Kiyo snapped her fingers and all the cranes were divided into individual bags sitting in front of each vampire.
"Take them and go," she stated coldly.
I watched them nod, smiling slightly. They got up and filed out of the room, bags in hand.
Takuma kissed me gently, pausing to ask, "do you two need anything else?"
I looked at Kiyo for a moment before shaking my head.
"No, we'll be alright. Go see what you can find out for me," I told him with a slightly larger smile.
He nodded and kissed me again before nodding to Kiyo and making his way out of the room, shutting the door tightly behind him. As it shut I dropped back into my chair and sighed, looking over the maps sprawled across the table.
"We are going to have to coax him back here, into the open, and fight him head on," Kiyo began, her eyes locked onto a map of the academy.
"I know. But how," I asked, summoning another map of the academy to sit before me.
"Haven't gotten there yet, but it should be here," she stated, pointing to an area on her map. This caused a small red spot to appear on my map where her finger was.
I stared at it for a moment and frowned.
"We'll have to have the chairman do something with the day class girls," I stated before groaning.
"What?"
"We haven't told the chairman what is going on yet. He's not going to be amused."
"Shit," Kiyo swore with a grimace, "you're right. We should do that now before the others leave. I don't want to leave the dorms unattended yet. I've not set up the proper traps to keep it safe."
I nodded and stood, looking out at the darkening sky.
"We'll have to walk like normal students. It's too bright to fly or run."
She nodded as well and stood, settling a light jacket over her form, hiding the daggers across her hips.
"Let's get going, I don't want to be long."
"Neither do I," I answered, walking out the door of our war room.
Takuma stood in the main hallway assembling the others nervously as Kiyo and I left.
"Don't bother waiting, just get out of here," I told him as we walked past. He simply nodded and ushered the others into the cars.
Once there, Takuma lead the others into the great hall where the other vampires were assembled for the party with a grimace.
"Remember your tasks," he muttered to the others before wading into the fray to find someone to talk to.
The rest of the night class split up, merging into the party and methodically dividing it amongst themselves without discussion.
I looked at the chairman with a nod.
"Thank you Chairman Cross. I had really hoped that something like this wouldn't happen when I came here."
"Oh it's alright Kie-chan. I promise. You look so much like your mother, did you know that? But that's not the important part, you act much like your father. And that will serve you well. I hadn't expected Kaname to be such a bad egg but I guess you get one in the dozen. Ah well, it will be fixed soon enough I assume," he rambled, turning to look at Kiyo who simply nodded.
"Alright then, I will evacuate all human students and teachers into the underground and send them off until this has finished. They'll be happy for the vacation. Now get out of here, I'm sure you have much work to do still." The man moved to hug us and we both allowed him to, surprisingly enough, before he skipped out.
"That went easier than I was expecting," I admitted to Kiyo who simply nodded.
"Back to the war room. We have a little more to do before the vampires return."
I nodded and we quickly made our way back to the dorms, hands on the daggers at our hips the whole way.
