Hello everyone,

First of I want to apologize for not uploading last week. I had a bit of a writer's block due to which I couldn't even write the outline for the next few chapters :(

So to make it up to all of you, this chapter is double the length of a normal one (in other words it's two chapters in one). And I want to inform you all that I'll be writing a second chapter for Study Sessions Interrupted as it turned out that people like it and are curious to how Kaname is going to react. I'll let you know when it's done.

Now let's continue with the story.

Enjoy!

Zero nodded his thanks and left as well. Chiaka made her way over to her room and plopped down on her bed. 'Well, that went great. At least now the senate won't be able to try and execute Zero again as long as both Kaname and I are at this Academy. I wonder how the senate is going to respond to me standing up against them. Until some time ago they didn't even know I existed and now I'm defying them…' Chiaka turned around and pulled the covers over her. She fell asleep with her fate on her mind.

Chiaka woke up to the sound of someone knocking on her door in an irritated fashion. She grunted and rolled out of her bed. 'Who the hell is awake at this hour? It's way too early for class.' She thought while she grabbed her robe and made her way over to the door. She jerked the door open. "This better be an emergency!" Chiaka said angrily. When she looked up she saw Kaname standing in front of her door.

"It's not life threatening but it is important though." He said with a smile. Chiaka nodded and walked back to her bed sitting down on it while Kaname entered her room and closed the door. "The senate has summoned the both of us due to the events of last night. I know you never had to deal with them so I wanted to talk about some things before we left."

"Ruka told me a few things about the senate, but all of that was pretty general…"

"Well, we obliviously have to look our best." Kaname said with a small smile while eyeing Chiaka's dishevelled state. "And I wanted to ask if you would let me do the talking and back me up. I want to make sure that they leave Kiryuu and this Academy alone. My parents wanted to live in peace with humans and I don't want to see their pacifism destroyed by the senate."

Chiaka sighed and got up. "When are we leaving?"

"At 2 o'clock, Ichijo is arranging our transport and he'll be joining us."

"Then I better start getting ready." Chiaka said and walked towards her bathroom.

"Chiaka? Would it be alright if I picked out your clothes? It will be the first time they see you and I want you to make a good impression."

Chiaka turned around. "Be my guest." She said with a smile before she closed the door of the bathroom behind her. 'So I got 2 hours to get ready… He could have woken me up sooner, but at least I don't have to worry about my clothes.' She thought as she stepped into her shower. When she walked back into her room there was an outfit on her bed. It was a strapless, curve-hugging silver-grey dress that she had gotten from Rima and a short black denim jacket that she had picked up on her last trip into town. 'Now I only have to decide on what to do with my hair.' She thought and she put on the clothes.

She walked up to her mirror and admired the outfit Kaname had picked out for her. It was gorgeous but didn't scream for attention. Suddenly two hands started to model her hair. Chiaka stiffened at first but when she realized that it was Kaname she relaxed. When she looked into the mirror she saw that he was laughing. "I thought you might need help with you hair."

"Shouldn't you be getting ready to go yourself?" Chiaka asked annoyed.

"Already done." Kaname said and he chuckled when she sighed. When he was done her hair was in an elegant bun and two short locks of her hair framed her face.

"Thank you, Kaname." She said with a smile and kissed him on his cheek. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer when she tried to step away. He placed a chaste kiss on her lips before he let her go. "We should go." He said and offered her his arm. They made their way downstairs where Takuma was already waiting.

After a few minutes Akatsuki appeared on the top of the stairs. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"No problem. The car just came to pick us up." Takuma said.

"Then shall we go?" Kaname asked and he guided Chiaka towards to car. He helped Chiaka in the car before he got in himself. They sat closely together but were silent. Takuma and Akatsuki got in and the car left. The trip was quite long and no one had spoken since they departed. Akatsuki looked at Kaname before he spoke to Takuma.

"I didn't think our dorm president, or Chiaka-sama for that matter, would defy the senate."

