"It's been over a week." Kaien Cross stated with a sigh taking his glasses down and placing them over his large oak desk.
"Almost two weeks to be precise." Yagari added.
"Eleven days to be exact." Zero who was leaning against the wall right across from the headmaster's table added with a snort.
And Kaito and Jinmu just stood by the door. They made no effort make any sort of comment on the current matter.
It has been eleven days since Kaname Kuran once more disappeared this time with Aiyora by almost killing one of the hunters in duty.
"The search party has once more returned with no good news." Jinmu informed breaking the long silence. "At this point we are not sure what to make of Miss Aiyora Roy situation. She could be alive or even be devoured by Kaname Kuran."
"She is absolutely fine!" an angry Yagari exclaimed slamming his fist on the headmaster's desk. "We all know nothing is going to happen to her in the first place as long that worm is with her. Then why waste our energy sending our search party after her?" Losing his patience this time Yagari shot up from his chair and this time slammed both his fists upon the table and charged the legendary 'vampire without fangs.'
"What exactly are you trying to do Mr. President? Why are you trying to bring the trouble back into this academy once more? We all know the moment that girl steps into this academy that bastard Kuran will follow…"
It is true, Yagari did have a point but from where Kaien Cross was seeing it is an entirely different story. To think of it properly it was only was only him who properly covered with Kaname Kuran and seen him up close. And what he saw was not normal especially the unusual dark gleam of his eyes which reflected quite insanity.
Situations are different now after the miscarriage Kaname trusts no one that Cross is well aware off. It also took a different turn as Yuki decided to step up pushing past her old feelings for her brother. She wanted genuinely wanted to help Kaname with hopes of repenting for that hideous act but it brought a rather negative result than positive one since no one predicted Aiyora's over hearing and mental breakdown. It actually made it all worse including Yuki's image in Kaname's eyes; making him actually think she did it all intentionally. Though he never expressed his thoughts out loud but it was written all in his eyes, something that many will not be even able to notice.
Cross made several attempt to have decent conversation with Kaname hoping to clear out the miss understanding. But in every conversation Kaname acted quite abnormally calm thus leaving Kaien Cross in quite a messy situation.
"It truly hurts to see your loved ones suffer…when it is indeed not that fault to being with."
It was what Kaname Kuran said to him while helplessly standing outside Aiyora cabin when they put up a strong spell to prevent him from going anywhere near her. Now that he recalls this line over and over fear crawls through his skin as he tries to recall what this line actually might mean. Was it him just expressing his sadness or was it some sort of warning?
He is not sure what to expect from this situation, but his past experience tells Kaien Cross that the academy would have been far safer if Aiyora was residing.
"Aiyora's presence here comes with a guarantee that the grounds of this Cross Academy are safe from the wrath of Kaname Kuran." The president of the Hunters Association and the headmaster of the Academy Kaien Cross stated in a form voice.
"Kaname Kuran will not proceed forwards as long that girl stands before him." This line got all eyes in the room focused on him.
"In Kaname-kun's eyes Yuki is the enemy now and everything she holds dear is probably his next target. And if I am not mistaken he is not going to go down without a fight...which can only mean one thing..."
There was no need for the legendary hunter complete his sentence all present in the room was aware where this is actually going.
"Tighten the security around the moon dorms, and Zero," the headmaster called out the silver haired hunter getting his full attention on him. "I want you to be near Yuki keep a close eye on her surroundings."
In response to that Zero Kiryu just walked out of the room like he does not give a damn about the Kuran Princess but hunters left behind knew exactly what he was about to do.
Even though this is a time of crisis but a fatherly side of Kaien Cross tried to see it differently. He hopes this as a time the both Yuki and Zero might be able to utilize to heal each other's broken heart. It's a time when they need each other the most and ironically fate too is working its way to bring as much closer to the other as possible.
…
It was almost early hours of dawn when the sound of the knock interrupted the headmaster Kaien Cross's train of thoughts. With piles of untouched flies still on his table prevented him to return to his chamber for the night. What shocked him most was the knock on the door. Not everyone is awake at these hours…unless it's someone from the night class…
"Come in."
The wooden double-door opened slowly and to double the amount of his shock it was Sara Shirabuki, Takuma Ichijo and another figure that he could not quite place.
"Headmaster Cross…May we come in?" Sara politely asked for the permission.
"Yes please." Cross responded not taking his eyes of the third figure on Sara's right side wrapped in dark navy overcoat. His black hair gracefully cascading over his shoulders. Ironically his hairstyle was quite similar to Kaname Kuran. Though a different face but the cutting of his face structure was also sort of to the head of the Kuran family. But similarity in terms of face was more like…no it was his deep green eyes that was more like…it was so familiar but he just could not pin point.
"I can see that you had quite a pleasant trip." Cross added.
"It was great indeed." Sara responded with her fake smile of kindness. "Besides I have found a friend who would very much want to support the cause of your pacifist ideology." She pointed towards male on her right.
Kaien's cross eyes once more focused on the male Sara was pointing at.
"I feel honoured to have more young vampires like you support my ideology Mr…" Headmaster paused realising he has yet to ask for the male's name.
"Call me Akiho Hanadagi!"
Headmaster's eyes widens. It was like the missing pieces of puzzles were all falling into its pieces. All recent actions started to make sense including how forcefully, almost physically fighting, risking her health Kaname whisked Aiyora out of the academy.
"So you are-" Headmaster gets cut off mid-way with the young male interrupting him in between.
"Yes I am exactly who you think I am."
"Aiyora…?"
"Is my younger sister." He added with a smirk. "She is the child who was born to become my bride."
It is as if matters could not get any worse than this!
