looked at the woman then back at the coats, he saw a heavy black one, it reminded him of Kaien’s coat “I’ll take this one”. Dante took out money from his pocket and put out his money to the woman “Did you hear what I had said, the Hunters Association are wanting your head”. Dante shrugged and put the money on a shelf and put the coat on “I don’t care, because all I did was take out a couple of Level E’s but the one that was responsible for the damage was none other than another Demon”. The woman looked at Dante lowering her knife “A Demon, but I thought they were extinct”. Dante smiled and walked to the entrance “We aren’t but we like to keep it like that”. Dante walked out of the store out onto the street, where he saw two more Hunters, they saw him and walked towards him, Dante walked in the other direction towards the hotel he was staying at, he entered it and walked to the room he was staying in, he entered it and took Lucifer and both the guns, he heard someone standing at the door, Dante looked at the window and opened it, he jumped out and landed in an alleyway and walked out to the street just has he heard the door of his room get broken into.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood in a church, he enjoyed listening to Humans pray to their god “I don’t see how you can stand being in these churches”. Dante knew that the voice belonged to Victoria, he turned and saw that she was still wearing the same clothes she wore yesterday, Dante saw that she had two small swords on her hips “So, why don’t we finish our little fight form yesterday”. Dante smiled and put Lucifer from his back and their blades clashed together, the Humans in the church ran out, Dante pushed back and took out one of his guns “I see you brought both Greed and Pride with you this time, how cold of you”. Victoria’s blades had electricity dance around them and she shot it at him, Dante deflected it but the force pushed him back and he shot through the churches wall out onto the street, he hit a table and lay there “You’ve gotten weak since eight years ago”. Dante got up and smiled “Haven’t been fighting much, but I still have good aim”. Dante took out both Greed and Pride and aimed it at Victoria, he fired at her, she got hit by three bullets then dodged the rest, she shot more electricity at Dante but he was quicker and dodged it, he fired at her again but didn’t hit her, he grabbed Lucifer and charged at her, they’re blades connected but then a bullet hit their blades, they jumped back and looked to see the Hunters from before “Dante Cross, we are ordered to kill you”. Dante swore and looked at Victoria “Sorry Dante, but I only came to see you before I left”. Victoria jumped high into the air and landed on top of a building “Have fun”. Dante swore and looked at the Hunters “Great, you let my prey get away, all because you want to kill me”. The Hunters readied their weapons “Take me to your president”. They looked at Dante confused then at each other “Um… but we have orders to kill you, not take you in”. Dante sighed and walked to them “I understand that you’re doing your job, but if you two want to live, you will take me to the president”. The Hunters sighed and put away their weapons “Alright, but you will have others looking at you”. Dante followed the Hunters away from the small battlefield.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante followed both the Hunters into the Headquarters of the Hunter Association, Dante looked at the Hunters who stood around the room staring at him “I see you have brought him here”. Dante saw a man dressed in woman’s clothing “Come this way please”. Dante followed the man to a private room “Now then, how can I help Dante Cross’? Dante took out Pride and aimed it at the man “I want a bullet through your head, that’s what, President”. The president looked at Dante with a smile “I take it you want to know if Rido Kuran is still alive”. Dante didn’t flinch he just looked at the president “Well, I’ve heard a rumour that a pureblood was blown to pieces and is slowly regenerating, but like I said, it’s a rumour”. Dante put Pride away and walked to the door “How is Zero Kiryu, after his parents death he’s full of rage, is he not”. Dante stopped “How should I know, I was in Moscow for the four years, so I won’t know”. Dante walked out of the room and towards the exit when a group of Hunters blocked his way “Dante Cross, I don’t see how your so feared by some Hunters and Vampires, you don’t look strong”. Dante looked at the man standing in the middle, he had a blond beard that matched his hair “Maybe it’s because he kills anyone who piss’s him off”. Dante looked to his right and saw a Hunter walk towards him, he had dark purple hair, a patch over his right eye and only one blue eye showed “Yagari, it’s been a while”. Yagari smiled and sucked in his cigarette “Yeah, the last time we met, I put multiple bullets into you, and then you came back and beat the crap out of me”. Dante smirked “Yeah that was some fight but I have time to tell stories, I have to go”. Dante walked towards the group, they stood their ground “Let him through”. They hesitated but then moved aside “Oh and Dante”. Dante turned and saw the President standing next to Yagari “I hope that one day, when you die, it will be by the hands of a Hunter”. Dante shrugged “That’s if you Hunters can create a weapon powerful enough to kill me, besides, have you all forgotten where your weapons were made from, by a pureblood Vampire”. Dante walked out of the building back out into the street ‘Now to head back to Cross Academy’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante arrived at Cross Academy at night time, he walked up the stairs but to be greet by Kaname and some of the Night Class “I take it that the other Demon is dead”? Dante shook his head “Hunters got in the way, scaring her off, but she will be back, she promised”. Kaname turned and walked away “I see you got yourself a new coat, the other one, what happened to it”. Dante check his coat “Victoria burnt the back of it, so I had it destroyed and got this one, besides I’ve had that coat for twenty years, it was tearing anyway”. Kaname continued walking, the other Night Class students did too, but Akatsuki stayed a bit longer “I want to talk to you”. Dante looked at Akatsuki “What about, Zero, Yuki or Kaname”? Akatsuki looked back at where Kaname and others had walked to “It’s about you”. Dante followed Akatsuki along the path “I want to ask, if you’re Lord Kaname’s servant, why don’t you and him get along and follow his orders”. Dante stopped and looked at Akatsuki “I don’t follow orders from him, because he isn’t truly my master, and only when my true Master comes, then I shall do my job, but what about you, why do you follow Kaname”? Akatsuki stopped and looked at Dante “You know your Purebloods, and you’d know about their ability that makes us aristocrats obey a Pureblood”. Dante knew every Purebloods ability, just by seeing them he knew “Yeah, but they don’t have an ability to make a Demon obey them, it’s only done by a blood bond, like when a Pureblood turns a human into a Vampire, and they are bonded”. Dante looked at Akatsuki “You really do know your Vampires, may I ask one more question”. Dante nodded “Were you the first Demon to serve the Kuran’s”? Dante looked at the moon, it was crested “I am, and will be till I am killed”. Akatsuki smiled and walked away “Thank you for telling me this, I’ll leave you to it”. Dante watched as he walked away ‘Bastard’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked into the Headmaster’s cottage, he walked to the bedroom he had been staying, he saw Yuki sitting on the bed looking upset, and she looked up at him “Dante”? Dante smiled and put Lucifer against the wall “Is it really you”? Dante nodded, and Yuki ran to him and hugged him, Dante hugged her back “I can’t find Zero anywhere and you’re the only one that I want to be protected by”. Dante put his hands on Yuki’s shoulders “Yuki, I haven’t been fair with you”. Yuki looked at Dante “Yuki, I’m Kaname Kuran’s servant, a Demon that protects and serves the Kuran family, and if Kaname gives me an order, I obey, although, I haven’t been doing so since his mother was killed”. Dante looked at Lucifer “What happened”? Dante sighed and let go of Yuki “Ten years ago, a group of Vampires attacked Juri and Haruka, I was there protecting both of them but they overwhelmed me and I watched them die, but I don’t trust Kaname and take orders because Kaname’s mother Juri, didn’t give me to him”. Dante heard a knock at the door and Dante saw Kaien standing at the doorway “Dante, I need you to talk to you alone”. Dante looked at Yuki “I’ll be back, why don’t you patrol and make sure Zero is okay”. Yuki nodded and walked out of the room, Kaien closed the door and looked at Dante “Zero will be needing your help, and you know that if something happened to Zero, Yuki will break down”. Dante sighed and nodded “I know, but I know what Kaname wants to do with Zero, and the only person that can really help Zero is Yuki”. Kaien nodded “I know, now right now I’m going to the Hunters Association to have a word with the President, so I won’t be back for a while, could you stay here for Yuki and Zero”. Dante nodded and watched Kaien walk away “I’m glad you came back Dante, not because Kaname told you to, but because you are the closest thing Yuki has to a brother and you are like her only family member”. Dante smiled and looked at Lucifer, he grabbed it and saw that the black case was on the bed ‘Son of a bitch, the case must be bonded to the sword’. Dante shrugged and opened the case and put Lucifer in it, he took out both Greed and Pride and looked at them “Nar, I’ll keep you two, but I think you need to remain asleep”. Dante closed the case and put it under the bed, he walked out of the room and turned off the light and closed the door.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat at the dining table eating a bowl of cereal, he knew it was night time but it was a snack, he heard the door open and looked up, he saw Yuki and Zero walk in “Dante, where’s the Headmaster”? Dante swallowed his cereal “He went out, he told me to stay back and make sure you two are both ok”. Dante finished off his cereal and walked to the kitchen, Zero and Yuki followed “Dante, the Headmaster said you were a doctor and helped a Vampire for the past four years, you can help Zero, right”? Dante stopped and looked at Zero “I can’t, that time was a one off due to her living not very long”. Dante walked into the kitchen and put his bowl into the sink “What happened, a Hunter killed her or something”. Dante shook his head “She went mad and in the end, she went to kill a young Human child, I tried to calm her down but I ended up killing her, I don’t know who her Master was but who eve it was, they made me kill an old friend that wasn’t a Hunter”. Dante walked past them to his room “Do you know anything that can help Zero”? Dante sighed and looked at them both “To tell you the truth, Zero has been fighting the Level E inside of him, not much people can do that, but all I know from the top of my head is that it has something to do with their creator, so the woman that turned you, can stop the Level E from coming out”. Zero looked at Dante “The same woman that killed my parents”. Dante nodded “But to tell you the truth, if I had known she had turned you, I would’ve caught her two years ago”. Zero grabbed Dante and threw him into the wall “You know where she is, tell me”? Dante grabbed Zero and pushed him into the wall “She came to me for help, when I told her to go into hiding she disappeared, I don’t know where she is and she wasn’t given a Demon”. Dante let go of Zero and looked at him “You strong, stronger than a Hunter”. Dante smiled “I’m stronger than a Pureblood Vampire, I’m stronger than my Demon race”. Dante walked to his room and opened the door “You guys should get some sleep, I’m sure the Headmaster will have something for you Zero that’ll help you”. Dante walked into the room not saying another word to them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Fifth Night: Dante stood at the entrance of the Academy, Kaien had told Dante that a Hunter was coming to the Academy to watch over Zero, Dante then saw a man walk up the stairs, he had a hat that had one of its sides up, a shotgun on his back and light tanned coats “Yagari, who would’ve thought that you would be the Hunter coming here”. Yagari smiled “I’m getting a greeting from the Devil himself, great, I thought Kaien Cross wouldn’t of told you that I was coming”. Yagari took his shotgun from his back and aimed it at Dante, but Dante took out both Pride and Greed and aimed then at him “Nice guns, what rounds”? Dante smiled showing his fangs “Unlike the normal rounds that you Hunters use, these girls here pack rounds that can tear apart Vampires, Demons even Humans, and it’ll hurt”. Yagari put his shotgun back on his back and Dante put away both his guns “You really know how to make a Hunter stand down, but I take it you’re not going to let me in”. Dante shook his head “I’m just greeting you, Kaien told me not to as your President has threatened me that if I interfere, he’ll get every single Hunter on my arse and will have my head on a silver platter”. Yagari sucked in some of his cigarette “Well, that’s very selfish of the him, I was hoping you would have a fight with me, need some excursive seeing as the Level E’s aren’t showing themselves much”. Dante looked at the morning sky “Well, after the incident with the other Demon, I think I scared them off, so I think you can blame me”. Yagari swore and sucked in more of his cigarette “Well, I can’t blame you but that other bitch that used them against you, but then again you did make my time expand so now I have more time to things”. Yagari walked up the stairs and stood next to Dante “Come on, the quicker we get to Kaien the better”. Dante and Yagari both walked into the Academy as the sun rose higher.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood outside of Kaien’s office, Yagari and Kaien had been talking for an hour, till Yagari came out “The idiot wants to see you”. Dante sighed and walked into the office, he closed the door behind him and walked to the front of Kaien’s desk “Dante, Kaname has asked a request for you to do”. Dante saw Kaien take out a white uniform “Seeing as Kaname is letting Zero stay in the Day Class, he wants you to join the Night Class in his place”. Dante took out a knife and stabbed it into the desk “Why the hell would I want to be a student”? Kaien grabbed the uniform and held it “Kaname wants you to join the Night Class so that you can be able to stay with him as his servant”. Dante took his knife out of the desk and put it away “I take it I don’t have a choice in this”? Kaien shook his head, Dante sighed and he grabbed the uniform from Kaien “Alright, I’ll do it, but I’m taking but Greed and Pride with me when wearing this monkey outfit”. Kaien sighed and tears ran down his eyes “Why must you be so violent to everyone”. Dante walked out of the office and slammed the door shut “Dante, what’s wrong”? Dante saw Yuki standing in the hallway looking at him “What’s with the Night Class uniform”. Dante felt embarrassed “Um… seeing as Kaname is letting Zero stay in the Day Class, he wants me to take his place and join the Night Class”. Yuki smirked and tried not to laugh “Hey I don’t think it’s funny, I don’t want to be in a place full of Vampires, especially Kaname”. Dante sighed and walked past Yuki “If anyone asks what has happened to me, tell them I got transferred”. Yuki nodded and saluted “As your sister, I will do as you ask me to do”. Dante smiled and continued to walk “I’m glad you will, and if you ask for anything from me, I will do as you want”. Dante walked down the stairs leaving Yuki.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante had to take all his belongings and go to the Moon Dorms, he stood at the Moon Dorms gate, he held the black case that held Lucifer in it “I’m going to regret this”. The gate doors opened and Dante saw Takuma standing at the gate “Uh I was told by Kaname that you were coming, so I volunteered to come and get you and show you around”. Dante was glad that it Takuma that had come to greet him instead of Kaname or anyone else from the Night Class “Well thank god for that, if it was Kaname or that girl Seiren I would kill myself”. Takuma came out and put his hand on Dante’s back “Don’t feel bad about them, you’ll probably get along with them as you stay with us, come on let’s go”. Takuma took Dante’s bags whilst Dante carried his case “So in that case, it holds the powerful blade Lucifer”? Dante looked at his case and then at Takuma “Yep, but the only thing about it is that it can’t be wielded by a Vampire nor Human, due to it being a Demon forged blade”. Takuma seemed disappointed “Really, I’ve always wanted to hold it, more than less look at it”. Dante stopped and looked at Takuma “Well you can look at it, but if I put a cloth around the hilt you may be able to hold it”. Takuma smile came back “Well then, I might show you blade then have a little fight”. Dante smiled “Well then, I’m glad I have someone that understands swordsmanship”. Dante and Takuma both laughed, they walked to the front door and entered the Moon Dorm, when they walked in, and Dante saw all the Night Class students standing in the living room, Dante saw Kaname standing in front of them all “What’s this, a welcoming party”? Kaname walked to Dante and stood in front of him “It is, as my servant I want you to stay close to me so I know that you won’t do anything stupid”. Dante looked at Kaname “I always do stupid things, your mother liked me doing things like that, that’s why she was my favourite Master”. Dante then felt his wrist burn, he winced and grabbed it “I’d watch what you say, in front of them”. Dante ignored the pain then looked at the Night Class behind Kaname “Like they’d care, if I said that I shot a Pureblood in the head and then that Pureblood got up then shot me back in the head, then I threw a glass bottle at their head, they wouldn’t understand a word I had just said”. Everyone seem confused, even Kaname “What the hell is he talking about”. Dante smiled “Told you so”. Kaname smiled and put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “I see you have your attitude back, just like you had when Juri and Haruka were alive”. Dante hated it when he brought up those names, especially his old Masters name, Juri Kuran “Yeah, but I don’t really like it when people do this for me, especially Vampires, hey Takuma, where’s my room”. Kaname looked at Takuma “I’ll take you to your room, as you shall be sharing rooms with me”. Dante frowned “You’re joking right, I have to share the same room with you”? Dante saw Aido and Ruka give Dante a death stare “Yes, I hope you won’t mind, or would you rather sleep in a bath full of holy water”. Dante shivered “I hate you”. Kaname smiled and walked up the stairs “Come on, this way”. Dante took his bags from Takuma and followed Kaname up the stairs “You’d best not bother getting into your uniform”. Dante sighed and looked at the floor “I hate Kaien, telling me to wear this monkey suit but seeing as you have something else planned I’m glad I have an extra day of wearing my normal clothes”. Kaname lead him to a room and Dante saw that there was one bed and a lounge “Which one do you want”? Dante looked at both the bed and lounge “I’ll take the lounge, I can tell that your bed isn’t Demon friendly”. Dante put his bags onto the floor next to the lounge then put his black case onto the lounge “Oh one more thing, I want you and Takuma to go into town and take out two Level E Vampires”. Dante looked back at Kaname “Isn’t that the Hunters job”. Kaname looked at Dante “I know, but Yuki and Zero are going into town but these two have been a pain to deal with and I want two swordsmen to deal with them”. Dante looked at the case and kicked it into the air, the case opened and Lucifer came out, Dante grabbed it and pointed it at Kaname “Well, I don’t know about swordsmen, but if it’s a Level E that needs to be killed, then I’m on it”. Dante took out his black coat and put it on, Dante looked at the door and saw Takuma and another boy with him, he had maroon hair and pale blue eyes “Dante, this is Senrie, he’s my friend and roommate, Shiki, this is Dante, Kaname’s servant”. Dante sensed a familiar scent ‘The son of Rido Kuran’. Dante looked at Kaname ‘I know, but he’s not like the brute we both know, so be nice’. Dante looked back at Senrie “Well then, let’s get going and hunt down these Level E’s, besides what is happening tonight anyway”. Takuma looked at Dante with a smile “It’s my birthday today and I am throwing a party, I want you to come as a guest and to make sure nothing bad happens”. Dante shrugged “Well then, I might as well leave thing here, seeing as I have both two of the greatest companies a monster like me could have”. Dante put Lucifer back into the case and closed it “Why not take it”? Dante looked at Takuma “You see, I’ve used that weapon for most of my life, sometimes if I’m using it and fighting, I lose control of myself, and I don’t really want that happening, it really sucks”. Dante walked to Senrie and Takuma “Come on, I’d like to get to the town and find a liquor store”. The three of them walked out of the room to the front door.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante, Takuma and Senrie walked into the town, they saw two Vampires staring at them “So you three young ones are here to kill us”? They’re voices echoed, one was a male who had long brown hair and wore business man clothes, the other one was a female with bright yellow hair, she wore a pink dress “Depends, if you’ll piss off, but if you don’t well, we’re just going to have some fun playing kill the stupid Level E’s”. The Level E’s laughed and jumped onto the buildings “You’ll have to catch us”. Dante smiled “Takuma, Senrie you two go after the male, I’ll get the girl, hey baby, wait up”. Dante jumped up the building after the female Level E “Come on handsome, I want to show you something”. Dante took out both Greed and Pride and shot at the Level E Vampire, she dodged each bullet “You have good aim, but does your blood taste good”? The female disappeared, Dante smirked and knew she was behind him, she jumped onto his back and bit into his neck, Dante winced but then smiled “Taste good, doesn’t it”? The female let go and screamed in pain, Dante elbowed her in the head and kicked her into a chimney, Dante rolled to his knees and looked at the Level E “Hurts doesn’t it”? The female looked at Dante, her red eyes stared at Dante “What is it, it burns”. Dante stood up and looked at her “Well you see, if a Vampire such as yourself bites a Demon like me without me letting you such as myself, it acts as a poison on Vampires”. The Level E roared and then Dante heard more roars “You may of poisoned me, but our companies are going to kill you with me”. Dante smiled and looked behind him and saw more Level E’s coming at him “Well then, this is going to be one hell of a party”. Dante span Greed and Pride and shot at them, some were hit by the bullets whilst the others dodged them “Kill him brothers and sisters”. Dante kicked a pair of Level E’s and they went into some antennas killing them, Dante fired at some more Level E’s killing them, Dante looked at where the female Level E had been standing, she was running across the buildings “I’m not letting you get away”. Dante ran onto the next rooftop and jumped to each one “Come back here bitch”. The Level E female snared at him and jumped down into an alleyway, Dante heard a scream and knew it was Yuki’s, Dante jumped down the alleyway and saw Zero, Yuki, Takuma and Senrie, Dante pulled the trigger and the bullet tore the Level E apart, Dante landed on the ash pile and knelt on it “Stupid bitch”. Dante stood up and put Pride and Greed away “You guys okay”? Takuma and Senrie looked okay, Dante then looked at Zero and Yuki “Yeah, what are you guys doing here”. Yuki’s eyes widened “Dante, your bleeding”. Dante touched his neck and felt his blood and two hole in his neck “Bitch bit me, but it was funny how her mouth was burnt when she tasted my blood, never drink from a Demon when they don’t offer it”. Dante felt the holes heal and Dante wiped the blood away “Anyway I was just telling them to come around tonight, to discuss about this”. Dante looked at Yuki and Zero “Well, I won’t stop any of you two coming, now let’s head back, my neck hurts and I need to find some alcohol”. Dante walked down the alleyway and out into the street away from them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante came back to the Moon Dorm, it was coming up to dusk, he held a box of scotch and with vodka, he walked along the pathway, he saw candles that weren’t lit and felt that it was strange, then he saw some lights and saw red eyes staring at him “Ah Dante, you’re here, thank goodness, I thought another Level E would’ve gotten you”. Dante looked at Takuma “Well, I got lost trying to find the liquor store, got into an argument with a group of Hunters then I finally found the liquor store but paid extra just for this fucking box”. Takuma laughed and helped Dante by taking some of the bottles “I hope these aren’t for this party”? Dante shook his head “I need it to last the couple of nights, besides you guys aren’t the right age to drink this shit”. Dante took out a bottle of Vodka and looked at the top, he used the wind and cut the top off and the lid fell off, he drank some of the Vodka when it smashed “Damn, that was some expensive shit that you just smash Kaname, it cost me a lot of money”. Dante looked at Kaname, he sat on a lounge with Seiren standing next to him “Well, then I’ll make sure it’s replaced but I was hoping that you would shred some blood for us”. Dante rolled his eyes then looked at his hand and saw that it was cut “Damn, you are looking for Demon blood, aren’t you Kaname”. Kaname smiled “I was hoping that you could bleed, but I want you to lend me your blood”. Takuma looked shocked “Wait Kaname, isn’t that a bad idea”? Dante laughed and put his hand over his eye “That’s funny, I can’t do that order”. Everyone looked at Dante “I see, and why is that”? Dante handed Takuma the box and walked towards Kaname, Seiren was on her guard “Because, Juri was my true Master, your uncle had been before her, but only when a true Kuran has been connected with mine, then I shall become the Kuran Demon, and then will they be able to protect them”. Kaname smiled and stood up, he walked to Dante, they stood in front of each other and looked into each other’s eyes “Well then, I’m glad that you know everything, and I was happy when you were my servant”. Kaname put his hand on Dante’s shoulder, Dante smiled, Kaname put his head closer to Dante’s ear so the others wouldn’t hear “I want you to look after Yuki during the Night and Day, I also want you to call in another Demon”. Dante sighed “I don’t know if I can, but I will find one that can come”. Dante walked back to his box and picked it up, and walked to the dorms door “Wait, aren’t you staying for the party”? Dante looked back at Takuma “I’ll be back I just need to call for someone”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked into the dorm and saw that it was quiet, he was glad and walked up the stairs into the room he and Kaname were sharing, he closed the door and put the box on the lounge, he took out his knife and cut his hand, he drew a Solomon’s star on the floor with his blood and burned it, then a young man stood over the burnt star, he bowed to Dante “Lord Dante, how may I be of assistance my Lord”? Dante stood up and looked at the man “Vector, I have a request”. The man Vector looked at Dante “What is it my Lord”? Dante put his hand on Vector’s shoulder “I want you to send a Demon here, to Cross Academy, do we have anyone that could come here”. Vector scratched his blue hair “Well, we have a new Demon that was turned by the outlaw Demon Victoria, we found her but couldn’t kill her as she has some information on Victoria’s new Master, we could send her over”. Dante smiled “A new Demon, how long has she been for? Vector took out clipboard and looked at it “For two years, whilst you were gone in Moscow, but she doesn’t have any training and we don’t know if we should let her out”. Dante looked at Vector “Give her a weapon, and send her here, I’ll train her whilst I’m looking after my Master”. Vector bowed and Dante looked at him “She shall be there in a day’s time, I shall make sure she is ready”. The man burst into flames and disappeared, Dante looked at the floor and sighed “I’ll just tell Kaname that it’s a spell that protects the dorm”. Dante walked to the door and walked out of the room when he smelt Yuki’s scent, he smiled and walked to the front door, he opened it and saw both Yuki and Zero being led by Akatsuki and Aido, Yuki saw him and looked at him confused “What are you doing here, thought you were somewhere else”. Dante smiled and walked down the stairs and stood in front of her, he put his hand on her head and rubbed her head “I was given an invitation by Takuma, and besides, I have to make sure this party doesn’t become a brothel”. Dante knew that the female students stared are him, Dante smiled then looked at Takuma “Do you want a blood-tablet with water”? Dante shook his head “He doesn’t drink that sort of blood, only Purebloods blood is what he has”. Dante looked at Kaname “Yes, but unlike the other Demons, I haven’t drunken from a Pureblood for six thousand years”. Everyone looked at him in shock “I see, so you could’ve drunken from Juri, but why didn’t you drink her blood”. Dante looked at Yuki and everyone else “Do we have to say it here”? Kaname looked at him, Dante sighed “She offered it to me, but I didn’t take it because she has been so kind to me, and making her bleed would bring out the senate, and you know it”. Kaname’s eyes changed to crimson and Dante’s body blew up into pieces “Kaname, why did you do that”? Kaname smirked “I want you Yuki and Zero, see the powers of a Pureblood Demon”. Dante’s parts came together and started building to together, it took Dante’s for and Dante stood there, he cracked his neck and spat out blood “What the fuck man, I hate regenerating from that death”. Kaname smiled and walked to his seat “Yuki, Zero come here”. Dante watched both Zero and Yuki walked up to Kaname, Dante saw Takuma hand him a glass of champagne, Dante took it and looked at it “Have some food as well”. Dante put his hand on Takuma’s head “Whatever, but I don’t usually eat fancy food”. Dante drank the champagne and put the glass down on the table, Dante yawned and looked at the moon “I’m beat, I’m going to bed” Dante walked to the dorm “But I thought you would stay”. Dante looked back at Takuma, he looked upset “Sorry, but after those Level E’s and then Kaname blowing me up, I’m as tired as Yuki and Zero, and then again, I hardly sleep”. Dante yawned and walked to the dorms, he looked at Zero then at Yuki ‘What is Kaname planning’? Dante shrugged and walked into the dorms.