Disclaimer: No, I do not own Vampire Knights. It belongs to Hino Matsuri - I only borrow the characters from the series and use it in my own fic. However, I do own the three original characters featured in this story.
Author's Notes: Thanks everyone for the reviews. I'll try to keep myself from repeatedly using the same word, and sometimes I do try to find alternatives by searching through dictionaries online. Well ... but sometimes, I'm multi-tasking so ... ^^;; I'm currently working on a school report at the same time as I wrote the chapter. The next update would be uploaded sometime later as compared to the usual timing as I'm scheduled to work more frequently for this week. Nonetheless, I'll try to update as soon as possible, okay?! Anyway, on with the next chapter :P
For those of you wondering, the changes in Zero would take place slowly and over a period of time, so the night-class members probably won't realized it just yet. Kaname, though would sensed the change in Zero sometime in the next chapter, but because the change is mild so ... its' not very detectable.

Chapter 21 - Kaname, Zero and the Vampire Council, Part 2
Yuuki Cross stared up at the intruder uneasily, inwardly she knew they were looking for Zero. However, she failed to understand why these unknown vampires are looking around the school for signs of Zero. Yuuki was about to ask another question, when she felt someone pushing her behind. It was not until she heard the voice of the newcomer speaking up, did she realized it was Zero, himself whom was shielding her from the intruder's range of attack.
"Why are you looking around for me? " Zero questioned, as he block the vampire's attack towards Yuuki easily, and effortlessly.
"Zero, are you alright already? " Yuuki asked, sounding genuinely surprised to find her guardian friend behaving as though he had never being subjected to any form of injuries before.
"Kiryuu Zero, according to the orders issued by the Vampire Council, we are here to arrest you for the murder of the pureblood - Shizuka Hiou. "
"Eh?! " Yuuki's eyes widen in shock, she knew that her friend had not been the one to murder Shizuka. Yet, before she could even get her words out. Zero silenced her with a 'look' of his, and signaled for the intruder to continue speaking.
"We prized the existence of the pureblood as a valuable assets, and yet you went around our back and kill Shizuka Hiou without us noticing until it was too late. Now all you need to do is to surrender yourself to us, and agreed to the idea of being placed on trial in front of the council and if the council are satisfied with your reasons of justifications on the issue. You might very well be pardoned for the sins committed, which I personally find that too 'easy' for you. " The uninvited visitor glared, and the calculating gaze in him caused Zero to react on instincts.
Before Zero realized what had happened, he had ended up crushing the bones of the vampire's fingers. The victimized vampire growled aloud upon realizing what Zero had done, and said.
"How dare you ... " The intruder started, before he started to smirk upon sensing more of his fellow comrades closing in on the two guardians. "Even if you did managed to take me down today, how many of us do you think you are able to defeat? At the end of the day, you would still have to surrender yourself to us. "
No sooner had the fallen vampire finished his words, the rest of the invaders had the two guardians surrounded. Knowing that things are bound to get messy and troublesome, Zero whispered harshly to his fellow guardian friend and said. "Yuuki, leave. This had nothing to do with you, I'll handle them myself. "
"No, I won't leave you alone with them. Not when you'd just recovered from your previous injury. " Yuuki responded, with determination as she steeled herself for the newcomers' possible attack.
Zero sighed inwardly, resigning himself to the fact that Yuuki's decision would not be swayed regardless of how he tried to convince the girl into leaving him alone with the trespassing vampires. For he knew, Yuuki can be really stubborn at times and during those times, nothing that the others tried to tell her would ever make it across to the girl.
The sudden dissipation of a member among the group of unwelcome guests caused several heads to turn towards the direction where the attack had originated from. To the surprise of both guardians, they suddenly found themselves surrounded by the whole group of night-class members.
"Certainly, the council would have known by now that Shizuka Hiou, herself had done quite a number of things that was highly frowned upon by our society over the past few years. Isn't that so? "
The sudden sound of Kaname Kuran's voice caused those servants of the Vampire Council to freeze mid-actions, as they turned towards the new-comer and bowed to the young pureblood with respect.
"K.. Kuran Kaname-sama." They greeted, half with fright and half with respect.
