The Chairman ran down the hallway and burst through the door. He looked in horror at the scene unveiled before him. Kaname stood still as a statue in the middle, literally in the middle, of a dead body and Yuuki was still sound asleep in her bed. The Chairman looked incredulously at his sleeping daughter. How could she still be asleep after what happened?
"Kaname, what happened?" Kaien Cross asked.
Kaname did not reply, he was lost within himself. The Chairman saw the knife on the ground and saw that it was a hunter's knife and realized in horror what had happened. He took the head from Kaname's still hands and tried to identify the face. It was none that he recognized.
"Judging by his clothing, he was a skilled hunter," Cross said calmly. "Perhaps we should wake Yuuki up."
"No." Kaname stirred from his trance. "No. I don't want her to see this." He had decided what he needed to do. He sent a bat from his finger out through the window to give a message to Seiren. She needed to return.
Cross nodded.
"I notified Hanabusa and Akatsuki, they're on their way."
As soon as he mentioned their names, he heard them running down the hall into the room. Two stunned noble vampires appeared. Kaien Cross explained to them the situation.
"Why is Yuuki Kuran even here? When did she come back?" A shocked Hanabusa reacted.
Kaname nodded slightly to Akatsuki, thanking him for the secrecy that he had promised him earlier that morning.
"She's going to stay with me from now on," Kaname concluded, eyeing Kaien Cross to see his reaction to this. He was still her father anyways. Cross nodded. "She'll be safe."
"I will handle this tomorrow," Kaname dismissed. He picked up Yuuki in his arms, soaking her white nightgown in the process with the blood on his hands and sleeves. He jumped out the window and appeared beside his bed in the Night Dormitory a moment later. She really slept through anything. He put her on the bed just as Seiren appeared outside the room.
"Kaname-kun, I have done what you asked."
"Thank you, Seiren. I will protect Yuuki-chan tonight, please guard the door to make sure we are not disturbed."
Seiren bowed and disappeared from sight. Kaname closed the door and locked it.
He was going to teach Yuuki a lesson.
