Kaname rolled over and smiled; his eyes were focused on the girl curled up next to him. Her long black hair sprawled in perfect swirls across the light crème color of the satin pillowcase. Her cheeks were rosy and her mouth was slightly open. He had waited ten long years to have her by his side once again, and no one was going to keep her from him ever again. "Onii-sama?" the girl mumbled, her voice muffled by the blanket she was curled up against.
"Yes, Yuki?" Yuki smiled as her name rolled off his tongue. Within the blink of an eye, she had him pinned to the bed and was sitting on his stomach with a wicked smirk plastered across her face. "Well, good morning to you too. You seem in a better mood today." She nodded and began to stretch with her arms in the air, arching her back as if she were a cat.
"I slept well, Onii-sama." Kaname pushed a strand of his pitch black hair away from his face and sat up, causing Yuki to slide down into his lap. "No nightmares."
He chuckled as he scooped her up in his arms and placed her feet on the hardwood floor of his dorm. "It's time for you to go to class…" his voice trailed off as the sun poured in through an opening in the maroon colored drapes. "You wouldn't want to be late again, especially if you're trying not to call attention to yourself."
"Trust me, Kaname. Any attention I was going to provoke, I've done so already. In case you didn't notice, my hair sort of grew twenty inches overnight. That's rather hard to overlook." Slipping her on her day class uniform, which in her opinion was a total joke now, she kissed Kaname gently on the cheek and leapt out the window. She landed on all fours, like a cat, and then stepped into a sprint. Kaname was right about one thing, it simply wouldn't do to be late; chairman's daughter or not.
Kaname watched her round the corner, leaving moon dorm grounds, until he could no longer see her. He worried about her so much at times that he wished he could just hold her to his chest and never let her out of his sight. Ten years he had trusted Headmaster Cross to look after her, to keep her from danger…but now that she finally had her memories back he could see no reason why they should stay at Cross Academy. No reason other than he didn't think he could convince her to leave her adopted father or Zero Kiryu. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, she loved Zero in a way that he would never understand. Kaname thought it best to leave it alone; afraid of pushing her away because of his jealousy over something he knew would never happen.
"You're worrying again, Kaname-sama. If you continue, you will drive her away." Kaname looked up to see Aido leaning against the door way. His blonde hair hung in front of his eyes, which were laughing mercilessly. "You trusted her before you restored her memories….why not now?"
Kaname started to walk gracefully out of the room before turning to Aido, a look of despair and grief etched into his angelic face. "Because before she adored me for saving her life, and now she hates me for giving it back…."
"You're wrong, Kaname. That girl adores you just as much as she ever did, if not more. Just because she finally knows the truth doesn't mean she'll go running into Kiryu's arms, you know? It's not as if she were just using you to get her memories back. She's not that clever…"
The silence that passed between them was a loud resounding confession. Kaname Kuran had always seemed so sure of himself, so confidant. He could have anything and anyone he wanted…but for the first time since Aido could remember, Kaname was scared. It was a vulnerable position and so raw and uncensored that he felt like he should look away. "Would it be best if I left her be, Aido?"
Aido shook his head quickly. "No. Because then she would just believe you abandoned her like your parents." At the mention of the Kuran's parents, Kaname's face clouded over. "You haven't told her….have you?"
"And what would she say if I did?" He slid down the wall, his face buried in his hands. It took his friend a moment to realize that he was crying. "She really would hate me then; hate this life. I could have saved her from it! I shouldn't have given her back her memories!"
Aido knelt down next to him and patted his head in a nurturing nature. "She would have remembered eventually. She was having the nightmares again, and with your uncle residing on campus as well…its better she remembered then him attacking while she was clueless."
"I suppose…" Kaname whispered between sobs. "She'll end up hating me, Aido."
Meanwhile, Yuki had almost reached the Sun Dorms for her change of clothes. Against her better judgment she had decided to blow off class for the day. Pulling out the key to her room, her eyes widened at the familiar scent of blood. Spinning around, the key dropped from her hands as she ran into the haunting, blood covered arms of a woman with long flowing black hair.
"Hello, darling…" the woman purred as she nuzzled her nose into the young girl's hair. Yuki clung to the woman for dear life as she bit into her neck and began to drink. After seemed like hours, she pulled back and smiled happily.
"Mama!"