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood in Kaname’s office, he looked at a chess board “He’s been using us as chess pieces, but who’s his opponent, Rido”? Dante knew that Rido had been killed or something, Dante sat in Kaname’s chair and put his hand on his head “What are you planning Kaname, what does Yuki and Zero have to do with it”? Dante heard a gunshot and stood up from the chair and ran out of Kaname’s office, he ran down the stairs to the door and barged the door open and saw that everyone had stopped because of the gun shot, Dante looked at Kaname “Go”. Dante ran towards where everyone was looking, he ran along the path till he saw a figure standing with a gun in his hand, Dante took out Greed and aim at the figure and shot the gun, Dante saw that the figure was Yagari, he heard Kaien running towards Yagari and took his gun, Dante walked up to them putting Greed away, Zero and Yuki got out of the water they were in “And you Dante, I want you to hand over both of those weapons”. Dante raised an eyebrow “You know you can’t touch Pride and Greed, there Demon weapons”. Kaien was about to speak when he fell quiet “Besides, I was just stopping Cyclops here from killing Zero”. Yagari blow out smoke and walked away “This girl here was preventing me from doing so, anyway, looks like I have to deal with you as well, Devil”. Dante watched Yagari walk away, he looked at Yuki, she was wet from the water, he took off his coat and put it over Yuki, she was going to hesitate but Dante spoke over her “You’ll catch a cold, and I don’t want to be dealing with you, your stubborn when sick”. Yuki frowned then looked at Zero “What about him”? Dante looked at Zero “One of the good things about being a Vampire, is that you can’t get sick, but that wound will hurt for a while”. Dante took out a packed of herbs and gave it to Zero “Drink them with some warm water, it’ll get rid of the pain”. Zero grunted and walked away “Dante, take Yuki back to her dorm, and keep her warm”. Dante nodded and walked with Yuki, Dante clicked his fingers and violet flames came around his fingers, he held it in front of Yuki to warm her up, even though she wore Dante’s coat, her hair and skin was still wet “Thanks, I wished I’d known what you were years ago, I feel so stupid”. Dante put his other hand around her hand hugged her “Don’t say that, you aren’t stupid, you just haven’t had me around to help you fight and stuff”. Yuki hugged Dante “I really did miss you, having Zero, the Headmaster and Kaname, I felt unsafe without you, but since you’ve come back and I know what you are, I don’t know how to feel about you”. Dante kissed Yuki’s wet hair “I want you to be happy and keep on doing one thing for me, smile”. Yuki smiled and held Dante’s hand “And I will big brother”. Dante smiled and extinguished the flame.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Sixth Night: “Wake up Dante”. Dante opened his eyes to see Kaname looking down at him “What do you want, I’m trying to sleep”. Kaname hit him in the head with a book, Dante got up holding his head “What the hell, I’m not something you can hit”. Kaname smiled and walked to the door “You need to be awake, you have things to do for me”. Dante yawned and took out his phone and looked at the time, it was nine o’clock in the morning “Fuck, is that the date”? He realised that he only had three weeks till he had to hand in his book “The shower is free, you’d best get in and wash yourself, and you smell like alcohol and blood”. Dante smelt himself and could smell alcohol and blood, he sighed and looked for his coat, then he remember that he had given it to Yuki when she got back to her dorm, Dante had left it with her when she had fallen asleep, Dante reached into his bag and took out a pair of jeans and red t-shirt, he walked out if the room and walked down to the bathroom, he saw that it was closed ‘Free my arse’. Dante knocked on the door and heard someone reply, he grumbled and leaned on the wall, he heard someone talking in bathroom, he could tell that it was a woman’s voice then the door opened and he saw that it was the girl Ruka, she wore a violet dressing down and her hair was still a bit damp, she held her pyjamas in her hands “Oh it’s just you, Kaname’s dog”. Dante rolled his eyes, he walked past her into the bathroom, he saw another girl who was in the bath, Dante turned around and walked out “Fuck it, I’m heading down to the Headmasters shower”. Dante walked down the hallway “No you are not, you are to stay here and have your shower here”. Dante sighed and looked back to see Kaname “Look, you said it was free, there’s Ruka and whoever that other girl is”. Dante heard the girl say her name, Rima, Dante looked at Kaname “I know, but I was hoping that you would wait for them to finish, like a polite person”. Dante wish he had his gun to shot himself in the head “Fuck, I’m getting sick of your jokes, first you blow me apart in front of Yuki and Zero last night, I’m still sore from that, then you wake me up by hitting me in the head with a book, and then you tell me that the shower is free but it’s got both Ruka and Rima in it”. Kaname’s eyes glowed red and Dante’s shoulder grow and exploded, his blood splatted on the floor and walls, Dante grabbed his shoulder “You will watch your mouth, or I will put holy water into your mouth for the rest of the month”. Dante rolled his eyes and felt his shoulder heal, Dante looked at his blood and it stained the walls and floor, the girl that was in the bath came out, she had bright orange hair and blue eyes, she looked at Dante dully “Bathrooms free”. Dante walked to the bathroom and walked in “Never thought I’d see a real Demon, what’s your favourite food and desert”? Dante looked at her raising an eyebrow “Pizza with no olives and a strawberry sundae, why”. Rima shrugged and both her and Ruka walked away, Dante closed the door and locked it, he turned on the shower and took off his clothes, he got into the shower and felt the hot water burn his skin, it didn’t bother him till the water turned cold, he looked and turned off the cold water when it was already off “Great, no hot water”. Dante sighed and had a cold shower.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> After his shower and got changed, Dante walked out and saw Akatsuki standing outside of the bathroom “There’s no hot water, the two bitches wasted it all”. Akatsuki laughed “I just wanted to see what you’re doing today”. Dante walked down the corridor, Akatsuki followed him “I was thinking of heading down to the town today, I’m seeing if my favourite restaurant is still open, why you bored and want to come”. Akatsuki looked at Dante “I wouldn’t mind talking to you about something private, do you mind”. Dante shook his head “Not if you mind girls squalling over you”? Dante walked into his and Kaname’s room and put his clothes on his bag, he sat down, put on his socks and boots and then grabbed a jacket from his bag and walked out “What about Dorm President Kuran, will he let us out”? Dante shrugged “I don’t know and don’t really care, but what I do care about is a pizza and strawberry sundae in my belly, and Kaname can’t stop me”. Dante walked down the stairs and to the door, he opened the door and let Akatsuki walk out first and then Dante walked after him “So what exactly do you want to talk about”? Akatsuki looked back at the dorm then ahead “Do you know anything about the Senate”? Dante knew everything about them, Juri and Haruka wanted nothing to do with them as they wanted to control the Purebloods “I know everything about them, I know the whole place from the inside out, and I know they want to control the Purebloods, but it’s what they plan to do with them I don’t know, why, you want to break in or something”. Akatsuki shook his head “We’ll talk more when we get to this restaurant of yours”. Dante shrugged and looked ahead ‘What is the Senate planning’?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante and Akatsuki sat in the restaurant, Dante ordered a Supreme pizza with no olives and a strawberry sundae, whilst Akatsuki ordered a coffee “So as I was going to say is that Ichijo’s grandfather is the head of the Senate, but what I want to know is what they want with Purebloods”. Dante took a slice of pizza and started to eat it “I don’t know, but there is one thing that has caught my eye, is what are the Hunters planning as well, they might have a connection with the Senate”. Dante saw girls looking them, Dante looked back at them and they squealed “Man, the thing I hate is girls checking us out, wish I wasn’t good looking, just average”. Akatsuki chuckled and sipped his coffee “I know what you mean, but we just learn to deal with it in the end”. Dante agreed and finished his slice then took another one “You sure like that Pizza”? Dante took a bite and looked at Akatsuki “Yeah, Juri allowed me to go out and get some Pizza whenever I want, even Haruka and her would eat some Pizza as well”. Akatsuki looked at Dante “So who was you Master before Dorm President, his father or mother”. Dante took another bite and swallowed it “Juri was, I was given to her, we had a bond together that allowed us to enter each other’s minds”. Akatsuki pointed at Dante’s wrist “What about that tattoo, did she give you that”? Dante looked at the butterfly on his wrist “She made a blood promise, and that’s the shape it took, besides, I hate it when Kaname tempers with it, he makes it burn my wrist, but he doesn’t really know what the promise is and he thinks it’s something else”. Dante finished the pizza and went to reach for another one when the door opened and a group of punks walked in and were being loud “So I told the slut that if she doesn’t give it to me, I would beat the crap out of her”. The punk that had said that made Dante sick “Well, well, looks like we have two students from Cross Academy, Night Class right”. Dante took another slice and started eating it “Now I heard your classmates were hot, am I right”? The leader grabbed a chair and sat on it next to their table “Now are you two being rude and ignoring me”? He took out a butterfly knife and started flicking it around “You know those are dangerous, can cut your hands open if you don’t use it carefully”. Dante took another bite, the punk pointed it at Dante “I know how to handle this little thing, but you seem to just talk back at people being smart”. The punk leader stabbed his butterfly knife into Dante’s pizza and cut around it, then he smashed his sundae into the wall, Dante stopped and looked at his destroyed food “Now be smart”. Dante pulled out Pride and aimed it at the punks head “You come in here trying to act tough, then you annoy the shit out of us, now you destroyed my food, how’s that”. The punks took out guns and other weapons then aimed them at Dante and Akatsuki “Man, does this usually happen to you”? Dante smiled “Don’t know, but I’m not sure there Human anyway”. Dante stood up and walked out of the restaurant “Hey where are you going”? Dante aimed Pride back at them and shot one of the punks in the head “Out”. The other punks charged after Dante, he took out Greed and shot at them, they dodged the bullets and kept charging, they slashed at him with they’re knives and other weapons, Dante dodged each one and then kicked one in the head, Dante saw their eyes turn crimson red as they attacked him “Die you bastard”. Dante kept on dodging their attacks, till he saw two of them aim their guns at him, Dante grabbed one of the punks and used him as a shield, Dante felt the punks body shake as he was hit by the bullets, Dante then heard another gun shot, but it wasn’t from the punks, he saw that there were a pair of hunters, one held a rifle whilst the other held a pair of tomahawks, Dante watched as the punks retreated away from Dante and the Hunters, Akatsuki came out looking at the piles of ash “Wow, you guys sure can kill these guys quickly”. Dante looked at the Hunters, they looked at Dante “Dante Cross and Kain Akatsuki, two Vampires that aren’t like these small fry”. Dante frowned “I’ve told you guys enough times, I’m not one of them, I’m a Demon you fucking morons”. The Hunters looked at each other and one took out a book and they looked at it, they looked at Dante embarrassed “Sorry, this is our first assignment, and we thought you were one of them, but we’re going to have to report you being here”. Dante shook his head “I recommend you don’t do that, if you do the President won’t be happy that you two have reported us being out, besides I think you’d want the one that’s alive in there”. The two Hunters looked into the restaurant and saw one of the punks lying knock out, they looked back at Dante “So, should we take him in and then what”? They looked at each other “Well if we do, then we can get some info on who their Master is, besides what about these two”. Dante put his hand over his eyes and shook his head “Just get the bastard and get out of here, we’ll be heading back to the academy, come on Akatsuki”. Dante walked away from the two Hunters, Akatsuki walked next to Dante “Dorm President Kuran is going to be pissed”. Dante shrugged “I’ll take full blame, so you can stop panicking, besides, they attacked us first”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante and Akatsuki entered the Moon Dorm, Kaname was sitting on the chair, he was expecting them “So, you leave without my permission and get into a fight with a bunch of Vampires”. Dante shrugged “Before you jump to conclusion, it was my idea to go down to the town, I took Akatsuki with me for company then a group of Vampires attacked us, I fought them then two Hunters came and finished it off, so if you’re going to punish someone, that would be me”. Kaname looked at Akatsuki “Go get ready for class, Dante I want to speak to you alone”. Kaname got up and walked up the stairs, Dante followed him. They entered Kaname’s office and Kaname walked to his desk and took a seat “I’m glad you went down today and took out some of those Vampires, but I want to know about another thing”. Dante raised an eyebrow “There is a girl currently with the Headmaster and she says you sent for her and she is here to see you”. Dante remembered asking Vector to send down another Demon “Yes, I requested another Demon to come and help me take care of Yuki, and she’s also here for training, if that’s alright”. Kaname nodded “I understand, if you’re going to train her, you will do it at Night and tell the Headmaster what you are doing”. Dante bowed his head, he walked to the door “But you will get dressed into your uniform, I don’t care how you dress, just wear it”. Dante sighed and walked out of the office, he saw Takuma standing in the hallway “Uh Dante, I was looking for you, this came for you”. Takuma handed Dante small box, Dante took it and opened it, in it was a black crystal, it was crack, Dante touched it and watched it shatter, Dante shut the box and burnt it “What was in it”? Dante looked at Takuma “It was a Demon Crystal, Demons wear them, this one belonged to a Demon that was send to protect a Pureblood family, but the Crystal was black and cracked, which means that the Demon was killed, by another Demon”. Dante walked to his and Kaname’s room, he walked in and took off his jacket and shirt “So what will you do”? Dante grabbed his uniform and put it on the lounge “Nothing right now, I’ll tell my second in command about it and I will wait for her to come to me”. Dante took off his pants and switched them with the cream coloured pants “So she’s after you, why”? Dante grabbed the black polo shirt, put it on and started doing the buttons up “Don’t know, but it has something to do with her new Master, but all I can do is wait, and knowing her, she’ll strike again”. Dante looked at Takuma “Then take care, I wouldn’t want to lose a friend”. Dante watched him walk away ‘He calls me his friend, interesting’. Dante tucked in the shirt and put on the vest, he buttoned it up and did up his red tie, then he looked at the jacket, he shrugged and walked to the door and walked to the stairs, he saw everyone standing near the door, Kaname looked at him “You’re not wearing your jacket”? Dante looked at Kaname “Yeah, I think it looks better without the jacket, besides, I can’t bring Pride and Greed with me, so I’ll have it off”. Kaname smiled “Well then, take this instead”. Kaname took out a small cloth from his pocket and threw it to Dante, a small piece of metal flew out of it and Dante caught it “Like the Artemis Rod, only different”. Dante looked at it and felt a button, he pressed it and it grew longer, the end was a blade, he looked at the other end and saw that it was also a blade “Never thought there was another one like Artemis, what’s this one”. Kaname shrugged “I don’t know, you should name it, anyway, put that somewhere where the Day Class won’t see it”. Dante shrugged and put it into his pocket “Now are you ready”? Aido looked at Dante “What about his books, isn’t he going to study”. Dante looked at Aido “Dude, I’m as old as the first Vampires and Humans, I know everything that lives on this planet and I know the different worlds, and I have a Demon to train anyway, so let’s go”. Kaname smiled and opened the door and everyone walked out.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood with Kaname, the gate was closed and he could hear the Day Class girls crying the names of each of the Night Class students, Dante groaned and looked at his shoes, he was wearing formal shoes instead of his boots “Relax, you shouldn’t be tensed”. Dante looked at Kaname “I hate you for this” Kaname smiled and the doors opened, Dante saw Yuki trying to push back some of the girls “Wow, Yuki Cross’s brother is now in the Night Class, he’s some handsome”. Dante felt embarrassed, he knew what Aido would, Aido grabbed Dante and showed him to the girls “Hey ladies, who wants this handsome Devil”? The girls charged at Dante and started grabbing at him “He’s got muscles, and abs”. Dante looked at Yuki, he mouthed ‘Help me’. Yuki shrugged and was knocked over by some of the girls, Dante slid down and crawled out he stood up and walked away “Having a tough time”? Dante looked at Akatsuki “Yeah, no thanks to ass face over there”. They looked back at Aido “He is a pain in the neck I will admit, but he is a nice guy”. Dante saw Ruka walk past them, Dante saw Akatsuki looking at her “You eyeing that butt of hers or something”? Akatsuki looked at Dante “No, just thought she had something on her back”. Dante smirked “I can read you like a book”. Dante straighten up and looked at Yuki, he looked at Kaname seeing that he wasn’t doing anything about her, he sighed and followed the other Night Class students, he looked to his right and saw Juri, he stopped and looked at where she stood “Hey are you alright”? Dante looked at Akatsuki then back at where Juri had been standing, she was gone “I thought I saw… Never mind”. Dante shook his head and then looked at the clock tower “I’ll catch you guys later, I’m heading to the Headmasters office”. Dante walked in another direction away from the others “Dante”. Dante looked back to see Kaname “I want you to be careful, for Yuki’s sake”. Dante nodded and walked towards the Headmasters office.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante opened the door to the Headmasters office “Ah Dante, you finally arrived”. Kaien jumped at Dante and grabbed him “She’s been really quiet and won’t take anything I give her”. Dante grabbed Kaien by the collar and took him off Dante “Get the hell off me”. Dante looked at the chair and saw a young girl the same age as Yuki sitting on one of the chairs, she had brown hair and green eyes, she looked at Dante scared, she stood up and bowed “Lord Da… Dante, I’m Bethany Campbell”. Dante looked at her “Lasts names aren’t needed for our kind, Bethany”. Bethany looked at Dante, he examined her, she was wearing a long tanned coat and held a bag in her hands, Dante walked up to her and put his hand on her neck, he could feel Victoria’s fang marks in her neck, they were old but it filled Dante with rage “Victoria has broken the Demon codes first rule, never turn a Human into a Demon without a Full Blooded Demons permission”. Bethany looked at Dante scared “Don’t worry, the creature that turned you is the one I am mad at, so relax”. Bethany looked at Dante with sad eyes, he saw tears come out of them “I’ve heard of you from that man Vector, he told me how you have killed many of your kind, I mean our kind, as well as the Vampires and Humans, I thought you would be scary but when I look at you, I see a man who has been badly hurt by something”. Dante put his hand on her shoulder “You are right, I have been hurt badly, but that is something you will learn later on, Kaien, put her into the Day Class”. Kaien looked at Dante “Is that wise, I mean, is she stable”. Dante shrugged “She still has her Human mind, usually when a Human has been turned into   a Demon, they go mad and will want blood, but from just looking at her, she has gotten a hold of herself”. Kaien grabbed Dante’s arm “What happens if she does go mad, she’ll attack the Day Class students and might kill them”. Dante pushed Kaien off him “If that happens, then I will be the one to kill her, just warn Yagari about this though, give her a uniform already”. Kaien sighed and took out a Day Class uniform “Um… Lord Dante, why must I wear a uniform, I mean, is there a reason”. Dante walked to the door “You look young, and if you’re walking around, people will start to ask questions, and plus, you haven’t graduated from your previous school, am I right”. Bethany looked at Dante then at Kaien “Yes, but how do you know”? Dante tapped his head “I entered your head, I know everything about you and your secrets, so don’t try and lie to me”. Dante walked out of the office, Bethany followed him as they walked down the corridor.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante waited for Bethany to change, she came out and Dante looked at her “How do I look”? Dante saw examined her “Your bow is a bit off, here”. Dante fixed her bow and then straightened her jacket “Thank you”. Dante walked away and she followed “Um… Lord Dante, why did you call for me, I mean, you could’ve asked for another Demon”? Dante shrugged “When Vector told me that you were bitten by Victoria, I knew that you would have a connection, besides, I haven’t trained a newborn Demon in a long time, I think the last one was Vector”. Bethany looked Dante “You trained Mister Vector”? Dante nodded “And every other Demon, even Victoria, anyway I’ll need you to see what the world of Vampires looks like, and get the smell of a Pureblood”. Dante stopped and saw Yuki “Yuki, what are you doing here”? Yuki looked at Dante, he could she sadness in her “I want Mister Yagari to tell me where Zero is”. Yuki saw Bethany, Bethany hid behind Yuki “Bethany, this is Yuki Cross, Yuki this is Bethany, she’s a newborn Demon”. Bethany peeked from behind Dante, Yuki smiled and bowed “It’s a pleasure, I have never seen another Demon except for my older brother, isn’t that right Dante”. Dante smiled, Bethany looked at Yuki then at Dante “You’re siblings”? Dante shook his head “I’m acting as her brother, but she does feel like family to me, anyway, what’s up with Zero”. Yuki shrugged “I don’t know, he hasn’t been to classes and hasn’t been out patrolling with me, and I want to make sure he’s ok”. Dante looked at the classroom “Yagari’s in there”? Yuki nodded “Well, I’ll see what I can do”. Yuki smiled at Dante and then he walked into the classroom, Yagari looked at him and Bethany “So, you finally show up for class, being in this class full of Vampires who don’t seem to listen can get quiet awkward”. Yagari saw Bethany “Whose she”? Dante looked at Kaname, he stood up and walked towards Dante, he stopped and looked at Bethany “It’s a pleasure to meet another Demon, especially one that is a newborn”. Bethany looked at Kaname “It’s a pleasure to meet a Pureblood Vampire”. Dante rolled his eyes “So, you brought another one here, why is that”? Dante looked at Kaname “Well, seeing as I’m now in the Night Class, I can’t look after Yuki in the day, so I requested another Demon to do that, and plus I need another Demon to be here, the stench of Vampire is everywhere, and being with you guys for a long time makes my life suck”. Kaname smiled and walked away “Do as you want, just don’t cause damage”. Dante turned back to the door and opened “I’ll try to, but you know us Demons, wherever we go, we bring Hell with us”. Bethany walked to the door, Dante was till he stopped and looked at Yagari “Oh and by the way, when someone asks where another is, you should tell them”. Yagari just looked at Dante as he walked out of the room, he looked at Yuki and shrugged “He should be telling you, if you annoy the crap out of him”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante had taken Bethany to the Day Dorms, the Headmaster had given Bethany a room. Dante walked down the hallway with her “Tomorrow I want you to go to your classes and act like a normal Human girl, don’t use any of your powers till you have controlled them”. Bethany bowed her head and walked into the room, when the door closed Dante walked back down the corridor, he heard a door open and looked to his left to see Yori “Oh, it’s you, I thought it would be Yuki, why are you here”? Dante looked back at Bethany’s dorm “I was taking a new student to her dorm”. Yori looked down the hallway where Dante had been looking at “Strange, new students come in the Day time”. Dante shrugged “She arrived only a few hours ago, so she wasn’t able to come in the day”. Dante looked at Yori’s pyjamas “You have some weird pyjamas”. Yori looked down then at Dante “Well, that uniform doesn’t suit you”. Dante looked at the Night Class uniform and sighed “You win, anyway, I don’t want to keep you up, so I’ll leave”. Dante was about to continue walking when Yori grabbed his arm “Why don’t you stay a bit longer, I’ve been wide awake waiting for Yuki but she hasn’t come in a while, so please”. Dante looked at her “Alright, but if you fall asleep, I’m leaving”. Dante walked into her room, he saw two beds, he knew that the one of the left was Yuki’s, he sat on it and saw his coat on the end of the bed “So, how long have you and Yuki been friends for”? Yori sat on her bed with her legs crossed “Since we started junior year”. Dante remembered before he left Yuki had been excited about going into junior year “Wow, you’ve been friends for four years, bloody hell that’s a long time”. Yori smiled and Dante did as well “I have been wondering about you, Yuki didn’t really talk about you”. Dante shrugged “I guess she was a bit mad I left her here alone, but I don’t care if she is mad at me, but I where I went, I couldn’t take her”. The door opened and Dante saw Yuki walk in, he saw a patch on her neck and looked at it, he went into her mind ‘Why are Zero’s fang marks in your neck’? Yuki looked at Dante with widened eyes ‘How do you know, and how can you talk though my mind’? Dante stood up and looked at Yori “I’ll be leaving, it was nice talking to you”. Yori smiled, Dante looked at Yuki “Um… I still have your coat, I might give it to you now”. Dante watched her walk to the wardrobe and opened it, she took out Dante’s coat and handed it to him “Thank you, I have a favour to ask you though Yuki”. Yuki looked at Dante “There is a new student, she’s just down the hall from you, her name’s Bethany Campbell, I was wondering if you would help her around”. Yuki saluted “I will do my best big brother, you have my word”. Dante put his hand one her head and rubbed it “Thank you, she’s a bit shy so make sure no one asks her too many questions”. Yuki nodded and had her confident face on. Dante walked to the door and looked back at Yori “Enjoy your sleep, the both of you”. Dante closed the door and walked down the hallway, he put on his coat ‘Now I need something to eat and then get something to eat’. Dante sighed and walked down the stairs to the exit and left the Day Dorms.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Seventh Night: Dante was woken up again by Kaname “I want you to go and walk around the classes, make sure there is nothing out of place”. Dante groaned and got up and grabbed his uniform, he walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door, there was no answer and Dante slowly opened the door, he peaked his head in to see no one in the bathroom. He walked in and locked the door behind him, he put his uniform down and took off his shirt, he turned on the shower and took off the rest of his clothes, the shower was warm this time, he washed himself and washed his hair as well, his long hair went through his finger smoothly. When he had finished, he got out of the shower and dried himself, he looked into the mirror and looked at his reflection, his brown hair looked like Yuki’s, but his amber eyes were something that he hated, unlike the lower classes Demons, Full blooded Demons have the same coloured eyes, but he had to deal with it. He put on his uniform and opened the door to see Ruka and Rima standing at the doorway, Dante hadn’t down up his buttons, they looked at some of the scars that were showing “Damn, we were hoping to have a bath and shower before you”. Dante shrugged “Well, maybe next time you can try that again”. Dante walked past them, he went back into his and Kaname’s room and grabbed his shoes and socks, he walked out of the room and walked down the hallway to the stairs, he walked down the and sat down at the lounge, he put his socks and shoes on and then stood up, he walked out of the dorm and started buttoning up his shirts buttons, by the time he walked out of the Moon Dormitory gate, his buttons and tie were done up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked into the school, the Day class girls were checking him out as he walked past them “Wow, Dante Cross is walking out during the day, is he here for one of us”? Dane sighed and looked around ‘Nothing is out of place Kaname’. Dante saw both Yuki and Zero, he groaned as they walked towards him “What are you doing out in the day Dante, you know the rules”. Dante looked up at the sky “I don’t know, Kaname told me to come out but for no reason, but I was coming anyway to check on Bethany”. Yuki looked down at the ground “Um… she’s somewhere around her”. Dante looked at Yuki “What happened”? Yuki looked at Dante embarrassed “She um… went to the Headmaster, she was looking for you and was panicking”. Dante sighed and walked past them, Zero grabbed Dante’s arm “You brought another one of your kind into this school, didn’t you”. Dante looked at Zero “And, I need some help now that I’m in the Night Class now, and trust me it sucks having to do multiple things on my own, and why worry, she follows my orders anyway”. Zero let go of his arm “Besides, she’s a newborn so she’ll be less dangerous and I’m here so if anything happens, I can control her”. Zero looked at Dante “Whatever, I can’t trust Vampires nor Demons”. Zero walked away from them “Wait Zero”. Yuki watched as he walked away “Why can’t he trust those who I love”? Dante looked at Yuki, he felt her sadness, he hugged her and put his head on top of hers “Yuki, I may not be your brother, but I want you to be careful, I love you as well, and I want you to understand that if Zero doesn’t trust me, I don’t care”. Yuki looked up at him, she had tears running down her cheeks, she hugged him and Dante felt her tears go through his clothes “I love Kaname, yet Zero doesn’t want me to get close to him, but when you’re around, he has the urge to attack you, why is he like this”. Dante stroked his hand through her hair “He’s trained to be a Hunter, but after what had happened to him, his hatred for Vampires will still linger, but his hatred for Demons can only come from one thing, and that’s because we and Vampires have the same scent but if he has a reason, I want to find out why”. Dante saw Yori walk towards them “Anyway, I’d best be off, if Kaname knew that you had been crying on me, he’ll blow me apart again and I don’t want that to happen again”. Dante out his hand under Yuki’s chin and lifted it up so she looked at him “Now take care, and be yourself, you getting upset over me, it makes me want to cry for you”. Dante walked away from Yuki as Yori stood next to Dante.