I don't own Vampire Knight or the plotline. I only own Cortland, Sarah, Viola.

"Dinner with the Crosses"

,,,,,,,,,,

A chilling purple mist swallowed the sleepy town near cross academy as a hunter shifted through the empty alleyways. His mission HAD been to expunge a level E that was roaming the streets, but when the hunter arrived all he could find was ashes. A large pile of his prey. That pissed him off, didn't the other hunters know who's prey that was. Crouching down he moved his long hair out of the way and took a fist of glittering ash. 

"Who the hell?.." His eyebrows mushed together in confusion as it fell through his slim finger, sparkling as the wind carried the dust away. Standing up he walked out of the alleyway and looked towards gates up a large hill. Cross academy. 

-With the Cross 'family'-

"My original creations! Liver with fried veggies, stewed green veg, with meat, minced fish. And many others! So, how is it? Nice?" Headmaster Cross clicked his chopsticks together waiting for praise. 

It was clear no one was in the mood for talking as the silence continued.

 The headmaster gave a defeated look.

"It's such a rare occasion for us to all eat together. I worked so hard to make these dishes! Mother is so sad." Cross sulked in his chair. Yuki made an unbelieving face as she whispered to Zero and Viola.

"Even though he keeps saying my original creations, this is too good to be true." Zero agreed before his face twisted, rather annoyed. 

"Didn't I tell you not to count me as a part of this family!", 

"I think he made us the same thing last week as well.." Viola pointed out. 

The three continued to throw out comments as the headmaster picked himself up. He took a deep breath "Well at least you're all eating." After a while of blissful banter, Cross finally asked a question that had been on his mind... 

"So... something happened when you all were in town today... yes?" The three quickly silenced their eating.

"When you came back Yuki and Viola had gotten hurt.." 

Yuki thought back as the headmaster interrogated Viola. When they had been heading back to the dorm her curiosity had seeped through and she had asked Ichijo. 

"Why did you help us? Who gave you authority to go off of campus?" Ichijo had looked over his shoulder at Yuki. 

"Why we took care of that vampire? If you want to know, come over to the moon dorm.". 

Yuki remembered she had hesitated "Don't you want to know the detail?". Yuki stared wide eyes at the table "These injuries are.." Yuki looked over at zero and Viola as if she was asking them if she should tell cross. 'Zero and Viola look like they won't be telling headmaster... So should I?' Yuki thought. 

"It was-"

-"Oh yes! I almost forgot this!" Headmaster Cross fumbled around in his pocket and he took out a small black pill box with a red rose on it. 

"You're almost finished those that you had, is that right?" Zero eyes the pill box warily. "Blood tablets." Zero stated once he saw Yuki look at them in confusion. 

Her eyes widened in understanding. 

"Oh.."

Yuki continued to eye the pill box again but continued eating. 

Zero rolled his eyes. "Don't be so creeped out, from now on this will become a daily thing." Zero pointed out before continuing to eat. 

'Zero should be the one creeped out..' Viola thought. 

"Why are you wearing such expressions! Haha. Even though these tablets are for restraining blood thirst, it's actually similar to eating meals. That way Zero doesn't need living blood." The headmaster waved it off as he continued laughing in the awkwardness. 

Viola and Yuki jolted in surprise as zero's chair scraped across the floor.

"Shut up!" Zero glared menacingly at Cross who had raised his arms in defense.

"Calm down! You should think positively Zero-kun!!". 

Zero growled again.

'You should know better to say that headmaster.' Yuki thought and continued in her own thoughts 'because he knows all about zero. About zero... about vampires... from now on I would also like to know more.'. 

Viola gave Yuki a worried glance as she ate, Yuki haven't acted like this in a while.

As the night drew on and the sound of snaps (probably the headmaster being hurt by zero!) echoed around the headmaster's private living quarters, Viola had resided back to Sarah and her own dorm to settle down for the night. Right after dinner, Yuki and zero left in a big rush. "Yuki is probably headed off to see Ichijo as he asked her too." Viola said to herself. It was late at night but as Viola changed into her town clothes she only had one thing in mind. Why was Sarah in town? Why did she help me? "I guess I can go ask her..".

This was a filler I guess. I'll update when I can but it's not looking great...
