[Kinami Ooshiro]

Patience. It was a simple thing that she had developed over years. Waiting, listening, waiting some more. It required the muscles to be absolutely keen, like a cat stalking prey, and every sense needed to be focused. Even so, patience had no bearing here. She tried to wait, to be patient, to let the two do as they would. But, it just didn't work out. Her mind was processing things that it probably shouldn't have, coming to conclusions that might have been inaccurate. She kept hearing things about "blood", and her mind immediately raced off down a thousand different paths. Had someone been hurt? Well, Sage did, but she didn't think that was what they were talking about. And the two were whispering, as if Kinami shouldn't hear what they were talking about. Were they talking about her? It seemed likely, but the two didn't seem like the types to do such a thing.

But, suddenly, they both turned to her, introducing themselves. Her mind went blank. This wasn't... Normal, really. Niether of their behaviors were, and it was unsettling. Even so, they were kind enough to introduce themselves. "I-I already know wh-who you are. N-Not that I look in-into that sor-rt of thing!" She had gotten herself into far more trouble than she needed to, and she didn't even know the true danger that she was already in. Her face was red as could be, as she looked down at the ground, blood coming even closer to the surface of her skin, a sudden strike of embarrassment about her. "... Ooshiro. Ooshiro Kinami." Her hands were both occupied; one hand still holding her books, the other wrinkling the edge of her skirt.

[Toushiro Fujiwara]

Nodding to himself, Toushiro had finally come to a conclusion that Kisa was one hell of a creepy vampire. One moment, she had this particular innocent smile pasted straight across her face along with the cheery personality of hers. Then, it was back to the old emotional Kisa Sage who will not hesitate to tear you in to pieces if you happened to be standing in her way. That was the version of the girl that Toushiro happened to witness that night before. Now, she was now acting all cheerful all over again. He let out a heavy sigh before scratching his temple. What is wrong with her?

The way she just threatened to turn my remaining days here into a living hell… It sent chills up his spine. Heh… it’s not like I would gain anything by spreading it all over the Moon Dorm… His immediately thought about the large wooden chest under his bed that contained his utmost prized possession. Manga. Oh, what will he do if anything were to happen to them? He wouldn’t like to know.

“If that’s what you want, but on one condition…” His eyes narrowed and he folded his arms, if that possible for the vampire. “If Kaname-sama or Ichijou-sempai questions my disappearance from the Moon Dorm, tell them that I… eto~…” Coming up with a good excuse was never an easy thing for Toushiro, which explains all the trouble that he is always in. “My old injury was bothering me and I went to the infirmary….?” Those words that came out from his mouth sounded more like a question. Feeling the frustration that was building up in him, he rubbed his temple unconsciously. “Ah! I am so dead…”

It was the small voice that came from the Day Class student that reminded him of her presence. “Kinami-chan ka?” he repeated her name just to ensure that he had gotten it correctly. The sound of the distant rumbling from the direction of the Moon Dorm indicated that it was time…

[Takuma Ichijo]

Takuma had woken up around the same time as usual. He had needed his sleep, he finally felt once again refreshed and full of energy. But when he walked around in the room he couldn't find his roommate anywhere... it wasn't really unusual to already go down and to wait in the sofa's or something untill it was time to leave. But still he asked himself some questions.

When he walked the stairs down and looked around between all other night class students he missed two students... Kisa sage and toushiro fujiwara.
Now he really started to get worried , where were those two. He always had to check before leaving if every student was here or no one was still in his room.
So he checked all the rooms but still the two of them were no where to be seen.
So he sighed and just gave the sign that they where ready to leave. THe door only just had opend or he already could hear the fans. This always was so much commotion for nothing really, but he tried to forget about his discovery of two students missing and tried his best to smile to all the fans.

But then something hit him,.. apparently the rest of the nightclass had smelled it to, this was bad. Takuma already knew who's blood it was that the nightclass students had smelled. He had told Kaname-sempai to go as quickly as they could to class and that he had to take control over all of them. Right after that Takuma went on investigation from where the blood smell had come from.
It wasn't hard to find that out. His fans where rather curious to where he suddenly ran af but one stern look of him made them stay on their place instead of following him.

After several minutes he had found kisa, and she was with toushiro and one of the day class students. For some reason this situation didn't look good at all. As calm as he could be he approached the three.
" Sage and Fujiwara san!!! I for one can't believe that two of our students would run off like this, not respecting the rules. You know that there is going to be a lot of explaining for the two of you" he said rather on a serious tone to kisa and fujiwara. He then tried to be as friendly to the other girl as possible
" i hope that they didn't do anything wrong to you. miss Ooshiro." he hoped that he had guessed right on her name. THen he looked back to the two that had some explaining to do.

