~Sweet Deception~
By: Aerys Krystie.
Theme: AU.
Plot: Zero honestly thought things couldn't get any worse with a new Night Class student. Unfortunately, he has just met the master of indifference and seems to be reliving the same day; the day he dislikes as much as any other day. He can't break the cycle and he knows who's responsible for it. What else can he do except sit back and reveal everything he's ever wanted to?
Warnings: Language, shounen-ai, slight violence. OOC! Oh yeah! OC, too! And randomness!
Disclaimer: Everything of and referring to Vampire Knight is not mine. I make no profit from this story. I only claim rights to my crappy OC.
A/N: This is my first Vampire Knight story. So please forgive me if I get a lot of things wrong. Also, I know that people aren't too crash hot about OCs but I've tried my hardest NOT to make a "Mary Sue/Gary Stu" one. Give him a shot and maybe you'll hate him as much as I do! ^^
"I'm sorry; I wasn't listening."
Kaien's grin got a little more forced as he gazed at the newest hopeful of the Night Class. The person in front of him certainly had no problem speaking their mind and being dull about it, too. There was one good thing about it, though. At least he didn't have to worry about having another Zero on the grounds. On the plus side, at least Zero voiced his anger.
Kaien wasn't sure how Kaname was going to deal with the boy in front of him. At least, Kaien was certain it was a boy. If it was, it was the most feminine boy the Headmaster had ever encountered. And that was including Zero when he was younger. Kaien thought it impolite to ask and decided that Kaname would be able to know the difference. And as though thinking of the vampire was enough, there was a knock at the door and Kaien granted them permission to enter.
"Wonderful! Tsuki-kun, I would lik –"
"I don't care. May I go to my dorm now, Kuran-sama?"
Kaname nodded and glanced at the Chairman that seemed a little upset by the sudden interruption. "Of course. Please follow me. Chairman Cross, I will come back later if you wish to speak."
"Oh that would be excellent, Kaname-sama! I look forward to it!"
Kaname held the door open for the newest arrival to the Night Class. Kaname was familiar with Tsuki and had met the boy before but he never expected Tsuki to attend Cross Academy and was on guard immediately. It wasn't that Kaname didn't trust the boy, but the vampire was aware of his powers of persuasion and the occasional prank. Kaname still had a slight fear of fire.
"Tell me, Kurenai-kun, how have you been?"
"Fine."
Kaname nodded and didn't ask any thing else. It seemed apparent that Tsuki wasn't going to answer anymore of his questions with anything else in depth or even ask any of his own. Reading the boy's mind was like looking at a blank page. There wasn't anything in the conscious mind but the subconscious was hidden and if it was hidden, there was something to be uncovered. Not that Kaname would ever dream of doing anything like that.
Kurenai Tsuki was the most apathetic person Kaname had ever met, next to Seiren. Demon by blood, human by choice. Yes, there were other things that went bump in the night aside from vampires. But just like the vampires, they also had ratings. There were Level Es, all the way up to purebloods, too. Tsuki was a pureblood demon but didn't care about titles and was rarely seen around his parents.
"Why are you here, Kurenai-kun?"
"Something to do."
"Were you summoned?"
"Yes."
Kaname's eyes widened a fraction as he stopped walking. Tsuki went on without him and paused after a few steps. He looked over his shoulder and waited for Kaname to say something or start walking again. He didn't care which.
"Who summoned you?"
"I can't say."
"Have you made a deal with someone at the academy?"
"You know I'm not allowed to disclose information like that. As of right now, you're only allowed what I tell you and all that I'm saying is that I've been summoned here. Plus my parents wanted me out of the house as they were sick of my 'emo cave' trickling down the stairs." Tsuki continued walking, knowing that Kaname was as well.
"That last one I believe."
Tsuki froze and faced Kaname. "Do you wish for me to summon hell here and destroy whatever ideas you and that Headmaster have for peaceful existence between humans and creatures of the night? Or should I just be the demon that I am and hit your weak spot?"
Kaname's eyes flashed red but he knew that if he was to go head-to-head with Tsuki they would cancel each other out. Instead, he kept himself calm. "Don't even joke about that, Kurenai-kun. It took me months to wash the smell of sulfur from my body the last time you took me to hell."
There was a flash of victory in Tsuki's garnet eyes for a nanosecond before the demon turned around and proceeded on to the Moon Dorm. He actually didn't need Kaname to walk him there but figured it would be good to scope out the person in charge of the school. If truth were to be told, Tsuki had no idea why he was there, either. He just went wherever he was summoned.
