Without the twins around too ... :P Speaking of the twins, let's hope that this time around Akira would be coming out and disrupt their parents' plans of keeping their existence a secret, and away from Ichijo Asato's knowledge :P

Chapter 11 - The arrival of Ichijo Asato, Part 2

"Ichiou, it's been a long time ... How have you been? " Kaname asked placidly, as Ichijo Asato stepped out from the car and onto the pavement.

"Why ... I must say I'm indeed surprise by the number of people whom had came out here to greet me ... After all, I'm only here to pay my 'lovely' grand-son a visit ... " Ichijo Asato commented as he took in the whole community of the night-class, that surrounded the area where his car was parked.

Turning towards Kaname, Ichijo Asato withheld a smirk as he addressed the former. "Kaname, it's nice of you to make an effort in coming out to greet me. Seeing that I was given the impression that you detested the idea of having me being your guardian. "

"That, I beg to differ ... I'm just worried that I might get myself spoilt rotten under your guardianship. Hence, my insistence to leave the Ichijo's estates once I reached the age of maturity ... " Kaname Kuran responded, plastering on one of his usual smile that was meant for socializing and business purposes.

Takuma tensed under the stifling aura released by his grand-father, but still he forced himself to speak up. "Grand-father, it's 'nice' to have you visit me ... but shall we moved our conversation back to the dormitory? This is hardly the place to be holding a conversation ... "

"Indeed, that I must agree ..." Ichijo Asato responded, without making too much of an effort to hide his feeling of disdain towards his own grand-son.

During the period whereby Ichijo Asato was interacting with the night-class, Zero and Yuuki merely looked on. Both of them silent, and observant of the attitude displayed by the night-class members towards the figure of Ichijo Asato. Yuuki was trying to fight against the urge to cower in front of the 'Head' of the Vampire Council, somehow there was something in the former's aura that makes her cringe with fear.

Zero, on the other hand, was silent because he had been listening closely to the conversation between Kaname Kuran and Ichijo Asato. Unlike Yuuki, he was not in the least feeling intimidated by the aura that Ichijo Asato was displaying at full. After all, despite his being an ex-human and the lowest rank within the vampires hierarchy; he would always remained a hunter. One of the utmost important lesson which he had learned from his hunter's training, was to never be intimidate by a vampire's presence.

"Keep an eye on them ... and do not let them come near us, tonight ... " Kaname murmured softly into the ears of Kiryuu Zero, as the pureblood passes by the side of the silver-haired guardian.

Zero said nothing, but nodded discreetly at the pureblood's words. Judging from the way Ichijo Asato was interacting with the pureblood, Zero was willing to bet Kaname Kuran was not exactly fond of the former's presence either.

"Come on, Yuuki ... let's go ... I'm sure that the night-class can handle themselves. We are late for our routine patrol duty. " Zero started, as he dragged Yuuki off with him while he headed his way back towards the direction of the Chairman's office.

"Huh? But Zero ... Aren't we supposed to keep an eye on them? " Yuuki protested, as she felt herself being pulled towards the direction of her adopted father's office.

"They'll be fine, they can handle themselves ... rather, I'm sure that Kuran will be able to keep them under control. Besides, my master's watching them from the dark. Ichijo Asato was no idiot, surely he could recognized the presence of a veteran hunter hidden somewhere, watching them in silence ... " Zero assured Yuuki, whom still seemed uneasy about leaving the vampires unattended.

Akane, meanwhile, decided that if Ichijo Asato was going to be spending the 'night' here at the Moon Dormitory. Then perhaps, she should just went off and joined the twins instead. Initially, she had thought that she was more than capable of reigning in her temper, but apparently not. At the rate her temper was boiling, it would only be a matter of time before she exploded.

---

Akane was half-way down the stairs, when her hunter's senses blare to life alerting her of the fact that there was an approaching group of vampires. Among them, aside from the usual group of vampires whom she knew as the members of the night-class included one unfamiliar aura. Still, Akane knew - that foreign aura belongs to Ichijo Asato.

Not wanting to let the said vampire discover her amidst the crowd, Akane wisely masked up her vampire's aura and presence while she hides herself in the shadow. Since there was no way she could have made her way out of the building without passing them by, Akane choose to stand in the shadows as she waited patiently for a chance to escape. With her aura and presence nicely masked up, the only other thing left for her to do now was to control her temper.

