My new big story! After finishing off My Sweet Memories, I got sad and needed to write a new big story!
I hope you like and review :)
Arisu Kuran is Kaname's younger sister and unknown to Yuki; her older sister. She has the dark brown hair, the brow/reddish eyes and unpredictable mood swings. She has grown up with Kaname denying his feelings and rejecting marriage proposals from all. Sick of having to act the noble princess she decided to use her talent of singing; against Kaname's wishes, becomes famous. Bored of that after a while decides to join her brother at Cross Academy, as she too feels the time for Yuki to know; fast approaching.
(Age 9)
"Arisu-chan! Please stop running around like that!" Growled the stern voice, "Why can't you act like your noble brother?"
But I don't want to be like brother, I frowned, my brother looks unhappy being the way he is, he sat reading on the sofa obediently; his eyes flash up to mine and he sighs.
"Ichio, thank you but I can look after my own sister." He says, his voice not showing any emotion, he goes back to reading as the scary old man leaves.
"Brother?" I sit next to him on the sofa, "Why do you not play anymore?"
"I have to be like father, I have to be the leader now Arisu, I cannot play like we used to." He looks up at my sad face and strokes back my hair.
I felt sorry for my brother; not being able to play anymore, even though we had been taken into the Ichijo's care since mother and father died he had changed and acted like the other adults.
"How about you go and find Takuma?" He suggested with a smile before going back to his book.
"Yeah!" I grinned, Takuma was sure to play!
I happily skipped to Ichijo's room and knocked on his door, the maids passed and bowed before commenting on my pretty dress. "Brother got me it." I replied proudly.
The door opened and the maids bowed again and took their leave; Takuma grinned at me, he was way taller than me even though I was only a year younger.
"It's not fair how tall you are." I frowned, "I feel so small."
Takuma replied by holding his stomach and burst out laughing, "That's what you wanted me for?"
"No!" I crossed my arms, "I wanted to see if you would play?"
His smile remained and he nodded, "Sure? In the garden?"
I ran after him through the trees; how can he run so fast? I was nearly out of breath already; I stopped and bent over hands resting on my knees.
"You ok?" He called out, I looked up and saw him standing on pile of rocks a distance away, the sun was setting and it gave a beautiful warm glow behind him. I frowned as my stomach felt tingly.
He was handsome; his blonde hair falling in his face, his bright green eyes and his never failing smile, my heart fluttered, hum, maybe we should play princes and princesses next; I grinned to myself. Takuma would make a perfect prince.
"Yeah, I'm coming!" I grinned and ran to keep up with him, jumping up the rocks easily and reaching for his outstretched hand. "Thanks, I'm glad you agreed to play with me, poor brother is so boring lately."
"Well he has to take on a big responsibility now Arisu. I guess he feels a bit under pressure at the moment." He pulled me along with him until we stood on the edge of a rock cliff, we could oversee houses and tall buildings.
"I don't ever want to be like that." I pouted, I never want to take on such a big responsibility that it changes me.
He looked at me surprised through his blonde hair, his green eyes wide, "But you are a pureblood Arisu, you can't escape that."
I looked down to the floor, what a burden it is, "I know."
(Weeks Later)
Why would I want to do that? Wouldn't that mean to take on responsibility too? I didn't want that!
"No, I don't want to be Kaname's bride!" I yelled and sprung up from the sofa and ran down the corridor and threw open the door and leapt into Takuma's arms.
"What?" He gasped.
"I don't want to marry brother!" I cried, "I don't want to be a queen!"
He sighed and held me closer, he understood, how was it that it was only him that did understand?
I felt Takuma's head move and he gasped, I looked behind to see Kaname leaning on the door frame, "I see now Arisu, I understand."
What did he mean?
"What." I frowned, he slowly walked over and held out his arms, was brother finally going to hug me after all this time?
I wearily went to him and I felt his arms close around me, "I understand," I felt him look above to Takuma then back to me, "I still have Yuki, but you should not deny who you are."
I nodded, that's right when the time comes we can let our little sister know who she really is and she can marry brother and become queen. My only worry would be if she were to reject him; then that would mean for me as the eldest to marry him for certain. I would have to make sure that never happens.
"Will you came to visit her with me soon?" He whispers, I nod instantly of course I wanted to see her. "But remember you cannot tell her anything."
(A week later)
"Kaname-sempi!" The little girl happily yelled she ran up to him and they hugged closely, I looked to Takuma as I stepped out of the car.
"He hugs her closer than me." I whisper.
"Does that upset you?" He frowned.
I felt a smile grow; "No, I'm glad." I saw the happy blonde smile back at me and I felt even better.
"Go meet your sister." He says quietly.