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked into the Headmasters office “Ah Dante, I was hoping you would come”. Dante saw Bethany, she sat on a chair looking down at the ground “She came in her wanting you, I don’t know why, but I’ll leave you two alone”. Kaien walked out of the room, Dante looked at Bethany “Explain”. Bethany looked at Dante scared “I don’t know what happened, but I smelt something bad and it scared me, I’m sorry Lord Dante”. Dante sighed and sat next to Bethany “I can’t be doing this all the time, if you smell something bad going on, you use you powers to contact me, as I can’t leave the Moon Dorm”. Bethany had tears run down her cheeks “I’m so stupid”. She put her hands over her face and cried, Dante put his hand around her shoulder and hugged her “When you are a newborn Demon, your sense’s go wild, but I know you are a strong girl, and all you have to do is be brave”. Bethany looked at Dante “How, I’m not sure on what’s happening around me, and when I think of my creator, I see death”. Dante stood up and walked to Kaien’s desk, he opened the draw and looked inside it, he took the green gem that Victoria had sent him “You see this”? Bethany nodded “This is a Demon Crystal, this one belongs to Victoria, your creator, because she has given this one up, I want you to have it”. Bethany rubbed her eyes “What does it do”? Dante smiled, he grabbed the green gem and its colour faded to white “If you wear it for a long time, the gem’s colour changes till it becomes the colour of your aura”. Dante handed the gem to Bethany, she took it and looked at it “It’s beautiful, where’s yours”. Dante grabbed his chest “I had given it to my Mistress years ago, but after she had died, I lost it, I haven’t been able to find it since her death”. Dante remembered when he had given his Demon Crystal to Juri, when she was pregnant with Yuki, it was a birthday present he had given to her, he let go of his chest and walked to the door “Now go back to class and stay in it, if I get told you are doing this again, I’ll send you back to the Demon order and you can deal with Vector”. Bethany got up and bowed, she walked out of the office, as she did, Kaien walked in “So is she alright”? Dante shrugged “Don’t know, but she should be able to continue through the day, anyway I’d best get going”. Dante walked past Kaien “Why are you out in the day”? Dante stopped and looked back at Kaien “How the hell should I know, Kaname told me to patrol for the day, but he never said why”. Kaien shrugged “Well, just don’t cause any trouble, and could you come over tonight, I want to speak with you privately without any interruptions”. Dante nodded and walked away from his office.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante had arrived back to the Moon Dorm, after being mauled by Day Class female students he was glad he had gotten back, he opened the door and walked in exhausted, he hit the lounge and lay down on it, he heard footsteps and looked up to see Rima and Senrie “Oh, we thought we heard the door open”. Dante saw Rima holding a packed of chocolate sticks “He’s a bit fat”. Dante frowned and rolled over, he looked at his stomach “I’m not fat, I’m average, you two are as thin as a twig”. They both looked at their stomachs and shrugged “So, we’re models, want you”. Rima offered Dante a chocolate stick, he took one and ate it “Thanks, now what do you want, I’m tired and want to sleep”. Senrie took out a letter and handed it to Dante “This came for you, we’re not sure what it is, but it might be something good”. Dante took the letter and opened to, it read.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> ‘Dear Dante

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Your publishers are getting a bit inpatient, then want you to send in your book otherwise they will rip up your contract. I really like working with you, so I’m coming down to check up on you, I will be there in a day.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Your editor

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Maryanne Hughes’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante burnt the letter with his fire “Shit, I have some work to do and I need a quiet place to do it”. Dante stood up and walked up the stairs, he walked to his and Kaname’s room till he saw Aido standing in front of it “What do you want Demon”? Dante rolled his eyes and walked to the door “Kaname’s in there and doesn’t want to be disturbed”. Dante raised an eyebrow “Well I don’t care if he’s in there, that’s my room as well, and till I get a room with a bed, then I will give him some peace”. Dante pushed Aido out of the way and walked into the room, he saw Kaname lying on his lounge “What’s wrong with your bed, its more comfortable then that lounge”. Kaname looked at Dante “What do you want, I’m trying to think”. Dante walked to his bag and grabbed his laptop bag “Just need to get my laptop and write more of my book, oh and one more thing, how long can a Pureblood Vampire last without having any blood”. Kaname looked at Dante “Never mind, just don’t touch my stuff, some of that stuff is dangerous to Vampires”. Dante walked out of the room and looked to the side to see Akatsuki helping Aido up “You jerk, what’s your problem”? Dante shrugged “I’m a Demon, I hate aristocrats for many reasons”. Dante walked past them, Aido was yelling at Dante but he just ignored him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat on the roof of the building, he saw Day Class students staring at him, and he opened up his laptop, he opened up word and it came up with his book and he looked at where he had left it, the idea Takuma had given him wasn’t enough, so he had to delete it and started over again, he had written it about the incident with Juri and Rido, he knew it would bring emotion to him, but he needed a story and it was the only one he could really write about, Dante sighed and looked at the roof that he sat on, he saw a woman standing on the other end of the roof, Dante looked at her and saw that it was Juri “You’ve been busy, haven’t you Dante”? She smiled and vanished, Dante shook his head and looked at where Juri sat, he put a hand to his head and groaned ‘What is happening to me, why does she invade my mind’? Dante looked up at the blue sky, the clouds had taken twisted shapes ‘Why did you have to die’? Dante heard the door open and Yuki walked onto the roof, she saw him and pointed at him “There you are, I have been looking for you for the last hour”. Dante stared at her blankly “Why, did I do something”? Yuki walked to him and sat on his lap and she looked at him “I want you to be around with me, we should spend some time together at least”. Dante looked at his laptop “I really have a lot of work to do”. Yuki looked at Dante “Fine, but only for a while”. Yuki jumped off him and got up, Dante stood up and grabbed his laptop and put it into his laptop bag, he followed Yuki off the roof “So where are we going”? Yuki shrugged “I don’t know, but maybe somewhere quiet”. Dante sighed and they walked down the stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante and Yuki walked through the town, she wore a pink jumper whilst Dante wore his black coat “I hate coming to this town”. Yuki looked at Dante “Every time I enter this town, something bad happens to me or those around me”. Dante looked around, he could see a couple of Hunters as they walked through the town “Maybe you have bad luck or something”? Dante shrugged “Probably, or I might just have a habit of bringing trouble”. Dante kept an eye out for Victoria or any other Level E’s who were working for her or her unknown Master “Anyway, why are you wearing a neck bandage, new fashion”. Yuki frowned and punched Dante’s arm “I’m not into fashion, besides, it’s the only way to stop Aido or anyone else from pulling off the Band-Aid off my neck”. Dante smiled “Well, it looks a bit strange when you’re wearing it, but if it’s the only way to stop them from taking it off, then fair enough”. Dante stopped and looked down the road and saw Juri again “Are you ok”? Dante looked around the area “Let’s go here”. Dante felt Yuki grab his arm and pull him into a shop, when they entered it, Yuki let go of him and looked at what was in the shop “Wow, this shop is amazing, it has lots of things in it”. Dante saw that it was a jewellery store, Dante looked at some of the jewels, there were rings as well as necklaces, some had rare gems with gold or silver, Dante looked at Yuki and she held out a bracelet, it had a violet gem in the middle of it “Here, I want you to buy this for yourself”. Dante raised an eyebrow “How much does it cost”? Yuki shrugged, Dante sighed and put his hand on her head “Alright, but I’m buying you something as well”. Dante had seen a ring in the shop before, he saw it and picked it up, it had a tribal design on the outside, but on the inside it was clear silver “Wow, its beautiful, alright then, I will have it, but you are still buying”. Dante smiled and looked around for the shop keeper “Hey, anyone in here, we like to buy two things here”. There was no answer, Dante handed Yuki the ring and walked to the backroom “What are you doing”? Dante looked back at Yuki “I’m just seeing if the store owner is out back, I promise I won’t do anything stupid”. Yuki looked at Dante, he walked out back and saw the room was empty “Hello, is there anyone here or anything”. Dante saw a shattered glass and knelt next to it, he saw a bit of blood on it “Hey, what are you doing in here”? Dante looked up and saw a man in his forties standing in front of him “I called to see if anyone was in here, but didn’t get an answer so I went here to see if anyone was”. The man looked at Dante “What did you want”. Dante looked at the man, he couldn’t smell any trace of Vampire nor Hunter “To buy something, a bracelet and a ring, if that’s alright”. The owner nodded “I may as well, business has been slow for a while, even since that academy opened, I used to get lots of customers, but after the murders started happening, people stay away from some stores, like mine”. Dante and the shop keeper walked out “Really, when was this”? The shop keeper saw Yuki and went behind the counter “Three years ago, but I don’t think you would want to know how”. Dante leaned over the glass counter “I wouldn’t mind, I’m a bit of an investigator”. The shop keeper looked at Dante “Well, there is a group known as Vampire Hunters, well you see four years ago, one of the Hunter families was killed, I think they were called the Kiryu’s or something”. Yuki gasp, Dante looked at Yuki then back at the shop keeper “Any way, they say it was by creatures known as Vampires, anyway a year later, people started to disappear, and when they were found, they were dead and all their blood had been drain, creepy”. Dante took out his wallet and took out his card “Seen worst pal, those creatures, Vampires, they’re not the only creature that the Hunters should be worried about”. The shop keeper shrugged, he took Dante’s card and swiped it, Dante put in his pin and it accepted it “Yeah, but I don’t really care, just as long as the Hunters don’t cause me any trouble”. Dante took the bracelet and ring, he thanked the shop keeper and he and Yuki walked out “So, what was that all about”? Dante shrugged “Grown up stuff”. Dante gave Yuki the ring and he put on the bracelet “Come on, let’s head back”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante and Yuki reached the top of the stairs, Zero was waiting for them “What the hell do you think you are doing, taking Yuki to that town”? Yuki put her hands on her hips “Excuse me, but Dante can protect me as well, and unlike you and Kaname, he’s the only one that doesn’t treat me like a child”. Dante shrugged “I’m doing that because I know you hate being treated like one, anyway, I’d best be heading back to the Moon Dorm, I have to finish off my book before my editor gets here”. Dante walked away from them, he could hear Yuki yelling at Zero, he smiled “She’s just like me”. Dante turned and saw Juri “Why are you here”? Juri smiled then she faded away, Dante put his hand over his eyes and laughed “I’m just seeing things, she’s not there”. Dante looked at the sky “If there’s something you want, just come and find me”. Dante continued to walk down the pathway. As Dante was walking, he walked into Yori, she dropped her books “Crap, I’m sorry”. Dante knelt down and picked up her books, when he stood up he looked into her eyes, she looked into his “You have amazing eyes, an amazing amber colour”. Dante smiled “Yeah, so do you”. Yori blushed and looked away, Yori took her books from Dante and walked past him “See you around”. Dante watched her walk away from him, he sighed and looked ahead to see Juri, Dante walked to her and stood in front of her “You have a terrible thing with women, especially those who look your age”. Dante looked at her “Why are you here, you’re dead, you aren’t even supposed to be around”? Juri sighed and walked away, Dante walked with her “That tattoo on your wrist is why, I’m able to come to you as a spirit, but only you can see me, no one else, not even Kaname or Yuki”. Dante looked at Juri as they walked “So, Yuki, she really is your daughter, but how is she human”. Juri looked at Dante “No, you didn’t use that spell, the spell I told you never to use”. Juri looked away “We wanted to protect Yuki, it was the only way save her from Rido, but you should understand, you are her servant”. Dante shook his head “No, she’s Human not Vampire, I can’t be her servant if she is Human”. Juri stopped and looked at Dante, she put her hands on his face “I know, but no matter what, you still would be her servant, and friend”. Dante took her hand “But I want to warn you my dear Dante, Rido is still alive, but hasn’t been full resurrected, so watch what is happening around you”. Dante looked at her, she let go of Dante’s face and looked at him “You know, I just want to do you thing before I go, something I wanted to do when you helped Haruka save me”. Juri kissed Dante’s lips and then looked at him, Dante looked at her surprised “Wow, never knew you had a crush on me”. Juri smiled and started to fade “Good-bye Dante, till next time”. Juri faded away leaving Dante standing alone along the pathway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stayed in the Moon Dorm tonight, he told Kaname about what had happened to him earlier in the day with Juri, Kaname told Dante to stay back for the night, Dante lay on the lounge, he looked at the butterfly tattoo on his wrist ‘Why is this happening to me, why now’? Dante felt a vibration come from his pocket, he took it out and looked at his phone, the number was his editor’s, he sighed and answered it “Hello Maryanne”. The voice on the other end was a happy voice “Thank god Dante, you haven’t been replying to my emails, how’s the book going”. Dante rolled his eyes “Great, and why the hell are you coming up here for, I have been typing my new book”. Dante yawned and looked around the room “Look Dante, as your editor I have to make sure you get you books published and so far you publishers aren’t happy that you haven’t handed in you book”. Dante looked at the roof “What would they know about writing a book, I have written around three books, this one will be my fourth, so what’s up with the rush”? There was silence, till he heard Maryanne clear her throat “Mr Cross, I want you to understand that your publishers only want your books to be published is because they know how much you would get for each book, you’re an author that can make people cry and want to read it more, that’s why and I am coming over to check on you, they want to make sure you are feeling well”. Dante groaned and looked at his phone “Whatever, I got to go”. Dante hung up and threw his phone onto his bag and closed his eyes and dreamt, of the times, he was serving Juri Kuran.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> “Juri, you know that Dante is meant to serve your older Brother, but since he betrayed him, you know that he is to be executed”. Dante knelt in the old sewage water, rats were crawling over his legs, he looked up at Juri and a man “But Rido was to kill me, and you telling me that he can’t serve me”. Dante heard Juri’s tears “We’re sorry, but rules are rules, he is to be executed tomorrow at dawn”. Dante laughed, Juri and the man looked at him “Killing me won’t do much, I wasn’t blood bonded with Rido, but when Rido made me take Juri, Haruka cut me and Juri and my blood connected, that is why I turned against Rido”. The man clicked his fingers and the chain’s around Dante’s wrist were pulled, stretching Dante’s body, he wince in pain and looked at Juri “What nonsense are you talking about, blood bonds are myths, they were used once when our Ancestors were created, as well as your kind, I thought the previous Kuran servant would have told you”. Dante laughed again and looked at the man, eyes glowing violet “I am the Kuran Servant, one of the first Demons created, and I chose my master well, and Mistress Juri is now my Master”. The man looked at Juri then at Dante “Stop this Ichio, this is too much for Juri”. Dante knew it was Haruka, he looked down and smiled “Lord Haruka, we need to deal with this creature right now, if not done he’ll turn against you as well”. Dante heard Haruka’s footsteps coming closer “I know he won’t, as he said before, he has a blood bond, and I say Juri does what she wants, isn’t that right, Dante”. Dante looked up “Those are the rules, you ancestor Kaname and I did the same thing, and not one of my previous Masters has done it, until today, so it is your choice, my Mistress”. Juri looked at Dante “Ichio I want you to set Dante free, and give him back his things, he shall be working for me”. The man Ichio looked at Juri “As you wish, but I am doing this because it is my duty to protect the Purebloods”. Dante felt the chains unlock, he stood up and the cage over him opened and he climbed out, Juri smiled and hugged Dante, ignoring the smell of sewage over him “I want to thank you for saving me from Rido”. Dante put his hand on her head “And I’m glad that bond was made, so I can now protect you and those around you”. Dante looked at Haruka “I should thank you as well, for delaying Rido’s time”. Dante and Haruka shook hands “Now if you two don’t mind, I’d like to take a bath and wash all of this crap off, so I can get to work”. Dante walked with Juri and Haruka out of the room, and Dante knew that his time with Juri, would make him proud.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Eight Night: Dante woke up and looked around the room, he couldn’t see Kaname around, he heard a knock at the door and a maid walked in “Oh, Master Cross, sorry to wake you”. The maid was a young woman with glasses “That’s okay, I was waking up anyway”. Dante stood up and stretched out “Anyway, there is a woman waiting for you, a Miss Maryanne Hughes”. Dante grabbed a shirt and put it on “Thank you, hey where’s Kaname”? The maid pointed down the hallway towards Kaname’s study “Should’ve known, anyway I’d best deal with Miss Hughs”. Dante walked down the hallway and down the stairs, a woman in a pair of jeans, white polo-shirt and leather jacket sat on one of the lounges, she saw him and stood up “Mr Cross, it’s nice to finally meet you”. Dante had forgotten that he and Maryanne had never seen each other, Dante and her shook hands “As you, so how can I help you”? Maryanne folded her arms and looked at him “Oh that’s right, yeah I was able to finish it, though I recommend you read it first, I want someone else’s opinion on it, and can you tell the publishers not to bring it out till the end of next month”. Maryanne nodded, Dante walked back up the stairs, Maryanne followed him, he saw Aido and Akatsuki walking towards them, they stopped and looked at them “Whose she, you know you can’t bring anyone up here”. Dante rolled his eyes “She’s my editor, she’s just coming to get my book and she’ll be out”. Aido gritted his teeth “Hey Hanabusa, calm down a bit, you know Dorm President Kuran doesn’t want you getting in Dante’s way”. Aido looked at Dante “How can you side with him, even my own cousin, turning against me”. Dante smirked and walked into his and Kaname’s room, he took out a USB and handed it to Maryanne “It’s in this, but I haven’t been able to find a title for it”. Maryanne looked at the USB “So that’s why you wanted it to be delayed, well I’ll see what I can do”. Maryanne walked out of the room leaving Dante, he sighed and walked out of the room and walked to Kaname’s study, he walked in and saw Kaname lying on his lounge, Kaname didn’t look at him “Is something the matter”? Dante crossed his arms and leaned on the door “Just thinking, why you hate me”? There was a knock at the door “Kaname, sleep well”. Dante knew it was Takuma’s voice “I don’t hate you, it’s just that you and I aren’t a good mix in style, you are loud and rebellious”. Dante smirked when he said that “Whilst I am humble and quiet”. Dante shrugged, and then they heard a scream coming from outside the door “MY GRANDFATHER IS COMING HERE TONIGHT”. Dante groaned “What’s wrong with Ichio”? Dante looked at Kaname “Let’s just say, with a have bad history together, that’s all”. Kaname got up and walked to the door “Well then, we’d best get ready for Ichio’s arrival”. Dante sighed and opened the door for Kaname, Kaname walked out then Dante followed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante wore a tight black thermal t-shirt, black jeans, black boots and had a knife tied to his thigh. He juggled the knife till he heard Kaname walk down the stairs “Kaname please, you don’t have to worry about him, he’s probably coming to see me”. Dante heard the doors open and saw the man he had seen since he had first served Juri, he had Takuma’s features only his ears were pointed, he had a beard and green earrings “I wasn’t expecting a welcoming from you all”. Dante and Ichio’s eyes came into contact “I see Lady Kuran’s dog is here, pathetic creature you are”. Dante gripped his knife and held in so the blade was going down his arm “Don’t insult my late Master, you senate dog”. Everyone looked at Dante and Ichio “Calm down Dante, go for a walk or even better, hunt down this Level E for me”. Dante looked at Kaname, he held a note, Dante walked to Kaname and took it, and he walked to the door but stopped beside Ichio “I hope we find a way of killing your kind”. Dante smirked “And I hope that this knife will be in your heart and stays there whilst you suffer a slow death”. Dante put his knife in its hoist and walked out of the dorm, when the doors closed, Dante looked back “Shit head of a Vampire”. Dante walked down the pathway, out of the Moon Dormitory.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked through the streets at night, he looked at the moon, he could hear a group of Level E’s behind him “Lovely moon, isn’t it”? He turned around and looked at them, he could see their crimson eyes staring at them, and their fangs were out “Yes it is, but I bet your blood is lovelier”. Dante took out his knife and looked at it “Let’s see, there are four of you and one of me, how would this work”? One of the Level E’s lunged at Dante, he dodged its claws then stabbed his knife in its back turning it to ash, the other three looked at him “Well come on, my blood is all yours”. The three attacked Dante at once, he kicked the first one in the face knocking him back, he blocked an attack from the second and kicked the third in the gut, and he stabbed his knife into the seconds head then cut it off, he looked at the third, it looked at him “You’re not a Hunter, what are you”? Dante looked at the knifes blade and looked at the blood on it “A servant of the Pureblood Kaname Kuran”. The Level E ran away from Dante, he threw the knife and it hit the Level E in the back of the head, it exploded into ash and his knife stuck out from the ground, he walked to the pile of ash and empty clothes, he picked up his knife and wiped the blood off with the clothes, he put his knife away and looked back at the moon “You really love the moon, don’t you”? Dante turned and saw Victoria standing across him “So, is this were we finish each other off”? Victoria shook her head “When my Master has awoken, he’ll decide on that fate, right now I just came to give you something”. She took out a box and threw it to him, he caught it and looked at it “You might like it, or maybe not”. Dante watched her vanish, he looked at the box and opened it to see a shattered black crystal, Dante gritted his teeth and threw the box to the ground “Son of a bitch, she’s killing her own kind off”. Dante put his hand over his eye and laughed, he looked at the moon with his violet eyes “If you want to kill your kind, just kill me already”. Dante walked away and disappeared into the night.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante arrived back at the Moon Dorm, when he walked in, there was no one around “He’s probably left already”. Dante closed the door, he turned around and saw Ichio standing with Takuma “I could smell the Devil himself coming, but thought it was your stench wreaking the building”. Dante rolled his eyes and walked to the stairs “You know, that your kind are the most pathetic creatures you have no respect for your Masters and can’t even follow a simple order”. Dante took out his knife and threw it towards Ichio, it missed him and went into the wall next to him “Don’t you say shit about my kind asshole”. Dante walked up the stairs, and around the corner, he saw Ruka leaning on the wall “What’s wrong with you, Kaname’s being a drama queen again”? Ruka looked at Dante, he saw sadness in her eyes “What would you know”? Dante walked to her and looked at her “I know everything about Kaname, things he doesn’t know about himself, and I know when someone is upset about him, so hiding the fact that you like him won’t do anything”. Ruka looked into Dante’s eyes “Who are you, really”? Dante looked away and walked down the hallway “I’m just a creature who everyone hates, Humans, Hunters and Vampires, they hate my kind, and always will”. Dante walked to Kaname’s study and entered it, Kaname wasn’t in. Dante walked to his desk and sat in his chair, he looked at the chessboard on his desk “Still playing chess with himself”. Dante picked up one of the chess pieces, it was the knight “Who might this be then”. Dante put the knight piece back onto the chessboard and stood up “What is Kaname planning, what does he want with us”. Dante heard the door open and Kaname walked in “I see you have been looking at my chess set”. Dante put his hands on the table “What are you planning, are you going to use us as pawns and send us to our deaths”. Kaname looked at Dante “That depends, the students of the Night Dorm are my pawns, Yuki is my Queen, you weren’t even one of the pieces you’re just someone that should be here”. Dante looked at Kaname “So why did you call me here then, if it wasn’t just to protect Yuki, then what was it”? Kaname walked around the desk to Dante “I know only you can kill Demons, I have known about Victoria for a while, she isn’t a piece as well, but her Master is”. Dante looked at Kaname “You think it is him, the brother of Juri and Haruka, Rido Kuran”. Kaname looked out the window “He’s the only one who would send Level E’s to come after you, as well as the Demon Victoria”. Dante sighed and leaned on the table “I had a feeling it was him, but I thought Haruka had killed him that night, the night when Juri was killed”. Kaname put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “I damaged his body, leaving him to pieces but he killed Haruka, whilst I could not”. Dante sighed and walked to the door “You do know what will happen if Rido and I meet, he might still have power over me, and you can imagine what he use my powers for”. Kaname sat in his chair “I know, but I also know that you can turn against him, as you did centuries ago”. Dante looked back at Kaname “We’ll have to see when he has awoken, but right now, I’m not letting that son of a bitch touch her or any of his servants”. Kaname smiled and bowed his head “Then I am glad I have you back here, you are the final piece, the piece that isn’t on the chessboard, but in her life”. Dante bowed and walked out of the study.