A group of four red-eyed vampires approached Aido.
Aido stepped back and raised his hand.
Suddenly, the black-haired vampire in the group slashed the two men next to him.
The men groaned and fell to their knees.
"What are you doing, Kaede?" A woman with red eyes shouted at her comrade.
The black-haired vampire leapt back. "Now, Aido!"
Aido summoned his ice and flung it in the direction of the three vampires.
The vampires yelped as they were impaled with spears of ice. In seconds, their bodies disintegrated into sand.
"Gah, I have their blood all over my nails!" The black-haired vampire shook his hands.
"Your transformations look just like the real thing...I almost used my ability on you." Aido watched as the black-haired vampire shifted back into Aoi.
"I thought you'd figure out it was me when I attacked the other vampires." Aoi pouted.
"O-of course...I recognized you after a while." Aido stammered.
"I'm glad you did." Aoi smiled. "If you had killed me...I would have come back to haunt you."
Aido shuddered. "Anyway, let's search for the others."
Aido and Aoi ran until they reached Akatsuki and Ruka.
Aoi rushed forward when she saw a woman with red eyes approach Ruka from behind.
Aoi kicked the vampire and sent it flying into a nearby building.
Akatsuki looked at the hole in the building. "She rebounded pretty far."
"You overdid it, Aoi." Ruka said.
"You're welcome, Ruka." Aoi smiled.
Akatsuki looked at Ruka. "Earlier, didn't you kick one of them too?"
"Oh, did I do something so unbecoming?" Ruka looked over her shoulder. "Nevermind that...I see more have come with salutations."
Five vampires leapt down from the roof of the building.
"You've been poisoned by this academy's propaganda." One of the vampires said. "We shall re-educate you in place of Lord Rido."
"This academy would be a wonderful feeding ground for our side." Another added.
"You vile..." Ruka glared at the group. "I don't think that the annoying human girls who gaze adoringly at Lord Kaname deserve to be attacked. I won't let any of you touch the Day Class."
"I feel the same way. I used to think it was impossible to coexist with humans, but I've gotten used to this peaceful life." Aoi remarked.
"Stay back." Akatsuki stood in front of Ruka and Aoi and created a wall of flames as the vampires leapt towards them.

Akari approached the vampire caught in her vines.
The vampire thrashed but the vines continue to constrict around it until there was a sickening crack.
Akari loosened the vines enough to grab the vampire's arm. She paused when she looked at his hand. This mark...it looks exactly like the one on Zero's neck.
A few seconds later, Akari dug her fangs into the vampires arm.
"Y-you should be feeding off the humans in this school." The vampire muttered. "...not me."
