A/N: Sorry it took so long to update! I was very busy, and was dispirited at VK's ending; it was such muse killer! Anyway, I promised to finish this story soon, maybe…

Chapter 2: Another mysteriously scary case to solve

"What's that, chairman? Stop teasing us!" Yuuki whispered impatiently, affected by her foster-father sudden seriousness.

"Wait til I find my allergy drug. I can't tell you a proper story in this state,' said the chairman while he was going through the mess in his drawers. The other three could not help but exchanging their usual annoyed glances, and Yuuki secretly counting until Zero finally burst out and once again attempted out of here, while the chairman, innocently unaware of all, went on babbling, "I've never been allergic during this time of the year. During the spring, maybe, but not when it's freezing like right now. Ah, here it is! And I'll tell you, my dear children, I'm only allergic to a few things like nuts or pollen or strawberries. Ah, eggs too! And recently I found out that animal-"

"And you told me to stay here and listen to this idiot's twaddle?!" 'And here we go', thought Yuuki, having problems with suppressing her smile, and reaching to grab her childhood friend's arm, "Come on Zero. Only a minute longer! Be a good boy and I'll buy you an ice-cream later!"

Zero suddenly felt his annoyance redirected to some one else as he swiftly turned his attention to the girl, "You say what? I'm not your pet! And hey, aren't you always the one to eat all the ice-cream! I hate it!"

Paying no heed to Zero's usual outburst, Kaname calmly interrupted, "I do think there's something interesting in the chairman's talks. I'll assume you found it too, Kiryuu-kun? Judging by your recent reaction?"

While Yuuki stood still, confusion slearly shown on her face, Zero glared at the pureblood, feeling the familiar creeps from the self-satisfied smirk the other boy gave and he almost growled in anger.

"What do you mean, pureblood?"

"Nothing," Zero's reaction only served to widen the smirk on the pureblood's smirk, and he casually continue," Can you please go back to our previous subject, chairman? As much as I'm interested in your background information concerning your well-being, I am far more intrigued by your story. Though it was apparent," another glance was cast at Zero, and Kaname deliberately raised his voice, "that some one has already known what you intended to tell us."

This time, Zero fought to stay silent when the chairman cheerfully continued.

"Thank you, Kaname-kun. This is about last night, when I woke up at the middle of the night upon hearing a strange sound downstairs. Bewildered at first, but being the brave man I am," the chairman coolly ignored Zero's scornful snorts and Yuuki's hardly stifled laughter, "I decided to go down there to find out what happened. You guys guess what? I saw the door wide open! And no one else was around!"

The chairman paused briefly for effects, and he got his reward when Yuuki screamed out in fear and soon then found reassurance in Kaname's arms, when Zero just snorted.

"Don't worry Yuuki. Whatever that creepy creature is, I will protect you. Don't you trust in your fearsomely great vampire?" Kaname said an amused smile flickered on his lips.

"I can kill your so called great vampire in a matter of second. Wanna try?"

"At least acting a bit scared, you boys! Follow my cute little daughter's perfect example!" said the chairman indignantly, which was received with a sigh from Zero.

"Sure, chairman," said Kaname obediently, as he tried to straightened himself up in acting seriousness, and the pureblood continued in a monotonous tone, one normally used in boring speeches he had to listen to almost everyday "That was indeed scary, Yuuki. This dangerous creature may be able to defeat even the fearsomely great vampire. What are we supposed to do now?"

"Good boy, but you need more practice. 2 point out of 10. And zero point for Zero-kun, for I hate your attitude, and that suited your name very well."

Satisfied with the sight of Zero almost exploded with rage, the chairman joyfully went on.

"Where was I? Ah right. I was extremely terrified at that point, but I managed to go outside to search for the intruder. And I did catch a glimpse of it; in the complete darkness, that creature's eyes shone with a bright green color. They look like they don't belong in this world, for they have an almost demonic light like… like werewolves' eyes! Werewolves are attacking our academy! Kaname, you must tell all the vampires to be careful! This must be a dangerous creature with a deep rooted desire to take revenge on the vampire race!"

"Werewolves don't exist, and you know it," Zero sighed in frustration.

"How do you know? If vampires exist, then werewolves should be too!" The chairman protested.

Kaname, who had been silently observing Zero's expressions during the chairman's narrative, suddenly said.

"I know that creature."

It was like a bomb had exploded in the room. All the other three immediately turned to him, and all the voices burst out.

"You knew?"

"Really, Kaname-sama? What's that?"

"That's a werewolf right? I knew the vampires have lied to us human!"

Kaname calmly raised a hand to stop all the questions, a light of mischief glittering in his eyes when he held the gaze of the first person who had asked him.

"You'll know, all in due time," the usual smirk back on his lips, Kaname said directly to the other boy who was looking at him with obvious displeasure, "Right, Kiryuu-kun?"

"Wait Kaname!" The chairman called after him when he saw the vampire turning on his heel to leave, "You won't tell me what it is?"

"I think it was pretty apparent. Besides, it'll be more fun if you figure it out on your own. Bye, Yuuki," the pureblood turned his attention to his girl, a bright smile lightening his handsome face, "I truly hope to see you soon. Maybe tomorrow, if I can manage."

"Bye Kaname-sama," the girl automatically smiled in reply. The sudden departure of her Kaname quite saddened her, but his promise instantly cheered her up, "See you…"

When the door finally closed behind Kaname's back, Kaien abruptly turned to his foster-daughter.

"Prepare yourself, daughter. It's quite late now, so tomorrow we will start the investigation."

"How?" Yuuki asked excitedly, to Zero's utter dismay.

"What the-"

"We will stay up all night and we shall not rest or sleep until that werewolf comes and we got it under arrest."
