Kaname is Low, Yuuki is High

The sun was beginning to set over Cross Academy on another long school day. The day classes had just ended and soon it would be time for night classes to start. While the Day Class girls prepared to go hover around the Moon Dorm gates, the Night Class students were doing some preparation of their own for their scheduled dorm inspection.

"Hanabusa, you better not have anything in our room that Kaname will slap you for," Akatsuki said casually in his deep monotone as the two walked down the hallway of the Moon Dorms.

"I don't understand why I should be punished for my admiration..." Aido replied indignantly.

Their conversation dwindled with the sound of approaching footsteps. "Aido, Kain. I expect your room is in order," Kaname stated without inflection. His eery calm always brought with it an ominous feeling and this moment was no different. Akatsuki took a deep breath as he prepared himself to pick up whatever pieces of his cousin would be left if Kaname was displeased with their room. Kaname walked ahead of them and entered the bedroom. Aido and Akatsuki followed.

Upon entering behind Kaname and Aido, Akatsuki quickly surveilled the room for anything that might infuriate the dorm president. He didn't see anything immediately, but when he looked toward Aido's closet he saw some crumpled clothes on the floor. He studied them for a moment before realizing that it was a Day Class uniform. A girl's Day Class uniform.

It was too late. Kaname's eyes were already fixated on the black skirt and jacket, the white shirt, and red tie. Akatsuki took another deep breath for a lack of anything better to do. Kaname turned to Aido and stared at him for a moment with an indecipherable expression before saying "Whose uniform is this on the floor, Aido, and where is she now?"

Aido, having noticed the uniform himself only a moment before, put his hands up in surrender and frantically shook his head. "I have no idea whose uniform that is, Kaname-sama!! I swear I don't know anything about it!!"

Kaname was seconds away from slapping the confusion off Aido's panicked face when a calm voice came from the doorway, "The uniform belongs to that little prefect." The boys' attention shifted to the door where Ruka was standing in the entrance. "I saw her come into the dorms, but I didn't see her again after that." She continued before any of them had a chance to ask, "I figured she was just doing the inspection. I didn't know she and Aido had a thing going," she said with a laugh moving her gaze to Aido. "Leave it to a human to be stupid enough to get mixed up with you." She continued to stare at Aido with a look of satisfaction on her face before looking to see Kaname's reaction. She hoped that prefect's reputation was on the line and that Kaname would end his ridiculous affection for the simple little girl.

Kaname's face was emotionless, but suddenly there was a large crack and Aido, Akatsuki, and Ruka's eyes shifted to the sound. They found the source: Aido's bed frame was caving in on itself, snapping the wooden slats, his mattress exploding in a symphony of tearing fabric and loosening springs. The three surprised vampires looked back at Kaname whose rigid body had not moved an inch. His eyes practically bored holes through Aido's face as he asked, slowly enunciating each word, "Where is Yuuki?" His voice remained controlled and even, but the room was filled with a sense of imminent danger that all three of them could detect. Akatsuki and Ruka stayed frozen in place thinking that if they even took a breath Kaname's wrath might be directed at them. Aido was reduced to a panicked frenzy.

"Kaname-sama, I promise I'm telling the truth! I have not seen Yuuki-cha--I mean, the prefect, today! I mean, I have never seen her at all like that! W-well, definitely not like that, but what I'm trying to say is that there is nothing between me and Yuu--that prefect..." Aido trailed off nervously feeling that he could not save himself.

Kaname, still clearly dissatisfied as evidenced by his deteriorating composure, pressed no further knowing that Aido would've told the truth under his powerful influence. He stormed out, Ruka narrowly dodging him as he exited the bedroom. Kaname hesitated in the hall a moment deliberating. He looked to his left way down the hall to see two suspicious Night Class girls giggling. Upon meeting his threatening gaze they went silent and hurried around the corner out of sight.

Kaname stalked off leaving Ruka, Akatsuki, and Aido free to breathe again. Aido walked to his bed with a look of remorse and horror on his face over its condition. His mouth was gaping as if he wanted to say something, but he was dumbfounded by the pile of sharp wood and metal springs sprinkled with pieces of fluff. Ruka and Akatsuki stood by watching him.

"Think of it as another treasure," Akatsuki said dryly.
