Heeeeeeey guys. I'm back for the moment. ~

Hopefully for awhile.

Anywho, I am rewriting the first and second memory of Reminiscing, considering the rules say you are not allowed to copy and paste the same exact material. So, I'm hoping when I rewrite it, it won't be deleted. Let's cross our fingers. It's just too difficult to go back and forth between accounts to read. It's just too much. So, I'm hoping you enjoy this.

:)

Kaname's POV(Point Of View)

September 20, 1993 (Monday) 8:46 AM

Kuran Mansion

"Kaaaaaaaaanaaaaaame!" A feminine voice called out in a distressed, frustrated tone... disturbing me from my slumber. I slightly opened my eyes a bit, adjusting my eyes to the morning light that crept into my room. I lingered in my bed, making excuses up in my mind and distracting myself with the light, sunny waves that illuminated itself onto my walls-caused from the curtains flowing with the wind and the Fall sun glaring through the windows. I sighed, pulling the covers over my head, my body sinking into the mattress each time I moved.. the pillows my head laid on -

"KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANAAAAAME!" My eyes shot open, hitting my head on the head board.

I rubbed the back of my head in a gentle manner.. This woman better have a good reason for disturbing me.. I thought quietly in my head. I pushed to get myself up, dragging the covers off and over my body and flinging them to the side.

I flung my legs over the side of the bed and sat there for a moment, regaining some strength to get up onto my feet. I quickly pulled myself off the bed and lazily started for the door. I grasped the door knob gently, turning it to reveal a long, lengthy hallway. I sensed Juuri from my doorway near Yuuki's room. Yuuki was my newly born baby Sister, about 7 months old.

She must be having problems trying to get Yuuki to sleep again..

I power-walked down the hall, hoping that the thuds of my feet would make her aware that I was coming so she wouldn't shout like that again.

I heard loud cries coming from Yuuki's room and Juuri's soft, but irritated voice trying to hush her to sleep. I came to a stop at the doorway, leaning against the frame of the door while I glanced at Juuri with her daughter in her embrace.

Juuri sat in an old-fashioned rocking chair, rocking back and forth rather violently... the chair making odd sounds and creaks... the rocking of the chair pounding against the hard surface of the wooden floor, as Juuri stroked the small amount of hair on Yuuki's head roughly.

Juuri is overly exaughsted... she won't get much accomplished when she's this tired..

"Yes, Juuri..?" I asked, besides knowing why she called for me.

"Kaname, you know Yuuki only goes to sleep when you hold her." She grudgingly said as she glared up at me.

I stared at her for a minute, her eyes glazed over and brimming with tears.

"Juuri, have you ever came to think that... you're being too rough with her?"

Silence overcame the both of us, besides Yuuki's cries of discomfort.

"Can you please... help me...?" She questioned, her shoulders slouching and not making eye contact with me.

"Of course... I'll show you how it has to be done..." I smirked, closing my eyes and quietly making my way over to the distressed woman and her child, my Yuuki.

She started to reposition Yuuki in her arms so she can transfer her into my care, Juuri giving me a expression of warning to be gentle.

I don't need to see that from you, considering how you handle her. I thought to myself, giving her a reassured but stern look.

I continued to rant in my head how she doubted the safety of my care, as I lifted Yuuki up with an arm and balanced her head on my shoulder. Her cries growing louder from the sudden movement.

"Shh.. it's okay, baby girl.." I cooed in her ear, as Juuri sat up from her slouching position in the rocking chair and got up quietly, giving me access to finally sit down.

She glanced back at me, looking for another reassuring sign for her to head off to bed. I nodded to her as a defeated expression crept onto Juuri's face. She nodded towards me and said, "Goodnight, Son... Make sure she gets to sleep."

She flashed me a relieved smile as she grabbed the door knob and slowly turned it, opening it half-way and slipping out the door into the hallway. The small, faint thuds of her feet disappearing into the distant hall.

I waited until Juuri was gone to sit myself down in the chair. I gently sat myself down without disturbing my Yuuki any more than she already has been tonight.

I buried myself into Yuuki's hair... her scent washing over me and intoxicating my senses..

...petals of gardenia, jasmine, and peach nectar... matches her perfectly. A clean, innocent scent... I guess I know her best.

I sighed contently, my facial expression relaxing... a soft smile lifting the corners of my mouth. I inhaled, shutting my eyes and letting my fingers touch Yuuki's back. Exhaling as I moved my fingers in circular motions... her cries starting to die down..

I gently handled her delicate head with my hand, placing her head on my arm as I glanced down at my little Sister, little and fragile, but still my beautiful wife-to-be. My foot started to push-off the floor, rocking us both in a fragile way, careful not to start her cries up again.

I started humming in a soothing tone, my vocal cords rattling my throat as I let my head fall back. I closed my eyes, listening to her heart beat in sync with mine. My chest rising up... and down.

I started to drift off.. I can't just sit here and fall asleep... I mean, I can, but she needs to be laid down before I can lay down myself. This would be discomforting for both of us if we drifted off in this position.

I calmly slid off the chair and stood there for a moment to make sure I didn't wake her. I studied her face, looking for any kind of discomfort evident on her face as I walked her over to her crib. Wait... probably best I take her with me. She started hollering the last time I tried to leave her in her crib... I thought to myself, quietly walking myself towards the door, slowly sliding myself out the door into the pitch dark hallway.

I strolled down the hallway in the direction of my room with ease, dodging any obstacles that would cause any kind of dilemma.

As a door way came into view, an adorable sound escaped Yuuki's slightly parted but pouted lips, on the lines of a, "Mmm.."

I snickered to myself.. She doesn't falter to amuse me..

I stepped into my room, gently clenching the door knob and closing the door lightly. I walked us over to my four-post bed, sitting myself down on the side of the bed while I laid her down gently, her body first and then her head. I swept my legs over the side of the bed and then slid the blanket up over her body, stopping mid-way past her torso. I laid my head down on the pillow, gazing at Yuuki's calmed features.

I started humming softly, as the humming gradually formed into hushed words..

"As the pain sweeps through, makes no sense for you. Every thrill is gone, wasn't too much fun at all.."

Yuuki.. My thoughts decided to run off with me again, my hand crawling over to her creamy, fair-skinned cheek... rolling myself over to give myself full access to feeling her soft, silken face.

"But I'll be there for you-ou-ou.." my fingers trailed over from her cheek to her chocolate-like, silky hair.. tangling and entwining my fingers into her short locks.. exploring the softness of it.

"As the world falls dooooooooown... fallin'.." my arms gently wrapping around her, clinging her to me...

"As the world is falling down.." Holding her tighter to me, a smile graced my lips...

"Falling in love.." I whispered, her breathing mellow, her pulsing heart smooth and steady.. expressing a beautiful rhythm within her as I listened carefully.. the world of my imagination engulfing me in a soundful slumber...

"My dear girl.. this shall be your lullaby."

Was the last thing that left my mind, triggering a wonderful... warm feeling in the pit of my stomach.
