Chapter 1: A new beginning from the past darkest years
"What is a mother, Sensei?" Her student curiously asked about a certain person, a mother. She closed the book she was reading and walked towards the desk of her student. She placed the book in it and sat in front of her.
"Well my dear, a mother is the one who gave birth to her child. She is a very important person in the family and the love of her husband." She simply answered.
"So it means that every child has their own mother?" This was a quite surprise for her. You can't blame her, she is now turning seven years old and until now she still doesn't know what a mother is.
"Yes like me, I'm the mother of my daughter."
"Not all of them." Her head bowed and stared at her tiny palms. Tears formed at the corner of her eyes.
Her teacher raised her chin to face her. She wiped her tears and caressed her cheek. "Why do say so?"
"Because I don't have and Daddy never loved a woman." She sadly replied. She felt her heart skipped a beat upon hearing this child's answer.
"No, your father… uhm, I'm not supposed to tell you about it." Her teacher hesitated.
"What is it?" She insisted. She wanted to know the reason… the real reason. For seven years, she didn't know anything about her mother. She keeps on insisting her father to talk about her but he always change the topic like he's avoiding something.
"I'm sorry but it is not of my duty." She apologized.
"Okay but Sensei do I really have?"
"Of course." She quickly replied.
"Every human child and vampire child originated from their respective parents. They are living here because of them. If they're not here of course, you won't be here. Believe me, your mother may not be here however, she has a reason for it. Only your parents knew about it. The important thing is she really loves you and care about you so much." She continued. She assured her that she doesn't need to be sad because one day they will meet. She cupped her face and kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, you will meet her soon."
"I do believe." The little girl closed her eyes and feels the warm touch of her teacher. 'I wish I could find and meet her.' She hoped that the dream she had been wishing for would be fulfilled, a dream of having a complete family.
Silent…
Inside a shadowy room, a tall figure stood near the window. His eyes were shut as flashbacks started to whirl through his clear mind, from that accident occurred seven years ago. Since that day happened, he kept on blaming himself that it was his fault but it cannot be helped for things done cannot be undone… anymore. Past is past, he cannot bring back it again. He intended to forget it to be buried for a long time. He did not want to reminisce it again hence he won't feel the same despair he had before. His entire world turned upside down when misfortune encountered him. It was unanticipated event.
He slowly opens his eyes with crimson red glowing in it. He is starving… no he can't. He shook his head to restrain the hunger inside. He turned around to get his blood tablets on his desk and gulped it all without water. It tasted dull compared to a real blood… her own blood. He opened his drawer, returned the box in it and closed it. He leaned against the window and he placed his hand into his face and sighed. He murmured, "I'm sorry."
"May I come in?" He interrupted. He slowly opened the door and entered.
"What is it Ichijou?"
"Well, Seira-sama's birthday will be next week. Do you have any plans for it?"
"Yes, it was well-prepared and everything will be prefect."
"Uhm… What about 'them'? I mean…" There's a hesitant on his tone of voice. He didn't want to point it out his intention but…
"Do you want me to invite them?" Kaname already knew what he really meant and in fact, he is aware of it, always aware of it.
Ichijou sighed, "… Kaname, I think it's better to do it. It is for her own good."
"What do you mean?"
"They are a part of her. They are the missing pieces of her. It is her chance to know and meet them."
"She doesn't need it. I don't want her to be hurt… the same I had before and I don't want her to experience it." He defended.
"But we can prevent it somehow."
"No." He putted a stress on it for him to understand that he doesn't want.
"Kaname… I know it's hard for you but... don't be so cruel, you know you're little girl might become sulk at you now." He warned him
"She won't."
"But"
"No"
"I"
"How many times should I say…"
"No." Ichijou finished what he is about to say. He settled himself into the couch near him. He paused for a while, he's been thinking of ways to persuade him but unluckily he's getting out of it. 'Geez, how would I persuade him is just a simple desire of his daughter and yet he could not give... Nah, I won't give up perhaps there's still one more, he can't refuse her.' He thought. He scratched his head and crossed his arms above his chest while the other one supported his jaw.
Kaname observed his friend in deep thought and chuckled, "Let me think of it." He gave up, his friend always insists him and he nearly annoyed but for almost seven years he got used to it. This man is getting on his nerves when it comes to it.
"Huh?!" He uttered unconsciously. He snapped out of his thoughts and shook his head to return to reality.
"Alright, I'll look forward on it. If you have decided let me know first." 'Yes, I got him.' He mentally smiled.
"I will." Kaname sighed.
Ichijou left with lighthearted. He chuckled while walking along the corridor of this manor. He stopped when he approached her room. He reminisced those miserable years. Only, he knew about Kaname's past, the accident occurred seven years ago. He didn't expect that it will happen to his best friend. He even witnessed how it was done. He also blamed himself because he couldn't help him. He attempted but it was too late. All he can do now was to sympathized him and consoled his feelings. Whenever he's at his side, he always noticed the pureblood's aura emanating a dark and mystifying atmosphere. He understood him because he knew that he protects his child, the pureblood princess is the only thing left that he doesn't want to lose. He had promised to himself that he will protect them no matter what happens even risking his own life.
"Whatever it takes, I'm ready." He sighed.
A silver glass glimmered at his sight. When he turned his head across his bookshelf, he saw the rose in resin beside the pile of books. 'It's still here.' He was searching for it and now, he found it. He clutched tightly and stared at it for a moment. Pain was written all over his face and his heart was burning inside.
"Why do you have to do that for me? It was supposed to be me. Why did I gave up on you?… Why I became stupid? Tellme." Every time, he ask himself over and over like it was recorded on his mind. He tried to find the answer nonetheless it never told as if something was concealed, the whole truth.
He placed the rose inside his pocket and left. He came across and saw Ruka. Ruka saw him too and bowed before him and said, "Kaname-sama, Seira-sama is in her room and already fast asleep."
He nodded and half smiled, "Thank you."
Ruka smiled too. "Kaname-sama, what a wonderful daughter you have. She is a very special person."
"Indeed." He agreed.
He left Ruka. And again, she bowed. She stared at his waning figure. 'You are not alone Kaname-sama. We're right here with you.' She utteredmentally.
Kaname went to his daughter's room. He gently twisted the knob and opened. He looked at his little girl sleeping peacefully. She is his angel and the most precious gift he could ever treasure. He remembered the day she was born and the same day the accident occurred.
He saw her weak after she gave birth to their child. He came close to her and looked at her with loving eyes.
"She's very tiny but a healthy one.' She was holding her daughter in her arms. He kissed her hand and said, "She's resembles you."
His love smiled at him, "She's the precious gift I gave to you. I'm so happy that I wish it won't last. And together we will live forever."
He smiled too and said, "We will be together forever."
He walked across her bed and sat at edge of it. He brushed his fingers into her silky hair. He caressed her cheek and remembered the words that Ruka have said earlier.
"Kaname-sama, what a wonderful daughter you have. She is a very special person."
"You're right, she is very special to me just like her." He noticed her hair had grown long, thick and has the same shade as hers. 'You look like her' he placed the solidified rose on her bed side drawer. "This was the gift I gave to your mother when we were young."
"I promise that no one will try to harm you. You're my everything. I love you." He kissed her forehead and wished her good night.