Seconds ticked by in silence, nobody dared to breathe a word for they were busy flickering their eyes between their pureblood leader and the most prominent figure within the council of the vampires. Then, the silence was broke by Ichijo Asato, himself.

"Such filth ... those humans are ... It's a wonder how a pureblood like yourself could survived without being tainted. Perhaps, its' just like what our ancestors had always said? The blood of a pureblood would always remained pure, sweet and free from the dangers of being tainted - despite the environment? " Ichijo Asato said, as he reached for the hand of Kaname Kuran.

Just as Ichijo Asato was about to put Kaname's hand to his lips, Ruka Souen dash out from her position in the crowd and snatched her beloved leader's hand away from Asato's grasp.

"I apologized for stepping out of line, Kaname-sama ... but I just can't ... " Ruka murmured as she placed herself in between the two vampires.

Meanwhile, Aidou Hanabusa was about to step out and make a grab for Ichijo Asato's outstretched hand, when he realized that someone else had already beaten him to the task. That someone, was none other than Akane, herself whom snapped the moment she heard those words tumbling out from the mouth of Ichijo Asato.

Takuma froze, the instant his eyes landed upon the unmistakable figure of Akane standing in front of his grand-father and appeared to be locked in a staring contest with the former.

"Pardon my rudeness, but I'm sure that you wouldn't want to get yourself associated further with more 'filthy' material ... By that, I don't mean 'filth' like the human-beings, such as myself ... I'm saying that whatever invisible substances that still lingers on the hands of Kaname-sama is more potent than the usual 'filth' that you are accustomed to deal with. " Akane said, her tone even and words ringing loud and clear for all to hear.

It took several minutes for everybody to digest the meaning behind Akane's words. When they did - Takuma's eyes widen, Akatsuki was staring at Akane with disbelief apparent. Ruka and Aidou looked incensed by Akane's choice of words, and Asato just stared. Kaname, on the other hand, felt his eyebrow twitching slightly but he did not react immediately to Akane's choice of offending terms. Shiki and Rima, on the other hand merely looked bemused by the whole situation.

For they were expecting Aidou to be the one reacting to Ichijo Asato's actions, what they failed to expect was that Akane would snapped too. Since it was not in the girl's usual behavior to be so reckless and rash, no matter how irritated the girl had been.

Ichijo Asato continued to stare wordlessly at Akane, pressing for an elaboration to her previous words and wondering what was the reason behind Akane's guts to say such offending things in public. Fancy claiming a pureblood to be 'filthy' in public, what exactly was the girl playing at?

As though sensing the older vampire's unasked question, Akane smiled sweetly. Very sweetly, in fact, and somehow oddly enough the smile send shivers down the spines of the many vampires whom had gathered around to watch the scene playing itself out like an open theatre.

"I beg your pardon ... but it seems like Kaname-sama had been in the bathroom earlier, attending to some of his 'nature calls'. However, seeing as he had been in a rush to head out front to meet you earlier... Somehow, he had forgotten to wash his hands in prior to his heading out. Therefore, I would genuinely and sincerely advise you not to lift his hands to your lips until you knew for certain that he had washed his hands ... for hygience purposes ... Certainly, you would understand where I'm coming from - right?" Akane elaborated, smiling sweetly as she did so.

Almost instantly, everyone reacted at the same time. Some wheezed and choked, whereas others turned their face away so that they could hide their grin or smile in the shadows. Akatsuki Kain was among the few whom turned his eyes away from the sight, so that he could prevent himself from laughing out loud at Akane's words. Aidou Hanabusa spluttered un-intelligently, his face reddening by each seconds that passes by. Whether was it from indignation or was it from embarrassment, nobody knows.

Ruka Souen's face paled significantly, before letting go of her beloved Kaname-sama's arm abruptly. Shiki and Rima's expression had changed from their initial bemusement to amusement. Kaname Kuran, on the other hand, really had no idea what to say in response to Akane's words. Part of him was annoyed by the excuse which Akane's had chosen for herself to get away from punishment, and yet another part of him had to credit the girl for her quick thinking.

Obviously, the girl had reacted without thinking of the consequences that might follows but her quick thinking and logic had saved her from being outright rude to the 'Head' of the Vampire Council. For the reason Akane had came up with, sounded plausible enough.

