"Kaname…", the blonde, tall vampire was standing at the aisle, should he knock? Well that was hopeless as he knew that he knew. Again, despite the puzzling nature of this question, he did knock.

"Come in…". He sounded deep, like he had been summoned from a distant dream. Takuma noticed that.

"I brought you the records of the school, all new participants are listed here…", Takuma with gentle gestures, been as quiet as he could have been, left the papers at the old desk and then softly returned his gaze on Kaname Kuran. Some things never change…he was still there lying at the sofa, tranquil as always with the aura of the tamed power which Takuma knew so well. "Do you need anything else?" "No, leave me and thank you", kaname politely just said.

Takuma took some steps behind, slightly bowing as a "goodbye" and exited the office of the Night Class President with a sign of discomfort on his face.

"How long is this going to last?", he was thinking to himself…"ten years have passed, aren't they enough Kaname?"

With a heart that dripped pure concern he approached to his dorm. He wished there could be an exit for his friend out of this routine, this life that had no colors, taste, smell, desires. Sometimes Kaname would disappear for days and nights. Had it not been for the old "guardians", himself, Ruka, Aido and Shiki, no one would even remember that at this dorm the most powerful vampire of all existed; the ancestor caught in an endless realm of time, hanging from a thin line, so thin indeed that Takuma was scared even to try and swing it.

For the kind of man that Kaname Kuran was, perhaps there was no turning back from this oblivion, for he had lived too much and had lost so many and he had been born again only to find defeat. He had restored peace and safety but there was something or someone he had given as an exchange; and she had taken his reason for life with her…

Now it is too late to change anything; the very fact that he is alive for this world to sleep in sweetness is just another miracle that Takuma hopes to last long enough. But as I mention it, sometimes, like this one, Takuma believes that he is asking too many miracles to happen.

This is not the case of course with Aido, no, not at all, because Aido, as you might know already is a natural believer and not only a believer but a match maker as well…so hard has he tried in the past few years to hook up Kaname with good girls, vampire girls to be specific, from aristocratic families and all virgins of course (and do not ask the narrator of this story how he knows, he knows). But nothing…and far more than this no appreciation from Kaname's part. The last time that Aido brought a home-schooled girl at the academy for some tea and acquaintance with the academy ground's (just in case she liked Kaname and decided to join them), Kaname did not even come to the table. He should have been expecting it, but this is Aido…he is a believer.

And so, as a matter of fact he has made his list of girls while going through his agendas and has already scheduled to bring over up to 30 girls, hoping that even by pure luck, Kaname may see…just one of them? It does not matter, hope dies last…and there is also another one that believes it, if you can guess who this is…

Yes, Ruka. She is with Akatsuki of course, but she is still concerned with Kaname's happiness. As the time goes by she tends to worry more. She is afraid one day Kain will come to her and tell her that Kaname has left her a note, thanking her personally for all the good things that she brought to his life and the way she always attended him but he should go to an eternal sleep for now…for there was nothing left for him to seek anymore. And just as she is delving into these desperate thoughts, there is a distant hunch knocking her conscience's door, that this can not be the end…no history, neither life can be so cruel to him; there has to be a reward, somewhere…
