She had taken away his memories. Tears filled her eyes, as drops fell down onto his beautiful face.
"My precious brother..."
"Kaname..my darling brother..."
"I'm sorry, Kaname.." She held him, she caressed his cheeks. "If this is going to save your life, then..I will gladly do this, even if it means that you leave my side for an eternity. Consider this a selfish wish, on my behalf."
"Yuuki dear, You just gave up the love of your life. He's open prey to any other pureblood female out there. Including myself." Yuuki glanced up, glaring at the woman before her. Sure, Yuuki was childish, but she had learned. She had learned how to act properly.
"Shirabuki, Sara." The young Kuran princess replied coldly. "He will have no memories of you. He wont even remember that he has a sister. He'll believe that he grew up as an only child. Do you really want that?" A playful smile was upon Sara's lips. Amusement flickered in her eyes. Yes, she was enjoying this. "I could kill him now, you know." Yuuki said nothing. Her eyes flickered in anger, and the walls around her began to crack, the windows shattered, and a piece of glass flew across Sara's cheek, cutting her slightly. The cut healed up instantly.
"Oh my, I hit a nerve." Sara laughed softly. "Get out." Yuuki stood up from where she was, Artemis in her hand. "Leave my sight Sara, or I will cut you down, and the only thing left of you will be your ashes." Sara smiled again. "Very well, Kuran Yuuki-sama. I will leave."
"Lady Yuuki!" Yuuki saw Sara dissappear before her. She turned her head around when she heard her name being called out. "Yuuki-sama...what happened?" Hanabusa Aidou stood before her, along with Kain, Ruka, and Seiren. Yuuki looked at them with a pained look in her eyes. They looked down to the ground. There laid Kaname, unconscious. They looked back to Yuuki. "What..happened?"
Yuuki turned around. "I erased his memories of me. "
" Yuuki-sama..why?"
Yuuki smiled faintly. "In order to save him, I did something selfish." She looked up at them. "Don't worry, you guys are safe in his memories. He just won't remember that he had a younger sister. You could say, I altered his memories. I don't exist in his world. "
" Yuuki-sama, what about you, where will you go?" Yuuki smiled faintly. "I will stay with Isaya. Please, don't tell Kaname of my existence. It's better off this way. I've caused him so much trouble, and the only way to repay him is erasing myself from his life. I really am foolish." She said sadly. "I'll be on my way."
Eight years had passed since then. Yuuki had tried to live her life to the fullest. Those eight years had seemed like an eternity for her. She closed her eyes, deep in thought, when the sound of the door slowly opening behind her, snapped her out of her thoughts.
"Mama?" She turned her attention to a small boy, no older than eight years of age. But the boy was a pureblood. Like her; Due to his nature, he was far more mature than any normal eight year old. In fact he looked like he was twelve. Her son had wavy locks of dark brown hair. And Wine colored eyes stared back into her own. The replica of Kaname Kuran, except he had messy short brown hair.
"Kaoru, you're supposed to be studying, dear." Kaoru puffed his cheeks. "I wanted a break." The young boy replied. Yuuki giggled softly. "How come, there isn't a King among us anymore?" Yuuki sighed. "If you stopped torturing your teachers, maybe you would learn something." She laughed lightly. Kaoru puffed his cheeks again. Yuuki giggled at her son, and poked his cheeks lightly. "Because the last Kuran King stepped down and decided a more reasonable approach on things. He established the Council of Ancients. "
"And what did they do?"
"They were in charge of bringing order, and peace among our kind. They also monitored the purebloods. In truth, they worked together with the Hunters. So they could establish peace between both races."
"But the council doesn't exist, what happened to them?" Yuuki knew what happened, after all, the man she loved the most was responsible for their execution. Her eyes showed sadness again. "Kaname Kuran, decided it was time to eliminate them. They were far beyond corrupt."
"Does that mean that he's the king now?" Yuuki smiled. "He still chose a couple of his close comrades to help him establish order among our race, dear. Think of it, as a democracy. Because he really doesn't consider himself a king. "
"Is he really all that powerful?" Yuuki smiled, kissing her boy on the cheek. "Break time is over. Go study." Kaoru puffed his cheeks again. "Fine." He said grumpily.
