It was irking, being able to sense them. Sighing, I gazed into the night sky knowing very well that that those monsters as well as the two other guardians were most likely looking up at the same moon, into the same sky I was looking at, but they saw it differently.
For me it was sleeping time, or spell time.
For them, it was feeding time.

Zero
For some reason I actually do want to speak with Kai, I wanted to know where Yagari is but somehow I knew that Kai wouldn't want to even discuss the topic of her father with me. I'd be the last person she would want to talk to. I saw that spark in her grey eyes when she heard my name, automatic dislike. I couldn't blame her though if she believed I took her father away from her. Yagari did mention her though sometimes, a girl named Kai and how he cared for her, but never openly admitted he was her father, so yeah I was surprise to learn that.
"Zero!" Yuki yells from behind me, and I could hear her footsteps running towards me.
That isn't all I could hear, in fact I could hear Yuki's heart beat racing and the sound of blood rushing through her veins. I felt disgusted with myself at just the mere sound. I shouldn't be able to hear that, no one human could but that was the thing, I wasn't human. I was a vampire slowly turning level-e and the only people who knew that were Headmaster and that stupid bastard, Kaname Kuran.
"Zero! Come on, stop day dreaming! We have to go pick up Kai!" Yuki yelled, slapping a hand on my back.
I gave her a cold look. "Why didn't you just get her from the dorms?"
Yuki laughed nervously and scratched her head, "Well you see, she isn't staying in the Sun dorms, so I guess she stayed in the Headmaster's house."
Understandable if Kai was Yagari's daughter, Kaien would naturally keep an eye in her because she was his 'niece'. That crazy old man, always demanding to be called father and now uncle. Silently, I fallowed Yuki to the Headmaster's house, picking up on the two heartbeats that came from within the walls. One was frantic, and the other was calm. I could already decipher who they belonged too.
"Kai! Wake up or you'll be late!" Kaien yelled from the second story, loud enough that Yuki and I heard from the first level.
"Go away old man!"
Yuki laughed walking up the stairs, and I kept thinking, what if Kai found out what I was? How Yagari, my vampire hunter teacher, would react?
"Yuki!" Kaien cried out happily, running towards her with tears streaming down his face. "It's horrible! Kai won't get up and the door is locked! Plus she's rude in the morning!"
"I HEARD THAT YOU BI-POLAR OLD MAN!"
"See! She's a grumpy pants!" Kaien tattled like a child.
Yuki sweat dropped and nodded, "I'll try my best."
"Don't you have somewhere to be headmaster?" I ask, walking past both of them and to Kai's door, pounding on the wooden frame. "Kai, get up."
"Go away Kiryu." Kai snapped.
Her dislike didn't lessen overnight apparently, but still I pounded on the door frame, telling her silently that she had no choice. A frustrated groan came from inside the room and then the door swung open. Kai's hair was a mess, sticking up in different places, and she wasn't wearing pants. Just a long shirt that went to her thighs.
"Give me five minutes." Kai harshly said, slamming the door in my face.
I heard Kaien sigh and looked over at him. All his childish persona was gone and his face was serious, at least for the moment it was. He looked at the door with a sad expression and shook his head. Something was telling me he knew something that I didn't understand.
"Give her space Zero." Was all he said before he left me and Yuki standing in the hallway.
The door unlocked and opened, Kai slipping out and past me before she locked her door. "Okay now I am ready to go into hell!"
"Hell?" Yuki asked.
Kai nodded, "You call it a classroom."
Kai had combed her hair, and it traveled in the air as she walked ahead of me next to Yuki. She wore the school uniform, but one thing that caught my attention was the little bracelet around her wrist. It had a little cat charm, maybe she liked cats.
"So the Headmaster made you a perfect?" Yuki asked, catching my attention.
"I thought it was Guardian?" Kai replied.
"It is, just depends on which you call it." Yuki laughed.