They went into the Moon Dorm, where the vampires of Kaname's inner circle were waiting. They went into a defensive state when they caught sight of Tsuki's red eyes. Tsuki gazed at them and then turned, going up the stairs to his room. None of them had been the ones that had summoned him so he didn't care about them. He placed his suitcase on the bed and opened it, looking through his clothing.
"Who was that, Kaname-sama?" Aidou asked, staring at the top of the stairs.
"Kurenai Tsuki. It would be in everyone's best interests if no-one annoys him. This is includes talking to him and looking at him."
"What is he?" Ruka couldn't help but demand.
"What I am is a demon, vampire. Has no-one ever told you that it is impolite to ask someone what they are?" Tsuki gazed down at them from the stairs, his brown eyes glancing over the group.
"Didn't you have red eyes before?" Aidou asked, kneeling on the sofa to look at new student better. He really could've sworn he had red eyes. Unless he was seeing things as a side-effect from the blood tablets.
"I have to wear color contacts whenever I will be around humans," Tsuki replied flatly. "Do I need a tour before classes start?"
"Did you want one? I'm sure you would be more than capable of following the remnants of our souls," Kaname said. He was getting a bad feeling about Tsuki being there and more importantly, the demon was being too secretive about why he was there. Usually Tsuki answered all questions fired at him with honesty.
"I guess not."
"In that case, whether you care or not, you may need to call upon these vampires for help, so remember their names." Kaname went around his inner circle, starting with Takuma. Tsuki looked at each of them before his head snapped to the side and he stared out the window at an owl that was perched in a tree. "Is everything okay, Kurenai-kun?"
"I was just wondering if I remembered to turn off the stove before I left."
Aidou and Ruka got a look of indignity on their faces but kept it to themselves. How dare that little punk be so…apathetic when their lord and master were talking to him? Who did he honestly think he was to ignore Kaname-sama so pointedly? It was like having another Zero on the grounds. Only this one didn't hate them. He was worse! He was just indifferent towards them. Suddenly Ruka gasped as what Tsuki said before dawned on her.
"A demon?"
Kaname forced himself not to sigh. "I thought you wanted to keep a low profile, Kurenai-kun?"
"You knew?" everyone chorused and immediately apologized for questioning their soon-to-be king.
"She asked. Besides, who is going to believe her if she is to say that demons exist? Even the male prefect patrolling these grounds would find that hard to believe. Especially when he sees you lot as the demons. It might be fun to toy with him a little." Tsuki walked down the remaining stairs and went to the doors. "Am I getting that tour?"
"Takuma, you're in charge, if you don't mind. I'll show our new guest around." The blond vampire nodded and Kaname joined Tsuki at the doors. He glanced at the brown hair. "Is that a wig?"
"Yes."
"Tell me who summoned you, Tsuki."
"I can't do that, Kaname-kun. You know I can't. Even if it was your sister that brought me here, I can't tell you." There was an almost smirk that ghosted over Tsuki's lips before they went back to a straight line. "It was not Yuuki that summoned me, by the way. You've no need to worry yourself about that. She might be stupid but I don't think she would ever sell her soul."
"So there was a deal that was made?" Kaname frowned. He didn't remember anyone summoning up any sort of evil energy. Not that he thought Tsuki was evil – just his breeding was. Demons were always looking for new ways to collect more souls.
"I never said there was or that there wasn't, Kaname-kun. You should know that there is a double meaning to everything we demons say." Tsuki paused and looked up as a breeze blew through the trees. "Day Class students are heading this way. The beautiful thing about being a demon is that I get to see the future when I desire."
Kaname didn't realize it was that late already. "In that case, we should probably postpone the tour. You don't want to be late for your first night of classes."
Tsuki nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly. Had he been lying when he said that Yuuki wasn't the one to summon him? He could've been. Tsuki wouldn't know who had summoned him until they made an appearance. It would appear that a lot of girls at the school smelt of jasmine and that was going to be annoying.
Tsuki followed Kaname and stopped with the vampire, looking to the left. "There's something else here, Kaname-kun." Tsuki took hold of Kaname's hand. "I think it might be dangerous. Will you be able to protect me tonight?"
Kaname blinked but Tsuki walked on, indifferent once again. Kaname shook his head slightly and stepped through the gates, going up to his room. He told Tsuki that he should have a uniform in his closet and was given a weird look. Kaname ignored it and dressed for classes, going over some documents for his family business before joining the others.
"Tsuki, are there any other demons around that I should know about?" Kaname enquired as he stood in front of the unnatural brunet.
