A/N. I'm so sorry it's so late!! I really tried to make it good enough! I know it's a short fic... But I'm done for a while now. I've got exams and other crap at school, and as much as I love it on here, grades come first. Again, sorry it's late!

POV: Kain

The Prefect's fangs sunk into the pureblood's flesh, causing him to gasp, and clutch at Kiryu's shirt. After a minute of panting and gasping, the Prefect released the pureblood's neck. He wiped the twin trails of blood off of his chin with his black academy uniform sleeve.

The Bloody Rose gun gave a 'click' as Kiryu took it off of safety. It then gave a 'bang' as it hit the pureblood smack bang in the chest.

I pushed myself up against the wall, next to Ruka. She grasped my arm, not saying anything, or breathing. Come to think of it, it didn't look like she was moving at all, other than digging her sharp fingernails into my arm. A single tear slid down her cheek, and I pulled her against me. She buried her head in my shoulder, and started shaking. Soon, my whole sleeve was wet with her tears. Her crying slowed, and soon, we were the only ones left in the room.

The pureblood's body had shattered into millions of sparkling pieces, and all that remained of him was dust. I nudged Ruka, and tried to pull her up, failing. She'd fallen asleep.

I picked her up, and carried her bridal style back to the academy. She was breathing heavily, occasionally murmuring something about someone named Rido into my chest. The name was familiar, but I just couldn't tell where I'd heard it from.

I put Ruka to bed when we finally made it back. It was still dark, but dawn was approaching.

I went to find Aidou, but instead found Takuma and Shiki. They were standing next to the entrance of the moon dorm.

"Have you seen Aidou?" I asked, making my way over to them.

"He just left... I mean, he ran. I don't know where he went." Takuma answered, not moving his gaze from the door.

"Damn. He's so inconvenient sometimes. Hey, have either of you two ever heard anything about a Rido? Ruka was talking in her sleep, and she kept saying that name... It's just a little weird, I swear I know that name from somewhere. It keeps nagging at me like–" Shiki was staring at me, his blue eyes frozen. He wasn't breathing either. "What? Do you know that name?"

"Rido... He's my father... He's a pure–" Shiki paused, as if he was unable to finish. His hands were balled into fists, so tight that his knuckles were turning white.

"Pureblood?" Takuma questioned, looking directly into Shiki's eyes. Shiki nodded, his face tenser than I ever thought it could be.

"I'm going back up to Ruka." I sighed. It looked like this was all still going down hill.

POV: Ruka.

I grasped the sheets into my fists, and started to sob. A big, warm hand moved a strand of hair out of my eyes, revealing a friendly face.

"I've been waiting for you to wake up." he said quietly, almost a whisper. But it wasn't his voice.

"Shiki? What are you doing in here?" I asked, in my half asleep state.

"You were talking about Rido. How do you know him?" he said bluntly. It took me a while to remember, but my eyes widened as soon as I did. I tried to tell Shiki and Kain everything I knew, but all that came out was "Yesterday... And Kaname-sama! Rido was there... And then he wasn't–"

"What do you mean he was there and then he wasn't?" Shiki asked, appearing bored, but the worried glint in his eyes gave him away.

"Kaname-sama was talking to Rido yesterday... I was eavesdropping, and they heard me outside, and they took me inside... Then Kain found me, and Rido wasn't there anymore."

"I know what happened now – if any vampire that awakens another vampire dies, then so does the vampire that was awakened. They cancel each other out. It goes both ways, so, if the vampire who was awakened dies, then the vampire that awakened them dies. It's an unbreakable bond." said Takuma.

"So Rido's dead? He's finally gone?" Shiki asked, hopefully.

"Yeah, so it seems. Let's go Senri." Takuma and Shiki stepped out of the room and carried on down the corridor, leaving me and Kain alone.

For five minutes, we stayed silent.

Kain went to walk out of the door. "Akatsuki, please, don't go." I cried.

"Okay," he said, sitting down on my bed next to me, stroking my hair like I was a little girl again.

I looked up at him, and his hand slid around my waist; tighter, tighter, almost waiting for me to object.

I didn't.

I was sure now.

This was what I wanted.

Kain was what I wanted.

While his hand was still creeping around my waist, I shifted slightly, so I could get a better view of his face. He looked into my eyes, and I gently – almost hesitantly – placed my hand on his broad shoulder. He dipped his head, going in for a light kiss, his lips smiling against mine when I didn't object. He pulled back, reluctantly. "Fool, why did you do that? Pulling away." I tutted at him mockingly.

"Sorry," he smirked, and went in again. He was still being soft and gentle, but a little more playful. He gently opened his mouth, and his tongue traced the outside of my top lip. I giggled, and then eventually that turned into a full blown laughing fit. He started laughing too, not because there was something funny – only my utter hysteria.

"Kain," I smiled softly at him.

"Yes?"

"I love you." I told him. It was true, I did. I knew that now.

"I love you, too."

POV: Kain

"Turns out the killing of the girl was just a rouge level E." Ruka explained, while I played with her hair. It had been three weeks since she told me she loved me.

"What did the Chairman say?"

"He hunted him down... The entire day class has had to have their memory wiped... The girls family, too. It's really sad they had to wipe out her existence."

"Yeah," I mumbled, "It is,"

Ruka kissed me softly one last time, before going into her room.

"Night," she murmured, smiling softly.

"Sleep well," I answered back.
