Vampire Knight
~Kaname and Senri~
Senri's P.O.V.
Chapter 1 - The Meeting.
Ever since I was a kid I was told that I would be marring someone named Kaname Kuran when I grew up and I also knew that it was an arranged marriage between our two kingdom's. I wish I didn't have to marry somone that I had never meet but from what my dad, Rido Shiki, told me that it was good for both kingdom's if we married. My friends all think its some kind of trap and that I should tun away but I also kinda-of wanted to see who my fiance would be and I didn't want to leave my family. They were all glad that I wasn't running away but they were still upset about the hole arranged marriage thing I told them that it didn't really matter to me. I had very few friends since I was the prince of our kingdom the kingdom of Naria which is next to the kingdom of Raviela and that's the kigdom my father wants to marry me off to. The prince of Raviela is Kaname Kuran, my fiance, I was happy but also a little confused since my fiance was also a guy. I didn't know want Kaname was like since I've never meet him but according to my father I will be meeting him at the engagement party that would be happening in a few weeks. Hopefully he would be a fun guy and would like me since a lot of people didn't since I seemed to be bored with them when I wasn't it was just how my face looked. I always looked like I was bored so it was hard to keep people talking to me there were a few nobles who seemed to understand me. They were Rima Toya, Akatsuki Kain, Maira Kurenai, and my bodyguard who seemed more like a friend than a bodyguard his name was Kato Rose.
Senri: "Kato what is going to happen from now on?"
Kato: "I don't know master that will depend on you and your fiance once you are married."
Senri: "Yeah to a person I don't even know... what will happen if we don't like each other?"
Kato: "Master you shouldn't put yourself down you might wind up liking your future spouse."
I looked at him not beliving him what he was saying but knew that once I saw Kaname I would know what to do I looked out the window towards my unforseen future. There were other people who would love a chance to marry a royal and to get the power that they hold which is why I hardly ever dated. My friends never even asked for anything unless it was neccessary like a drink or something while there over at the castle and that's it. The only friends I have are Rima, Kain, Maria, and Kato they always invite me out or come over to keep me company. When they found out about the arranged marriage Maria was the only one who didn't seem to like it to much. My father walked into the room and I looked up at him and he just smiled at me and walked over to me and I looked at him with my usual bored expression.
Senri: "Yes father?"
Rido: "Are you ready to meet your spouse my son?"
I could see the calculations going off in his head and just nodded knowing that he was planning something like again but I wished that he would leave mother and me out of his sceme's. I had never meet anyone outside our kingdom so I guess dad just wanted to get me out of the castle since everyone I meet has always avoided me because of my eyes. I also loved my mother Midori Shiki she always seemed to place me first in her mind after my father and I loved her for it since that meant she loved me.
Rido: "Good my son do you have everything ready for when you do meet him?"
Senri: "Yes father everything is ready."
Rido: "Good."
Then he left and I knew he was getting excited about the upcoming engagement party but I didn't really like parties so I wasn't really looking foreward to it. I don't think any of my friends were looking foreward to the party I think it was because they didn't have anyone they liked at them. I was just bored of trying to play nice to all the people who were all just wantig something from you it really annoyed me. Especially how people try to stick up to the pureblood's and get them whatever they want it makes me sick watching them do that although my dad seems to love it. I was only half-pureblood so I had a little bit of my father's blood in me but he didn't seem to like it when I didn't take after him I guess he hoped that I would turn out like him when I got older. Mother seemed to like me just the way I was which made me really happy my friends were just like my mother they didn't care how I was and it made me happy. I was about to head to the library when Kato walked in and told me that I had my lessons to get to and I sighed but headed off to them. Knowing if I missed them father wouldn't like it to much even though I already knew what was being taught I never understod my father's need for knowledge. I also hoped that the engagement party would go alright and I hoped that nothing bad would happen since our parents might think the other tried to hurt there son and start a war. However I knew that both parties didn't want to start a war between our nations since we were all living peacefully right now however no one knows how long that will last. My days past just like that with lessons first thing, then its off to training in martial arts, swords, and power's, then it was off to my prince duties and learning about the new duties that I would be doing. It was hard but I knew it was worth it to do all this stuff even if I might never use it however I did it all without complaining. The days past by very quickly with everyone preparing for the engagement party with last minute decorations, last minute fitings, and other thing's it was a real exhausting. When the day came that I would be seeing Kaname I was a nervous wreak everyone kept telling me to calm down and that everything would be alright. Then when the party began I was mingeling with everyone but not really enjoying myself that is until my father walked over to me.
Rido: "Senri come with me."
Senri: "Yes father."
