THE NEXT DAY

I was woken up by Kaname knocking on the door to Hanabusa and my bedroom.

"Hurry up and get to the lobby," he said through the door.

I groaned in response and heard his feet move onto the next room.

I shook Hanabusa, who was still asleep. When he groaned in protest I told him the same thing that Kaname told me.

We both got out of the bed and walked out of the door. Closing the door was the first time that I had really looked at the room. I was astounded by the things that were there. Typical Hanabusa.

In the lobby, everyone was sitting, or standing, looking, and most likely feeling, tired.

"What is it that you needed, Kaname?" I asked after Hanabusa and I were seated on the couch in front of Akatsuki.

"Seiren has something to tell us," Kaname replied.

We all looked to Seiren who was standing behind Kaname.

"I heard that the disciplinary committee are going to do a surprise dorm inspection sometime today.

"A surprise dorm inspection?" Hanabusa yelled.

Kaname stared at him with a blank look on his face. "Very well then. Thank you so much Seiren."

Seiren bowed and walked back to her room.

Ruka was leaning against the railing of the stairs. "What a pain," she said. "There's no predicting what the headmaster is going to do next."

Senri was who was leaning against the sofa opposite us. "I don't mind," he said monotone. "It's not like I've got something here that I don't want them to see."

"True," Takuma said sitting opposite us. "But, when it's spur of the moment, you can see what the norm for the place is really like.

"Do you mean like the pair of briefs you haven't picked up and are still lying on the floor, Takuma?"

I leaned my head against Hanabusa's shoulder ad closed my eyes, listening to Takuma laugh.

"Those are fine," he said airily. "They're made from the finest silk you can buy and sown by the best tailor around."

I felt Hanabusa stretch beneath me and heard him yawn.

"Those briefs can be left anywhere and I still wouldn't be embarrassed."

I opened my eyes to look at him incredulously. "That's not the point."

I sensed Akatsuki lean in close to Hanabusa and I.

"Hey," he said. "Hanabusa."

"Hm?" Hanabusa asked tiredly.

Akatsuki nodded upstairs and walked off.

Hanabusa got up from the chair and offered me his hand.

I shook my head and gestured for him to follow his cousin. I laid my head on the back of the chair and fell asleep again.

I was woken up a short while later by someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Kaname leaning over me. I raised my eyebrow at him.

"I wanted to speak to Hanabusa to see if he was following regulations," he replied to my unspoken question. He turned his back to me and got down onto one knee. "I also thought that you might like a lift back to your room as you look like you are about to fall asleep again."

I got up, wrapped my arms around his neck and snuggled into the crook of his neck. He put his hands beneath my knees and stood up. I mumbled into his neck before falling asleep.

I was woken up, again, when I felt someone using their powers close by. I opened my eyes slightly to find Hanabusa on the floor holding what looked like broken light glass.

"I can add these to my collection too," Hanabusa said before realizing that Kaname was still in the doorway.

Akatsuki starts to leave the room but Kaname stops him. "Can you take Tani to my room so she can get a bit more sleep please?" he asked.

"Of course, Lord Kaname," Akatsuki replied before taking me off of Kaname's back and taking me to the room he was told to take me to.