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante was called to Kaien’s office, he entered and saw Zero standing in front of Kaien’s desk “Dante, I need your help with something”. Dante walked to his desk and stood next to Zero “Zero has been given his first assignment as a Hunter, but he’ll need someone to help him, I want you to go with him”. Dante and Zero looked at each other, they looked back at Kaien “Hell no, he’ll waste is bullets on my instead”. Kaien sighed and stood up “Dante, you knew the Kiryu’s before Zero was born, am I correct”. Dante looked at Kaien “You know who killed his parents, and you let her go, so this is a favour you are owe him and his family”. Dante looked away “Whatever, but I’m not killing it though”. Dante walked out of the office and walked down the hallway ‘Why should I deal with Hunter assignments, it wasn’t my fault I let Shizuka get away’. Dante walked down the stairs and saw Bethany walking with Yuki “Dante, what are you doing here”? Dante shrugged “I don’t know, I was called to your fathers office for some reason, but he didn’t want me, so now I’m just doing whatever”. Yuki stormed to Dante and stood in front of him with her hands on her hips “As a prefect I won’t allow you to do whatever you want, you will go back to your dorm”. Dante laughed and leaned on the wall “What’s so funny”? Dante looked at Yuki and put his hand on her shoulder “I forgot what you looked like when you are angry, and seeing it has brought back those memories I had when I was living with you for the six years before I left”. Dante put his hand on her cheek and smiled “You remind me of someone I used to know, before she died”. Dante saw Juri behind Bethany, she had blood pouring from her forehead, Dante’s eye widened and his head was pounding, he grabbed it and fell to the ground “Dante, what’s wrong, Bethany go get the Headmaster”. Bethany ran past Dante and Yuki but then stopped, she grabbed her head and fell to the ground “Bethany”. Dante looked up at Juri, she was smiling and then she changed, to the one man he hated, Rido Kuran, he saw his red and blue eye “I will have the girl”. Dante dug his nails into the ground cracking it “SHUT UP”. After saying that, the pain had stopped, Dante breathed heavily and looked up where Rido stood, he was gone “Bethany, you alright”? Bethany got up and made a sound “Yes Master”. Dante stood up weakly, Bethany helped him up with Yuki “Bethany, I want you to contact Vector, he needs to be down here, send him”. Bethany nodded and ran down the corridor, Yuki struggled to keep Dante up “Just put me down”. Yuki sat Dante against the wall, he sat there and grabbed his throat “What’s wrong, are you wanting blood”? Dante looked at Yuki, he could tell she was going to give him her blood “If you are offering your blood, I won’t take it, I can only take the blood of a Vampire, besides, I’m not that thirsty just yet”. Dante looked at the wall ahead of him “Why did you send Bethany to get a guy named Vector”? He looked at Yuki “Vector is another Demon, he’s my second in command but he is able to pick up any strong readings that other Demons can’t, and whatever that thing was that hit both Bethany and I, he will be able to find its source”. Dante grabbed the window silt and slowly picked himself up “I need to inform Kaname of this”. Dante grabbed his chest and fell back down “What’s wrong, Bethany got the same pain but is normal, you are weak and can’t get up”. Dante looked at Yuki “Because the force was made for me, not her, she got the pain but didn’t affect her like it affected me”. Dante heard footsteps and saw Zero running down the stairs with Kaien, Kaien ran to Dante and knelt to next to him “Dante, what’s wrong”? Dante grabbed Kaien’s shoulder and looked at him, his eyes changed violet and his fangs were out “Someone is trying to bring out my true form”. Dante groaned and his ribs cracked “Zero take Yuki away, I’ll deal with Dante”. Zero went to Yuki and grabbed her “No I want to stay with Dante”. Dante’s back cracked and he winced in pain “Yuki please go, I don’t want you to see my form”. Zero took Yuki away, whilst Kaien helped Dante up “Take me to that cell of yours”. Kaien shook his head “It won’t hold you, besides I know one way to stop this”. Dante looked at Kaien “I need to be in that cell till Vector gets here, if you do something else I will destroy this school and everyone else”. Kaien sighed and took him down the stairs “Alright, but I’ll have to tell Kaname”. When they reached the bottom, Kaname stood in front of them “I already know, Dante is transforming into the hideous creature that scares anyone who see it”. Dante felt his arm tighten, he winced and looked at Kaname “Kaname, help me take Dante into the cell quickly”. Kaname looked at Dante for a minute then helped Kaname carry Dante “What triggered it, thirst”? Dante shook his head “A sound, a sound that was used by the first Purebloods to trigger our forms making us stronger, but once we change, it’ll take a while for us to change back”. Dante felt his back stretch, he cried in pain and felt his vision change “Kaname, wound me”. Kaname looked at Dante “I don’t care how, but it’ll slower the transformation till you get me into that cell”. Kaname raised his arm and stubbed his hand into Dante’s stomach, he pulled his arm out and Dante fell to the floor, his eyes felt heavy and he passed out.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante woke up in a small enclosed room, he felt chains around his arms, he saw Kaien and Yagari standing in front of him “I’d never thought I’d see a form of a Demon”. Dante’s eyes widened, he looked at his arms and saw black skin, he looked at the rest of his body and gripped the chains “We’re sorry Dante, we couldn’t stop it”. Dante tore the chains out of the wall and grabbed his head “Headmaster, I want to see Dante”. Dante looked up hearing Yuki’s voice, he looked at Yagari “Throw me your coat”. Yagari took off his coat and threw it at Dante, he caught it and hid himself, he sat in a dark corner, he heard the door barge open and Yuki walk in “Where is he”? Dante curled up in a ball with the coat shield him from her sight “Dante is that you”? Dante growled “Yuki, stay away, I don’t want you to see me”. Dante heard footsteps but knew it wasn’t Yuki’s, but Kaname’s “Why not show her, it might show what a foul creature you are”. Dante felt the coat be grabbed and pulled away, Dante jumped to a darker corner “I don’t what her to see me, why can’t any of you understand it”. Yuki looked at Dante “Dante, what’s wrong”. Dante looked at her, his violet eyes shorn from the darkness “Jesus Dante, you sure are a shy person”. A young man with a tanned coat stood in the doorway, he had a tanned hat, he had bright blue eyes that looked at Dante “I’m sorry, but you shouldn’t be here”. The man looked at Kaien surprised “Wow, it’s been a while since I last saw you Kaien Cross, you probably don’t remember me much but I remember you”. The man took off his hat showing his bright blue hair, he walked to Dante and knelt in front of him “Crap, you look like shit Lord Dante”. He touched Dante’s black skin and rubbed it “Strange, this is your real form, but something’s not right about it, the skins coming off”. Dante looked at the man’s hand, he saw black powder on the his hand, the man looked at his watch “You have about one minute left of being like this, but I would recommend these people to leave, especially the girl, hey Cyclops, get Lord Dante some clothes, otherwise he blind the poor girl”. Yagari groaned and walked out with everyone else, when they left the man closed the door “Thank god you came Vector, but how the hell did you get in so fast”? Vector looked at Dante “I’m an Earth Demon remember, I went through the ground to get here”. Dante had forgotten, Dante looked at his arm and saw it change back to his human skin, he looked down and saw that his pants were torn but covering him “Now what’s the real reason I’m here”? Dante stood up and put on Yagari’s coat “There was something that changed me, a sound of something that made me hallucinate, and I know you can find these things, and I want you to”. Vector bowed “I will start now, whilst checking out the cute girls”. Dante put his hand to his head, Vector smirk and walked to the door, he opened it and Yuki stood at the door, she looked at Dante and ran to him, she hugged and held on “I thought something bad happened to you”. Dante hugged her back “Something did, but it wouldn’t stop me from being with you”. Yuki looked up at Dante “Hey Black, here’s your clothes”. Yagari threw a bag on the floor, Dante went to it and picked it up, he took off Yagari’s coat and threw it at him “Yuki, why don’t you go to bed and get some sleep, you’ll need it”. Yuki saluted and nodded “I will do my best, Lord Dante”. Dante froze as she said that, she ran past him and the others “What’s wrong my Lord”? Dante looked at Vector “I have never been called ‘Lord’ before by her, that’s a first, now leave me”. Vector bowed and walked out of the room, Dante sighed and looked at the broken chains ‘If that’s a warning Rido, it’s not going to stop me’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Ninth Night: Dante sat in the classroom with Kaname and the rest of the Night Class students, he had his laptop out and was playing music with his headphones in, he felt someone tap his shoulder and saw that it was Takuma, he paused his music and took off his headphones “I don’t mean to interfere but Kaname has a request”. Dante looked at Kaname, he was staring at Dante “Turn your music down, I’m trying to read in peace”. Dante sighed and turned the music down a bit, he played it and looked at Kaname “Much better”. Dante heard laughter and saw a girl sitting on one of the front tables “Who are you”? The girl jumped from the table in front of Aido and put her hands on his cheeks, Dante felt a strange presence coming from the girl, she jumped to the table Dante was sitting at and was kneeling for Kaname and rubbing her cheek on his hand “Oh Kaname Kuran, you’re the first Pureblood I’ve seen”. Dante rolled his eyes and put his headphones back on till something hit Dante in the back of the head “HEY WHAT THE FUCK”? He saw the girl kneeling next to him “You must be Dante, the last Demon I saw was murdered in front of my eyes, but you smell stronger then that one”. Dante looked at her confused “Um… Kaname, who the hell is she”. The girl looked at Dante’s screen “You an author, well, I’m Maria Kurenai, and you must be Dante”. Dante raised an eyebrow, he closed his laptop and took out his headphone “I’m off, I probably should go and train Bethany, if that’s alright Kaname”. Kaname nodded and Dante walked to the door leaving the room. When he left, he stood against the door “Could it be her”? He heard the door open and saw the girl Maria come out from the other door, he looked at her as she did to him “I know you can sense me, Dante”. Dante stood in the middle of the hallway and looked at her “Why are you here, not to kill me or Zero I take it”. Maria smiled and skipped to Dante and looked up at him “Why would I try and kill you, but your blood surely will be tasty”. She reached for his neck but Dante grabbed her by the neck “Don’t even try it, you aren’t like the Shizuka”. Dante felt something poke into his back, he turned and saw a man with white hair and a mask standing behind him, poking a katana into his back “So, I see you have a new bodyguard”. Maria smile and took Dante’s laptop and opened it “Wow, you sure have a lot of songs in one device, and is this your new book”. Dante looked at Maria “I take it Zero doesn’t know you’re here, Ichiru Kiryu”. The man stabbed Dante in the back so the blade went straight through “Now, now Ichiru, that’s no way to treat the creature that saved me”. Dante looked at the blade and grabbed it “Interesting blade, but it’s a shit one at that”. Ichiru pulled the katana out of him and put it away “How did you know it was Ichiru though”? Dante looked at the blood on his chest as it was spreading through his vest “Zero and him smell alike when Human, besides I saw him years ago, remember”. Maria smiled and handed him back his laptop “Well, I’ll see you around”. She skipped away but Dante grabbed her arm “What happened to Lilith, your Demon servant”? Maria sighed and looked at him “She was killed by another one of your kind, a girl with electricity and white clothes, I hope you know who she is and will kill her”. Dante shrugged “That’s a request that I can’t make, as she is working for the monster that that killed Haruka and Juri and the one you hate the most”. Maria looked at Dante scared “Lady Maria, you shouldn’t listen to this monster”. Maria put her hand on Ichiru’s sleeve “He’s telling the truth though, and when a full blooded Demon says something, it’s usually true”. Maria looked at Dante “I want you to make sure no one interferes with me, even if it’s Kaname”. Dante looked at her “As long as you leave her alone”. Maria smiled and skipped away “That’ll depend if you leave her out of it”. Maria and Ichiru had left him alone in the hallway.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante woke up early in the morning, he saw that Kaname was still sleeping, he snuck out of the room and went to the bathroom to see it closed, Dante sighed and walked away but heard Takuma calling out Maria’s name, he turned and saw Maria running away from Takuma, they ran past him before he could ask what was going on. Dante heard the bathroom door open and turned to see Rima standing at the door naked, Dante turned away “What the hell are you doing, out something on”. Rima looked at herself and grabbed a towel “What’s up with Takuma”? Dante shrugged “Chasing the new girl, anyway, if Kaname asks where I am, tell him I’m seeing Kaien”. Dante walked away without looking back at Rima “Hey, whilst your out, can you get some sweets for Senrie and I”. Dante stood still for a moment and looked at Rima “I’m not going down to the store, but if I do, I’ll see what they have”. Dante walked down the stairs and saw the front door open, he sighed and walked to it and walked out to see Takuma still chasing Maria, he smiled and walked to the gate.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked through the school, he heard the girls getting excited as he walked past them ‘Kill me now, I’d rather be the school doctor again’. Dante saw Yuki, Zero and Yori ahead of him, Yuki saw him and frowned “What are you doing out in the day”? Dante looked at Yuki, he put his hand on her head and patted it “Calm it, I’m not bloody Kaname or the other Night Class students, besides, you try staying awake during the day being as bored as hell, because its sucks”. Zero grabbed Dante’s hand and took it off Yuki’s head “You shouldn’t be out, she just said”. Dante pulled his hand away and walked behind Yori, he put his hands on her shoulders “I’m just trying to get away from Kaname otherwise he’ll be making me do errands that concern me having to go to the Night Class’s parents, besides I’d like to get to know some of the Day Class Students”. Yori blushed, Yuki smiled “I see you like Yori, Dante you mean man”. Dante looked at Yuki “Says the Kaname lover, besides I think Yori’s a pretty girl, better looking than you, Zero and the Night Class students”. Yuka was trying to think of something to say till they heard Takuma’s voice, they saw him chasing after Maria “He’s still chasing her, I thought he would’ve caught her already”. He looked at Zero and saw him gritting his teeth “Yuki I want you to stay away from that transfer student”. Dante agreed till Aido came “Come on, I came out to get away from you guys and you r just following me out”. Aido ignored Dante and hugged Yuki “You are so warm and smell nice”. Dante grabbed Aido’s collar pulling him off Yuki “Knock it off, Kaname would smack you one if he found out what you were just doing”. Zero called Aido’s name “I want to talk to you alone”. Dante let go of Aido and watched them walk away “I’m worried”. Dante and Yuki looked at Yori “Don’t worry about them, I’m sure they’re just going to talk about something”. Dante rolled his eyes and looked at a crowd of girls “I’m meant by you”. Yuki handed Yori her books and ran away as the crowd of girls ran after her “Well, she’ll be fine”. Yori looked at the crowd as it disappeared “I hope so, but now I have to walk to class alone”. Dante looked at Yori and bowed “Shall I walk with you to your class”? Yori looked at Dante and blushed “Alright, but you’re holding your sisters books”. Yori handed Dante Yuki’s books and walked down the walk way “Are you going to that dance”? Dante looked at Yori “Why, you want to dance with me”? Yori blushed “I’m just asking if you’ll be there”. Dante smiled “I might be doing the music, and dancing, but if you would like, I can have one dance with you”. Yori looked at Dante and smiled “I’ll think about it”. Dante looked a head at the girls as they passed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked Yori to her class and saw girls squealing as he entered “I’ll go my way now, but I hope to see you at the dance though”. Dante handed Yori back Yuki’s books and walked out of the classroom, he stood at the closed door and smiled ‘Oh Juri, you’d be happy to see me with a girl, and probably jealous’. Dante laughed to himself and walked down the hallway till he saw Kaien coming down from the stairs “Dante, I was hoping I’d find you, can you do me a favour”. Dante’s smile disappeared “What is it”? Kaien handed Dante a letter “I want you to deliver this to Ichio at the Vampire Senate, it’s a letter on Ichijo’s report on school, as well as Kaname’s report”. Dante looked at it but Kaien hit Dante in the head with a tea towel “Don’t go reading it, I know what you are thinking”. Dante grabbed the towel and pulled it from his hands “Not bothered now, but I’ll deliver this to him now, just don’t tell Kaname that I have his report, he’ll blow me apart and it hurts every time he does it”. Kaien laughed and nodded “Alright, now get going so you can get to class in time”. Dante saluted with his two fingers and ran down the stairs to the door, when he opened it, Yuki stood at the door breathing heavily “Dan… te, where’s… Yori”? Dante pointed to the roof “She’s in class with your books, what did you do, run here”. Yuki punched Dante in the arm “You try running from a mob of angry girls”. Dante grabbed her arm and looked at her “I have, and they caught me and stabbed me with cooking knives, beat that”. Yuki frowned and walked past Dante “I hate you”. Dante smiled and walked out of the room “Oh and have you seen Zero”? Dante looked back at Yuki before the doors closed and shook his head “He’s probably in class”. The doors closed and Dante walked away from them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat in the waiting room for an hour waiting to see Ichio “Mr Cross, Lord Ichio will see you now”. Dante got up and walked into the room, he saw Ichio sitting at his desk “You take forever, those seats are a pain to sit on, it’s too quiet and the other Vampires keep on staring at me, what happens here, a strange porno going on”. Ichio looked at Dante not amused “I know why you’re here, so hand over the reports”. Dante rolled his eyes and took out the letter from his chest pocket “You guys have no sense of humour, Takuma gets it and will be laughing for five minutes”. Ichio took the letter and opened it “We’re adults, we have no time for laughter, and saying rude things like that proves how much intelligence you lack”. Dante shrugged and smiled “Why thank you I’ll take that as a complement, anyway, can I at least see Kaname’s report”. Ichio looked at Dante “Why”? Dante looked at Ichio “Because, I’m his servant and I want to know how he went, if he fails I want to laugh to myself, if he did good, I will congratulate him”. Ichio opened the letter and gave Dante Kaname’s report, as Dante looked at it he laughed as he saw how badly he did, Dante handed back the report Ichio “Are you amused”? Dante smiled and nodded “Yes I am, now I’ll take my leave and head back to the Academy”. Dante went for the door “Before you leave, I want you to give these to Kaname, maybe you’ve seen them before”. Dante turned and saw Ichio holding a wooden box in his hands, Dante took it and opened it to see two vials of blood, Dante knew each one belonged to Haruka and Juri “How did you get these”? Ichio looked at Dante “I’ve had them for years, they told me to give it to one of their family members, which is Kaname, they gave it to me before had died”. Dante closed the box and walked out of the room holding the box ‘What a sicko, keeping this box with the blood of Juri and Haruka’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Tenth Night: Dante entered the Moon Dorm exhausted, he walked up the stairs slowly “What’s wrong with you”? Dante looked up to see Ruka standing at the top of the stairs with her arms crossed “Go and annoy someone else, I’m too old for you”. Ruka rolled her eyes and Dante walked past her and to his room, he past Rima and Seiren “Kaname’s pissed at you”. Dante stopped and looked at them “Thanks, you might want to get some plastic bags so you can pick up my pieces”. Dante walked to Kaname’s study and entered it “Now before you blow me apart again, Ichio wanted you to have this”. Dante put the box on Kaname’s desk and   took a step back, Kaname opened it and looked at the vials “He gave you these”? Dante nodded “He said that Juri and Haruka had given it to him so that they could give it to a member of their family, and the only person I can think of is you”. Kaname smiled and stood up, he walked to Dante and put his hand on his shoulder “They were going to give it to you, you were a member of their family”. Dante looked at Kaname confused, Kaname handed Dante the box and Dante took it “I don’t understand, why me”? Kaname looked at Dante with a small smile “Even though you were a servant, you were part of the Kuran family”. Dante looked at the box then at Kaname “So, you’re not going to blow me apart”? Kaname shook his head “Only when you have annoyed me and I need amusement”. Dante frowned “Now leave, I’m sure you’ll have something else to do, like prepare the music for the dance”. Dante bowed and walked away “Does that mean I get the night off of class”. Kaname shook his head “You still come to class, just work on it whilst in though”. Dante nodded and walked out of the office, as he went out he saw Aido, Ruka, Rima, Senrie, Akatsuki and Takuma standing at the door “You’re in charge of the music, this is going to suck”. Dante walked past Aido, but used the wind to push him against the wall “I have a good taste in music, and if you don’t believe me”. Dante took out his IPOD and threw to Akatsuki “Have a listen, just don’t break it”. Dante walked into his and Kaname’s room and closed the door behind him, he looked at the box and opened it, he looked at the vials and picks up Juri’s “The blood of my old Master, what are you doing in this vial”? Dante sighed and put it back into the box, he put it under the lounge and grabbed his laptop, he opened it and looked at the battery life, it had 10% left, Dante sighed and grabbed his charger and looked for a power point, he couldn’t find one and swore to himself “This place sucks”. Dante walked out of the room and looked along the wall till he found one, he plugged the charger into the power point and sat on the floor, he charged his laptop and opened it, he took out his ear phones and plugged it into the laptop, he opened up his songs list and looked through them and found some formal songs, he copied them into a different file but then added in some other songs so the dance wouldn’t be boring “What are you doing”? Dante looked up and saw Rima and Senrie standing in front of him “That depends on who wants to know”? Senrie took out a box of chocolate sticks and they ate one “Us”. Dante sighed and took out one of his earplugs and looked at them “I’m creating a playlist for the dance, and trust me when I say it, it sucks”. Senrie offered Dante a chocolate stick, he took one and put it into his mouth “That’s lame, for you”. They walked away from Dante, he rolled his eyes and continued doing what he had been doing.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> “Get up”. Dante felt someone kick him, he opened his eyes to see Aido standing in front of him “What do you want”. Dante yawned and closed his laptop “Lord Kaname wants you dressed and ready”. Dante unplugged his charger and closed his laptop and walked to his and Kaname’s room “Anything else”? Aido groaned “He also wants to inform you that you shall be getting your own room as Maria won’t be staying in this dormitory”. Dante felt happy about leaving Kaname’s room and sleeping on the lounge “Great, when do I move in”? Aido muttered under his breath “You move in tomorrow, when Lord Kaname says so”. Dante closed the door and put his laptop on the lounge and took out his uniform and changed into it. When he was done, he packed his laptop in its bag and walked out, Kaname stood on the other side of the door “Why aren’t you wearing your jacket”? Dante looked at the lounge at the jacket “I like think it has too much white, and I like wearing my uniform like this, at least I’m wearing it”. Kaname smiled and walked down the hallway, Dante walked with him “How’s the music going”? Dante tapped his laptop bag “I’ve got a playlist ready, I thought there would be musicians there”? Kaname and Dante walked down the stairs “The Headmaster called for them but they said they might not make it, so you’re the backup”. Dante looked at Kaname “Why are you being nice to me, since I came here, you’ve been trying to kill me”? Kaname looked at the other Night Class students, they left the room leaving so Dante and Kaname stood alone “Because I know you and Zero are able to protect her whilst I am loving her and trying to keep this class together”. Dante looked at Kaname and smiled “Then I will do as you command, Lord Kaname”. Dante bowed respectfully to Kaname “Just save your last bow for Yuki”. Dante nodded and they both walked out of the dorm and joined the others, Dante saw Maria standing away from the others “Dante, I want you to stick with Maria, can you do that”. Dante nodded and walked to Maria, she looked at him “Kaname wants me to stick with you, and make sure you follow the rules”. Maria smiled and grabbed his arm “We’re going to have fun together, I could give you an idea for a new book”. Dante looked at her “Have you read any of my books”? Maria nodded “I read them all and I’m waiting for the new one to come out, is it good”. Dante shrugged “I don’t read them, I never get the chance to, but from what I hear from fans, they love it”. They walked behind the other Night Class students, when the gates opened they weren’t many Day Class students, some held copies of Dante’s books, as Dante walked past them, they went to him “Um… Excuse me, Senpai Cross, could you sigh this for us”? Dante took out a pen and wrote a small line in their books as well as his signature and their names “Thank you Senpai Cross”. Some of them hugged him then ran off “You are quite the ladies’ man”. Dante looked at Maria “Whatever”. Dante looked at Zero and Yuki, Maria went to say something to Yuki but Zero grabbed her and pulled her away from Maria, Maria frowned and skipped away “What was that for Zero”? Zero let go of her and looked at Yuki “I want you to stay away from that transfer student”. Dante grabbed Yuki and walked away “Just need to talk to my little sister for a second”. Yuki tried to get Dante to let go of her arm back Dante stopped and let go of her “What’s wrong with you guys, first Kaname, then Zero now you”. Dante looked at her “Will you just shut up and listen to me”. Yuki stopped and looked at him, Dante sighed and rubbed his eyes “Yuki something is happening in this school, there is an uneasy presence going on here, Kaname’s been trying to find a way to solve it, Zero is being affected by it”. Yuki looked at Dante “And what about you”? Dante looked away to see Maria walking into the building “I’m the one that wasn’t supposed to be here”. Dante saw Kaname through the window “I have to go, just take it easy today, go and study for you exam”. Yuki looked at Dante shocked “Oh no the exams”. She ran away before Dante could say another word.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat in front row with Maria, he had his headphones in and was checking the songs. He stretched for a it then felt a sharp burn in his hand, he pulled his hand back and saw Yagari standing in front of him holding a cigarette in his hand “What the hell was that for”? Yagari flicked the cigarette at Dante “You weren’t paying attention during class”. Dante shrugged “So, do know I haven’t been told to sit through and listen to your classes”. Yagari and Dante looked at each other “Whatever, can’t wait till I kill my first Demon”. Dante looked at him confused “What do you mean ‘kill’”? Yagari leaned against the blackboard “Why, the Hunters Association is now targeting Demons as well as the Level E’s, why is that a bad thing”. Dante stood up and put his hands on his desk “Hunters nor Vampires aren’t allowed to hunt Demons, that job is left for me and that’s it, if your president goes ahead with it, I will go there myself”. Yagari shrugged “I’m just telling you this, besides, I don’t want to kill any Demon, but if I have to, then I will”. There was a knock at the door and it opened, Dante saw Vector enter “My Lord, sorry to interrupt but I found out who sent the signal”. Vector walked to Dante and bowed “Hey, who the hell is he”? Kaname looked at Vector and walked to him “It’s a pleasure to finally meet Dante’s second in command”. Kaname and Vector shook hands “It’s more of a pleasure to meet a Kuran, the last I saw was your mother Juri and father Haruka”. Dante rolled his eyes “Anyway, the signal came from Victoria, she’s using a strong Crystal to send that signal”. Dante sighed and sat down “Vector, I want you to stay here, you shall train Bethany till I send you back”. Vector bowed and looked at the other Night Students “What up Vampires”? Maria laughed at it, Dante smiled “By the way, who’d you leave in charge”? Vector looked away embarrassed “Um… Sophie”? Dante’s smiled faded, Vector hid behind Kaname “You put her in charge, what the hell, you know what she’ll do, she make everything pink and put up unicorns”. Vector peeked his head “She’s the third oldest”. Dante put his head in his hand “She looks like a ten year old and acts like one, that’s why I never put her in charge whilst we were gone”. Kaname laughed and looked at Dante “You should go and check on Yuki, maybe help her study”. Dante nodded and walked to the door “Vector, with me”. Vector tipped his hat and ran after Dante, when they left the room the doors closed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante and Vector walked into Kaien’s house “So this is the house of Kaien Cross, wow”. Dante rolled his eyes and walked through “Hey old man, you in here”? Dante heard a reply and walked into the dining room, he saw Zero and Yuki sitting at the table, Yuki had a book in her hand and was looking at Dante and Vector “You missed the Headmaster, he went to patrol for us”. Dante shrugged “That’s a good thing, anyway I just came to check on Yuki, and see how her studying’s going”. Zero looked at Vector “Who’s he, another Demon”? Vector looked at Zero “The Kiryu boy, I remember you, you had such nice parents, except when they hung me upside down and threatened to cut my”. Dante stopped him there “I don’t think you should continue with that story”. Vector shrugged and looked at Yuki “And this must be Yuki Cross, I’ve heard so much about you from Lord Dante, I’m sorry I didn’t greet you the other day, but I can now”. Vector took Yuki’s hand and kissed it “I love it when a Humans heart beats, unlike ours it never beats, making it harder for something kill our heart”. Yuki looked at Dante “Is Vector, another Demon”. Dante nodded “Vector is my second in command, when I’m gone he takes over, but sometimes he makes decisions behind my back”. Vector smirked, the door opened and Bethany walked in “Mister Vector”. Bethany ran to Vector and hugged him “Hello Bethany, I hope Dante has been kind to you”? Bethany nodded “Lord Dante”? They looked at Yuki and Zero “You’re a Lord”? Vector smiled “Lord Dante is one of the first Demons, a Full Blood, but since he is the last, he’s our leader, just like Kaname Kuran and the other purebloods are in charge of the lower levelled Vampires, but unlike the purebloods, Lord Dante allows us to go on free will, we only follow him because we fear him”. Dante looked out the window “Bethany, Vector shut up for a second”. They fell silent and Dante looked out the window “There’s someone or something out there, go and check it out”. Bethany and Vector walked out of the house “What’s going on”? Dante shrugged “I need to get them out of here, I’m going to get something from the kitchen, you want anything”? Yuki and Zero shook their heads, Dante walked through the house to the kitchen and went to the pantry and opened it, he saw a bag of rice and took it out, he put it into the rice cooker with a couple cups of water, whilst it was cooking he heard the door close twice, Dante turned off the rice cooker and looked at the dining room to see Zero and Yuki gone “Crap”. Dante walked out of the house and saw Yuki running away “What are you planning Shizuka”?