I nod and close the door, turning to see Kaname with a young Yuki holding his arm protectively, her eyes wide with curiosity.
"Yuki, this is my sister; Arisu." Kaname pushed Yuki a little forward to me.
"Hello Yuki," I smile, my heart beating fast, I hadn't seen my little sister for so long and I was so excited, "How are you?"
She shyly bowed and smiled, "I'm very well thank you Arisu-sempi, it's wonderful to meet Kaname-sempi's' sister."
How much I wanted to just hug her and tell her everything, just to have that sister contact again, but Kaname was watching very closely, I didn't want to ruin everything, especially since my mother sacrificed herself to protect this little prodigy. She looked so much like mother, I did only a little; I was more like Kaname and father. Maybe that's why the evil uncle only wanted her.
(Age 16)
I had felt like I was being suffocated in this mansion; it was so hard acting a noble pureblood, no fun.
After singing for soirées for a while now I had increased my interest in the talent, but maybe I could sing more than sad slow ballads, I wanted fun and sexy.
After talking to Takuma about it he did nothing but stare wide eyed at me for hours, I sighed what was so surprising about this to him, he knew that it was what I wanted. He had been acting so weird lately.
"I've hired an agent anyway, he's a vampire, I think he used to work for your father actually, but that was for acting right? Well he's good at keeping all the vampire secrets away from the human eyes and he's hired extra security and stuff been as I'm a stupid pureblood." I finally looked to Takuma at the side of me, "For crying out loud Takuma!" I threw a pillow at his still surprised face.
"I..i don't know what to say." He whispered, stuttering and fiddling with the book in front of him.
"I thought you understood?" I stood up, angry now, please don't tell me my best friend was turning against it.
"I.. I do! But, " He shook his head, "You're a pureblood."
I sighed and couldn't believe he actually just said that.
"Fine!" I picked up my books off his bed and my jacket, that was it!
I opened the door and stormed out; I heard fast footsteps behind me, "I'm sorry, what are you doing?" He noticed I had walked past my bedroom and was walking down the stairs, "You can't leave!"
"If I stay here any longer I will end up killing myself! It's horrible being expected to be a person that you're not!" I yelled my hands waving about in anger. "I thought you understood." I shook my head slowly as the anger disappeared and sadness creeped in my heart. My Takuma had deceived me.
"No, please! Arisu! What about Kaname?" He yelled, maids were looking opened mouthed at the scene.
"He'll be fine. He has you and the others." I whispered and closed the front door behind me.
(Age 18)
With the drums and bass and lead guitar playing; I sang, this was what made me happy, being my own person and people liked me for it, only it was the humans, most vampires liked it too; obviously those who knew I was a pureblood found it revolting. But I didn't care, that they never said anything due to the fact I was a Kuran.
Ok, I was a bit rocky, with the black lace and leather jacket, but what else is a good image for a rebel pureblood? Quite ironic I thought.
I threw my head back and as my hair flipped down slowly; I sensed something, I looked through the stage lights and saw two very familiar figures. I knew who they were but ignored them. I hadn't of seen them since I left and now my heart was pounding really hard, I was very aware of them there and I tried to not let it affect my performance.
Takuma, that's who was beside Kaname, I knew that scent anywhere, the sweet smell of rose tea, Kaname's power radiated throughout the arena. Suddenly I wished I wasn't preforming my most suggestive song at this moment. I used my power to find out what their auras were, how were they feeling? Kaname, his was red and a light white colour over the edge, anger; yet the white suggested he had missed me. What surprised me more was Takuma's. I nearly forgot to sing the next chorus.
A pink shade overplayed with white and of course yellow. The yellow being his usual happiness, the white suggesting he missed me too; but the pink sent tingles through me.
Pink for pleasure.
For what reason I tried not to think about; I gripped my microphone harder.
I waltzed into my dressing room and closed the door quickly behind me, leaning against it out of breath.
"That was quite a performance there sister."
I knew that voice and even though I prepared myself for it after the last songs it still shook me. His eyes narrowed, "You have had your fun, now we need you back with us. We are going to join Cross Academy to prove that humans and Vampires can co-exist happily."
I rolled my eyes, "Of course." I sat and ignored the person behind him, blushing at the shade of his pink aura. Why did I have to develop my powers in my late teen years? Has he always had a pink shade? I knew he had always had a faint yellow around him but now after training my powers I could see clearly now.
"You need me why?" I asked, looking up to Kaname who now leaned on the desk in the corner.
"Your sister needs you."
Of course, is it her time already?
"Yuki." I sighed.
I had to go to make sure all went smoothly, if she rejected him I would have to marry him.
I nodded, "Ok, I'll go."
