I do not own Vampire Knight, or any of its characters, but I do own Ayame Cross/Kuran.
~Third Person's POV~
A short while later Ayame begins to awaken, with a mild headache. Groaning as she covers her face with her hands and turn over onto her stomach. A smooth voice interrupts her, "you are dehydrated, that is why your head aches", startled Ayame whips her head in the direction of the voice, to see Kaname Kuran, lounging comfortably on her couch. Almost instantly regretting the action as it causes her vision to swim, and her headache to intensify.
"Go away…Kuran", is the only thing she manages to get out in between her groans of pain. Sighing at her stubbornness the pureblood ignores her order in favor of pouring her a glass of water along and opening a pack of headache tablets. He holds them in front of her face, "Drink" he says in a tone that leaves no room for argument.
Glaring at the pureblood defiantly, "what part of 'go away' don't you understand." She spat sitting up from the bed. Her attempt to intimidate the pureblood failed epically, her adorable bedhead combined with her wrinkled clothing and narrowed eyes, made her look 'glare' look like a ticked off toddler pouting after a tantrum. Try as he might the usually stoic pureblood could not resist the almost unnoticeable twitch of his lips, from the smile threatening to take over his face. Something that did not go unnoticed by Ayame, huffing irritably at her failure to intimidate the pureblood, she gently grasped the glass and medicine tablets from his hands, "thank you", she mumbled with her head down. Embarrassed by the display of childish behavior in front of one of the highly respected vampire.
Attempting the hid the growing blush rising on her cheeks, Ayame swallowed the pills and used cool condensation from the glass to cool her heated cheeks. Forcing herself to look into the eyes of the pureblood, "what happened? Where is Yuki?" she asked curiously.
Kaname took the glass from her hands, allowing their hands to touch and linger for longer than was necessary, "well, I overheard the headmaster speaking to Kiryu. He lost Yuki in the town and you had gone off to find her but neither of them knew where you two were. I found the two of you in the tower, there was a Level-E attacking you, I disposed of it." He finishes in an even tone. Taking an unnecessary breathe, "you fainted promptly afterwards from dehydration. Luckily, I caught you before you hit the ground, then I proceeded to heroically cart the comatose damsel in distress, back to her castle, and ensued to lie to young maiden on her bed, upon which I awakened her with true loves kiss and they all lived happily ever after" he finished all the while monotone.
Then there was silence, Ayame stared at Kaname stunned at his unusual behavior, and then she began to giggle. The giggling continued until she was panting and gasping for breath and her heart pounded at the sight of a gentle smile on Kaname's face. "That not funny, you know I loved that story," she said playfully glaring at him.
Kaname's smile grew at the playful look on Ayame's face, "I know better than anyone, you made me read it to you every time I came to visit you. And if I did not, you refused to speak to me until I did. So yes, I know the story by heart, thanks to you." He scolded teasingly.
Rolling her eyes, "well no one forced you. You did not have to seek my company, therefore it was a bargained price to be honored with the privilege of breathing the same air as someone as mature and sophisticated as myself." She teases haughtily, narrowing her eyes at the pureblood.
The two then proceeded to have an intense blinking contest to the point where their noses were almost touching and they could feel each breath the other took, neither wanting to break eye contact and lose to the other. The 'match' was interrupted by a knock on the door, causing Ayame to jump back from Kaname's reach, as if they were doing something wrong, "come in" she said after clearing her throat.
The door was opened slowly by none other than Yuki Cross, carrying a meal tray filled with dinner for two, "Ayame, I thought you would be hungry so I- K-K-Kaname-S-Sempi I did not know you were here. Have you been here this whole time?" she asked already knowing the answer.
With a sigh, Kaname rose from the plush couch, "yes, Yuki. I stayed to ensure that Ayame had not sustained any injuries during your visit into town. Now that I see she is in good health, I shall take my leave," he says while helping Yuki to place the tray on the dresser.
"Good day, Ayame. Yuki", Kaname said as he left his eyes as always lingering on the white haired beauty who was too busy examining the food her sister brought to offer any response more than a distracted nod in his general direction. Yuki on the other very aware of his presence as always blushed and attempted to stutter out something resembling a response.
Sighing at lack of attention, he received from Ayame, Kaname sighed quietly and finally left. Yuki also sighed from lack of attention from her pureblood crush and the obliviousness of her twin. She then turned to glare at said girl who sensing eyes on her this time turned to face the annoyed glare of her twin.