Kaname stared down at them with a mask of indifference, while he continued to speak. "Just because that the existence of pureblood are extremely rare these days, the council deemed it 'right' to subject Kiryuu to some form of penalty? "
"... Kaname-sama, if a pureblood like yourself were to side with them on this matter. We would be unable to accomplish our mission for the day, therefore we sincerely seek your cooperation by staying out on this particular issue. "
Kaname shoot them a look that resembled a cross between annoyance and disdain, as he spoke up once again. "Are you people trying to 'pollute' the environment of the Cross Academy which I've come to treasure and love?! Answer me this, the lackeys of the council. "
"But ... " The head person in charge of the squad attempted to speak, only to find himself subjected to an invisible attack of fury from the irritated pureblood and froze momentarily in shock.
"For the last time I am warning you ... Scram! " Kaname's eyes bleeding red with unmasked fury, as he gritted out the words in frustration.
Seeing no other options available for the time-being, the 'law enforcers' of the council had no choice but to leave the academy grounds without Zero. However, they made it a point to inform Kaname that his actions with regards to this particular issue would be reported to their superiors as accordingly.
Silence reigned, as Yuuki tightened her hold on Zero's sleeves. Somehow, she find Kaname a little too scary for her liking this particular evening. It gave her the creeps and reminded her just how scary a vampire could be. Zero sighed inwardly as he made it a point to throw a look of annoyance towards the dark-haired pureblood, before darting his eyes silently towards Yuuki, reminding the pureblood of the fact that Yuuki was startled by his sudden display of raw and unmasked fury that revealed his vampire nature's for all to see.
Catching on immediately, Kaname hurried to get his aura under control. Somehow, his newly acquired powers after taking in quite a significant amount of Shizuka's blood had yet to blend in fully with his own. Therefore, it had a tendency to leak when he was feeling too agitated or too relaxed.
"Are you alright? " Kaname found himself asking, as he approached the two guardians. This must have been his first time inquiring on the welfare of the silver-haired guardian in front of all the members of the night-class, usually he refrained from displaying his concern for the hunter in public, unless it was among his usual socializing group of friends.
His inquiry was met by silence, but the look in those lilac eyes of Zero had told him enough. The silver-haired hunter was looking at him with hints of slight annoyance, commenting on his nosiness in this particular issue. Careful to keep his face free from any reactions, he shifted his glance towards the female guardian instead. Then, he allowed a small smile to grace his features as he regarded the girl fondly.
"Kaname-senpai, Zero didn't do it! " Yuuki was saying, but the pureblood silent her with a simple nod of acknowledgement.
Kaname then said, "I know ... Trust me, I'll handle this. Don't be worried, it'll be fine. "
Meanwhile, Zero had to refrain from rolling his eyes at the pureblood's words and at Yuuki's trusting expression. Of course, things will be fine eventually. The fact that it was Kaname, a pureblood whom stepped forth and defend him from the 'sins' of killing Shizuka - the council would had no choice but to let him off the hook. While that would helped to set Yuuki's mind at peace, it only served to annoy him as he knew it was Kaname whom killed Shizuka.
Why did he willingly take up the rap for something which the pureblood had done, he had no idea. Perhaps, it was due to the fact that he knew even if he were to tell the truth, nobody would have believed it. If that was to be the case, then why should he bother with the task of explaining himself? And since, Kaname seemed to have it in mind to help him cleared his name. Then by all means, the pureblood was more than welcome to go ahead and proceed on with it.
"Come on, Yuuki ... let's go. There's other places on campus that needs to be inspected, before we could call it a night. " Zero started, dragging the adopted daughter of the Chairman after him and leaving the whole group of night-class members staring after them.
"Hmph! Such an ungrateful chap! Kaname-sama have just went up against the council for his sake, and he just walked off without a word?! The least he could have done was to show his appreciation to what Kaname-sama had done for him, isn't that common sense?!" Someone among the night-class members commented aloud, unhappily.
"That's enough!" Kaname's voice cuts in smoothly, his features remained a mask of indifference making it hard for the majority of the night-class members to guess his thoughts.
"Takuma, bring them back for classes. I need to go and pay the Chairman a visit, before Yuuki reported today's incident to him. " Kaname started.
"Sure!" Takuma responded, good-naturedly as he beckoned for the rest of the night-class to follow his lead.
---
"If you are waiting around for me thank you for your efforts at speaking up in my defense, you can jolly well forget about it because I am not going to thank you for that. " Zero Kiryuu spoke up, upon catching sight of the dark-haired pureblood waiting for him just outside the Sun Dormitory building following the end of his patrolling trip.