"Well, Kaname is well-behaved for a Pureblood and almost no one knows of Chiaka's existence. But Kaname, the 'public' seems to sympathize with you. Kiryuu had enough reasons to kill Shizuka Hio and the senate tried to execute him without even investigating. You thwarted their attempt. Do you know what is being said about the Pureblood lord who risked his life to defend his nemesis Kiryuu, a vampire hunter?" Takuma said. When Kaname didn't respond he told them.

"Kaname-sama saved a schoolmate, someone from a different race, so Kaname-sama must be the one who is truly striving for peace unlike the senate. Kaname… I'm proud of you."

Chiaka realized that Takuma was trying to get Kaname in a better mood, since he seemed to be pretty depressed.

"I had no idea they were saying that. If it's true, I find it comforting since I am bound for the senate."

Everyone was silent once more. When they arrived at the building of the senate Kaname helped Chiaka out of the car and offered his arm again. They walked inside being flanked by Akatsuki and Takuma. When they arrived in the room where a part of the senate was sitting they noticed that there was only one chair. Kaname escorted Chiaka to the chair and allowed her to sit down in the chair before he sat down on armrest. The senate sat there in silence and studied Chiaka for a few minutes before Ichio spoke.

"We have decided that you did not rebel against us. We shall not execute Zero Kiryuu, as long as Chiaka-sama and Kaname-sama attend Cross Academy."

Chiaka breathed in relief and waited for a second but when she realized that Kaname wasn't planning on speaking she spoke. "Thank you so much, Asatoo Ichijo."

"Defending your schoolmate's honour and protecting him… These are generous and fair actions indeed and befitting for the head of the Kuran clan who laid the foundation for our pacifism. And they also show that the head of the Tejinaji clan supports the pacifism."

"There is something I have always wanted to request of the senate. Please do not interfere with the affairs of Cross Academy anymore. I do not want bloodshed just as my deceased parents wanted peace before me, Ichio." Kaname said and he stood up. He gently took Chiaka's hand and guided her from the room, with Akatsuki and Takuma following behind closely. During the trip back to the Academy no one spoke and Chiaka fell asleep after some time.

When they arrived at the Moon dorm Takuma made to wake her up but Kaname stopped him. "Let her sleep. I'll carry her to her room." Kaname said and he picked her up. He carried her to her room and placed her on her bed before he undressed her and redressed her in a nightgown. He slipped of his jacket and shoes before he laid down next to her. Chiaka curled up against his chest and Kaname pulled the coverlets over the both of them before falling asleep.

Someone opened the door of Chiaka's room, waking Kaname up. Kaname sat up immediately which woke Chiaka up as well. "Sorry for waking you so early, but bad things keep happening. Someone drank blood from a girl in the day class. She collapsed in a classroom; the day class believes it was just anemia…" Takuma said before he left again. Kaname sighed and got up.

"We'll need to go see the Chairman." Kaname said as he put on his shoes and grabbed his jacket and left her room. Chiaka got out of bed, put on her night class uniform and brushed her hair. When she was done she left her room and walked downstairs to find Kaname waiting for her. They walked to the Chairman's office in silence, both thinking about who it could be. As soon as they entered the office they saw that Yuuki and Zero were also present.

"We apologize, Chairman. It seems we weren't to keep an eye on everyone." Kaname said.

"No, no, it doesn't mean that a night class student did it." Kaien said. Chiaka and Kaname exchanged a dark look, both of them were pretty sure it was a night class student. "The senate summoned you and you were fatigued. Don't worry about it. The guardians are here to prevent things like this from happening. We just have to be on the lookout from now on. Fortunately, the girl who fainted doesn't remember who drank from her… Actually, she doesn't remember anything about it. The vampire must have sealed her memories."

"Then the suspect must be in the night class." Kaname said.

Chiaka saw Yuuki's confused look and explained. "Only aristocrats and Purebloods can seal someone's memories without using the spells handed down to vampire hunters. Almost all of the night class students are aristocrats."