Tilting her head to the side slightly and adorably, she blinked in confusion, "what?" she asked unaware of what had just played out between herself, her sister, and Kaname.
It was another silent night as the Night Class students attended their class and the Day Class students slept, that was except for the Cross Academy prefect, "I'm on patrol. I'm on patrol. I'm on patrol!"(A.N.: Can anyone tell me that reference?) sang Ayame Cross as she…patrolled.
Suddenly she froze picking up the sound of someone panting from around the corner and the sound of footsteps heading in that direction, "Zero" she heard Yuki exclaim, "quit slacking on your round. Ayame and I can't cover the entire campus alone"
Rounding the corner slowly without alerting her adopted siblings of her presence she watched from the shadows. Suddenly there was a groan of pain "Yuki... go…get away from me", Zero grounded out through clenched teeth, his breathing coming out in harsh pants, "…Please…" he whispered desperately.
Confused and cautious Yuki reached out a hand to Zero's shoulder, "Zero…Are you ok? Should I get Ayame or the headmaster?" she asked, approaching him as if he was a wounded animal.
Suddenly his head snapped up to reveal glowing red eyes, causing both Yuki and Ayame to gasp. After a moment's hesitation Ayame unsheathed her dagger and rushed to Yuki, taking a protective stance in front of her sister. "Yuki go." Ayame whispered to her stunned sister.
Zero snarled at them both, clutching his tattooed neck waking steps closer to the twin sisters. Ayame tenses her muscles and waited for the hunter turned vampire to get closer, once he was close enough she sprung delivering two swift but powerful kicks to his torso and face hoping to buy time. Not wasting another second she turned to her sister, shaking Yuki from her state of shock" go get the headmaster. Do not talk to anyone else. Go Yuki" seeing the hesitation on her sister's face she quickly shook her head, "No Yuki I don't have time to argue just listen to me"
With a reluctant nod, Yuki fled in search of help, leaving to two hunter together. Breathing a sigh of relief Ayame attempted to turn back to her adopted brother only to be stopped by the hand of said brother locking around her, holding her with her back to his chest. Cautiously the female hunter spoke, "Zero… I know you can hear me. I trust you Oni-sama, but please hold on just a little longer help is on the way"
Her only response was a dark chuckle as Zero ran his tongue along an artery in her neck. Ayame tensed mentally preparing herself for the bite that was bound to come at any second, and yet she could not prevent the gasp that escaped he lips as his fangs invaded her body. The only sound in the hall was the deep gulping and slurping coming from the vampire feeding and the occasional whimper for the girl. Taking in a breathe as she became lightheaded from the blood loss, "Zero, please stop. That's enough. Please" she spoke barley above a whisper as dots appeared in her vision.
In one last attempt at survival, Ayame strengthened her grip on her dagger, and put all her energy into her arm stabbing at the vampire's thigh, causing him to release her as he attempted to soothe the sudden pain in his left leg. After the wound healed his head snapped up again, eyes crazed and face smattered with her blood. Ayame once again could not hold in the gasp at seeing her beloved brother in such a state, "Oni-sama…" she whispered fearfully,
Suddenly as if that was the magic word Zero froze mid crouch, his eyes returning to their original violet hue ad his fangs retracted. Taking a shocked step back, his eyes wide in horror of what he had just done, "Ayame…" he breathed shaking his head as it to awaked form a horrible nightmare, "No… I'm- I'm so s-sorry," he breathed in disbelief,
Tearfully she smiled, grateful for the return of her brother, "Zero…" she breathed throwing her arms around him in an embrace, as her small frame shook from silent sob, "I thought I had finally lost you. I was so scared Oni-sama" she squeezed him tighter has his arms wound around her back returning the embrace,
Suddenly there was the sound of distant footsteps approaching the siblings, turning their head at the sound both sibling were shocked at the appearance of "Kaname…"
The pureblood remained silent; however, the murderous look in his eyes spoke volumes as to the expertly concealed rage that live inside of him. And with a voice so dripping of poison that Ayame shivered regardless of the fact that the words were not directed at her, he spoke, "So your cravings for blood have finally turned you into a beast, Kiryu", Kaname spat the last word as if it were a curse falling from his lips.
