Hidden Fangs

Kurai entered the classroom, look at the long stretches of table in front of him. Taking an empty chair, he swung it around and sat on it backwards. He crossed his arms over the back of the chair and waited for everyone to enter class.
He sat up when Yuki arrived with a new student. He narrowed his eyes, taking her in. "What are you doing here?" He sneered. "Don't you know this class is for vampires. You might as well leave and take your human blood with you." He held his stomach as he began laughing at his own 'joke'.
Yuki walked over to him, a dark look in his eyes as he brought his hand up and slapped the lower level vampire. "I'll have you know, Kurai, that Akira here is a Pureblood. Which, in case you have forgotten, has absolutely no human blood. However, I can't speak on your behalf."
Kurai was shocked, but he didn't reciprocate. Instead, he stood up and bowed. "I am so sorry, My Lady. Please forgive me, I have wronged you."
Yuki just shook his head as he took a seat at the back. He didn't often pull rank, but he couldn't just let the Aristocrat make a fool of himself in front of another Pureblood.

After attempting to make amends, Kurai sat back down, feeling like an idiot. He leaned back, only to realize that his chair was the other way around. Quickly he steadied himself and looked around only to realize, with relief, that no one had noticed.
He looked back to the front of the classroom to see a girl enter. He would not be making the same mistake twice. Although he knew she wasn't a Pureblood, Cross wouldn't allow this many, he turned his head. However, he couldn't help from looking back, eyes narrowed. With her chestnut brown hair and violet eyes, she reminded him much of a his childhood friend, however, he knew it couldn't be her. His friend would be dead by now. She was human.

As the Night Class started, Mai couldn't help but sneak a walk outside. She yawned, but quickly shook her head to rid of any tiredness. She was indeed tired, but sleep was the last thing on her mind. She was about to turn around and go back to the Sun Dorms, but a noise made her stop. Mai peered over the edge of the balcony and into the forest, only to see a  tall, skinny boy with glasses and messy black hair walking alone. Figuring he was a new student coming back from Headmaster Cross' residence, she was about to leap over the edge, when something stopped her. A shadow stepped out from behind a tree and approached the boy. She could tell it was another boy, but his eyes began to glow red. His dark head of hair was tucked under a hood and his hands were at his sides. She knew who it was. Takari. 

Takari approached the boy. His eyes beginning to red even more. "I do apologize," he began. "I'll make it quick, I promise. I'm just terribly thirsty and seeing that Master Cross is the only one that knows you're here, it won't make a difference if you disappear. Although, I do believe the Night Class would be blamed."

Welcome! Welcome!

"Lord Yuki." Yuki looked up from his book to see Kurai standing nearby. "Kaien Cross wants to see you. He said there is a Night Class student joining."
"I know," Yuki waved him away. "I was just about to go."
Kurai eyed him with surprise, but stepped out of the way as Yuki closed his book and made his way out of the Moon Dorms. "Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone."
"Yes, Prince Yuki."
Rolling his eyes, he headed towards the headmaster's residence. Once he reached it, he wasn't surprised at all to find two new students standing on either side of Cross' desk.
"Oh, great! You're here!" Cross brightened when Yuki walked in the door. "I was just explaining to Eri here the importance of being a vampire hunter. Mai and Katsu should be here soon. Once they take Eri, I want you to explain to Akira about the rules of being a vampire at Cross Academy. Yuki, she's a Pureblood." He enunciated it slowly, as if were stupid.
Narrowing his eyes at Cross, he simply nodded to Akira. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Yuki Shimizu." He was about to offer his hand, when Mai and Katsu walked in.

"Come on Katsu! It'll be fun!" Mai grabbed his hand and began dragging him down the hallway.
"No! No, it won't!" Katsu complained as he reluctantly followed. "Where are we even going?"
"You'll see!" She let go of his arm and looked back at him with a smile. As she was turning back around, she ran into someone. Looking up, she noticed the dark hair almost immediately. "Oh! I'm sorry, Takari!" She apologized with a small bow.
Takari looked down at her, his red eyes narrowing as he pushed past her and Katsu. Mai looked after him, her eyebrows furrowing together.
"Ah, don't worry about him!" Katsu said as placed his arm on her head as he leaned on her. "He's strange."
"He didn't used to be like that," Mai said as she shook of his arm and continued walking.
"I know." Katsu's voice was almost a whisper as he looked back at Katsu and then followed Mai. "So are you going to tell me where we're going?"
"Nope!" She grinned and walked into the headmaster's room. She was surprised when she noticed three people in the room with Headmaster Cross. Bowing, she apologized. "I'm sorry! I should've knocked!"
"Don't worry about it!" Cross grinned. "Mai, Katsu, you know Yuki."
"Yes, of course! He's a student from the Night Class!"
Katsu narrowed his eyes, but nodded.
"Well, there's another Night Class student joining Cross Academy. Her name is Akira. I have let Yuki explain to her about the academy. What I want you two to do is help Eri."
Mai nodded. "We can do that!" She shot Eri a smile. "Welcome to Cross Academy! I'm Mai Akiri and this is Katsu Tamostu!"
Cross gestured towards Mai and Katsu. "Go ahead, Eri. You're free to go."
"Thank you," Eri said as he walked over to the two.

After Mai, Katsu, and Eri left the room, Yuki turned his attention to Akira and gestured for her to go first. "Ladies first," he said. He was being polite, however, he wanted to make sure that she understood the rules for vampires at Cross Academy.

Sun Dormitory

The Sun Dormitory is the is one of Cross Academy's two Dormitories. The Sun Dorm is where the students of the Day Class live while the Night Class students study in the School Building. The Sun Dorm is divided into two seperate buildings, the Girls Dorm and the Boys Dorm, unlike the Moon Dormitory where all of the Night Class students sleep in the same building. The Girls Dorm and the Boys Dorm both have a Representative or President. The Sun Dorm isn't as well furnished and decorated as the Moon Dorm, which looks like a Noble's mansion, but the Sun Dorm is given a more basic and somewhat humble look.

Moon Dormitory

The Moon Dormitory is a place where the Night Class sleep and rest. The first temporary dormitory used to be an old staff building. Later on, the vampires moved into a more permanent building. It is described as a more of a Noble's mansion. This is because they have an area similar to a grand living room. They have a duel stair case with the stairs arcing around the living space. Purebloods usually have their own room while others have a roommate. The Moon Dorm also has a back entrance which is guarded by a hooded man seen rarely.
