"L-Luna? Tepes family?" Hanabusa asked as he got even more confused. "I heard that the Tepes family was equally as high as the Kuran family in the western." Akatsuki informed him. "And, is she... Luna? You know, that Luna?" Hanabusa asked disbelief as she pointed the princess standing beside Kaname who was looking at her too, as he was too, surprised with it.

Princess Luna who noticed him staring at her turned to look at him and spoke in a low voice again, "I guess you should take this chance to go after your princess." She simply spoke without really giving any expressions, or it was only covered under her mask. Kaname took another second staring at her before he spoke up. "Are you really that same Luna?" He asked. But Princess Luna just curved her lips up before answering him. "That, I cannot tell." She simply said before returning to the guests. "I will keep them busy." She added before she was then surrounded by the guests. Kaname had stayed for another second watching her before he took his leave and returned to the room where Yuki was staying.

Inside the room, Kaname had countered Yuki on how she had broken their promise, and for some reason, something was steering inside his heart that he just had to punish her, or so he said, but he just wanted to monopolize her. So, he had brought her to the sofa and he laid on top of her. Yuki had hugged him back when she suddenly felt embarrassed and sad. So Kaname had looked up to her and that was when he saw her open neck. Then, suddenly, he had the urge to drink her blood.

Yuki was surprised when he suddenly licked her neck. "Ka-kaname...senpai...?!" She called out weakly as he licked her neck. "Yuki..." Kaname called out slowly. "Do you want to become like me? A monster that only has his thirst fulfilled only by drinking up one's blood? A vampire?" He asked as he looked at her. Yuki looked back at him for a while before she replied with a smile. "Sure." Was her only reply, and Kaname had moved back to her neck, readied to bite her when he suddenly heard her sobs. He lifted his face up again only to see her tears.

"Don't worry. I'm just kidding. It was a joke." He said as he brushed his hand gently to wipe her tears. "I'm sorry the punishment had gone too far." He added as he helped her up. "The headmaster will arrive soon. You should go back and have some rest." And with that, Kaname had sent her downstairs and out to meet the headmaster who had come with Yuki's best friend, Yori. Then, Yuki returned back to the dorm with them.

Meanwhile, as the party had finished, some of the guests had gone home, and Zero was on a corridor talking to his younger brother before the said brother was ordered to sent Ichijou Ichio back. "Ichiru... You..." Zero could not finish it, but Ichiru had understood what he was about to speak. "I've been employed by the senate." Was the only thing he said with his signature smile on his face before he left with Ichijou Ichio, leaving Zero alone on the dark corridor before someone walked to him.

"Hmm~ so you two are twins...?" The person spoke up. Zero turned to only look at the masked Princess Luna. "Who are you?" He asked. Apparently, he was not present when she was being introduced loudly before. "Well, if you've missed it then, so be it. However..." She then moved closer to him. "What poor children... To live as cursed twins." and with that, she left him alone once again, not looking even more confused than before.

"Princess, was it alright to tell him that?" The Princess' attendant asked as she followed behind him. "It is alright. He had heard it from the old Ichijou too after all. I just repeated it to hint it more to him." The Princess nonchalantly said. Then she suddenly stopped on her track when she saw who was standing on the front gate. "Ah, are you leaving too, Kuran Kaname-sama?" She asked as she walked up to him.

Kaname turned to look at her after he had sent Yuki to the Headmaster. "Yes, and so do you?" He asked too. "Yes, I will be leaving too now. I hope we could meet again next time." She said with a smile on her face, though her mask was still covering her upper face. Kaname stared at her for a while before asking the question he had wanted to ask. "If you're the same Luna, could you tell me where did you keep Scarlet?"

The question was not that surprising actually, but it was still somewhat surprising to hear it directly from Kaname himself. "Well... To answer that." Princess Luna began. "Number one, what would you do if I was the same Luna, yet did not want to tell you?" She asked, then before he could answer, she spoke up again. "Number two, what if I were to answer I did not know since I am not the same Luna as you know." Then she added again. "Number three, What would you do if I were to answer you, being me the same Luna as you thought?" She looked straight at him from her mask. "And, lastly, why would you even ask such a question?" She finished answering with another question.

"To answer all of your questions, let me begin with Yuki was concerned for her." Kaname answered truthfully. The Princess just listened to him, waiting for him to continue. "And then, for number one until number three, I cannot answer until you answer me. Since you could choose any answer you felt like it after I answer." He answered her smoothly. "Hmm~" Princess Luna smirked as she heard him. "Pretty good answer. But, before I answered your question before, let me ask you another question." She said. Kaname let her asked it out. "Was it only just for the said Yuki then?" She asked looking at him seriously.

The question was quite surprising for Kaname, as he saw all her smiles and smirks had disappeared and somehow, she reminded him of Scarlet herself, for being so expressionless. "To answer that, number one..." Kaname began, and Princess Luna had chuckled. "Alright, I got it. You don't have to repeat it. For your answer, I'm sorry but I do not know. I do not know where the Scarlet you've been looking for is being kept at. I at least do not know the place's whereabout." She answered with a smile. "Good luck finding her, then. I shall take my leave now. Have a good night, Kaname-sama." She bowed lightly before she turned away from him. "Let's go home, Maya." She said to her attendant who had been waiting for her from behind the gate. Kaname just watched them left as he felt something was amiss, but he was not sure on what was it.