Suddenly Kaname turned his attention to Ayame, his eyes still filled with rage and hatred, causing the girl to unconsciously place distance between herself and the pureblood, and at the same time causing his gaze to soften dramatically at her ashen skin and fearful face. Until his eyes fell onto the wound at her neck that continued to drip with her blood despite the pressure she placed on it, his eyes once again hardened. Turning his back to Ayame and attempting to take a protective stance in front of her to protect her from the hunter turned Level-E.
However already aware of his policy for dealing with Level-E vampire Ayame sprang into action, quickly taking a protective stance in front of her own brother with a defiant look in her eye. That was until her head began to swim from the blood loss, acting quickly Kaname caught her and gently cradled her in his arms. Blushing at the new position Ayame began to protest despite the increasing fatigue of her body, "No Kaname, put me down…I'm fine…don't touch my brother…", she murmured as she weakly pushed against his muscular chest, " don't you…dare…" that was all she could get out before she fainted.
Kaname looked down at the beauty in his arms for the second time today, smiling gently at the felling of her in his arms before he returned his attention to the other vampire in front of him. Snarling viciously Kaname spoke, "" "You devoured her mercilessly, didn't you Zero? So much, she can't even stand."
Kaname then began walking up the steps until he stopped. He looked over his shoulder, eyes piecing imaginary daggers through Zero's body as he said, "So how was Ayame's blood? Was it delicious?", to this question he received no response as Zero glanced away from Kaname's cold glare toward his blood stained hands and clothes in despair.
There was silence in the Cross Academy infirmary as Kaname cleaned and bandaged Ayame's neck wound; "The bleeding has stopped now, though he bit you rather deeply" he spoke regretfully, as if blaming himself for the incident. After placing the final bandage on the wound, he looked down at the white haired teen, lost in her thoughts with tears in her eyes. Touching her face to gain her attention, Kaname asked, "does it hurt?" in return the pureblood received a simple shake of the head. Pausing for a moment as if pondering his next words, "are you afraid of vampires now?" he asked gently.
With a harsh glare and the rough shake of her head, Ayame caused Kaname to release her face, "I will never fear my brother!" she spoke sternly, while not actually answering the question presented to her.
A knock sounded interrupting anything that Kaname was going to say, Kaien walked and looked at his youngest daughter before turning to Kaname, "Kaname, would you mind going back to class? The smell of blood has caused a stir in the Night Class …"
Nodding while keeping his eyes on the girl, Kaname spoke, "Alright." He said as he stood before walking out the door. The father walked over toward his daughter and delicately placed a hand to her bandage as he said, "I already brought Zero to his dorm and got him settled in…he seems to have calmed down a bit." Ayame nodded silently, eyes on the ground.
The headmaster sighed, gently patting the top of his daughters head, "despite knowing what Zero all these years I know it came as a shock to actually see him acting like a vampire… especially given…", he trailed off not wanting to utter the actually words but not needing to either way. Finally the mask of indifference fell and Ayame embraced her father tightly, holding on to him as if he were going to disappear if she failed to hold on tightly enough, Kaien said nothing as he returned the embrace petting her hair gently as his daughter's body shock violently with every silent sob.
As she aimlessly wandered, the halls of Cross Academy Ayame stumbled upon a private conversation between the headmaster and Kaname. As she passed by the Headmaster office she froze as she heard the voice of Kaname saying, "So, how long do you intend to keep Kiryu in the day class?" stealthily she moved pressing her face to the door and peeked into the room.
The headmaster rubbed his palms together before folding them and resting his chin on his clasped hands as he responded to Kaname "Oh well…never in this school's history has a student been transferred from Day Class to Night." Kaien stated.
Kaname clenched his jaw angrily at the headmasters response, "The precedent is irrelevant. This is a special case, and the transfer is necessary", he spoke causing Ayame to release a silent gasp of shock, 'They are moving Zero to the night class?' she thought to herself frowning at the very idea of her vampire hating brother stuck in a class of vampires whom hated the hunter equally. Shaking her head defiantly as she came to a decision Ayame backed away from the door and ran in the direction of the boy's dormitory, forgetting to muffle her steps as she went. Kaname glanced over toward the door curiously; as he heard, her footsteps disappear, wondering exactly how much of the conversation was heard.
