Hello again :)

Here is the second chapter for today to make up for the length of the last one (just as I promised).

Now, let us continue with the story.

The next day Chiaka woke earlier than usually. She didn't mind though, since she was planning on going to see Kaname. She showered and got dressed. Before she left her room she decided to take two blood tablets, to make sure that she didn't get thirsty that day. She had the feeling that she should be as strong as possible. She left her room and walked through the dorm. It was very quiet since most of the others were still asleep. When she arrived at Kaname's room she knocked on the door and entered. She closed the door before she spoke.

"Kaname-kun, I was wondering if we could talk about Maria Kurenai…"

Kaname looked up from the chessboard and motioned her to sit down across of him. "What did you want to talk about?"

Chiaka took a deep breath to order her thoughts when someone suddenly knocked on the door. She looked at Kaname for a second and summoned her shield to protect her from everyone's view. Kaname seemed surprised for a bit but then called out for the person to enter. Takuma entered and was followed by Maria.

"Kaname. She… Maria Kurenai says she can't sleep well in the dorm because she's too nervous…" Takuma said hesitantly. He had noticed that Kaname had been looking straight ahead until he had said his name. 'Wonder what he's thinking about…'

"I'd like to leave the dorm for a while to keep things peaceful in the night class. I heard that there was a building used as a temporary dorm for the night class in the beginning. I'd… like to stay there." Maria said in a calm and polite tone.

"… Fine. I'll talk to the chairman about it."

"Huh? It's fine?" Takuma stammered shocked.

"I'm so happy! Thank you." Maria said and she skipped out of the room. Takuma hesitated in the doorway but when he saw that Kaname had turned his attention back to the chessboard he left the room and closed the door. Chiaka let the shield slip and became visible again.

"Impressive skill, Chiaka-chan. It could be very useful…"

"It is. The only downside is that I can't do much else during that time. It requires a lot of focus and energy. But it's useful if you don't want to hide or listen to thinks that aren't meant for your ears." Chiaka replied with a smile.

Kaname chuckled. "But you didn't come here to demonstrate your new skill, did you? Now why did you want to discuss Maria Kurenai?"

Chiaka sits back and starts at the beginning. "Yesterday in class I noticed that even though her body is that of an aristocrat, her aura is that of a Pureblood. Also the way she behaved reminded me of some of the things that Ruka told me about 'correct' Pureblood behaviour…" Chiaka took a deep breath and continued. "When we returned to the dorm yesterday, I made sure that I wasn't seen before I made myself invisible. Then I followed Aidou and Kain and listened in to their conversation. They were discussing Maria and while Kain hadn't noticed anything strange about her Aidou had. He asked Kain if he had ever met a Pureblood named Shizuka Hio. And they shortly discussed her. When I was back in my room I looked her up and found out that Maria is related to Hio…"

Chiaka looked at Kaname, but Kaname stayed silent so she spoke the conclusion she had drawn. "I think Shizuka Hio is controlling the body of Maria Kurenai. I don't know why though…"

"It seems you're more observant then I gave you credit for. And you are right. I also think that Shizuka is possessing Maria. But I know why…"

Chiaka and Kaname looked at each other in silence. Neither of them spoke for a while. "I will tell you under one condition. I want you to promise that no matter what happens you will be my ally and you'll keep Yuuki safe. I won't ask for a blood oath nor will I demand that you swear loyalty to me."

Chiaka sighed. "I want something in return… I want your promise that you won't betray me."

Kaname looked shocked by that. 'Why would she think that I might betray her? What does she know that I don't know?' "I wouldn't betray my own allies so I'm fine with that." They then officially promised each other to be their ally.

"Chiaka-chan, why were you afraid that I would betray you?" Chiaka shifted uncomfortable on her chair, but didn't answer. Kaname gently reached out and listed her face so he could look into her eyes. He leaned in and brushed his lips against hers. "Please?" he asked softly.

"I know who is behind the attack on my family, but I'm afraid to tell you because of the things it implicates."

"I won't tell anyone, Chiaka, please trust me."

Chiaka was shocked by the fact that he called her by her given name. No one had ever done that because it implicates a bound deeper then friendship. She had to swallow several times before she could speak. Kaname had seen the shock pas through her eyes when he addressed her by her given name and was pretty pleased by the effects it had on her.

"You know the person who controlled the attack… Remember that I told you and Kaien that I had seen his face in the memories of my parents but that I didn't recognize him?" When Kaname nodded she continued. "Well I know his name now; Asatoo Ichijo. My parents knew he was after them because they didn't want to work together with the senate. That is also one of the reasons that they kept me a secret. They were sure that if he knew about me that he would try to control me. When he came here I recognized him and he recognized me but he didn't believe it at first."

