A/N Hi there, Happy New Year! (Depending on which country you're in but in Australia it's already 2019) Anyway, Author-san is alive! Yay~ I tried to make this chapter a little longer than usual so I hope you enjoy it and I wish each and every one of you a great year ahead.

Mirei's POV

I let out a short yawn before sitting up in bed. I lifted the blanket before glancing around the room groggily. "Wait..." I found myself sitting on an unfamiliar bed which was encompassed by large purple curtains. "Oh right," it finally occurred to me that this was not in fact my room but Kaname's. I stood from the bed and walked further into the room, pushing through a large curtain which hung around the bed. The previous night, I had not even noticed the bed in the corner of the room.

Kaname had fallen asleep on the couch, an arm and leg dangled freely off the sofa. A book was resting in his other hand which he held to his chest. I approached him silently, his usually serious featured seemed so peaceful whilst he was sleeping. I just want to reach out my hand and touch his cheek, it looked so soft. I quickly shook my head, 'what am I thinking?'

I walked over to the window, drawing back the curtain slightly. It looked to be around midday which meant half of my classes were already over. I glanced back at Kaname, the previous nights events were still fresh in my mind. I lifted my hand to my neck, Kaname's bite marks had already faded. "Why does he always see me when I'm at my weakest possible state?" I whined.

"You're not weak," Kaname responded whilst propping himself up.

My face heated up out of embarrassment, "you weren't meant to hear that..." I mumbled. He chuckled tiredly, "what are you doing awake anyway? It's the middle of the day, go back to sleep!"

"I would, if someone would stop yelling," he grumbled.

"I'm not yelling!" I denied, "a-alright I might have raised my voice.... slightly." Kaname chuckled lightly and I felt my face heat up again. "Anyway, I have already missed half of my classes so I should really be going," I informed him before teleporting to my room to get changed.

Now wearing new clothes, I strolled through the hallways to my class. "Suzuki-san!" a voice called from behind me. I sighed, turning around to see Headmaster Kaien. "Suzuki-san!" he said, between pants, "what are you doing out of class?" he asked as he finally reached me.

I shrugged nonchalantly, "Taking a midday stroll," informed him.

"Right... well either way I'm glad I found you," he gathered himself. "As you are aware, you are to be under the supervision of Takegawa-sensei however, her presence is required at a soiree tonight and it appears that you will have to accompany her."

"Huh?" I questioned, a little baffled, "would it not be easier if I did not attend?"

"Usually, but tonight the Night Class will also be attending the event so there is no need for the Disciplinary Committee to continue their duties."

"Do I get a say in this?" I asked. I really hated attending such gatherings, I had been forced to go to a few balls in the past and I do not recall enjoying a single one of them.

"Nope~" The Headmaster returned to his happy-go-lucky demeanour. "Maybe you should have thought about that before you picked a fight with your fellow peers," he shrugged. "Anyway, Takegawa-sensei will meet you at the front gate in three hours so make sure to be ready~" he sang before skipping off down the hallway.

"Great..." I muttered sarcastically. "One thing is for sure, I am not going to wear a dress." I retreated back to my room to relax for the next few hours.