Kaname Kuran, he was incomparable. He was her life. She watched her son as he made his way back to where he was studying. He was the spitting image of Kaname. Kaoru always gave her that gentle look that reminded her of Kaname. He used to give her the same look. The look that told her everything was going to be okay.
"Yuuki?" She turned to look at the other being that had just entered. "Good evening, Isaya." She smiled brightly. The smile was returned to her. "I just saw Kaoru-kun, he seemed angry about something." Yuuki laughed softly. "I made him go study." Isaya laughed. "Yuuki, we have to return home." Yuuki looked back at him. "I know, I was aware. Time flies by quickly."
"And it seems so long, and lonely when you can't spend it with your loved ones." Isaya quickly added. Yuuki looked away. "Kaname just got engaged to Sara, you know." He added. Yuuki stiffened. " It was bound to happen." She replied softly. "How long are you going to suffer, Yuuki?"
"It was the price I had to pay, to save him." Isaya shook his head. "Just like your mother, stubborn." He smiled. "Yuuki, how about, you become my fiancee?" Yuuki blinked as she looked back to Isaya. "But I.."
"Don't worry, you have a long time to decide on this."
"Hanabusa, you're to cheerful, what's going on?" Kain whispered to his cousin, as they walked behind Kaname. "It's a secret!" He grinned. "Chairman Cross is starting to rub off on you." Ruka added. Aidou sighed as he leaned in. "Lady Yuuki is returning tomorrow." Ruka's eyes widened. "She's returning with Lord Isaya." Aidou chirped. "Aidou." Kaname turned around to face his comrade. "Is there a reason, as in to why you're being so sneaky?" Aidou laughed nervously. "Not at all Lord Kaname!"
"Lord Isaya is returning with his fiancee tomorrow evening." Seiren appeared out of nowhere. Aidou slightly glared at Seiren. "Fiancee? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing, let alone, I don't know who the lucky girl is."
They all looked at him nervously. "You three don't happen to know?" Kaname arched an eyebrow. All three shook their heads. "Not at all, Lord Kaname!"
"Her name is Yuuki Cross." Kaname stopped. "Cross, as in like Kaien Cross?" Seiren nodded her head. "I wasn't aware that Kaien Cross raised a vampire. A pureblood at that." He mused.
"All of you are hiding something from me. I will find out, sooner or later." Kaname smiled as he walked off. The three took deep breaths. "Seiren. Why did you give him the name?"
"I know what I was doing. My orders have always been to protect her." She disappeared.
"My darling Yuuki is coming back! My precious daughter is coming back! Woooohoo~" He yelled into the phone. Only that as soon as he said that, the person on the other line had hung up. "Soo mean." He sighed.
He quickly picked the phone up again dialing the same number again. "Yagari-" The answering machine had come on. Kaien hung up. "Ahh, I'll call Zero then!"
"Do you have a new mission for me?" Came the calm, emotionless voice from the other side of the line. Kaien smiled. "My darling daughter is coming back to me!"
"..." The phone went dead again. "Seems like Yuuki is the only one that cares..." He picked up a picture he had. It was the picture of a little boy, no older than 5 hugging a stuffed bunny doll. The boy looked shy, he was blushing and he had a small frown on his face. Kaien smiled softly. "Just like Yuuki when she was young."
Kaname had left the trio behind.
Aidou, Kain, and Ruka looked at each other nervously. "I hate lying to Kaname-sama." Ruka sighed pushing her hair back. "But...if we told him,Yuuki-sama would get angry also, and it would also harm Kaname-sama. He doesn't even know he has a sister, let alone that he was married once."
"Seiren might end up telling him..." Aidou kept on complaining. "Aidou, Yuuki-sama is his beloved one. Kaname-sama has ordered that whatever may happen to him. Protect Yuuki-sama at all costs. Even from him if necessary." Seiren had appeared behind Aidou. Making the young noble jump up from surprise. Seiren wasn't one to talk much. So she had said her share of words. Even that was too much for her.
