The sight that greets them is nauseating. The scent of the bar is strong, the laughter loud. He knows he's being recognized by some of the vampires, drawing attention, but right now that is the furthest thing on his mind. The first thing on his mind is currently her, and what she's doing to Kaname by doing... this.
"You already have Kaname-sama, and yet..." Aidou's voice is cold as his eyes narrow at Eiri who is sitting at a bar, having been hanging all over another vampire, the man's fang marks in her wrist.
Eiri's eyes shift to Aidou, and she blinks. "Aidou-senpai, what are you even doing here?" she raises an eyebrow before her eyes shift to behind Aidou, taking note of the blondes cousins lingering at the entrance of the bar. "Actually, what are all of you doing here? Can't say I ever thought I'd see any of you here?" she snorts.
Rather than respond to the question, Aidou grabs Eiri's bleeding wrist a bit harder than necessary, and starts to drag her off, away from the other vampire. "Do not waste your blood on anyone other than Kaname-sama, Kuriou-sama," Aidou grits out as he yanks off his tie, starting to wrap it around the bleeding wrist.
"Don't call me that," Eiri rolls her eyes "And besides, what I do is none of your business, is it?"
The air chills around them and Eiri winces as she can feel ice starting to form on her wrist, the sensation cold enough to burn.
"You know, Kuran-senpai likes what I do with my hands. I don't think he'll like it if I lose one to frost bite," she grits out, narrowing her eyes at Aidou.
Judging from the way Aidou's eyes narrow it's obviously the wrong thing to say, but effective enough for the ice to disappear. Kaname won't be happy with him if he harms this girl, he knows that much.
"Let's go," He says icily as he steps out of the seedy bar, still dragging Eiri behind him by the wrist. The scent of blood is strong in the air, and it is merely the thought of what Kaname would do to him if he'd bite her, that makes him refrain from simply licking the blood up, rather than let it stain his tie, no matter how good it smells. He nods at Ruka and Kain upon passing them, as he starts to walk back in long strides, barely remembering that the girl's shorter legs need to keep up with him.

Ruka is glad when they leave the bar; even though she didn't enter it, it smelled extremely unpleasant. Her eyes are on the back of Eiri's head as she walks after Aidou, Kain next to her, quiet as always. He'd been towering over her slightly as they'd waited, protecting her from drunken leers.
Ruka honestly doesn't get what Kaname sees in the girl. While it's painful to admit, even Yuuki would be a better match for the pureblood prince, loathe as Ruka is to admit it. At least the petite brunette was merely stuck between two guys, one of them being Kaname himself. On the other hand, this girl is just messing with Kaname in whatever way she deems fit and everyone knows it.
Her thoughts trail to another person that she'd known who had been caught up in this girl's web, but Ruka forces the thought out of her mind. This is hardly the time to feel sorry for her half-brother, isn't it?
She doesn't even like him anyway.
Her thoughts are forced back to Eiri. She'd never thought that she'd ever have a chance with Kaname herself, barely even dared to dream of it, but surely, surely, she would be a better fit for him than this person...?
So why then is it that Kaname, who had been staring out of the window with a vacantly longing expression for the entire duration of class, is so hung up on this human girl...?
Ruka sighs softly, drawing the attention of the tall male next to her, even though she doesn't seem to realize this. Maybe she'd have had a better shot at being with Kaname if she'd been born a human? Because judging from the only two girls the pureblood has actually shown interest in, Ruka is forced to admit that it's obvious that's where Kaname's interest lies, regretfully enough.

The smile on Takuma's lips is deceptively even as he glances at Kaname. "It appears that Eiri-chan has returned, Kaname," he says, feeling Aidou, Ruka and Kain return, and catching a whiff of blood. He is fully aware that Kaname likely knew about this well before he had known.
"So it seems..." Kaname's voice is absentminded as he leans against the wall next to the window, his eyes overlooking the impeccable view his room grants him of the academy grounds.
Takuma's eyes stay on Kaname for a few seconds before he clears his throat, breaking the silence as he taps the small pile of paperwork he placed on Kaname's desk. "I'll leave this here, Kaname,"
Kaname nods. "Thank you, Ichijo," he says before forcing his eyes away from the window with a quiet sigh. He can smell her blood, has been able to smell it for quite some time now. How many times has he implied his dislike for the girl's actions now? Too many to count, that's for sure. And yet, she never heeds his words...
If only she would be a bit more like Yuuki - his sweet, darling Yuuki who had been snatched away from him by a certain silver haired hunter. However, if Eiri had indeed been more like Yuuki, Kaname doubts he'd be in this painful situation from the start. If Eiri had been even a bit less Eiri, then Kaname wouldn't even have given her the time of his day, even after she'd comforted him after the painful rejection from the girl he'd cherished since she'd been born.
If Eiri had been any different, then Kaname wouldn't be able to feel even the slightest sliver of happiness ever again.

Takuma quietly leaves the study. He can't say he's fond of Kaname's current object of desire. It's not even that he dislikes Eiri on a personal level; he could honestly care less about what kind of things the girl is up to in her spare time, as long as it doesn't cause the school trouble. However, he strongly dislikes what she knowingly puts Kaname through.
It is strangely obvious that Kaname considers Eiri dear to him; unlike with Yuuki, which had been a quiet, gentle cherishing love, Kaname's feelings for Eiri are fiercer, more carnal, more vampiric, and this time he does nothing to hide them. Eiri doesn't shun away from Kaname's vampiric nature as Yuuki was prone to do, she doesn't expect Kaname to be a fairytale prince minus the white horse (good thing too, since said horse prefers the white knight, rather than the black king). Eiri expects Kaname to be Kaname, and Kaname revels in that.
It's not like Takuma can't understand why Kaname would fall for someone who accepts him; doesn't everyone want to be accepted? To be held, no matter what they'd done? But is it really so much to ask if Kaname can possibly want to be held by someone who doesn't hold others at the same time?
Takuma sighs. One of these days Kaname is going to snap and go on a massacre, he just knows it. Maybe he should stock up on manga in case he'll need to hide... Of course, he can't forget to bring Shiki and Rima when the need for hiding comes. He wonders how long pocky will hold out...?

Random snippets set one~! =D
I had actually considered to write a regular fic, with Kaname and Eiri meeting, and then going on from there, but I thought against it. Might change my mind at a later date, but eh, for now this is it.
