I hope it's long enough, Princesa de la Luna and thank you for reviewing.

He was certain he was going crazy. Yori kept appearing to him; luckily not during his outing with Takuma. He saw her during class. She didn't say a word, or try to touch him, just stared with a content smile. Kaname looked around, but no one else paid attention to Yori. The instructor didn't say anything. Then she was gone, vanishing right when he decided to reach out to her.
It plagued his mind even after classes. He should have fallen asleep hours ago. The sun was rising. Turning away from the sunrays filtering through the window, he came face to face with Yori. She was dressed in her uniform lying next to him. She sat up to lean over him, leaning close to his lips. He wanted to caress her cheek. She wasn't really here, he knew. If he attempted to touch her…instead he remained unmoving. Yori pecked him on the lips. She did that several times. Since she was there he relaxed, beginning to drift off to sleep.
He woke up startled. Sitting upright, he searched for her. Kaname exhaled. Of course, she's not going to be here. There was the other pureblood standing in a corner of his room though. "I told her not to drive you crazy." He didn't speak, he waited for more. "You drank her blood, so now she has a link to you. Can appear to you, touch you. For your sake, I suggest you give her your blood."
"What will that do?" he questioned.
"How did you feel after drinking her blood?"
Not too different other than a need to fuck her, much like always, except stronger. Reserved in spite of said need, he'd call it making love at that moment. He wouldn't use such words though. "Sexually frustrated, but not like usual."
There was light laugh in reply. That's how Yori feels, the pureblood mused on that, interesting. She wouldn't tell him. "After you feed her your blood things will become clearer. You'll know you're not hallucinating."
He despised taking orders from someone who had hurt Yori previously. "Aren't you going to attack me like Yori?" he asked.
"I was a little upset to learn she was involved with you. I may have overdone it. Whatever she decides to do, I'll accept it."
He contemplated how to reply, but she disappeared. The sun was shining brightly, he saw. Lying back he meant to go to sleep. There was no reason why he had to listen to what some stranger said. He vaguely wondered if Takuma had checked up on the matter he had mentioned last night. Becoming tired of thinking he blacked out.
Takuma was awake during the daytime following a lead on another case Kaname had given him. Ruka and Kain were up to something early this morning. He didn't mind the errand, but it was a bit dull playing babysitter. He spiced it up by pretending to be a detective. He searched the school grounds stealthily, staying out of sight from fan girls and others. He tracked the duo to a deserted infirmary.
Standing in the doorway, he watched. Ruka was speaking in a low tone, Kain stood next to her in silence. In the space between their bodies Takuma saw Aido. His mouth was covered with tape, his arms behind the chair. Probably tied up, he thought. Stepping inside the room he saw Yuki sitting next to Aido. She was free to move and talk. He hadn't expected to see her.
"Everyone put your hands up where I can see them. You're all under arrest," Takuma said in an authoritative tone, using his index finger and thumb to portray a gun. All eyes turned on him. Keeping his finger trained on the criminals, he began to pull curtains aside finding two more suspects: Rima and Shiki. Apparently, there was a lot of information Kaname had failed to include. Reacting fast, Rima pointed the tip of her folded umbrella at his chest. Coming up from behind Shiki grabbed him, an arm round his neck, pointer finger held against Takuma's temple. Takuma raised his left hand to his ear, pinky and thumb extended. "Back up. I repeat—"
Takuma's hand was yanked away in Shiki's strong grip. Shiki said, not into the role verbally, "I'll buy you a cake, so shut up."
"An honest detective cannot be bought," he said resolutely. "What kind of cake?"
"Any," Shiki replied.
"Deal," he said. Shiki released him. His eyes roaming the room, he asked, "What are we doing?"
Ruka explained, they had wanted to enlist Aido's help to give Yori a couple of tips in seducing Kaname. Ruka had been forbidden from it as had Yuki, but Aido—the closest person to Yori—had not.
Undoing the ropes binding his wrists and ripping the tape off, he asked, "Why aren't you with Yori-chan?" Scowling angrily, on the verge of tears, Aido held in a yell of pain. Touching his lips gingerly, he pointed behind him to the windows.
Yori and Aido were walking to the cafeteria for breakfast when they were stopped by the Kiryu twins. They were led into the nurse's office, finding it occupied by Yuki, Ruka and Kain. Yori was pulled out of the room by Zero via the window. Utterly confused because Hanabusa was being tied to a chair and Ichiru—assigned to guard the door—headed out mumbling, "Maria will want to see this…" Zero informed her that they were setting a trap. She still didn't understand, or know who it was for until later.
She found it hard not to laugh upon hearing the voices in the room. She was trembling, keeping her giggles quiet. Yori didn't hear her name mentioned because of Zero. He looked so disgruntled by the dialogue she gave in to laughter. A shadow falling over the two they raised their heads. Ichijo was leaning his arms on the window sill, staring down at them. He took a deep breath then exhaled. He said, compromising, "Only today, but first I will perform a skit arguing against your seduction lessons."
