Yuuki looked up at the clock that hung in the Chairman's office. It was now almost time for Day Classes to start and it had only been three hours since Kit had revealed to Yuuki and Zero what she was. After shifting into her natural form, Kit had gone on to explain how she came to be in their realm.
Apparently, as part of her dimension's rules, they are required four times a year to check on the vampire population of the opposite realm. In her realm, vampires have already learned to coexist with every creature and race and though there isn't 'peace', they are closer then what is currently going on in opposite realm. The Blood Realm, as they call it, for the soul reason of the vampire and human conflict. Kit explained to them that Nova Foxes are elected to do this periodical checking up as they are the most peaceful of all races as well as the most qualified. Their senses can alert them to an E level vampire before it changes into the insane blood monster, as their bodies give off a certain pheromone. It was this ability that the Vampire Hunter's organization recruited Kit and several of her kind to help with the task of monitoring the E levels.
Kit also mentioned to them how she found out about Zero's secret. Though the Chairman's friend told her of the Night Class, she never mentioned a word about Zero. When Kit arrived to talk to Chairman Cross, she could immediately smell the particular scent Level E's gave off. Their smell, compared to all other vampires, was different and stronger. This lead Kit to ask the Chairman about the topic and was soon given confirmation on what she had originally been thinking.
Yuuki contemplated all that she was told during the past few hours. It made her head spin and even more tired then she was the day before when she had gone with Zero to do their prefect duties. Now she continued to sit in the office, having been excused from the days classes so that she could absorb the knowledge she was given and to rest. Zero laid across from her on the sofa that Kit originally had occupied, his eyes closed as he thought. Yuuki flopped backwards on the couch, idly playing the necklace she wore around her neck. She could hear the Chairman talking with Kit in another room, but she couldn't make out any of the words they were saying. As she strained to listen, Yuuki realized exactly how tired she was. Her eyelids were getting heavier by the minute and she was falling asleep fast. Yuuki shook her head and tapped her cheeks to try and get herself to stay awake, alerting Zero from his thoughtful trance across from her. The teen sat up and strode over to the other couch, looking down at his partner as she attempted to keep herself awake.
"Yuuki, maybe you should go back to your room and sleep. " Zero crossed his arms over his chest, showing that he was obviously not happy with her having not gone back to her room in the first place.
"I'm fine Zero, really. I just want to stay here in case something happens and Chairman Cross needs us.. " Yuuki tried to hold back the yawn that was stirring in her, but it escaped as she lifted a hand to rub her eyes. With a heavy sigh, Zero uncrossed his arms and slipped them carefully under Yuuki, one under her head and the other under her legs, to carry her back to her dorm room. "Uwaah! Zero, put me down I'll be fine! I'll-- " Zero shook his head and gave her one of his rare smiles, instantly making Yuuki blush and lay silent in her friend's arms, allowing herself to be carried to her room.