Kaname nodded. "I understand that you don't want to suspect the students, but you're too soft, Chairman."

"Don't worry. Whoever did this was clever. It doesn't mean you're useless." Zero said while messing Yuuki's hair up.

Yuuki smoothed her hair down. "Hey, you should feel a little responsible too, Zero."

"Kiryuu, you're a suspect as well. You're of a rare lineage of vampire hunters, so I wouldn't be surprised if you developed extraordinary powers."

"Kaname!" Kaien said.

"I don't recall doing anything."

"Really? Maybe your lust for blood has lead you to attacking humans unconsciously…"

Yuuki snapped. "Even if you don't like Zero, I thought you still trusted him! Do you really believe that Zero attacked a girl?"

"Don't say 'attacked a girl'…" Zero mumbled.

"Shut up!" When Kaname didn't respond Yuuki got even angrier. "Then I'll find out who did it, to prove that Zero is innocent!" She grabbed Zero's arm and dragged him from the room. "Let's go."

"Calm down, Yuuki…"

"I won't speak to you again until you admit Zero is innocent!" Yuuki said to Kaname and left the room.

The door closed and the silence in the room was deafening. "Oh! I think this is the first time she's rebelled against you!" Kaien said. " 'I won't speak to you again!' You must be in shock…"

'That was a stupid thing to say Kaien; don't you know Kaname at all, after all that time?' Chiaka thought. Kaien looked up at Kaname and saw him glaring.

"Uh-oh…" Kaien said when he realized what he had done. "Anyway, this has to stop. If I allowed this to continue, I would be betraying the trust of all the parents of the day class. When things are difficult, how do we truly coexist? That's what we've got to figure out."

Chiaka and Kaname left the office. Chiaka realized that Kaname was really agitated by what Yuuki had said. "I'll stay close to Yuuki, you go figure out who did it." She said and walked of in the direction of the infirmary.

She caught up with them just outside. "Wait up! I'll tag along if you don't mind."

Zero turned around. "What for? Did Kaname order you to keep an eye on me so I don't attack Yuuki?"

"He doesn't order me around, because he knows I'll kick his ass if he tried. And I don't believe you did it, I think you've got more self-control then that. I just want to find out who did it."

Yuuki beamed. "Let's go then!" And they entered the infirmary. The infirmary didn't only hold the girl who had fainted but also Takuma, Rima, Senri, Ruka and Kain.

"Oh? It's Yuuki, Kiryuu and Chiaka. You came to see this girl too?"

'So Kaname sent them away. That means that he is trying to draw the one who did it into the open…' Chiaka thought.

"Ichijo?" Yuuki said shocked.

"The night class… Your classes were cancelled for tonight?" Zero asked, but he was ignored.

"I'm sorry for asking so many questions. Are you alright?" Takuma said.

"Yes… I'm sorry I couldn't be of any help. I-I'll be going now. Thank you for the flowers." The girl said and she stopped in front of Zero. "Thanks for carrying me here, Kiryuu. It was just anemia. I'm fine. I'm sorry for saying mean things about you, you're actually nice." She said and fled from the room.

"Zero, you're nice!" Yuuki said.

"Now if he would just stop frowning and glaring…" Takuma said.

"So? Why are you all here?" Zero snapped.

"Yes! You know the night class are suspects!"

"Heh heh… I'm glad you asked. We're the detectives of justice sent by dorm president Kaname! Our name is… What shall we class ourselves?" Takuma asked.

"Don't ask me!" Kain said.

Chiaka took her chance and slapped Takuma on the back of his head. He turned back to her and looked offended. Behind his back both Ruka and Kain gave her the thumbs up. "Focus, Takuma."

"Anyway, Kaname asked up to investigate. We six."

"Kaname did?"

"Then we can trust the students that are here." Zero said.

"Probably. Oh? Aidou isn't here." Takuma said.

"Aidou has been acting a little strange lately." Kain said.

"Hanabusa broke rules before." Ruka remarked.

"I bet Aidou did it." Senri replied.

