Not sure herself why she had agreed, Luka followed Gakupo to the dancefloor and started to dance with him. Something told Luka that dancing with Gakupo was a necessity, but she quite couldn't put her finger on it. It wasn't any type of attraction though, Luka knew for a fact.

"Why did you want to dance with me?" Luka asked, the tone in her voice asking Gakupo to cut straight to business.

Gakupo leaned close, as if to plant a kiss on Luka's cheek, and said into her ear, "You know the night that Gumi was killed?" Luka shuddered, not at all liking the reminder. "Well, you know as well as I do that this whole area, even the forest, is surrounded by a gate. How else do we keep vampires out but a tall wall and security sensors?"

When Gakupo pulled back, Luka stood on her toes and whispered in his ear, "There is no other way, but why are you asking me? What matter does this have?"

Gakupo waited a few minutes before bringing his lips back to her ear. Whether this was to prepare what he was going to say, or making sure nobody was paying them any heed, Luka wasn't sure, but if it was the latter then maybe what he had to say held some importance that wasn't for other's ears. "Well my dad was watching the gates that night, as you already may know, and he couldn't figure out how a vampire got in without his detection. After giving it some thought he decided to check the entire perimeter. It took him days, but he managed to find something interesting."

When he didn't continue Luka began to wonder whether or not he was going to let her know what was so interesting. Biting her lip, Luka said "Must be very interesting if you're choosing your words carefully."

"Not carefully," Gakupo said, "cautiously." Leaning back down he said, "There was a tamper in the security in the farther end of the forest. It's puzzling, you know? There are only two people who know how to fix security without setting anything off."

"You and your dad?" Luka asked, unsure of answer.

"Not me," Gakupo said as if with regret. "My dad and your mom."

Luka bit her lip so hard that she started to bleed. "What are you saying? Why are you telling me this?"

"Dad doesn't trust the Lady, and even though I shouldn't be telling you this I believe you do have the right to know. Now Luka, did I make a mistake in trusting you?"

Luka didn't know how to respond. If she said "yes", as she ought to do, she would make Gakupo think that she will inform her mother of Mr. Kamui's accusations; but if she said "no" she will easily show Gakupo that she has distrust in her own mother. She then realized that if she did say "yes" and didn't tell her mother anything then Gakupo may realize that she had lied. Gakupo wasn't an idiot, at least not like Kaito was. "I think you have very interesting information," was all Luka decided to say.

Gakupo smiled and said, "I think I should let you go now. Your friends are giving us a look."

Luka looked over her shoulder and saw Meiko and Kaito looking at them. "I guess I should go," Luka said, knowing that her best friends were going to ask her a ton of questions the minute she was free.

"Hold on," Gakupo said. He took a handkerchief out of his jacket and wiped the blood off of Luka's lips. "There," he smiled when the only red left on Luka's lips was her lipsitck. "Keep what I said in mind, okay?" Luka only nodded as an answer. Gakupo smiled and, before Luka knew what happened, he brushed his lips against hers and left before she could react.

What is that Kamui boy up to? Luka thought as she gently touched her lips.

"We're an embarrassment!" Miku laughed. The way she and Len danced made people stop what they were doing and watch for how comedic it was.

"Do you care?" Len asked.

"Nope!" Miku answered. The mood had instantly changed when the music slowed down. She saw how the couples were got close together and swayed with the music. Miku began to twirl her fingers nervously, but she noticed a hand extended towards her. "Are you sure?" Miku asked cautiously.

"I'm going to ask again," Len smiled, "do you care?"

Miku gently took his hand. "No," was her quiet whisper. The two pulled close together and danced, or at least tried to dance, with the music. "Aren't you afraid that someone will see us?" she asked.

"Look around," Len said, "everybody's in there own world right now. Nobody is watching us."

"Not even your dad?" Miku asked. With how strick that man was, even Miku and Len standing two feet close together was a bad thing.

Len frowned. "I think he and Mom are more interesting in the dancing. Besides, remember prom last year?"

Miku silently laughed at the memory. Instead of each of them getting dates, the three had went together and took turns dancing together. Sometimes Rin would dance with Len, Miku would dance with Rin, and Len would dance with Miku. Miku had actually enjoyed dancing with Len, it was a wonderful feeling to her. She couldn't help but wonder how much more wonderful a feeling would it have been if she and Len had confessed to each other before? They had loved each other then, but now their love could separate them.