"No," Tsuki replied through a yawn. I really fancy Cheetos. And some chocolate. Isn't Valentine's Day coming up? Tsuki rubbed his eyes, the contacts irritating them.
"Are they annoying you?"
"A little."
Aidou frowned slightly. "Didn't you attend school before coming here? Surely you would've gotten use to wearing them by now."
Tsuki raised his head and stared at Aidou with tears in his eyes. Aidou blinked and went to apologize, something he never does. When he realized that, he quickly snapped his mouth shut and turned his head away defiantly. Tsuki sniffled and eventually Aidou gave up and with a sigh, apologized, even though he had no idea what he could've done wrong. He was just speaking the truth and hissed when Tsuki said he was right.
"Kaname-sama, I do not like him! And I get the feeling he doesn't like me, either! Please tell me he's not in the same class as us!"
"I don't dislike you, Aidou-san. I just don't care. There is a difference." Tsuki looked out the window again. "I think I did leave it on."
"Are you still talking about your stove?" Ruka asked.
"What else would I discuss with Level B vampires?"
Kaname got the feeling that it was going to be a long night if Tsuki kept going. He was pushing all their buttons, even though he hadn't met any of them until that day. He just seemed to know what made them tick and even Ichijou was having a hard time being smiles and happy.
"Actually, Kaname-kun, I might have lied about the other demons."
Kaname looked up and saw two shadows standing behind the vampires. They were immobilized and Kaname growled, both at the shadows and at Tsuki for not warning him earlier. Tsuki stepped to the side and read one of the books he had to take to class. They were Level D demons and Kaname could easily take care of them. The demons taken care of, Tsuki ignored the accusations thrown at him.
"They were only Level Ds. That's like a Level D vampire. When the Level Bs come out to play, I'll pretend to care. How's that?"
Aidou was the first to explode. "You really don't care about us, do you?"
"Isn't that what I just said?" Tsuki asked, turning a page of the book.
"Then why are you here?" the blond model demanded.
"Aidou, I believe that's enough for the questions," Kaname said and went to the doors of the dorm. "It's time for class."
"Who is screaming?" Tsuki asked as he stepped out into the fading light.
"Fan girls," Kaname replied and waited for the gates to open.
"Idol-senpai!"
"Akastuki-senpai!"
Tsuki flinched and covered his ears, glaring at the girls. What the hell was wrong with them? Didn't they know how to lower their voices? Aidou glanced over his shoulder and smirked at the pained look on the demon's face. He waved and greeted the girls, making them squeal even louder. Tsuki gritted his teeth and tried to ignore it. Of course, that was like trying to ignore a nuclear explosion that had gone off next to him.
Tsuki paused for a second. His target was close by; he could smell it. He looked around and his eyes landed on a silver haired teen, which was the male prefect. Why would someone want him to be toyed with? Tsuki wasn't going to question his orders. Someone had summoned him to toy with the prefect for some reason and he would do it. He had a good idea in mind, too. The prefect glared at him. It was going to be a lot of fun.
Tsuki bowed at the boy respectfully, knowing that would annoy him and walked behind the others. Kaname watched with an eyebrow slightly raised. Zero couldn't have been the one that had summoned Tsuki, could he? Kaname seriously doubted it. Zero wasn't stupid enough to summon a demon like the one that was there. Kaname smiled down at Yuuki and thanked her for her hard work. She blushed and normally Kaname would've thought that to be adorable but he had bigger problems to worry about than playing into her fan girl fantasies.
Zero groaned. There was a presence near him but it wasn't Yuuki or a vampire. So thankfully, that meant that it wasn't Kuran. Zero had been avoiding the pureblood for a little bit as he knew his seething bloodlust was about to kick in again. It didn't do much for his already volatile temper, though. Especially when seeing that the damned Night Class had a new monster in their midst. He really had no idea how close he was to the mark on that one.
Cross hadn't said anything to Zero or Yuuki about the new student. So they assumed it was just a need to know basis and Zero could live with that. He didn't have a problem not knowing anything about some new blood sucker that preyed on humans. Again, he was so close to the mark on that one. Unfortunately, Zero was going to learn that sometimes there are scarier things than vampires. At least the only thing a vampire could do was kill your family, kill you or destroy your world.
Zero looked up at the leaves on the tree. They rustled with the breeze. Zero got to his feet and brushed off the uniform. He never did that but he was just buying time until whoever owned that presence made an appearance. Zero was curious as to whom it was, seeing as he hadn't sensed it before. It was almost as though it had appeared out of nowhere. Was that…a flash of white?