"No… I don't think Hanabusa did it. Probably not… Yeah."

"Ah! Zero left." Yuuki exclaimed.

"So Kain, even you don't trust Aidou!" Ruka said.

Chiaka sighed. "I don't think Aidou did it. He wouldn't dare to after the last time, because this time he would have to deal with both Kaname and me. We better search the campus maybe we´ll come across the one who did it." The others nodded and the left the infirmary.

After a while they still handed found anyone. "Yuuki-chan, why don't you return to your dorm? I'll keep an eye on everything so you don't have to worry about a thing."

Yuuki nodded and left. Chiaka turned to the others. "We can go back to our dorm as well. I can keep an eye on things from there." When they were back at the moon dorm everyone left to catch up on some sleep. Chiaka sat on her bed and opened herself up to her surroundings. She could sense Yuuki and Zero in the infirmary and also Kaname and one of the other night class students at the dorm of the day class girls. 'I guess his plan worked. That means that I can go to sleep as well.' Chiaka thought and crawled into her bed. She turned around and drifted off to sleep.

After Chiaka woke up the next day she put on some comfortable clothes and started to study for an upcoming test. She was about halfway through the subjects when someone knocked on her door. "Come in." she said and looked up to see a very nervous Aidou. He closed the door behind him and sat down on the sofa. "What's wrong, Hanabusa-kun? You seem nervous."

"Y-you know that most children of vampires are introduced to the night society around the age of ten right?" Chiaka nodded and he continued. "My p-parents are hosting a s-soirée tonight and I told them about you. They want to meet you and would be v-very h-honoured if you would attend…"

"Why would they be honoured if I attend? I don't see what's so special about it; no one else would know who I am…"

"They would have the honour of introducing you to the night society. And others would see that as a sign that you are close to my family which would raise my family's social standing. Please attend. Kaname is going as well, so you won't be the only Pureblood and most of the night class students will be there as well."

Chiaka chuckled. "I'll attend, but I'll have to start getting ready now. Would you mind asking Ruka if she come and help me pick a suitable dress?"

Aidou jumped up. "Thank you! And that would be no problem." He said and left the room.

Chiaka shook her head and got up. She took a long relaxing bath. When she walked into the room Ruka was already going through the contents of her wardrobe.

"What impression do you want to make, Chiaka-sama? You'll look drop dead gorgeous either way, but do you want a more conservative dress or a sexier one?"

"Let's go for a sexy one, it will blow them away." Chiaka said and smiled at Ruka. Ruka proceeded to pull a black dress out of the wardrobe. It had a corset-top and the skirt was floor-length at the back while knee-length at the front and it would flow around her whenever she moved. Chiaka took the dress from Ruka, stepped into it and held it in place while Ruka fastened the laces of the corset. "Thanks, Ruka-chan." Ruka nodded and left the room to get ready herself. Chiaka curled her hair so it would hang in ringlets instead of the normal waves.

When it was time to leave she left her room and went downstairs. As she arrived she saw that Aidou, Kain, Takuma and Kaname were already waiting for her. The trip was short and they saw that they were one of the first to arrive. As they walked towards the entrance Kain called Aidou.

"Hanabusa."

"What is it, Akatsuki?"

"For some reason, Yuuki Cross is lying unconscious here."

"What a troublesome girl." Kaname sighed and he went to pick her up. Inside Aidou guided them to a room that was out of the way and where they could put Yuuki. Kaname stayed with her, while Aidou, Kain and Takuma took Chiaka with them so she could be introduced to Aidou's parents. They stopped at a drawing room and Aidou gestures for Chiaka to enter. He closes the door behind her when she did.

The man in the room bows before he speaks. "My name is Nagamichi Aidou. It is an honour to meet you Chiaka Tejinaji-sama. I would offer you my condolences for the deaths of your parents and brother, but my son has told me that you don't want to talk about their murder."

"Thank you, Nagamichi-san. I've never been to a soirée before; could you tell me a bit about the events?"

