Kuran Manor, Japan

"Onii-sama…" a quiet moan escaped the beautiful woman's lips. Yuuki's eyes were turning a crimson red, as the scent of her blood reached her. Kaname drew back, allowing his head to bob upwards to seek the comfort of her gaze. His eyes glowing too, her blood had stained his perfectly angelic lips.

How long it had been since Kaname had last tasted her blood...? Yet he still remembered with perfect clarity how it smelled, filling his animalistic senses until it was the only thing he could feel smell and taste. He loved with a burning passion the girl he held sinfully close in his strong arms. He always would, even in a million years; the feelings he held for Yuuki would never change.

"Yes, Yuuki?" he asked, his eyes changing back to their normal mystifying color. Yuuki stared at his marble face for a moment, taking in his perfect alabaster skin, his broad, yet graceful features. As he stared into her eyes, she leaned forward and licked a trickle of blood at the corner of his slanted mouth. She leaned back, and looked into his eyes, not averting her gaze at his piercing stare.

"What are we to do, now?" she asked, directing her eyes into his face trustingly. He would always take care of her. He would, and both of them knew this.

"I have some aquintences, in America, I plan to bring you to visit them. We should be safe there, at least for a while. I feel it would be best to stay there. I must warn you; they are not like us, nor any other vampire you have met. I would explain, but I think it would be best if we were to wait until you meet them yourself. Now I must go and set our journey there. I will have Seiren show you to your rooms so you can rest before we leave. I shall join you when I finish the flight arrangements." He stood, and kissed her on her forehead before slipping away into the shadows of the dark manor.

Seiren suddenly appeared at Yuuki's side, surprising Yuuki.

"This way please, Yuuki-sama." Seiren led Yuuki down one hallway, and as they walked slightly further, Yuuki started to remember her way to her rooms. Soon she was unconsciously leading the way.

As they reached a heavily ornate oak door, Yuuki paused before entering. Memories swirled in her mind of when she was young.

It was in these rooms she spent the first five years of her tragic life. When she opened the door, she was lulled by the scents of the family that had cared for her. The strongest, besides her own, was of course Kaname's. The presence of Juuri and Haruka lingered as well.

The rooms decorated in navy blue and dark violet, with accents of gold. The first room to enter was her old study, the room was paneled and portraits of her family adorned the walls.

Each portrait was in a golden frame, she could feel magic around them, to keep the paintings safe from the many disasters that could befall them. There were syrup maple wood floors, and the furnishings were a luxurious black Tuscan leather. A desk sat in the corner of the far left wall. Her dad had often sat at that desk, and there were still trinkets from 11 years prior.

On the opposite wall, there was another door (which had little scribbles and letters that she herself had drawn. Her mother had said they were masterpieces), which Yuuki knew led to her bedroom, and from there, the adjoining bathroom.

She turned to Seiren, "Thank you for your help, I wish to rest" Seiren bowed, and left the room, closing the door behind her, and leaving Yuuki to cope with the deathly memories in the room she was in.

When Yuuki was sure that Seiren had left, she walked slowly around the room, her long, slender fingers brushing against the smooth leather of the couch. She glanced at each painting, and then headed to her bedroom.

As she entered, another wave of memories hit her. She stood for a moment, absorbing these thoughts, and then glanced around the room. It was just as she remembered it. The same floors (plus a rug for the winter which had been left there for a very long time), her bed was covered with a pink and yellow flowery bedspread, and orange and green pillowcases with hearts. The walls were a light pink with crayon marks about as height as she had been when she had first drawn them. The white paint on the door was covered in stickers of different flowers, hearts and stars.

Yuuki was fatigued, and headed toward the bed. Her head barely hit the pillows, before she fell into a deep rejuvenating sleep.

The Cullen's House, Forks Washington

The entire Cullen Family sat in the huge, white living room, waiting for Carlisle to explain why he had gathered them there. A blonde female was staring at her fingernails, waiting carelessly as a male next to her with dark hair was rolling her eyes at her annoyance. Standing behind them was a fairy-like female, happily bobbing her head from side to side in thought; she was being watched intently by the stares of another blond haired male. Next to them was a man with gem eyes which were falling on the female in his lap who was staring at the ends of her waist long hair. Another girl the image of her father was sitting on the floor, joking with a tan skinned man who was joking back. The topaz eyed man gave him a look, and he quieted down a bit, nervous.

Carlisle paced (which was odd, because vampires could sit still) as he spoke his next words, "I have something to tell you all," Carlisle began, everyone looking at him, waiting to hear what he was about to say. "We are expecting some visitors, friends of mine, from Japan. They have run into some trouble, and have requested that they come and visit so as to escape from danger."

All of the Cullen's stared at him, surprised. It had been a while since anyone had come to visit, besides the Denali coven. Carlisle continued on, "These friends are not like us though, in many ways. In Japan, they are deemed the royalty of their Vampire community. They have extraordinary powers, and are more powerful than many of the vampires we know. Their names are Kuran Kaname and Kuran Yuuki. I do not know how long they will be staying with us, but I know that it will possibly be quite a while. We are expecting them here by late tomorrow evening, and I think they are bringing a few friends of their own."

"What is there diet?" Bella asked; her face was filled with concern. "They don't drink human blood, do they?"

"I know that they can, and some will at times of need, but most often they will drink the blood of their mates, or a synthetic blood substitution called blood tablets. They, are pacifists, and avoid human blood." Carlisle told her. Bella's face relaxed some, but not completely.

"But Vampires don't have blood," said Rosalie, somewhat confused.

"They will be here soon, and you will understand, I promise, before then, I cannot give too much information." Bella seemed tense again, and so Edward rubbed her back, and she laid against him. There was no way of knowing what this remarkably and hopefully friendly visit would bring them. Not even Alice could see this future.
