Hey guys! I was supposed to post this a few days ago, but my account was having problems. Anyways, it's all fixed now! Yay! Enjoy ^_^

Chapter 10 – Clues - Kaname's POV

"Can you stop FUCKING SMIRKING at me like that?"

I couldn't stop my chuckle as my husband stomped angrily into the Moon Dorms ahead of me, heading straight for the kitchen I presumed. I glanced over my shoulder and noticed that Krysa was nowhere in sight, but quickly shrugged it off. I entered the dorms, peeling my coat off as I murmured hellos to the awaiting Night Class. Takuma approached me with a rather tense look on his face, which made me frown as he leaned over and whispered something in my ear.

"We've finally found some information on Yuki-sama... You and Zero-sama may want to hear it..."

My eyes widened slightly as I stared at him, before I mumbled my response just as quietly; he headed to the stairs whilst I walked rather quickly towards the kitchen. I found Zero begging the chef to create another one of his craving concoctions, and I couldn't help but smile at Zero and the small bump now visible on his stomach. I was a bit hesitant about interrupting, but knew he would forgive me once he knew my reasons why.

"Zero, I need you, there's something important we need to discuss," He turned towards me, opening his mouth to protest, but fell silent once he noticed the serious look on my face. He stretched his hand towards mine and let himself be dragged out of the kitchen, calling back one final time to our chef.

"Remember! Deep fried squid, king prawns and crab sticks in Thai Green Curry, on a bed of salsa ships, mozzarella, guacamole and strawberry ice cream! And chocolate sauce on top! Lots please! Thank you!"

I held in a grimace at his selection of food, blaming it all on his cravings as I headed out of the kitchen, and up the stairs towards my room.

"Kaname... what's happened?" He asked quietly as we continued towards my room, where I knew that Takuma and a few close others would be waiting in the office like setting.

"Takuma has found out some news on Yuki's disappearance" I said quietly, stopping when I felt Zero's hand tense in mine. I turned to him, looking into his lilac eyes that now shone with worry, "Don't worry, everything's going to be fine. You and the baby won't be harmed – I'll never let the happen, I promise" I cupped his face in my hands and pressed a chaste kiss to his lips, feeling his sigh against my lips before I pulled away.

"I know, but..." I heard the worry still lingering in his voice, and took his hand again.

"Trust me, Zero,"

-Zero's POV-

The large doors to our shared room swung open, and I found Takuma, Aidou, Ruka, Rima, Kain, Shiki and Seiren all waiting for us, spread around the room – but still no sign of Krysa.

That really bothered me for some reason.

We moved towards the large, overly-extravagant single chair closest to the window, and I was guided down into it as Kaname balanced on the armrest.

"Takuma, explain"

"Of course Kaname-sama," He lifted a clip board and flipped the first few pages before he began, "As you know, there were quite a few security cameras set up all over the apartment Yuki-sama was staying in. When checking these cameras, there were three main clues which we uncovered on her disappearance. One being about the dysfunctional cameras; it seems that over the time period of two weeks, all of the cameras have been deactivated, leaving only the working cameras in the living room, bedroom and bathroom. Whoever it was had been planning this in advance, and had some sort of allegiance with or power over the vampires who were supposed to be working under you to protect the princess."

Kaname's tensed ever so slightly, and I reached over to intertwine our fingers, hoping to God he would stay calm and not notice my own trembling hands.

"Secondly, two of those three cameras were deactivated between 8:30-8:50pm, meaning that this is the time that Yuki-sama was most likely attacked. This also proved that whoever this was had accomplices – people on the inside who could keep guard whilst the other went about capturing Yuki-sama. Finally, when the apartment was first inspected all the camera films had been completely erased, but this was found when we revisited the sight two days ago"

Takuma pulled out a CD, and moved away from the wall he was leaning against, to slip it into the DVD player of the screen in the office. It was a shot from the camera hidden in what seemed to be a mirror inside of the bathroom. We all watched in silence, as the man seemingly appeared out of nowhere and everyone (except Kaname and Takuma's) jaws hung in shock as they looked upon him, the sound of his voice confirming our thoughts as he spoke to Yuki. I felt my heart stop, and this time it was Kaname squeezing my hand in reassurance. Eventually the screen went black, and Takuma turned towards me expectantly.

"But... that's impossible..." I whispered, not wanting to believe what I'd just seen.

"Zero-sama, is there any possible way that this is—"

"It's impossible! He... he's dead! I... killed him... I buried him... it can't be..." My body was now shivering violently, and Kaname stood, standing in front of me to hide me from the pairs of eyes watching me.

"Maybe this could be some sort of trick? Such as the original camera data being edited," I was thankful Kaname was steering the subject away from me.

"But Kaname-sama, for that to happen they'd need to have had some sort of interaction with Zero's brother Ichiru, for them to have been able to record his voice."

"Maybe what we're dealing with isn't just another manipulative pureblood – maybe it's something more? Like a sorcerer, or a necromancer even?" Shiki offered,

"But Shiki, it's highly unlikely that someone of such high status would be after Kaname-sama; and there isn't a pureblood other than Kaname-sama who could pay for such a man's services." Ruka countered.

They'd continued like this for some time, with different ideas bouncing off of the walls as I sat in silence, too deep in my own thoughts.

That was Ichiru,

I'd recognise him anywhere, he's my twin, he's a part of me, of course I'd know it's him.

But...

Why doesn't it feel like he was completely there?
