All that could be heard in the room was the sound of water trickling and flowing throughout the maze of connecting aquariums and pools. The room had glass walls and was completely surrounded by water except for the exit which led up and out of the underwater meeting room. The men at the table sat quietly, some fidgeting nervously.

They had all come to meet with a powerful and wealthy young woman by the name of Yuuki Kuran. She owned a very powerful and rare pureblood Mer. So powerful in fact that it wasn't even really contained. He basically had his own free will and did whatever he pleased. His aquarium - that they were in the middle of right now - was huge and connected to the ocean so he could come and go as he pleased. But said merman was at prime age and his caretaker wanted to find him a suitable mate; Even if no offspring were produced in the process.

The door suddenly opened and called attention to the graceful figure that walked in. She was wearing a black mid thigh dress and ruby red heels that matched her lipstick and jewelry. Her wine colored eyes held a coldness in them that had everyone sitting straighter and trying to please. She expected respect and would get it.

The oldest man in the room stood and bowed, a smile gracing his face as he knew the Kuran heir more than anyone else in the room.

"Miss Kuran, we all got your letters. Let us discuss business shall we?"

A small smirk tugged at her lips as she walked across the room and circled the table, her hips swaying gracefully as she brushed a hand against one of the see through glass walls. She never sat down as everyone else was. Instead she simply stood at the head of the table and crossed her arms as she eyed the men around her.

"Yes. Well, if you are all here I can only assume you know why you are. My precious Kaname needs a mate. I care not the species nor gender. Just someone he will..approve of."

One of the men spoke up looking smug, "I have very high quality breeders. I'm sure he would jump at the chance to bed one of them."

Yuuki's lips twitched again but this time in almost a scoff or a sneer instead of a smirk as she walked back over to the right side of the room, her hand coming to rest on the cold glass as she looked into the seemingly endless aquarium.

"I meant a mate. Not a fucktoy. Also, he wouldn't jump at the chance because so far he has ripped everything we have put in this aquarium to pieces."

A lot of the men paled at the last part of her speech and shook their heads, not wanting to risk it. However, a man with long hair and glasses, called Mr. Cross by many, spoke up with a sharp gaze.

"I have a male in my possession that you might find suiting. He is not a high blood line or pureblood but he is a beauty, and a submissive so he has female reproductive organs and...genitals as well as male. Though the chance of him getting pregnant is very low."

Yuuki hummed lowly and gave him her full attention as she replied. "Hmmm. But you heard what I said did you not? You are willing to risk this male's death?"

The man laughed and flashed a radiant smile. "My Zero is not the type to just sit there. Even if your male did attack him, Kaname would come out of it with injuries at least. Even if he did manage to kill Zero. Also, as for that, let's put Zero in a connecting tank to this one and see? If there is a glass wall between them I think your pureblood wouldn't want to go through the trouble of breaking through it. Depending on their reactions we can decide whether or not to proceed further."

The young heir's eyes lit up and she smiled. "I...actually like the idea of that. You are the first one to suggest it too. All the other's just foolishly had them put in the central tank."

Several of the men at the table tensed, eyes widening as they scooted their chairs as for away from Yuuki as possible. She smirked when she heard a low and deep rumble from behind her and turned back to see Kaname looking in, his eyes glowing red and fangs and claws on full display as he snarled at the men before looking to Yuuki and chirring lowly as he placed his hand so that it aligned with hers through the glass.

She turned back to the men and nodded.

"This meeting is over, I have made my decision, I will take my leave now. I will send someone to escort you out in a minute."

She walked out of the room and everyone except Cross jolted when the huge mer slammed his hand against the window, a evil grin full of razor sharp fangs directed at them as his large tail brushed against the glass as he slowly started to circle the room like a predator would circle prey.

The men were all too happy when their escort came.
