Takuma opened the door to Kaname's office. "Kaname, I have something urgent to report."
Kaname and Akari looked in his direction.
Takuma paused when his eyes fell on Akari. "I apologize if I interrupted anything."
Akari shook her head. "You're fine. I was on my way out anyway."
"What did you want to tell me?" Kaname asked.
"Someone drank the blood of a Day Class girl and she collapsed earlier." Takuma frowned. "The Day Class students believe it's anemia, but Yuki said there were puncture wounds on her neck."
"How is she?" Akari asked.
"She's currently in the infirmary." Takuma lowered his gaze. "She doesn't remember anything about the incident, so the vampire must have sealed her memories."
"Only Purebloods and Aristocrats can seal others' memories...the culprit is a Night Class student." Kaname frowned. "Takuma tell the others that classes are cancelled for the rest of the evening. Then, I want you and Akari to gather the others and look into this incident."
"Alright...what are you going to do, Kaname?" Takuma asked.
"I wasn't able to keep an eye on everyone, so I'm going to apologize to Headmaster Cross." Kaname stood up from his chair.
"Don't be too hard on yourself. The Senate summoned you yesterday, so you were fatigued." Takuma turned to Akari. "We should head out."
Akari nodded and followed Takuma out the door.
They walked in silence until Takuma spoke. "I was wondering where you were since you weren't in our first class...I was surprised to find you in Kaname's office."
"I had something to discuss with the Dorm President." Akari said.
Takuma looked at her. "You can also talk to me about any concerns you have if you don't feel comfortable talking to Kaname."
Akari smiled. "Are you worried about me?"
Takuma flicked her forehead. "You're my friend...of course I'm worried about you."
What would you and Senri think if you knew what I'm plotting? Akari lowered her gaze. "I'll keep that in mind. Now, let's hurry."
Several minutes later, they entered the infirmary along with other Night Class students.
The Day Class girl's eyes widened. "What are you all doing here?"
Takuma walked over to her with a bouquet of flowers. "We heard a fellow school-mate had fainted and wanted to see how she was doing. However, I was surprised to find you here...Miwa."
Miwa smiled. "You remembered my name."
"Of course I remember. I had the pleasure of dancing with you at the ball a few days ago." Takuma handed her the bouquet. "How are you feeling?"
Miwa blushed. "I feel better now, but thank you all for coming over to see me."
"Is it okay if I ask you a some questions?" Takuma asked.
Miwa nodded.
Takuma looked into her eyes. "What's the last thing you remember before you fainted?"
"I was waiting for my friend under a tree, so we could walk to our next class together. I suddenly began to feel dizzy...then I woke up here." Miwa explained.
Then, Zero opened the door.
"Zero, Yuki...did you come to see Miwa too?" Takuma smiled.
Zero and Yuki scanned the room.
