Of course, given her family, the other victims of the highjacking also have good reason to be grateful that Kaname is there, which wasn't the case in canon, IIRC.

I mean, trying to kidnap a Sterling? Not in any way safe, even ignoring her grandparents, or the frankly huge number of very badass family friends Mom can call on... and then there's Kaname, herself, who I suspect is a whole lot scarier than canon Chidori.

Wait, if its a school trip, there's a chance that Boba Fett is there, too...

“They planned their campaigns just as you might make a splendid piece of harness. It looks very well; and answers very well; until it gets broken; and then you are done for. Now I made my campaigns of ropes. If anything went wrong, I tied a knot; and went on.”
