The news of Yuki's death reached the Kuran Estate where Kaname had moved back into. Seiren was addressing the noble vampires of her knowledge of the young girls death. Kaname was still resting whilst the other vampires were downstairs. Aidou's eyes widened. Senri and Rima looked down. Akatsuki voice was slightly husky "and how has Kaname taken the news?" "He has not heard if it as yet. He is still resting" replied Seiren. Takuma lifted his gaze to the staircase that lead to the master bedrooms upstairs, his eyes widened "Kaname!" Kaname had been standing there, listening to every detail that Seiren had been explaining. Ruka ran up and wrapped her arms around him. He stilled in her embrace. He did not say anything nor hugged her back. She pulled away slightly "If there is anything I can do, Lord Kaname?" Kaname nodded "Yes. Seiren, you will make yourself aware of how humans plan funerals and I want you to plan it along with Aidou. Ruka, I want you and Akatsuki go visit Kaien and see if there is anything that needs to be done. Senri and Rima you can help Aidou and Seiren. Takuma…." his voice trailed off. "I will stay by the house Lord Kaname" Takuma finished off Kaname's request for him. Seiren bowed with the answer "M'Lord" Aidou nodded along with Senri and Rima. The other vampires went to do their duties. The house was empty except for Kaname and Takuma. Kaname sat down and Takuma went to see him. "Kaname?" he asked softly. Kaname didn't answer but just shook his head. Takuma led Kaname to his master bedroom and got him settled. It was obvious that Kaname was in shock. He had no idea what to do, where to go, he didn't know whether he should scream or cry or be angry. He was in a state of confusion and right now, he was relying heavily on Takuma. Half way during the day Seiren teleported in Kaname's room, quietly startling Takuma. "How is Lord Kaname?" she asked as she looked over to a sleeping pureblood. In his state of sleep, he was peaceful and unaware of what he had lost. "Resting for now" Takuma replied "Did you find out about the way these funerals are planned?" "Yes. It seems extensive work and I would like everyone to cooperate. We will all adjourn to the dining to go over the plans" Takuma nodded and followed Seiren out of the room, quietly shutting the door behind him.
The noble vampires eventually gathered around the dining room table and set to work with the funeral plans. Kaien came around later that evening to help. He was distraught but remaining strong. He had asked about Kaname but was told that Kaname was still resting and in a state of shock. Everyone was. Even Toga Yagari who had barely anything to do with the young girl.
With the funeral plans given to Cross who would be making phone calls to put everything in action, the vampires adjourned to their dorms. Ruka was feeling slightly depressed so she went to bed with Akatsuki. Aidou hasn't made any provoking remarks and he didn't do it to Ruka. Aidou leant his head against the window and stared out at nothing in particular. Ruka went over to him and hugged him from behind. "come on. It'll be alright. We need to be strong for Lord Kaname's sake" aidou smiled at Ruka's warmth. He can understand why Akatsuki had fallen for Ruka. Underneath her cold guard was someone warm and compassionate. "I know" replied Aidou. Ruka put him to bed before climbing in next to Akatsuki, burying her face in his chest. She scrunched her face up but refused to cry. Akatsuki wrapped his arms around her. "you can cry, you know Ruka. It isn't a crime" he murmured. "I know" she whispered.
Yagari stayed up all night Zero. He took Zero back to his personal home. Away from the academy and everything else. He considered putting Zero in the interrogation room but the boy just wouldn't be able to handle that. He was too fragile. Zero sat up in bed with Yagari sitting in the chair next to him. Yagari looked at Zero. Zero's face was slowly crumbling until the point where he cried. Yagari put his hand to the back of Zero's head and pulled him into his shoulder. Zero wept in his master's shoulder. Yagari held him.
The next day was the day of the funeral. Kaname was escorted by his fellow noble vampires. Each wore a solemn face. Kaien was waiting at the gates. Zero and Yagari weren't attending the service. Yagari said he wanted to keep an eye on Zero who didn't want to attend the funeral as he wouldn't be welcomed. Sayori stood next to Kaien. As Kaname walked up the gate he greeted Kaien and Sayori. "Hello" and "I'm sorry" were the only words he uttered that day. As the school settled down and the night class too, Kaien started the funeral by welcoming everyone. He spoke his eulogy followed by Sayori and then Seiren who was filling in for Kaname.
By the end of the service everyone got up and paid their respects by placing a pink rose by the coffin. Pink candles were lit. As kaname got up, he walked over and instead of placing a flower by the coffin, he bent down and kissed the coffin. It was his last kiss goodbye.