Kai let out an annoyed sigh, "You all need to decide on a name, but yeah- Kaien made me one last night. Which is seriously going to cut into me sp- me time. My me time."
I raised an eyebrow, catching her slip up. She was hiding something, but Yuki didn't catch it. Of course she didn't, she was so oblivious to catch anything weird.
"Well, we all go on patrol." Yuki begins to explain as we walked up the steps to the classroom. "But it all starts with the class exchange."
Kai groaned, "Is that what all the "KYA KYA KYA" yelling is for?"
"Yes it is." Yuki nodded her head and Kai glanced over her shoulder at me.
"Kiryu, you're awfully quite." Kai says, a mischievous smile curving her lips. "As if you're planning on killing someone in that mind of yours."
Did Kaien tell her? No, I don't believe he'd tell her if he didn't tell Yuki. The girl is just messing with me as if I'm a game to her. Maybe I was for all I know, something to take anger out on.
"He's always like that." Yuki rambled on, pushing the doors of the class open. "We are here!"
The teacher looked over at us with an annoyed expression, slightly glaring at Yuki. I guess she interrupted a lesson, but that was her fault. Shoving my hands into my pockets, I silently made my way to my seat, watching Yuki stuttering apologies.
"There is no reason why you should be late to my class, Cross- Headmaster's daughter or not, you are my student! That goes for you too, Kiryu! Supplementary classes for you both! Go sit down Cross." The teacher rubbed his temples and Yuki scurried to her seat next to Yori.
"Sorry Sensei, I'm the reason their late." Kai said sweetly, gaining the teachers attention. " I had gotten lost with the big campus and it didn't help that I accidently over slept. If anyone should be punished, it's me."
The teacher shook his head, "Well don't let it happen again-"
'Kai. Kai Makoto." She smiled, and there were whispers among the students.
"Well class, we seem to have a new student. Ask away the questions you have." The teacher sighed.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"How are you a perfect already!?"
"You're cute!"
Kai smiled and shook her head, glancing over at the teacher. "Were can I sit Sensei?"
"Anywhere available." He grunted.
Kai glanced around, and hands shot up. One guy even went as far to shove the student next to him out of their seat, but then Kai's grey eyes landed on me, and she made her way over to the empty seat next to mine.
"She's sitting next to Kiryu!" A girl gasped.
I was slightly surprised myself, but then she rolled her eyes.
"I only chose this spot because you actually don't talk."

Kai
The moment I walked into the classroom, I had to be a kiss up, and let's say that backfired. All the girls were gossiping about me, and how I was out to take their precious "Idol', whoever that was. Apparently, they had to find a way to get rid of me, the threat. Fan girls are crazy, just let that settle into your mind. The guys on the other hand kept rating me, as if I wouldn't be able to hear them say, 'Man she's not a five she's a ten", or "She broke my scale."
These little comments pissed me off, and these comments are one reason I have a juvenile record for assault. Yes, I punched a guy who kept hitting on me, and then continued to beat him up until he couldn't stand because; well I didn't have a good reason. Most time, I had pint up rage and once I let it go, it was difficult to stop. Mom wasn't mad though, which was all I cared about. I sigh with the thought of my mom.
"You should pay attention." Zero mutters, taking notes.
My elbow was propped on the desk, my head leaning on my hand as I gazed at the board in complete and utter boredom. Who does Zero think I am? I kind of already knew this stuff; at my old school my teacher tutored me. It was math, geometry to be exact. Math was one of my best subjects, because when it came to education- I completely flunked. I was taught that learning spells and harvesting power was more important to was witches, because we never knew when we'd need a certain spell. Mom told me that with enough practice, I'd be able to use my magic with just a mere thought, but all magic came with a price.
"Mind your own business Kiryu." I say, and for some reason I refused to call him Zero. Call it childish, but I just didn't want to.
Soon enough class ended and on the way out I stopped at Yuki's desk as her friend Yori came out.
