Shiki POV

"Um, how do you do this again?"

"You need to times the three to both numbers."

"But what about this one?"

"You times it by the number you got with the others."

"Uh…"

"Want me to show you again?"

"If it's not too much trouble…"

I couldn't help but smile a little as I watched Rima and Yuki. Turns out, Rima's a better teacher than Aidou since she has more patience then him making it easier for Yuki to study.

Besides, it was a good distraction from what's been going on. She still had nightmares when she slept, so much so that I'm staying with her in her room and Ruka with Akatsuki and Aidou with Ichijo.

"Are you going to the Ball Rima?" Yuki asked.

"I don't know, a certain someone hasn't asked me to go yet," I blinked as Rima glanced over at me from her table. I hadn't bothered to ask because I thought she would want to use that time to rest…guess I was wrong.

"Do you to go with me?" I asked.

"If I must." she said. "Just don't step on my foot again."

I scowled. Women…

"Your going with Dorm President Kuran, right Yuki?" Rima asked her.

"Yes," Yuki blushed.

We got up to leave for class then and as we walk to the gate I realised something.

"When did you two get so familiar with each other?" I asked Rima.

"We've gotten close the last two days," She said as the doors opened.

The screams were loud as always when the Night Class came out. I noticed how Rima seemed to recoil from the sound. That's right, she hasn't been to class for three days so she's used to quiet more then screams. Casually, I stepped closer to her.

"You okay?"

"Yeah."

"R-Rima-Sama!" at the same time we turned to see that Day Class boy.

"I-I haven't seen you in a awhile, are you well?" he asked, trying to come over but someone got in his way.

"Your supposed to stay over there," Zero said coldly, making him pale.

"Y-yes sir…"

I glared at the boy. My instincts for danger we're higher then most vampires. It makes it easier for me to avoid things I don't like.

I felt Rima touch my shoulder. I didn't realise I had stopped walking.

"Shiki?"

"I want to go see the Headmaster." I said. "Aidou, will you come with me?"

Aidou, who was just walking past us, nodded.

"Sure."

"Kaien Anton?" Headmaster Cross repeated.

"What do you know about him?" I asked.

"Besides that he picked his surname in my honour?" Cross smiled.

"What do you mean 'Picked'?" Aidou frowned.

"Just before I took in Yuki, I was taking care of little Anton-Kun," Cross explained. "He was five, and his brother who was taking care of him was killed by a wild Level E. Luckily he didn't witness it. I took him in until a family could adopt him and we didn't know his surname so he wanted 'Kaien', my first name, to be his."

"So he knows about vampires?"

"His memories were erased regarding that incident," Cross said. "Just in case he did remember something and just didn't say anything about it."

"Sometimes if a memory is strong enough it can come back," Aidou said. "And he's also a fan of Rima's, that should automatically make him a suspect, don't you think Headmaster?"

"Kiryu-Kun and I already compared the writing. You can see for yourself." He opened his desk drawer and pulled out two pieces of paper and handed them to me.

They were completely different. The writing from the note was neat while Kaien's from his homework was messy and hard to read.

"Could he just be pretending with the writing?"

"No. it wasn't remotely similar," Aidou shook his head.

We were on our way to the school now. a lot good that did going to the Headmaster, a waste of time.

But still, I don't like that human.
