Kit had finished the rest of the prefects chores that night, knowing that the two teens probably needed some time to think and talk things over. It seemed a lot more quiet now that they weren't patrolling the grounds as they did each night. Kit was also bothered by things being pushed forward as they were. She knew that Zero would end up falling during her stay at the school, but she didn't think that it would come so soon. To top everything off, the Chairman had announced another school dance that was to be held the same day she had asked the silver haired half-breed to meet her in her room.

"What a bother.. I can't resist a good dance either. I suppose business will have to be taken care of before I attend it. " Kit mumbled to the fading night sky as she made her way back toward the gates to the school, the chiming of the bells telling her that class had just ended. She lifted her head as the Night Class began to file out, a few stopping to wonder where she was before heading back to the dorms. The last to come up to her was Kaname, steely eyed as he always was, an obvious frown across his face.

"Where is Yuuki and Kiriyu? " Kaname's eyes were the only thing that moved as he looked at the surrounding area, seeing neither prefect.

Kit looked behind her at the two male students that stood there, waiting for Kaname to follow. " …. "

Kaname realized when Kit said nothing that she had wanted his two followers to leave. "Aidou, Kain. Will you two go ahead? I'll be there in a moment. "

"Of course Kaname. " Aidou glared at Kit a moment before turning to leave, Kain slowly walking after him.

"Those two never give him any breathing room unless he asks it seems. How incredibly annoying. " Kit waited until she no longer heard the pair's footsteps, lifting her eyes to watch Kaname's expressions. She had to choose her words carefully, knowing full well that the two had fallen asleep in one another's arms, but that it was wiser for the pure-blood not to know. "The two are in Yuuki's dorm talking. There was a change in my plans and they'll have to be moved ahead to this coming weekend. "

"You're not making any sense Kit. What do you mean your 'plans have been changed'? " Kaname did not like the tone in her voice, or the way that she seemed to be dodging what she was really thinking. Kaname was not stupid, he knew that Zero had fed off Yuuki again. Everyone in the Night Class could smell blood.

"Zero has started to secrete the pheromone of a falling Level E. He has roughly two weeks before he falls completely, and as such my second task has come sooner then was planned. " Kit adjusted the cuffs on her uniform, not wanting to make eye contact with the tall brunette at the moment.

"What does that have to do with Yuuki or Kiriyu not being here and talking in Yuuki's dorm room? " He was getting impatient. The wind was whirling around him faster as she kept dodging him, making him wish he could rip the words from her mind.

"I'm sure you know that Zero fed off Yuuki tonight, but what I said about Zero had everything to do with that. I had followed Yuuki when she ran after him, holding his chest from hunger pangs. I hid in the corner before he started, realizing I could smell the pheromone. Now, I know that Yuuki has designated a stopping point for Zero, and he always stopped before.. " Kit breathed deeply, her head tilting she spoke, lifting a hand to tuck a bit of her hair behind her ear. "Zero passed that point and kept draining Yuuki, almost to a dangerous level. He only stopped because I had wretched the boy from her neck, knocking him unconscious with a pressure point application. I healed Yuuki afterward, but the shock of the situation was something I could not spell away. "

"Is Yuuki alright? She's not traumatized or anything? " Kaname looked concerned for the first time in the few weeks Kit had known him, making his eyes shift to a very sad shade of their normal brown. The Kaname that stood before her now was not the same pure-blood of immense intimidation that she had first met.

"Yuuki.. " Kit lifted her head and closed her eyes a moment, searching the many thoughts and dreams of the students on campus. When she found Yuuki's she continued, " Yuuki is fine. She's a little shaken, but there is no long term damage. However.. " Kit gave Kaname a look as she took a step forward, her arms moving to cross in front of her. "It's none of my business what you do Kaname, but please be careful with that girl. "

Kaname straightened, grumbling as he walked passed the girl, shooting a warning look over his shoulder, "I don't know what you're talking about Kit, but thank you for your assistance. Good night. "

"Somehow I know that won't end well. If I was a permanent resident here it might be cause for concern. " Kit shook her head and started the walk toward the Chairman's office, thinking over the night's events and the weeks that she had spent with everyone here. She knew she was going to miss it, but this was not her place. She did not belong in this realm, or in the business of these humans and vampires. She was there to complete her tasks and go home.

"Home.. I didn't think that word could make me so sad.. "

Kit arrived at Chairman Cross' office just in time to see a rather giddy Yuuki leave, heading in the opposite direction. In her elation, the young prefect didn't seem to notice Kit, bolting back toward her dorm. Whatever it was that made her so happy must've been pretty immense, as Kit was right next to the door when Yuuki had left. Kit rapped the door lightly with her knuckles, listening as the Chairman bid her to enter.

"Ah, Ms. Valentina, you are just the person I wanted to see. " The Chairman was grinning widely, slightly teary eyed as he sat behind his desk, sipping his tea.

"I am Chairman Cross? " Kit seemed sort of puzzled. She knew that Yuuki had just been in here, but what could the girl have told her adopted father to make him want to see her?

"Yes indeed. Yuuki has already told me of the events that have passed in the last few hours and they have requested you take over their prefects duties while Zero and Yuuki spend time together. " The Chairman was grinning wider now, having set down his tea, he made his way over to Kit and gave her a big hug, making the red head wish she hadn't come after all.

"Ah.. Chairman, I understand it's important to them, but even for me that task is a little daunting. " Kit could imagine using any of the energy she needed to save up for next weekend's task and not being able to complete it like she needed to. "I've had to move my second task way ahead of schedule because of Zero, and it'll need to be done this weekend. "

" Hmm.. Well, I suppose excusing Zero and Yuuki from their classes will be alright, so long as they are able to take care of the Day Class students when classes change over? " Chairman Cross tilted his head as he spoke to Kit, giving her the most ridiculous set of puppy dog eyes she had ever seen. "And you will take care of the Night Class… yeeeeees? "

Kit hung her head and sighed, her hands sifting through her hair as she grumbled, "Ugh, I don't know how I let myself get into situations like this.. Alright Chairman Cross. I'll take over their Night Class duties completely. I just hope no one suspects anything. "

"No worries my dear! I'll make sure Kaname takes care of the other students. I just want Yuuki and Zero to have quality time. "

"Quality time before what, Chairman? "

"Well before your task, Kit. You never did tell me what it was, only that it involved Zero. I assumed that you were going to have to kill Zero once he began to fall.. " The Chairman looked down as he spoke, reaching up to grip the scarf he wore.

Kit didn't have the heart to say anything otherwise to him, he seemed so set in his mind and she had learned that the Chairman almost never changed his mind when he got like that. "I'll take my leave now Chairman Cross, and I'll see you later. "

"I'll see you soon my dear, rest well! "