"Me and Zero will catch up with you after Kai. We have to stay a bit longer." Yuki smiled.
How did she always smile? I don't understand how Yuki could always be smiling, always be happy and in a way I envy her for it. I hate that I do, but I do. Simply nodding at her, I fallow the way out that every other student left and head back over to my dorm room in the Headmaster's house, lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize that I had bumped into someone coming out of the building I was about to enter.
"Sorry." I mutter, looking up to meet a pair of eyes that resembled Yuki's, but were a darker wine color. In fact, he had the same hair color that almost seemed to reach his shoulders. He also wore the exact opposite color uniform from mine, he wore white.
Vampire.
My heartbeat picked up speed, and when he went to go touch my shoulder he dropped his hand with a slight chuckle. I could see the curve of his fangs from the up lip and I suddenly felt very threatened. Natural instincts, I guess.
"You must be Kai, the Headmaster was just informing me on your arrival." He smiled kindly. "I see he made you a guardian as well. Is it because your father is a hunter, or that your mother is a very powerful witch?"
My eyes widen. Who the hell was this guy? How did he know about my secret, more importantly did that crazy Headmaster tell him? Anger flooded my body.
"How the hell do you know that?" I hissed.
"My name is Kaname Kuran."
Pure blood vampire.
"I'm sure you heard of me, little witch. Your mother and I use to be close friends before she meet your father."
"She never mentioned you." I say, in denial.
Kaname smiled sadly, "I'm not surprised. You don't seem like a threat to the vampires, but you are aware of the new law- aren't you?"
"New law?" I raised an eyebrow.
Kaname nodded, "Walk with me, and I'll explain."
I stood there for a second; staring at the spot Kaname Kuran had just been standing before I moved to fallow, curious to the new law. Curious on how my mother was supposedly 'close friends' with a Pure Blooded vampire. She always told me to stay away from the beasts in human forms, but yet this one claims to know her.
"Explain then." I deadpanned.
Kaname chuckled, "Impatient just like your mother I see. Well, this new law is a treaty between vampires and witches. Something new to bring peace between our two species. Witches have a chance to show to vampires that they mean no harm, they are the new protectors. If witches fail to protect a pureblood, or are the reason as to a vampire's death that is not level-e, they face execution. In return, the pure blood and vampires protect the witches from witch hunters."
I scoffed, "This is ridiculous! Witch hunters have been extinct for years! And this crap about protecting vampires? Bullshit."
Kaname suddenly stopped walking, turning to face me. Gently, he placed two fingers to grab my chin and to look up into his wine eyes, and I wanted to look away but I felt so conflicted.
"Why do you think you're here Kai? You're mother and I lost contact for a reason, and that reason was for you. She told you to come here didn't she?" Kaname questioned, and I merely nodded. "Now put the pieces together. She's running, she sent you here- not for the Headmaster but to me."
My eyes widen, and I shake my head- pulling my chin away from his grasp. "You're lying."
"I wish I was, truly. Witch hunters have been hunting your mother, a powerful witch and the most dangerous, for years."
It explained all the running, and I shook my head in denial.
"Kai." Kaname whispered, reaching a hand out but I slapped it away.
"Don't touch me you liar." I whispered, turning on my heel to walk back to my class- only to have my arm caught and pulling me back so I collided into a chest.
"Your mother sent you here because she entrusted me with your safety from the witch hunters." Kaname whispered into my ear. I didn't like him touching me, I didn't like him in general either. "Whither you like it or not, you'll have to step up and do your part."
"I protect the Night Class as a guardian, because the Headmaster asked me so. Do not think I'll actually protect you in general. Law or not, it doesn't abide to me." I hissed, shoving his arms off me and glaring up at him. "I think you should go get ready for class."
Kaname merely sighed. "You're vampire hunter blood runs deep in your veins that you deny everything." Turning he glances over his shoulder. "Be careful, Kai."