"I'll mingle with the guest for a while and make sure all of them know that you are attending and then Hanabusa will come to escort you. Hanabusa told me that you attended Ichijo's birthday, it will be much the same as that after your introduction. I must be going now though, the guests are arriving."

Chiaka nodded and Nagamichi left the room. She sat down on one of the chairs. After a while Hanabusa opened the door. "It's time, Chiaka-sama." Chiaka stood up and followed Hanabusa from the room. They stopped in front of a door and he slipped through. Hanabusa walked up to his father and whispered. "She's right on the other side of the door." He walked back to the door and held the handle.

"It is a great honour to introduce the daughter of the Tejinaji clan to you, Chiaka-sama." Nagamichi said and he stepped aside while Hanabusa opened the door. Chiaka stepped into the room and everyone bowed or curtseyed. Chiaka walked into the room and was immediately surrounded by people who introduced themselves, offered condolences or wished her a long and happy life.

After some idle chit-chat with a famous actress, the woman introduced her son and hoped that she might take a liking to him. Chiaka was at a loss for word so she just smiled and nodded. Suddenly everyone started to introduce her to their sons and wished for the same thing. Chiaka was getting very nervous and when she spotted Zero she took her chance and apologized, saying that she saw a friend of hers that she hadn't greeted yet.

"Working, Zero-kun?"

"Escaping from your suitors?"

Chiaka chuckled darkly. "You have no idea. They don't even know me, yet they already offer me their sons. They're getting on my nerves."

Zero sighed. "Why don't you just tell them that you're not interested?"

"Because that would be rude."

They two stood next to each other in silence until Chiaka giggled. At Zero's questioning look she explained. "They do their best not to show it but they are afraid to get near you. Seems like you don't only scare your classmates."

Zero looked at her and smiled. 'Call the press; it's the eighth world wonder... Zero just smiled!' Chiaka thought shocked, but amused. Not long after that Hanabusa and Akatsuki walked up to them.

"People are getting anxious, Chiaka-sama. Maybe you should mingle with the crowds again." Akatsuki said.

Chiaka glared at both of them. "Then you two better stay close to me, because if anyone asks me to take a liking to their son again I'll commit a murder."

The three men laughed and both Hanabusa and Akatsuki offered her their arm. The escorted her to the safety a group of night class students that included Ruka, Rima and Senri. Chiaka relaxed a bit and talked to those she knew. "Of course, father. The vice president just went to collect him." She heard Hanabusa say to his father.

Everybody bowed or curtseyed again when Kaname entered the room. "Excuse me. I didn't mean to interrupt everyone. Please enjoy yourselves."

One of the few men who had offered their son to Chiaka spoke. "Kaname-sama, Is it true you stood up against the senate to defend a human? This one here?"

Kaname looked at Chiaka to indicate that she should answer. "That we did."

There were whispers all around the room. "I respect Kaname-sama…" "Chiaka-sama is really courageous…" "He must believe it is time we meet humans halfway, for both our futures." "She's a really caring person if she defends a person without differentiating between vampires and…" "What a noble cause…"

Nagamichi approached Kaname. "Kaname-sama. Thank you for putting up with my son."

"Thank you for inviting me tonight, Lord Aidou. I'm not comfortable at soirées, so I hardly ever attend…"

"Please don't worry about it. We have a special favor to ask of you tonight."

"Father!" Hanabusa interjected as his father gestured a young woman closer.

"This is my daughter, Tsukiko. We hope that you, Kaname-sama, may take a fancy to her… That is the wish of the entire clan."

"Father, please. Kaname-sama, that's not my wish!"

Kaname smiled a little. "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I will remember her." Chiaka felt a stab of jealousy at his reply. 'He spends nights with me and drinks my blood… He isn't interested in her, is he? I already have to share him with Yuuki, isn't that enough?'

"Kaname-sama, please come meet my daughter…" "Kaname-sama! Please meet my daughter too…" "Kaname-sama used to ignore this topic completely." "Indeed. He has matured. He now understands his role as a rare Pureblood."