Though, it was by far a common sense actions to have wash the hands after using the toilet but sometimes people would forgot. For instances, to attend to an urgent call or an emergency situation which required immediate attention and once these things had been attended to, the notion of using the toilet in prior might have slipped their minds entirely. Although, the pureblood was not one of these people but whom was to know, except for himself and those people whom he really allowed for them to get real close to him on daily basis.

Beside Kaname, Takuma was stunned speechless. For a while, he wondered if Akane would snapped entirely and tried something foolish like assassinating his grand-father in public; or that would ended up being slapped by Kaname for her rude actions. Now though, her actions seemed justified enough though she had somewhat embarrassed Kaname in the process of 'cooking' up some plausible excuse to support her crude behavior.

"... Is that so? Then perhaps, a word of 'thanks' would be in order ..." Ichijo Asato said, his tone mildly miffed but aside from that, there was no apparent signs of his displeasure.

"You're welcome. " Akane responded, letting go of Ichijo Asato's hand as she addressed the said vampire. Still, she remained smiling as she continue to look into the eyes of the stern man. Refusing to back down without putting up a fight, for all to see.

---

Meanwhile, Ichijo Asato was bewildered. Throughout his years of observation, Kaname Kuran had not struck him to be one of those absent-minded people whom would allowed something as trivial as washing one's hands after using the washroom to slipped their minds, while being busy. Of course, he does knows a few people whom seemed to be this absent-minded before during some of his business liaising or social events that involves the humans. He had been so certain of the pureblood's good hygiene practice before, but now his confidence level wavers somewhat.

After all, Kaname's lack of reaction seemed to have agree with what the girl had been saying. Isn't that so? However, there was still another question he had in mind to the girl's previous statement. Judging from the uniform, Ichijo Asato knew enough to know that the girl whom was still standing in front of him looking him evenly in the eyes was from the day-class, and not the night class.

Furthermore, he could sensed nothing from the girl's aura. Practically, everything screamed 'human' to him when he tried to analyse the aura patterns of the girl standing in front of him. Then, does the girl had any idea of just whom she was associating herself with - at the moment? Better yet, does the girl had any idea of what the night-class members could be capable of doing to her?

Akane smirked inwardly to herself, thank goodness for her unique powers of being able to read into the mind of any individuals if she were to maintain eye-contact with the said person. Added on to her natural talent at using, modifying and creating new charms and spells - she could easily use her powers on any vampires, and without rousing any suspicion from them if she was able to make them think of her as a normal human-being instead of a vampire. Therefore, she was now extremely amused by the thoughts of Ichijo Asato, whom was also her blood-related paternal grand-father - but one that she refused to acknowledged.

Well ... if she cannot afford to be outright rude with the former, then certainly she could 'play' with him - right? Although, in the process she would be bound to get into trouble with the pureblood since all her 'mind' and 'words' games had something to do with the pureblood prince, in one way or another. Still, she was certain that whatever trouble she ended up getting into with Kaname would not be anywhere drastic enough to ensure a 'harsh' punishment like what Aidou would be subjected towards, if she had not intervened on the situation before Aidou did.

For Kaname, he had chosen not to react instantly to Akane's choice of excuse despite being annoyed was probably due to the fact that he felt no inclination to let Ichijo Asato hold on to his hands further. However, that does not means Akane would not be punished for her insolence either. Nonetheless, the punishment would not be too severe. Since he was only mildly annoyed by Akane's words, not entirely incensed by what she had been telling the others about his 'hygience' practice.

Silence reigned as Ichijo Asato and Akane continued to lock eyes with one another, neither making a move to speak. Takuma, whom had been watching by the side throughout the whole period of their eye-contact with one another, was breaking out in cold sweat now. Then the spell broke, for his grand-father had turned towards him and asked.

"Takuma ... Care to tell me why on earth is there a human girl roaming about the Moon Dormitory unescorted?" Ichiou asked, as he shifted his eyes of intent away from Akane and towards his less than satisfactory grand-son, instead.

Upon his words, many of the night-class members furrowed their brows into a frown for they had failed to understand the older vampire's words of having a human girl among them. Since, they knew that despite the fact that Akane had been in the day-class and followed the living habits of a mere human being due to special reasons - Akane's still a vampire, like the rest of them. So why is it that Ichijo Asato was referring to her as a mere human girl?

