The water dropped onto the wooden table and turned to ice. It had been two day since the rather large amount of blood smell swirled around the night dorm. Kaname had told them it was nothing and to go back to their study's, but Aido was reluctant to let it go as the others had. "The smell of blood two night ago...we weren't given a explanation for it.." Aido said out loud. His hand holding up his head and the other a wine glass. Kain walked by and yawned, a towel hanging around his neck. "I'm not bothered about that." Kain said and continued onto their dorm. Aido spilled more water and watched as it froze.

"It was the smell of Yuki's blood."

-with Yuki and Zero and Viola-

Viola followed Yuki and Zero quietly down the hallway. Yuki still was acting rather distant and Zero hadn't been to school in two days. Since Yuki would just avoid answering Viola. She would have to just find out by herself. Ui skid to a halt as they stopped at the headmasters door and walked inside. "Headmaster, we'd like to talk to you." Yuki said and started to close the door behind her and Zero. Before the door could shut completely, Viola slipped over and stopped the door a crack. "Good morning! You came at a perfect time. Look at this!" The headmaster whipped out a newly pressed night class uniform. Viola squinted her eyes in confusion. 'A new student perhaps?'

"A night class uniform for Kiryu!-" Zero slapped the uniform out of the headmasters hands. Viola strained to hear what they were saying. Zero turned to leave and Viola freaked out and fell back on her butt. Viola put a hand over her mouth and scuttled towards the door again.

"You seem to be feeling better." the headmaster smiled out gently. Zero turned and looked at the headmaster. Viola's eyes lit up. Finally she was hearing what was happening. She wouldn't be in the dark anymore!

Viola heard a group of dayclass girls coming down the hallway and quickly stood up. The girls greeted her and started chatting for a few minutes before they walked away again. Viola turned back towards the door had closed more and Viola could only hear them now. "...yes, things would have been better if it had worked..." The headmaster said. "But...now that your vampire instincts have completely awakened there's no turning back..." Viola felt her eyes widen more and her heartbeat quicken and nearly pound out of her chest. 'Since when has Zero been a vampire? It can't be true!'

"For your protection, and to keep things going as usual in this school, both the day class and the night class mustn't know that you are a vampire, understood?" Ui went numb. Her ears buzzing and ringing. 'Why wasn't I told of this!'

"These are the terms for keeping you in the day class." Viola was numb to her surroundings and didn't take notice as another group of dayclass students walked by till she was pushed into the door. She stumbled onto her knees and landed with a thump behind Yuki and Zero. Zero's head whipped around and his eyes widened. 'Since when had Viola been there! Please tell me she didn't here that I'm a...dammit..'. Viola stayed on the floor, her head hanging.

"Why Zero...why don't you trust me!" Viola stood up and wobbled a bit before sprinting out of the room, completely ignoring her protesting heart. The headmasters office went silent as Yuki chased after Viola.

"Oh dear..."

-with Yuki-

Yuki ran around the campus looking before stopping in front of the night class building. It's stone wall blocking her view of the other side. "She might have slipped in there.."Yuki said to herself. She straightened her skirt and fixed her hair before walking calmly over to the archway. Yuki poked her head inside and saw a figure in a black clock scribbling on a parchment with a feather pen. "um..members of the disciplinary committee can pass through here right?" Yuki asked hesitantly. The watch man stopped writing. "You're not the first first one to come through the back hate so early in the morning." He paused as if thinking "alright go in." Yuki nearly yelped when he lifted his head to look at her. "The dormitory is that way."

-with Aido-

"This is something that we can ask only of you, the "miracle genius"!" A scientist begged Aido desperately. The scientist next to him nodded his head in agreement. "Please help us with our research institute! You wrote that research paper..".

Aido slouched lower in his overly plush chair. " Huh?" Aido sighed absently "but I don't have any interest in day work. I'm tired so will you leave now?" Aido gestured towards to door. It creaked open and Yuki stepped into the night dorm. Aido perked up. "Yuki!".

