I walked silently behind Yuki and Zero. They led me out of the Sun Dorm and across the campus to the Headmaster Building. I shivered lightly; realizing I probably should have changed into some clothes or put on my Day Class coat at least.

"Why does the Headmaster want to see me?" I asked quietly.

"You already know why." Zero answered, irritated. "And when I was told the information, the reasoning was unmistakable.

"What?"

"A decision is close to being reached." Yuki said softly. "About you." She glanced over her shoulder at me. "You still remember."

I stopped walking. "Yes." It was the first time I'd admitted it. They stopped walking and they turned and looked at me. "I know about vampires, and they ones that exist at this Academy. Or at least that I think exist."

Zero nodded curtly. "You're correct."

Yuki looked serious. "You understand that no one can know." Her question sounded more like a statement.

"Yes." I said, glancing off into the distance, my eyes losing focus. "I haven't told anyone nor would I. I assumed their existence is being kept secret for a reason."

Yuki made a face that looked like a cross between uncertainty and sadness. "It is."

My face probably mirrored hers. "Sorry I remember."

"It's not your fault." She said as she turned away. "Let's go. They're waiting for us."

"How many people are there?" I asked nervously.

"Um, just me, Zero, Kaname-senpai, Headmaster, and... Aido-senpai." She glanced at me to see my reaction.

"Why?" I asked. She knew what I was asking about.

"He insisted." She said uneasily. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine." I said, sounding far away.

The rest of the walk was silent until we got right to the door of the headmaster's office. Yuki knocked and the murmur going on inside fell hushed.

"Come in!" The Headmaster called.

I entered to see the Headmaster sitting tensely, Kaname in a chair, relaxed, and Aido was on his feet. He quickly sat in a chair a few away from Kaname.

Yuki led me to a chair on the far side of the room near the Headmaster's desk. I sat slowly. Yuki sat next to me, and Zero next to her. The Headmaster folded his hands and sighed.

Kaname continued as if he hadn't been interrupted. "Shall I re-present my argument? As Moon Dormitory President and head of the Night Class, I say the safest way to protect my classmates is to put an end to the girl."

I gasped, but cut it off and muffled it in my shirt sleeve.

Everybody looked at me briefly, but back to Kaname, who was looking at the Headmaster.

"I believe she should be trusted until her untrustworthiness can be proven." Headmaster Cross said.

"I stand by my argument." Kaname persisted icily. "Her death is the only way to ensure the secret of the Night Class is preserved."

"Some pacifist you are." Zero growled.

"Kaname-senpai!" Yuki cried, shooting him a look.

"Kisa." Headmaster Cross addressed me kindly, looking at me over the rims of his glasses. "How do you feel about this?"

Ignoring everyone else in the room, I met the Headmaster's eyes briefly, and then drew my knees up to my chest and averted my eyes to them. "It doesn't matter." I said. "Whatever you decide will be fine."

The Headmaster looked at me sadly. Kaname stood.

"Your decision, Headmaster?"

Headmaster Cross paused, light glinting across his glasses. He opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Aido.

"DON'T—" he lowered his voice. "—kill her." He finished more quietly after his initial outburst.

Everyone – including me – looked at him in surprise. He kept looking at the Headmaster.

"It's my fault she found out about vampires." He said. "It would destroy my pride if an innocent was killed because of my actions."

Kaname turned to him. "Aido, are you taking responsibility for this?"

He nodded.

"However responsible you may feel, your actions still require consequences." Kaname said.

"If you harm her, the Vampire Hunters Society would have reason to hunt you." Zero put in thoughtfully. "Not that I'd mind. It'd be a pleasure, Kuran." He smiled at Kaname. Kaname smiled back.

"Zero!" Yuki slapped his shoulder.

"Aido." Headmaster Cross addressed him. "Do you believe the Night Class' secret would be safe if Kisa were allowed to live?"

"I do." He affirmed, still not looking at me.

"If Aido took responsibility for this situation, monitoring it carefully and reporting back to you regularly, would that satisfy you, Kaname?"

"Temporarily." He conceded.

"In the meantime, I am going to try to find another spell to erase Kisa's memories. Okay Kisa?" he looked at me apologetically. "It really is safer if you don't know about vampires."

"I don't really have a choice." I commented. "It's okay."

Kaname vanished from the office and the Headmaster stood.

"Everyone is dismissed."

Yuki and Zero left to go on patrol, and I stood stiffly, stretching briefly, and left the office, hoping to get some sleep before I had to get up to get ready for class.

I was barely 30 steps from the door of the Headmaster's building before my name was called again.

"Matari-san!" I looked briefly behind me to see that it was Aido. I turned and kept walking, hoping he would leave me alone.

A hand suddenly grasped my shoulder and I jumped, whirling around and taking a rapid step back.

His voice was apologetic. "Sorry..." he said quietly. "I didn't mean to frighten you again."

I stared at the ground. "It's okay."

"I wanted to talk to you." He said. "Because something you said back there... it bugged me."

I clasped my hands together behind my back. "Yes?"

"When Chairman Cross asked you how you felt... you said whatever we decided was fine. That it didn't matter." He narrowed his eyes and looked away. "Did you understand what was going on?"

"Yes." I said.

"Did you not care if it was decided that you would be killed?"

I looked up. His teal eyes were looking at me with something I interpreted as concern. The space between his eyebrows was scrunched in concentration. The moonlight illuminated his pale skin slightly, glinting off his eyes in a way that mesmerized me briefly. I blinked twice before I answered. I looked right in his eyes.

"No."

His eyes turned sad. "Why would you not cling to something as precious as life?"

I turned and started walking away. "Maybe I didn't care if it was taken from me."

It took him precisely five seconds for him to recover from this and come after me. He grabbed my wrist and when I tried to pull away he grabbed my other one and pinned them above my head against one of the cement pillars holding a roof over the path to the Day Class Dorm. I looked down and blushed, closing my eyes and gasping lightly.

He looked down at me for a moment, and then up at my wrists and saw that my hands were clenched into fists and shaking. He released me instantly and took a step back, his blonde hair ruffling. "Sorry."

I opened my eyes slowly. "What do you want, Aido-senpai?"

"To know why." He answered honestly. "To know why you just... gave up."

I looked into his eyes, smiling lightly. "My life is not something I treasure."

"It should be." He said, eyes scrunching slightly as if he were confused.

"Well it's already been proven there's something wrong with my head," I said, somewhat jokingly. "So I guess this is just another one of the problems."

He looked at me sadly again. Then he took a step closer, ignoring my flinch and leaning down close to my ear.

"For what it's worth, part of me is glad you haven't forgotten." He breathed in my ear. My cheeks burned. I could almost feel him smiling. "We're not done here. I plan to find out more about you, Kisa Matari."

A breeze ripped through the air, and suddenly I was alone in the night.