However, Takuma knew the reason. Akane must have masked up her aura of being a vampire and suppressing them down to the level of invisibility. The lack of any blaring signs of vampire's aura, combined with the fact that she was having on the uniform of a day-class students. It was no wonder that his grand-father had thought her to be a mere human-being.

"Certainly, you aren't telling me that I could be harmed by the lots of /them/ if I choose to wander about the building unescorted, by myself? That - I'm sure would never happened, for the results would not be pretty if they choose to sneak up on me from behind ... You can jolly well ask around, and see what I'm capable of doing ... Especially, Aidou ... he would know ... since he experienced them himself ... " This coming from Akane, whom chose to speak up on behalf of Takuma.

Behind her, a certain blond vampire going by the name of Aidou Hanabusa blanched visibly, knowing for a fact that a certain anti-vampire charm was still upon him and had yet to be lifted completely by the said female standing in front of him.

"Yes ... I'm pretty sure that she can handle herself, she was a hunter in training ... after all ..." Kaname spoke up, his tone placid.

"I see ... and whom gave her the permission to roam the areas of the Dormitory unattended? "

Every night-class members stared at one another in response, before shifting their eyes towards the President and Vice-President, respectively.

"It was me whom granted her the special permission to roam the building ... Is there a problem, Ichiou?" Kaname responded, his tone stern and firm.

"No, my lord ... I certainly dare not raise any objections to what you've decided ... " Ichijo Asato responded, sounding humble on the outside, but inwardly it was another matter - entirely.

"Good, and I'm certain that the journey must have been taxing for you. So why don't we adjourned ourselves to somewhere comfortable so we can continue our conversation further? After all, it simply wouldn't do to have our honored guest to be standing around the front hall - all the while, isn't that so?" Kaname suggested, as he beckoned for his friend Takuma to start leading the way.

"Akane ... if you are not up to the task of holding your tongue while in the presence of Ichiou ... I suggested that you get yourself over to the Chairman's place, immediately. Also, remember to come to me for your 'punishment' of being insolence later on ... I'll be expecting you in my room promptly at six in the evening tomorrow, following Ichiou's departure from the academy ... " Kaname Kuran said, as he passes by the side of Akane.

"Yes, Kaname-sama ... " Akane responded, obediently before making a move to leave the Moon Dormitory, entirely.

---

Akane entered through the front door of the Chairman's living quarter only to find herself coming face to face with one Yagari Touga.

"Where's the Chairman?" Akane asked, wondering why the Chairman was missing from his own living quarters and a very unwilling Yagari Touga was here in his place.

"Called away by the Hunter's association ... and asked me to take his place, temporary for a few hours ... much to my annoyance ... " Yagari Touga muttered aloud, his tone gruff as usual.

"I see ... and where's the rest? " Akane asked, despite knowing very well that Zero was upstairs with the twins.

Yagari said nothing but stared towards the direction of the stairs, since he knew for certain that Akane would be able to tell his disciple's location without having the need for him to spell it out to her, either way.

"Well then ... let the Chairman knew I'll be staying the night too as well ... and fret not, I'll not be taking advantage of your disciple as well ... Like what I've told Kaname before, I'm not into /incest/ ... " Akane said, as she started up the staircase without looking back at the veteran hunter.

The twins had sensed Akane's approaching before the girl even reached the Chairman's residential area. They both knew Akane held an immense dislike towards Ichijo Asato, and every time the name was brought up in her presence - Akane was bound to be upset. Hence, they knew their adopted sister would never be able to stay within the walls of the Moon Dormitory while that man visited. Thus, they had already warned their 'Daddy' beforehand to be expecting Akane's impromptu visit during night-time.

The door leading to the interior of the silver-haired guardian's room was pulled open by the owner, himself before Akane could even knocked and let her presence be known.

"How did you know that I'm here? " Akane opened her mouth and asked stupidly, before realizing that Zero must have sensed her coming up the stairs.

"... Never mind, forget that I'd asked ... " Akane muttered out in response, as she took in the sight of the additional mattresses that had been laid out across the remaining and available portion of the room's floor area.