Zero had Bloody Rose out and aimed at the person that stood in front of him. Was that the new student? He looked different and it might have something to do with the red eyes and white hair. Zero narrowed his eyes, demanding to know why the student wasn't in class.
"I was bored with it," came the dull reply. "Plus I sensed a Level B in the area."
Zero rolled his eyes. "You were in class with them. Get back to school before I bust a cap in your ass."
"Your adorable little water pistol won't do anything to me, Kiryuu. I'm not a vampire and neither is the thing behind you."
Zero's eyes widened. Why hadn't he sensed that? Were his Hunter skills leaving him the closer he got to Level E? Zero turned around in time to dodge a claw. "Holy shit! That's not a vampire!"
"You don't say." Tsuki held his palm up and the demon turned to dust or glitter; he was never sure about what it was they turned into. They sparkled when they died so it had to be glitter.
"What the fuck was that?" Zero waited for a reply but it seemed he wasn't going to get it. "Fine. Then who are you and what else is a Level B around here?"
"I'm Kurenai Tsuki and there are Level B demons running around. Well, there was only one, so I think we're safe for now. I don't remember opening a portal to hell, though…Hmm…"
Zero frowned. What the hell was that new student taking? Drugs were prohibited unless there was a prescription for them. It just seemed as though the new student didn't give a damn. But to rant on about demons was something Zero never would've expected. "Demons? Are you joking? The only demons that exist around here are the ones in the Night Class."
Tsuki looked up and shrugged. "No, they are only vampires. There are actual demons around, Kiryuu-kun. I would know. I'm a master to most of them."
Zero shook his head. It was too early in the morning to be dealing with that sort of bullshit. "Whatever you say, Kurenai. Just get back to class."
Tsuki shook his head. "No. There is something that I need to do. You may not like it, though. So forgive me if I don't care."
Why did all the freaks find their way to Cross Academy? Wasn't there somewhere else for them to regroup and not annoy Zero? Zero knew that was how it was going to be for a while. He knew he was going to have to deal with shit the moment that vampire destroyed his life. Of course, he didn't realize just how much shit he was going to deal with. And now he had demons to worry about as well? That was the biggest load ever. And yet, for some reason, unbeknownst to himself, Zero couldn't find it in himself to call that bluff.
Zero would give Kurenai one thing: at least he was honest about his indifference towards everyone. It was a little grating but it was something he could deal with. It was the bored red eyes that he couldn't handle. They weren't the same shade as a vampire's bloodlust but they were still red and Zero detested that color, especially when he knew his eyes were like that. And the white hair…Zero didn't like that kid at all. There was something fishy about him.
"I did tell you I'm a demon. Are you that inept that you can't hear correctly?"
Zero gritted his teeth and raised Bloody Rose. He was going to fire a few rounds just to satisfy the craving in him. With a sigh, he remembered that the safety was still on and by the time he had taken it off, he was pinned to the tree he had been resting under. The new kid smelt like jasmine and lavender and it was kind of soothing.
"I know you don't like me, Kiryuu and I don't care what your reasons are. I'm here to do my job just as you are doing yours. Don't fight me."
Zero's eyes widened as Kurenai moved his face in closer to his. Like any self-proclaimed straight man, Zero struggled to get away and defiantly turned his head to the side. He glanced at the vampire or demon or whatever the new kid was meant to be and saw that he was just staring at him like it wasn't worth his time. What job was he talking about, anyway? Was he a spy? Did he work for some illegal science lab and wanted his blood?
"You have an overactive imagination, Kiryuu. No. I am just a demon. Stop being stubborn and let me uphold my end of the deal."
Even when giving orders Kurenai was like Kuran. Zero couldn't but feel they must be related in some distant way with last names that were almost identical, even if there was only a two letter difference. How he did he think of that?
"Hell no, bastard! I don't swing that way!"
"It doesn't matter if you do or don't. As I said before: I don't care. I am only doing what I need to do to complete the deal. The longer you hold out the longer the person who made the deal is stuck in limbo. Do you want to continue doing that to precious Yuuki?"
Was that demon speaking the truth? Zero studied the garnet eyes and couldn't tell. They were dull and bored. Kurenai would be a perfect liar or lawyer. "You have Yuuki?"
"Thank you for the compliment and no, I do not have Yuuki. Just her immortal soul." Tsuki glanced up at the moon. "She is currently rotting in limbo until I can take her to her final resting place. And I'm sure you know where all souls who have made a deal with a demon go."
"You're fucking sick! Let her go!"
"No."