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante followed Yuki to the old building, he ran into Vector and told him to get Kaname. Dante watched Yuki go into the old building “So, Zero has sensed Shizuka’s presence inside Maria, has he”. Dante knew Kaname was behind him “Yep, but Yuki has followed him and I want you to get her whilst I’ll stop Zero and Shizuka”. Kaname put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “I’m glad you got me to come, but what do you plan on doing, you can’t kill her”. Dante shook his head “I plan on reasoning with her, besides, Zero’s twin is with her, so he won’t let me try and kill her”. Kaname and Dante ran to the building and went through the door Yuki had gone through “I take it you brought one of your guns”? Dante took out both Pride and Greed “Just in case, besides, I changed the rounds to rubber, it should hurt them but not kill”. Kaname rolled his eyes and Dante went in first “I don’t know this place, when was it built”? Kaname walked ahead of him “It was built when this academy was, it was the Night Classes first dormitory and right now, Maria is staying in here”. Dante and Kaname saw Yuki go into a room “You first, since she’s your girl”. Kaname rolled his eyes and walked towards the door, Dante looked behind them to see if anyone was around, when Kaname went in Dante followed him in, they saw Yuki at the bottom of a staircase next to a door, Kaname walked down to her and grabbed her as she went to go into a room and erased her memory of what was happening “Now it’s your part”. Dante walked into the room and saw Maria and Ichiru, Zero was on the ground with blood on him “Well, well, if it isn’t Dante, I was hoping you would show”. Maria looked at Ichiru, he took out his katana and walked to Dante, Dante took out both Pride and Greed and looked at Ichiru “I came to talk not fight”. Maria smiled and sat next to Zero’s body “Well then talk, to Ichiru’s blade”. Ichiru attacked Dante, he deflected Ichiru’s blade with Pride and kicked him back “I said talk, not fight, you guys don’t listen”. Ichiru got up and slashed at Dante, he dodged the blade but got cut on the arm, Dante cursed under his breath and fired Pride and Greed at him, the rubber bullets shot at him, he dodged them till one hit his arm, her grabbed it and felt no blood “Rubber, what weakling are you”? Dante spun Pride and Greed and put them away “Now can we talk”? Maria giggled and clapped “Alright, what is it you want to talk about”. Dante looked at Maria “What is it you want from Zero”? Maria looked at Zero and ran her hand through his hair “I don’t want him, I want the blood of your Master, Kaname Kuran, and when I have his blood, I can defeat the creature who is an enemy to the Purebloods”. Dante’s eyes widened “You mean him, the other Kuran”? Maria nodded “But until my body has blood in it, I can’t do much”. Dante looked at her “Rido can be killed by another, why not just show yourself to everyone”? Maria looked at him “And let the senate use me like they do to every other Pureblood, no I want to be free and go where I want”. Dante looked at Ichiru “And what about you Ichiru, what will you do, follow her till she dies”. Ichiru gripped his katana “I will make sure she doesn’t die”. Dante looked back at Maria “Whatever, just stay away from Yuki, that is all”. Dante walked to the door “I see it now, you, Kaname and Zero both like that girl, I take it she must be a good little girl”. Dante stopped and looked back at her “There is a reason I’m watching over her, and that is something Kaname and I both know and will take to our graves”. Maria giggled “Well I hope I’ll find out from Kaname’s blood”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Eleventh Night: Dante put the last of his things into his new room, he had been thinking of what had happened last night ‘I can defeat the creature who is an enemy of the Purebloods’. Dante shook the thought out of his head “You okay”? Dante turned around and saw the maid standing at the door holding bed sheets in her hands “Yeah, just something I’m trying to forget”. The maid walked to the bed and started making the bed “You know, you don’t seem different from the others, them being Vampires, whilst you are something else”. Dante looked at her “You know, about the others”? The maid smiled and nodded “Yep, that’s how I got this job as their maid, I found out when I was a young girl, and Headmaster Cross offered me this job, so I took it”. Dante looked out the window at the green trees “What’s your story, you seem to know Master Kaname very well”? Dante shrugged “To follow his orders and to protect someone”. The maid looked at Dante for a second “Well, I hope you have a good time in this room, the others hate this room because of the paranormal activity that happens”. Dante looked at her confused, before he could say anything something hit him in the head and made a loud bang on the floor, he looked down to see a book “Great, I have to sleep with ghosts”. The maid smiled and left him, Dante rubbed his head where the book had hit him, he picked it up and looked at the book, he saw the title ‘Romeo and Juliet’ Dante looked up and saw no one in the room “Fucking ghosts”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante went to Kaname’s study, he entered and saw Kaname sitting at the chair “What is it you want”? Dante closed the door and walked to his desk “What will you do about Maria, we know who she is, so what do we do”? Kaname stood up and walked around “Nothing, what she is planning, we shall wait till it is time to do something, after wiping Yuki’s memory from last night, I want to make sure nothing happens to her”. Kaname grabbed his jacket and walked to the door “I’m going to visit her, I want you to make sure everyone else is ready for tonight”. Dante nodded and watched as Kaname left the study, Dante looked back at the desk at the chessboard, he saw the last white chess piece ‘So this game in nearly finished, next will be you, Rido Kuran’. Dante heard the door open and Vector walked in “Why did you tell me there was a dance on tonight”? Dante sighed and walked past him “Because you’re not a student and aren’t going”. Vector looked disappointed “Oh come on, I promise I’ll be good, please”. Vector grabbed Dante’s leg and begged, Dante got annoyed “Give me one good reason why I should”? Vector got up and tried to act smart “So I can keep Bethany in order and so we can find anything evil”. Dante sigh “If I let you go, will I regret it”? Vector shook his head “Fine, you can go, but you’re being Bethany’s brother”. Vector smiled and saluted “I will go get ready”. Dante watched Vector run away down the hallway “Who was that”? Dante turned and saw Akatsuki walking with Aido coming towards him “An idiot that I sadly have as a second in command”. Aido walked past Dante but Akatsuki stood next to him “What do you know about the Pureblood Vampire Shizuka Hio”? Dante looked at Akatsuki “Why, you want to marry her”? Akatsuki looked at Aido then back at Dante “We think Maria has a connection with her, as well as Zero, and want to know more about her”. Dante sighed and shook his head “That’s something I can’t say, but I will tell you one thing, she is running, and I’m the one that’s helping her do so”. Dante walked down the hallway as Akatsuki and Aido stared at him “Why, why would you betray the Senate”? Dante stopped and didn’t look back “I’m not with the Senate, no Demon serves that Senate, I serve the Kuran family, no one else”. Akatsuki looked at Aido “So why did you let her run”? Dante looked over his shoulder “Because, she gave me a vial of her blood”. Dante walked away down to his room, closing the door behind him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> After Dante had made sure each of the Night Class students were ready for the dance, Dante headed into his room to get ready, he put on his uniform and put on his jacket for the first time, Dante felt hands touch his shoulders “It was you who threw that book, Juri”? Dante looked over his shoulder and saw Juri standing behind him with a smile “I’m sorry about that, but being a spirit isn’t fun, I see you’re getting ready for a dance”. Dante shrugged and went to do his tie when Juri turned him around “Please, let me”. Dante let her tie his tie and took a rose and put it in his chest pocket “Now you are ready”. Dante smiled and looked at Juri “I see that Shizuka is here at the Academy, do you know what she wants”? Dante fixed his cufflinks and looked away “Only that she wants Kaname’s blood so she can defeat your brother”. Juri sat on the bed and put her hands on her lap “I like Shizuka, she was a nice woman but I didn’t see why she had been kept in captivity since she was born, makes me sad when I think of it”. Dante sat next to her and looked at the floor “She came to me a couple of years ago, asking for my help to get away from the Senate, I helped her in exchange for a vial of her blood, I know that she wants Rido dead, as do I and Kaname, for the sake of her”. Juri put her hand on Dante’s cheek “I loved you Dante, even in death I still do, so please do everything in your power to protect Yuki, for me”. Dante pulled down his left sleeve showing the butterfly tattoo “I made that promise with you, and I will not break it until he is dead, and she is safe”. Juri smiled and then vanished, there was a knock at the door and it opened, Dante saw Takuma walk in “Were you talking to yourself”? Dante looked at Takuma “Yeah, to the ghost that lives in here”. Takuma smiled and walked to Dante “Kaname has asked me to come with you to get the music ready, I hope that’s alright”. Dante stood up and grabbed his laptop bag “Not at all, I’ll need some company anyway”. Dante walked out of the room with Takuma. They walked out of the Moon Dorm and towards the school “So, who are you going to enjoy dancing with”? Dante looked at Takuma “Why, you want to give them a rose or something”? Takuma laughed “No, just so I know who not to dance with”. Dante laughed and looked up at the twilight sky “Yori Wakaba”. Takuma looked at Dante surprised “Yuki’s friend, wow you sure know how to pick girls”. Dante and Takuma laughed and walked to the hall “I think there are still some Day Class students in here”. Dante shrugged and opened the doors to see a couple of female students in their formal dresses in the hall “It’s Senpai-Ichijo and Senpai-Cross”. Dante sighed and walked past them, Takuma smiled and walked behind him “I hope you girls are ready for tonight, because I am”. Dante rolled his eyes and walked to a table where he put his laptop bag on, he saw speakers and took out his laptop, he plugged in the speakers and tested it, he played a rock song first and let it play “What song is this”? Dante looked at Takuma “It’s called ‘Promise me’ it’s by a band known as Dead By April”. Takuma stood next to Dante and looked at the playlist he had set up “Wow, how long does this playlist go for”? Dante shrugged “I’m not sure how long this dance goes for so I’m putting it on loop so it doesn’t stop”. Dante heard the doors open and saw the Night Class students enter “Turn this crappy music off, it’s not dance material”. Dante gave a death stare to Aido “Better music then what you listen to”. Kaname looked at Aido “Aido, be thankful Dante is able to be here for the music, if not, then there wouldn’t have been a dance now would there”. Aido fell silent, Takuma went and joined the other students whilst Dante continued to set up the speakers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> The rest of the Day Class students came in large groups, Dante couldn’t see Yuki, nor Yori but he saw both Vector and Bethany “How are you Lord Dante”? Dante looked at what Vector was wearing, it was a black tailcoat with green and red checker on the inside, he wore a black top hat, but had green and red checker pants on “Vector, what the hell are you wearing”? Vector looked at what his was wearing “I like it, makes me stand out”. Dante sighed and shook his head “Bethany, take Vector out of her and get him some real clothes, he looks like a clown”. Bethany tried not to laugh and grabbed Vectors arm “Come on Mad Hatter”. Vector followed Bethany out of the hall, Dante readied his laptop and pressed play and the dance music came on, Dante looked at Kaname and he nodded and Dante walked away from the laptop, Dante saw Yori walk in and she looked at him, Dante walked to her and bowed “May I have this dance”? Yori blushed and smiled “You may”. Dante took her hand and they went to the dance floor, Dante danced with Yori “Wow, you can dance pretty good”. Dante smiled “As are you”. Yori blushed and looked at the door “Yuki’s taking a while”. Dante looked at the door and saw Zero’s back “She’ll be coming, if Kaname’s here, she’ll come”. Yori looked up at Dante, she then put her head on her chest “I’m glad she’s got a brother like you”. Dante smiled “Excuse me, but could I steal Dante for a bit”. Both of them looked to see Victoria, Yori let go of Dante and bowed “You may”. Dante watched as Yori walked away, he looked at Victoria, she wore a white dress that showed some of her breasts “Come on, you know you want to dance with me”. Dante rolled his eyes and danced with her “I know you want my body, that’s why I’m wearing this”. Dante saw her wearing a purple crystal, Dante looked at it, Victoria put her hand on it and then onto her breast “If you want your crystal, you, me in the bathroom”. Dante let go of her and looked at her “You are a sick person, you know”. Victoria laughs and blows a kiss “I know, but I do love you and I will get you when my Master comes back”. She walked past him and put her hand on his arm “I’ll be seeing you later”. Victoria walked away out of the hall, Dante gritted his teeth and looked towards Kaname, Dante walked to him and stood next to him “I take it the Demon girl was here”? Dante nodded “She was, she wanted to have sex with me in order for me to get back my crystal”. Kaname put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “I’m glad you didn’t, I want you to do me a favour, go and have some fun dancing”. Dante sighed “I was just dancing with Yori before Victoria came in, I’ll just go back to my laptop and check the music”. Dante and Kaname turned and saw Yuki standing at the door, she wore a pink dress with her prefect tag on her wrist, Dante looked at Kaname “I’ll leave you two alone”. Dante walked away past Yuki back into the hall.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat by his laptop as the others danced, Dante had been asked by different Day Class students to dance with him, Dante declined and stayed put to his seat “You seem to be having fun”. Dante looked up and saw Zero standing in front of the table “Yeah, you too”. Zero leaned against the table with his arms crossed “Who was the woman in white, she smelt funny”? Dante looked at Zero “That was Victoria, the Renegade Demon”. Zero looked at Dante “That was her, why didn’t you kill her when she was here”? Dante looked at him “Because, I want to know who her Master is and what they are planning”. Dante saw Akatsuki and Aido walk out of the hall, Dante looked at Takuma and saw he was dancing with a large number of girls “Dante, why not dance with us”? Dante rolled his eyes, Dante   then saw a couple of the girls go to him and grabbed him and dragged him into a circle with Takuma, Senrie and Rima, Dante frowned and looked at Takuma “Isn’t this lovely Dante, you dancing with us”. Dante mouth to Takuma ‘I’m going to murder you’. Takuma smiled and continued to dance “Are you single Senpai Cross”? Dante looked at the girl next to him, before he could answer another girl said something “Will you go out with me”? Dante sighed and felt humiliated “I’m not going out with anyone and I’m happy being single for now”. Dante saw Zero run out of the hall in a hurry, Takuma disappeared from the circle ‘Bastard’. Dante looked around to right a way out of the circle “Excuse me ladies but I need to do something”. Dante got out of the circle and went to Kaname, Takuma walked away from the balcony “You bastard”. Takuma smiled and walked back to the circle, Dante went to Kaname and stood at the door “What’s wrong with you”? Kaname looked at Dante “Go after Yuki and protect her”. Dante saw a flashback of Yuki jumping from the balcony “Crap”. Dante jumped from the balcony and ran after an image of Yuki.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Twelfth Night: Dante followed the image back to the old building, Dante saw lights on in the top floor and went inside, he had forgotten Pride and Greed, but he took a small two shot gun, he took it from his pocket and walked up the stairs, he saw Ichiru walk past him holding a woman’s body, Dante knew whose body it was, it was Shizuka Hio’s. Dante followed Ichiru to a room where he heard Shizuka’s voice with Maria’s, Dante hid in the room next door and waited for Ichiru to walk away. When he was gone, Dante snuck out and walked to the room, but saw Zero running towards him, Dante put his finger to his lip and pointed at the door, Zero took out Bloody Rose and barge into the room “Get you filthy hands off her”. Dante rolled his eyes and went into the room “Zero, Dante”? Dante looked at Yuki, she took out the Artemis rod and defended Shizuka “This woman’s blood can save you Zero”? Zero looked at Yuki stunned, Dante sighed and looked at Shizuka “Been a while, what’s it been, three years or four”? Shizuka ignore and looked at Zero “You are tamed by her”? Dante looked at Zero “Zero don’t listen to her”. Shizuka used some of her power and froze Dante to the spot, she made him aim his gun at his head “I hope you know what’ll happen to you, as those bullets affect you’re kind as well”. Dante’s eyes widened and pulled the trigger and the bullet went through his head killing him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante opened his eyes and saw that he was in a living room with no windows “Where am I”? Dante looked at his clothes and saw that he was wearing a black and red coat with an emblem on the shoulder ‘The Kuran Crest, but that means’. Dante heard a door open and saw a little girl standing at the door way “Excuse me, I’m lost and can’t find my mummy”. Dante saw that the little girl was Yuki, Before Dante could talk the room fell dark and cracked, Dante looked at Yuki and saw her getting scared, he ran to her and picked her up and tried to run out the door “I’m scared, I smell your blood”. Dante looked at his hands and saw his blood, he looked at him in the mirror and saw blood pouring from his face “The girl will be mine”. Dante turned around and saw blue and red eyes looking at him “You will not have her”. Dante held Yuki tightly and looked at the floor as it cracked and they fell. Dante kept his hold on Yuki as they fell, when he saw the ground he landed on it and rolled and knelt on the ground, he looked up at the air and saw Rido’s cold eyes looking for them “I want my mummy, I want her so badly”. Dante rubbed Yuki head “I’ll take you to her, but right now you have to be strong”. Dante looked around till he saw a light, Dante looked up at Rido’s eyes and saw that they were looking at them, Dante ran to the light as fast as he could “No matter what, I will get her and devour her blood, and no one will stop me”. Dante saw the light getting closer till he felt something grab his leg, he looked down and saw a blood rope around his leg, it pulled him and held him in the air, he saw Rido’s mouth with a giant smile, he saw his fangs “She’s mine”. Dante used his free leg and kicked through the blood rope and fell towards the mouth but jumped off the teeth and back flipped landing on the floor perfectly, he threw a fireball with his right hand and the ball burnt his face making him howl, Dante turned around and ran to the light “No matter where she is, I will find her”. Dante ran into the bright light without looking back.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> When Dante ran through the light he stood in a ballroom, it was empty with only two chairs in the middle of the room. Dante put Yuki down but she held his hand “I smell mummy, she’s close”. Dante looked around but saw nothing, he couldn’t smell anything “She’s properly around here somewhere”. Dante and Yuki walked towards the chairs, he pressed his foot around the floor but nothing happened “I’m tired”. Dante looked at Yuki “Well sit here for now, and wait for someone”. Dante sat in one of the chairs, Yuki climbed onto his lap and sat on him, she rested her head on his chest and closed his eyes “You and Kaname are a like always protecting me from bad people”. Dante held her and could hear her heart beat fast “I’ll make sure you are safe till we get you back to your mother”. Dante heard the door open and Rido walk in “I knew I would find you”. Dante stood up holding Yuki “Hand her over, and I will make sure you die a quick death”. Dante looked at Yuki, her sad eyes looked at him, he looked back at Yuki and held her tightly “Bite me Rido, you will not touch the Kuran heir when she is under my protection”. Rido laughed and clicked his fingers, Dante looked around the room and saw shadows creatures coming out of the walls, Dante saw fangs and red eyes “Blood, blood for our Master”. Dante looked around and saw they were surrounded by the creatures “Yuki, close your eyes sweetie”. Yuki did as Dante told her and held him tightly, Dante closed his eyes and used the air around them to cut down the shadow creatures, he felt their blood splash onto them, when he opened his eyes Rido was in front of him and plunged him hand into Dante’s stomach “Too slow”. Rido grabbed Yuki and kicked Dante into the wall, he hit the wall and fell to the ground, he looked up hearing Yuki scream “Scream all you want, no one will save you”. Dante felt something digging into his back, he reached for it and felt a handle, he grabbed it and took it out and saw it was Pride, he aimed it at Rido and shot at him. The bullets hit him and he let go of Yuki, she ran to Dante and helped him up “You shot me, you bastard”. Dante looked at Rido and aimed Pride at him “I will hit your heart next time”. Rido smiled and licked his lips “The funny thing is Dante, you’re dead and this is what is happening in your dead mind”. Dante felt a sharp pain in his head “Hurts doesn’t it, but don’t worry I will make sure you die in your own mind”. Rido went to kill Dante when he aimed Pride into Rido’s chest “My mind, my rules”. Dante shot a round into Rido’s heart and kept on firing till he turned to crystals, Dante put Pride away and looked at Yuki “Thank you mister, I will never forget you”. Dante looked at her confused and then a light appeared under him and everything went white.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante woke up and gasped for air, he rolled onto his back and coughed “Dante, you’re alive”. Dante saw Yuki kneeling next to him “My head bloody hurts”. He sat up and looked around to see no one but them “Where’s Shizuka”? Yuki looked at the door “She went away, Zero went after her and Ichiru”. Dante had forgotten about Ichiru, Dante stood up slowly and Yuki helped him up “Oh, it’s you, Prefect Cross and you Dante Cross”. Dante and Yuki saw Akatsuki standing at the door “What are you doing here Akatsuki, shouldn’t you be at the Dance”. Akatsuki rubbed his head “Aido ran in here and I went after him, he’s properly going after Shizuka Hio”. Dante walked to the door and saw blood on the floor “Akatsuki, stay here with Yuki”. Dante followed the blood trail leaving Akatsuki and Yuki alone ‘I smell more blood, but whose”. Dante saw the trail lead to a room “Akatsuki stop”. Dante turned around and saw Akatsuki and Yuki walking towards them “What part of stay in there didn’t you understand”. Akatsuki rolled his eyes “I’m not staying with her”. Akatsuki walked into the room but stopped, Dante and Yuki walked in and saw crystals and Shizuka’s clothes, they looked at the window and saw Kaien standing in front of it “You don’t have to worry about anything”. Yuki looked around for Zero “Where’s Zero”? Kaien took off his glasses and cleaned them “He’s fine, he’s just recovering from his wounds”. Dante looked at the clothes and walked to it, he knelt next to the crystals and picked one up “May you rest in peace, Shizuka Hio”. Dante stood up and held the crystal tightly cutting into his skin “Dante, I think you should see Zero. Bethany and Vector have taken him away to recover, but they won’t know what to do about his condition”. Dante nodded and walked to the window and saw Vector standing by a tree, Dante looked back at Yuki “Head back to your dorm, get some rest, I’ll be back and tell you how Zero’s doing”. Dante jumped from the window down the ground and walked to Vector “How is he”? Vector shook his head “He’s turning to Level E, I don’t know how he’s lasted this long, but maybe you can do something”. Dante took off his jacket and vest and tie, he handed them to Vector and unbuttoned his cufflinks and top button “Where’s Bethany now”? Dante and Vector arrived at the school and head to the basement of the school “She’s with Zero, as well as that Hunter Yagari”. Dante walked into the cell and saw Yagari looking at Zero holding his gun “You took your time, bloody drugs aren’t working”. Dante saw Zero lashing at them, Bethany had been trying to get the right chain around his wrist but was being clawed at, Dante grabbed Zero’s throat and pressed his against the wall as Bethany put the chain on “Thanks”. Dante let go of Zero and looked at Bethany “You two, go around the school and search for Ichiru Kiryu now”. Bethany and Vector bowed and ran out of the cell, Kaien walked in and looked at Zero “He doesn’t look good”. Dante went and stood next to Kaien and Yagari “What should we do”? Dante shrugged “There’s nothing we can really do, let’s hope he’ll keep fighting it till”. There was a loud bang coming from upstairs “What was that”? The three of them ran out of the cell and upstairs, they saw nothing and the door closed behind them “Someone’s in there with Zero”. Yagari tried to pull open the door but it wouldn’t open “Damn it, who’s in there”? Dante grabbed the door and tore it out of its hinges then the smell of blood filled the air “Kaname Kuran’s blood”. Dante dropped the door and barged open the cell door and saw Zero sitting on the ground with blood around his mouth “He will be alright, for now”. Dante turned around and saw Kaname “Why, this isn’t a game Kaname, if this is for Yuki, the only thing you could’ve done is bring him Shizuka’s blood not yours”. Kaname used his power and pushed Dante into the wall “I am doing this for Yuki’s sake, as should you Dante, for he is going to come back”. Dante’s eyes widened “The next game begins”. Dante watched as Kaname vanished leaving Dante in the cell with Zero.