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: Haha ...yeah, Sayori's a so-called bodyguard of Zero ... and I wouldn't call her a hunter, their family does not served the association directly, because they only obeyed the orders coming from the Fujiwara. However, I guess one could say that she's a free-lance vampire hunter. ^^;;
I apologized for the delay, but I'm really tight on the schedule hence I can't really find time to write the fic. Here's only what I've written thus far, and its' not even 80% completed. However, not wanting to be 'kill' by the readers out there, I've decided to post up what I have for the moment.

Chapter 23 - Party of the Night Society, Part 2 (A)
Yuuki Cross had been waiting patiently for her friend, Wakaba Sayori to re-emerge from the washroom, when she noticed a little boy crying near the entrance of the store. Placing the few items which she had been inspecting back on the display cabinet, Yuuki headed towards the little boy and asked.
"Little boy, what's wrong? Why are you crying? "
The boy shakes his head as he continued to cry and made a move to keep a tight grip on Yuuki's coat sleeve. "I want my mommy."
That was all that the boy was willing to say, causing Yuuki to sigh aloud in resignation. Turning towards the shop vendor, Yuuki said.
"I'm taking the little boy out in search for his mother, if Sayori came out from the washroom while I'm away. Tell her not to worry, and that I would go back to the school myself. "
Akina, the shop vendor nodded in response to Yuuki's request though she was frowning when Yuuki led the little boy away to go in search for the little boy's mother.
Sayori, on the other hand, was in the back of the shop's storage room doing a quick check on the weapons that she had ordered in from the supplier online. Two boxes of poison darts, and one box of darts laced with transquilizer. With a nod of satisfaction, Sayori proceeded to place the three boxes of darts into her backpack carefully before hiding them underneath several of her textbooks. Although, she highly doubted that anyone would attempt to inspect or ransack her bag but it was always good to be prepared for the unexpected.
With that settled, Sayori headed back to the front of the shop. However, instead of finding Yuuki in front of the display cabinet. Sayori found someone else, probably another walk-in customer for the day. With a sigh, she headed towards the shop vendor hoping to find some clues as to where her friend had wandered off by herself.
"Akina-san, did my friend tell you where she was heading off for? "
"She said to inform you that she would go back to the school herself, apparently she's off in search for the mother of a lost boy who had wandered into the shop earlier on while you are away. " The shop vendor, Akina responded.
"... I see. In that case, please let her know that I'll be waiting for her in the Ice-Cream Palor should she decided to drop by later." Sayori told Akina, the shop vendor despite knowing that the chances of Yuuki ended up wandering off elsewhere and got herself caught red-handed by a certain silver-haired guardian was far more possible then heading back to the shop, in search for her.
"Sure, I'll be sure to inform your friend if she did made it a point to come back here in search for you. " Akina responded, good-naturedly.
"Good, I'll see you again then. " With that said, Sayori made a move to depart from the store.

In the meantime, Yuuki was getting more and more uneasy as she followed the boy around the town aimlessly.
"Boy, are you certain that we are heading towards the right direction? " Yuuki asked, for the surrounding area about her was getting more deserted and eerily silent with the every steps that they took.
The boy walking ahead of Yuuki ignored the questions asked, and instead just continued to walk on. After what seems like an eternity, the boy finally stopped and stood silently in front of an abandoned building.
"Thank you, big sister. I've found my mother...! " The little boy then turned around to face Yuuki, beaming innocently and happily up at the female guardian of the Cross Academy. Then the boy proceeded to give Yuuki a 'hug' to show his appreciation towards the chocolate-brown haired girl.
"Eh?!" Yuuki's eyes widen, despite finding it strange that the boy's mother was hanging around such unpopulated area, heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing the boy's words. "That's good ... " Yuuki started, before she was hit by a sudden dizzy spell and fainted on the spot.
The little boy smirked for a split second, before making his way down towards the underground basement of the abandoned building smugly.
No later than ten minutes later, Aidou Hanabusa and his cousin, Akatsuki Kain had arrived together with the rest of the night-class members came across the unconscious figure of Yuuki Cross sprawled in front of the building entrance-way.
Without a word spoken to one another, the two cousins step aside and create a path-way for their pureblood leader to reach the unconscious girl.
Zero Kiryuu frowned as he refrained himself from cursing aloud while the pureblood, Kaname Kuran stepped up front to examine the unconscious figure of his 'adopted' sister.
"Ah...ah, seems like Yuuki had a knack of getting herself landed in trouble. " Kaname commented, as he picked the unconscious girl up from the ground easily and made his way towards one of the guest rooms situated within the building owned by the Aidou's family.
Zero, on the other hand, was puzzled beyond reasoning as to why the female guardian was loitering around such deserted areas of the town. Still, knowing that this was neither the place nor time to be questioning the unconscious girl about her un-timely presence just outside of a social party hosted by the aristocrat society of the vampires. Zero wisely opted to follow the lead of Kaname Kuran, wordlessly.
