Chapter 21:

Azami had tried to help the headmaster from the beginning. The only problem she had was the lack of information they provided her. How was she supposed to help keep the school safe if no one told her was happening? She found out that Zero Kiryu had a brother, which she didn't know only because she never really felt the need to dig deep into the Kiryu family. She found out the Kaname was still being a manipulator.

The next day was very awkward to say the least. When everyone came back there was nothing but tension and suspicion. Everyone seemed to be on edge, especially Rima. Every time she tried to talk to Senri, or what looked like Senri, he would always neglect her and wreak havoc somewhere else. Azami felt bad for Rima so she decided to hang out with her until the time was right for Senri to come back as himself. Which might have been sooner than every one thought.

"Azami..."

"Is there something wrong Rima? You're talking so there must be something wrong."

"Senri... It doesn't feel like it's him. He hasn't been the same since he came back..."

Azami had to think her words over for a second. "I know. I'm trying to figure it out myself."

Azami got up and started wondering to Kaname's room. She knew he would be in there because, we;;, why wouldn't he was concocting a plan and what better place to do that than in your own room?

"Kaname are you in there?" She said, without knocking on the door. The door opened a little crack, leaving her to open even more and walk inside. Closing the door behind she walked over to Kaname who was sitting on the bed, bent over as if he was grieving. She knew he wasn't grieving. She knew.

"You felt him too didn't you? He's getting stronger." Azami didn't have to feel him. Out of the amount of times that he's popped up in her room and the countless of times in her dreams she knew that he was getting stronger.

Kaname hadn't said anything so Azami just continued speaking.

"Kaname... what is he after? I came here so I could help Cross and he trusted me to help him. And I will help him even if that means having to help you."

"Azami..." he stopped for a moment, trying to put his words together. He didn't know how to say what he was thinking because he didn't know what she knew. He may have been a pureblood but that didn't mean he could read her thoughts. "I have to do something. Whatever happens, I hope you don't hate me after this."

Kaname gave her a quick kiss on the lips before leaving his room to go elsewhere. After a few minutes she decided to walk outside to get some fresh air. She could slowly feel the atmosphere changing into one of dread. It was something all too familiar to her. As she took each step the wind got colder, the snow stuck even more to the ground and the atmosphere filled with even more dread. She couldn't help but find the need to look for Kaname, only because she felt that this heaviness was his doing. Though she didn't have to do much to find him seeing as how Zero stuck out like a sore thumb on the rood of the school.

Azami got closer to what he was looking at and saw that Kaname had Yuki in his arms, slowly lying what looked like to be her unconscious body on the ground. Trying to use her vampire hearing a little more clearly she heard what was going on.

"It's time to wake up, before you start to go mad," he whispered sadly in her ear. Azami saw Kaname bite her neck and saw that she was slowly opening her eyes, realizing what was going on.

"Kaname!" she whispered. She tried getting up but Kaname held her there and continued drinking from her blood. Azami felt a change in Yuki and realized what she should have known this entire time. Yuki was a vampire. She could feel it as Kaname changed her back. She didn't have the same vibe as one does when they turn. No. She was a pureblood vampire locked up for many years. In her own cave that was sealed off for the world to not see, not even herself.

Azami saw Kaname bite his wrist and slowly brought to Yuki's lips. She started squirming but soon stopped realizing what was happening. Kaname pulled away and Azami saw Yuki's eyes, they were widened in shock.

"Are you awake now? Do you remember?" Kaname said with such sadness laced in his voice.

Azami saw Zero on top of the rood of the area they were in. He had his gun pointed at Kaname and Yuki and there was nothing but rage on his face. At that moment Azami didn't know what to do. She didn't know whether or not she should intervene in the threes encounter or if she should stay back. Everything was going downhill and she couldn't help but feel useless in that moment. She felt as useless as the day she did when those men came into her house. Of course she grew stronger from that but this, this wasn't something to so easily handle. This was feelings. One cannot just so easily manipulate feelings or change what was happening because it was bound to happen.

Azami zoned back in when she heard Yuki shouting at Zero. "Zero no! Kaname is my brother!"

Azami and Zero were a little shocked. Zero a little more than her. "I'm sorry Zero." Yuki fainted into Kanames arms as he looked up at Zero.

"If I was truly her older brother, I would have been much happier." Kaname said.

"So you're saying, that all of this," Azami pointed to the entire school, "was because of a sister THAT WASN'T EVEN BORN YOUR ACTUAL SISTER?!"

Azami was beyond angry. "HE CAME BACK BECAUSE OF HER?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!" Azami was too angry to think straight. She couldn't understand what was so important about Yuki that made all of this happen. "Kuran... don't talk to me unless you want your head ripped off."

So I'm going to be skipping the part where Zero is in jail only because I want to get to the battle. I will still somehow put that part in the story just not all of it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. BYE ^_^