"Good point." Kain said softly. "Ahh, I'm an Uncle now!" Aidou spontaneously pulled out a picture from his pocket. "Aren't Kaoru and Aoi-sama so adorable?" Ruka and Kain looked at each other. "Aidou..is that.." Ruka trailed off. Aidou smiled proudly. Both nobles looked at the picture. There was no mistaking it. The young boy was Yuuki's child. He was a Kuran. Ruka smiled softly. "Yes, he's adorable. He looks just like him." Aidou nodded. "His name is Kaoru Shouto"Kain and Ruka looked at each other. "As in, the son of Isaya Shouto?" Aidou smiled mischievously. "Don't worry, he was born as you first thought. Yuuki-sama purposely changed his last name. " They both sighed in relief.
"So, she's coming back with him?" Aidou nodded. "She's going to be staying at the Shouto residence. "
"Kaname-sama will have your head if you go visit." Ruka chimed. Aidou tensed up. "She said she wanted to meet us at Cross Academy."
"Still, Kaname-sama would not approve." She said again. "It's Yuuki-sama we're talking about." Aidou sighed. "We'll have to do something about that. We've been doing this behind his back for eight years. I know I feel guilty, but Yuuki-sama doesn't want to make herself known."
Kaname Kuran sat at the meeting with the Hunters. He felt that something was off. He knew his followers were hiding something from him. Normally they would tell him everything, but for them to lie and tell him otherwise. That was another thing. The matter must have been something serious.
"Kaname-sama." He heard his name. He lifted his head up and closed his eyes. " Isaya Shouto is returning, it seems. He's returning with his fiancee and their son." One of the nobles had spoken to him. "Ah, yes. I've heard. Yuuki Cross, was it not?" He replied quite coldly. The name Yuuki felt familiar to him. He knew he had heard of that name somewhere. He knew it felt important to him, but he couldn't place his finger on it. "I never knew Kaien Cross had adopted a Pureblood as his daughter. I thought it was against you Hunters." He smiled, but behind that smile, was pure irritation, and anger that something like that had been hidden from him.
Some of the hunters glared at Kaname. "It is none of your business who we choose to protect." One of the hunters snapped back. Kaname smiled again. "Ah, yes forgive me for being rude."
"Now that all the Purebloods will be in the same area, I want to arrange an Engagment party. We must celebrate my engagement to Shirabuki Sara. I want the Hunters there too. Make this as a pact of peace, between the two races. That is my most ulterior motive. " He added.
"That sounds like a splendid idea, Kaname-sama." Kaien Cross had entered, with a huge smile on his face. "As Association President, I approve."
"Thank You, President."
The meeting was over, and Kaien turned to look at Yagari. "Yagari, you hung up on me! " Yagari flashed him a look of irritation. "I don't want to hear you babble on about your daughter. " Kaien whimpered. "So mean!"
Kaname hadn't left yet, but Kaien being who he was completley ignored him. "President." Kaname smiled politley. Kaien looked back at Kaname. " Oh, Did you know I'm a grandpa?"
"My adorable grandchildren! They look just like my little Yuuki! So shy and cute!" Yagari was getting even more irritated. "Yuuki Cross...is there any information on what family she comes from?" Kaien snapped out of his silly mood. "Kaname, My darling Yuuki has requested that I keep that information to myself." Kaien smiled. "She knows little of her past, but she also doesn't want anyone to know she's a pureblood, which is why she moved out of the country. But, she is going to come back to associate herself with her own kind. Please, do treat her well. King Kuran." Kaien pushed his glasses up. Yagari stood up. "Come on, we've wasted to much time here." Kaien perked his head up. "Ahh, yes. I have to get back to my adorable students! Good bye Kaname!" He waved cheerfuly.
"Yuuki..Cross.." Kaname didn't know why, but he felt sorrow when he heard that name. He wondered why he felt that way. His life had been an unhappy one. Thank's to the previous council, he had been engaged to Shirabuki, Sara. Of course it was all decided after the death of Ouri. There were very little purebloods left. To keep the bloodline strong, he had no choice in the matter. But one thing he was sure of, Sara wanted him for his blood. The blood of a Kuran. He was well aware of that.
How do you like it so far?