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Act 2:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Thirtieth Night: Dante stood with Yuki at the Moon Dorm gate, he wore his Night Class Uniform but was acting as a Discipline Community till Zero was back, but it hadn’t been going well as no of the girls had listened to him but admire him “Hey Dante, when is Zero coming back”? Dante looked at Yuki struggling to push back a crowd of Day Class students “How should I know, the Headmaster told me to beat it and head back to my dorm yesterday”. Dante pushed back some of the students and heard Yuki fall over, Dante sighed and looked back at her but saw Zero standing in front of her ‘Thank god he’s back’. Dante stopped pushing the girls and walked up to Zero “Took your time”. Zero looked at Dante “Thank you for your help, I don’t think I would’ve made it without your experience”. Dante smirked and put his hand on Zero’s shoulder “Don’t mention it, but if I were you, I’d start finding a way to get more of ‘that stuff’ if you know what I mean”. The gates opened and the Night Class students came out “I’d best keep these girls away from you guys”. Dante sighed and looked at Yuki “Hey Devil, catch”. Dante caught something and looked at it, it was a box of chocolate sticks, he looked at Rima and Senrie “Devil, Cross Senpai is a Devil, he’s a handsome one”. Dante frowned and looked at Rima “I hate you two”. Senrie shrugged and they walked away, Dante looked at Kaname “Dante, I want you to have a look at something for me, here”. Kaname gave Dante a box, he opened it slightly and saw something metal “I will, but I think I might need something in return”. Kaname remained silent “I would like to head back to the Demon Council, if that is alright”. Kaname looked at Yuki, at Zero then back at Dante “Alright, I will let you go, but you stay until the Ball is finished”. Kaname walked away “Your leaving”? Dante looked at Yuki “Only for a while, after the incident with Shizuka and Ichiru, I have to go and make sure my Order is aware of what has happened, as well as my encounter with Victoria”. Yuki looked at Dante confused “Whose she, your girlfriend”? Dante shook his head “She’s wishes, she is a Demon who had killed her own Master for her own reasons, but she had taken a new Master someone I haven’t found out yet, but I will be leaving Bethany here just in case”. Yuki hugged Dante “Why do you have to leave, you can leave it to Vector”. Dante saw Vector trying to flirt with some of the Day Class students “They don’t really want him there to tell them the news, he has to come back to take his command, and so I can make sure there are enough Demons to be ready in case something were to happen, but don’t worry, I’m staying a bit longer till I am ready to leave”. Dante saw a girl slap Vector in the face and he looked at her blankly “I’d better go, Vector is going to get himself into so much trouble”. Dante walked to Vector and grabbed him whilst walking away from the girls.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat in the classroom, he lay his head on the table and didn’t move “Tired from staying up during the day”? Dante looked up at Ruka “Shut up, you’re lucky to be Vampires”. Dante put his head back down on the table “Leave him alone Ruka, he has a right too, but what I want is for all of your attention”. Dante heard everyone stand-up “I want you all to protect Zero from the Senate, they are accusing him for a Purebloods death, that Pureblood was Shizuka Hio, so will you do this for me”. Dante looked up and saw the Night Class students bow to Kaname, Dante sat up and rubbed his eyes “Lord Kaname, are you use, he is the one that wants you dead”. Dante yawned and took out the chocolate sticks pack that Rima had given him earlier “Dante, pass two back here”. Dante took out two and threw them to Rima and Senrie “I heard you were leaving, why’s that”? Dante sighed and took out one of the chocolate sticks and bit it “I have my reasons, like how you guys are following Kaname instead of doing whatever you want”. Dante ate the stick then looked at the ceiling “Dante, enlighten us”. Dante looked at Kaname “Um… ok”. Dante leaned back and rested his head on his hands “A horse walks into a bar and the bartender goes ‘Why the long face’”. No one laughed “Really, you guys don’t get it”? They remained silent “Ok, here’s another one”. He stood up and walked to the blackboard and took a piece of chalk “What has one eye and is grumpy”? They looked at him “A Cyclops”? Dante looked at Rima and sighed “No, a Yagari”. Kaname smiled and stood up “Very funny, but I was excepting more”. Kaname’s eye glowed and Dante blow up, the entire Night Class laughed as did Kaname, Dante’s parts came together and formed his body “Ow… that fucking hurts, why did you do that”? Kaname looked at Dante “Because, it was funny”. Dante rolled his eyes and looked out the window, he then smelt Vampires, not one from the Night Class but they were from outside “Kaname, the Senates Dogs”. Kaname looked out the window and knew what he meant “Then we stop them from what they have come here to do, this is my Academy and I don’t want the Senate to be involved with it”. Dante walked out of the room and then ran down the corridor ‘Yuki, please don’t get hurt’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante saw Zero being attacked by a small pack of Vampires, Dante took out Pride and shot the tree near one of the Vampires but then one of them burst into ash “That’s enough”. Dante knew Kaname and the Night Class were behind him, Dante saw Yuki standing next to Zero “Lord Kaname, why are you stopping us from doing our task”. Kaname stepped forward and stood next to Dante “This Academy is under my power, and I don’t want the Senate being involved or coming here at their own free will, and attacking my fellow student”. The Vampire looked at Dante and gritted its teeth “My Lord, as you know, Zero Kiryu is charged with the murder of the Pureblood Shizuka Hio, if you do not allow us to complete our task, you are violating the Senate”. Kaname made one of the Vampires shoulder explode making it yelling in pain “I will deal with the Senate, I want you to tell the Senate that they are no longer welcomed into this Academy”. Dante looked at them both, they turned into a mist and disappeared “You may be laughing Devil inside, but you will be next to die by his hand”. Dante watched the mist disappear and sighed in relief “Thank god their gone”. Dante looked at Zero “You okay”? Zero nodded, Dante saw Kaname walked to Yuki, Dante looked away and walked away “Dante, head back to the dormitory, pack your things ready for your trip, and ready for the ball”. Dante looked back and nodded and followed the rest of the Night Class students “Hey Devil, I want to talk to you privately”. Dante looked at Aido “Sure but it better not be an ambush or else I’m putting bullets into you and those who helped attack me”. Akatsuki looked at Aido “Hanabusa what are you doing”? Aido ignored him and he walked away, Dante sighed and followed Aido “What do you want to talk about, how to get female Vampires or how to get a Demon servant”? Aido closed his eyes and continued to walk “I want to know more about the Kuran family, and about Dorm President Kuran’s parent’s deaths”. Dante stop and looked at Aido “Let me guess, you saw Kaname kill Shizuka, didn’t you”. Aido froze and looked back at Dante “You cheeky bastard, you know eavesdropping is a sin, so looks like I’ll be see you in hell”. Aido turned and pointed at Dante “How the hell do you know, you were even there”. Dante laughed and looked at him “I read your mind dumbass, besides I was in the building at the time but was too late”. Dante looked up at the night sky “I want to know, how Kaname’s parent’s died, how they committed suicide”. Dante sighed and leaned against a tree, crossed his arm and closed his eyes “What if they didn’t commit suicide, what if they were murdered instead”. Aido looked at Dante “Murdered, but who would do that”? Dante took out a cigarette and lit it with his flames “I don’t know, I was there at their deaths but like I said, what if they didn’t commit suicide, think about it, Juri and Haruka were loving people, why would they commit suicide, there are different possible reasons and I know all of them”. Dante stood next to Aido facing the other way “Here’s another question, why do you hate the Senate and all those who work with them”? Dante smiled showing his fangs “Many reasons, they wanted to use my Masters, Takuma’s grandfather wanted me dead, they sent assassin’s after me and they had something to do with Juri and Haruka’s death and because, most of them are assholes, that’s why”. Dante walked away “Wait, you mean that the Senate might’ve had something to do with the death of Kaname’s parents”? Dante looked back and nodded “Yes, they are not to be trusted, that’s why us Demons are around, to protect our Masters and to make sure the Senate don’t try anything funny, but then again your father works for them and nearly everyone else’s father or mother in the Night Class work for the Senate, but if I were you, I recommend you not repeating this to anyone, are we clear”. Aido looked at Dante blankly then nodded “But can I ask one thing, if they were murdered, who would kill them”? Dante felt the cold breeze blow onto his face “You want my opinion, the Senate want to control the Purebloods, so a Pureblood went to Juri and Haruka’s home at night and killed them both, that is who”. Dante walked away leaving Aido alone.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat in his room putting his clothing in boxes, Takuma was helping him “It’s a shame you have to go, but at least you get to come to the ball with us”. Dante looked at Takuma, since his time at Cross Academy, Dante and Takuma had become good friends “Yeah, but I will be back, I still intend to protect my Master”. Dante took out some formal clothes but looked at them “Crap, this has a hole in it, and I don’t have any spares”. Takuma put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “Don’t worry, I have a spare that would fit you”. Dante smiled, there was a knock at the door and Kaname stood there “I see you are putting your stuff into boxes, smart”. Dante looked around the room seeing the boxes “Yeah, I put my guitars in the closet just in case, haven’t played those in a while, might do that when I get back, anyway how can I help you”. Kaname handed Dante a box “I want you to wear this tomorrow night, it is time to do so”. Dante opened the box and saw the Kuran Crest and knew that it was the Kuran Coat that he used to wear when attending balls or going around with Juri “Kaname, you had it the whole time, but I thought it was burnt”. Kaname shook his head “No, I got it just in time and had it redone, but you will wear it, as well as this”. Kaname handed Dante a sword, it was thinner than Lucifer and had a customized handle and on the sheathe was the Kuran Crest “I will, in the honour of you and your family, except for him”. Kaname looked at Dante and walked to the door “Good, and make sure you wear the same things you do every time you wear that coat”. Dante bowed and watched as Kaname left the room “Well, looks like I won’t be needing suit after all”. Dante walked to one of the boxes and opened it, he took out a red shirt and a black t-shirt, then a pair of black pants, he threw them onto a chair and put the box and sword on the table “You seem happy about those things”? Dante looked at Takuma with a smile “It’s just that’s it’s been so long since I last wore these, and tomorrow night I want to honour the family I serve”. Takuma smiled and put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “You are a good friend to Kaname, and to Yuki, as well as me”. Dante put his hand on Takuma’s shoulder “You should get some sleep, tomorrow’s going to be a pain in the ass”. Takuma smiled and left the room, Dante looked around at his room and sighed, he closed the door and lay down on his bed and fell asleep.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante woke up all over a sudden, he sat up and looked around, and he put his hand on his forehead “Bloody hell my head hurts”. Dante got out of his bed and walked out of his room still holding his forehead, he walked down the stairs and walked to the kitchen, he saw the maid standing at the sink washing her hands, she turned and looked at him and saw him “Mr Cross, I thought you were asleep”? Dante walked in and grabbed a glass and filled it with water “I was, but my heads been killing me and I needed some water, what about you”. The maid dried her hands and walked to a pot that was on the stove and stirred it “I was just making some food for tonight, I’m heading to a party with some friends since you are all going to the Ball tonight”. Dante shrugged and washed his glass and dried it “Have fun there, oh and by the way, just call me Dante, calling me Mr Cross makes me feel old”. The maid bowed “Alright, Dante”. Dante walked out of the kitchen and walked back upstairs and went to his room but saw Juri standing next to the Kuran coat and sword “It’s been a while since I last saw you wearing these”. Dante closed the door and walked to her “I take it you are coming in spirit”? Juri shrugged “You have the vial with my blood, if you take that with you, I’ll be able to go, but only you will be able to see me”. Dante stood next to her and they looked at each other “Why would you want to go, your daughter wouldn’t be there and it’ll just be Kaname”. Juri put her hands on his cheeks and smiled “I want to see you honouring our family”. Dante looked at her confused “Our”? Juri smiled and closed her eyes “You are part of the family, and you are truly representing our family”. Dante put his hand on her cheek “Then I will, for you, Haruka and Yuki, fuck Kaname, he’s too old”. Juri giggled and started to fade “I’ll see you at the Ball”. Dante watched as Juri faded, he sighed and walked to his bed and lay down on it, he looked over to his bedside table and saw the box Kaname had given him, he grabbed it and opened it “Best get started”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Fourteenth Night: Dante felt someone in his room, he reached under his pillow and grabbed Pride, he put it out and aimed it at Bethany “Don’t shot, it’s me”. Dante looked at her “How the hell did you get in here, and what time is it”. Dante took out a watch and looked at it, it was 5:47pm “Mr Kuran asked me to come and wake you up, sorry”. Dante put Pride on his bed and got out, he pushed Bethany out of the room “Thanks for the wake up, but next time at least don’t sneak in, or else I would’ve shot you”. Dante closed the door and rubbed his eyes ‘The balls on in two hours, shit’. Dante walked to his clothes and grabbed them, he switched into them but left his sword and coat off. He walked out of his room and went down stairs into the kitchen, he entered and couldn’t see the maid ‘Must’ve left for her party’. Dante shrugged, he grabbed a glass and filled it up with water and drunk it, when he was done he wash and dried it and put it away. He walked back to his room and looked at the coat and sword ‘Honour the Kuran family, for Yuki’. Dante grabbed the coat and put it on, he put the sword through his belt loops and grabbed a pair of black gloves, he heard voice’s coming from outside and opened the door and saw Kaname and Takuma “Dante, I take it you’re ready”? He stepped out of his room and Takuma looked at what he was wearing “Wow, that looks cool, but is the sword appropriate”. Dante looked at the sword then at Kaname “It’s alright, it’s part of the Kuran servant, as well as this”. Kaname handed Dante a small black and red mask, it looked similar it Ichiru’s mask but colours were different, Dante took it and put it on “Now you are ready to serve my family’s name”. Dante bowed and followed them down the stairs to the door and they walked out “Um… Kaname, what will everyone else say about him being there, most of them hate him because they think he had something to do with your parent’s death”. Dante felt the coat’s pocket and felt a vial in it, he knew it was the vial with Juri’s blood in it “They will deal with it, Dante is my servant and he had nothing to do with their death, besides I more concerned with your grandfather, I hope he will be ready to hear what I have to say”. Takuma nodded and they continued to walk towards the gate, when it opened they saw some Day Class students cheering for them “Dante, would you please”. Dante nodded and walked in front of them both and looked at the crowd of girls “If you don’t go back to your dorms, the Night Class with never come out again and you’ll all have to listen to Headmaster Cross explain why we aren’t coming out”. All the girls looked at him and they all ran away to their dorms “Thank you Dante, now come on, we’ll be late”. Dante followed them to the front of the gate and saw a car pull up “Dante I want you to go with the others, I’ll take a while, I will be seeing you there”. Dante bowed and watched as they entered the car, he saw a glimpse of Ichijo and watched as the car drove off, he sighed and turned around and saw Ruka, Akatsuki and Aido walking down the stairs, they saw him and Ruka looked at his sword “Typical Demon, taking a weapon to a Vampire ball, Kaname should’ve taken it from you”. Dante crossed his arms and smiled “That’s the thing, Kaname ordered me to wear these as I am representing his family, as the Kuran Demon”. Ruka felt embarrassed and looked away, Aido looked at Dante “I hope you keep that sword in its case, I don’t want to listen to my father complain about it”. Dante shrugged “I’ll try to, but just hope that someone doesn’t want to use it against another, or that’ll suck anyway”. Aido looked away “Anyway, let’s hope the next car arrives or else you guys will be late”. They looked at Dante “I thought you were coming”? Dante looked at Akatsuki and smiled “I’m a Demon, I can just vanish and appear there”. A car pulled up and the door opened “That’s yours, I shall be seeing you three there”. They got into the car and Dante watched it drive off “I hate Vampire Balls”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood at the gate of an abandoned house, Dante saw a car coming closer and headed towards the door, one of the cars drove past him and stopped ahead of him, Akatsuki and Aido got out and walked to the door but stopped, another car pulled up and Kaname got out “What’s Yuki Cross lying here for”. Dante froze for a moment and saw a leg, he got closer and then saw Yuki laying on the ground “Dante, can you carry her in and take her to the room”. Dante knelt down and pick up Yuki, Takuma opened the door for Dante and he walked in, Dante could smell a strong scent of Vampires ‘Why is Yuki here, why can’t you just stay at the Academy like a normal girl’. Dante turned around the corner and walked down the corridor “K…Kaname”. Dante looked at Yuki, he sighed and walked to another door and Kaname opened it for him, he walked a lounge and lay her down on it “She looks so peaceful when she’s asleep, and she looks like her”. Kaname smiled and brushed some her hair away from her eyes “She does, I want you to stand guard, and I’ll stay in here till she wakes up”. Dante bowed and walked to the door, he stepped out and closed the door, Akatsuki and Aido looked at him “Why is she here, is she trying to get herself killed”? Dante looked at Aido and he freaked out “Shut up Aido and go to your stupid Ball”. Aido ran down the corridor, Akatsuki sighed and walked after Aido, Dante leaned against the wall and looked at the wall in front of him to see Juri wearing a black dress “Why would Yuki be here, I thought she didn’t know about this place”? Dante scratched his head “Kaname and I talked about the Ball but not where it is, she either might have been taken here or she got lost, with I doubt”. Dante saw Takuma walk towards him “Dante, is Kaname in there”? Dante nodded and Takuma opened the door “Uh, Yuki, glad to see you that you’re awake”. Dante looked at Juri and she nodded, he took off the mask and walked around the doorway and looked at Yuki “Dante, you’re here too”? Dante nodded “Dante is doing his job as the Kuran Servant, by wearing that coat which has the Kuran crest as well as wielding the Kuran sword”. Dante closed the door and walked to Yuki “What were you doing out here by the way, you had me worried and Kaname”. Yuki looked down then looked at Dante “I was helping a little boy find his parents, but when he thanked me I passed out”. Dante and Takuma looked at each other “It’s most likely one of the guest’s children, as Vampire children have a thing where they can suck the energy from another being, I think that happened to you one year Dante”. Dante frowned “That girl was being polite, she wanted to dance with me so I did, I don’t even want to know how you remember that”. Takuma smiled and looked at Kaname “We’d best be attending the party, the others are waiting for you”. Kaname nodded and stood up “Then we shall go, Yuki, I want you to stay in this room, under no circumstances are you to leave this room”. Yuki nodded and the three of them left the room.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante, Takuma and Kaname walked down the stairs and everyone bowed to Kaname, Takuma leaned to Dante “How many times have you seen Vampires bow to a Pureblood”? Dante held up four of his fingers “That all”. Dante nodded and looked around and saw Yagari and Zero ‘Oh shit, I forgot about the Hunters sending some of their dogs, but why are they here’. Dante saw Aido and two others come forward, Dante saw that it was Aido’s father and sister, he looked up at balcony and saw Yuki put her head down ‘Caught red handed’. Dante smiled and looked back at Aido’s father “Lord Kaname I would like to introduce my daughter, and would like you to have her hand in marriage”. Dante’s eyes widened as well as Aido “Wait Lord Kaname, this isn’t what I want sorry Lord Kaname”. Dante saw more people bringing their daughters to Kaname to meet, Dante saw Yuki walked away, Dante snuck away and walked up the stairs “Dante, where are you going”? Dante looked back at Takuma “I’m checking on someone, I’ll be back”. Before Dante turned away he saw a glimpse of Victoria, she stopped and saw him and smiled “Cancel that, there’s someone else”. Dante walked past Takuma and through the crowd and looked at Victoria “Oh this is the second Ball we’ve been together”. Dante wanted to pull out the sword and stab her but didn’t move “Why are you here”? Victoria went close to Dante and moved her fingers up like she was making them walk up his chest “Oh, you should’ve guest by now, Vampires are here”. Dante looked at her “So, your Master is here then”. She put her hand on his cheek “Oh, you really can solve things, that’s what I like about you Dante, but you won’t show me anymore love”. Dante looked away but Victoria made him face her and took off his mask “Victoria, is this really the time to be playing with him”. Dante looked to his right and saw a young boy “We will need him you know”? Dante’s eyes widened and say that the boy had two different coloured eyes, one was pale blue, whilst the other was red “Hello again Dante, it’s been a while, like ten years”. Dante grabbed the hilt of his sword but Victoria put a knife to his neck “So this is your Master, this foul creature, Rido Kuran”. The boy smiled “Yes, it is I, but not in my real body, which is a bother, but luckier my body is nearly resurrected”. Dante gritted his teeth, the boy walked up to him and looked up at Dante “You know what I need to complete my resurrection, the blood of the Kuran, Juri’s little brat of a daughter”. The boy looked at Dante’s coat “I must say, I’ve only seen you wear this once or twice, and I’m amazed that it still fits you, maybe after I am back in control, I might give this to you Victoria my little pet”. Victoria smiled and then looked at Dante “Anyway, I think it’s time to give him that crystal, should we”. Victoria looked at the boy “Do I have to, I like it around my neck”. The boy looked at her “My dear, I have another one for you, the same one only from another Demon, one of your kind, I think it was an Alexander”. Dante’s eye widened “You bastard”. Alexander was a Full blood Demon like Dante that had disappeared thirty years ago and presumed dead, now Dante knows what had happened to him “He was crying out your name, then wanted to give you a message, his last words were ‘Live on Dante, send our kind into Hell with you when our Masters are done’ then my dear finished him off”. Dante looked towards Kaname and saw that he walked up the stairs “Anyway, Victoria hand him the crystal, I’m heading off, I want you Victoria to head back and make sure my body is doing fine”. Victoria put the knife away and bowed “Yes my lord”. She took off the necklace off and handed it to Dante, he took it and looked at the violet crystal “Take care my love, for you and I are still bonded by our love”. Victoria walked away and Dante watched her “There she goes again, you let her get away”. Dante turned around and saw Zero leaning on one of the pillars “What did she mean when she called you ‘love’”? Dante looked at the crystal then sighed “Before she went rogue, Victoria and I were lovers, we loved each other so much that we were nearly wedded, but then she started to change, she told me that she wanted us to leave the Order so we could start a family, I told her that we couldn’t as we have our Masters to take care of”. Dante gripped the crystal “But then one night, she killed her own Master and disappeared, then on the night Kaname’s parents were killed, she reappeared and stopped me from defending my Mistress and her husband, but she retreated and then she took my crystal and then disappeared for ten years, she still loves me, but my love is gone for her or anyone else”. Zero looked away “What about Yuki, do you love her”? Dante sighed and put the necklace around his neck “I love that girl for different reasons, but I only love her like a sibling, nothing more, nothing less, she is like my only family”. Zero walked to Dante and put his hand on his shoulder “I wish I could understand you more, I hope the things I’ve said about you don’t stop us from becoming friends”. Dante smiled and put his hand on Zero’s shoulder “Zero, I didn’t give a shit about those things, I was your friend since I first met you”. Zero saw something and looked shocked “Ich…Ichiru”? Dante turned and saw nothing but heard a bell “Go, see what it is”. Zero nodded and walked away, Dante looked at the party and sighed “This is going to be a shitty night”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat at a table holding a glass of fake blood in it, he was swirling it around and looking at it “Ah, there you are Dante”. Dante looked up and saw Takuma, he took a seat and looked at Dante “Are you enjoying yourself”? Dante shook his head “It’s boring, nothing interesting is happening, and plus what the hell am I supposed to do for the next hour, sit around and fall asleep”. Takuma sighed and grabbed a glass of champagne “I know you are someone who hates these things, but the only thing you can do is sit and wait till it’s over, besides some of the guests are leaving so you might have more room to breathe”. Dante laughed and took a sip from his glass, he shook his head in disgust and put it down “How do you guys drink this stuff, Vampire blood taste better than Human to us”. Dante looked around and saw a Vampire girl looking at him “Looks like you have someone checking you out”. Dante sighed and gave Takuma the finger “Check this”. Takuma smiled and saw Kaname walk up the stairs “Dante, Takuma, I’m going to check on Yuki, I want you two to go and get a car ready to take her back to the Academy”. Dante and Takuma nodded and watched as he continued to walk up the stairs “Does that mean now”? Dante shook his head and ordered a glass of champagne “Nar, we’ll get it ready in a bit, maybe in half an hour or something”. Dante took a sip of the champagne and smiled “Finally, a good drink”. Takuma smiled and they looked at the remaining Vampires “So, anyone of these girls you fancy”. Takuma looked away embarrassed “I don’t really like any of them here, I haven’t found the right girl yet”. Dante patted Takuma on the back “Don’t worry, you’ll find that girl, just a heads up, if she wants to get married or something big, try and delay it for a while so you can get prepared”. Takuma smiled “Thanks for the heads up, but what about you, I see that you fancy Yuki’s friend”. Dante took another sip “Meh, I’m just being nice to her”. Ruka, Aido and Akatsuki took a seat at their table “This is so boring”. Dante looked at them “Join the club, we have to listen to everyone’s bloody conversation about how Kaname is here and stuff”. Ruka looked at him “Why don’t you respect him, he is your Master after all”. Dante took another sip drinking the rest of the champagne “What if he isn’t, what if I have another one”? The three of them looked at him “But I thought you were a Kuran servant”? Dante laughed and put his hand to his forehead “You three are so gullible, Kaname is my Master but I don’t show respect because he asked me not to, sure I’ll bow to him but only to make him believe me”. Dante looked up at the balcony and saw the boy that had Rido’s eyes looking at him with a smile “Hey Dante, are you okay”? He watched the boy walk away and gritted his teeth “Yeah, I’m going to get the car ready, Takuma you can stay here and keep these guys occupied”. Takuma nodded and Dante walked to the door but Yagari grabbed his arm “Hey Devil, did you see where Zero went off to”. Dante looked at him “He said he saw Ichiru so he went to look for him but I haven’t seen him since as I have been stuck with Vampires”. Yagari let go of his arm “I have a bad feeling about this, like the Hunters Association had purposely sent Zero here, at least I was able to sneak in”. Dante smiled “You cheeky bastard, you’re lucky you know that”. Yagari groaned “Whatever, I’ll probably run into him”. Dante shrugged and walked out of the room and closed the door behind him and made his way through the corridor”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood outside minding the car “So, Mister Kuran is bring out some girl that I’ll be taking to the Academy”. Dante looked at the driver “Yeah, now will you just shut up and get ready”. The driver sighed and straightened up. Dante heard the doors open and Yuki stepped out with Kaname, she saw him and groaned “Dante I want you to go with Yuki and make sure she gets home safely”. Dante nodded and opened the door “Sure thing, come on Yuki let’s get going”. Yuki looked at Kaname then went into the car, Dante got in and closed the door “Go”. The driver drove the car out of the gate and into the main street “You saw me, didn’t you”? Dante looked at her “Yep, not very sneaky anymore are you”? Yuki punched his arm “I am sneaky, you just knew I’d be there”. Dante looked out the window “You really do love him, don’t you Yuki”? Yuki looked at him then at her hands “Yes, ever since he saved me, I had fallen in love with him”. Dante sighed and put his hand on her head “You forgot about me, I helped save you, but from your scent something else is bothering you”. Yuki looked at Dante “Nothing is, but then”. Dante put his hand on her head “Yuki, did Kaname ask you to become one of the creatures of the night”. Yuki looked at Dante “Yes but how did you know”? Dante looked out the window “Kaname can’t turn you into a Vampire for some reasons, and one of them is to protect you”. Dante saw the lights and made them go out and made the car stop “Hey what the hell just happened”? Dante looked at Yuki and his eyes changed to violet “Another is because I don’t want you to suffer by watching the ones you love age and die in front of you”. Yuki looked at Dante and hugged him “I understand, but what if it was my choice”. Dante made the lights and car turn back on “Then that is something I can’t do anything with”. Dante hated Kaname for making her have that choice, but