Meeting
Kain sighed. He was, yet again, a victim of circumstance. Why couldn't his cousin just follow orders? He would never know. Now the auburn haired vampire was waiting to hear his punishment. All the while Aido was looking about the room nervously. Their eyes met for a brief moment and then they dared to look at their 'gang leader', as Kain labeled him. Kaname sat behind his desk, his breathing even. He was calm, and Kain new they were in for it.
"Aido, I have heard that once again you have almost revealed the vampire race. You're lucky that Seiren got there in time to do a mind wipe." Kaname glared at the blond youth and he shivered in response.
"I apologise Kaname-sama...I got carried away." Aido stuttered.
"And you will never get carried away again. Understood?" Aido nodded. "Good. As for your punishment, you will be escorting the President of the Vampire's Association here. You will meet them at the first lamp post that marks the beginning of the mansion's grounds. Kain, you are to go with him."
'Well that wasn't bad.' Kain thought letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Of course Kaname-sama! And don't worry we wont let you down." Aido claimed as he walked towards the door. Kain trailed on after his cousin.
"It would be in your best interest that you do." Kaname said in a cold calm tone that chilled Kain's very core. Once they were in the hallway and away from Kaname's office Aido let out a groan.
"I don't want to escort a bunch of murderous Hunters. They'll probably try to attack us and then we'll have to fight back and the whole thing will be a waste of time and a Vampire Hunter." The blond complained.
"No, that wont happen because we wont fight back. Don't be a fool Hanabusa, Kaname-sama will kill you. And, as you like to say, you're to pretty to die." Kain said flatly. Aido huffed, he was too pretty to die. The auburn haired vampire sighed, he seemed to do that a lot around his cousin. "Look lets just do what Kaname-sama has asked and get it over with. The sooner, the better. I'd hate to see what you would after being around Hunters for a long period of time."
"Oh please, don't worry so much Akatsuki. I am in complete control." Aido said cheerfully.
Kain shook his head and mumbled, "Right and I'm in love with a human." The blue eyed vampire turned to look at him, eyebrow raised. Then he snapped his fingers and a look of realization crossed his face.
"So that's why you wont ask Ruka out on a date!" Kain sighed irritably. If Kaname didn't kill Aido, he would.

It was a clear night. The air was crisp with the start of fall. Kain liked nights like these, he found them relaxing. His blond counterpart, on the other hand, was getting pretty annoyed. They had been waiting at the lamp post for almost 15 minutes. No one ever said that patience was a virtue of Aido's and no one in their right mind ever would. Kain sighed watching his cousin pace back and forth.
"Relax, they'll be here any minute." Aido turned on his cousin, a vein visibly popping out of his forehead.
"Akatsuki you said that like 2 minutes ago! Gah! Why do humans have to be so slow!?" Kain smirked, he found the sight of an annoyed Aido quite entertaining.
"Correction, I said that 15 minutes ago. It was only 2 minutes ago that you started to loose your patience. It's funny how your preference of time is lost when your irritated."
"Oh, whatever! I-" Aido stopped talking when he heard footsteps. And in a couple of moments his jaw went agape when he saw the duo before him. Kain turned his head to follow Aido's gaze and was too, quite shocked but kept his indifferent stance. "You're the Vampire Hunter President Kiryu!" The blond exclaimed, completely disregarding the girl walking along side him. Zero looked up to glare at him.
"Don't be stupid vampire, Yori-san is." If it were possible Aido's jaw dropped further. "And close your mouth, it's rude."
"H-how can you be...you're just a pathetic hu-" Kain quickly covered his cousin's mouth to keep him from finishing a most likely rude remark.
"Please follow us." Kain said over his shoulder, while dragging Aido along with him. Yori, expression as blank as ever, nodded and started to follow.
The gears in Kain's brain were turning a mile a minute. A day class girl, who seemed quite familiar- he just couldn't quite place her- had become the most powerful Hunter there is. This told him that either the Association was desperate and falling apart, or that she truly was as powerful as her rank placed her. He also got the feeling that there was something different about her. Not to mention that blank stare, it was almost as disconcerting as Kaname's cold one. 'This girl...isn't normal. Obviously. But why is it that her aurora seems to entice fear in me.?' Kain wondered. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he hadn't noticed Aido violently trying to get out of his grip.
"Kain-sempai I believe that Aido-sempai would like you to release him." The voice woke him from his reverie. He let go of Aido and looked back at the girl. Her voice was soft and light, like wind chimes. So why did it manage to intimidate him?
"So little Wakaba Sayori is now a Hunter? Yuuki-sama is going to get a kick out of this." Aido said with a grin. Kain finally recognised her at his cousin's words. She was Yuuki's friend at school, that's why she seemed so familiar.
"Oh? Will I be seeing Yuuki at this meeting?" The soft voice ask, though it didn't completely hide her excitement.
"Prabably not. Kaname-sama wouldn't want to burden her with such things."
"That's good. So what does she do now a days?"
"Well, she spends most her time being tutored by me." Aido said with evident pride. Yori chuckled, causing both vampires to look at her.
"I'm sure you've gotten far with that." Yori tease and Aido glared at the ground. He hadn't actually, the pureblood couldn't even get a mark above a 75/100.
"Hey you know what-" The blond began but Kain quickly cut him off.
"We're here." He said.
Yori looked at the large oak door, she stifled a sigh. The brown haired girl was filled with dread to the point that she felt it leaking through her pores. 'Okay get a hold of yourself. Everything will be fine...I hope.' With that thought in mind, she made her way inside.
