Dear Diary,
My name is Yuuki Kuran. My Uncle Rido just gave me this new diary so that I could write about how I am feeling. He does not really understand my feelings but he is trying to, so he thought this might help.
Let me start by explaining how I ended up in my unlce's care.
About a year ago, Rido came after me at my home. Where I lived with my big brother, mother, and father. They were all planning to fight him to keep him from taking me, and would even go as far as to sacrifice themselves. I could not let that happen, because I loved them all very much. They mean more to me than anything. Anyways, when he arrived at the manor, mother and father sent my big brother, Kaname, to the basement to guard me.
As soon as I realized what my parents were going to do, I escaped Kaname and ran upstairs. Which was very surprising because of how much stronger he is than me. I got outside in a manner of a few minutes. Once outside I ran between my parents and my uncle.
"Uncle Rido, please. You came here for me, I will go with you as long as you leave my family alone. Please, don't hurt them, they mean everything to me." I had said.
Rido had this smile on his face that made him look like a demon, which in a way I guess he kind of is. He held his hand out for me.
I started to walk toward him, but father put his arm around my waist and pulled me back. "You are not taking my daughter, brother." He had said.
"Father," I had replied, tears running down my cheeks. "Please, let me go. I want to be with Uncle. I don't want you guys to be taken away from me."
"Uncle, if I go with you willingly... Will you please allow me to see my family once a month. And to write to them, that way they know that I am alright?"
Uncle Rido seemed to be considering this idea, because he had a thoughtful look on his face. He nodded.
"Very well, I will let you spend one weekend with them every month. As long as you come and live with me, and you agree to be mine and mine alone," He'd said.
I nodded and looked up at my father, Haruka. "Father, its okay. I want to be with Uncle if it means you three don't have to die." I'd said and hugged him. "Please let me go?"
My father sighed and wrapped his arms tightly around my body. "Alright..." He had said softly. "If this is what you want." He released me and I hugged my mother next.
I saw father walk over to Uncle and I barely heard him whisper softly, "If you harm my daughter or don't take care of her, I will kill you."
Mother had me wrapped in her arms. "Yuki, my darling girl... If my brother hurts you, you tell us and we will be there to get you. You understand?"
"Mother... It will be okay. He won't hurt me... He wouldn't want to take me if he was just going to harm me. Don't worry."
Juri then let go of me and I looked to Kaname. He was standing on the porch, and was glaring angrily at Uncle Rido. I walked up to the porch and hugged him.
He held me protectively in his arms, and close to his body.
"Yuki, you can't do this... Don't go... Please..." He said softly into my ear. "Please, I love you, I don't want him to take you away..."
"Big brother... I don't think you should worry... I am sure there is someone that ou love more than me. So don't pretend that you need me here... Uncle will take care of me. I will see you in a month and I will write you until then. I promise..." I remember saying softly to him. "I love you, big brother. Take care of yourself, okay?" I pulled back from the hug and leaned up to kiss his cheek.
Kaname sighed.
"Uncle? Is it oka for me to go and get some of my things?" I looked back at Uncle Rido. He simply nodded and Mother followed me in to help me pack.
SO that was how I ended up in Uncle Rido's care. He even gave me my own room, which I admit I found to be quite surprising. I thought he'd want me to be in the same bed with him... Anyways, I am actually enjoying it here.
While Uncle does seem to be tense around me, he is a lot nicer than I had expected. My favorite thing about being here with him is that he likes to cook, and he is really good at it. I never knew he could cook, I figured he'd have a personal chef or something to do at that for him.
He made me these really amazing apple cinnamon waffles the first evening I was here. They were to die for. And it was all made from scratch. YUMMY!
Well, for now I need to go, it is almost time for my bath before bed and I think I want to see if Uncle will watch a movie with me after my bath.