Zero couldn't believe what he was hearing. Would Yuuki actually give up her soul for him, for Zero? He doubted it. Yuuki might tolerate him but there was no way she would give up her chance of having Kaname for him. So, the demon was bluffing about it being Yuuki. With a smirk, Zero focused his eyes on the bored ones in front of him.
"Are you hear to force her into making a deal?"
"No."
"Then why are you here?"
Tsuki was getting a little annoyed of constantly being asked that question but kept his indifference up. "I am here because I was summoned. Someone made a deal. I cannot tell you who. It is part of the deal. We demons do have a set of rules to follow as well, you know."
"I hate you."
"Take a number and wait for your turn to take a swing at me."
Zero frowned and studied the eyes. Again, they showed nothing. "How can you be so dead on the inside? You're like a vampire."
"Have you not being paying attention to our little conversation, Kiryuu? I am a demon and therefore I cannot feel anything. Also, demons came first."
"I'm not going to let you kill me or the person who made the deal."
"That's out of your control. You are merely a vampire hunter. One of the best, I know. You can't stop me from fulfilling a deal, though. Neither can Kaname."
"I didn't realize you were so friendly with that leech."
"He will have his use…in time."
Zero raised an eyebrow. At least as long as the demon was talking he wasn't completing the deal and it gave Zero a little time to think of a way out of it. His fingers twitched on Bloody Rose and the gun was removed from his hand without Kurenai moving. Fucking great! Another freak with telekinetic powers. Why was it always him?
"You must've pissed someone off in a past life. Can we get this over with?"
Zero narrowed his eyes and shifted slightly. He didn't have use of his legs or arms. That only left his head, which used. He cursed when it felt as though he was hitting a brick wall. Kurenai didn't even blink at the attack. He just continued to gaze at Zero and waited for the throbbing in the prefect's head to die off before speaking again.
Five minutes later. "That was perhaps the stupidest thing you've ever done."
"Go to hell!"
"I spend my summers there. You should come sometime. I'm sure my uncle would love to meet you."
"There you are!" Aidou blinked at the position that the demon was in with the Hunter. "Oh…Wow, Kiryuu, I didn't know you were like that."
"What the hell is wrong with you people? I don't swing that way!"
"This position would state otherwise." Tsuki let go of Zero and looked at the vampires. "Can I help you with something?"
"You're going down for speaking trash to our lord and master!" Aidou declared.
"You mean the devil?" Zero asked.
"Actually, we meant Kaname-sam –" Kain began.
"What's the difference?" Zero interjected.
Aidou glared at Zero. "I can see why you two were in that position. A match made in hell."
Tsuki rubbed his eyes. "I don't what is wrong with you, Aidou. Your bipolar is worse than Kiryuu's."
"Fuck you! I don't have bipolar!" Zero growled. "That doesn't count!"
"This is boring. I'm going back to the dorm." Tsuki walked off, leaving an astonished group of vampires behind him.
"Well, that was anti-climatic," Kain murmured, rubbing the base of his neck. He was half-expecting Tsuki to get pissed at them for showing up and wanting a fight. Of course, he might have temporarily forgotten how indifferent towards everything the white haired demon was.
"Yeah. For once we're not after Zero. We should head back before Yuuki shows up to completely destroy all the fun." Aidou sighed and turned, after sticking his tongue out at Zero.
Zero rolled his eyes at that action and turned to return to his patrol, even though he was due to head back in twenty minutes. What the hell had Kurenai meant? What could he need to do in order to fulfill the contract? Why the hell were there demons at Cross Academy? Why would someone summon a demon to do something to him? Why did his head hurt? Well, that last one he knew. Kurenai's skull was probably as thick as Kuran's.
Oh shit! Valentine's Day was the day after the next. Zero rubbed his eyes, trying not to think about it. He couldn't stand the way the girls screamed extra loud for the half-dead bishounen at the school. Plus they all had way too much time on their hands to be making chocolates or going out and buying them. It was going to be murder; he just knew it. If it wasn't him murdering some fan girl then he was going to murder Kuran or Kurenai. Honestly, Zero didn't care which one he killed; as long as he got to kill one of them before his time was up.

End Chapter I.
Um…I have no idea how this story came about. I was just thinking it would be kinda fun to see Zero caught up in a sort of Groundhog Day thing. Erm…please review?
Oh! And don't hate on me because of the OC. If you don't like him or the story, please just click the back button and leave it at that. Can we all be mature about this?
Also, I'm aware that Tsuki Kurenai isn't the best name for an OC but I was too freaking lazy to think of a proper name for him.