-Yuki's point of view-

Yuki felt her eye twitch annoyed. 'This is the first time I've come to the moon dorm. It's more like a aristocrats mansion than a dorm!"

"Hey! Time for you guys to leave!" Aido pushed the scientists out the door and closed in behind him with a glare.

"Ugh..It's bright. I'm sleepy. I'm grumpy. It's all their fault." Aido complained and rubbed his eyes. "Uhh...I'm sorry for coming over..." Yuki turned to leave. "If it's you, it's okay. Why'd you come? everyone is asleep." Aido yawned. He slung his arm around Yuki's shoulder and pulled her closer.

"Maybe you came here to have your blood drunk by me.." Aido chirped happily. Yuki sweat and pulled away. " No I came to see LooK for Viola, maybe Kaname know though.." Yuki explained. Aido pushed away from her and walked up the stairs.

"Oh.. This was, then." Aido said walking up the stairs. He stopped and turned around. "You're the only one that president Kuran is nice to so everyone simply follows his lead." Yuki felt herself hanging onto every word Aido said.

"Yuki...who made those wounds in your neck?" Yuki slapped a hand over where her bandage should have been, but only felt the two dents in her skin.

'When did he take the bandage off my neck!!'

-with Viola -

Viola had ran all the way to the Night class building before stopping in the forest behind a unused night class building. Her breaths were heavy and her chest raising and lowering fast.

"God dammit Zero.." Viola slumped down the trunk of a tree. Her head between her knees.

"I feel so confused...Zero tells me everything. So why not this!" Viola felt hot drops of years hot her knees. A shuffle in the bushes in front of her made her stand up and whip our her knife. The headmaster had given each of the disciplinary committee members a weapon on the day they started. Viola's wasn't as special as Yuki's rod or zeros gun. It could hurt humans and vampires, so the headmaster depended more on her when when it comes to watching who comes and goes from the school. Viola wiped her years away with the back of her hand, the knife gleaming closely to her eye. Then raised her knife higher in air. A aristocratic vampire stumbled out and ran behind Viola. Viola turned around and brought the knife down in the vampires throat. A girl with waist length midnight black hair, pale white skin, and ice blue eyes stood behind her. " Holy crow! Dude! Don't stab me!"she squeaked and looked behind Viola in fright. "What are you doing out in the day! Night class students are only aloud out when they are leaving for class!" Viola hissed Viola lowered her knife. "Dude, if I were you I would keep that knife raised and ready to kil-" the girl was interrupted when a long, curly, red haired girl burst threw the bushes. Her emerald green eyes glinted as she saw the vampire girl and sprinted towards her.

"Cortland! I know you ate my last pudding cup!" The red head screeched. Viola gave a look of confusion. Cortland squealed, grabbed Viola's hand and tore out of the forest and into the dirt path. "I'm sorryyy Sarah!" Cortland cried out. Cortland was to busy focusing in running away that she didn't she Zero's back and ran straight into him. Viola toppled over Cortland and onto Yuki. Cortland held her butt in pain but froze as hard, cold, metal pressed against her forehead. Sarah sprung out of the forest and Zero quickly moved out of the way. Sarah tackled Cortland to the ground and Zero lowered his gun in confusion. "Why the..." Zero said confused.

"Ass! That was the last pudding cup!" Sarah wrestles Cortland. Yuki frantically tried to stop them from fighting as they tumbled around. Zero put his gun in his jacket but kept the safety off, and held out a hand to Viola. She had sat up on her heels and was watching as Yuki tried to stop the two girls.

"Viola..-" Viola twitched when Zero called for her and scooted away. 'So she did hear us then.' Zero sat in the dirt next to Viola.

-a couple of hair pulling minutes later-

The headmaster frantically ran to the two girls.

"No fighting!" The headmaster stumbled on the end of his long fur coat before separating the two.

"Please. Everyone follow me back to my office."