"What if we do get separated?" Miku asked as she looked up into Len's turquoise eyes.

"I won't let them take me away from you," Len said, and, as if to add meaning to his words, he tightened his grip on Miku.

Miku nervously chewed on her lower lip. "I can't help but feel as if that won't be enough."

Unaware to the two, Lady Megurine was watching from a distance. "Jed," she called.

"Yes, my lady?" Mr. Kagamine said as he left his wife in order to see what Lady Megurine had wanted.

"Look at your son," the lady ordered.

Mr. Kagamine looked to see his son and Miku dancing together. A little too closely together. "You don't suppose they are guilty of breaking the law?" he asked. "The two are indeed close. The fact that they are dancing doesn't surprise me."

"But look at how they stare at each other," Lady Megurine observed. "They have more than just a protector and White Flower relationship, even if they don't know it."

"So what do you suggest?" Mr. Kagamine asked. Truth was he didn't want the two to be separated, but only because of Miku's bloodline and not the close friendship the princess and his son obviously shared. If Miku were just another girl, Mr. Kagamine would have no problem with separation whatsoever.

"What we always do whenever the law is broken," Lady Megurine said flatly.

Miku and Len leaned closer together, almost as if they were going to kiss.

"I believe you may be right," Mr. Kagamine said. He didn't want to be the father of a law breaker, but Mr. Kagamine would rather have the problem end quickly before it grew too big and too well known.

"'May be'?" the lady asked with a hint of a snort. "First thing after tonight we separate your children from the princess and look for new protectors for her."

Mr. Kagamine took a deep breath before speaking. "Understood."

Both had watched as the Miku and Len leaned even closer together, but had turned away as the discussion was over. Had they watched a little longer, they would have seen that Miku and Len weren't leaning in for a kiss, but to rest their foreheads against each other. Resting their foreheads against the other's had always been a sign of affection for them, dating back to their days in Kindergarten. Rin had always joined in, of course, but this time she wasn't around to share the love.

"I feel so short right now," Miku laughed.

"I'm taller than you," Len replied, "so of course you need to stand on your toes."

Just then the lights went out. The room became pitched black and the atmosphere was immediately filled with unease. No screams were heard, but since the room was filled with shapeshifters it was possible that they had all thought of screaming as unnecessary. Miku could feel Len secure his grip on her, as if to prevent from losing her to the darkness. The shuffling of feet echoed in the room, and murmuring soon followed.

"What's going on?" Miku asked in a whisper.

"Hell if I know!" Len answered, a bit annoyed by the situation.

"I can't see anything," Miku said as she held close to Len.

"Don't worry," Len said, "my wolf eyes can handle this kind of darkness. I can't exactly see like I want to, but I can make out shapes and figures."

"Miku! Len!" Rin called as she approached them.

"Rin!" Miku and Len said at the same time.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Rin said as she passed some people. Placing a hand on Len's shoulder she asked, "Len, is that you?"

"Yes, Rin, it's me," Len said as he wrapped his arm around his sister. He felt as if he needed to keep Miku and Rin close to him, and he was going to hold them close no matter what either would say.

"Should we be worried?" Miku asked the twins.

"I don't think so," Rin said. She laughed a little. "Maybe Lady Megurine forgot to pay the electric bill."

"Really Rin?" Len said with annoyance in his voice.

"Well excuse me for trying to lighten the mood," Rin said. It didn't take looking at Rin's face to tell that she was giving her brother an ugly look.

"Maybe we should all just calm down," Miku said to them.

"Fine," Len said. "As long as-"

"Wait," Rin cut him off.

"What? I was-" Len started but was interrupted again.

"I said 'wait'!" Rin ordered. "Do you smell that?"

Miku tried to sniff the air, but then remembered that she didn't have a strong sense of smell like the twins. Rin and Len continued to sniff the air. Miku felt herself tense up due to the situation, and it didn't help that she couldn't tell what Rin was smelling. As time passed Miku's nervousness grew into anxiety, and she held closely to Len. Len tightened his grip on Miku in an attempt to comfort her. He and Rin continued to sniff the air around them. At first it was faint, but soon enough they both had figured it out.

"Vampires!" Rin and Len both shouted at the same time.