Kaname shrugged, as he commented nonchalantly. "I know you won't thank me for that, since you aren't the one whom killed Shizuka. Technically, I should even be the one to thank you for not ratting out on my part in the murder of Shizuka Hiou. "
Zero snorted, as he responded in a half-mocking manner. "Honestly, nobody's going to believe it even if I were to tell the truth. So why bother? If they find it convenient to simply push all the blame of Shizuka's death upon me, they're more than welcome to do just that!"
For a while, neither spoke as they basked themselves under the moonlight and enjoying the tranquil silence that settled between them.
"Zero ..."
"What?!" The silver-haired hunter responded, shifting his foot around uneasily. Even after weeks of private interaction with the dark-haired pureblood, he still felt uneasy whenever Kaname addressed him by his given name. Especially in the case of having the pureblood addressing him by his given name with such a gentle tone that's usually reserved for Yuuki, somehow it felt weird to him when the pureblood leader of the night-class treated him with such gentleness.
"Keep an eye out on Yuuki, let me know if she started to behave strangely. " Kaname said eventually, initially he was contemplating on seeking Zero's help in taking care of Yuuki. Then he remembered, even without the need for him to ask. The silver-haired hunter would still look after and take care of Yuuki, since Zero probably considered Yuuki to be his adopted sister. The relationship between Zero and Yuuki were so good that it used to make him jealous, whenever he chanced upon the sight of the duo interacting with one another.
Even now he still felt the jealousy that arises in him whenever he noticed the way his beloved sister was interacting with Zero, the only differences is that he would no longer vent his frustration upon the silver-haired hunter for being too close to his beloved girl. After all, with his recently developed attraction towards Zero, he was having a hard time deciphering just whom exactly was the subject of his jealousy.
"Is that all? If so, I would like to get back to my dormitory room for some rest before going for class later. " Zero questioned back in return, despite having rested for several days in a row before. He still felt tired and lethargic, probably because he had quite a number of things on his mind over the past few days that bothered him so much so that he had not really slept much since all he did was to toss and turn, throughout the night.
Kaname shrugged, and Zero took it as a sign and permission for him to depart from the area. Zero was half-way up the stairs and heading towards his room, when he felt the urge to slap his forehead in annoyance. He did not just took Kaname's shrug as a sign of permission to leave the area, did he?! Certainly, with his usual behavior he would have just walked off following the end of the pureblood's words, isn't it? Then why did he even bother to ask if the pureblood had finished speaking to him? If Kaname had not given any form of response, would he stayed on?!
The sudden realization that he was starting to think of the pureblood by the name 'Kaname' instead of 'Kuran', just served to aggravate him more. For it just served to remind him how he was getting used to having the said vampire hovering around him, all the time.
In the past, the sheer sight of Kaname Kuran would pissed him off but now, he no longer felt that irritated and instead, sometimes he found himself wondering just what exactly was the pureblood doing. True, whenever he crossed path with the said vampire, the annoyance would still exist between them. The only difference was that instead of the annoyance being directed towards Kaname, it was directed to himself. He was irritated by his own bewildering reactions and behaviors in front of the pureblood, as compared to what Kaname was doing to him.
He knew he was getting himself attracted to the pureblood, and that annoyed him greatly because he was trained to hate them not to 'like' them. Then, there was the event of Kaname 'molesting' him throughout the ice-skating session and although, it disturbed him but he still tolerated the pureblood's actions. Up until this point of time, he had been forced-kissed by the pureblood twice and yet instead of feeling angry like he should be, he found himself enjoying the kiss despite the brutality of it.
"Damn, Master Touga would have a fit if he knew what had happened between Kaname and myself over the past few weeks ... " Zero felt the urge to groan aloud, upon the remembrance of his master's words. If he had not been fraternizing with the vampires then, he certainly was now.

"Hanabusa, are you serious about wanting to stay behind? " Akatsuki Kain asked, frowning as he took in the sight of his cousin burying and hiding himself underneath the covers of the blanket.
"Yes, I am serious about not going to the Council with you people. So if you are going, please hurry along and don't keep the rest of them waiting! " Aidou Hanabusa muttered aloud, still hiding himself from his cousin's viewing range.
This evening, the rest of the night-class members would be accompanying their pureblood leader to the council to straighten things out with them, on the issue of Shizuka's death. Usually he would have expressed his support for the pureblood without a second's hesitation, but recently he was starting to get a little uneasy. Then again, it was understandable since he did chanced upon his beloved pureblood leader killing another.
