(Okay, I added in a scene from the beginning of Vampire Knight into this chapter but this story takes place around the time Yuuki reawaked.)

ß----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------à

The breeze hit Mia's bare legs at she stood guard at the Moon gates. Her vibrant red hair blew in the wind as she watched the Day Class students swoon over the Night class. Yuuki was having a difficult time dealing with them, and the girls on Zero' side were stiff with fear. Mia is so use to everything in the Cross Academy; everything was like home to her. Headmaster Cross's odd obsession of getting Zero, Yuuki, and herself calling him father, Yuuki's bright lovely smile, the naïve Day class girls, Hanabusa s little flirting now and then, Akatsuki's casual ruffling of her hair, Rima skipping over to her and giving her pocky, the odd glances she got from Ruka, the very abnormal cheerful and enthusiastic behavior from Takuma, & Zero.

Mia enters in her own world when she thought of Zero Kiryu. Zero put on the front that he didn't like anyone and he was a cold person. It was true that Zero didn't really like that many people; he only liked  Mia, Yuuki, Toga Yagari, and sometimes Headmaster Cross. But Mia knew of Zero's kind warm-hearted side, it was rare to see it in public.

'Mia..." Zero said, standing behind her.

"Mia..." Yuuki said too, a little louder. Zero got tired of repeating her name and grabbed Mia's sides and turned her around and yelled.

'MIA!!!" Zero shook her shoulders and yelled in her face, inches from her face.

"Morning Zero!" She beamed her lovely smile that Zero adored.

"Come on you two, Headmaster wants us!" Yuuki yelled at them as she walked in the Academy. Zero looked around for anyone left around outside, then turned back to Mia slightly smirking.  Mia looked at him with a confused look on her face. Zero wrapped his lanky arms around her shoulders and leaned into her. She responded by intertwining her fingers in his hair and pressing her moist lips to his. After a couple seconds they pulled away from each other and Mia looked at him with the same confused look.

'What was that for?" She questioned.

"I didn't get a good morning kiss."

"You seem more happy than usual"

"That's not normal for me?"

"Not really, while not in public, but."

"Are we in public?" Mia looking around her and Zero.
"Not really but..."

"Come on, Headmaster needs us" He said tugging on her hand to the building.

{Fast forward}

After listening to Zero ramble about how he cant stand be a Perfect and how he felt he was being a bodyguards for the Night class, Headmaster Cross went on his lecture of how much he loved Mia, Yuuki and Zero.

"You three are always helping even if you hate it or get tired of it. If I can leave it to my cute son & two loving daughters, my heart will never be troubled by it!" He yelled almost jumping over his desk to them but a loud slam stopped him.

"I know I was raised by you, but I don't remember ever becoming your son!" Zero slammed his fist into the desk, slipping in the middle.

"You pay too much attention to detail, Zero." Headmaster Cross said.

"Oh! I am not a Cross!" Mia added in.

"Zero, Mia calm down!" Yuuki smiled and patted both their heads.

"But anyway, I want Mia & Zero to go to town and find some Level E's that the Vampire Hunters Association sent to me. Yuuki has to stay here on patrol."

"Yes Headmaster." Mia & Yuuki bowed. Zero stood tapping his foot then got hit in the ribs by Mia and sighed in defeat, bowing as well.

{Fast Forward}

Mia walked happily in front of Zero. The warm wind brushed against their faces and they walked in front of the mansion they were sent to. The mansion had beautiful stature even with broken glass windows and the gloomy aura it had around it. Mia lightly pushed the gates open and walked through them as Zero followed. Mia's red hair danced in the wind as the doors to the mansion opened and wind came rushing past the couple.

"Smells old." Mia said, twisting her face in a disgusted form. Zero held in a laugh, but froze as Mia placed her warm hand on his cheek. Zero turned his head towards Mia, seeing her lovely smile and gave her a confused look.

"You should smile more often Zero, & laugh more, it makes you live longer." Mia caressed his cheek and blood rush to his face. She slips her hand into his and forwards up the steps. The cold from Zero's hand seemed to melt as Mia wrapped her warm hand in his. He watched her carefully was she dragged him around the mansion, watched her eyes scan for any unusual activities, the way her body swayed as she walked. Mia stopped when they both approached a wooden door with spider webs over it.

"You open it." Zero nudges her.

"Nah, you're the stronger one!" She poked him and pushed him at the door.

"Fine, I will." He gently pushed open the doors. The room they walked in was a large bedroom with vintage feeling to it. Zero walked to the large window and Mia walked around the room, dragging her finger against the dusty furniture. Mia heard footsteps behind her, thinking it was Zero.

"Whatcha think about this, Zero? Sense any Level E's?"

In return on her question, a growl came behind her and hot breath went down her neck. Mia turned around and saw a tall man with red glowing eyes.

'My, my, what do I have here?" The man said. Both Zero and Mia reached to their weapons but the Level E somehow grabbed both of them and slammed them into the bed and stood over them with a sick grin.

"HAHAH! Two of you? Perfect! I've been starving!" They both felt helpless and without any weapons to protect them. The Level E head to Mia first and she shut her eyes closed and Zero went to grabbed the Level E but the ex- human had a hand tightly around Zero's neck.

"You have to want my boy..."  Zero could only grasped for air and growl at the Level E.

"I want to taste the pretty girl first."

BALM!

The sound of a gun shoot through the room and the Level E fell the ground in piles of dusk. Zero and Mia glanced at each other in relief and smiled as they relax. They looked up and saw Toga Yagari, their teachers and Zero's "master".

"Sensei Toga, what are you doing here?" Mia said, brushing the dusk off of her.

"I am a vampire hunter after all, Mia." He looked at her differently then usual. Zero stood behind her, asking if she is okay and she replied "as always".

'Did Headmaster Cross send you Sensei?" Zero looked at him confused.

"No, I heard you two will be here."

"We could have handle it on our own-OW" Zero rubbed his side at Mia elbowed him.

"Come on you two." The three of them walked outside the old house and walked around the village. Zero walked to a small fruit stand and brought a couple things as Toga & Mia waited for him. Mia noticed Toga looking at her oddly.

"Sensei Toga, if something wrong?"

" Mia, I wanted to ask you, who are your parents?"

"My parents...? Okay my mom was Hanako and my dad was Ryuu. Why?"

Toga stared at her. Mia was going ask him again what was wrong but she stopped as Toga pulled her into an embrace. Mia stood stiff in her teacher's arms.

"Sensei..." She looked up at him confused.

"Mia, I haven't seen you since your were young." Zero stood next to them confused

"What are you talking about Toga?"

"Mia, I'm your uncle." Toga said loud enough for them both to hear. Mia & Zero were wide eyed and speechless.
"Uncle..."

<---------------------------------------------------------->

DUN-DUN-DUN!

Sorry weird I know. I had the thought that Toga could be related to Mia.

Until next time. ByeBye!