I said as I followed behid him to where-ever he was taking me to and when we got there I was surprised because standing in front of me were four people. One was a small girl with short brown hair and reddish burgany eyes and she was wearing a beautiful dress I'm guessing she was Kaname's little sister Yuki. The one I saw next was a tall young man with short brown hair and burgandy eyes and he was dexed out in a black tux I thought that it might be Kaname but then I noticed the arm around the older women's waist. The older women had long brown hair and burgandy eyes and she was also wearing a beautiful long dress and she seemed really happy to be here along with her family. Then I saw him my future spouse Kaname Kuran he looked almost just like his father and I couldn't help but blush he was a little shorter than his father but I could see the resemblence. I also was able to tell the difference in them it seemed Kaname didn't like parties either from the way he was looking around annoyed. He looked at me shocked though and then my dad wrapped his arm around me and had me standing in front of him.
Rido: "This is my son Senri Shiki."
Guy: "My name is Haruka Kuran and this is my wife Juuri Kuran and my beautiful little daughter Yuki Kuran, and this is my son Kaname Kuran."
Yuki: "Its nice to meet you."
Senri: "Its nice to meet you to miss Yuki."
Juuri: "He's poliet that's rare."
Rido: "Of course he was raised to treat everyone with kindness."
Haruka: "Well then I'm sure him and Kaname will get along just fine, Kaname why don't you and Senri go and mingle?"
Kaname: "Yes father, shall we Senri."
Senri: "Of course."
He walked over to me and then we headed over to the refeashment table to get something to drink as we walked around talking well more like walking in silence. Then I heard yelling and looked around to see Rima running up to me pulling Kaito along with her and I couldn't help but smile at that.
Rima: "Your supposed to keep him with you Senri."
Kaito: "Its not his fault I was talking with Lady Midori about a few minor things."
Senri: "Kaname allow me to intriduce my bodyguard Kato Rose, and one of my best friends Rima Toya guys this is my fiance Kaname Kuran."
Rima: "It's nice to finally be able to put a face with the name and its nice to meet you."
Kaname: "Like-wise miss Toya."
Rima: "Please call me Rima and Senri have you seen Kain? His mother is looking for him."
Senri: "Hmm no I haven't sorry check around the coner's or the walls."
Rima: "Ok thanks!"
I sighed as she took off looking for Kain and when I looked back at Kaname I blushed again and looked away and we continued walking but this time he started up a conversatation.
Kaname: "So is she your only friend?"
Senri: "Hmm? Oh no she's one of them there's this guy Kato, and the boy who she's looking for Akatsuki Kain, and a hunter named Zero Kiryu."
Kaname: "Why are you friends with a hunter?"
Senri: "Yes, because of the way I look lots of people think I'm either bored with what's going on or that I'm annoyed so people don't like talking to me. However since I only stayed near the walls when I was at parties I happened to be next to Zero at one of the parties I was attending. He's the one that started the conversatation and we realized we were alot alike, people stayed away from me just like they did for him so we bonded a little of that."
Kaname: "So you became friends with him because you were alike?"
I nodded and he seemed ok with that, for now, I sighed and then a very cheerful blonde haired, green eyed boy came walking over to us and looked at Kaname.
Kaname: "Senri this is one of my friends Takuma Ichijo, Ichijo this is my fiance Senri Shiki."
Senri: "Its nice to meet you."
Takuma: "Its nice to meet you to Senri-sama."
I looked at them as they started talking and sighed and then looked out into the crowd to see Kain trying to run from his mother and couldn't help but laugh a little and smile looking at him. Then he came running over to me and hid behind me and that's when Kato stepped up behind me but I waved him off knowing Kain wouldn't hurt me.
Senri: "Kaname, Takuma allow me to introduce Akatsuki Kain one of my few friends and the one who tried to stop Kain is my bodyguard Kato Rose, Takuma."
I said smiling at them just as Kain's mother walked over and I nodded in the direction that Kain wanted me to send her to and then he sighed and came out from behind me.
Kain: "Sorry about that she gets really crazy at these parties."
Senri: "I know but you should humor her and this is my fiance Kaname and his friend Takuma Ichijo."
Kain bowed to them before having to run off again to escape his mother making me sigh and shack my head at him and then I could fell eyes on me well aimed at me but not on me. When I looked I saw that Takuma was looking at Kato blushing and I smiled at him and nodded it to Kaname who smiled and pushed Takuma foreward. Kato thinking he's going to attack got infront of me and grabbed Takuma just before he fell and then Kaname grabbed my had and pulled me away from there.
Kaname: "Maybe he'll finally found someone to really love."
Senri: "Maybe we all deserve love even if it is painful sometimes."
He nodded and we contiued on and I meet the rest of his friends Hanabusa Aido who seemed to really like Kaname and then Ruka Souen who seemed to think she was a better match for Kaname than me. Altough when she saw Rima smile at her she froze and I smiled and placed Rima right in front of her smiling and then Aido came up to us again asking about where Yuki was when Kain ran over. He almost tripped but Aido managed to stop him and I smiled noticing that everyone seemed to be hooking up at our engagement party. I just hoped that they wouldn't do something that they might regret since tonight would be the perfect night to do something and then regret it since we were all from different kingdoms.
