Second chapter guys!!! as always, reviews are highly appreciated!

Rin watched Kain's retreating back from the safety of the shadows, pressing herself to the wall as he left. Once he was gone, her composed mask fell apart as tears slowly fell down her cheeks.

Dusk

The courtyard of the Cross Academy was filled with barely suppressed chattering girls; all looking passed the prefects who held them in check. The gate to the Moon Dorm clicked softly, raising an eardrum-breaking screech from the congregation of girls who gathered there to glimpse the students of the Night Class.

Yuuki was suddenly pushed forward, crashing to the ground as the first of the vampires appeared. Slowly getting up from her knees, Yuuki heard a low, haughty laugh of a woman emerging from the dorms.

"Well hello, prefect. I thought you were supposed to restrain the Day Class, not the ground!"

Yuuki got up, wincing as she stood to look the person who insulted her in the eye. Ugh… What is with this vampire-woman anyway?! Yuuki thought, looking Rin in the eye before looking her up and down.

"Your refusal to wear the Academy's Night Class Uniform must be reported to the chairman.Again, Rin." Yuuki added force to the last two words, refusing to break beneath the strength and coldness of the returned gaze. She did in the end though, looking down at the ground, head spinning from staring into those icy eyes.

A haughty chuckle came from Rin, who stood gazing down at Yuuki with those heartless eyes. She wore tight black breeches with black-heeled boots, and a soft blue linen blouse with an embroidered collar that matched the color of her icy eyes. Her outfit made her stand out; it accented her body well, the tight breeches accenting the glamour of her slim but muscular legs and the unfathomable black of her hair, while the light blouse seemed to float about her like a fluid, lightly hugging her moderate breasts and curving waist and hips; the embroidered pattern of spirals subtly copying her black curls, while the color sharpened her gaze.

The rest of the vampires strode out of the Moon Dorms, gathering around Rin and Yuuki as the Day Class girls were forced to go back to their dorms. There was stillness among the vampires as they waited for Yuuki's reaction. The air was tense, eyes of vampire and human flickering from face to face.

Zero arrived, pitching his gaze against Rin's, like a shield placed around Yuuki. The circle of vampires suddenly broke, allowing passage to their dorm leader, Kaname, who strode towards Rin with a slow, menacing, and purposeful stride. He gazed down at Yuuki with kind eyes, and asked a question filled with kindness towards her, but threat to Rin.

"Has Rin offended you, Yuuki?" he said, lifting his face slightly to look Rin in the eye. Rin, unlike the other vampires, held under his gaze; unflinching and dangerously calm, like a blade still sheathed.

Yuuki blushed, suddenly flustered and embarrassed. Even if Rin exchanged insults with her, Yuuki hated getting people into trouble. Especially with Kaname.

"Well- uh… um... Not really, Kaname-sempai. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

At Yuuki's nod, Kaname seemed content. As Yuuki and Zero turned to make sure the Day Class had gone back to their dorms, the vampires remained still, knowing that this confrontation had yet to end.

Kain stood by his twin's side, frowning slightly but still keeping his emotions hidden. Rin had messed with Yuuki again. Didn't she know how many times Aidou had been striken across the face just because he had offended Yuuki? If she did she obviously didn't show any sign of caring.

Kain watched Zero and Yuuki leave, wondering what Kaname would do this time. Beside him, Aidou fidgeted, probably thinking the same thoughts. As Kain stood, refusing to look at Rin, he was suddenly drawn through his memories of his encounter last dawn; the words Rin spoke ringing through his head.

"We do not have the same reasons. Nor do we have the same loyalties."

His thoughts were broken when there was an eruption of movement from Kaname and Rin, gasps and mutterings rising from the on looking vampires.

"Hanabusa, what happened?"

Kain's twin looked back at him, a shaken expression on his face.

"What happened?" Kain repeated the question. Hanabusa refused to answer, and Kain turned to Ruka instead, who was wearing an expression of pure outrage.

"Ruka, what happened?"

"Rin."

Obviously Ruka was not going to give an elaboration, so Kain was forced to see the scene for himself. The scene was perplexing, outraging, chaotic, rebellious; turning Kain's insides as he saw the cause for uproar among the vampires.
