Chapter two: "Her Identity Revealed"
The dim candle light of the Moon Dorms flickered and danced six vampires out of all ten people in the room shared the same expression: confusion.
"…Huh? What's a Moon Synchronizer?" Shiki Senri asked. Since he was the second youngest out of all of them, his vampire knowledge was naturally a little short than the rest of them. But even Ichijou, Aidou or Ruka didn't know….so what the hell was a Moon Synchronizer?
Kain hardly showed any ferocious expressions on his face despite his looks, but he finally snapped.
"DAMN! You guys are so friggin' CLUELESS," Kain yelled. "Headmaster, could you PLEASE explain? Their ignorance is so IRRITATING," he said in a strained voice.
"Moon Synchronizers are a special race of vampires," Cross began. "Actually, they're more commonly known as 'semi-vampires' because they possess incredible powers almost equivalent to purebloods and unique abilities, but don't drink blood survive. Even if they could, Moon Synchronizers don't drink blood at all. The purity of their blood is determined by if one has consumed come else's blood or not; so if a Moon Synchronizer who has never drunken blood before are like purebloods in the actual vampire race."
"A Moon Synchronizer's job is to provide blood. They're born servants to noble class and pureblood vampires. Moon Synchronizer blood is very powerful and doesn't bond with the vampire drinking it, hence the name 'synchronizer'." Cross looked at the vampire listening intently. "Tsuki is a Moon Synchronizer," he explained.
"So what's that symbol on her neck?" Rima pointed at the odd, faint design imprinted on Tsuki's neck.
"Moon Synchronizer distinguish themselves by performing a special seal when a new one is born. First that seal on their neck, the 'power seal' and on their foreheads, the 'crescent moon seal'. All Moon Synchronizers inherit silver or black hair, green or purple eyes and elegant bodies. It's easy to recognize one," the Headmaster replied.
"Then…" Shiki's voice was cut off by Ichijou.
"Not now, Shiki," Kaname said to the brown-haired noble. "Let's let the Headmaster explain this another day, it's starting to get bright out." Indeed, the sun was slightly visible through the window and sheens of dull pink, purple and orange painted the sky. "Let them rest for the day; Headmaster still has a lot to say to Yuuki and Kiryuu-kun."
Cross Kaien nodded and thanked Kaname. He picked up the unconscious pale body of the silver-haired girl into his arms. Kaname appeared at the door before Cross would reach it, holding it open for the Headmaster to leave without any difficulties. Bidding them all goodbye, Cross stepped outside, cool morning dew slightly dampening his shoes as he walked swiftly across the lawn while the Moon Dorms shrank into the distance. He looked at Tsuki, brushing her bangs away to reveal the Crescent Moon seal.
"There's still more to explain, eh?" he whispered. "Not more…Lot's more."