Dante wanted the his Mistress back, the Yuki Kuran that he used to play around with, he saw the Academy and the car pulled over, he saw Yori and Kaien standing at the bottom of the stairs, Dante opened the door and got out with Yuki “Yuki, thank gosh you’re alright”. Dante closed the door and the car drove off “I’m alright, I was glad Kaname, Zero and Dante were there at least to look after me”. Dante rolled his eyes and walked past them “Hey Dante, where are you going”? Dante looked back at Kaien “I’m heading to bed, I’ve had to listen to everyone at that stupid place and I smell of whore”. Dante realised what he said and looked away “When I say that, I mean by Victoria, that crazy chick”. Kaien sighed and shook his head “Just go, leave us alone here”. Dante shrugged and was about to walk away “It’s snowing”. Dante looked up and saw snowflakes fall from the sky “White snow, like the snow from ten years ago”. Dante looked at Yuki and remembered that night ten years ago, he saw Juri standing across the road with a smile “She’s beautiful Dante, she really is”. Dante smiled and walked up the stairs, and thought of the when he can read that line from Yuki’s favourite book when she was a younger ‘The sun may set and be so beautiful, but when the moon rises, it’s such a glorious sight, as bright as the sun, yet as harmful as it, and its light shall lead a path for those who seek it’. Dante looked back at Yuki and smiled then turned and continued to walk up the stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Fifteenth Night: Dante finished packing his things and looked at his room one last time, he closed the door and walked out to the stairs, he saw Kaname, Takuma, Akatsuki, Senrie, Rima and Ruka standing at the door “Great, a good-bye crowd”. Dante walked down the stairs and looked at Kaname “I will miss you old friend, when you come back I might have some work for you”. Dante shook Kaname’s hand “But I was amazed to see you get your crystal back, I take it that other Demon gave it back”? Dante nodded “Yeah, but I’ll tell you what had happened when I get back”. Kaname nodded and Dante walked to the door, Dante stopped and turned around “Where’s Aido, isn’t he going to watch me leave”. Akatsuki shook his head “Nar, he said he didn’t want to see you go as you aren’t worth it”. Dante smiled and shrugged “Oh well, he’ll just have to deal with that little gift I left him”. Akatsuki and Ruka looked at each other and heard a lot bang and Aido walked out covered in red paint, Dante laughed at him “Dude, that colour really does suit you, just be lucky I didn’t put anything else in it”. Aido wiped the paint off from his eyes and flicked it onto the floor “Thanks, now I’ll have to be taking a longer bath just to get rid of it”. Dante shrugged and looked at Rima and Senrie “Here, thought you might get hungry on the train”. She threw him a box of chocolate sticks, Dante caught it “Thanks, anyways, take care all whilst I’m gone, and when I return I’ll bring you some souvenirs”. Dante walked out of the door and headed to the gate. When it opened Dante saw Day Class students being held back by Yuki and Zero “Cross Senpai, don’t leave, take me with you”. Dante sighed and walked through the gap given “Yuki, Zero I would like you two to come with me, as I have something to tell you”. They nodded and followed him as the Day Class girls whined as they walked away “I need you two to do something for me, I want you to go the old dormitory and head to the basement, in there is a loose floor panel, I want you to get the box in it and have it put in my room for when I get back, think you can do that”. Dante looked back at them, Yuki saluted “You can count on me Dante, as me and Zero will be here for the break”. Dante looked at Yuki “Break, what break”? Zero sighed and looked at Dante “When all the students go back to their families and stay there till school is back on”. Dante had never been told about this, he looked away “Shit, I was never told of this, oh well, I’ll be back when ever, but till then I want you two of you to take care of yourselves”. They nodded and Dante continued to walk “But just remember Bethany is here, so if you need help just go to her”. Dante saw Vector running towards him, he stopped in front of Dante and was breathing heavily “I’m… ready… to… go”. Vector straighten up and they walked towards the entrance, Dante saw Yori walk out and they stopped “Oh, you’re leaving earlier than the rest of us”? Dante walked to her and looked at her “Yeah, I have something to do away from here, oh I wanted to give you this at the Dance but never got a chance to do so”. Dante handed her a golden necklace with a green gem in the middle of the pendent “Thank you”. Dante smiled and walked past her “Take care Yori, and have yourself a nice break”. Dante and Vector made it to the entrance and walked down the stairs as a car pulled up “Mr Cross, I’m here to take you to the station”. Dante grunted and Vector opened the door for him, he got in and then Vector followed him in, the car drove off and Dante took one last glimpse at Cross Academy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante lay down on the seat in the train, Vector sat there and looked out the window “So, what are we going to tell the others”? Dante looked at Vector “We’ll just tell them of Victoria’s presence and that is all, and I also want to see how the Order s doing “. Dante saw three men enter their carriage and take a seat behind Vector “Yeah, that girl, man she had a nice arse that I could’ve banged”. Dante looked at Vector and he nodded ‘These three are Vampires for sure, be careful with them’. Vector reached into his coat and showed Dante a silver dagger ‘Yes my lord’. Dante yawned and one of the men looked at them “Hey guys, look at this, dinner”. The other two looked at them and smiled showing their fangs “I recommend you don’t bother, we just want a peaceful trip nothing else”. The carriage door opened again and Dante looked “Boys, is that anyway to treat my lover and comrade”. Dante and Vector got up and saw Victoria “Hello Vector, it’s been a while”. Vector took out his dagger and readied it “You can go to Hell you bitch”. Victoria smiled and looked at the three Vampires “Kill this one, I’ll take the stronger one”. The three Vampires jumped at Vector knocking him into the wall, Dante went to help him when Victoria grabbed his arm and kicked him in the gut and then in the chin “I wish you had joined is Dante, we could’ve had a good life and have some children but no, you always chose you Master over me”. Dante took out a knife and slashed at Victoria, she dodged them and kicked Dante’s arm, he heard it crack and she grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up “Once I devour your blood I will become the strongest Demon instead, and I will take over the Order”. Dante kicked her in the gut then punched her in the face, she flipped back and took out a dagger “Time to die Dante”. She charged at him but Dante saw blue hair stand in front of him and heard the blade go into it “VECTOR”. Dante caught Vector as he fell back, he held him in his arms and looked at him “I failed my lord, I only wanted to be like you and be ready to take over when the time was right”. Dante looked at the dagger and pulled it out “Vector, stay awake, do you hear me, you r are going to make it”. Vector reached for his crystal and pulled it from his neck “My time is done, I never thought of you as a Lord or anything, you were my best friend Dante, and I want you to live on, for this order and for that girl Yuki”. He handed Dante his crystal and smiled, Dante watched as he was set on fire and his body disappeared, Dante looked at his crystal and watched it turn black and break, he gripped it and stood up, he looked at where Victoria stood but saw that she was gone, Dante reached for the rope and the train stopped, he grabbed his bag and jumped off the train and ran down the track back towards the station which he had left from.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat at an empty station, he drew a Solomon seal on the ground and a young girl appeared “My Lord, we are awaiting for your arrival”. Dante looked at her “Vector is dead and I’m not coming back”. The girl looked at him “Vector, is dead, but how”? Dante looked away “Victoria attacked us whilst we were on the train, she was going to kill me but Vector sacrificed himself to save me, I want you to inform the others”. The girl nodded “And one more thing, you are now second in command, I want you to do your best”. The girl bowed “I will make you proud, my Lord”. She vanished and Dante looked down the track ‘I have to get back now, but this might take a day, maybe a couple of hours’. Dante grabbed his bag and ran along the tracks ‘Ok, here’s what I’ve gotten so far, Victoria is working for Rido, who wants the blood of Yuki, so far Rido’s body is still in its resurrection state, but the only way to defeat him is when his body is completely awake, which is something I don’t know about’. Dante thought hard about the average time it took a Pureblood to resurrect, he had only encountered three Purebloods who had done this, Dante then stopped and looked at the ground ‘Ten years, he’s nearly done, oh shit’. Dante knew it was a long way left to go, Dante looked at his crystal ‘I knew I should’ve brought Lucifer’. Dante closed his eyes and slowly turned into a mist and vanished.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante arrived at the entrance of Cross Academy, he breathed heavily ‘Never going to use that again’. He looked up and walked in, he saw that it was empty till he saw Kaname and Aido “Kaname”. He turned and looked at Dante “Dante, I thought you had left and wouldn’t be back for a while”. Dante walked up to him “Vector’s dead, Victoria attacked us and killed him, but I know who she is working for and what is going to happen”. Kaname looked at Aido “Leave us”. He bowed and walked away “He’s working with that monster, and I think he’s planning to come back and finish off what he started 10 years ago”. Kaname looked away “I felt his presence whilst at the Aido Estate, he really should’ve stayed asleep”. Dante looked and saw Yuki walking with Bethany, the show Dante and ran to him “Dante why are you back so early”? Dante looked at Bethany “Vector is dead”. Bethany looked at him and tears came from her eyes “No, it can’t be, I didn’t feel his death or anything”. She fell to the ground crying, Dante looked at her “Victoria killed him, all because of her Master, I was her target, she just didn’t know he was there, now we’ve lost him”. Dante knelt next to Bethany and held her “But we have to be strong for him, I know you two were close as he was the first to find you, if you want, go into your dorm and moan for him”. Bethany nodded and wiped some of the tears from her eyes “Yuki go with her, make sure she’s alright”. Yuki nodded and took Bethany away, Dante looked at Kaname “Rido is behind everything, he sent Victoria to assassinate me, he’s now trying to get Yuki, the one person we promised Juri we could protect”. Kaname looked at some flowers and made them die “We will make sure he doesn’t touch her, even though the two of us cannot kill him”. Dante swore “If none of us can kill him, how else do you plan on finishing him off, throwing shit at him”. Kaname shook his head and smiled “Zero is the one, the knight is my game, and he will finish that monster off”. Dante looked at him “Out of all people, he’ll try and kill you too”. Kaname walked towards an archway “Then I expect you to get in the way of Bloody Rose, then again he won’t kill me if Yuki doesn’t want him to”. Dante shrugged and put his hands in his pocket and felt a small box, he took it out and saw it was a packed of cigarettes and took one out and lit it “Alright, but if you die, and so does Yuki, the Kuran bloodline will break and I will have to disappear from this role and I may end up going into that crypt where the rest of my kind are”. Dante puffed out smoke and then walked away “Whatever, but just so you know, I’m Yuki’s blade, you and Zero are her shield and will block those who threaten her away whilst I cut them down”. Kaname smiled “True, but all we can do now is wait for the final move, that’s when I shall call checkmate”. Dante and Kaname walked away from each other. Dante walked to a bench and lay down on it, he felt drowsy after using the mist spell and then he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> “Dante, wake up”. Dante woke up and saw a young Yuki smiling down at him “Hey Yuki, what’s up”? Dante sat up and Yuki jumped onto his bed and hugged him “It’s mummy’s birthday today, I want you to come with me to wish her a happy birthday”. Dante yawned and rubbed his eyes “Alright, but a quick one, I was having the strangest dream and want to finish it”. Yuki jumped off his bed and Dante got out, he walked through the hallway barefoot with Yuki holding his hand “Mummy will be happy, won’t she”. Dante smiled and looked at her “She sure will, but as for you, when it’s your birthday, I hope you can wait till your birthday, that’s when I’ll surprise you”. Yuki laughed and hugged Dante “I love you Dante, you are so kind to me, just like Kaname”. Dante picked her up and walked towards a closed door, Dante froze and turned around and saw the lights had disappeared “Yuki, you go ahead, I’m just going to check something”. He put Yuki down and walked toward the dark part of the corridor, he saw the door that lead upstairs to the surface of the house was open, he smelt blood and walked up the stairs, he readied himself for anything, he walked into the living room and saw a younger Kaname standing by the window “Jesus Kaname, you had me on full alert, what the hell are you doing here”. Kaname looked at Dante “I came to see Juri and wish her a happy birthday, but for worrying you, I’m sorry about that”. Dante sighed and scratched his head “You don’t have to apologies for that, just next time call or at least contact one of us to tell us you were coming, come on I’ll take you to them”. Kaname followed Dante downstairs where they were greeted by Haruka, Juri and Yuki “Kaname”. Yuki ran to Kaname and hugged him “Hello Yuki, I take it you have been well”. Dante yawned and looked at Juri “Happy Birthday”. Juri walked up to Dante and gave him a kiss on the cheek “You always remembered, you clever devil”. Dante smiled and put his hands into his track pants pockets “I’m meant to remember, but right now I’m needing my sleep as last I had to stay up with this little one and read three different stories just to get her to sleep”. Yuki looked at Dante with an innocent smile “I like it when you read bed time stories to me”. Dante put his hand to his eyes “I can’t wait to see you in your teenage years, I will bring that up and can’t wait to see the expression on your face”. Juri and Haruka giggled andante turned and walked back to his room “Now I’m going to get some sleep otherwise I will be angry for a while”. Dante went into his room and closed the door behind him, he lay down on his bed and fell asleep”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante felt someone poking his arm “Um… Dante, are you alright”? Dante opened his eyes and saw Yori looked down at him “Yeah, just taking a nap”. Dante sat up and rubbed his eyes “You looked like you had a good dream”. Dante rubbed his eyes ‘One strange dream’. Dante looked around and saw the sun had been setting “How long have I been out”? Yori shrugged “We just got back from break, so maybe a while”. Dante froze ‘Have I been asleep for that long, the spell must’ve really drained all of my energy’. Dante sat up and yawned “Must have been a couple of hours before you arrived, so how was your break”. Yori shrugged “It was alright, I mostly stayed at home and read books, what about you, how was your trip”. Dante remembered Vector “The trip ended up me seeing a friend die, so I had to attend a funeral instead of having a good trip”. Yori sat next to him and looked at him “I’m sorry for your loss”. Dante shrugged “I’ve finished moaning over him, he was my closest friend, but was also a bit of a pain”. Dante looked up at the sky “At least he’ll be in Heaven”. Dante sighed “I wish there was such a place, anyway, I should be heading back to the Moon Dorm, Kaname is probably wondering where I”. Dante stopped and smelt a stronger scent “What’s wrong”? Dante knew whose scent it belonged to, Rido Kuran “I have to go, I’ll see you tomorrow”. Dante ran to the Moon Dorm in a hurry ‘Why is he here of all places, why can’t he just leave Yuki alone’. Dante stopped and saw Senrie walking towards him with Takuma, Dante saw Senrie and saw one red eye and one blue eye “Well, if you haven’t picked up my scent already, you really are a pain in the ass”. Dante gripped his fists “What do you want Rido”? Senrie laughed and a small string of blood danced around him “I want the girl, Juri’s bloodline, and for your death, I’ve always wanted to taste your blood, might be better than Victoria’s”. Dante knew he couldn’t fire Pride or Greed at Senrie without killing him, nor causing a scene, Dante smiled and gave Senrie the finger “Get fucked dipshit”. Senrie looked at Dante shocked then attacked him with the blood rope, Dante dodged it and kept on dodging ‘Fuck, if I had known this would happen, I would’ve hit Senrie earlier on’. Dante landed on the ground and looked at him “You really are the biggest pest Dante”. Dante ran at him and was hit by the blood through his heart, Dante winced but kept moving forward “You really do want to protect that girl, I see why Juri gave you to her, no matter”. Senrie came forward and snapped Dante’s neck killing him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Sixteenth Night: Dante woke up in the infirmary, he looked to his right and saw Kaien sitting next to him “Oh good, you’re awake”. Dante sat up and crack his neck “Son of a bitch, should’ve seen that one coming”. Dante got up and walked to the door “She’s trying to remember you know, she’s now seeing blood everywhere and is passing out”. Dante stopped and looked back at Kaien “Why is she”? Kaien stood up and adjusted his glasses “I don’t know, but I think the spell Juri used is fading and is making her go insane, you have to help her”. Dante looked away “Fine, but I have condition”. Kaien looked at Dante surprised “I leave the Night Class and have full permission to wander the school freely”. Kaien sighed “You are a pain, why can’t you be like normal people”. Dante rolled his eyes “But then, I will allow this to happen, as long as you do everything in your power to prevent Yuki, from being awakened”. Dante nodded and walked out of the infirmary and walked down the corridor as Yuki walked towards him with Yori, Zero and then Dante saw Akatsuki, Aido, Rima and Seiren behind them, Dante smiled and took out his phone and took a picture “No that is funny, you four having to watch after these three”. They looked away in shame except for Rima and Seiren, Yuki stoped next to Dante “Kaname ordered them to, it feels weird”. Dante looked at them “We have our orders to protect the Cross girl, and you have no authority to do so, as our that girl is Kaname’s lover”. Dante looked at Yuki then back at Seiren “Motherfucker, he’s going to get his arse kicked right now”. Dante walked past them but Yuki grabbed his arm “I said I would be his lover, please don’t get into a fight”. Dante kept walking and was dragging Yuki with him, Zero then grabbed his other arm but Dante kept walking “Man he’s strong, Yori, give us a hand”. Yori walked in front of Dante “Please stop”. Dante stopped and Yuki and Zero let go “Thanks Yori, now Dante, I don’t want you to hit or fight Kaname”. Dante groaned, and turned and looked at Yuki “Alright, I won’t hit or fight him, but I will kill him if he hurts you”. Yuki smiled in relief “Alright, but can you walk with us to class, I’ll feel more comfortable with you around then having them watching me”. Dante put his hand on her head and rubbed her hair “Alright, but you do know you have Zero and Yori with you”. Yuki shook her head “I meant the people in my class, they would be staring at me because the news had gotten out”. Dante sighed and picked up Yuki in his arms “Well, let’s show them not to mess the Cross kids”. Dante ran down the corridor whilst Yuki was hitting him on the head trying to get him to put her down.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante put her down at the door “You jerk”. She punched him in the arm, Dante smiled and saw Yori and Zero walking towards them with Aido and Akatsuki behind them “I may never get to do that again anyway”. Yuki stopped and looked at him “What do you mean”? Dante looked at away ‘How would I tell her, that I might die soon by Rido’s hand or by Victoria’s’. Dante looked at Yuki with a smile “Kaname might take you away from me and I would never see you again”. Yuki hugged him “I want you to not think about things like that, I want you to know that I still want you by my side, as my brother”. Dante hugged her back “I know I will, but you should know that I still may not be around forever”. Yori and Zero caught up and stopped at the door “You three best go in, I’ll be at the door, and might come in later”. They went in and Dante leaned next to the door as Aido and Akatsuki did the same on the other side “She’s a stubborn girl, I bet she gets it from you”. Dante smiled and shrugged “Probably, I did train her to be, just to annoy the living crap out of Kaname”. Dante took out the box of cigarettes and took one and lit it “Hey Dante, what’s up with Senrie and Ichiru”. Dante looked at Akatsuki “Ichiru’s here, what the fuck has been happening to me, I’ve had the biggest sleep ever and miss a lot of shit”. Dante sighed and puff out some smoke “You know, you two really like to follow Kaname’s orders, don’t you”. Akatsuki looked at Dante “We do it because of who he is, just like how your Demons follow you”. Dante shook his “They don’t follow me, they see me as another one of them, that took the role of their leader, they know what they have to do, but they respect me and my kinds rank because we are the ones that created them, that is why”. Dante heard some of the girls crying and talking about Yuki’s new relation with Kaname “And we have to listen to this shit, damn it”. Dante looked at Akatsuki and Aido “One of you should head back, I think two is enough”. Akatsuki nodded and walked away “See ya then”. Aido looked at him “Don’t leave me with him”. Aido sighed and looked at Dante “Why’s Cross so special to you, she’s Human and you’re an Immortal creature of the night with us”. Dante laughed “There’s no such thing as Immortal, if I was an immortal I wouldn’t be able to die, and you Vampires can die”. Aido looked at him “But you can take some much damage and yet live”. Dante shrugs “I’m just stronger and can take enough damage, but I can still die, but only by the hand of my Master or from another Full Blooded Demon”. Aido shrugged “I see, but why are you protecting Yuki, is she your Mistress or something”. Dante gave him a stare “I care for Yuki a lot, for many reasons, but one of them is that I made a promise, to someone dear to me”. Looks at the butterfly tattoo on his right wrist “So must have been close to the Cross girl, was it her real mother”. Dante looked at Aido “That is something I can’t say, but mark my words, if you say anything about this to anyone, I will gut you”. Aido freaked out and looked at him “I won’t I promise say anything”. Dante looked at the door “Hey, Dante, remember how you said that what if Kaname’s parents were murdered, it is true isn’t it, Kaname told me”. Dante nodded without looking at Aido “What happened on that night, really”? Dante could remember that night really well “Kaname’s uncle, came for a reason, Haruka and I fought him and his servants, but I was attack by an outlaw Demon, I watched as Haruka died and could smell Juri’s blood and felt her death, Kaname and I both survived and we later found Yuki saving her from one of the Vampires”. Aido looked at the ground “Kaname is hiding more, isn’t he”. Dante blew out more smoke “He is, but that is something both he, Kaien and myself know, and we have spent ten years hiding it, but I have held this secret longer, as they don’t know the other half of it”. Dante heard the door open and he saw Ichiru walk out “Oh, it’s you Devil, I was hoping you would be here, strange though, I know a lot on you, but one thing I don’t understand, you and Zero both care for that girl, I’ll make sure my Lord ends your life”. Ichiru walked away and Dante stared at him “And I will be waiting for him”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat with Kaien in his house “Yuki might soon be awake”. Dante looked at the cup of coffee “She can’t wake up, Juri wanted that and I promised it”. Kaien looked at Dante “I know how you are feeling but Yuki will lose her mind due to what she is seeing, she’s been trying to remember her past self, and its making her go insane”. They heard a knock at the door and they both got up and walked to the door, Kaien opened it and they saw Kaname carrying Yuki “She’s getting worse, she will need to rest and try to forget, but if it gets worse, I will transform her”. Dante gritted his teeth “Are you crazy, turning her into a Vampire is what Rido wants, she won’t be able to defend herself if he attacks her”. Kaname walked in and past Dante and Kaien “I’ll have some of the Night Class watch over her”. Dante reached for Pride but Kaien grabbed his arm “I don’t want her awakened more than you do, but if it comes to it, I will be prepared to do anything to protect her”. Dante let go of Pride and walked out of the house “I hope he knows the consequences of what he plans on doing, as I know what they are”. Dante walked down the pathway with his hands in his pockets “He’s going to do it, isn’t he”? Dante looked up and saw Juri standing in front of him “He is, I tried to warn him, but he wouldn’t listen, plus there is nothing I can really do but wait”. Dante walked past her and she followed him “My brother will try to get her, what will you do”? Dante shrugged “I don’t know, I’m just going to wait till something happens”. Dante felt it getting colder and saw his breathe “Dante, does anyone know about when I gave you to Yuki except her”. Dante shook his head then smiled “And since they don’t know, Rido will try to kill me using Victoria or will try himself, Yuki will know what will happen when they kill me, what a fun way to show them the true power of a Demon”. Dante stopped and looked back at Kaien’s house “Ten years, I have waited for ten years to see Yuki Kuran again, and right now, I want her to be safe, just as you wanted”. Juri smiled and put her hands on Dante’s cheeks “I know I could count on you, make me proud”. She kissed his lips and Dante looked at her eyes widened, he watched as she faded away, he stood alone in the middle of the pathway, he looked up at the night sky and smiled “I will{, Dante turned and continued to walk away from the house.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante looked at the guitar case which held Lucifer in it, he opened it and took it out “Once again, I will soon serve a Kuran with this blade”. Dante put it on his back and grabbed his crystal and looked at it ‘I have been watching over Yuki since that night, she has been kind to me and never turned me away, oh Juri, she is just like you’. Dante smelt blood and knew it was Yuki’s, he ran out of the room and down the corridor but saw Senrie and Takuma standing in the way “You can smell her blood, you really are a top predator”. Dante pulled out Pride and Greed and aimed it at Senrie “Would you really shoot Senrie, you know it won’t kill me, my body is still in tacked and you won’t kill your old Master”. Dante tried to squeeze the trigger but he couldn’t “Maybe not, but I will make sure you don’t lay a finger on Yuki”. Dante ran past them and to the door “You’re a fool Dante, you always were”. Dante didn’t care, he wanted to make sure Yuki was alright. Dante ran to the clock tower and saw Zero standing at the top of it aiming Bloody Rose down at something, Dante could smell two Purebloods, Dante froze and knew that Yuki Cross was gone, now all that was left was Yuki Kuran.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante watched as Kaname walked towards Dante holding Yuki “So, you’ve woken her up”? Kaname looked at Dante “I have, and she will need to rest, follow me”. Dante wanted to hesitate but remember that Yuki had to give her first order to him in order for him to become her servant “You do know that Rido’s men will be trying to get in, they’ll be coming to get a gift for their master if he is resurrected fully, how will you protect her when that comes”. Kaname walked on and Dante followed “I’m leaving her protection to you and the Night Class”. Dante looked at Kaname “What about the Day Class students, are you going to leave them out to be taken for food”? Kaname stopped and looked at Dante “The Night Class students will defend them, as will Kaien Cross, as the legendary Hunter he was”. Dante remembered Kaien as a Hunter, they fought once and Kaien and lopped off Dante’s head but Juri and him become friends, as did Dante “What about the Senate, you and I both know that they will want Rido to take over, if he fails, they will come after Yuki, Ichijo is behind all of this”. Kaname continued to walk “I will see to it after I have made sure Yuki is safe, go to Kaien, and make sure he knows what will happen and make sure he is ready to make those choices”. Dante nodded and ran through the trees ‘Yuki, Juri, Haruka, you three are the decedents of Kaname, you three have shown yourselves worthy, Juri and Haruka, you two were strong to protect your own daughter, Juri, you were my true Master since Kaname, and Yuki, you shall become my new Master, Kaname will be your shield, and I will be your sword, whilst Zero, will become your armour’. Dante stopped and had forgotten Zero ‘He’s the one, oh, what a show this will become’. Dante smiled making his fangs show and then continued running.