"Kaname, what are you looking at?" Takuma asks curiously, looking up from the paperwork he's been helping with when he realizes that Kaname hasn't moved his pen for a few minutes now, the man's eyes on the window, instead.
"Who knows..." Kaname murmurs.
The gentle smile on his lips causes for Takuma to shake his head. He's fairly sure he knows.
In the distance, the day classes are gathered outside, a sports festival going on. The distance isn't a problem to Kaname, the view isn't obstructed. Besides, if it was, he'd just use a familiar.
He watches as Eiri has a hand on her hip, pointing at Zero Kiryu while saying something or another, a pout firm on her lips. She lost to Zero again, coming in second during a relay race - still a good feat considering the male's less than normal physical abilities, but not something the girl finds satisfaction with. It had been close, as all their (one sided) matches tend to be.
Zero rolls his eyes at whatever she's saying, not even bothering with a reply, which only seems to make Eiri's eye twitch, before her red headed friend sheepishly drags her off.
Kaname shakes his head slightly. If she'd just let him bite her, there'd be no one in the day classes she wouldn't be able to beat.
However, when he'd suggested that, albeit (half-)jokingly, Eiri had declared him a moron, and stormed out in a huff and she'd avoided him for nearly two weeks. The memory never fails to make Kaname sigh. Why must she always make things so difficult...?
He watches as Eiri approaches a blonde male from a different class, leaning close to him as she talks, obviously still pouting. Kaname recognizes the guy - as far as day class males go, Saeki in undoubtedly Eiri's favorite.
When Takuma next looks up, Kaname is gone.

"I will definitely beat him in the 200 meter dash," Eiri huffs. Even if the girls and guys participate separately, she can simply beat his time during her own round, she is sure of it.
"I'm sure..." Saeki drawls out, not at all interested in what Eiri and Zero are up to (or in this case, what they aren't up to).
"Oi, oi." Eiri narrows her eyes a bit. "What's that supposed to-" she pauses, then turns around and peers into the distance.
Confused by the way she suddenly stops talking (because Saeki knows enough about Eiri to know that it's definitely not an easy feat to get her to quiet down once she gets going), he looks up as well. He recognizes the white uniform in the distance, before he actually recognizes the person wearing it. "What could Kuran-senpai be doing here?"
"Maybe he came to deliver a message to someone," Eiri says, suppressing a smirk. She knows exactly why Kaname is here.
"He doesn't appear to be moving," Saeki says, doubtful. He starts feeling a bit uncomfortable, like someone is staring at him. The distance is too great for him to realize that the person who is staring at him is Kaname.
Eiri grins. "Maybe he's still trying to find the person in the crowd," She can sense it- the way the air becomes heavy. Her hip touches Saeki's and she can feel, rather than see, that Kaname isn't very pleased.
Well, no matter. If she'd obediently pull back from what she's doing just for that, she wouldn't be Eiri. Instead, she turns her back to Kaname and stands on her toes, tugging Saeki down a bit and brushing her lips over his cheek. "For good luck," she smirks at him.
Saeki sends her an unreadable look, and then simply shakes his head. He feels like something bad is about to happen, the uncomfortable feeling he has only increasing inside his chest. He starts to walk off to where his class is gathering. Whatever is going on between those two (because regardless of Eiri's words, he's fairly sure that he knows exactly who Kaname is there to see), he has no intention of getting caught in the middle of it.

"Why must you always test me so?" Kaname sighs.
"Because if I don't, who will?" Eiri smirks at him.
Its break now, and during the entire sports festival so far, Kaname hadn't moved yet, regardless of it being day time and the sun being high in the sky. Taking a little pity on the guy, Eiri decided to slip out from the crowd and to join him.
From the way his eyes have a pinkish sheen to them, she can see she'd waited too long in doing so; Kaname is very upset with her right now.
'Oh well,' she thinks.
"You appear to be enjoying yourself,"
"Sure am," Eiri waits for Kaname to simply say what he's wanted to say all this time, but the vampire seems content in dragging it out.
"So you are," Kaname keeps his eyes on Eiri and Eiri sighs, realizing that if she doesn't ask, he probably won't tell. Honestly, must he become so problematic when he sulks?
"So? What do you actually want to say?" She asks, giving in. She has the feeling they'll be here for a long time if she doesn't.
Kaname reaches out, brushing his fingers over the long bangs that fall past Eiri's face. "I really don't see why you must always test me so," he murmurs, sounding regretful.
Eiri can't quite stifle the uncomfortable feeling growing in the pit of her stomach. No matter how gentle Kaname tends to appear, she is fully aware that he is anything but.
"It makes me want to lock you up somewhere where no one can ever see you again," Kaname continues in that same tone, as the silver strands of hair slip through his fingers.
Eiri sends him an awkward look. "I'm going to go back, now." She says in a fairly plain tone.
"Yes, I do believe that you still have the rest of the sports day, do you not?" Kaname says before he smiles at her.
A cold shiver runs down Eiri's spine. Maybe she should've come over to chat with him earlier. She steps back. "Also, locking people up is illegal, Kuran-senpai," she tosses him a grin that looks more confident than she is feeling.
Kaname's smile doesn't falter. "Pity,"
Eiri snorts before turning around and walking back to the field where groups are already starting to gather for the cavalry race. It is probably in her best interest to stop purposefully annoying Kaname. After all, he is a vampire. Rather, he is the vampire. A smirk sneaks onto her lips. 'And isn't that exactly what makes it so much fun?'
Haa, she really loves being able to affect someone that powerful…

"Did you finish your business?" Takuma asks in a fairly polite tone, even though both of them are fully aware that he'd been watching the scene with Eiri unfold from the window of Kaname's study.
"I have," Kaname replies, glancing out of the window again, just in time to see Eiri straighten up with Miyako on her back, playing the horse together with a guy from their class for the cavalry race. She seems to declare something to Zero, who is playing horse to Yuuki together with their class rep. No doubt it's a war declaration of sorts- one that pumps up Yuuki who declares something back to Eiri, causing Zero to sigh.
A crack slowly forms in the window as Kaname watches Eiri wave over at another guy than the blonde from before. Perhaps he should make a war declaration of his own, some time soon...

A second 'chapter'~ Eiri just really loves to taunt Kaname. OTL
Also! For the people interested in seeing more Eiri, I have a decent amount of pictures of my Vampire Knight OCs on my deviantart (the link is also in my homepage)