Kaname sighed but realized now why she was afraid that he might betray her. "Your family isn't the only one who has fallen prey to Ichio. Shizuka was engaged to an older pureblood. She was raised in a cage to 'protect' her. At a certain moment she fell in love with a human, who had been thrown into the cage as food. She turned him and they left. After some time he was put on the execution list of the vampire hunters. The parents of Zero Kiryuu hunted him down and killed him. In return Shizuka slaughtered the whole Kiryuu family and bit Zero. I suspect that Shizuka's fiancé worked together with Ichio and putted her lover on the list. I think that Shizuka is here to gain strength so she can take out those that she hates the most."

"There is one more thing, Kaname. When Ichio left I caught the end of his conversation with Takuma. He reminded Takuma that he needs to keep an eye on the both of us and make sure that I trusted him more than anyone else… I don't know what to do, I enjoy Takuma's company but I don't know if I should trust him or not."

Kaname smiled at her. "You can trust him. He has sworn loyalty to me and would never tell his grandfather anything harmful without my permission."

Chiaka nodded and the two of them continued to chat for some time. They even played a few games of chess before Chiaka went back to her own room.

"Chiaka, I was planning on confronting Shizuka tonight. If you want you can come and listen, as long as you stay hidden. I don't want to make you a target."

Chiaka sniggered. "Oh, don't worry. No one will see me." She said and winked before she became invisible and left.

Kaname was chuckling. He had to admit that he enjoyed spending time with her. Conversation flowed easily between the two of them and neither had to keep up pretences. They could be themselves without any trouble. And then there was the fact that her blood quenched his thirst better than that of others. The bond between the two of them was a mystery to him.

The day past without any disturbances. When twilight set in, Chiaka made herself invisible and left the room to find Kaname. When she spotted him she followed him without alerting anyone. He was waiting in a room that held some tables and chairs. Maria wasn't there yet, but she couldn't risk getting noticed by her. So Chiaka walked up to Kaname and stood on her toes. She gently placed her hands on his chest to maintain her balance and whispered in his ear. "I'm here."

Kaname suppressed a shiver and whispered. "Ok. Make sure she doesn't notice you. She is almost here." Chiaka stepped away and together they waited. After a few minutes Maria walked in with a boy following close behind her.

"That body… That name… At first I was puzzled at how to respond." Kaname said.

"Really? I was trying not to embarrass you."

"It was offensive. You just wanted to play around with us."

"Me, play a game? When did you grow up and start looking at things so conscientiously? We're both Purebloods." Maria said and walked away.

Chiaka waited for a bit before she turned visible again. "That went well. At least we know that we were right." She walked back to where Kaname was sitting and sat down next to him. "Now what?"

"Now we wait. She was after my blood but now that she knows that you are a Pureblood as well, she will try to find a way to get blood from both of us."

Chiaka chuckled. "I'd love to see her try, I can take care of myself and I won't let her harm you either…" Chiaka blushed at what she had just said and looked away in attempt to hide it.

"She will try to get my blood first, since she probably already knows my weakness…"

Chiaka had stopped listening and interrupted what he was about to say. "Yuuki."

"That is correct."

Chiaka looked up confused and realized that he thought that she meant his weakness. "What I meant is that Zero is on his way to Shizuka and Yuuki is following him. We should get to the place that Shizuka is staying at to make sure she doesn't get hurt!"

Kaname jumped up and rushed out of the room. Chiaka followed him but had a bit of trouble keeping up. When they arrived Yuuki called Zero's name. Kaname rushed forward and grasped her. He covered her mouth and put her to sleep. They quickly made their way to Yuuki's dorm. Kaname handed Yuuki to Chiaka so she could put her back in her room.

"When you're done here, please come to my room." Kaname said and walked away.

Chiaka walked into the building and made her way to Yuuki and Yori's room. She placed Yuuki in her bed and left without anyone noticing. When she got back to the moon dorm she went to Kaname's room. She entered without knocking and closed the door. Kaname pulled her into a hug and nuzzled his face into her neck. "Thank you." He whispered and sank his teeth into her pulse spot. When he was done drinking he gently carried her to his bed. He undressed and helped her into the bed. Chiaka drank some of his blood before she snuggled into his chest and fell asleep. Kaname wrapped his arms around her and pulled her a bit closer. Then he went to sleep as well.

There you go. I hope you enjoyed it ^^