Several rooms down from Aidou Hanabusa, the twins were hanging around Akane's room while waiting for the girl to ready herself for a visit to their Daddy. Kaname had finally given the permission for the twins to spend the weekends together with Zero, hoping that it would helped to snap Subaru out from his guilty conscience state of mind.
"Subaru ... whom do you think the bottle of blood belongs to? " Akira asked in a whisper, not wanting to risk detection from their adopted elder sister unnecessarily.
"Huh? Bottle of blood? " Subaru stared uncomprehendingly at Akira for a second, causing the younger boy to sigh in response as he proceeded on to elaborate on his statement.
"The bottle which I broke the other day at Daddy's room ... "
"... " Silence was the only response which Akira had received from his twin, for Subaru's face had started to pale upon the mention of that incident.
Unlike Akira, Subaru did know or rather he did have a faint idea as to the owner of those blood which Akira had accidentally spill on that day. The scent of the blood reminded him awfully of that pureblood woman, who was drinking from his Daddy's neck when he chanced upon them the other day. It was the same sight that caused his powers to overflow and leaked out from sheer fury, and when his Daddy shot that woman twice so as to allow Akane and him to escape while the woman was distracted - it was then that Subaru caught a whiff of that female's blood scent.
"Father seemed adamant to have Daddy ingesting those blood too ... that's why he looked upset when he noticed that I have broke the bottle of blood by accident. Why do you think Father was reacting in that manner? " Akira asked, but he did not wait around for his twin to respond before coming to his own conclusion with regards to the matter.
"Ah! I know, the blood that I spill must have been from the same vampire that turned Daddy. Otherwise, Father wouldn't be reacting in that manner! Since it takes the blood of a master to prevent an ex-human from descending into the realm of insanity. Yes, that must be it! " Akira proclaimed, sounding extremely proud of himself that caused Subaru to sigh and turned away from his twin sibling.
Sometimes Subaru could not helped but wonder, just how exactly Akira had managed to grow up with such optimistic outlook on life, considering just how complicated their surroundings were.
The reappearance of Akane from the attached bathroom draw the twins conversation to a close, or rather it was an one-sided conversation since Subaru did not bothered to respond and Akira was practically talking to himself, all these while.
Aidou Hanabusa was taking a walk around the school's vicinity when he caught sight of a familiar figure heading towards the school gate. The said figure was none other than Wakaba Sayori, and since it was stated in the school rules that anyone whom wished to leave the academy grounds must registered with the school office in prior. Aidou was genuinely surprised to find the girl leaving campus at this late of time.
Although it was a weekend, but the curfew for the day-class students that resided within the school dormitory building remained the same. Nobody should be out from their room after evening hours arrived, with the sole exception of the school guardians' and the night-class members. Since, technically the night-class students would be free to roam about the school building once the evening comes around.
Despite the fact that Aidou knew this is not the first time he had caught Wakaba Sayori loitering outside of the dormitory after curfew, but this was indeed the very first time that he noticed the girl leaving campus at such hours of the day. Knowing for a fact that the vampires are free to roam about during this period of time, and it was partly because of his curiosity and constant worry for the girl's safety. Aidou decided to follow Sayori silently from behind, taking it upon himself to act as the girl's bodyguard.
Wakaba Sayori sighed inwardly as she could not helped but noticed a certain blond vampire following her from behind silently, ever since she stepped out of the academy's ground. Usually, she might not have minded the fact that the blond had opted to follow her around but this evening, she would be meeting up with her elder brother to discuss certain things that she absolutely does not want the blond to hear about.
'Is there anything that I could do to keep him away?' Sayori could not helped but frowned in deep thoughts.
For a while, Sayori contemplated on the idea of taking a bus to town instead of walking over but she soon discarded that idea. After all, whom was to say for certainty that Aidou Hanabusa would never hopped on the bus? Besides, she had the image of Aidou Hanabusa gaining himself more fan-girls if he took a bus ride to town. Surprisingly, somehow she felt a twinge of annoyance upon the sheer idea of that possibility, much to her own confusion.
'Why am I feeling annoyed by the possibility of him gaining himself more supporters? It never did bothered me in the past, right?' Sayori could not helped but asked herself, in confusion. Deciding to just classify the slight twinge of annoyance under the fact that she finally had had enough of the fan girls coming towards her and bothering her on the subject of her non-existent relationship with Aidou Hanabusa, Sayori opted to disregard the matter entirely and continued her walk down the path that would leads her towards the direction of the town.