I watched as he walked away, and the second he was out of sight I felt myself running back to the Headmaster's office. If anyone knew the answers, it would be Kaien himself. A was running, just as I collided into another body, again- sending both of us crashing to the ground.
"Ah!" The girl yelped, and I quickly stood up- handing my hand to help her up. Then I noticed it was Yuki and that Zero was walking to us.
"I'm sorry Yuki!" I say quickly. "I wasn't looking were I was going!"
"It's fine- Kai are you okay?" Yuki asked worriedly that I look up.
"Yeah, um- I'm fine." I quickly says, a little to fast.
"You have tears." Zero grunted.
Yuki nodded, "What happened?"
I bit my bottom lip, do I tell them or not? It wasn't any of their business. I had my answer and swiftly shook my head side to side.
"Nothing is wrong, just ran into someone unpleasant." I smile weakly.
Yuki crossed her arms, looking very determined, "Then why were you running?"
"Had to ask the Headmaster a question."
"Who did you run into?" Zero asked.
I laughed humorously, "Is this an integration? I just said I'm fine."
Yuko sighed, giving me one last hard look before she let the subject drop. Quickly she grabbed my hand and began to run towards the Moon Dorms, the same direction Kaname Kuran had went. I wanted to stop her, to pull my hand away and scurry into a hiding place but I didn't. I also caught the strange look Zero was giving me, as if he was trying to read me. Well Kiryu, I'm not an open book. Sorry.
―――
Kai had to cover her ears once Yuki finally stopped running with her, only to race up to the front of the mob of girls and blew her whistle. It was a sharp shriek that caused all the girls, including Kai to flinch, but yet the girls continued. They were persistent, and Kai found it highly annoying and to be honest, she wanted to perform a paralyzing spell, but then she'd answer to Kaien and most likely that pureblood, Kuran.
"Please get in an ordered fashion line!" Yuki yelled frantically.
Zero glanced over at Kai from under the tree, noticing something was bothering her from earlier, and knew it was that Kuran that caused the girl distress. The scent of Kaname had lingered for a few minutes when she ran into Yuki, so whatever she was told spook the hunter's daughter, or made her upset. It angered him, and it confused him. Zero felt oddly protective of Yagari's daughter, and maybe that was why. Kai was his teacher's daughter, and Zero felt the need to make sure she stayed safe from the vampires.
Kai's eyebrow's twitched in irritation, and slowly she shoved girls out of the way to make her way to Yuki up in the front. Today was just not a good day for her to be having a headache, so that's why she took the pleasure of shoving girls down or tripping them until she was next to Yuki's side. From there, Kai snatched Yuki's whistle and blew the damn thing with all her might.
"CAN YOU ALL SHUT THE HELL UP? I DO NOT NEED TO BE HEARING 'KYA KYA KYA IDOL!' BULL SHIT RIGHT NOW. IF YOU CAN ALL GET INTO AN ORDERLY FASHIONED LINE, IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED." Kai shouted.
A Day Class girl decided to challenge the new girl, "And if we don't?"
Kai's eyes narrowed as she stepped towards the girl, "I have criminal records of break in, vandalism and fighting. You do not what to challenge me darling."
The girl gulped and nodded, stepping back and Yuki gave Kai a surprise expression. The girl next to her just claimed to be a criminal, but she didn't seem the type, but Yuki didn't know her well enough. Zero, on the other hand merely shook his head. Then the gates began to open and the girls were all in a line just as Hanabusa Aido came out pointing at some girls.
"Bang!"
The girl pretended to faint and Kai sweat dropped.
"Oh I want to be shot too!" Girls cried out as Aido pointed and multiple girls shouting, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"You have to be kidding." Kai muttered under her breath, then the blond haired vampire was pointing at her.
"Bang."