Ayame stood outside the boy's dorms of the Day Class students and looked up to Zero's windows contemplating exactly what she was going to say and do. Ayame then thought back to anytime Zero was around the Night Class. 'Zero was raised as a vampire hunter, and he lost his family because of a vampire…the same vampire who then turned him into the very creature he was raised to exterminate', she thought to herself. Ayame suddenly began to wonder if Zero hated himself as well, or at least the part of himself that was a vampire. Suddenly filled with a surge of determination, Ayame decided that she would do her best to protect her brother, no matter the cost because Zero had already lost everything he cared for once and if his humanity was the last thing he had, she would protect her brothers happiness with her life. Turning away from the dorms feeling more protective of Zero than she had in a while Ayame glanced at her brothers window one last time and thought, 'I won't fail you Oni-Chan' nodding to herself.
After noticing that Zero had yet to return to class Ayame decided to talk to Kaname and see if there was any way of convincing him that Zero was not a danger to the Day Class, it was a stretch since he was a Level-E vampire and that kind of vampire was not known for their control. On the other hand, Zero had been fighting his Level-E nature for years and only had a momentary lapse before he regained control of himself. 'Yea' she thought to herself, 'I can do this. If not for me than for Zero' she reassure herself as she displayed her prefect badge to the gatekeeper, who then allowed her entrance.
Ayame headed straight to the Moon Dorms and opened the door when she heard a voice say, "Oh, if it isn't my little Aya- Chan.", locating the voice coming from Aido Hanabusa, who was lounging across one of the living room couches.
Ayame gave a slight grimace at the vampire before schooling her features into a look of cool indifference "Oh, hello Aido." Ayame said small smile in his direction.
Only then did she notice two important looking gentlemen were sitting on the couch across from Aido. Which also drew his attention back to the two men, "Time for you guys to leave!" Aido stated as he pushed the two out of the building while they struggled and protested. Closing the door Aido turned back to Ayame, "The sun is so bright…and now I'm tired and irritated…" Aido grumbled as her wiped the sleep out of his eyes.
Ayame immediately felt guilty for her part in keeping the nocturnal vampire up "I'm sorry to just barge in like this, but…" Ayame trailed off as Aido glanced to her.
Sighing dramatically, Aido replied, "…I'm not annoyed by you, just them." He yawned. Then curiosity stuck him, "why are you here anyway? Everyone is still sleep…" Aido pointed out until he thought of something. He placed his arm around her shoulder as he grinned devilishly before saying, "Oh I know! You want me to drink your blood!", he nearly shouted excitedly.
Shaking her head frantically in denial, "Um…well, not now, not ever really…I actually needed to see Kaname-sempi" she finished firmly
Dropping his head in disappointment that the snow haired beauty had not come to offer him her delicious blood, "Oh well…" Aido sighed as he began walking upstairs.
Unsure of the cause behind the sudden change in Aido Ayame simply followed the blond vampire, "So then, you'll take me to him?" Ayame asked awkwardly,
Nodding his head he answered, "Lord Kaname is only nice to you or Yuki…the rest of us just follow his lead." Aido spoke more to himself than to Ayame then he suddenly stopped and glanced over his shoulder. Tilting his head to the side in confusion he asked, "So Ayame, whose bite marks are those?", he spoke with his eyes on her neck bandage.
Caught off guard by the shift of the conversation and mood swings of the Night Class students, Ayame's brilliant reply was, "Huh?" Ayame touched her neck bandage only to feel smooth skin and Aido with her bandage in his hand.
Aido leaned comfortably against the railing of the stairs as he continued, "Last night, the smell of blood floated into our classroom…it was quite shocking to all of us, but I knew who it belonged to. The blood I smelt…it was your Ayame…," he said, his eyes darkening in remembrance of the delicious smell of her blood. Before he shook himself out of his daydream to continue, "Lord Kaname told us to all ignore it, which we did and the excitement died down soon after", he finished and crossed his arms over his chest as he awaited a response.
Blinking at the vampire, instead of answering his previous question, she posed one of her own, "That's what Kaname said?" Ayame asked curiously.