The twins were kneeling down on one of the mattress and was playing a game of chess with one another. Additional pillows and blankets had been stacked up by the side of the room, atop of the recently added mattress. Seeing as this had been Zero's room prior to his enrolment into the school, majority of the former's belongings was now sitting in his dormitory building instead of this particular room. Henceforth, giving them the additional space to lay out the mattresses for their impromptu sleep-over party probably provided by the Chairman, in prior.

"I see that you're prepared for my possible arrival ... " Akane commented, as she took in the pink mattress and matching pillows as well as the blanket. Again, probably from the Chairman's collection and she was more than willing to bet that the Chairman had taken the mattress as well as the matching pillows and blanket from Yuuki's old room directly, after being informed by the twins of the possibility of her joining them for the night too.

Zero merely shrugged and said, "Well ... the Chairman prepared all the additional mattresses, pillows and blankets that's required for the 'sleep-over' ... not me, so please do not question me on the colors chosen for the bedsheets. "

"I know, and I supposed ... the twins told you about my possible arrival as well? Since you do looked like you have been expecting me to make an appearance here anytime soon ... " Akane said, sounding lethargic and lack of energy.

Zero shrugged but said nothing, and there was no need to - anyway. Since, Akane had changed the subject soon enough and started asking him on what he had been entertaining the twins with.

"Nothing much, just conversing with them ... and told them a few tales of my childhood experience during my training as a hunter ... " Zero responded, his eyes having a faraway look in them - probably thinking back on those days, himself.

"I see ... and did they tell you anything that they shouldn't have ... " Akane asked, as she glances over to the twins whom seemed determined to avoid looking her in the eyes.

Zero grimaced, before responding. "Oh ... you mean the part about how I've been the one to 'give birth' to them? "

Akane froze upon Zero's statement, before turning wide eyes towards the twins and gasped. "My goodness, tell me that the two of you didn't just slipped and let him know /that/! "

The twins blanched visibly, before Akira uttered aloud. "Akane, we didn't mean to ... it just slips! Honest! However, we didn't tell 'Father' anything though ... "

"... " Akane was speechless, before she sighed and turned back to the silver-haired hunter. "So ... what's your reaction to their accidental slip of tongue then? "

"... Honestly, I don't know what to make of it ... " Zero answered truthfully, combing his fingers through his hair as he said so.

"This whole thing had just seemed so bizarre and bewildering that I really had no idea what to think of it, anymore. Granted, if the information had been told weeks ago when the three of you had just arrived - I would have snapped, I guess ... Now though, I think I'm alright with that idea. Since, I've somewhat accepted the fact that /they/ are a product of what existed between Kuran and myself, in the future."

"Although, I'm still boggled by the idea of being the 'mother-figure' but still, I guess it's kind of expected. After all, I honestly can't see or imagine the possibility of Kuran being the one ... you know ..." Zero flushed crimson, as he stammered un-intelligently. Suddenly finding himself having trouble with getting his words out, and thus ended up falling silent with his face resembling a fully ripe tomato.

Akane smiled wryly, as she commented knowingly. "I know what you mean ... It's okay for you to be unable to say that word ... since the idea's still a little uncomfortable for you to digest, in such a short period of time. "

"Good ... so what about you? " Zero asked, changing the subject and steering the conversation away from the twins' parentage for a minute.

Akane blinked in puzzlement, as she questioned back in return. "What about me? "

"When were you adopted by ... us ...? Were the twins ... born then? " Zero amended his question, when he realized that Akane had previously mentioned that Kuran and himself had adopted her following her family's demise.

"Oh ... No, the twins' weren't even conceived when the two of you adopted me ... I was adopted during the early stages of your relationship with Kaname-sama ... so the two of you were still tentative around one another then. The twins weren't born until the later parts of your relationship with one another ... when its' more stable, and the two of you are more trusting of one another. " Akane responded, as she thought back on the days whereby both her adopted parents seemed to be overly careful of each others opinions; thoughts and feelings on every subject that was brought up to discussion.

"... In short, you get to see all of our embarrassing moments - eh? " Zero commented dryly, shooting Akane a look of mock annoyance.

Akane smirked, before responding. "Well ... that's for sure, since I was already five when I'm adopted by the two of you ... and how Kaname-sama had been jealous of your constant attention upon me ... making sure that I wasn't feeling upset by the loss of my family members and all ... "

"Okay, enough ... too much details ... " Zero cut in before Akane could continue quoting all those memorable events off her fantastic memory.

