Tea Party

Yuuki ran down the hallway laughing. Takuma chased after her shouting. "Give it back Yuuki! Please? I'll do anything! Just give me back my Captive Heart!" The maid dusting the mirror gasped in surprise as he said this and promptly fainted. He didn't have time to help her up and flew past. He had to get his precious manga back, but Yuuki was fast for being just a human and wasn't about to give it back.

Then it struck him. If he wanted it back he had to play dirty. He turned around and ran back down the hallway. "Time to play dirty, Yuuki-chan. I'll make you bend to my will," he muttered just as he went past the wakening maid again. She turned pink and promptly past out.

Kaname shuffled through the papers in his office. It had only been a few days in the manor and he was already behind. How he hated paperwork. But he needed to do this or the Council would be on his door step and Yuuki would be in danger.

His dear girl was happy here and probably off with Takuma somewhere laughing. The pen he was holding snapped in two. Closing his eyes he counted backwards from ten, then twenty. When he opened them again he caught sight of the bunny he'd given her. It was sitting in the office chair where she'd left it to "keep him company." He smiled, before returning to his work.

Suddenly Takuma burst through the door. "Need rabbit…Urgent…Tea Party…" Before Kaname could blink, the blonde was gone and so was the bunny. He looked down and returned to work, almost missing the stuffed animal.

"Ohhh Yuuuuuuukkiiii…." Takuma called, walking down the grand staircase. A small giggle echoed through the entry hall, and a door creaked. She was hiding from him. He held up the floppy bunny. "Hand over my manga or your precious Usa-chan dies," he called, holding the rabbit over the side of the stairwell.

"Usa-chan, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" A blur of blue came barreling towards him, knocking him off his feet, and snatching the beloved bunny from his grasp. Takuma was too busy diving for the forgotten manga to care.

"Ahhhh noooo!!!!" He caught it, just before it reached the ground. He cradled it lovingly, checking it over with reverence. He looked back at the small girl a little reproachfully.

She sat on the stair cradling her rabbit. "Is Usa okay? Did mean ol' Takuma hurt Yuuki's Usa-chan? Let Yuuki kiss it better!" she chirped, kissing the rabbit on the nose.

It was too much for Takuma.

"Yuuki is so Kawaii!" he cried, hugging her.

Yuuki wrinkled her nose at him. "Yuuki and Usa-chan will forgive Taku-kun on one condition."

"What's that, Yuuki-hime, Usa-chan?"

"Play with us!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him away.

It was several hours later, when Kaname found them. Takuma was wearing a frilly, old coat and completely absorbed in the tea party they were having. Neither noticed Kaname entering the ballroom.

"Yuuki." All it took was one word.

"Kaname!" The girl looked up from the tea pot and catapulted herself into his arms.

"Have you been having fun with Ichijou?"

"Hai! Taku-kun is playing tea with Yuuki!" The blonde was edging himself out of view, which is hard to do in a ballroom where there is nothing to hide behind.

"Hello Ichijou."

"Hello…Kaname." He gave up and simply stood there.

"It's almost time for dinner. Yuuki let's go get changed. Ichijou…" Kaname couldn't find anything to say that wouldn't cause himself to lose his composure and laugh at his friend's predicament. They left Ichijou to simply stand there.

Ichijou took off the fuchsia coat and matching frilly shirt. Putting on more appropriate clothing he decided to go to Yuuki's room where his two friends would be.

But when he got to where it should have been there was nothing but wall. He walked down another hallway. Maybe it was in a different wing? Using his vampire speed he searched the rest of the wing and than the rest of the house. In twenty seconds he was back where he'd started, and there still wasn't a door.

He knocked on Kaname's door. When no one answered, he entered. Kaname wasn't there either. So he went to the dining room and read a pocket manga until they arrived.

After dinner he asked Kaname about the door. The pureblood paused to think a moment before answering. "The door is only visible when Yuuki or I wish to enter. The only other person who may enter is the Head Housekeeper who cleans our rooms."

"So it's invisible?"

"No. The door vanishes to another dimension when unneeded. The housekeeper may only enter at the allotted time."

"Oh, I get it."

"Takuma," the pureblood gave the noble the look.

"Yes, Kaname." The blonde nodded. He would tell no one.

Yuuki and Kaname returned to their rooms after dinner. Yuuki pulled on her night gown, and let Kaname tuck her in. She grabbed Usa-chan off the coverlet and pulled the rabbit under the covers with her.

"Will you be okay Yuuki?" he whispered.

"Hai Kaname, Yuuki will pretend Kaname is here with her and everything will be okay!" she chirped back.

"Good night, Yuuki," he murmured. He slipped through the door, letting it click softly shut behind him.

Yuuki buried herself further into the covers. "Kaname is Yuuki's prince and with him here nothing can hurt Yuuki. Good night, my prince."