Suddenly the candles that were lit went out as Aido hissed, "Ayame…just what are you to Lord Kaname?!", he demanded more than asked, taking a dangerous step towards the girl. Ayame took a step back at his tone of voice. Aido touched the railing, causing ice to shoot down and Ayame jumped back quickly, narrowly missing the ice that froze over the spot her foot once was. Once she landed Ayame looked up, into the eyes of the predator, the look in her eyes so cold the temperature in the rood dropped even more, if that were possible. Slowly she reached her hand to grab her dagger, all the while her eye still locked on Aido, "Aido…", she said warning him of oncoming danger with that one word,
He jumped down the few he had left and stood at the bottom of the stairs, "Tell me, he likes you…but why?, he demanded his face contorting in to an animalistic snarl.
Wearily, Ayame looked at the vampire before she answered hesitantly, "…I don't know…recently he saved me from a vampire…" Ayame answered deciding the best way to buy time would be to humor the vampire with answers, while she unnoticeably tensed and worked her muscles to prepare for a sudden attack.
Surprised by the answer Aido was silent for a second before he said, "Really? I had no idea… then you realize you are forever indebted to him and to express your gratitude you should let him drink every ounce of you blood." He stepped closer to the couch the girl was currently standing on, all the while his eyes on her bite marks. Nodding to himself as if agreeing with whatever he had decided in his mind, "It all makes sense except for the bite marks…because they're not his.", Aido spoke surely with no doubt or uncertainty in his voice. He looked deeply into her wine colored eyes to express the seriousness of the words he uttered, "You may not share your blood with anyone else, including me Ayame because it no longer belong to you, it belongs to Lord Kaname. Just imagine one day, they'll be graced by the lips of Lord Kaname, and then ever so slowly his fangs will piece your neck and finally, when the sound of him drinking your blood rings in your ears, you will experience true ecstasy." He placed a hand on the back of the couch still looking directly into her eyes, "Why don't you just offer yourself to Lord Kaname right now? You should plead with him to drink your blood ", he spoke all the while smirking maliciously at the girl.
Finally confident of her physical state the girl spoke, "That's enough Aido!" Ayame exclaimed finally expressing the outrage she had felt since the blonde fool had opened his mouth.
Amused that he human had dared to order him, he continued to provoke her, "What? Did I upset you?" he asked as he gripped the couch back, causing the entire couch to freeze as well.
Once again, Ayame jumped landing on the coffee table, "Aido, I said that's enough!" Ayame raised her voice and scowled at the vampire tensing her muscles into a predatory crouch preparing herself to pounce on then promptly pummel to blonde, to be embraced from behind by Kaname Kuran.
Holding onto her for a moment before he spoke, "No, Ayame.", he spoke softly his lips directly behind her ear, causing a shiver to run through the girl that.
Shocked by the sudden appearance of the very reason that the entered the dwelling of the Night Class, she stuttered out, "K-K-Kaname…when did you…?" Ayame asked unconsciously as her body unwillingly relaxed into the arms of Kaname as she glanced down only to find the ice gone.
Nervous in the presence of the new addition to the room, Aido prepared to plead his case, "Lord Kaname ", Aido quickly shut his mouth the nearly emotionless look from Kaname, that was only marred by the rage displayed in his eyes.
Kaname then released reluctantly Ayame, only to slap Aido across the face before the human eyes of Ayame Cross could blink. Ayame eyes widened at the impressive speed that she had not seen Kaname display in a long time. Kaname allowed a second to calm his rage before he asked, "Who put you up to this?", his eyes on the reddened check of Aido Hanabusa.
Shaking his head frantically, in hope that he did not further upset his leader he answered, "No one sir, it was all me and I was out of line…Pardon my actions." Aido knelt. Eyes closed as if expecting another blow, Aido asked, "Will you please forgive me, Lord Kaname?", seeking forgiveness and approval from his leader.
Yet he received not answer as Kaname simply said, "Leave.", his eyes drawn back to Ayame who sat comfortably on one of the couches as she watched the altercation in silence.
Nodding his head quickly once more, "Yes sir!" Aido picked himself up and ran up the stairs.
After seating himself on the same couch, which she lounged on, he spoke, "That was a unpleasant situation…forgive me, Ayame.", he brought up his hand to caress her cheek as he looked into her eyes.
Mesmerized by the intense look that Kaname was giving her Ayame nearly forgot to reply "No its fine, no blood no foul." Ayame murmured turning her face away for the pureblood as an adorable and embarrassing blush quickly rose on her pale cheeks.