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Seventeenth Night: Dante couldn’t find Kaien, so he went back to where Kaname had taken Yuki ‘Will she remember me, the creature who watched her and played with her’. Dante saw Akatsuki and Aido standing in front of Kaien’s house, he walked towards them “You shouldn’t be here Demon, Kaname has ordered us to keep you away”. Dante smiled and looked at them “You would really keep me away from her, she is Juri’s daughter, my old Master’s daughter, and I will not let you stop me”. Dante made shadows come to him and he became a shadow and went through one of the windows where Kaname and Yuki sat on a bed “She really is beautiful, just like her mother”. Dante went to his Human form and stood in front of Yuki, she looked at him scared “Dante, I told Akatsuki and Aido to tell you to stay away, you should’ve listen to them”. Dante kept his smiled “And keep me away from my one and true Master, or should I say, Mistress”. Dante walked forward and stood in front of Yuki and bowed “I am your servant, I serve those of the Kuran blood, I am your sword, I am sharpened, I am clean, I can cut through anything, and you are the one that wields me, I am your servant, Dante”. He looked up and Yuki looked at him “I see, Dante, I remember when mother gave you to me, you and her made that promise, but I can’t be you Master, I don’t want you as my servant”. Dante’s eyes widened and he stood up “You stupid girl, throwing a blade away is like throwing your life away, no matter”. Dante walked back towards the wall and looked at Yuki with violet eyes “I was ready to serve you, but now, I hope you know what you are doing”. Dante went through the wall to the next room, he looked at the wall and sighed ‘She will need me when the time comes”. Dante looked out the window and saw the moon ‘I sense Rido’s men, they are waiting for his coming, and I will be waiting for the final showdown’. Dante smiled and pulled out Pride and Greed and looked at them ‘Soon, there will be Devils blood on these grounds’. Dante walked to the window and went through the window and disappeared.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood away from a tree with a target on it, he aimed Greed at it and fired ‘Bulls eye’. Dante fired at more targets and each one he hit, he got a bulls eye and spun Greed on his finger “Nice shots, with one that gun”. Dante turned and saw Yagari leaning on one of the tree’s he had shoot at “Yeah, sully customized M1911 pistols that can fire any type of bullet, silver, steel or brass, and the joy of these two babies is that it can kill any type of Vampire and Demon”. Yagari walked to him taking his shotgun from his back and pointed it at Dante “This gun does more damage than those two pistols”. Dante smiled showing his fangs “Really, then let’s see who gets the most kills when that assholes servants come here”. Yagari smiled “I’ll take that bet, but will you or I last that long”. Dante shrugged “Maybe, how’s Zero, last I saw him, he looked upset”. Yagari lit a cigarette “Not well, he’s getting worse and might turn Level E if we’re not careful”. Dante swore under his breath “Hey Yagari, duck”. Yagari did so and Dante fired Greed at a figure behind him “Nice try dipshit, but I saw you a mile away”. Dante looked around and saw more coming out from the trees “These ones shouldn’t be here, or maybe they’re just trying to trier us”. The Vampires attacked them but Dante fired Greed and pulled out Pride as well and shot each one “I’m winning that bet so far”. Yagari got up and looked at the piles of ash “You lucky bastard, first some Hunters came now these bastards”. Dante spun Pride and Greed and put them away “They know of Yuki and are trying to get but not where she is, we have to report this to Kaien and evacuate the students”. Yagari nodded and they ran through the trees to the main school building where they saw Kaien standing at the doors “Dante, Kaname and I have agreed the evacuate the students out of this school, I want you to go with the class president and get the Day Class students ready, then escort them to the emergency lift”. Dante nodded and ran to the Sun Dormitory where he saw some Night Class students and the class president “Oh no, what are you doing here, I thought Mr Yagari would be taking us”. He saw Lucifer on Dante’s back and panicked “Are you getting every student ready”? He nodded and Dante walked to the dorm and saw some Day Class students standing around with backs whilst other were coming out “Senpai Cross, what’s going on”? Dante stood up to the stairs and looked at the students “Everyone listen up, you will listen to your class president and follow him to an exit, when you have all of your things, have a partner with you, you and you”. Dante pointed to two Night Class students “I want you two to follow me and check through the dorms”. They nodded and the three of them walked into the dorm and search everywhere, Dante ran into Yori and another girl “Dante, what are you”. Yori saw Lucifer and her eyes widened “Dante, what kind of an emergency is this”? Dante looked at her “Something that you wouldn’t understand, but what’s important is that you and the other students are taken to safety”. Yori looked at him and walked past him “You too, Yuki and you sure are great friends, you both walk away from someone trying to help you”. Dante gipped his hands and walked away from her.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante lead the Day Class students down into an underground way “I never knew this was here”. Dante saw Kaien and a large steel door, Yagari and Dante walked to him “This place, never knew it was here, smart thinking”. Kaien smiled “I had this in case, glad you like it”. Dante shrugged “Wait, wait, we’re missing a number of students, it’s my entire fault”. They heard the elevator coming up “Shit, Dante go with Yagari and take the students to the hall”. Dante took out Pride and Greed and smiled “And miss out on all the fun”. Kaien gave him a stare “Alright, but make sure they get a hello call from me”. Kaien smiled “Alright, now go”. Dante and Yagari turned and they made the students go back the way they came “Dante, you know they will still go after them”. Dante nodded and sensed some Vampires ahead “Shit, they’re ahead of us”. Dante pushed in front of the students and fired into the dark corridor “Yagari, take them through there, I’ll handle these shitheads”. Dante continued to fire and saw them getting closer till her felt a pipe fly into his leg, Dante yelled in pain and continued firing “Go now”. Yagari lead the students away and looked back at Dante “You take care, I am not carrying your body out”. Dante looked at him “Don’t bother, now go”. Dante walked towards the Vampires whilst firing at them, one of them was left and kept on running “Well, well, a little bit of fun”. Dante put Pride and Greed away and took Lucifer from his back and ran at the Vampire “I WILL KILL YOU DEVIL”. Dante smiled and cut the Vampire in half turning it into ash “Sorry, but I’m not ready”. Dante flicked Lucifer and put it on his back, he looked at his leg wound and saw the pipe was still in his, he winced and pulled it out, he threw it away and turned around and walked after the students and Yagari, he was limping till the wound had healed, Dante stopped and saw Juri with Haruka “Juri, Haruka”. They walked up to him and Haruka put his hand on Dante’s shoulder “Hello Dante, long time no see”. Dante smiled and nodded “Yeah, you’re looking well, for a dead guy”. Haruka laughed, Dante looked at Juri “Dante, you know what is to happen, now that Rido is being resurrected and Yuki has been awakened”. Dante nodded “A kid named Zero will be the one, from what Kaname has said, he’ll be the one to finish off Rido, but all I can to is nothing but to keep Rido’s servants away, as well as myself”. Dante turned away and walked away “What happened”? Dante sighed and rubbed his hair “Yuki told me off, I was ready to serve her, but she turned me away”. Juri looked down and walked to him “Dante, you have to show her that you’re ready, and when she realises this, you will unleash your full power”. Juri put her soft hands on his cheeks and made him look at her “We believe in you, and we will give you our souls to help you”. Juri and Haruka turned into a white mist and went into Dante, he breathed in and felt a breeze blow through him “Dante, are you alright”? Dante turned and saw Kaien running towards him “Kaien, I know what I have to do”. Kaien looked at him “Dante, what are you talking about”? Dante ran down the corridor, Kaien sighed and ran after him.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked to the doors of the hall and saw Yagari standing at the doors “They in there”? He nodded, Dante and Kaien stood next to the him “The Hunters are coming, and this time it’s the president”. Dante sighed “I’m not fighting that transvestite, I vote Kaien fight him”. Yagari smiled and lit another cigarette “I want to protect this school and it’s students, I will not let the Vampire Senate or the Hunters Association get in the way”. Dante looked at Yagari and nodded “Well, you should stop acting tough”. Yagari kicked Kaien in the back “You sound old and it doesn’t suit you”. Dante and Yagari walked to the doors outside “No smoking on the school grounds”. Dante smiled and looked back taking out Pride “Take care Kaien, you’ll need it”. Yagari and Dante walked out and walked together “Hey Yagari, you got a cig”. He handed Dante a cigarette and Dante clicked his finger making a flame pop up and he lit his cigarette “You know something, I hope this lasts a while”. Yagari smiled “Yeah, more kills for us, I’m heading to the front gate, and make sure no one will get through”. Dante nodded “I’ll look for any missing students that are wondering around, I’ll make sure they head back to the hall”. Yagari nodded and they hit knuckles together “Get as many kills, the one with the least, buys the drinks”. Dante laughed “Yeah, that’s going to be you”. Dante walked away and picked up the scent of a student, but this scent was a familiar one, it was Yori’s scent.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante ran towards where Yori’s scent was getting stronger, he jumped through the tree line and saw Yuki, Aido, Yori and Kaname, Dante saw five Vampires across the other side ready to attack them, he pulled out Pride and Greed and saw them charge at them, Dante ran at them and fired at them, Kaname and Aido looked at Dante and Kaname smiled. Dante put Pride and Greed away and pulled Lucifer from his back and cut three of them in half, the remaining two faced him “You will die here Devil, by our Master’s pets hands”. Dante smiled showing his fangs “I know, but she’ll die as well”. They jumped at him and stuck their hands into him, he smiled and tore one of their heads off and bit the other ones throat, he drained its blood and felt it turned into ash, he spat some of the blood in his mouth away and looked at the others “It’s been awhile since I last saw you feed on them”. Dante looked at them with a shrug “They’re weaklings, I’m more interested in some of Rido’s blood or another Purebloods but right now I’m more interested in saving this school”. He looked at Yuki then back at Kaname “Let me guess, Yuki hasn’t still taken you in, well maybe you should give up”. Dante took out Pride and Greed and smiled with blood going down his lips “Maybe you should kiss my bullets”. Yuki stood in front of Kaname “Stop it, Kaname please”. Kaname stopped and looked at Yuki “Alright, but you will go with Aido and get to safety”. Aido took Yuki’s arm but she pulled it away “I want to help”. Kaname looked at her “You can’t fight, you can’t even wield Artemis”. Dante saw Artemis on the floor and watched as Yori pick it up, and put it on her brace on his thigh “No matter what, we will always be friends”. Dante smiled and turned “Dante wait”. Dante looked at Yuki and she walked up to him “Dante, I can’t take you as a servant because, you are like my brother, but even more, I’m scared of what will happen to you”. Dante smiled and put his hand on her head and rubbed her hair “Yuki, when I am under your service, you won’t be scared, but when it’s the right time, you will know when you are ready to take me, and when that time comes, you will say this”. Dante put his lips close to her ears and whispered something, he ran his hands through her long hair “I like your hair long, it makes you look just like Juri, but more beautiful”. Dante knew Juri would kill him if she heard him, but he didn’t care “Thank you Dante, now, go and protect this school”. Dante bowed and turned away and ran into the trees.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante stood on the roof of the clock tower, he saw the sun going down and could smell Rido’s men coming into the school, as well as his full resurrection “My Master has awoken, you lose”. Dante turned around and saw Victoria standing on the opposite side, she wore a white coat with the Kuran crest on the right sleeve “So what, as has mine”. Victoria smiled and looked at the school “You know, I really wished you joined us, we could’ve continued to live our lives together”. Dante looked at her “Maybe, but then again, why should I when you had killed Vector, my best friend, and apprentice as well as the other Demons you murdered, including you Master”. Victoria looked at Dante with a smile “Oh come on, Vector’s death was his own fault, and the other Demons died because they were weak, my Master was pathetic and was the worst Master, so I killed him and joined Rido are you happy at what I have done”. Dante looked away and sat on the edge “Nope, I’m just pissed off that you did it, but just so you know, I never really wanted to be with you, I loved Juri and her daughter, and you know what, they loved me back, you pathetic bitch”. Victoria growled at Dante “You will regret that, when my Master Rido gives me the order, I will cut off your head and tear your body apart”. Victoria vanished through lightning leaving Dante alone, he smiled and looked up at the night sky “Can’t wait”.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Eighteenth Night: Dante walked along the pathway as he pasted piles of ash, he saw ahead of him Akatsuki, Ruka, Seiren and Aido fighting off some of Rido’s men, Dante threw Lucifer at one straight into its head and went into a tree “Devil, what are you doing here”? Dante walked to the tree and pulled Lucifer from it “Hunting, and waiting”. He flicked away the blood and put it on his back “Waiting for what”? Dante looked at them “An order, from my Master”. Akatsuki looked at Aido “Well, at least you aren’t going to get beaten by Kaname for leaving the Kuran Princess”. Dante looked at Aido “You son of a bitch, if Rido or his men get her, the Kuran blood line will be fucked”. Aido looked scared, Dante sighed and sniffed the air “Her scent is strong, so she’s still alive, come on, we have to find her”. Dante ran after Yuki’s scent whilst the others followed him “Is she alive”? Dante didn’t answer, but as he got closer he could smell others with her, Vampires, he pulled out Pride and Greed and fired at some of the Vampires, Seiren threw some knives at them and killed them, they ran to Yuki “Are you okay”? She nodded and Dante put Pride and Greed away “You shouldn’t be out, the threat wants you and his sending his servants after you”. Dante looked at Ruka “But I want to fight, I want to protect this school and its students”. Dante looked at Aido “Shut up, you are weak right now, you can’t wield Artemis properly and right now we’re the only people who are left to protect you”. Dante looked at Yuki and saw the gun with her leg brace “Six shots”. Yuki looked at him “You have six shots to use, use them wisely”. Yuki looked at with a smile “Oh how sweet is this, falling for this Pureblood whore”. Dante turned and saw Victoria coming out of the tree line, she had her small blades out and walking towards him “You will die here Dante, with your friends”. Dante laughed “Friends, you think these Vampires are my friends, no Yuki Kuran is my Mistress, and I follow her orders and will die for her”. The others looked at Dante then at Yuki “Dante, I order you, defeat Rido’s Demon”. Dante smiled and looked back at Yuki and bowed “I will, my Mistress”. Dante spun and pulled out Pride and Greed “Go help Yagari in the meantime”. Dante fired at Victoria so Yuki and the others could get away, when they were gone he stopped and put Pride and Greed away “Fool, you should’ve kept them with you”. Dante took Lucifer and walked towards Victoria “Maybe, but I am going to kill you right here and right now”. Victoria smiled and ran at Dante and their blades connected.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Yuki saw Yagari fighting off some Vampires “Mr Yagari”. She ran to him and helped him, the others finished off some of the Vampires and Akatsuki made a fire barrier stopping them from getting in “Your teachers getting beat up and you come now”. Yuki looked at the Vampires “Who are they”? Yagari looked at the Vampires “They’re the Hunters Associations darkest secret, they have their own small army of them, bastards”. Some jumped over the gate but Kaien came out of nowhere and cut them in half whilst they were in mid-air killing them “Headmaster”. Kaien looked at the Vampires “The Association have pushed it this time, I want you to take Yuki to safety, I’ll deal with these monsters”. Kaien jumped up onto the gate and stood there “This is as far as you will go”. He stabbed his sword into the top and it crumbled down onto some of the Vampires “Headmaster”. Kaien looked back at her “It’s not Headmaster, its Father”. Yuki looked at Kaien, the man that raised her for most of her life ready to go into battle “Ok, father”. Kaien smiled then ran at the Vampires yelling “FATHER”. Yagari sighed and got up “He’s hard to kill, for a legend, now you should listen to what he says, get to somewhere safe”. Yuki looked away at one of the buildings “Rido will just keep sending in waves of Vampires just to get me, I will face him”. Yagari smiled and lit a cigarette “You are just as crazy as the old man, but I can’t stop you, just hope you know what you are doing”. Yuki thought of what Dante had whispered to her “I do, and I will make sure Rido is stopped”. She looked at the others “We are with you”. She nodded and they ran to where she could sense Rido.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Yuki and the others made their way to where Rido was hiding, they saw Senrie and Rima sitting at the steps “Rima, Senrie, what are you two doin here”? Rima shrugged “We were looking for that guy, but he makes it obvious where he is”. Yuki looked up at the roof, she ran past them into the building, the others followed her as well as Rima and Senrie, Yuki ran up the stairs thinking of what she would do ‘Will I call for Dante when we get there, or when he attacks’? So many things ran through her head as she ran up the stairs, then the thought of Zero and Kaname entered ‘Please be alright’. They made it to the door and the burst it open and ran ahead but stopped when they saw a man sitting on a pile of bodies “My, my if it isn’t Juri and her gang of friends here to stop me”. Yuki gritted her teeth “We will stop you”. The others ran at Rido but he made a shadows go around them preventing them from moving “My goodness Master, you sure can’t stop these fools”. Yuki saw Victoria come from around the pile, she held something in her hand “Yes, but I’m not going to be selfish, why don’t you have some”. Some of the bodies got up and moved towards Aido and the others, Rido looked at Victoria “Did you get it my dear”? Victoria smiled and held out the item in her hand, Yuki looked at it horrified “I might hang this up on my wall at home”. The item was a head, a head that belonged to Dante.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Yuki closed her eyes and looked away from Dante’s head “Yuki run”. Yuki shook the fear away and went forward but watched as Rido vanished, she stopped and felt someone grabbed her from behind her “You smell so much like Juri, I promise I’ll be gentle”. Yuki touch Artemis but it shocked her, she winced and felt Rido’s hot breathe blow on her neck ‘I have to do something, I can’t call for Dante, I have to protect them without him’. Yuki gripped Artemis and it shorn and she cut Rido’s arm “I am a Guardian, step away from those students”. The Vampires stepped back and Yuki looked at Rido “You can’t do much now, I have a Demon with me, Juri’s daughter”. Yuki looked at Dante’s head and remembered what Dante had whispered to her “You are the blade I wield, I point you in the direction of my enemies, you are sharpened clean, you are Dante and my servant”. The area went dark and ash’s started piling up together “What is this”? Yuki looked at Victoria “You may have cut Dante’s head off, but you can’t kill him, he has been around since the first Kuran and Purebloods, he is the Demon Dante”. Dante’s head turned into ash and went into the pile, the ash turned into a black shadow and Dante stepped out from it with a smile “You have said the creed, you truly are my Mistress”. Dante looked at Rido then at Victoria “I am your servant, I serve those of the Kuran blood, I am your sword, I am sharpened, I am clean, I can cut through anything, and you are the one that wields me, I am your servant, Dante, give me an order”. Yuki swallowed and pointed at Victoria “Kill her”. Dante looked at Victoria and pulled Lucifer from his back “Yes, my Master”. Victoria attack Dante and they locked into battle together “I will kill you again, and if you come back I will kill you over and over”. Dante deflect each of her attacks waiting for a mistake “You were pathetic Victoria, you should’ve stayed as the servant of your previous Master”. Dante kicked Victoria away and pulled out Pride, but Victoria cut it in half, Dante was then kicked in the gut and went into a wall, he knelt on the ground and spat out blood “You hit me”. Dante looked at her with a smile showing his fangs, he stabbed Lucifer into the ground and a red aura went around him “Release seals one and two”. Dante’s coat went into him and a black straight jacket went around him, his hair grew longer and his eyes changed to violet, he made the area around Victoria go black “What is this”? Dante disappeared and watched her “A power that a Full Blood Demon can do, by releasing our seals”. Dante went behind Victoria and grabbed her arm and kicked her knee breaking it, she screamed in pain and stabbed one of her blades into his chest, Dante pulled back his arm and flattened his hand “This is your end, Victoria”. He stuck his hand in her chest and she grasped for breathe, she looked at him and smiled “You win, I have finally lost”. The area went back to normal and Dante’s clothes changed back, Victoria turned into flames and Dante held a necklace, it was sapphire blue and he knew it belonged to Victoria “I’m sorry it had to come to this”. Dante grabbed Lucifer and walked back to where the others were.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante walked through a sea of ash, he saw Yuki and the other Night Class students “Shit, what happened here”? Yuki saw him and tears ran down her cheeks, she ran to him and hugged him “I thought you were dead for good”. Dante hugged her back “I would never leave you, besides I still want to know what happened here”. Akatsuki walked up to them “Zero did this, he devoured his twin brother and all the power in his body was overflowing, Yuki… I mean Lady Kuran, cut him with the Artemis rod, he had some kind of power and killed each of Rido’s servants, but he’s going after him”. Dante looked at the trees “We’d best get off the roof”. Yuki looked at him “Alright, but what happened to Victoria”? Dante looked down at the ground “She’s dead, just like you ordered me to”, Yuki looked down in guilt “I’m sorry”. Dante rubbed her head “Don’t sweat it kiddo, her time was up”. Dante put his arm around her and walked to the door “The expense on rebuilding this place though, crap, Kaien’s probably going to need help paying for it, and I’m usually the one that does that”. Yuki smiled “Hey Dante”. Dante stopped and looked back at Aido, he walked up to Dante and put out his hand “You did good”. Dante smiled and shook Aido’s hand “You did too, you all did, now come on, we’re not out of the heat yet, not till Zero has killed Rido once and for all”. They ran off the roof and back down the stairs. They made their way through the school to a fountain when Dante felt Rido’s presence disappear “He’s gone, Rido’s finally dead”. Dante saw Yuki run away from them, Dante sighed and sat on the edge of the fountain “It’s finally finished”. He looked at the sky and smiled “Thank god, now I can finally get some sleep”. Dante lay back putting his head under the water and closed his eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Nineteenth Night: Dante stood on the roof of the clock tower with Yuki “Zero isn’t happy that I’m a Vampire”. Dante looked at her “Yeah, he’ll get over it though, he’s a strong kid”. Dante took out his Violet crystal and looked at it “So what’s the plan with you, you going with Kaname or something”. Yuki looked away “I want to be with him, forever, what about you”? Dante shrugged “I won’t be going with you”. Yuki looked at Dante “Why”? Dante looked at her “Rido is dead now, the promise is over and you are better protected with him”. Yuki smiled “I thought you would tell me not to go”. Dante shrugged “I’m just your servant, besides your mother and father wanted you to be with him”. Yuki hugged him and Dante kissed her head “Now go on, you silly little girl, you’ll miss him if you don’t go and get ready”. Yuki nodded and walked to the stairs “Hey Yuki, keep this on you”. He threw her his crystal, she caught it and looked at it “If you are even in trouble, rub it and call my name, and will be there for you”. Yuki smiled and blew his a kiss before leaving, Dante smiled and watched as she ran down the stairs, Dante smiled and looked at the sun as it was rising “You did it Dante, you saved out daughter”. Dante smiled and felt Juri’s presence, he looked up at the sky and then turned to the stairs and walked down the stairs, he looked at his wrist and saw the butterfly tattoo was a bit faded, he sighed “I’m going to miss this”. Dante rolled his sleeve down and reached the end of the stairs and walked out of the building, he saw Yuki running down the pathway, he smiled and walked towards the Moon Dorm to pack his things.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante finished packing his things together and folded the bed sheets, he put his bag sling over his shoulder, he grabbed his guitar case and suit case and walked out of the room, he closed the door and walked to the stairs where he saw the maid waiting at the door, she held a brown paper bag in her hand and smiled at him “I heard you were leaving, so I packed some food for you”. Dante smiled and walked down the stairs and stood in front of her “Thanks, you know, no one has kindly made something for me in a long time”. He took the bag and put a hand on her shoulder “I’ll miss your cooking and your service, thank you”. She bowed and walked away, Dante walked out of the Moon Dorm and walked down the pathway, he felt the sun’s warmth on his face “A new day, damn”. Dante saw Yuki and Kaname ahead of him, he sighed and walked towards them but kept his distance. After following them he stopped and looked to his left and saw Yori walking with a group of Day Class students, she saw him and he walked to her “You’re leaving”? Dante nodded “I have nothing else left to do here, besides, I have to leave anyway, my trip back to where I was heading was cancelled”. Yori looked down at the ground, Dante held her chin and made her looked at him “Don’t look sad, I may come back”. Yori hugged him “I know you will, and you’ll come back with Yuki and we’ll all be together”. Dante smiled and looked at her “We will”. Yori kissed Dante’s cheek and walked away, Dante looked at her and touched his cheek “Good-bye Dante, I can’t wait to see you again”. Dante smiled and bowed “As will I, Yori Wakaba”. Dante picked up his guitar bag and walked away ‘I might actually come back’. Dante walked to the broken gate and saw Bethany still wearing her uniform “Where were you during the battle”? Bethany straightened up “I was with the Day Class students protecting them, just in case”. Dante smiled and walked to her, he put his hand on her head “I take it you want to stay here”? Bethany nodded “Then you can, I leave this Academy under your protection now, I am going to miss you”. Bethany smiled and hugged Dante “I will too, nii-san”. Dante smiled and looked at the destroyed gate and walked up it “Take care Bethany, you are now one our ranks”. Bethany bowed and Dante walked down the destroyed gate down the stairs, leaving Cross Academy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante sat on the train alone, he looked out the window and saw the as the land moved past him at high speed, he sighed and one of his bags fell off and everything fell out “Shit”. Dante put everything back it but found a note amongst the pile that had his name on it, he picked it up and opened it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> ‘Dear Dante

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> I know this maybe good-bye but I want you to know something. I am glad you and Kaname saved that night, and I am glad that you stayed with me when I was a Vampire, you will always be a big brother to me and a faithful servant, please take this gift that Kaname and I are giving you.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Your Sister and Mistress

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Yuki Kuran’.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"> Dante looked at the brown bag and opened it, he saw two vials of blood, one was Kaname’s the other was Yuki’s, he smiled and put them back into the bag and closed it, he put them into his bag along with the note, and sat back ‘What a time I’ve had’. Dante felt his phone vibrate and he answered it “Hello Dante, it’s Maryanne, the publishers love your book and can’t wait for your next one, shall I put the money into your account”. Dante looked out the window “Yeah, and tell the publishers to not put pressure on me ever again”. Dante hung up and put his phone into his bag, he closed his eyes but heard the door open, he opened one eye and saw a young woman walked in, she saw Dante and took a seat in front of him “Excuse me, are you Dante”? Dante shrugged “Depends on whose asking”. The woman twirled her thumbs “I don’t know how to say this, but I’m Vector’s wife”. Dante looked at her “Vector had a wife, are you Demon”? She shook her head “That’s why I’m here, I want you to turn me into a Demon, so I can live for him”. Dante sighed and sat up “You do know what will happen to you if I do, you will have to leave your family, and will watch those you love die and age”. The woman nodded, Dante put his hand on her forehead “What’s your name”? The woman closed her eyes “Lydia, Lydia Mitchell”. Dante smiled and then the train went into the tunnel as a flash snapped up and then darkness.