[Kisa Sage]

Kisa giggled softly, as she shrugged at what Toushiro told her "We can't have injuries, you idiot" she said, moving her hand to smack him over the back of her head. She closes her eyes, and then crossed her arms, yet a smirk was on her lips. Really, an injury to a vampire? What idiot wouldn't know that they would heal quickly, but she slowly opened her eyes. Nodding her head, Kisa laughed. "Yea, you are so dead as that won't work" she said happily before looking at the human, and she smiled sweetly at her.

"I am sorry, Kiniami-san. I have a funny thing with people I don't know" she said, before Kisa and she saw her face go red, and Kisa placed a few fingers on her own lips. She turned her head away, before smiling again as her fingers moved to under Kinami's chin, and she moved her other hand on her cheek. As she stepped closer, Kisa still smiled in a friendly matter, before giving a sniff. "You're a very cute girl." she said, leaning closer to her before she stopped as she heard a voice, as she was to busy to hear the footsteps and Kisa sighed softly.

Moving her hands from the girl's face, Kisa turned around and saw Takuma, before putting her hands as she moved closer to him. "What? I was running after him, then got stuck in some... fun" she said before she grinned at Takuma and she pouted, but Kisa then stopped. She looked at Toushiro, before quickly turning her head to stare at Takuma, before both her hands dropped on the bottom of his school jacket. "How can you think I would do anything wrong!" Kisa said, giving a sad look.

[Kinami Ooshiro]

Kinami melted under Sage's gentle touch, lower lip quivering ever so slightly. It suddenly became hard to swallow, but the fragile girl pushed that fact aside, trying not to slip into too much bliss.

"You're a very cute girl."

The statement made Kinami actually look up to Sage's eyes, about to say something, but in doing so, saw Takuma Ichijo, the Moon Dorm's Vice President. Not really knowing of their rules, she didn't exactly understand why it was a problem that the two Night students were out early. Still, this wasn't a good situation, and she didn't want to see either one get into trouble.

She had gotten into near trouble before, having spied on the Night Class on several occassions thanks to peer pressure from her own classmates. She had to think fast, really, if she was going to think of something logical. "I-I'm sorry!" The Day student bowed a few times, repeating her apology, before looking up with crocodile tears in her eyes. "This... This is my fault. I-I.... I was going to spy on your classes tonight, and Fujiwara-kun caught me an-and came outside to tell me not to do so." She paused, letting a few tears fall, giving her more time to think of an excuse for Sage. "An-And Sage-san came to tell him not to leave the dorms earlier than he was supposed to. I-I'm really sorry..." She gave another bow.

Most people would be rather surprised that Kinami would be able to fake cry her way out of a punishment, but it wasn't unusual; she had done this sort of thing nearly every time she got caught spying on the Night Class. Even at this point, she wasn't entirely sure if Takuma Ichijou would entirely buy her false excuse. But, it was worth a shot, right? Right?

[Toushiro Fujiwara]

“Ah!” Toushiro involuntarily let out another hiss before turning to face the older Night Class student with an agitated look on his face. “That hurts…” he growled at her as he rubbed the sore spot on his head for the second time. Vampires cannot get injured… how he wished that that statement was true. If it was, how would one explain what happened back then? Even with their unnatural ability to heal, vampires weren’t invincible. There is a reason why they loath or more precisely, fear vampire hunters. Their choice of weapons explains their real intentions and also their views on the vampire population. A vampire hunter’s weapons poise a real threat to them. Kiryuu-kun has one… the Bloody Rose, which explains the caution when we are around him.

It didn’t bother him much when that statement came from Kisa but… Ichijo-sempai, he would know. Or at least, he should be one who understands. Watching his senior’s movements towards the Day Class student sent shivers down his spine. If Ooshiro happened to be a male student, those actions would be acceptable in Toushiro’s terms but technically, she is not. Then again, Kisa-sempai is always like that… unpredictable.

“Kisa and Fujiwara-san!” That was the last voice that he wanted to hear at this point of time and it certainly made the muscles in the younger vampire’s body tense up involuntarily. Forcing himself to slowly move aside to face the older boy, he felt sweat forming on his forehead. Guilt? “I-Ichijo-sempai,” his voice was shaky. True enough, there was no way that his disappearance would go unnoticed. For a split second, his mind had completely gone blank and the possible reasons that he had thought up earlier had vanished. What a convenient time indeed… “T-that’s not true! We were just… talking,” he tried to explain but as before, it didn’t sound convincing enough. The Vice President’s seriousness was reflected in his eyes when those orbs’ attention returned to the both of them, causing Toushiro to flinch. Kisa’s explanation wasn’t much of a help to the boy either as she indirectly pointed the cause of her leaving the dorm grounds was solely due to his own actions. “Kisa-sempai…!” This time, his voice was slightly louder but of surprise.

