A/N I do not own vampire knight.

Elizabeth froze. This was not good. I mean, it could have been nanyone...or anything. "Come on out and show yourself!" Elizabeth cried. There was no response. Elizabeth's blood ran cold. It was deathly silent. "Please...?" she pleaded to the something or someone who made the noise. Suddenly, a figure made it's way way out of the dark shadows. Elizabeth took a step back as the figure walked towards her. "Who are you?"

"Riji-chan, what are you doing out here?" Kisetsu walked into the moon light. Elizabeth's shoulders slumped.

"Kise-chan, what are you doing here? You scared the living daylights out of me! I thought you were a Level E!" Elizabeth cried. Kisetsu gave her a crooked smile.

"Really? I'm sorry. I followed you here, wondering what you were doing. You could get into a lot of trouble if you come out alone, Riji-chan." Kisetsu said seriously.

"I know, Kise-chan, I'm sorry...and I know that I'm breaking the rules by being out here...I just needed to get out of there for a while." Elizabeth said apologetically. Kisetsu smiled slightly.

"Well, at least there's no harm done. Come on." Kisetsu walked up to Elizabeth and linked her. "Let's go!" they walked back through the crowded streets. They occasionally stopped a stall or two on the way back, not picking up any speed, idly wandering. When they finally reached campus, they were quite fatigued. They skipped towards the Moon Dorm, giggling like little girls.

"We'll probably get into lots of trouble when we get back." Kisetsu giggled. Elizabeth nodded with a smirk.

"Yes, I suppose so." Elizabeth replied. They opened the heavy Moon Dorm doors. It was dark inside the huge parlour. "I hope nobody saw us." Elizabeth whispered. They walked towards the grand staircase and both climbed them until they looked up and realised that they'd been caught, by Kaname no less.

"Kisetsu-san, Watoson-san, what on earth are you doing out at this time of night? You're supposed to be studying since there's no classes tonight!" he said with calm anger. He was glaring at Kisetsu the most. Elizabeth couldn't let Kisetsu take any blame.

"Please, Kuran-dojo, it was my fault. I was the one who was in the wrong. Kisetsu-sama was merely coming to retrieve me. It is I who deserves to be punished and I will gladly take any punishment you give to me." Elizabeth said firmly, leaving no doubt in Kaname's mind of who was truly to blame. Kaname was silent for a long time, holding Elizabeth's adamant gaze. Kisetsu held her breath, wondering what was going to happen.

"As admirable as it was, Kisetsu-san, you should not have gone after her." Kaname said quietly. Kisetsu's eyes met his and frowned.

"Oh? Kaname-san, I'm her friend. What would you have done if I hadn't have gone out to retrieve her? Left her to be killed by a Level E? I wouldn't put it past you." Kisetsu snarled. Kaname glared at her fiercely. "So what do you say to that? What would you do? Would you have gone out after her?"

"Of cause I would have!" Kaname snarled. "What do you take me for?"

"Eh...people...can we get to what my punishment is going to be? I have homework to do before this night is out...so can I get it over and done with?" Elizabeth interrupted. She tightly closed her eyes thinking she was going to get a slap, after witnessing Aidou getting a slap the other day. Kisetsu and Kaname stopped arguing long enough to notice this. Elizabeth opened one eye to see what was going on. They were both looking at her with confused looks. "Well, aren't you going to slap me now like you slap Aidou-sama, Kuran-dojo?"

Kisetsu and Kaname looked at one another and then back at her. "What are you doing, Riji-chan?" Kisetsu asked. Elizabeth opened her eyes fully. She looked up at Kaname.

"No slap?" Elizabeth asked in surprise, "I was preparing myself for a slap." Elizabeth said foolishly. Kaname raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"You're actually asking to be punished? Watoson-san, you are a silly girl." Kaname smirked.

'There he goes again...that smug smile of his...' Elizabeth thought. She clenched her fists. Kaname turned his back on them.

"I'll let you off this time, Girls, but if I catch outside the school again, I will not be so kind." With that, Kaname walked away, not giving them a second glance. Kisetsu's pale face was in shock and so was Elizabeth's. They just stood there, dumbfounded.