Once Zero and Yori clambered into the room, Takuma turned to Aido and said, "You're going to help me." His eyes held a mischievous glint. He proceeded to whisper conspiratorially to Shiki and Rima in a huddle. The tall brunette dashed off quickly returning with items he kept well hidden in his arms. Closing a curtain to seal himself and Takuma from view he went to work.
Rima was asked to set up the audience and set. She arranged beds in a semi circle. She asked everyone to sit quietly and patiently on the beds, due to the lack of chairs. Around this time Ichiru returned with Maria. He was confused about what was happening. He had thought there was going to be a lesson on romance not a play.
She pulled one more bed away from its place to the center of the room. Moving on to Aido, she touched up his makeup. Done quickly she told him to stand or sit anywhere within the audience's view. He stood by the window as Rima took a seat and Shiki pulled the curtain aside to reveal Takuma wearing a dark brown wig and a black shirt. The buttons were undone to reveal his upper body. He touched his fake hair with a pained expression. Aido yelled angry, "Who the hell are you supposed to be? You look like you're in pain?"
Takuma's acting focus was lost at his comment until Shiki spoke up as narrator. "Scene 1 Act 1 takes place in Kaname-sama's room with Yori-chan. She has just started a fiery lust within his heart that she now wants put out. It's too late. The fire is out of control and he'll have his way."
In character once more, Takuma neared Aido resting his hand on Aido's waist. He leaned his forehead against Aido's, his eyebrow creasing. Aido bristled at the contact, but Takuma ignored it. "I'm at my limit and now I will have you," he said, bringing up his hands to Aido's shoulders caging him in.
Incensed, Aido pushed at Kaname wanna be's chest. Takuma didn't budge. He moved back a bit, then leaned in, grabbing Aido's chin for a kiss. Mere inches away Aido covered Takuma's mouth with his right hand. Not to be deterred Takuma ran a hand up his leg causing Aido to lose his temper.
Forcing Takuma off him, he balled up his fist to punch him on the mouth. Dodging the attack, he embraced him, and dragged a flailing Aido to the nearly forgotten bed. He had to admit Aido landed some good hits on him. Tossing him onto the bed and climbing over him, Takuma touched and groped at Aido's body. Not to be taken advantage of, he fought back his legs kicking, arms maintaining some distance.
However, he let his defenses slip because Takuma captured his arms, palms down. He twisted Aido's body to lay on his stomach. Whispering in his ear, he said, "You're wearing boxer briefs. Sexy."
"Shut up," Aido muttered, pinned beneath Takuma.
Shiki cut in. "End of Scene 1 Act 1 because the rest is too graphic to act out. If allowed to continue it wouldn't be acting anymore."
The audience was silent. Half were horrified while the other half continued chuckling. Ichiru and Maria, plus most of the men had a haunted look. It was wrong in several ways. Most of the girls were amused. Aido was dressed in drag after all. They all forgot the point of the skit. Takuma, now standing, his arms crossed, cleared his throat. Tone serious, he said, "I hope you understand, Yori-chan. This might happen if you endeavor to seduce Kaname."She nodded.
"But if you're willing to take a risk despite the warning," he said, a finger to his lips and his other hand over his crotch, "You can use your mouth to pleasure him, right, everyone?"
It was the wrong thing to say. He received punches from Yuki and Ruka, not to mention glares aimed in his direction. Seduction according to the two girls meant a more roundabout technique, such as: using another man to make Kaname jealous and dancing lessons. Takuma shook his head at the simplicity of their plans. The first didn't seem like a good plan for seducing; anger someone, yes. The latter had potential. Surprisingly, it was Yuki's plan.
Leaving out unnecessary details Takuma informed Kaname of that morning's occurrence. Yuki and Ruka were caught conspiring, but not to seduce anyone. Due to the event H.A. was having they wanted to teach Yori how to dance. It appealed to all of the other nobles, himself included. Kaname didn't seem suspicious that he was lying. He agreed. Yuki and Ruka could have their way this time. Finished reporting Takuma left.
Next time he should send Seiren with or in place of Takuma. Recently he had been asking many favors from his friend. He also suspected his friend was leaving information out, which was why he'd allowed the whole dance thing. In a few days, but before that—quite worrying and urgent—he needed to meet with Yori.
It was somewhat troublesome working out a way to get rid of Zero and Ichiru, after school. He let them sleep over with their respective girlfriends and they left. Cross was gone at his request. This was a risky situation, the two of them alone.
Shaking his head, he stepped into Yori's room. Sitting next to her, brushing his knuckles against her cheek, he called to her, "Wake up, Yori." She stirred, and he leaned in for a kiss. Her eyes opened, a hand reaching up to run through his hair. "Kaname," she spoke against his lips. She didn't say anymore, kissing him back.
Biting down hard on his tongue twice he felt her resist the blood she tasted. Eyes fully open, focused on her he kissed her more forcefully. Those beautiful brown eyes glowed crimson in the dark night. Certain Yori had swallowed some of it he loosened his hold. Breathing hard, she stared at him. "I wanted to make it fair. I drank your blood," he explained. And I wanted to know if she was telling the truth. Now he had confirmed it. Settling down next to her above the blankets he went to sleep.