"... So ... how did you addressed Kuran and myself, back in your own time? "

"Hm..m... I called you 'Dad' most of the time, and him 'Kaname-sama' all the time ... Occasionally, I would call him 'Father' but only in front of public. Of course, while I'm here ... I called you by your name, cause' its' simply too weird to be calling you anything otherwise. "

"Point taken ... " Zero commented, before shifting his attention towards the twins as he observed his future sons interact with one another in silence.

Akane, meanwhile, was glad to be left alone to her thoughts and thus had moved herself towards the direction of an isolated corner in the room and hug a random pillow close to herself. For she needed some time to herself, and sort out her current emotions that was in a mess and hay-wired condition.

---

On the other end of the academy, a certain pureblood was lying down on his couch in the privacy of his room when he sensed the unmistakable presence of his childhood friend, Takuma Ichijo loitering outside his door.

"Takuma ... Is anything the matter? "

"Huh? ... No ... not exactly ... "

"Really? Then why are you loitering outside my room, and seemed to be hesitating about something? Please do not tell me, you are curious about my hygience practice too ... I had had enough of that from Aidou and Ruka, already ..."

"No, I'm not here to ask you about /that/ since I know that's just something which Akane had made up to fool my grand-father into giving up the idea of 'molesting' your hand ... " Takuma responded, a wry grin tugging at the corner of his lips as the memory from before replayed itself in his mind.

"... If so, then why are you loitering outside my door ... Are you going to continue pacing out there, if I hadn't called you in, myself? "

"..."

Silence met his ears, and Kaname sighed inwardly. "Are you really that concerned about Akane's welfare? If so, you can jolly well proceed over to the Chairman's place and check things out for yourself ... Certainly, I won't be offended by you showing your concern for my /future daughter/ ... "

" ... I understand, Kaname ... In that case, I'll take my leave now ... if you don't mind ... " Takuma responded, as he made a move to leave his friend's room.

Halfway across the aisle, Takuma was stopped by his friend's words. "Takuma ... do check on the twins' as well ... "

Takuma nodded, before leaving Kaname's room - altogether and leaving the pureblood behind alone to his thoughts.

Kiryuu Zero had been on the verge of dozing off himself, when he heard the Chairman whom had just gotten back from the hunter's association calling out for his attention in an annoying sing-song manner.

"What is it?! " He let out a half-growl as he opened up the door to his room and stepped out into the corridor-way. The twins and Akane were already asleep, and he had no intention for them to be rouse by the Chairman's annoying high-pitched voice.

"Why?! How could you be so heartless to me when I've just gotten back from the hunter's association, speaking to them on your behalf ... Papa's so heart-broken ... " The Chairman pretended to weep and sobbed, pitifully.

Zero felt his eyebrow twitching involuntarily, before gritting out in sheer frustration. "Would you please keep it down?! They are sleeping, and I do not want to wake them. Besides, you aren't my father, just my legal guardian ... "

Zero would have continue to rant at the Chairman, if he had not finally taken a notice of the blond green-eyed Vice-President of the Moon Dormitory standing behind his adopted father, quietly and waiting for his acknowledgment.

"Ichijo ... " Zero greeted, his tone low and devoid of emotions.

"Kiryuu-kun, can I have a moment with you? " Takuma Ichijo started, his tone inquiring and polite, as usual.

Zero nodded wordlessly, as he responded. "Sure ... is the 'study' of the Chairman's alright with you? "

Takuma shrugged, not really caring about where the conversation will be taking place. For he just wanted to talk with the silver-haired guardian, and perhaps try to understand the former better. The idea had been on his mind for quite some time now, ever since Akane had told him of his relations to her family. However, the notion had been put temporarily on hold when he knew of his grand-father's impending arrival.

Although, his grand-father's still on campus but at least nothing drastical had happened yet. So that gives him some time to himself, and since he had been granted permission by Kaname to check on Akane and the twins' welfare. Seeing as they were all sleeping right now, certainly the pureblood would not fault him for attempting to communicate with the silver-haired guardian, right? Besides, Kaname did not exactly banned him from speaking to Kiryuu - only told him to prevent anyone from killing the said guardian, isn't that so?