"Well...that was lucky." Kisetsu said quietly. Elizabeth nodded dumbly.

"Well, I have homework to complete. I'll see you later." Elizabeth said. Kisetsu nodded and gave Elizabeth a hug.

"See you tomorrow." With that, Elizabeth skipped back to her room. She opened the door and closed it quickly once inside. Kuro looked up at her.

"Where've you been, Riji-sama? I woke up and you were gone." Kuro asked. Elizabeth knelt in front of him.

"I went out...to the town...with Kisetsu...and we got into a spot if trouble for it with the dorm president...but all in all, I'm completely exhausted. The homework can wait. I'll have to get used to staying up all night though. It won't be very good to fall asleep in lessons."

"All right, Riji-sama, good night." Kuro said kindly. Elizabeth stroked his head gently and then stood up, walking over to her bed and collapsing on it, falling into a deep slumber.

The next day, Elizabeth woke up very early. After an hour of trying to resume her peaceful slumber, she got up, had a shower, and got into her uniform. She decided to go and see if Takuma would lend her a book since he told her that she could borrow any of his books anytime she wanted. She knew that in his suite, that he had a living room with a door that separated it from the bedroom so she wouldn't be disturbing anyone. She knocked and opened the door to his suite. It was fairly dark and she turned the lights on. She walked inside and saw that his bedroom door was closed. She sighed a sigh of relief and walked over to his bookshelf and trailed her finger over the different titles of manga. She found some of them were quite hard to read as there were characters which she hadn't ever studied and some where very readable. She pulled one off the shelf and smiled gently. She was about to walk away when she heard a small moan coming from Takuma's room. To her horror, the door wasn't completely closed. The moan she heard was from coming from Kisetsu. She then remembered that they were together as a couple. She clearly saw Takuma, fully clothed, on top of Kisetsu, who was also fully dressed, kissing her intensely, pinning her hands above her head. Elizabeth tore her eyes away, dropped the book and ran for it as fast as she could. She fled down the hall ways to her own room. She opened the door, nearly tearing it off it's hinges and slammed it shut. Kuro nearly jumped out of his skin when the door slammed.

"What happened?" Kuro asked urgently. Elizabeth's cheeks were as red as Kisetsu's red hair. She couldn't speak, she was that embarrassed. She paced for a while and a thousand questions ran through her mind.

"Kuro-kun...I saw Kise-chan and Takuma-kun kissing. I know that I probably shouldn't have seen them doing what they were doing and I tore myself away as soon as I saw them." Elizabeth rambled. Kuro cocked his head to the side.

"If they didn't notice you, which they obviously didn't, then you have nothing to fear. If you keep your mouth closed and blushing under control, then there won't be a problem." Kuro said rationally. Elizabeth thought for a moment and nodded.

"I suppose so..." Elizabeth pondered, "you're really smart for a cat, Kuro-kun. Are you sure that you're a real cat? You seem to have vast knowledge of humans and vampires."

Kuro looked up at her and nodded slightly. "Yes, of course I am. I've just lived a whole lot longer than you is all." Kuro said casually.

"How much longer? I mean...how old are you?" Elizabeth asked.

"Let's just say...I'm older than your parents." Kuro licked his paw. Elizabeth put her hands on her hips.

"How do you know how old my parents are?" Elizabeth asked haughtily.

"I'm 3000 years old." Kuro blurted. Elizabeth fell back in shock.

"3000? You must be like a living corps!" Elizabeth exclaimed. Kuro shook his head.

"No. I'm a vampire cat, remember? A pureblood vampire cat no less." Kuro said triumphantly. Elizabeth sank to her knees.

"A pureblood vampire cat?" Elizabeth asked shakily.

"I thought that you may need some help against Rido."

Elizabeth opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. "Some how, something tells me that I shouldn't be surprised by this...what with me and being a vampire and all..."she croaked. Kuro placed a paw on her knee, trying to keep calm her down.

"You'll get used to it, Riji-sama and I'll help you."

"Thank you, Kuro-kun...you're such a good friend." Elizabeth whispered,

Kuro smiled wryly. 'if only you knew who I really am.' he thought.

"Now, I'm feeling extra tired. I'll see you tonight." she collapsed onto her soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.