Kai gave him a blank look, as if saying you're-stupid-if-you-think-I'm-falling-down. The blond vampire perked up then, finding the ebony haired girl interesting as she did nothing and as he spotted the guardian badge around her arm.
"You must be new." He says, walking towards her, despite the protest of the other girls.
"What's it to you?" Kai asked in a bored tone.
Aido got close to her, leaning in, "Most girls happen to smile when they see me. Get excited even, but not you nor Yuki. Of course I understand Yuki, but you I don't."
Kai chuckled, "I'm not like most girls idol."
"It's Aido, Hanabusa Aido." He flashed her a smile.
"Well Aido, I believe you should get to class." Kai says, stepping away. Where the hell was Yuki? Oh, she was with Kaname, and Zero was gripping Kaname's wrist from touching the girl. Okay, Kai understood that she was completely and utterly alone as she was cornered by an egotist vampire and brooding fan girls. Everything was all good, not.
"I never got your name." Aido purred.
Kai made a face, "Kai." She refused to tell her last name incase he'd recognize it like Kaname had, but of course Aido wasn't saying he knew her mother.
"Lovely to make your acquaintance, Kai." Aido stepped away as he rejoined the group of Night Class students.
Kai noticed the stare down Zero and Kaname were having and Yuki saying words that were incoherent to Kai's ears, but she suddenly was bored and tired. Glancing as the root of a tree that Yuki was standing near, Kai concentrated and got it to slowly wrap her ankle- pulling Yuki down. Kaname's eyes immediately flew to meet Kai's grey. She felt herself smirk slightly as she walked over to the little dysfunctional group.
"Yuki, are you alright?" Kaname asked on concern, holding a hand out for her. Only for Zero to slap it away and helping Yuki up on his own. The root went back to normal.
"Y-yes." Yuki answered quickly with a blush.
"Kuran, I believe you have class." Kai sweetly said, cutting in.
Kaname nodded, turning to leave. He couldn't say anything to her at the moment about using magic, especially for her own use and on Yuki. Though, he'd speak to her about that later, but for now he complied and began to walk away before glancing back over to Zero.
"You're so scary, Mr. Disciplinary Committee."
Kai sweat dropped, "You guys really can't just pick one name to call yourselves can you?" Kai asked, holding up three fingers as she named them all. "Guardians, Perfects and Disciplinary Committee."
Yuki laughed, "Well, yeah.." She trailed off scratching her head.
"So about this patrolling thing?" Kai asked.
"You should be fine. After all, didn't you say you had a criminal record?" Yuki teased and Kai stiffened.
"Yeah, well- you know criminal means breaking the law. Not enforcing them right?" Kai asked and Yuki sweat dropped.
"Of course I know that!"
"Will both of you shut up?" Zero grumbled. "Kai, what weapon did the Headmaster give you?"
Kai furrowed her eye brows, "Weapon?"
"Yes weapon." Zero said it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "I have Bloody Rose and Yuki had Artemis. What do you have?"
Kai bit her lip, something she caught she did when she was nervous or unsure how to answer something, like right now. What was she supposed to tell them? She was a witch and was able to use her magic and didn't need a weapon or what?
"Don't have one." Kai decided to go with honestly, not the trust though. "Kaien said I should be okay with Yuki for now."
Zero gave her a look, eyes narrowing into a glare, which Kai happily gave right back. Lilac and grey challenging one other to back down, glaring in a silent disagreement until Yuki got in between the two hunter's, only to be ignored.
"That is immensely stupid form both you and the Headmaster. Coming were vampires are without being armed." Zero snapped.
Kai snarled, "Who are you? My father because you sound just like him Kiryu!"
"I thought you said your father left you!" Zero growled, getting frustrated with the girl in front of him.
"Zero!" Yuki yelled. "That was uncalled for!"
Kai turned her head away, "No Yuki, it's fine."
"Kai- I didn't mean-"
"No you did." Kai cut Zero off. "Yuki, ready to go?"