---
An hour later, Aidou Hanabusa returned to the school in a generally bad mood. He had followed Sayori out to town fearing for the girl's safety only to find the girl meeting up with some unknown guy, in a coffee house behaving rather cozy with one another. He know he might have over-reacted on the issue, since it remained a possibility of Sayori being involved with someone else in a romantically sense from outside despite having to stay on campus, practically all the time. Still, it did nothing to change the fact that he was upset and incredibly so.
Part of him had wanted to stalk up to the duo and dragged Sayori off upon catching sight of the way they had behaved in one another presence back in town, just now. The only thing that prevented him from acting on impulse was his logic and his knowledge of the fact that they were from two different world. Sayori belongs to the world of humans, whereas he belonged to the night society of the vampires. There would be no hope for them to be together, that much he knew and hence his reason for trying to neglect his own growing attraction towards the human girl.
He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he failed to realize the fact that he was approaching the direction of the Chairman's residence until he heard the unmistakable sound of Yuuki calling out for his attention. Blinking twice, he snapped himself out from his thoughts only to realize that the female guardian was questioning on his reason for coming over.
"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat around here? " He responded, and without waiting for an invitation he made his way through the front door of the Chairman's residence and proceeded to drop himself on an available seat that surrounded the dining table.
It was not until he settled himself down comfortably on the seat, did he finally realized that he now had several pairs of eyes upon himself regarding him with unmasked curiosity.
"What?! Why are the whole lot of you people staring at me?! " Aidou could not helped but snapped aloud in annoyance.
"I thought you said you aren't coming over to join us for dinner? Then why are you here now? " Akane started, sounding extremely curious about the blond vampire's sudden decision to join them for dinner at the Chairman's.
Aidou flushed crimson, red from embarrassment as he forced himself to respond in a calm-like manner. "Well, I'm hungry and since I was just around the vicinity so I thought I could try my luck out and see if there's any possibility of me finding some food for myself here, instead of having to head over to the cafeteria. "
Following the end of Aidou's response, the time-traveling trio stared at one another in unison before Akane pretended to cough while she hide the laughter that was threatening to erupt from her. Subaru, on the other hand, stared down at his own plate where his untouched piece of cake remained sitting innocently in front of him. Akira, on the other hand, just sighed before making a move to speak up.
" ... Honestly, Uncle Aidou ... You really need to stop the bad habit of venting your frustration by eating whenever you had problems in paradise. Its' unhealthy." Akira's sudden words startled the blond so bad that he nearly choked on the piece of cake he was being served by Yuuki, while waiting for the male guardian to cook them their dinner.
"What the hell?! " Aidou started as he stared at the younger boy in shock, before he recovered himself and said firmly. "I do not know what you are talking about! "
Akane snorted, before interjecting. "Oh please! Who are you trying to kid?! You are glaring at your cake with venom and stabbing it as though its' your loathsome arch-nemesis! Although, I had no idea what you have on your mind ... but it reminded me awfully of a certain friend of mine when he's jealous about something or someone."
Aidou Hanabusa spluttered un-intelligently, his cheeks turning red from both embarrassment and indignation at Akane's words before deciding that it was pointless to get himself worked up over the fact that Akane had managed to see through his mask of disguise. Therefore, he turned his attention back to the piece of cake sitting in front of him again. Only this time, instead of glaring at it with venom, he was staring sullenly down at it.
"Alright, enough chattering! No talking during meal-times, remember?! " Zero interrupted, as he came out from the kitchen placing a plate of lasagna in front of them.
"Yes, Daddy! " The twins chortled in unison, before requesting for more ketchup sauce.
Akane, meanwhile sprinkled some black pepper on her portion before scooping up a mouthful and chew upon it without hesitation. Aidou, on the other hand, stared down at his share of lasagna in skepticism before staring up at the silver-haired guardian and asked in a sarcastic manner.
"Are you sure this is edible, Kiryuu? "
Zero felt his eyebrow twitching slightly at the blond's words but he wisely remained silent. No point getting into an argument with the blond over something as trivial as the issue of 'food'. Deciding to disregard the blond entirely, Zero settled down at the dining table with his own portion and started to dig into his meal as well. Yuuki followed suit soon after, and he made sure that he had set aside some of the remaining lasagna for the Chairman's consumption at a later stage of time.