Before he could really explain the real situation, he was immediately interrupted by Kinami. Her version of the situation practically placed all the blame on herself. To save us from getting into trouble? But why? They just met not too long ago and all they managed to do was giving her discomfort… I will not say no to someone who is willing to throw themselves before me and take in all the blame…

Ichijo’s eyes were still fixed upon him and it only made Toushiro shift his gaze to a spot on the grass. “That’s… not true,” his muttered. He could feel the heat rising from his insides and up to his face but he continued anyway, “Kinami-chan wasn’t involved in this… neither was Kisa-sempai.” What followed after that statement was almost in a barely audible tone with “getting sick of the squealing”, “get out earlier” and “wasn’t thinking” along the lines. Why had he admitted so willingly? He didn’t know… He was sure that his face had gone scarlet with embarrassment but he waited anyway for the dreaded reply that was about to come from the other boy.

[Takuma Ichijo]

Takuma had heard the three explaining each their own version of the story.
As far as he could see the day class girl that first wanted to take the blame on herself hadn't had anything to do with it. What was he supposed to do now, he couldn't leave the two night class students unpunished he probably would discus this with Kaname-sempai later on. That was if kaname had time otherwise he would be the one to find a suited punishment for the two. Still he couldn't believe his eyes how kisa was acting today.

Takuma looked from kisa to Kinami and then once again to toushiro.
" okay all of you stop with trying to take the blame on you.. first of all kisa-san i'm not used of you doing things like this and acting like this... secondly Fujiwara and kisa you two will get a punishment for your actions.. doesn't matter who's at fault here. All that matters is, is that you two didn't respected the rules.!
But we will discus this later once back in the dorms. And to you miss Ooshiro don't try to take the blame on yourself, you seem to be a good girl to me." after this he looked at kisa he really had found it strange how she was reacting around this girl, why was kisa playing with her. at least to him it had looked like playing. What did she found so fun at it.

[Kisa Sage]

She rasied an eyebrow, as Kisa turned her ehad just sat stare at the day class girl, before giving a snort and small giggle but then stopped. Kisa did become tense, yet she relaxed as she knew it was a lie and she crossed her arms. She shook her head, as the girl started to cry, yet she could tell it was fake, but she wasn't going to tell a word of it.

Covering.... up... for... her? Now how the hell would want to do that!

Kisa glared at the two younger students. "You know, I am rather childish at times, but I don't need to be protected by stupid little human girl, then by a damn Night Class student!" Kisa snapped. Truth was, she only willing let few people protect her, yet now she was on a thin line of breaking. Placing her hand, on her face she turned her head away, yet her other hand was still on the bottom of Takuma's jacket, before she placed her hand to her side, and stared t the one holding onto Takuma.

"Huh?!?" Kisa half shouted as she stared at Takuma, before she let go of him. She looked down, before closing her eyes and let out a sigh. Moving both her hands, Kisa pushed Takuma away from her, before taking a few steps backwards from the group. "Who the hell said i respected anything! I respected you, because I thought you out of everybody, would understand me the most, and the fact where were friends when little. I respect Kaname-sama, because he looks after me dark past." she said, but coldly as she put her right hand up, and started to walk away slowly.

She closed her eyes and let out a sigh as she stopped in her footsteps, turning her ehad to look at the three. "Don't bother giving Fujiwara-san a punishmeant, just me. Like I have been getting them my whole life." she said as she started to leave again, but she then turned, only to hid behind a tree. Maybe tonight... she was going to skip again.

[Kinami Ooshiro]

Kinami once again remained silent. Her arm had become tired of holding her pile of books for so long, and she found it best to switch them to her other arm, but that didn't change the fact that she felt guilty about lying. Even if she was used to this process, having usually been caught when she spied, it still hurt to lie. Her face was lightly tinged with shameful pink, as she kept her gaze to the ground below them. It was like she was a child and was caught for doing wrong. Her expression immediately turned to surprise as Sage suddenly snapped in what seemed to be anger.

"You know, I am rather childish at times, but I don't need to be protected by stupid little human girl, then by a damn Day Class student!"

Kinami kept her head down, and even though she had stopped crying when Fujiwara had admitted that she had been lying, actual tears, little tiny crystals, were waiting to breech her eyelids. Was that all she was? Some stupid little huma--... Her mental processes stopped. Human? Human? If she was human, what did that make the re-- No, it couldn't be. She was jumping to conclusions. But, for Sage to say something like that...

As she turned to look up at the older student, all she saw was her back, walking away. The Day student sighed on the inside; why was everything so difficult sometimes? As the Moon's Vice President spoke to the two Night students, she didn't really pay attention. It didn't matter to her, anyway. It was only when he started speaking to her that she suddenly snapped to reality. "Y-Yes! I-I'm sorry... I just di-didn't want to see t-them in trouble." It was hard to speak to someone of superior status, really, it was. She bowed as low as she could, before resuming her ground gaze.

What had gone on between Sage, Ichijou, and Kuran, anyway? It made the air thick with discomfort. Not that it was any of her business.