Yuki sighed, glancing at Zero for a second, "Yeah Kai."
Kai was already walking away though, and Yuki sighed before fallowing the fuming hunter's daughter. Zero sighed, running a hand through his silver hair, wondering why he said that. It only pushed Kai away more, but something was off, the way she hesitated to answer and got defensive.
Yuki ran to catch up with the ebony haired girl, who was now leaning against the railing on the rooftop. How she got up there so quickly was a mystery to Yuki, but all that mattered now was talking to her. Yuki leaned on the rail next to Kai.
"Want to talk about it?" Yuki asked.
"No." Kai muttered.
"Yes, you do." Yuki argued. "Tell me why you got so worked up."
Kai hesitated, wanting to talk about Kaname, about her mother and the witches but she bit her tongue. Yuki should be the last person to find out. No, Kai wouldn't tell Yuki, she would be to curious afterwards like normal humans were. That's what made magic dangerous to humans, they wanted to know more and pushed to know more until they used it unwisely.
"Tell me about your father." Yuki suggested. "How come you get sour with him mentioned or with Zero?"
"It has nothing to do with Kiryu-"
Yuki cut her off, "You never call him Zero, why's that?"
Kai shrugged, "Don't know, but my father left when I was ten. He went to train Zero Kiryu and I never saw him after that. Not for seven years. My mother though, moved around a lot, which caused me to move schools, but she wanted me to be in a stable environment for my last year of high school, sending me here to finish up. Knowing I'd be safe. "
Kai lied straight through her teeth but Yuki seemed to buy into it and nodded, understandingly. It was too easy to make Yuki believe anything, she was too naïve. Yuki though dropped the conversation when she spotted two Day Class girls.
"Hey! You two!" Yuki yelled, jumping over the ledge and grabbing onto the tree branch. "I'm going to need your name and class number! I think you know very well that school rules strictly forbid you from wondering around at night. It's dangerous! Go back to your dorm."
Kai watched, amused as Yuki dropped down and yelled at the two stupid Day Class girls who just apparently want to get a picture of the Night Class. It was stupid to Kai that these girls were fawning over the Night Class like love sick puppies.
"We're only here to take pictures of the night class students!" Day class girl number one said.
"What's the big deal. It's harm less. Ah." Girl number two gasped.
"Are you okay? Can you walk?"
"Did you get hurt?" Yuki asked worriedly. "Oh no you're bleeding. Hurry up and get back to your dorms!"
Kai watched as Yuki suddenly grabbed Artemis from its holster under her skirt and as it turned into a long rod.
"Who's there?" Yuki asked, swinging the rod and a hand caught it.
"So scary, the Headmaster has trained you well." Kain praises.
"It's Akatsuki Kain and Hanabusa Aido!"
"No need for all this fuss, we just came out here because we smelled blood. You're so mean Yuki." Aido closed his eyes and then opened them, the red bloodlust coming into his blue. "Oh it smells so good."
"Listen here Aido, if you lay so much as a finger on one of these girls I will-oh." Yuki tailed off when Aido grabbed her hand.
"Did you fall?" Aido questioned, lifting her hand up. "What smells good Yuki, is the smell of your blood."
"Aido." Yuki breathed as he brought his fangs out.
"Really it's so tempting." Aido huskily whispers.
Disgust filled Kai as she used her magic to root around Aido ankle and yanking him way from Yuki, coping her moves and dropping down from the tree. Frowning down at the blond vampire, the ebony haired girl glanced over at the other perfect.
"You okay?" Kai asked.
"Yeah." Yuki nodded, glancing at the day class girls who fainted.
"How rude." Aido growled, standing up, gentle grabbing Kai's wrist in a tight grip. "I guess I'll take some of your blood instead." He leaned down and sniffed Kai's wrist, along her veins. "Your scent is, intoxicating."
