"Stay away from Cross Yuuki."

That was Kaname-sama's order and it had to be followed--he'd done his best. But what kind of trick was the universe playing on him tonight, that he should be the one to stumble across her in this state?

What kind of stupid brat falls asleep on a staircase anyway?

He stared down at her, the glass of fruit-juice held in one hand as the other swept back through his already messy hair. He didn't know what to do about this. If Kaname came in and found her, there'd be hell--but if he touched her, he'd be in big trouble, personally.

But God-forbid anything happen to her...

Hanabusa groaned, but managed to turn away.

From the shadows, he could keep watch over her, but he wouldn't be caught dead--or chance an untimely brush with his own demise--by standing over her like the predator he was.

Kaname would come soon.

Or rather, Hanabusa fervently hoped he would.
