"Zero..."
Zero was on the verge of ascending the staircase to the rooftop when someone called out his name. Zero hadn't detected any presence in front of him, as this part of the building appeared to be devoid of anyone. Yet, someone had managed to sneak up behind him unnoticed. He wasn't just startled by how effortlessly someone had approached him, but he was also deeply unnerved by the commanding tone of the person's voice when they called his name.
Zero swiftly turned his head towards the intruder, his Bloody Rose at the ready, aimed directly at the person's head, even before he could see who it was.
Zero was taken aback when he finally laid eyes on the intruder, while the individual managed to finish their sentence.
"...Kiryuu, is it?" Kaname was not only startled by Zero's abrupt actions but also recognized the weapon aimed at his head - the Bloody Rose!
"What brings you here?" Zero maintained his gun pointed at Kaname.
What is a guest doing in the West Class?
Before Kaname could respond, a very irate Aidou arrived and nearly caught Zero off guard. However, Zero somehow managed to evade Aidou's punch.
"How dare you point that foolish gun at Kaname-sama! Do you comprehend how serious your actions are?" Aidou was about to throw another punch, but Kaname intervened.
"Aidou..." Kaname halted Aidou, and Aidou glanced at Kaname.
"But, Kaname-sama..." Aidou saw the expression on Kaname's face, which made him shift uncomfortably and step back to where the other West Class vampires were standing.
Everyone wore stern expressions directed at Zero.
"I apologize for startling you, Kiryuu. I had just begun calling the name of the prefect when I noticed that distinctive lock of hair. So, you are Zero Kiryuu?" Kaname gazed at him, specifically at his silver hair.
It left Kaname bewildered in a way he had never experienced before; he had never encountered or heard of anyone with silver strands of hair. Yet, it seemed oddly familiar.
Zero stared back at him with wide eyes. The stern glares from the West Class students unsettled him, as if he might actually pull the trigger of the Bloody Rose. The gun was meant for specific purposes and was never intended to harm humans. However, the man appeared to be taking on a leadership role within the group, evident by their defensive posture in case Zero made a wrong move. The gun still remained aimed at the man's head.
"Yes, I am. You should be in your classes or outside the academy if you have work. Why are you lingering here? Or do you desire detentions?" The West Class students didn't flinch, even though some of them feared Zero's detentions.
They only intensified their glares, seemingly awaiting a signal to take action.
"Stop, all of you!" Kaname commanded without shifting his gaze from them.
"Kiryuu, I am the new president of the West Class, appointed by Chairman Kaien Crosse himself. I am now a student here, along with Shiki and Rima. We just finished touring the academy, and we barely completed our inspection of the West Class. I had planned to convene a meeting with the West Class, although only a few of them remain. We were supposed to hold the meeting in the conference room before I encountered you."
"With Takuma Ichijo? He isn't part of the West Class." Zero glanced in Takuma's direction, but Takuma avoided eye contact.
"I require the presence of the Student Council President at the meeting so he can discuss the academy's rules and regulations with me," Kaname said as he maintained eye contact with Zero, whose lilac eyes met his russet ones.