Kai growled under her breath as she felt his fangs sink into her wrist, despite the fact of Yuki's shouting. Trying to pull away, Aido wrapped an arm around her waist and pulling her closer, biting slightly harder to drawl more blood out, which tasted different than a normal human's.
"Aido, let go!" Kai shouted.
"May I partake from your neck?" Aido questioned, lifting his head.
"No! Are you crazy?" Kai hissed. "Now let go of me!"
"Hanabusa." Kain began, only to be cut off with Zero pulling Bloody Rose out and pushing Kai away from Aido.
"Drinking blood on schools ground is strictly forbidden." Zero coldly said, aiming the gun at Aido. "Has the scent of blood made you lose control, vampire?"
"Zero, hold on." Yuki said.
"But I've already tasted both of them." Aido licked his lips, just as Zero pulled the trigger, at the same time as Kai moved to throw his shooting arm upward so Zero missed Aido. She didn't know why she did it, but she just did.
Because you're supposed to protect vampires. The voice echoed in Kai's head, damn pureblood.
"You can't shoot him idiot!" Yuki yelled as Zero locked gazed with Kai.
"That Bloody Rose, will you please put that away?" Kaname said appearing from the school. "That weapon is rather threating to us."
"Kaname- i- I." Yuki stutters, causing Kai to roll her eyes and break her gaze from Zero and move aside.
"I'll escort these fools to the Headmaster myself to receive their punishment." Kaname looks at Zero.
Aido whimpered, "Dorm president Kuran."
"Zero is that alright?" Kaname asks.
"Zero?" Yuki glances at the silver haired vampire.
Zero put Bloody Rose away. "Just get them out of here Kaname "
"Akatsuki, because you did nothing to stop Aido, you are guilty too. Now then, for the two that have fainted. I'll have their memories erased and take them to the Headmaster's as well. Is that okay?" Kaname asks.
Yuki nodded, "Yes thank you."
Kaname eyes softened looking at Yuki, "I am sorry Aido scared you, that was wrong of him Yuki."
"No, it's okay." Yuki reassured.
Kaname glanced at Kai. "Kai, I hope you aren't scared."
Kai rolled her eyes, "The only one I should be afraid of, is you Kuran."
Everyone looked surprised at the girl, besides Kaname. No one would think she'd say that to the pureblood, but it got Zero wondering. Was it Kuran who spook Kai earlier that day?
"Why you little-"
Kai cut Aido off, "You are in no position to speak troublemaker."
"I have given you no reason to fear me." Kaname disagreed.
Kai raised an eyebrow, "Haven't you?" She challenged, just as Zero grabbed her wrist and Yuki's.
"Let's go." Zero sharply said.
"Hold on Zero, what are you doing?" Yuki asked as he dragged her and Kai behind him.
Kai glared at the back of his head.
"Zero, you were so rude to Kaname!" Yuki yelled.
Zero kept walking, "This place reeks of blood. It's making me sick."
Kai's eyes widen. He can smell the blood. Then the hunter stooped walking and pulled the toe from his neck, grabbing Kai's wrist. She caught the lingering stare before he tied the wound. He continued talking to Yuki.
"The smell is disgusting and they like it. Further proof they are beasts."
Kai dropped hher voice to a whisper. "Then how can you smell it, when we cannot?"
The question caught Zero off guard as he finally looked at her. She was putting the pieces together in his head, but he instead decided to challenge the girl.
"How did you know Kaname?" Zero asked harshly.
Kai only smirked, "It's getting late. I need to sleep if I want to get to class on time. Goodnight Yuki, Kiryu."
"Kai." Yuki called, earning her attention. "Answer Zero's question."
Kai nodded, "I merely bumped into him while going into the Headmaster's building."
With that, she walked off into the night, leaving the two other perfects there.
"Still doesn't explain why she came running from the other direction." Zero thought out loud, walking away and leaving Yuki to her own thoughts.
What is she hiding?