Dinner progressed on uneventfully, nothing much had happened unless you counted the incident of Aidou stealing Akira's share of dessert that got the younger twin upset as a disaster. The boy had wailed and complained loudly to Zero that his Uncle Aidou had stolen his mango pudding, which ended up with Zero placating the boy with his own share of the dessert.
---
After dinner, the twins huddled close to their daddy and even offered to help the silver-haired hunter out in the cleaning of the dishes. That ended up with Yuuki, Akane and Aidou seated on the sofa couch in silence, and randomly flipping through the channels on the television set. Unable to bear with the silence, Yuuki took a deep breath as she gathered up her courage to ask.
"So Akane, how's your project with Yori coming along? "
Akane blinked before registering the girl's question, and responded. "It's fine, I figured the whole project would be completed in another two days' time. "
Yuuki nodded, before turning towards the blue-eyed blond vampire and asked the first question that pops into mind. "So ... Aidou-Senpai, why aren't you with the rest of the night-class members today? "
"Nothing ... just don't feel like going out today ... " Aidou responded vaguely, not wanting to reveal too much of the reason behind his reluctance to join the rest of them at the council's meeting this evening.
"Eh? But I thought I saw Uncle Aidou leaving school earlier on ... " This coming from Akira, whom had just emerged from the inside of the kitchen during the period of time whereby his daddy was conversing with his elder twin sibling.
"What?!" Upon Akira's statement, Yuuki turned accusing eyes upon the blond and demanded for the fellow vampire to provide a reason for his leaving the academy without the permission granted by the Chairman.
"... Then perhaps, I thought I should inform you about your friend leaving campus without the Chairman's permission in advance too?! " Aidou snapped in irritation at the female guardian, stunning Yuuki for a moment before recognition dawns in on the absent-minded guardian.
"You mean, you saw Yori-chan leaving the academy just now? "
Aidou rolled his eyes in response at Yuuki's reaction, before gritting out a single term of 'Yes'.
"Then ... does that means that the reason why you left school earlier on, had something to do with Yori? " Yuuki continue to pressed on the issue, whereas Aidou continue to remain tight-lipped and refusing to provide the curious female guardian with any form of response.
"But why did Yori leave school without telling me in advance? Did she leave alone? " Yuuki continued to ask, despite knowing the fact that Aidou was going to ignore her.
Perhaps, the blond was getting irritated by Yuuki's constant questioning that he snapped. "Are you done with the endless questions?! Yes, she did leave the academy alone! That's why I thought I should follow her from behind, in case anything were to happen! As for why did she leave the school alone and without telling you in advance, I had no idea! So stop bothering me with these questions, go and ask her yourself! She's your friend, isn't she?! "
With that said, Aidou Hanabusa huffed and stalked out of the Chairman's residence leaving the female guardian gaping after him in shock.
Yuuki's mouth opened and closed in shock and surprise, but no words were formed. Eventually, she turned towards the only other remaining occupant in the room and asked. "What do you think happened to him?"
Akane shrugged, and replied. "No idea ... "
"Well ... that's why I said its' trouble in paradise! " Akira then piped up, causing Yuuki to stare at the boy in surprise as she blurted out in shock.
"Certainly, you don't mean that Aidou-Senpai is interested in Yori ... in that manner?! "
Akira just shrugged, not bothering to respond to the female guardian's query. Instead, he decided to just leave it to Yuuki's imagination and who knows? He might end up enjoying a free show of entertainment of his Aunt Yuuki trying to match-make his Uncle Aidou with Aunt Sayori.
Akane sighed inwardly as she turned away from the group, and focused her attentions on the TV commercial that was showing on screen. It was another commercial video featuring their resident night-class part-time models, Touya Rima and Shiki Senri. Zero Kiryuu, just stared at Yuuki and Akira in bewilderment before turning away from the duo and decided to join Akane in front of the television set, instead of spending his time trying to figure out just what exactly was going on in the minds of Yuuki and Akira.
Subaru, on the other hand, just sighed and shake his head in defeat upon catching sight of the mischievous glint in the eyes of his twin brother.
Yuuki, meanwhile, was seriously contemplating on the possibility of Aidou Hanabusa being interested in her friend in a romantically sense of manner. Deciding to leave things be for the moment, and continued to observe the blond's actions around them for the time-being before coming to draw any conclusion with regards to the matter.
