Bored eyes watched the scene inside the headmaster's office. Arms lazily cross over her chest as she listens in on the conversation inside. It was nothing she hadn't been briefed on.

"'Pacifist ideology'?" she questioned, a mirthless grin crossing her lips. "'Bring an end to the dark, shared history between vampires and humans'? 'Bring harmony between our species'?"

As the Level-E left the office, Asae turned her back to the two humans left in the room. She deftly jumped from the upper tree's branch and landed easily into a crouch. Standing up, she dusted off her school uniform. Her ears perked as she heard the window above her open. She barely had time to hide before the brunette teen landed on the ground.

'Why not?' the ravenette girl thought, silently following her as she ran. It didn't seem like she had any one destination in mind. However, when she stopped and leaned against an archway, the amber-eyed teen narrowed her gaze. 'Of course they would be out at this hour.'

"Oh, hello," the blonde greeted. "Thank you, for all your hard work."

After a quick bow, she ran off once more.

"Yuki is very interesting. There's not a single girl in the night class like her."

"No. And, for someone so used to the dark," the taller male started, eyes glowing red. She was sure he was looking straight at herself as he spoke. "She's rather blind in sight."

"You know, everyone likes living here, but.. Don't forget. Because of a request we received from you, a Pureblood, we're abiding by the rules of the humans, but just barely."

"I know that, Ichijo."

Asae scowled as Kaname walked away. She had enough of their foul scent, so she took off after Yuki. She wanted to know the Disciplinary Committees' schedule and route. She needed that information.

Nothing. Asae had learnt absolutely nothing new the night before. She tapped her pencil with irritation as she glared at the sleeping brunette who was holding up the class lesson. How could such a naive girl be in charge of all these students' safety? Any one of those creatures could easily overpower her on her own. But, then again..

Her golden eyes flitted over to the silver-haired boy who was also napping up in the corner of the room.

She guessed that the girl wasn't alone per se, but she wasn't in good company. The Hunter's Association had warned her about what he was, what he would become. And, when the time came that he could no longer quell his thirst, Yuki would likely be the first he would drink from. And who would save her, then?

Of course, that was only if he would live that long. That was one of her many tasks assigned to her: assess Kiryu's threat level, terminate if necessary. A mission she would be pleased to handle.

"Hold on, Zero! What are you doing?"

Yuki was pulled away by her pale peer, both leaving the vampires to tend to the girls and those of their kind that broke the rules. As soon as they were far enough away, those auburn eyes turned to the trees.

"You can come out now," Kaname stated.

Asae stepped clear of her cover, nose wrinkled in disgust.

"I thought I smelled something atrocious."

"Heh, I could say the same thing, vampire."

The two held each other's gaze, both very clearly hating who they were looking at. The blonde male turned to his orange-haired acquaintance.

"Who's that?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't look like Lord Kaname likes her.."

"What business do you have here?"

Asae smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know?" Her expression returned to its serious countenance. "His shot may have missed the stupid one, but I promise that if I had gotten to him first, there would be no doubt of his demise. Keep your kind in check, or the Hunter's Association will do it for you."

And then she was gone.

Hanabusa seethed. "Who does she think she is?! She can't threaten Lord Kaname like that! I'll ki- eh.."

His rant trailed off as the Pureblood shot him a warning stare, making him gulp and remember he had royally pissed the head vampire off. His punishment wouldn't be kind.

Short chapter, but I promise a longer one next time! Hope you are enjoying.
