Gomen nasai! I have once again gotten distracted and then the computer was being mean :p . *Sigh* Well it's all good now. I got it on here even though it's my shortest one yet. Sorry about that as well. Hope you enjoy. And as always Author's Notes are in () and I love to read reviews on what you liked/hated or thought was funny, etc... or all the above ^_^ *bold voice* Now read on my readers...*whispers* read on...


My mind was swarming with inquisitive voices that were all focused on the last dream I had. 'Why in the hell is it that I can't remember that boy's name?' I thought. The frustration and concentration was clearly on my face since the next thing I knew, I was grabbed by the shoulders by Zero and Yuuki and I was looking up at a tree about an inch from my face. "Woah," I said with my eyes wide in shock. I guess I had been so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't realize where I was walking. "Tree," I added blankly.

"Would you stop spacing out already?" Zero said and guided her firmly back onto the path that she had trailed off of. "Look," he began with a sigh. "We're not going to find Caesar in the dark because of its color. Let's just finish up this stupid Guardian crap and go to bed," he grumbled.

Yuuki and I shared a sympathetic sigh and nodded. Now it was the both of us who were aware of Zero's pain. However I was scared to help him anymore with his thirst after I remembered a tale that said vampires were able to "look inside others" while drinking their blood. Or something along those lines. Hopefully Zero didn't feel any of the pain that I had inside when he took the long drink from my neck. As I thought of it, again the wounds began to throb. Well, knowing Zero was right we headed down the Day Class pathway once more just in case, to finish up our rounds.

Excusing himself from the others after gaining permission from Kaname, Ichijou retreated to his room to finish the few books he had left to read about the past. And how it was connected to Miho. (Yay! Another chibi vision! In 3...2..1..) The blond happily flung himself on his belly onto the bed with his arms spread out as wide as his smile. Hitting the bed with a soft bounce, he laid there for a moment before his expression became serious again and he began to scan the books beside him. (Ok..Over ^_^ ) "Hm," he thought out loud before securing his mouth and thinking to himself. 'I guess I'll go ahead and jog her memory with my words. If there's no reaction, it's not who I think it is,' he concluded. Setting the books down in his dresser drawer, although taking another object with him, he made his way back outside. Knowing classes would be over soon, he didn't take the extra time to walk into the classroom but simply made his way to where the Cross' stayed. He passed the Night Class and then a dazed yet still cold looking Zero on his way to the academy's school and thought it odd that he didn't get a glare from him like usual. 'There must be a lot on that mind of his,' he concluded with a little sympathy. He couldn't begin to imagine the pain of a vampire on the verge of becoming a Level E. The saddest, most vicious, and in Zero's case, one of the most masochistic kinds of vampire. Now that both the Night Class students and Zero had gone back to their dorm rooms, he gathered that Yuuki and Miho had also returned to their rooms. Entering the Chairman's office first, he greeted the long haired man with a smile and a lighthearted tone. "Hello. Is Miho asleep yet or may I speak with her real quick?" he asked.

"I think she just got out of the bath. You may go in, but I recommend knocking first," Kaien said with a yawn as he stood up.

"Thank you sir," Takuma replied and walked up to the door that led to Miho's make-shift bedroom as Kaien made his way into the kitchen for a midnight snack. Raising a fist he tapped seven times in the classic tune on the door's surface.

"Come in," I stated as I tossed the towel I was drying my hair with into the bathroom floor. It didn't help too much though, feeling a couple cold drops of water drip from a few of the strands of hair that overlapped on top of my black nightgown. It was exactly like Yuuki's green one, reason being she let me borrow her old one that she didn't wear much anymore. The door opened and I looked over as it did so. "Oh! Ichijou-sama. What are you doing here?" I asked while walking up to meet him in the door way, curious as to his appearance there.

"Hello to you too Miho-san," he replied with a happy-go-lucky smile. 'Some of the last words to a wonderful friend,' he thought before taking a silent yet deep breath. "Here you go," Ichijou began as he held out Caesar by one of the holster's leather straps. "You left this in the grass," he continued. Seeing her look down and take hold of the object, he laughed a little. "You forget things often don't you. That's okay. I'll help you remember," he finished and waited for her to look up so he could see the expression of her face.
