Yuuki stared blankly at the Chairman as he walked back into the crowd, leaving the quartet to stand amidst the mass of students that were preparing for the final song of the dance. The boys that hadn't gotten up the courage to ask a girl to dance had finally found it somewhere within themselves and were now making their way onto the dance floor as well. It made the young prefect smile as she watched all the couples getting ready and enjoying themselves so much, knowing that despite the small amount of time she wanted to throttle Zero and then wonder if he would live, she had done so as well.

Now as the conductor moved about his music sheet, Yuuki realized that Kit and Hokaiju were leaving. Turning to face the pair, she moved to grab Kit's hand. "You guys aren't staying for the last dance? "

Kit turned her head as the small hand of the female prefect grasped hers, smiling softly to the brunette. "I think I'm done for tonight Yuuki. After my quick dance just a bit ago, and the events of this evening, I am rather worn out. " Taking a step forward, Kit lowered her voice so that only Yuuki could hear, though the two vampires within her direct vicinity could as well. "I may be semi-immortal, but that doesn't mean I don't get tired. I need my rest too you know. " Kit grinned as she took the same step, but backward this time, watching as Yuuki nodded.

To her immediate left, Zero was considering her with his bright silver eyes, though it was not the same as it had been all these weeks before. The teen's eyes were now more accepting, and softer as they gazed at Kit, telling the red head with words unspoken that he trusted her fully and that he was extremely grateful. "We'll see you in the Chairman's office after the dance. "

Nodding, Kit just continued to smile as she turned to leave, taking Hokaiju's hand in her own. The pair left the hall without saying another word, leaving Yuuki and Zero alone in the same spot the Chairman had left them in.

"Well, I believe this is our last dance tonight Ms. Cross. "

Zero's words startled Yuuki slightly as she looked quickly up at him, noting the smile that spread across his lips at the scare he had given her. Though he was right, all Yuuki could think about was how this was not going to be their last dance ever, and that if she had anything to say about it, they'd have many more after it. "Yes, it is, at least for tonight. "

The smile that Yuuki gave Zero made his stomach fill with excited butterflies. He'd spent so much time with her recently because he thought his last moments were coming, and now that he knew he had more, he realized that he could get to know even more about the lovely brunette that stood before him, and enjoy the time she offered him even more. Pulling her to him, Zero sighed as he slipped his arms around Yuuki's small frame to hug her, feeling slightly giddy as she did the same. The moment would've lasted till the end of time had the conductor's rapping of his baton on his stand not brought Zero back to his senses.

Taking a step backward, Zero positioned one hand at Yuuki's waist, while the other held one of her hands. As the music began, the slight smile on the silver haired teen lips spread, watching the blush that formed on Yuuki's delicate cheeks. The music that the conductor had chosen was soft and slow, allowing the pair to move gracefully together as though they had practiced for this particular dance for many nights. Zero swayed slowly to one side, using the leverage that he had on Yuuki's waist to pull her to the same side, spinning her slightly as his long legs kept him on balance with a quick sliding back step.

Yuuki was slightly surprised at how graceful Zero was, though she chastised herself for forgetting that she had just spent the whole night dancing with him. Though the song was a little on the slow side, the way Zero lead the dance and kept them in time with the melody made it seem like the music was playing much faster. The hand that held her own gave her a squeeze, recapturing her attention when it seemed like Yuuki had begun to daydream a little. With a soft giggle, she squeezed back, letting her tall partner know that she was still with him.

The two continued to dance gracefully among the other couples, enjoying the time they knew they would have together, and the exhilaration that even the slow dance was giving them, completely oblivious to the menacing stare they were getting from a set of deep brown eyes in the far corner of the room. The tall brunette stood silently where he was, positioned behind a pillar that lead to an open terrace, the wind outside behind him blowing his hair violently, though he did not seem to notice. His eyes were fixed on Yuuki, and the disgrace that was dancing with her, and how happy the girl looked with him.

"Kaname, it's rude to stare you know. "

Kaname tilted his head to the side, glaring at the red head that stood behind him. She always seemed to pop up whenever he wanted to be alone, and always somehow seemed to know he was brooding or being moody. "What do you want Kit. "

"Well, I couldn't help but notice that you were staring daggers at those two, and how you left without saying much earlier tonight. " Kit took a step backward, placing her hands behind her to lift herself up to sit on the marble railing that was the border for this particular terrace.

"This is not the time or place to be discussing such matters. Besides, I don't see how it's any of your business. " Kaname turned his attention back to Yuuki and Zero, his eyes narrowing just slightly.

"It may not be my business, but was it not you who said you want nothing more for her to be happy? " Kit crossed her legs as she got comfortable, tilting her head slightly.

Turning to face the red head fully now, Kaname took the few steps toward Kit in quick strides, his eyes glinting in the pale moonlight. "How do you know what I said to her that day? You were no where to be seen. "

"Just because I can't be seen doesn't mean that I can't hear. Besides, I have the handy ability of reading minds if you forgot. " Kit giggled at the confused look on Kaname's face, trying to register if he was actually hearing Kit's voice without her lips moving, or if he was just crazy.

"Oh you heard right, and though you aren't telepathic, you can talk with me as though you were. Just think what you want to say in your mind, this way no one eaves drops. "

"I suppose I did forget that you can read minds, but what does that have to do with Yuuki? " Kaname watched with curiosity as the smile upon Kit's lips faded, dropping to what seemed like a very unsatisfied frown.

"There isn't much around this campus I don't know Kaname, and I'm sure I don't have to go into detail for you to figure out what I'm talking about. " Kit's eyes flickered as she stared at the pure-blood, making him take an unsteady step backward.

" That was for her own good. You have to understand why it has been kept from her. "

" I do understand Kaname, it was a very sad set of events, but if you want Yuuki to be happy she has to be given the choice and be allowed to decide which path she takes. You love her dearly I know, " Kit watched with slight amusement as Kaname looked down suddenly, his eyes closing. " but you and I both know that this spell only lasts so long, and soon she will have nightmares. "

Kaname balled his hands into fists at his sides, lifting his head as he turned his back to Kit, staring ahead of him at nothing in particular. " There's only one way I know of to keep those nightmares from happening, but I doubt she wants that fix. "

Kit nodded, though to herself mostly as Kaname could not see, her fingers moving slowly over the cool marble surface of the rail she sat on. " I can help with that, though my assistance will only be needed depending on her choice. I suggest that you come next week when it's time for Hokaiju and I to leave. "

" When will you be leaving? " Kaname turned to face Kit again, only to find that she was not there. Glancing around quickly, the pure-blood found no trace of her on the terrace, or on the ground below, her scent also being lost to the wind.

" It won't be until late evening Kaname, but try to keep in mind who's decision this is. 'Till then. "

Kaname sighed as his mind now fell silent to all but his own thoughts and the sound coming from the dance as it now ended. The students all clapped and thanked the conductor and his orchestra, slowly starting to leave afterward. Kaname could only watch as Yuuki took Zero's hand, being led by the silver haired vampire back to their respective rooms. It made his heart hurt and to his surprise, a lone tear broke through and spilled down his cheek, making the pure-blood curse under his breath and quickly wipe it away before jumping backward off the balcony to the ground below and into the night.

A/N: A quick and impromptu addition to chapter ten, as I realized from a review from one of my readers that there was a bit lacking from it. Kaname's disappearance needed some adding to, as well as I never wrote a dance for Yuuki and Zero. Well here we go. Hopefully this part turned out alright. Part 3 to come soon!