'So that's what's going on. They place him in the same position as they placed me in…'

Everyone bowed and someone spoke from behind her. "Everyone, please don't make a fuss. You're inconveniencing Kaname-sama."

"Sara-sama." "It's Sara-sama, the daughter of the Shirabuki family." "Sara-sama is attending this soirée as well? This is truly a momentous occasion."

"Sara. It's been a while." Kaname said.

"Kaname… I've missed seeing you, since you started playing school. There are few Purebloods left in this world, so we must support each other." Sara said.

Chiaka looked up at one of the open hallways above the hall. She sensed Yuuki running back to the room in which she had been before. She walked over to Kaname and looked him in his eyes. When she was in front of him she placed a hand on his right shoulder and he bended his head. "Yuuki just ran back to her room, she saw everything. It felt like she was quite upset." Chiaka whispered in his ear and stepped back. Kaname nodded and left the room.

"You didn't curtsey when I entered the room and you touched a Pureblood so casually, how dare you insult us." Sara said to Chiaka.

"Kaname and I are close friends…"

"That's Kaname-sama for you!"

"Why should I call him Kaname-sama? He is my friend and addressing him as sama is unnecessary, since I'm a Pureblood as well." Chiaka said and she walked toward Ruka, who was silently shaking with laughter at Sara's shocked impression.

"Maybe that will teach her to leave him alone and not act so high and mighty." Ruka said and the two of them burst out in laughter. After a while the party drifted to an end and the guests started to leave. After all the guests had left and Yuuki had put on a car back to the academy, the night class students got ready to leave.

Nagamichi walked up to Chiaka. "I want to ask a favor of you, Chiaka-sama. I know a lot of people already asked this of you, but it would make the whole clan very happy if you took a liking to Hanabusa."

Chiaka looked over his shoulder at Kaname who was trying his hardest not to laugh. "Who knows what the future might hold? But at this moment he is just one of few but valued friends." Nagamichi nodded and walked away. Chiaka walked up to Kaname and glared.

"If you mention this to Hanabusa, I'll mention Tsukiko to Yuuki."

"What did he mean when he said that a lot of people had already asked that of you?"

"He was talking about the fact that every single guy at the soirée was offered to me by their parents… At least someone saved you from that, I had to flee to Zero's side to make sure I was left alone!"

Kaname chuckled. Chiaka noticed that it sounded strained. 'He looks anxious; I wonder what happened between him and Yuuki…" The trip to the Academy was silent. Kaname and Chiaka were in the last car and when they arrived at the dorm everyone had already retired to their rooms. They walked upstairs but when Chiaka wanted to go to her own room, Kaname grabbed her arm and dragged her to his room. He closed the door behind them and pushed her against it after he had ripped her denim jacket off her shoulders. He pressed his body against hers so she couldn't escape and then he sank his fangs into her neck.

'Something must have happened between him and Yuuki; he's never this rough…' Chiaka thought while he drank her blood. When some time had passed he stopped and gentle carried her to his bed. He laid down next to him and touched the side of her neck where the bite wound he had created was healing. "Sorry, I didn't want to hurt you…"

"Don't worry, it will heal." Chiaka said with a small smile and she pulled him closer. "What happened to make you so anxious?"

Kaname sighed. "I asked her if she would become a vampire and live the long flow of time with me. She said yes…"

Chiaka was confused. "Isn't that what you wanted? I thought you wanted to be together with her…"

"You're right, but I never meant to change her, not now anyway. I nearly bit her, if I hadn't noticed that she was terrified and crying I would have… I'm sorry I took it out on you, Chiaka."

"At least I don't change. Besides I already knew you get anxious when something happens to Yuuki."

Kaname nodded and Chiaka continued to hold him. Not much later she drifted off to sleep. Kaname pulled out of her embrace, laid down on his back and pulled her to his chest. "At least you are here with me; if anything was to happen to you I don't know how I would survive…" Kaname whispered. He kissed the top of her head and fell asleep.