Smirking softly at the sight of her innocent blush, Kaname cleared his throat and gripped her chin softly to turn her face towards his once more, then he spoke, "Alright…all I ask is that remain the same, Ayame. You are the only one that stands apart from all the others that serve me. Ayame, I can feel your warmth, something that I treasure dearly." Ayame blush once more, this time standing and freeing herself from his intense gaze. All the while wondering why Kaname always appeared so melancholy and at the same time why no one else seemed to notice it. Ayame was broken out of her thoughts by the smooth voice of Kaname Kuran, "Now then, you should be off, you do have class." He said standing directly in her line of vision, as he placed a hand on her shoulder, seeming unable to refrain from touching her today, before he continued to warn her "In the future, , come with Zero. This place is too dangerous for you to come here alone. I do believe he owes you that much considering all that he took from you." Ayame tensed at the mention of the incident but not because of her brother's action, but the tone of voice Kaname spoke in when referring to Zero.
Feeling her anger rising at rapid rates due to Kaname's carless attitude toward the suffering of her beloved brother Ayame quickly freed herself from his grasped and shouted angrily, "That's not fair to Zero! Why on earth would you even think to say something like that about my brother to me?! I love him, and I would do anything in my power to ease his suffering. So if he has to take from me so that he does not live his life while experiencing perpetual agony, so be it." Kaname breathed deeply as he pulled her collar down to revel two fine dots that blemished Ayame otherwise perfect skin, "Do I really have to explain why?", he spoke as he touched a gentle finger to the bite, "you see the answer itself is quite simple… I cannot ignore the fact that Kiryu bit into the one girl I hold dearly.", he spoke looking deeply into her eyes, allowing her to feel the weight and truth behind his words.
Stunned by the unexpected confession, Ayame could only utter one word, "Kaname…" Ayame whispered breathlessly, before suddenly remembering why she had come in the first place. After shaking herself free from her confusing thoughts, Ayame spoke, "Kaname, I came to make a request… actually more like ask for a favor", she spoke determined to help her brother.
Curious what the first request Ayame had made for him in a long time he tilted his head and look questionably into her eyes, "And that is…?" he sounded.
Taking a deep breathe to calm herself, "Please don't transfer Zero to the Night Class!", she begged desperately.
Not a completely unexpected request for Ayame seeing as Kaname did not look the least bit shocked by this request, "And why not?" He simply asked curious of how she planned to persuade him.
Glad that he had not immediately declined her request she continued, "Zero's been battling this all by himself, for years. Since I have meet him in fact and not once has, he suffered any kind of lapse up until the other day. We are so close and I know that a transfer to the Night Class will only intensify his struggles. I know what he is turning into, but with the support of the headmaster and myself, he has lasted all these years. Please reconsider the transfer…he can do it, I believe in him", she found herself gripping the collar of his shirt and gazing pleadingly into his wine colored eyes.
Sighing at her attachment to the Level-E, Kaname spoke "Ayame, your heart is to kind, but you should not worry yourself with matters such as this", he took her hands from his shirt gently and massaged them with his own.
Becoming more desperate, Ayame continued to argue for he brother, "Please! I should have known something was wrong that night! I could have helped him better, but no one was hurt. I will stay close with him. You don't understand, when I found out he was a vampire, I was shocked, but then I realized it was not his fault or choice and that I should not punish him for something that was beyond his control. And that is exactly what you are doing" she accused the pureblood.
Tears that she held in so desperately finally began to fall as Kaname once again cupped his hand around her flushed cheek. "Forgive me Ayame, but this is one request that I cannot grant, even coming from you. Any human that transforms into vampires, eventually degenerates into a Level-E. You know this Ayame, you also know how dangerous they are to others" Ayame's eyes continued to tear up as she thought of all the Level-E's that she had seen and slayed, unable to imagine her brother in their place. Ayame turned her back to Kaname and hugged her arms around her body, unable to deal with even the thought. Petting her hair softly Kaname said, "it is obvious that Zero cares for you, Ayame. I am doing you both a favor, for he wouldn't want you to witness him in such a state" he continued to comfort her by petting her hair.
Bracing herself for rejection once again, "So you mean there is nothing I can do", Ayame asked hopefully despite already being aware of the answer. Instead, however, all she received as silence that was enough to finally break what little home she had left, "thank you for your time Kaname-Sempi" she whispered tearfully and quickly ran out of the Night Dorms with tears falling rapidly.
