"Aya!" Yuuki's startled cry met her ears as though she was underwater. She kept swallowing, mouthful after mouthful. And Zero didn't even move. He stayed perfectly still, letting her drink his blood while tears continued to pour out of her eyes. His life blood slaked the burning in her throat, and with a muffled cry, she wrenched away from him, curling into a ball.

Zero stood awkwardly, gingerly pressing his fingers to the twin marks in his neck.

Yuuki stood frozen, eyes wide, watching them both.

Blood had dribbled down his collar, and Zero's eyes blazed red. Aya had her hands against her ears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Kaien burst into the infirmary, followed closely by Kaname. Zero tensed, suppressing an animalistic growl that threatened to bubble up in his throat.

One glance at Aya's wilted form and Zero's expression told it all, and Kaien sighed.

"Kaname?" Yuuki said in a small voice. The pureblood covered the distance between them, placing a gentle hand on her head.

He then swept towards Aya, studying the marks on her body.

He made a noise of understanding, turning to face Chairman Cross.

"It is what you assumed. It is very old, very forbidden magic…but your student seems to have activated it, and paid the price. She could be considered a noble."

That said, the regal vampire left the room, taking a shaken Yuuki with him.
